LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus BASIC Municipal Money Market Fund, covering the 12-month period from September 1, 2005, through August 31, 2006.

After more than two years of steady and gradual increases, on August 8 the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") decided to hold short-term interest rates unchanged at 5.25% . In the announcement of its decision, the Fed indicated that its previous rate hikes and higher energy prices have contributed to a mild slowdown in U.S. economic growth. Recent reports of cooling housing markets in many regions of the United States appeared to confirm this view.

However, the Fed's recent pause does not necessarily mean that it has finished raising short-term interest rates. Some inflation risks remain, and we expect the Fed to remain vigilant in its attempts to forestall any further acceleration of inflation. However, while inflation expectations seem to have remained somewhat above the Fed's comfort zone,a recent economic release, commonly known as the "beige book," may suggest that the Fed is dually committed not to raise rates so much as to damper the current economic growth cycle. In our judgment, future Fed action is likely to depend mainly on economic data, particularly employment numbers and such "core" inflation indicators as CPI and PPI.

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

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

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

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Colleen Meehan, Senior Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus BASIC Municipal Money Market Fund perform during the period?

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2006, the fund produced a yield of 2.78% .Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund produced an effective yield of 2.81% .1

Municipal money market yields continued to rise along with short-term interest rates, as the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") maintained its efforts to forestall inflationary pressures over most of the reporting period.

What is the fund's investment approach?

The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its net assets in short-term, high-quality municipal obligations that provide income exempt from federal income tax.The fund may also invest in high-quality, short-term structured notes, which are derivative instruments whose value is tied to underlying municipal obligations.

In pursuing this approach, we employ two primary strategies. First, we attempt to add value by constructing a diverse portfolio of high-quality, federally tax-exempt money market instruments. Second, we actively manage the fund's average maturity in anticipation of what we believe are interest-rate trends, supply-and-demand changes in the short-term municipal marketplace and anticipated liquidity needs.

For example, if we expect an increase in short-term supply, we may decrease the average weighted maturity of the fund, in an effort to position the fund to purchase new securities with higher yields, if higher yields materialize as a result of the increase in supply.Yields tend to rise when there is an increase in new-issue supply competing for investor interest. New securities are generally issued with maturities in the one-

year range which,if purchased,would tend to lengthen the fund's average weighted maturity.We also may decrease the average weighted maturity in a rising interest-rate environment. If we anticipate limited new-issue supply and lower interest rates, we may extend the fund's average maturity to maintain current yields for as long as we deem practical.At other times, we typically try to maintain an average weighted maturity that reflects our view of short-term interest-rate trends and future supply-and-demand considerations while anticipating liquidity needs.

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

The reporting period began in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which caused analysts to speculate that the Fed might pause in its ongoing tightening campaign at its September 2005 meeting to assess the storm's economic impact. Instead, the U.S. economy continued to expand, and the Fed raised short-term interest rates at each of three meetings over the final four months of 2005. During the opening months of 2006, the unemployment rate hit multi-year lows, consumer spending remained strong, and the Fed continued to raise short-term interest rates in its ongoing inflation-fighting effort. By July 2006, the overnight federal funds rate stood at 5.25% . However, during the summer of 2006, evidence of a softening housing market and lower-than-expected employment gains began to emerge. Consequently, at its August meeting, the Fed refrained from raising short-term interest rates for the first time in more than two years.

Yields of tax-exempt money market instruments rose along with interest rates. However, yields of shorter-dated municipal money market securities generally rose more sharply than longer-dated securities, causing yield differences along the maturity spectrum to narrow. Investors therefore continued to focus on instruments maturing in six months or less. Even institutional investors who normally favor longer-term securities began to purchase tax-exempt money market securities, adding to demand and putting downward pressure on tax-exempt yields.

The strengthening U.S. economy helped boost tax revenues for most states and municipalities, reducing their need to borrow to cover oper-

ating shortfalls. In addition, some issuers revised their borrowing programs to rely more heavily on variable-rate demand notes on which yields are reset weekly or monthly. Reduced issuance of one-year tax-exempt municipal notes amid robust investor demand helped constrain the rise in tax-exempt money market yields.

In this environment, we found opportunities for incrementally higher yields from tax-exempt commercial paper with maturities in the six to nine month range. For most of the reporting period, we maintained a relatively short weighted average maturity as interest rates rose. However, we moved to a slightly longer-than-average posture during the summer of 2006 to capture what we believed to be attractive yields from newly issued securities. We maintained that position in August, primarily in an effort to smooth out the fund's yield by limiting its exposure to variable-rate instruments.

What is the fund's current strategy?

Recent signs of an economic slowdown suggest to us that short-term interest rates are unlikely to move much higher. In our view, while additional rate hikes are possible, the Fed for now is waiting to assess the effects of its previous moves on inflation and the economy.

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.
1 Effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily and reinvested monthly. Past performance is
no guarantee of future results.Yields fluctuate. Income may be subject to state and local taxes, and
some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors.
Yields provided reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation,
pursuant to an agreement in effect until such time as shareholders are given at least 90 days'
notice to the contrary, and has committed to continue this agreement at least until August 31,
2007. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund's yield would have been 2.61% and the
fund's effective yield would have been 2.64%.

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 BASIC Municipal Money Market Fund from March 1, 2006 to August 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

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

Using the SEC's method to compare expenses

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

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment 
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended August 31, 2006 

 
Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 2.24 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,022.99 

Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of .44%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus BASIC Municipal Money Market Fund (the "fund") is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Municipal Funds, Inc. (the "Company") which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering five series including the fund.The fund's investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liq-uidity.The Dreyfus Corporation (the "Manager" or "Dreyfus") serves as the fund's investment adviser.The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation ("Mellon Financial"). Dreyfus Service Corporation (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager,is the distributor of the fund's shares,which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

It is the fund's policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, fund 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's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the Board of Directors to represent the fair value of the fund's investments.

The Fund 23


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date 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. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Cost of investment represents amortized cost.

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

(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 gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain.

(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.

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not

24


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

At August 31, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.

The accumulated capital loss carryover of $6,337 is available to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to August 31, 2006. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2007.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended August 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005, were all tax exempt income.

At August 31, 2006, 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 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 .50% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets and is payable monthly.The Manager has undertaken, until such time as it gives shareholders at least 90 days' notice to the contrary, to reduce the management fee paid by the fund, if the fund's aggregate expenses, exclusive of taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, exceed an annual rate of .45% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets.The Manager has committed to continue this undertaking at least until August 31, 2007. The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $571,966 during the period ended August 31, 2006.

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 April 18, 2006, 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 received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its 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.The Board members also considered that the Manager also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and the Manager's extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructure.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund's Management Fee, Expense Ratio, and Performance. The Board members reviewed reports prepared by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, which included information comparing the fund's management fee and expense ratio with a group of comparable funds (the "Expense Group") and with a broader group of funds (the "Expense Universe") that were

The Fund 29

selected by Lipper. Included in these reports were comparisons of contractual and actual management fee rates, total operating expenses, and total return performance.The Manager furnished these reports to the Board along with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Expense Group and Expense Universe.

The Board reviewed the results of the Expense Group and Expense Universe comparisons for various periods ended February 28, 2006. The Board reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe, and noted that the fund's contractual and actual management fees were above and below the Expense Group medians, respectively.The Board also noted that the fund's total expense ratio was lower than the median of the Expense Group and Expense Universe (in the first quartile, which reflects the group of funds with the lowest expense ratios).

The Board members also reviewed the reports prepared by Lipper that presented the fund's performance for various periods ended February 28, 2006, and placed significant emphasis on comparisons of total return performance among 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 was selected by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund achieved first quintile total return rankings (the first quintile reflecting the highest performance ranking group) among its Performance Group and Performance Universe for each reported time period up to 10 years.

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 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 Manager's performance, and the services provided.

30


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 decline in fund assets 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

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF T H E
F U N D 's M A N A G E M E N T A G R E E M E N T ( U n a u d i t e d ) (continued)

realized any economies of scale would be less. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was within ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered and that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was reasonable given the fund's overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.The Board also noted the Manager's absorption of certain expenses of the fund over the past year 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 continuation of the fund's Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations.

  • The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Manager are adequate and appropriate.
  • The Board was satisfied with the fund's performance.
  • The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, comparative performance and expense and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided, and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with the fund.
  • The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by the Manager in connection with the management fee rate charged to the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were 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.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus BASIC New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund, covering the 12-month period from September 1, 2005, through August 31, 2006.

After more than two years of steady and gradual increases, on August 8 the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") decided to hold short-term interest rates unchanged at 5.25% . In the announcement of its decision, the Fed indicated that its previous rate hikes and higher energy prices have contributed to a mild slowdown in U.S. economic growth. Recent reports of cooling housing markets in many regions of the United States appeared to confirm this view.

However, the Fed's recent pause does not necessarily mean that it has finished raising short-term interest rates. Some inflation risks remain, and we expect the Fed to remain vigilant in its attempts to forestall any further acceleration of inflation. However, while inflation expectations seem to have remained somewhat above the Fed's comfort zone,a recent economic release, commonly known as the "beige book," may suggest that the Fed is dually committed not to raise rates so much as to damper the current economic growth cycle. In our judgment, future Fed action is likely to depend mainly on economic data, particularly employment numbers and such "core" inflation indicators as CPI and PPI.

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

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

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

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Joseph Irace, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus BASIC New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund perform during the period?

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2006, the fund produced a yield of 2.75% .Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund produced an effective yield of 2.78% .1

Yields of tax-exempt money market securities generally rose along with short-term interest rates, as the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") continued its efforts to forestall potential inflationary pressures during most of the reporting period.

What is the fund's investment approach?

The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal and New Jersey state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its net assets in short-term, high-quality municipal obligations that provide income exempt from federal and New Jersey state personal income taxes.The fund may also invest in high-quality, short-term structured notes, which are derivative instruments whose value is tied to underlying municipal obligations.

In pursuing this investment approach, we employ two primary strategies. First, we attempt to add value by constructing a diverse portfolio of high-quality, tax-exempt money market instruments from New Jersey exempt issuers. Second, we actively manage the fund's average maturity in anticipation of what we believe are interest-rate trends and supply-and-demand changes in New Jersey's short-term municipal marketplace.

For example, if we expect an increase in short-term supply, we may decrease the average weighted maturity of the fund, which should position the fund to purchase new securities with higher yields, if higher yields materialize as a result of the increase in supply.Yields tend

The Fund 3


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

to rise when there is an increase in new-issue supply competing for investor interest. New securities are generally issued with maturities in the one-year range, which if purchased, would tend to lengthen the fund's average weighted maturity. If we anticipate limited new-issue supply, we may extend the fund's average maturity to maintain then-current yields for as long as we deem practical.At other times, we typically try to maintain an average weighted maturity that reflects our view of short-term, interest-rate trends and future supply-and-demand considerations.

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

The Fed raised short-term interest rates gradually and steadily during most of the reporting period, driving the overnight federal funds rate to 5.25% by the end of June 2006.The Fed's moves were a response to generally robust economic growth, which proved to be especially strong during the first quarter of 2006, as labor markets strengthened and prices of oil and other commodities surged higher.As a result, during the spring of 2006, investors grew more concerned about inflation. These worries were exacerbated by hawkish comments by some Fed members, leading investors to conclude that the Fed might raise interest rates more than they had expected. Concerns regarding an overheated economy appeared to wane during the summer, however, when U.S. housing markets softened and employment gains moderated. As a result, investors looked forward to a possible end to the Fed's credit tightening campaign.The Fed obliged at its August meeting by holding the federal funds rate steady.

The growing U.S. economy benefited New Jersey's fiscal condition as tax receipts proved to be higher than originally projected. Although the process was contentious at times, the state adopted a relatively conservative budget for the 2007 fiscal year and made progress toward resolving its longer-term structural imbalances.

Yields of tax-exempt money market instruments generally rose along with interest rates. However, yields of shorter-dated municipal money market securities climbed more sharply than longer-dated securities, leaving little difference in the yields of tax-exempt securities with

4


maturities between six months and four years. Investors therefore focused mainly on instruments maturing in six months or less, which put downward pressure on yields at the short end of the maturity range.

Due to low yields from very short-term, floating-rate instruments, we generally focused on seasoned municipal notes and bonds maturing over six to nine months. We occasionally found opportunities with somewhat longer maturities, enabling us to construct a "laddered" portfolio of securities scheduled to mature at different times over the next nine to 10 months.This strategy is designed to help protect the fund's yield while ensuring that cash remains available for redemptions and new investments.

What is the fund's current strategy?

Despite signs of slower economic growth and the Fed's pause in August, short-term interest rates may move higher if inflation concerns persist. Accordingly, in an effort to balance the need to maintain flexibility with a desire to avoid the volatility and low yields of very short-term instruments, we have set the fund's weighted average maturity in a range we consider slightly longer than industry averages. In our judgment, this is a prudent strategy until current uncertainty regarding Fed policy is resolved.

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.
1 Effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily and reinvested monthly. Past performance is
no guarantee of future results.Yields fluctuate. Income may be subject to state and local taxes for
non-New Jersey residents, and some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax
(AMT) for certain investors.Yields provided reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The
Dreyfus Corporation, pursuant to an agreement in effect until such time as shareholders are given
at least 90 days' notice to the contrary, and has committed to continue this agreement at least until
August 31, 2007. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund's yield would have been
2.56% and the fund's effective yield would have been 2.59%.

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 August 31, 2006 

 
Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 2.29 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,022.94 

Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of .45%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus BASIC New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund (the "fund") is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Municipal Funds, Inc. (the "Company") which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering five series including the fund. The fund's investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of current income exempt from federal and New Jersey state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.The Dreyfus Corporation (the "Manager" or "Dreyfus") serves as the fund's investment adviser. The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation ("Mellon Financial"). Dreyfus Service Corporation (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund's shares, which are sold without a sales charge.

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

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

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the Board of Directors to represent the fair value of the fund's investments.

20


(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date 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. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Cost of investment represents amortized cost.

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

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(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 gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain.

(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.

The Fund 21


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

At August 31, 2006, 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 August 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005, were all tax exempt income.

At August 31, 2006, 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 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 .50% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets and is payable monthly.The Manager has undertaken, until such time as it gives shareholders at least 90 days' notice to the contrary, to reduce the management fee paid by the fund, if the fund's aggregate expenses, exclusive of taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, exceed an annual rate of

22


.45% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets.The Manager has committed to continue this undertaking at least until August 31, 2007. The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $215,408 during the period ended August 31, 2006.

(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 inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended August 31, 2006 the fund was charged $52,268 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended August 31, 2006, the fund was charged $8,646 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended August 31, 2006, the fund was charged $4,313 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $49,130, chief compliance officer fees $1,895 and transfer agency per account fees $1,387, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $17,928.

(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.

  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
  Shareholders and Board of Directors
Dreyfus BASIC New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of Dreyfus BASIC New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund (one of the funds comprising Dreyfus Municipal Funds, Inc.), as of August 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the 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 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 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 August 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and others or by appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received.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 BASIC New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund at August 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated 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 fund's Board of Directors held on April 18, 2006, 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 received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its 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.The Board members also considered that the Manager also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and the Manager's extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructure.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund's Management Fee, Expense Ratio, and Performance. The Board members reviewed reports prepared by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, which included information comparing the fund's management fee and expense ratio with a group of comparable funds (the "Expense Group") and with a broader group of funds (the "Expense Universe") that were

26


selected by Lipper. Included in these reports were comparisons of contractual and actual management fee rates, total operating expenses, and total return performance.The Manager furnished these reports to the Board along with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Expense Group and Expense Universe.

The Board reviewed the results of the Expense Group and Expense Universe comparisons for various periods ended February 28, 2006. The Board reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe, and noted that the fund's contractual and actual management fees were at and below the Expense Group medians, respectively.The Board also noted that the fund's total expense ratio was in the first quintile among its Expense Group and Expense Universe (the first quintile reflecting the ranking group with the lowest expense ratios).

The Board members also reviewed the reports prepared by Lipper that presented the fund's performance for various periods ended February 28, 2006, and placed significant emphasis on comparisons of total return performance among 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 was selected by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund achieved first quintile total return rankings (the first quintile reflecting the highest performance ranking group) among its Performance Group, and first and second quintile total return rankings among its Performance Universe, for each reported time period up to 10 years.

Representatives of the Manager reviewed with the Board members the fee paid to the Manager or its affiliates by the one mutual fund managed by the Manager or its affiliates reported in the same Lipper category as the fund (the "Similar Fund"), and explained the nature of the Similar Fund and any differences, from the Manager's perspective, in providing services to the Similar Fund as compared to the fund.The Manager's representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries.The Board discussed the relationship of the management fees paid in light of the Manager's performance, and the services pro-

vided.The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Fund, to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund's management fee.The Board noted that the Similar Fund had the same contractual management fee rate as the fund.

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 decline in fund assets 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

28


realized any economies of scale would be less. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was within ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered and that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was reasonable given the fund's overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.The Board also noted the Manager's absorption of certain expenses of the fund over the past year 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 continuation of the fund's Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations.

  • The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Manager are adequate and appropriate.
  • The Board was satisfied with the fund's performance.
  • The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, comparative performance and expense and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided, and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with the fund.
  • The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by the Manager in connection with the management fee rate charged to the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were 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.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus High Yield Municipal Bond Fund, covering the period between its inception on September 30, 2005, through August 31, 2006.

After more than two years of steady and gradual increases, on August 8 the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") decided to hold short-term interest rates unchanged at 5.25% . In the announcement of its decision, the Fed indicated that its previous rate hikes and higher energy prices have contributed to a mild slowdown in U.S. economic growth. A cooling housing market appeared to confirm this view. The Fed also suggested that, despite the recent upward trend stemming from greater resource utilization and higher commodity prices, inflation is expected to subside from current levels.

Most sectors of the U.S. fixed-income market rallied in the wake of the Fed's announcement, including high yield bonds. Fixed-income investors apparently are optimistic that high energy prices and moderating home values may wring the adverse effects of excessive speculation from the market. Moreover, in our judgment, low default rates and moderate U.S. economic growth should help support high yield bond prices relative to other fixed-income market sectors. As always, we encourage you to talk with your financial advisor about these and other developments to help ensure that your portfolio remains properly diversified and aligned with your current and future investment goals.

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

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

W. Michael Petty and James Welch, Portfolio Managers

How did Dreyfus High Yield Municipal Bond Fund perform relative to its benchmark?

For the period between its inception on September 30, 2005, and the end of its annual reporting period on August 31, 2006, the fund produced an 11.35% total return.1 In comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, produced a 3.73% total return for the same period.2

Positive economic growth, strong business conditions and robust investor demand supported prices of high yield municipal bonds over the reporting period.These factors helped the fund produce a higher return than that of its benchmark, which placed less emphasis on tax-exempt securities from lower-rated issuers.

What is the fund's investment approach?

The fund primarily seeks high current income exempt from federal income tax. Secondarily, the fund may seek capital appreciation to the extent consistent with its primary goal.To pursue its goals, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax. The fund normally invests at least 65% of its assets in municipal bonds rated BBB/Baa or lower by independent rating agencies or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in defaulted municipal bonds. Municipal bonds rated below investment grade (BB/Ba or lower) are commonly known as "high yield" or "junk" bonds.The fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in higher-quality municipal bonds rated AAA/Aaa to A or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential.When selecting municipal bonds, we may assess the current interest rate environment and the municipal bond's credit profile and potential volatility in different rate environments.We focus on bonds with

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

the potential to offer attractive current income, including those 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 sell at a price below their face value, or to "premium" bonds, which sell at a price above their face value.The fund's allocation to either discount or premium bonds will change with our view of the current interest rate and market environments.We also may look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

The U.S. economy continued to expand, supporting credit conditions for high yield municipal bond issuers. Strengthening labor markets and rising corporate earnings helped offset potentially negative influences, including volatile energy prices and rising short-term interest rates.As a result, business conditions remained sound in most industries. Even the nation's airlines, which had been hard-hit by terrorism and higher fuel prices, saw business fundamentals improve after raising fares and reducing operating costs in a consolidating industry. The automotive industry, which has struggled with high labor costs and competitive pressures, saw its bonds rebound as companies took steps to address their structural problems.

In addition, the market was supported by strong investor demand for income-producing securities. Because high yield municipal bonds typically offer more attractive levels of tax-free income than municipal bonds with higher credit ratings, they were subject to particularly robust investor demand.

The fund benefited as market conditions improved. In addition, the fund received strong contributions from securities backed by the states' settlement of litigation with U.S. tobacco companies, which rallied when several key legal disputes were adjudicated in favor of the tobacco companies. While we found fewer opportunities among bonds issued on behalf of health care facilities, we nonetheless identified a number of heath care credits with strong income characteristics, helping to bolster the fund's performance. During the second half of the reporting

4


period, we found income opportunities among housing bonds backed by state mortgage programs as well as securities issued to finance charter schools and other public projects. In addition, the fund benefited when one of its holdings was "pre-refunded" during the reporting period, a process in which new bonds are issued at lower rates and the proceeds set aside to retire existing debt at the earliest opportunity.

What is the fund's current strategy?

We recently have seen signs of weaker economic growth, including a softening U.S. housing market and less impressive employment gains. Indeed, signs of a possible economic slowdown enabled the Federal Reserve Board to refrain from raising interest rates at its August meeting, the first in more than two years without a rate hike. However, we have seen no evidence of deteriorating credit conditions for high yield municipal bond issuers, and supply-and-demand factors appear to remain supportive of bond prices. Therefore, we have continued to find new opportunities among high yield municipal bonds, while maintaining our risk management strategies of broad diversification and extensive fundamental research into individual credits.

1 The fund's total return has been achieved over a relatively short time period and may not be
replicated over the long term.Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains
paid. Past performance is no 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 to state and local taxes, and some income may be subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax (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 in effect until August 31, 2006, at which time it was
terminated. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund's return would have been lower.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus High Yield Municipal Bond Fund (the "fund") is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Municipal Funds, Inc. (the "Company"), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering five series, including the fund, which commenced operations on September 30, 2005.The fund's investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital. The Dreyfus Corporation (the "Manager" or "Dreyfus") serves as the fund's investment adviser. The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (‘Mellon Financial"). Dreyfus Service Corporation (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund's shares which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

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

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

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities (excluding options and financial futures on municipal and U.S. treasury securities) are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the "Service") approved by the Board of Trustees. 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 securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its

The Fund 21


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. 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 an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

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

22


(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.

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

At August 31, 2006, the accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed tax exempt income $23, undistributed ordinary income $248,949 and unrealized appreciation $2,444,081.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2006, were as follows: tax exempt income $1,723,506.

During the period ended August 31, 2006, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment of amortization adjustments, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $4,498, increased net realized gain (loss) on investments by $4,475 and increased paid-in capital by $23. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The Fund 23


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:

The fund participates with other The Manager-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the "Facility") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of the borrowings.

The average daily amount of borrowings outstanding during the period ended August 31, 2006 was approximately $10,298 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 5.23% .

NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (the "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 contractually agreed, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume certain expenses of the fund, until August 31, 2006, so that fund expenses, excluding taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings, commitment fees and extraordinary expenses, do not exceed an annual rate of 1.10% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets. The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $11,300 during the period ended August 31, 2006.

(b) Under the Service Plan (the "Plan") adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, the fund may pay annually up to .25% of the value of its average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of the fund's shares. During the period ended August 31, 2006, the fund was charged $23,470 pursuant to the Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund.

24


During the period ended August 31, 2006, the fund was charged $6,641 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

The fund compensates Mellon Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Manager, under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. During the period ended August 31, 2006, the fund was charged $5,859 pursuant to the custody agreement.

During the period ended August 31, 2006, the fund was charged $3,995 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $35,251, Rule 12b-1 service plan fees $3,547, chief compliance officer fees $1,895 and transfer agency per account fees $2,200.

(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.

(d) A 2% redemption fee is charged and retained by the fund on certain shares redeemed within thirty days following the date of issuance, subjet to exceptions, including redemptions made through use of the fund's exchange privilege.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended August 31, 2006, amounted to $102,951,712 and $28,407,934, respectively.

At August 31, 2006, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $77,620,538; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $2,444,081, consisting of $2,462,792 gross unrealized appreciation and $18,711 gross unrealized depreciation.

  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
  Shareholders and Board of Directors
Dreyfus High Yield Municipal Bond Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of Dreyfus High Yield Municipal Bond Fund (one of the funds comprising Dreyfus Municipal Funds, Inc.) as of August 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the period from September 30, 2005 (commencement of operations) to August 31, 2006. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit 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 verification by examination of securities held by the custodian as of August 31, 2006 and confirmation of securities not held by the custodian by correspondence with others.We believe that our audit provides 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 High Yield Municipal Bond Fund at August 31, 2006, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from September 30, 2005 to August 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Premier Select Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, covering the 12-month period from September 1, 2005, through August 31, 2006.

After more than two years of steady and gradual increases, on August 8 the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") decided to hold short-term interest rates unchanged at 5.25% . In the announcement of its decision, the Fed indicated that its previous rate hikes and high energy prices have contributed to a mild slowdown in U.S. economic growth. Recent reports of cooling housing markets in many regions of the United States appeared to confirm this view.

Most sectors of the U.S. fixed-income market rallied in the wake of the Fed's announcement, including municipal bonds. Investors apparently are optimistic that higher borrowing costs and moderating home values may wring current inflationary pressures from the economy.At the same time, most states and municipalities have continued to report higher-than-expected tax receipts as a result of the recovering economy, helping to support the credit quality of many municipal bond issuers.As always, we encourage you to talk with your financial advisor about these and other developments to help ensure that your portfolio remains properly diversified and aligned with your current and future investment goals.

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

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

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

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Douglas Gaylor, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier Select Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund perform relative to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2006, the fund produced total returns of 2.68% for Class A shares, 2.18% for Class B shares, 1.93% for Class C shares and 2.87% for Class Z shares.1,2 In comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 7-Year Municipal Bond Index (the "Index"), achieved a total return of 2.52% for the reporting period.3

Despite occasional bouts of market weakness due to inflation-related concerns in a growing U.S. economy, robust investor demand generally helped support municipal bond prices over the reporting period.The fund's Class A shares produced higher returns than the Index, primarily due to our duration management strategy during market rallies.

What is the fund's investment approach?

The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital. In pursuit of this objective, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax.

The dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund's portfolio ranges between three and 10 years.The fund invests at least 65% of its assets in municipal bonds with an A or higher credit rating, or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The remaining 35% of the fund's assets may be invested in municipal bonds with a credit quality lower than A, including high yield (junk) bonds.

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 looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

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 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.

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") raised short-term interest rates over most of the reporting period, increasing the overnight federal funds rate to 5.25% by the end of June 2006. However, intermediate-and longer-term bond yields generally rose less than short-term yields, supporting their prices.Although yield "spreads" widened temporarily in the spring of 2006 when investors became more worried about inflation, the market subsequently rallied as those concerns waned amid evidence of a slowing U.S. economy. In fact, the Fed refrained from raising interest rates at its August meeting, the first in more than two years without a rate hike.

Municipal bonds also benefited from the improved fiscal condition of most states and municipalities. Rising tax revenues resulted in less need to borrow, causing the supply of newly issued bonds to decline compared to the same period one year earlier.Yet, investor demand from individuals and institutions remained robust as investors turned to municipal bonds for competitive levels of federally tax-exempt income, helping to support bond prices.

The fund generally benefited from our duration management strategy. During the first half of the reporting period, we set the fund's average duration in a range we considered to be roughly in line with industry averages, which gave us the flexibility we needed to capture higher yields in the rising interest rate environment without sacrificing significant levels of income. In the spring of 2006, when we determined that the Fed was probably near the end of its tightening campaign, we

extended the fund's average duration toward a range that was slightly longer than its benchmark. This shift helped the fund lock in higher yields for a longer time as the market rallied during the summer.

While the fund received strong contributions to performance from its holdings of tax-exempt zero-coupon bonds, which were purchased at attractive prices during the reporting period and subsequently gained value, some of the fund's more seasoned holdings were redeemed early by their issuers, and we were unable to replace them with securities offering comparable yields in the current market environment.

What is the fund's current strategy?

Because the municipal bond market rallied strongly through the end of the reporting period, we recently have found fewer attractively valued investment opportunities.Therefore, we may begin to adopt a somewhat more defensive posture, including shorter-term investments, until current uncertainty regarding the strength of the U.S. economy and the future of Fed policy becomes clearer.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid and does not take into
consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares or the applicable
contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and Class C
shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Each share class is subject
to a different sales charge and distribution expense structure and will achieve different returns. Past
performance is no 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 to state and local taxes, and some income may be subject to the federal alternative
minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable. Return figures
provided reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to
an undertaking in effect, until such time as it gives shareholders at least 90 days' prior notice, and
which Dreyfus has committed to continue until at least August 31, 2007. Had these expenses
not been absorbed, the fund's returns would have been lower.
2 Class Z is not subject to any initial or deferred sales charge.
3 SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital
gain distributions.The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged
total return performance benchmark for the long-term, investment-grade, tax-exempt bond market.
Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses associated with operating a mutual fund.

FUND PERFORMANCE

Source: Lipper Inc.
Past performance is not predictive of future performance.
The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Class Z shares of Dreyfus Premier Select Intermediate
Municipal Bond Fund on 8/31/96 to a $10,000 investment made in the Lehman Brothers 7-Year Municipal Bond
Index (the "Index") on that date. All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested. Performance for Class A,
Class B and Class C shares will vary from the performance of Class Z shares shown above due to differences in charges
and expenses.
The fund's performance shown in the line graph takes into account all applicable fees and expenses for Class Z shares.
The fund invests primarily in municipal securities and maintains a portfolio with a weighted average maturity ranging
between 3 and 10 years.The Index, unlike the fund, is an unmanaged total return performance benchmark for the
investment-grade, 7-year tax-exempt geographically unrestricted bond market consisting of municipal bonds with maturities
of 6-8 years.The Index does not take into account charges, fees and other expenses which can contribute to the Index
potentially outperforming the fund. Further information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if
applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

The maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% for shares redeemed within one year of the
date of purchase.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

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

Review your fund's expenses

The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus Premier Select Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund from March 1, 2006 to August 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment             
assuming actual returns for the six months ended August 31, 2006         
    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class Z 





Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 3.46    $ 6.05    $ 7.31    $ 2.24 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,018.30    $1,015.80    $1,014.60    $1,019.60 

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 August 31, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class Z 





Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 3.47    $ 6.06    $ 7.32    $ 2.24 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,021.78    $1,019.21    $1,017.95    $1,022.99 

Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of .68% for Class A, 1.19% for Class B, 1.44% for Class C and .44% for Class Z; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier Select Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (the "fund") is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Municipal Funds, Inc. (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 that offers four series, including the fund.The fund's investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of cap-ital.The Dreyfus Corporation (the "Manager" or "Dreyfus") serves as the fund's investment adviser. The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation ("Mellon Financial").

Dreyfus Service Corporation (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund's shares.The fund is authorized to issue 500 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock.The fund currently offers four classes of shares: Class A (100 million shares authorized), Class B (100 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized) and Class Z (200 million shares authorized). Class A shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class Z shares are closed to new investors. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The Fund 29


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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

  • By qualified investors who (i) purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, and (ii) have, or whose spouse or minor children have, beneficially owned shares and continuously maintained an open account directly through the Distributor in a Dreyfus-managed fund, including the fund, or a Founders-managed fund since on or before February 28, 2006.
  • With the cash proceeds from an investor's exercise of employmentrelated stock options, whether invested in the fund directly or indirectly through an exchange from a Dreyfus-managed money market fund, provided that the proceeds are processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relating to processing stock options. Upon establishing the account in the fund or the Dreyfus-managed money market fund, the investor and the investor's spouse and minor children become eligible to purchase Class A shares of the fund at NAV, whether or not using the proceeds of the employment-related stock options.
  • By members of qualified affinity groups who purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, provided that the qualified affinity group has entered into an affinity agreement with the Distributor.

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

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

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

30


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 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.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. 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 an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For

The Fund 31


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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

(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.

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

32


At August 31, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed tax exempt income $113,613, undistributed ordinary income $530,332, accumulated capital losses $136,359 and unrealized appreciation $2,471,962.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to August 31, 2006. If not applied, $34,790 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2012, $96,778 expires in fiscal 2013 and $4,791 expires in fiscal 2014.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended August 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005 were as follows: tax exempt income of $4,744,479 and $4,533,841.

During the period ended August 31, 2006, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for amortization adjustments, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $136,227, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $546,648 and decreased paid-in capital by $410,421. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the "Facility") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the period ended August 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (the "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

The Manager has undertaken, until such time as it gives shareholders at least 90 days' notice to the contrary, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the expenses of the fund so that fund expenses, exclusive of shareholder services plan fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees (as applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares), taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings, commitment fees and extraordinary expenses, do not exceed an annual rate of .45% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets.The Manager has committed to continue this undertaking at least until August 31, 2007.The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $432,846 during the period ended August 31, 2006.

During the period ended August 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $3,732 from commissions earned on sales of the fund's Class A shares and $5,509 and $2,346 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund's Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the "Plan") adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an annual rate of .50% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B shares and .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. During the period ended August 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $8,469 and $38,780, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan applicable to Class Z shares, Class Z shares reimburse the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class Z shares for certain allocated expenses with respect to servicing and/or maintaining Class Z shareholder accounts. The services provided may include personal services relating to Class Z shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended August 31, 2006, Class Z shares were charged $39,256 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

34


Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A, Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B and Class C shares for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended August 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $48,431, $4,234 and $12,927, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended August 31, 2006, the fund was charged $30,368 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

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 April 18, 2006, 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 received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its 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. The Board members also considered that the Manager also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and the Manager's extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructure.

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

The Fund 39


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF T H E
F U N D 's M A N A G E M E N T A G R E E M E N T ( U n a u d i t e d ) (continued)

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

The Board reviewed the results of the Expense Group and Expense Universe comparisons for various periods ended February 28, 2006. The Board reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe, and noted that the fund's contractual management fee was at the Expense Group median and that the fund's actual management fee and total expense ratio (based on Class A shares) were lower than the medians of the Expense Group and Expense Universe.

The Board members also reviewed the reports prepared by Lipper that presented the fund's performance for various periods ended February 28, 2006, and placed significant emphasis on comparisons of yield and total return performance among 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 was selected by Lipper. Because the fund's Class A shares have only a two year performance history, the Board also reviewed performance results for the fund's Class Z shares, which is the fund's oldest share class. The Board noted that the fund generally achieved first and second quintile rankings (the first quintile reflecting the highest performance ranking group) among its Performance Group and Performance Universe on a total return basis for each reported time period up to 10 years. On a yield performance basis, the Board noted that the fund's one-year yield performance ranked in the first and second quintiles among its Performance Group and Performance Universe for the past 10 reported annual periods.

40


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 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 Manager's performance, and 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 extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the

The Fund 41


  INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF T H E
F U N D 's M A N A G E M E N T A G R E E M E N T ( U n a u d i t e d ) (continued)

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. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was within ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered and that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was reasonable given the fund's overall performance and generally superior service levels provided. The Board also noted the Manager's absorption of certain expenses of the fund over the past year 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 continuation of the fund's Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations.

  • The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Manager are adequate and appropriate.
  • The Board was satisfied with the fund's performance.
  • The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, comparative performance and expense and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided, and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with the fund.

42


  • 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 to be deter- mined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

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

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Premier Select Municipal Bond Fund, covering the 12-month period from September 1, 2005, through August 31, 2006.

After more than two years of steady and gradual increases, on August 8 the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") decided to hold short-term interest rates unchanged at 5.25% . In the announcement of its decision, the Fed indicated that its previous rate hikes and high energy prices have contributed to a mild slowdown in U.S. economic growth. Recent reports of cooling housing markets in many regions of the United States appeared to confirm this view.

Most sectors of the U.S. fixed-income market rallied in the wake of the Fed's announcement, including municipal bonds. Investors apparently are optimistic that higher borrowing costs and moderating home values may wring current inflationary pressures from the economy.At the same time, most states and municipalities have continued to report higher-than-expected tax receipts as a result of the recovering economy, helping to support the credit quality of many municipal bond issuers.As always, we encourage you to talk with your financial advisor about these and other developments to help ensure that your portfolio remains properly diversified and aligned with your current and future investment goals.

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

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

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

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Douglas Gaylor, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier Select Municipal Bond Fund perform relative to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2006, the fund produced total returns of 2.92% for Class A shares, 2.34% for Class B shares, 2.08% for Class C shares and 3.11% for Class Z shares.1,2 In comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the "Index"), achieved a total return of 3.03% for the reporting period.3

Despite occasional bouts of market weakness due to inflation-related concerns in a growing U.S. economy, robust investor demand generally helped support municipal bond prices over the reporting period. The fund's returns were generally lower than its benchmark, primarily due to the effect of fund fees and expenses that are not reflected in the benchmark's return.

What is the fund's investment approach?

The fund seeks as high a level 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 income tax.

The dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund's portfolio normally exceeds 10 years, but there are no specific requirements with respect to average portfolio maturity.The fund invests at least 65% of its assets in municipal bonds with an A or higher credit rating, or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The remaining 35% of the fund's assets may be invested in municipal bonds with a credit quality lower than A, including high yield (or junk) bonds.

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

The Fund 3


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically 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 portfolio's allocation to either discount bonds or 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.

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") raised short-term interest rates over most of the reporting period, increasing the overnight federal funds rate to 5.25% by the end of June 2006. However, longer-term bond yields generally rose less than short-term yields, supporting their prices. Although yield "spreads" widened temporarily in the spring of 2006 when investors became more worried about inflation, the market subsequently rallied as those concerns waned amid evidence of a slowing U.S. economy. In fact, the Fed refrained from raising interest rates at its August meeting, the first in more than two years without a rate hike.

Municipal bonds also benefited from the improved fiscal condition of most states and municipalities. Rising tax revenues resulted in less need to borrow, causing the supply of newly issued bonds to decline compared to the same period one year earlier.Yet, investor demand from individuals and institutions remained robust as investors turned to municipal bonds for competitive levels of federally tax-exempt income, helping to support bond prices.

We attempted to boost the fund's income stream during the reporting period by selling bonds that we believed were overvalued and replacing them with securities that, in our judgment, offered better income characteristics. In addition, the fund benefited from our duration management strategy. During the first half of the reporting period, we set the fund's average duration in a range we considered slightly shorter

4


than average in order to capture higher yields more quickly in the rising interest rate environment. In the spring of 2006, when we determined that the Fed was probably near the end of its tightening campaign, we extended the fund's average duration toward a range that was roughly in line with its benchmark.This shift helped the fund lock in higher yields for a slightly longer time as the market rallied during the summer. Finally, the fund received particularly strong contributions to performance from its holdings of tax-exempt zero-coupon bonds, which were purchased at attractive prices during the reporting period and subsequently gained value.

What is the fund's current strategy?

Because the municipal bond market rallied strongly through the end of the reporting period, we recently have found fewer attractively valued investment opportunities.Therefore, we may begin to adopt a somewhat more defensive posture, including shorter-term investments, until current uncertainty regarding the strength of the U.S. economy and the future of Fed policy becomes clearer.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid and does not take into
consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares or the applicable
contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and Class C
shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Each share class is subject
to a different sales charge and distribution expense structure and will achieve different returns. Past
performance is no 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 to state and local taxes, and some income may be subject to the federal alternative
minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable. Return figures
provided reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to
an undertaking in effect, until such time as it gives shareholders at least 90 days' prior notice, and
which Dreyfus has committed to continue until at least August 31, 2007. Had these expenses
not been absorbed, the fund's returns would have been lower.
2 Class Z is not subject to any initial or deferred sales charge.

gain distributions.The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged
total return performance benchmark for the long-term, investment-grade, tax-exempt bond market.

FUND PERFORMANCE

  Source: Lipper Inc.
Past performance is not predictive of future performance.
The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Class Z shares of Dreyfus Premier Select Municipal Bond
Fund on 8/31/96 to a $10,000 investment made in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the "Index") on
that date.All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested. Performance for Class A, Class B and Class C
shares will vary from the performance of Class Z shares shown above due to differences in charges and expenses.
The fund's performance shown in the line graph takes into account all applicable fees and expenses for Class Z shares.
The fund invests primarily in municipal securities and its performance shown in the line graph takes into account fees and
expenses.The Index, unlike the fund, is an unmanaged total return performance benchmark for the long-term, investment-
grade, tax-exempt bond market, calculated by using municipal bonds selected to be representative of the municipal
market overall.The Index does not take into account charges, fees and other expenses which can contribute to the Index
potentially outperforming the fund. Further information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if
applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

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

Review your fund's expenses

The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus Premier Select Municipal Bond Fund from March 1, 2006 to August 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment             
assuming actual returns for the six months ended August 31, 2006         
    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class Z 





Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 3.51    $ 6.05    $ 7.31    $ 2.24 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,018.50    $1,016.00    $1,014.70    $1,019.80 

  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 August 31, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class Z 





Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 3.52    $ 6.06    $ 7.32    $ 2.24 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,021.73    $1,019.21    $1,017.95    $1,022.99 

Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of .69% for Class A, 1.19% for Class B, 1.44% for Class C and .44% for Class Z; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier Select Municipal Bond Fund (the "fund") is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Municipal Funds, Inc. (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 that offers five series, including the fund. The fund's investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.The Dreyfus Corporation ("Manager" or "Dreyfus") serves as the fund's investment adviser.The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation ("Mellon Financial").

Dreyfus Service Corporation (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund's shares.The fund is authorized to issue 500 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock.The fund currently offers four classes of shares: Class A (100 million shares authorized), Class B (100 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized) and Class Z (200 million shares authorized). Class A shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class Z shares are closed to new investors. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

30


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

  • By qualified investors who (i) purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, and (ii) have, or whose spouse or minor children have, beneficially owned shares and continuously maintained an open account directly through the Distributor in a Dreyfus-managed fund, including the fund, or a Founders-managed fund since on or before February 28, 2006.
  • With the cash proceeds from an investor's exercise of employmentrelated stock options, whether invested in the fund directly or indirectly through an exchange from a Dreyfus-managed money market fund, provided that the proceeds are processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relating to processing stock options. Upon establishing the account in the fund or the Dreyfus-managed money market fund, the investor and the investor's spouse and minor children become eligible to purchase Class A shares of the fund at NAV, whether or not using the proceeds of the employment-related stock options.
  • By members of qualified affinity groups who purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, provided that the qualified affinity group has entered into an affinity agreement with the Distributor.

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

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

The Fund 31


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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

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

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities (excluding options and financial futures on municipal and U.S. treasury 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 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.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. 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.

32


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

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

(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.

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is

The Fund 33


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

At August 31, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed tax exempt income $105,219, accumulated capital losses $2,698,611 and unrealized appreciation $6,575,217.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to August 31, 2006. If not applied, $671,146 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2008, $746,743 expires in fiscal 2009, $1,278,066 expires in fiscal 2010 and $2,656 expires in fiscal 2013.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended August 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005 were as follows: tax exempt income of $8,648,925 and $8,929,127 and ordinary income $0 and $180,345 respectively.

During the period ended August 31,2006,as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment of amortization adjustments, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $12,094, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $62,095 and decreased paid-in capital by $50,001. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the "Facility") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of the borrowings. During the period ended August 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

34


NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (the "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 has undertaken, until such time as it gives shareholders at least 90 days' notice to the contrary, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the expenses of the fund so that fund expenses, exclusive of shareholder services plan fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees, (as applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares), taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings, commitment fees and extraordinary expenses, do not exceed an annual rate of .45% of the value of the fund's average daily net assets.The Manager has committed to continue this undertaking at least until August 31, 2007.The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $642,407 during the period ended August 31, 2006.

During the period ended August 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $1,094 from commissions earned on sales of the fund's Class A shares, and $831 and $365 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund's Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the "Plan") adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an annual rate of .50% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B shares and .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. During the period ended August 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $2,684 and $4,891, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan applicable to Class Z shares, Class Z shares reimburse the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class Z shares for certain allocated expenses with respect to servicing and/or maintaining Class Z shareholder accounts. The services provided may

include personal services relating to Class Z shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of Class Z shareholder accounts. During the period ended August 31, 2006, Class Z shares were charged $100,991 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended August 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $8,838, $1,342 and $1,630 respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the portfolio. During the period ended August 31, 2006, the fund was charged $39,890 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

  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 April 18, 2006, 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 received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its 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. The Board members also considered that the Manager also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and the Manager's extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructure.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund's Management Fee, Expense Ratio, and Performance. The Board members reviewed reports prepared by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, which included information comparing the fund's management fee and expense ratio with a group of comparable funds (the "Expense Group")

40


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

The Board reviewed the results of the Expense Group and Expense Universe comparisons for various periods ended February 28, 2006. The Board reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe, and noted that the fund's contractual management fee was above the Expense Group median but that the fund's actual management fee and total expense ratio (based on Class A shares) were in the first quintiles (the first quintile reflecting the ranking group with the lowest fees and expense ratios) within the Expense Group and Expense Universe.

The Board members also reviewed the reports prepared by Lipper that presented the fund's performance for various periods ended February 28, 2006, and placed significant emphasis on comparisons of yield and total return performance among 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 was selected by Lipper. Because the fund's Class A shares have only a two year performance history, the Board also reviewed performance results for the fund's Class Z shares, which is the fund's oldest share class. The Board noted that the fund generally achieved first and second quintile rankings (the first quintile reflecting the highest performance ranking group) among its Performance Group and Performance Universe on a total return basis for each reported time period up to 10 years. On a yield performance basis, the Board noted that the fund's one-year yield performance was variously above and below median for the Performance Group and Performance Universe for the past 10 reported annual periods.

The Fund 41


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF

THE FUND'S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

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 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 Manager's performance, and 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 decline in fund assets 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

42


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 ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered and that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was reasonable given the fund's overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.The Board also noted the Manager's absorption of certain expenses of the fund over the past year 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 continuation of the fund's Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations.

  • The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Manager are adequate and appropriate.
  • The Board was satisfied with the fund's performance.
  • The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, comparative performance and expense and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided, and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with the fund.

The Fund 43


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