A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus BASIC Municipal Money Market Fund, covering the six-month period from September 1, 2006, through February 28, 2007.

The reporting period proved to be a good time for the financial markets, as market rallies helped stocks and bonds achieve positive absolute returns. A number of factors contributed to the markets’ gains, including a more moderate economic expansion, strong business conditions, subdued inflation, stabilizing interest rates and robust investor demand for most asset classes.Although short-term interest rates remained stable over the course of the reporting period,tax-exempt money market instruments continued to provide attractive yields in the wake of the Federal Reserve’s run of 17 consecutive rate hikes between June 2004 and June 2006.

In our analysis, the reporting period provided an excellent reminder of the need for a long-term investment perspective. Adopting too short a time frame has proved costly for some investors recently, as reducing allocations to stocks and bonds generally meant missing rallies. Indeed, history shows that reacting to near-term developments with extreme shifts in strategy rarely is the right decision. We believe that a better course is to set a portfolio mix to meet future goals while working through short-term market volatility and limiting income tax liabilities. Tax-exempt money market funds have continued to play an important role in that mix, providing preservation of capital and relatively high taxable-equivalent yields.As always, we encourage you to talk with your finanical advisor to help ensure that your portfolio remains aligned with your current financial needs and future investment goals.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Colleen Meehan, Senior Portfolio Manager

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

For the six-month period ended February 28, 2007, the fund produced an annualized yield of 3.22% .Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund produced an annualized effective yield of 3.26% .1

Yields of tax-exempt money market securities stabilized along with short-term interest rates during the reporting period as economic growth moderated and inflationary pressures diminished.

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

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

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?

In the months leading up to the start of the reporting period, the U.S. economy was growing robustly, inflationary pressures were intensifying and the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) continued to raise short-term interest rates. However, these conditions changed significantly when the U.S. housing market softened and energy prices fell, helping to relieve investors’ inflation concerns.

The Fed lent credence to a more moderate inflation outlook when it refrained from raising interest rates during the reporting period, citing the likelihood that slower economic growth would reduce inflationary pressures. Some investors even began to anticipate that the Fed might reduce short-term interest rates sometime in 2007. However, the U.S. Department of Commerce later estimated that the U.S. economy had grown at a 2.2% annualized rate in the fourth quarter of 2006, and inflation came in at a relatively moderate 2.5% rate for 2006 overall.The combination of moderate economic growth and subdued inflation delayed expectations of a change in Fed policy.

Although yields of tax-exempt money market securities stabilized along with interest rates, yields of longer-dated instruments declined, leaving little difference in the yields of securities with maturities between six months and four years. Investors therefore continued to focus on tax-exempt instruments maturing in six months or less.

Technical factors put downward pressure on tax-exempt money market yields. The growing U.S. economy reduced the borrowing needs of several states and municipalities, and some issuers revised their

borrowing programs to rely more heavily on short-term variable-rate demand notes. Even as the supply of one-year municipal notes declined, investor demand remained strong as evidenced by an increase in money market fund assets to record levels.

In this environment, we generally maintained the fund’s weighted average maturity in a range we considered to be roughly in line with industry averages. Whenever possible, we attempted to maintain the fund’s yield by limiting its exposure to variable-rate instruments, on which yields are reset daily or weekly. Instead, we found opportunities in tax-exempt commercial paper and seasoned municipal notes and bonds.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

As of the end of the reporting period, the fund’s weighted average maturity was slightly longer than industry averages, due in part to our focus on commercial paper. In addition, the fund’s weighted average maturity reflected our attempts to maintain competitive yields over the winter months, when a dearth of new issuance tends to put downward pressure on yields. Many of the fund’s holdings mature in April and May, a strategy designed to make cash available for new purchases at a time when selling pressure caused by income tax payments generally causes yields to rise.

    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    Annualized 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 at least until August 31, 2007. 
    Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s annualized yield would have been 3.07% and 
    the fund’s annualized effective yield would have been 3.12%.

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

Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 2.26 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,022.56 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .45%, multiplied by the average account value over the 
period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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 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 to the public without a sales charge.

On December 4, 2006, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement to merge. The new company will be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. As part of this transaction, Dreyfus would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and the approval of The Bank of New York Company, Inc.’s and Mellon Financial’s shareholders, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. expect the transaction to be completed in the third quarter of 2007.

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.

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.

On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(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

24


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 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. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The Fund 25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $6,337 available for federal income tax purposes 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 year ended August 31, 2006 were all tax exempt income.The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

At February 28, 2007, 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 $260,061 during the period ended February 28, 2007.

(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

26


regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended February 28, 2007, the fund was charged $67,021 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 February 28, 2007, the fund was charged $14,348 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended February 28, 2007, the fund was charged $2,044 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 $123,158, chief compliance officer fees $2,726 and transfer agency per account fees $4,800, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $35,522.

(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.

A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus BASIC New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund, covering the six-month period from September 1, 2006, through February 28, 2007.

The reporting period proved to be a good time for the financial markets, as market rallies helped stocks and bonds achieve positive absolute returns. A number of factors contributed to the markets’ gains, including a more moderate economic expansion, strong business conditions, subdued inflation, stabilizing interest rates and robust investor demand for most asset classes.Although short-term interest rates remained stable over the course of the reporting period, tax-exempt money market instruments continued to provide attractive yields in the wake of the Federal Reserve’s run of 17 consecutive rate hikes between June 2004 and June 2006.

In our analysis, the reporting period provided an excellent reminder of the need for a long-term investment perspective. Adopting too short a time frame has proved costly for some investors recently, as reducing allocations to stocks and bonds generally meant missing rallies. Indeed, history shows that reacting to near-term developments with extreme shifts in strategy rarely is the right decision. We believe that a better course is to set a portfolio mix to meet future goals while working through short-term market volatility and limiting income tax liabilities. Tax-exempt money market funds have continued to play an important role in that mix, providing preservation of capital and relatively high taxable-equivalent yields.As always, we encourage you to talk with your finanical advisor to help ensure that your portfolio remains aligned with your current financial needs and future investment goals.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Joseph Irace, Portfolio Manager

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

For the six-month period ended February 28, 2007, the fund produced an annualized yield of 3.21% . Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund also produced an annualized effective yield of 3.25% .1

Yields of tax-exempt money market securities stabilized along with short-term interest rates during the reporting period as economic growth moderated and inflationary pressures diminished.

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 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 reporting period stood in stark contrast to the six months that preceded it. In the months leading up to the start of the reporting period, the U.S. economy was growing robustly, inflationary pressures were intensifying and the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) continued to raise short-term interest rates in the tightening campaign that began in June 2004.These conditions changed significantly during the reporting period, when weakness in the housing and automotive sectors caused the rate of economic growth to moderate. At the same time, energy prices retreated from the record highs established during the summer of 2006, helping to relieve inflationary pressures. The Fed responded to these developments by refraining from further rate hikes as it evaluated the impact of its previous policy moves on the economy and inflation. As a result, tax-exempt money market yields generally stabilized, particularly at the shorter end of the market’s maturity range.

Although the growing U.S. economy has benefited New Jersey along with most other states, the Garden State continues to face fiscal challenges. Projected proceeds from last year’s increase in the state sales tax are unlikely to bridge future budget gaps caused by the rising costs of employee benefits, pensions, school aid and debt service. In his proposed budget for the 2008 fiscal year, Governor Corzine has suggested bridging the gap by selling or leasing state assets. Meanwhile, a relatively ample supply of municipal money market instruments was readily absorbed by rising investor demand during the reporting period.

As inflation-related concerns ebbed, yields of longer-term municipal securities fell while those of shorter-dated municipal money market

4


securities remained stable.This left little difference in the yields of tax-exempt securities with maturities between six months and four years. In this environment, we generally maintained the fund’s weighted average maturity in a range we considered to be slightly longer than industry averages. We found opportunities for relatively attractive yields from smaller blocks of notes from New Jersey municipalities and school districts.As of the end of the reporting period, the fund’s holdings were “laddered” to mature in stages out to one year.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?

Recent Fed comments, mixed economic data and signs of subdued inflation suggest to us that the Fed is unlikely either to raise or lower short-term interest rates over the foreseeable future. While we have maintained the fund’s slightly longer-than-average duration position, we may lengthen its weighted average maturity further to take advantage of seasonal opportunities for higher yields that usually arise around the time income tax payments come due.

    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 which Dreyfus has committed 
    to continue until at least August 31, 2007. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s 
    annualized yield would have been 3.02% and the fund’s annualized effective yield would have 
    been 3.07%.

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.

On December 4, 2006, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement to merge. The new company will be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. As part of this transaction, Dreyfus would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and the approval of The Bank of New York Company, Inc.’s and Mellon Financial’s shareholders, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. expect the transaction to be completed in the third quarter of 2007.

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.

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

20


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.

On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value mea-surements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(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

The Fund 21


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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.

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.

On July 13, 2006, the 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

22


open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 were all tax exempt income.The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

At February 28, 2007, 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 $107,828 during the period ended February 28, 2007.

(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.

The Fund 23


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

During the period ended February 28, 2007 the fund was charged $24,925 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 February 28, 2007, the fund was charged $4,413 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended February 28, 2007, the fund was charged $2,044 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 $42,393, chief compliance officer fees $2,726 and transfer agency per account fees $1,430, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $16,659.

(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.

A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Premier High Yield Municipal Bond Fund, covering the six-month period from September 1, 2006, through February 28, 2007.

Despite a bout of weakness in January 2007, municipal bonds fared relatively well over the course of your fund’s reporting period. Municipal bond prices generally were propelled higher by stabilized short-term interest rates, moderating inflationary pressures and robust demand for tax-exempt securities from non-traditional investors, such as leveraged structured trading accounts and hedge funds.

The U.S. economy has shown signs of a gradual and orderly slowdown, but few analysts currently believe we are headed for a full-blown recession. Over the long term, productivity has increased as modern technologies and efficient business practices helped to limit cyclical inflation pressures around the world. Of more immediate note, a warm winter in the United States and rapidly declining energy prices have mitigated the risks that weakness in the U.S. housing sector might derail business and consumer confidence. As always, your financial consultant can help you identify the investments that may be most likely to help you profit from these trends while managing your income tax liabilities.

For information about the fund’s name change, 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 Premier High Yield Municipal Bond Fund perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended February 28, 2007, the fund produced a 4.80% total return.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, produced a 2.89% total return for the same period.2

High yield municipal bonds continued to benefit during the reporting period from a growing U.S. economy, generally strong business conditions in most industries, robust investor demand for current income and low default rates among high yield issuers.The fund produced a higher return than that of its benchmark, primarily due to the success of our credit research and selection process in tandem with the strong performance of high yield municipals when compared to high-grade municipals.

After the reporting period ended, on March 15, 2007, the fund was renamed Dreyfus Premier High Yield Municipal Bond Fund, and began offering additional classes of shares, Class A and Class C. Outstanding shares were re-classified as Class Z shares and subsequently closed to new investment accounts. The fund’s investment objectives and strategies are unchanged.

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.3 Municipal bonds rated below investment grade (BB/Ba or lower) are commonly known as “high yield” or

The Fund 3


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

“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 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?

Although the rate of U.S. economic growth began to moderate over the reporting period, the slowdown proved to be relatively mild, leading many analysts to conclude that a full-blown recession is unlikely. At the same time, falling energy prices helped to relieve inflation concerns, and weakness in the automobile and housing sectors did not appear to spread to other industry groups, supporting business conditions and corporate earnings growth for many U.S. companies.

In this favorable economic climate, investors seeking high levels of current income continued to tolerate the risks that lower-rated investments typically entail, and demand for high yield securities remained robust. In fact, a disproportionate share of new money flowing into municipal bond funds was invested in vehicles that focus on lower-rated and unrated securities. These factors caused yield differences between high yield bonds and comparable U.S.Treasury securities to continue to narrow, and high yield bond prices rose.

Despite the market’s apparent enthusiasm for lower-rated municipal bonds, we continued to conduct extensive in-house research into the

4


high yield issuers we considered for investment. Our credit research process attempts to identify income-oriented opportunities from issuers that we determine to have sound credit profiles, including strengths that may not be reflected in the ratings assigned by the major bond-rating agencies.We found a number of such opportunities across a wide array of market sectors, including the education, health care and project finance areas. We also found attractive investment candidates among higher-quality housing-related bonds backed by U.S. government agencies, such as Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae, which qualify for tax-exempt status. Conversely, we found relatively few opportunities meeting our criteria from housing-related issuers in regions that were relatively hard-hit by falling real estate values, including certain markets in California and Florida.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Although the high yield municipal bond market encountered some volatility near the end of the reporting period, it was less severe than the turbulence affecting the equity and taxable high yield bond markets. Nonetheless, we are hopeful that any further bouts of heightened volatility may present opportunities to purchase income-oriented credits at relatively attractive prices. In addition, as of the end of the reporting period, the fund’s average credit rating stood at the borderline between high yield and investment grade.

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 High Yield Municipal Bond Fund from September 1, 2006 to February 28, 2007. 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 February 28, 2007 

Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 6.31 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,018.55 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.26%, multiplied by the average account value over the 
period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect actual days since inception).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier 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.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.

On January 29, 2007, the Board of Directors approved, effective March 15, 2007, a change of the fund’s name from “Dreyfus High Yield Municipal Bond Fund” to “Dreyfus Premier High Yield Municipal Bond Fund.” Existing shares were redesignated as Class Z shares and the fund began offering Class A and Class C shares. Class Z shares will be closed to new investors.

On December 4, 2006, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement to merge. The new company will be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. As part of this transaction, Dreyfus would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and the approval of The Bank of New York Company, Inc.’s and Mellon Financial’s shareholders, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. expect the transaction to be completed in the third quarter of 2007.

The Fund 21


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (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 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 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.

On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

22


Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(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.

(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 23


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

On July 13, 2006, the 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. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 were as follows: tax exempt income $1,723,506.The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

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. During the period ended February 28, 2007, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

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.

24


(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 February 28, 2007, the fund was charged $111,807 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. During the period ended February 28, 2007, the fund was charged $13,458 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 February 28, 2007, the fund was charged $4,385 pursuant to the custody agreement.

During the period ended February 28, 2007, the fund was charged $2,044 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 $56,798, chief compliance officer fees $2,726 and transfer agency per account fees $3,800.

(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 subject to exceptions, including redemptions made through use of the fund’s exchange privilege.

The Fund 25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended February 28, 2007, amounted to $61,339,636 and $18,284,578, respectively.

At February 28, 2007, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $4,435,043, consisting of $4,489,311 gross unrealized appreciation and $54,268 gross unrealized depreciation.

At February 28, 2007, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see Statement of Investment).

NOTE 5—Restatement:

Subsequent to the issuance of the August 31, 2006 financial statements, the fund determined that the transfers of certain tax-exempt municipal bond securities by the fund to special purpose bond trusts in connection with participation in inverse floater structures do not qualify for sale treatment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, and should have been accounted for as a secured borrowing.

The correction of the above item resulted in the restatement of the ratio of total and net expenses of the financial highlights table as shown below:

Ratio of Total Expenses    2006 


As previously reported    1.06% 
As restated    1.24% 
Ratio of Net Expenses    2006 


As previously reported    1.00% 
As restated    1.18% 

26


This restatement has no impact on the fund’s previously reported net assets, net investment income, net asset value per share or total return.

In addition, the statement of changes in net assets was restated as follows:

    2006    2006

A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We present to you the last report for Dreyfus Premier Select Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, covering the six-month period from September 1, 2006, through February 28, 2007.

Despite a bout of weakness in January 2007, municipal bonds fared relatively well over the course of your fund’s reporting period. Municipal bond prices generally were propelled higher by stabilized short-term interest rates, moderating inflationary pressures and robust demand for tax-exempt securities from non-traditional investors, such as leveraged structured trading accounts and hedge funds.

The U.S. economy has shown signs of a gradual and orderly slowdown, but few analysts currently believe we are headed for a full-blown recession. Over the long term, productivity has increased as modern technologies and efficient business practices helped to limit cyclical inflation pressures around the world. Of more immediate note, a warm winter in the United States and rapidly declining energy prices have mitigated the risks that weakness in the U.S. housing sector might derail business and consumer confidence. As always, your financial consultant can help you identify the investments that may be most likely to help you profit from these trends while managing your income tax liabilities.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Douglas Gaylor, Portfolio Manager

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

For the six-month period ended February 28, 2007, the fund produced total returns of 2.35% for Class A shares, 2.10% for Class B shares, 1.96% for Class C shares and 2.55% for Class Z shares.1,2 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 7-Year Municipal Bond Index, achieved a total return of 2.17% for the reporting period.3

Municipal bonds fared relatively well during the reporting period as moderating economic growth, stabilizing short-term interest rates and receding inflation concerns helped to support investor sentiment in most fixed-income market sectors. The fund’s Class A and Class Z shares produced higher returns than its benchmark, primarily due to our focus on securities with maturities toward the longer end of the market’s range.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

On March 20, 2007, the fund completed a Plan of Reorganization, following the recommendation of the Board of Directors and the subsequent approval by shareholders,which provided for the tax-free exchange of the fund’s assets in exchange for shares of Dreyfus Premier Select Municipal Bond Fund.The fund has since terminated its operations.

March 21, 2007

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

The Fund 3


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

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 7-Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged total return performance benchmark for the investment-grade, geographically unrestricted, 7-year, tax-exempt bond market, consisting of municipal bonds with maturities of 6-8 years. Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses associated with operating a mutual fund.

U N D E R S TA N D I N G YO U R F U N D ’ S E X P E N S E S ( U n a u d i t e d )

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 September 1, 2006 to February 28, 2007. 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 February 28, 2007 

    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class Z 





Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 3.41    $ 5.91    $ 7.16    $ 2.21 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,023.50    $1,021.00    $1,019.60    $1,025.60 

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 February 28, 2007 

    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class Z 





Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 3.41    $ 5.91    $ 7.15    $ 2.21 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,021.42    $1,018.94    $1,017.70    $1,022.61 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .68% for Class A, 1.18% for Class B, 1.43% for 
Class C and .44% for Class Z; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to 
reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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 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”).

On December 4, 2006, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement to merge. The new company will be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. As part of this transaction, Dreyfus would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and the approval of The Bank of New York Company, Inc.’s and Mellon Financial’s shareholders, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. expect the transaction to be completed in the third quarter of 2007.

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.

The Fund 25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The fund will no longer offer Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares. 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 Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

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

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

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued 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

26


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.

On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(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 to not distribute such gain.

The Fund 27


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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 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. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $136,359 available for federal income tax purposes 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 year ended August 31, 2006 were as follows: tax exempt income $4,744,479. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Premier Select Municipal Bond Fund, covering the six-month period from September 1, 2006, through February 28, 2007.

Despite a bout of weakness in January 2007, municipal bonds fared relatively well over the course of your fund’s reporting period. Municipal bond prices generally were propelled higher by stabilized short-term interest rates, moderating inflationary pressures and robust demand for tax-exempt securities from non-traditional investors, such as leveraged structured trading accounts and hedge funds.

The U.S. economy has shown signs of a gradual and orderly slowdown, but few analysts currently believe we are headed for a full-blown recession. Over the long term, productivity has increased as modern technologies and efficient business practices helped to limit cyclical inflation pressures around the world. Of more immediate note, a warm winter in the United States and rapidly declining energy prices have mitigated the risks that weakness in the U.S. housing sector might derail business and consumer confidence.As always, your financial consultant can help you identify the investments that may be most likely to help you profit from these trends while managing your income tax liabilities.

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.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Douglas Gaylor, Portfolio Manager

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

For the six-month period ended February 28, 2007, the fund produced total returns of 2.69% for Class A shares, 2.43% for Class B shares, 2.30% for Class C shares and 2.88% 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 2.89% for the reporting period.3

Municipal bonds fared relatively well during the reporting period as moderating economic growth, stabilizing short-term interest rates and receding inflation concerns helped to support investor sentiment in most fixed-income market sectors.The fund’s Class Z shares produced a return that was in line with the fund’s benchmark, primarily due to our focus on securities with maturities toward the longer end of the market’s range.

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.4 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 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 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 reporting period stood in stark contrast to the six months that preceded it. In the months leading up to the start of the reporting period, the U.S. economy was growing robustly, inflationary pressures were intensifying and the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) continued to raise short-term interest rates in the tightening campaign that began in June 2004.These conditions changed significantly during the reporting period, when weakness in the housing and automotive sectors caused the rate of economic growth to moderate. At the same time, energy prices retreated from the record highs established during the summer of 2006, helping to relieve inflationary pressures.The Fed responded to these developments by refraining from further rate hikes throughout the reporting period.

The municipal bond market also was supported by supply-and-demand influences, including robust demand for long-term securities from non-traditional investors such as hedge funds and highly leveraged institutional accounts. High levels of investor demand readily absorbed the available supply of newly issued bonds, including a surge of new issuance toward the end of 2006.

As short-term interest rates stabilized and inflation concerns diminished, longer-term bond yields began to fall, resulting in particularly strong performance among longer-term municipal bonds and produc-

ing narrower yield differences along the municipal bond market’s maturity range.We reduced the fund’s exposure to shorter-term securities and increased its holdings of longer-term bonds, enabling the fund to participate more fully in the rally at the long end of the yield curve. In addition, newly purchased securities featured longer call dates than the bonds they replaced, further boosting the fund’s sensitivity to declining long-term bond yields.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

After the reporting period, two other Dreyfus funds transferred their assets to the fund, in a tax-free exchange for shares of the fund. We have increased the fund’s focus on income-oriented bonds with maturities in the 20- to 30-year range in an attempt to complement intermediate-term securities that became part of the fund’s portfolio as a result of the asset transfers. In addition, we believe that a focus on longer-term securities remains an appropriate strategy given our expectation that the Fed is likely to remain on hold over the foreseeable future as it continues to evaluate the impact of its previous rate hikes on the economy and inflation.

    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.

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 September 1, 2006 to February 28, 2007. 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 February 28, 2007 

    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class Z 





Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 3.47    $ 5.97    $ 7.22    $ 2.21 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,026.90    $1,024.30    $1,023.00    $1,028.80 

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 February 28, 2007 

    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class Z 





Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 3.46    $ 5.96    $ 7.20    $ 2.21 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,021.37    $1,018.89    $1,017.65    $1,022.61 

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 181/365 (to 
reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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”).

On December 4, 2006, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement to merge. The new company will be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. As part of this transaction, Dreyfus would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and the approval of The Bank of New York Company, Inc.’s and Mellon Financial’s shareholders, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. expect the transaction to be completed in the third quarter of 2007.

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

28


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 will no longer offer Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

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

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

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

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities (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

The Fund 29


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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.

On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(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

30


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 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 does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statement of the fund.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $2,698,611 available for federal income tax purposes 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, and $746,743 expires in fiscal 2009 and $1,278,066 expires in fiscal 2010 and $2,656 expires in fiscal 2013.

The Fund 31


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 were as follows: tax exempt income $8,648,925.The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

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 February 28, 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 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 $310,833 during the period ended February 28, 2007.

During the period ended February 28, 2007, the Distributor retained $463 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares, and $155 from contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of the fund’s Class B shares, respectively.

32


(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 February 28, 2007, Class B and Class C shares were charged $1,118 and $2,291, 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 February 28, 2007, Class Z shares were charged $44,453 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

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 February 28, 2007, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $9,805, $559 and $764 respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

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

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
