LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
This annual report for Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Money Market Fund covers the 12-month period ended March 31, 2010. During the reporting period, the fund’s Prime shares produced a yield of 0.33%, and its Reserve shares produced a yield of 0.28%.Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund’s Prime and Reserve shares also produced effective yields of 0.33% and 0.28%, respectively, for the same period.1
Despite Recovery, Monetary Policy Remained Unchanged
The reporting period began in the immediate wake of a global financial crisis and severe recession. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) already had pumped liquidity into the banking system and eased monetary policy aggressively, driving the overnight federal funds rate to an unprecedented low range between 0% and 0.25%.The Fed maintained this accommodative policy stance throughout the reporting period, and money market yields remained near historical lows.
In addition to the Fed’s efforts, the U.S. government responded to the downturn with a number of its own measures, including the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds, which was designed to promote liquidity in the commercial paper market. This program remained in effect through September 18, 2009.
Longer-term financial markets hit multi-year lows in the weeks before the reporting period began, but investor sentiment soon began to improve when evidence emerged that credit markets were mending. The U.S. economy contracted at a –0.7% annualized rate between April and June 2009, a much milder decline than the previous quarter.
Residential construction improved in July, and August saw the first expansion of manufacturing activity in more than 18 months. Consumer spending increased in August by the largest margin in more than seven years, due in part to the U.S. government’s Cash for Clunkers automobile purchasing program. In September, pending home sales reached their highest level since March 2007.
2
Positive news in October included a return to growth for the U.S. economy, with U.S. GDP expanding at a 2.2% annualized rate in the third quarter, its first quarterly gain in more than a year. However, the unemployment rate climbed to 10.2% in October, its highest level since the early 1980s. November marked the fourth straight month of expanding manufacturing activity and moderating foreclosure rates. The unemployment rate declined to 10%, and monthly job losses moderated in December to 85,000.
Early 2010 brought more encouraging news, including the announcement that U.S. GDP grew at a 5.6% annualized rate during the fourth quarter of 2009. Although inventory rebuilding accounted for more than half of that gain, economists were encouraged in January by a better-than-expected improvement in retail sales. In addition, the unemployment rate fell to 9.7%, and job losses continued to moderate in January and February.
Manufacturing activity rose for the eighth straight month in March, and it did so at the fastest rate in almost six years.The employment situation improved, as 162,000 new jobs were created during the month while the unemployment rate held steady at 9.7%. However, 48,000 of those jobs were temporary ones as the government hired workers to conduct the 2010 Census. In addition, the housing market continued to struggle, with existing home sales sliding –0.6% compared to the previous month.
Finally, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) proposed new regulations governing money market funds. According to the SEC, the “new rules are intended to increase the resilience of money market funds to economic stresses and reduce the risks of runs on the funds by tightening the maturity and credit quality standards and imposing new liquidity requirements.”These new regulations had little impact on the fund’s operations, as it historically has been managed more conservatively than government regulations require.
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (continued)
An Unwavering Focus on Quality
With few opportunities available for significant levels of current income, most money market funds continued to maintain defensive investment postures, resulting in an industry-wide weighted maturity that is substantially shorter than historical averages. The fund also maintained a defensive footing, with a weighted average maturity that remained roughly in line with industry averages for most of the reporting period. As always, we focused exclusively on money market instruments meeting stringent credit-quality criteria.
Amid continued signs of economic improvement, some analysts have begun to anticipate higher short-term interest rates. However, the Fed again stated at its mid-March meeting that economic conditions “are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period.” On the other hand, policymakers’ concerns regarding the fragility of the credit markets seem to have eased, as the Fed discontinued purchases of U.S. government agency debentures and mortgage-backed securities at the end of the month. Still, until we see more convincing signs that the Fed is prepared to raise interest rates, we intend to maintain the fund’s focus on credit quality and liquidity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Money Market Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Money Market Funds (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company currently offering two series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.
MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest. The fund currently offers two classes of shares: Prime shares and Reserve shares. Prime shares and Reserve shares are identical except for the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so.There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) has been the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.The fund’s financial state-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
ments are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the Board of Trustees to represent the fair value of the fund’s investments.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
16
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:
| |
| Short-Term |
Valuation Inputs | Investments ($)† |
Level 1—Unadjusted Quoted Prices | — |
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs | 10,139,308,635 |
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs | — |
Total | 10,139,308,635 |
| |
† | See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations. |
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Cost of investment represents amortized cost.
The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Manager, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the fund’s agreement to resell such securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with the fund’s custodian and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the terms of the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the fund maintains its right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.
(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.
(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended March 31, 2010, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended March 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At March 31, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
The accumulated capital loss carryover of $374,133 is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to March 31, 2010. If not applied, $328,374 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2013 and $45,759 expires in fiscal 2017.
18
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 were all ordinary income.
At March 31, 2010, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).
(e) Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program: The fund entered into a Guarantee Agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) to participate in the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”).
Under the Program, the Treasury guaranteed the share price of shares of the fund held by shareholders as of September 19, 2008 at $1.00 per share if the fund’s net asset value per share fell below $0.995 (a “Guarantee Event”) and the fund liquidated. Recovery under the Program was subject to certain conditions and limitations.
Fund shares acquired by investors after September 19, 2008 that increased the number of fund shares the investor held at the close of business on September 19, 2008 were not eligible for protection under the Program. In addition, fund shares acquired by investors who did not hold fund shares at the close of business on September 19, 2008 were not eligible for protection under the Program.
The Program, which was originally set to expire on December 18, 2008, was initially extended by the Treasury until April 30, 2009 and had been further extended by the Treasury until September 18, 2009, at which time the Secretary of the Treasury terminated the Program. As such, the fund is no longer eligible for protection under the Program. Participation in the initial term and the extended periods of the Program required a payment to the Treasury in the amount of .01%, .015% and .015%, respectively, of the fund’s shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008 (valued at $1.00 per share).This expense was borne by the fund without regard to any expense limitation in effect.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 2—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .10% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.The Manager has agreed to pay all of the fund’s expenses except the management fee, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees and costs to participate in the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program.
(b) Under the Service Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Reserve shares pay the Distributor at the annual rate of .06% of the value of Reserve shares average daily net assets for distributing Reserve shares, for advertising and marketing relating to Reserve shares and for providing certain services to shareholders of Reserve shares. The services include answering shareholder inquires 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 those services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended March 31, 2010, Reserve shares were charged $835,234 pursua nt to the Plan.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $841,031 and Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $54,783.
NOTE 3—Subsequent Events Evaluation:
Dreyfus has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments other than the following:
On April 14, 2010, the Board approved a proposal to amend the fund’s management agreement so that certain operating expenses, currently borne by Dreyfus under the existing unitary fee structure, would be borne by the fund, subject to shareholder approval.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
This annual report for Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund covers the 12-month period ended March 31, 2010. During the reporting period, the fund produced a yield of 0.14%. Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund produced an effective yield of 0.14% for the same period.1
Despite Recovery, Monetary Policy Remained Unchanged
The reporting period began in the immediate wake of a global financial crisis and severe recession. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) already had pumped liquidity into the banking system and eased monetary policy aggressively, driving the overnight federal funds rate to an unprecedented low range between 0% and 0.25%.The Fed maintained this accommodative policy stance throughout the reporting period, and money market yields remained near historical lows.
In addition to the Fed’s efforts, the U.S. government responded to the downturn with a number of its own measures, including the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds, which was designed to promote liquidity in the commercial paper market. This program remained in effect through September 18, 2009.
Longer-term financial markets hit multi-year lows in the weeks before the reporting period began, but investor sentiment soon began to improve when evidence emerged that credit markets were mending. The U.S. economy contracted at a –0.7% annualized rate between April and June 2009, a much milder decline than the previous quarter.
Residential construction improved in July, and August saw the first expansion of manufacturing activity in more than 18 months. Consumer spending increased in August by the largest margin in more than seven years, due in part to the U.S. government’s Cash for Clunkers automobile purchasing program. In September, pending home sales reached their highest level since March 2007.
2
Positive news in October included a return to growth for the U.S. economy, with U.S. GDP expanding at a 2.2% annualized rate in the third quarter, its first quarterly gain in more than a year. However, the unemployment rate climbed to 10.2% in October, its highest level since the early 1980s. November marked the fourth straight month of expanding manufacturing activity and moderating foreclosure rates. The unemployment rate declined to 10%, and monthly job losses moderated in December to 85,000.
Early 2010 brought more encouraging news, including the announcement that U.S. GDP grew at a 5.6% annualized rate during the fourth quarter of 2009. Although inventory rebuilding accounted for more than half of that gain, economists were encouraged in January by a better-than-expected improvement in retail sales. In addition, the unemployment rate fell to 9.7%, and job losses continued to moderate in January and February.
Manufacturing activity rose for the eighth straight month in March, and it did so at the fastest rate in almost six years.The employment situation improved, as 162,000 new jobs were created during the month while the unemployment rate held steady at 9.7%. However, 48,000 of those jobs were temporary ones as the government hired workers to conduct the 2010 Census. In addition, the housing market continued to struggle, with existing home sales sliding –0.6% compared to the previous month.
Finally, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) proposed new regulations governing money market funds. According to the SEC, the “new rules are intended to increase the resilience of money market funds to economic stresses and reduce the risks of runs on the funds by tightening the maturity and credit quality standards and imposing new liquidity requirements.”These new regulations had little impact on the fund’s operations, as it historically has been managed more conservatively than government regulations require.
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (continued)
An Unwavering Focus on Quality
With few opportunities available for significant levels of current income, most money market funds continued to maintain defensive investment postures, resulting in an industry-wide weighted maturity that is substantially shorter than historical averages. The fund also maintained a defensive footing, with a weighted average maturity that remained roughly in line with industry averages for most of the reporting period. As always, we focused exclusively on money market instruments meeting stringent credit-quality criteria.
Amid continued signs of economic improvement, some analysts have begun to anticipate higher short-term interest rates. However, the Fed again stated at its mid-March meeting that economic conditions “are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period.” On the other hand, policymakers’ concerns regarding the fragility of the credit markets seem to have eased, as the Fed discontinued purchases of U.S. government agency debentures and mortgage-backed securities at the end of the month. Still, until we see more convincing signs that the Fed is prepared to raise interest rates, we intend to maintain the fund’s focus on credit quality and liquidity.

| An investment in Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund (the “fund”) is not |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Money Market Funds (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company currently offering two series, including the fund.The fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.The fund serves as an investment vehicle for certain other Dreyfus funds as well as for other institutional investors. At March 31, 2010, 100% of the fund’s outstanding shares were held by other Dreyfus funds. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon ”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.
It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so.There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) has been the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.
12
The Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the Board of Trustees to represent the fair value of the fund’s investments.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted
prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds,
credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:
| |
| Short-Term |
Valuation Inputs | Investments ($)† |
Level 1—Unadjusted Quoted Prices | — |
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs | 738,752,375 |
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs | — |
Total | 738,752,375 |
| |
† | See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations. |
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Cost of investment represents amortized cost.
The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Manager, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the fund’s agreement to resell such securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with the fund’s custodian and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the terms of the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral
14
by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the fund maintains its right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.
(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.
(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended March 31, 2010, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended March 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At March 31, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 were all ordinary income.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
During the period ended March 31, 2010, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to dividend reclassification, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $9 and decreased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.
At March 31, 2010, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).
(e) Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program: The fund entered into a Guarantee Agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) to participate in the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”).
Under the Program, the Treasury guaranteed the share price of shares of the fund held by shareholders as of September 19, 2008 at $1.00 per share if the fund’s net asset value per share fell below $0.995 (a “Guarantee Event”) and the fund liquidated. Recovery under the Program was subject to certain conditions and limitations.
Fund shares acquired by investors after September 19, 2008 that increased the number of fund shares the investor held at the close of business on September 19, 2008 were not eligible for protection under the Program. In addition, fund shares acquired by investors who did not hold fund shares at the close of business on September 19, 2008 were not eligible for protection under the Program.
The Program, which was originally set to expire on December 18, 2008, was initially extended by the Treasury until April 30, 2009 and had been further extended by the Treasury until September 18, 2009, at which time the Secretary of the Treasury terminated the Program.
16
As such, the fund is no longer eligible for protection under the Program. Participation in the initial term and the extended periods of the Program required a payment to the Treasury in the amount of .01%, .015% and .015%, respectively, of the fund’s shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008 (valued at $1.00 per share).This expense was borne by the fund without regard to any expense limitation in effect.
NOTE 2—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .10% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.The Manager has agreed to pay all of the fund’s expenses except the management fee and costs to participate in the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program.
The Manager had undertaken from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010 to waive its management fee.The reductions in management fee pursuant to the undertaking amounted to $799,200 during the period ended March 31, 2010.The waiver was voluntary, not contractual and can be terminated at any time.
NOTE 3—Subsequent Events Evaluation:
Dreyfus has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |

Shareholders and Board of Trustees |
Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund |
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund (one of the series comprising Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Money Market Funds) as of March 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and others.We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund at March 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated years, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
