A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Inc., covering the 12-month period from June 1, 2006, through May 31, 2007.

The U.S. economy continued to moderate during the reporting period as cooling housing markets took their toll on consumer and business spending. Labor markets, however, remained quite strong, and key measures of inflation have stayed stubbornly above the Federal Reserve’s stated “comfort zone.” Our economists believe that the anemic rate of U.S. economic growth recorded in the first quarter of 2007 should be the weakest reading of the current midcycle slowdown, and economic growth is likely to recover eventually to a near-trend pace.

The likely implications of our economic outlook include a long pause in Fed policy, a modest drop in 10-year Treasury bond yields (and consequent rise in price) and, in the absence of an as-yet unforeseen event, persistently tight yield spreads throughout the municipal bond market sectors.We expect these developments to produce both challenges and opportunities for fixed-income investors. As always, your financial advisor can help you position your investments for these trends.

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.

Chief Executive Officer

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the reporting period of June 1, 2006, through May 31, 2007, as provided by Monica S.Wieboldt, Senior Portfolio Manager

Fund and Market Performance Overview

Strong performance among municipal bonds over much of the period was offset by bouts of heightened volatility stemming from economic and inflation concerns.The fund’s return approximated the return of its benchmark, however, the fund produced a higher return than its Lipper category average return, due mainly to its core holdings of seasoned, income-oriented securities.

For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2007, the fund achieved a total return of 4.03%.¹The Lehman Brothers 7-Year Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.10% for the same period.²In addition, the average total return for all funds reported in the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category was 3.57%.³

The Fund’s Investment Approach

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

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

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

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 to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We also may look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

Early Market Rally Erased by Economic and Inflation Concerns

Although the reporting began in an environment of robust economic growth and intensifying inflationary pressures, conditions changed dramatically over the summer and fall of 2006. Short-term interest rates stabilized and energy prices declined, supporting a bond market rally. Most of the market’s strength was concentrated among longer-term securities, leading to narrower yield differences along the market’s maturity range.

Soon after 2007 began, slower U.S. economic growth and persistent inflationary concerns caused the outlook for the Federal Reserve Board’s (the “Fed”) interest-rate policy to become murkier. Market volatility intensified in late February, sparked by turmoil in overseas equity markets and the U.S. sub-prime mortgage sector. From March through April, unexpectedly robust labor markets, resurgent energy prices and comments from the Fed regarding the risk of inflation caused bond prices to fall, erasing previous gains.

An increase in the supply of newly issued municipal bonds also contributed to heightened market volatility. Some states began to see tax receipts fall below budget estimates, in part because of the slowdown in housing market. While municipal bond issuance volume increased compared to the same period one year earlier, the additional supply was readily absorbed by robust investor demand, including from non-traditional investors such as hedge funds and foreign governments.

Income-Oriented Bonds Helped Drive Performance

Because bond prices ended the reporting period close to where they began, the market’s and fund’s returns were generally derived from current income.The fund’s relative performance benefited from its core holdings of income-oriented bonds, especially those with maturities of 15 years or less. Securities with relatively little time left until their expected early redemptions helped protect the fund from the full brunt of market volatility. Lower-rated bonds fared well, including credits issued on behalf of airlines and the state’s settlement of litigation with U.S. tobacco companies. Finally, the fund received strong contributions from bonds that were scheduled for early redemption by their issuers, with funds set aside for principal repayments. Due to uncertainty regarding Fed policy, we generally maintained the fund’s average duration in the neutral range.

Fund Remains Positioned for Steady Fed Policy

With the economy slowing and inflation still above the Fed’s comfort zone, short-term interest rates seem likely to us to remain at current levels for some time.Therefore, we have maintained a neutral average duration and a focus on income-oriented bonds. Of course, we remain prepared to adjust our strategies as market conditions change.

1	Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no
	guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon
	redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income may be subject
	to state and local taxes, and some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax
	(AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable. Return figure provided reflects
	the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to an undertaking
	in effect that may be extended, terminated or modified at any time. Had these expenses not been
	absorbed, the fund’s return would have been lower.

^†Source: Lipper Inc.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.The fund’s performance shown in the graph and table does not

reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. on

5/31/97 to a $10,000 investment made in the Lehman Brothers 7-Year Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”) on that

date.All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

The fund invests primarily in municipal securities and maintains a portfolio with a weighted average maturity ranging

between 3 and 10 years.The fund’s performance shown in the line graph above takes into account fees and expenses.The

Index, unlike the fund, 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.The Index does

not take into account charges, fees and other expenses.These factors can contribute to the Index potentially outperforming

or underperforming the fund. Further information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if

applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to provide the maximum amount of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. During the reporting period, the Manager was 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. Effective June 30, 2007, the Distributor will be known as MBSC Securities Corporation.

On July 1, 2007, Mellon Financial andThe Bank of NewYork Company, Inc. merged, forming The Bank of NewYork Mellon Corporation.As part of this transaction, Dreyfus became a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.

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)


The Fund	33

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 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. 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, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid

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

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

On July 13, 2006, the 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.

At May 31,2007,the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed tax-exempt income $426,796, accumulated capital losses $3,876,985 and unrealized appreciation $8,352,648.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to May 31, 2007. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2011.


The Fund	35

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal period ended May 31, 2007 and May 31, 2006 were as follows: tax exempt income $28,452,297 and $30,843,247, ordinary income $132,065 and $0, respectively.

During the period ended May 31, 2007, as a result of permanent book to tax differences primarily due to the tax treatment for amortization adjustments, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $22,438, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $27,354 and decreased paid-in capital by $4,916. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowing. During the period ended May 31, 2007, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .60% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. The Manager had undertaken from June 1, 2006 through May 31, 2007 to reduce the management fee paid by the fund, to the extent that the fund’s aggregate annual expenses, exclusive of taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings, commitment fees and extraordinary expenses, exceed an annual rate of .75% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $6,025 during the period ended May 31, 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 inquires regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended May 31, 2007, the fund was charged $394,124 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 May 31, 2007, the fund was charged $248,721 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended May 31, 2007, the fund was charged $4,089 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 $376,245, chief compliance officer fees $3,748 and transfer agency per account fees $41,000.

(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 .10% redemption fee is charged and retained by the fund on certain shares redeemed within thirty days following the date of their issuance, including redemptions made through the use of the fund’s exchange privilege. During the period ended May 31, 2007, redemption fee charged and retained by the fund amounted to $60.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended May 31, 2007, amounted to $183,208,237 and $231,946,963, respectively.


The Fund	37

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The fund may purchase floating rate notes. A floating rate note is a Municipal Bond or other debt obligation (generally held pursuant to a custodial arrangement) having a relatively long maturity and bearing interest at a fixed rate substantially higher than prevailing short-term tax exempt rates, that has been coupled with the agreement of a third party, such as a bank, broker-dealer or other financial institution, pursuant to which such institution grants the security holders the option, at periodic intervals, to tender their securities to the institution and receive the face value thereof. As consideration for providing the option, the financial institution receives periodic fees equal to the difference between the obligation’s fixed coupon rate and the rate, as determined by a remarketing or similar agent at or near the commencement of such period, that would cause the securities, coupled with the tender option, to tra de at par on the date of such determination.Thus, after payment of this fee, the security holder effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term tax exempt rate.

At May 31,2007,the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $721,447,277; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $8,352,648, consisting of $11,340,381 gross unrealized appreciation and $2,987,733 gross unrealized depreciation.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE

FUND’S INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Directors held on May 8, 2007, the Board considered the re-approval of the fund’s Management Agreement through November 30, 2007, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its Management Agreement.The Manager’s representatives reviewed the fund’s distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each.The Manager’s representatives noted the diversity of distribution of the fund as well as among the funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the Manager’s corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services in each distribution channel, including those of the fund.The Board also reviewed the number of shareholder accounts in the fund, as well as the fund’s asset size.

The Board members also considered the Manager’s research and portfolio management capabilities, as well as the Manager’s oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and the Manager’s extensive administrative, accounting, and compliance infrastructure.

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


The Fund	41

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

fee and expense ratio with a group of comparable funds (the “Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”) that were selected by Lipper. Included in these reports were comparisons of contractual and actual management fee rates and total operating expenses. The Manager also provided a comparison of the fund’s total returns to the fund’s Lipper category average returns for the past 10 calendar years.

The Board reviewed the results of the Expense Group and Expense Universe comparisons based on financial statements currently available to Lipper as of February 28, 2007. The Board reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe, and noted that the fund’s contractual and actual management fees were higher than the respective Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.The Board also noted that the fund’s total expense ratio was at the Expense Group median and lower than the Expense Universe median.

The Board members also reviewed the reports prepared by Lipper that presented the fund’s performance for various periods ended February 28, 2007, and placed significant emphasis on comparisons of yield and total return performance among the same group of funds as the Expense Group (the “Performance Group”) and to a group of funds that was broader than the Expense Universe (the “Performance Universe”) that also was selected by Lipper.The Board noted the fund’s improved total return performance in the most recent four years and that the fund’s total return was at or higher than the medians of the Performance Group and Performance Universe for the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year time periods, although total return performance was lower than the medians for longer-term periods except as to the Performance Universe median for the 5-year period. On a yield performance basis, the Board noted that the fund 6;s 1-year yield performance for the past 10 calendar years was at or higher than the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for each reported time period.

Representatives of the Manager reviewed with the Board members the fees paid to the Manager or its affiliates by mutual funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates reported in the same Lipper category as the fund (the “Similar Funds”), and explained the nature of the Similar Funds and any differences, from the Manager’s perspective, in providing services to the Similar Funds as compared to the fund.The Manager’s representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries. The Board analyzed differences in fees paid to the Manager and discussed the relationship of the management fees paid in light of the services provided.The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Funds, to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fee.

Representatives of the Manager noted that there were no similarly managed institutional separate accounts or wrap fee accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies, and strategies as the fund.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Manager’s representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Manager and the method used to determine such expenses and profit.The Board considered information, previously provided and discussed, prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Manager’s approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire Dreyfus mutual fund complex.The Board members also considered that the methodology had also been reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm which, like the consultant, found the methodology to be reasonable.The consulting firm also analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of the fund. The Board members evaluated the profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the decline in fund assets


The Fund	43

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

from the prior year, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect with respect to trading the fund’s portfolio.

It was noted that the Board members should consider the Manager’s profitability with respect to the fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fees under the Management Agreement bear a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager, including the nature, extent, and quality of such services and that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been decreasing, the possibility that the Manager may have realized any economies of scale would be less. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was within the range determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered and that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was reasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations.

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

The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by the Manager in con- nection with the management fee rate charged to the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were to be determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

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

The pre-approved services in the Policy can include pre-approved audit services, pre-approved audit-related services, pre-approved tax services and pre-approved all other services.
