A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
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, 2012, through May 31, 2013. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.
The U.S. economic recovery gained traction over the reporting period, but remained slower than historical norms. On one hand, the expansion has been fueled by gradually falling unemployment, recovering housing markets, rapid growth in domestic oil and gas production, and, perhaps most significant, the aggressively stimulative monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”). On the other hand, several factors have weighed on the nation’s economic growth rate, including relatively sluggish demand for exports to Europe and the emerging markets, higher tax rates for some Americans, and more restrictive fiscal policies stemming from sequestration.Yields of longer term municipal bonds climbed in response to these developments, partly offsetting price gains achieved earlier in the reporting period.
In our analysis, real GDP growth seems poised to accelerate modestly over the remainder of 2013. In fact, we expect the relatively mild economic expansion to remain intact domestically and globally over the next several years. The moderate pace of the recovery implies that the risks of consumer price inflation are limited, making it unlikely that the Fed will adopt expansion-threatening, restrictive policies anytime soon. As always, we encourage you to discuss our observations with your financial advisor.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of June 1, 2012, through May 31, 2013, as provided by Steven Harvey, Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2013, Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund achieved a total return of 2.28%.1 The Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 2.07% for the same period.2
Selling pressure at the end of 2012 stemming from changing capital gains tax rates and dealers’ reluctance to maintain inventories dampened municipal bond market returns for the reporting period overall, as did rising long-term interest rates in 2013. An emphasis on revenue bonds with maturities at the longer end of the intermediate-term spectrum enabled the fund to outperform its benchmark.
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 its 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 focus on identifying undervalued sectors and securities, and we minimize the use of interest rate forecasting. We select municipal bonds by using fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various sectors and securities and to exploit pricing inefficiencies in the municipal bond market. We actively trade among various sectors, such as pre-refunded, general obligation, and revenue, based on their apparent relative values.
The Fund 3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Selling Pressure in Advance of Tax Changes
Municipal bonds were supported at the start of the reporting period by robust demand for a limited supply of newly issued securities as investors sought competitive after-tax yields in a low interest rate environment. However, municipal securities generally began to lose value at the end of 2012 when investors took profits in anticipation of higher capital gains tax rates for 2013.At the same time, municipal bond dealers proved reluctant to absorb the rising supply of securities in the secondary market as they sought to maintain light inventories of unsold securities at year-end.
While the supply of newly issued municipal bonds continued to moderate over the opening months of 2013, robust investor demand failed to rematerialize. In addition, yields of U.S.Treasury securities generally climbed in response to improved economic trends and mounting expectations that the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) might back away from its ongoing quantitative easing program sooner than many had expected. These expectations intensified in May, when remarks by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke were widely interpreted as a signal of the central bank’s intention to move toward a less accommodative monetary policy. The resulting downward pressure on municipal bond prices erased some, but not all, of the gains achieved earlier in the reporting period.
In this environment, longer term and lower rated municipal bonds provided higher returns than their shorter maturity and higher rated counterparts, on average.
Fund Strategies Produced Positive Relative Results
The fund benefited throughout the reporting period from overweighted exposure to revenue bonds backed by hospitals, airports, and the states’ settlement of litigation with U.S. tobacco companies. Results were particularly strong among revenue bonds with maturities in the 10- to 15-year range, which lie at the long end of the intermediate-term spectrum. The fund’s holdings of bonds with credit ratings toward the lower end of the investment-grade range also fared relatively well. Our interest rate strategies also generally proved beneficial, as a modestly long average duration enabled the fund to participate more fully in relative strength among longer term securities early in the reporting period.
4
On the other hand, relative performance was dampened to a degree by higher quality revenue bonds backed by essential municipal services, such as water and sewer facilities.
We successfully employed interest rate swaps at times during the reporting period to take advantage of changing price disparities between municipal bonds and U.S. Treasury securities.
Maintaining a Selective Approach
We have been encouraged by recently improved economic data, but the U.S. economy remains vulnerable to domestic fiscal uncertainty and unexpected global developments. In addition, while credit fundamentals are improving for most states, many localities face ongoing fiscal pressures.Therefore, we have maintained a long-term perspective in which our research-intensive credit selection process seeks to identify attractively valued opportunities among fundamentally sound issuers. Over the near term, we believe that bouts of heightened market volatility may provide opportunities to purchase municipal bonds at more attractive valuations as yield differences widen along the market’s maturity spectrum.
June 17, 2013
Bond funds are subject generally to interest rate, credit, liquidity and market risks, to varying degrees, all of which are
more fully described in the fund’s prospectus. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related
to interest-rate changes, and rate increases can cause price declines.
High yield bonds involve increased credit and liquidity risks compared with investment grade bonds and are considered
speculative in terms of the issuer’s ability to pay interest and repay principal on a timely basis.
The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly
in the underlying assets. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value, and there is the risk that
changes in the value of a derivate held by the fund will not correlate with the underlying instruments or the fund’s
other instruments.
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.
2 SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital gain distributions.
The Barclays 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.

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 5/31/03 to a $10,000 investment made in the Barclays 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.These factors can contribute to the Index potentially outperforming or underperforming the fund. Unlike a mutual fund, the Index is not subject to charges, fees and other expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in any index. 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.

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 seek the maximum amount of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification is 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 fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: 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 unad-
36
justed quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such
The Fund 37
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. All of the preceding securities are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in swap transactions are valued each business day by the Service. Swaps are valued by the Service by using a swap pricing model which incorporates among other factors, default probabilities, recovery rates, credit curves of the underlying issuer and swap spreads on interest rates. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Service’s procedures are reviewed by Dreyfus under the general supervision of the Board.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
38
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2013 in valuing the fund’s investments:
| | | | |
| | Level 2—Other | Level 3— | |
| Level 1— | Significant | Significant | |

At May 31, 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.
The Fund 39
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax-exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended May 31, 2013, 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 tax year in the four-year period ended May 31, 2013 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At May 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed tax-exempt income $742,426, undistributed ordinary income $354,195, undistributed capital gains $4,251,983 and unrealized appreciation $57,380,376.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 were as follows: tax-exempt income $25,311,916 and $28,111,406, ordinary income $781,667 and $0, and long-term capital gains $3,801,736 and $0, respectively.
40
During the period ended May 31, 2013, 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 $267,232, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $257,560 and increased paid-in capital by $9,672. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.
(e) New Accounting Pronouncement: In January 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01 (“ASU 2013-01”), “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which replaced Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-
11 (“ASU 2011-11”), “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities.ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact on the fund’s financial statements.
NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $210 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Prior to October 10, 2012, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $225 million. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged

NOTE 3—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 .60% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.
(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, 2013, the fund was charged $509,792, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
The fund has arrangements with the transfer agent and the custodian whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agency and custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.
The fund compensates DreyfusTransfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing transfer agency services for the fund and cash management services related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended May 31, 2013, the fund was charged $258,968 for transfer agency services and $8,815 for cash management services. Cash management fees were
42
partially offset by earnings credits of $1,264.These fees are included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.
The fund compensatesThe Bank of NewYork Mellon under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. During the period ended May 31, 2013, the fund was charged $75,202 pursuant to the custody agreement.

The Fund 43
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended May 31, 2013 is discussed below.
Swap Transactions:The fund enters into swap agreements to exchange the interest rate on, or return generated by, one nominal instrument for the return generated by another nominal instrument.The fund enters into these agreements to hedge certain market or interest rate risks, to managing the interest rate sensitivity (sometimes called duration) of fixed income securities, to provide a substitute for purchasing or selling particular securities or to increase potential returns.
The fund accrues for the interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Once the interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as a realized gain (loss) on swaps, in addition to realized gain (loss) recorded upon the termination of swap agreements in the Statement of Operations. Upfront payments made and/or received by the fund, are recorded as an asset and/or liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain or loss ratably over the agreement’s term/event with the exception of forward starting interest rate swaps which are recorded as realized gains or losses on the termination date. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap transactions.
Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional principal amount.The fund may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on a notional prin-
44
cipal amount. The net interest received or paid on interest rate swap agreements is included within realized gain (loss) on swap contracts in the Statement of Operations. Interest rate swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and interest rate risk. For financial reporting purposes, forward rate agreements are classified as interest rate swaps. At May 31, 2013, there were no interest rate swap agreements outstanding.
The following summarizes the average notional value of swap contracts outstanding during the period ended May 31, 2013:
| |
| Average Notional Value ($) |
Interest rate swap contracts | 4,000,000 |
At May 31, 2013, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $886,145,131; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $57,380,376, consisting of $60,964,536 gross unrealized appreciation and $3,584,160 gross unrealized depreciation.
