A LETTER FROM THE CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this semiannual report for General California Municipal Money Market Fund, covering the six-month period from December 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 along the money market spectrum. 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.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of December 1, 2006, through May 31, 2007, as provided by Joseph Irace, Portfolio Manager
Market and Fund Performance Overview
Yields of money market instruments remained in a relatively narrow trading range as the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) left short-term interest rates unchanged between June 2006 and the end of the reporting period in a slowing economic environment.
For the six-month period ended May 31, 2007, the fund produced annualized yields of 3.07% for Class A shares and 2.65% for Class B shares.Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund produced annualized effective yields of 3.11%, and 2.69% for Class A and Class B shares, respectively.1
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal and California state personal income taxes, to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
In pursuing this objective, we employ two primary strategies. First, we normally attempt to add value by constructing a portfolio of high-quality, municipal money market instruments that provide income exempt from federal and California state personal income taxes. Second, we actively manage the fund’s average maturity based on our anticipation of supply-and-demand changes in the short-term municipal marketplace.
For example, if we expect an increase in short-term supply, we may decrease the average maturity of the fund, which could enable us to take advantage of opportunities when short-term supply increases. Generally, yields tend to rise when there is an increase in new-issue supply competing for investor interest. New securities that are generally issued with maturities in the one-year range may in turn lengthen the fund’s weighted average maturity if purchased. If we anticipate limited new-issue supply, we may then look to extend the

fund’s average maturity to maintain then-current yields for as long as we believe practical. In addition, we try to maintain an average maturity that reflects our view of short-term interest-rate trends and future supply-and-demand considerations.
Interest Rates Stabilized as U.S. Economic Growth Moderated
The reporting period began in an environment of robust economic growth and mounting inflationary pressures, which in late June 2006 prompted the Fed to implement its sixteenth consecutive increase of short-term interest rates. As a result, the overnight federal funds rate rose to 5.25% . Over the summer, however, weakness in the housing and automotive sectors contributed to a more moderate rate of U.S. economic growth. In addition, inflationary pressures appeared to subside as energy prices retreated from their record highs.
Investors generally responded to these developments with expectations that a slower economy and lower inflation might prompt the Fed to begin reducing short-term interest rates sometime during 2007. The Fed lent credence to this view when it stopped raising interest rates and held them steady as it evaluated the impact of its previous rate hikes on the economy and inflation. In its public comments, the Fed repeatedly stated that it believed inflation was likely to moderate along with economic growth. With the Fed on hold, investor sentiment vacillated between expectations of a rate cut due to the economic slowdown and anticipation that stubborn inflation would cause the Fed to remain on the sidelines longer than previously expected.
In California, tax revenues have continued to increase in an expanding economy, helping to support a balanced operating budget, the state’s credit rating and prices of municipal securities.
Supply-and-Demand Forces Boosted Short-Term Yields
As short-term interest rates stabilized, tax-exempt money market yields traded within a relatively narrow range. However, variable-rate demand notes (“VRDNs”), on which yields are reset daily or weekly, provided

higher yields than longer-term instruments at times during the reporting period.This relatively unusual phenomenon, known as an “inverted yield curve,” was primarily the result of supply-and-demand forces.
When the yield curve was inverted, we allocated up to 90% of the fund’s assets to VRDNs, with the remainder invested in municipal notes and seasoned municipal bonds.As yield differences subsequently began to normalize, we reduced the fund’s exposure to VRDNs and increased its holdings of tax-exempt commercial paper with maturities in the three- to six-month range. As a result, the fund’s weighted average maturity increased from a relatively short position to one that was slightly longer than industry averages.
Fund Remains Positioned for an Unchanged Fed Policy
After the Fed’s meeting in May 2007, it commented that its “predominant policy concern remains the risk that inflation will fail to moderate as expected.” These remarks, together with mixed economic and inflation data, suggest to us that the Fed is unlikely either to raise or lower short-term interest rates anytime soon. In addition, June and July typically are very heavy months for issuance of one-year municipal notes in California.We therefore intend to maintain the fund’s slightly longer-than-average duration position until we see evidence that the Fed is ready to adjust monetary policy one way or the other.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
General California Municipal Money Market Fund (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal and California state personal income taxes, to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. During the reporting period, the Manager was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”).
On July 1, 2007, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. merged, forming The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. As part of this transaction, Dreyfus became a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.
Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. Effective June 30, 2007, the Distributor will be known as MBSC Securities Corporation.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in the following classes of shares: Class A shares and Class B shares. Class A shares and Class B shares are identical except for the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Class B shares are subject to a Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act and Class A and Class B shares are subject to a Shareholder Services Plan. In addition, Class B shares are charged directly for sub-accounting services provided by Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) at an annual rate of .05% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B shares. During the period ended May 31, 2007, sub-accounting service fees amounted to $21,254 for Class B shares and are included in shareholder servicing costs. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
The Fund 25
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so.There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.
The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the fund’s Board of Trustees to represent the fair value of the fund’s investments.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Cost of investments represents amortized cost.
26
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.
The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.
(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain.
(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
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
The Fund 27
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.
The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $88,993 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profit, if any, realized subsequent to November 30, 2006. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2014.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2006 were all tax exempt income. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
At May 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).
NOTE 2—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .50% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. The Agreement provides that if in any full fiscal year the aggregate expenses, exclusive of taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, exceed 1 1 / 2% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, the fund may deduct from payments to be made to the Manager, or the Manager will bear such excess expense. During the period ended May 31, 2007, there was no expense reimbursement pursuant to the Agreement.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan with respect to Class B shares (“Distribution Plan”), adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B shares bear directly the cost of preparing, printing and distrib-
28
uting prospectuses and statements of additional information and of implementing and operating the Distribution Plan, such aggregate amount not to exceed in any fiscal year of the fund, the greater of $100,000 or .005% of the average daily net assets of Class B shares. In addition, Class B shares reimburse the Distributor for payments made to third parties for distributing shares at an annual rate not to exceed .20% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B shares. During the period ended May 31, 2007, Class B shares were charged $86,751, pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan with respect to Class A (“Class A Shareholder Services Plan”), Class A shares reimburse the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class A shares for certain allocated expenses of providing personal services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding Class A shares and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended May 31, 2007, Class A shares were charged $47,700 pursuant to the Class A Shareholder Services Plan.
Under the Shareholder Services Plan with respect to Class B (“Shareholder Services Plan”), Class B shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B shares for servicing shareholder accounts.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding Class B shares and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents in respect of their services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents.
The Manager had undertaken from December 1, 2006 through May 31, 2007 for Class B shares to reduce the expenses of the Class B shares, if the aggregate expenses of Class B shares of the fund, exclu-
The Fund 29
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
sive of taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, exceed an annual rate of 1% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B. Such expense limitations are voluntary, temporary and may be revised or terminated at anytime. Pursuant to the Class B Shareholder Services Plan, during the period ended May 31, 2007, Class B shares were charged $106,269 and there was a reduction of $20,464 by the Manager.
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 $22,058 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.
During the period ended May 31, 2007, the fund was charged $2,044 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $244,396, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $15,350, shareholder services plan fees $23,024, transfer agency per account fees $9,050 and chief compliance officer fees $3,748, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $2,451.
(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
