A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010.
Although a double-dip recession has recently become an increasingly unlikely scenario in our analysis, persistent uncertainty regarding the breadth and strength of the U.S. economic recovery has led to bouts of heightened volatility throughout many areas of the U.S. bond market during the past year. Higher yielding market sectors, such as corporate debt and commercial mortgages, as well as bonds from international debt markets have fared relatively well as investors seek competitive levels of income in a low interest-rate environment.
Uncertainty will probably remain in the broader financial markets until we see more robust economic growth, but we expect generally favorable influences in the bond market to persist for some time to come. Record low short-term interest rates, improving corporate balance sheets, and investors’ global search for income could continue to support prices of higher yielding bonds, especially if today’s economic concerns prove to be overstated. With that, we strongly suggest that you meet with your financial advisor to discuss the potential opportunities which may exist in the global investment universe, as well as to evaluate your portfolio to help meet your individual investment needs and your future goals relative to your risk-tolerance level.
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.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Jonathan R. Baum
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010, as provided by Nancy G. Rogers, Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010, Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund’s Investor shares produced a total return of 7.28%, and its BASIC shares produced a total return of 7.55%.1 In comparison, the Barclays Capital U.S.Aggregate Index (the “Index”) achieved a total return of 8.01% for the same period.2 The difference in returns between the fund and the Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and other operating expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s results.
During the reporting period, the U.S. bond market staged a broad-based advance as accommodative fiscal and monetary stimulus programs supported a slow-but-sustained economic recovery. The bond market’s stronger gains stemmed from commercial mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities. In contrast, U.S. government agency securities and U.S.Treasury securities lagged other sectors.
On a separate note, Nancy G. Rogers became the primary portfolio manager of the fund in February 2010. Ms. Rogers has been a portfolio manager of the fund since October 2007.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks to match the total return of the Index.To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds that are included in the Index.To maintain liquidity, the fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in various short-term, fixed-income securities and money market instruments.
While the fund seeks to mirror the returns of the Index, it does not hold the same number of bonds. Instead, the fund holds approximately 1,600 securities as compared to 8,200 securities in the Index. The fund’s average duration — a measure of sensitivity to changing interest rates — generally remains neutral to the Index. As of October 31, 2010, the average duration of the fund was approximately 4.58 years.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Fixed-Income Securities Benefit from Government Stimuli
The reporting period began in the immediate wake of an annualized quarterly U.S. GDP growth rate of 1.6%, which marked the domestic economy’s first quarter of growth after four consecutive quarters of contraction.While the return to growth was welcome news, a number of factors continued to weigh on the U.S. economy, including lacklus-ter consumer spending, cutbacks in business inventories and sluggish corporate investment. The labor market also remained weak through the final months of 2009, but the pace of job losses slowed significantly. The U.S. economy continued to accelerate, posting an annualized 5.0% rate for the fourth quarter of 2009.
For its part, the Federal Reserve Board, (the “Fed”) maintained its stance that it would employ all available tools to stimulate the economy, including injecting liquidity into the bond market through large purchases of U.S. government securities. As it has since December 2008, the Fed left the overnight federal funds rate unchanged in a range between 0% and 0.25% throughout the reporting period.
At the beginning of 2010, the labor market remained one of the largest concerns for U.S. economic growth.The unemployment rate stood at 9.7%, and the U.S. economy posted a less robust 3.7% annualized growth rate for the first quarter of 2010.
On March 31, the Fed completed its efforts to inject liquidity into the bond market through massive purchasing programs, which helped support returns for U.S. government securities. By May, however, investors became concerned regarding a European sovereign debt crisis, in which Greece found itself unable to finance a heavy debt load. Investors also reacted cautiously to a catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which threatened economic activity along the Gulf Coast.These factors contributed to a decline in U.S. GDP growth during the second quarter to an annualized 1.7% rate. Faced with greater uncertainty, investors flocked to the relative safety of U.S. government securities.
4
Investors Favored Higher Yielding Bonds
Over the summer of 2010, U.S.Treasuries rallied as yields fell across the maturity spectrum. Bonds with five- to 10-year maturities experienced the largest gains.As investors’ appetite for risk increased, they returned to higher yielding market sectors, boosting prices of commercial mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds. Soon after the reporting period came to a close, the Fed embarked on a second round of quantitative easing, in which it announced the purchase of $600 billion of U.S.Treasuries in an attempt to stimulate the U.S. economy, which had ended the third quarter with an estimated 2.0% annualized growth rate.
Mirroring the Index’s Composition
As an index fund, we attempt to replicate the returns of the Barclays Capital Index by closely approximating its composition. As of October 31, 2010, approximately 32% of the fund’s assets was invested in mortgage-backed securities, 3% in commercial mortgage-backed securities, 18% in corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, 36% in U.S.Treasury securities and 11% in U.S. government agency bonds. In addition, all of the fund’s corporate securities were at least BBB-rated or better at the end of the reporting period, and the fund has maintained an overall credit quality that is closely aligned with that of the Index.

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. | |
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. | |
2 | SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital |
gain distributions.The Barclays Capital U.S.Aggregate Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged | |
total return index of corporate, U.S. government and U.S. government agency debt instruments, | |
mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities with an average maturity of 1-10 years. | |
Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses associated with operating a mutual fund. |

“Index”) on that date.All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested. |
The fund’s performance shown in the line graph takes into account all applicable fees and expenses on both BASIC and |
Investor shares.The Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged index of corporate, U.S. government and U.S. government |
agency debt instruments, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. 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. |

Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds.You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.
Review your fund’s expenses
The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund from May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering ten series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to match the total return of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index. 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 500 million shares of $.001 par value Capital Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Investor and BASIC. Investor shares and BASIC shares are offered to any investor. Differences between the two classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, as well as their minimum purchase and account balance requirements. 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities excluding short-term investments (other than U.S.Treasury Bills), are valued each business day
TheFund 57
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Directors. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are valued as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Restricted securities, as well as securities or other assets for which recent market quotations are not readily available, that are not valued by a pricing service approved by the Board of Directors, or are determined by the fund not to reflect accurately fair value, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.The factors that may be considered when fair valuing a security include 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. Short-term investments, excluding U.S.Treasury Bills, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.
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
58
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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about FairValue Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the fund. No significant transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements occurred at October 31, 2010. The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These new and rev ised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.
(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, including where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit.The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully col-
60
lateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended October 31, 2010, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $49,048 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

(d) Dividends to shareholders: It is 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.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010.
Although a double-dip recession has recently become an increasingly unlikely scenario in our view, persistent uncertainty regarding the breadth and strength of the U.S. and global economic recoveries led to bouts of heightened volatility for U.S. stocks during most of 2010.The spending power of the U.S. consumer, long an important catalyst for economic growth, has been diminished by concerns over job security and an inability to generate cash from home equity.The second major driver of sustainable growth, corporate investment, has been stunted to a similar extent by tight credit conditions. However, the recent announcement of additional quantitative easing (QE2) measures by the Federal Reserve Board, as well as improved fundamentals across many developing nations, have helped support moderate global economic growth.
Uncertainty will probably remain in the broader financial markets until we see more evidence of robust economic growth, but we remain optimistic regarding the prospects for equities. Many stocks of quality companies with healthy balance sheets, higher credit ratings and strong cash flows appear to be currently priced at a discount.With that, we strongly suggest that you meet with your financial advisor to discuss the potential opportunities which may exist in the global markets, as well as to evaluate your portfolio to help meet your individual investment needs and your future goals relative to your risk-tolerance level.
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.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the reporting period of November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010, as provided by Sean P. Fitzgibbon, Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010, Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund produced a total return of 17.13%.1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 16.54% for the same period.2
Despite heightened market volatility over the spring and summer of 2010, stocks generally advanced during the reporting period as the U.S. economy continued to emerge from recession. The fund matched or exceeded the benchmark’s performance in seven of 10 market sectors, delivering particularly strong relative returns in the energy, consumer discretionary and technology sectors.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks capital appreciation.To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks focusing on large-cap companies. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of growth and value stocks, with industry and sector weightings generally similar to those in the S&P 500 Index.We choose stocks through a disciplined investment process that combines computer modeling techniques, fundamental analysis and risk management.The result is a broadly diversified portfolio of carefully selected stocks, with overall performance determined by a large number of securities.
Mixed Economic Data Sparked Market Volatility
Inconsistent economic trends produced a volatile market environment over the reporting period. Stocks generally advanced, retreated, then advanced again as investors searched for clarity in conflicting financial headlines. On the positive side, accelerating industrial activity, rising consumer spending and improved corporate earnings indicated that a
TheFund 3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
sustained U.S. economic recovery was underway. On the other hand, persistently high unemployment and foreclosure rates, the uncertain impact of a stricter regulatory environment, and the ramifications of a European sovereign debt crisis undermined confidence in the recovery’s long-term prospects. Consequently, the S&P 500 Index experienced choppy growth during the first six months of the reporting period, peaking in late-April 2010, then retreated in the spring and summer before advancing again in the fall to end the reporting period just below its April peak.
Opportunistic Positioning Emphasized Risk Management
In this environment, we positioned the fund to benefit from a sustained U.S. economic recovery through potentially overweighted exposure to consumer discretionary stocks. At the same time, in recognition of the uncertainties facing investors, we carefully monitored risks, moving swiftly to trim or sell holdings as they climbed above our estimations of fair value.This approach enabled the fund to lock in gains as markets rose while limiting losses when markets retreated.
The fund scored its best performance compared to the benchmark in the energy sector, where results were bolstered by limited exposure to large integrated oil-and-gas companies, many of which owned struggling refinery operations. Instead, the fund emphasized faster-growing exploration-and-production companies, such as Anadarko Petroleum and Newfield Exploration. In the consumer discretionary sector, the fund focused on recovering sales in the automobile, housing and retail areas. Top performers included global auto parts maker Autoliv, home improvement and building supplier Home Depot, online retailer Amazon.com and women’s apparel and beauty products retailer Limited Brands.
In the technology sector, the fund took opportunistic positions in companies profiting from growing demand for decentralized, enterprise-wide data storage and access, such as Informatica, NetApp,Teradata and Sybase, the latter of which was acquired by a competitor at a premium to its then-prevailing stock price. Other notably strong performers included electronic component maker Vishay Intertechnology and engine manufacturer Cummins.
4
On a more negative note, the financials sector was responsible for the greatest drag on the fund’s relative returns. Several holdings that we believed offered good long-term recovery prospects—such as Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Capital One Financial—suffered setbacks that we regarded as short term, and the fund’s purchase and sale of Citigroup during the reporting period proved to be unfortunately timed. Relative performance was also held back by an underweight position in telecommunications, which outperformed the benchmark, and our choice of telecommunications giant AT&T over Verizon and some of the smaller names in the sector.The most notable of these included utility holdings NextEra Energy and Public Service Enterprise Group, mobile communications company Research In Motion and biotechnology developer Amylin Pharmaceuticals.
Positioned for Recovery with an Eye on Valuation
As of the end of the reporting period, we have positioned the fund for a moderate, but ongoing, U.S. economic recovery through overweighted exposure to consumer discretionary stocks and, to a lesser degree, health care stocks that we believe offer good growth prospects. In contrast, the fund has maintained underweighted exposure to traditionally defensive sectors, such as consumer staples, and sectors where we believe valuations are stretched, such as materials. At the same time, in light of the uncertainties confronting the market, we remain committed to risk management, keeping a close eye on economic trends and looking to move quickly to redeploy the fund’s assets from stocks that reach our target prices into what we consider more attractive investments.

Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds.You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.
Review your fund’s expenses
The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund from May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES |
WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited) |
Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

Expenses paid per $1,000† | $ 5.09 |
Ending value (after expenses) | $1,020.16 |
† Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.00%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering ten series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. 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 (“ASC”) 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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for
16
valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange, are valued at their net asset value.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 (for example, a foreign exchange or market), 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 of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and future s contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered 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.
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.
TheFund 17
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:
Level 2—Other | Level 3— | |||
Level 1— | Significant | Significant | ||
Unadjusted | Observable | Unobservable | ||

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about FairValue Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements
18
that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the fund. No significant transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements occurred at October 31, 2010.The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.
(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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement withThe Bank of NewYork Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit.The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rig hts in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended October 31, 2010,The Bank

NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with the Manager, the Manager provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund.The Manager also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Manager a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .90% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, the Manager pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest, commitment fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees and expenses, fees and expenses of non-interested Directors (including counsel fees) and extrao rdinary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). Prior to January 1, 2010, each Board member received $45,000 per year, plus $6,000 for each joint Board meeting of the Company, The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust, The Dreyfus/Laurel Tax-Free Municipal Funds, Dreyfus Investment Funds and Dreyfus Funds, Inc. (collectively, the “Board Group Open-End Funds”) attended, $2,000 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which were not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $1,500 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that were conducted by telephone. Effective January 1, 2010, the Board Group Open-End Funds pay each Board member who is not an “interested person” of the Company (as defined in the Act) $60,000 per annum, plus $7,000 per joint Board Group Open-End Funds Board meeting attended , $2,500 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which are not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $2,000 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that are conducted by telephone.

22
ings, the Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation (with the exception of reimbursable amounts). With respect to compensation committee meetings prior to January 1, 2010, the Chair of the compensation committee received $900 per compensation committee meeting. Effective January 1, 2010, the Chair of each of the Board’s committees, unless the Chair also serves as Chair of the Board, receives $1,350 per applicable committee meeting. In the event that there is an in-person joint committee meeting or a joint telephone meeting of the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus HighYield Strategies Fund, the $2,000 or $1,500 fee (prior to January 1, 2010) or the $2,500 or $2,000 fee (effective January 1, 2010), as applicable, is allocated between the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund. The Company’s portion of these fees and expenses are charged and alloca ted to each series based on net assets. Amounts required to be paid by the Company directly to the non-interested Directors, that would be applied to offset a portion of the management fee payable to the Manager, are in fact paid directly by the Manager to the non-interested Directors.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, the fund may pay annually up to .10% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets to compensate BNY Mellon and the Manager for shareholder servicing activities and the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Money Market Reserves, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010.
Uncertainty regarding the breadth and strength of the U.S. and global economic recoveries intensified at times over the past year. Former engines of growth appeared to stall as large parts of the developed world remained indebted and burdened by weak housing markets. While some emerging markets have posted more impressive growth rates, their developing economies have not yet provided a meaningful boost to global economic activity. The result has been a subpar U.S. recovery with stubbornly high unemployment rates, low levels of consumer confidence and muted corporate investment.
We do not expect to see a double-dip recession, thanks in part to record low short-term interest rates and quantitative easing measures by the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”). Indeed, with inflationary pressures currently negligible, we do not expect the Fed to raise short-term interest rates anytime soon, and money market yields seem likely to stay near historical lows.We currently believe that there may be opportunities in the equity and bond markets, stemming from improved valuations, healthy corporate balance sheets, better-than-expected earnings and higher-yielding alternatives for those willing to assume a higher level of risk tolerance. But are these investments right for you? Talk with your financial advisor, who is best suited to discuss the appropriateness of such investments given your individual profile and to evaluate your portfolio to help determine whether your “liquid asset” allocations are appropriate given today’s market environment.
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.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010, as provided by Patricia A. Larkin, Senior Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010, Dreyfus Money Market Reserves’ Investor shares produced a yield of 0.00%, and Class R shares produced a yield of 0.00%.Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund’s Investor shares and Class R shares also produced effective yields of 0.00% and 0.00%, respectively.1
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with stability of principal.To pursue its goal, the fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality, short-term debt securities, including: securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities; certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers’ acceptances and other short-term securities issued by domestic or foreign banks or their subsidiaries or branches; repurchase agreements; asset-backed securities; domestic and dollar-denominated foreign commercial paper; and other short-term corporate obligations, including those with floating or variable rates of interest.
Monetary Policy Unchanged in Muted Recovery
The reporting period began in the midst of an economic recovery fueled, in part, by an overnight federal funds rate that has remained unchanged since December 2008 in a historically low range between 0.00% and 0.25%. Indeed, the economic recovery appeared to remain on track as reflected by an annualized U.S. GDP growth rate of 5.0% during the fourth quarter of 2009.
While economic expansion in the first quarter moderated to a 3.7% annualized rate, it was encouraging news nonetheless for investors eager to see an end to the recession. In fact, job creation began to improve during the first quarter after many months of losses.
TheFund 3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Investors were further cheered in May, when 431,000 additional new jobs were created, although most were temporary government workers hired for the 2010 Census. However, the economic outlook soon took a turn for the worse when a sovereign debt crisis in Europe rattled investors, sparking heightened volatility in stock and bond markets. Indeed, U.S. industrial production appeared to moderate in June, and private-sector job growth proved more anemic than many analysts expected. U.S. GDP moderated to an annualized 1.7% rate during the second quarter, appearing to confirm renewed economic concerns.
Yet, in July, industrial production posted a relatively robust 1.0% gain after June’s mild setback, and the manufacturing and service sectors of the U.S. economy expanded for the twelfth and seventh consecutive months, respectively. On the other hand, total nonfarm payroll employment fell by 131,000 jobs in July, reflecting the end of temporary census hiring.
In August, sales of new homes fell to a 47-year low, while purchases of existing homes plummeted to a 15-year low.The unemployment rate rose to 9.6%, as only 67,000 jobs were created in the private sector during August. In September, the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the recession had ended in June 2009, but the ensuing recovery has been the slowest since World War II. Economic data released in September appeared to support the consensus view that economic recovery, while intact, remained uncertain; manufacturing activity continued to increase, but employment and housing data showed few, if any, signs of improvement. The U.S. Department of Commerce later estimated that U.S. GDP grew at a 2.5% annualized rate in the third quarter of 2010.
In response to the sluggish rebound, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) indicated in September that it would embark on a second round of quantitative easing of monetary policy by purchasing $600 million of U.S. Treasury securities. This move, which the Fed intends to begin implementing in November, is designed to fight deflationary forces and encourage lending by injecting more cash into the financial system.
Indeed, October brought better economic news. The private sector added 159,000 jobs during the month, with much of the gain coming
4
from the services sector.The manufacturing sector also expanded, as new orders hit their highest level since May. However, housing markets continued to disappoint when issues regarding the banking industry’s foreclosure process muddied an already murky outlook for home values.
An Unwavering Focus on Quality
The economy’s developments had relatively little impact on money markets.The low federal funds rate kept yields in the short-term credit markets near zero percent, and it continued to make little sense to incur the additional credit and interest-rate risks that longer-dated instruments typically entail. Therefore, we maintained the fund’s weighted average maturity in a range that was roughly in line with industry averages.As always, we focused exclusively on money market instruments meeting our stringent credit-quality criteria.
Although the economic recovery may be gathering momentum, inflationary pressures have remained negligible. The subpar recovery has convinced many analysts that a shift to higher short-term interest rates is unlikely anytime soon. Therefore, we intend to maintain the fund’s focus on credit quality and liquidity.

An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other | |
government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at | |
$1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. | |
Short-term corporate, asset-backed securities holdings and municipal securities holdings (as | |
applicable), while rated in the highest rating category by one or more NRSRO (or | |
unrated, if deemed of comparable quality by Dreyfus), involve credit and liquidity risks | |
and risk of principal loss. | |
1 | Effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily and reinvested monthly. Past performance is |
no guarantee of future results.Yields fluctuate.Yields provided reflect 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 yields | |
would have been lower, and in some cases, 7-day yields during the reporting period would have | |
been negative absent the expense absorption. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Money Market Reserves (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering ten series including the fund.The fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income consistent with stability of principal.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 without a sales charge.The fund is authorized to issue 2 billion shares of $.001 par value Capital Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Investor and Class R. Investor shares are sold primarily to retail investors and bear a distribution fee. Class R shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus) acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no distribution fee. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the distribution fee and voting rights on matters affecting a single class. Income, expense s (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 for the fund; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so.
14
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”) 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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities of sufficient credit quality are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the Board of Directors to represent the fair value of the fund’s investments.
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.
TheFund 15
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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. 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 October 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:
Short-Term | |
Valuation Inputs | Investments ($) |
Level 1—Unadjusted Quoted Prices | — |
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs | 469,908,411 |
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs | — |
Total | 469,908,411 |
† 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 investments represents amortized cost.
16
The fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the fund, through its custodian and sub-custodian, takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during the fund’s holding period. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the fund’s holding period. The value of the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. In the event of a counterparty default, the fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.There is potential loss to the fund in the event the fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securiti es, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the fund seeks to assert its rights.The Manager, acting under the supervision of the Board of Directors, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the fund enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.
(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 interest 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.
TheFund 17
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
As of and during the period ended October 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 October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 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 October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 were all ordinary income.
At October 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).
NOTE 2—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with the Manager, the Manager provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund.The Manager also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Manager a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .50% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, the Manager pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, servicing fees and expenses, fees and expenses of non-interested Directors (including counsel fees) and extraor dinary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested
18
Directors (including counsel fees). Prior to January 1, 2010, each Board member received $45,000 per year, plus $6,000 for each joint Board meeting of the Company, The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust, The Dreyfus/Laurel Tax-Free Municipal Funds, Dreyfus Investment Funds and Dreyfus Funds, Inc. (collectively, the “Board Group Open-End Funds”) attended, $2,000 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which were not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $1,500 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that were conducted by telephone. Effective January 1, 2010, the Board Group Open-End Funds pay each Board member who is not an “interested person” of the Company (as defined in the Act) $60,000 per annum, plus $7,000 per joint Board Group Open-End Funds Board meeting attended, $2,500 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which are not he ld in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $2,000 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that are conducted by tele-phone.The Board Group Open-End Funds also reimburse each Board member who is not an “interested person” of the Company (as defined in the Act) for travel and out-of-pocket expenses.With respect to Board meetings, the Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation (with the exception of reimbursable amounts). With respect to compensation committee meetings prior to January 1, 2010, the Chair of the compensation committee received $900 per compensation committee meeting. Effective January 1, 2010, the Chair of each of the Board’s committees, unless the Chair also serves as Chair of the Board, receives $1,350 per applicable committee meeting. In the event that there is an in-person joint committee meeting or a joint telephone meeting of the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus HighYield Strategies Fund, the $2,000 or $1,500 fee (prior to January 1, 2010) or the $2,500 or $2,000 fee (effective January 1, 2010), as applicable, is allocated between the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund. The Company’s portion of these fees and expenses are charged and allocated to each series based on net assets.
TheFund 19
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Amounts required to be paid by the Company directly to the non-interested Directors, that would be applied to offset a portion of the management fee payable to the Manager, are in fact paid directly by the Manager to the non-interested Directors.
The Manager has undertaken to reimburse expenses in the event that current yields drop below a certain level. Such limitation may fluctuate daily, is voluntary and not contractual and may be terminated at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $1,390,027 for Investor shares and $309,725 for Class R shares during the period ended October 31, 2010.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Investor shares may pay annually up to .25% (currently limited by the Company’s Board of Directors to .20%) of the value of the average daily net assets attributable to its Investor shares to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Investor shares. During the period ended October 31, 2010, Investor shares were charged $675,472 pursuant to the Plan.
Under its terms, the Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Plan.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $200,012 and Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $54,407, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $146,616.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus AMT-Free Municipal Reserves, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010.
Uncertainty regarding the breadth and strength of the U.S. and global economic recoveries intensified at times over the past year. Former engines of growth appeared to stall as large parts of the developed world remained indebted and burdened by weak housing markets. While some emerging markets have posted more impressive growth rates, their developing economies have not yet provided a meaningful boost to global economic activity. The result has been a subpar U.S. recovery with stubbornly high unemployment rates, low levels of consumer confidence and muted corporate investment.
We do not expect to see a double-dip recession, thanks in part to record low short-term interest rates and quantitative easing measures by the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”). Indeed, with inflationary pressures currently negligible, we do not expect the Fed to raise short-term interest rates anytime soon, and money market yields seem likely to stay near historical lows. We currently believe that there may be opportunities in the equity and bond markets, stemming from improved valuations, healthy corporate balance sheets, better-than-expected earnings and higher-yielding alternatives for those willing to assume a higher level of risk tolerance. But are these investments right for you? Talk with your financial advisor, who is best suited to discuss the appropriateness of such investments given your individual profile and to evaluate your portfolio to help determine whether your “liquid asset” allocations are appropriate given today’s market environment.
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.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010, as provided by Joseph Irace, Senior Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010, Dreyfus AMT-Free Municipal Reserves’ BASIC shares produced a yield of 0.01%, Class B shares produced a yield of 0.00%, Class R shares produced a yield of 0.01% and Investor shares produced a yield of 0.00%.Taking into consideration the effects of compounding, the fund’s BASIC shares, Class B shares, Class R shares and Investor shares produced effective yields of 0.01%, 0.00%, 0.01% and 0.00%, respectively, for the same period.1
Money market yields remained at historical lows during the reporting period as a persistently subpar economic recovery prompted the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) to maintain an aggressively accommodative monetary policy. Robust demand for a limited supply of tax-exempt money market instruments also contributed to low yields.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks a high level of current income, consistent with stability of principal that is exempt from federal income tax. The fund also seeks to provide income exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax.To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in tax-exempt municipal obligations, including short-term municipal debt securities that do not pay interest subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Among these are municipal notes, short-term municipal bonds, tax-exempt commercial paper and municipal leases.The fund also may invest in high-quality short-term structured notes, which are derivative instruments whose value is tied to underlying municipal obligations.
Money Market Yields Hovered Near Historical Lows
Although unemployment in the United States remained stubbornly high and national housing markets have yet to recover meaningfully, manufacturing activity continued to rebound, helping to bolster
TheFund 3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
confidence among consumers, businesses and investors. Still, the U.S. economic recovery throughout the reporting period proved to be milder than most previous recoveries. Indeed, the domestic economic growth rate, while still positive, moderated in the second and third quarters of 2010 compared to the first quarter of the year.
The U.S. and global economies were constrained by several new influences during the reporting period, including turmoil in European sovereign debt markets, inflationary pressures in China and the aftermath of a catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. These developments added to ongoing economic concerns regarding lackluster consumer spending and high unemployment levels in the United States. In light of these challenges, the Fed retained the aggressively accommodative monetary policy it first established in December 2008, which set short-term interest rates in a range between 0% and 0.25%.
In the municipal securities market, the supply of variable-rate demand notes and tender option bonds remained relatively low, due mainly to tighter lending restrictions and credit-rating downgrades. Instead, issuers continued to turn to longer-term bonds, including securities through the federally subsidized Build America Bonds program, which diverted a substantial amount of new municipal issuance to the taxable bond market. Meanwhile, demand for tax-exempt money market instruments remained robust from investors concerned about potential tax increases, putting additional downward pressure on already low tax-exempt money market yields.
Finally, most states and municipalities continued to face fiscal challenges stemming from tax shortfalls and robust demand for services, limiting the supply of instruments meeting our investment criteria.
In-House Research Supported Credit Quality
The in-depth, independent research conducted by our credit analysts into the issuers we consider led us to retain our focus on direct, high-quality municipal obligations during the reporting period.As we have for some time, we favored instruments backed by pledged tax appropriations or revenues from facilities providing essential services.
4
We generally shied away from instruments issued by entities that depend heavily on state aid. We also avoided instruments that our credit analysts believe may be subject to credit-rating downgrades, including some that came to market with elevated yields to compensate investors for higher risks. We set the fund’s weighted average maturity in a range that was roughly in line with industry averages.
Safety and Liquidity Remain Paramount
The Fed repeatedly has indicated that it is likely to keep short-term interest rates near historical lows for an extended period. Recent plans for a new round of quantitative easing lent credence to this view. Therefore, we believe the prudent course continues to be an emphasis on preservation of capital and liquidity.
However, we expect the supply of newly issued tax-exempt money market instruments to trend higher in the months ahead, which could support higher yields.We also are mindful that, when the Fed eventually begins to raise the federal funds rate, a relatively defensive maturity-management strategy may enable the fund to capture higher yields more quickly as they become available.

Municipal securities holdings (as applicable), while rated in the highest rating category by | |
one or more National Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSRO) (or unrated, | |
if deemed of comparable quality by Dreyfus), involve credit and liquidity risks and risk of | |
principal loss. | |

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, fund yields would | |
have been lower, and in some cases, 7-day yields during the reporting period would have been | |
negative absent the expense absorption. |

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)
As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds.You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.
Review your fund’s expenses
The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus AMT-Free Municipal Reserves from May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus AMT-Free Municipal Reserves (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering ten series including the fund.The fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income consistent with stability of principal, that is exempt from federal income tax. 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 without a sales charge.The fund is authorized to issue 1 billion shares of $.001 par value Capital Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Investor, Class R, BASIC and Class B. Investor shares and Class B shares are offered primarily to clients of financial institutions that have entered into selling agreements with the Distributor, and bear a distribution fee. Class B shares also bear a shareholder services fee. BASIC shares are offered to any investor and bear no distribution or shareholder services fee. Class R shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including The Bank of NewYork Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus) acting on behalf of customers having a qualified t rust or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no distribution or shareholder services fee. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the distribution fee, shareholder services fee and voting rights on matters affecting a single class. Income, expenses (other than expense 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.
TheFund 25
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00 for the fund; 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”) 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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities of sufficient credit quality are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the Board of Directors to represent the fair value of the fund’s investments.
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.
26
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. 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 October 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:
Short-Term | |
Valuation Inputs | Investments ($)† |
Level 1—Unadjusted Quoted Prices | — |
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs | 399,476,886 |
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs | — |
Total | 399,476,886 |
† 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 is recognized on the accrual basis. Cost of investments represents amortized cost.

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.
(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 October 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 October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 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 $2,231 is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2010. If not applied, $1,565 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2015 and $666 expires in fiscal 2016.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 were all tax-exempt income.
28
At October 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).
NOTE 2—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with the Manager, the Manager provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. The Manager also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Manager a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .50% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, the Manager pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, service fees and expenses, fees and expenses of non-interested Directors (including counsel fees) and extraord inary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). Prior to January 1, 2010, each Board member received $45,000 per year, plus $6,000 for each joint Board meeting of the Company,The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust, The Dreyfus/Laurel Tax-Free Municipal Funds, Dreyfus Investment Funds and Dreyfus Funds, Inc. (collectively, the “Board Group Open-End Funds”) attended, $2,000 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which were not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $1,500 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that were conducted by telephone. Effective January 1, 2010, the Board Group Open-End Funds pay each Board member who is not an “interested person” of the Company (as defined in the Act) $60,000 per annum, plus $7,000 per joint Board Group Open-End Funds Board meeting attended,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
$2,500 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which are not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $2,000 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that are conducted by telephone.The Board Group Open-End Funds also reimburse each Board member who is not an “interested person” of the Company (as defined in the Act) for travel and out-of-pocket expenses.With respect to Board meetings, the Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation (with the exception of reimbursable amounts).With respect to compensation committee meetings prior to January 1, 2010, the Chair of the compensation committee received $900 per compensation committee meeting. Effective January 1, 2010, the Chair of each of the Board’s committees, unless the Chair also serves as Chair of the Board, receives $1,350 per applicable committee meeting. In the event that there is an in-person joint committee meeting or a joint telephone meeting of the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus HighYield Strategies Fund, the $2,000 or $1,500 fee (prior to January 1, 2010) or the $2,500 or $2,000 fee (effective January 1, 2010), as applicable, is allocated between the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus HighYield Strategies Fund.The Company’s portion of these fees and expenses are charged and allocated to each series based on net assets.Amounts required to be paid by the Company directly to the non-interested Directors, that would be applied to offset a portion of the management fee payable to the Manager, are in fact paid directly by the Manager to the non-interested Directors.
The Manager has undertaken to reimburse expenses in the event that current yields drop below a certain level. Such limitation may fluctuate daily, is voluntary and not contractual and may be terminated at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $136,486 for Investor shares, $37,105 for Class R shares, $20,019 for BASIC shares and $1,420,288 for Class B shares, respectively, during the period ended October 31, 2010.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act (the “Rule”), Investor shares and Class B shares may pay annually up to .25% of the value of the average daily
30
net assets (Investor shares are currently limited by the Company’s Board of Directors to .20%) attributable to its Investor shares and Class B shares to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Investor shares and Class B shares. During the period ended October 31, 2010, Investor shares and Class B shares were charged $109,612 and $648,538, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.
(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan (the “Service Plan”) subject to the Rule, pursuant to which the fund pays the Distributor for the provision of certain services to the holders of its Class B shares a fee at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of such shareholder accounts. Under the Service Plan, the Distributor may enter into Shareholder Services Agreements with Service Agents and make payments to Service Agents in respect of these services. During the period ended October 31, 2010, Class B shares were charge d $648,538, pursuant to the Service Plan.
The Company and the Distributor may suspend or reduce payments under the Service Plan at any time, and payments are subject to the continuation of the Service Plan and the Agreements described above. From time to time, the Service Agents, the Distributor and the Company may agree to voluntarily reduce the maximum fees payable under the Service Plan.
Under its terms, the Service Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Service Plan.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Tax Managed Growth Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010.
Although a double-dip recession has recently become an increasingly unlikely scenario in our view, persistent uncertainty regarding the breadth and strength of the U.S. and global economic recoveries led to bouts of heightened volatility for U.S. stocks during most of 2010.The spending power of the U.S. consumer, long an important catalyst for economic growth, has been diminished by concerns over job security and an inability to generate cash from home equity.The second major driver of sustainable growth, corporate investment, has been stunted to a similar extent by tight credit conditions. However, the recent announcement of additional quantitative easing (QE2) measures by the Fed, as well as improved fundamentals across many developing nations, have helped support moderate global economic growth.
Uncertainty will probably remain in the broader financial markets until we see more evidence of robust economic growth, but we remain optimistic regarding the prospects for equities. Many stocks of quality companies with healthy balance sheets, higher credit ratings and strong cash flows appear to be currently priced at a discount.With that, we strongly suggest that you meet with your financial advisor to discuss the potential opportunities which may exist in the global markets, as well as to evaluate your portfolio to help meet your individual investment needs and your future goals relative to your risk-tolerance level.
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.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period from November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010, as provided by Fayez Sarofim, Portfolio Manager of Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sub-Investment Adviser
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010, DreyfusTax Managed Growth Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 15.53%, Class B shares returned 14.65%, Class C shares returned 14.63% and Class I shares returned 15.81%.1 For the same period, the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), produced a 16.54% total return.2
Although stocks encountered heightened volatility during the spring of 2010 due to economic concerns, a rally later in the reporting period erased earlier losses.The fund produced returns that were slightly lower than its benchmark, primarily due to relative weakness early in the reporting period when lower-quality stocks outperformed high-quality, blue-chip equities.
Please note, as of November 2, 2010, the fund is being managed by a team of portfolio managers employed by Fayez Sarofim & Co., consisting of Fayez Sarofim, Catherine Crain, Jeff Jacobe, Gentry Lee, Christopher Sarofim and Charles Sheedy.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund invests primarily in well-established, multinational companies that we believe are well positioned to weather difficult economic climates and thrive during favorable times. We focus on purchasing large-cap, blue-chip stocks at a price we consider to be justified by a company’s fundamentals. The result is a portfolio of stocks selected for what we consider to be sustained patterns of profitability, strong balance sheets, expanding global presence and above-average earnings growth potential. At the same time, we manage the fund in a manner cognizant of the concerns of tax-conscious investors.We typically buy and sell relatively few stocks during the course of the year, which may help reduce investors’ tax liabilities.
TheFund 3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Return to Fundamentals in a Slow-Growth Economy
From October 2009 through April 2010, rising manufacturing activity and other evidence of economic recovery drove many stocks higher. However, investors at the time continued to focus mainly on more speculative stocks that had been severely beaten down during the recession and financial crisis. In contrast, large, well-established companies continued to lag market averages.
The market’s advance was interrupted in May by new economic concerns, including a sovereign debt crisis in Europe, persistently high unemployment in the United States and the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, while many stocks lost ground, investors became increasingly selective, turning to companies that they believed could maintain earnings growth in a sluggish economy.This shift benefited the kinds of blue-chip growth companies in which the fund invests. Investors continued to favor higher-quality growth companies in the fall, as strong corporate earnings and improved economic data sparked a market rally that more than offset previous market weakness.
Sector Allocations and Stock Selections Bolstered Fund Results
The fund achieved especially strong relative performance in the consumer staples sector, where overweighted exposure and strong stock selections produced favorable results among companies with a global presence, solid financial structures, ample dividends and track records of steady revenues. Some of the top performers exhibiting these characteristics included food giant Nestle, tobacco producers Altria Group and Philip Morris International, beverages leaders Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, personal care specialist Estee Lauder and household goods purveyor Procter & Gamble.
The fund’s sector allocation strategy helped it avoid general weakness in the financials sector amid concerns regarding a stricter U.S. regulatory environment and risks posed by problems in the industry’s mortgage foreclosure process. In the information technology sector, electronics innovator Apple continued to gain value due to the success of its smart-phone and tablet computer products.
Disappointments during the reporting period included an overweighted position in the energy sector, which was hurt by fears of a double-dip recession and concerns surrounding the Gulf oil spill. Energy giant
4
Exxon Mobil ranked as the greatest detractor from the fund’s relative performance, as investors reacted negatively to its acquisition of natural gas producer XTO Energy.The fund’s relative performance was further dampened by an underweighted position in the industrials sector, which fared relatively well for the benchmark.Walgreen also undermined the fund’s results, due to sluggish consumer spending and company-specific issues in its pharmacy benefits business.
Focused on Secular Growth Opportunities
Although the U.S. and global economic rebounds have been slower than historical averages, we do not expect a return to recession. Slower growth in the United States is likely to be balanced by more robust growth in overseas markets.Therefore, in our view, investors are likely to continue to favor large, multinational companies with solid business fundamentals. In addition, we believe that the U.S. stock market currently is attractively valued and may be poised for further gains if companies deploy some of the massive cash reserves on their balance sheets. During the reporting period, we identified some new growth opportunities and added some positions to the portfolio, including technology giant International Business Machines, retailer Target and energy exploration-and-production company Occidental Petroleum. Conversely, we eliminated positions in Bank of America and coal producer Peabody Energy.

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds.You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.
Review your fund’s expenses
The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus Tax Managed Growth Fund from May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.
Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment | ||||
assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2010 | ||||
Class A | Class B | Class C | Class I | |
Expenses paid per $1,000† | $ 6.44 | $ 10.29 | $ 10.29 | $ 5.16 |

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES |
WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited) |
Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.
Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment | ||||
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2010 | ||||
Class A | Class B | Class C | Class I | |
Expenses paid per $1,000† | $ 6.36 | $ 10.16 | $ 10.16 | $ 5.09 |
Ending value (after expenses) | $1,018.90 | $1,015.12 | $1,015.12 | $1,020.16 |
† Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.25% for Class A, 2.00% for Class B, 2.00% for Class C and 1.00% for Class I, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

(the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering ten series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation consistent with minimizing realized capital gains and taxable current income. 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. Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“Sarofim & Co.”) serves as the fund’s sub-investment adviser.
MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares.The fund is authorized to issue 500 million shares of $.001 par value Capital Stock. The fund currently offers four classes of shares: Class A (200 million shares authorized), Class B (100 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized) and Class I (100 million shares authorized). Class A, Class B and Class C shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear a distribution fee and/or service fee. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge, while Class B and Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after six years.The fund does not offer Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permit ted exchanges of Class B shares. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including The Bank of NewYork Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus) acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no distribution or service fees. Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to distri-
20
bution and service fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single 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.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available, are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.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 the security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), 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 of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assis-
TheFund 21
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
tance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which securities are purchased and sold and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.
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).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
22
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:
Level 2—Other | Level 3— | |||
Level 1— | Significant | Significant | ||
Unadjusted | Observable | Unobservable | ||
Quoted Prices | Inputs | Inputs | Total | |

† See Statement of Investments for industry classification. |
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about FairValue Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the fund. No significant transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements occurred at October 31, 2010. The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These new and rev ised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.
(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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest
TheFund 23
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by Dreyfus, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit. The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to r eturn the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended October 31, 2010, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $2,212 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
The fund may invest in shares of certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by Dreyfus. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2010 were as follows:

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and 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.
(e) 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 October 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 October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $950,660, accumulated capital losses $17,663,097 and unrealized appreciation $26,025,697.
The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2010. If not applied, $7,169,147 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2011, $7,859,919 expires in fiscal 2012, $1,014,645 expires in fiscal 2017 and $1,619,386 expires in fiscal 2018.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $225 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended on October 31, 2010, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with Dreyfus, Dreyfus provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. Dreyfus also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay Dreyfus a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.10% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, Dreyfus pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest, commitment fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees and expenses, service fees, expenses of non-interested Directors (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expen ses. In addition, Dreyfus is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees).

Effective January 1, 2010, the Chair of each of the Board’s committees, unless the Chair also serves as Chair of the Board, receives $1,350 per applicable committee meeting. In the event that there is an in-person joint committee meeting or a joint telephone meeting of the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus HighYield Strategies Fund, the $2,000 or $1,500 fee (prior to January 1, 2010) or the $2,500 or $2,000 fee (effective January 1, 2010), as applicable, is allocated between the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund.The Company 6;s portion of these fees and expenses are charged and allocated to each series based on net assets.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus BASIC S&P 500 Stock Index Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010.
Although a double-dip recession has recently become an increasingly unlikely scenario in our view, persistent uncertainty regarding the breadth and strength of the U.S. and global economic recoveries led to bouts of heightened volatility for U.S. stocks during most of 2010.The spending power of the U.S. consumer, long an important catalyst for economic growth, has been diminished by concerns over job security and an inability to generate cash from home equity.The second major driver of sustainable growth, corporate investment, has been stunted to a similar extent by tight credit conditions. However, the recent announcement of additional quantitative easing (QE2) measures by the Federal Reserve Board, as well as improved fundamentals across many developing nations, have helped support moderate global economic growth.
Uncertainty will probably remain in the broader financial markets until we see more evidence of robust economic growth, but we remain optimistic regarding the prospects for equities. Many stocks of quality companies with healthy balance sheets, higher credit ratings and strong cash flows appear to be currently priced at a discount.With that, we strongly suggest that you meet with your financial advisor to discuss the potential opportunities which may exist in the global markets, as well as to evaluate your portfolio to help meet your individual investment needs and your future goals relative to your risk-tolerance level.
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.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010, as provided by Thomas J. Durante, CFA, Karen Q. Wong and Richard A. Brown, Portfolio Managers
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010, Dreyfus BASIC S&P 500 Stock Index Fund produced a total return of 16.39%.1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, produced a 16.54% return for the same period.2,3
Large-cap stocks ended a volatile reporting period with double-digit gains, on average, as investor sentiment was buoyed by a sustained U.S. economic recovery despite a number of economic headwinds. The difference in returns between the fund and the S&P 500 Index was primarily the result of the fund’s transaction costs and operating expenses.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks to match the total return of the S&P 500 Index by generally investing in all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 Index in proportion to their respective weighting. Often considered a barometer for the stock market in general, the S&P 500 Index is made up of 500 widely held common stocks across 10 economic sectors. Each stock is weighted by its float-adjusted market capitalization; that is, larger companies have greater representation in the S&P 500 Index than smaller ones.
Equity Markets Rebounded in Economic Recovery
When the reporting period began, the U.S. economy had returned to growth, aided in large part by fiscal and monetary stimulus programs from the federal government and Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), respectively. Early in the reporting period, improving manufacturing activity and an apparent bottoming of housing prices helped bolster confidence among businesses, consumers and investors. Consumer and corporate spending improved, and commodity prices climbed.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
By May, however, investors were faced with two new global developments. First, Greece found itself unable to refinance a heavy debt load, leading to a sovereign debt crisis that investors feared might spread throughout the European Union. Second, a catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico threatened economic activity along the U.S. Gulf Coast as well as the prospects of energy companies engaged in deep-sea drilling. These concerns weighed heavily on investor sentiment and stock prices. However, fears regarding the possibility of a return to recession proved to be unwarranted when, by the end of the summer, a number of economic indicators pointed to continued, albeit subpar, U.S. economic growth.
Throughout the reporting period, the Fed made it clear that it would continue to employ all available tools to stimulate the economy. Indeed, as it has since December 2008, the Fed maintained the overnight federal funds rate in a historically low range between 0% and 0.25%.The Fed also announced plans to embark on a second round of quantitative easing, in which it will purchase $600 billion of U.S. Treasuries to further stimulate the U.S. economy. Anticipation of the Fed’s quantitative easing program helped spark a market rally that persisted through the reporting period’s end.
All Market Sectors in S&P 500 Index Produced Positive Results
All 10 of the economic sectors that comprise the S&P 500 Index produced positive absolute returns during the reporting period, a testament to the breadth of the market rebound. Stronger consumer and business spending helped the information technology sector rank among the S&P 500 Index’s top performing sectors. In addition, many technology firms expanded their overseas presence during the reporting period, made possible, in part, by their ability to borrow money at low interest rates. Cost-cutting measures, such as staff reductions, factory closures and moving operations to lower-cost sites, also helped boost the technology sector’s earnings. Hardware companies with new product lines and significant exposure to overseas markets fared especially well, as did software companies that offer businesses tools for managing data, supporting internal operations and facilitating collaboration and applicati on development.
4
A number of consumer discretionary stocks posted above-average results, most notably media stocks that provide steady dividends to investors. Advertising stocks fared well due to increased revenues from the November elections, and a number of casual dining chains and discounted Internet retailers gained value as consumer spending improved. In the industrials sector, an aerospace and defense company performed well amid continued geopolitical uncertainty, and railroad stocks benefited from rising shipping volumes in the recovering economy.
On the other hand, the financials sector produced more mixed results. While banks and diversified financial services companies generally disappointed, those losses were offset by gains from real estate investment trusts.
Index Funds Offer Diversification
As an index fund, we attempt to replicate the returns of the S&P 500 Index by closely approximating its composition. In our view, one of the greatest benefits of an index fund is that it offers a broadly diversified investment vehicle that can help investors manage risks by limiting the impact on the overall portfolio of unexpected losses in any single industry group or holding.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus BASIC S&P 500 Stock Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering ten series including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to match the total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index. 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 cha rge.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for
TheFund 29
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.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 (for example, a foreign exchange or market), 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 of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Deposit ory Receipts and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered 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. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price.
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.
30
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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about FairValue Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements
TheFund 31
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the fund. No significant transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements occurred at October 31, 2010. The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.
(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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit.The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of
32
rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended October 31, 2010, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $14,022 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
The fund may invest in shares of certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by Dreyfus. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2010 were as follows:

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are declared and paid on a quarterly basis. 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.
TheFund 33
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(e) 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 October 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 October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $5,464,499, accumulated capital losses $24,029,062 and unrealized appreciation $96,276,468.
The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2010. If not applied, $17,732,628 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2017 and $6,296,434 expires in fiscal 2018.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 were as follows: ordinary income $16,695,148 and $19,284,228 and long term capital gains $0 and $13,780,538, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2010, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for real estate investment trusts, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment-net by $42,534, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $42,585 and decreased paid-in-capital by $51. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.
34
NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $225 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing.
The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended October 31, 2010, was approximately $50,400 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.44%.
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee And Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with the Manager, the Manager provides or arranges for one or more third and/or affiliated parties to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund.The Manager also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Manager a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .20% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, the Manager pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest, commitment fees, fees and expenses of non-interested Directors (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). Prior to January 1, 2010, each Board member received $45,000 per year, plus $6,000 for each joint Board meeting of the Company, The
TheFund 35
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust, The Dreyfus/Laurel Tax-Free Municipal Funds, Dreyfus Investment Funds and Dreyfus Funds, Inc. (collectively, the “Board Group Open-End Funds”) attended, $2,000 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which were not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $1,500 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that were conducted by telephone. Effective January 1, 2010, the Board Group Open-End Funds pay each Board member who is not an “interested person” of the Company (as defined in the Act) $60,000 per annum, plus $7,000 per joint Board Group Open-End Funds Board meeting attended, $2,500 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which are not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $2,000 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that are conducted by telephone.The Bo ard Group Open-End Funds also reimburse each Board member who is not an “interested person” of the Company (as defined in the Act) for travel and out-of-pocket expenses. With respect to Board meetings, the Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation (with the exception of reimbursable amounts).With respect to compensation committee meetings prior to January 1, 2010, the Chair of the compensation committee received $900 per compensation committee meeting. Effective January 1, 2010, the Chair of each of the Board’s committees, unless the Chair also serves as Chair of the Board, receives $1,350 per applicable committee meeting. In the event that there is an in-person joint committee meeting or a joint telephone meeting of the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund, the $2,000 or $1,500 fee (prior to January 1, 2010) or the $2,500 or $2,000 fee (effective January 1, 2010), as applicable, is allocated between the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dr eyfus High Yield Strategies Fund. The Company’s portion of these fees and expenses are charged and allocated to each series based on net assets.Amounts required to be paid by the Company directly to the non-interested Directors, that would be applied to offset a portion of the management fee payable to the Manager, are in fact paid directly by the Manager to the non-interested Directors.
36
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $155,501.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and financial futures, during the period ended October 31, 2010, amounted to $67,002,087 and $106,384,691, respectively.
The provisions of ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives, which are accounted for as “hedges” and those that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Because investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of Operations, they do not qualify for such accounting. Accordingly, even though a fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure.
The following summarizes the average market value and percentage of average net assets of derivatives outstanding for the period ended October 31, 2010:
Value ($) | Average Net Assets (%) | |
Equity futures contracts | 16,069,401 | 1.78 |
Futures Contracts: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including equity price risk, as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments.The fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market.A futures contract represents
TheFund 37
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a broker, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statement of Operations. Futures contracts are valued daily at the last sales price established by the Board of Trade or exchange upon which they are traded. When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with futures since futures are exchange traded, and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the futures against default. Contracts open at October 31, 2010 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
At October 31, 2010, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $842,744,186; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $96,276,468, consisting of $255,003,591 gross unrealized appreciation and $158,727,123 gross unrealized depreciation.

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.An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.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 BASIC S&P 500 Stock Index Fund as of October 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus U.S.Treasury Reserves, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010.
Uncertainty regarding the breadth and strength of the U.S. and global economic recoveries intensified at times over the past year. Former engines of growth appeared to stall as large parts of the developed world remained indebted and burdened by weak housing markets. While some emerging markets have posted more impressive growth rates, their developing economies have not yet provided a meaningful boost to global economic activity. The result has been a subpar U.S. recovery with stubbornly high unemployment rates, low levels of consumer confidence and muted corporate investment.
We do not expect to see a double-dip recession, thanks in part to record low short-term interest rates and quantitative easing measures by the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”). Indeed, with inflationary pressures currently negligible, we do not expect the Fed to raise short-term interest rates anytime soon, and money market yields seem likely to stay near historical lows.We currently believe that there may be opportunities in the equity and bond markets, stemming from improved valuations, healthy corporate balance sheets, better-than-expected earnings and higher-yielding alternatives for those willing to assume a higher level of risk tolerance. But are these investments right for you? Talk with your financial advisor, who is best suited to discuss the appropriateness of such investments given your individual profile and to evaluate your portfolio to help determine whether your “liquid asset” allocations are appropriate given today’s market environment.
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.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010, as provided by Patricia A. Larkin, Senior Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010, Dreyfus U.S. Treasury Reserves’ Investor shares produced a yield of 0.00%, and Class R shares produced a yield of 0.00%. Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund’s Investor shares and Class R shares also produced effective yields of 0.00% and 0.00%, respectively.1
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with stability of principal.As a U.S.Treasury money market fund, we attempt to provide shareholders with an investment vehicle that is made up of Treasury bills and notes with remaining maturities of 13 months or less issued by the U.S. government, as well as repurchase agreements with securities dealers, which are backed by U.S.Treasuries.To pursue its goal, the fund invests exclusively in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and in repurchase agreements secured by these obligations.
Monetary Policy Unchanged in Muted Recovery
The reporting period began in the midst of an economic recovery fueled, in part, by an overnight federal funds rate that has remained unchanged since December 2008 in a historically low range between 0.00% and 0.25%. Indeed, the economic recovery appeared to remain on track as reflected by an annualized U.S. GDP growth rate of 5.0% during the fourth quarter of 2009.
While economic expansion in the first quarter moderated to a 3.7% annualized rate, it was encouraging news nonetheless for investors eager to see an end to the recession. In fact, job creation began to improve during the first quarter after many months of losses.
TheFund 3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Investors were further cheered in May, when 431,000 additional new jobs were created, although most were temporary government workers hired for the 2010 Census. However, the economic outlook soon took a turn for the worse when a sovereign debt crisis in Europe rattled investors, sparking heightened volatility in stock and bond markets. Indeed, U.S. industrial production appeared to moderate in June, and private-sector job growth proved more anemic than many analysts expected. U.S. GDP moderated to an annualized 1.7% rate during the second quarter, appearing to confirm renewed economic concerns.
Yet, in July, industrial production posted a relatively robust 1.0% gain after June’s mild setback, and the manufacturing and service sectors of the U.S. economy expanded for the twelfth and seventh consecutive months, respectively. On the other hand, total nonfarm payroll employment fell by 131,000 jobs in July, reflecting the end of temporary census hiring.
In August, sales of new homes fell to a 47-year low, while purchases of existing homes plummeted to a 15-year low. The unemployment rate rose to 9.6%, as only 67,000 jobs were created in the private sector during August. In September, the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the recession had ended in June 2009, but the ensuing recovery has been the slowest since World War II. Economic data released in September appeared to support the consensus view that economic recovery, while intact, remained uncertain; manufacturing activity continued to increase, but employment and housing data showed few, if any, signs of improvement. The U.S. Department of Commerce later estimated that U.S. GDP grew at a 2.5% annualized rate in the third quarter of 2010.
In response to the sluggish rebound, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) indicated in September that it would embark on a second round of quantitative easing of monetary policy by purchasing $600 million of U.S. Treasury securities. This move, which the Fed intends to begin implementing in November, is designed to fight deflationary forces and encourage lending by injecting more cash into the financial system.
4
Indeed, October brought better economic news. The private sector added 159,000 jobs during the month, with much of the gain coming from the services sector.The manufacturing sector also expanded, as new orders hit their highest level since May. However, housing markets continued to disappoint when issues regarding the banking industry’s foreclosure process muddied an already murky outlook for home values.
An Unwavering Focus on Liquidity
The economy’s developments had relatively little impact on the money markets.The low federal funds rate kept yields of U.S.Treasury bills near zero percent, and the yield curve remained very flat. Therefore, we maintained the fund’s weighted average maturity in a range that was roughly in line with industry averages.
Although the economic recovery may be gathering momentum, inflationary pressures have remained negligible. The subpar recovery has convinced many analysts that a shift to higher short-term interest rates is unlikely anytime soon. Therefore, we intend to maintain the fund’s focus on liquidity.

An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other | |
government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at | |
$1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. | |
Short-term corporate, asset-backed securities holdings, while rated in the highest rating | |
category by one or more NRSRO (or unrated, if deemed of comparable quality by | |
Dreyfus), involve credit and liquidity risks and risk of principal loss. | |
1 | Effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily and reinvested monthly. Past performance is |
no guarantee of future results.Yields fluctuate.Yields provided reflect 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, yields of the fund’s | |
Class R shares and Investor shares would have been lower, and in some cases, 7-day yields during | |
the reporting period would have been negative absent the expense absorption. |

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)
As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds.You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.
Review your fund’s expenses
The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus U.S.Treasury Reserves from May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES |
WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited) |
Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus U.S. Treasury Reserves (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series ofThe Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering ten series including the fund.The fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income consistent with stability of principal. 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 without a sales charge.The fund is authorized to issue 1 billion shares of $.001 par value Capital Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Investor and Class R. Investor shares are sold primarily to retail investors and bear a distribution fee. Class R shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus) acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no distribution fee. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the distribution fee and voting rights on matters affecting a single class. Income, expense s (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 for the fund; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do
14
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”) 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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities of sufficient credit quality are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the Board of Directors to represent the fair value of the fund’s investments.
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.
TheFund 15
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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. 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 October 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:
Short-Term | |
Valuation Inputs | Investments ($) |
Level 1—Unadjusted Quoted Prices | — |
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs | 312,648,494 |
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs | — |
Total | 312,648,494 |
† 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 investments represents amortized cost.
16
The fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the fund, through its custodian and sub-custodian, takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during the fund’s holding period.This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the fund’s holding period.The value of the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. In the event of a counterparty default, the fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the fund in the event the fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securitie s, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the fund seeks to assert its rights.The Manager, acting under the supervision of the Board of Directors, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the fund enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.
(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.
TheFund 17
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
As of and during the period ended October 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 October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 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 October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 were all ordinary income.
At October 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).
NOTE 2—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with the Manager, the Manager provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund.The Manager also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Manager a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .50% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, the Manager pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, service fees and expenses, fees and expenses of non-interested Directors (including counsel fees) and extraordi nary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested
18
Directors (including counsel fees). Prior to January 1, 2010, each Board member received $45,000 per year, plus $6,000 for each joint Board meeting of the Company, The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust, The Dreyfus/Laurel Tax-Free Municipal Funds, Dreyfus Investment Funds and Dreyfus Funds, Inc. (collectively, the “Board Group Open-End Funds”) attended, $2,000 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which were not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $1,500 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that were conducted by telephone. Effective January 1, 2010, the Board Group Open-End Funds pay each Board member who is not an “interested person” of the Company (as defined in the Act) $60,000 per annum, plus $7,000 per joint Board Group Open-End Funds Board meeting attended, $2,500 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which are not he ld in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $2,000 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that are conducted by telephone. The Board Group Open-End Funds also reimburse each Board member who is not an “interested person” of the Company (as defined in the Act) for travel and out-of-pocket expenses.With respect to Board meetings, the Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation (with the exception of reimbursable amounts). With respect to compensation committee meetings prior to January 1, 2010, the Chair of the compensation committee received $900 per compensation committee meeting. Effective January 1, 2010, the Chair of each of the Board’s committees, unless the Chair also serves as Chair of the Board, receives $1,350 per applicable committee meeting. In the event that there is an in-person joint committee meeting or a joint telephone meeting of the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus HighYield Strategies Fund, the $2,000 or $1,500 fee (prior to January 1, 2010) or the $2,500 or $2,000 fee (effective January 1, 2010), as applicable, is allocated between the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund. The Company’s portion of these fees and expenses are charged and allocated to each series based on net assets.
TheFund 19
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Amounts required to be paid by the Company directly to the non-interested Directors, that would be applied to offset a portion of the management fee payable to the Manager, are in fact paid directly by the Manager to the non-interested Directors.
The Manager has undertaken to reimburse expenses in the event that current yields drop below a certain level. Such limitation may fluctuate daily, is voluntary and not contractual and may be terminated at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $552,907 for Investor shares and $801,655 for Class R shares during the period ended October 31, 2010.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Investor shares may pay annually up to .25% (currently limited by the Company’s Board of Directors to .20%) of the value of the average daily net assets attributable to its Investor shares to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Investor shares. During the period ended October 31, 2010, Investor shares were charged $227,741 pursuant to the Plan.
Under its terms, the Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Plan.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $136,135 and Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $19,906, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $101,220.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Small Cap Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010.
Although a double-dip recession has recently become an increasingly unlikely scenario in our view, persistent uncertainty regarding the breadth and strength of the U.S. and global economic recoveries led to bouts of heightened volatility for U.S. stocks during most of 2010.The spending power of the U.S. consumer, long an important catalyst for economic growth, has been diminished by concerns over job security and an inability to generate cash from home equity.The second major driver of sustainable growth, corporate investment, has been stunted to a similar extent by tight credit conditions. However, the recent announcement of additional quantitative easing (QE2) measures by the Federal Reserve Board, as well as improved fundamentals across many developing nations, have helped support moderate global economic growth.
Uncertainty will probably remain in the broader financial markets until we see more evidence of robust economic growth, but we remain optimistic regarding the prospects for equities. Many stocks of quality companies with healthy balance sheets, higher credit ratings and strong cash flows appear to be currently priced at a discount.With that, we strongly suggest that you meet with your financial advisor to discuss the potential opportunities which may exist in the global markets, as well as to evaluate your portfolio to help meet your individual investment needs and your future goals relative to your risk-tolerance level.
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.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010, as provided by David A. Daglio, Primary Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010, Dreyfus Small Cap Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 23.97%, Class B shares returned 23.04%, Class C shares returned 23.15% and Class I shares returned 24.37%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 26.58%, and the fund’s previous benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, returned 24.43% for the same period.2 Stock markets proved volatile, but the Index ended the reporting period with substantial gains as the U.S. economy continued to emerge from rece ssion.The fund’s returns lagged its benchmark, primarily due to relative weakness in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors during the first few months of the reporting period. Following a thorough investment review by the new portfolio management team in February, the fund’s holdings were substantially repositioned.
Effective February 12, 2010, David A. Daglio became the fund’s primary portfolio manager, the fund’s name was changed to Dreyfus Small Cap Fund, and the Russell 2000 Index became the fund’s primary benchmark. Effective April 30, 2010, the fund also changed an investment policy and the fund’s market capitalization range.
Effective November 30, 2010, the fund closed to new investors, with certain exceptions.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks capital appreciation. To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks of small-cap companies within the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 at the time of purchase.We select stocks using a disciplined, “bottom-up” investment process that relies on proprietary fundamental research. Elements of the process include analysis of mid-cycle business prospects, estimation of the intrinsic value of the company and the identification of a revaluation trigger.The fund’s sector weightings and risk characteristics are a result of this bottom-up process and may vary from those of the benchmark at any given time.
TheFund 3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Stocks Buoyed by Gradual Economic Improvement
The U.S. economy grew modestly throughout the reporting period, fueling a stock market rally that persisted into April 2010.As is often the case in the wake of a recession, small-cap stocks outperformed their large-cap counterparts during the market’s advance. However, market conditions subsequently became more volatile when a number of global and domestic economic concerns intensified. After generally declining over the spring and summer, stocks rallied in the fall in anticipation of new monetary stimulus from the Federal Reserve Board.
Relative Performance Improved Under New Team
While the fund participated in the market’s rise from the start of the reporting period through February 2010, performance modestly trailed that of the Index, primarily due to relative weakness in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors. After the current management team took the reins in February, relative performance improved, enabling the fund to make up much of the ground it lost earlier to its benchmark.
The most prominent gains in relative performance after February 2010 came in the consumer discretionary sector. Retailers led the way, as Saks,AnnTaylor Stores and OfficeMax delivered higher same store sales and earnings. Media holdings, such as The Interpublic Group of Cos. and CBS Corp., saw an upturn in advertising revenues. Restaurant franchisers, such as AFC Enterprises and Brinker International, experienced a moderate increase in business as they focused on providing quick service and consumer-friendly prices.Automobile parts makers, such as Dana Holding and Modine Manufacturing, rose as automobile sales and industrial activity recovered.
The economic recovery also bolstered results from the industrial sector. Top performers included several vehicle component makers, including ArvinMeritor and WABCO Holdings. Airlines, such as United Continental Holdings and US Airways Group, benefited from increasing air traffic and an improved pricing environment. Notably strong performers in other sectors included two health care acquisition targets, Abraxis BioScience and King Pharmaceuticals, as well as specialty pharmaceutical developer Pain Therapeutics.Two technology holdings, Rovi andVishay Intertechnology, also posted strong gains.
Although the fund experienced relatively few disappointments after February 2010, most were concentrated in the capital markets area of the
4
financials sector. In particular, FBR Capital Markets,TradeStation Group and Janus Capital Group were hurt by short-term financial market uncer-tainties.The fund’s lack of exposure to richly valued metals-and-mining stocks in the materials sector also detracted from relative performance.
Positioned for Moderate but Sustained Recovery
Although economic uncertainties remain, we believe that recently strong levels of corporate profitability point toward continued, albeit mild, recovery. We have positioned the fund to benefit from this environment through overweighted exposure to attractively valued consumer discretionary and industrial stocks with stronger than expected fundamentals.Although we have continued to seek opportunities in the health care and technology sectors, the fund currently holds mildly underweighted exposure to both areas. The fund also holds relatively few materials stocks and real estate investment trusts in the financials sector, where valuations appear stretched.

Please note, the position in any security highlighted with italicized typeface was sold during the | |
reporting period. | |
Equity funds are subject generally to market, market sector, market liquidity, issuer and investment | |
style risks, among other factors, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the | |
fund’s prospectus. | |
Small companies carry additional risks because their earnings and revenues tend to be less | |
predictable and their share prices more volatile than those of larger, more established companies. | |
The shares of smaller companies tend to trade less frequently than those of larger, more | |
established companies, which can adversely affect the pricing of these securities and the fund’s | |
ability to sell these securities. | |

consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares, or the applicable | |
contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and Class C | |
shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no | |
guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, | |
fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Return figures provided reflect the | |
absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to an agreement in | |
effect until March 1, 2011. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s returns would have | |
been lower. | |

The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in each of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of |
Dreyfus Small Cap Fund on 10/31/00 to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell 2000 Value Index and the |
Russell 2000 Index on that date.All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested. |
Effective 2/12/2010, Dreyfus Small Cap Value Fund changed its name to Dreyfus Small Cap Fund. On this same |
date, the fund changed its benchmark from the Russell 2000 Value Index to the Russell 2000 Index. In future annual |
reports, the fund’s performance will no longer be compared to the Russell 2000 Value Index because the Russell 2000 |
Index is more reflective of the fund’s portfolio investment profile. |
The fund’s performance shown in the line graph takes into account the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares |
and all other applicable fees and expenses on all classes. Performance for Class B shares assumes the conversion of Class |
B shares to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year following the date of purchase.The Russell 2000 Value Index is |

Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Small Cap Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering ten series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.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.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors held on February 9, 2010, the Board approved, effective February 12, 2010, a proposal to change the name of the fund from “Dreyfus Small Cap Value Fund” to “Dreyfus Small Cap Fund”.
On July 29, 2010, the fund’s Board of Directors approved, effective November 30, 2010 to close the fund to new investors.
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 600 million shares of $.001 par value shares of Capital Stock.The fund currently offers four classes of shares: Class A (300 million shares authorized), Class B (100 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized) and Class I (100 million shares authorized). Class A, Class B and Class C shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear a distribution fee and/or service fee. Class A shares are sold with a front end sales charge, while Class B and Class C are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after six years.The fund does not offer Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank
22
trust departments and other financial services providers (including The Bank of NewYork Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, and its affiliates) acting on behalf of customers having a qualified or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no distribution or service fee. Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to distribution and service fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single 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.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available.
TheFund 23
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.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 (for example, a foreign exchange or market), 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 of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Depository Receipts and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair v alued by the Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered 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.
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.
24
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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:
Level 2—Other | Level 3— | |||
Level 1— | Significant | Significant | ||
Unadjusted | Observable | Unobservable | ||
Quoted Prices | Inputs | Inputs | Total | |

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as
TheFund 25
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the fund. No significant transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements occurred at October 31, 2010. The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.These new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.
(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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the funds policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit. The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to ret urn the securities in a timely manner. During the
26
period ended October 31, 2010, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $30,286 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
The fund may invest in shares of certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by Dreyfus. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2010 were as follows:

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and 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.
(e) 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
TheFund 27
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 October 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 October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: accumulated capital losses $142,947,337 and unrealized appreciation $4,045,460.
The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2010. If not applied, $76,700,778 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2016 and $66,246,559 expires in fiscal 2017.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 were as follows: ordinary income $691,305 and $1,599,568, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2010, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for real estate investment trusts and distributions in excess of taxable income, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $139,958, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $105,275 and decreased paid-in capital by $245,233. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.
NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $225 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York
28
Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing.
The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended October 31, 2010 was approximately $164,400, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.42%.
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with the Manager, the Manager provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund.The Manager also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Manager a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, the Manager pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest, commitment fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees and expenses, service fees, fees and expenses of non-interested Directors (including counsel f ees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). Prior to January 1, 2010, each Board member received $45,000 per year, plus $6,000 for each joint Board meeting of the Company,The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust, The Dreyfus/Laurel Tax-Free Municipal Funds, Dreyfus Investment Funds and Dreyfus Funds, Inc. (collectively, the “Board Group Open-End Funds”) attended, $2,000 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which were not held in conjunction with
TheFund 29
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $1,500 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that were conducted by telephone. Effective January 1, 2010, the Board Group Open-End Funds pay each Board member who is not an “interested person” of the Company (as defined in the Act) $60,000 per annum, plus $7,000 per joint Board Group Open-End Funds Board meeting attended, $2,500 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which are not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $2,000 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that are conducted by telephone.The Board Group Open-End Funds also reimburse each Board member who is not an “interested person” of the Company (as defined in the Act) for travel and out-of-pocket expenses.With respect to Board meetings, the Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation (wit h the exception of reimbursable amounts).With respect to compensation committee meetings prior to January 1, 2010, the Chair of the compensation committee received $900 per compensation committee meeting. Effective January 1, 2010, the Chair of each of the Board’s committees, unless the Chair also serves as Chair of the Board, receives $1,350 per applicable committee meeting. In the event that there is an in-person joint committee meeting or a joint telephone meeting of the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund, the $2,000 or $1,500 fee (prior to January 1, 2010) or the $2,500 or $2,000 fee (effective January 1, 2010), as applicable, is allocated between the Board Group Open-End Funds and Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund. The Company’s portion of these fees and expenses are charged and allocated to each series based on net assets.Amounts required to be paid by the Company directly to the non-interested Directors, that would be applied to offset a portion of the managem ent fee payable to the Manager, are in fact paid directly by the Manager to the non-interested Directors.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010.
Although a double-dip recession has recently become an increasingly unlikely scenario in our analysis, persistent uncertainty regarding the breadth and strength of the U.S. economic recovery has led to bouts of heightened volatility throughout many areas of the U.S. bond market during the past year. Higher yielding market sectors, such as corporate debt and commercial mortgages, as well as bonds from international debt markets have fared relatively well as investors seek competitive levels of income in a low interest-rate environment.
Uncertainty will probably remain in the broader financial markets until we see more robust economic growth, but we expect generally favorable influences in the bond market to persist for some time to come. Record low short-term interest rates, improving corporate balance sheets, and investors’ global search for income could continue to support prices of higher yielding bonds, especially if today’s economic concerns prove to be overstated.With that, we strongly suggest that you meet with your financial advisor to discuss the potential opportunities which may exist in the global investment universe, as well as to evaluate your portfolio to help meet your individual investment needs and your future goals relative to your risk-tolerance level.
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.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010, David Leduc and David Horsfall, Portfolio Managers
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010, Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class I shares produced total returns of 13.67%, 12.81% and 13.99%, respectively.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S.Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 8.01% for the same period.2
The U.S. bond market generally rallied amid heightened volatility as investors reacted to each new release of economic data. Performance was particularly strong later in the reporting period, when investors anticipated a new round of quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”).The fund produced higher returns than its benchmark, primarily due to the success of our sector allocation and interest rate strategies.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks to maximize total return through capital appreciation and income.To pursue this goal, we typically allocate the fund’s assets across four sectors of the fixed-income market: U.S. high yield bonds rated below investment grade; U.S. government, investment grade corporate and mortgage-backed securities; foreign debt securities of developed markets; and foreign debt securities of emerging markets.
Our analysis of top down quantitative and macroeconomic factors guides the allocation of assets among market sectors, industries and positioning along the yield curve. Using fundamental analysis, we seek to identify individual securities with high current income, as well as appreciation potential, based on relative value, credit upgrade probability and extensive research into the credit history and current financial strength of the securities’ issuers.
TheFund 3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Monetary Stimulus Boosted the Bond Market
The U.S. economy continued to recover from recession throughout the reporting period, but the pace of the expansion has been slower than historical averages. In addition, in the spring of 2010, investors responded cautiously to new economic concerns stemming from a sovereign debt crisis in Europe, as well as high unemployment and weak housing markets in the United States. In light of these ongoing challenges, the Fed left short-term interest rates unchanged in a historically low range between 0.00% and 0.25%.
Bonds encountered heightened volatility in this market environment. Higher yielding market sectors were buoyed early in the reporting period by expectations that conditions would improve for businesses and the housing market.These hopes were dashed for a time over the spring and summer of 2010, when renewed global instability kindled fears of a double-dip recession and sparked a “flight to quality” from higher yielding market sectors to U.S. government securities. Optimism returned to the market in the fall, when it became apparent that a double-dip recession was unlikely and investors looked forward to the Fed’s purchase of $600 billion of U.S. Treasury securities. Consequently, the U.S. bond market ended the reporting period with substantially positive total returns.
Allocation and Interest Rates Strategies Boosted Fund Returns
The fund received particularly positive contributions to relative performance from its holdings of high yield corporate bonds. Although the reporting period began with an emphasis on traditionally defensive market sectors and higher-quality securities, we shifted gradually toward a more constructive investment posture as we became increasingly comfortable with credit risks in the recovering economy, helping to boost the fund’s participation in better-performing segments of the high yield bond market.
Our interest rate strategies also added value, as we maintained a relatively long average duration and focused on the intermediate-term segment of the market’s maturity spectrum. These strategies enabled the fund to participate fully in the rally when longer-term interest rates declined in advance of the Fed’s quantitative easing program. Finally, the fund benefited from overweighted exposure to investment-grade corporate bonds, emerging-markets securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities
4
and foreign bonds denominated in local currencies.All of these higher yielding market sectors fared well as the economic outlook improved.
Security Selection Likely to Drive Future Performance
Although we expect the economic recovery to persist, we are aware that the U.S. bond prices may already reflect further economic improvement. At the same time, we expect the Fed to keep interest rates low for an extended period.While higher yielding market sectors remain attractively valued compared to historical norms, they are more fully valued than they were just a few months ago.
Therefore, we expect the bulk of the market’s returns over the foreseeable future to come from income, and we believe security selection will become a more important driver of the fund’s results. In our judgment, our ongoing emphasis on extensive credit research, combined with overweighted exposure to higher yielding market sectors, should position the fund well for a more selective market environment.

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 are subject to increased credit risk and are considered speculative in terms of the | |
issuer’s perceived ability to continue making interest payments on a timely basis and to repay | |
principal upon maturity. | |
The fund may use derivative instruments, such as options, futures and options on futures, forward | |
contracts, swaps (including credit default swaps on corporate bonds and asset-backed securities), | |
options on swaps and other credit derivatives.A small investment in derivatives could have a | |
potentially large impact on the fund’s performance.The use of derivatives involves risks different | |
from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets. | |
1 | Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into |
consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares, or the applicable | |
contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class C shares. Had these | |
charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. 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. Return figures provided reflect the absorption of | |
certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to an agreement in effect through | |
March 1, 2011, at which time it may be extended, modified or terminated. Had these expenses | |
not been absorbed, the fund’s returns would have been lower. | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering ten series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek maximize total return through capital appreciation and income. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary ofThe Bank of NewYork Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors held on July 29, 2010, the Board approved, effective October 29, 2010, a proposal to change the name of the fund from “Dreyfus Strategic Income Fund” to “Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund”.
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 300 million shares of $.001 par value Capital Stock.The fund currently offers three classes of shares: Class A (100 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized) and Class I (100 million shares authorized). Class A and Class C shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear a distribution fee and/or shareholder service fee. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge, while Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including The Bank of NewYork Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no distribution or shareholder service fees. Class I shares are offered
32
without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
As of October 31, 2010, MBC Investments Corp., an indirect subsidiary of BNY Mellon, held 632,291 Class A, 51,873 Class C and 54,150 Class I shares of the fund.
The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills), financial futures, options, swaps and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) 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
TheFund 33
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are valued as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Restricted securities, as well as securities or other assets for which recent market quotations are not readily available and are not valued by a pricing service approved by the Board of Directors, or are determined by the fund not to reflect accurately fair value, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.The factors that may be considered w hen fair valuing a security include 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. Short-term investments, excluding U.S.Treasury Bills, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates value. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. Financial futures and options, which are traded on an exchange, 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. Options traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean between the bid and asked price. Investments in swap transactions are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board of Directors. Swaps are valued by the service by using a swa p pricing model which incorporates among other factors, default probabilities, recovery rates, credit curves of the underlying issuer and swap spreads on interest rates. Investments denominated
34
in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward contracts are valued at the forward rate.
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).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about FairValue Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements
36
as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the fund. No significant transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements occurred at October 31, 2010. The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.
(b) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions between trade and settlement date, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments resulting from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency gains and losses on investments are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
(c) 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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
TheFund 37
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement withThe Bank of NewYork Mellon, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit.The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction.Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to r eturn the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended October 31, 2010,The Bank of NewYork Mellon earned $500 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
The fund may invest in shares of certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by Dreyfus. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2010 were as follows:

38
(e) Concentration of Risk: The fund invests primarily in debt securities. Failure of an issuer of the debt securities to make timely interest or principal payments, or a decline or the perception of a decline in the credit quality of a debt security, can cause the debt security’s price to fall, potentially lowering the fund’s share price. High yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater credit risk, including the risk of default, than investment grade bonds, and are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. In addition, the value of debt securities may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in outlook f or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry.
(f) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are declared and 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.
On October 29, 2010, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.052, $.045 and $.056 per share from undistributed investment income-net for Class A, Class C and Class I shares, respectively, payable on November 1, 2010 (ex-dividend date), to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 29, 2010.
TheFund 39
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(g) 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 October 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 October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $368,971, accumulated capital losses $132,118 and unrealized appreciation $2,280,818.
The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2010. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2017.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 were as follows: ordinary income $1,350,145 and $1,293,422, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2010, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for consent fees, paydowns gains and losses, amortization of premiums, foreign currency transactions and the treatment of swap periodic payments, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $176,002 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.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $225 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2010, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.
NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager and the Company, the Company has agreed to pay the Manager a management fee computed at the annual rate of .60% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.The Manager has contractually agreed to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume certain expenses of the fund, until March 1, 2011, so that fund expenses (exclusive of taxes, brokerage fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees, shareholder services fees, interest expense, commitment fees and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed an annual rate of .85% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $100,254 during the period ended October 31, 2010.
(b) Prior to January 1, 2010, each Board member received $45,000 per year, plus $6,000 for each joint Board meeting of the Company, The Dreyfus/Laurel Tax-Free Municipal Funds, The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust, Dreyfus Investment Funds and Dreyfus Funds, Inc. (collectively, the “Board Group Open-End Funds”) attended, $2,000 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which were not held in conjunction

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-
44
related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives, which are accounted for as “hedges” and those that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Because investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of Operations, they do not qualify for such accounting. Accordingly, even though a fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure. The following tables show the fund’s exposure to different types of market risk as it relates to the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations, respectively.

Futures Contracts: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including interest rate risk as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments.The fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market.A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a broker, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board
46
of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statement of Operations. Futures contracts are valued daily at the last sales price established by the Board of Trade or exchange upon which they are traded. When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with futures since futures are exchange traded, and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the futures against default. Contracts open at October 31, 2010 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
Options: The fund purchases and writes (sells) put and call options to hedge against changes in interest rates, foreign currencies, or as a substitute for an investment.The fund is subject to interest rate risk and currency risk in the course of pursuing its investment objectives through its investments in options contracts. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the writer to sell, the underlying security or securities at the exercise price at any time during the option period, or at a specified date. Conversely, a put option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to sell, and obligates the writer to buy the underlying security or securities at the exercise price at any time during the option period, or at a specified date.
As a writer of call options, the fund receives a premium at the outset and then bears the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instrument underlying the option. Generally, the fund realizes a gain, to the extent of the premium, if the price of the underlying financial instrument decreases between the date the option is written and the date on which the option is terminated. Generally, the fund incurs a loss, if the price of the financial instrument increases between those dates.
As a writer of put options, the fund receives a premium at the outset and then bears the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instrument underlying the option. Generally, the fund realizes
TheFund 47
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
a gain, to the extent of the premium, if the price of the underlying financial instrument increases between the date the option is written and the date on which the option is terminated. Generally, the fund incurs a loss, if the price of the financial instrument decreases between those dates.
As a writer of an option, the fund has no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.There is a risk of loss from a change in value of such options which may exceed the related premiums received. One risk of holding a put or a call option is that if the option is not sold or exercised prior to its expiration, it becomes worthless. However, this risk is limited to the premium paid by the fund. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.
The following summarizes the fund’s call/put options written for the period ended October 31, 2010:

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The fund enters into forward contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings, to settle foreign currency transactions or as a part of its investment strategy. When executing forward contracts, the fund is obligated to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future.
48
With respect to sales of forward contracts, the fund incurs a loss if the value of the contract increases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed.The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates.With respect to purchases of forward contracts, the fund incurs a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed.The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates. Any realized gain or loss which occurred during the period is reflected in the Statement of Operations.The fund is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund is also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on these forward contracts, which is typically limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract.The following summarizes open forward contracts at October 31, 2010:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Swaps: 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 manage 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 contracts on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Once the interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) on swaps, in addition to realized gain (loss) recorded upon the termination of swaps contracts 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 contract’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 contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap transactions.
Credit Default Swaps: Credit default swaps involve commitments to pay a fixed interest rate in exchange for payment if a credit event affecting a third party (the referenced company, obligation or index ) occurs. Credit events may include a failure to pay interest or principal, bankruptcy, or restructuring. The fund enters into these agreements to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which it is not otherwise exposed. For those credit default swaps in which the fund is
50
paying a fixed rate, the fund is buying credit protection on the instrument. In the event of a credit event, the fund would receive the full notional amount for the reference obligation. For those credit default swaps in which the fund is receiving a fixed rate, the fund is selling credit protection on the underlying instrument.The maximum payouts for these contracts are limited to the notional amount of each swap. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.At October 31, 2010, there were no credit default swap agreements outstanding.
GAAP requires disclosure for (i) the nature and terms of the credit derivative, reasons for entering into the credit derivative, the events or circumstances that would require the seller to perform under the credit derivative, and the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative, (ii) the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the seller could be required to make under the credit derivative, (iii) the fair value of the credit derivative, and (iv) the nature of any recourse provisions and assets held either as collateral or by third parties. All required disclosures have been made and are incorporated within the current period as part of the Notes to the Statement of Investments and disclosures within this Note.
At October 31, 2010, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $33,071,120; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $2,316,383, consisting of $2,514,804 gross unrealized appreciation and $198,421 gross unrealized depreciation.

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.
