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, 2011, through October 31, 2012. 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.
Despite heightened volatility, the U.S. bond market generally advanced over the reporting period as investors responded to encouraging macroeconomic developments throughout the world. Employment gains in the United States, credible measures to prevent a more severe banking crisis in Europe, and the likelihood of a “soft landing” for China’s economy buoyed investor sentiment, as did aggressively accommodative monetary policies from central banks in the United States, Europe, Japan and China. Consequently, riskier segments of the bond market gained value, while massive purchases of government securities by the Federal Reserve prevented yields of U.S. government securities from rising.
In light of the easy monetary policies adopted by many countries, we expect global growth to be slightly more robust in 2013 than in 2012.The U.S. economic recovery is likely to persist at subpar levels over the first half of the new year, as growth may remain constrained by uncertainties surrounding fiscal policy and tax reforms. However, successful resolution of the current fiscal debate may prompt corporate decision-makers to increase capital spending, which could have positive implications for the U.S. economy.As always, we encourage you to stay in touch with your financial advisor as new developments unfold.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012, as provided by Nancy G. Rogers, Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2012, Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund’s Investor shares produced a total return of 4.75%, and its BASIC shares produced a total return of 5.01%.1 In comparison, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”) achieved a total return of 5.25% for the same period.2
Monetary policy initiatives from the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) supported prices of U.S. government securities over the reporting period, and riskier market sectors gained value as the economic outlook improved.The fund produced returns that were lower than its benchmark.The difference in return 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.
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 approximately 7,800 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, 2012, the average duration of the fund was approximately five years.
Accommodative Policy Moves Bolstered Bond Prices
The reporting period began in the aftermath of major declines in global financial markets sparked by concerns about U.S. fiscal policy and an intensifying European financial crisis. Fortunately, better U.S. economic data and remedial measures from European policymakers soon stabilized most markets, positioning them to rally from

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
low valuations as macroeconomic news improved. Indeed, by the start of 2012 stocks and higher yielding bonds were climbing amid U.S. employment gains, quantitative easing in Europe, and less restrictive monetary and fiscal policies in key emerging markets.
New macroeconomic developments in the spring called the sustainability of the recovery into question. The U.S. labor market’s rebound slowed when the public sector shed jobs and the private sector’s employment gains proved more anemic than expected. Meanwhile, austerity measures in Europe encountered political resistance. These headwinds sparked a renewed flight to perceived safe havens, and riskier bonds gave back some of their previous gains while yields of U.S. government securities fell to multi-year lows. In addition, U.S. government securities received support from the Fed’s aggressively accommodative monetary policy, including “Operation Twist,” which sought to reduce long-term interest rates through purchases of long-term U.S. Treasury securities.
The Fed announced in September that it would take additional steps to stimulate employment growth. The central bank extended Operation Twist through year-end and launched a new round of quantitative easing involving purchases of up to $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities per month for an indefinite period of time. These announcements supported prices of U.S. government securities through the reporting period’s end, and higher yielding market sectors responded well to evidence of greater economic growth.
Higher Yielding Securities Led the Bond Market’s Advance
In this constructive market environment, the fund received strong performance contributions from commercial mortgage-backed securities as business conditions improved. Corporate-backed bonds produced double-digit returns, on average, as earnings remained strong and default rates stayed low. Mortgage-backed securities, which comprise the largest segment of the Index, fared well when the Fed’s stimulative programs boosted market liquidity and fueled robust demand for a limited number of securities. Although U.S. Treasury securities lagged higher yielding market sectors, they also gained a degree of value in response to the Fed’s efforts to reduce long-term interest rates.

Replicating the Index’s Composition
As of the reporting period’s end, we have been encouraged by better economic data and the resolution of some political uncertainties after the presidential election. However, like many investors, we remain concerned regarding economic uncertainty surrounding automatic federal tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled for early January 2013. If Congress successfully addresses the so-called fiscal cliff and the economic recovery continues to gain momentum, longer-term yields on U.S. government securities may rise from current levels.
As an index fund, we attempt to match closely the returns of the Index by approximating its composition.As of October 31, 2012, approximately 29% of the fund’s assets were invested in mortgage-backed securities, 2% in commercial mortgage-backed securities, 21% in corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, 36% in U.S. Treasury securities and 11% in U.S. government agency bonds. Moreover, all of the fund’s corporate securities were rated at least BBB- or better, and the fund has maintained an overall credit quality and duration posture that is closely aligned with that of the Index.
November 15, 2012
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.
Indexing does not attempt to manage market volatility, use defensive strategies or reduce the effects of any long-term periods of poor index performance.The correlation between fund and index performance may be affected by the fund’s expenses and use of sampling techniques, changes in securities markets, changes in the composition of the index and the timing of purchases and redemptions of fund shares.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.The fund’s performance shown in the graph and table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in each of the BASIC and Investor shares of Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund on 10/31/02 to a $10,000 investment made in the Barclays U.S.Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”) on that date.All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.
The fund’s performance shown in the line graph above takes into account all applicable fees and expenses for 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.

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 seeks 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 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.This hierarchy gives the highest priority to 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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value and are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
58
Investments in securities excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills) are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such 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 the following: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
U.S. Treasury Bills are valued at the mean price between quoted bid prices and asked prices by the Service. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Service’s procedures are reviewed by Dreyfus under the general supervision of the Board.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (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. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
issuers.These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2012 in valuing the fund’s investments:

At October 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
(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
60
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 return the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended October 31, 2012,The Bank of New York Mellon earned $183,256 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. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2012 were as follows:

(d) 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
The Fund | 61 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
lowering the fund’s share price. In addition, the value of debt securities may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment.They may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry.
(e) 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 monthly, 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.
(f) 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, 2012, 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, 2012 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
62
At October 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $1,319,339, undistributed capital gains $5,551,739 and unrealized appreciation $182,596,490.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 were as follows: ordinary income $76,324,107 and $76,870,168, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2012, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for paydown gains and losses on mortgage backed securities, amortization of premiums and consent fees, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $7,998,756 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. Effective October 10, 2012, the $225 million unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A., was decreased to $210 million. 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, 2012, was approximately $97,300 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.18%.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 .15% 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 expense, commitment fees on borrowings, Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan 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). During the period ended October 31, 2012, fees reimbursed by the Manager amounted to $150,786.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Investor shares may pay annually up to .25% of the value of its average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Investor shares. BASIC shares bear no distribution fee. During the period ended October 31, 2012, Investor shares were charged $2,472,510 pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
64
Under its terms, the Distribution Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation or in any agreement related to the Distribution Plan.
The components of “Due toThe Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $318,002 and Distribution Plan fees $219,175, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $14,174.
(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended October 31, 2012, amounted to $884,764,062 and $722,137,416, respectively.
At October 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,356,957,512; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $182,596,490, consisting of $183,554,102 gross unrealized appreciation and $957,612 gross unrealized depreciation.

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, 2011, through October 31, 2012. 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.
Despite pronounced stock market weakness during the spring of 2012, stocks generally advanced over the reporting period as investors responded to encouraging macroeconomic developments throughout the world. Employment gains in the United States, credible measures to prevent a more severe banking crisis in Europe, and the likelihood of a “soft landing” for China’s economy buoyed investor sentiment, as did aggressively accommodative monetary policies from central banks in the United States, Europe, Japan and China. Consequently, U.S. stocks across all capitalization ranges posted double-digit returns, on average, for the reporting period.
In light of the easy monetary policies adopted by many countries, we expect global growth to be slightly more robust in 2013 than in 2012.The U.S. economic recovery is likely to persist at subpar levels over the first half of the new year, as growth may remain constrained by uncertainties surrounding fiscal policy and tax reforms. However, successful resolution of the current fiscal debate may prompt corporate decision-makers to increase capital spending, which could have positive implications for the U.S. economy and domestic equity markets.As always, we encourage you to stay in touch with your financial advisor as new developments unfold.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the reporting period of November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012, as provided by Sean P. Fitzgibbon and Jeffrey McGrew, Portfolio Managers
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2012, Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund produced a total return of 11.95%.1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 15.19% for the same period.2
Improving economic fundamentals drove the U.S. stock market higher despite concerns regarding financial instability in Europe and slowing growth in China.The fund’s return lagged its benchmark, primarily due to shortfalls in the information technology, energy and consumer staples sectors.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks capital appreciation.To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in stocks focusing on large-cap companies.The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of growth and value stocks, with sector weightings and risk characteristics 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 portfolio of carefully selected stocks, with overall performance determined by a large number of securities.
Markets Reacted to Shifting Macroeconomic Developments
The reporting period began in the wake of major stock market declines, resulting in attractive valuations across a number of industry groups in November 2011. By the beginning of 2012, U.S. stocks were rallying amid domestic employment gains, a quantitative easing program in Europe that forestalled a more severe regional banking crisis, and less restrictive monetary and fiscal policies in China. Meanwhile, corporate earnings remained strong, and many companies had shored up their balance sheets. Consequently, investors grew more tolerant of risks, and were able to focus more on company fundamentals and less on macroeconomic developments.
The Fund | 3 |
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
These positive influences were called into question during the spring, when the U.S. labor market’s rebound slowed and measures designed to relieve fiscal pressures in Europe encountered resistance.The summer saw the market rally resume amid more encouraging economic news, and the S&P 500 Index ended the reporting period with solid gains.
Positioned for Growth, but Hurt by Volatility
We attempted to position the fund constructively at the start of the reporting period to benefit from the U.S. economic recovery while limiting its exposure to weakness overseas. While this approach produced significant gains during market rallies, the fund’s performance tended to lag market averages during downturns.
The fund achieved its strongest relative returns in the industrials sector, where electronic components manufacturer Cooper Industries and electric power products maker Thomas & Betts received attractive acquisition offers. General Electric reported improved profitability from its industrial and finance businesses, and machinery maker Cummins benefited from improving U.S. economic activity. In the materials sector, underweighted exposure to richly valued metals-and-mining stocks bolstered relative performance, as did an investment in chemicals producer LyondellBasell Industries, which reported strong revenues.Among health care companies, major pharmaceutical developers, such as Sanofi and Pfizer, delivered healthy gains. In the financials sector, consumer finance companies, including Discover Financial Services, contributed positively to the fund’s performance.
Two individual holdings in other areas also significantly enhanced the fund’s performance. Consumer electronics maker Apple, in which the fund held a significantly overweighted position, rose sharply on the strength of the company’s first ever dividend distribution and the success of its latest smartphone and tablet computer products. Fashion accessories retailer Michael Kors Holdings gained global traction with its product lines.
Despite the fund’s success with Apple, other information technology holdings detracted from relative performance.The most notable of these were videogame maker Electronic Arts, enterprise data systems providers NetApp and Informatica, online retailer Amazon.com, and semiconductor component maker Vishay Intertechnology. Returns

in the consumer staples sector also proved disappointing due to multinationals with exposure to struggling European and emerging markets, such as Unilever. Food packager Ralcorp Holdings was hurt by rising commodity prices, and the fund held no exposure to high-flying Wal-Mart Stores. Among our consumer discretionary holdings,Deckers Outdoor Corp. fell back when a mild winter resulted in disappointing sales growth for their Ugg boots and accessories. Finally, in the energy sector, exploration-and-production companies, such as National-Oilwell Varco and Anadarko Petroleum, sold off in response to falling oil prices.
Emphasizing Companies Positioned for Growth
While the European debt crisis and lingering concerns regarding an economic slowdown in the emerging markets may continue to fuel heightened market volatility, the U.S. economy has demonstrated moderate improvement. In addition, in our view stock valuations remain attractive compared to historical averages, and monetary policies throughout the world are aggressively stimulative, suggesting to us that global and domestic economic recoveries could potentially gain momentum in 2013.
Therefore, as of the reporting period’s end we have maintained overweighted exposure to the information technology, health care and industrials sectors. In contrast, the fund currently holds no exposure to utilities, where we believe valuations remain stretched, and underweighted exposure to consumer discretionary and consumer staples stocks.

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 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 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: 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
16
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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
Investments in securities are valued 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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. All of the preceding securities are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 financial futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2012 in valuing the fund’s investments:

(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 rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended October 31, 2012, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $22,982 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. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2012 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.
20
(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, 2012, 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, 2012 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $1,227,160, accumulated capital losses $10,902,784 and unrealized appreciation $94,459,189.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “2010 Act”), the fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Furthermore, post-enactment capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than short-term as they were under previous statute.The 2010 Act requires post-enactment losses to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred in taxable years prior to the effective date of the 2010 Act (“pre-enactment losses”).As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment losses may be more likely to expire unused.
The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2012. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal year 2017.
The Fund | 21 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011were as follows: ordinary income $4,696,883 and $4,114,223, respectively.
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. Effective October 10, 2012, the $225 million unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A., was decreased to $210 million. 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, 2012, was approximately $13,900 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.18%.
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 .90% 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 expense, commitment fees on borrowings, Distribution Plan fees, fees and expenses of non-interested Directors (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, Dreyfus is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s
22
allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). During the period then ended October 31, 2012, fees reimbursed by the Manager amounted to $29,507.
(b) Under the Distribution 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. During the period ended October 31, 2012, the fund was charged $521,485 pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
Under its terms, the Distribution Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of 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 Distribution Plan.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $406,583 and Distribution Plan fees $45,171, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $3,055.
(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended October 31, 2012, amounted to $367,539,420 and $415,030,817, respectively.
At October 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $439,159,599; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $94,459,189, consisting of $101,273,993 gross unrealized appreciation and $6,814,804 gross unrealized depreciation.

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, 2011, through October 31, 2012. 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.
Investors reacted sharply to macroeconomic developments throughout the world over the reporting period.A sluggish U.S. economy, the ongoing financial crisis in Europe, and slowdowns in key emerging markets weighed on stocks and higher yielding bonds early in the reporting period, but aggressively accommodative monetary policies from central banks in the United States, Europe, Japan and China subsequently lifted longer-term markets.
In light of the easy monetary policies adopted by many countries, we expect the U.S. economic recovery to persist at subpar levels over the first half of 2012, as growth may remain constrained by uncertainties surrounding fiscal policy and tax reforms. However, successful resolution of the current fiscal debate may prompt corporate decision-makers to increase capital spending, which could have positive implications for the U.S. economy and domestic equity markets. Nonetheless, the Federal Reserve Board has reiterated its intention to keep rates low at least through mid-2015, suggesting that substantially higher money market yields are unlikely anytime soon. As always, we encourage you to stay in touch with your financial advisor as new developments unfold.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012, as provided by Patricia A. Larkin, Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2012, 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
Yields of money market instruments remained near historical lows throughout the reporting period as the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) left short-term interest rates unchanged amid sluggish economic growth.
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 dollar-denominated debt securities, including: securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest 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 thrifts or their subsidiaries or branches; repurchase agreements, including tri-party agreements; asset-backed securities; domestic and foreign commercial paper; and other short-term corporate obligations, including those with floating or variable rates of interest.
U.S. Economy Recovered Slowly
The reporting period began in the aftermath of steep market declines stemming from macroeconomic developments in the United States, Europe, and China. However, investor sentiment was soon bolstered by better U.S. economic data, including accelerating manufacturing activity and drops in the unemployment rate to 8.7% in November and 8.5% in December. Meanwhile, consumer confidence rose, contributing to a 4.1% annualized economic growth rate over the fourth quarter of 2011.
The Fund | 3 |
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
The recovery appeared to gain traction in early 2012 when the unemployment rate slid to 8.3% amid a gain of 243,000 jobs in January and another 233,000 jobs in February. Despite a decrease to 120,000 new jobs in March, the unemployment rate inched lower to 8.2%. However, cuts in government spending dampened GDP growth to a 2.0% annualized rate over the first quarter of 2012.
The expansion appeared to moderate in April.The unemployment rate fell to 8.1%, but only 77,000 jobs were added. May brought another month of subpar job creation and an uptick in the unemployment rate to 8.2%. Moreover, the European debt crisis intensified when proposed austerity measures encountered political resistance. The manufacturing sector contracted in June for the first time in three years, but U.S. housing prices climbed for the first time in seven months. For the second quarter of 2012, U.S. economic growth slowed to a 1.3% annualized rate.
The economy added 181,000 jobs in July, but the unemployment rate rose to 8.3% as more people entered the workforce. Manufacturing activity contracted for the second straight month. August saw higher sales and prices in U.S. housing markets, an 8.1% unemployment rate, and higher personal income and expenditures. Corporate earnings proved healthier than expected, as a majority of companies met analysts’ earnings targets.
The economic recovery seemed to gain traction in September with the addition of 148,000 new jobs and a sharp drop in the unemployment rate to 7.8%, its lowest level since January 2009.The manufacturing sector rebounded after three months of modest declines, and the service sector posted its 33rd consecutive month of expansion. In the housing market, sales prices reached their highest levels in approximately five years. However, many economists, investors and business executives grew increasingly concerned that a gridlocked Congress might not reach agreement on ways to prevent automatic tax hikes and spending reductions scheduled for early 2013. It later was announced that the U.S. economy grew at a 2.0% annualized rate during the third quarter of 2012.
The unemployment rate ticked higher in October to 7.9% as more workers joined the labor force, and 184,000 private sector jobs were added during the month. Manufacturing activity increased at a faster rate in October than in September, and home prices posted modest gains, suggesting that the gradual U.S. economic recovery remained intact.

Rates Likely to Stay Low
As has been the case for some time, money market yields hovered near zero percent throughout the reporting period. In addition, yield differences along the market’s maturity spectrum remained relatively narrow, so it made little sense to incur the additional risks that longer-dated securities typically entail.
We maintained the fund’s weighted average maturity in a position that was roughly in line with market averages, and we focused on well-established issuers that historically have demonstrated good liquidity characteristics.
In August, the Fed announced additional measures to boost employment and stimulate growth, including an extension of Operation Twist, a new round of quantitative easing and the likelihood that short-term interest rates would remain near historical lows at least until mid-2015. Therefore, we intend to maintain the fund’s focus on 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 NRSROs (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. |

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 Money Market Reserves from May 1, 2012 to October 31, 2012. 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 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 Plan 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, and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution Plan fee. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the Distribution Plan fee 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.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined by procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
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.
16
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 within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2012 in valuing the fund’s investments:
Short-Term | |
Valuation Inputs | Investments ($)† |
Level 1—Unadjusted Quoted Prices | — |
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs | 245,026,556 |
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs | — |
Total | 245,026,556 |
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations. |
At October 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Fund | 17 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(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.
(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.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2012, 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, 2012 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2012, 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, 2012 and October 31, 2011 were all ordinary income.
18
At October 31, 2012, 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 an 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, Distribution Plan 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). During the period ended October 31, 2012, fees reimbursed by the Manager amounted to $17,989.
The Manager has undertaken to waive receipt of the management fee and/or reimburse operating expenses in order to facilitate a daily yield at or above a certain level which may change from time to time.This undertaking is voluntary and not contractual, and may be terminated at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $909,320 for Investor shares and $171,606 for Class R shares during the period ended October 31, 2012.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Investor shares may pay annually up to .25% (currently limited by the Board to .20%) of the value of the average daily net assets attributable to its Investor shares to compensate the Distributor
The Fund | 19 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We present to you this annual report for Dreyfus AMT-Free Municipal Reserves, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012. 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.
Investors reacted sharply to macroeconomic developments throughout the world over the reporting period.A sluggish U.S. economy, the ongoing financial crisis in Europe, and slowdowns in key emerging markets weighed on stocks and higher yielding bonds early in the reporting period, but aggressively accommodative monetary policies from central banks in the United States, Europe, Japan and China subsequently lifted longer-term markets.
In light of the easy monetary policies adopted by many countries, we expect the U.S. economic recovery to persist at subpar levels over the first half of 2012, as growth may remain constrained by uncertainties surrounding fiscal policy and tax reforms. However, successful resolution of the current fiscal debate may prompt corporate decision-makers to increase capital spending, which could have positive implications for the U.S. economy and domestic equity markets. Nonetheless, the Federal Reserve Board has reiterated its intention to keep rates low at least through mid-2015, suggesting that substantially higher money market yields are unlikely anytime soon. As always, we encourage you to stay in touch with your financial advisor as new developments unfold.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012, as provided by Joseph Irace, Senior Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2012, Dreyfus AMT-Free Municipal Reserves’ BASIC shares produced a yield of 0.00%, Class B shares produced a yield of 0.00%, Class R shares produced a yield of 0.00% 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 0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00% and 0.00%, respectively, for the same period.1
The U.S. economy continued to recover slowly over the reporting period, producing heightened volatility in many financial markets. However, yields of tax-exempt money market instruments remained stable near zero percent as the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) left short-term interest rates unchanged at historically low levels.
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 short-term, high-quality municipal obligations that provide income exempt from federal personal income tax and 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.
Economic Sentiment Improved, but Yields Remained Low
The reporting period began in the wake of an unprecedented downgrade of one rating agency’s assessment of long-term U.S. government securities. This development, together with a worsening sovereign debt crisis in Europe, triggered steep declines among longer-term financial assets in the weeks prior to the reporting period, while traditional safe havens such as U.S. government securities gained substantial value.
The Fund | 3 |
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Fortunately, employment gains and other encouraging U.S. economic news soon helped alleviate investors’ worries, as the European Union took steps to address a persistent debt crisis and the U.S. unemployment rate dropped sharply. Although disappointing U.S. economic data and renewed concerns in Europe during the spring of 2012 temporarily reduced expectations for a more robust recovery, the U.S. and global economies appeared to strengthen over the summer. Despite these shifts in the economic outlook, the Fed maintained the monetary policy stance it first established in December 2008, leaving the overnight federal funds rate in a range between 0% and 0.25%. Consequently, municipal money market yields remained near zero percent throughout the reporting period.
The market also was influenced by changing supply-and-demand dynamics. Demand for municipal money market instruments proved robust throughout the reporting period. Narrow yield differences along the market’s maturity range and high after-tax yields compared to taxable money market instruments attracted individual investors as well as institutions that typically participate in taxable and longer-term bond markets. Meanwhile, the supply of newly issued tax-exempt money market instruments remained relatively steady as banks with strong credit characteristics benefited from low financing rates. Consequently, yields ofVRDNs stayed within a relatively narrow range over the reporting period.
In general, municipal credit quality has continued to improve as states and local governments have recovered slowly from the recession. In particular, state general funds have shown consecutive quarters of growth in personal income tax and sales tax revenue, both important sources of revenue.
A Credit-Conscious Investment Posture
We have continued to maintain a careful and well-researched approach to credit selection. During the reporting period, we emphasized state general obligation bonds; essential service revenue bonds issued by water, sewer and electric enterprises; and certain local credits from issuers with strong financial positions and stable tax
4
bases. We generally shied away from instruments issued by localities that depend heavily on state aid. We also maintained a conservative position regarding interest rates, setting the fund’s weighted average maturity in a range that was roughly in line with industry averages.
Outlook Clouded by Ongoing Economic Uncertainty
We are cautiously optimistic regarding the prospects for economic growth. Strains in the global financial markets have continued to pose significant challenges, but the Fed expects a moderate pace of U.S. economic growth and a gradually declining unemployment rate. In addition, the Fed signaled that it is prepared to maintain short-term interest rates near current levels until 2015, and it has taken further action to stimulate economic growth, including an extension of “Operation Twist” and a new round of quantitative easing.With money market yields likely to remain near historical lows for some time, we believe that the prudent course continues to be an emphasis on preservation of capital and liquidity.
November 15, 2012
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.
Municipal securities holdings (as applicable), while rated in the highest rating category by one or more National Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs) (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.Yield provided reflects the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus |
Corporation pursuant to an undertaking in effect that may be extended, terminated or modified at any time. Had |
these expenses not been absorbed, 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, 2012 to October 31, 2012. 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, 2012
Investor Shares | Class R Shares | BASIC Shares | Class B Shares | |
Expenses paid per $1,000† | $1.61 | $1.61 | $1.61 | $1.61 |
Ending value (after expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 |
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, 2012
Investor Shares | Class R Shares | BASIC Shares | Class B Shares | |
Expenses paid per $1,000† | $1.63 | $1.63 | $1.63 | $1.63 |
Ending value (after expenses) | $1,023.53 | $1,023.53 | $1,023.53 | $1,023.53 |
† Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .32% for Investor Shares, .32% for Class R Shares, |
.32% for BASIC Shares and .32% for Class B Shares, multiplied by the average account value over the period, |
multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year 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 Plan fee. Class B shares also bear a Shareholder Services Plan fee. BASIC shares are offered to any investor and bear no Distribution Plan or Shareholder Services Plan 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, and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution Plan or Shareholder Services Plan fee. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the Distribution Plan fee, Shareholder Services Plan 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.
28
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 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 amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined by procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
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
The Fund | 29 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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. 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 within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2012 in valuing the fund’s investments:
Short-Term | |
Valuation Inputs | Investments ($)† |
Level 1—Unadjusted Quoted Prices | — |
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs | 360,771,963 |
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs | — |
Total | 360,771,963 |
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations. |
At October 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
30
(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.
(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, 2012, 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, 2012 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
The Fund | 31 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
At October 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “2010 Act”), the fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Furthermore, post-enactment capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than short-term as they were under previous statute.The 2010 Act requires post-enactment losses to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred in taxable years prior to the effective date of the 2010 Act (“pre-enactment losses”).As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment losses may be more likely to expire unused.
The accumulated capital loss carryover of $2,231 is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2012. If not applied, $1,565 of the carryover expires in fiscal year 2015 and $666 expires in fiscal year 2016.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 were all tax-exempt income.
At October 31, 2012, 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
32
and paid monthly, at an 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, Distribution Plan fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees and expenses, 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). During the period ended October 31, 2012, fees reimbursed by the Manager amounted to $42,531.
The Manager has undertaken to waive receipt of the management fee and/or reimburse operating expenses in order to facilitate a daily yield at or above a certain level which may change from time to time.This undertaking is voluntary and not contractual, and may be terminated at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $126,793 for Investor shares, $142,336 for Class R shares, $35,620 for BASIC shares and $1,697,007 for Class B shares during the period ended October 31, 2012.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Investor shares and Class B shares may pay annually up to .25% of the value of their average daily net assets (Investor shares are currently limited by the Board 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, 2012, Investor shares and Class B shares were charged $61,093 and $596,596, respectively, pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, 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 per-
The Fund | 33 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
sonal 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 Shareholder Services Plan, the Distributor may enter into Shareholder Services Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Service Agents and make payments to Service Agents in respect of these services. During the period ended October 31, 2012, Class B shares were charged $596,596, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
The Company and the Distributor may suspend or reduce payments under the Shareholder Services Plan at any time, and payments are subject to the continuation of the Shareholder Services 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 Shareholder Services Plan.
Under its terms, the Distribution Plan and Shareholder Services 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 Distribution Plan and Shareholder Services Plan.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $155,053, Distribution Plan fees $57,673 and Shareholder Services Plan fees $52,934, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $173,075.
(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
34
NOTE 3—Securities Transactions:
The fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the fund from or to another fund or portfolio that are, or could be, considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common Directors and/or common officers, complies with Rule 17a-7 under the Act. During the period ended October 31, 2012, the fund engaged in purchases and sales of securities pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the Act amounting to $286,855,000 and $297,150,000, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.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, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also 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.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for DreyfusTax Managed Growth Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012. 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.
Despite pronounced stock market weakness during the spring of 2012, stocks generally advanced over the reporting period as investors responded to encouraging macroeconomic developments throughout the world. Employment gains in the United States, credible measures to prevent a more severe banking crisis in Europe, and the likelihood of a “soft landing” for China’s economy buoyed investor sentiment, as did aggressively accommodative monetary policies from central banks in the United States, Europe, Japan and China. Consequently, U.S. stocks across all capitalization ranges posted double-digit returns, on average, for the reporting period.
In light of the easy monetary policies adopted by many countries, we expect global growth to be slightly more robust in 2013 than in 2012.The U.S. economic recovery is likely to persist at subpar levels over the first half of the new year, as growth may remain constrained by uncertainties surrounding fiscal policy and tax reforms. However, successful resolution of the current fiscal debate may prompt corporate decision-makers to increase capital spending, which could have positive implications for the U.S. economy and domestic equity markets.As always, we encourage you to stay in touch with your financial advisor as new developments unfold.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012, 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, 2012, Dreyfus Tax Managed Growth Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 12.10%, Class C shares returned 11.19% and Class I shares returned 12.33%.1 For the same period, the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), produced a 15.19% total return.2
Despite bouts of volatility, stocks generally advanced over the reporting period as global and domestic economic conditions gradually improved.The fund produced lower returns than its benchmark, mainly due to shortfalls in the energy sector.
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.
Markets Reacted to Shifting Macroeconomic Developments
The reporting period began in the wake of major stock market declines, resulting in attractive valuations in a number of market sectors in November 2011. By the beginning of 2012, U.S. stocks were rallying amid encouraging macroeconomic developments, including domestic employment gains, a quantitative easing program in Europe that forestalled a more severe regional banking crisis, and less restrictive monetary and fiscal policies in China. Meanwhile, corporate earnings remained

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
strong, and many companies had shored up their balance sheets. Consequently, investors grew more tolerant of risks, focusing more on company fundamentals and less on macroeconomic developments.
These positive influences were called into question during the spring, when the U.S. labor market’s rebound slowed and measures designed to relieve fiscal pressures in Europe encountered resistance.The summer saw the market rally resume amid more encouraging economic news, and the S&P 500 Index ended the reporting period with solid gains. Large, dividend-paying stocks tended to hold up well during downturns, but riskier investments fared better during rallies and for the reporting period overall.
Stock Selections Produced Mixed Results
Although the fund participated significantly in the market’s overall gains, its relative performance was undermined by its overweighted position in the energy sector, where a sluggish global economy pressured large, integrated oil producers. In addition, Occidental Petroleum was hurt by delays in developing certain domestic oilfields.
Performance of certain consumer discretionary stocks also constrained the fund’s results. Casual dining giant McDonald’s was hurt by lower same-store sales comparisons, and Brazilian fast food franchisee Arcos Dorados Holdings, Cl.A struggled in a slower local economy.Although underweighted exposure to the financials sector had helped the fund over much of 2011, it proved counterproductive during the reporting period when banks and other financial institutions rallied. Meanwhile, semiconductor makers Intel and Texas Instruments encountered weakness in the midst of a slower economic environment.
The fund achieved better results in other areas. Among the fund’s information technology holdings, electronics innovator Apple continued to score impressive success with its tablet computer and smartphone products.The consumer staples sector was buoyed by overweighted sector exposure and successful stock selections. For example, Philip Morris International attracted investors with strong cash flows and a generous dividend yield, luxury goods purveyor Estee Lauder Companies, Cl. A saw greater demand from higher-end consumers, and U.S. tobacco company Altria Group

reported lower costs and improved pricing power. In the utilities sector, the fund’s lack of holdings helped it avoid general weakness in the market segment.Among individual stocks, pharmaceutical developer Novo Nordisk, ADR benefited from a robust new product pipeline and rising demand for its diabetes drugs.
Stocks Could Move Higher Amid Volatility
While the U.S. economy has shown signs of moderate improvement, we believe that the European debt crisis and lingering concerns regarding an economic slowdown in the emerging markets may continue to fuel heightened market volatility. However, stock valuations remain attractive compared to historical averages, corporate earnings generally are robust, and monetary policies throughout the world are aggressively stimulative, suggesting that global and domestic economic recoveries could gain momentum in 2013.
In light of these factors, we made a number of changes to the portfolio over the reporting period, including additions in the energy, health care, consumer staples and information technology sectors, and eliminations in the aerospace/defense and food processing industries.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Tax Managed Growth 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 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 the 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 three classes of shares: Class A (300 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized) and Class I (100 million shares authorized). Class A and Class C shares are and Class B shares were sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear a distribution fee and/or services fee. Class A shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class I 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, and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution or Services Plan fees. Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved, effective as of the close of business on March 13, 2012, the transfer of shares authorized from Class B to Class A shares. Class B shares were subject to a CDSC
20
imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically converted to Class A shares after six years.The fund no longer offers Class B shares. Effective March 13, 2012, all outstanding Class B shares were automatically converted to Class A shares. 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.
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 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: 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).
The Fund | 21 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
Investments in securities are valued 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.
22
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. All of the preceding securities are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 financial futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange.
The Fund | 23 |

† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations. |
At October 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
(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 also 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.
24
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, 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 return the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended October 31, 2012,The Bank of New York Mellon earned $14,514 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. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2012 were as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(e) 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”). Effective March 31, 2012, dividends from investment income-net were declared and paid quarterly and dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, were declared and paid annually. 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.
(f) 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, 2012, 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, 2012 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $520,861, accumulated capital losses $2,537,302 and unrealized appreciation $38,039,367.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “2010 Act”), the fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Furthermore, post-enactment capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-
26
term capital losses rather than short-term as they were under previous statute.The 2010 Act requires post-enactment losses to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred in taxable years prior to the effective date of the 2010 Act (“pre-enactment losses”).As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment losses may be more likely to expire unused.
The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2012. If not applied, $917,916 of the carryover expires in fiscal year 2017 and $1,619,386 expires in fiscal year 2018.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 were as follows: ordinary income $2,546,029 and $1,274,175, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2012, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for foreign currency gains and losses, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $58 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. Effective October 31, 2012, the $225 million unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A., was decreased to $210 million. 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, 2012, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

(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 expenses, commitment fees on borrowings, Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan fees and Service Plan expenses, fees and expenses of non-interested Directors (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. 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). During the period ended October 31, 2012, fees reimbursed by the Manager amounted to $12,528.
Pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between Dreyfus and Sarofim & Co., Dreyfus pays Sarofim & Co. a monthly fee at an annual rate of .2175% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.
During the period ended October 31, 2012, the Distributor retained $28,737 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $15 from CDSCs on redemptions of the fund’s Class B shares.
(b) Under separate Distribution Plans adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Distribution Plan”) under the Act, Class A shares may pay annually up to .25% of the value of its average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Class B shares paid and Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an aggregate annual rate of .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. Class B and Class C shares are also subject to a service plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Service Plan”),
28
under which Class B shares paid and Class C shares pay the Distributor for providing certain services to the holders of their shares a fee at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. During the period ended October 31, 2012, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $314,375, $1,715 and $193,577, respectively, pursuant to their Distribution Plan. During the period ended October 31, 2012, Class B and Class C shares were charged $572 and $64,526, respectively, pursuant to the Service Plan.
Under their terms, the Distribution Plan and Service Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of 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 Distribution Plan or Service Plan.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $169,050, Distribution Plans fees $47,176 and Service Plan fees $6,307, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $1,219.
(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended October 31, 2012, amounted to $56,669,817and $17,497,320, respectively.
At October 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $145,642,437; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $38,039,367, consisting of $44,365,371 gross unrealized appreciation and $6,326,004 gross unrealized depreciation.

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, 2011, through October 31, 2012. 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.
Despite pronounced stock market weakness during the spring of 2012, stocks generally advanced over the reporting period as investors responded to encouraging macroeconomic developments throughout the world. Employment gains in the United States, credible measures to prevent a more severe banking crisis in Europe, and the likelihood of a “soft landing” for China’s economy buoyed investor sentiment, as did aggressively accommodative monetary policies from central banks in the United States, Europe, Japan and China. Consequently, U.S. stocks across all capitalization ranges posted double-digit returns, on average, for the reporting period.
In light of the easy monetary policies adopted by many countries, we expect global growth to be slightly more robust in 2013 than in 2012.The U.S. economic recovery is likely to persist at subpar levels over the first half of the new year, as growth may remain constrained by uncertainties surrounding fiscal policy and tax reforms. However, successful resolution of the current fiscal debate may prompt corporate decision-makers to increase capital spending, which could have positive implications for the U.S. economy and domestic equity markets.As always, we encourage you to stay in touch with your financial advisor as new developments unfold.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012, as provided by Thomas J. Durante, CFA, Karen Q.Wong, CFA, and Richard A. Brown, CFA, Portfolio Managers
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2012, Dreyfus BASIC S&P 500 Stock Index Fund produced a total return of 15.00%.1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, produced a 15.19% return for the same period.2,3
Despite bouts of heightened volatility, U.S. large-cap stocks generally advanced over the reporting period as domestic and global macroeconomic conditions gradually improved.The difference in returns between the fund and the S&P 500 Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in the S&P 500 Index’s results.
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 weightings. 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.
Markets Reacted to Shifting Macroeconomic Developments
The reporting period began in the wake of major stock market declines, resulting in attractive valuations across a number of market sectors in November, 2011. By the beginning of 2012, U.S. stocks were rallying strongly amid encouraging macroeconomic developments, including domestic employment gains, a quantitative easing program in Europe that forestalled a more severe regional banking crisis, and less restrictive monetary and fiscal policies in China as local inflationary pressures waned. Meanwhile, corporate earnings generally remained strong among major corporations, and many companies had shored up their balance sheets. Consequently, investors grew more tolerant of risks, and were able to focus more on company fundamentals and less on the latest news headlines.
The Fund | 3 |
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
These positive influences were called into question during the spring, when the U.S. labor market’s rebound slowed, uncertainty intensified regarding the future of U.S. fiscal policy, and measures designed to relieve fiscal pressures in Europe encountered political resistance in some countries.The summer saw the market rally resume amid more encouraging economic news, including a falling U.S. unemployment rate and the apparent start of a recovery in domestic housing markets.As a result, the S&P 500 Index ended the reporting period with solid gains, and all ten of its economic sectors posted positive absolute returns. In addition, large-cap stocks generally produced higher returns than their small- and midcap counterparts.
Financial, Health Care and Technology Stocks Led the Market Higher
The U.S. stock market’s advance was supported by robust returns from the financials sector, which rebounded from relatively depressed levels. Commercial banks reported improved earnings amid reduced regulatory uncertainty, recovering housing markets and higher lending volumes. Insurance companies also fared relatively well due to their ability to bolster revenues through price increases greater than the rate of inflation. In the health care sector, large pharmaceutical developers gained value as they diversified their business lines to cushion the potential impact of expiring patents on blockbuster drugs. In a related development, some biotechnology firms were the targets of acquisition offers from larger drug companies seeking new products, lifting stock prices throughout the industry.
The information technology sector also produced strong relative results, led by the S&P 500 Index’s largest individual component, electronics innovator Apple, which continued to score impressive success with its smartphone and tablet computer products. In addition, a number of large technology providers benefited from a growing presence in the emerging markets, while software and service providers encountered higher levels of domestic consumer spending and increased retail traffic.
The materials sector achieved less robust gains during the reporting period, as iron ore producers and steelmakers were hurt by lower commodity prices stemming from slackening demand for construction materials from China and other emerging markets.
4
Returns from the energy sector were dampened by equipment providers as historically low natural gas prices led to a slowdown in drilling activity. Finally, makers of semiconductors used in televisions, personal computers and industrial applications suffered due to soft economic conditions in key European and Asian markets.
The fund successfully employed stock index futures over the reporting period to increase exposure to large-cap stocks during periods of cash inflows.
Macroeconomic Headwinds Remain
Although we have been encouraged recently by positive U.S. economic developments, we believe that heightened market volatility is likely to persist in the face of ongoing global challenges.We have continued to monitor the fund’s investments in light of current market conditions. In our experience, the fund’s broadly diversified portfolio may help limit the impact on the overall portfolio of unexpected losses in individual sectors or holdings.

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, 2012
Expenses paid per $1,000† | $ | 1.02 |
Ending value (after expenses) | $ | 1,024.13 |
† Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .20%, multiplied by the average account value over the |
period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). |

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 seeks 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 charge.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
30
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
Investments in securities are valued 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
The Fund | 31 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. All of the preceding securities are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
U.S. Treasury Bills are valued at the mean price between quoted bid prices and asked prices by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Service’s procedures are reviewed by Dreyfus under the general supervision of the Board.
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 financial futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 depending on the relevant inputs used.
32
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Financial futures, 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.These securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2012 in valuing the fund’s investments:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(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 rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended October 31, 2012, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $41,098 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. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2012 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.
(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, 2012, 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, 2012 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
The Fund | 35 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
At October 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $7,937,438, accumulated capital losses $9,416,457 and unrealized appreciation $283,355,888.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “2010 Act”), the fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Furthermore, post-enactment capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than short-term as they were under previous statute.The 2010 Act requires post-enactment losses to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred in taxable years prior to the effective date of the 2010 Act (“pre-enactment losses”).As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment losses may be more likely to expire unused.
The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2012. If not applied, $3,024,265 of the carryover expires in fiscal year 2017, $6,259,621 expires in fiscal year 2018 and $132,571 expires in fiscal year 2019.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 were as follows: ordinary income $22,363,506 and $18,338,879, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2012, 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 income-net by $142,720 and increased 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.
(f) New Accounting Pronouncement: In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement
36
users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position.They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition,ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.
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. Effective October 10, 2012, the $225 million unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A., was decreased to $210 million. 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, 2012, 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 the Manager, the Manager provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, cus-
The Fund | 37 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
tody, 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 an 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 expenses, 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). During the period ended October 31, 2002, fees reimbursed by the Manager amounted to $71,003.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $232,606, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $7,683.
(b) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
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, 2012, amounted to $146,199,743 and $39,616,908, respectively.
Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended October 31, 2012 is discussed below.
Financial Futures: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including equity price risk, as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments.
38
The fund invests in financial futures in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A financial futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a counterparty, which consist of cash or cash equivalents.The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change.Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statement of Operations.When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss which is reflected in the Statement of Operations.There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with financial futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the financial futures against default. Financial futures open at October 31, 2012 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
The following summarizes the average market value of derivatives outstanding during the period ended October 31, 2012:
Average Market Value ($) | |
Equity financial futures | 33,714,263 |
At October 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,091,198,906; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $283,355,888, consisting of $417,973,675 gross unrealized appreciation and $134,617,787 gross unrealized depreciation.
NOTE 5—Pending Legal Matters:
The fund and more than two hundred other entities have been named as defendants in two litigations pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Americas, et al. v. Adaly Opportunity Fund TD Secs. Inc., et al., No. 11-cv-04784 and Niese, et al. v. AllianceBernstein L.P., et al., No. 11-cv-04538) against shareholders of the Tribune Company who
The Fund | 39 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
received payment for their shares in June or December 2007, as part of a leveraged buyout of the company (the “LBO”). Approximately one year after the LBO was concluded, the Tribune Company filed for bankruptcy. Thereafter, in approximately June 2011, certain Tribune Company creditors filed dozens of complaints in various courts throughout the country, including complaints in the two actions referred to above, alleging that the payments made to shareholders in the LBO were “fraudulent conveyances” under state law, and that the shareholders must return the payments they received for their shares to satisfy the plaintiffs’ unpaid claims. These cases have been consolidated for coordinated pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of NewYork titled In reTribune Company Fraudulent Conveyance Litigation (S.D.N.Y. Nos. 11-md-2296 and 12-mc-2296 (WHP) (“Tribune MDL”)).
In addition, there was a case pending in United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware brought by the Unsecured Creditors Committee of the Tribune Company that has since been transferred to the Tribune MDL (The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Co. v. FitzSimons, et al., formerly Bankr. D. Del. Adv. Pro. No. 10-54010 (KJC) and now S.D.N.Y. No. 12-cv-2652 (WHP)). The case was originally filed on November 1, 2010. In a Fourth Amended Complaint filed in November 2012, among other claims, the Creditors Committee seeks recovery under the Bankruptcy Code for alleged “fraudulent conveyances” from more than 6,000 Tribune Company shareholders, including the fund, and a defendants class of all shareholders who tendered their Tribune Company stock in the LBO and received more than $1,175 in payments by the Tribune Company. There are 35 other counts in the Fourth Amended Complaint that do not relate to claims against shareholder defendants, but instead are brought against parties directly involved in approval or execution of the leveraged buyout.
40
On November 6, 2012, a motion to dismiss was filed in the Tribune MDL, which applies to all defendants (including the fund) in cases with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas or William A. Niese as the lead plaintiff, including the two cases listed in the first paragraph above. Briefing on this motion is scheduled to be completed in February 2013, with argument scheduled for March 2013. If successful, the motion would dismiss all cases in the Tribune MDL, except the Creditors Committee v. FitzSimons case, in full.
Per order of the Court, the Creditors Committee v. FitzSimons case remains stayed until a decision is rendered on the motion to dismiss in the other cases in the Tribune MDL. No response to that Fourth Amended Complaint is currently required.
At this stage in the proceedings, it is not possible to assess with any reasonable certainty the probable outcomes of the pending litigations. Consequently, at this time, management is unable to estimate the possible loss that may result.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We present to you this annual report for Dreyfus U.S. Treasury Reserves, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012. 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.
Investors reacted sharply to macroeconomic developments throughout the world over the reporting period.A sluggish U.S. economy, the ongoing financial crisis in Europe, and slowdowns in key emerging markets weighed on stocks and higher yielding bonds early in the reporting period, but aggressively accommodative monetary policies from central banks in the United States, Europe, Japan and China subsequently lifted longer-term markets.
In light of the easy monetary policies adopted by many countries, we expect the U.S. economic recovery to persist at subpar levels over the first half of 2012, as growth may remain constrained by uncertainties surrounding fiscal policy and tax reforms. However, successful resolution of the current fiscal debate may prompt corporate decision-makers to increase capital spending, which could have positive implications for the U.S. economy and domestic equity markets. Nonetheless, the Federal Reserve Board has reiterated its intention to keep rates low at least through mid-2015, suggesting that substantially higher money market yields are unlikely anytime soon. As always, we encourage you to stay in touch with your financial advisor as new developments unfold.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012, as provided by Patricia A. Larkin, Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2012, 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
Yields of short-term U.S. Treasury obligations remained near historical lows throughout the reporting period as the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) left short-term interest rates unchanged amid sluggish economic growth.
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 direct U.S. Treasury obligations with remaining maturities of 13 months or less, as well as repurchase agreements with securities dealers, which are backed by U.S.Treasuries.To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests only in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and in repurchase agreements secured by these obligations.
U.S. Economy Recovered Slowly
The reporting period began in the aftermath of steep market declines stemming from macroeconomic developments in the United States, Europe, and China. However, investor sentiment was soon bolstered by better U.S. economic data, including accelerating manufacturing activity and drops in the unemployment rate to 8.7% in November and 8.5% in December. Meanwhile, consumer confidence rose, contributing to a 4.1% annualized economic growth rate over the fourth quarter of 2011.
The Fund | 3 |
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
The recovery appeared to gain traction in early 2012 when the unemployment rate slid to 8.3% amid a gain of 243,000 jobs in January and another 233,000 jobs in February. Despite a decrease to 120,000 new jobs in March, the unemployment rate inched lower to 8.2%. However, cuts in government spending dampened GDP growth to a 2.0% annualized rate over the first quarter of 2012.
The expansion appeared to moderate in April.The unemployment rate fell to 8.1%, but only 77,000 jobs were added. May brought another month of subpar job creation and an uptick in the unemployment rate to 8.2%. Moreover, the European debt crisis intensified when proposed austerity measures encountered political resistance. The manufacturing sector contracted in June for the first time in three years, but U.S. housing prices climbed for the first time in seven months. For the second quarter of 2012, U.S. economic growth slowed to a 1.3% annualized rate.
The economy added 181,000 jobs in July, but the unemployment rate rose to 8.3% as more people entered the workforce. Manufacturing activity contracted for the second straight month. August saw higher sales and prices in U.S. housing markets, an 8.1% unemployment rate, and higher personal income and expenditures. Corporate earnings proved healthier than expected, as a majority of companies met analysts’ earnings targets.
The economic recovery seemed to gain traction in September with the addition of 148,000 new jobs and a sharp drop in the unemployment rate to 7.8%, its lowest level since January 2009.The manufacturing sector rebounded after three months of modest declines, and the service sector posted its 33rd consecutive month of expansion. In the housing market, sales prices reached their highest levels in approximately five years. However, many economists, investors and business executives grew increasingly concerned that a gridlocked Congress might not reach agreement on ways to prevent automatic tax hikes and spending reductions scheduled for early 2013. It later was announced that the U.S. economy grew at a 2.0% annualized rate during the third quarter of 2012.
4
The unemployment rate ticked higher in October to 7.9% as more workers joined the labor force, and 184,000 private sector jobs were added during the month. Manufacturing activity increased at a faster rate in October than in September, and home prices posted modest gains, suggesting that the gradual U.S. economic recovery remained intact.
Rates Likely to Stay Low
As has been the case for the past several years, yields of U.S.Treasury bills and other money market instruments hovered near zero percent throughout the reporting period. In addition, yield differences along the market’s maturity spectrum remained relatively narrow, so it made little sense to incur the additional risks that longer-dated securities typically entail.We have maintained the fund’s weighted average maturity in a position we consider roughly in line with market averages.
During the latter part of the reporting period, the Fed announced additional measures to boost employment and stimulate growth, including an extension of Operation Twist, a new round of quantitative easing and the likelihood that short-term interest rates would remain near historical lows at least until mid-2015.Therefore, we currently intend to maintain the fund’s focus on liquidity.
November 15, 2012
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.
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. |

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, 2012 to October 31, 2012. 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 and Value of a $1,000 Investment assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2012
Investor Shares | Class R Shares | |
Expenses paid per $1,000† | $.66 | $.66 |
Ending value (after expenses) | $1,024.48 | $1,024.48 |
† Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .13% for Investor shares and .13% for Class R shares, |
multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus U.S. Treasury 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 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 Plan 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, and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution Plan fee. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the Distribution Plan fee 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.
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 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 amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined by procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
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.
The Fund | 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 within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2012 in valuing the fund’s investments:
Short-Term | |
Valuation Inputs | Investments ($)† |
Level 1—Unadjusted Quoted Prices | — |
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs | 336,125,454 |
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs | — |
Total | 336,125,454 |
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations. |
At October 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
(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 pre-
16
mium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Cost of investments represents amortized cost.
The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Manager, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the fund’s agreement to resell such securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, such securities must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the terms of the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the fund maintains its right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.
(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net; such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.
(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2012, 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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, 2012 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2012, 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, 2012 and October 31, 2011 were all ordinary income.
During the period ended October 31, 2012, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for dividend reclassification, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $4,390 and decreased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.
At October 31, 2012, 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, Distribution Plan fees and fees and expenses of non-interested Directors (including
18
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). During the period ended October 31, 2012, fees reimbursed by the Manager amounted to $22,411.
The Manager has undertaken to waive receipt of the management fee and/or reimburse operating expenses in order to facilitate a daily yield at or above a certain level which may change from time to time.This undertaking is voluntary and not contractual, and may be terminated at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $733,406 for Investor shares and $794,071 for Class R shares during the period ended October 31, 2012.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Investor shares may pay annually up to .25% (currently limited by the Board 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, 2012, Investor shares were charged $246,240 pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
Under its terms, the Distribution 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 Distribution Plan.
The components of “Due toThe Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $128,231 and Distribution Plan fees $20,717, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $114,959.
(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

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, 2011, through October 31, 2012. 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.
Despite pronounced stock market weakness during the spring of 2012, stocks generally advanced over the reporting period as investors responded to encouraging macroeconomic developments throughout the world. Employment gains in the United States, credible measures to prevent a more severe banking crisis in Europe, and the likelihood of a “soft landing” for China’s economy buoyed investor sentiment, as did aggressively accommodative monetary policies from central banks in the United States, Europe, Japan and China. Consequently, U.S. stocks across all capitalization ranges posted double-digit returns, on average, for the reporting period.
In light of the easy monetary policies adopted by many countries, we expect global growth to be slightly more robust in 2013 than in 2012.The U.S. economic recovery is likely to persist at subpar levels over the first half of the new year, as growth may remain constrained by uncertainties surrounding fiscal policy and tax reforms. However, successful resolution of the current fiscal debate may prompt corporate decision-makers to increase capital spending, which could have positive implications for the U.S. economy and domestic equity markets.As always, we encourage you to stay in touch with your financial advisor as new developments unfold.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012, as provided by David A. Daglio, Primary Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2012, Dreyfus Small Cap Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 11.72%, Class C shares returned 10.86% and Class I shares returned 12.04%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 12.08%.2
U.S. stock markets benefited from improving domestic economic fundamentals, with small-cap stocks modestly lagging their larger-cap counterparts. The fund slightly underperformed the benchmark, mainly due to stock selections in the financial services and industrial sectors.
As we have previously informed shareholders, the Board of Directors has approved the liquidation of the fund effective on or about January 16, 2013.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks capital appreciation.To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in stocks of small U.S. 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.
Global Developments Affected Domestic Stock Prices
While the sustainability of the U.S. recovery remained in some doubt during the reporting period, mild but consistent improvements in domestic economic data set the stage for generally rising stock prices. However, markets remained highly volatile, with global macroeconomic developments driving abrupt changes in
The Fund | 3 |
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
investor sentiment. Although most U.S. small-cap stocks lacked direct exposure to these global developments, stock prices nonetheless rose and fell in response to investors’ changing outlooks.
A range of global issues troubled investors, but the market’s most pressing concerns were focused on the fiscal instability affecting several European countries, with Greece at the epicenter of the region’s problems. Questions about the European Union’s willingness and ability to deal with these problems drove stocks broadly lower in late 2011 and again in the spring of 2012. On both occasions, new initiatives from European policymakers reassured markets, as did continued U.S. employment growth, causing stocks to rebound.
Positioned to Participate in a Rising Market
The fund’s disciplined investment process and our focus on longer term corporate prospects positioned the fund’s holdings to benefit from the reporting period’s generally constructive environment. The fund derived particularly strong returns from its investments in the consumer discretionary sector, with gains bolstered by overweighted sector exposure and good individual stock selections. The fund emphasized building-related stocks, such as Meritage Homes, Standard Pacific and Mohawk Industries, that benefited from an improving housing market. We also identified well positioned companies in the retail sector, such as Williams-Sonoma and Fifth & Pacific Companies, that reported strong sales in an environment of improving consumer confidence.
Overweighted exposure to the technology sector also contributed positively to the fund’s relative performance, as did several favorable individual stock selections, such as fleet systems management provider WEX, automobile inventory and financing management company DealerTrack Holdings, mortgage industry information provider CoreLogic, and software developer Kenexa, the last of which more than doubled in value after receiving an attractive acquisition offer. Basic materials holdings further enhanced the fund’s relative returns, largely due to underweighted exposure to the weaker performing metals-and-mining area and

robust returns from companies benefiting from declining U.S. natural gas prices, such as chemical producers Georgia Gulf and Omnova Solutions. In the health care sector, prosthetics maker Hanger advanced after reporting strong organic growth and an improved pricing environment.
On a more negative note, the fund’s underweighted exposure to real estate investment trusts, a group in the financial sector that we judged to be richly valued by historical standards, hurt relative returns. One financial holding, Och-Ziff Capital Management Group, further detracted from returns due to disappointing revenues.Among industrial stocks, the fundamentals of satellite imaging services provider GeoEye and truck parts manufacturer Meritor moved off our investment thesis, leading us to sell the fund’s holdings in both companies.

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.
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 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 pursuant to an agreement by The Dreyfus Corporation. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the |
fund’s returns would have been lower. |

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.
On October 25, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”), which was approved by the fund’s shareholders. The Plan provides for the liquidation of the fund, the pro rata distribution of the assets of the fund to its shareholders and the closing of fund shareholder accounts (the “Liquidation”).The Liquidation of the fund will occur on or about January 16, 2013. Accordingly, effective November 15, 2012, the fund will be closed to any 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 three classes of shares: Class A (400 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 Plan fee and/or Shareholder Services Plan fee. Class A shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust depart-

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
ments and other financial services providers (including The Bank of New York 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 Plan or Shareholder Services Plan fee. Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. The Board approved, effective as of the close of business on March 13, 2012, the transfer of shares authorized from Class B to Class A. Class B shares were subject to a CDSC imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically converted to Class A shares after six years.The fund no longer offers Class B shares. Effective March 13, 2012, all outstanding Class B shares were automatically converted to Class A shares. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to Distribution Plan and Shareholder Services Plan 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 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: 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
22
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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
Investments in securities are valued 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
The Fund | 23 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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.All of the preceding securities are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 financial futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
24
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2012 in valuing the fund’s investments:
Level 2—Other | Level 3— | |||
Level 1— | Significant | Significant | ||

Mutual Funds | 5,881,377 | — | — | 5,881,377 |
† | See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations. |
At October 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
(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, 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 collater-

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
alized, 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, 2012,The Bank of New York Mellon earned $16,519 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. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2012 were as follows:

Total | 13,865,878 | 57,964,268 | 65,948,769 | 5,881,377 | 11.5 |
(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
26
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, 2012, 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, 2012 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: accumulated capital losses $132,242,523 and unrealized appreciation $944,968.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “2010 Act”), the fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Furthermore, post-enactment capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than short-term as they were under previous statute.The 2010 Act requires post-enactment losses to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred in taxable years prior to the effective date of the 2010 Act (“pre-enactment losses”).As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment losses may be more likely to expire unused.
The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2012. If not applied, $65,995,964 of the carryover expires in fiscal year 2016 and $66,246,559 expires in fiscal year 2017.
The Fund | 27 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
During the period ended October 31, 2012, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for real estate investment trusts, limited partnerships and net operating losses, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $450,371, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $34,208 and decreased paid-in capital by $484,579. 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. Effective October 10, 2012, the $225 million unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A., was decreased to $210 million. 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, 2012 was approximately $99,200, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.23%.
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
28
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 expense, commitment fees, Distribution Plan fees and expenses, Shareholder Services Plan 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). During the period ended October 31, 2012, fees reimbursed by the Manager amounted to $2,948.
The Manager has agreed from July 26, 2012 to waive receipt of a portion of the fund’s management fee in the amount of .15% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets until the liquidation date, on or about January 16, 2013.The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $20,922 during the period ended October 31, 2012.
During the period ended October 31, 2012, the Distributor retained $172 from commissions earned on sales of fund’s Class A shares and $1 and $201 from CDSCs on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
(b) Under separate Distribution Plans adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Distribution Plan”) under the Act, Class A shares may pay annually up to .25% of the value of its average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Class B shares paid and Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an aggregate annual rate of .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. Class B shares were and Class C shares are also subject to a services plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Service Plan”), under which Class B shares paid and Class C shares pay the Distributor for providing certain services to the holders of their shares a fee at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. During the period ended October 31, 2012, Class A, Class B and Class C shares
The Fund | 29 |

were charged $99,026, $588 and $46,050, respectively, pursuant to their respective Distribution Plans. Class B and Class C shares were charged $196 and $15,350, respectively, pursuant to the Service Plan.
Under its terms, the Distribution Plan and 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 Distribution Plan or Shareholder Services Plan.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $47,936, Distribution Plan fees $12,143 and Service Plan fees $1,242.
(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dreyfus Small Cap Fund, a series ofThe Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Fund”), including the statement of investments, as of October 31, 2012, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in 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.These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. 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, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also 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.
As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Board of Directors of the Fund approved a plan to liquidate and terminate the Fund. The plan of liquidation provides that the Fund will cease its business, liquidate its assets and distribute its liquidation proceeds to all shareholders of record of the Fund on or about January 16, 2013. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Fund will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the liquidation.These adjustments are not expected to be significant.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus Small Cap Fund as of October 31, 2012, 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 Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012. 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.
Despite heightened volatility, the U.S. bond market generally advanced over the reporting period as investors responded to encouraging macroeconomic developments throughout the world. Employment gains in the United States, credible measures to prevent a more severe banking crisis in Europe, and the likelihood of a “soft landing” for China’s economy buoyed investor sentiment, as did aggressively accommodative monetary policies from central banks in the United States, Europe, Japan and China. Consequently, riskier segments of the bond market gained value, while massive purchases of government securities by the Federal Reserve prevented yields of U.S. government securities from rising.
In light of the easy monetary policies adopted by many countries, we expect global growth to be slightly more robust in 2013 than in 2012.The U.S. economic recovery is likely to persist at subpar levels over the first half of the new year, as growth may remain constrained by uncertainties surrounding fiscal policy and tax reforms. However, successful resolution of the current fiscal debate may prompt corporate decision-makers to increase capital spending, which could have positive implications for the U.S. economy.As always, we encourage you to stay in touch with your financial advisor as new developments unfold.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012, as provided by David Leduc, CFA, and David Horsfall, CFA, Portfolio Managers
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2012, Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 8.85%, Class C shares returned 8.08% and Class I shares returned 9.13%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, achieved a total return of 5.25% for the same period.2
Yields of U.S. government securities remained near historical lows during the reporting period, while higher yielding bonds gained a degree of value as global and domestic economic worries eased and business conditions improved. The fund’s returns were higher than its benchmark, mainly due to strong contributions from higher yielding market sectors, including corporate-backed securities, emerging-markets bonds and asset-backed securities.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks to maximize total return through capital appreciation and income.To pursue its 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.
Macroeconomic Developments Fueled Market Volatility
The reporting period began in the aftermath of steep market declines stemming from macroeconomic developments in the United States, Europe and China. However, employment gains and other encouraging U.S. economic news helped alleviate investors’ worries in the weeks prior to the reporting period, and a quantitative easing

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
program in Europe appeared to forestall a more severe banking crisis in the region. These developments sparked the start of a strong and sustained rally among higher yielding bonds. Investors grew more tolerant of risks, and they turned away from traditional safe havens and toward market sectors expected to benefit from better economic conditions. Consequently, asset-backed securities, commercial mortgages and corporate securities gained value through the first quarter of 2012.
The U.S. economic recovery was called into question in the spring, when the public sector shed jobs and employment gains in the private sector proved more anemic than expected. Meanwhile, proposed austerity programs to relieve fiscal pressures in Europe encountered political resistance.These headwinds erased some of the gains previously posted by higher yielding bonds, and yields of U.S. Treasury securities plunged to record lows. Fortunately, more encouraging economic data over the summer offset most of those losses, enabling U.S. bonds to end the reporting period with respectable returns, on average.
Higher Yielding Securities Aided Performance
The fund benefited from robust results from investment-grade corporate securities as issuers shored up their balance sheets and default rates remained low. We focused primarily on credits that, in our analysis, featured strong underlying assets.We found a number of opportunities meeting our criteria in the industrials sector, but relatively few among banks. High yield corporate securities also contributed positively to relative performance, as we focused on higher credit-rating tiers within the high yield spectrum and maturities of five years or less. Asset-backed securities fared well for the fund, particularly shorter maturity securities backed by automobile loans.
The fund also scored success with its international fixed-income investments.The fund generally avoided weakness among sovereign bonds from Southern and Eastern Europe until the third quarter of 2012, and we maintained underweighted exposure to the euro. Instead, we focused on bonds in emerging markets where yields are high and have room to fall, and we maintained overweighted exposure to the Mexican peso. We added bonds from Southern Europe and Ireland over the summer when they reached attractive valuations, enabling the fund to participate more fully in rallies during September.
Although we encountered relatively few disappointments during the reporting period, the fund might have produced higher returns if we had increased its average duration beyond two to three years.We used forward contracts to establish the fund’s currency positions, and we purchased call options to protect the fund from potential interest-rate volatility.
4
Adjusting to Changing Market Conditions
While we remain concerned regarding ongoing events in Europe, central banks throughout the world have eased their monetary policies, which we expect to boost economic growth rates in the coming months. Therefore, we have placed greater emphasis on higher yielding bonds where rates seem likely to fall, including some of the more troubled nations of Europe. In contrast, corporate-backed bonds and asset-backed securities have reached richer valuations, suggesting that we may find better opportunities elsewhere.
November 15, 2012
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.
Foreign bonds are subject to special risks including exposure to currency fluctuations, changing political and economic conditions, and potentially less liquidity.These risks are generally greater with emerging market countries than with more economically and politically established foreign countries.
Investments in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.A decline in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will reduce the value of securities held by the fund and denominated in those currencies.The use of leverage may magnify the fund’s gains or losses. For derivatives with a leveraging component, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset can result in a loss that is much greater than the original investment in the derivative.
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 charge 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, |
2013, at which time it may be extended, modified or terminated. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s |
returns would have been lower. |

Class A shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class I 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, and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class I shares are offered 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 real-
32
ized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
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 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: 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.

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.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value and are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such 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 the following: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general
34
market conditions. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
U.S. Treasury Bills are valued at the mean price between quoted bid prices and asked prices by the Service. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Service’s procedures are reviewed by Dreyfus under the general supervision of the Board.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (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. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange.
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. These securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Options traded
The Fund | 35 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
over-the-counter are valued at the mean between the bid and asked price.These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in swap transactions are valued each business day by the Service. Swaps are valued by the Service by using a swap pricing model which incorporates among other factors, default probabilities, recovery rates, credit curves of the underlying issuer and swap spreads on interest rates. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Forward contracts are valued at the forward rate. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

At October 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
(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 also 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
The Fund | 37 |
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 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 return the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended October 31, 2012, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $1,661 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. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2012 were as follows:

(e) 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. In addition, the value of debt securities may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in outlook for 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 and dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid monthly, 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 31, 2012, the Board declared a cash dividend of $.035, $.026 and $.037 per share from undistributed investment income-net for Class A, Class C and Class I shares, respectively, payable on November 1, 2012 (ex-dividend date), to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2012.
(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.
The Fund | 39 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2012, 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, 2012 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $905,797, undistributed capital gains $82,495 and unrealized appreciation $1,099,937.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 were as follows: ordinary income $1,364,613 and $1,605,053 and long-term capital gains $138,307 and $0, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2012, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for paydowns gains and losses, foreign currency transactions, swap periodic payments and consent fees, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $8,334 and increased 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.
(h) New Accounting Pronouncement: In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position.They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition,ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting
40
Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.
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. Effective October 10, 2012, the $225 million unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A., was decreased to $210 million. 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, 2012, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.
NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with Dreyfus, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .60% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. Dreyfus has contractually agreed, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the expenses of the fund, until March 1, 2013, so that annual direct fund operating expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed .85% of the value of the average daily net assets of

The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2012, Class A and Class C shares were charged $60,138 and $10,422, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund has arrangements with the transfer agent and the custodian whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agency and
42
custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.
The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc. (“DTI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing transfer agency services for the fund and, since May 29, 2012, cash management services related to fund subscriptions and redemptions.

Financial Futures: 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 in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market.A financial 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 counterparty, 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
The Fund | 45 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statement of Operations.When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss which is reflected in the Statement of Operations.There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with financial futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the financial futures against default. Financial futures open at October 31, 2012 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
Options Transactions: 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 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 (call) 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. The Statement of Operations reflects the following: any unrealized gains or losses which occurred during the period as well as any realized gains or losses which occurred upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction.

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. 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

Swap Transactions: The fund enters into swap agreements to exchange the interest rate on, or return generated by, one nominal instrument for the return generated by another nominal instrument.The fund enters into these agreements to hedge certain market or interest rate risks, to 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 a realized gain (loss) on swaps, in addition to realized gain (loss) recorded upon the termination of swap 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.
Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional principal amount.The fund may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on a notional principal amount. The net interest received or paid on interest rate swap agreements is included within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest rate swaps are valued daily and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations.When a swap contract is terminated early, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the current realized value and the expected cash flows. For financial reporting purposes, forward rate agreements are classified as interest rate swaps.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted value of the cash flows to be received from the counter-party over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

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) 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 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.
The Fund | 51 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement which may exceed the amount of unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements are disclosed in the following chart, which summarizes open credit default swaps on corporate issues entered into by the fund.These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

1 | If the fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap |
agreement, the fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional | |
amount of the swap and take delivery of the reference obligation or (ii) pay a net settlement | |
amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery | |
value of the reference obligation. | |

or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the | |
swap agreement. | |
3 | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value as of |
the period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and | |
represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative.The credit spread of a particular | |
referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments | |
required to be made to enter into the agreement.Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of | |
the referenced entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit | |
event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.A credit spread identified as | |
“Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity. |

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.

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. Pre-approval considerations include whether the proposed services are compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence. Pre-approvals pursuant to the Policy are considered annually.
(e)(2) Note: None of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item 4 were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) None of the hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal account's full-time, permanent employees.
Non-Audit Fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the Reporting Periods were $12,152,586 in 2011 and $11,571,150 in 2012.
Auditor Independence. The Registrant's Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates, which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval), is compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence.
