A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
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, 2014, through October 31, 2015. 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.
Financial markets proved volatile over the reporting period amid choppy U.S. and global economic growth. U.S. stocks advanced over the final months of 2014 and the spring of 2015, with some broad measures of market performance setting new record highs. Those gains were largely erased over the summer when global economic instability undermined investor sentiment, but a renewed rally in October enabled most broad stock indices to end the reporting period in positive territory. In contrast, international stocks generally lost a degree of value, with developed markets faring far better than emerging markets amid falling commodity prices and depreciating currency values. U.S. bonds generally produced modestly positive total returns, with municipal bonds and longer term U.S. government securities faring better, on average, than corporate-backed bonds.
We expect market volatility to persist over the near term until investors see greater clarity regarding short-term U.S. interest rates and global economic conditions. Our investment strategists and portfolio managers are monitoring developments carefully, keeping a close watch on credit spreads, currency values, commodity prices, corporate profits, economic trends in the emerging markets, and other developments that could influence investor sentiment. Over the longer term, we remain confident that markets are likely to benefit as investors increasingly recognize that inflation is likely to stay low, economic growth expectations are stabilizing, and monetary policies remain accommodative in most regions of the world. In our view, investors will continue to be well served under these circumstances by a long-term perspective and a disciplined investment approach.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015, 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, 2015, Dreyfus BASIC S&P 500 Index Fund produced a total return of 5.02%.1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 5.21% for the same period.2,3
Moderately positive stock market results for the reporting period masked heightened volatility stemming from shifting economic sentiment. 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.
The fund employed futures contracts during the reporting period in its efforts to replicate the returns of the S&P 500 Index.
Global Economic Concerns Sparked Market Turmoil
After experiencing sharp declines in the early fall, the stock market began the reporting period in the midst of a rally driven by robust employment gains and improved consumer and business confidence. The S&P 500 Index climbed through the end of February 2015 despite ongoing global economic weakness and plummeting prices of oil and other commodities.
Investors responded negatively in March to sluggish domestic economic growth stemming from severe winter weather and an appreciating U.S. dollar. Indeed, U.S. GDP expanded at an anemic 0.6% annualized rate during the first quarter of 2015, but stocks resumed their advance and the S&P 500 Index set new record highs in May as the U.S. economy regained traction with a 3.9% annualized growth rate for the second quarter.
Uncertainty regarding a debt crisis in Greece and slowing economic growth in China again sent U.S. stock prices lower over the summer. In mid-August, the Chinese central bank unexpectedly devalued the country’s currency, intensifying concerns that the world’s second largest economy could be slowing more than anticipated, sending commodity prices lower. In fact, the impact of global economic headwinds on U.S. exports was cited as a primary factor behind a deceleration of U.S. economic growth to an annualized 1.5% rate for the third quarter. Stocks briefly dipped into negative territory as investors grew more risk-averse, but a strong rally in October enabled the S&P 500 Index to end the reporting period with a moderate gain after several large companies reported better-than-expected financial results.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Consumer Discretionary Stocks Led Markets Higher
Although the S&P 500 Index posted a single-digit gain for the reporting period overall, the economic sectors that comprise the S&P 500 Index delivered widely disparate results. The consumer discretionary sector led the market’s advance, driven higher by gains from Internet retailers such as Amazon.com. Meanwhile, home improvement retailers’ including The Home Depot and Lowe’s benefited from recovering housing markets, and more affordable fuel prices boosted business for hotels and restaurants.
The information technology sector gained value amid the ongoing trend toward cloud computing, which has enabled businesses across a variety of industries to enhance their technology capabilities at an affordable cost. Increased adoption of smartphones helped boost earnings for providers of electronic components and mobile software. Some of the sector’s top performers included technology giants Apple, Facebook, Alphabet (formerly Google), and Microsoft. The health care sector continued to see rising spending on medical services from an aging population, and the industry group increasingly sought to control costs and achieve economies of scale through mergers and acquisitions.
In contrast, the energy sector lost considerable value over the reporting period. A glut of supply of crude oil was met with tepid demand, causing petroleum prices to fall sharply. Offshore drillers were hit especially hard during the downturn when their contracts with major energy producers were canceled. The materials sector also was hurt by declining commodity prices stemming mainly from reduced demand from the emerging markets, which weighed on earnings for metals-and-mining companies. Finally, results from the telecommunications services sector were undermined by heightened competitive pressures affecting traditional telephone companies.
Replicating the Performance of the S&P 500 Index
Although we do not actively manage the fund’s investments in response to macroeconomic trends, it is worth noting that the U.S. economic recovery appears to remain on track and aggressively accommodative monetary policies are at work in international markets. As always, we have continued to monitor the factors considered by the fund’s investment model in light of current market conditions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus BASIC S&P 500 Stock Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering ten series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek 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 Dreyfus, 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 (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: 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.
28
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. For open short positions, asked prices are 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 generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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. 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
29
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally 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 and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2015 in valuing the fund’s investments:

† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
†† Amount shown represents unrealized appreciation at period end.
At October 31, 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 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 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, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, The Bank of New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the
31
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
borrower and the collateral. During the period ended October 31, 2015, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $29,278 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act. Investments in affiliated investment companies during the period ended October 31, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | |
Affiliated Investment Company | Value 10/31/2014 ($) | Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Value 10/31/2015 ($) | Net Assets (%) |
Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund | 73,331,726 | 317,905,450 | 349,388,198 | 41,848,978 | 1.9 |
Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund | 11,208,670 | 89,227,942 | 94,976,877 | 5,459,735 | .3 |
Total | 84,540,396 | 407,133,392 | 444,365,075 | 47,308,713 | 2.2 |
(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are normally declared and paid quarterly. 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, 2015, 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 ended October 31, 2015, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
32
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2015 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2015, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $14,279,018, undistributed capital gains $12,098,171 and unrealized appreciation $947,195,179.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 were as follows: ordinary income $40,112,534 and $35,009,329, and long-term capital gains $0 and $1,394,333, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2015, 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 $385,565 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.
NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $480 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. Prior to October 7, 2015, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $430 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, 2015 was approximately $284,700 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.13%.
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
33
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
obligated to pay Dreyfus 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, Dreyfus pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest expenses, commitment fees on borrowings, 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, 2015, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amounted to $145,964.
(b) The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $355,257, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $11,182.
(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 and financial futures, during the period ended October 31, 2015, amounted to $188,568,916 and $230,841,565, respectively.
Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended October 31, 2015 is discussed below.
Financial Futures: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including equity price risk as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund invests in financial futures in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A financial futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a counterparty, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statement of Operations. When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss which is reflected in the Statement of Operations. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with financial futures since
34
they are exchange traded, and the exchange guarantees the financial futures against default. Financial futures open at October 31, 2015 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
The following summarizes the average market value of derivatives outstanding during the period ended October 31, 2015:
| | | | |
| | | | Average Market Value ($) |
Equity financial futures | | | | 37,511,039 |
At October 31, 2015, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,212,044,263; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $947,195,179, consisting of $1,006,532,726 gross unrealized appreciation and $59,337,547 gross unrealized depreciation.
NOTE 5—Pending Legal Matters:
The fund and many other entities have been named as defendants in numerous pending litigations as a result of their participation in the leveraged buyout transaction (“LBO”) of the Tribune Company (“Tribune”). The cases allege that Tribune took on billions of dollars of debt in the LBO to purchase its own stock from shareholders at $34 per share. The LBO was closed in a two-step transaction with shares being repurchased by Tribune in a tender offer in June 2007 and in a go private merger in December 2007. In 2008, approximately one year after the LBO was concluded, Tribune filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. Thereafter, in approximately June 2011, certain Tribune creditors filed dozens of complaints in various courts throughout the country alleging that the payments made to shareholders in the LBO were “fraudulent conveyances” under state and/or federal 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 New York titled In re Tribune Company Fraudulent Conveyance Litigation (S.D.N.Y. Nos. 11-md-2296 and 12-mc-2296 (RJS) (“Tribune MDL”)). On March 27, 2013, the Tribune MDL was reassigned from Judge William H. Pauley to Judge Richard J. Sullivan. No explanation was given for the reassignment.
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 (formerly The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Co. v. FitzSimons, et al., Bankr. D. Del. Adv. Pro. No. 10-54010 (KJC))
35
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(“FitzSimons case”). The case was originally filed on November 1, 2010. In a Fourth Amended Complaint filed in November 2012, among other claims, the Creditors Committee sought recovery under the Bankruptcy Code for alleged “fraudulent conveyances” from more than 5,000 Tribune shareholders (“Shareholder Defendants”), including the fund, and a defendants’ class of all shareholders who tendered their Tribune stock in the LBO and received cash in exchange. There were 35 other counts in the Fourth Amended Complaint that did not relate to claims against Shareholder Defendants, but instead were brought against parties directly involved in approval or execution of the leveraged buyout. On January 10, 2013, pursuant to the Tribune bankruptcy plan, Mark S. Kirchner, as Litigation Trustee for the Tribune Litigation Trust, became the successor plaintiff to the Creditors Committee in this case. The case is now proceeding as: Mark S. Kirchner, as Litigation Trustee for the Tribune Litigation Trust v. FitzSimons, et al., S.D.N.Y. No. 12-cv-2652 (RJS). On August 1, 2013, the plaintiff filed a Fifth Amended Complaint with the Court. The Fifth Amended Complaint contains more detailed allegations regarding the steps Tribune took in consideration and execution of the LBO, but does not change the legal basis for the claim previously alleged against the Shareholder Defendants.
On November 6, 2012, a motion to dismiss was filed in the Tribune MDL. Oral argument on the motion to dismiss was held on May 23, 2013. On September 23, 2013 Judge Sullivan granted the motion to dismiss on standing grounds, after rejecting defendants’ preemption arguments. By granting the motion, Judge Sullivan dismissed nearly 50 cases in the Tribune MDL. The fund was a defendant in at least one of the dismissed cases. The motion had no effect on the FitzSimons case, which had been stayed.
On September 30, 2013, plaintiffs appealed the motion to dismiss decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On October 28, 2013, certain defendants cross-appealed from Judge Sullivan’s decision, seeking review of the arguments that Judge Sullivan rejected in his decision. Briefing on the appeal and cross appeal was completed in April 2014. Oral argument before the Second Circuit took place on November 5, 2014.
On November 11, 2013, Judge Sullivan entered Master Case Order No. 4 in the Tribune MDL. Master Case Order No. 4 addressed numerous procedural and administrative tasks for the cases that remain in the Tribune MDL, including the FitzSimons case. Pursuant to Master Case Order No. 4, the parties – through their executive committees and liaison counsel – attempted to negotiate a protocol for motions to dismiss and other procedural issues, and submitted rival proposals to the Court. On
36
April 24, 2014 the Court entered an order setting a schedule for the first motions to dismiss in the FitzSimons case. Pursuant to that schedule, a “global” motion to dismiss the fraudulent transfer claim asserted against the Shareholder Defendants, which applies equally to all Shareholder Defendants including the fund, was filed on May 23, 2014. Plaintiffs’ response brief was filed on June 23, 2014, and the reply brief was filed on July 3, 2014. No date for oral argument has been scheduled. The Court also preserved Shareholder Defendants’ rights to file nineteen motions to dismiss enumerated in their proposal and motions pursuant to Rules 12(b)(2)-(5) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. If these various motions are necessary after the Court decides the global motion to dismiss, the Court will set further guidelines and briefing schedules.
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.

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 BASIC S&P 500 Stock Index Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc., including the statements of investments and financial futures, as of October 31, 2015, 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, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus BASIC S&P 500 Stock Index Fund as of October 31, 2015, 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 PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015. 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.
Financial markets proved volatile over the reporting period amid choppy U.S. and global economic growth. U.S. stocks advanced over the final months of 2014 and the spring of 2015, with some broad measures of market performance setting new record highs. Those gains were largely erased over the summer when global economic instability undermined investor sentiment, but a renewed rally in October enabled most broad stock indices to end the reporting period in positive territory. In contrast, international stocks generally lost a degree of value, with developed markets faring far better than emerging markets amid falling commodity prices and depreciating currency values. U.S. bonds generally produced modestly positive total returns, with municipal bonds and longer term U.S. government securities faring better, on average, than corporate-backed bonds.
We expect market volatility to persist over the near term until investors see greater clarity regarding short-term U.S. interest rates and global economic conditions. Our investment strategists and portfolio managers are monitoring developments carefully, keeping a close watch on credit spreads, currency values, commodity prices, corporate profits, economic trends in the emerging markets, and other developments that could influence investor sentiment. Over the longer term, we remain confident that markets are likely to benefit as investors increasingly recognize that inflation is likely to stay low, economic growth expectations are stabilizing, and monetary policies remain accommodative in most regions of the world. In our view, investors will continue to be well served under these circumstances by a long-term perspective and a disciplined investment approach.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015, as provided by Nancy G. Rogers, Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015, Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund’s Investor shares produced a total return of 1.54%, and its BASIC shares produced a total return of 1.79%.1 In comparison, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”) achieved a total return of 1.96% for the same period.2
Fixed-income securities produced mildly positive returns in the midst of changing economic sentiment during the reporting period. The difference in returns between the fund and the Index was primarily the result of 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 (or other instruments with similar characteristics). 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 1800 securities as compared to approximately 9400 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, 2015, the average duration of the fund was approximately 5.6 years.
Monetary Policy Actions Drove U.S. and Global Bond Markets
The reporting period began during a U.S. bond market rally in which slowing global economic growth and falling commodity prices prompted central banks in Japan and China to adopt more accommodative monetary policies. The European Central Bank implemented its own larger-than-expected quantitative easing program in January 2015 amid disappointing regional growth. These policy actions sent yields of high-quality sovereign bonds sharply lower and global investors flocked to higher yielding alternatives in the United States. Consequently, yields of 10-year U.S. Treasury securities, which began the reporting period at 2.35%, declined to 1.68% by the beginning of February 2015.
Investor demand soon began to normalize, and robust employment gains briefly sent long-term U.S. bond yields higher until investors responded to weaker-than-expected data in other areas of the economy. In fact, U.S. GDP expanded at an anemic 0.6% annualized rate over the first quarter of 2015 due to a strengthening U.S. dollar and severe winter weather. The economy regained traction in the spring, posting a 3.9% annualized growth rate for the second quarter, and rising long-term interest rates erased previous price gains when yields of 10-year Treasuries climbed to 2.50% in mid-June.
However, renewed worries about economic instability in China and other emerging markets sparked a renewed flight to quality over the summer, causing long-term bond yields to fall

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
again. Meanwhile, U.S. economic growth decelerated to a more moderate 1.5% annualized rate for the third quarter, and the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) cited global economic instability when it refrained from raising short-term interest rates at its October meeting. In addition, the European Central Bank suggested that it was not done with its quantitative easing program, and China reduced interest rates again. Yields of 10-year Treasuries ended the reporting period at 2.16%.
High Quality Bonds Outperformed Lower Rated Securities
All of the market sectors represented in the Index produced positive absolute returns over the reporting period. Commercial mortgage-backed securities, which comprise a relatively small portion of the Index, produced the highest total returns. U.S. Treasury securities also gained significant value, supported by robust demand from risk-averse global investors. Mortgage-backed securities backed by U.S. government agencies tended to lag their nominal Treasury counterparts, in part due to the impact of reduced mortgage insurance premiums on prepayment rates. Investment-grade corporate bonds fared relatively poorly as credit spreads widened, particularly among securities backed by energy and materials companies struggling with falling commodity prices. Bonds issued by companies with significant international exposure also trailed market averages as the U.S. dollar strengthened against most currencies. In contrast, high-grade corporate bonds from the financials sector fared relatively well.
Replicating the Index’s Composition
As an index fund, we attempt to match closely the returns of the Index by approximating its composition. Still, it is worth noting that investors currently expect the Fed to begin raising short-term interest rates, perhaps as soon as its December meeting.
As of October 31, 2015, approximately 28.6% of the fund’s assets were invested in mortgage-backed securities, 2% in commercial mortgage-backed securities, 30.8% in credit bonds and asset-backed securities, and 38.6% in U.S. Treasury and Agency securities. 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 16, 2015
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.
¹ Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield, and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged total return index of corporate, U.S. government and U.S. government agency debt instruments, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities with an average maturity of 1-10 years. Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses associated with operating a mutual fund.

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 10/31/05 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. Further information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering ten series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to match the total return of the Barclays 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 Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge. The fund is authorized to issue 500 million shares of $.001 par value Common 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 Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: 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.
64
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 generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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
65
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. 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 within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2015 in valuing the fund’s investments:

† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
At October 31, 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 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 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, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, The Bank of New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. During the period ended October 31, 2015, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $46,172 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act. Investments in affiliated investment companies during the period ended October 31, 2015 were as follows:
67
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
| | | | | |
Affiliated Investment Company | Value 10/31/2014 ($) | Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Value 10/31/2015 ($) | Net Assets (%) |
Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund | 202,017,347 | 509,241,067 | 488,589,898 | 222,668,516 | 8.9 |
Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund | 17,606,936 | 179,279,045 | 180,059,602 | 16,826,379 | 0.7 |
Total | 219,624,283 | 688,520,112 | 668,649,500 | 239,494,895 | 9.6 |
(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 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: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(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.
68
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2015, 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 ended October 31, 2015, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2015 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2015, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $10,562,347, undistributed capital gains $1,628,724 and unrealized appreciation $35,459,050.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 were as follows: ordinary income $64,339,909 and $55,998,444, and long-term capital gains $11,443,450 and $27,523,985, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2015, 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 $4,618,364 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 $480 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. Prior to October 7, 2015, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $430 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, 2015, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with Dreyfus, Dreyfus provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates
69
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 .15% 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, 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 allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). During the period ended October 31, 2015, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amounted to $194,416.
(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. The BASIC shares bear no Distribution Plan fee. During the period ended October 31, 2015, Investor shares were charged $2,922,351 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 to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $315,689 and Distribution Plan fees $233,490, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $13,111.
(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, 2015, amounted to $3,825,389,830 and $3,720,522,720, respectively, in addition to $1,764,006,604 in purchases and $1,767,856,616 in sales were from mortgage dollar transactions.
70
Mortgage Dollar Rolls: A mortgage dollar roll transaction involves a sale by the fund of mortgage related securities that it holds with an agreement by the fund to repurchase similar securities at an agreed upon price and date. The securities purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold. The fund accounts for mortgage dollar rolls as purchases and sales transactions.
To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) Securities: During the period ended October 31, 2015, the fund transacted in TBA securities that involved buying or selling mortgage-backed securities on a forward commitment basis. A TBA transaction typically does not designate the actual security to be delivered and only includes an approximate principal amount; however, delivered securities must meet specified terms defined by industry guidelines, including issuer, rate and current principal amount outstanding on underling mortgage pools. TBA securities subject to a forward commitment to sell at period end are included at the end of the fund’s Statement of Investments under the caption “TBA Sale Commitments.” The proceeds and value of these commitments are reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable for TBA sale commitments and TBA sale commitments, at value, respectively.
At October 31, 2015, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,698,620,047; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $35,463,773, consisting of $53,614,898 gross unrealized appreciation and $18,151,125 gross unrealized depreciation.

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015. 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.
Financial markets proved volatile over the reporting period amid choppy U.S. and global economic growth. U.S. stocks advanced over the final months of 2014 and the spring of 2015, with some broad measures of market performance setting new record highs. Those gains were largely erased over the summer when global economic instability undermined investor sentiment, but a renewed rally in October enabled most broad stock indices to end the reporting period in positive territory. In contrast, international stocks generally lost a degree of value, with developed markets faring far better than emerging markets amid falling commodity prices and depreciating currency values. U.S. bonds generally produced modestly positive total returns, with municipal bonds and longer term U.S. government securities faring better, on average, than corporate-backed bonds.
We expect market volatility to persist over the near term until investors see greater clarity regarding short-term U.S. interest rates and global economic conditions. Our investment strategists and portfolio managers are monitoring developments carefully, keeping a close watch on credit spreads, currency values, commodity prices, corporate profits, economic trends in the emerging markets, and other developments that could influence investor sentiment. Over the longer term, we remain confident that markets are likely to benefit as investors increasingly recognize that inflation is likely to stay low, economic growth expectations are stabilizing, and monetary policies remain accommodative in most regions of the world. In our view, investors will continue to be well served under these circumstances by a long-term perspective and a disciplined investment approach.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the reporting period of November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015, as provided by John Bailer, Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015, Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund produced a total return of 6.62%.1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 5.21% for the same period.2
Despite a variety of macroeconomic headwinds and heightened market volatility, U.S. stocks generally posted moderate gains for the reporting period overall. The fund outperformed its benchmark largely on the strength of strong individual stock selections in the information technology, consumer staples, and materials 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, with a focus 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.
Financial Markets Buffeted by Volatility
Although the U.S. economy continued to recover during the reporting period, the expansion initially proved uneven in the face of severe winter weather. Economic growth regained momentum in the spring of 2015, but investors remained concerned about weakness in international markets, while the increasing value of the U.S. dollar against most other currencies undermined revenues for U.S. exporters. A steep decline in petroleum prices generated challenges for many energy producers, but certain other industries and consumers benefited from lower energy prices.
These conditions contributed to high levels of volatility in U.S. equity markets. Stocks gradually recovered from early weakness, trending higher from February through May 2015, then fell over the summer amid contentious negotiations about the debt crisis in Greece and the Chinese Central Bank’s devaluation of the country’s currency, which exacerbated fears about slowing Chinese economic growth. Equity prices rebounded in October, driving most broad measures of U.S. stock market performance back into positive territory. However, geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties continued to unsettle investors, as did mixed signals from the Federal Reserve Board regarding the timing of expected short-term interest rate hikes.
Strong Stock Selections Bolstered Performance
The fund’s sector allocations detracted slightly from relative performance, largely due to underweighted exposure to the consumer discretionary sector and overweighted exposure to
3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
energy stocks. However, good individual stock selections more than made up for these minor allocation shortfalls. The fund achieved its strongest returns compared to the benchmark in the information technology sector, led by networking giant Cisco Systems, which derived better-than-expected earnings from users upgrading to new products; and information services provider Alphabet (formerly Google), which reorganized its management structure while continuing to generate strong revenues. A few holdings in the consumer staples sector, such as bottler Coca-Cola Enterprises and beverage maker Molson Coors Brewing, benefited from intensifying mergers-and-acquisitions activity, while others, such as PepsiCo, were spurred to gains by activist investors forcing a shift in business strategy. Drug store chain CVS Health rose in the midst of increasing health care utilization rates. Construction aggregate producers Martin Marietta Materials and Vulcan Materials gained ground due to improve construction spending trends and a favorable pricing environment.
On the other hand, a few holdings detracted from relative returns. In the consumer discretionary sector, discount retailer Dollar Tree faced increased competition and lower sales than expected, while media company Viacom faced pressure on advertising revenues as more television viewers shifted to online sources of content. In the health care sector, gains among managed care providers, such as UnitedHealth Group and Omnicare, were offset by pullbacks in biotechnology holdings, such as AbbVie and Gilead Sciences, amid concerns over drug pricing issues. Finally, among financial companies, several capital markets firms and money center banks were hurt by low bond yields and by the market’s sporadic aversion to risk.
Positioning the Fund for Further Growth
With interest rates low, energy more affordable, and inflation under control, we believe the U.S. economy is well positioned for continued growth. As of the end of the reporting period, we have found a relatively large number of investments that appear well positioned to prosper in this environment in the energy, financials, information technology, materials, and telecommunications services sectors. Recently increased investments in telecommunications companies, where valuations appear attractive amid a stabilizing business environment, represent a significant recent shift in the fund’s allocation of assets. In contrast, we have trimmed the fund’s exposures to the consumer staples and health care sectors from overweighted to mildly underweighted positions, and the fund holds relatively little exposure to the consumer discretionary, industrials, and utilities sectors.

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 Dreyfus, 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 (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: 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.
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.
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. For open short positions, asked prices are 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 generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 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
16
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 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 within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2015 in valuing the fund’s investments:
| | | | |
| Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices | Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs | Level 3 -Significant Unobservable Inputs | Total |
Assets ($) | | | | |
Investments in Securities: | | |
Equity Securities—Domestic Common Stocks† | 563,237,509 | – | – | 563,237,509 |
Mutual Funds | 1,832,404 | – | – | 1,832,404 |
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
At October 31, 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 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 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
17
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, The Bank of New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. During the period ended October 31, 2015, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $2,238 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act. Investments in affiliated investment companies during the period ended October 31, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | |
Affiliated Investment Company | Value 10/31/2014 ($) | Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Value 10/31/2015 ($) | Net Assets (%) |
Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund | 1,266,457 | 131,025,979 | 130,460,032 | 1,832,404 | .3 |
Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund | 1,195,744 | 27,078,915 | 28,274,659 | – | – |
Total | 2,462,201 | 158,104,894 | 158,734,691 | 1,832,404 | .3 |
(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are normally declared and paid quarterly. 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
18
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, 2015, 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 ended October 31, 2015, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2015 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2015, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $1,766,847, undistributed capital gains $57,313,391 and unrealized appreciation $83,279,747.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 were as follows: ordinary income $23,960,430 and $4,557,893, and long-term capital gains $40,951,063 and $92,198,954, respectively.
NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $480 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. Prior to October 7, 2015, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $430 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, 2015 was approximately $57,300 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.19%.
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
19
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 expenses, 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 allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). During the period ended October 31, 2015, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amounted to $45,229.
(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 its average daily net assets to compensate BNY Mellon and Dreyfus 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, 2015, the fund was charged $578,721 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 to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $420,023 and Distribution Plan fees $46,669, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $11,294.
(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, 2015, amounted to $378,497,248 and $430,706,742, respectively.
At October 31, 2015, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $481,790,166; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $83,279,747, consisting of $94,986,725 gross unrealized appreciation and $11,706,978 gross unrealized depreciation.

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Money Market Reserves, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015. 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.
Financial markets proved volatile over the reporting period amid choppy U.S. and global economic growth. U.S. stocks advanced over the final months of 2014 and the spring of 2015, with some broad measures of market performance setting new record highs. Those gains were largely erased over the summer when global economic instability undermined investor sentiment, but a renewed rally in October enabled most broad stock indices to end the reporting period in positive territory. In contrast, international stocks generally lost a degree of value, with developed markets faring far better than emerging markets amid falling commodity prices and depreciating currency values. U.S. bonds generally produced modestly positive total returns, with municipal bonds and longer term U.S. government securities faring better, on average, than corporate-backed bonds.
We expect market volatility to persist over the near term until investors see greater clarity regarding short-term U.S. interest rates and global economic conditions. Our investment strategists and portfolio managers are monitoring developments carefully, keeping a close watch on credit spreads, currency values, commodity prices, corporate profits, economic trends in the emerging markets, and other developments that could influence investor sentiment. Over the longer term, we remain confident that markets are likely to benefit as investors increasingly recognize that inflation is likely to stay low, economic growth expectations are stabilizing, and monetary policies remain accommodative in most regions of the world. In our view, investors will continue to be well served under these circumstances by a long-term perspective and a disciplined investment approach.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015, as provided by Patricia A. Larkin, Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015, Dreyfus Money Market Reserves’ Investor shares produced a yield of 0.00%, and Class R shares yielded 0.00%. Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund’s Investor shares and Class R shares produced effective yields of 0.00% and 0.00%, respectively.1
The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) left the federal funds rate unchanged, and money market yields remained near historical lows.
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.
Uneven U.S. Economic Recovery Continued
U.S. GDP grew at a 2.1% annualized rate during the fourth quarter of 2014 when labor markets strengthened and consumer and business sentiment improved, but growth moderated to an anemic 0.6% annualized rate during the first quarter of 2015. Economic activity was weighed down, in part, by an appreciating U.S. dollar sparked by central banks’ responses to global economic instability and plummeting commodity prices. Severe winter weather also contributed to the slowdown. Nonetheless, job creation generally remained robust, and the unemployment rate fell from 5.7% at the start of the reporting period to 5.5% at the end of March 2015.
The recovery accelerated in the spring. The unemployment rate dipped to 5.4% in April, and 187,000 new jobs were created. In May, employers created 260,000 jobs and average hourly wages rose 0.3%, yet the unemployment rate ticked higher to 5.5%. Meanwhile, stabilizing currency exchange rates enabled the U.S. trade deficit to shrink significantly. Fuel prices rebounded, sending the inflation rate higher. Sentiment in the financial markets deteriorated in June during a debt crisis in Greece, but the U.S. economy continued to gain traction. 245,000 new jobs were added during the month, the unemployment rate fell to 5.3%, and consumer spending rose. The U.S. economy grew at a 3.9% annualized rate over the second quarter.
July brought more good economic news when 223,000 jobs were added and the unemployment rate stayed steady. Average hourly wages increased, as did retail sales. Meanwhile, both the manufacturing and service sectors continued to expand. On the other

hand, U.S. equity markets reacted negatively to greater-than-expected economic weakness in China.
While the unemployment rate fell to 5.1% in August, only 153,000 jobs were added. Economic instability in China continued to roil the financial markets after the country’s central bank depreciated its currency. Commodity prices fell in response, giving back previous gains. On a brighter note, U.S. wages and personal incomes grew at a healthy pace.
Disappointing job creation continued in September with 137,000 positions added. Average hourly wages declined slightly. The unemployment rate stayed steady at 5.1% due to workers leaving the labor force. Although the manufacturing sector expanded for the 33rd straight month, the rate of increase was the lowest in more than two years. On the other hand, activity in the service sector continued to grow strongly, personal incomes rose, and real personal consumption expenditures climbed. U.S. GDP growth decelerated to an estimated 1.5% annualized rate during the third quarter, reflecting high business inventory levels and lower exports.
October brought generally good economic news. An estimated 271,000 jobs were created, and the unemployment rate fell to 5.0%, its lowest level since April 2008. Meanwhile, average annual wages increased at a 4.3% rate compared to September. Retail sales moved mildly higher, and fuel prices continued to decline. In contrast, housing starts fell sharply, ending the month below year-ago levels.
Fed Expected to Raise Rates Gradually
At its October meeting, the Fed again refrained from implementing the first in a series of widely expected rate hikes. Monetary policymakers noted that “economic activity has been expanding at a moderate pace,” but they left the federal funds rate unchanged “to support continued progress toward maximum employment and price stability.” While many analysts expect rate hikes to begin as soon as the Fed’s next meeting in December, those increases are likely to be modest and gradual.
Therefore, we intend for now to maintain the fund’s weighted average maturity in a range we consider to be in line with industry averages, but we are prepared to adjust our strategies quickly as market conditions change. As always, we remain focused on well-established issuers with good quality and liquidity characteristics.
November 16, 2015
The Board of Directors of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. has approved the liquidation of Dreyfus Money Market Reserves, a series of the Company, effective on or about February 26, 2016.
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, 2015 to October 31, 2015. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

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

Expenses paid per $1,000† | | $ 1.12 | $ 1.12 |
Ending value (after expenses) | | $ 1,024.10 | $1,024.10 |
† Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .22% for Investor shares and .22% for Class R shares, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus 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 Dreyfus, 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 Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Investor and Class R. Investor shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries 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 an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution Plan fee. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, 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.
It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.
The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive
13
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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.
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
14
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, 2015 in valuing the fund’s investments:
| |
Valuation Inputs | Short-Term Investments ($)† |
Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices | - |
Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs | 159,970,090 |
Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs | - |
Total | 159,970,090 |
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations. |
At October 31, 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Cost of investments represents amortized cost.
The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by Dreyfus, 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. The fund may also jointly enter into one or more repurchase agreements with other Dreyfus-managed funds in accordance with an exemptive order granted by the SEC pursuant to section 17(d) and Rule 17d-1 under the Act. Any joint repurchase agreements must be collateralized fully by U.S. Government securities.
15
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.
(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, 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, 2015, 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 ended October 31, 2015, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2015 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2015, 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, 2015 and October 31, 2014 were all ordinary income.
During the period ended October 31, 2015, 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 $306 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, 2015, 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 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 an annual rate of .50% 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, 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 allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). During the period ended October 31, 2015, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amounted to $20,392.
Dreyfus 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 $839,944 during the period ended October 31, 2015.
(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, 2015, Investor shares were charged $301,537 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 to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $52,641 and Distribution Plan fees $23,964, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $61,640.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(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 3—Regulatory Developments:
On July 23, 2014, the SEC adopted amendments to the rules that govern money market mutual funds. In part, the amendments will require structural changes to most types of money market funds to one extent or another; however, the SEC provided for an extended two-year transition period to comply with such structural requirements. At this time, management is evaluating the reforms adopted and the manner for implementing these reforms over time and its impact on the financial statements.
NOTE 4—Pending Liquidation:
At a Board meeting held on October 28-29, 2015, the Board approved the liquidation of the fund, effective on or about February 26, 2016. Effective November 30, 2015, the fund closed to any investments for new accounts, with certain exceptions.

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015. 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.
Financial markets proved volatile over the reporting period amid choppy U.S. and global economic growth. U.S. stocks advanced over the final months of 2014 and the spring of 2015, with some broad measures of market performance setting new record highs. Those gains were largely erased over the summer when global economic instability undermined investor sentiment, but a renewed rally in October enabled most broad stock indices to end the reporting period in positive territory. In contrast, international stocks generally lost a degree of value, with developed markets faring far better than emerging markets amid falling commodity prices and depreciating currency values. U.S. bonds generally produced modestly positive total returns, with municipal bonds and longer term U.S. government securities faring better, on average, than corporate-backed bonds.
We expect market volatility to persist over the near term until investors see greater clarity regarding short-term U.S. interest rates and global economic conditions. Our investment strategists and portfolio managers are monitoring developments carefully, keeping a close watch on credit spreads, currency values, commodity prices, corporate profits, economic trends in the emerging markets, and other developments that could influence investor sentiment. Over the longer term, we remain confident that markets are likely to benefit as investors increasingly recognize that inflation is likely to stay low, economic growth expectations are stabilizing, and monetary policies remain accommodative in most regions of the world. In our view, investors will continue to be well served under these circumstances by a long-term perspective and a disciplined investment approach.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015, 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, 2015, Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of -2.93%, Class C shares returned -3.66%, Class I shares returned -2.65%, and Class Y shares returned -2.59%.1 In comparison, the Citibank 30-day Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”) achieved a total return of 0.01% for the same period.2
Fixed-income securities produced disparate returns over the reporting period, with longer term U.S. government securities outperforming riskier high yield bonds. The fund lagged its benchmark, mainly due to its exposure to lower rated market sectors.
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.
Volatility Roiled Bond Markets
The reporting period began during a U.S. bond market rally in which aggressively accommodative monetary policies in Europe and Japan sent yields of sovereign bonds sharply lower, and intensifying demand from global investors seeking higher yielding alternatives sent longer term U.S. interest rates lower. Investor demand began to normalize in early 2015, and robust employment gains briefly sent long-term bond yields higher until investors responded to weaker-than-expected data stemming from a strengthening U.S. dollar and severe winter weather. The economy regained strength in the spring, and rising long-term U.S. Treasury yields erased previous price gains. However, renewed worries about economic instability in China again sparked a flight to quality over the summer, causing long-term bond yields to fall and prices to rise.
U.S. government securities produced some of the market’s higher returns in this turbulent environment, and investment-grade corporate bonds generally provided mildly positive total returns. In contrast, high yield securities lost value as credit spreads widened. Emerging-markets debt securities fared particularly poorly due to persistent economic concerns and plummeting commodity prices. Volatility among higher yielding, lower rated bonds were especially severe in August and September 2015.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
High Yield Exposure Dampened Fund Results
The fund’s underperformance compared to its benchmark was due, in large part, to its exposure to high yield securities, particularly those from issuers in the energy sector. Energy-related bonds were hit especially hard late in the reporting period by falling commodity prices and renewed concerns about global economic growth. Investment-grade corporate bonds detracted more mildly from relative results, mainly due to weakness exhibited by one holding from a major metals-and-mining company. To a lesser degree, the fund’s relative performance also was hampered by the impact of a strengthening U.S. dollar on some currency positions, including the Mexican peso and Norwegian krone, and by weakness among emerging-markets bonds denominated in U.S. dollars.
The fund achieved more positive results from asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, which fared relatively well amid robust demand for higher income in the recovering U.S. economy. Sovereign bonds from Australia and the peripheral nations of Europe also added value over the reporting period. As for our interest rate strategies, an emphasis on two- and 30-year maturities enabled the fund to benefit from narrowing yield differences across the market’s maturity spectrum, but our duration management strategy had little material influence on relative results.
During the reporting period, we employed swap options, credit default swaps, interest-rate futures contracts, and currency forward contracts to establish our strategies.
Finding Value in Dislocated Markets
We currently expect heightened fixed-income market volatility to persist over the near term. The Federal Reserve Board is widely expected to begin raising short-term interest rates, perhaps as soon as December 2015. In contrast, central banks in Europe, Japan, and China appear set to adopt more accommodative monetary policies.
In anticipation of these developments, we have maintained a more cautiously constructive investment posture. As of the reporting period’s end, the fund’s largest allocation was to asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities, which we believe can provide attractive levels of income and stability. Although we recently reduced the fund’s exposure to high yield securities, we have maintained a significant allocation to the asset class, focusing on shorter maturities in areas where we have identified attractive values. We also have maintained a modest position in overseas securities in markets where interest rates appear likely to fall.

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.
4
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. Class I and Class Y shares are not subject to any initial or deferred sales charges. 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, 2016, at which time it may be extended, modified, or terminated. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s returns would have been lower.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering ten series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to maximize total return through capital appreciation and 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.
MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 100 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y. Class A and Class C shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution and/or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class A shares generally 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 Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share generally to institutional investors, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class I and Class Y 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 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 (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative
31
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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.
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 generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
32
Investments in securities, floating rate loan interests and other securities, excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills), financial futures, options 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 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 within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally 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.
33
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Options traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are valued at the mean between the bid and asked price and 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 and are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Forward contracts are valued at the forward rate and are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2015 in valuing the fund’s investments:

†† Amount shown represents unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at period end.
At October 31, 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 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 foreign currency transactions 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 income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and
35
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by Dreyfus, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, The Bank of New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. During the period ended October 31, 2015, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $38,903 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act. Investments in affiliated investment companies during the period ended October 31, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | |
Affiliated Investment Company | Value 10/31/2014 ($) | Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Value 10/31/2015 ($) | Net Assets (%) |
Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund | 5,172,509 | 729,068,691 | 733,663,569 | 577,631 | .1 |
Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund | 21,907,460 | 273,459,343 | 243,570,252 | 51,796,551 | 7.7 |
Total | 27,079,969 | 1,002,528,034 | 977,233,821 | 52,374,182 | 7.8 |
(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
36
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.
The fund invests in floating rate loan interests. The floating rate loans in which the fund invests typically are below investment grade securities, and inherently speculative. In the event of the bankruptcy of a borrower, the fund could experience delays or limitations imposed by insolvency laws with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of any collateral securing the borrower’s loan.
(f) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are normally declared and paid on a monthly 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.
On October 30, 2015, the Board declared a cash dividend of $.051, $.043, $.054 and $.054 per share from undistributed investment income-net for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y shares, respectively, payable on November 2, 2015 (ex-dividend date), to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 30, 2015.
(g) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2015, 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 ended October 31, 2015, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
At October 31, 2015, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $16,874,993, accumulated capital losses $46,112,298 and unrealized depreciation $28,596,293.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.
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, 2015. The fund has $30,011,299 of short-term capital losses and $16,100,999 of long-term capital losses which can be carried forward for an unlimited period.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 were as follows: ordinary income $32,263,650 and $6,455,230, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2015, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for paydown gains and losses, foreign currency transactions, swap periodic payments and consent fees, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $12,984,588 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 $480 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. Prior to October 7, 2015, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $430 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, 2015, 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 was computed at the annual rate of .50% of the value of the fund's
38
average daily net assets and is payable monthly. Dreyfus has contractually agreed, from November 1, 2015 through March 1, 2016, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expenses of the fund, so that the expenses of Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y shares (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 .65%, .65%, .65% and .60% of the value of the respective class' average daily net assets. During the period ended October 31, 2015, there was no reduction in expenses pursuant to the undertaking.
During the period ended October 31, 2015, the Distributor retained $16,118 from commissions earned on sales of the fund's Class A shares and $17,303 from CDSCs on redemptions of the fund's Class C shares.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing its shares at an annual rate of .75% of the value of its average daily net assets. During the period ended October 31, 2015, Class C shares were charged $503,466 pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A and Class C shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of their average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (securities dealers, financial institutions or other industry professionals) with respect to these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2015, Class A and Class C shares were charged $513,518 and $167,822, respectively, pursuant to 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 or Shareholder Services Plan.
The fund has arrangements with the transfer agent and the custodian whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agency and custody fees.
39
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement for providing transfer agency and cash management services for the fund. The majority of transfer agency fees are comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis, while cash management fees are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended October 31, 2015, the fund was charged $10,024 for transfer agency services and $671 for cash management services. These fees are included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations. Cash management fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $38.
The fund compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. These fees are determined based on net assets, geographic region and transaction activity. During the period ended October 31, 2015, the fund was charged $195,217 pursuant to the custody agreement.
During the period ended October 31, 2015, the fund was charged $11,159 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer and his staff.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, forward contracts, financial futures, options transactions and swap transactions during the period ended October 31, 2015, amounted to $1,346,855,968 and $1,208,571,321, respectively.
Floating Rate Loan Interests: Floating rate instruments are loans and other securities with interest rates that adjust or “float” periodically. Floating rate loans are made by banks and other financial institutions to their corporate clients. The rates of interest on the loans adjust periodically by reference to a base lending rate, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a premium or credit spread. Floating rate loans reset
40
on periodic set dates, typically 30 to 90 days, but not to exceed one year. The fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.
Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. The fund enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements or similar agreements (collectively, “Master Agreements”) with its OTC derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties. Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under a Master Agreement, the fund may offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment in the event of default or termination.
Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended October 31, 2015 is discussed below.
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 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 guarantees the financial futures against default. Financial futures open at October 31, 2015 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 and foreign currencies, or as a substitute for an investment. The fund is subject to market risk, 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
41
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
obligates the writer to sell, the underlying financial instrument 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 financial instrument 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 financial instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the financial instrument 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. This risk is mitigated by Master Agreements between the fund and the counterparty and the posting of collateral, if any, by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty. The Statement of Operations reflects 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.
The following summarizes the fund’s call/put options written during the period ended October 31, 2015:

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 value of the contract decreases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates. Any realized or unrealized gains or losses which occurred during the period are reflected in the Statement of Operations. The fund is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund is also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on these forward contracts, which is generally limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract. This risk may be mitigated by Master Agreements, if any, between the fund and the counterparty and the posting of collateral, if any, by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty. The following summarizes open forward contracts at October 31, 2015:

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. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market or centrally cleared. 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.
For OTC swaps, the fund accrues for the interim payments on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Once the interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as a realized gain (loss) on swaps, in addition to realized gain (loss) recorded upon the termination of swap transactions 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
47
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
agreement’s term/event with the exception of forward starting interest rate swaps which are recorded as realized gains or losses on the termination date.
Upon entering into centrally cleared swap agreements, an initial margin deposit is required with a counterparty, which consists of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange on which the agreement is traded and is subject to change. The change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including upon termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap transactions.
Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional principal amount. The fund may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on a notional principal amount. The net interest received or paid on interest rate swap agreements is included within realized gain (loss) on swap transactions in the Statement of Operations. Interest rate swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and interest rate risk.
For OTC swaps, the fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the discounted value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the agreement’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk may be mitigated by Master Agreements, if any, between the fund and the counterparty and the posting of collateral, if any, by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty. There is minimal counterparty risk to the fund with centrally cleared swaps since they are settled through an exchange and the exchange guarantees these swap against default.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 obligation or index) occurs. Credit events may include a failure to pay interest or principal, bankruptcy, or restructuring. The fund enters into these agreements to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which it is not otherwise exposed. For those credit default swaps in which the fund is 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 agreements 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. This risk may be mitigated by Master Agreements, if any, between the fund and the counterparty and the posting of collateral, if any, by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
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 index issues entered into by the fund. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, underlying securities comprising the referenced index, 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. The following summarizes open credit default swaps entered into by the fund at October 31, 2015:

1 The maximum potential amount the fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the swap agreement.
2 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. Credit spreads are unaudited.
3 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc., including the statements of investments, financial futures and options written, as of October 31, 2015, 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 or period 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, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund as of October 31, 2015, 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 or period in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Tax Managed Growth Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015. 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.
Financial markets proved volatile over the reporting period amid choppy U.S. and global economic growth. U.S. stocks advanced over the final months of 2014 and the spring of 2015, with some broad measures of market performance setting new record highs. Those gains were largely erased over the summer when global economic instability undermined investor sentiment, but a renewed rally in October enabled most broad stock indices to end the reporting period in positive territory. In contrast, international stocks generally lost a degree of value, with developed markets faring far better than emerging markets amid falling commodity prices and depreciating currency values. U.S. bonds generally produced modestly positive total returns, with municipal bonds and longer term U.S. government securities faring better, on average, than corporate-backed bonds.
We expect market volatility to persist over the near term until investors see greater clarity regarding short-term U.S. interest rates and global economic conditions. Our investment strategists and portfolio managers are monitoring developments carefully, keeping a close watch on credit spreads, currency values, commodity prices, corporate profits, economic trends in the emerging markets, and other developments that could influence investor sentiment. Over the longer term, we remain confident that markets are likely to benefit as investors increasingly recognize that inflation is likely to stay low, economic growth expectations are stabilizing, and monetary policies remain accommodative in most regions of the world. In our view, investors will continue to be well served under these circumstances by a long-term perspective and a disciplined investment approach.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015, 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, 2015, Dreyfus Tax Managed Growth Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of -0.65%, Class C shares returned -1.42%, and Class I shares returned -0.43%.1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 5.21% for the same period.2
Moderate gains from the S&P 500 Index for the reporting period overall masked heightened volatility stemming from global economic concerns. The fund’s emphasis on industry leaders with international operations weighed on the fund’s performance compared to its benchmark.
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.
Global Economic Concerns Sparked Market Turmoil
The S&P 500 Index traced a choppy course over the 12-month reporting period. Despite a series of short-lived sell-offs in late 2014 and early 2015, the Index pressed to a new, all-time high in May before retreating amid growing worries about overseas developments and an approaching inflection point in U.S. monetary policy. Greece’s contentious debt standoff with the European Union rattled equity markets in late June. Then, more dramatically, the plunge in Chinese stocks and the surprise devaluation of the yuan helped push the Index into a steep decline in August. At its August low point, the S&P 500 Index had corrected more than 12% from the May peak.
The reporting period’s low would be tested in September before a rapid rebound in October recovered lost ground. For the reporting period overall, the S&P 500 Index posted a mid-single digit return, although the dispersion of returns among market sectors was quite broad. The consumer discretionary, information technology, and consumer staples sectors led the S&P 500 Index, while the energy and materials sectors, both of which tend to be very sensitive to commodity prices and emerging market demand, were the weakest.
International Exposure Weighed on Relative Performance
The fund’s relative performance strengthened amid the heightened volatility of the reporting period’s final three months, but its results lagged the S&P 500 Index for the 12-month reporting period overall. Our emphasis on industry leaders with international exposure generally restrained relative performance at a time when investors favored domestically

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
oriented businesses. In particular, our stock focus in the industrials and health care sectors proved detrimental. In the health care sector, managed care stocks outperformed the major pharmaceutical developers, which the fund emphasized. Underweighted exposure to the stronger consumer discretionary sector also hurt relative performance. With the persistent weakness in oil prices, an overweighted allocation to the energy sector undercut results, but this impact was reduced by our focus on major integrated oil companies and the avoidance of more cyclical oil service companies and gas utilities.
Factors that added value relative to the S&P 500 Index included overweighted exposure to the consumer staples sector, where stable, everyday businesses fared relatively well. An underweighted position in the materials sector also was beneficial, as was the lack of exposure to the weak telecom and utilities sectors.
Individual stocks making the largest positive contributions to the fund’s returns included Apple, Altria Group, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Walt Disney, NovoNordisk, and McDonald’s. The greatest detractors from returns were Chevron, Canadian Pacific Railway, Exxon Mobil, Franklin Resources, Imperial Oil, and QUALCOMM.
Positioned for Interest-Rate Normalization
Investors generally favored stocks of smaller and domestically-oriented companies when markets were awash with excess liquidity and monetary policies were extremely accommodative. Now conditions seem to be developing that would support a large-cap, high-quality portfolio bias. Historically, when interest rates begin to rise, particularly in a sluggish economic environment, stocks of large, high-quality companies tend to outperform. These companies generally have more options to protect their margins and absorb higher labor and interest costs. With their strong balance sheets and stable cash flows, they can continue to pursue their growth initiatives as rates rise, while giving cash back to shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases. The fund’s investment approach focuses on such companies. The quality metrics of industry-leading companies can offer a degree of protection as markets adjust to the prospect of more normal interest rates. Furthermore, any evidence of stabilization abroad is likely to prompt greater recognition of the value of their prominent, worldwide franchises.
November 16, 2015
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.
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 and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

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 Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 500 million shares of $.001 par value Common 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 sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution fees and/or Service Plan fees. Class A shares generally 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 Service 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, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: 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:
20
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. For open short positions, asked prices are 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 generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 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 within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2015 in valuing the fund’s investments:

† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
At October 31, 2014, $2,928,492 of exchange traded foreign equity securities were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy pursuant to the fund’s fair valuation procedures.
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the 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, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, The Bank of New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. During the period ended October 31, 2015, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $1,186 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
22
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act. Investments in affiliated investment companies during the period ended October 31, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | | |
Affiliated Investment Company | Value 10/31/2014 ($) | Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Value 10/31/2015 ($) | Net Assets (%) |
Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund | 801,064 | 22,030,193 | 22,039,104 | 792,153 | .5 |
Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund | - | 22,671,378 | 20,114,486 | 2,556,892 | 1.4 |
Total | 801,064 | 44,701,571 | 42,153,590 | 3,349,045 | 1.9 |
(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are normally declared and paid quarterly. 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, 2015, 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 ended October 31, 2015, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2015 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
23

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 brokage fees, taxes, interest expenses, commitment fees on borrowings, Distribution Plan fees and Service Plan fees, fees and expenses of the 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).

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for General AMT-Free Municipal Money Market Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015. 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.
Financial markets proved volatile over the reporting period amid choppy U.S. and global economic growth. U.S. stocks advanced over the final months of 2014 and the spring of 2015, with some broad measures of market performance setting new record highs. Those gains were largely erased over the summer when global economic instability undermined investor sentiment, but a renewed rally in October enabled most broad stock indices to end the reporting period in positive territory. In contrast, international stocks generally lost a degree of value, with developed markets faring far better than emerging markets amid falling commodity prices and depreciating currency values. U.S. bonds generally produced modestly positive total returns, with municipal bonds and longer term U.S. government securities faring better, on average, than corporate-backed bonds.
We expect market volatility to persist over the near term until investors see greater clarity regarding short-term U.S. interest rates and global economic conditions. Our investment strategists and portfolio managers are monitoring developments carefully, keeping a close watch on credit spreads, currency values, commodity prices, corporate profits, economic trends in the emerging markets, and other developments that could influence investor sentiment. Over the longer term, we remain confident that markets are likely to benefit as investors increasingly recognize that inflation is likely to stay low, economic growth expectations are stabilizing, and monetary policies remain accommodative in most regions of the world. In our view, investors will continue to be well served under these circumstances by a long-term perspective and a disciplined investment approach.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

J. Charles Cardona
President

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2014 through October 31, 2015, as provided by Bill Vasiliou, Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015, General AMT-Free Municipal Money Market Fund’s Dreyfus shares for each class produced a yield of 0.01%. Taking into consideration the effects of compounding, the fund’s shares for each class produced effective yields of 0.01% for the same period.1
The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) left the federal funds rate unchanged throughout the reporting period during a choppy economic recovery, keeping yields of municipal money market instruments low.
Effective September 1, 2015, the fund’s name changed from Dreyfus AMT-Free Municipal Reserves to General AMT-Free Municipal Money Market Fund. Its BASIC shares and Investor shares were redesignated as Dreyfus shares and Class A shares, respectively.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks a high level of current income, consistent with stability of principal, which 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.
Uneven Economic Recovery Continues
The reporting period began in the midst of a sustained economic recovery characterized by falling unemployment, robust job creation, and improved consumer and business confidence. Although long-term interest rates typically rise in a growing economy, bond yields declined in late 2014 when global investors seeking more competitive yields flocked to U.S. Treasury securities. This trend began to reverse in early 2015 as investor demand normalized, and longer term interest rates drifted higher.
The economic recovery stumbled during the winter of 2015, posting a 0.6% annualized growth rate for the first quarter due to harsh weather and a strengthening U.S. dollar. The soft patch proved temporary, and U.S. GDP reaccelerated at a 3.9% annualized rate over the second quarter when labor markets resumed their gains and housing markets strengthened. Longer term interest rates moved higher through much of the spring and summer, until economic instability and currency devaluations in China sparked renewed risk aversion among investors. In spite of volatility among longer term interest rates, short-term rates remained steady as the Fed maintained the overnight federal funds rate in a range between 0% and 0.25%.
Issuance continued to be a main driver of the municipal money markets. Issuance fell in 2015 as the need for short-term financing diminished and tax receipts stayed strong,
3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
supporting better financial conditions for many municipalities and keeping short-term yields anchored near record lows. Robust demand for a limited supply of variable rate demand notes (VRDNs) put downward pressure on yields of variable-rate instruments. However, the outlook for higher interest rates, combined with money market reform and a well-received 2015 note issuance season, has driven the one-year note index above historical lows.
Municipal credit quality generally has continued to improve. Many states and municipalities have seen tax revenues climb beyond pre-recession levels, enabling them to balance their budgets and replenish reserves. The degree of recovery by region, however, remains varied.
Focus on Quality and Liquidity
Careful and well-researched credit selection has remained key to the fund’s management. We have focused mainly on instruments with strong liquidity characteristics, including VRDNs, and we have maintained broad diversification across municipal issuers and instruments backed by third parties. More specifically, we have identified stable credits meeting our investment criteria among state general obligation bonds; essential service revenue bonds issued by water, sewer, and electric enterprises; certain local credits with strong financial positions and stable tax bases; and various healthcare and education issuers. We have continued to maintain the fund’s weighted average maturity in line with industry averages.
Fed Expected to Raise Rates Gradually
At its October meeting, the Fed again refrained from implementing long-awaited rate hikes. Monetary policymakers noted that “economic activity has been expanding at a moderate pace,” and they left the federal funds rate unchanged “to support continued progress toward maximum employment and price stability.” While many analysts expect a series of rate hikes to begin as soon as the Fed’s next meeting in December, those increases are likely to be modest and gradual.
Nonetheless, as noted above, yields of one-year municipal notes have already begun to move somewhat higher. While we will monitor the market for further evidence of this trend, we continue to believe that an emphasis on preservation of capital and liquidity remains the prudent course for fund management.
November 16, 2015
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 General AMT-Free Municipal Money Market Fund from May 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015. 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, 2015 | |
| | | Class A
| Class B | Dreyfus Class | Class R |
Expenses paid per $1,000† | $ .86 | $ .86 | $ .86 | $ .86 |
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, 2015 | |
| | | Class A
| Class B | Dreyfus Class | Class R |
Expenses paid per $1,000† | $ .87 | $ .87 | $ .87 | $ .87 |
Ending value (after expenses) | $ 1,024.35 | $ 1,024.35 | $ 1,024.35 | $ 1,024.35 |
† Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .17% for Class A, .17 for Class B, .17 for Dreyfus Class and .17% for Class R Shares, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
General AMT-Free Municipal Money Market 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 a high level of current income, consistent with stability of principal, that is exempt from federal income taxes. 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.
The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved, effective September 1, 2015, a change in the fund’s name from “Dreyfus AMT-Free Municipal Reserves” to “General AMT-Free Municipal Money Market Fund.” The fund’s Investor shares and BASIC shares have been redesignated as Class A and Dreyfus Class, respectively. The Board approved, effective November 1, 2015, a change in the fund’s fiscal year end from October 31 to November 30.
MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, 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 Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Dreyfus Class and Class R. Class A and Class B shares are sold 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. Dreyfus Class are sold to any investor and bear no Distribution Plan or Shareholder Services Plan fees. 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 an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, 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.
It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no
24
assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.
The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities 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 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.
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.
25
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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, 2015 in valuing the fund’s investments:
| |
Valuation Inputs | Short-Term Investments ($)† |
Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices | - |
Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs | 219,584,152 |
Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs | - |
Total | 219,584,152 |
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations. |
At October 31, 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost 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.
26
(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, 2015, 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 ended October 31, 2015, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2015 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2015, 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, 2015 and October 31, 2014 were as follows: tax-exempt income $82 and $92, ordinary income $0 and $30,214, and long-term capital gains $17,339 and $0, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2015, 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 $17,339 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, 2015, 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).

(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 an annual rate of .50% 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
27
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
fees, taxes, Distribution Plan fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees and 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, 2015, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amounted to $16,453.
Dreyfus 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 $1,744,697 during the period ended October 31, 2015.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class A shares and Class B shares may pay annually up to .25% of the value of their average daily net assets (Class A shares are currently limited by the Board to .20%) attributable to Class A shares and Class B shares to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares and Class B shares. During the period ended October 31, 2015, Class A shares and Class B shares were charged $38,654 and $437,199, 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 for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of such shareholder accounts. Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the Distributor may enter into Shareholder Services Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Service Agents and make payments to Service Agents with respect to these services. During the period ended October 31, 2015, Class B shares were charged $437,199, 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.
28
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 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 $93,897 and Distribution Plan fees $40,349 and Shareholder Services Plan fees $37,358, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $147,599.
(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.
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, 2015, the fund engaged in purchases and sales of securities pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the Act amounting to $96,430,000 and $99,810,000 respectively.
NOTE 4—Regulatory Developments:
On July 23, 2014, the SEC adopted amendments to the rules that govern money market mutual funds. In part, the amendments will require structural changes to most types of money market funds to one extent or another; however, the SEC provided for an extended two-year transition period to comply with such structural requirements. At this time, management is evaluating the reforms adopted and the manner for implementing these reforms over time and its impact on the financial statements.

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 General AMT-Free Municipal Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) (formerly known as Dreyfus AMT-Free Municipal Reserves), a series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc., including the statement of investments, as of October 31, 2015, 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, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of General AMT-Free Municipal Money Market Fund as of October 31, 2015, 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 PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for General Treasury & Agency Money Market Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015. 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.
Financial markets proved volatile over the reporting period amid choppy U.S. and global economic growth. U.S. stocks advanced over the final months of 2014 and the spring of 2015, with some broad measures of market performance setting new record highs. Those gains were largely erased over the summer when global economic instability undermined investor sentiment, but a renewed rally in October enabled most broad stock indices to end the reporting period in positive territory. In contrast, international stocks generally lost a degree of value, with developed markets faring far better than emerging markets amid falling commodity prices and depreciating currency values. U.S. bonds generally produced modestly positive total returns, with municipal bonds and longer term U.S. government securities faring better, on average, than corporate-backed bonds.
We expect market volatility to persist over the near term until investors see greater clarity regarding short-term U.S. interest rates and global economic conditions. Our investment strategists and portfolio managers are monitoring developments carefully, keeping a close watch on credit spreads, currency values, commodity prices, corporate profits, economic trends in the emerging markets, and other developments that could influence investor sentiment. Over the longer term, we remain confident that markets are likely to benefit as investors increasingly recognize that inflation is likely to stay low, economic growth expectations are stabilizing, and monetary policies remain accommodative in most regions of the world. In our view, investors will continue to be well served under these circumstances by a long-term perspective and a disciplined investment approach.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2014, through October 31, 2015, as provided by Patricia A. Larkin, Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015, General Treasury and Agency Money Market Fund’s Class A shares produced a yield of 0.00%, and Class R shares yielded 0.00%. Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund’s Class A shares and Class R shares produced effective yields of 0.00% and 0.00%, respectively.1
The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) left the federal funds rate unchanged, and yields of U.S. government obligations remained near historical lows.
Effective September 1, 2015, the fund’s name changed from Dreyfus U.S. Treasury Reserves to General Treasury and Agency Money Market Fund, and its Investor shares were redesignated as Class A shares.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with stability of principal. We attempt to provide shareholders with an investment vehicle that is made up of direct U.S. government obligations with remaining maturities of 13 months or less, as well as repurchase agreements with securities dealers, which are backed by U.S. government securities. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests exclusively in securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and repurchase agreements (including tri-party repurchase agreements) in respect to such securities.
Uneven U.S. Economic Recovery Continued
U.S. GDP grew at a 2.1% annualized rate during the fourth quarter of 2014 when labor markets strengthened and consumer and business sentiment improved, but growth moderated to an anemic 0.6% annualized rate during the first quarter of 2015. Economic activity was weighed down, in part, by an appreciating U.S. dollar sparked by central banks’ responses to global economic instability and plummeting commodity prices. Severe winter weather also contributed to the slowdown. Nonetheless, job creation generally remained robust, and the unemployment rate fell from 5.7% at the start of the reporting period to 5.5% at the end of March 2015.
The recovery accelerated in the spring. The unemployment rate dipped to 5.4% in April, and 187,000 new jobs were created. In May, employers created 260,000 jobs and average hourly wages rose 0.3%, yet the unemployment rate ticked higher to 5.5%. Meanwhile, stabilizing currency exchange rates enabled the U.S. trade deficit to shrink significantly. Fuel prices rebounded, sending inflation higher. Sentiment in the financial markets deteriorated in June during a debt crisis in Greece, but the U.S. economy continued to gain traction. 245,000 new jobs were added during the month, the unemployment rate fell to 5.3%, and consumer spending rose. The U.S. economy grew at a 3.9% annualized rate over the second quarter.
July brought more good news when 223,000 jobs were added and the unemployment rate stayed steady. Average hourly wages increased, as did retail sales. Both the manufacturing
3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
and service sectors continued to expand. On the other hand, equity markets reacted negatively to greater-than-expected economic weakness in China.
While the unemployment rate fell to 5.1% in August, only 153,000 jobs were added. Economic instability in China continued to roil the financial markets after the country’s central bank depreciated its currency. Commodity prices fell in response, giving back previous gains. On a brighter note, U.S. wages and personal incomes grew at a healthy pace.
Disappointing job creation continued in September with 137,000 new positions. Average hourly wages declined slightly. The unemployment rate stayed at 5.1% due to workers leaving the labor force. Although the manufacturing sector expanded for the 33rd straight month, the rate of increase was the lowest in more than two years. On the other hand, activity in the service sector continued to grow strongly, personal incomes rose, and real personal consumption expenditures climbed. U.S. GDP growth decelerated to an estimated 1.5% annualized rate during the third quarter, reflecting high business inventory levels and lower exports.
October brought generally good economic news. An estimated 271,000 jobs were created, and the unemployment rate fell to 5.0%, its lowest level since April 2008. Meanwhile, average annual wages increased at a 4.3% rate compared to September. Retail sales moved mildly higher, and fuel prices continued to decline. In contrast, housing starts fell sharply, ending the month below year-ago levels.
Fed Expected to Raise Rates Gradually
At its October meeting, the Fed again refrained from implementing the first in a series of widely expected rate hikes. Monetary policymakers noted that “economic activity has been expanding at a moderate pace,” but they left the federal funds rate unchanged “to support continued progress toward maximum employment and price stability.” While many analysts expect rate hikes to begin as soon as the Fed’s next meeting in December, those increases are likely to be modest and gradual.
Therefore, we intend for now to maintain the fund’s weighted average maturity in a range we consider to be in line with industry averages, but we are prepared to adjust our strategies quickly as market conditions change.
November 16, 2015
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 General Treasury and Agency Money Market Fund from May 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015. 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:
General Treasury and Agency Money Market 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 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.
The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved, effective September 1, 2015, a change in the fund’s name from “Dreyfus U.S. Treasury Reserves” to “General Treasury and Agency Money Market Fund.” Investor shares of the fund have been redesignated as Class A shares. The Board approved, effective November 1, 2015, a change in the fund’s fiscal year end from October 31 to November 30.
MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, 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 Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Class A and Class R. Class A shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries 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 an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution Plan fee. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, 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.
It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.
The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to
13
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities 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 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.
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).
14
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, 2015 in valuing the fund’s investments:
| |
Valuation Inputs | Short-Term Investments ($)† |
Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices | - |
Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs | 379,943,699 |
Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs | - |
Total | 379,943,699 |
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations. |
At October 31, 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Cost of investments represents amortized cost.
The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by Dreyfus, 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. The fund may also jointly enter into one or more repurchase agreements with other Dreyfus-managed funds in accordance with an exemptive order granted by the SEC
15
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
pursuant to section 17(d) and Rule 17d-1 under the Act. Any joint repurchase agreements must be collateralized fully by U.S. Government securities.
(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, 2015, 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 ended October 31, 2015, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2015 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2015, 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, 2015 and October 31, 2014 were all ordinary income.
During the period ended October 31, 2015, 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 $1,112 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, 2015, 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).
16
NOTE 2—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 an annual rate of .50% 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, 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 allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). During the period ended October 31, 2015, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amounted to $36,407.
Dreyfus 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 $1,960,925 during the period ended October 31, 2015.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class A 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 Class A shares to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. During the period ended October 31, 2015, Class A shares were charged $280,741 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 to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $137,431 and Distribution Plan fees $28,902, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $152,885.
17
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(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 3—Regulatory Developments:
On July 23, 2014, the SEC adopted amendments to the rules that govern money market mutual funds. In part, the amendments will require structural changes to most types of money market funds to one extent or another; however, the SEC provided for an extended two-year transition period to comply with such structural requirements. At this time, management is evaluating the reforms adopted and the manner for implementing these reforms over time and its impact on the financial statements.

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

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).

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, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of General Treasury and Agency Money Market Fund as of October 31, 2015, 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.

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.
