A LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2015 through October 31, 2016. 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.
Stocks and bonds generally advanced over the reporting period in the midst of heightened market volatility stemming from various global economic developments. Toward the end of 2015, investor sentiment deteriorated amid sluggish global economic growth, falling commodity prices, and the first increase in short-term U.S. interest rates in nearly a decade. These worries sparked sharp stock market declines in January 2016, but equities began to rally in February when U.S. monetary policymakers refrained from additional rate hikes, other central banks eased their monetary policies further, and commodity prices began to rebound. Stocks generally continued to climb through the summer, driving several broad measures of U.S. stock market performance to record highs in July and August before moderating as a result of uncertainty regarding U.S. elections and potential rate hikes. In the bond market, yields of high-quality sovereign bonds generally moved lower and their prices increased in response to robust investor demand for current income in a low interest rate environment.
The outcome of the U.S. presidential election and ongoing global economic headwinds suggest that uncertainty will persist in the financial markets over the foreseeable future. Some asset classes and industry groups may benefit from a changing economic and political landscape, while others probably will face challenges. Consequently, selectivity could become a more important determinant of investment success. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of our observations with your financial advisor.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

Mark D. Santero
Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period from November 1, 2015 through October 31, 2016, as provided by Nancy G. Rogers, Paul Benson, and Stephanie Shu, Portfolio Managers
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016, Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund’s Investor shares produced a total return of 3.85%, and its Class I shares produced a total return of 4.11%.1 In comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”) achieved a total return of 4.37% for the same period.2
Bonds generally gained value as long-term interest rates declined and investor demand for current income remained robust. 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.
As of August 31, 2016, the fund’s BASIC shares were renamed Class I shares.
As of August 24, 2016, the fund’s broad-based benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, was renamed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
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 2,750 securities as compared to approximately 9,700 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, 2016, the average duration of the fund and Index were each approximately 5.6 years.
Strong Investor Demand Supported Bond Prices
Investors grew increasingly averse to risks over the final months of 2015 due to sluggish growth in international markets and a December increase in short-term U.S. interest rates. Riskier fixed-income securities suffered particularly steep declines in January 2016 due to an economic downturn in China, plunging commodity prices, and worries about the potential economic impact of additional U.S. rate hikes.
Investor sentiment began to improve in mid-February in response to encouraging economic data, rebounding commodity prices, and a weakening U.S. dollar. Nonetheless, longer term interest rates remained low through the spring when U.S. monetary policymakers refrained from additional rate hikes, business investment trends remained sluggish, and inflationary pressures stayed muted. Moreover, higher-yielding U.S. bonds recovered from earlier weakness amid robust demand as global investors sought higher levels of current income than were available in overseas markets.
A referendum in the United Kingdom whose outcome was for it to leave the European Union triggered another flight to quality in late June, sending yields of long-term U.S.
3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Treasury securities to historical lows. Investor sentiment bounced back quickly, and riskier bond market sectors continued to advance over the summer when demand from global investors stayed strong. In October, the market gave back some of its earlier gains amid growing uncertainty regarding the outcome of the U.S. election, but the Index ended the reporting period with a solidly positive return.
Higher-Yielding Bonds Led the Market Rally
Lower-rated corporate-backed securities led the bond market’s advance in this constructive environment. Most sectors of the corporate bond market fared well, with the industrials sector generally outperforming bonds issued by companies in the financials and utilities sectors. As a result, yield differences narrowed along the corporate bond market’s credit-quality spectrum.
Although 10-year U.S. Treasury securities traded in a relatively narrow range over the reporting period, longer-term bond yields fell and short-term yields increased. Consequently, longer-term U.S. government securities produced higher total returns than their shorter-term counterparts. Mortgage-backed securities outperformed U.S. Treasury securities, on average, as their prices were supported by robust demand from overseas buyers and the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) policy of reinvesting the income from its bond portfolio in agency-backed mortgages.
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 growth prospects for the global economy remain subdued, which should give most central banks little reason to moderate their accommodative monetary policies. While the Fed is expected to raise short-term interest rates relatively soon, any increases are likely to be modest. On the other hand, the upcoming change in U.S. government leadership has created a degree of uncertainty regarding future fiscal and monetary policies, which could have implications for inflation and economic conditions.
As of October 31, 2016, approximately 28.0% of the fund’s assets was invested in mortgage-backed securities, 1.8% in commercial mortgage-backed securities, 31.8% in credit bonds and asset-backed securities, and 38.4% 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 that is closely aligned with the Index.
November 15, 2016
Bonds 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.
2 Source: Lipper Inc. — Reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital gain distributions. The Bloomberg 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. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering nine series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to match the total return of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond 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.
On August 31, 2016, the fund redesignated BASIC shares as Class I shares.
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 Class I. Investor shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution Plan fees. 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 Plan fees. 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 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
65
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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.
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
66
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.
The Service is engaged 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, 2016 in valuing the fund’s investments:

† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
At October 31, 2016, there were no transfers between levels 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, 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
68
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. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2016, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $61,038 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act. Investments in affiliated investment companies during the period ended October 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | |
Affiliated Investment Company | Value 10/31/2015 ($) | Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Value 10/31/2016 ($) | Net Assets (%) |

† During the period ended October 31, 2016, Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund was acquired by Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Money Market Fund.
†† Formerly Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund.
(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
69
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2016, 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, 2016, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2016 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2016, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $7,802,178, undistributed capital gains $4,808,880 and unrealized appreciation $63,592,618.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015 were as follows: ordinary income $66,839,102 and $64,339,909, and long-term capital gains $1,633,659 and $11,443,450, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2016, 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 $4,938,479 and decreased accumulated net realized gain
70
(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 $810 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 5, 2016, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $555 million and prior to January 11, 2016, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $480 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, 2016, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with Dreyfus, Dreyfus provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. Dreyfus also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay Dreyfus a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .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, 2016, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amounted to $180,342.
(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. During the period ended October 31, 2016, Investor shares were charged $2,680,169 pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
71
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 $307,927 and Distribution Plan fees $235,574, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $15,383.
(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, 2016, amounted to $3,566,433,659 and $3,670,435,344, respectively, of which $1,225,871,595 in purchases and $1,227,905,512 in sales were from mortgage dollar transactions.
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, 2016, 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 “Statement of 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.
72
At October 31, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,571,611,658; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $63,601,818, consisting of $71,205,416 gross unrealized appreciation and $7,603,598 gross unrealized depreciation.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc., including the statements of investments and TBA Sale Commitments, as of October 31, 2016, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2016, 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 Bond Market Index Fund as of October 31, 2016, 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 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2015 through October 31, 2016. 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.
Stocks and bonds generally advanced over the reporting period in the midst of heightened market volatility stemming from various global economic developments. Toward the end of 2015, investor sentiment deteriorated amid sluggish global economic growth, falling commodity prices, and the first increase in short-term U.S. interest rates in nearly a decade. These worries sparked sharp stock market declines in January 2016, but equities began to rally in February when U.S. monetary policymakers refrained from additional rate hikes, other central banks eased their monetary policies further, and commodity prices began to rebound. Stocks generally continued to climb through the summer, driving several broad measures of U.S. stock market performance to record highs in July and August before moderating as a result of uncertainty regarding U.S. elections and potential rate hikes. In the bond market, yields of high-quality sovereign bonds generally moved lower and their prices increased in response to robust investor demand for current income in a low interest rate environment.
The outcome of the U.S. presidential election and ongoing global economic headwinds suggest that uncertainty will persist in the financial markets over the foreseeable future. Some asset classes and industry groups may benefit from a changing economic and political landscape, while others probably will face challenges. Consequently, selectivity could become a more important determinant of investment success. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of our observations with your financial advisor.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

Mark D. Santero
Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the reporting period of November 1, 2015, through October 31, 2016, as provided by George E. DeFina and John C. Bailer, Portfolio Managers
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016, Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund produced a total return of 3.15%.1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 4.49% for the same period.2
U.S. stocks gained value during the reporting period on the strength of modest economic growth. The fund lagged its benchmark, largely due to underweighted exposure to richly valued utilities stocks.
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.
Macroeconomic Shifts Prompted Volatility in Stocks
U.S. equities experienced high levels of volatility in late 2015. Some industry groups gained value in response to higher corporate earnings, including the information technology, health care and financials sectors. In contrast, the energy and basic materials sectors declined due to falling commodity prices.
Investor sentiment turned more broadly negative in early 2016 amid the continuing fall in oil prices, fears that higher short-term interest rates might weigh on U.S. and global economic growth, and disappointing economic data from China. Stocks rebounded sharply from late-February through mid-April when commodity prices began to rebound, Chinese economic conditions improved, major central banks further eased their monetary policies, and U.S. monetary policymakers indicated that additional U.S. rate increases were likely to be delayed.
The market’s advance faltered in late April 2016 over concerns regarding the United Kingdom’s upcoming referendum to determine whether to remain a member of the European Union or leave in a so-called “Brexit” with unclear consequences for the broader global economy. Global equities fell sharply after Britons voted in late June to leave the European Union. However, the decline proved short lived when investors realized that Britain’s departure would not take place immediately, and that the long-term global economic impact was likely to be limited. U.S. stocks continued to climb, and the S&P 500 Index set new record highs in July and August. Market averages generally lost some ground in October due to growing uncertainty regarding the outcome of U.S. elections.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Sector Allocations Detracted from Gains
The Federal Reserve Board’s decision to delay expected rate hikes created a relatively positive environment for richly valued, high dividend yielding utility stocks during much of the reporting period. However, our disciplined stock selection process led us to avoid investments we believed to be overvalued, leaving the fund with little exposure to utilities and causing returns to lag the benchmark.
In addition, several financial holdings were hurt by low interest rates and falling bond yields. These included diversified financial institutions, such as Voya Financial and The PNC Financial Services Group, as well as insurers, such as American International Group. Energy exploration-and-production company Hess lost ground when the company failed to meet production expectations. Delta Air Lines suffered due to concerns about capacity management. Other disappointing performers included agricultural chemical maker CF Industries, media content provider Viacom and cruise line operator Carnival.
The fund’s individual stock selections in other market sectors generally delivered better results. Consumer discretionary stocks produced particularly robust gains, led by specialty retailer ULTA Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance and media companies Time Warner and Omnicom Group. In the health care sector, underweighted exposure to lagging biotechnology developers bolstered relative performance, as did holdings of medical equipment maker Boston Scientific, which introduced well-received new products. Among real estate investment trusts (REITs), the fund’s investment in Communications Sales & Leasing benefited from the company’s accretive acquisitions. Notably strong performers in other areas included semiconductor equipment and chip makers Applied Materials, Texas Instruments and Microchip Technology, financial services provider Bank of America, construction materials provider Vulcan Materials and telecommunications company AT&T.
Focusing on Companies Poised for Good Earnings Growth
As of the end of the reporting period, the U.S. economy has continued to demonstrate signs of modest expansion. Therefore, we currently are emphasizing companies poised to deliver positive earnings growth in an environment of modest inflationary pressures and gradually rising interest rates. As of the end of the reporting period, we have found a relatively large number of attractive opportunities in certain areas of the financials, materials, information technology, telecommunications services and consumer discretionary sectors. On the other hand, the fund holds underweighted exposure to the utilities, industrials, consumer staples, real estate, health care and energy 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 nine 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 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 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
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 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, 2016 in valuing the fund’s investments:
| | | | |
| Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices | Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs | Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs | Total |

At October 31, 2016, there were no transfers between levels 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, and it
17
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
affiliates, 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. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2016, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $29,921 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, 2016 were as follows:

† During the period ended October 31, 2016, Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund was acquired by Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Money Market Fund.
†† Formerly Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund.
(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, 2016, 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, 2016, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2016 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2016, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $1,826,552, undistributed capital gains $11,448,480 and unrealized appreciation $82,031,919.
19
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015 were as follows: ordinary income $6,037,227 and $23,960,430, and long-term capital gains $57,315,176 and $40,951,063, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2016, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for real estate investment trusts and dividend reclassification, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $2,775 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 $810 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 5, 2016, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $555 million and prior to January 11, 2016, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $480 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, 2016, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with Dreyfus, Dreyfus provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. Dreyfus also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay Dreyfus a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .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

A LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2015 through October 31, 2016. 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.
Stocks and bonds generally advanced over the reporting period in the midst of heightened market volatility stemming from various global economic developments. Toward the end of 2015, investor sentiment deteriorated amid sluggish global economic growth, falling commodity prices, and the first increase in short-term U.S. interest rates in nearly a decade. These worries sparked sharp stock market declines in January 2016, but equities began to rally in February when U.S. monetary policymakers refrained from additional rate hikes, other central banks eased their monetary policies further, and commodity prices began to rebound. Stocks generally continued to climb through the summer, driving several broad measures of U.S. stock market performance to record highs in July and August before moderating as a result of uncertainty regarding U.S. elections and potential rate hikes. In the bond market, yields of high-quality sovereign bonds generally moved lower and their prices increased in response to robust investor demand for current income in a low interest rate environment.
The outcome of the U.S. presidential election and ongoing global economic headwinds suggest that uncertainty will persist in the financial markets over the foreseeable future. Some asset classes and industry groups may benefit from a changing economic and political landscape, while others probably will face challenges. Consequently, selectivity could become a more important determinant of investment success. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of our observations with your financial advisor.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

Mark D. Santero
Chief Executive Officer

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period from November 1, 2015 through October 31, 2016, as provided by Thomas J. Durante, CFA, Karen Q. Wong, CFA, and Richard A. Brown, CFA, Portfolio Managers
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016, Dreyfus Institutional S&P 500 Index Fund’s Class I shares produced a total return of 4.28%.1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 4.49% for the same period.2,3
U.S. stocks achieved moderately positive returns, on average, as a rally over the spring and summer sent the S&P 500 Index and other broad measures of stock market performance to record highs before gains moderated in advance of U.S. elections. 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.
As of August 31, 2016, the fund was renamed from Dreyfus BASIC S&P 500 Stock Index Fund to Dreyfus Institutional S&P 500 Index Fund and the existing shares became Class I shares.
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 11 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.
Stocks Advanced Despite Macroeconomic Headwinds
Stocks proved volatile over the final months of 2015 when global investors grew more averse to risks in light of sluggish growth in Europe, Japan, and other international markets, and U.S. investors responded cautiously to the first increase in short-term U.S. interest rates in nearly a decade. In January 2016, disappointing economic data in China sparked severe declines in commodity prices, and investors worried that additional U.S. rate hikes might weigh on the domestic economic recovery. Consequently, large-cap stocks fell sharply during the month.
The market began to reverse direction in mid-February when investors responded positively to relatively strong U.S. economic data and better-than-expected corporate earnings. The market rally continued through the spring when commodity prices began to rebound, U.S. monetary policymakers refrained from implementing additional rate hikes, and overseas central banks further eased their monetary policies. Although a referendum in the United Kingdom to leave the European Union introduced renewed market turmoil in late June, equities bounced back quickly, enabling the S&P 500 Index to reach record highs in July and August. However, U.S. stocks gave up a portion of their previous gains in October amid growing uncertainty regarding the outcome of the U.S. election.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Income-Oriented Stocks Fueled Market’s Advance
The S&P 500 Index’s advance was led over the reporting period by the information technology sector, where a number of companies were rewarded for growth and shareholder-friendly structural developments. Innovations in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, data analytics, robotics, and other productivity-enhancing technologies helped drive earnings growth for a number of companies. In addition, an early decline in technology stock prices sparked a flurry of mergers-and-acquisitions activity in the sector, helping to boost the stock prices of larger companies making accretive acquisitions. Furthermore, some of the largest technology firms offered competitive dividend yields, which attracted income-oriented investors in the low-interest-rate environment.
The consumer staples sector also benefited from the attractiveness of high dividend yields to investors seeking higher levels of current income. Moreover, improving employment trends and recent wage growth have boosted consumer spending on food, beverages, and other necessities. In the utilities sector, high dividend yields and greater demand for electricity in the recovering economy supported stock prices.
On the other hand, the health care sector generally lost value over the reporting period in response to concerns about potential regulatory action to rein in drug prices. Biotechnology and pharmaceutical developers were further undermined by a change in tax regulations that derailed some high-profile mergers. Meanwhile, health insurers struggled with losses incurred by individual policies under the Affordable Care Act. In the consumer discretionary sector, specialty retailers reported disappointing sales volumes, media companies earned lower-than-expected advertising revenues, and housing-related companies were hurt by slowing residential construction trends.
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, commodity prices have stabilized, and aggressively accommodative monetary policies remain at work in international markets. However, the recent U.S. elections have injected a degree of uncertainty into the future of U.S. fiscal and monetary policies. As always, we have continued to monitor the factors considered by the fund’s investment model in light of current market conditions.
November 15, 2016
Equities 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Institutional 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 nine 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.
The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), approved, effective August 31, 2016, a change in the fund’s name from “Dreyfus BASIC S&P 500 Stock Index Fund” to “Dreyfus Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund.” The existing fund shares were redesignated as Class I shares.
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 Service Plan fees. Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or a contingent deferred sales charge.
The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
28
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:
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
29
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 Board. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Service is engaged under the general supervision of the Board.
Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Depository Receipts and financial futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized 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, 2016 in valuing the fund’s investments:

†† Amount shown represents unrealized (depreciation) at period end.
At October 31, 2016, there were no transfers between levels 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, 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
31
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2016, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $40,038 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act. Investments in affiliated investment companies during the period ended October 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | |
Affiliated Investment Company | Value 10/31/2015 ($) | Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Value 10/31/2016 ($) | Net Assets (%) |

† During the period ended October 31, 2016, Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund was acquired by Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Money Market Fund.
†† Formerly Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund.
(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.
32
(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, 2016, 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, 2016, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2016 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2016, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $14,359,549, undistributed capital gains $21,938,477 and unrealized appreciation $974,420,994.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015 were as follows: ordinary income $44,021,942 and $40,112,534, and long-term capital gains $12,102,938 and $0, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2016, 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 $968,602 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 $810 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 5, 2016, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $555 million and prior to January 11, 2016, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $480 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
33
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2016, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with Dreyfus, Dreyfus provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. Dreyfus also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay Dreyfus a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at 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 expense, 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, 2016, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amounted to $170,369.
(b) The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $379,297, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $14,169.
(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, 2016, amounted to $142,841,805 and $108,483,267, respectively.
Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended October 31, 2016 is discussed below.
Financial Futures: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including equity price risk, as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund invests in financial futures in order to manage its exposure to or protect
34
against changes in the market. A financial futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a counterparty, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statement of Operations. When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss which is reflected in the Statement of Operations. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with financial futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange guarantees the financial futures against default. Financial futures open at October 31, 2016 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
The following summarizes the average market value of derivatives outstanding during the period ended October 31, 2016:
| | |
| | Average Market Value ($) |
Equity financial futures | | 42,765,957 |
| | |
At October 31, 2016, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,256,047,161; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $974,420,994, consisting of $1,034,170,672 gross unrealized appreciation and $59,749,678 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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)) (“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,
36
certain defendants cross-appealed from Judge Sullivan’s decision, seeking review of the arguments that Judge Sullivan rejected in his decision. On March 29, 2016, the Second Circuit issued its decision on the appeal and cross-appeal. A panel of three judges unanimously affirmed the dismissal on the ground that the plaintiffs’ claims were preempted by section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. On April 12, 2016, the plaintiffs/appellants filed a petition with the Second Circuit requesting rehearing of the appeal by the same panel of judges and/or rehearing en banc by all judges on the Second Circuit. On July 22, 2016, the Second Circuit denied both requests for rehearing. On September 9, 2016, Plaintiffs filed a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court. A response to the petition on behalf of all defendants is expected to be filed in Fall 2016.
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 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. As of November 28, 2016, 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, if any, that may result.

A LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2015 through October 31, 2016. 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.
Stocks and bonds generally advanced over the reporting period in the midst of heightened market volatility stemming from various global economic developments. Toward the end of 2015, investor sentiment deteriorated amid sluggish global economic growth, falling commodity prices, and the first increase in short-term U.S. interest rates in nearly a decade. These worries sparked sharp stock market declines in January 2016, but equities began to rally in February when U.S. monetary policymakers refrained from additional rate hikes, other central banks eased their monetary policies further, and commodity prices began to rebound. Stocks generally continued to climb through the summer, driving several broad measures of U.S. stock market performance to record highs in July and August before moderating as a result of uncertainty regarding U.S. elections and potential rate hikes. In the bond market, yields of high-quality sovereign bonds generally moved lower and their prices increased in response to robust investor demand for current income in a low interest rate environment.
The outcome of the U.S. presidential election and ongoing global economic headwinds suggest that uncertainty will persist in the financial markets over the foreseeable future. Some asset classes and industry groups may benefit from a changing economic and political landscape, while others probably will face challenges. Consequently, selectivity could become a more important determinant of investment success. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of our observations with your financial advisor.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

Mark D. Santero
Chief Executive Officer

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of November 1, 2015, through October 31, 2016, as provided by David Leduc, CFA, David Horsfall, CFA, Brendan Murphy, CFA, and Raman Srivastava, CFA, Portfolio Managers
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016, Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of -3.80%, Class C shares returned -4.46%, Class I shares returned -3.48%, and Class Y shares returned -3.47%.1 In comparison, the Citi 1-Month Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”) achieved a total return of 0.18% for the same period.2
Global fixed-income securities generally gained a degree of value amid heightened volatility during the reporting period as economic weakness led to more accommodative monetary policies and falling interest rates in most regions of the world. The fund lagged its benchmark, mainly due to shortfalls in its currency and asset allocation strategies.
As of August 1, 2016, Brendan Murphy became a Portfolio Manager for the fund.
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.
Robust Investor Demand Supported Global Bond Prices
Over the final months of 2015, concerns about global economic conditions sparked heightened bond market turbulence. Sluggish growth in Europe and Japan and falling commodity prices caused investors to flock to traditional safe havens, hurting riskier emerging-markets and corporate-backed bonds while sending prices of high-quality sovereign bonds higher and their yields lower. Investors also anticipated at the time that U.S. monetary policymakers would raise short-term interest rates, as indeed they did in December 2015, a move that many worried could weigh on the U.S. and global economies.
Investor sentiment changed dramatically in mid-February 2016 after U.S. monetary policymakers indicated that they would delay additional rate hikes. In addition, investors were encouraged when commodity prices began to rebound, several central banks announced new stimulus measures, and foreign currencies gained value against the U.S. dollar. The Bank of Japan and European Central Bank adopted negative short-term interest rates, a move that drove international fixed-income investors to higher yielding market

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
sectors such as corporate-backed securities, emerging-markets bonds, and U.S. government securities.
In June and early July, concerns surrounding a referendum in the United Kingdom to leave the European Union produced renewed market volatility. Yet, higher yielding bond market sectors quickly rebounded amid robust demand from international investors seeking more competitive yields than were available from sovereign bonds in overseas markets.
Currency and Allocation Strategies Weighed on Results
Although the fund participated in the international bond market’s moderate gains over the reporting period, its performance compared to the benchmark was hampered, in part, by its currency position. Most notably, underweighted exposure to rallying Asian currencies and an overweighted position in the Mexican peso proved counterproductive. In addition, the fund’s allocation to inflation-linked bonds in Europe, Japan, and the United States lagged market averages when global inflationary pressures remained muted, and overweighted exposure to corporate-backed securities constrained relative results amid heightened market volatility early in the reporting period. Finally, our emphasis on subordinated commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) detracted from relative results in late 2015 and early 2016.
An emphasis on emerging-markets bonds produced better relative results, a strategy that enabled the fund to participate more fully in the rally during the spring and summer of 2016. A position in asset-backed securities (ABS) also added a degree of value. The fund’s interest rate strategies further bolstered relative performance, as relatively long duration positions in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States helped capture more of the benefits of falling long-term interest rates.
At times during the reporting period, the fund employed forward contracts, options, and futures contracts to establish its currency and interest rate strategies.
Continued Volatility Expected
As of the reporting period’s end, we have maintained a generally cautious investment posture in anticipation of continued volatility in the financial markets. Global economic uncertainty seems likely to persist, as does the choppy U.S. economic recovery. While many major central banks are expected to maintain accommodative monetary policies, U.S. policymakers appear likely to raise short-term interest rates gradually. Meanwhile, yields of longer term sovereign bonds remain near historical lows, and yield differences have narrowed along the market’s credit-quality spectrum.
4
Therefore, we currently intend to maintain a generally conservative duration posture, and we have retained the fund’s emphasis on emerging-market currencies and inflation-linked bonds that offer relatively attractive values.
November 15, 2016
Bonds are subject generally to interest rate, credit, liquidity, and market risks, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes, and rate increases can cause price declines.
High yield bonds are subject to increased credit risk and are considered speculative in terms of the issuer’s perceived ability to continue making interest payments on a timely basis and to repay principal upon maturity.
Foreign bonds are subject to special risks including exposure to currency fluctuations, changing political and economic conditions, and potentially less liquidity. These risks are generally greater with emerging market countries than with more economically and politically established foreign countries.
Investments in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. A decline in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will reduce the value of securities held by the fund and denominated in those currencies. The use of leverage may magnify the fund’s gains or losses. For derivatives with a leveraging component, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset can result in a loss that is much greater than the original investment in the derivative.
The fund may use derivative instruments, such as options, futures and options on futures, forward contracts, swaps (including credit default swaps on corporate bonds and asset-backed securities), options on swaps, and other credit derivatives. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the fund’s performance. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets.
1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares, or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed on redemptions in the case of Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. 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, 2017, at which time it may be extended, modified, or terminated. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

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. In addition to the performance of Class A shares shown with and without a maximum sales charge, the fund’s performance shown in the table takes into account all other applicable fees and expenses on all classes.
† The maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% for shares redeemed within one year of the date of purchase.
†† The total return performance figures presented for Class Y shares of the fund reflect the performance of the fund’s Class A shares for the period prior to 7/1/13 (the inception date for Class Y shares), not reflecting the applicable sales charges for Class A.

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 Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund from May 1, 2016 to October 31, 2016. 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.

Ending value (after expenses) | | $1,020.66 | | $1,016.89 | | $1,022.02 | | $1,022.12 |
† Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .89% for Class A, 1.64% for Class C, .62% for Class I and .60% for Class Y, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus 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 nine 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
29
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.
30
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 is engaged 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.
31
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, 2016 in valuing the fund’s investments:

† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
†† Amount shown represents unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at period end.
At October 31, 2016, there were no transfers between levels 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 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
33
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2016, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $34,544 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, 2016 were as follows:

(e) Risk: The fund invests primarily in debt securities. Failure of an issuer of the debt securities to make timely interest or principal payments, or a decline or the perception of a decline in the credit quality of a debt security, can cause the debt security’s price to fall, potentially lowering the fund’s share price. In addition, the value of debt securities may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry.
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 31, 2016, the Board declared a cash dividend of $.02, $.015, $.023 and $.023 per share from undistributed investment income-net for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y shares, respectively, payable on November 1, 2016 (ex-dividend date), to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2016.
(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, 2016, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended October 31, 2016, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2016 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2016, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $2,444,081, accumulated capital losses $115,126,370 and unrealized depreciation $599,961.
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, 2016. The fund has $74,670,184 short-term capital losses and $40,456,186 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, 2016 and October 31, 2015 were as follows: ordinary income $25,379,170 and $32,263,650, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2016, 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 decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $4,742,819 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 $810 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 5, 2016, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $555 million and prior to January 11, 2016, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $480 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
36
the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2016, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.
NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with Dreyfus, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .50% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. Dreyfus had contractually agreed, from November 1, 2015 through February 29, 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) did not exceed .65%, .65%, .65% and .60% of the value of the respective class’ average daily net assets. Dreyfus has contractually agreed, from March 1, 2016 through March 1, 2017, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expenses of the fund, so that the expenses of none of the classes (exclusive of certain expenses as described above) exceed .65% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $6,467 during the period ended October 31, 2016.
During the period ended October 31, 2016, the Distributor retained $3,522 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $22,863 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, 2016, Class C shares were charged $323,070 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, 2016, Class A and Class C shares were charged $286,947 and $107,690, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
37
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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. 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, 2016, the fund was charged $13,115 for transfer agency services and $757 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 $307.
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, 2016, the fund was charged $38,890 pursuant to the custody agreement.
During the period ended October 31, 2016, the fund was charged $9,804 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer and his staff.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $79,244, Distribution Plan fees $19,688, Shareholder Services Plan fees $17,635, custodian fees $35,520, Chief Compliance Officer fees $5,688 and transfer agency fees $1,698, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $3,057.
(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.
38
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, 2016, amounted to $586,012,870 and $1,039,080,994, 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 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, 2016 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
39
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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, 2016 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 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.
40
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.

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, 2016:

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 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 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.
44
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. The following summarizes open interest rate swaps entered into by the fund at October 31, 2016:

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. At October 31, 2016, there were no credit default swap agreements outstanding.
The following tables show the fund’s exposure to different types of market risk as it relates to the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations, respectively.

A LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Tax Managed Growth Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2015 through October 31, 2016. 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.
Stocks and bonds generally advanced over the reporting period in the midst of heightened market volatility stemming from various global economic developments. Toward the end of 2015, investor sentiment deteriorated amid sluggish global economic growth, falling commodity prices, and the first increase in short-term U.S. interest rates in nearly a decade. These worries sparked sharp stock market declines in January 2016, but equities began to rally in February when U.S. monetary policymakers refrained from additional rate hikes, other central banks eased their monetary policies further, and commodity prices began to rebound. Stocks generally continued to climb through the summer, driving several broad measures of U.S. stock market performance to record highs in July and August before moderating as a result of uncertainty regarding U.S. elections and potential rate hikes. In the bond market, yields of high-quality sovereign bonds generally moved lower and their prices increased in response to robust investor demand for current income in a low interest rate environment.
The outcome of the U.S. presidential election and ongoing global economic headwinds suggest that uncertainty will persist in the financial markets over the foreseeable future. Some asset classes and industry groups may benefit from a changing economic and political landscape, while others probably will face challenges. Consequently, selectivity could become a more important determinant of investment success. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of our observations with your financial advisor.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

Mark D. Santero
Chief Executive Officer

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period from November 1, 2015 through October 31, 2016, as provided by Fayez Sarofim, Portfolio Manager of Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sub-Investment Adviser
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016, Dreyfus Tax Managed Growth Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 0.54%, Class C shares returned -0.18%, and Class I shares returned 0.83%.1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 4.49% for the same period.2
U.S. equities posted moderately positive total returns, on average, over the reporting period, as rallies during the spring and summer more than offset previous losses. The fund produced lower returns than the S&P 500 Index, mainly due to security selection shortfalls in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors, as well as relatively light exposure to utilities and industrial stocks.
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.
Stocks Advanced Despite Headwinds
The S&P 500 Index pressed higher during the reporting period on its way to recording a low-single-digit gain. U.S. equities recovered from sharp selloffs in January and June and reached record highs in August, but drifted lower in September and declined in October. Policy and political events took center stage in a reporting period that saw the Federal Reserve Board raise short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, the United Kingdom referendum to leave the European Union, and increasingly vitriolic campaign rhetoric ahead of the U.S. presidential election. Traditionally defensive sectors generally led the market’s advance over the first half of 2016 as growth fears intensified and investors flocked to domestic and dividend-oriented stocks. Market leadership subsequently shifted to smaller, more cyclical issues when near-term risks subsided. The utilities and information technology sectors represented the top-performing industry groups for the reporting period. The health care and consumer discretionary sectors were the only two segments of the S&P 500 Index to register losses.
Fund Strategies Produced Mixed Results
The fund’s relative performance was constrained by the net impact of our stock selection strategy, but our sector allocation strategy had an ameliorating effect. Factors that detracted from relative performance included weakness in the fund’s pharmaceutical and biotechnology holdings in the health care sector. Disappointments among consumer discretionary stocks also undermined relative results, but the impact was mitigated by an
3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
underweighted allocation to the sector. A lack of exposure to the top-performing utilities sector and limited and selectively focused representation in the industrials sector also weighed on the fund’s performance compared to the S&P 500 Index. Individual positions detracting most from returns included Novo Nordisk, Walt Disney, Gilead Sciences, Alexion Pharmaceuticals, and Roche Holding.
On a more positive note, an overweighted allocation to the consumer staples sector was the primary factor supporting relative performance. Selective positioning in the financials sector, particularly among banks and insurance companies, further augmented relative results. Although overweighted representation in the energy sector proved counterproductive, this impact was more than offset by advantageous stock selections within the sector, including the avoidance of relatively volatile oilfield services and equipment stocks. The largest positive contributors to the fund’s return for the 12-month period were Philip Morris International, Facebook, Texas Instruments, Chevron, and Altria Group.
Maintaining a Focus on Quality Companies
The investment backdrop is expected to improve modestly as election risks recede and global economic prospects gradually improve, but the stock market appears likely to remain constrained by later cycle dynamics and mediocre growth. Historically, in environments in which stability and growth are scarce, markets have rewarded high-quality companies with strong and improving operating metrics. The fund’s disciplined investment approach emphasizes multinational industry leaders with stable earnings streams, disciplined cost controls and compelling valuations. These companies are better able to sustain free cash flow and increase dividends in periods of rising wage inflation, a characteristic we believe will have added appeal as expectations of slow growth become more ingrained.

Equities 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.

FUND PERFORMANCE

Comparison of change in value of $10,000 investment in Dreyfus Tax Managed Growth Fund Class A shares, Class C shares and Class I shares and the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index
† Source: Lipper Inc.
Past performance is not predictive of future performance.
The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in each of the Class A, Class C and Class I shares of Dreyfus Tax Managed Growth Fund on 10/31/06 to a $10,000 investment made in the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price 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 the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares and all other applicable fees and expenses on all classes. The Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged index of U.S. stock market performance. 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.

In addition to the performance of Class A shares shown with and without a maximum sales charge, the fund’s performance shown in the table takes into account all other applicable fees and expenses on all classes.
† The maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% for shares redeemed within one year of the date of purchase.

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 Tax Managed Growth Fund from May 1, 2016 to October 31, 2016. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus 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 nine series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation consistent with minimizing realized capital gains. 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 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, 2016 in valuing the fund’s investments:

Mutual Funds | 3,469,939 | - | - | 3,469,939 |
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
At October 31, 2016, there were no transfers between levels 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, 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. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2016, The Bank of
22
New York Mellon earned $2,872 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act. Investments in affiliated investment companies during the period ended October 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | |
Affiliated Investment Company | Value 10/31/2015 ($) | Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | Value 10/31/2016 ($) | Net Assets (%) |

† During the period ended October 31, 2016, Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund was acquired by Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Money Market Fund.
†† Formerly Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund.
(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
23
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2016, 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, 2016, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2016 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2016, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $367,154, undistributed capital gains $84,477 and unrealized appreciation $61,292,400.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015 were as follows: ordinary income $2,059,640 and $2,173,973, and long-term capital gains $9,013,406 and $4,790,108, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2016, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to dividend reclassification, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $468 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 $810 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 5, 2016, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $555 million and prior to January 11, 2016, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $480 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.
24
The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended October 31, 2016, was approximately $35,200 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.17%.
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee, Sub-Investment Advisory 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 management, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. Dreyfus also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay Dreyfus a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.10% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, Dreyfus pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest expenses, commitment fees on borrowings, 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). During the period ended October 31, 2016, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amount to $13,521.
Pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between Dreyfus and Sarofim & Co., Dreyfus pays Sarofim & Co. a monthly fee at an annual rate of .2175% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.
During the period ended October 31, 2016, the Distributor retained $4,021 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $12 from CDSCs on redemptions of the fund’s Class C shares.
(b) Under the Distribution Plans adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Distribution Plans”) under the Act, Class A shares pay annually up to .25% of the value of its average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing its shares at an aggregate annual rate of .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. Class C shares are also subject to a service plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Service Plan”), under which Class C shares pay the Distributor for providing certain services to the holders of their shares, a fee at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.

Under its terms, the Distribution Plans and Service Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Distribution Plans or Service Plan.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $161,935, Distribution Plans fees $30,395 and Service Plan fees $5,623, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $1,169.

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.
