A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF DREYFUS

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Core Equity Fund, covering the 12-month period from September 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018. 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.

The 12-month period started on solid footing which gave way to a shifting landscape. Through February of 2018, major global economies appeared to be in lock-step as they moved towards less accommodative monetary policy and concurrent growth. In the equity markets, both U.S. and non-U.S. markets enjoyed an upward trek across sectors and market caps. Interest rates rose across the curve putting pressure on bond prices, but sectors such as investment grade and high yield corporates, non-U.S. dollar denominated bonds and emerging market debt, were able to outperform like-duration U.S. Treasuries.

In February, the first rumblings of discontent shook equity markets. Global growth and monetary policy paths began to diverge. Non-U.S. economies weakened. Momentum sputtered, and equities began to struggle. Emerging market debt, non-U.S. denominated bonds and corporate debt gave up much of the performance earned earlier in the period. Long-term U.S. interest rates started to fall. The shockwave ended in April and pressure on U.S. equity markets eased, allowing U.S. equity markets to end the 12-month period with double-digit gains.

Despite new concerns regarding trade, U.S. inflationary pressures and global growth, we are optimistic that U.S. consumer spending, corporate earnings, and economic data will remain strong in the near term. However, we will stay attentive to signs that might signal possible changes on the horizon. As always, we encourage you to discuss the risks and opportunities of today’s investment environment with your financial advisor.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

Renee Laroche-Morris
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)

For the period from September 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018, as provided by portfolio manager Fayez Sarofim of Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sub-Investment Adviser

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018, Dreyfus Core Equity Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 15.48%, Class C shares returned 14.59%, and Class I shares returned 15.80%.¹In comparison, the S&P 500^® Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, produced a total return of 19.66% for the same period.²

Despite concerns about trade conflicts and some increased volatility, stocks continued to gain ground over the reporting period amid rising corporate earnings, improved economic conditions, and the effects of corporate tax reform. The fund produced lower returns than the Index, mainly due to shortfalls in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and financials sectors.

The Board of Directors has approved, subject to shareholder approval, a proposed merger of the fund into Dreyfus Worldwide Growth Fund. It is currently contemplated that shareholders of the fund as of August 31, 2018 will be asked to approve the merger at a special meeting of shareholders to be held on or about October 31, 2018. If approved, the merger will become effective on or about December 7, 2018.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks. The fund focuses on “blue-chip” companies with market capitalizations exceeding $5 billion at the time of purchase, including multinational companies.

In choosing stocks, the fund first identifies economic sectors that it believes will expand over the next three to five years or longer. Using fundamental analysis, the fund then seeks companies within these sectors that have dominant positions in their industries and that have demonstrated sustained patterns of profitability, strong balance sheets, an expanding global presence and the potential to achieve predictable, above-average earnings growth. The fund is also alert to companies that it considers undervalued in terms of current earnings, assets, or growth prospects.

The fund may also invest in securities of foreign companies in the form of U.S.-dollar-denominated American depositary receipts (ADRs).

The fund employs a “buy-and-hold” investment strategy, which generally has resulted in an annual portfolio turnover of below 15%.³

Economic Strength and Growth in Corporate Earnings Drove Stocks Higher

The Index achieved a solid gain for the 12-month reporting period despite back-to-back declines in February and March, rebounding over the most recent five months as estimates of earnings growth continued to firm and U.S. economic activity accelerated. The market advanced even as trade conflicts heated up, the Federal Reserve stepped up the pace of monetary tightening, and political risks resurfaced in the Eurozone.

Market leadership rotated as the period progressed, but for the full 12 months, information technology and consumer discretionary were the strongest sectors. Energy also topped the benchmark, aided by a rally in crude prices amid increased demand. Utilities and consumer staples were the weakest performers, although all 11 sectors ended higher.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (continued)

Consumer Stocks Dampened Fund Performance

The fund recorded a double-digit gain for the 12-month reporting period, but results trailed those of the benchmark. The largest detractor from relative performance was the pronounced overweighting of the lagging consumer staples sector. Holdings such as Philip Morris International, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Altria Group weighed on relative returns. Relative results were also undercut by the positioning in consumer discretionary due to the underweight in Internet retail, the sector’s strongest segment, and not owning the issues with outsized gains in the multiline and specialty retail industries. The stock focus in the financials sector also modestly undermined results compared to the Index. The largest detractors from returns included Philip Morris International, Comcast, Anheuser-Busch InBev, State Street, and Walgreens Boots Alliance.

Factors that supported relative performance included the limited and very selective presence in the industrials sector, which came under pressure from rising fuel prices and concerns over tariffs. The emphasis among railroad stocks and the avoidance of industrial conglomerates were particularly beneficial. Stock selection in the health care sector augmented relative results. Portfolio companies such as Intuitive Surgical, UnitedHealth Group, and AbbVie outpaced other sector constituents and the market average. The overweighted allocation to the top-performing information technology sector and the lack of exposure to the weak real estate, telecommunications, and utilities sectors also added value. Holdings making the largest positive contributions to the fund’s 12-month return included Microsoft, Apple, Texas Instruments, Visa, and Alphabet.

High-Quality Companies Well Positioned for Potential Volatility

Recent turbulence notwithstanding, the foundation for a continued market advance remains solid: the U.S. economy and underlying corporate fundamentals remain quite healthy and equity valuations have become more attractive as profit growth has accelerated in the face of a flat market in 2018. Nevertheless, investors remain nervous and alert to signs of rising inflation, escalating trade tensions, and the stresses of generally tighter financial conditions.

The high-quality industry leaders in the fund have the financial strength and flexibility to help them weather the volatile periods surrounding these concerns. Their greater ability to manage increasing costs based on their scale, strong balance sheets, and management resources positions them to sustain earnings growth as interest rates rise. Furthermore, these businesses are generating record cash flows and enhancing shareholder value through dividend increases and opportunistic share buybacks. Given the deep financial resources, earnings outlook, and capital deployment acumen of the companies in the fund, we remain confident in its ability to deliver superior, risk-adjusted returns over the longer term.

³Portfolio turnover rates are subject to change. Portfolio turnover rates alone do not automatically result in high or low distribution levels. There can be no guarantee that the fund will generate any specific level of distributions annually.

Please note: the position in any security highlighted with italicized typeface was sold during the reporting period.

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.

FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)

Comparison of change in value of $10,000 investment in Dreyfus Core Equity Fund Class A shares, Class C shares and Class I shares and the S&P 500^® Index (the “Index”)

^† Source: Lipper Inc.

The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in each of the Class A, Class C and Class I shares of Dreyfus Core Equity Fund on 8/31/08 to a $10,000 investment made in 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 widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities. The Index includes 500 leading companies and captures approximately 80% coverage of available market capitalization. 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.

^† The maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% for shares redeemed within one year of the date of purchase.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate and an investor’s shares may be worth more or less than original cost upon redemption. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Go to Dreyfus.com for the fund’s most recent month-end returns.

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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Core Equity 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 eight series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term 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. 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 600 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock. The fund currently has authorized four classes of shares: Class A (300 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized), Class I (100 million shares authorized) and Class T (100 million shares authorized). Class A, Class C and Class T shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution fees and/or Service Plan fees. Class A and Class T 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 C shares automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after the date of purchase, without the imposition of a sales charge. 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. As of the date of this report, the fund did not offer Class T shares for purchase. 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 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:

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 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 accurately reflect 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 such securities are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2018 in valuing the fund’s investments:


	Level 1 – Unadjusted Quoted Prices	Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs	Level 3 -Significant Unobservable Inputs	Total
Assets ($)
Investments in Securities:
Equity Securities - Common Stocks^†	161,336,689	-	-	161,336,689
Registered Investment Company	2,955,441	-	-	2,955,441

^†See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

At August 31, 2018, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. It is the fund’s policy to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

(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 August 31, 2018, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $2,192 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.

(d) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions 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 August 31, 2018, 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 August 31, 2018, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended August 31, 2018 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At August 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $152,113, undistributed capital gains $23,395,511 and unrealized appreciation $95,009,021.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were as follows: ordinary income $774,223 and $1,330,685, and long-term capital gains $26,280,337 and $24,225,060, respectively.

(f) New Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The update provides guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these changes to future financial statements.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in an $830 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 4, 2017, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $810 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 August 31, 2018, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

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 August 31, 2018, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amount to $16,535.

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 August 31, 2018, the Distributor retained $2,294 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $234 from CDSCs on redemption 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. During the period ended August 31, 2018, Class A and Class C shares were charged $211,184 and $389,250, respectively, pursuant to their Distribution Plans. During the period ended August 31, 2018, Class C shares were charged $129,750 pursuant to the Service Plan.

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 $152,178, Distribution Plans fees $47,189 and Service Plan fees $9,614, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $7,019.

(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended August 31, 2018, amounted to $6,074,796 and $45,966,886, respectively.

At August 31, 2018, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $69,283,109; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

appreciation on investments was $95,009,021, consisting of $95,309,611 gross unrealized appreciation and $300,590 gross unrealized depreciation.

NOTE 5—Plan of Reorganization:

The Board approved, subjected to shareholders’ approval, an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) providing for the transfer of the fund’s assets to Dreyfus Worldwide Growth Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in a tax-free exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the fund’s stated liabilities, the distribution of such shares of the Acquiring Fund to fund shareholders and the subsequent termination of the fund (the “Reorganization”). It is currently contemplated that shareholders of the fund as of August 31, 2018 will be asked to approve the Agreement on behalf of the fund at a special meeting of shareholders to be held on or about October 31, 2018. If approved, the Reorganization will become effective on or about December 7, 2018. As of the end of the reporting period, total reorganization costs were estimated to be approximately $317,000 of which $240,266 was accrued by the fund as of August 31, 2018.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dreyfus Core Equity Fund (the “Fund”) a series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc., including the statements of investments and investments in affiliated issuers, as of August 31, 2018, 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 related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2018, 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.

Basis for Opinion

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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Dreyfus Corporation investment companies since 1994.

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF DREYFUS

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Floating Rate Income Fund, covering the 12-month period from September 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)

For the period from September 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018, as provided by the fund’s primary portfolio managers, Kevin Cronk, Chris Barris, and Leland Hart of Alcentra NY, LLC, Sub-Investment Adviser

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2018, Dreyfus Floating Rate Income Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 3.38%, Class C shares returned 2.62%, Class I shares returned 3.68%, and Class Y shares returned 3.60%.¹ The fund’s benchmark, The S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 4.88% for the same period.²

Floating rate notes generally produced positive total returns over the reporting period amid rising interest rates and low defaults. The fund lagged the Index, partially due to underweighted exposure to low-quality CCC-rated loans.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks high current income. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in floating-rate loans and other floating-rate securities. These investments effectively should enable the fund to achieve a floating rate of income. The fund currently intends to invest principally in floating-rate loans and other floating-rate securities of U.S. issuers, but may invest up to 30% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers.

We buy and sell securities through a value-oriented, bottom-up research process that incorporates a top-down overlay. We use fundamental credit analysis to identify favorable and unfavorable risk/reward opportunities across quality segments, industries, and credits while seeking to mitigate downside risk.

Interest Rates Fluctuate in a Growing Economy

In late 2017, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) began to unwind its balance sheet through sales of U.S. government securities and started to raise the overnight target federal funds rate by 25 basis points at approximately every other meeting. Longer-term interest rates climbed during the first portion of the reporting period. Corporate and emerging market debt soundly outperformed like-duration Treasuries. However, market volatility appeared in February and a paradigm shift occurred. Concerns over high U.S. inflation sprouted, and while the U.S. economy continued to strengthen, the rest of the world softened. Corporates and emerging market debt gave up much of their earlier return. In a flight to quality, long-term U.S. Treasury rates declined as well. When coupled with the Fed’s rate hikes which boost the short end of the curve, the U.S. yield curve began a flattening trend that would last through the end of the period. In general, securities with a high degree of interest-rate sensitivity lost value during the period, while those with less fared better.

In this environment, demand for floating-rate investments increased as investors looked for insulation against rising rates. Senior loans outpaced the broader markets with the best performances coming from the lowest-quality segments. During the period, loan spreads narrowed, but was more than offset by a nearly 1% increase in the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).

Distressed Debt Outperforms Broader Market

The fund’s performance compared to the Index was constrained over the reporting period by several factors. First, the fund maintained underweighted exposure to CCC-rated loans, which lie toward the bottom of the credit-quality spectrum. These loans rallied as investors disregarded certain risks and reached for higher yields, but the fund did not participate fully in those gains. From a sector allocation perspective, an overweight position in the consumer sectors weighed on relative performance, as did underweighted exposure to loans issued to retailers. Our security selection strategy also produced some

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (continued)

disappointments in the retail and health care sectors, as well as in the automotive industry group. Finally, the fund’s cash reserves and holdings of high yield bonds, which are maintained for liquidity purposes, did not keep pace with the floating-rate loan market.

The fund achieved better results through other strategies. The fund’s relatively large overweight to B-rated debt, which occupies a middle tier of the credit-quality spectrum, and underweight to high-quality low-spread BB-rated loans, was additive. In addition, an overweight exposure to the metals and mining industry also helped boost relative results as commodity prices and global economic activity recovered. Security selection within the telecom services industry also contributed to positive performance as did the fund’s collateralized loan obligation (CLO) holdings.

At times during the reporting period, we employed forward contracts to hedge the fund’s positons in instruments denominated in foreign currencies.

Positioned for Continued Economic Growth

We remain optimistic regarding the prospects for senior loans. Business fundamentals remain strong, global economic growth has continued, corporate earnings are rising, and default rates have stayed low. In addition, supply-and-demand dynamics have been supported by robust demand for senior loans from CLOs and moderate retail fund inflows. Most analysts expect additional short-term interest-rate hikes by the Fed, which could translate into higher yields on floating-rate instruments.

Therefore, we have maintained overweight exposure to B-rated loans, and we have continued to participate in carefully selected CCC-rated loans. We continue to avoid the most distressed areas of the market. We’re maintaining our underweight to high-quality, low-yielding BB-rated loans. In this environment, we continue to favor debt from cyclical industries such as services, commodities, and chemicals. We have found fewer loans meeting our investment criteria among loans issued to companies in the fixed-line telecommunications and retail industries. While we maintain a favorable outlook on market fundamentals and technicals, we have noticed some erosion in quality which we will continue to monitor closely.

September 17, 2018

¹ Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares, or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed on redemptions in the case of Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield, and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. The fund’s returns reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by the fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an agreement in effect through December 31, 2018, at which time it may be extended, terminated, or modified. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s returns would have been lower.

² Source: Lipper Inc. – The S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan Index is a market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the U.S. leveraged loan market based upon market weightings, spreads, and interest payments. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

Floating-rate loans 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.

The risks of an investment in a collateralized loan obligation (CLO) depend largely on the type of the collateral and the tranche of the CLO in which the fund invests. CLO tranches can experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to defaults due to collateral default, market anticipation of defaults, as well as aversion to CLO securities as an asset class.

The fund may use derivative instruments, such as options, futures, options on futures, forward contracts, and swaps. 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.

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Floating Rate 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 eight series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Alcentra NY, LLC (“Alcentra”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, serves as the fund’s sub-investment adviser.

Effective February 22, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a proposal to re-allocate 25 million Class A shares, 25 million Class C shares, 25 million Class I shares and 25 million Class T shares as 100 million new Class Y shares, raising the total of authorized Class Y shares to 200 million (up from 100 million).

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 has authorized five classes of shares: Class A (75 million shares authorized), Class C (75 million shares authorized), Class I (75 million shares authorized), Class T (75 million shares authorized) and Class Y (200 million shares authorized). Class A, Class C and Class T shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution and/or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class A and Class T 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 C shares automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after the date of purchase, without the imposition of a sales charge. 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. As of the date of this report, the fund did not offer Class T shares for purchase. Other differences between the classes

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 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.

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 debt securities, floating rate loan interests and other securities, excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills), 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.

Investments in equity 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.

The Service is engaged under the general supervision of the Board.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Depository Receipts and futures. 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 accurately reflect 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.

Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange.

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 August 31, 2018 in valuing the fund’s investments:

^† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

^†† Amount shown represents unrealized appreciation at period end.

At August 31, 2018, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. It is the fund’s policy to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

(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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act.

(e) Risk: 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.

The fund invests in Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”). CLO and structured finance securities are generally backed by an asset or a pool of assets (typically senior secured loans and other credit-related assets in the case of a CLO) which serve as collateral. The fund and other investors in CLO and structured finance securities ultimately bear the credit risk of the underlying collateral. If there are defaults or the relevant collateral otherwise underperforms, scheduled payments to senior tranches of such securities take precedence over those of mezzanine tranches, and scheduled payments to mezzanine tranches take precedence over those to subordinated/equity tranches. Therefore, CLO and other structured finance securities may present risks similar to those of the other types of debt obligations and, in fact, such risks may be of greater significance in the case of CLO and other structured finance securities. In addition to the general risks associated with investing in debt securities, CLO securities carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: ⁽¹⁾ the possibility that distributions from collateral assets will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; ⁽²⁾the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; ⁽³⁾ the fact that investments in CLO equity and junior debt tranches will likely be subordinate to other senior classes of CLO debt; and ⁽⁴⁾ the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results. Additionally, changes in the collateral held by a CLO may cause payments on the instruments the Fund holds to be reduced, either temporarily or permanently. Structured investments, particularly the subordinated interests in which the Fund invests, are less liquid than many other types of securities and may be more volatile than the assets underlying the CLOs the Fund may target. In addition, CLO and other structured finance securities may be subject to prepayment 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. Such values may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry.

(f) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions 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 August 31, 2018, the Board declared a cash dividend of $.043, $.036, $.044 and $.046 per share from undistributed investment income-net for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y shares, respectively, payable on September 5, 2018, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 31, 2018. The ex-dividend date was September 4, 2018.

(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.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended August 31, 2018 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At August 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $7,396,559, accumulated capital losses $30,223,031 and unrealized depreciation $4,955,289.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 August 31, 2018. The fund has $8,498,348 of short-term capital losses and $21,724,683 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 August 31, 2018 and August 31, 2017 were as follows: ordinary income $42,426,799 and $26,497,643, respectively.

During the period ended August 31, 2018, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for amortization adjustments, foreign currency transactions, paydown gains and losses and consent fees, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $1,720,480 and decreased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

(h) New Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization On Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). The update shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

Also in August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The update provides guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these changes to future financial statements.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Prior to October 4, 2017, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $810 million. Effective June 19, 2018, the Board approved a $200 million Citibank, N.A. short-term revolving credit facility (the “FRIF Citibank Credit Facility”), for a term beginning June 20, 2018 and ending October 3, 2018. The FRIF Citibank Credit Facility, is a short-term, committed line of credit used by the fund for shareholder redemptions and other temporary or emergency purposes. Dreyfus is not expecting to utilize the FRIF Citibank Credit Facility under normal business conditions, but believes a dedicated line of credit for the fund is prudent in light of the extended settlement term of its securities. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility and the commitment fees for the FRIF Citibank Credit Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility and the FRIF Citibank Credit Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended August 31, 2018, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities and the FRIF Citibank Credit Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee, Sub-Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with Dreyfus, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .65% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. Dreyfus has contractually agreed, from September 1, 2017 through December 31, 2018, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expenses of the fund, so that the annual fund operating expense for Class A, C, I and Y shares (excluding Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed .75% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $5,543 during the period ended August 31, 2018.

Pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between Dreyfus and Alcentra, Alcentra serves as the fund’s sub-investment adviser responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund’s portfolio. Dreyfus pays the sub-investment adviser a monthly fee at an annual percentage of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Dreyfus has obtained an exemptive order from the SEC (the “Order”), upon which the fund may rely, to use a manager of managers approach that permits Dreyfus, subject to certain conditions and approval by the Board, to enter into and materially amend sub-investment advisory agreements with one or more sub-investment advisers who are either unaffiliated with Dreyfus or are wholly-owned

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

subsidiaries (as defined under the Act) of Dreyfus’ ultimate parent company, BNY Mellon, without obtaining shareholder approval. The Order also allows the fund to disclose the sub-investment advisory fee paid by Dreyfus to any unaffiliated sub-investment adviser in the aggregate with other unaffiliated sub-investment advisers in documents filed with the SEC and provided to shareholders. In addition, pursuant to the Order, it is not necessary to disclose the sub-investment advisory fee payable by Dreyfus separately to a sub-investment adviser that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon in documents filed with the SEC and provided to shareholders; such fees are to be aggregated with fees payable to Dreyfus. Dreyfus has ultimate responsibility (subject to oversight by the Board) to supervise any sub-investment adviser and recommend the hiring, termination, and replacement of any sub-investment adviser to the Board.

During the period ended August 31, 2018, the Distributor retained $748 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $1,998 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 August 31, 2018, Class C shares were charged $17,205 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 August 31, 2018, Class A and Class C shares were charged $47,701 and $5,735, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

Under its terms, the Distribution Plan and Shareholder Services Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Distribution Plan or Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund has arrangements with the transfer agent and the custodian whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agency and custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits, if any, 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 August 31, 2018, the fund was charged $4,657 for transfer agency services. These fees are included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.

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 August 31, 2018, the fund was charged $10,694 pursuant to the custody agreement. These fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $4,520.

During the period ended August 31, 2018, the fund was charged $13,269 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer and his staff. These fees are included in Miscellaneous in the Statement of Operations.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $633,716, Distribution Plan fees $1,336, Shareholder Services Plan fees $4,631, custodian fees $2,484, Chief Compliance Officer fees $5,693 and transfer agency fees $303, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $1,039.

(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and forward contracts, during the period ended August 31, 2018, amounted to $1,187,199,513 and $914,445,723, 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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.

The fund may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. The commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Statement of Investments. At August 31, 2018, the fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.

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 over-the-counter (“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 August 31, 2018 is discussed below.

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. Forward contracts open at February 28, 2018 are set forth in the Statement of Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts.

The following summarizes the average market value of derivatives outstanding during the period ended August 31, 2018:


		Average Market Value ($)
Forward contracts		25,561,435

At August 31, 2018, the cost of investments inclusive of derivative contracts for federal income tax purposes was $1,241,205,822; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized depreciation on investments inclusive of derivative contracts was $5,063,681, consisting of $4,375,812 gross unrealized appreciation and $9,439,493 gross unrealized depreciation.
