A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund, Inc., covering the six-month period from January 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010.
After posting solid gains over the first quarter of 2010, the financial markets encountered renewed volatility in the second quarter, which caused some of the municipal bond market’s higher yielding sectors to erase their previous gains and end the reporting period lower than where they began. However, municipal bonds continued to benefit from favorable supply-and-demand dynamics, which provided a degree of support absent in other fixed-income markets.
The second-quarter swoon occurred despite continued U.S. economic growth, as manufacturing activity improved and unemployment began to moderate in a recovery that has so far proved sustainable but milder than historical averages.
Despite recent headlines about the current state of the U.S. economy and the fiscal pressures placed on state and local governments, we still believe that it is unlikely that we’ll encounter a “double-dip” recession. Instead, we expect current financial strains to ease and the domestic economy to expand at a moderate pace over the second half of the year. However, we currently see a number of downside risks for select lower-grade issuers that could result in volatility over the short term, which is why we still believe that a long-term investment focus with an emphasis on higher quality bonds may be advisable for many investors.As always, your financial advisor can help you assess both the risks and opportunities provided by the financial markets in this investment climate.
For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period of January 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010, as provided by James Welch and Dan Barton, Portfolio Managers
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, Dreyfus New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund’s Class A produced a total return of 2.53%, Class B shares returned 2.23%, Class C shares returned 2.22%, Class I shares returned 2.59% and Class Z shares returned 2.57%.1 In comparison, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 3.31% for the same period.2
Municipal bond prices generally ended the reporting period close to where they began as deteriorating economic conditions offset the benefits of favorable supply-and-demand dynamics. The fund produced lower returns than its benchmark, primarily due to challenges to New Jersey’s fiscal condition that were more severe than national averages.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal and New Jersey personal income taxes.To pursue its goal, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade (“high yield” or “junk” bonds) or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio normally exceeds 10 years.
We focus on identifying undervalued sectors and securities and minimize the use of interest rate forecasting.The portfolio managers select municipal bonds for the fund’s portfolio by:
Using fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various sectors and securities and to exploit pricing inefficiencies in the municipal bond market; and
Actively trading among various sectors, such as pre-refunded, gen- eral obligation, and revenue, based on their apparent relative values.
The fund seeks to invest in several of these sectors.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Supply-and-Demand Factors Supported Municipal Bonds
Although an improving U.S. economy bolstered investor confidence early in the reporting period,the pace of the economic recovery has been slower than most previous rebounds. In addition, investors responded cautiously to new global economic concerns stemming from a sovereign debt crisis in Europe and inflationary pressures in China. Meanwhile, most states,including New Jersey,have continued to struggle with declining tax revenues and intensifying demand for services. In light of these challenges, the Federal Reserve Board left short-term interest rates unchanged in a historically low range between 0% and 0.25%.
Still, the municipal bond market generally was supported by favorable supply-and-demand dynamics. Issuance of new tax-exempt bonds moderated significantly due to the federally subsidized Build America Bonds program, part of the stimulus package that shifted a substantial portion of new issuance to the taxable bond market.At the same time, demand for municipal bonds intensified as individual and institutional investors sought alternatives to low yielding money market funds. Consequently, municipal bonds generally avoided the losses incurred by some sectors of the taxable bond market.
Security Selection Strategy Dampened Fund Returns
Faced with the subpar economic recovery and tighter credit spreads, we maintained a bias toward higher-quality securities, including bonds for which the money for early redemption has been set aside in escrow. However, these high-quality escrowed bonds detracted from the fund’s performance early in the reporting period when investors preferred more speculative investments, prompting us to trim the fund’s position. The fund also was hurt by its overweighted exposure to municipal bonds backed by New Jersey’s settlement with U.S. tobacco companies, which underperformed amid declining tobacco consumption. Bonds issued to finance higher education in New Jersey disappointed when concerns arose regarding the impact of tuition hikes on college enrollment.
The fund received more positive results from other strategies.We set the fund’s average duration in a range we considered longer than industry averages, enabling the fund to participate more fully in periodic market rallies. Overweighted positions in bonds backed by revenues from
4
hospitals and housing projects also fared relatively well due to robust demand for higher yielding securities in a low interest-rate environment.
Supply-and-Demand Factors May Remain Favorable
New Jersey has remained under fiscal pressure, but the state appears to have closed a projected budget deficit of more than $10 billion, primarily through spending cuts. Although we expect investor sentiment to improve as fiscal concerns moderate, we have intensified our focus on higher-quality, essential service issuers, such as water/sewer and electric utilities, over those from local municipalities that may struggle with reduced state aid.
We remain optimistic over the longer term.We anticipate a more ample supply of newly issued bonds when the Build America Bonds program either ends or is renewed with lower federal subsidies at the end of this year. In the meantime, demand seems likely to stay robust as investors grow increasingly concerned regarding potential income tax increases.

| Bond funds are subject generally to interest rate, credit, liquidity and market risks, to varying degrees, |
| all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus. Generally, all other factors being equal, |
| bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes, and rate increases can cause price declines. |
| High yield bonds are subject to increased credit risk and are considered speculative in terms of the |
| issuer’s perceived ability to continue making interest payments on a timely basis and to repay |
| principal upon maturity. |
1 | Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid and does not take into |
| consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares or the applicable |
| contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and Class C |
| shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Class Z and Class I |
| shares are not subject to any initial or deferred sales charge. Each share class is subject to a |
| different sales charge and distribution expense structure and will achieve different returns. 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. Income |
| may be subject to state and local taxes for non-New Jersey residents, and some income may be |
| subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, |
| are fully taxable. Return figures provided for Class A, B and C shares reflect the absorption of |
| certain fund expenses pursuant to an agreement by The Dreyfus Corporation which may be |
| terminated upon 90 days’ notice to shareholders after May 1, 2011, and for Class I shares, which |
| reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to an |
| agreement that may be extended, modified or terminated. Had these expenses not been absorbed, |
| the fund’s returns would have been lower. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of current income exempt from federal and New Jersey income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.
MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 675 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock.The fund currently offers five classes of shares: Class A (200 million shares authorized), Class B (150 million shares authorized), Class C (150 million shares authorized), Class I (150 million shares authorized) and Class Z (25 million shares authorized). Class A shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years.The fund does not offer Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value per share only to institutional investors. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value per share generally only to shareholders of a Dreyfus-managed fund as a result of the reorganization of such Dreyfus-managed fund, and who continue to maintain accounts with the fund at the time of purchase. Class Z shares generally are not available for new accounts. 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
32
expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the fund’s Board of Directors. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from deale rs, and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S. Treasury securities 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:
| | | | |
| | Level 2—Other | Level 3— | |
| Level 1— | Significant | Significant | |
| Unadjusted | Observable | Unobservable | |
| Quoted Prices | Inputs | Inputs | Total |
Assets ($) | | | | |
Investments in Securities: | | | |

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about FairValue Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the fund. The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.These new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is current ly evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.
The fund has arrangements with the custodian and cash management bank whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody and cash management fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.
The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies or municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends from investment income-net on each business day. 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.
(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended June 30, 2010, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each of the tax years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $9,819,287 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December 31, 2009. If not applied, $803,681 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2011, $97,441 expires in fiscal 2014, $822,282 expires in fiscal 2015, $1,125,950 expires in fiscal 2016 and $6,969,933 expires in fiscal 2017.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was as follows: tax exempt income
36
$25,990,726 and ordinary income $63,723.The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
