LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund, covering the six-month period from November 1, 2005, through April 30, 2006.
Since June 2004, the Federal Reserve Board has attempted to manage U.S. economic growth and forestall potential inflation by gradually raising short-term interest rates. Recently, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke suggested that the Fed may soon pause to assess current economic data and evaluate the impact of its credit tightening campaign. In our view, the Fed’s efforts so far have largely been successful: the economy has grown at a moderate pace, the unemployment rate has dropped to multi-year lows, corporate profits have risen, and inflation has remained low despite volatile energy prices.
However, the financial markets are more likely to be influenced not by what the Fed already has accomplished, but by investors’ expectations of what is to come, including the Fed’s decision to increase rates further, maintain them at current levels or reduce them to stimulate future growth.We believe that this decision will depend largely on the outlook for core inflation in 2007.The Fed probably can stand pat as long as it expects inflation to remain subdued. But if inflationary pressures build in an expanding economy, the Fed may choose to resume tightening later this year.As always, we urge you to discuss with your financial advisor the potential implications of these possibilities on your investments.
For information about how the fund performed, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the fund’s portfolio manager.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Tom Durante, CFA, Portfolio Manager |
How did Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund perform relative |
to its benchmark? |
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2006, Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund produced a total return of 16.54% .1 The Standard
& Poor’s SmallCap 600 Index (the “S&P 600 Index”) produced a 16.92% return for the same period.2,3
A strong U.S. economy and rising corporate profits generally helped small-cap stocks advance during the reporting period. These factors more than offset the potentially negative influences of rising interest rates and volatile energy prices.The difference in returns between the fund and the S&P 600 Index was primarily due to the fund’s sampling strategy, transaction costs and other fund operating expenses.
What is the fund’s investment approach?
The fund seeks to match the total return of the S&P 600 Index. To reach this goal, the fund generally invests in a representative sample of the stocks listed in the S&P 600 Index.While the fund generally owns the vast majority of the stocks in the S&P 600 Index, some very small, less liquid stocks may be excluded from the portfolio. Often considered a barometer for the small-cap stock market in general, the S&P 600 Index is composed of 600 domestic stocks across 10 economic sectors. Each stock is weighted by its market capitalization; that is, larger companies have greater representation in the S&P 600 Index than smaller ones. The fund may also use stock index futures as a substitute for the sale or purchase of stocks.
As an index fund, the fund uses a passive management approach: all investment decisions are made based on the composition of the S&P 600 Index.The fund does not attempt to manage market volatility.
Small-cap stocks are often those of new and entrepreneurial companies and tend to grow faster than large-cap companies. They

also typically use any profits for expansion rather than for paying dividends. Compared to larger, more established companies, small companies are subject to more erratic market movements and may carry additional risks because, among other things, their revenues and earnings also tend to be less predictable. As a result, their stocks tend to be less liquid and more volatile.
What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?
The small-cap stock market generally benefited from strong economic growth and persistently low inflation during the reporting period. On the other hand, energy prices remained volatile, with oil prices falling from their post-Katrina peak in the final months of 2005 before soaring to new highs in 2006. At the same time, the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates by a full percentage point over the reporting period, making it more expensive for consumers and businesses to borrow.
Despite higher interest rates and rising fuel prices, and contrary to some analysts’ expectations, consumers have continued to spend and show confidence in the economy. At the same time, strong corporate profits and healthy balance sheets helped support an increase in capital spending among businesses. Investors also appeared to remain optimistic, as reflected by higher stock prices and their preference for smaller, faster-growing companies over larger, better known businesses with slower-but-steadier growth rates. As a result, as they have for some time, small-cap stocks continue to post greater gains than most large-cap companies during the reporting period.
Gains for the S&P 600 Index were particularly robust in the producer goods area, driven by rising global demand for heavy machinery, industrial parts, chemicals, metals and construction services. Stocks of steel producers advanced especially strongly due to steady growth in the U.S. economy as well as surging industrial demand from China and India. In the energy sector, a number of small, niche-oriented oil services companies benefited when they won contracts to help rebuild oil production and refinery capacity after the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes.

In the information technology area, electronic equipment stocks benefited from strong sales of products that boost worker productivity by streamlining operations and managing inventories more efficiently.
On the other hand, only a handful of the S&P 600 Index’s stocks posted negative absolute returns, including a regional airline, a home products company and an insurance company whose property division was based in the Gulf Coast region. However, weakness in these isolated areas detracted only slightly from otherwise strong performance for small-cap stocks over the reporting period.
What is the fund’s current strategy?
As an index fund, our strategy is to replicate the returns of the small-cap market as represented by the S&P 600 Index.Accordingly, the percentage of the fund’s assets invested in each market sector closely approximated its representation in the S&P 600 Index.While small-cap stocks may involve greater risk than larger-cap stocks, we believe that an investment in a broadly diversified small-cap index fund, such as Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund, may help investors manage the risks associated with small-cap investing by limiting the impact on the overall portfolio of unexpected losses in any single industry group or holding.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Index 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 three series including the fund.The fund’s investment objective is to match the performance of the Standard & Poor’s Small Cap 600 Index. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”). Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.
The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the fund may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications.The maximum exposure to the fund under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risks of loss to be remote.
(a) Portfolio valuation: 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
30 |
that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Investments in registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the fund’s Board of Directors. 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 ADR’s and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the funds Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered 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. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price on the principle exchange.
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss 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, amortization of discount and premium on investments, is accrued and earned.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A, an affiliate of the Manager, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It’s 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 will be maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager. The fund will be entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the leading transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund would bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.
The fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the fund, through its custodian and sub-custodian, takes possession of an underlying debt obligation in exchange for cash subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during the fund’s holding period.This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the fund’s holding period. It is the fund’s policy that the value of the collateral (debt obligation) is at least equal, at all times, to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. In the event of a counter party default, the fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.There is potential loss to the fund in the event the fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the fund seeks to assert its rights. The Manager, acting under the supervision of the Board of Directors, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the fund enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Manager are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gain, 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 gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, if any, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
(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.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, were as follows: ordinary income $4,961,921 and long-term capital gain $12,258,126.The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings.
The Fund 33 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
The average daily amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facility during the period ended April 30, 2006, was approximately $19,600 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 5.23% .
NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Manager has agreed to pay all the expenses of the fund, except management fees, brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, commitment fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees, fees and expenses of non-interested Board members (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Board members (including counsel fees). Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex (collectively, the “Fund Group”). Each Board member receives an annual fee of $40,000, an attendance fee of $5,000 for each in-person meeting and $500 for telephone meetings. The chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation (with the exception of reimburseable amounts). Subject to the Company’s Emeritus Program Guidelines, Emeritus Board Members, if any, receive 50% of the annual retainer fee and per meeting fee paid at the time the Board member achieves emeritus status.Amounts required to be paid by the Company directly to the non-interested Board members, that were applied to offset a portion of the management fee payable to the Manager, were in fact paid directly by the Manager to the non-interested Board members. All Board fees are allocated among the funds in the Fund Group in proportion to each fund’s relative net assets.
34 |
(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund pays the Distributor for the provision of certain services at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.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 (a securities dealer, bank or other financial institution) in respect of these services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended April 30, 2006, the fund was charged an aggregate of $1,018,923 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $186,190 and shareholders services plan fees $186,189.
(c) A 1% redemption fee is charged and retained by the fund on certain shares redeemed within six months following the date of issuance, including redemptions made through the use of the fund’s exchange privilege. During the period ended April 30, 2006, redemption fees charged and received by the fund amounted to $6,351. Cost of shares redeemed in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets is reflected net of redemption fees.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
‘The fund may invest in financial futures contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market. The fund is exposed to market risk as a result of changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments. Investments in financial futures require the fund to “mark to market” on a daily basis, which reflects
The Fund 35 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
the change in the market value of the contract at the close of each day’s trading. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses.When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.These investments require initial margin deposits with a broker, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Contracts open at April 30, 2006, are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
At April 30, 2006, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $235,086,924 consisting of $261,571,546 gross unrealized appreciation and $26,484,622 gross unrealized depreciation.
At April 30, 2006, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE |
FUND’S INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) |
At a Board of Directors meeting held on March 7, 2006, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement for a one-year term ending March 30, 2007.The Board is comprised entirely of individuals who have no affiliation with the Manager or any affiliates of the Manager.
Prior to the meeting, the Manager provided the Board members with extensive materials related to the renewal of the Management Agreement, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objective to the fund derived from data compiled by Lipper Inc., an independent third party (“Lipper”).
During the meeting, the Board members discussed the continuance of the Management Agreement with senior management of the Manager. At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board members and their independent counsel met in an executive session, at which no representatives of the Manager were present, to continue their discussion of continuance of the Management Agreement. In determining to continue the Management Agreement, the Board considered all factors which they believed to be relevant, including, among other things, the factors discussed below.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its Management Agreement.The Manager’s representatives reviewed the fund’s distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each. The Manager’s representatives noted the diversity of distribution of the fund, as well as other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the Manager’s corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each of the fund’s distribution channels. The Board members also reviewed the number of shareholder accounts in the fund, as well as the fund’s asset size.
The Fund 37 |
I N FO R M AT I O N A B O U T T H E R E V I E W | A N D A P P R OVA L | |
O F T H E F U N D ’ S M A N A G E M E N T | A G R E E M E N T ( U n a u d i t e d ) ( c o n t i n u e d ) |
The Board members also considered the Manager’s research and portfolio management capabilities and the Manager’s oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board members also considered the Manager’s extensive administrative, accounting, and compliance infrastructure.
Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance, management fee and expense ratio, placing significant emphasis on comparative data supplied by Lipper, including contractual and actual (net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements) management fees, operating expense components and total return performance.The fund’s performance was compared to that of a performance universe, consisting of all funds with the same Lipper classification/objective, and a performance group, consisting of comparable funds chosen by Lipper based on guidelines previously approved by the Board. Similarly, the fund’s contractual and actual management fee and operating expenses were compared to those of an expense universe, consisting of all funds with the same or similar Lipper classification/objective and a similar sales load structure, and an expense group, consisting comparable funds chosen by Lipper based on guidelines previously approved by the Board.As part of its review of expenses, the Board also considered other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, custody fees, any 12b-1 or non-12b-1 service fees, and other non-management fees, as well as any waivers or reimbursements of fees and expenses.
In its review of performance, the Board noted the fund was ranked first or second among its performance group for various periods ended January 31, 2006.The Board also noted the fund was ranked in the third quintile among its performance universe for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended January 31, 2006.The Board also took into account that the difference in returns between the fund and the S&P 600 Index primarily was due to the fund’s transactions costs and other operating expenses.
38 |
In its review of the fund’s management fee and operating expenses, the Board examined the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in the expense group and expense universe, noting, among other things, that the fund’s actual management fee was second-lowest among its expense group and ranked in the second quintile among its expense universe, while the fund’s actual total expense ratio was second-lowest of its expense group and ranked in the second quintile among its expense universe. The Board further noted that the fund’s management fee and actual total expense ratio were lower than the medians of the expense universe and the expense group.
Representatives of the Manager reviewed with the Board members the fees paid to the Manager or its affiliates by mutual funds and/or separate accounts managed by the Manager with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund (the “Similar Accounts”), and explained the nature of the Similar Accounts and the differences, from the Manager’s perspective, as applicable, in providing services to the Similar Accounts as compared to the fund. The Manager’s representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries. The Board analyzed differences in fees paid to the Manager and discussed the relationship of the advisory fees paid in light of the Manager’s performance, and the services provided. The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Accounts managed by the Manager, to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fees. The Board acknowledged that differences in fees paid by the Similar Accounts seemed to be consistent with the services provided.
Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Manager’s representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Manager and the method used to determine such expenses and profit.The Board members evaluated the analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows and

O F T H E F U N D ’ S M A N A G E M E N T | A G R E E M E N T ( U n a u d i t e d ) ( c o n t i n u e d ) |
whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors. It was noted that economies of scale also could be realized through an adviser’s reinvestment of money back into its business for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund’s portfolio.
It was noted that the Board members should consider the Manager’s profitability with respect to the fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fees under the Management Agreement bears a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager including the nature, extent, and quality of such services and that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been decreasing, the possibility that the Manager may have realized any economies of scale would be less.The Board members also discussed the profitability percentage ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the fund was not profitable to the Manager for the time period reported.
At the conclusion of these discussions, each Board member expressed the opinion that he or she had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on their discussions and considerations as described above, the Board members made the following conclusions and determinations:
• | The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the ser- | |
vices provided by the Manager are adequate and appropriate; | ||
• | The Board was satisfied with the fund’s overall performance; | |
• | The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund | |
was reasonable in light of comparative performance and expense | ||
and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided, and | ||
profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the | ||
Manager from its relationship with the fund; and |
40 |
• | The Board determined that the economies of scale which may | |
accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the man- | ||
agement of the fund had been adequately considered by the | ||
Manager in connection with the management fee rate charged to | ||
the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were to be deter- | ||
mined that material economies of scale had not been shared with | ||
the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale | ||
shared with the fund. |
The Board members considered these conclusions and determinations, along with the information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year, and, without any one factor being dispositive, the Board determined that re-approval of the fund’s Management Agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund, covering the six-month period from November 1, 2005, through April 30, 2006.
International stock markets have continued to rally, boosted by continued expectations for low inflation, relatively benign monetary policies among central banks and the recovery of domestic consumption in Japan and Europe. Although stock prices have increased over the past few years, so have earnings for most international companies, keeping valuations at what we believe to be reasonable levels.
Our international portfolio managers report that they are beginning to see early signs of a potentially broader market advance, beyond merely the energy and mining sectors that have led the rally so far. In Europe, high-profile mergers and acquisitions in the financial services, pharmaceuticals and industrials sectors have supported a generally upbeat economic outlook. While Japan recently has lagged Europe, greater economic stability and liquidity have brought an end to price deflation, which may support further gains if interest rates rise only moderately as the global economic cycle matures. As always, we urge you to discuss with your financial advisor the potential implications of these possibilities on your investments.
For information about how the fund performed, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the fund’s portfolio manager.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Susan Ellison, Portfolio Manager
How did Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund perform |
relative to its benchmark? |
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2006, the fund produced a total return of 22.46% ..1 This compares with an 22.89% total return for the fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Free Index (the “MSCI EAFE Free Index” or the “Index”), during the same period.2
We attribute the Index’s performance to a growing global economy, in which solid gains were achieved across all industry groups within the MSCI EAFE Free Index.The difference in returns between the fund and the Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and other operating expenses.
What is the fund’s investment approach?
In managing this fund, our goal is to match the performance of the MSCI EAFE Free Index, a broadly diversified, international index composed of approximately 1,100 stocks that trade in 21 major markets outside the United States, including Great Britain, Germany, France, Japan,Hong Kong,Singapore,Australia,Switzerland and the Netherlands.
Weighted by market capitalization (the total value of all shares outstanding in a country’s stock market) and share liquidity (a measure of the proportion of a company’s shares actually available to be bought or sold by the public), approximately 72% of the MSCI EAFE Free Index’s total value is represented by its top five countries, which currently are Great Britain, Japan, France, Switzerland and Germany. The MSCI EAFE Free Index is diversified among industry groups, as those groups are represented in individual country markets.
The fund attempts to match the Index return before fees and expenses by aligning the portfolio composition with the composition of the
The Fund 3 |
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued) |
MSCI EAFE Free Index. Beginning by country, the fund invests in proportion to each country’s weighting in the Index.That means that if the British market comprises 25% of the Index, then approximately 25% of the fund’s assets will be invested in Britain. In addition, the fund’s industry allocation also matches that of the Index, in the proper proportion. For example, if a certain percentage of the market value in the Japanese sub-index is composed of financial services firms, that same approximate percentage of the investment in the Japanese markets will also be invested in that sector. The fund also invests in securities that represent the market as a whole, such as stock index futures, and manages its exposure to foreign currencies so that the fund’s currency profile matches the currency makeup of the MSCI EAFE Free Index.
What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?
Throughout much of the reporting period, the international equity markets demonstrated continued resilience, fueled in large part by robust global economic growth, low inflation expectations and relatively benign monetary policies from central banks worldwide. In Europe, restructuring efforts continued to benefit many companies, most notably German firms with strong export businesses. Stocks in Italy and France rallied amid a rise in mergers-and-acquisitions activity across a number of industry groups. Japan’s stock market posted especially strong results when the domestic economy recovered in the wake of long-awaited reforms to the nation’s banking system. Over the reporting period, the Index posted gains in all 21 of the countries it tracks.
Japan, the U.K., France, Germany and Switzerland, combined, comprise just over 72% of the Index’s total assets, and all produced attractive returns. However, Norway, Finland and Portugal provided particularly strong results during the reporting period. In Norway, the fund received significant contributions to performance from Petroleum Geo-Services, an oil services company that provides marine seismic data and onshore surveying in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. In Finland, the fund held Outokumpu Copper Products, a copper and
4 |
stainless steel refiner, and Rautaruukki, a steel manufacturer, both of which flourished due to rising commodities prices. Portugal also provided attractive returns, with gains driven by Banco BPI, a financial company with retail, commercial and investment banking services. New Zealand proved to be the laggard of the reporting period, the only country within the Index to produce less than double-digit returns.
From a market sector standpoint, the capital goods, financial services, technology, consumer durables and raw materials areas ranked among the top contributors to the Index’s return during the reporting period. The only significant laggard was the telecommunications services sector, where companies generally were challenged by heightened competitive pressures.
What is the fund’s current strategy?
The fund’s longstanding strategy is to provide investors with a cost-effective way to gain broad exposure to developed international markets, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Free Index. As an index fund, the fund’s investments are not affected by any individual’s preference for one market over another or one security over another. Instead the fund attempts to reflect the general composition and performance of the overall market.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Index 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 three series including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to provide investment results that correspond to the net dividend and total return performance of equity securities of international issuers in the aggregate, as represented by the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe,Australia, Far East (Free) Index. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser.The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”). Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.
The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the fund may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications.The maximum exposure to the fund under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risks of loss to be remote.
(a) Portfolio valuation: 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
46 |
valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Investments in registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the fund’s Board of Directors. 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 ADR’s and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the funds Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered 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. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price on the principle exchange.
(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 market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
The Fund 47 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions 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 in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Such gains and losses are 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 gain and loss 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 accrued as earned.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A, an affiliate of the Manager, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy, 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 will be maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager. The fund will be entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction.Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund would bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.
(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Manager are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
(e) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends
48 |
from net realized capital gain, 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 gain 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 incomes tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
(f) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $12,224,271 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2005. If not applied, $1,262,185 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2009, $5,891,135 expires in fiscal 2010, $4,292,311 expires in fiscal 2011 and $778,640 expires in fiscal 2012.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, were as follows: ordinary income $2,772,459. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
NOTE 2—Bank Line Of Credit: |
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. During the period ended April 30, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .35% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Manager has agreed to pay all the expenses of the fund, except management fees, brokerage commissions, taxes, commitment fees, interest, Shareholder Services Plan fees, fees and expenses of non-interested Board Members (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Board Members (including counsel fees). Each Board member also serves as a Board Member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex (collectively, the “Fund Group”). Each Board member receives an annual fee of $40,000, an attendance fee of $5,000 for each in-person meeting and $500 for telephone meetings. The chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation (with the exception of reimbursable amounts). Subject to the Company’s Emeritus Program Guidelines, Emeritus Board members, if any, receive 50% of the Company’s annual retainer fee and per meeting fee paid at the time the Board member achieves emeritus status. Amounts required to be paid by the Company directly to the non-interested Board members, that were applied to offset a portion of the management fee payable to the Manager were in fact paid directly by the Manager to the non-interested Board members. All Board fees are allocated among the funds in the Fund Group in proportion to each fund’s relative net assets.
(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund pays the Distributor for the provision of certain services, a fee at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. 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
50 |
Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended April 30, 2006, the fund was charged $309,869 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $83,870, and shareholder services plan fees $59,907.
(c) A 1% redemption fee is charged and retained by the fund on certain shares redeemed within six months following the date of issuance, including redemptions made through the use of the fund’s exchange privilege.
(d) Pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund invests it’s available cash balances in affiliated money market mutual funds. Management fees of the underlying money market mutual funds have been waived by the Manager.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, forward currency exchange contracts and financial futures, during the period ended April 30, 2006, amounted to $51,339,774 and $3,425,778, respectively.
The fund may enter into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings and to settle foreign currency transactions. When executing forward currency exchange 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 currency exchange contracts, the fund would incur 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 currency exchange contracts, the fund would

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
incur 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. The fund is also exposed to credit risk associated with counter party nonperformance on these forward currency exchange contracts which is typically limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract.

The fund may invest in financial futures contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market. The fund is exposed to market risk as a result of changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments. Investments in financial futures require the fund to “mark to market” on a daily basis, which reflects the change in the market value of the contract at the close of each day’s trading.
52 |
Typically, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses.When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.These investments require initial margin deposits with a broker, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Contracts open as of April 30, 2006, are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
At April 30, 2006, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $85,957,400 consisting of $88,317,185 gross unrealized appreciation and $2,359,785 gross unrealized depreciation.
At April 30, 2006, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see Statement of Investment).

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE |
FUND’S INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) |
At a Board of Directors meeting held on March 7, 2006, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement for a one-year term ending March 30, 2007.The Board is comprised entirely of individuals who have no affiliation with the Manager or any affiliates of the Manager.
Prior to the meeting, the Manager provided the Board members with extensive materials related to the renewal of the Management Agreement, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objective to the fund derived from data compiled by Lipper Inc., an independent third party (“Lipper”).
During the meeting, the Board members discussed the continuance of the Management Agreement with senior management of the Manager. At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board members and their independent counsel met in an executive session, at which no representatives of the Manager were present, to continue their discussion of continuance of the Management Agreement. In determining to continue the Management Agreement, the Board considered all factors which they believed to be relevant, including, among other things, the factors discussed below.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its Management Agreement.The Manager’s representatives reviewed the fund’s distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each. The Manager’s representatives noted the diversity of distribution of the fund, as well as other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the Manager’s corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to
54 |
provide ongoing shareholder services to each of the fund’s distribution channels. The Board members also reviewed the number of shareholder accounts in the fund, as well as the fund’s asset size.
The Board members also considered the Manager’s research and portfolio management capabilities and the Manager’s oversight of day-today fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements.The Board members also considered the Manager’s extensive administrative, accounting, and compliance infrastructure.
Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance, management fee and expense ratio, placing significant emphasis on comparative data supplied by Lipper, including contractual and actual (net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements) management fees, operating expense components and total return performance.The fund’s performance was compared to that of a performance universe, consisting of all funds with the same Lipper classification/objective, and a performance group, consisting of comparable funds chosen by Lipper based on guidelines previously approved by the Board. Similarly, the fund’s contractual and actual management fee and operating expenses were compared to those of an expense universe, consisting of all funds with the same or similar Lipper classification/objective and a similar sales load structure, and an expense group, consisting comparable funds chosen by Lipper based on guidelines previously approved by the Board.As part of its review of expenses, the Board also considered other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, custody fees, any 12b-1 or non-12b-1 service fees, and other non-management fees, as well as any waivers or reimbursements of fees and expenses.
In its review of performance, the Board noted the fund was ranked in the second, third, or fourth quintile among its performance group and
The Fund 55 |
INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S |
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued) |
performance universe for various periods ended January 31, 2006.The Board also noted that the difference in returns between the fund and the MSCI EAFE Free Index was primarily due to the fund’s transactions costs and other operating expenses.
In its review of the fund’s management fee and operating expenses, the Board examined the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in the expense group and expense universe, noting, among other things, that the fund’s actual management fee and actual total expense ratio were lower than the average and the median of the expense group.
Representatives of the Manager reviewed with the Board members the fees paid to the Manager or its affiliates by mutual funds and/or separate accounts managed by the Manager with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund (the "Similar Accounts"), and explained the nature of the Similar Accounts and the differences, from the Manager’s perspective, as applicable, in providing services to the Similar Accounts as compared to the fund. The Manager’s representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries. The Board analyzed differences in fees paid to the Manager and discussed the relationship of the advisory fees paid in light of the Manager’s performance, and the services provided. The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Accounts managed by the Manager, to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fees. The Board acknowledged that differences in fees paid by the Similar Accounts seemed to be consistent with the services provided.
Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Manager’s representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Manager and the method used to determine such expenses and profit.The Board members evaluated the analysis in
56 |
light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors. It was noted that economies of scale also could be realized through an adviser’s reinvestment of money back into its business for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund’s portfolio.
It was noted that the Board members should consider the Manager’s profitability with respect to the fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fees under the Management Agreement bears a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager including the nature, extent, and quality of such services and that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been decreasing, the possibility that the Manager may have realized any economies of scale would be less.The Board members also discussed the profitability percentage ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the fund was not profitable to the Manager for the time period reported.
At the conclusion of these discussions, each Board member expressed the opinion that he or she had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on their discussions and considerations as described above, the Board members made the following conclusions and determinations:
- The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the ser- vices provided by the Manager are adequate and appropriate;
The Fund 57 |

• | The Board was satisfied with the fund’s overall performance; | |
• | The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund | |
was reasonable in light of comparative performance and expense | ||
and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided, and | ||
profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the | ||
Manager from its relationship with the fund; and | ||
• | The Board determined that the economies of scale which may | |
accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the man- | ||
agement of the fund had been adequately considered by the | ||
Manager in connection with the management fee rate charged to | ||
the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were to be deter- | ||
mined that material economies of scale had not been shared with | ||
the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale | ||
shared with the fund. |
The Board members considered these conclusions and determinations, along with the information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year, and, without any one factor being dispositive, the Board determined that re-approval of the fund’s Management Agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund, covering the six-month period from November 1, 2005, through April 30, 2006.
Since June 2004, the Federal Reserve Board has attempted to manage U.S. economic growth and forestall potential inflation by gradually raising short-term interest rates. Recently, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke suggested that the Fed may soon pause to assess current economic data and evaluate the impact of its credit tightening campaign. In our view, the Fed’s efforts so far have largely been successful: the economy has grown at a moderate pace, the unemployment rate has dropped to multi-year lows, corporate profits have risen, and inflation has remained low despite volatile energy prices.
However, the financial markets are more likely to be influenced not by what the Fed already has accomplished, but by investors’ expectations of what is to come, including the Fed’s decision to increase rates further, maintain them at current levels or reduce them to stimulate future growth.We believe that this decision will depend largely on the outlook for core inflation in 2007.The Fed probably can stand pat as long as it expects inflation to remain subdued. But if inflationary pressures build in an expanding economy, the Fed may choose to resume tightening later this year.As always, we urge you to discuss with your financial advisor the potential implications of these possibilities on your investments.
For information about how the fund performed, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the fund’s portfolio manager.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Tom Durante, CFA, Portfolio Manager |
How did Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund perform relative to its |
benchmark? |
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2006, the fund produced a total return of 9.39% .1 The Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, produced an 9.64% return for the same period.2,3
We attribute the market’s performance to continued U.S. economic growth and strong corporate profits. These factors handily offset the negative influences of rising interest rates and volatile energy prices. The difference in returns between the fund and the S&P 500 Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and other operating expenses that are not reflected by the S&P 500 Index.
What is the fund’s investment approach?
The fund seeks to match the total return of the S&P 500 Index.To pursue this goal, the fund generally invests in all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 Index in proportion to their weighting in the S&P 500 Index. Often considered a barometer for the stock market in general, the S&P 500 Index is made up of 500 widely held common stocks across 10 economic sectors.The S&P 500 Index is dominated by large-cap, blue-chip stocks that comprise nearly 75% of total U.S. market capitalization.
However, it is important to note that the S&P 500 Index is not composed of the 500 largest companies; rather, it is designed to reflect the industries of the U.S. economy. Each stock is weighted by its market capitalization; that is, larger companies have greater representation in the S&P 500 Index than smaller ones. The fund may also use stock index futures as a substitute for the sale or purchase of stocks.
As an index fund, the fund uses a passive management approach; all investment decisions are made based on the composition of the S&P 500 Index.The fund does not attempt to manage market volatility.
The Fund 3 |
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued) |
What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?
When the reporting period began, many investors had become concerned that higher short-term interest rates and rising energy prices might erode consumer spending and reduce the rate of U.S. economic growth. However, higher fuel and borrowing costs have so far failed to dampen consumer confidence. Instead, business investment has accelerated, inflationary pressures have remained subdued and corporate earnings have risen, helping to support higher stock prices. What’s more, many large-cap companies have benefited from significant overseas operations in the growing global economy.
Among the greatest contributors to the S&P 500 Index for the reporting period were banks and asset management firms within the financials sector. Banks were buoyed by a healthy economy and low default loan rates, while brokerage firms benefited from a higher volume of U.S. stock market trading, increased mergers-and-acquisitions activity and well-diversified international businesses.
Other positive contributors to the S&P 500 Index’s performance included the producer goods area, which consists of a variety of metals and mining, industrial parts, chemicals, heavy machinery and defense companies. Stocks in these areas flourished as the global economy continued to expand and demand intensified for the raw materials and other industrial goods required to build the industrial infrastructures of a number of developing nations. Similarly, the S&P 500 Index received strong contributions from the energy sector, as increased demand from China, India and other emerging markets for a limited supply of crude oil and natural gas helped propel energy stock prices higher. Integrated energy producers and oil services providers fared especially well, followed by oil refiners and exploration and production companies. A wave of mergers-and-acquisitions activity also benefited several integrated energy producers.
On the other hand, some Internet companies in the information technology area produced generally disappointing results, largely due to increased competition and aggressive spending on the latest software,
4 |
services and products needed to attract customers to their websites. In the health care sector, HMOs also detracted from the S&P 500 Index’s returns. While these stocks as a group have enjoyed favorable returns for some time now, they were hurt during the reporting period by enrollment delays related to the new Medicare prescription drug program. Finally, in the consumer cyclicals area, automobile manufacturers continued to suffer from “legacy costs,” including high wages for labor, steep health care expenditures and generous pensions.
What is the fund’s current strategy?
As an index fund, our strategy is to attempt to replicate the returns of the S&P 500 Index. Accordingly, the percentage of the fund’s assets invested in each industry group closely approximated its representation in the S&P 500 Index. In our view, an investment in a broadly diversified index fund, such as Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund, may help investors in their efforts to manage stock market risk by limiting the impact on the overall portfolio of unexpected losses in any single industry group or holding.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Index 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 three series including the fund.The fund’s investment objective is to match the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index.The Dreyfus Corporation (“the Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”). Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.
The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the fund under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the fund expects the risks of the loss to be remote.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price
28 |
is used when no asked price is available. Investments in registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the fund’s Board of Directors. 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 ADR’s and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the funds Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered 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. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price on the principle exchange.
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss 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 accrued as earned.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank N.A., an affiliate of the Manager, 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. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager as shown in the fund’s Statement of Investments. The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities
The Fund 29 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transac-tion.Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.
The fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the fund, through its custodian and sub-custodian, takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during the fund’s holding period. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the fund’s holding period. It is the fund’s policy that the value of the collateral (debt obligation) is at least equal, at all times, to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. In the event of a counter party default, the fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.There is potential loss to the fund in the event the fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the fund seeks to assert its rights.The Manager, acting under the supervision of the Board of Directors, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthi-ness of those banks and dealers with which the fund enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Manager are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gain, 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 gain, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distribu-
30 |
tions are determined in accordance with incomes tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
(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.
The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $68,985,526 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2005. If not applied, $67,358,094 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2010 and $1,627,432 expires in fiscal 2011.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, were as follows: ordinary income $48,499,041. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings.
The average daily amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facility during the period ended April 30, 2006, was approximately $217,000 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 5.05% .
NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, and is payable
The Fund 31 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Manager has agreed to pay all the expenses of the fund, except management fees, brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, commitment fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees, fees and expenses of non-interested Board members (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fees in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Board members (including counsel fees). Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex (collectively, the “Fund Group”). Each Board member receives an annual fee of $40,000, an attendance fee of $5,000 for each in-person meeting and $500 for telephone meetings.All Board fees are allocated among the funds in the Fund Group in proportion to each fund’s relative net assets. Amounts required to be paid by the Company directly to the non-interested Board members, that were applied to offset a portion of the management fee payable to the Manager, were in fact paid directly by the Manager to the non-interested Board members.All Board fees are allocated among the funds in the Fund Group in proportion to each fund’s relative net assets.
(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund pays the Distributor for the provision of certain services a fee, at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. 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 (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period April 30, 2006, the fund was charged $4,286,986 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $718,403 and shareholder services plan fees $718,404.
32 |
(c) A 1% redemption fee is charged and retained by the fund on certain shares redeemed within six months following the date of issuance,includ-ing redemptions made through the use of the fund’s exchange privilege. During the period ended April 30, 2006, redemption fees charged and retained by the fund amounted to $7,814. Cost of shares redeemed in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets is reflected net of redemption fees.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and financial futures during the period ended April 30, 2006, amounted to $110,605,610 and $186,982,770, respectively.
The fund may invest in financial futures contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market. The fund is exposed to market risk as a result of changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments. Investments in financial futures require the fund to “mark to market” on a daily basis, which reflects the change in the market value of the contract at the close of each day’s trading. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses.When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.These investments require initial margin deposits with a broker, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Contracts open as of April 30, 2006, are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
At April 30, 2006, accumulated unrealized appreciation on investments was $1,016,278,281 consisting of $1,247,524,920 gross unrealized appreciation and $231,246,639 gross unrealized depreciation.
At April 30, 2006, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

APPROVAL OF | THE FUND’S I N V E S T M E N T | |
MANAGEMENT | AGREEMENT (Unaudited) |
At a Board of Directors meeting held on March 7, 2006, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement for a one-year term ending March 30, 2007.The Board is comprised entirely of individuals who have no affiliation with the Manager or any affiliates of the Manager.
Prior to the meeting, the Manager provided the Board members with extensive materials related to the renewal of the Management Agreement, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objective to the fund derived from data compiled by Lipper Inc., an independent third party (“Lipper”).
During the meeting, the Board members discussed the continuance of the Management Agreement with senior management of the Manager. At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board members and their independent counsel met in an executive session, at which no representatives of the Manager were present, to continue their discussion of continuance of the Management Agreement. In determining to continue the Management Agreement, the Board considered all factors which they believed to be relevant, including, among other things, the factors discussed below.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its Management Agreement. The Manager’s representatives reviewed the fund’s distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each.The Manager’s representatives noted the diversity of distribution of the fund, as well as other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the Manager’s
34 |
corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each of the fund’s distribution channels.The Board members also reviewed the number of shareholder accounts in the fund, as well as the fund’s asset size.
The Board members also considered the Manager’s research and portfolio management capabilities and that the Manager also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board members also considered the Manager’s extensive administrative, accounting, and compliance infrastructure.
Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance, management fee and expense ratio, placing significant emphasis on comparative data supplied by Lipper, including contractual and actual (net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements) management fees, operating expense components and total return performance.The fund’s performance was compared to that of a performance universe, consisting of all funds with the same Lipper classification/objective, and a performance group, consisting of comparable funds chosen by Lipper based on guidelines previously approved by the Board. Similarly, the fund’s contractual and actual management fee and operating expenses were compared to those of an expense universe, consisting of all funds with the same or similar Lipper classification/objective and a similar sales load structure, and an expense group, consisting comparable funds chosen by Lipper based on guidelines previously approved by the Board.As part of its review of expenses, the Board also considered other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, custody fees, any 12b-1 or non-12b-1 service fees, and other non-management fees, as well as any waivers or reimbursements of fees and expenses.
The Fund 35 |
INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S |
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued) |
In its review of performance, the Board noted the fund was ranked in the second or third quintiles among its performance group and performance universe for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended January 31, 2006.The board further noted that the fund’s total return equaled or exceeded the median total return of the expense group for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five, and ten-year periods ended January 31, 2006.The Board also noted that the difference in returns between the fund and the S&P 500 Index was primarily due to the fund’s transactions costs and other operating expenses.
In its review of the fund’s management fee and operating expenses, the Board examined the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in the expense group and expense universe, noting, among other things, that the fund’s actual management fee was in the fourth quintile among its expense group and expense universe, while the fund’s actual total expense ratio was in the second quintile of its expense group and expense universe.The Board further noted that the fund’s actual total expense ratio was lower than the median of the expense universe and the expense group.
Representatives of the Manager reviewed with the Board members the fees paid to the Manager or its affiliates by mutual funds and/or separate accounts managed by the Manager with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund (the “Similar Accounts”), and explained the nature of the Similar Accounts and the differences, from the Manager’s perspective, as applicable, in providing services to the Similar Accounts as compared to the fund. The Manager’s representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries. The Board analyzed differences in fees paid to the Manager and discussed the relationship of the advisory fees paid in light of the Manager’s performance, and the services provided. The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Accounts managed by the Manager, to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fees.
36 |
The Board acknowledged that differences in fees paid by the Similar Accounts seemed to be consistent with the services provided.
Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Manager’s representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Manager and the method used to determine such expenses and profit.The Board members evaluated the analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors. It was noted that economies of scale also could be realized through an adviser’s reinvestment of money back into its business for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund’s portfolio.
It was noted that the Board members should consider the Manager’s profitability with respect to the fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fees under the Management Agreement bears a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager including the nature, extent, and quality of such services and that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been decreasing, the possibility that the Manager may have realized any economies of scale would be less.The Board members also discussed the profitability percentage ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the Manager’s respective profitability percentages for managing the fund were not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided. It also was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the portfolio was within rangers determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services provided.
The Fund 37 |
INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S |
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued) |
At the conclusion of these discussions, each Board member expressed the opinion that he or she had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on their discussions and considerations as described above, the Board members made the following conclusions and determinations.
• | The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the | |
services provided by the Manager are adequate and appropriate. | ||
• | The Board was satisfied with the fund’s overall performance. | |
• | The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund | |
was reasonable in light of comparative performance and expense | ||
and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided, and | ||
profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the | ||
Manager from its relationship with the fund. | ||
• | The Board determined that the economies of scale which may | |
accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the man- | ||
agement of the fund had been adequately considered by the | ||
Manager in connection with the management fee rate charged to | ||
the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were to be deter- | ||
mined that material economies of scale had not been shared with | ||
the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale | ||
shared with the fund. |
The Board members considered these conclusions and determinations, along with the information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year, and, without any one factor being dispositive, the Board determined that re-approval of the fund’s Management Agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
