A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Inflation Adjusted Securities Fund, covering the six-month period from August 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011.
The past six months proved to be a volatile time for the financial markets, but most asset classes, including bonds, generally produced positive absolute returns for the reporting period. Investors’ concerns regarding a sovereign debt crisis in Europe and stubbornly high unemployment in the United States later gave way to optimism that massive economic stimulus programs, robust growth in the world’s emerging markets, a strong holiday retail season and rising corporate earnings signaled better economic times ahead. Consequently, returns were particularly strong in higher yielding fixed-income market sectors, including investment-grade and high yield corporate bonds. In contrast, traditionally defensive U.S. government securities weathered pronounced weakness during the fourth quarter, with long-term U.S. Treasury bonds posting modest declines, on average.
As the first quarter of 2011 unfolds, we are aware that short-term interest rates may rise from historically low levels if growth accelerates, while any new economic setbacks could spark heightened market volatility among corporate and mortgage-backed securities. Nonetheless, we continue to see value in the bond market, and a well-diversified bond portfolio can help temper volatility stemming from unexpected economic or market developments. Of course, your financial advisor may be in the best position to help you seize the opportunities and confront the challenges produced by the financial markets in the months ahead.
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 August 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011, as provided by Robert Bayston, Portfolio Manager
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended January 31, 2011, Dreyfus Inflation Adjusted Securities Fund’s Institutional shares produced a total return of 1.40%, and the fund’s Investor shares returned 1.31%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S.Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 1.87% for the same period.2
AlthoughTreasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) fared relatively well early in the reporting period, they later suffered a sell-off when new stimulative measures caused investors to increase their expectations for economic growth and eventual hikes in short-term interest rates. The fund produced lower returns than its benchmark, primarily due to its relatively long average duration and an emphasis on intermediate-term securities that were more severely affected than other maturity ranges by changing investor sentiment.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks returns that exceed the rate of inflation. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in inflation-indexed securities, which are fixed-income securities designed to protect investors from a loss of value due to inflation by periodically adjusting their principal and/or coupon according to the rate of inflation.
The fund invests primarily in high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated, inflation-indexed securities.To a limited extent, the fund may invest in foreign currency-denominated, inflation-protected securities and other fixed-income securities not adjusted for inflation, including U.S. government bonds and notes, corporate bonds, mortgage-related securities and asset-backed securities. The fund seeks to keep its average effective duration between two and 10 years, and the fund may invest in securities of any maturity without restriction.
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Changing Economic Expectations Sparked a Market Decline
The reporting period began in the midst of a “soft patch” in the U.S. economic recovery, which already had been weaker than historical averages in the wake of the 2007-2009 recession. Investors became increasingly concerned in the weeks prior to the reporting period about persistently high levels of unemployment, lack of meaningful improvement in housing markets and the potential effects of a sovereign debt crisis in Europe. As a result, they generally turned to traditional safe havens, including U.S.Treasury securities. Inflation expectations remained muted in the sluggish economy, and breakeven inflation rates for TIPS stood at relatively low levels, supporting prices.
After the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) announced a second round of quantitative easing in September through the purchase of $600 million of U.S.Treasury securities, it became clearer that investors’ economic concerns were overblown. Although many market participants expected the Fed’s program to put upward pressure on Treasury prices, the opposite occurred. U.S. Treasury securities declined sharply through year-end as investors looked forward to a stronger U.S. economy and the eventual end of the Fed’s aggressively accommodative monetary policy. New tax cuts enacted in the weeks following the U.S. midterm elections also contributed to expectations of a more robust economic recovery.
Although yields on TIPS generally ended the reporting period close to where they began, breakeven inflation rates increased from approximately 1.50% in August 2010 to as high as 2.45% in January 2011.
Interest Rates Strategies Undermined Relative Performance
The fund proved to be too constructively positioned as these developments unfolded.We had focused on intermediate-term securities that we believed would be the primary targets of the Fed’s quantitative easing efforts, but short-term TIPS fared better, dampening the fund’s results compared to its benchmark. Likewise, we had adopted a relatively long average duration, which magnified the adverse effects of rising interest rates.
Nonetheless, it is worthwhile to note thatTIPS generally retained more of their value than nominal U.S.Treasury securities, enabling the fund to produce positive absolute returns for the reporting period overall.
4
Repositioned for Stronger Growth in the Near Term
As of the reporting period’s end, the consensus among investors appears to be that U.S. economic growth during the early months of 2011 will be between one and two percentage points greater than previously esti-mated.We agree that a more stimulative fiscal policy, combined with the Fed’s accommodative monetary policy, is likely to boost the economic growth rate over the near term. Therefore, we have shifted the fund’s duration posture toward a market-neutral position.We have maintained the fund’s focus on intermediate-term securities, where we believe values are particularly attractive.
However, we are less convinced that a more robust economic growth rate can be sustained over the longer term without additional stimulus from the Fed or U.S. government. Consequently, we are prepared to adopt a more constructive posture should economic and market conditions deteriorate, potentially delaying any increase in short-term interest rates and triggering a renewed “flight to quality” among investors.

| 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. |
| Interest payments on inflation-protected bonds will vary as the bond’s principal value is |
| periodically adjusted based on the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the |
| interest payable on these securities will be reduced.Any increase in the principal amount of an |
| inflation-protected bond (which follows a rise in the relevant inflation index), will be considered |
| taxable ordinary income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. |
| During periods of rising interest rates and flat or declining inflation rates, inflation-protected bonds |
| can underperform. Inflation-protected bonds issued by corporations generally do not guarantee |
| repayment of principal. |
| The fund may use derivative instruments, such as options, futures and options on futures, forward |
| contracts, swaps (including credit default swaps on corporate bonds and asset-backed securities), |
| options on swaps and other credit derivatives.A small investment in derivatives could have a |
| potentially large impact on the fund’s performance.The use of derivatives involves risks different |
| from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets. |
1 | Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no |
| guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon |
| redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. |
2 | SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital |
| gain distributions.The Barclays Capital U.S.Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index is a |
| sub-index of the U.S.Treasury component of the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Index. |
| Securities in the Barclays Capital U.S.Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index are dollar- |
| denominated, non-convertible, publicly issued, fixed-rate, investment-grade (Moody’s Baa3 or |
| better) U.S.Treasury inflation notes, with at least one year to final maturity and at least $100 |
| million par amount outstanding. Investors cannot invest directly in any index. |
UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Inflation Adjusted Securities Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of Dreyfus Investment Grade 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 seek returns that exceed the rate of inflation.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary ofThe Bank of NewYork 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, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.The fund is authorized to issue 500 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Investor and Institutional. Investor shares are subject to a shareholder services plan. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs, the minimum initial investment and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
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 Company 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 excluding short-term investments (other than U.S.Treasury Bills), are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the 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 valued as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Restricted securities, as well as securities or other assets for which recent market quotations are not readily available, and are not valued by a pricing service approved by the Board of Directors, or are determined by the fund not to reflect accurately fair value, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.The factors that may be considered when fair valuing a security include 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. Short-term
16
investments, excluding U.S.Treasury Bills, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates value. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.
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 January 31, 2011 in valuing the fund’s investments:

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. No significant transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements occurred at January 31, 2011. 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 currently 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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit.The fund is 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 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. During the period ended January 31, 2011, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $2,548 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
The fund may invest in shares of certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by Dreyfus. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended January 31, 2011 were as follows:

(d) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended January 31, 2011, 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 July 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $419,083 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to July 31, 2010. If not applied, $47,768 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2017 and $371,315 expires in fiscal 2018.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010 was as follows: ordinary income $2,162,589. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Intermediate Term Income Fund, covering the six-month period from August 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011.
The past six months proved to be a volatile time for the financial markets, but most asset classes, including bonds, generally produced positive absolute returns for the reporting period. Investors’ concerns regarding a sovereign debt crisis in Europe and stubbornly high unemployment in the United States later gave way to optimism that massive economic stimulus programs, robust growth in the world’s emerging markets, a strong holiday retail season and rising corporate earnings signaled better economic times ahead. Consequently, returns were particularly strong in higher yielding fixed-income market sectors, including investment-grade and high yield corporate bonds. In contrast, traditionally defensive U.S. government securities weathered pronounced weakness during the fourth quarter, with long-term U.S. Treasury bonds posting modest declines, on average.
As the first quarter of 2011 unfolds, we are aware that short-term interest rates may rise from historically low levels if growth accelerates, while any new economic setbacks could spark heightened market volatility among corporate and mortgage-backed securities. Nonetheless, we continue to see value in the bond market, and a well-diversified bond portfolio can help temper volatility stemming from unexpected economic or market developments. Of course, your financial advisor may be in the best position to help you seize the opportunities and confront the challenges produced by the financial markets in the months ahead.
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 August 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011, as provided by David Horsfall, David Bowser, CFA, and Peter Vaream, Portfolio Managers
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended January 31, 2011, Dreyfus Intermediate Term Income Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 1.57%, Class B shares returned 1.17%, Class C shares returned 1.19% and Class I shares returned 1.84%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, achieved a total return of 0.20% for the same period.2
The reporting period generally proved to be a favorable time for higher yielding sectors of the bond market, but U.S. government securities declined as the economy continued to emerge from recession.The fund produced higher returns than its benchmark, primarily due to its emphasis on market sectors that fared well in a recovering economy.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks to maximize total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income.To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in fixed-income securities of U.S. and foreign issuers rated at least investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.These securities include: U.S. government bonds and notes, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, convertible securities, preferred stocks, inflation-indexed securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities and foreign bonds.Typically, the fund can be expected to have an average effective maturity ranging from five to 10 years, and an average effective duration ranging between three and eight years. For additional yield, the fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in fixed-income securities rated below investment grade.
Stimulative Policies Fueled Rallying Credit Markets
Although the reporting period began in the midst of recovery from a global recession, recent macroeconomic developments threatened to derail an already choppy rebound. High unemployment and troubled housing markets weighed on U.S. economic growth, and Europe was
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
roiled by a sovereign debt crisis. As a result, investors at the start of the reporting period favored high-quality investments, such as U.S. government securities.
In response to the sluggish economy, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) maintained its target for the federal funds rate in a range between 0% and 0.25%, and it announced a new round of quantitative easing of monetary policy for the fall.The Fed’s announcement helped trigger a resurgence among high yield and investment-grade corporate-backed bonds. Meanwhile, it became clearer that earlier concerns regarding a potential double-dip recession were overblown, helping to support additional gains among corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. As investors grew more tolerant of credit risks, they shifted their attention away from traditional safe havens, and U.S. government securities gave back many of the gains achieved earlier in the year.
Constructive Posture Bolstered Relative Performance
By the start of the reporting period, we had boosted the fund’s holdings of U.S.Treasury securities, and we focused more intently on intermediate-term bonds in anticipation of steeper yield differences along the market’s maturity range.These strategies proved relatively effective during the “flight to quality” that prevailed over much of the summer of 2010.
As evidence mounted that the economic recovery would continue, we shifted to a more constructive investment posture. We reduced the fund’s holdings of U.S. government securities and increased its positions in high yield and investment-grade corporate bonds. High yield bonds from the energy, media, cable and paper-and-packaging industry groups fared particularly well, and investment-grade bonds issued by financial companies rebounded strongly from previously depressed levels. We also maintained a significant position in commercial mortgage-backed securities, which produced competitive levels of income and gained value in the recovering economy.
The fund’s interest rate strategies detracted mildly from the fund’s relative performance during the reporting period, as a slightly longer-than-average duration increased its sensitivity to market volatility. Our focus on bonds with maturities in the five- to seven-year maturity range helped offset a portion of weakness stemming from the fund’s duration posture.
4
We successfully employed Treasury futures and interest-rate options to help establish the fund’s duration and yield curve positions.
Finding Opportunities in a More Mature Recovery
While economic headwinds have lingered, we expect the U.S. economic recovery to persist as 2011 unfolds. Inflation has remained negligible, and we see little reason for the Fed to raise short-term interest rates anytime soon. Consequently, the appetite among domestic and overseas investors for competitive yields and higher levels of credit risk should remain robust.
However, in the wake of strong performance in many sectors of the U.S. bond market, we believe that fixed-income returns are likely to moderate over the months ahead. Indeed, selectivity within market sectors may be the key to generating above-average returns. In our judgment, our research-intensive investment process makes the fund particularly well suited to uncover potential opportunities in a more selective investment climate.

| 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. |
| The fund may use derivative instruments, such as options, futures and options on futures, forward |
| contracts, swaps (including credit default swaps on corporate bonds and asset-backed securities), |
| options on swaps and other credit derivatives.A small investment in derivatives could have a |
| potentially large impact on the fund’s performance.The use of derivatives involves risks different |
| from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets. |
1 | Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into |
| consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares, or the applicable |
| contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and Class C |
| shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no |

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)
As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds.You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.
Review your fund’s expenses
The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus Intermediate Term Income Fund from August 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Intermediate Term Income Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of Dreyfus Investment Grade 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 seeks to maximize total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.
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 1.2 billion shares of $.001 par value Common Stock.The fund currently offers four classes of shares: Class A (500 million shares authorized), Class B (100 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized) and Class I (500 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 no longer offers 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. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company 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, excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills), financial futures, options transactions, swap transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the 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 valued as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Restricted securities, as well as securities or other assets for which recent market quotations are not
38
readily available, that are not valued by a pricing service approved by the Board of Directors, or are determined by the fund not to reflect accurately fair value, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.The factors that may be considered when fair valuing a security include 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. Short-term investments, excluding U.S. Treasury Bills, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates value. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. Financial futures and options, which are traded on an exchange, are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day. Options traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean between the bid and the asked price. Investments in swap transactions are valued each business day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Directors. Swaps are valued by the service by using a swap pricing model which incorporates among other factors, default probabilities, recovery rates, credit curves of the underlying issuer and swap spreads on interest rates. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward contracts are valued at the forward rate.
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).
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
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 January 31, 2011 in valuing the fund’s investments:

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. No significant transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements occurred at January 31, 2011. 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 currently evaluat-
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
ing the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.
(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.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions between trade and settlement date, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments resulting from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency gains and losses on investments 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 gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit.The fund is entitled to receive all
42
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 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. During the period ended January 31, 2011, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $5,401 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
The fund may invest in shares of certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by Dreyfus. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended January 31, 2011 were as follows:
| | | | | | | |

(e) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
(f) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended January 31, 2011, 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 July 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $88,766,387 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to July 31, 2010. If not applied, $8,440,328 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2011, $7,653,528 expires in fiscal 2012, $19,091,268 expires in fiscal 2013, $4,661,252 expires in fiscal 2014, $11,616,326 expires in fiscal 2015, $635,541 expires in fiscal 2016, $33,295,069 expires in fiscal 2017 and $3,373,075 expires in fiscal 2018.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010 was as follows: ordinary income $52,269,143. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $225 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In
44
connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended January 31, 2011, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an annual rate of .50% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B shares and .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. During the period ended January 31, 2011, Class B and Class C shares were charged $18,749 and $171,519, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.
(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A, Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of their average daily net assets for the provision of certain services.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services.The Distributor
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended January 31, 2011, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $1,436,523, $9,375 and $57,173, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended January 31, 2011, the fund was charged $216,543 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.
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 compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a cash management agreement for performing cash management services related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended January 31, 2011, the fund was charged $25,631 pursuant to the cash management agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.These fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $1,666.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, options transactions, financial futures, forward contracts and swap transactions, during the period ended January 31, 2011, amounted to $2,215,530,867 and $2,358,469,647, respectively, of which $1,301,053,579 in purchases and $1,303,391,816 in sales were from mortgage dollar roll transactions.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls: A mortgage dollar roll transaction involves a sale by the fund of mortgage related securities that it holds with an agreement by the fund to repurchase similar securities at an agreed upon price and date.The securities purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold.
The provisions of ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives, which are accounted for as “hedges” and those that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Because investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of Operations, they do not qualify for such accounting. Accordingly, even though a
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure.The following tables show the fund’s exposure to different types of market risk as it relates to the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations, respectively.

Futures Contracts: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including interest rate risk as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments.The fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market.A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a 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. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statement of Operations. Futures contracts are valued daily at the last sales price established by the Board of Trade or exchange upon which they are traded. When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
loss.There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with futures since futures are exchange traded, and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the futures against default. Contracts open at January 31, 2011 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
Options: The fund purchases and writes (sells) put and call options to hedge against changes in interest rates, foreign currencies, or as a substitute for an investment.The fund is subject to interest rate risk and currency risk in the course of pursuing its investment objectives through its investments in options contracts. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the writer to sell, the underlying security or securities at the exercise price at any time during the option period, or at a specified date. Conversely, a put option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to sell, and obligates the writer to buy the underlying security or securities at the exercise price at any time during the option period, or at a specified date.
As a writer of call options, the fund receives a premium at the outset and then bears the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instrument underlying the option. Generally, the fund realizes a gain, to the extent of the premium, if the price of the underlying financial instrument decreases between the date the option is written and the date on which the option is terminated. Generally, the fund incurs a loss, if the price of the financial instrument increases between those dates.
As a writer of put options, the fund receives a premium at the outset and then bears the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instrument underlying the option. Generally, the fund realizes a gain, to the extent of the premium, if the price of the underlying financial instrument increases between the date the option is written and the date on which the option is terminated. Generally, the fund incurs a loss, if the price of the financial instrument decreases between those dates.
As a writer of an option, the fund has no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of
50
the security underlying the written option.There is a risk of loss from a change in value of such options which may exceed the related premiums received. One risk of holding a put or a call option is that if the option is not sold or exercised prior to its expiration, it becomes worthless. However, this risk is limited to the premium paid by the fund. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The fund enters into forward contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings, to settle foreign currency transactions or as a part of its investment strategy. When executing forward contracts, the fund is obligated to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future. With respect to sales of forward contracts, the fund incurs a loss if the value of the contract increases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed.The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates.With respect to purchases of forward contracts, the fund incurs a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed.The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates. Any
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
realized gain or loss which occurred during the period is reflected in the Statement of Operations.The fund is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund is also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on these forward contracts, which is typically limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract.The following summarizes open forward contracts at January 31, 2011:

Swaps:The fund enters into swap agreements to exchange the interest rate on, or return generated by, one nominal instrument for the return generated by another nominal instrument.The fund enters into these agreements to hedge certain market or interest rate risks, to manage the interest rate sensitivity (sometimes called duration) of fixed income securities, to provide a substitute for purchasing or selling particular securities or to increase potential returns.
The fund accrues for the interim payments on swap contracts on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Once the interim payments are settled in cash, the net
52
amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) on swaps, in addition to realized gain (loss) recorded upon the termination of swaps contracts in the Statement of Operations. Upfront payments made and/or received by the fund, are recorded as an asset and/or liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain or loss ratably over the contract’s term/event with the exception of forward starting interest rate swaps which are recorded as realized gains or losses on the termination date. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap transactions.
Credit Default Swaps: Credit default swaps involve commitments to pay a fixed interest rate in exchange for payment if a credit event affecting a third party (the referenced company) occurs. Credit events may include a failure to pay interest or principal, bankruptcy, or restructuring. The fund enters into these agreements to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which it is not otherwise exposed. For those credit default swaps in which the fund is paying a fixed rate, the fund is buying credit protection on the instrument. In the event of a credit event, the fund would receive the full notional amount for the reference obligation. For those credit default swaps in which the fund is receiving a fixed rate, the fund is selling credit protection on the underlying instrument.The maximum payouts for these contracts are limited to the notional amount of each swap. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement which may exceed the amount of unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflected in the Statement of
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
Assets and Liabilities. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements are disclosed in the following chart, which summarizes open credit default swaps on corporate issues entered into by the fund.These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Short Term Income Fund, covering the six-month period from August 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011.
The past six months proved to be a volatile time for the financial markets, but most asset classes, including bonds, generally produced positive absolute returns for the reporting period. Investors’ concerns regarding a sovereign debt crisis in Europe and stubbornly high unemployment in the United States later gave way to optimism that massive economic stimulus programs, robust growth in the world’s emerging markets, a strong holiday retail season and rising corporate earnings signaled better economic times ahead. Consequently, returns were particularly strong in higher yielding fixed-income market sectors, including investment-grade and high yield corporate bonds. In contrast, traditionally defensive U.S. government securities weathered pronounced weakness during the fourth quarter, with long-term U.S. Treasury bonds posting modest declines, on average.
As the first quarter of 2011 unfolds, we are aware that short-term interest rates may rise from historically low levels if growth accelerates, while any new economic setbacks could spark heightened market volatility among corporate and mortgage-backed securities. Nonetheless, we continue to see value in the bond market, and a well-diversified bond portfolio can help temper volatility stemming from unexpected economic or market developments. Of course, your financial advisor may be in the best position to help you seize the opportunities and confront the challenges produced by the financial markets in the months ahead.
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 August 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011, as provided by David Bowser, CFA, and Peter Vaream, Portfolio Managers
Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended January 31, 2011, Dreyfus ShortTerm Income Fund’s Class B shares produced a total return of 1.11%, Class D shares produced a total return of 1.36% and Class P shares produced a total return of 1.35%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year Corporate/Government Index (the “Index”), achieved a total return of 0.73% for the same period.2
The reporting period generally proved to be a favorable time for higher yielding sectors of the bond market, but U.S. government securities declined as the economy continued to emerge from recession.The fund produced higher returns than its benchmark, primarily due to its emphasis on market sectors that fared well in a recovering economy.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks to maximize total returns consisting of capital appreciation and current income.To pursue its goal, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in fixed-income securities of U.S. or foreign issuers rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. This may include U.S. government bonds and notes, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, convertible securities, preferred stocks, inflation-indexed securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities (including CMOs) and foreign bonds. For additional yield, the fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (“high yield” or “junk” bonds). Typically, the fund’s portfolio can be expected to have an average effective maturity and an average effective duration of three years or less.
Stimulative Policies Fueled Rallying Credit Markets
Although the reporting period began in the midst of recovery from a global recession, recent macroeconomic developments threatened to derail an already choppy rebound. High unemployment and troubled housing markets weighed on U.S. economic growth, and Europe
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
was roiled by a sovereign debt crisis. As a result, investors at the start of the reporting period favored high-quality investments, such as U.S. government securities.
In response to the sluggish economy, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) maintained its target for the federal funds rate in a range between 0% and 0.25%, and it announced a new round of quantitative easing of monetary policy for the fall.The Fed’s announcement helped trigger a resurgence among high yield and investment-grade corporate-backed bonds. Meanwhile, it became clearer that earlier concerns regarding a potential double-dip recession were overblown, helping to support additional gains among corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. As investors grew more tolerant of credit risks, they shifted their attention away from traditional safe havens, and U.S. government securities gave back many of the gains achieved earlier in the year.
Constructive Posture Bolstered Relative Performance
By the start of the reporting period, we had boosted the fund’s holdings of U.S.Treasury securities, and we focused more intently on intermediate-term bonds.These strategies proved relatively effective during the “flight to quality” that prevailed over much of the summer of 2010.
As evidence mounted that the economic recovery would continue, we returned to a more constructive investment posture. We reduced the fund’s holdings of U.S. government securities and increased its positions in investment-grade corporate bonds and, to a lesser extent, high yield securities. Short-term high yield bonds from the energy, media, cable and paper-and-packaging industry groups fared particularly well, while investment-grade bonds issued by financial companies rebounded strongly from previously depressed levels. We also maintained a significant position in commercial mortgage-backed securities, which produced competitive levels of income and gained value in the recovering economy.
The fund’s interest rate strategies detracted mildly from the fund’s relative performance during the reporting period, as a slightly longer-than-average duration increased its sensitivity to market volatility. In addition, our focus on bonds with maturities in the five-year maturity range prevented the fund from participating more fully in better performance in the
4
two-year range.We employed Treasury futures and interest-rate options to help establish the fund’s duration and yield curve positions.
Finding Opportunities in a More Mature Recovery
While economic headwinds have lingered, we expect the U.S. economic recovery to persist as 2011 unfolds. Inflation has remained negligible, and we see little reason for the Fed to raise short-term interest rates anytime soon. Consequently, the appetite among domestic and overseas investors for competitive yields and higher levels of credit risk should remain robust.
However, in the wake of strong performance in many sectors of the U.S. bond market, we believe that fixed-income returns are likely to moderate over the months ahead. Indeed, selectivity within market sectors may be the key to generating above-average returns. In our judgment, our research-intensive investment process makes the fund particularly well suited to uncover potential opportunities in a more selective investment climate.

| 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. |
| The fund may use derivative instruments, such as options, futures and options on futures, forward |
| contracts, swaps (including credit default swaps on corporate bonds and asset-backed securities), |
| options on swaps and other credit derivatives.A small investment in derivatives could have a |
| potentially large impact on the fund’s performance.The use of derivatives involves risks different |
| from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets. |
1 | Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into |
| consideration the applicable contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of |
| Class B shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance |
| is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon |
| redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. |
2 | SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital |
| gain distributions.The BofA Merrill Lynch 1-5Year Corporate/Government Index is a market |
| value-weighted index that tracks the performance of publicly placed, non-convertible, fixed-rate, |
| coupon-bearing, investment-grade U.S. domestic debt. Maturities of the securities range from one to |
| five years. Investors cannot invest directly in any index. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus ShortTerm Income Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Investment Grade 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 seeks to maximize total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.
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 700 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock.The fund currently offers three classes of shares: Class B (100 million shares authorized), Class D (500 million shares authorized) and Class P (100 million shares authorized). 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 D shares after six years.The fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares. Class D and Class P shares are sold at net asset value per share only to institutional investors. Class D shares purchased at net asset value (an investment of $250,000 or more) will have a CDSC imposed on redemptions made within eighteen months of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company 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, excluding short-term investments (other than U.S.Treasury Bills), financial futures and options transactions are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the 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 valued as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions. Restricted securities,
30
as well as securities or other assets for which recent market quotations are not readily available and are not valued by a pricing service approved by the Board of Directors, or are determined by the fund not to reflect accurately fair value, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.The factors that may be considered when fair valuing a security include 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. Short-term investments, excluding U.S. Treasury Bills, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates value. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. Financial futures and options, which are traded on an exchange, are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day. Options traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean between the bid and asked price.
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.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of January 31, 2011 in valuing the fund’s investments:

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. No significant transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements occurred at January 31, 2011. 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 currently 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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement withThe Bank of NewYork Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit.The fund is 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 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. During the period ended January 31, 2011,The Bank of New York Mellon earned $819 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
The fund may invest in shares of certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by Dreyfus. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended January 31, 2011 were as follows:

(d) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended January 31, 2011, 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 July 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $89,404,323 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to July 31, 2010. If not applied, $21,420,716 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2011, $7,815,155 expires in fiscal 2012, $29,412,542 expires in fiscal 2013, $8,634,655 expires in fiscal 2014, $7,342,005 expires in fiscal 2015, $4,178,299 expires in fiscal 2016, $5,740,844 expires in fiscal 2017 and $4,860,107 expires in fiscal 2018.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $225 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended January 31, 2011, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B shares pay the Distributor for distributing its shares at an annual rate of .50% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B shares. During the period ended January 31, 2011, Class B shares were charged $4,668, pursuant to the Plan.
(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class B, Class D and Class P shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class P shares and .20% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class D shares for the provision
36
of certain services.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding Class B, Class D and Class P shares 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 ended January 31, 2011, Class B, Class D and Class P shares were charged, $2,334, $258,167 and $1,791, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended January 31, 2011, the fund was charged $57,727 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.

During the period ended January 31, 2011, the fund was charged $8,024 pursuant to the cash management agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.These fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $522.
The fund also compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. During the period ended January 31, 2011, the fund was charged $11,832 pursuant to the custody agreement.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, financial futures and options transactions, during the period ended January 31, 2011, amounted to $177,404,104 and $181,860,591, respectively.
The provisions of ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives, which are accounted for as “hedges” and those that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Because investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of Operations, they do not qualify for such accounting. Accordingly, even though a fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure.
Futures Contracts: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including interest rate risk as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments.The fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market.A futures contract represents
38
a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a 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. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statement of Operations. Futures contracts are valued daily at the last sales price established by the Board of Trade or exchange upon which they are traded. When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with futures since futures are exchange traded, and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the futures against default. Contracts open at January 31, 2011are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
Options: The fund purchases and writes (sells) put and call options to hedge against changes in interest rates, or as a substitute for an invest-ment.The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the course of pursuing its investment objectives through its investments in options contracts.A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the writer to sell, the underlying security or securities at the exercise price at any time during the option period, or at a specified date. Conversely, a put option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to sell, and obligates the writer to buy the underlying security or securities at the exercise price at any time during the option period, or at a specified date.
As a writer of call options, the fund receives a premium at the outset and then bears the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instrument underlying the option. Generally, the fund realizes a gain, to the extent of the premium, if the price of the underlying financial instrument decreases between the date the option is written and the date on which the option is terminated. Generally, the fund incurs a loss, if the price of the financial instrument increases between those dates.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
As a writer of put options, the fund receives a premium at the outset and then bears the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instrument underlying the option. Generally, the fund realizes a gain, to the extent of the premium, if the price of the underlying financial instrument increases between the date the option is written and the date on which the option is terminated. Generally, the fund incurs a loss, if the price of the financial instrument decreases between those dates.
As a writer of an option, the fund has no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.There is a risk of loss from a change in value of such options which may exceed the related premiums received. One risk of holding a put or a call option is that if the option is not sold or exercised prior to its expiration, it becomes worthless. However, this risk is limited to the premium paid by the fund. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.
The following summarizes the fund’s call/put options written during the period ended January 31, 2011:
