LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Connecticut Series, covering the six-month period from May 1, 2006, through October 31, 2006.

Although reports of slower U.S. economic growth and declining housing prices recently have raised economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely.A stubbornly low unemployment rate suggests that labor market conditions remain strong,and stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide.These and other factors should continue to support further economic expansion, but at a slower rate than we saw earlier this year.

The U.S. bond market also appears to be expecting a slower economy, as evidenced by an “inverted yield curve” at the end of October, in which yields of two-year U.S.Treasury securities were lower than the overnight federal funds rate.This anomaly may indicate that short-term interest rates have peaked, and that investors expect the Federal Reserve Board’s next move to be toward lower short-term interest rates. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, 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

James Welch, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Connecticut Series perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 3.61% for Class A shares, 3.34% for Class B shares and 3.22% for Class C shares.1 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.12% for the same period.2 In addition, the fund is reported in the Lipper Connecticut Municipal Debt Funds category, and the average total return for all funds reported in this category was 3.68% for the reporting period.3

Despite heightened market volatility early in the reporting period, municipal bonds rallied over the summer and early fall as signs of an economic slowdown eased investors’ inflation concerns and the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) paused in its tightening campaign. The fund’s return was roughly in line with its Lipper category average but lagged the benchmark, primarily due to fund fees and expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s performance.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax and Connecticut state income tax without undue risk.To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax and from Connecticut state income tax.The fund invests at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Under normal market conditions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio is expected to exceed 10 years.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may assess the current interest-rate environment and a municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments.We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices.A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation either to discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environments.We may also look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

Robust economic growth and mounting inflationary pressures sparked renewed inflation-related concerns, and hawkish comments from some Fed members led investors to revise upward their expectations for short-term interest rates in the opening weeks of the reporting period. As a result, the municipal bond market experienced a bout of heightened volatility. Market conditions subsequently improved, however, when a softening housing market, declining fuel prices and moderating employment gains convinced investors that inflation was likely to subside. The Fed appeared to confirm this view when it held short-term interest rates steady at its meetings in August, September and October, its first pauses in more than two years. Municipal bonds rallied as investors first anticipated and then reacted to the change in Fed policy, causing yield differences between shorter- and longer-term securities to narrow toward historically low levels.

In addition, municipal bond prices were supported by supply-and-demand influences. Like many other states, Connecticut has taken in more tax revenue than originally projected, enhancing its fiscal condition and reducing its need to borrow.Yet, even as the supply of newly

4

issued municipal bonds fell compared to the same period one year ago, investor demand remained robust from individuals and institutions seeking competitive levels of tax-exempt income.

The fund benefited during the summertime rally from strong performance from noncallable securities, zero-coupon bonds and holdings with maturities toward the upper end of the market’s maturity range. However, the fund also maintained a relatively high-quality credit profile, which prevented it from participating fully in strength among lower-rated credits.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Recent economic data have continued to indicate that U.S. economic growth is moderating with relatively little risk of recession, and the Fed currently seems unlikely either to raise or lower short-term interest rates over the foreseeable future.Therefore, we recently lengthened the fund’s average duration toward a range that is slightly longer than that of the Index. In addition, because lower-rated credits appear to be fully valued, we have maintained the fund’s high-quality credit profile. In our view, these are prudent strategies in today’s changing market environment.

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. Each share class is subject 
    to a different sales charge and distribution expense structure and will achieve different returns. Past 
    performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate 
    such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income 
    may be subject to state and local taxes for non-Connecticut residents, and some income may be 
    subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, 
    are fully taxable.

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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Connecticut Series from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2006     
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.57    $ 7.23    $ 8.45 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,036.10    $1,033.40    $1,032.20 

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2006

    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.53    $ 7.17    $ 8.39 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,020.72    $1,018.10    $1,016.89 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .89% for Class A, 1.41% for Class B, and 1.65% for Class C; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company, and operates as a series company that offers eleven series including the Connecticut Series (the “fund”). The Trust’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal and, where applicable, state income taxes, without undue risk.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.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. 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. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Trust 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 fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use

24

of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(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. Interest

The Fund 25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. 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, 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.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in

26

the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $2,480,620 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to April 30, 2006. If not applied, $560,785 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2009 and $1,919,835 expires in fiscal 2012.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 was as follows: tax exempt income $12,938,537. 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 borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .55% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

The Fund 27


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $5,386 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $25,795 and $124 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(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 October 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $57,463 and $42,928, 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 determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $325,977, $28,731 and $14,310, 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 October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $45,989 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $2,044 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $136,515, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $16,507, shareholder ser-

28

vices plan fees $62,053, chief compliance officer fees $1,363 and transfer agency per account fees $14,376.

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

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended October 31, 2006, amounted to $77,250,812 and $83,367,347, respectively.

At October 31, 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).

NOTE 5—Subsequent Event

On November 15, 2006, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved, subject to shareholder approval on or about March 1, 2007 of Dreyfus Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to merge Dreyfus Connecticut Intermediate Bond Fund into the fund as part of a tax-free reorganization. The merger currently is anticipated to occur on or about March 15, 2007. On the date of the merger, Dreyfus Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund will exchange all of its assets at net asset value, subject to liabilities, for Class Z shares of the fund.Those shares then will be distributed pro rata to shareholders of Dreyfus Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund so that each shareholder receives a number of Class Z shares of the fund equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shareholder’s Dreyfus Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund shares.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the Trust’s Management Agreement with respect to the fund, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of 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 distribution channels for the fund as well as the diversity of distribution among the 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 distribution channel, including those of the fund. The Board 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, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail front-end load, Connecticut municipal debt funds (the “Performance

30

Group”) and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional Connecticut municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.The Board noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe, as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons. The Board noted that the fund’s yield performance for the past ten one-year periods ended June 30, 2006 (1997 - 2006) was higher than the Performance Group and the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period.The Board members then reviewed the fund’s total return performance for various periods ended June 30, 2006, and noted that the fund’s total return performance was higher than the Performance Group medians for the one-, two-, three- and four-year periods, and lower for the five- and ten-year periods, and equal to or higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), each selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fee and total expense ratio were higher than the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians.

The Board members noted that there were no other mutual funds, and no institutional or wrap fee separate accounts, managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, as the fund.

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 profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, includ-

The Fund 31


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

ing the decline in fund assets from the prior year, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect 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 bear 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 percentages determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board 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 performance.

32

• The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, 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 management 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 determined 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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Florida Series, covering the six-month period from May 1, 2006, through October 31, 2006.

Although reports of slower U.S. economic growth and declining housing prices recently have raised economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely.A stubbornly low unemployment rate suggests that labor market conditions remain strong,and stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide.These and other factors should continue to support further economic expansion, but at a slower rate than we saw earlier this year.

The U.S. bond market also appears to be expecting a slower economy, as evidenced by an “inverted yield curve” at the end of October, in which yields of two-year U.S.Treasury securities were lower than the overnight federal funds rate.This anomaly may indicate that short-term interest rates have peaked, and that investors expect the Federal Reserve Board’s next move to be toward lower short-term interest rates. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, 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

Douglas Gaylor, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Florida Series perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 4.00% for Class A shares, 3.67% for Class B shares and 3.61% for Class C shares.1The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.12% for the same period.2 In addition, the fund is reported in the Lipper Florida Municipal Debt Funds category, and the average total return for all funds reported in this category was 3.53% for the reporting period.3

Despite heightened market volatility early in the reporting period, stabilizing interest rates and robust investor demand generally supported higher municipal bond prices.The fund produced higher returns than its Lipper category average, primarily due to its emphasis on longer-term bonds.The fund’s Class A shares produced returns that were roughly in line with its benchmark, which contains bonds from many states, not just Florida, and does not reflect fund fees and expenses.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax without undue risk.To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax.The fund invests at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Under normal market conditions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio is expected to exceed 10 years.

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may

The Fund 3


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

assess the current interest-rate environment and a municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments. We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices. A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation either to discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We may also look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

The municipal bond market encountered weakness at the start of the reporting period, when hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) members rekindled investors’ inflation concerns. However, the market subsequently rallied, more than offsetting previous losses, as investors’ inflation concerns waned amid evidence of slower economic growth. The Fed lent credence to the view that inflationary pressures were likely to subside when it refrained from raising interest rates at its August, September and October meetings, the first pauses after more than two years of steady rate hikes.

Like many other states, Florida’s fiscal condition benefited from the strong economy. Although the supply of newly issued Florida bonds remained ample, other states had less need to borrow, causing the national supply of newly issued bonds to decline compared to the same period one year earlier. Yet, investor demand remained robust from investors seeking competitive levels of federally tax-exempt income, lending further support to bond prices.

We maintained the fund’s income stream even as longer-term bond yields fell by selling shorter-term securities with lower book yields and replacing them with longer-term securities that, in our judgment, offered better income characteristics. In doing so, we lengthened the fund’s average duration from a relatively short position to one that

was in line with industry averages, enabling the fund to participate more fully in the market rally. In addition, the fund benefited from its core holdings of seasoned bonds, which were acquired when yields were higher than current levels. Finally, because yield differences between lower-quality and higher-quality bonds had narrowed toward historically low levels, we generally maintained our focus on securities with higher credit ratings or third-party insurance.4 However, we occasionally found opportunities to invest in income-oriented municipal bonds that we believed were either underrated or were poised for an improvement in credit quality.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Cooling housing markets, less robust employment gains and subdued inflation data currently indicate to us that the Fed is unlikely to raise interest rates in the foreseeable future. At the same time, demand for municipal bonds has remained robust from traditional and new market participants. Therefore, we may look for opportunities to increase the fund’s relatively long average duration in anticipation of lower long-term bond yields.

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. Each share class is subject 
    to a different sales charge and distribution expense structure and will achieve different returns. Past 
    performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such 
    that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income may 
    be subject to state and local taxes for non-Florida residents, and some income may be subject to the 
    federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Florida Series from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2006     
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.88    $ 7.65    $ 8.72 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,040.00    $1,036.70    $1,036.10 

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.84    $ 7.58    $ 8.64 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,020.42    $1,017.69    $1,016.64 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .95% for Class A, 1.49% for Class B and 1.70% for Class C; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company, and operates as a series company that offers eleven series, including the Florida Series (the “fund”).The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal and, where applicable, state income taxes, without undue risk. 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.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. 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. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Trust 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 Fund 21


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the

22

application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(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. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. 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, 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.

The Fund 23


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $626,291 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to April 30, 2006. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2010.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 was as follows: tax exempt income $3,784,683. 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.

24

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 October 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .55% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $1,084 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $14,831 and $2 from contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(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 October 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $17,161 and $15,431, 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 the 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 determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the

The Fund 25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

period ended October 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $100,018, $8,580 and $5,144, 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 October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $15,595 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $2,044 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to the Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates consist of: management fees $41,585, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $5,321, shareholder services plan fees $18,903, chief compliance officer fees $1,363 and transfer agency per account fees $5,070.

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

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended October 31, 2006, amounted to $5,885,159 and $12,132,423, respectively.

At October 31, 2006, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $3,789,728, consisting of $3,792,843 gross unrealized appreciation and $3,115 gross unrealized depreciation.

At October 31, 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 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the Trust’s Management Agreement with respect to the fund, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of 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 distribution channels for the fund, as well as the diversity of distribution among the 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 distribution channel, including those of the fund.The Board 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, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail

The Fund 27


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

front-end load, Florida municipal debt funds (the “Performance Group”) and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional Florida municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.The Board noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe, as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons. The Board noted that the fund’s yield performance for the past ten one-year periods (1997-2006) was lower than the Performance Group medians for each reported time period, and equal to or higher than the Performance Universe medians for four of the ten reported time periods.The Board members then reviewed the fund’s total return performance for various periods ended June 30, 2006, and noted that the fund’s performance was higher than the Performance Group medians for the three-, four-and five-year periods, and lower for the other reported time periods, and that the fund’s performance was higher than the Performance Universe medians for the one-, three-, four- and five-year periods and lower for the other reported time periods. Dreyfus also provided the Board members with the fund’s yield and total return performance and the quartile, percentile and rank of the fund’s yield and total return performance within its Lipper category (as provided by Lipper) for certain other periods ended June 30, 2006. The Board noted that the fund’s income and total return was in Lipper’s second quartile (the first quartile being the best performance) for the three-month and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2006.The Board members discussed with representatives of the Manager the reasons for the fund’s underperfor-mance compared to the Lipper medians during the applicable periods and the Manager’s efforts to improve performance.The Board members also received a presentation from the fund’s primary portfolio manager during which he discussed the fund’s investment strategy and the factors that affected the fund’s performance.

Dreyfus also provided the Board with the fund’s yield and total return performance and the quartile, percentage and rank of the fund’s income and total return within its Lipper category (as provided by Lipper) for various other periods ended June 30, 2006. The Board noted that the fund’s income and total return was in Lipper’s second quartile (the first quartile being the best performance) for the three-month and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2006.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), each selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fee was equal to or higher than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians. The Board noted that the fund’s total expense ratio was higher than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.

The Board members noted that there were no other mutual funds, and no institutional or wrap fee separate accounts, managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, as the fund.

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 profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the decline in fund assets from the prior year, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the

Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect 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 bear 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 determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board 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 Manager’s efforts to improve the fund’s performance as discussed at the meeting, but concluded that it was necessary to continue to monitor the performance of the fund and its portfolio management team.

• The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, 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.

30

• The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the management 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 determined 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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Massachusetts Series, covering the six-month period from May 1, 2006, through October 31, 2006.

Although reports of slower U.S. economic growth and declining housing prices recently have raised economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely.A stubbornly low unemployment rate suggests that labor market conditions remain strong,and stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide.These and other factors should continue to support further economic expansion, but at a slower rate than we saw earlier this year.

The U.S. bond market also appears to be expecting a slower economy, as evidenced by an “inverted yield curve” at the end of October, in which yields of two-year U.S.Treasury securities were lower than the overnight federal funds rate.This anomaly may indicate that short-term interest rates have peaked, and that investors expect the Federal Reserve Board’s next move to be toward lower short-term interest rates. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, 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

James Welch, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Massachusetts Series perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 3.88% for Class A shares, 3.62% for Class B shares, 3.58% for Class C shares and 4.07% for Class Z shares.1 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.12% for the same period.2 In addition, the fund is reported in the Lipper Massachusetts Municipal Debt Funds category, and the average total return for all funds reported in this category was 3.66% for the reporting period.3

Despite heightened market volatility early in the reporting period, municipal bonds rallied over the summer and early fall as signs of an economic slowdown eased investors’ inflation concerns and the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) paused in its tightening campaign. The fund’s Class A and Class Z shares produced higher returns than its Lipper category average primarily due to its focus on longer-maturity bonds, but the fund lagged its benchmark, which does not reflect fund fees and expenses.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax and Massachusetts state income tax without undue risk. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax and from Massachusetts state income tax.The fund invests at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Under normal market conditions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio is expected to exceed 10 years.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may assess the current interest-rate environment and a municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments.We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices.A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation either to discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environments.We may also look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

Robust economic growth and mounting inflationary pressures sparked renewed inflation-related concerns, and hawkish comments from some Fed members led investors to revise upward their expectations for short-term interest rates in the opening weeks of the reporting period. As a result, the municipal bond market experienced a bout of heightened volatility. Market conditions subsequently improved, however, when a softening housing market, declining fuel prices and moderating employment gains convinced investors that inflation was likely to sub-side.The Fed appeared to confirm this view when it held short-term interest rates steady at its meetings in August, September and October, its first pauses in more than two years. Municipal bonds rallied as investors first anticipated and then reacted to the change in Fed policy, causing yield differences between shorter- and longer-term securities to narrow toward historically low levels.

In addition, municipal bond prices were supported by supply-and-demand influences. Like many other states, Massachusetts has taken in more tax revenue than originally projected, enhancing its fiscal condition and reducing its need to borrow.Yet, even as the supply of newly issued

4

municipal bonds fell compared to the same period one year ago, investor demand remained robust from individuals and institutions seeking competitive levels of tax-exempt income.

The fund benefited during the summertime rally from strong performance from noncallable securities, zero-coupon bonds and holdings with maturities toward the upper end of the market’s maturity range. However, the fund also maintained a relatively high-quality credit profile, which prevented it from participating fully in strength among lower-rated credits.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Recent economic data have continued to indicate that U.S. economic growth is moderating with relatively little risk of recession, and the Fed currently seems unlikely either to raise or lower short-term interest rates over the foreseeable future.Therefore, we recently lengthened the fund’s average duration toward a range that is slightly longer than that of the Index. In addition, because lower-rated credits appear to be fully valued, we have maintained the fund’s high-quality credit profile. In our view, these are prudent strategies in today’s changing market environment.

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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Massachusetts Series from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment             
assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2006         
    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class Z 





Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.73    $ 7.39    $ 8.52    $ 3.75 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,038.80    $1,036.20    $1,035.80    $1,040.70 

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment             
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C    Class Z 





Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.69    $ 7.32    $ 8.44    $ 3.72 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,020.57    $1,017.95    $1,016.84    $1,021.53 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .92% for Class A, 1.44% for Class B, 1.66% for Class C and .73% for Class Z; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company, and operates as a series company that offers eleven series including the Massachusetts Series (the “fund”).The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal and, where applicable, state income taxes, without undue risk.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.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z. 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. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value per share generally only to shareholders who received Class Z shares in exchange for their shares of Dreyfus Massachusetts Tax Exempt Bond Fund as a result of the reorganization of such fund. Class Z shares generally are not available for new accounts. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class 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.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Fund 25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The Trust 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 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.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required

26

for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(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. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. 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.

The Fund 27


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, were as follows: tax exempt income $8,167,575, ordinary income $227,981 and long-term capital gains $172,713.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 borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

28

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .55% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $592 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $10,655 and $2 from contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(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 October 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $12,295 and $15,668, 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 the average daily net assets of their shares 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 determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $63,891, $6,147, and $5,223 respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class Z shares reimburse the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the value of Class Z shares’ average daily net assets for certain allocated

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

expenses of providing personal services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholders accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding Class Z shares and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended October 31, 2006, Class Z shares were charged $48,555 pursuant to the Shareholders 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 October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $32,122 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $2,044 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $91,379 Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $4,483, shareholders services plan fees $23,374, chief compliance officer fees $1,363 and transfer agency per account fees $10,500.

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

(e) A .10% redemption fee is charged and retained by the fund on certain Class Z shares redeemed within thirty days of their issuance.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended October 31, 2006, amounted to $21,487,766 and $31,447,292, respectively.

30

At October 31, 2006, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost of financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

NOTE 5—Subsequent Event

On November 15, 2006, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved, subject to shareholder approval on or about March 1, 2007 of Dreyfus Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to merge Dreyfus Massachusetts Intermediate Bond Fund into the fund as part of a tax-free reorganization. The merger currently is anticipated to occur on or about March 15, 2007. On the date of the merger, Dreyfus Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund will exchange all of its assets at net asset value, subject to liabilities, for Class Z shares of the fund.Those shares then will be distributed pro rata to shareholders of Dreyfus Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund so that each shareholder receives a number of Class Z shares of the fund equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shareholder's Dreyfus Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund shares.

The Fund 31


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the Trust’s Management Agreement with respect to the fund, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services.The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of 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 distribution channels for the fund as well as the diversity of distribution among the 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 distribution channel, including those of the fund. The Board 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, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail

32

front-end load, Massachusetts municipal debt funds (the “Performance Group”) and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional Massachusetts municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.The Board noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe, as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons. The Board noted that the fund’s yield performance for the past ten one-year periods ended June 30, 2006 (1997 - 2006) was lower, in varying amounts, than the Performance Group medians for each reported time period except the one-year periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1999, when it was higher, and that the fund’s yield performance was higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period. The Board members then reviewed the fund’s total return performance for various periods ended June 30, 2006, and noted that the fund’s performance was equal to or higher than the Performance Group medians for the two-, three-, four-, five- and ten-year periods, and lower for the one-year period, and equal to or higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period except the one- and two-year periods, when it was lower. Dreyfus also provided the Board with the fund’s yield and total return performance and the quartile, percentage and rank of the fund’s yield and total return within its Lipper category (as provided by Lipper) for the three-month and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2006. The Board noted that the fund’s yield performance was in Lipper’s first and second quartile (the first quartile being the best performance), respectively, for those periods, and that the fund’s total return was in Lipper’s third quartile for each of those periods.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), each

selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fee and total expense ratio were higher than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.

The Board members noted that there were no other mutual funds, and no institutional or wrap fee separate accounts, managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, as the fund.

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 profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the decline in fund assets from the prior year, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect 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 bear 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 determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment com-

34

panies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board 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 generally 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 the services provided, 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 management 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 determined 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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Maryland Series, covering the six-month period from May 1, 2006, through October 31, 2006.

Although reports of slower U.S. economic growth and declining housing prices recently have raised economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely.A stubbornly low unemployment rate suggests that labor market conditions remain strong,and stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide.These and other factors should continue to support further economic expansion, but at a slower rate than we saw earlier this year.

The U.S. bond market also appears to be expecting a slower economy, as evidenced by an “inverted yield curve” at the end of October, in which yields of two-year U.S.Treasury securities were lower than the overnight federal funds rate.This anomaly may indicate that short-term interest rates have peaked, and that investors expect the Federal Reserve Board’s next move to be toward lower short-term interest rates. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, 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

Douglas Gaylor, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Maryland Series perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 3.51% for Class A shares, 3.25% for Class B shares and 3.20% for Class C shares.1 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.12% for the same period.2 In addition, the fund is reported in the Lipper Maryland Municipal Debt Funds category, and the average total return for all funds reported in this category was 3.50% for the reporting period.3

Despite heightened market volatility early in the reporting period, an economic slowdown, stabilizing interest rates and robust investor demand generally supported higher municipal bond prices. The fund’s Class A shares return was in line with its Lipper category average, primarily due to the fund’s emphasis on longer-term bonds. However, the fund lagged its benchmark, which contains bonds from many states, not just Maryland, and does not reflect fund fees and expenses.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax and Maryland state income tax without undue risk. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax and Maryland income tax. The fund invests at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Under normal market conditions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio is expected to exceed 10 years.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may assess the current interest-rate environment and a municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments. We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices. A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation either to discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We may also look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

The municipal bond market encountered weakness at the start of the reporting period, when hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) members rekindled investors’ inflation concerns. However, the market subsequently rallied, more than offsetting previous losses, as investors’ inflation concerns waned amid evidence of slower economic growth. The Fed lent credence to the view that inflationary pressures were likely to subside when it refrained from raising interest rates at its August, September and October meetings, the first pauses after more than two years of steady rate hikes.

Like many other states, Maryland’s fiscal condition benefited from the strong economy.The state received more tax revenue than originally projected, enabling it to achieve a budget surplus and reducing its need to borrow. Consequently, the supply of newly issued Maryland municipal bonds declined compared to the same period one year earlier. Yet, investor demand remained robust from investors seeking competitive levels of federally tax-exempt income, lending further support to bond prices.

We maintained the fund’s income stream even as longer-term bond yields fell by selling shorter-term securities with lower book yields and replacing them with longer-term securities that, in our judgment, offered

4

better income characteristics. In doing so, we lengthened the fund’s average duration toward a position that was slightly longer than industry averages, enabling the fund to participate more fully in the market rally. In addition, the fund benefited from its core holdings of seasoned bonds, which were acquired when yields were higher than today.Finally,because yield differences between lower-quality and higher-quality bonds had narrowed toward historically low levels, we generally maintained our focus on securities with higher credit ratings or third-party insurance.4 However, we occasionally found opportunities to invest in income-oriented municipal bonds that we believed were either underrated or were poised for an improvement in credit quality.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Cooling housing markets, less robust employment gains and subdued inflation data currently indicate to us that the Fed is unlikely to raise interest rates in the foreseeable future. At the same time, demand for municipal bonds has remained robust from traditional and new market participants.Therefore, we intend to maintain the fund’s relatively long average duration in anticipation of lower long-term bond yields.

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 
    guarantee of future results. Each share class is subject to a different sales charge and distribution 
    expense structure and will achieve different returns. Share price, yield and investment return 
    fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original 
    cost. Income may be subject to state and local taxes for non-Maryland residents, and some income 
    may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, 
    if any, are taxable.

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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Maryland Series from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2006     
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.57    $ 7.12    $ 8.45 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,035.10    $1,032.50    $1,032.00 

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.53    $ 7.07    $ 8.39 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,020.72    $1,018.20    $1,016.89 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .89% for Class A, 1.39% for Class B and 1.65% for Class C, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company and operates as a series company that offers eleven series including the Maryland Series (the “fund”).The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal and, where applicable, state income taxes, without undue risk. 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.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. 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. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Trust 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.

24

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.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The Fund 25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

(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. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. 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, 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.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

26

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $9,735,982 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to April 30, 2006. If not applied, $980,446 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2011, $1,838,009 expires in fiscal 2012 and $6,917,527 expires in fiscal 2013.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 were as follows: tax exempt income $8,958,014 and ordinary income $66,725.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 borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .55% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $3,624 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $21,534 and $114 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(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 October 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $69,807 and $17,413, 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 determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $240,190, $34,903 and $5,805, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

28

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 October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $37,859 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $2,044 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $102,610, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $14,005, shareholder services plan fees $46,641, chief compliance officer fees $1,363 and transfer agency per account fees $11,470.

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

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended October 31, 2006, amounted to $5,716,510 and $15,250,383, respectively.

At October 31, 2006, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $8,259,857, consisting of $9,457,866 gross unrealized appreciation and $1,198,009 gross unrealized depreciation.

At October 31, 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 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the Trust’s Management Agreement with respect to the fund, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of 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 distribution channels for the fund as well as the diversity of distribution among the 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 distribution channel, including those of the fund. The Board 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 Funds Performance, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail front-end load, Maryland municipal debt funds (the “Performance

30

Group”) and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional Maryland municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.The Board noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe, as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons. The Board noted that the fund’s yield performance for the past ten one-year periods ended June 30, 2006 (1997 - 2006) was equal to or higher than the Performance Group medians for each reported time period, except the one-year period ended June 30, 2005, when it was slightly lower than the median. The Board noted that the fund’s yield performance was higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period.The Board members then reviewed the fund’s total return performance for various periods ended June 30, 2006 and noted that the fund’s performance was higher than the Performance Group medians for the three-, four- and five-year periods, and lower for the one-, two-and ten-year periods, and higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), each selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fee was higher than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.The Board noted that the fund’s total expense ratio was equal to the Expense Group median and higher than the Expense Universe median.

The Board members noted that there were no other mutual funds, and no institutional or wrap fee separate accounts, managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, as the fund.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

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 profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the decline in fund assets from the prior year, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect 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 bear 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 determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management

32

Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board 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 performance.

• The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, 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 management 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 determined 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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Michigan Series, covering the six-month period from May 1, 2006, through October 31, 2006.

Although reports of slower U.S. economic growth and declining housing prices recently have raised economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely.A stubbornly low unemployment rate suggests that labor market conditions remain strong,and stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide.These and other factors should continue to support further economic expansion, but at a slower rate than we saw earlier this year.

The U.S. bond market also appears to be expecting a slower economy, as evidenced by an “inverted yield curve” at the end of October, in which yields of two-year U.S.Treasury securities were lower than the overnight federal funds rate.This anomaly may indicate that short-term interest rates have peaked, and that investors expect the Federal Reserve Board’s next move to be toward lower short-term interest rates. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, 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

W. Michael Petty, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Michigan Series perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 4.22% for Class A shares, 3.94% for Class B shares and 3.84% for Class C shares.1 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.12% for the same period.2 In addition, the fund is reported in the Lipper Michigan Municipal Debt Funds category, and the average total return for all funds reported in this category was 3.51% for the reporting period.3

Municipal bonds rallied over most of the reporting period as the rate of U.S. economic growth began to moderate and the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) refrained from raising short-term interest rates.The fund’s Class A shares produced a higher return than its benchmark, primarily due to our emphasis on securities toward the longer end of the market’s maturity range. In addition, the fund’s returns outperformed the Lipper category average.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax and Michigan state income tax without undue risk. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax and from Michigan state income tax.The fund invests at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Under normal market conditions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio is expected to exceed 10 years.

The Fund 3


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may assess the current interest-rate environment and a municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments. We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices. A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation either to discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We may also look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

Although the reporting period began with a bout of heightened market volatility amid temporary inflation and interest-rate concerns, the municipal bond market generally rallied over the summer and early fall as energy prices declined and U.S. housing markets softened, indicating that the U.S. economic expansion had begun to slow.The Fed lent credence to a less robust economic outlook when, after more than two years of steady rate hikes, it held short-term interest rates unchanged at 5.25% at its meetings in August, September and October.As a result, longer-term municipal bond yields declined while short-term yields remained relatively steady, causing yield differences along the market’s maturity range to narrow.

Municipal bond prices also were supported by favorable supply-and-demand factors over the reporting period. Like most states and despite ongoing turmoil in the automotive industry, Michigan received more tax revenue than originally projected, reducing its need to borrow. Consequently, the supply of new municipal bonds from Michigan issuers fell compared to the same period one year earlier.Yet, demand remained robust from both individual and institutional investors seeking competitive levels of tax-free income.

4

The fund benefited from these trends by emphasizing longer-term maturities and maintaining an average duration that was modestly longer than industry averages. This positioning enabled the fund to participate more fully in strength at the longer end of the market’s maturity spectrum. In addition, the fund received strong contributions to performance from zero-coupon municipal bonds and non-callable securities.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Recent economic data suggest to us that the U.S. economy is slowing with little risk of recession. Consequently, the Fed appears unlikely to adjust short-term interest rates in either direction over the next several months. In addition, yield differences along the market’s maturity range have fallen toward historical lows in the wake of the market rally. Therefore, we recently reduced the fund’s average duration modestly to a position that remained slightly longer than industry averages, but to a lesser degree than its previous positioning.When making new purchases, we have focused primarily on higher-quality, income-oriented bonds that tend to fare well in slower-growth economic environments.

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. Each share class is subject 
    to a different sales charge and distribution expense structure and will achieve different returns. Past 
    performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate 
    such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income 
    may be subject to state and local taxes for non-Michigan residents, and some income may be 
    subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, 
    are fully taxable.

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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Michigan Series from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2006     
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.89    $ 7.76    $ 8.63 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,042.20    $1,039.40    $1,038.40 

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.84    $ 7.68    $ 8.54 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,020.42    $1,017.59    $1,016.74 

Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of .95% for Class A, 1.51% for Class B and 1.68% for Class C, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund 19


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company, and operates as a series company that offers eleven series including the Michigan Series (the “fund”).The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal and, where applicable, state income taxes, without undue risk. 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.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. 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. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Trust 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 fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use

20

of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(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. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium

The Fund 21


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. 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, 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.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax

22

returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $444,634 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to April 30, 2006. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2012.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 were as follows: tax exempt income $4,456,204. 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 borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .55% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $634 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $12,025 and $695 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

The Fund 23


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

(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 October 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $8,634 and $20,168, 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 determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $120,337, $4,317 and $6,723, 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 October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $27,156 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $2,044 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $47,468, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $4,447, shareholder services plan fees $21,667, chief compliance officer fees $1,363 and transfer agency per account fees $11,510.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, financial futures and options transactions, during the period ended October 31, 2006, amounted to $8,740,480 and $17,073,219, 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 contracts 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 October 31, 2006, are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

At October 31, 2006, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $7,667,735, consisting of $7,668,555 gross unrealized appreciation and $820 gross unrealized depreciation.

At October 31, 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 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the Trust’s Management Agreement with respect to the fund, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services.The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of 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 distribution channels for the fund as well as the diversity of distribution among the 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 distribution channel, including those of the fund. The Board 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, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail front-end load, Michigan municipal debt funds (the “Performance

26

Group”) and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional Michigan municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.The Board noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe, as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons. The Board noted that the fund’s yield performance for the past ten one-year periods ended June 30, 2006 (1997 - 2006) was equal to or higher than the Performance Group medians, and higher than the Performance Universe medians, for each reported time period.The Board members reviewed the fund’s total return performance for various periods ended June 30, 2006, and noted that the fund’s total return performance was higher than the Performance Group medians for each of the reported time periods, except for the ten-year period, when it was slightly lower, and higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), each selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fee and total expense ratio were higher than the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians.

The Board members noted that there were no other mutual funds, and no institutional or wrap fee separate accounts, managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, as the fund.

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 prof-

The Fund 27


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE
FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

itability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources. The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect 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 bear 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 determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board 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 performance.

28

• The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, 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 management 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 determined 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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Minnesota Series, covering the six-month period from May 1, 2006, through October 31, 2006.

Although reports of slower U.S. economic growth and declining housing prices recently have raised economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely.A stubbornly low unemployment rate suggests that labor market conditions remain strong,and stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide.These and other factors should continue to support further economic expansion, but at a slower rate than we saw earlier this year.

The U.S. bond market also appears to be expecting a slower economy, as evidenced by an “inverted yield curve” at the end of October, in which yields of two-year U.S.Treasury securities were lower than the overnight federal funds rate.This anomaly may indicate that short-term interest rates have peaked, and that investors expect the Federal Reserve Board’s next move to be toward lower short-term interest rates. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, 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

W. Michael Petty, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Minnesota Series perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 3.81% for Class A shares, 3.61% for Class B shares and 3.48% for Class C shares.1 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.12% for the same period.2 In addition, the fund is reported in the Lipper Minnesota Municipal Debt Funds category, and the average total return for all funds reported in this category was 3.57% for the reporting period.3

Municipal bonds rallied over most of the reporting period as the rate of U.S. economic growth began to moderate and the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) refrained from raising short-term interest rates.The fund’s Class A and B shares produced a higher return than its Lipper category average, primarily due to our emphasis on securities toward the longer end of the market’s maturity range. However, the fund lagged its benchmark, which contains bonds from many states, not just Minnesota, and does not reflect fund fees and expenses.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax and Minnesota state income tax without undue risk. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax and from Minnesota state income tax. The fund invests at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Under normal market conditions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio is expected to exceed 10 years.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential.When selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may assess the current interest-rate environment and a municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments. We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices. A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation either to discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We may also look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

Although the reporting period began with a bout of heightened market volatility amid temporary inflation and interest-rate concerns, the municipal bond market generally rallied over the summer and early fall as energy prices declined and U.S. housing markets softened, indicating that the U.S. economic expansion had begun to slow.The Fed lent credence to a less robust economic outlook when, after more than two years of steady rate hikes, it held short-term interest rates unchanged at 5.25% at its meetings in August, September and October. As a result, longer-term municipal bond yields declined while short-term yields remained relatively steady, causing yield differences along the market’s maturity range to narrow.

Municipal bond prices also were supported by favorable supply-and-demand factors over the reporting period. Like most states, Minnesota received more tax revenue than originally projected, enabling it to achieve a budget surplus and reducing its need to borrow. Consequently, the supply of new municipal bonds from Minnesota issuers fell compared to the same period one year earlier.Yet, demand remained robust from both individual and institutional investors seeking competitive levels of tax-free income.

4

The fund benefited from these trends by emphasizing longer-term maturities and maintaining an average duration that was modestly longer than industry averages. This positioning enabled the fund to participate more fully in strength at the longer end of the market’s maturity spectrum. In addition, the fund received strong contributions to performance from zero-coupon municipal bonds and non-callable securities.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Recent economic data suggest to us that the U.S. economy is slowing with little risk of recession. Consequently, the Fed appears unlikely to adjust short-term interest rates in either direction over the next several months. Moreover, yield differences along the market’s maturity range have fallen toward historical lows in the wake of the market rally. Therefore, we recently reduced the fund’s average duration to a position that remained slightly longer than industry averages, but to a lesser degree than its previous positioning.When making new purchases, we have focused primarily on higher-quality, income-oriented bonds that tend to fare well in slower-growth economic environments.

    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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Minnesota Series from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2006     
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.73    $ 7.34    $ 8.57 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,038.10    $1,036.10    $1,034.80 

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.69    $ 7.27    $ 8.49 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,020.57    $1,018.00    $1,016.79 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .92% for Class A, 1.43% for Class B and 1.67% for Class C, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company and operates as a series company that offers eleven series including the Minnesota Series (the “fund”). The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal and, where applicable, state income taxes, without undue risk.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.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. 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. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each Class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Trust 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 Fund 21


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

22

(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. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. 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.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized

The Fund 23


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended April 30,2006 were as follows:tax exempt income $5,005,654. 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 borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .55% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

24

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $1,587 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $2,211 and $1,022 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(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 October 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $25,303 and $16,243, 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 the 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 determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $130,259, $12,651 and $5,415, 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 October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $25,230 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $2,044 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees

The Fund 25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

$55,423, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $6,932, shareholder services plan fees $25,192, chief compliance officer fees $1,363 and transfer agency per account fees $10,722.

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

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and financial futures during the period ended October 31, 2006, amounted to $3,672,714 and $4,461,790, 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 market value of the contracts 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 October 31, 2006, are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

At October 31, 2006, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $7,393,023, consisting of $7,411,593 gross unrealized appreciation and $18,570 gross unrealized depreciation.

At October 31, 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 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the Trust’s Management Agreement with respect to the fund, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services.The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of 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 distribution channels for the fund as well as the diversity of distribution among the 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 distribution channel, including those of the fund. The Board 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, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail

The Fund 27


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

front-end load, Minnesota municipal debt funds (the “Performance Group”) and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional Minnesota municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.The Board members noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe, as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons. The Board noted that the fund’s yield performance for the past ten one-year periods ended June 30, 2006 (1997 - 2006) was equal to or higher than the Performance Group medians for each of the reported time periods except the one-year periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, when it was lower, and that the fund’s yield performance was higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period. The Board members then reviewed the fund’s total return performance for various periods ended June 30, 2006, and noted that the fund’s performance was higher than the Performance Group medians for each of the reported time periods except the ten-year period, when it was slightly lower, and that the fund’s performance was higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), each selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fee was equal to or higher than the Expense Group medians and higher than the Expense Universe median and that the fund’s total expense ratio was higher than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.

The Board members noted that there were no other mutual funds, and no institutional or wrap fee separate accounts, managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, as the fund.

28

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 profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the decline in fund assets from the prior year, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect 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 bear 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 determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations.

The Fund 29


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

• 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 performance.

• The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, 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 management 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 determined 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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, North Carolina Series, covering the six-month period from May 1, 2006, through October 31, 2006.

Although reports of slower U.S. economic growth and declining housing prices recently have raised economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely.A stubbornly low unemployment rate suggests that labor market conditions remain strong,and stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide.These and other factors should continue to support further economic expansion, but at a slower rate than we saw earlier this year.

The U.S. bond market also appears to be expecting a slower economy, as evidenced by an “inverted yield curve” at the end of October, in which yields of two-year U.S.Treasury securities were lower than the overnight federal funds rate.This anomaly may indicate that short-term interest rates have peaked, and that investors expect the Federal Reserve Board’s next move to be toward lower short-term interest rates. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, 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

Monica S. Wieboldt, Senior Portfolio Manager

Note to Shareholders: Effective August 2006,Monica Wieboldt became the primary portfolio manager of the fund.

How did Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, North Carolina Series perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 3.79% for Class A shares, 3.52% for Class B shares and 3.39% for Class C shares.1 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.12% for the same period.2 In addition, the fund is reported in the Lipper North Carolina Municipal Debt Funds category, and the average total return for all funds reported in the category was 3.64% for the reporting period.3

Slowing U.S. economic growth helped ease investors’ inflation fears over the summer and early fall of 2006, sparking a market rally that more than offset earlier weakness. The fund lagged the benchmark, primarily because the Index contains bonds from many states, not just North Carolina, and does not reflect fees and expenses to which the fund is subject. However, the fund’s Class A shares produced a higher return than its Lipper category average, primarily due to its focus on longer-term securities that gained value as bond yields declined.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax and North Carolina state income tax without undue risk. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax and from North Carolina state income tax.The fund invests at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Under normal market

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

conditions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio is expected to exceed 10 years.

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may assess the current interest-rate environment and a municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments. We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices. A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation either to discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We may also look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

The reporting period began with a sharp decline in municipal bond prices, as strengthening labor markets, resurgent commodity prices and hawkish comments from members of the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) rekindled inflation concerns and caused investors to revise upward their interest-rate expectations. By the end of June, the Fed had hiked the overnight federal funds rate to 5.25% .

Investor sentiment subsequently began to improve, however, as a softening housing market and moderating employment gains indicated that the U.S. economy was moving to a slower phase of its cycle.The Fed lent credence to this view when it refrained in August, September and October from raising short-term interest rates after more than two years of steady rate hikes. Municipal bonds rallied as investors first anticipated and then reacted to the Fed’s pause.

In addition, municipal bond prices were supported by favorable supply-and-demand influences. The economic environment was favorable for most states, as tax revenues ran higher than projections. Consequently, the supply of newly issued bonds declined compared to the same period

one year earlier, while demand for competitive levels of tax-exempt income from individual and institutional investors remained robust.

For most of the reporting period, we set the fund’s average duration in a range we considered slightly longer than industry averages, which enabled it to participate more fully in the market rally. In addition, the fund benefited from strong relative performance among its holdings of non-callable bonds, zero-coupon bonds and securities with long maturities, while municipal bonds backed by revenues from hospitals and utilities also fared well as business fundamentals and investor demand remained robust.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Given the downturn in the housing market, economic data have continued to indicate that U.S. economic growth is moderating with relatively little risk of recession.This suggests to us that the Fed is likely to remain on hold for the foreseeable future.Therefore, we may reduce the fund’s average duration toward a range we consider to be in line with industry averages, and we expect to maintain our emphasis on high-quality, income-oriented securities.

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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, North Carolina Series from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2006     
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 5.14    $ 7.80    $ 9.07 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,037.90    $1,035.20    $1,033.90 

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 5.09    $ 7.73    $ 9.00 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,020.16    $1,017.54    $1,016.28 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.00% for Class A, 1.52% for Class B and 1.77% for Class C; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company, and operates as a series company that offers eleven series including the North Carolina Series (the “fund”). The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal and, where applicable, state income taxes, without undue risk.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. The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. 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. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each Class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Trust 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.

20

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.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The Fund 21


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

(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. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. 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, 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.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

22

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statementes of the fund.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $109,717 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to April 30, 2006. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2013.

The tax character of all distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 was as follows: tax exempt income $2,851,782. 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 borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .55% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $498 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares, and $5,541 and $11 from contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(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 October 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $17,771 and $6,056, 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 determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $75,238, $8,885 and $2,019, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

24

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 October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $17,648 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $2,044 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $31,600, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $3,949, shareholder services plan fees $14,440, chief compliance officer fees $1,363 and transfer agency per account fees $8,287.

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

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended October 31, 2006, amounted to $11,674,976 and $14,524,884, respectively.

At October 31, 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 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the Trust’s Management Agreement with respect to the fund, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of 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 distribution channels for the fund as well as the diversity of distribution among the 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 distribution channel, including those of the fund. The Board 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, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail front-end load, North Carolina municipal debt funds (the “Performance

26

Group”) and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional North Carolina municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data. The Board members noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons. The Board members noted that the fund’s yield performance for the past ten one-year periods ended June 30, 2006 (1997-2006) was equal to or higher than the Performance Group medians for each reported time period except the one-year periods ended June 30, 2002, 2004 and 2005, when it was lower, and that the fund’s yield performance was higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period. The Board members then reviewed the fund’s total return performance for various periods ended June 30, 2006, and noted that the fund’s performance was higher than the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for each reported time period.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), each selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fees and total expense ratio were higher than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.

The Board members noted that there were no other mutual funds, and no institutional or wrap fee separate accounts, managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, as the fund.

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 prof-

The Fund 27


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

itability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the decline in fund assets from the prior year, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect 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 bear 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 determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board 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 performance.

28

• The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, 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 management 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 determined 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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Ohio Series, covering the six-month period from May 1, 2006, through October 31, 2006.

Although reports of slower U.S. economic growth and declining housing prices recently have raised economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely.A stubbornly low unemployment rate suggests that labor market conditions remain strong,and stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide.These and other factors should continue to support further economic expansion, but at a slower rate than we saw earlier this year.

The U.S. bond market also appears to be expecting a slower economy, as evidenced by an “inverted yield curve” at the end of October, in which yields of two-year U.S.Treasury securities were lower than the overnight federal funds rate.This anomaly may indicate that short-term interest rates have peaked, and that investors expect the Federal Reserve Board’s next move to be toward lower short-term interest rates. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, 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

W. Michael Petty, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Ohio Series perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 3.81% for Class A shares, 3.54% for Class B shares and 3.40% for Class C shares.1The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.12% for the same period.2 In addition, the fund is reported in the Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds category, and the average total return for all funds reported in this category was 3.57% for the reporting period.3

Municipal bonds rallied over most of the reporting period as the rate of U.S. economic growth began to moderate and the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) refrained from raising short-term interest rates.The fund’s Class A shares produced a higher return than its Lipper category average, primarily due to our emphasis on securities toward the longer end of the market’s maturity range. However, the fund lagged its benchmark, which contains bonds from many states, not just Ohio, and does not reflect fund fees and expenses.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax and Ohio state income tax without undue risk.To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax and from Ohio state income tax.The fund invests at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Under normal market conditions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio is expected to exceed 10 years.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential.When selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may assess the current interest-rate environment and a municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments. We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices. A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation either to discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We may also look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

Although the reporting period began with a bout of heightened market volatility, the municipal bond market generally rallied over the summer and early fall as energy prices declined and U.S. housing markets softened, indicating that the U.S. economic expansion had begun to slow. The Fed lent credence to a less robust economic outlook when, after more than two years of steady rate hikes, it held short-term interest rates unchanged at 5.25% at its meetings in August, September and October.As a result, longer-term municipal bond yields declined while short-term yields remained relatively steady, causing yield differences along the market’s maturity range to narrow.

Municipal bond prices also were supported by favorable supply-and-demand factors. Like most states, Ohio received more tax revenue than originally projected, reducing its need to borrow. Consequently, the supply of new municipal bonds fell compared to the same period one year earlier.Yet, demand remained robust from investors seeking competitive levels of tax-free income.

The fund benefited from these trends by emphasizing longer-term maturities and maintaining an average duration that was modestly longer than industry averages. This positioning enabled the fund to

4

participate more fully in strength at the longer end of the market’s maturity spectrum. In addition, the fund received strong contributions from zero-coupon municipal bonds and non-callable securities.

However, the fund’s relative performance was hindered when a few of its seasoned holdings were redeemed early by their issuers, resulting in the loss of high-coupon, premium-priced securities that could not be replaced in today’s lower interest-rate environment.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Recent economic data suggest to us that the U.S. economy is slowing with little risk of recession, and the Fed appears unlikely to adjust short-term interest rates in either direction over the next several months. Moreover, yield differences along the market’s maturity range have fallen toward historical lows after the market rally. Nonetheless, because we recently found what we believe to be attractive opportunities among longer-term non-callable and discount bonds, the fund’s average duration recently rose to a range that remained longer than industry averages, but to a slightly greater degree than its previous positioning.

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. Each share class 
    is subject to a different sales charge and distribution expense structure and will achieve different 
    returns. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment 
    return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their 
    original cost. Income may be subject to state and local taxes for non-Ohio residents, and some 
    income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. 
    Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable.

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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Ohio Series from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2006     
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.57    $ 7.29    $ 8.51 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,038.10    $1,035.40    $1,034.00 

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.53    $ 7.22    $ 8.44 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,020.72    $1,018.05    $1,016.84 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .89% for Class A, 1.42% for Class B and 1.66% for Class C, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

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. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Trust 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 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.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifica tions. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(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. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. 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, 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.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

24

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $2,849,978 available for federal income taxes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to April 30, 2006. If not applied, $359,183 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2009, $2,103,420 expires in fiscal 2012 and $387,375 expires in fiscal 2013.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 was as follows: tax exempt income $9,064,778. 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 October 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .55% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $4,489 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares, and $53,627 and $634 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(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 October 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $49,184 and $37,218, 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 determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $232,235, $24,592 and $12,406, 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 October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $48,690 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

26

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $2,044 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $98,844, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $13,722, shareholder services plan fees $45,037, chief compliance officer fees $1,363 and transfer agent per account fees $21,897.

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

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and financial futures, during the period ended October 31, 2006, amounted to $24,874,662 and $33,143,639, 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 at October 31, 2006, are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

At October 31, 2006, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for federal reporting purposes (see Statement of Investments).

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the Trust’s Management Agreement with respect to the fund, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services.The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of 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 distribution channels for the fund as well as the diversity of distribution among the 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 distribution channel, including those of the fund. The Board 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, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail front-end load, Ohio municipal debt funds (the “Performance Group”)

28

and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional Ohio municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.The Board members noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons. The Board members noted that the fund’s yield performance for the past ten one-year periods ended June 30, 2006 (1997-2006) was higher than the Performance Group median for each reported time period except the one-year periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, when it was lower, and that the fund’s yield performance was higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period. The Board members then reviewed the fund’s total return performance for various periods ended June 30, 2006, and noted that the fund’s performance was higher than the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for each reported time period.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), each selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fee and total expense ratio were higher than the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians.

The Board members noted that there were no other mutual funds, and no institutional or wrap fee separate accounts, managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, as the fund.

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 prof-

The Fund 29


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

itability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the decline in fund assets from the prior year, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect 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 bear 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 determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board 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 performance.

30

• The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, 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 management 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 determined 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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Series, covering the six-month period from May 1, 2006, through October 31, 2006.

Although reports of slower U.S. economic growth and declining housing prices recently have raised economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely.A stubbornly low unemployment rate suggests that labor market conditions remain strong,and stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide.These and other factors should continue to support further economic expansion, but at a slower rate than we saw earlier this year.

The U.S. bond market also appears to be expecting a slower economy, as evidenced by an “inverted yield curve” at the end of October, in which yields of two-year U.S.Treasury securities were lower than the overnight federal funds rate.This anomaly may indicate that short-term interest rates have peaked, and that investors expect the Federal Reserve Board’s next move to be toward lower short-term interest rates. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, 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

Douglas Gaylor, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Series perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 4.27% for Class A shares, 4.00% for Class B shares and 3.88% for Class C shares.1 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.12% for the same period.2 In addition, the fund is reported in the Lipper Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds category, and the average total return for all funds reported in this category was 3.70% for the reporting period.3

Despite heightened market volatility early in the reporting period, an economic slowdown, stabilizing interest rates and robust investor demand generally supported higher municipal bond prices. The fund’s Class A shares produced higher returns than its benchmark and Lipper category average, primarily due to the fund’s emphasis on longer-term bonds.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax and Pennsylvania state income tax without undue risk.To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax and Pennsylvania income tax.The fund invests at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Under normal market conditions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio is expected to exceed 10 years.

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may

The Fund 3


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

assess the current interest-rate environment and a municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments. We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices. A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation either to discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We may also look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

The municipal bond market encountered weakness at the start of the reporting period, when hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) members rekindled investors’ inflation concerns. However, the market subsequently rallied, more than offsetting previous losses, as investors’ inflation concerns waned amid evidence of slower economic growth. The Fed lent credence to the view that inflationary pressures were likely to subside when it refrained from raising interest rates at its August, September and October meetings, the first pauses after more than two years of steady rate hikes.

Like many other states, Pennsylvania’s fiscal condition benefited from the strong economy.The state received more tax revenue than originally projected, enabling it to achieve a budget surplus and reducing its need to borrow. Consequently, the supply of newly issued Pennsylvania municipal bonds declined compared to the same period one year earlier. Yet, investor demand remained robust from investors seeking competitive levels of federally tax-exempt income, lending further support to bond prices.

We maintained the fund’s income stream even as longer-term bond yields fell by selling shorter-term securities with lower book yields and replacing them with longer-term securities that, in our judgment, offered better income characteristics. In doing so, we lengthened the fund’s aver-

4

age duration toward a position that was slightly longer than industry averages, enabling the fund to participate more fully in the market rally. In addition, the fund benefited from its core holdings of seasoned bonds, which were acquired when yields were higher than current levels.Finally, because yield differences between lower-quality and higher-quality bonds had narrowed toward historically low levels, we generally maintained our focus on securities with higher credit ratings or third-party insurance.4 However, we occasionally found opportunities to invest in income-oriented municipal bonds that we believed were either underrated or were poised for an improvement in credit quality.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Cooling housing markets, less robust employment gains and subdued inflation data currently indicate to us that the Fed is unlikely to raise interest rates in the foreseeable future. At the same time, demand for municipal bonds has remained robust from traditional and new market participants.Therefore, we intend to maintain the fund’s relatively long average duration in anticipation of lower long-term bond yields.

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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Series from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2006     
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.74    $ 7.40    $ 8.53 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,042.70    $1,040.00    $1,038.80 

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.69    $ 7.32    $ 8.44 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,020.57    $1,017.95    $1,016.84 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .92% for Class A, 1.44% for Class B and 1.66% for Class C, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company, and operates as a series company that offers eleven series including the Pennsylvania Series (the “fund”).The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal and, where applicable, state income taxes, without undue risk. 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. The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. 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. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Trust 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.

24

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.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The Fund 25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

(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. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. 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, 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.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

26

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $4,173,099 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to April 30, 2006. If not applied, $1,286,262 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2011 and $2,886,837 expires in fiscal 2013.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 were as follows: tax exempt income $6,742,404. 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 borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the fund’s Management Agreement, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services.The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of 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 distribution channels for the fund as well as the diversity of distribution among the 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 distribution channel, including those of the fund. The Board 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, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail front-end load, Pennsylvania municipal debt funds (the “Performance Group”)

30

and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional Pennsylvania municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.The Board members noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe, as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below).The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons.The Board members noted that the fund’s yield performance for the past ten one-year periods ended June 30, 2006 (1997-2006) was lower than the Performance Group medians for each reported time period, and equal to or higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period except the one-year periods ended June 30, 2003, 2004 and 2005, when it was lower. The Board members then reviewed the fund’s total return performance for various periods ended June 30, 2006, and noted that the fund’s performance was lower than the Performance Group medians for each reported time period,and higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period, except the one-year period ended June 30, 2006, when it was lower. Dreyfus also provided the Board with the fund’s yield and total return performance and the quartile, percentile and rank of the fund’s yield and total return performance within its Lipper category (as provided by Lipper) for certain other periods.The Board noted that the fund’s yield was in Lipper’s second quartile (the first quartile being the best performance), and that the fund’s total return was in Lipper’s third quartile, for the three-month and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2006.The Board members discussed with representatives of the Manager the reasons for the fund’s underperformance compared to the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for the applicable periods, and the Manager’s efforts to improve performance. The Board also received a presentation from the fund’s primary portfolio manager during which he discussed the fund’s investment strategy and the factors that affected the fund’s performance.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense

The Fund 31


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), each selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fee and total expense ratio were higher than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.

The Board members noted that there were no other mutual funds, and no institutional or wrap fee separate accounts, managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, as the fund.

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 profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the decline in fund assets from the prior year, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager and from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect 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 bear 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 determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment com-

32

panies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board 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 Manager’s efforts to improve performance as discussed at the meeting, but concluded that it was necessary to continue to monitor the performance of the fund and its portfolio management team.

• The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, 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 management 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 determined 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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund,Texas Series, covering the six-month period from May 1, 2006, through October 31, 2006.

Although reports of slower U.S. economic growth and declining housing prices recently have raised economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely.A stubbornly low unemployment rate suggests that labor market conditions remain strong,and stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide.These and other factors should continue to support further economic expansion, but at a slower rate than we saw earlier this year.

The U.S. bond market also appears to be expecting a slower economy, as evidenced by an “inverted yield curve” at the end of October, in which yields of two-year U.S.Treasury securities were lower than the overnight federal funds rate.This anomaly may indicate that short-term interest rates have peaked, and that investors expect the Federal Reserve Board’s next move to be toward lower short-term interest rates. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, 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

Douglas Gaylor, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Texas Series perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 4.09% for Class A shares, 3.83% for Class B shares and 3.70% for Class C shares.1The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.12% for the same period.2 In addition, the fund is reported in the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds category, and the average total return for all funds reported in this category was 3.36% for the reporting period.3

Despite heightened market volatility early in the reporting period, stabilizing interest rates and robust investor demand generally supported higher municipal bond prices.The fund produced higher returns than its Lipper category average, primarily due to its emphasis on longer-term bonds.The fund’s Class A shares produced returns that were roughly in line with its benchmark, which does not reflect fund fees and expenses.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax without undue risk.To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax.The fund invests at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Under normal market conditions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio is expected to exceed 10 years.

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may assess the current interest-rate environment and a municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments. We focus on bonds

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices. A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation either to discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We may also look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

The municipal bond market encountered weakness at the start of the reporting period, when hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) members rekindled investors’ inflation concerns. However, the market subsequently rallied, more than offsetting previous losses, as investors’ inflation concerns waned amid evidence of slower economic growth. The Fed lent credence to the view that inflationary pressures were likely to subside when it refrained from raising interest rates at its August, September and October meetings, the first pauses after more than two years of steady rate hikes.

Like many other states, Texas’s fiscal condition benefited from the strong economy. Although the supply of newly issued Texas bonds remained ample, other states had less need to borrow, causing the national supply of newly issued bonds to decline compared to the same period one year earlier. Yet, investor demand remained robust from investors seeking competitive levels of federally tax-exempt income, lending further support to bond prices.

We maintained the fund’s income stream even as longer-term bond yields fell by selling shorter-term securities with lower book yields and replacing them with longer-term securities that, in our judgment, offered better income characteristics. In doing so, we lengthened the fund’s average duration from a relatively short position to one that was in line with industry averages, enabling the fund to participate more fully in the market rally. In addition, the fund benefited from its core holdings of seasoned bonds, which were acquired when yields were

4

higher than current levels. Finally, because yield differences between lower-quality and higher-quality bonds had narrowed toward historically low levels, we generally maintained our focus on securities with higher credit ratings or third-party insurance.4 However, we occasionally found opportunities to invest in income-oriented municipal bonds that we believed were either underrated or were poised for an improvement in credit quality.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Cooling housing markets, less robust employment gains and subdued inflation data currently indicate to us that the Fed is unlikely to raise interest rates in the foreseeable future. At the same time, demand for municipal bonds has remained robust from traditional and new market participants. Therefore, we may look for opportunities to increase the fund’s relatively long average duration in anticipation of lower long-term bond yields.

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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund,Texas Series from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2006     
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.32    $ 6.88    $ 8.16 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,040.90    $1,038.30    $1,037.00 

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2006

    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.28    $ 6.82    $ 8.08 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,020.97    $1,018.45    $1,017.19 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .84% for Class A, 1.34% for Class B and 1.59% for Class C; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company, and operates as a series company that offers eleven series including the Texas Series (the “fund”). The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal and, where applicable, state income taxes, without undue risk. 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.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. 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. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Trust 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 Fund 21


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

22

(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. Interest income, adjusted for, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. 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.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the

The Fund 23


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, were as follows: tax exempt income $2,108,100 and long term capital gains $388,239.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 borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

24

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .55% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.The Manager had undertaken from May 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006 to reduce the management fee paid by the fund, if the fund’s aggregate expenses, excluding Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees, taxes, brokerage fees, commitment fees,interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses,exceed an annual rate of .85% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $41,303 during the period ended October 31, 2006.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $118 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $2,657 and $2 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares.

(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 October 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $5,420 and $7,154, 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 the 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

The Fund 25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

other industry professional) in respect of these services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $57,506, $2,710 and $2,384, 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 October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $7,701 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $2,044 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $23,058, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $2,092, shareholders services plan fees $10,481, chief compliance officer fees $1,363, transfer agency per account fees $2,237, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $7,268.

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

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended October 31, 2006, amounted to $5,346,019 and $7,847,641, respectively.

At October 31, 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).

26

NOTE 5—Subsequent Event:

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond (the “Trust”) held on November 15, 2006, the Board approved, subject to shareholder approval, an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the fund and Dreyfus Municipal Funds, Inc., on behalf of Dreyfus Premier Select Municipal Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”). The Agreement provides for the transfer of the fund’s assets to the Acquiring Fund in a tax-free exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the fund’s stated liabilities, the distribution of shares of the Acquiring Fund to the fund’s shareholders and the subsequent termination of the fund (the “Reorganization”). It is currently contemplated that holders of fund shares as of December 15, 2006 will be asked to approve the Agreement on behalf of the fund at a special meeting of shareholders to be held on or about March 1, 2007. The Reorganization is expected to take place on or about March 13, 2007. In anticipation of the Reorganization, effective on or about November 17, 2006, the fund will be closed to any investments for new accounts.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the Trust’s Management Agreement with respect to the fund, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of 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 distribution channels for the fund as well as the diversity of distribution among the 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 distribution channel, including those of the fund. The Board 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, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail front-end load, Texas intermediate municipal debt funds (the

28

“Performance Group”) and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional “other states” intermediate municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.The Board members noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below).The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons.The Board members noted that the fund’s yield performance for the past ten one-year periods ended June 30, 2006 (1997-2006) was equal to or higher than the Performance Group medians for each reported time period except the one-year periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, when it was lower, and that the fund’s yield performance was higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period.The Board members then reviewed the fund’s total return performance for various periods ended June 30, 2006, and noted that the fund’s performance was higher than the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for each reported time period.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), each selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fee and total expense ratio were equal to or lower than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.The Board noted the Manager’s current undertaking to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses to limit the fund’s expense ratio.

Representatives of the Manager reviewed with the Board members the fees paid to the Manager or its affiliates by mutual funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates included in the same category as the fund (the “Similar Funds”). The Manager’s representatives explained the nature of the Similar Funds and the differences, from the Manager’s perspective, in providing services to the Similar Funds as compared to managing and providing services to the fund.The Manager’s represen-

The Fund 29


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

tatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries. The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fee.The Board acknowledged that differences in fees paid by the Similar Funds seemed to be consistent with the services to be provided. Representatives of the Manager informed the Board members that there were no other institutional or wrap fee separate accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund.

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 profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the decline in fund assets from the prior year, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect 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 bear 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 determined by appropriate court

30

cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board 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 performance.

• The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable (noting the Manager’s agreement to waive a portion of its fee) in light of the services provided, 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 management 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 determined 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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund,Virginia Series, covering the six-month period from May 1, 2006, through October 31, 2006.

Although reports of slower U.S. economic growth and declining housing prices recently have raised economic concerns, we believe that neither a domestic recession nor a major shortfall in global growth is likely.A stubbornly low unemployment rate suggests that labor market conditions remain strong,and stimulative monetary policies over the last several years have left a legacy of ample financial liquidity worldwide.These and other factors should continue to support further economic expansion, but at a slower rate than we saw earlier this year.

The U.S. bond market also appears to be expecting a slower economy, as evidenced by an “inverted yield curve” at the end of October, in which yields of two-year U.S.Treasury securities were lower than the overnight federal funds rate.This anomaly may indicate that short-term interest rates have peaked, and that investors expect the Federal Reserve Board’s next move to be toward lower short-term interest rates. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of these and other matters with your financial adviser.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, 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

Joseph Darcy, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund, Virginia Series perform relative to its benchmark?

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 3.49% for Class A shares, 3.29% for Class B shares and 3.10% for Class C shares.1 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 4.12% for the same period.2

After encountering weakness early in the reporting period, municipal bonds rallied as inflation and interest-rate concerns eased. The fund produced lower returns than its benchmark, primarily because its longstanding holdings of high-coupon securities tend to be less responsive than most bonds to falling long-term interest rates. In addition, the fund’s benchmark contains securities from many states, not just Virginia, and its performance does not reflect fund fees and expenses.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax and Virginia state income tax without undue risk.To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax and from Virginia state income tax.The fund invests at least 70% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Under normal market conditions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio is expected to exceed 10 years.

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may assess the current interest-rate environment and a municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments. We focus on bonds

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices. A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation either to discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views of the current interest-rate and market environment.We may also look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

After a sustained period in which fixed-income investors were encouraged by robust economic growth and low inflation, market sentiment appeared to deteriorate in the spring of 2006. Hawkish comments by members of the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) and rising energy prices sparked renewed concerns regarding inflation and interest rates, leading to a decline in municipal bond prices.

However, investors’ inflation worries eased over the summer, as softening housing markets and less impressive employment gains indicated that U.S. economic growth might be slowing. Indeed, the Fed cited a slowing economy when it refrained from raising short-term interest rates at its meetings in August, September and October, its first pauses in more than two years. As investors anticipated and reacted to the change in Fed policy, municipal bond prices rallied, enabling the fund to post solidly positive total returns for the reporting period overall.

Supply-and-demand factors remained supportive of municipal bond prices.Virginia and its municipalities have taken in more tax revenue than originally projected, reducing their need to borrow. As a result, municipal bond issuance volume in Virginia declined sharply compared to the same period one year earlier. Meanwhile, demand remained robust from investors seeking high current tax-exempt yields.

Despite lower longer-term municipal bond yields over the reporting period, the fund continued to receive strong income contributions from its core holdings, which were purchased at higher rates than are

available today. However, because these seasoned securities tend to be less sensitive to falling long-term rates, the fund did not participate as strongly as its benchmark in the market rally, limiting the contribution of price gains to its total return.

When making new purchases, we focused on securities with strong liquidity characteristics. In addition, we found a number of income-oriented opportunities in bonds backed by Virginia nursing homes and assisted care facilities.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

If the municipal bond market were to sustain itself over the next two months, 2006 will become the seventh consecutive calendar year of positive tax-exempt market performance. Of course, there is no guarantee how the municipal bond market will perform. In our view, slower economic growth and favorable supply-and-demand dynamics could continue to support municipal bond prices over the foreseeable future. However, to protect the fund from the possibility of an unexpected economic resurgence, we have continued to set the fund’s weighted average duration in a range we consider shorter than industry averages.

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. Each share class is subject to a different sales charge and distribution expense structure and will achieve different returns. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income may be subject to state and local taxes for non-Virginia residents, and some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable. Return figures provided reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to an undertaking in effect that may be extended, terminated or modified at any time. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s returns would have been lower.

Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses associated with operating a mutual fund.

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 Premier State Municipal Bond Fund,Virginia Series from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2006     
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 5.03    $ 7.63    $ 8.86 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,034.90    $1,032.90    $1,031.00 

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment         
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2006 
    Class A    Class B    Class C 




Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 4.99    $ 7.58    $ 8.79 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,020.27    $1,017.69    $1,016.48 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .98% for Class A, 1.49% for Class B, and 1.73% for Class C; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund 19


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier State Municipal Bond Fund (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company, and operates as a series company that offers eleven series including the Virginia Series (the “fund”).The fund’s investment objective is to maximize current income exempt from federal and, where applicable, state income taxes, without undue risk. 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.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. 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. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each Class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Effective June 1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

The Trust 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.

20

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.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements.The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The Fund 21


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

(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. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. 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, 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.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

22

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $1,738,709 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to April 30, 2006. If not applied, $568,745 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2009, $151,002 expires in fiscal 2010, $939,845 expires in fiscal 2011 and $79,117 expires in fiscal 2013.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 was as follows: tax exempt income $2,932,601.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 borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

The Fund 23


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .55% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.The Manager had undertaken from May 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006 to reduce the management fee paid by the fund, if the fund’s aggregate expenses, excluding Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees, taxes, brokerage fees, commitment fees, interest on borrowings and extraordinary expenses, exceed an annual rate of 1% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $4,291 during the period ended October 31, 2006.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $2,111 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $7,118 and $2 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(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 October 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $13,710 and $10,416, 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 determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the

24

period ended October 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $75,659, $6,855 and $3,472, 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 October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $18,012 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended October 31, 2006, the fund was charged $2,044 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $31,580, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $3,934, chief compliance officer fees $1,363, shareholder services plan fees $14,201 and transfer agency per account fees $7,960, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $1,001.

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

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended October 31, 2006, amounted to $7,187,317 and $8,709,248, respectively.

At October 31, 2006, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $3,554,616, consisting of $3,585,109 gross unrealized appreciation and $30,493 gross unrealized depreciation.

At October 31, 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 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on August 2, 2006, the Board considered the re-approval for an annual period (through September 5, 2007) of the fund’s Management Agreement, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services.The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of 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 distribution channels for the fund as well as the diversity of distribution among the 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 distribution channel, including those of the fund. The Board 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, Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and placed significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of retail front-end load, Virginia municipal debt funds (the “Performance

26

Group”) and to a larger universe of funds, consisting of all retail and institutional Virginia municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), selected and provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.The Board members noted that they had been provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe as well as the Expense Group and Expense Universe (discussed below). The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons. The Board members noted that the fund’s yield performance for the past ten one-year periods ended June 30, 2006 (1997-2006) was equal to or higher than the Performance Group medians for each reported time period except the one-year period ended June 30, 2005, when it was slightly lower, and that the fund’s yield performance was higher than the Performance Universe medians for each reported time period.The Board members then reviewed the fund’s total return performance for various periods ended June 30, 2006, and noted that the fund’s performance was variously higher and lower than the Performance Group medians during the reported time periods, and higher than the Performance Universe medians for the two-, four-, five- and ten-year periods, and lower for the one-, and three-year periods.

The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio and reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “Expense Group”) and a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), each selected and provided by Lipper.The Board noted that the fund’s management fee and total expense ratio were higher than the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.The Board noted the Manager’s current undertaking to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses and to limit the fund’s expense ratio.

Representatives of the Manager reviewed with the Board members the fees paid to the Manager or its affiliates by mutual funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates included in the same category as the fund (the “Similar Funds”).The Manager’s representatives explained the nature of the Similar Funds and the differences, from the Manager’s perspective, in

The Fund 27


INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

providing services to the Similar Funds as compared to managing and providing services to the fund. The Manager’s representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries. The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fee.The Board acknowledged that differences in fees paid by the Similar Funds seemed to be consistent with the services to be provided. Representatives of the Manager informed the Board members that there were no other accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the fund.

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 profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, including the decline in fund assets from the prior year, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund sharehold-ers.The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect 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 bear 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

28

realized any economies of scale would be less.The Board members also discussed the profitability percentage determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered to investment companies. It was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was not unreasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations described above, the Board 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 generally satisfied with the fund’s overall performance.

• The Board concluded that the fee paid to the Manager by the fund was reasonable (noting the Manager’s agreement to waive a portion of its fee) in light of the services provided, 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 management 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 determined 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.
