Stock Index Fund, Inc.
The Fund

Dear Shareholder:

This annual report for Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. covers the 12-month period from January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003. Inside, you’ll find valuable information about how the fund was managed during the reporting period, including a discussion with the fund’s portfolio manager, Thomas Durante, who became the fund’s sole portfolio manager on September 15, 2003.

Despite headwinds caused by economic and geopolitical uncertainty early in the year, stocks generally bounced back in 2003, with many stock market indexes generating their first full calendar year of gains since 1999. The combination of historically low interest rates, lower federal income tax rates, progress in the war on terrorism and above-trend economic growth during the second half of the year helped propel stock prices higher.

While stocks in general may no longer be priced as attractively as they were at the start of the year, we believe that market fundamentals remain favorable based on recent forecasts of continued economic growth. However, our optimism is tempered by the understanding that some companies, industries and market sectors always perform better than others.As always, we urge you to speak regularly with your financial advisor, who may be in the best position to suggest the Dreyfus funds designed to meet your current needs, future goals and tolerance for risk.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

Stephen E. Canter
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Thomas Durante, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. perform relative to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2003, Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. produced total returns of 28.36% for its Initial shares and 28.05% for its Service shares.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), produced a total return of 28.68% for the same period.2,3

The fund and the market’s performance improved significantly during the reporting period, most notably during the second through fourth quarters of the year, when rising stock prices were driven by investor confidence in an improving U.S. economy. The difference in returns between the fund and S&P 500 Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and other operating expenses that are reflected in the performance of the S&P 500 Index.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks to match the total return of the S&P 500 Index. To pursue this goal, the fund generally invests in all 500 stocks in proportion to their weightings in the S&P 500 Index. Often considered a barometer for the stock market in general, the S&P 500 Index is made up of 500 widely held common stocks across 10 sectors and is dominated by large-cap, blue-chip stocks which, when combined, cover nearly 75% of the total U.S. market capitalization.

However, it is important to note that the S&P 500 Index is not composed of the 500 largest companies; rather, it is designed to capture the returns of many different sectors of the U.S. economy. Each stock is weighted by its market capitalization. Overall, larger companies have greater representation in the S&P 500 Index than smaller ones. The fund may also use stock index futures as a substitute for the sale or purchase of stocks.

The Fund 3


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. uses a passive management approach; all investment decisions are made based on the fund’s objective, which is to seek to match the performance of the S&P 500 Index.The fund does not attempt to manage market volatility.

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

What a difference a year makes! When 2003 began, the stock market appeared to be mired in weakness, caused primarily by a stubbornly weak U.S. economy, uncertainty leading up to the war with Iraq and corporate scandals affecting a number of large-cap companies. However, beginning in mid-March when the allied coalition entered Baghdad, investors began to look forward to a resumption of stronger economic growth. In addition, lower federal income tax rates and declining interest rates helped put cash in consumer’s pockets and boost investor confidence. The ensuing stock market rally persisted, despite some short-term volatility, through year-end. In addition, the U.S. economy appeared to have firmly regained its footing by the conclusion of 2003. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew an annualized 8.2% during the third quarter alone, and productivity, manufacturing and jobless claims all posted long-awaited improvements.

In this environment, all 10 sectors within the S&P 500 Index produced positive returns during 2003. The market’s strongest returns stemmed from the technology sector, where the rally was led by semiconductor and Internet-related stocks. These companies benefited from cost-cutting measures, which enabled them to produce higher earnings as customer demand improved.An increase in global demand within the producer goods and services sector created a greater need for raw materials, which, in turn, helped stimulate returns for mining and metal, heavy electrical equipment and paper and forestry stocks.

Financial services stocks also performed well during the reporting period. Securities and asset management firms posted the strongest returns, having benefited from lower interest rates, a rebound in the stock market and, in some cases, resolution of longstanding legal issues. Consumer cyclical stocks also flourished amid continued consumer spending.Winners in the consumer cyclicals area included investments in hotels, motor vehicle, specialty retail and restaurant stocks.

4


Returns from the S&P 500 Index’s telecommunications stocks were less than stellar, largely due to greater competition from cable television companies offering high-speed Internet access. Prices of many large pharmaceutical stocks also fell, primarily because of competitive pricing pressures.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

As an index fund, our strategy remains the same: to attempt to replicate the returns of the S&P 500 Index. We have noted that the rebound broadened during the year to include a greater number of stocks and industry groups. However, we remain aware that the stock market has been subject to heightened volatility for some time now. In our view, one of the greatest benefits of broadly diversified index funds is that they can help investors manage risks by limiting the impact on the overall portfolio of unexpected losses in any single industry group or holding.

January 15, 2004

The portfolio is only available as a funding vehicle under various life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies. Individuals may not purchase shares of the portfolio directly.A variable annuity is an insurance contract issued by an insurance company that enables investors to accumulate assets on a tax-deferred basis for retirement or other long-term goals.The investment objective and policies of Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. made available through insurance products may be similar to other funds/portfolios managed or advised by Dreyfus. However, the investment results of the portfolio may be higher or lower than, and may not be comparable to, those of any other Dreyfus fund/portfolio.

Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.The fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in variable insurance contracts, which will reduce returns. Return figures provided reflect the absorption of portfolio expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to an agreement in which shareholders are given at least 180 days’ notice, at which time it may be extended, terminated or modified. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the portfolio’s returns would have been lower.

In addition, the blended performance figures have not been adjusted to reflect the higher operating expenses of the Service shares. If these expenses had been reflected, the blended performance figures would have been lower. All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company, that is intended to be a funding vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by the separate accounts of life insurance companies. The fund’s investment objective is to match the total return of the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index.The Dreyfus Corporation (“Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s manager and Mellon Equity Associates (“Mellon Equity”), an affiliate of Dreyfus, serves as the fund’s index manager. Dreyfus is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank, N.A., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation.

Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge.The fund is authorized to issue 400 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Initial shares (250 million shares authorized) and Service shares (150 million shares authorized). Initial shares are subject to a shareholder services fee and Service shares are subject to a distribution fee. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the distribution plan and shareholder services plan and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities (including financial futures) 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. Effective April 14, 2003, the fund began pricing securities traded on the NASDAQ stock market using the NASDAQ official closing price. Securities not listed on an exchange

30


or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Securities for which there are no such valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Directors.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, amortization of discount and premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

The fund may lend securities to qualified institutions.At originations, all loans are secured by cash collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan will be maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by Dreyfus as shown in the fund’s Statement of Investments.The fund will be entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund would bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.

(c) Repurchase agreements: The fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the fund, through its custodian and sub-custodian, takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during the fund’s holding period.This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the fund’s holding period. The value of the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. In the event of

The Fund

31


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

a counter party default, the fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the fund in the event the fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the fund seeks to assert its rights.The Manager, acting under the supervision of the Board of Directors, reviews the value of the collateral and the cred-itworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the fund enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are declared and paid on a quarterly basis. 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 incomes tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

At December 31, 2003, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $634,635 accumumulated, capital losses $337,068,518 and unrealized appreciation $565,163,269.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December 31, 2003. If not applied, $309,578,875 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2010 and $27,489,643 expires in fiscal 2011.

32


The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, were as follows: ordinary income $51,178,951 and $49,572,844, respectively.

During the period ended December 31, 2003, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $180,915, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $185,804 and decreased paid-in capital by $4,889. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings.

The average daily amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facility during the period ended December 31, 2003 was approximately $72,000, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.69%.

NOTE 3—Management Fee, Index Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a Management Agreement with Dreyfus, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .245 of 1% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, and is payable monthly. Dreyfus has agreed to pay Mellon Equity a monthly index-management fee at the annual rate of .095 of 1% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Dreyfus has undertaken from January 1, 2003 until such time as they give shareholders at least 180 days notice to the contrary that if any full fiscal year the fund’s aggregate expenses exclusive of brokerage commissions, Rule 12b-1 fees, transaction fees and extraordinary expenses, exceed an annual rate of .40 of 1% of the fund’s average daily net assets, the fund may deduct from the payments to be made to

The Fund 33

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 December 31, 2003, amounted to $115,911,868 and $94,291,251, 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. Typically, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses.When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.These investments require initial margin deposits with a broker, which consist of cash or cash equivalents, up to approximately 10% of the contract amount.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 December 31, 2003 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

At December 31, 2003, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $3,544,517,600; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $565,163,269 consisting of $1,098,847,109 gross unrealized appreciation and $533,683,840 gross unrealized depreciation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Dreyfus Stock Index Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments and financial futures, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects the financial position of Dreyfus Stock Index Fund (the “Fund”) at December 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities owned at December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
