LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

This semiannual report for Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. covers the six-month period from January 1, 2004, through June 30, 2004. 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.

Although the U.S. economy increasingly showed signs of sustainable growth during the first half of 2004, most major stock-market indices generally ended the reporting period only slightly higher than where they began.The positive effects of rising corporate earnings were largely offset by uncertainty related to the situation in Iraq, renewed inflationary pressures and potentially higher interest rates. In fact, on the last day of the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term rates in what many analysts believe is the first in a series of gradual increases.

To many investors, the move to a less accommodative monetary policy marks the beginning of a new phase in the economic cycle. At times such as these, when market conditions are in a period of transition, we believe it is especially important for you to stay in close contact with your financial advisor, who can help you position your portfolio in a way that is designed to respond to the challenges and opportunities of today’s changing investment environment.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

Stephen E. Canter

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer The Dreyfus Corporation

July 15, 2004

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Thomas Durante, Portfolio Manager

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

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. produced total returns of 3.33% for its Initial shares and 3.18% 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 3.44% for the same period.2,3

The U.S.stock market was sluggish during much of the reporting period, as the beneficial effects of rising corporate earnings were offset by concerns regarding higher short-term interest rates and renewed inflationary pressures.The difference between the fund’s and S&P 500 Index’s returns was primarily the result of transaction costs and other operating expenses that are not 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.

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.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

Stock prices rose only modestly during the first half of 2004 as investors grew increasingly concerned about the potential effects on corporate earnings of higher interest rates, renewed inflationary pressures and ongoing geopolitical instability.These concerns became more manifest in early April when the U.S. Department of Labor released statistics showing unexpected strength in labor markets and energy prices surged higher. In an effort to forestall a potential acceleration of inflation, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) raised short-term interest rates to 1.25% on June 30. However, the Fed’s move was widely anticipated by investors in the weeks before it was formally implemented.

Despite the market’s lackluster performance, the reporting period was characterized by a rotation in market leadership away from smaller, lower-quality businesses and toward larger, higher-quality companies with strong cash flows, healthy dividends and products that appeal to consumers and businesses in fast-growing markets worldwide. These types of stocks produced relatively strong returns during the reporting period, as evidenced by gains posted by such well-known multinational companies as Procter & Gamble, Gillette, PepsiCo, Colgate-Palmolive, Kimberly-Clark and Hershey Foods.

Property-and-casualty insurance companies, such as American International Group and Hartford Financial Services Group, also benefited from positive cash flows. Few major insurance claims since September 11, 2001, coupled with higher premiums, enabled these companies to post higher earnings.

Oil stocks made the largest positive contribution to the fund’s returns. Crude oil prices reached record highs as a growing global economy produced rising demand for a limited supply of energy. Almost all of the energy-related stocks contained in the S&P 500 Index gained value during the reporting period.

On the other hand, media stocks generally hindered the fund’s performance. Broadcasters and other entertainment-related business suffered amid lower advertising revenues and the emergence of technologies

4


that allow consumers to avoid commercials. Many advertisers have responded by purchasing banners and pop-up ads on popular Internet sites, such as Yahoo! and eBay, both of which are part of the S&P 500 Index and fared relatively well during the first half of 2004. Semiconductor stocks also lagged the averages, primarily due to the eroding effects on profits of costs associated with research and development activities and investments in new plants.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

As an index fund, our strategy is to attempt to replicate the returns of the S&P 500 Index.Accordingly, as of June 30, 2004, the percentage of the fund’s assets invested in each industry closely approximated its representation in the S&P 500 Index. 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.

July 15, 2004

The fund is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by insurance companies. Individuals may not purchase shares of the fund 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 fund 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 fund 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 fund’s returns would have been lower.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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 Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”).

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. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The 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.

28


(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities (including financial futures) are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sale price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. Bid price is used when no asked price is available.When markets quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the fund’s Board. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts.

(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 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

The Fund 29


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.

(d) 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 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. Dreyfus, 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.

(e) 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.

30


Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with incomes tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $337,068,518 available for federal income tax purposes 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.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, was as follows: ordinary income $51,178,951. 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 June 30, 2004, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

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

The Fund 31


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

annual rate of .095 of 1% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Dreyfus has undertaken from January 1, 2004 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 Dreyfus, or Dreyfus will bear, such excess expense. During the period ended June 30, 2004, there was no expense reimbursement pursuant to the undertaking.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Service shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares, for servicing and/or maintaining Service shares shareholder accounts and for advertising and marketing for Service shares.The Plan provides payments to be made at an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the Service shares average daily net assets.The Distributor may make payments to Participating Insurance Companies and brokers and dealers acting as principal underwriter for their variable insurance products.The fees payable under the Plan are payable without regard to actual expenses incurred. During the period ended June 30, 2004, Service shares were charged $421,252 pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Initial shares reimburses the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the Initial shares’ average daily net assets for certain allocated expenses with respect to servicing and/or maintaining Initial shares shareholder accounts.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended June 30, 2004, the fund was charged $551 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

32


The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consists of: management fees $833,817, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $78,860, shareholder services plan fees $1,000 and transfer agency per account fees $202.

(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 June 30, 2004, amounted to $132,325,469 and $30,890,737, 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 June 30, 2004 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

At June 30, 2004, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $746,050,878, consisting of $1,189,192,089 gross unrealized appreciation and $443,141,211 gross unrealized depreciation.

The Fund 33


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

At June 30, 2004, 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—Legal Matters:

Two class actions (which have been consolidated) have been filed against Mellon Financial and Mellon Bank, N.A., and Dreyfus and Founders Asset Management LLC (the “Investment Advisers”), and the directors of all or substantially all of the Dreyfus funds, alleging that the Investment Advisers improperly used assets of the Dreyfus funds, in the form of directed brokerage commissions and 12b-1 fees, to pay brokers to promote sales of Dreyfus funds,and that the use of fund assets to make these payments was not properly disclosed to investors.The complaints further allege that the directors breached their fiduciary duties to fund shareholders under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and at common law. The complaints seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the funds’ contracts with the Investment Advisers, an accounting of all fees paid, and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Dreyfus and the Dreyfus funds believe the allegations to be totally without merit and will defend the actions vigorously.

Additional lawsuits arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the defendants in the future. Neither Dreyfus nor the Dreyfus funds believe that any of the pending actions will have a material adverse effect on the Dreyfus funds or Dreyfus’ ability to perform its contracts with the Dreyfus funds.
