Stock Index Fund 

A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007.

After an extended period of steady gains, turmoil in U.S. credit markets over the summer of 2007 has led to heightened volatility in many international equity markets. Nonetheless, fundamentals in the global economy have remained relatively robust, particularly in the “Greater China” region, and recent rate cuts in the United States helped to sustain market rebounds in many regions of the world.

While we expect the global expansion to continue, it probably will do so at a slower rate as U.S. consumer spending moderates and as some high-flying emerging markets, notably China, take steps to reduce unsustainably high growth rates by tightening their respective monetary policies. However, the U.S. dollar has declined against most major currencies throughout most of the reporting period, making investments denominated in foreign currencies more valuable for U.S. residents. Lastly, a stubborn U.S. trade deficit and stronger economic growth in overseas markets continue to attract global capital away from U.S. markets and toward those with higher potential returns.As always, we encourage you to discuss these developments with your financial advisor, who can help you make any adjustments that may be right for your portfolio.

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 Managers.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Thomas F. Eggers

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007, as provided by Susan Ellison, Richard A. Brown and Karen Q.Wong, Portfolio Managers

Please note, effective April 23, 2007, Richard A. Brown and Karen Q. Wong joined Ms. Ellison as co-primary portfolio managers of the fund.

Fund and Market Performance Overview

International stock markets continued to achieve robust gains in an environment of strong global economic growth, intensifying mergers-and-acquisitions activity and favorable business conditions. In this environment, the fund’s benchmark achieved positive absolute returns in all of the 21 countries in which it invests.The difference in returns between the fund and the Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and operating expenses.

For the period from November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007, Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund produced a total return of 24.40% .1This compares with a 24.91% total return for the fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe,Australasia, Far East Free Index (the “MSCI EAFE Free Index” or the “Index”), during the same period.2

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to match the performance of the MSCI EAFE Free Index, a broadly diversified, international index composed of approximately 1,100 stocks that trade in 21 major markets outside the United States. The fund attempts to match the Index’s return before fees and expenses by aligning the portfolio composition with the composition of the MSCI EAFE Free Index.The fund also invests in securities that represent the market as a whole, such as stock index futures, and manages its exposure to foreign currencies so that the fund’s currency profile matches the currency makeup of the MSCI EAFE Free Index.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

International Equities Advanced Despite Bouts of Volatility

International equity markets posted generally strong returns during the reporting period, with gains fueled by corporate restructurings and robust mergers-and-acquisitions activity throughout much of Europe as well as robust global demand for energy and industrial commodities. High levels of business confidence, positive earnings reports and favorable economic growth forecasts in most countries also supported stock prices. Japan proved to be the laggard of the reporting period, as the country continued to struggle with economic issues despite efforts to reform its financial systems. In addition, for a relatively brief period over the summer, international stocks encountered heightened volatility, largely due to difficulties in the U.S. subprime mortgage sector and the subsequent repricing of risk in other financial markets. By late August, international investors appeared to have regained their footing,and international equity markets began to rebound.

Some of the Index’s better returns stemmed from its holdings in Finland, Hong Kong, Norway, Singapore and Australia. Conversely, Ireland and Japan were among the Index’s laggards for the reporting period. From a market sector standpoint, the multi-industry, raw materials, utilities and capital goods areas ranked among the top contributors to the Index’s return.On the other hand,the health care and banking areas were among the Index’s more lackluster performers. However, even the worst relative performers provided positive absolute returns.

The market’s gains were fueled by a variety of individual companies, including several that more than tripled in value over the reporting period. Notable winners included Australia’s Fortescue Metals Group Limited, an iron ore mining firm; Cosco Corporation, a dry bulk shipper in Singapore; Leighton Holdings Limited, an engineering firm that specializes in building infrastructures throughout Australia and Asia; Tencent Holdings Limited, one of China’s leading Internet service providers;WorleyParsons Corporation, a designer of energy and chemical plants; Denmark’s Vestas Wind Systems, a manufacturer of wind turbines for electricity generation; Mitsumi Electric, a Japanese electronic components distributor; Renewable Energy, a Norwegian solar energy

company; and the Hong Kong Exchange and Singapore Exchange, both of which gained value due to increased trading activities.

On the other hand, disappointments during the reporting period stemmed primarily from companies located in Japan and the United Kingdom. In Japan, laggards included Casio Computer, the consumer electronics firm; The Goodwill Group, which provides human resources outsourcing to the Goodwill family of companies; and Tokyo Seimitsu, the leading manufacturer of semiconductor equipment and precision measuring instruments. In the United Kingdom, the Index’s most notable declines included The Rank Group Ltd., which owns hospitality and leisure businesses around the world;Tate & Lyle, one of the world’s largest sugar producers; and DSG International, Britain’s largest electronics retailer.

Index Funds Offer Diversification Benefits

An as index fund, we attempt to replicate the returns of the MSCI EAFE Free Index by closely approximating the composition of the MSCI EAFE Free Index. In our view, one of the greatest benefits of an index fund is that it offers a broadly diversified investment vehicle that can help investors manage risks by limiting the impact on the overall portfolio of unexpected losses in any single country, industry group or holding. In addition, the fund’s investments are not affected by any individual’s preference for one country, market or security over another. Instead, the fund employs a passive management approach in which all investment decisions are based on the composition of the MSCI EAFE Free Index.

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 International Stock Index Fund from May 1, 2007 to October 31, 2007. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

assuming actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2007 

 
Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 3.15 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,080.10 

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, 2007 

 
Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 3.06 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,022.18 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .60%, multiplied by the average account value over the 
period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Index Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering three series including the fund.The fund’s investment objective is to match the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (Free) Index (EAFE).The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. On July 1, 2007, Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”) and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. merged, forming The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”). As part of this transaction, Dreyfus became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which requires 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 at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no

The Fund 47


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered open-ended investment companies that are not traded on exchange are valued at their net asset value.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the fund’s Board of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the fund’s Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price on the principle exchange.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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.

48


(b) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Such gains and losses are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on debt securities.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A. (“Mellon Bank”), an affiliate of the Manager, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy at origination all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. It is the fund’s policy that collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager. The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transac-tion.Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.

The Fund 49


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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

(e) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income 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. Accordingly, no provision for income tax is required.

The 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.

At October 31, 2007, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $11,676,659,

50


accumulated capital losses $1,378,073 and unrealized appreciation $160,724,977.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2007. If not applied $599,433 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2011 and $778,640 expires in fiscal 2012.

The tax characters of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, were as follows: ordinary income $7,690,026 and $4,095,715, respectively.

During the period ended October 31, 2007, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for passive foreign investment companies and foreign currency gains and losses, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $768,842 and decreased net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share 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. During the period ended October 31, 2007, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .35% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Manager has agreed

The Fund 51


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

to pay all the expenses of the fund, except management fees, brokerage commissions, taxes, commitment fees, interest, Shareholder Services Plan fees, fees and expenses of non-interested Board Members (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Board Members (including counsel fees). Each Board member also serves as a Board Member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex (collectively, the “Fund Group”). Currently, the Company and 13 other funds (comprised of 40 portfolios) in the Dreyfus Family of Funds pay each Board member their respective allocated portion of an annual retainer fee of $85,000, and an attendance fee of $10,000 for each regularly scheduled Board meetings, an attendance fee of $2,000 for each separate in-person committee meetings that not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and an attendance fee of $1,000 for each Board meeting and separate committee meetings attended that are conducted by telephone.The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation and the Audit Committee Chairman receives an additional $15,000 per annum. The Company also reimburses each Board member for travel and out of pocket expenses in connection with attending Board or committee meetings. Subject to the Company’s Emeritus Program Guidelines, Emeritus Board members, if any, receive 50% of the Company’s annual retainer fee and per meeting fee paid at the time the Board member achieves emeritus status. All Board fees are allocated among the funds in the Fund Group in proportion to each fund’s relative net assets.

(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund pays the Distributor for the provision of certain services, a fee at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other indus-

52


try professional) in respect of these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2007, the fund was charged $1,105,612 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $159,368, and shareholder services plan fees $113,834.

(c) A 2% redemption fee is charged and retained by the fund on certain shares redeemed within 60 days of purchase subject to exceptions described in the fund’s current prospectus. During the period ended October 31, 2007, redemption fees charged and received by the fund amounted to $28,462.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, forward currency exchange contracts and financial futures, during the period ended October 31, 2007, amounted to $131,747,704 and $14,348,857, respectively.

The fund may enter into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings and to settle foreign currency transactions.

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. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Contracts open as of October 31, 2007, are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

At October 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $411,386,884; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $160,545,265, consisting of $176,178,601 gross unrealized appreciation and $15,633,336 gross unrealized depreciation.

NOTE 5—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”), 300 Madison Avenue, 28th Floor, New York, New York 10017, an independent registered public accounting firm, was the independent registered public accounting firm for the fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.At meetings held on December 5, 2006, the Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees of the Company engaged Ernst & Young LLP to replace PWC as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company, effective upon the completion of services related to the audit of the 2006 financial statements of the Company.

During the Company’s past four fiscal years and any subsequent interim period: (i) no report on the Company's financial statements contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles; and (ii) there were no “disagreements” (as such term is used in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of PWC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED 
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

Shareholders and Board of Directors 
Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments and financial futures, of Dreyfus International Stock Index (one of the funds comprising Dreyfus Index Funds, Inc. as of October 31, 2007 and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended.These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statment of changes in net assets for the year ended October 31, 2006 and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods through October 31, 2006, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 14, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on the statement and financial highlights.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund at October 31, 2007, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007.

After a prolonged period of relative price stability, volatility has returned to the U.S. stock market.The third quarter of 2007 provided greater swings in stock prices than we’ve seen on a relative year-to-date basis, as the economic cycle matured and credit concerns spread from the sub-prime mortgage sector of the bond market to other areas of the equity and fixed-income markets. A high degree of leverage within parts of the financial system has made recent price fluctuations more intense than they might be otherwise.

In our view, these developments signaled a shift to a new phase of the credit cycle.Although we expect somewhat slower financial conditions in the aftermath of the credit crisis, lower short-term interest rates from the Federal Reserve Board should help keep credit available to borrowers and forestall a more severe economic downturn. In addition, robust global economic growth may continue to support earnings for many U.S.-based companies. Such market events may indicate that it’s a good time to review your portfolio with your financial advisor, who can help you evaluate your investments for a changing market environment.

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

For the period of November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007, as provided by Thomas Durante, CFA, Portfolio Manager

Fund and Market Performance Overview

U.S. stocks posted generally favorable returns during the reporting period, with gains fueled by rising mergers-and-acquisitions activity, strong corporate earnings, moderate economic growth and generally stable interest rates.The difference in returns between the fund and the S&P 500 Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in the S&P 500 Index’s results.

For the 12-month period from November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007, Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund produced a total return of 14.05% .1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, produced a 14.55% return for the same period.2,3

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to match the total return of the S&P 500 Index by generally investing in all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 Index in proportion to their respective weighting. Often considered a barometer for the stock market in general, the S&P 500 Index is made up of 500 widely held common stocks across 10 economic sectors. Each stock is weighted by its market capitalization; that is, larger companies have greater representation in the S&P 500 Index than smaller ones.The S&P 500 Index is dominated by large-cap, blue-chip stocks that comprise nearly 75% of total U.S. market capitalization.

Domestic Stocks With Ties to International Growth Flourished

U.S.stocks posted generally attractive returns during the reporting period despite growing pessimism late in the reporting period regarding the direction of the U.S. economy. In late February, a higher-than-expected

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

number of delinquencies and defaults among homeowners with sub-prime mortgages resulted in heightened market turbulence. By July, weakness in the sub-prime lending sector had spread to other areas of the financial markets, leading to a summer credit crunch in which investors sold riskier assets, including stocks.The Federal Reserve Board attempted to restore market liquidity and forestall a potential recession by reducing key short-term interest rates in August, September and October, which resulted in a sharp market rebound by the reporting period’s end.

The global economy remained robust, however, boosting the fortunes of companies with products needed for infrastructure construction in overseas markets, exporters that are well-positioned to serve a growing middle class of consumers in international markets and firms poised to improve their global competitiveness in light of the weaker U.S. dollar. For example, in the industrials sector, large exporters with ample exposure to the global economy fared well, including producers of heavy machinery, including earthmoving, agricultural, forestry and heating and air conditioning equipment.

Materials stocks also gained ground in an environment of strong global growth. Some of the S&P 500 Index’s stronger gains stemmed from steel, aluminum and copper producers. Specialty chemical companies benefited from rising demand for products that help farmers grow more crops by applying biotechnology and genomics to seeds and herbicides. The S&P 500 Index’s return also was bolstered by consumer staples stocks, where a tobacco giant, soft drink companies and fast-food chains all flourished due to substantial increases in international sales.

Energy stocks also fared well during the reporting period, including integrated energy producers and oil services providers. In many cases, these companies were able to offset the effects of volatile oil prices with more consistent results from their natural gas and chemicals divisions. In the information technology sector, several large integrated technology companies rallied on the strength of improved business-to-business sales. Manufacturers of personal computers and consumer electronics also gained value, primarily from new product launches and growing demand for wireless technologies.

Economic Woes Hurt Financial and Consumer Discretionary Stocks

While relatively few industry groups produced disappointing returns during the reporting period, the financials area proved to be a notable exception. Banks and brokerage firms faltered due to rising default rates on sub-prime consumer loans and weakness in the mortgage lending business. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) also sold off sharply during the reporting period due to weak housing markets. Other laggards included consumer discretionary stocks, where homebuilders, office supply superstores and retailers disappointed due to concerns over a slowdown in consumer spending.

Index Funds Offer Diversification Benefits

An as index fund, we attempt to replicate the returns of the S&P 500 Index by closely approximating the composition of the S&P 500 Index. In our view, one of the greatest benefits of an index fund is that it offers a broadly diversified investment vehicle that can help investors manage risks by limiting the impact on the overall portfolio of unexpected losses in any single industry group or holding. In addition, the fund’s investments are not affected by any individual’s preference for one market or security over another. Instead, the fund employs a passive management approach in which all investment decisions are based on the composition of the S&P 500 Index.

FUND PERFORMANCE
Source: Lipper Inc.
Past performance is not predictive of future performance.The fund’s performance shown in the graph and table does not
reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund on 10/31/97 to a
$10,000 investment made in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the “Index”) on that date.All
dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.
The fund’s performance shown in the line graph takes into account all applicable fees and expenses.The Index is a
widely accepted, unmanaged index of U.S. stock market performance and reflects the reinvestment of dividends daily.
The Index does not take into account charges, fees and other expenses. Further information relating to fund
performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the
prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

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 S&P 500 Index Fund from May 1, 2007 to October 31, 2007. 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, 2007

Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 2.59 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,052.70 

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, 2007

Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 2.55 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,022.68 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .50%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Index Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering three series including the fund.The fund’s investment objective is to match the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index. The Dreyfus Corporation (“the Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. On July 1, 2007, Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”) and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. merged, forming The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”).As part of this transaction, Dreyfus became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which requires 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 at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked

The Fund 29


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered open-ended investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the fund’s Board of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the fund’s Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price on the principal exchange.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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. Dividend

30

income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued, adjusted for, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on debt securities.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank N.A. (“Mellon Bank”), an affiliate of the Manager, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that at origination all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. It is the fund’s policy that collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is be maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager as shown in the fund’s Statement of Investments.The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction.Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended October 31, 2007, Mellon Bank earned $99,735, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

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

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gain, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Fund 31


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(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. Accordingly, no provision for income tax is required.

The 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.

At October 31, 2007, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $41,407,732, accumulated capital losses $9,745,815 and unrealized appreciation $1,507,664,453.

The accumulated capital loss carryover of $9,745,815 is available to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2007. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2015.

The tax characters of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, were as follows: ordinary income $50,050,073 and $44,603,659 and long-term capital gains $119,861,285 and $0, respectively.

During the period ended October 31, 2007, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for real estate investment trusts, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed

32

investment income-net by $640,249 and increased net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share 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 October 31, 2007, was approximately $96,600 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 5.75% .

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Manager has agreed to pay all the expenses of the fund, except management fees, brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, commitment fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees, fees and expenses of non-interested Board members (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fees in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Board members (including counsel fees). Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex (collectively, the “Fund Group”). Currently, the Company and 13 other funds (comprised of 40 portfolios) in the Dreyfus Family of Funds pay each Board member their respective allocated portion of an annual retainer of $85,000, and an attendance fee of $10,000 for each regularly scheduled Board meeting, an attendance fee of $2,000 for separate each in-person

The Fund 33


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

committee meeting that not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting, and an attendance fee of $1,000 for each Board meeting and separate committee meetings that are conducted by telephone. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation and the Audit Committee Chairman receives an additional $15,000 per annum. The Company also reimburses each Board member for travel and out of pocket expenses in connection with attending Board or committee meetings. Subject to the Company’s Emeritus Program Guidelines, Emeritus Board members, if any, receive 50% of the Company’s annual retainer fee and per meeting fee paid at the time the Board member achieves emeritus status. All Board fees are allocated among the funds in the Fund Group in proportion to each fund’s relative net assets.

(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund pays the Distributor for the provision of certain services a fee, at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period October 31, 2007, the fund was charged $9,322,247 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $801,847 and shareholder services plan fees $801,847.

(c) A 1% redemption fee is charged and retained by the fund on certain shares redeemed within 30 days of purchase subject to exceptions described in the fund’s current prospectus. During the period ended October 31, 2007, redemption fees charged and received by the fund amounted to $10,637. Effective December 1, 2007, the fund will no longer assess a redemption fee on shares that are reassessed or

34

exchanged before the end of the required holding period. The fund reserves the right to reimpose a redemption fee in the future.

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, 2007, amounted to $172,848,154 and $469,214,176, respectively.

The fund may invest in financial futures contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market. The fund is exposed to market risk as a result of changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments. Investments in financial futures require the fund to “mark to market” on a daily basis, which reflects the change in the market value of the contract at the close of each day’s trading. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses.When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.These investments require initial margin deposits with a broker, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Contracts open as of October 31, 2007, are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

At October 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,344,832,150; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $1,507,664,453, consisting of $1,693,293,981 gross unrealized appreciation and $185,629,528 gross unrealized depreciation.

NOTE 5—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”), 300 Madison Avenue, 28th Floor, New York, New York 10017, an independent registered public accounting firm, was the independent registered public accounting firm for the fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.At meet-

The Fund 35


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

ings held on December 5, 2006, the Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees of the Company engaged Ernst & Young LLP to replace PWC as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company, effective upon the completion of services related to the audit of the 2006 financial statements of the Company.

During the Company’s past four fiscal years and any subsequent interim period: (i) no report on the Company's financial statements contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles; and (ii) there were no “disagreements” (as such term is used in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of PWC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Directors Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments and financial futures, of Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund (one of the funds comprising Dreyfus Index Funds, Inc.) as of October 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended.These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended October 31, 2006, and the financial highlights for each of indicated periods through October 31, 2006, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 14, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on the statement and financial highlights.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from other were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund at October 31, 2007, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net asset and financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007.

After a prolonged period of relative price stability, volatility has returned to the U.S. stock market.The third quarter of 2007 provided greater swings in stock prices than we’ve seen on a relative year-to-date basis, as the economic cycle matured and credit concerns spread from the sub-prime mortgage sector of the bond market to other areas of the equity and fixed-income markets. A high degree of leverage within parts of the financial system has made recent price fluctuations more intense than they might be otherwise.

In our view, these developments signaled a shift to a new phase of the credit cycle.Although we expect somewhat slower financial conditions in the aftermath of the credit crisis, lower short-term interest rates from the Federal Reserve Board should help keep credit available to borrowers and forestall a more severe economic downturn. In addition, robust global economic growth may continue to support earnings for many U.S.-based companies. Such market events may indicate that it’s a good time to review your portfolio with your financial advisor, who can help you evaluate your investments for a changing market environment.

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

For the period of November 1, 2006, through October 31, 2007, as provided by Thomas Durante, CFA, Portfolio Manager

Fund and Market Performance Overview

U.S. small-cap stocks posted generally favorable returns during the reporting period, with gains fueled by rising mergers-and-acquisitions activity, strong corporate earnings and moderate economic growth. The difference in returns between the fund and its benchmark was primarily due to the fund’s sampling strategy, transaction costs and fund operating expenses.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2007, Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund produced a total return of 11.15% .1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 600 Index (the “S&P 600 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, produced a 11.55% return for the same period.2,3

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to match the total return of the S&P 600 Index by generally investing in a representative sample of the stocks listed in the S&P 600 Index. While the fund generally owns the vast majority of the stocks in the S&P 600 Index, some very small stocks may be excluded from the portfolio.The S&P 600 Index is composed of 600 domestic stocks across 10 economic sectors. Each stock is weighted by its market capitalization; that is, larger companies have greater representation in the S&P 600 Index than smaller ones. The fund may also use stock index futures as a substitute for the sale or purchase of stocks.

Small-Cap Stocks Continued to Advance Despite Sub-Prime Woes

Small-cap stocks posted generally attractive returns during the reporting period despite bouts of heightened market volatility. In late February, a higher-than-expected number of delinquencies and defaults among homeowners with sub-prime mortgages resulted in heightened market turbulence. By July, weakness in the sub-prime lending sector had spread

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

to other areas of the financial markets, leading investors to sell riskier assets, including stocks. The Federal Reserve Board attempted to promote greater market liquidity by reducing key short-term interest rates in August, September and October, which resulted in a sharp rebound for many small-cap equities by the reporting period’s end.

Some of the small-cap market’s stronger gains stemmed from companies with government contracts. In the industrials area, parts suppliers to the defense industry advanced relatively strongly, as armor companies benefited from sales of materials used in helicopters, missile nose cones and diesel engine components. Other winners in this industry group included engineering firms that provide planning, design and construction services to government, domestic and international clients.A number of machinery companies that sell cranes and related equipment to the construction, mining and marine industries also advanced, as did firms that manufacture pump products, compressors and fluid dispensing equipment.

The information technology area also achieved sharp gains due to increased homeland security activity. For example, some of the S&P 600 Index’s stronger gains stemmed from thermal imaging and obscurant-proof camera systems that detect heat and radiation as well as makers of navigation systems and surveillance equipment used in homeland security, police and fire efforts. Other winners included companies that help other businesses improve productivity through performance management systems and firms with software technologies intent on streamlining the expense recordkeeping of the business traveler.

Gains for the S&P 600 Index also were particularly robust in the metals and mining segment of the materials sector. Steel, iron, aluminum and titanium stocks posted solid gains, in part due to robust demand for the commodities and construction materials needed to build industrial infrastructures in the world’s emerging markets. Energy stocks also fared well, with particular strength among drillers and companies that manufacture and supply parts to the drilling industry, including special alloys for tubular goods and sub-sea control systems.

4


Finally, a host of health care companies achieved attractive gains, including producers of equipment used to diagnose and treat respiratory and sleeping disorders and the makers of computer-aided mammography systems.

On the other hand,a number of the S&P 600 Index’s commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage lenders and insurance title companies languished during the reporting period due to the troubled housing market. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) also sold off sharply amid housing-related concerns. Other laggards included consumer discretionary stocks, where homebuilders, apparel retailers and restaurants disappointed due to concerns regarding slower consumer spending.

Offering a Diversified Portfolio of Midcap Stocks

As an index portfolio, our strategy is to attempt to replicate the returns of the S&P 600 Index by investing in a representative sample of the mid-cap stocks listed in the S&P 600 Index. The fund offers a diversified investment vehicle that can help investors manage the risks of investing in midcap stocks by limiting the impact on the overall portfolio of unexpected losses in any single industry group or holding.

Expenses paid per $1,000     $ 2.55 
Ending value (after expenses)    $1,022.68 

Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of .50%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Index Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering three series including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to match the performance of the Standard & Poor’s SmallCap 600 Index.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. On July 1, 2007, Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”) and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. merged, forming The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”). As part of this transaction, Dreyfus became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which requires 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 at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used

The Fund 31


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered open-end investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the fund’s Board of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the funds Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price on the principal exchange.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on debt securities.

32


Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A, (“Mellon Bank”) an affiliate of the Manager, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that at origination all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. It is the fund’s policy that collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager.The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the leading transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner. During the period ended October 31, 2007, Mellon Bank earned $295,261, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

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

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, if any, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income tax is required.

The Fund 33


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The 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.

At October 31, 2007, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $10,702,733, undistributed capital gains $75,032,215 and unrealized appreciation $224,162,606.

The tax characters of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, were as follows: ordinary income $4,514,957 and $5,773,253 and long-term capital gains $35,949,561 and $6,985,754, respectively.

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 October 31,2007,was approximately $241,300 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 5.69% .

34


NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Manager has agreed to pay all the expenses of the fund, except management fees, brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, commitment fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees, fees and expenses of non-interested Board members (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Manager is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Board members (including counsel fees). Currently, the Company and 13 other funds (comprised of 40 portfolios) in the Dreyfus Family of Funds pay each Board member their respective allocated portion of an annual retainer of $85,000, and an attendance fee of $10,000 for each regularly scheduled Board meeting, an attendance fee of $2,000 for each separate in-person committee meeting that is not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting, and an attendance fee of $1,000 for each Board meeting and separate committee meetings that are conducted by telephone. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation and the Audit Committee Chairman receives an additional $15,000 per annum. The Company also reimburses each Board member for travel and out of pocket expenses in connection with attending Board or committee meetings. Subject to the Company’s Emeritus Program Guidelines, Emeritus Board Members, if any, receive 50% of the Company’s annual retainer fee and per meeting fee paid at the time the Board member achieves emeritus status. All Board fees are allocated among the funds in the Fund Group in proportion to each fund’s relative net assets.

(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund pays the Distributor for the provision of certain services at the annual rate of .25% of the

The Fund 35


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

value of the fund’s average daily net assets.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, bank or other financial institution) in respect of these services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2007, the fund was charged an aggregate of $2,413,767 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $212,033 and shareholders services plan fees $212,033.

(c) A 2% redemption fee is charged and retained by the fund on certain shares redeemed within 60 days of purchase subject to exceptions described in the fund’s current prospectus. During the period ended October 31, 2007, redemption fees charged and received by the fund amounted to $20,479. Effective December 1, 2007, the fund will no longer assess a redemption fee on shares that are reassessed or exchanged before the end of the required holding period. The fund reserves the right to reimpose a redemption fee in the future.

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, 2007, amounted to $264,054,597 and $240,043,570, 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

36


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, 2007, are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

At October 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,103,935,365; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $224,162,606, consisting of $300,082,146 gross unrealized appreciation and $75,919,540 gross unrealized depreciation.

NOTE 5—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”), 300 Madison Avenue, 28th Floor, New York, New York 10017, an independent registered public accounting firm, was the independent registered public accounting firm for the fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.At meetings held on December 5, 2006, the Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees of the Company engaged Ernst & Young LLP to replace PWC as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company, effective upon the completion of services related to the audit of the 2006 financial statements of the Company.

During the Company’s past four fiscal years and any subsequent interim period: (i) no report on the Company’s financial statements contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles; and (ii) there were no “disagreements” (as such term is used in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of PWC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the dis-agreement(s) in connection with its report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED 
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

Shareholders and Board of Directors Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including statement of investments and financial futures, of Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund (one of the funds comprising Dreyfus Index Funds, Inc.) as of October 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended.These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended October 31, 2006 and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods through October 31, 2006, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 14, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on the statements and financial highlights.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received.We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund at October 31, 2007, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

There have been no amendments to, or waivers in connection with, the Code of Ethics during the period covered by this Report.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Registrant's Board has determined that David P.

Feldman is "independent" as defined by the SEC for purposes of audit committee financial expert determinations.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

(a) Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years (the "Reporting Periods") for professional services rendered by the Registrant's principal accountant (the "Auditor") for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the Auditor in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $120,000 in 2006 and $123,000 in 2007.

(b) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services by the Auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant's financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item 4 were $-0- in 2006 and $2,414 in 2007. These services consisted of (i) security counts required by Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for non-audit assurance and related services by the Auditor to the Registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-investment adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant ("Service Affiliates"), that were reasonably related to the performance of the annual audit of the Service Affiliate, which required pre-approval by the Audit Committee were $-0- in 2006 and $-0- in 2007.

Note: For the second paragraph in each of (b) through (d) of this Item 4, certain of such services were not pre-approved prior to May 6, 2003, when such services were required to be pre-approved. On and after May 6, 2003, 100% of all services provided by the Auditor were pre-approved as required. For comparative purposes, the fees shown assume that all such services were pre-approved, including services that were not pre-approved prior to the compliance date of the pre-approval requirement.

(c) Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by the Auditor for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning ("Tax Services") were $9,900 in 2006 and $10,500 in 2007. These services consisted of (i) review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax returns; (ii) U.S. federal, state and local tax planning, advice and assistance regarding statutory, regulatory or


administrative developments, (iii) tax advice regarding tax qualification matters and/or treatment of various financial instruments held or proposed to be acquired or held, and (iv) determination of Passive Foreign Investment Companies (as applicable).

The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for Tax Services by the Auditor to Service Affiliates which required pre-approval by the Audit Committee were $-0- in 2006 and $-0- in 2007.

(d) All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for products and services provided by the Auditor, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item, were $-0- in 2006 and $-0- in 2007.

The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for Non-Audit Services by the Auditor to Service Affiliates, other than the services reported in paragraphs (b) through (c) of this Item, which required pre-approval by the Audit Committee were $-0- in 2006 and $-0- in 2007.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Registrant's Audit Committee has established policies and procedures (the "Policy") for pre-approval (within specified fee limits) of the Auditor's engagements for non-audit services to the Registrant and Service Affiliates without specific case-by-case consideration. Pre-approval considerations include whether the proposed services are compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence. Pre-approvals pursuant to the Policy are considered annually.

Non-Audit Fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the Reporting Periods were $90,000 in 2006 and $1,627,514 in 2007.

Auditor Independence. The Registrant's Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence.
