Dreyfus Florida Intermediate 

Municipal Bond Fund 

The  Fund 

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Florida Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, covering the six-month period from January 1, 2005, through June 30, 2005. 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, Scott Sprauer.

The first half of 2005 proved to be an unusual time for fixed-income securities,including municipal bonds.Contrary to historical norms,yields of longer-term securities fell — and their prices rose — even as the Federal Reserve Board attempted to forestall inflationary pressures by raising short-term interest rates. Signs of potential economic weakness, a strengthening U.S. dollar and robust investor demand for a limited supply of tax-exempt securities appear to have fueled the market’s rally.

Our economists currently expect the U.S. economy to continue to grow over the foreseeable future without significant new inflationary pressures. These factors may create new opportunities and challenges for municipal bond investors, potentially leading to market conditions that could affect the various sectors of the U.S. fixed-income market in different ways. As always, we encourage you to discuss these and other matters with your financial advisor.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Scott Sprauer, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Florida Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund 

perform relative to its benchmark? 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the fund achieved a total return of 1.49% .¹ The Lehman Brothers 7-Year Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 1.61% for the same period.² In addition, the fund is reported in the Lipper Florida Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category. Over the reporting period, the average total return for all funds reported in the Lipper category was 1.25% .³

Intermediate-term municipal bonds remained surprisingly stable during the reporting period, even as short-term interest rates rose. The fund produced a higher return than its Lipper category average, primarily due to strong income from its core holdings of seasoned, higher-coupon bonds. The fund produced a lower return than that of its benchmark, however, primarily because the Index contains bonds from many states, not just Florida, and does not reflect fund fees and expenses.

What is the fund’s investment approach?

The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds issued by the state of Florida, its political subdivisions, authorities and corporations, that provide income exempt from federal income tax and which enable the fund’s shares to be exempt from the Florida intangible personal property tax.The fund generally maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity between three and 10 years.

While the fund generally intends to invest only in investment-grade securities or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus, it does have the ability to invest up to 20% of its net assets in bonds rated

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

below investment grade (“high-yield” or “junk” bonds) or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.

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

What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?

Signs of stronger economic growth and higher inflation caused investors in early 2005 to worry that the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) might raise interest rates to a higher level and at a faster pace than they previously expected. However, the Fed continued to raise short-term interest rates gradually at each of four meetings of its Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) during the reporting period, driving the overnight federal funds rate to 3.25% by the reporting period’s end.

Despite rising interest rates, prices of intermediate-term bonds remained surprisingly stable.Although Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan called the resilience of longer-term bonds a “conundrum,” it appears that robust demand from foreign investors, including Asian central banks, helped support their prices.

The fund also benefited from improving fiscal conditions in Florida. In fact, many analysts consider Florida’s economy to rank among the strongest in the nation. The state’s conservative fiscal policies and

substantial budget reserves have earned it a “triple-A” credit rating from the Standard and Poor’s rating agency.Yet, the supply of newly issued Florida securities has remained ample, and investor demand has continued to be relatively robust.

In this market environment, we made few changes to the fund’s composition because its existing holdings generally provided higher levels of tax-exempt income than were available from newly issued securi-ties.When existing holdings matured or were redeemed early by their issuers, we typically reinvested in callable, premium-priced bonds, which historically have held up well during market downturns. In addition, we generally chose maturities that enabled us to maintain broad diversification along the fund’s maturity spectrum.As a result of this strategy, the fund’s average duration — a measure of sensitivity to changing interest rates — remained in a range that was roughly in line with, to slightly longer than, industry averages.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

Recently mixed economic signals have suggested that the economic cycle may be moving to a new, slower-growth phase.While we believe that the Fed may be approaching the end of its moves toward a less accommodative monetary policy, it likely will continue to raise the federal funds rate at one or more of its upcoming FOMC meetings. Accordingly, we have continued to maintain an emphasis on higher-quality, callable, premium-priced bonds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Florida Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment com-pany.The fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”). Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, 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 may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

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

16

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

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

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

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

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

The Fund 17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 were as follows: tax exempt income $8,331,786 and long-term capital gains $367,314. 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, 2005, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With 

Affiliates: 

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager,the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .60 of 1% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

(b) Under the fund’s Shareholder Services Plan, the fund reimburses the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets for certain allocated expenses of providing personal services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts.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. During the period ended June 30, 2005, the fund was charged of $57,536 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended June 30, 2005, the fund was charged $36,954 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

18

During the period ended June 30, 2005, the fund paid $1,998 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $101,385, chief compliance officer fees $1,998 and transfer agency per account fees $12,119.

(c) 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.

(d) A 1% redemption fee is charged and retained by the fund on certain shares redeemed within thirty days following the date of issuance, including redemptions made through the use of the fund’s exchange privilege.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended June 30, 2005, amounted to $19,252,794 and $32,438,613, respectively.

At June 30,2005,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:

In early 2004, two purported class and derivative actions were filed against Mellon Financial, Mellon Bank, N.A., Dreyfus, Founders Asset Management LLC, and certain directors of the Dreyfus Funds and the Dreyfus Founders Funds (together, the “Funds”) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. In September 2004, plaintiffs served a Consolidated Amended Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) on behalf of a purported class of all persons who acquired interests in any of the Funds between January 30, 1999 and November 17, 2003, and derivatively on behalf of the Funds.The Amended Complaint in the newly styled In re Dreyfus Mutual Funds Fee Litigation also named the Distributor, Premier Mutual Fund

The Fund 19

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

Services, Inc. and two additional Fund directors as defendants and alleges violations of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law and common-law claims. Plaintiffs seek to recover allegedly improper and excessive Rule 12b-1 and advisory fees allegedly charged to the Funds for marketing and distribution services. More specifically, plaintiffs claim, among other things, that 12b-1 fees and directed brokerage were improperly used to pay brokers to recommend the Funds over other funds, and that such payments were not disclosed to investors. In addition, plaintiffs assert that economies of scale and soft-dollar benefits were not passed on to the Funds. Plaintiffs further allege that 12b-1 fees were improperly charged to certain of the Funds that were closed to new investors.The Amended Complaint seeks compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the advisory contracts, and an accounting and restitution of any unlawful fees, as well as an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. As noted, some of the claims in this litigation are asserted derivatively on behalf of the Funds that have been named as nominal defendants. With respect to such derivative claims, no relief is sought against the Funds. Dreyfus believes the allegations to be totally without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously. In November 2004, all named defendants moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint in whole or substantial part. Briefing was completed in May 2005.

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 Funds believe that any of the pending actions will have a material adverse effect on the Funds or Dreyfus’ ability to perform its contract with the Funds.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW
AND APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S
M A N A G E M E N T A G R E E M E N T	(Unaudited)

At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Trustees held on May 24, 2005, the Board considered the re-approval of the fund’s Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) for an additional one-year term, pursuant to which the Manager provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services.The Board members who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Manager.

Analysis of Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the Fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to the Management Agreement. The presentation included a detailed summary of the services provided to Dreyfus-managed mutual funds by each business unit within the Manager.The Manager’s representatives reviewed the fund’s distribution of accounts and the relationships the Manager has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each.The Manager’s representatives noted the diversity of the distribution channels of the fund as well as the distribution of other funds in the Dreyfus complex, and the Manager’s corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel.The Board also reviewed the number of shareholder accounts in the fund, as well as the fund’s asset size.

The Board members also considered the Manager’s research and portfolio management capabilities and that the Manager also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board members also considered the Manager’s extensive administrative, accounting, and compliance infrastructure.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance and expense ratios, placing significant emphasis on comparisons to a group of comparable funds and the relevant Lipper category averages.The group of comparable funds was previously approved by the Board for this purpose, and was prepared using a Board-approved selection methodology that was based, in part, on selecting non-affiliated funds reported in the same Lipper category as the fund. The Board members noted that the fund’s total return performance for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2005 was higher than the fund’s comparison group averages and Lipper category averages and for period ended March 31, 2005 was higher than the Lipper category average but lower than the comparison group average for such period. The Board members also noted that the fund’s performance based on annualized income yields was higher than the comparison group and Lipper category averages for the one-, three-, five-and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2005.The Board members also discussed the fund’s management fee and expense ratio, noting that the fund’s management fee was lower than that of most of the funds in the comparison group, and also noting the expense ratio was lower than the applicable Lipper category average, but slightly higher than the comparison group average for total expenses.

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

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Manager’s representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Manager and the method used to determine such expenses and profit. The Board received and considered information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding Dreyfus’ approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire Dreyfus mutual fund complex. The information also analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge

22

as fund assets grow.The Board members evaluated the analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund’s portfolio.

It was noted that the Board members should consider the Manager’s profitability with respect to the fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fee under the Management Agreement bears a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by the Manager, including the nature, extent and quality of such services and that a discussion of economies of scale are predicated on increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been decreasing, the possibility that the Manager may have realized any economies of scale would be less. It also was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was within ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the fund’s overall performance and generally superior service levels provided.

At the conclusion of these discussions, each Trustee expressed the opinion that he or she had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on their discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations.

•	The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the ser-
	vices provided by the Manager are adequate and appropriate.
•	The Board was satisfied with the fund’s overall performance.
•	The Board concluded that the fee paid by the fund to the Manager
	was reasonable in light of comparative performance and expense
	and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided and
	profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the
	Manager from its relationship with the fund.

T H E F U N D ’ S M A N A G E M E N T A G R E E M E N T ( U n a u d i t e d ) ( c o n t i n u e d ) 

•	The Board determined that, to the extent that the fund realizes
	material economies of scale, the Board would seek to do so.

The Board members considered these conclusions and determinations, along with the information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year, and, without any one factor being dispositive, the Board determined that re-approval of the fund’s Management Agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
