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, 2006, through June 30, 2006.

After a long period of remarkable resilience, municipal bonds and other fixed-income securities encountered heightened volatility during the first half of 2006, as investors reacted to each new release of economic data or comment from members of the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”). The economic data often painted a contradictory picture, sometimes suggesting that inflationary pressures were increasing and, at other times, seeming to point to milder economic growth. The Fed also sent mixed signals as investors attempted to determine whether the U.S. central bank might pause in its tightening campaign after seventeen consecutive interest-rate hikes since June 2004.

In the judgment of our Chief Economist, Richard Hoey, the U.S. economy may be moving into a more mature, slower-growth phase. However, a number of economic uncertainties remain. Indicators to watch in the months ahead include the outlook for inflation, the extent of softness in the housing market, the impact of slower economic growth on consumer spending, additional changes in interest rates from the Fed, and the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to other major currencies. As always, we encourage you to discuss these and other investment-related issues with your financial advisor, who can help you prepare for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

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

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, 2006, the fund achieved a total return of –0.16% .¹ In comparison, the Lehman Brothers 7-Year Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 0.04% for the same period.²

Rising short-term interest rates and intensifying inflation concerns began to erode municipal bond prices during the second half of the reporting period. The fund produced a lower return than that of its benchmark, which we attribute primarily to fund fees and expenses, to which the Index is not subject.

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 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

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

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?

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) implemented four more increases in the overnight federal funds rate over the first half of 2006, driving it to 5.25% .While longer-term bond yields remained relatively stable during the first quarter of the year, they began to rise more steeply in the second quarter, eroding bond prices, as mounting inflationary pressures led to concerns that the Fed might raise short-term rates more than previously expected. However, for the reporting period overall, short-term rates climbed somewhat more sharply than long-term yields, causing yield differences to narrow along the municipal bond market’s maturity spectrum.

The fund’s results also were influenced by supply-and-demand factors. The growing U.S. economy benefited most states and municipalities, including Florida, helping to reduce unemployment and boost corporate and sales tax receipts. In fact, Florida’s economy has fared better than most other states due to a diverse economic base and conservative fiscal management. As a result, the supply of newly issued bonds moderated while investor demand remained robust, supporting bond prices.

In this environment, the fund continued to receive strong income contributions from its core holdings of seasoned bonds, which were

purchased with significantly higher yields than are available today.The fund also benefited from its relatively short average duration, which sheltered it from the full brunt of weakness at the long end of the intermediate maturity range.

However, these favorable factors were offset to a degree by the fund’s lack of exposure to municipal bonds with ratings at the lower-end of the investment-grade spectrum—such as “triple-B” rated bonds—compared to the benchmark. Such lower-rated tax-exempt securities, including corporate-backed bonds, generally produced more robust returns than higher-quality municipal bonds over the reporting period.

What is the fund’s current strategy?

The economic outlook currently appears to be cloudy. On one hand, cooling housing markets and moderating consumer spending suggest that U.S. economic growth may slow. On the other, soaring energy prices and other inflationary pressures may lead to additional rate hikes from the Fed.Therefore, we expect heightened market volatility over the second half of 2006, and we have maintained the fund’s relatively short duration and emphasis on high-quality securities. However, we may lengthen the fund’s average duration if the economy indeed slows and interest rates peak.

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 Florida Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund from January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2006. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment assuming actual returns for the six months ended June 30, 2006

Expenses paid per $1,000 †	$ 3.86

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 June 30, 2006

Expenses paid per $1,000 †	$ 3.91
Ending value (after expenses)	$1,020.93

^† Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .78%; multiplied by the average account value over the 

period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

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.

The Fund 19

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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

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

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

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

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

20

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 were as follows: tax exempt income $7,629,208 and long-term capital gains $974,461.The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the”Facility”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowing. During the period ended June 30, 2006, 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 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 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, 2006, the fund was charged of $55,758 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.

The Fund 21

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

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 Directors held on May 24, 2006, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement, for a one-year term ending July 31, 2007. The Board is comprised entirely of individuals who have no affiliation with the Manager or any affiliates of the Manager.

Prior to the meeting, the Manager provided the Board members with extensive materials related to the renewal of the Management Agreement, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives to the fund derived from data compiled by Lipper Inc., an independent third party (“Lipper”).

During their meeting, the Board discussed the proposed continuance of the Management Agreement with senior management personnel of the Manager. At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board members and their independent counsel met in an executive session, at which no representative of the Manager was present, to continue their discussion of the continuance of the Management Agreement. In determining to continue the Management Agreement, the Board members considered all factors which they believed to be relevant.

Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of the Manager regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its Management Agreement. The 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 distribution of the fund, as well as other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the Manager’s corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each

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 ) 

of the fund’s distribution channels.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.The Board members also considered 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, and the Manager’s extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructure.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Management Fee, Expense Ratio, and Performance. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance, management fee and expense ratio, placing significant emphasis on comparative data supplied by Lipper, including contractual and actual (net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements) management fees, operating expense components and yield and total return perfor-mance.The fund’s yield and total return were compared to those of a Performance Universe, consisting of all funds with the same Lipper classification/objective, and a Performance Group, consisting of comparable funds chosen by Lipper based on guidelines previously approved by the Board. Similarly, the fund’s contractual and actual management fee and operating expenses were compared to those of an Expense Universe, consisting of all funds with the same or similar Lipper classification/objective and a similar sales load structure, and an Expense Group, consisting comparable funds chosen by Lipper based on guidelines previously approved by the Board. As part of its review of expenses, the Board also considered other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, custody fees, any 12b-1 or non-12b-1 service fees, and other non-management fees, as well as any waivers or reimbursements of fees and expenses.

The Board reviewed the results of the Performance Group and Performance Universe comparisons for various periods ended March 31, 2006.The Board noted that the fund’s total return for each period was equal to or better than the median total return of the Performance Group, and was better than the median total return among its

24

Performance Universe except for the most recent one-year period when the fund’s total return was slightly below the median total return of the Performance Universe.The Board further noted that the fund’s yield for the one-year period ranked first among the Performance Group and in the first quintile of the Performance Universe.

The Board reviewed the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe, and noted that the fund’s actual management fee was higher than the median management fee of the Expense Group and the Expense Universe, but that the fund’s total expense ratio was at the median and in the second quintile of the Expense Universe (the first quintile reflecting the lowest fees and expenses).

Representatives of the Manager noted that there were no similarly managed mutual funds, institutional separate accounts, or wrap fee accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies, and strategies and, as to mutual funds only, reported in the same Lipper category, as the fund.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Manager’s representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by the Manager and the method used to determine such expenses and profit.The Board members evaluated the 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 economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders.The Board noted that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale also would be appropriately shared with shareholders through increased investment in fund management and administration resources.The Board members also considered potential benefits to the Manager from acting as investment adviser to the fund and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect with respect to trading the fund’s portfolio.

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 ) 

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

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations 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 to the Manager by the fund was reasonable in light of the services provided, comparative perfor- mance and expense and advisory fee information, costs of the ser- vices provided, and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by the Manager from its relationship with the fund.

26

• The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by the Manager in con- nection with the management fee rate charged to the fund, and that, to the extent in the future it were to be determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

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