Economic Review

     Since ending its 1995 mid-cycle slowdown, the economy has sustained an
above-trend growth trajectory, slowing only briefly in the third quarter of 1996
and again in recent months. Meanwhile, the level of economic activity is now at
the point where economic resources are near full deployment. Yet price inflation
remains quiescent, boosting the purchasing power of incomes and contributing to
the best sense of economic well-being in decades. In this environment, economic
policy has been benign, allowing market interest rates to sway within an
eighteen-month trading range and corporate profits to rise steadily. However,
even while the jury is out on the inflation risks ahead, the Federal Reserve
Board (the "Fed") has again indicated a one-way bias towards tighter future
policy.

     Real Gross Domestic Product growth grew an above-trend 3.1% from year-end
1995 to year-end 1996, then accelerated to more than 4.0% in the first half of
this year. However, this year's pattern shows growth concentrated into the first
quarter, when GDP surged 5.9%, while a slowdown to near 2.5% is apparent in the
second quarter. The slower near-term growth is attributable to a lackluster
retail sector, even though exports and capital spending are gaining. A key issue
is whether the absence of pent-up demand could lead to a sluggish consumer
profile and, hence, a slow GDP growth from here on. Indeed, factors that could
underpin a resumption of stronger spending are rising: real consumer purchasing
power, soaring household wealth and all-time highs in consumer confidence.
Additionally, inventories remain lean, muting the prospect of yet slower
economic growth.

     Alongside evidence of a slower retail sector in the second quarter are
reports showing that unemployment fell below 5% and industrial capacity
utilization tightened towards its 1994 highs. With these developments, the
economy now is operating at a high level with little slack. Yet, wage inflation
abated in the second quarter while price inflation continued to decelerate. The
absence of any troublesome sign of inflation has kept market interest rates in a
long-standing trading range. Even corporate profits continue to surprise on the
upside.

     Views on the need to tighten monetary policy are divergent. There are those
who believe that inflation pressure points are just different than in the past
and others who believe the inflation cycle has been eliminated by global factors
and technology. However, by leaning towards tighter future policy, the Fed is at
least willing to err on the cautious side in the next several months.

The Money Market

     The money market began the current calendar year in a reasonably steady
mode with fluctuations within a narrow band. As the year advanced, however, the
market became increasingly concerned that the Fed would raise interest rates.
Late in December, 1996, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan made his highly publicized
remark about "irrational

<PAGE>
exuberance" in the equity markets. Early in 1997, other central bank officials
spoke on the same theme. So it was no great surprise to the markets when the
Fed, in late March, actually raised the short-term interbank rate by one
quarter of a point. This was done as a moderate dose of preventive medicine
against possible future inflation.

     By late spring and early summer, however, signs of a slowdown in the
economy caused interest rates to simmer down. To be sure, there was the usual
nervousness before each subsequent scheduled meeting of the rate-setting Federal
Open Market Committee. Yet the general trend of rates most recently has been to
fluctuate moderately while working down to somewhat lower levels.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1--General:
     Dreyfus Institutional Money Market Fund (the "Fund") is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act") as a diversified open-end management
investment company and operates as a series company issuing two classes of
Beneficial Interest: the Money Market Series and the Government Securities
Series. The Fund accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations
of each series. The Fund's investment objective is to provide investors with as
high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital
and the maintenance of liquidity. The Dreyfus Corporation ("Manager") serves as
the Fund's investment adviser. The Manager is a direct subsidiary of Mellon
Bank, N.A. Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. is the distributor of the Fund's
shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

     It is the Fund's policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share
of $1.00 for each series; the Fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio
valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is
no assurance, however, that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset
value per share of $1.00.

     The Series' financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which may require the use of management estimates
and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2--Significant Accounting Policies:

     (A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in securities are valued at amortized
cost, which has been determined by the Fund's Board of Trustees to represent the
fair value of the Fund's investments.

     (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 is
recognized on the accrual basis. Cost of investments represents amortized cost.

     The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions,
deemed to be creditworthy by the Fund's Manager, subject to the seller's
agreement to repurchase and the Fund's agreement to resell such securities at a
mutually agreed upon price. Securities purchased subject to repurchase
agreements are deposited with the Fund's custodians and, pursuant to the terms
of the repurchase agreement, must have an aggregate market value greater than or
equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value
of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus
accrued interest, the Fund will require the seller to deposit additional
collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is
not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the Fund maintains
the right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any
resulting loss against the seller.

     (C) EXPENSES: Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to
that series' operations; expenses which are applicable to both series are
allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

     (D) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: It is the policy of the Fund, with respect
to both series, to declare dividends from investment income-net on each business
day; such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gain,
with respect to both series, are normally declared and paid annually, but each
series may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the
distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. However, to the extent
that a net realized capital gain of either series can be reduced by a capital
loss carryover of that series, such gain will not be distributed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

     (E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of each series 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 Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of taxable income
sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and excise taxes.

     The Money Market Series has an unused capital loss carryover of
approximately $12,000 available for Federal income tax purposes to be applied
against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December
31, 1996. If not applied, the carryover expires in 2002.

     The Government Securities Series has an unused capital loss carryover of
approximately $61,000 available for Federal income tax purposes to be applied
against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December
31, 1996. If not applied, the carryover expires in 1997.

     At June 30, 1997, the cost of investments of each series for Federal income
tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting
purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

NOTE 3--Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

     (A) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee
for each series is computed at the annual rate of .50 of 1% of the value of the
average daily net assets of each series and is payable monthly.

     (B) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, each series reimburses Dreyfus
Service Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, an amount not to
exceed an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of each series' 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, 1997, the Money Market Series and the Government Securities
Series were charged an aggregate of $33,873 and $23,060, respectively, 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 agency services for the Fund. With respect to the Money
Market Series and the Government Securities Series, such compensation amounted
to $33,120 and $2,312, respectively, during the period ended June 30, 1997.

     (C) Each trustee who is not an "affiliated person" as defined in the Act
receives from the Fund an annual fee of $4,500 and an attendance fee of $500 per
meeting. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such
compensation.
