Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus California
Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, covering the six-month period from April 1, 1999
through September 30, 1999. 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, Jill Shaffro.
When the reporting period began, investors had become concerned that strong
economic growth in the United States might rekindle dormant inflationary
pressures. As a result, after remaining relatively steady during the first
quarter of 1999, yields on money market securities rose during the second and
third quarters in response to expectations that the Federal Reserve Board might
raise short-term interest rates. In fact, the Federal Reserve Board raised rates
twice during the summer of 1999 in an attempt to forestall a potential
resurgence of inflationary pressures. This increase effectively reversed most of
last fall' s interest-rate cuts, and led to higher yields on most money market
securities.
Tax-exempt money market yields were also influenced by supply-and-demand
factors. Strong economic conditions have curtailed many municipalities' need to
borrow over the short term, reducing the available supply of tax-exempt money
market securities. Yet investor demand remained strong from individuals seeking
to minimize their tax liabilities. This imbalance helped constrain the rise of
tax-exempt money market yields relative to taxable money market yields during
the first nine months of 1999.
We appreciate your confidence over the past six months, and we look forward to
your continued participation in Dreyfus California Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund
Sincerely,
Stephen E. Canter
President and Chief Investment Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Jill Shaffro, Portfolio Manager
How did Dreyfus California Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund perform during the
period?
For the six-month period ended September 30, 1999, the fund produced a
tax-exempt yield of 2.36%. Taking into account the effects of compounding, the
fund provided an effective yield of 2.38%.(1) The fund produced a total return
of 1.19% (2) compared to the Lipper California Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds
category average return of 1.21% over the same period.(3) We attribute the
fund' s performance to lower short-term interest rates, which were the result of
changes in monetary policy as well as supply-and-demand factors.
What is the fund's investment approach?
The fund' s objective is to seek a high level of federal and California state
tax-exempt income while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. We are
especially vigilant in our efforts to preserve capital.
In pursuing this objective, we employ two primary strategies. First, we attempt
to add value by constructing a diverse portfolio of high-quality tax-exempt
money market instruments from California issuers. Second, we actively manage the
fund' s average maturity in anticipation of interest-rate trends and
supply-and-demand changes in the short-term municipal marketplace.
For example, if we expect an increase in short-term supply as California and its
municipalities currently issue short-term debt, we may decrease the average
maturity of the fund to enable it to purchase new securities with higher yields.
That' s because yields tend to rise if many issuers are competing for investor
interest. New securities are generally issued with maturities in the one-year
range, which tend to lengthen the fund's average maturity. If we expect demand
to surge at a time when we anticipate little issuance and, therefore, lower
yields, we may increase the portfolio's average maturity to maintain current
The Fund
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
yields for as long as practical. At other times, we try to maintain an average
maturity that reflects our view of short-term interest-rate trends and future
supply-and-demand considerations.
What other factors influenced the fund's performance?
The fund was affected by rising interest rates over the past six months.
Economies in Japan and Southeast Asia appear to have begun to recover, and the
growth of the U.S. economy has been stronger than most analysts expected. This
economic news raised concerns among some fixed-income investors that
inflationary pressures might re-emerge. In fact, the Federal Reserve Board
increased short-term interest rates twice during the summer of 1999 in an
attempt to forestall a reacceleration of inflation. Because the market
anticipated these changes in monetary policy before they were announced, longer
term tax-exempt yields had already risen by the time the interest-rate hikes
were actually implemented.
However, tax-exempt money market yields did not rise as much as comparable
taxable yields, primarily because many states and municipalities throughout the
country -- including California -- have enjoyed higher tax revenues during this
period of economic prosperity. As a result, many of California's government
entities have had little need to borrow in order to satisfy their short-term
obligations. The relative lack of supply amid steady investor demand helped
constrain the rise of short-term tax-exempt yields.
What is the fund's current strategy?
We have continued to focus on very high-quality liquid money market instruments
from a wide array of California issuers. Some of the most frequently used
instruments include Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs), which are issued by
investment banks through the securitization of longer term municipal bonds.
Because VRDNs can be redeemed at the buyer's option after either one day or
seven days, they afford the fund a high degree of liquidity as well as high
credit quality. Accordingly, as of September 30, much of the portfolio was
composed of VRDNs. The remainder was comprised primarily of tax-exempt
commercial paper and tax-exempt notes. Of course, portfolio composition will
change over time.
We took advantage of new issuance of tax-exempt notes in June, which effectively
extended the fund's average maturity to the long end of the neutral range. The
addition of notes also enabled us to lock in prevailing yields. Since June, new
purchases have been concentrated mostly in short-term commercial paper, which we
have used to replace notes that matured or were redeemed by their issuers. This
strategy has resulted in a gradual decrease in the fund's average maturity to 62
days as of September 30. We believe that this position will help us retain the
flexibility we need to capture high current yields while remaining capable of
responding quickly to changing market conditions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1--Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus California Tax Exempt Money Market Fund (the "fund") is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a diversified
open-end management investment company. The fund's investment objective is to
provide investors with as high a level of current income exempt from Federal and
State of California income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of
capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The Dreyfus Corporation (the
" 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; 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 fund' s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, which require the use of management estimates
and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(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. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of
premiums and original issue discounts on investments, is earned from settlement
date and recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gain and loss from securities
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Cost of investments
represents amortized cost. Under the terms of the custody agreement, the fund
received net earnings credits of $2,963 based on available cash balances left on
deposit. Income earned under this arrangement is included in interest income.
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 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.
(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 has an unused capital loss carryover of approximately $101,000
available for Federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net
securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to March 31, 1999. If not
applied, $38,000 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2000, $21,000 expires in
fiscal 2002, $27,000 expires in fiscal 2003, $10,000 expires in fiscal 2004 and
$5,000 expires in fiscal 2005.
At September 30, 1999, 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 2--Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is
computed at the annual rate of .50 of 1% of the value of the fund's average
daily net assets and is payable monthly.
The Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (CONTINUED)
(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund 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 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
September 30, 1999, the fund was charged $57,509 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 September 30, 1999, the fund was charged $25,691 pursuant to the transfer
agency agreement.
(c) Each trustee who is not an "affiliated person" as defined in the Act
receives from the fund an annual fee of $2,500 and an attendance fee of $250 per
meeting. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such
compensation.
