DREYFUS CASH MANAGEMENT PLUS, INC.
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
    We are pleased to provide you with this report on Dreyfus Cash Management
Plus, Inc. For its semi-annual reporting period ended March 31, 1996, your
Fund's Class A shares produced an annualized yield of 5.59%, and Class B
shares produced an annualized yield of 5.34%. Income dividends of
approximately $.028 per share were paid during the period for Class A shares
and $.027 for Class B shares. Assuming the reinvestment of these dividends
and accounting for the effect of compounding, annualized effective yields of
5.74% and 5.48% were achieved for Class A shares and Class B shares,
respectively.*
THE ECONOMY
    In April the U.S. economy embarked on its sixth expansion year for this
business cycle. However, the previous year was one of slow economic expansion
with the picture remaining sluggish in the past six months. This kept
inflation moderate, but it also began to erode corporate profitability. The
combination of slow economic growth and low inflation helped pull interest
rates down sharply in 1995. While short-term interest rates remained quite
low until recently, long-term rates have risen substantially since January.
Higher long-term rates reflect a shift in the market's view about the
direction of the economy. Long-term rates that rise higher than short-term
rates indicate a steepening yield curve, which is favorable for sustained
economic growth. Hence, we believe that this business cycle could last still
longer.
    Although the economy surged 3.6% in the third quarter of 1995, it then
slowed to only 0.5% in the fourth quarter and remains below its 2.0% trend in
early 1996. Sequential events have made the economy volatile in the last six
months: the Boeing and GM strikes, the Federal shutdown and the severe winter
weather. These shocks created caution in key economic sectors. Since the
third quarter, real consumer spending has increased only 1.9%. Capital
spending slowed from its previously strong pace. And weak overseas economies
may now be curbing exports. On the plus side, job growth has been steady,
boosting real disposable income by 3.6%-almost double the rise in consumer
spending. New orders for capital goods are robust. Housing construction and
sales are at high levels. The uncertainty of demand nevertheless kept
producers cautious, leaving inventories quite lean in many economic sectors.
Low inventories relative to demand provide a force for sustained economic
growth and could spur the economy to somewhat faster growth in coming months.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT/PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY
    The primary focus of the market has been on Federal Reserve Policy and
its possible implications for the direction of interest rates in 1996. The
Federal Reserve Board is expected to remain in its neutral posture until
there is statistical evidence of a clearer trend in accelerating growth.
Concern that inflation may be growing at a rate which could reignite
inflation and raise benchmark rates in the future has made market
participants cautious. At present, the underlying evidence shows inflation
under control.
    The current higher interest rate environment may not be sustainable
without the support of faster economic growth. We hope to take full advantage
of these cross-currents by adjusting the average maturity and duration of the
portfolio as market conditions require.

    We thank you for investing in Dreyfus Cash Management Plus, Inc. and we
look forward to further serving your investment needs.
                              Very truly yours,

                          [Patricia A. Larkin signature logo]

DREYFUS CASH MANAGEMENT PLUS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    Dreyfus Cash Management Plus, Inc. ("the Fund") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("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 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. (the "Distributor") acts as the
distributor of the Fund's shares, which are sold without a sales load. The
Fund offers both Class A and Class B shares. Class B shares are subject to a
Service Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Other differences
between the two Classes include the services offered to and the expenses
borne by each Class and certain voting rights.
    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 of $1.00.
    (A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments are valued at amortized cost, which
has been determined by the Fund's Board of Directors 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) 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. 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, if such qualification is in the
best interest 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.

DREYFUS CASH MANAGEMENT PLUS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
    The Fund has an unused capital loss carryover of approximately $885,000
available for Federal income tax purposes to be
applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to
September 30, 1995. The carryover does not include net realized securities
losses from November 1, 1994 through September 30, 1995 which are treated,
for Federal income tax purposes, as arising in fiscal 1996. If not applied,
$22,000 of the carryover expires in fiscal 1997, $3,000 expires in fiscal
1999, $3,000 expires in fiscal 2000, $46,000 expires in fiscal 2002 and
$811,000 expires in fiscal 2003.
    At March 31, 1996, 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 ("Agreement") with the Manager,
the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .20 of 1% of the average
daily value of the Fund's net assets and is payable monthly.
    Unless the Manager gives the Fund's investors 90 days' notice to the
contrary, the Manager and not the Fund, will be liable for Fund expenses
(exclusive of taxes, brokerage, interest on borrowings and, with the prior
written consent of the necessary state securities commissions extraordinary
expenses) other than the following expenses, which will be borne by the Fund:
the management fee, and with respect to the Fund's Class B shares, Rule 12b-1
Service Plan expenses.
    (B) Under the Class B Service Plan (the "Plan") adopted pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Act, the Fund (a) reimburses the Distributor for distributing
the Fund's Class B shares and (b) pays the Manager, Dreyfus Service
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, and their affiliates
(collectively, "Dreyfus") for advertising and marketing relating to the
Fund's Class B shares and for providing certain services relating to Class B
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 ("Servicing"), at an aggregate annual
rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B.
Both the Distributor and Dreyfus may pay one or more Service Agents a fee in
respect of the Fund's Class B shares owned by shareholders with whom the
Service Agent has a Servicing relationship or for whom the Service Agent is
the dealer or holder of record. Both the Distributor and Dreyfus determines
the amounts, if any, to be paid to Service Agents under the Class B Service
Plan and the basis on which such payments are made. The fees payable under
the Plan are payable without regard to actual expenses incurred. During the
six months ended March 31, 1996, $548,823 was charged to the Fund pursuant to
the Plan.
    Effective December 1, 1995, the Fund entered into a transfer agency
agreement with Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Manager, to provide personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency
services for the Fund.
    (C) Each director who is not an "affiliated person" as defined in the Act
receives an annual fee of $3,000 and an attendance fee of $500 per meeting.

REVIEW REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
DREYFUS CASH MANAGEMENT PLUS, INC.
    We have reviewed the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Dreyfus Cash Management Plus, Inc., including the statement of investments,
as of March 31, 1996, and the related statements of operations and changes in
net assets and financial highlights for the six month period ended March 31,
1996. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management.
    We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which
will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an
opinion regarding the financial statements and financial highlights taken as
a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
    Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the interim financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
    We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the statement of changes in net assets for the year ended
September 30, 1995 and financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period ended September 30, 1995 and in our report dated November 2, 1995, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on such statement of changes in net assets
and financial highlights.
