PEOPLES INDEX FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act")
as a non-diversified open-end management investment company. Wells Fargo
Nikko Investment Advisors ("WFNIA") serves as the Fund's index manager. Wells
Fargo Investment Advisors ("WFIA"), the predecessor index manager of the
Fund, and The Nikko Securities Co., Ltd. and an affiliate ("Nikko") each own
50% of WFNIA. Wells Fargo Institutional Trust Company, N.A. ("WFITC"), an
affiliate of WFNIA, is the custodian of the Fund's investments. The Dreyfus
Corporation ("Dreyfus") serves as the Fund's administrator. Dreyfus Service
Corporation ("Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, acts as
the exclusive distributor of the Fund's shares, which are sold without a
sales charge.
    On November 18,1992, The Board of Directors approved an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization providing for the transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets and liabilities of Dreyfus Index Fund to the Fund in a tax free
exchange for shares of Common Stock of the Fund at net asset value and the
assumption of stated liabilities (the "Exchange"). The Exchange was approved
by Dreyfus Index Fund shareholders on April 30, 1993, and became effective
after the close of business on May 7, 1993, at which time the Fund issued
8,156,551 shares valued at $15.79 per share to Dreyfus Index Fund in exchange
for 7,041,659 shares of Dreyfus Index Fund valued at $18.29 per share,
representing net assets of $128,791,946, including $14,201,004 of unrealized
appreciation, $274,566 of undistributed income and undistributed net realized
gains of $7,656,452. The combined net assets immediately after the Exchange
was $253,203,509.
    (A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in securities (including financial
futures) are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on
which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the
national securities market. Securities not listed on an exchange or the
national securities market, or securities for which there were no
transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked
prices. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Short-term
investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates value.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars
at the prevailing rates of exchange.
    (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. Dividend
income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including,
where applicable, amortization of discount on investments, is recognized on
the accrual basis.
    (C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Dividends from investment income-net are declared and paid annually.
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,if any, 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 interests of its shareholders, by complying with the provisions
available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections
of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of taxable income
sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, Federal income
taxes.
NOTE 2-MANAGEMENT FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATES:
    (A) Fees paid by the Fund pursuant to the provisions of an Index
Management Agreement with WFNIA and an Administration Agreement with Dreyfus
are payable monthly. WFNIA and Dreyfus receive annual fees of .10 of 1% and
.20 of 1%, respectively, of the average daily value of the Fund's net assets.
The agreements further provide that if the aggregate expenses of the Fund,
exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage and extraordinary expenses, exceed
the expense limitation of any state having jurisdiction over the Fund, the
Fund may deduct from the fees to be paid to each of WFNIA and Dreyfus, or
WFNIA and

PEOPLES INDEX FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Dreyfus will bear, in the same proportion as in the agreements, the amount of
such excess to the extent required by state law. The most stringent state
expense limitation applicable to the Fund presently requires reimbursement of
expenses in any full fiscal year that such expenses exceed 2-1/2% of the first
$30 million, 2% of the next $70 million, and 1-1/2% of the excess over $100
million of the average value of the Fund's net assets in accordance with
California "blue sky" regulations. However, WFNIA and Dreyfus had undertaken
from November 1, 1993 through November 30, 1993 to reduce the index
management fee and the administration fee to the extent that the Fund's
aggregate expenses (excluding certain expenses as described above) exceeded
certain specified annual percentages of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pursuant to the undertakings, WFNIA and Dreyfus reduced the index management
fee and the administration fee for the six months ended April 30, 1994,
$30,232 and $60,463, respectively.
    In addition, WFITC earned $1,373 for custodian services provided to the
Fund.
    (B) Pursuant to 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 servicing 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 six months ended April 30,
1994, the Fund was charged an aggregate of $263,290 pursuant to the
Shareholder Services Plan.
    (C) Certain officers and directors of the Fund are "affiliated persons,"
as defined in the Act, of Dreyfus. Each director who is not an "affiliated
person" receives an annual fee of $2,500 and an attendance fee of $500 per
meeting.
    (D) On December 5, 1993, Dreyfus entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger providing for the merger of Dreyfus with a subsidiary of Mellon Bank
Corporation ("Mellon").
    Following the merger, it is planned that Dreyfus will be a direct
subsidiary of Mellon Bank N.A. Closing of this merger is subject to a number
of contingencies, including receipt of certain regulatory approvals and
approvals of the stockholders of Dreyfus and of Mellon. The merger is
expected to occur in mid-1994, but could occur later.
NOTE 3-SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
    (A) The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities,
other than short-term securities, for the six months ended April 30, 1994
amounted to $37,357,148 and $32,782,909, respectively.
    The Fund is engaged in trading financial futures contracts. The Fund is
exposed to market risk as a result of changes in the value of the underlying
financial instruments (see the Statement of Financial Futures). Investments
in financial futures require the Fund to "mark to market" on a daily basis,
which reflects the change in the market value of the contract at the close of
each day's trading. Accordingly, variation margin payments are made or
received to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses. When the contracts are
closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. These investments
require initial margin deposits with a custodian, which consist of cash or
cash equivalents, up to approximately 10% of the contract amount. The amount
of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which
the contract is traded and is subject to change. Contracts open as of April
30, 1994 and their related unrealized market depreciation are set forth in the
Statement of Financial Futures.
    (B) At April 30, 1994, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on
investments was $23,944,782, consisting of $38,255,642 gross unrealized
appreciation and $14,310,860 gross unrealized depreciation. These amounts
include $14,201,004 of unrealized appreciation as a result of the Exchange.
    At April 30, 1994, 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).
