DREYFUS EDISON ELECTRIC INDEX FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors ("WFNIA") serves as the Fund's
index manager. WFNIA is a registered investment adviser. Wells Fargo
Institutional Trust Company, N.A. 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.
    (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.
    (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 on a
quarterly basis. 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
.15 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 Dreyfus will each bear, such excess expense in proportion to their
respective fees. 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.
There was no expense reimbursement for the six months ended April 30, 1994.

DREYFUS EDISON ELECTRIC INDEX FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
    (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 $122,855 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:
    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 $6,704,657 and $17,227,379, respectively.
    At April 30, 1994, accumulated net unrealized depreciation on investments
was $11,034,292, consisting of $219,952 gross unrealized appreciation and
$11,254,244 gross unrealized depreciation.
    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).
