PRESIDENT'S LETTER
Dear Shareholder:
    The Dreyfus Growth and Income Fund completed the first half of its
current fiscal year on April 30, 1994.
    The total return, including the reinvestment of income dividends, was
negative 2.10%* for the Fund, compared with a negative 2.31% for the Standard
and Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.** From inception on December 31,
1991 to April 30, 1994, the total return for the Dreyfus Growth and Income
Fund was 36.92%, compared with 15.41% for the Standard and Poor's 500
Composite Stock Price Index.
    The average annual total return for the Fund from inception through March
31, 1994 has been 15.39%, and for the year ended March 31, 1994, was 9.20%.
    The net assets of the Fund increased to approximately $1.629 billion on
April 30, 1994, from $1.166 billion on October 31, 1993, an increase of $463
million. We appreciate the investments by new and old shareholders of the
Dreyfus Growth and Income Fund which have permitted this growth to occur.
CHANGES IN PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION
    In seeking to achieve the dual goals of capital growth and income, your
Fund primarily is invested in a mix of growth stocks, dividend producing
stocks and money market instruments. The main investment categories for the
Fund during the 6-month period were U.S. common stocks and U.S. convertible
securities.
    There were four major changes in your Fund's portfolio over the course of
the latest half-year: (1) a reduction in the investment in foreign stocks,
including emerging market stocks; (2) a smaller proportion of the Fund
invested in convertible securities; (3) a reduction in the Fund's investment
in telecommunications and "information highway" stocks; and (4) a rise in the
proportion of the Fund held as cash reserves.
LESS FOREIGN STOCKS
    The proportion of your Fund invested in foreign stocks declined from
about 13% at the beginning of the period to about 4% at the end of the
period. The decline in the proportion invested in emerging market stocks was
even sharper, from about 6% at the beginning of the period to about 1% at the
end of the period. The decision to reduce the foreign stock component was in
part precipitated by the speculative excesses in Asian markets at the end of
1993. In response to the high valuations that developed for emerging market
stocks, the risks of investing there appeared to have risen sharply. Your
Fund retains the flexibility to reenter those markets if the risk/reward
prospects improve sufficiently.
LESS CONVERTIBLES
    The proportion of the Fund invested in convertible bonds and convertible
preferred stock was reduced from about 31% at the beginning of the period to
about 22% at the end of the period. The logic behind that shift was that
several of the trends which had benefited the convertible securities market
in the past shifted adversely during the period. Previously, convertible
securities were aided by falling long-term interest rates, falling or stable
short-term interest rates and rising stock prices. Each one of these trends
was called into question during the Fund's fiscal half year, as short-term
rates rose, long-term rates rose and stock prices began to correct early in
1994. Because of these shifts, the proportion of your portfolio invested in
convertibles was reduced during the period.
LESS COMMUNICATIONS STOCKS
    The third major change during the latest six months was the reduction in
the proportion of the Fund invested in communications and related stocks.
While the long-term trend for this sector of the economy remains favorable,
valuations had reached high levels by the beginning of the fiscal half year.
This triggered a decision early in the period to reduce the exposure to this
sector within the Fund's portfolio.
RISE IN CASH RESERVES
    The fourth major change during the period was a rise in cash reserves
from 12% of the Fund at the beginning of the period to about 27% at the end
of the period. This reflected a decision to delay much of the reinvestment of
the proceeds of the sale of foreign stocks, convertible securities and
communications stocks described above. Just as the proportion of the Fund
invested in different markets and industry sectors is actively shifted from
time to time, the level of cash reserves shifts up and down depending on a
perception of the balance of risk and reward in the U.S. and foreign bond
markets, stock markets and convertible securities markets. Such cash reserves
are available for investment when opportunities perceived to be favorable
arise.
LOOKING AHEAD
    We intend to shift the proportions of the portfolio invested in stocks,
convertible securities and bonds as market conditions dictate. Within the
equity portion of the portfolio, we intend to vary the mix of the portfolio
among the stocks of small companies, medium-sized companies and large
companies, depending on where we believe the best opportunities lie.
Similarly, we will shift the mix of stocks among different industries
depending on our expectations for different sectors.
    We welcome your investment in this Fund and will attempt to generate a
favorable yield and provide opportunities for growth in net asset value over
time.
                              Very truly yours,

                              (signature)

                              Richard B. Hoey
                              President
May 26, 1994

* Total return represents the change during the period in a hypothetical
account with dividends reinvested.
** SOURCE: LIPPER ANALYTICAL SERVICES, INC. - Reflects the reinvestment of
income dividends and, where applicable, capital gain distributions. Unlike
the Fund, which can invest in both debt and equity securities, the Standard &
Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index is a widely accepted unmanaged index
of stock market performance, which is composed of only equity securities.
 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and your
investment return may fluctuate, and share price can be more or less than the
original cost upon redemption.

DREYFUS GROWTH AND INCOME 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. Dreyfus Service
Corporation ("Distributor") acts as the exclusive distributor of the Fund's
shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge. The Distributor is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Dreyfus Corporation ("Manager").

     (A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in securities (including options and
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, except for open
short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price
is used when no asked price is available. Securities for which there are no such
valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the
direction of the Board of Directors. 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.
Investments in forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the offsetting
rate.

     (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) AFFILIATED ISSUERS: Issuers in which the Fund held 5% or more of the
outstanding voting securities are defined as "affiliated" in the Act.

     (D) 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, it is
the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gain.

     (E) 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.

     The Fund has an unused capital loss carryover of approximately $4,568,000
available for Federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net
securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 1993. If not
applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2000.

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 .75 of 1% of the average daily
value of the Fund's net assets and is payable monthly. The Agreement provides
for an expense reimbursement from the Manager should the Fund's aggregate
expenses, exclusive of taxes, brokerage, interest on borrowings (which, in the
view of Stroock, Stroock & Lavan, counsel to the Fund, also contemplates
interest and dividends on securities sold short), and extraordinary expenses,
exceed the expense limitation of any state having jurisdiction over the Fund.
The most stringent state expense limitation applicable

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

to the Fund presently requires reimbursement of expenses in any full fiscal year
that such expenses (exclusive of certain expenses as described above) 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. No expense reimbursement was
required pursuant to the Agreement for the six months ended April 30, 1994.

     (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 $1,182,108 pursuant to the Shareholder Services
Plan.

     (C) Certain officers and directors of the Fund are "affiliated persons," as
defined in the Act, of the Manager and/or the Distributor. Each director who is
not an "affiliated person" receives an annual fee of $4,500 and an attendance
fee of $500 per meeting. Prior to March 16, 1994, the annual fee was $1,000 and
attendance fee was $250.

     (D) On December 5, 1993, the Manager entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") providing for the merger of the Manager with a
subsidiary of Mellon Bank Corporation ("Mellon").

     Following the merger, it is planned that the Manager 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 stockholders of the Manager and of Mellon. The merger is expected to occur in
mid-1994, but could occur later.

     As a result of regulatory requirements and the terms of the Merger
Agreement, the Manager will seek various approvals from the Fund's board and
shareholders before completion of the merger. Shareholder approval will be
solicited by a proxy statement.

     The Fund is engaged in short-selling which obligates the Fund to replace
the security borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value. The
Fund would incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date
of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security.
The Fund would realize a gain if the price of the security declines between
those dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will
maintain daily, a segregated account with a broker and custodian, of cash and/or
U.S. Government securities sufficient to cover its short position. At April 30,
1994, there were no securities sold short outstanding.

</TABLE>

     When executing forward currency exchange contracts, the Fund is obligated
to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the
future. With respect to sales of forward currency exchange contracts, the Fund
would incur a loss if the value of the contract increases between the date the
forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The Fund
realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates. With
respect to purchases of forward currency exchange contracts, the Fund would
incur a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward
contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The Fund
realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates.

     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. 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. At April 30,
1994, there were no financial futures contracts outstanding.

     (B) At April 30, 1994, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on
investments was $12,720,906, consisting of $73,396,289 gross unrealized
appreciation and $60,675,383 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).

REVIEW REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG, INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
DREYFUS GROWTH AND INCOME FUND, INC.

     We have reviewed the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Dreyfus Growth and Income Fund, Inc., including the statement of investments, as
of April 30, 1994, and the related statements of operations and changes in net
assets and financial highlights for the six month period ended April 30, 1994.
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 October 31,
1993 and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended
October 31, 1993 and in our report dated November 29, 1993, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on such statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights.
