LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
    The first six months of 1995 represented a period of new direction for
The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc. NCM Capital Management
Group, Inc. (NCM) was retained as the Fund's sub-investment adviser in August
of 1994. During the remainder of that year, the Fund's portfolio was
restructured to reflect NCM's management style. In our previous letter, we
outlined the specific changes that the Fund had undergone. Many of those
changes provided positive returns for the portfolio during the semi-annual
period. For the first half of 1995, the Fund provided a total return of
17.76%.* However, the Fund trailed the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index,
which posted a total return of 20.19% for the same period.** This was largely
due to the fact that for the first half of 1995, the Fund's portfolio was
underweighted in consumer staple stocks as compared to the Index. The Fund's
performance does not reflect the deduction of additional charges imposed in
connection with investing in variable annuity contracts and variable life
insurance policies.
EQUITIES AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
    The most prominent issue confronting the equity markets in 1994 and so
far in 1995 has been the Federal Reserve Board's vigilance in fighting
inflation and overly expansive economic growth. The Fed acted by raising
interest rates an unprecedented seven times in a 12-month period. The hope
was that as a result businesses would seek to grow their bottom lines by
productivity enhancements and market share growth rather than simply by
raising prices, as had been the case in previous economic cycles. The volatili
ty that ensued made for a difficult environment for money managers. Despite
this environment our management team made several portfolio changes that have
contributed to the Fund's performance.
CHANGES IN SECTOR WEIGHTINGS
    In terms of the economic sectors of the Fund, we changed many of the
weightings. We cut the basic industry sector weighting in half. That sector
includes chemicals, paper and forest products, and metals. The pricing
environment for these companies became more negative as the Fed made it clear
that inflation was going to be controlled in this economic cycle. We reduced
our weighting in the consumer cyclical sector as consumers' high debt
position appeared to be preventing their full participation in the economic
expansion. We moved into names that would be less sensitive to discretionary
spending. The most strategic change we made was to further increase our
weighting in the more traditional growth sectors of the economy, namely
consumer staples (which include foods and health care) and technology. These
weightings went from significantly underweighted to market weighted in the
consumer staples sector and from market weighted to overweighted in the
technology sector.
    Other secondary sector adjustments we made were in the financials and
utilities sectors. NCM believes that it is appropriate to focus the portfolio
in areas that will provide above-average growth relative to the broad market
averages, and we therefore chose to reduce the weightings in these two areas.
However we did concentrate the weightings in the stocks of aggressively
growing companies in both sectors. In the financial area we focused on
fee-oriented businesses, which are less likely to be affected by changes in
interest rates. In the utilities sector we are focused on names that we
believe should experience good long term secular growth because of
technological or new product advancements.

SPOTLIGHTING KEY STOCKS
    During the first six months of 1995, there are many individual securities
that have contributed nicely to the positive performance of the Fund. In the
consumer cyclical sector, Capital Cities/ABC, Disney (Walt), NIKE, Cl.B and
Philips Electronics, N.V. have had superior performance. These names
represent secular growth stocks that we think will grow regardless of the
economic environment due to their globally oriented, diversified operations.
Among consumer staple stocks that have contributed to the portfolio's
performance, Coca-Cola, Colgate-Palmolive, IBP, Amgen, Medtronic and Merck &
Co. are a few standouts. The food, beverage and household products companies
have benefited from more positive investor sentiment toward their long-term,
globally driven growth rates. The health care stocks benefited from an
improved outlook for their operations due to the collapse of the Clinton
health care reform initiative.
FINANCIAL AND TECHNOLOGY SECTORS
    Stock selection in the financial area contributed significantly to the
Fund's positive results as did a more benign interest rate outlook. ADVANTA,
Cl.A, a credit card company, and banks such as Citicorp, Bank of New York and
Midlantic, and specialty financial service companies such as Green Tree
Financial, a provider of mobile home financing, and Federal National Mortgage
Association have performed well for the year-to-date period.
    Our focus in the technology sector was in stocks of companies with fairly
established market positions, superior technology and outstanding management
teams. Individual issues such as 3Com, Applied Materials, Hewlett-Packard,
Linear Technology and Sun Microsystems were all stellar performers. Each of
these companies, we believe, stands to benefit not just from demand for a
single product but also from a broad, diversified product offering with
multiple downstream beneficiaries. In our judgment, these qualities lower the
risk profile of the Fund's technology weighting compared to the typical
technology stock, and lower the general level of volatility in that sector.
LOOKING AHEAD
Going forward, we believe that the Federal Reserve's hold on the market will
persist; however, this time we expect that the Fed's action will benefit
stocks because we expect interest rates will be reduced further rather than
raised as the economy shows signs of slowing.
              Sincerely,

              Diane Coffey                   Maceo K. Sloan, CFA

THE DREYFUS SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE GROWTH 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 diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund is intended
to be a funding vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life
insurance policies to be offered by the separate accounts of life insurance
companies. Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. (the "Distributor") acts as the
distributor of the Fund's shares which are sold without a sales charge. The
Distributor, located at One Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of FDI Distribution Services, Inc., a provider of
mutual fund administration services, which in turn is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FDI Holdings, Inc., the parent company of which is Boston
Institutional Group, Inc. The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus") serves as the
Fund's investment adviser. NCM Capital Management Group, Inc. serves as the
Fund's sub-investment adviser. Dreyfus is a direct subsidiary of Mellon Bank,
N.A.
    (A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in securities 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.
    (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 and dividends from net realized
capital gain, if any, 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. This may result in
distributions that are in excess of investment income-net on a fiscal year
basis. 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 interests 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.
    The Fund has an unused capital loss carryover of approximately $51,000
available for Federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net
securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December 31, 1994. If not
applied, the carryover expires in 2002.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2-INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACT
IONS WITH AFFILIATES:
    (A) Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with Dreyfus, the
investment advisory 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
Investment Advisory Agreement further provides that if in any full year the
aggregate expenses of the Fund, excluding taxes, brokerage, interest on
borrowings and extraordinary expenses, exceed the expense limitation of any
state having jurisdiction over the Fund, the Fund may deduct from the fee to
be paid to Dreyfus, or Dreyfus will bear, such excess expense to the extent
required by state law. However, Dreyfus had undertaken from January 1, 1995
through July 11, 1995 to reduce the investment advisory fee paid by the Fund,
to the extent that the Fund's aggregate expenses (excluding certain expenses
as described above) exceeded specified annual percentages of the Fund's
average daily net assets. The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the
undertakings, amounted to $11,445 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
    Pursuant to a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with NCM Capital
Management Group, Inc., the sub-investment advisory fee is computed at an
annual rate of .10 of 1% on the first $500 million and .20 of 1% on the
excess of the average daily value of the Fund's net assets and is payable
monthly by Dreyfus.
    (B) Pursuant to the Fund's 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 with respect to
servicing and/or maintaining shareholder accounts. During the six months
ended June 30, 1995, $1,560 was charged to the Fund pursuant to the
Shareholder Services Plan.
    (C) Each director who is not an "affiliated person" as defined in the Act
receives from the Fund an annual fee of $2,500. The Chairman of the Board
receives an additional 25% of such compensation.
NOTE 3-SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
    The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities,
other than short-term securities, during the six months ended June 30, 1995,
amounted to $13,695,246 and $7,067,186, respectively.
    At June 30, 1995, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments
was $2,041,397, consisting of $2,081,918 gross unrealized appreciation and
$40,521 gross unrealized depreciation.
    At June 30, 1995, 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).

    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
December 31, 1994 and financial highlights for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1994 and in our report dated February 1, 1995, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on such statement of changes in net assets
and financial highlights.
