INTRODUCTION
Each fund is a money market mutual fund with a separate investment portfolio. The operations and results of a fund are unrelated to those of each other fund. This combined prospectus has been prepared for your convenience so that you can consider ten investment choices in one document.
As a money market fund, each fund is subject to maturity, quality and diversification requirements designed to help it maintain a stable share price.
Generally, each municipal fund is required to invest its assets in securities with the highest or second-highest credit rating or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Each other fund generally is required to invest at least 95% of its assets in the securities of issuers with the highest credit rating or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus, with the remainder invested in securities with the second-highest credit rating. Dreyfus Cash Management and Dreyfus Cash Management Plus, Inc. purchase securities with the highest credit rating only, or the unrated equivalent. Dreyfus Government Prime Cash Management and Dreyfus Treasury Prime Cash Management invest only in U.S. government securities. Dreyfus Government Cash Management and Dreyfus Treasury & Agency Cash Management invest only in U.S. government securities and in repurchase agreements.
An investment in a fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although each fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a fund.
Concepts to understand
Money market fund: a specific type of fund that seeks to maintain a $1.00 price per share. Money market funds are subject to strict federal requirements and must:
Repurchase agreement: a commercial bank or securities dealer sells securities to a fund and agrees to repurchase them at an agreed-upon date and price. These agreements offer a fund a means of investing money for a short period of time.
Credit rating: a measure of the issuers expected ability to make all required interest and principal payments in a timely manner. An issuer with the highest credit rating has a very strong degree of certainty (or safety) with respect to making all payments. An issuer with the second-highest credit rating has a strong capacity to make all payments, but the degree of safety is somewhat less.
The Funds 1
Dreyfus Cash Management
GOAL/APPROACH
The fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. To pursue its goal, the fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high quality, short-term debt securities, including:
Normally, the fund invests at least 25% of its net assets in bank obligations.
MAIN RISKS
The funds yield will fluctuate as the short-term securities in the portfolio mature and the proceeds are reinvested in securities with different interest rates.
While the fund has maintained a constant share price since inception, and will continue to try to do so, the following factors could reduce the funds income level and/or share price:
Not all obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. Some obligations, such as those issued by the Student Loan Marketing Association and the Federal Home Loan Banks, are backed only by the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality, and in some cases there may be some risk of default by the issuer.Any guarantee by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities of a security held by the fund does not apply to the market value of such security or to shares of the fund itself. In addition, because many types of U.S. government securities trade actively outside the U.S., their prices may rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities.

EXPENSES
As an investor, you pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the fund, which are described for Participant shares in the table below. Annual fund operating expenses are paid out of fund assets, so their effect is reflected in the amount of income available for distribution to shareholders.

|

$61 | $192 | $335 | $750 |
This example shows what you could pay in expenses over time. It uses the same hypothetical conditions other funds use in their prospectuses: $10,000 initial investment, 5% total return each year and no changes in expenses. The figures shown would be the same whether you sold your shares at the end of a period or kept them. Because actual returns and expenses will be different, the example is for comparison only.
Concepts to understand
Management fee: the fee paid to Dreyfus for managing the funds portfolio and assisting in all aspects of the funds operations.
From time to time, Dreyfus may limit expenses to the extent it deems appropriate to enhance the yield of a fund, or a particular class of a fund, during periods when fixed expenses have a significant impact on the yield of a fund, or a particular class of a fund, as applicable, because of low interest rates. This expense limitation policy is voluntary and temporary and may be revised or terminated by Dreyfus at any time without notice.
Rule 12b-1 fee: the fee paid to the funds distributor for distributing Participant shares, for advertising and marketing related to Participant shares, and for providing account service and maintenance. Because this fee is paid on an ongoing basis out of fund assets attributable to Participant shares, over time it will increase the cost of your investment in Participant shares and could cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
Other expenses: under an agreement with Dreyfus, in effect since the fund commenced offering Participant shares, the fund only pays the management fee and the Rule 12b-1 fee. Dreyfus pays all other fund expenses directly. Dreyfus may terminate this agreement at any time upon at least 90 days prior notice to investors, but has committed not to do so at least through May 31, 2009.

While the fund is permitted to invest in the full range of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, the fund currently is managed so that income paid by the fund will be exempt from state and local taxes. Because rules regarding the state and local taxation of dividend income can differ from state to state, investors are urged to consult their tax advisers about the taxation of the funds dividend income in their state and locality.

GOAL/APPROACH
The fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
To pursue its goal, the fund only invests in securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government, and repurchase agreements (including tri-party repurchase agreements) in respect of these securities.
MAIN RISKS
The funds yield will fluctuate as the short-term securities in its portfolio mature and the proceeds are reinvested in securities with different interest rates.
While the fund has maintained a constant share price since inception, and will continue to try to do so, the fund is subject to the risk that interest rates could rise sharply, causing the value of the funds investments and its share price to drop. In addition, interest rates could drop, thereby reducing the funds yield.
A security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States is guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. The current market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate.
In addition, because many types of U.S. government securities trade actively outside the United States, their prices may rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities.
The fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty in a repurchase agreement could fail to honor the terms of its agreement.

EXPENSES
As an investor, you pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the fund, which are described for Participant shares in the table below. Annual fund operating expenses are paid out of fund assets, so their effect is reflected in the amount of income available for distribution to shareholders.

Concepts to understand
Management fee: the fee paid to Dreyfus for managing the funds portfolio and assisting in all aspects of the funds operations.
From time to time, Dreyfus may limit expenses to the extent it deems appropriate to enhance the yield of a fund, or a particular class of a fund, during periods when fixed expenses have a significant impact on the yield of a fund, or a particular class of a fund, as applicable, because of low interest rates. This expense limitation policy is voluntary and temporary and may be revised or terminated by Dreyfus at any time without notice.
Rule 12b-1 fee: the fee paid to the funds distributor for distributing Participant shares, for advertising and marketing related to Participant shares, and for providing account service and maintenance. Because this fee is paid on an ongoing basis out of fund assets attributable to Participant shares, over time it will increase the cost of your investment in Participant shares and could cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
Other expenses: under an agreement with Dreyfus, in effect since the fund commenced offering Participant shares, the fund only pays the management fee and the Rule 12b-1 fee. Dreyfus pays all other fund expenses directly. Dreyfus may terminate this agreement at any time upon at least 90 days prior notice to investors, but has committed not to do so at least through May 31, 2009.
Dreyfus Treasury Prime Cash Management 19
Dreyfus Tax Exempt Cash Management
GOAL/APPROACH
The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal personal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in short-term, high quality municipal obligations that provide income exempt from federal personal income tax. The fund may also invest in high quality, short-term structured notes, which are derivative instruments whose value is tied to underlying municipal obligations. In addition, the fund may invest temporarily in high quality, taxable money market instruments, including when the portfolio manager believes that acceptable municipal obligations are unavailable for investment.
Municipal obligations are debt securities that provide income free from federal income tax, and state income tax if the investor lives in the issuing state. Municipal obligations are typically of two types:
While the fund is permitted to invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal obligations that provide income that may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, the fund currently is managed so that income paid by the fund will not be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
MAIN RISKS
The funds yield will fluctuate as the short-term securities in its portfolio mature and the proceeds are reinvested in securities with different interest rates.
While the fund has maintained a constant share price since inception, and will continue to try to do so, the following factors could reduce the funds income level and/or share price:
Derivative securities, such as structured notes, can be volatile, and the possibility of default by the financial institution or counterparty may be greater for these securities than for other types of money market instruments. Structured notes typically are purchased in privately negotiated transactions from financial institutions, and, thus, an active trading market for such instruments may not exist.
To be tax-exempt, municipal obligations generally must meet certain regulatory requirements. Although the fund will invest in municipal obligations that pay interest that is exempt, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer (or on the basis of other authority believed by Dreyfus to be reliable), from federal personal income tax, if any such municipal obligations fail to meet these regulatory requirements, the interest received by the fund from its investment in such obligations and distributed to fund shareholders will be taxable.

GOAL/APPROACH
The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal, New York state and New York city personal income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in short-term, high quality municipal obligations that provide income exempt from federal, New York state and New York city personal income taxes.The fund may also invest in high quality, short-term structured notes, which are derivative instruments whose value is tied to underlying municipal obligations.

MANAGEMENT
Investment adviser
The investment adviser for each fund is The Dreyfus Corporation (Dreyfus), 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166. Founded in 1947, Dreyfus manages approximately $295 billion in approximately 180 mutual fund portfolios. For the past fiscal year, each fund (except Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal Cash Management) paid Dreyfus a management fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of the funds average daily net assets. For the period from August 1, 2007, through January 31, 2008, Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal Cash Management paid Dreyfus a management fee at the annual rate of 0.15% of the funds average daily net assets. A discussion regarding the basis for the boards approving each funds management agreement with Dreyfus is available in the funds semiannual report for the six months ended July 31, 2007. Dreyfus is the primary mutual fund business of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY Mellon), a global financial services company focused on helping clients move and manage their financial assets, operating in 34 countries and serving more than 100 markets. BNY Mellon is a leading provider of financial services for institutions, corporations and high-net-worth individuals, providing asset and wealth management, asset servicing, issuer services, and treasury services through a worldwide client-focused team. BNY Mellon has more than $23 trillion in assets under custody and administration and $1.1 trillion in assets under management, and it services more than $11 trillion in outstanding debt. Additional information is available at www.bnymellon.com .
The Dreyfus asset management philosophy is based on the belief that discipline and consistency are important to investment success. For each fund, Dreyfus seeks to establish clear guidelines for portfolio management and to be systematic in making decisions.This approach is designed to provide each fund with a distinct, stable identity.
32
Distributor
Each funds distributor is MBSC Securities Corporation (MBSC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus. Dreyfus or MBSC may provide cash payments out of its own resources to financial intermediaries that sell shares of the funds or provide other services. Such payments are separate from any Rule 12b-1 fees paid by the funds to those intermediaries. Because those payments are not made by shareholders or the funds, a funds total expense ratio will not be affected by any such payments. These additional payments may be made to intermediaries, including affiliates, that provide shareholder servicing, sub-administration, recordkeeping and/or sub-transfer agency services, marketing support and/or access to sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives of the financial intermediary. Cash compensation also may be paid from Dreyfus or MBSCs own resources to intermediaries for inclusion of the funds on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales list or in other sales programs.These payments sometimes are referred to as revenue sharing. From time to time, Dreyfus or MBSC also may provide cash or non-cash compensation to financial intermediaries or their representatives in the form of occasional gifts; occasional meals, tickets or other entertainment; support for due diligence trips; educational conference sponsorship; support for recognition programs; and other forms of cash or non-cash compensation permissible under broker-dealer regulations. In some cases, these payments or compensation may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its employees to recommend or sell shares of a fund to you. Please contact your financial representative for details about any payments they or their firm may receive in connection with the sale of fund shares or the provision of services to the funds.
Code of ethics
The funds, Dreyfus and MBSC have each adopted a code of ethics that permits its personnel, subject to such code, to invest in securities, including securities that may be purchased or held by the funds. The Dreyfus code of ethics restricts the personal securities transactions of its employees, and requires portfolio managers and other investment personnel to comply with the codes preclearance and disclosure procedures. The primary purpose of the code is to ensure that personal trading by Dreyfus employees does not disadvantage any Dreyfus-managed fund.

ACCOUNT POLICIES
Each fund is designed for institutional investors, particularly banks, acting for themselves or in a fiduciary, advisory, agency, custodial or similar capacity. Generally, each investor will be required to open a single master account with the fund for all purposes. In certain cases, the fund may request investors to maintain separate master accounts for shares held by the investor (i) for its own account, for the account of other institutions and for accounts for which the institution acts as a fiduciary, and (ii) for accounts for which the investor acts in some other capacity. An institution may arrange with the funds transfer agent for sub-accounting services and will be charged directly for the cost of such services. Institutions purchasing Participant shares for the benefit of their clients may impose policies, limitations and fees which are different from those described in this prospectus.
Buying shares
The price for fund shares is the funds net asset value per share (NAV), which is generally calculated at 12:00 noon, 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. for the taxable money market funds, and 1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. for Dreyfus Tax Exempt Cash Management, Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal Cash Management and Dreyfus New York Municipal Cash Management, and 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. for Dreyfus Municipal Cash Management Plus, on days the New York Stock Exchange, or the transfer agent (as on Good Friday) as to Dreyfus Cash Management and Dreyfus Cash Management Plus, Inc. only, is open for regular business. An order will be priced at the next NAV calculated after the order is received in proper form by the funds transfer agent or other authorized entity. Each funds investments are valued based on amortized cost. As a result, portfolio securities are valued at their acquisition cost, adjusted for discounts or premiums reflected in their purchase price. This method of valuation is designed to enable the fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share.

In either case, shares purchased will receive the dividend declared on that day. Orders for shares placed between 3:00 p.m and 5:00 p.m. will not be accepted and executed, and notice of the purchase order being rejected will be given to the institution placing the order, and any funds received will be returned promptly to the sending institution.

Concepts to understand
Net asset value (NAV): a mutual funds share price on a given day. A funds NAV is calculated by dividing the value of its net assets by the number of its existing shares outstanding.
When calculating its NAV, a fund compares the NAV using amortized cost to its NAV using available market quotations or market equivalents which generally are provided by an independent pricing service approved by the funds board. The pricing services procedures are reviewed under the general supervision of the board.
Amortized cost: the value of a funds portfolio securities, which does not take into account unrealized gains or losses. As a result, portfolio securities are valued at their acquisition cost, adjusted over time based on the discounts or premiums reflected in their purchase price. Each fund uses this valuation method pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act in order to be able to price its shares at $1.00 per share. In accordance with Rule 2a-7, each fund is subject to certain maturity, quality, and diversification requirements to help it maintain the $1.00 share price.
40
Selling shares
Investors may sell (redeem) shares at any time by wire, telephone, or compatible computer facility. Shares will be sold at the next determined NAV.
Applicable to Dreyfus Cash Management, Dreyfus Cash Management Plus, Inc., Dreyfus Government Cash Management, Dreyfus Government Prime Cash Management, Dreyfus Treasury & Agency Cash Management, and Dreyfus Treasury Prime Cash Management only:
If a redemption request is received in proper form by the funds transfer agent or other authorized entity by 5:00 p.m., the proceeds of the redemption, if transfer by wire is requested, ordinarily will be transmitted in Federal Funds on the same day, and the shares will not receive the dividend declared on that day. If a request for redemption is received in proper form by the funds transfer agent or other authorized entity after 5:00 p.m., but by 8:00 p.m., the proceeds of the redemption ordinarily will be transmitted in Federal Funds on the next business day, and the shares will receive the dividend declared on that day.
Applicable to Dreyfus Tax Exempt Cash Management, Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal Cash Management and Dreyfus New York Municipal Cash Management only:
If a redemption request is received in proper form by the funds transfer agent or other authorized entity by 1:00 p.m., the proceeds of the redemption, if transfer by wire is requested, ordinarily will be transmitted in Federal Funds on the same day, and the shares will not receive the dividend declared on that day. If a request for redemption is received in proper form by the funds transfer agent or other authorized entity after 1:00 p.m., but by 8:00 p.m., the proceeds of the redemption ordinarily will be transmitted in Federal Funds on the next business day, and the shares will receive the dividend declared on that day.
Applicable to Dreyfus Municipal Cash Management Plus only:
If a redemption request is received in proper form by the funds transfer agent or other authorized entity by 2:00 p.m., the proceeds of the redemption, if transfer by wire is requested, ordinarily will be transmitted in Federal Funds on the same day, and the shares will not receive the dividend declared on that day.

For all funds, all times are Eastern time.
Applicable to all funds:
The processing of redemptions and the delivery of the proceeds may be delayed beyond the same or next business day, depending on the circumstance, for any period (i) during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than on holidays or weekends), or during which trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; (ii) when an emergency exists that makes difficult the disposal of securities owned by a fund or the determination of the fair value of the funds net assets; or (iii) as permitted by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the protection of fund shareholders. For these purposes, the Securities and Exchange Commission determines the conditions under which trading shall be deemed to be restricted and an emergency shall be deemed to exist.Any certificates representing fund shares being sold must be returned with the redemption request.
Before selling recently purchased shares, please note that if the fund has not yet collected payment for the shares being sold, it may delay sending the proceeds for up to eight business days or until it has collected payment.

General policies
Unless the investor declines telephone privileges on the application, the investor may be responsible for any fraudulent telephone order as long as Dreyfus takes reasonable measures to verify the order.
Money market funds generally are used by investors for short-term investments, often in place of bank checking or savings accounts, or for cash management purposes. Investors value the ability to add and withdraw their funds quickly, without restriction. For this reason, although Dreyfus discourages excessive trading and other abusive trading practices, the funds have not adopted policies and procedures, or imposed redemption fees or other restrictions such as minimum holding periods, to deter frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares. Dreyfus also believes that money market funds, such as the funds, are not targets of abusive trading practices, because money market funds seek to maintain a $1.00 per share price and typically do not fluctuate in value based on market prices. However, frequent purchases and redemptions of a funds shares could increase the funds transaction costs, such as market spreads and custodial fees, and may interfere with the efficient management of the funds portfolio, which could detract from the funds performance.Accordingly, each fund reserves the right to refuse any purchase or exchange request. Funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds that are not money market mutual funds have approved policies and procedures that are intended to discourage and prevent abusive trading practices in those mutual funds, which may apply to exchanges from or into a fund. If you plan to exchange your fund shares for shares of another Dreyfus fund, please read the prospectus of that other Dreyfus fund for more information.
Each fund reserves the right to:
Each fund also reserves the right to make a redemption in kind payment in portfolio securities rather than cash if the amount being redeemed is deemed by the manager to be large enough to affect fund operations. Investors are urged to call Dreyfus Investments Division before effecting any large redemption.
Each fund may also process purchase and sale orders and calculate its NAV on days that the funds primary trading markets are open and the funds management determines to do so.
42
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
Each fund earns dividends, interest and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions. Each fund normally pays dividends once a month and capital gain distributions annually. Fund dividends and capital gain distributions will be reinvested in the fund unless the investor instructs the fund otherwise. There are no fees or sales charges on reinvestments.
Distributions paid by the taxable money market funds are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes (unless the investor is investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account). For federal tax purposes, in general, certain fund distributions, including distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to investors as ordinary income.
Each municipal money market fund anticipates that virtually all of its income dividends will be exempt from federal and, as to Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal Cash Management from California, and, as to Dreyfus New York Municipal Cash Management from New York state and New York city, personal income taxes, respectively. However, for federal tax purposes, certain distributions, such as distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to investors as ordinary income, while long-term capital gains are taxable to investors as capital gains.
With respect to Dreyfus California AMT-Free Municipal Cash Management and Dreyfus New York Municipal Cash Management, for California state and New York state and New York city personal income tax purposes, respectively, distributions derived from interest on municipal securities of California and New York issuers, respectively, and from interest on qualifying securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions are generally exempt from tax. Distributions that are federally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains are generally subject to the states personal income taxes.
The tax status of any distribution generally is the same regardless of how long an investor has been in the fund and whether distributions are reinvested or taken in cash.
An investors sale of shares, including exchanges into other funds, may result in a capital gain or loss for tax purposes.A capital gain or loss on an investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of the investors shares and the amount received when the investor sells them.
The tax status of an investors distributions will be detailed in the investors annual tax statement from the fund. Because everyones tax situation is unique, please consult a tax advisor before investing.
