Putnam Income Fund Item 1. Report to Stockholders: - ------------------------------- The following is a copy of the report transmitted to stockholders pursuant to Rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940: SEMIANNUAL REPORT ON PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK 4-30-03 [GRAPHIC OMITTED: RED CAR] [SCALE LOGO OMITTED] FROM THE TRUSTEES [GRAPHIC OMITTED: PHOTO OF JOHN A. HILL AND GEORGE PUTNAM III] Dear Fellow Shareholder: We are pleased to report that Putnam Income Fund delivered another period of positive returns (at net asset value) for the six months ended April 30, 2003. Although the fund outperformed its benchmark index, it came in somewhat behind the average return of its Lipper peer group. You will find the details on page 7. The fund continued to operate in a favorable market environment for fixed-income securities as equity investors remained generally cautious. In the following report, the management team credits the positive contribution to performance by the investment-grade bonds and some of the slightly lower-rated issues in your fund's portfolio during the period. It is encouraging to see that they also look with optimism on prospects for the fiscal year's second half, anticipating a continuation of the favorable state of affairs in the bond market. As we look back on one of the most challenging periods in recent investment history, we would like you to know how much we appreciate your continued confidence in Putnam. We believe those who maintain a long-term focus and a diversified approach to investing should eventually be rewarded for their fortitude. Respectfully yours, /S/ JOHN A. HILL /S/ GEORGE PUTNAM, III John A. Hill George Putnam, III Chairman of the Trustees President of the Funds June 18, 2003 REPORT FROM FUND MANAGEMENT FUND HIGHLIGHTS * During the semiannual period ended April 30, 2003, Putnam Income Fund's class A shares returned 4.57% at net asset value (NAV) and -0.41% at public offering price (POP). * The fund's corporate bond holdings helped it to edge ahead of its primary benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 4.31% for the period. * However, due to its allocation of lower-yielding Treasury holdings and the underperformance of one of its asset-backed holdings, the fund underperformed the average return for the Lipper Corporate Debt Funds A Rated category, which was 5.34% for the six-month period. * The fund's dividend for class A shares was reduced to $0.0210 per share in February 2003 (other share classes also had dividend reductions). Please see page 5 for more information. * Index and Lipper results should be compared to fund performance at net asset value. See the Performance Summary on page 7 for complete fund performance, comparative performance, and Lipper data. * PERFORMANCE COMMENTARY The U.S. bond markets performed well during the first half of the fund's fiscal reporting period, benefiting from uncertainty surrounding the war in Iraq and generally slow economic growth with low inflation, among other factors. In this positive environment, higher-yielding bonds significantly outperformed Treasury bonds, as investors became more willing to take on risk to attain higher yields. Putnam Income Fund outperformed its benchmark index because of its allocations of corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities. We believe that the higher average return for the fund's Lipper peer group may have been the result of a higher allocation of corporate bonds (versus the fund) and/or a longer duration. Fund Profile Putnam Income Fund seeks high current income consistent with what Putnam Management believes to be a prudent level of risk. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio composed mainly of corporate investment-grade bonds, U.S. government and agency bonds, and collateralized mortgage obligations. * MARKET OVERVIEW The U.S. bond market has now delivered three consecutive years of strong returns, and we have seen a continuation of this trend during the past six months. During this period, investors remained hesitant about the volatile stock market and nervous about the war with Iraq, which loomed for the first four months of the period and cast a shadow of uncertainty over the financial markets. In addition to the war, investors were concerned about the state of the U.S. economy and the impact of SARS in Asia and its effect on global trade. As Treasury and money market yields fell to extremely low levels and reduced corporate debt levels foreshadowed the possibility of further improvements in credit quality, investors looked for securities with greater return potential. As a result, higher-yielding investments such as corporate investment-grade bonds, high-yield bonds, and mortgage-backed securities became more popular. The corporate bond sector performed well as corporate default rates continued to decline, companies retired debt, and overall credit quality improved. Treasuries, which have seen significant yield declines over the past several years, underperformed nearly all other bond sectors. Treasury yields at the close of the period were approaching 45-year lows.

The fund's sector allocations varied from those of its benchmark index in several ways, which helped the fund to outperform the index. The variations that helped the fund outperform were an underweighted position in Treasuries and an overweight in ABSs, MBSs, CMBSs, and government agency securities. The fund's overweighted position in BB-rated corporate bonds was also helpful. The fund's group of analysts responsible for MBSs, ABSs, CMBSs, and other agency sectors focused on security selection and diversification. We believe these securities offer a solid yield advantage over Treasuries with less issue-specific risk than corporate bonds. We increased the fund's BB-rated corporate and investment-grade corporate weightings early in October 2002, based on our belief that these sectors were attractively valued, especially in relation to overvalued, low-yielding Treasuries. Near the end of the period, we noticed that the strong performance of investment-grade corporate bonds was beginning to moderate and reduced the fund's holdings in this sector. We retained the fund's weighting in BB-rated corporate bonds, however, as we believe that these securities may still offer solid performance potential.

The only sector that underperformed was U.S. Treasuries, and the fund was underweighted in these securities relative to its benchmark.

The fund's holdings will change over time. The fund's mortgage-backed securities (MBSs), asset-backed securities (ABSs), and other government agency sectors generally performed well because of their high credit quality and higher yields. Since these are complicated markets, security selection and diversity is critical. For example, some MBSs may be adversely affected by prepayments, which have risen significantly as homeowners have refinanced. Our group of MBS analysts, who seek to help the fund deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns, employed hedging and other techniques to manage risk in the portfolio. Despite the generally strong performance of ABSs, some of the fund's ABS holdings detracted from performance. Conseco Finance Securitizations, Inc., for example, experienced financial difficulties at the corporate level, which resulted in poor performance for the holdings. However, we believe that the underlying ABSs, which are backed by mobile home mortgage payments of the company's GreenTree Financial division, are sound and should recover. Of course, we will continue to monitor developments and reduce the position or sell it if necessary. The fund's BB-rated corporate and investment-grade corporate holdings made a significant contribution because both of these sectors had such strong returns during the period. We increased the fund's weighting in corporate investment-grade bonds early in the period and then trimmed back these holdings before the period's end. The corporate investment-grade sector had its best six-month performance ever, relative to Treasury bonds. Moreover, the fund's higher-yielding BB-rated bonds, while not a large weighting, made a solid contribution to performance. We have not reduced this weighting because we believe these securities still offer value. Corporate bonds generally have benefited from a number of factors. Among the most important is the decline in default rates. Although still high by historical standards, corporate defaults have declined nearly 40% since hitting a peak of 10.81% in January 2002 -- to a level of 6.94% in March 2003 (according to Moody's). In addition to lower default rates, companies have been reducing debt and improving their balance sheets, which has helped boost credit quality for corporate debt issuers. Please note that all sectors and holdings discussed in this report are subject to review in accordance with the fund's investment strategy and may vary in the future. OF SPECIAL INTEREST * Over the past several years, bond yields in all fixed-income sectors have fallen considerably, particularly in higher-quality sectors such as Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. Though the fund was underweighted in these sectors, their presence in the portfolio contributed to a dividend reduction in February 2003 for the fund's class A shares, from $0.025 per share to $0.021 per share. Dividends for the fund's other share classes were also reduced. * THE FUND'S MANAGEMENT TEAM The fund is managed by the Putnam Core Fixed-Income Team. The members of this team are James Prusko (Portfolio Leader), Kevin Cronin, (Portfolio Member), Carl Bell, Rob Bloemker, Andrea Burke, Steve Horner, D. William Kohli, Michael Salm, John Van Tassel, and David Waldman. THE OUTLOOK FOR YOUR FUND The following commentary reflects anticipated developments that could affect your fund over the next six months, as well as your management team's plans for responding to them. In our opinion, the remainder of 2003 has the potential to be favorable for the U.S. bond market -- especially the higher-yielding, non-Treasury sectors. The completion of the war with Iraq has reduced the level of geopolitical uncertainty that has been preoccupying investors, and many are now focusing on the economy and are seeking higher yields from their fixed-income investments. We anticipate that economic growth in the United States will be slow to moderate for the rest of 2003 but will not have a "double dip" back into recession. We believe such conditions would provide a positive environment for bond sectors with higher yields than Treasuries, such as MBSs, government agency bonds, and corporate bonds. In an environment of slow to moderate growth, with potential volatility in both the stock and bond markets, it is paramount that a portfolio of bonds be invested in a wide range of holdings and sectors. We believe this fund is properly diversified among its fixed-income holdings and sectors and is well positioned for the coming months. The views expressed in this report are exclusively those of Putnam Management. They are not meant as investment advice. Mutual funds that invest in government securities are not guaranteed. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk. Lower-rated bonds may offer higher yields in return for more risk.

Returns at public offering price (POP) for class A and M shares reflect a sales charge of 4.75% and 3.25%, respectively. Class B share returns reflect the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), which is 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and is eliminated thereafter. Class C shares reflect a 1% CDSC the first year that is eliminated thereafter. Class R share returns have no initial sales charge or CDSC. Performance for class B, C, M, and R shares before their inception is derived from the historical performance of class A shares, adjusted for the applicable sales charge (or CDSC) and higher operating expenses for such shares.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS Total return shows how the value of the fund's shares changed over time, assuming you held the shares through the entire period and reinvested all distributions in the fund. Net asset value (NAV) is the price, or value, of one share of a mutual fund, without a sales charge. NAVs fluctuate with market conditions. The NAV is calculated by dividing the net value of all the fund's assets by the number of outstanding shares. Public offering price (POP) is the price of a mutual fund share plus the maximum sales charge levied at the time of purchase. POP performance figures shown here assume the 4.75% maximum sales charge for class A shares and 3.25% for class M shares. Contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is a charge applied at the time of the redemption of class B or C shares and assumes redemption at the end of the period. Your fund's class B CDSC declines from a 5% maximum during the first year to 1% during the sixth year. After the sixth year, the CDSC no longer applies. The CDSC for class C shares is 1% for one year after purchase. Class A shares are generally subject to an initial sales charge and no sales charge on redemption (except on certain redemptions of shares bought without an initial sales charge). Class B shares may be subject to a sales charge upon redemption. Class C shares are not subject to an initial sales charge and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge only if the shares are redeemed during the first year. Class M shares have a lower initial sales charge and a higher 12b-1 fee than class A shares and no sales charge on redemption (except on certain redemptions of shares bought without an initial sales charge). Class R shares are not subject to an initial sales charges or CDSC and are available only to certain defined contribution plans.

A GUIDE TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS These sections of the report, as well as the accompanying Notes, constitute the fund's financial statements. The fund's portfolio lists all the fund's investments and their values as of the last day of the reporting period. Holdings are organized by asset type and industry sector, country, or state to show areas of concentration and diversification. Statement of assets and liabilities shows how the fund's net assets and share price are determined. All investment and noninvestment assets are added together. Any unpaid expenses and other liabilities are subtracted from this total. The result is divided by the number of shares to determine the net asset value per share, which is calculated separately for each class of shares. (For funds with preferred shares, the amount subtracted from total assets includes the net assets allocated to remarketed preferred shares.) Statement of operations shows the fund's net investment gain or loss. This is done by first adding up all the fund's earnings -- from dividends and interest income -- and subtracting its operating expenses to determine net investment income (or loss). Then, any net gain or loss the fund realized on the sales of its holdings -- as well as any unrealized gains or losses over the period -- is added to or subtracted from the net investment result to determine the fund's net gain or loss for the fiscal period. Statement of changes in net assets shows how the fund's net assets were affected by distributions to shareholders and by changes in the number of the fund's shares. It lists distributions and their sources (net investment income or realized capital gains) over the current reporting period and the most recent fiscal year-end. The distributions listed here may not match the sources listed in the Statement of operations because the distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be paid in a different period from the one in which they were earned.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2003 (Unaudited) Note 1 Significant accounting policies Putnam Income Fund (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The fund seeks high current income consistent with what Putnam Investment Management, LLC ("Putnam Management"), the fund's manager, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam, LLC, believes to be prudent risk. The fund invests in a portfolio of debt securities, both government and corporate obligations, and may invest in preferred stocks and common stocks. The fund offers class A, class B, class C, class M, class R and class Y shares. The fund began offering class R shares on January 21, 2003. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class B shares, which convert to class A shares after approximately eight years, do not pay a front-end sales charge but pay a higher ongoing distribution fee than class A, class M and class R shares, and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, if those shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. Class C shares are subject to the same fees and expenses as class B shares, except that class C shares have a one-year 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge and do not convert to class A shares. Class M shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.25% and pay an ongoing distribution fee that is higher than class A shares but lower than class B and class C shares. Class R shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and pay an ongoing distribution fee that is higher than class A shares, but lower than class B and class C shares. Class R shares are offered to qualified employee-benefit plans. Class Y shares, which are sold at net asset value, are generally subject to the same expenses as class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares, but do not bear a distribution fee. Class Y shares are sold to certain eligible purchasers including certain defined contribution plans (including corporate IRAs), certain college savings plans, bank trust departments and trust companies. Expenses of the fund are borne pro-rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the distribution fees applicable to such class). Each class votes as a class only with respect to its own distribution plan or other matters on which a class vote is required by law or determined by the Trustees. Shares of each class would receive their pro-rata share of the net assets of the fund, if the fund were liquidated. In addition, the Trustees declare separate dividends on each class of shares. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A) Security valuation Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last reported sales price on its principal exchange, or official closing price for certain markets. If no sales are reported -- as in the case of some securities traded over-the-counter -- a security is valued at its last reported bid price. Market quotations are not considered to be readily available for certain debt obligations; such investments are valued at market value on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service or dealers, approved by the Trustees. Such services or dealers determine valuations for normal institutional-size trading units of such securities using methods based on market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships, generally recognized by institutional traders, between securities. For foreign investments, if trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal exchange in which the foreign investments are traded are expected to materially affect the value of the investments, then those investments are valued, taking into consideration these events, at their fair value following procedures approved by the Trustees. Securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. Short-term investments having remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Other investments, including restricted securities, are valued at fair value following procedures approved by the Trustees. Such valuations and procedures are reviewed periodically by the Trustees. B) Joint trading account The fund may transfer uninvested cash balances, including cash collateral received under security lending arrangements, into a joint trading account along with the cash of other registered investment companies and certain other accounts managed by Putnam Management. These balances may be invested in issuers of high-grade short-term investments having maturities of up to 397 days for collateral received under security lending arrangements and up to 90 days for other cash investments. C) Repurchase agreements The fund, or any joint trading account, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the market value of which at the time of purchase is required to be in an amount at least equal to the resale price, including accrued interest. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at the counterparty's custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of the fund and the counterparty. Putnam Management is responsible for determining that the value of these underlying securities is at all times at least equal to the resale price, including accrued interest. D) Security transactions and related investment income Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Gains or losses on securities sold are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. All premiums/discounts are amortized/accreted on a yield-to-maturity basis. E) Foreign currency translation The accounting records of the fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market value of foreign securities, currency holdings, and other assets and liabilities are recorded in the books and records of the fund after translation to U.S. dollars based on the exchange rates on that day. The cost of each security is determined using historical exchange rates. Income and withholding taxes are translated at prevailing exchange rates when earned or incurred. The fund does not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. Such gains and losses are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net realized exchange gains or losses on closed forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies arise from changes in the value of open forward currency contracts and assets and liabilities other than investments at the period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Investments in foreign securities involve certain risks, including those related to economic instability, unfavorable political developments, and currency fluctuations, not present with domestic investments. F) Forward currency contracts The fund may buy and sell forward currency contracts, which are agreements between two parties to buy and sell currencies at a set price on a future date. These contracts are used to protect against a decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar of the currencies in which its portfolio securities are denominated or quoted (or an increase in the value of a currency in which securities a fund intends to buy are denominated, when a fund holds cash reserves and short term investments). The U.S. dollar value of forward currency contracts is determined using current forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The fund could be exposed to risk if the value of the currency changes unfavorably, if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the fund is unable to enter into a closing position. Forward currency contracts outstanding at period end are listed after The fund's portfolio. G) Futures and options contracts The fund may use futures and options contracts to hedge against changes in the values of securities the fund owns or expects to purchase. The fund may also write options on securities it owns or in which it may invest to increase its current returns. The potential risk to the fund is that the change in value of futures and options contracts may not correspond to the change in value of the hedged instruments. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or if the counterparty to the contract is unable to perform. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. Futures contracts are valued at the quoted daily settlement prices established by the exchange on which they trade. The fund and the broker agree to exchange an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the futures contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin." Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, or if no sales are reported, the last bid price for purchased options and the last ask price for written options. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using prices supplied by dealers. Futures contracts outstanding at period end are listed after The fund's portfolio. H) Total return swap contracts The fund may enter into total return swap contracts, which are arrangements to exchange a market-linked return for an interest payment, both based on a notional principal amount. To the extent that the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swap contracts are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made at the end of the measurement period are recorded as realized gains or losses. The fund could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index, the possibility that there is no liquid market for these agreements or that the counterparty may default on its obligation to perform. Total return swap contracts outstanding at period end are listed after The fund's portfolio. I) Interest rate swap contracts The fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts, which are arrangements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount, to manage the fund's exposure to interest rates. Interest rate swap contracts are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss. Payments made or received are recognized as part of interest income. A portion of the payments received or made upon early termination are recognized as realized gain or loss. The fund could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or if the counterparty defaults on its obligation to perform. Interest rate swap contracts outstanding at period end are listed after The fund's portfolio. J) Credit default contracts The fund may enter into credit default contracts where one party, the protection buyer, makes an upfront payment to a counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment as a result of a credit event related to a specified security or index. The upfront payment received by the fund, as the protection seller, is recorded as a liability on the fund's books. The credit default contracts are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized, net of a proportional amount of the upfront payment, as realized gains or losses. In addition to bearing the risk that the credit event will occur, the fund could be exposed to market risk due to unfavorable changes in interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index, the possibility that the fund may be unable to close out its position at the same time or at the same price as if it had purchased comparable publicly traded securities or that the counterparty may default on its obligation to perform. Credit default contracts outstanding at period end are listed after The fund's portfolio. K) TBA purchase commitments The fund may enter into "TBA" (to be announced) commitments to purchase securities for a fixed unit price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Although the unit price has been established, the principal value has not been finalized. However, the amount of the commitments will not significantly differ from the principal amount. The fund holds, and maintains until settlement date, cash or high-grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price, or the fund may enter into offsetting contracts for the forward sale of other securities it owns. Income on the securities will not be earned until settlement date. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the fund's other assets. Unsettled TBA purchase commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under "Security valuation" above. Although the fund will generally enter into TBA purchase commitments with the intention of acquiring securities for its portfolio or for delivery pursuant to options contracts it has entered into, the fund may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if Putnam Management deems it appropriate to do so. L) TBA sale commitments The fund may enter into TBA sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as "cover" for the transaction. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under "Security valuation" above. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the fund realizes a gain or loss. If the fund delivers securities under the commitment, the fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into. TBA sale commitments outstanding at period end are listed after The fund's portfolio. M) Line of credit The fund has entered into a committed line of credit with certain banks. This line of credit agreement includes restrictions that the fund maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 300% and that borrowings not exceed prospectus limitations. For the six months ended April 30, 2003, the fund had no borrowings against the line of credit. N) Federal taxes It is the policy of the fund to distribute all of its taxable income within the prescribed time and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. It is also the intention of the fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Therefore, no provision has been made for federal taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized appreciation on securities held nor for excise tax on income and capital gains. At October 31, 2002, the fund had a capital loss carryover of approximately $235,115,000 available to the extent allowed by tax law to offset future capital gains, if any. The amount of the carryover and the expiration dates are: Loss Carryover Expiration - -------------- ------------------ $101,310,000 October 31, 2007 124,225,000 October 31, 2008 9,580,000 October 31, 2009 The aggregate identified cost on a tax basis is $4,866,750,394, resulting in gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of $108,042,764 and $45,054,538, respectively, or net unrealized appreciation of $62,988,226. O) Distributions to shareholders Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are recorded by the fund on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. Note 2 Management fee, administrative services and other transactions Putnam Management is paid for management and investment advisory services quarterly based on the average net assets of the fund. Such fee is based on the following annual rates: 0.65% of the first $500 million, 0.55% of the next $500 million, 0.50% of the next $500 million, 0.45% of the next $5 billion, 0.425% of the next $5 billion, 0.405% of the next $5 billion, 0.39% of the next $5 billion and 0.38% thereafter. The fund reimburses Putnam Management an allocated amount for the compensation and related expenses of certain officers of the fund and their staff who provide administrative services to the fund. The aggregate amount of all such reimbursements is determined annually by the Trustees. Custodial functions for the fund's assets are provided by Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company (PFTC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam, LLC. Investor servicing agent functions are provided by Putnam Investor Services, a division of PFTC. The fund has entered into an arrangement with PFTC whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. For the six months ended April 30, 2003, the fund's expenses were reduced by $63,342 under these arrangements. Each independent Trustee of the fund receives an annual Trustee fee, of which $3,540 has been allocated to the fund, and an additional fee for each Trustees meeting attended. Trustees receive additional fees for attendance at certain committee meetings. The fund has adopted a Trustee Fee Deferral Plan (the "Deferral Plan") which allows the Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of Trustees fees payable on or after July 1, 1995. The deferred fees remain invested in certain Putnam funds until distribution in accordance with the Deferral Plan. The fund has adopted an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the "Pension Plan") covering all Trustees of the fund who have served as a Trustee for at least five years. Benefits under the Pension Plan are equal to 50% of the Trustee's average total retainer and meeting fees for the three years preceding retirement. Pension expense for the fund is included in Compensation of Trustees in the Statement of operations. Accrued pension liability is included in Payable for compensation of Trustees in the Statement of assets and liabilities. The fund has adopted distribution plans (the "Plans") with respect to its class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The purpose of the Plans is to compensate Putnam Retail Management, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam, LLC and Putnam Retail Management GP, Inc., for services provided and expenses incurred by it in distributing shares of the fund. The Plans provide for payments by the fund to Putnam Retail Management at an annual rate up to 0.35%, 1.00%, 1.00%, 1.00% and 1.00% of the average net assets attributable to class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares, respectively. The Trustees have approved payment by the fund at an annual rate of 0.25%, 1.00%, 1.00%, 0.50% and 0.50% of the average net assets attributable to class A, class B, class C, class M and class R shares, respectively. For the six months ended April 30, 2003, Putnam Retail Management, acting as underwriter received net commissions of $177,028 and $371,806 from the sale of class A and class M shares, respectively, and received $563,046 and $8,252 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of class B and class C shares, respectively. A deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% and 0.40% is assessed on certain redemptions of class A and class M shares, respectively. For the six months ended April 30, 2003, Putnam Retail Management, acting as underwriter received $2,180 and no monies on class A and class M redemptions, respectively. Note 3 Purchases and sales of securities During the six months ended April 30, 2003, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities other than U.S. government obligations and short-term investments aggregated $2,861,438,326 and $3,029,009,950, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government obligations aggregated $1,056,028,837 and $1,300,191,228, respectively. Note 4 Capital shares At April 30, 2003, there was an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest authorized.

[GRAPHIC OMITTED: PHOTO OF SAMUEL PUTNAM] PUTNAM IS A LEADER IN GLOBAL MONEY MANAGEMENT Putnam Investments traces its heritage to the early 19th century when ship captains hired trustees to manage their money while they were away at sea. In a landmark 1830 decision that involved one such trustee, Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Justice Samuel Putnam established The Prudent Man Rule, a legal foundation for responsible money management. In 1937, his great-great grandson founded Putnam with The George Putnam Fund of Boston, the first fund to offer a balanced portfolio of stocks and bonds. Today, Putnam Investments is one of the largest investment management firms in the world, and this balanced approach remains the foundation of everything we do. With over 65 years of experience, Putnam has nearly $251 billion in assets under management, over 100 mutual funds, over 13 million shareholder accounts, and nearly 3,000 institutional and 401(k) clients. (Information as of 12/31/02.) We're one of the largest mutual fund companies in the United States. Putnam has won the DALBAR award for service twelve times in the past thirteen years. Putnam offers products in every investment category, including growth, value, and blend as well as international and fixed income. Teamwork is a cornerstone of Putnam's investment philosophy. Our funds are managed by teams in a collaborative environment that promotes an active exchange of information. Putnam's disciplined investment philosophy is based on style consistency. We aim for less volatility over the short term and strong, consistent performance over time. Our truth in labeling approach helps us adhere to every fund's stated objective, style, and risk positioning. We are committed to helping financial advisors provide sound, sensible guidance, information, and expertise to help investors reach their financial goals.

Class Y shares are offered exclusively to clients that meet the eligibility requirements specified in the fund's prospectus for such shares.

RESULTS AT A GLANCE - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total return for periods ended 4/30/03 NAV 6 months 4.50% 1 year 8.81 5 years 29.54 Annual average 5.31 10 years 84.68 Annual average 6.33 Life of fund (since class A inception, 11/1/54) Annual average 8.34 Share value: NAV 10/31/02 $6.63 4/30/03 $6.78 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions: No. Income Capital gains Total 6 $0.145 -- $0.145 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note that past performance is not indicative of future results. More recent returns may be more or less than those shown. Returns shown for class Y shares for periods prior to their inception are derived from the historical performance of class A shares, and are not adjusted to reflect the initial sales charge currently applicable to class A shares. These returns have not been adjusted to reflect differences in operating expenses which, for class Y shares, typically are lower than the operating expenses applicable to class A shares. All returns assume reinvestment of distributions at net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See full report for information on comparative benchmarks.
