Dear Fellow Shareholder:
Looking back on the past six months in financial markets, stocks and
bonds had generally steady and satisfying results for most of the
period. Markets were lifted by the resurgence of the economy, prompted
in part by the 2003 tax cuts and the Federal Reserve Board's low
interest-rate policy. Corporate earnings rose to their most impressive
levels in years and many states even experienced a minor improvement in
tax revenues. However, since March 2004, uncertainty and volatility have
returned to the markets. Bonds in particular experienced broad setbacks
in April because of concerns that inflation could be sparked by vigorous
job creation and rising energy prices. Markets continue to show
vulnerability to these concerns and to the situation in Iraq.
As observers of financial markets for many years, we have gained the
perspective that periods of uncertainty and transition like the one we
are witnessing today usually reflect an effort by investors to
incorporate new facts into their thinking, a process that takes time.
The resulting volatility is uncomfortable, but over time, it allows
investors to set more realistic expectations for future investment
performance. Uncertainty on its own is no reason to alter a well-planned
investment strategy.
Putnam's portfolio management teams have vigilantly monitored these
conditions. While the retreat in financial markets has been broad, the
teams have relied on their research and analysis to manage risks and
identify opportunities. During the period ended April 30, 2004, your
fund's managers have maintained a strategy of keeping the fund well
diversified in a wide array of sectors and holdings, while taking
advantage of those parts of the market that have outperformed, such as
corporate high- yield bonds. As a result, your fund outperformed both
its benchmark index and its Lipper average based on results at net asset
value. In the following report, your fund's management teams discuss
their approach to the market environment that prevailed during the
period, as well as their outlook for the remainder of 2004.
Respectfully yours,
/S/ JOHN A. HILL /S/ GEORGE PUTNAM, III

Report from Fund Management
Fund highlights
* For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2004, Putnam Master Income
Trust had a total return at net asset value (NAV) of 5.26%. The fund's
return at market price was 0.41%.
* Due to its emphasis on high-yield bonds, investments in
emerging-market securities, and a beneficial currency strategy, the
fund's results at NAV outperformed the 1.17% return of its primary
benchmark, the Lehman Government/Credit Bond Index.
* The fund's return at NAV outperformed the 4.09% average return of the
Lipper Flexible Income Funds (closed end) category -- also as a result
of its emphasis on higher-yielding securities. This Lipper category is
relatively small, however, so comparisons can be difficult and may
change quickly.
* In January 2004, the fund's dividend for class A shares was reduced to
$0.037 per share. Please see page 5 for details.
* See the Performance Summary beginning on page 7 for complete fund
performance, comparative performance, and Lipper data.
Performance commentary
In the first half of its fiscal year, Putnam Master Income Trust
generally benefited from a variety of positive factors. The U.S. economy
continued to show solid growth, which was especially helpful for
corporate high-yield bonds, the largest portion of your fund's
portfolio. In February 2004, bonds rallied on weak jobs data; however,
stronger-than-expected job growth in March and April renewed inflation
fears and caused bond prices to decline. In fact, management believes
that the fund's lower return at market price may have been a reflection
of investors' concerns about a Federal Reserve interest rate hike in
June, which dampened enthusiasm for bonds. Overseas, emerging markets
performed well until the latter part of the period, while slower growth
in Europe generally helped bond performance in that region. Amid these
changing conditions, the fund's focus on a variety of fixed-income
sources proved beneficial for both its absolute and relative
performance.
FUND PROFILE
Putnam Master Income Trust seeks high current income, consistent with
preservation of capital, by investing in a portfolio that consists of
U.S. investment-grade, corporate high-yield, and international
fixed-income securities. The fund may be appropriate for investors
seeking high current income, asset class diversification, or both.
Market overview
For most of the period, global bond markets generally benefited from a
downward trend in interest rates brought on by a change in the outlook
for economic growth. During the first two months of the period, interest
rates were volatile, rising and falling within a broad range with each
bit of news that either challenged or supported the possibility of a
sustained economic recovery. As the new calendar year began, low
inflation, an accommodative Federal Reserve monetary policy, and weak
jobs data in February 2004 all helped bond yields to continue trending
downward. In the final month of the period, however, there was strong
evidence that the U.S. recovery was steaming along and that the
lackluster jobs market was finally springing to life. Strong employment
gains in the U.S. caused a sharp sell-off in bonds in April, as
investors factored in a 100% chance of a Federal Reserve rate hike in
June, with others to follow in subsequent months.
In Europe, low inflation reduced the likelihood of a rate increase by
the European Central Bank, and European government bonds and securities
produced solid returns that were similarly enhanced by a flight to
quality. When the U.S. bond market declined in April, however, European
bond markets generally followed suit.
High-yield corporate bonds in both the United States and Europe
continued to benefit from declining default rates, an attractive yield
advantage over Treasuries, and improved credit quality. High-yield bond
prices declined in April, though to a lesser extent than Treasuries.
Emerging-market bonds initially benefited from increased commodity
exports but sold off sharply in the second half of the period.

Strategy overview
During the past six months, we continued to seek out a diverse variety
of sectors and securities in our efforts to enhance the fund's
performance while managing its risk exposure. High-yield corporate bonds
continued to provide strong performance for most of the semiannual
period and remained the fund's largest weighting. However, after one of
the best periods ever for this sector, which began in October 2002, well
before the start of this period, and continued through December 2003, we
felt that returns going forward would probably not be as strong and
reduced the weighting. Similarly, we sharply reduced the fund's
emerging-market holdings in January 2004, near the peak of their
performance. Traditional mortgage-backed securities experienced greater
volatility later in the period because, with home mortgage rates at such
low levels, prepayments increased as borrowers refinanced their
mortgages. Fortunately, we were able to find alternative securities
within this sector that performed well. The fund's holdings of U.S.
Treasuries benefited from a rally in the second half of the period,
while European government agency securities benefited from their
attractive risk/reward characteristics amid a forecast for slower growth
in Europe in 2004.
We continued to use currency strategies to enhance returns. We
maintained the fund's exposure to the yen in the second half, which
helped performance because the yen continued to appreciate throughout
the period. We also emphasized the euro, which generally appreciated
during the period.

How fund holdings affected performance
While the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) sector generally
underperformed due to prepayment concerns associated with low mortgage
rates, we found two types of securities within this sector that
performed well -- home equity loans and manufactured housing bonds.
Unlike mortgages, home equity loans are not as susceptible to
prepayments when interest rates decline, which helps boost the
performance of securities that are backed by these loans. Similarly,
holdings backed by manufactured housing companies benefited from a
significant turnaround in this industry over the past few years
accompanied by an increase in demand for low-income housing.
From a geographic standpoint, the fund continued to invest in Colombia,
Mexico, and Russia, which performed well because of higher prices of oil
and other commodities, although we reduced these weightings near the end
of the period. We also invested in Australia and Canada (some Canadian
holdings were sold near the end of the period, as we took advantage of
strong performance to reduce the position). As demand for oil and basic
materials has increased from high-growth regions such as China, these
countries have seen significant increases in exports of oil, metals, and
other commodities used for building infrastructure. We reduced the
fund's holdings in Brazil, which tended to be much more volatile and
performed poorly near the end of the period when emerging-market
securities sold off.

The fund's holdings will change over time.
The fund's corporate high-yield bond holdings, which were reduced during
the period, remained the largest weighting and performed well, with
nearly every holding contributing positively to returns. Among the
fund's larger positions, bonds issued by cable television company
Charter Communications were key contributors. While the firm faced
competitive and financial pressures, the company met expectations and
management's moves to refinance debt eased investor concerns about
the company's liquidity. In addition, bonds issued by finance company
Finova Group provided solid returns. The company encountered significant
difficulties a few years ago, particularly in its airplane-leasing
business. The firm has worked to liquidate assets and manage its
sizeable portfolio of loans and was helped by a significant loan in 2001
from noted investor Warren Buffett through a joint venture. The company
repaid the loan earlier this year, ahead of schedule, and prospects for
the airline sector have improved more than expected.
The fund's sizeable stake in the chemicals sector also boosted returns,
including investments in Huntsman International, a major producer of
basic chemicals and petrochemicals like ethylene and propylene, and
Millennium America (a subsidiary of Millennium Chemicals), which owns
three specialty chemical businesses. Although energy prices were high,
leading to skepticism about the sector's prospects, this cyclical sector
benefited from the improving economy. Among the few detractors to
performance during the period were high-yield bonds issued by Solutia, a
diversified specialty chemical company. The firm made news when it
settled a high-profile PCB contamination lawsuit in Alabama and appeared
to be on its way to working out balance sheet problems. However, the
company surprised the market by filing for bankruptcy. We eliminated the
bonds from the portfolio, although we still hold a small warrant
position, which gives the fund's management the option to purchase the
company's stock in the future.
Please note that all 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
Approximately half of your fund's portfolio is invested in corporate
high-yield securities, which have seen dramatic yield declines, as well
as significant narrowing in the spread, or difference, over Treasury
yields. Since the beginning of the high-yield market's rebound in
October 2002, the spread over Treasuries has narrowed by more than 600
basis points, or six percentage points. As a result, in January 2004,
your fund's distribution rate was reduced to $0.037 per share from
$0.042 per share.
The fund's management team
The fund is managed by the Putnam Core Fixed-Income Team. The members of
the team are D. William Kohli (Portfolio Leader), David Waldman
(Portfolio Member), Carl Bell, Rob Bloemker, Andrea Burke, Kevin Cronin,
Steve Horner, Michael Salm, and John Van Tassel.
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.
The fund's returns over this six-month period continued to be higher
than the historical average for global fixed-income securities because
of the optimal conditions that existed until the final month of the
period. In the United States, there has been tremendous stimulus in the
form of tax cuts, a weaker dollar, increased government spending, and
interest rates that have been at historically low levels for some time.
The greater willingness among investors to accept risk has helped boost
the capital markets, which has also provided economic stimulus. Abroad,
moderate growth and low inflation in Europe has kept rates low and
government bonds have had solid performance, while high-yield bonds have
seen strong returns similar to their U.S. counterparts.
The strengthening global economy and, in particular, evidence of strong
job growth in the United States, have changed the equation.
Historically, a tighter job market causes concerns that companies may
raise wages and pass along these higher labor costs to consumers in the
form of higher prices, leading to higher inflation. Inflation is bad for
bond investors because interest payments are fixed and lose purchasing
power when prices rise. As a result, higher inflation typically leads to
higher interest rates, and in the bond market, when rates rise, bond
prices decline.
While we cannot predict the future, the prospect of a tighter monetary
policy for the remainder of 2004 has caused our management team to seek
ways to mitigate the effects that rising rates can have on the fund's
performance. These strategies include keeping the portfolio well
diversified across a variety of geographic regions, sectors, and
holdings and reducing its interest-rate sensitivity. As always, we will
continue seeking opportunities for positive returns, while monitoring
economic and market developments and making necessary adjustments as we
see fit.
The views expressed in this report are exclusively those of Putnam
Management. They are not meant as investment advice. International
investing involves certain risks, such as currency fluctuations,
economic instability, and political developments. Lower-rated bonds may
offer higher yields in return for more risk. Mutual funds that invest in
government securities are not guaranteed. Mortgage-backed securities are
subject to prepayment risk.
Performance summary
This section shows your fund's performance during the first half of its
fiscal year, which ended April 30, 2004. In accordance with regulatory
requirements, we also include performance for the most current calendar
quarter-end. Performance should always be considered in light of a
fund's investment strategy. Data represent past performance. Past
performance does not guarantee future results. More recent returns may
be less or more than those shown. Investment return, net asset value,
and market price will fluctuate and you may have a gain or a loss when
you sell your shares.

Notes to financial statements
April 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
Note 1
Significant accounting policies
Putnam Master Income Trust (the "fund") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, closed-end
management investment company. The investment objective of the fund is
to seek high current income consistent with the preservation of capital.
The fund intends to diversify its investments among the following three
sectors of the fixed-income securities market: a U.S. investment-grade
sector, consisting of debt obligations of the U.S. government and
investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds, a high-yield sector, consisting
of high yielding, lower-rated U.S. corporate fixed income securities and
an international sector, consisting of obligations of foreign
governments, their agencies and instrumentalities and other fixed-income
securities denominated in foreign currencies.
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 their
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 fair 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. Many securities markets and exchanges outside the
U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and
therefore the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such
exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but
before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Accordingly, on certain
days, the fund will fair value foreign securities taking into account
multiple factors, including movements in the U.S. securities markets.
The number of days on which fair value prices will be used will depend
on market activity and it is possible that fair value prices will be
used by the fund to a significant extent. 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 arrange ments,
into a joint trading account along with the cash of other registered
investment companies and certain other accounts managed by Putnam
Investment Management, LLC ("Putnam Management"), the fund's manager, an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam, LLC. 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 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, net of applicable withholding taxes, 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, if any, 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. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the statement
of assets and liabilities. 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 and written option contracts outstanding at period end, if any,
are listed after the fund's portfolio.
H) 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 received or made
are recorded as realized gains 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. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the statement of assets
and liabilities. Interest rate swap contracts outstanding at period
end, if any, are listed after the fund's portfolio.
I) Credit default contracts The fund may enter into credit default
contracts where one party, the protection buyer, makes an upfront
payment to a counter party, the protection seller, in exchange for the
right to receive a contingent payment. The maximum amount of the payment
may equal the notional amount, at par, of the underlying index or
security as a result of a related credit event. An upfront payment
received by the fund, as the protection seller, is recorded as a
liability on the fund's books. An upfront payment made by the fund, as
the protection buyer, is recorded as an asset 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. The risk of loss may exceed the fair value of
these contracts recognized on the statement of assets and liabilities.
Credit default contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed
after the fund's portfolio.
J) 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 fair value of the underlying
securities, 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.
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.
K) 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 (the "Code"), 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, 2003, the fund had a capital loss carryover of
$88,941,607 available to the extent allowed by tax law to offset future
net capital gain, if any. The amount of the carryover and the
expiration dates are:
Loss Carryover Expiration
- ---------------------------------
$3,536,796 October 31, 2006
23,414,014 October 31, 2007
11,528,221 October 31, 2008
15,951,444 October 31, 2009
34,511,132 October 31, 2010
The aggregate identified cost on a tax basis is $390,208,259, resulting
in gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of $18,589,423 and
$21,680,636, respectively, or net unrealized depreciation of $3,091,213.
L) 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
Compensation of Putnam Management, for management and investment
advisory services is paid quarterly based on the average net assets of
the fund. Such fee is based on the following annual rates: 0.75% of the
first $500 million of average weekly net assets.
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 subsidiary of Putnam, LLC. Putnam
Investor Services, a division of PFTC, provides investor servicing agent
functions to the fund. During the six months ended April 30, 2004, the
fund paid PFTC $261,923 for these services.
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, 2004,
the fund's expenses were reduced by $10,774 under these arrangements.
Each independent Trustee of the fund receives an annual Trustee fee, of
which $820, as a quarterly retainer, 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 Trustee compensation and expenses in the
statement of operations. Accrued pension liability is included in
Payable for Trustee compensation and expenses in the statement of assets
and liabilities.
Note 3
Purchases and sales of securities
During the six months ended April 30, 2004, cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of investment securities other than U.S. government
securities and short-term investments aggregated $129,046,034 and
$191,570,860, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government
securities aggregated $32,692,197 and $6,067,575, respectively.
Note 4
Regulatory matters and litigation
On April 8, 2004, Putnam Management entered into agreements with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Massachusetts Securities
Division representing a final settlement of all charges brought against
Putnam Management by those agencies on October 28, 2003 in connection
with excessive short-term trading by Putnam employees and, in the case
of the charges brought by the Massachusetts Securities Division, by
participants in some Putnam-administered 401(k) plans. The settlement
with the SEC requires Putnam Management to pay $5 million in
disgorgement plus a civil monetary penalty of $50 million, and the
settlement with the Massachusetts Securities Division requires Putnam
Management to pay $5 million in restitution and an administrative fine
of $50 million. The settlements also leave intact the process
established under an earlier partial settlement with the SEC under which
Putnam Management agreed to pay the amount of restitution determined by
an independent consultant, which may exceed the disgorgement and
restitution amounts specified above, pursuant to a plan to be developed
by the independent consultant.
Putnam Management, and not the investors in any Putnam fund, will bear
all costs, including restitution, civil penalties and associated legal
fees stemming from both of these proceedings. The SEC's and
Massachusetts Securities Division's allegations and related matters also
serve as the general basis for numerous lawsuits, including purported
class action lawsuits filed against Putnam Management and certain
related parties, including certain Putnam funds. Putnam Management has
agreed to bear any costs incurred by Putnam funds in connection with
these lawsuits. Based on currently available information, Putnam
Management believes that the likelihood that the pending private
lawsuits and purported class action lawsuits will have a material
adverse financial impact on the fund is remote, and the pending actions
are not likely to materially affect its ability to provide investment
management services to its clients, including the Putnam funds.
Review of these matters by counsel for Putnam Management and by separate
independent counsel for the Putnam funds and their independent Trustees
is continuing.

Item 10. Controls and Procedures:
- ---------------------------------
(a) The registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial
officer have concluded, based on their evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the registrant's
disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of
the filing date of this report on Form N-CSR, that the design and
operation of such procedures are generally effective to provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by
the investment company in the reports that it files or submits under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Commission's rules and forms.
Although such officers reached the conclusion expressed in the
preceding paragraph, they are aware of matters that raise concerns
with respect to controls, each of which arose in connection with the
administration of 401(k) plans by Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company.
The first matter, which occurred in early 2001, involved the willful
circumvention of controls by certain Putnam employees in connection
with the correction of operational errors with respect to a 401(k)
client's investment in certain Putnam Funds, which led to losses in
five Putnam Funds (not including the registrant). Such officers
became aware of this matter in February 2004. The second matter,
which occurred in 2002, involved the willful circumvention by
certain Putnam employees of policies and procedures in connection
with the payment of Putnam corporate expenses. Such officers did
not learn that this matter involved a Putnam Fund until January
2004. Putnam has made restitution to the affected Funds,
implemented a number of personnel changes, including senior
personnel, begun to implement changes in procedures to address these
items and informed the SEC, the Funds' Trustees and independent
auditors. An internal investigation and review of procedures and
controls are currently ongoing.
In reaching the conclusion expressed herein, the registrant's
principal executive officer and principal financial officer
considered a number of factors, including the nature of the matters
described above, when the matters occurred, the individuals
involved, personnel changes that have occurred since these matters
occurred, the results to date of the current ongoing investigation
and the overall quality of controls at Putnam at this time.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting:

under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the officer
certifications as required by Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 are filed herewith.
