Note 7: New accounting pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (the
Interpretation). The Interpretation prescribes a
minimum threshold for financial statement recognition
of the benefit of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken by a filer in the filers tax
return. Upon adoption, the Interpretation did not
have a material effect on the funds financial statements.
However, the conclusions regarding the
Interpretation may be subject to review and
adjustment at a later date based on factors
including, but not limited to, further implementation
guidance expected from the FASB, and
on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and
interpretations thereof.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (the Standard). The Standard
defines fair value, sets out a framework for measuring
fair value and requires additional disclosures
about fair value measurements. The Standard
applies to fair value measurements already
required or permitted by existing standards. The
Standard is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007
and interim periods within those fiscal years.
Putnam Management is currently evaluating what
impact the adoption of the Standard will have on
the funds financial statements.

Additional Information About Minimum Required Investment Item 61

Shareholders can open a fund account with as little as $500 and
make subsequent investments in any amount. The minimum
investment is waived if you make regular investments weekly,
semi monthly, or monthly through automatic deductions through
your bank checking or savings account. Currently, Putnam is
waiving the minimum, but reserves the right to reject initial
investments under the minimum.
