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. EX-99 3 perclass852.txt 852 Putnam New Opportunities Fund attachment 12/31/07 Semi-annual Because of the electronic format for filing Form N-SAR does not provide adequate space for responding to certain items correctly, the correct answers are as follows: 53A For the period ended December 31, 2007, Putnam Management has assumed $7,082 of legal, shareholder servicing and communication, audit and Trustee fees incurred by the fund in connection with certain legal and regulatory matters. 74U1 (000s omitted) Class A 59,193 Class B 8,853 Class C 672 74U2 (000s omitted) Class M 1,276 Class R 41 Class Y 7,348 74V1 Class A 52.41 Class B 46.30 Class C 49.13 74V2 Class M 48.69 Class R 51.81 Class Y 54.47 Item 61 Additional Information About Minimum Required Investment 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. Item 85B Additional Information About Errors and Omissions Policy While no claims with respect to the Registrant/Series were filed under such policy during the period, requests under such policy for reimbursement of legal expenses and costs arising out of claims of market timing activity in the Putnam Funds have been submitted by the investment manager of the Registrant/Series. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
