We are also responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over compliance with those requirements. We have performed an evaluation of the Fund compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 as of March 30, 2007, and from October 27, 2006 through March 30, 2007. Based on this evaluation, we assert that the Funds were in compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of March 30, 2007, and from October 27, 2006 through March 30, 2007, with respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds. Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company By: Judd Symon Senior Vice President Custody Services July 12, 2007 Date EX-99 2 auditreport.txt Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Trustees of The Putnam Funds and the Board of Directors of Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company We have examined management assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that The Putnam Funds (the Funds) complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act) as of March 30, 2007. Management is responsible for the Fund compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management assertion about the Fund compliance based on our examination. Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Fund compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of March 30, 2007, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from October 27, 2006 (the date of our last examination), through March 30, 2007: - - Obtained confirmation of all securities recordkept at banks with whom the custodian and the Funds have contracted to provide sub-custodian services including Mellon Bank, State Street Bank & Trust, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., United Missouri Bank, JP MorganChase, and Citibank; - - Reconciled all such securities to the books and records of the Funds and the sub-custodian; - - Confirmed with brokers or inspected documentation for selected securities purchased but not received; - - Examined the internal controls surrounding security purchases and security sales or maturities from the books and records of the Funds since our last report. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Fund compliance with specified requirements. In our opinion, management assertion that the Funds complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of March 30, 2007 with respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds is fairly stated, in all material respects.
