Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust 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 3-31-04 [GRAPHIC OMITTED: WATCH] [SCALE LOGO OMITTED] From the Trustees [GRAPHIC OMITTED: PHOTO OF JOHN A. HILL AND GEORGE PUTNAM, III] John A. Hill and George Putnam, III Dear Fellow Shareholder: Although generally benign, recent conditions in financial markets have hardly been predictable. Over the past 12 months, massive stimulus from the 2003 tax cuts and from the Federal Reserve Board's low interest-rate policy has vanquished recessionary forces, restored economic growth, and recharged corporate earnings. In this environment, bonds have generally performed well but have been negatively influenced by an uncharacteristic lack of job growth that has kept bond yields near their lowest levels in 40 years. However, in months when job creation has surged, concerns about higher interest rates have caused bond prices to fall. In addition to these issues, terrorism and geopolitical uncertainty remain factors that occasionally influence markets, as when stocks slid and bonds rallied following the March terrorist bombings in Spain. Putnam's portfolio management teams have vigilantly monitored all of these factors and know there are opportunities and risks in any environment. They consistently adjust fund portfolios to pursue the opportunities their research identifies while seeking to manage risk exposure. During the period ended March 31, 2004, your fund benefited from being well diversified in a variety of sectors -- nearly all of which showed solid performance -- and from a favorable currency strategy. Your fund's largest sector, high-yield corporate bonds, was also its best-performing, while mortgage-backed securities, the performance of which was dampened by bond market volatility, still had positive returns. Meanwhile, because of its attractive yield compared with historically low market interest rates, your fund's return at market price was higher than its return at net asset value, reflecting an increase in demand from investors seeking higher income. In the following report, the fund's management teams provide a detailed discussion of their approach to the market environment that prevailed during the period, as well as an outlook for the remainder of 2004. Respectfully yours, /S/ JOHN A. HILL /S/ GEORGE PUTNAM, III John A. Hill George Putnam, III Chairman of the Trustees President of the Funds May 19, 2004 Report from Fund Management Fund highlights * During the semiannual period ended March 31, 2004, Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust had a total return at net asset value (NAV) of 7.66%. The fund's return at market price was 11.56%. * Due to its emphasis on high-yield bonds and investments in emerging-market securities, as well as a beneficial currency strategy, the fund's results at NAV outperformed the 3.05% return of its primary benchmark, the Lehman Government/Credit Bond Index. * The fund's return at NAV was in line with the 7.61% average return of the Lipper Flexible Income Funds (closed-end) category. This relatively small category -- consisting of 12 funds at period-end -- contains some funds with significant emerging-market weightings. * The fund's return at market price was significantly higher than its return at NAV, reflecting an increase in demand among investors seeking higher yields in a market in which yields have continued to decline. * 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 Intermediate Income Trust benefited from a variety of positive factors. The U.S. economy continued to show solid growth, which was especially beneficial for corporate high-yield bonds -- which make up the largest portion of your fund's portfolio. In the second half of the reporting period, the U.S. economy faltered on significant weakness in new job creation, causing a correction in the stock market and a strong rally in Treasury bonds, as investors believed that the sluggish job market could keep interest rates low. Overseas, emerging markets continued to perform well, due in part to higher commodity prices, and slower growth in Europe generally helped bond performance in that region. In this environment, the fund's strategy of seeking returns from a variety of fixed-income sources proved beneficial for both its absolute and relative performance. FUND PROFILE Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust seeks high current income and relative stability by investing in limited-maturity bonds in the investment-grade and high-yield sectors, as well as non-U.S. bond markets. The fund is designed for investors seeking high current income, asset class diversification, or both. Market overview The global bond markets have benefited from a downward trend in interest rates brought on by a change in the outlook for economic growth. During the first half of the period, interest rates were more 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. However, low inflation and an accommodative Federal Reserve monetary policy helped bond yields to trend generally downward. In the second half of the period, there was increasing evidence that the U.S. recovery would not be as strong as anticipated, particularly when the February jobs report indicated lackluster employment creation. This news (which appeared premature after stronger data was reported after the period's end), combined with increasing geopolitical concerns surrounding the bombings in Spain, made investors somewhat more risk averse and sparked a rally in U.S. Treasuries. 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. Although both U.S. Treasuries and European government bonds performed well, investors continued to seek out bonds that could provide higher levels of income. 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. In emerging markets, the strengthening global economy has helped boost commodities exports, bolstering both the stock and bond markets of these countries, and attracting yield-hungry investors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MARKET SECTOR PERFORMANCE 6 MONTHS ENDED 3/31/04 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonds ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lehman Government/Credit Bond Index (U.S. Treasury and agency securities) 3.05% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JP Morgan Chase Global Diversified Emerging Markets Index (global emerging-market bonds) 8.03% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Citigroup Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index (international government bonds) 8.38% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JP Morgan Chase Global High Yield Index (global high-yield corporate bonds) 8.78% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equities ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- S&P 500 Index (broad stock market) 14.08% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Russell 2000 Growth Index (small-company growth stocks) 18.97% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Russell 2000 Value Index (small-company value stocks) 24.42% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These indexes provide an overview of performance in different market sectors for the six months ended 3/31/04. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 and remained the fund's largest weighting. However, after one of the best periods ever for this sector -- which began well before this period, in October 2002, 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. However, we found alternative securities within this sector that performed well. The fund's holdings of U.S. Treasuries benefited from the 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 deemphasized the Japanese yen in the first three months, when that currency declined. However, we increased the fund's exposure to the yen in the second half, when it appreciated, so both positions helped performance. We emphasized the euro, which generally appreciated during the period, and maintained emphasis on the Australian dollar, which also appreciated due to higher commodities prices and increasing exports to China and Japan.

Weightings are shown as a percentage of total investment portfolio. Holdings will vary over time. How sectors and 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, helping 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 (the latter was reduced near the end of the period, as we took advantage of strong performance). 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 Turkey and Brazil, which tend 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 had 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. 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 -- and indeed, for the 12 months preceding it -- have been much higher than the historical average for these types of securities because of optimal conditions. 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. Meanwhile, there have been few clear signs from the Federal Reserve Board that significant rate increases will occur in 2004. 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. While we believe it is not likely that the performance of the past six months will be repeated in the near future, that doesn't necessarily mean, in our view, that the environment for these markets will turn negative. Instead, we believe there is enough uncertainty in the outlook to warrant cautiousness. On the one hand, the global economy and the world's fixed-income markets appear on sound footing in most regions. On the other hand, a significant rise in interest rates or an increase in geopolitical turmoil -- or both -- could produce shock waves in the financial markets. Given these uncertainties, we plan to keep the portfolio well diversified and as balanced as possible among a variety of geographic regions, sectors, and holdings. We will continue seeking opportunities for positive returns, and, as always, monitor economic and market developments and make necessary adjustments to the portfolio 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. Additional risks may be associated with emerging-market securities, including illiquidity and volatility. 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.

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. Financial highlights provide an overview of the fund's investment results, per-share distributions, expense ratios, net investment income ratios, and portfolio turnover in one summary table, reflecting the five most recent reporting periods. In a semiannual report, the highlight table also includes the current reporting period. For open-end funds, a separate table is provided for each share class.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. Notes to financial statements March 31, 2004 (Unaudited) Note 1 Significant accounting policies Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, closed-end management investment company and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The fund's investment objective is to seek, with equal emphasis, high current income and relative stability of net asset value, by allocating its investments among the U.S. investment grade sector, high-yield sector and international sector. The fund invests in higher yielding, lower rated bonds that have a higher rate of default due to the nature of the investments. 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 arrangements, 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. 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) 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 fair 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, if any, are listed after the fund's portfolio. L) Security lending The fund may lend securities, through its agents, to qualified borrowers in order to earn additional income. The loans are collateralized by cash and/or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is allocated to the fund on the next business day. The risk of borrower default will be borne by the fund's agents; the fund will bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the cash collateral. Income from securities lending is included in investment income on the Statement of operations. At March 31, 2004, the value of securities loaned amounted to $1,004,245. The fund received cash collateral of $1,032,630 which is pooled with collateral of other Putnam funds into 25 issuers of high grade short-term investments. M) 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 September 30, 2003, the fund had a capital loss carryover of $139,616,926 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 ----------------------------------- $2,792,982 September 30, 2004 1,554,563 September 30, 2005 10,039,981 September 30, 2007 25,640,537 September 30, 2008 24,593,458 September 30, 2009 27,431,170 September 30, 2010 47,564,235 September 30, 2011 Pursuant to federal income tax regulations applicable to regulated investment companies, the fund has elected to defer to its fiscal year ending September 30, 2004, $3,314,449 of losses recognized during the period November 1, 2002 to September 30, 2003. The aggregate identified cost on a tax basis is $741,433,623, resulting in gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of $45,426,861 and $35,190,515, respectively, or net unrealized appreciation of $10,236,346. N) 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: 0.75% of the first $500 million of average weekly net assets, 0.65% of the next $500 million, 0.60% of the next $500 million, and 0.55% 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 subsidiary of Putnam, LLC. Putnam Investor Services, a division of PFTC, provides investor serving agent functions to the fund. During the six months ended March 31, 2004, the fund paid PFTC $367,504 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 March 31, 2004, the fund's expenses were reduced by $24,133 under these arrangements. Each independent Trustee of the fund receives an annual Trustee fee, of which $1,175, 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 March 31, 2004, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities other than U.S. government securities and short-term investments aggregated $314,329,693 and $384,817,207, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities aggregated $57,537,974 and $6,182,166, 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.

[Reserved] ------------------ Item 9. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders: ------------------------------------------------------------ Not applicable 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: Not applicable Item 11.
