| | Gain From Our Perspective® |
| | |
| | Franklin Templeton’s distinct multi-manager structure combines the specialized expertise of three world-class investment management groups— Franklin, Templeton and Mutual Series. |
| | |
SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE | | Each of our portfolio management groups operates autonomously, relying on its own research and staying true to the unique investment disciplines that underlie its success. |
| | |
| | Franklin. Founded in 1947, Franklin is a recognized leader in fixed income investing and also brings expertise in growth- and value-style U.S. equity investing. |
| | |
| | Templeton. Founded in 1940, Templeton pioneered international investing and, in 1954, launched what has become the industry’s oldest global fund. Today, with offices in over 25 countries, Templeton offers investors a truly global perspective. |
| | |
| | Mutual Series. Founded in 1949, Mutual Series is dedicated to a unique style of value investing, searching aggressively for opportunity among what it believes are undervalued stocks, as well as arbitrage situations and distressed securities. |
| | |
TRUE DIVERSIFICATION | | Because our management groups work independently and adhere to different investment approaches, Franklin, Templeton and Mutual Series funds typically have distinct portfolios. That’s why our funds can be used to build truly diversified allocation plans covering every major asset class. |
| | |
RELIABILITY YOU CAN TRUST | | At Franklin Templeton Investments, we seek to consistently provide investors with exceptional risk-adjusted returns over the long term, as well as the reliable, accurate and personal service that has helped us become one of the most trusted names in financial services. |

Shareholder Letter
Dear Shareholder:
U.S. economic activity expanded for most of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010. Although many observers considered the global recession over, most economists warned that growth would be sluggish as consumers and the financial system continued to climb out of debt.
The federal funds target rate remained unchanged over the period at a historically low range of 0% to 0.25%; however, the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) was very active and employed other strategies to help stem the crisis, resulting in a substantial increase in its balance sheet. The Fed established various lending and liquidity facilities and through quantitative easing purchased mortgage securities and Treasuries, all in an effort to encourage long-term interest rates to move lower. In testimony to Congress in February 2010, Chairman Bernanke once again stated that short-term rates were likely to remain exceptionally low for an extended period until the Fed feels a broader economic recovery has taken hold.
Most major financial markets showed signs of recovery, and equity markets staged a strong rally beginning in March 2009. During the spring of 2010, fears surrounding the European Monetary Union (EMU) economy undermined investor confidence in global markets, leading to significant equity market sell-offs and renewed demand for the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds. At period-end, many investors wondered whether the situation in the EMU, and Greece in particular, would lead to a wider contagion around the world.
Globally, overall inflation remained tame during the year under review. In the U.S., Chairman Bernanke began to prepare markets for the unwinding of the Fed’s accommodative policy and the exit strategy for its lending and liquidity facilities. On February 18, 2010, the Fed raised the largely symbolic discount rate to 0.75%. This first tightening move was designed to encourage banks to

borrow short-term funds from money markets rather than the central bank. At the end of March 2010, the Fed ended its year-long program of buying agency mortgage-backed securities.
The municipal bond market experienced a healthy rebound in the 12-month period under review; the Barclays Capital (BC) Municipal Bond Index returned +8.52%, and securities with maturities 22 years and longer, which make up a substantial portion of the Fund’s portfolio, returned +13.53%.1
Although it looked as if the banking and financial crisis may have turned the corner and economic recovery was under way, we think a note of caution is still warranted. We believe such areas of the economy as employment, housing, state and local government budgets, and the finance and banking sector will continue to face challenges as the economy grows unevenly out of the recession. Another area of concern is the large, projected federal budget deficit and its potential long-term effect on interest rates and economic growth.
We believe it is especially important during uncertain times to keep a clear head and long-term outlook and to consult with your financial advisor. Your financial advisor can review your portfolio and help you reassess your needs, goals and risk tolerance. We firmly believe that most people benefit from professional advice, and that advice is invaluable as investors navigate changing market conditions.
Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund’s annual report goes into greater detail about municipal bond market conditions during the period. In addition, you will find performance data, financial information and a discussion from the portfolio managers. Please remember that all securities markets fluctuate, as do mutual fund share prices. Municipal bonds can provide tax-free income and diversification from equities. Despite periods of volatility, municipal bonds have a solid long-term record of performance, driven mostly by their income component.

Performance Overview
The Fund’s Class A share price, as measured by net asset value, increased from $11.34 on May 31, 2009, to $11.76 on May 31, 2010. The Fund’s Class A shares paid dividends totaling 49.63 cents per share for the reporting period.2 The Performance Summary beginning on page 10 shows that at the end of this reporting period the Fund’s Class A shares’ distribution rate was 3.95% based on an annualization of May’s 4.04 cent per share dividend and the maximum offering price of $12.28 on May 31, 2010. An investor in the 2010 maximum combined effective federal and New York state and City personal income tax bracket of 42.91% would need to earn a distribution rate of 6.92% from a taxable investment to match the Fund’s Class A tax-free distribution rate. For the Fund’s Class B, C an d Advisor shares’ performance, please see the Performance Summary. During the period under review, renewed investor interest in municipal bonds and limited new-issue supply tended to reduce the Fund’s income, which caused dividends to decline.

State Update
New York’s economy continued to improve over the 12-month period as manufacturing activity, retail and tourism strengthened. The state’s economy found further relief from billions of dollars in federal aid that propped up banks on Wall Street and fueled a rebound in the state’s vital financial services industry. Wall Street’s improved profits and bonuses in 2009 over the previous year supported state revenues. The state’s unemployment rate declined slightly and fared better than many states during the period. The unemployment rate was 8.3% in May 2010, compared with the 9.7% national rate.3 Construction had the greatest job losses as the commercial real estate and housing markets remained soft. Several sectors experienced some job growth such as education and health services and mining and logging.
The state budget, however, was challenged by declining income and sales tax revenues. New York officials worked to bridge a $3 billion budget shortfall midway through the 2009 fiscal year by implementing a package of one-time solutions, which left a $500 million gap.4 In January 2010, revenue collections came in well below estimates, further widening the gap. Governor Paterson successfully closed the gap with an additional $1.1 billion in enhanced federal fiscal relief for the state.4 For the 2010-2011 fiscal year, the governor faced a

projected $9.2 billion deficit that delayed the budget’s adoption and pressured local governments.5 The governor worked to eliminate the gap through spending reductions and long-term reforms, including yearly reductions in school aid, health care costs and state agency spending.
One of New York’s ongoing issues was its high debt ratios. Net tax-supported debt as a percentage of personal income was 6.5% and debt per capita was $3,135, compared with the national medians of 2.5% and $936.6 New York’s debt ratios reflected the issuance of tobacco bonds and a refunding of New York City Municipal Assistance Corporation debt used to provide budget relief for the City. Moody’s Investors Service rated New York’s general obligation bonds Aa3 with a stable outlook.7 Moody’s assessment was based on its expectation the state would enact timely and largely recurring solutions to address expected budget shortfalls.

6 | Annual Report
Index posted a total return of +8.52%.8 In contrast, the U.S. Treasury market trailed the tax-exempt market during this reporting period with a +4.50% total return as measured by the BC U.S. Treasury Index.9
Despite municipal bonds’ relative strength, many tax-free bonds retained their pre-tax yield advantage over Treasuries. As of May 31, 2010, the 4.93% yield of the BC Municipal Bond Index: Long Component exceeded the 4.00% yield of the BC U.S. Treasury Index: Long Component.10 Investors continued to purchase municipal bond mutual fund shares even though budgetary pressures at state and local levels and concerns regarding some issuers’ abilities to repay debt were well publicized. Many municipal bonds were re-rated during the period due to a changing economic landscape, rating downgrades of bond insurers, and reconciliation between corporate and municipal rating scales. Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch recalibrated ratings for many state and local government issuers to bring them in line with corporate and sovereign ratings . In some cases, these changes resulted in as much as a three-notch rating increase. These positive rating actions coupled with a long-term default rate for investment-grade municipal bonds of less than 1% helped remind investors of the asset class’s historical underlying credit strength.11 Investor interest also increased for lower investment-grade and speculative-grade issues during the reporting period, which drove up the BC Baa Municipal Bond Index 13.69% and the BC Municipal Bond High Yield Index 21.01%, compared with the BC Aaa Municipal Bond Index’s +5.84% total return.12
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of February 2009 allowed municipalities to issue taxable bonds and receive a 35% federal government subsidy for all coupon payments distributed to investors for the life of the bonds. This subsidy enabled municipalities to borrow significantly below their after-tax cost in the traditional tax-exempt municipal bond market.

In May 2010, the House of Representatives modified and approved certain provisions of the Act. If these modifications become law, municipalities would continue to receive a subsidy for their taxable borrowing at 32% starting in 2011 and 30% in 2012. New-issue supply decreased to $103.5 billion in first quarter 2010 from $120.8 billion in fourth quarter 2009.13 Of the $103.5 billion in issuance, $33.7 billion, or 32.5%, was issued in the form of taxable municipals.13 This decrease in tax-free supply, at a time when many observers believed taxes are likely to rise in the future, supported the municipal bond market’s strong performance. We continued to believe these new, subsidized, taxable municipal bonds, known as Build America Bonds, may suppress future supply of tax-exempt municipal bonds as long as the government permits their use.
Given the various ratings changes, the relatively steep yield curve, and the reduced tax-exempt supply during the reporting period, we looked for opportunities to keep the portfolio fully invested in longer term bonds.
Investment Strategy
We use a consistent, disciplined strategy in an effort to maximize tax-exempt income for our shareholders by seeking to maintain exposure to higher coupon securities. We generally employ a buy-and-hold approach and invest in securities that we believe should provide the most relative value in the market. As we invest during different interest rate environments, our portfolio becomes progressively more diversified with a broad range of securities. This broad diversification may help mitigate interest rate risk. We do not use leverage or exotic derivatives, nor do we use hedging techniques that could add volatility and contribute to underperformance in adverse markets. We generally stay fully invested to help maximize income distribution.
Manager’s Discussion
Our value-oriented philosophy of investing primarily for income and a positive sloping municipal yield curve favored longer term bonds during the reporting period. Consistent with our strategy, we sought to remain fully invested in bonds ranging from 20 to 30 years in maturity with good call features. We sought to take advantage of strong retail demand for highly rated essential service bonds and sold some AA- and AAA-rated securities that were purchased in a lower municipal bond interest rate environment. We also sold some of the Fund’s highly liquid prerefunded bonds at a premium as institutional investors provided

liquidity for municipal bonds escrowed in government securities. We used the proceeds to purchase bonds we believed were trading at very attractive relative values in the current, higher interest rate environment.
In line with our relative value investment strategy, and to further reduce volatility, we avoided derivative securities and other exotic investment vehicles designed to leverage the portfolio. During the period, the Fund had no exposure to inverse floaters or any other form of leverage. Also, as the alternative minimum tax (AMT) affects more individuals each year, we held no bonds subject to AMT to prevent a taxable situation for individuals subject to AMT.
We intend to maintain our conservative, buy-and-hold investment strategy as we attempt to provide shareholders with high, current, tax-free income. Thank you for your continued participation in Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

Total Return Index Comparison for a Hypothetical $10,000 Investment
Total return represents the change in value of an investment over the periods shown. It includes any current, applicable, maximum sales charge, Fund expenses, account fees and reinvested distributions. The unmanaged index includes reinvestment of any income or distributions. It differs from the Fund in composition and does not pay management fees or expenses. One cannot invest directly in an index.

Endnotes
Because municipal bonds are sensitive to interest rate movements, the Fund’s yield and share price will fluctuate with market conditions. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as prices of bonds adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. Since the Fund concentrates its investments in a single state, it is subject to greater risk of adverse economic and regulatory changes in that state than a geographically diversified fund. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.
| | |
| | |
Class B: | | These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares. |
| | |
Class C: | | Prior to 1/1/04, these shares were offered with an initial sales charge; thus actual total returns would have differed. These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares. |
| | |
Advisor Class: | | Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus. |
| | |
1. | | Cumulative total return represents the change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. |
| | |
2. | | Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. |
| | |
3. | | In accordance with SEC rules, we provide standardized average annual total return information through the latest calendar quarter. |
| | |
4. | | Distribution rate is based on an annualization of the respective class’s May dividend and the maximum offering price (NAV for Classes B, C and Advisor) per share on 5/31/10. |
| | |
5. | | Taxable equivalent distribution rate and yield assume the published rates as of 12/24/09 for the maximum combined effective federal and New York state and City personal income tax rate of 42.91%, based on the federal income tax rate of 35.00%. |
| | |
6. | | The 30-day standardized yield for the 30 days ended 5/31/10 reflects an estimated yield to maturity (assuming all portfolio securities are held to maturity). It should be regarded as an estimate of the Fund’s rate of investment income, and it may not equal the Fund’s actual income distribution rate (which reflects the Fund’s past dividends paid to shareholders) or the income reported in the Fund’s financial statements. |
| | |
7. | | Figures are as stated in the Fund’s prospectus current as of the date of this report. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual Fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown. |
| | |
8. | | Effective 10/1/01, the Fund began offering Advisor Class shares, which do not have sales charges or a Rule 12b-1 plan. Performance quotations for this class reflect the following methods of calculation: (a) For periods prior to 10/1/01, a restated figure is used based upon the Fund’s Class A performance, excluding the effect of Class A’s maximum initial sales charge, but reflecting the effect of the Class A Rule 12b-1 fees; and (b) for periods after 9/30/01, actual Advisor Class performance is used reflecting all charges and fees applicable to that class. Since 10/1/01 (commencement of sales), the cumulative and average annual total returns of Advisor Class shares were +50.95% and +4.87%. |

To be included in the index, bonds must be fixed rate, have at least one year to final maturity and be rated investment grade (Baa3/BBB- or higher) by at least two of the following agencies: Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), calculated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is a commonly used measure of the inflation rate. |

Your Fund’s Expenses
As a Fund shareholder, you can incur two types of costs:
• | | Transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on Fund purchases; and |
• | | Ongoing Fund costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses. |
The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.
Actual Fund Expenses
The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual account values and expenses. The “Ending Account Value” is derived from the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses.
You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps. Of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration:
1. | | Divide your account value by $1,000.
If an account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6. |
2. | | Multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
If Expenses Paid During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 x $7.50 = $64.50. |
In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Funds
Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund’s actual return. The figure under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Your Fund’s Expenses (continued)
Please note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges. Therefore, the second line for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your total costs would have been higher. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.

Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end investment company, consisting of one fund, the Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund (Fund). The Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, and Advisor Class. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.
The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.
a. Security Valuation
Municipal securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. The Fund may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from bond dealers, and information with respect to bond and note transactions, to assist in determining a current market value for each security. The Fund’s pricing services use valuation models or matrix pricing, which considers information with respect to comparable bond and note transactions, quotations from bond dealers or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate and maturity date, to determine current value.
The Fund has procedures to determine the fair value of individual securities and other assets for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. Methods for valuing these securities may include: fundamental analysis, matrix pricing, discounts from market prices of similar securities, or discounts applied due to the nature and duration of restrictions on the disposition of the securities. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such investments existed. Occasionally, events occur between the time at which trading in a security is completed and the close of the NYSE that might call into question the availability (including the reliability) of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services. All security valuation procedures are approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
b. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis
The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of holding the securities, it may sell the securities before the settlement date. Sufficient assets have been segregated for these securities.

Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
c. Income Taxes
It is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its income and net realized gains. As a result, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Fund files U.S. income tax returns as well as tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. As of May 31, 2010, and for all open tax years, the Fund has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Open tax years are those that remain subject to examination by such taxing authorities, which in the case of the U.S. is three years after the filing of a fund’s tax return.
d. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities are included in interest income. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined on a tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences are not reclassified, as they may revers e in subsequent periods.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, not including class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in per share distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific expenses.
e. Insurance
The scheduled payments of interest and principal for each insured municipal security in the Fund are insured by either a new issue insurance policy or a secondary insurance policy. Some municipal securities in the Fund are secured by collateral guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Insurance companies typically insure municipal bonds that tend to be of very high quality, with the majority of underlying municipal bonds rated A or better. However, there is a risk that in the event of an issuer default, the insurer may not be able to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the policy.
Depending on the type of coverage, premiums for insurance are either added to the cost basis of the security or paid by a third party.

Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
f. Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
g. Redemption Fees
A short term trading redemption fee was imposed, with some exceptions, on any Fund shares that were redeemed or exchanged within seven calendar days following their purchase date. The redemption fee was 2% of the amount redeemed. Such fees were retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. Effective September 1, 2008, the redemption fee was eliminated.
h. Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest
At May 31, 2010, there were an unlimited number of shares authorized (without par value). Transactions in the Fund’s shares were as follows:

4. Income Taxes
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
Distributions paid from: | | | | | | | | |

Long term capital gain | | | 7,384,438 | | | | 24,225,042 | |
| | |
| | $ | 264,815,201 | | | $ | 262,963,225 | �� |
| | |
At May 31, 2010, the cost of investments, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed tax exempt and ordinary income and undistributed long term capital gains for income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | |
Cost of investments | | $ | 6,401,101,928 | |
| | | |
| | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 296,521,214 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (13,275,963 | ) |

| | | |
Distributable earnings | | $ | 9,773,152 | |
| | | |
Net investment income differs for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments of bond discounts and regulatory settlements.
Net realized gains (losses) differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatment of bond discounts.
5. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term securities) for the year ended May 31, 2010, aggregated $1,723,056,619 and $792,055,028, respectively.
6. Concentration of Risk
The Fund invests a large percentage of its total assets in obligations of issuers within New York and U.S. territories. Such concentration may subject the Fund to risks associated with industrial or regional matters, and economic, political or legal developments occurring within New York and U.S. territories. In addition, investments in these securities are sensitive to interest rate changes and credit risk of the issuer and may subject the Fund to increased market volatility. The market for these investments may be limited, which may make them difficult to buy or sell.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
7. Upcoming Acquisitions/Reorganization
On April 13, 2010, the Board of Trustees for the Fund approved a proposal to reorganize New York Insured Tax-Free Income Fund into the Fund. Upon completion of the reorganization, assets in Franklin New York Insured Tax-Free Income Fund will be transferred into the Fund.
8. Credit Facility
The Fund, together with other U.S. registered and foreign investment funds (collectively “Borrowers”), managed by Franklin Templeton Investments, are borrowers in a joint syndicated senior unsecured credit facility totaling $750 million (Global Credit Facility) which matures on January 21, 2011. This Global Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the ability to meet future unanticipated or unusually large redemption requests.
Under the terms of the Global Credit Facility, the Fund shall, in addition to interest charged on any borrowings made by the Fund and other costs incurred by the Fund, pay its share of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and maintenance of the Global Credit Facility, based upon its relative share of the aggregate net assets of all of the Borrowers, including an annual commitment fee of 0.10% based upon the unused portion of the Global Credit Facility, which is reflected in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the year ended May 31, 2010, the Fund did not utilize the Global Credit Facility.
9. Fair Value Measurements
The Fund follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:
| • | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| | | |
| • | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.) |
| | | |
| • | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At May 31, 2010, all of the Fund’s investments in securities carried at fair value were in Level 2 inputs.

10. New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update which enhances and clarifies existing fair value measurement disclosure requirements and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Fund believes the adoption of this Accounting Standards Update will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
11. Subsequent Events
The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the financial statements and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Fund”) at May 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements base d on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission require the Fund to disclose whether the Fund’s Audit Committee includes at least one member who is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of such Act and Rules. The Fund’s Board has determined that there is at least one such financial expert on the Audit Committee and has designated John B. Wilson as its audit committee financial expert. The Board believes that Mr. Wilson qualifies as such an expert in view of his extensive business background and experience, including service as chief financial officer of Staples, Inc. from 1992 to 1996. Mr. Wilson has been a Member and Chairman of the Fund’s Audit Committee since 2007. As a result of such background and experience, the Board believes that Mr. Wilson has acquired an understanding of generally accepted accounting princi ples and financial statements, the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting estimates, accruals and reserves, and analyzing and evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues generally comparable to those of the Fund, as well as an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and an understanding of audit committee functions. Mr. Wilson is an independent Board member as that term is defined under the relevant Securities and Exchange Commission Rules and Releases.

Board Review of Investment Management Agreement
At a meeting held February 23, 2010, the Board of Trustees (Board), including a majority of non-interested or independent Trustees, approved renewal of the investment management agreement for the Fund. In reaching this decision, the Board took into account information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual renewal review process. Information furnished and discussed throughout the year included investment performance reports and related financial information for the Fund, as well as periodic reports on shareholder services, legal, compliance, pricing, and other services provided by the Investment Manager (Manager) and its affiliates. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal process included a report for the Fund prepared by Lipper, Inc. (Lipper), an independent organization, as well as additional material, including a Fund profitability analysis report prepared by management. The Lipper report compared the Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other mutual funds deemed comparable to the Fund as selected by Lipper. The Fund profitability analysis report discussed the profitability to Franklin Templeton Investments from its overall U.S. fund operations, as well as on an individual fund-by-fund basis. Included with such profitability analysis report was information on a fund-by-fund basis listing portfolio managers and other accounts they manage, as well as information on management fees charged by the Manager and its affiliates to U.S. mutual funds and other accounts, including management’s explanation of differences where relevant and a three-year expense analysis with an explanation for any increase in expense ratios. Additional material accompanying such report was a memorandum prepared by management describing project initiatives and capital investments re lating to the services provided to the Fund by the Franklin Templeton Investments organization, as well as a memorandum relating to economies of scale and a comparative analysis concerning transfer agent fees charged the Fund.
In considering such materials, the independent Trustees received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent counsel. In approving continuance of the investment management agreement for the Fund, the Board, including a majority of independent Trustees, determined that the existing management fee structure was fair and reasonable and that continuance of the investment management agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses some primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES. The Board was satisfied with the nature and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and its affiliates to the Fund and its shareholders. In addition to investment performance and expenses discussed later, the Board’s opinion was based, in part, upon periodic reports furnished it showing that the investment policies and restrictions for the Fund were consistently complied with as well as other reports periodically furnished the Board covering matters such as the compliance of portfolio managers and other management personnel with the code of ethics adopted throughout the Franklin Templeton fund complex, the adherence to fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, and the accuracy of net asset value calculations. The Board also noted the extent of benefi ts provided Fund shareholders from being part of the Franklin Templeton family of funds, including the right to exchange

Board Review of Investment Management Agreement (continued)
investments between the same class of funds without a sales charge, the ability to reinvest Fund dividends into other funds and the right to combine holdings in other funds to obtain a reduced sales charge. Favorable consideration was given to management’s continuous efforts and expenditures in establishing back-up systems and recovery procedures to function in the event of a natural disaster, it being noted that such systems and procedures had functioned smoothly during the Florida hurricanes and blackouts experienced in recent years. Consideration was also given to the experience of the Fund’s portfolio management team, the number of accounts managed and general method of compensation. In this latter respect, the Board noted that a primary factor in management’s determination of a portfolio manager’s bonus compensation was the relative investment performance of the funds he or she managed and that a portion of such bonus was required to be invested in a predesignated list of funds within such person’s fund management area so as to be aligned with the interests of Fund shareholders. The Board also took into account the quality of transfer agent and shareholder services provided Fund shareholders by an affiliate of the Manager, noting continuing expenditures by management to increase and improve the scope of such services, periodic favorable reports on such service conducted by third parties, and the continuous enhancements to and high industry ranking given to the Franklin Templeton website. Particular attention was given to management’s conservative approach and diligent risk management procedures, including continuous monitoring of counterparty credit risk and attention given to derivatives and other complex instruments. The Board also took into account, among other things, management’s efforts in establishing a global credit facility for the benefit of the Fund and ot her accounts managed by Franklin Templeton Investments to provide a source of cash for temporary and emergency purposes or to meet unusual redemption requests as well as the strong financial position of the Manager’s parent company and its commitment to the mutual fund business as evidenced by its subsidization of money market funds. The Board also noted management’s efforts to minimize any negative impact on the nature and quality of services provided the Fund arising from Franklin Templeton Investments’ implementation of a hiring freeze and employee reductions in response to market conditions during the latter part of 2008 and early 2009.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Fund in view of its importance to shareholders. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings during the year, particular attention in assessing such performance was given to the Lipper report furnished for the agreement renewal. The Lipper report prepared for the Fund showed the investment performance of its Class A shares during the year ended December 31, 2009, as well as the previous 10 years ended that date in comparison to a performance universe consisting of all retail and institutional New York municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s income return for 2009 to be in the second-highest quintile of its Lipper performance universe, and on an annualized basis to be in the second-highest quintile of such universe for the previous three-year period, and in the highest quintile of such universe for each of the previous five- and 10-year periods. The Lipper report showed the Fund’s total return to be in the second-lowest quintile of its performance universe, but its total return for each of the previous three-, five- and 10-year periods on an annualized basis to be in the highest quintile of the Lipper performance universe.

Board Review of Investment Management Agreement (continued)
Management explained that the Fund’s relative total performance in 2009 reflected its conservative holding strategy of not utilizing leverage or derivatives or high yield debt, which types of instruments had performed well in the 2009 market recovery. The Board expressed its satisfaction with such performance, noting management’s explanation and the fact that the primary investment objective of the Fund is to obtain a high level of tax-exempt income.
COMPARATIVE EXPENSES. Consideration was given to a comparative analysis of the management fees and total expense ratio of the Fund compared with those of a group of other funds selected by Lipper as its appropriate Lipper expense group. Lipper expense data is based upon information taken from each fund’s most recent annual report, which reflects historical asset levels that may be quite different from those currently existing, particularly in a period of market volatility. While recognizing such inherent limitation and the fact that expense ratios generally increase as assets decline and decrease as assets grow, the Board believed the independent analysis conducted by Lipper to be an appropriate measure of comparative expenses. In reviewing comparative costs, Lipper provides information on the Fund’s management fe e in comparison with the contractual investment management fee that would have been charged by other funds within its Lipper expense group assuming they were similar in size to the Fund, as well as the actual total expenses of the Fund in comparison with those of its Lipper expense group. The Lipper contractual investment management fee analysis includes administrative charges as being part of a management fee, and total expenses, for comparative consistency, are shown by Lipper for Fund Class A shares. The Lipper report showed the contractual investment management fee rate for the Fund to be in the second least expensive quintile of its Lipper expense group, and its actual total expense ratio to be in the least expensive quintile of such expense group. The Board was satisfied with the expenses of the Fund in comparison to its Lipper expense group as shown in the Lipper report.
MANAGEMENT PROFITABILITY. The Board also considered the level of profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Fund. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Fund profitability analysis that addresses the overall profitability of Franklin Templeton’s U.S. fund business, as well as its profits in providing management and other services to the Fund during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2009, being the most recent fiscal year-end for Franklin Resources, Inc., the Manager’s parent. In reviewing the analysis, attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs to the Fund, it being recognized that allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may each be reasonable while producing different results. In th is respect, the Board noted that, while being continuously refined and reflecting changes in the Manager’s own cost accounting, the allocation methodology was consistent with that followed in profitability report presentations for the Fund made in prior years and that the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm had been engaged by the Manager to review the reasonableness of the allocation methodologies solely for use by the Fund’s Board in reference to the profitability analysis. In reviewing and discussing such analysis, management discussed with the Board its belief that costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the type of mutual fund operations conducted by the Manager and its
56 | Annual Report

Board Review of Investment Management Agreement (continued)
affiliates may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to the Fund in determining its profitability, as well as the fact that the level of profits, to a certain extent, reflected operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by management. The Board also took into account management’s expenditures in improving shareholder services provided the Fund, as well as the need to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and recent SEC and other regulatory requirements. In addition, the Board considered a third-party study comparing the profitability of the Manager’s parent on an overall basis to other publicly held managers broken down to show profitability from management operations exclusive of distribution expenses, as well as profitability including distribution expenses. The Board also considered the extent to which the Manager an d its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including its interest in a joint venture entity that financed up-front commissions paid to brokers/dealers who sold fund Class B shares prior to February 2005 when the offering of such shares was discontinued. Based upon its consideration of all these factors, the Board determined that the level of profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent of services provided.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Board also considered whether economies of scale are realized by the Manager as the Fund grows larger and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of management fees charged. While recognizing that any precise determination is inherently subjective, the Board noted that based upon the Fund profitability analysis, it appears that as some funds get larger, at some point economies of scale do result in the Manager realizing a larger profit margin on management services provided such a fund. The Board also noted that economies of scale are shared with a fund and its shareholders through management fee breakpoints so that as a fund grows in size, its effective management fee rate declines. The fee structure under the Fund’s investment management agreement provides an initial fee of 0.625% o n the first $100 million of assets; 0.50% on the next $150 million of assets; 0.45% on the next $7.25 billion of net assets; 0.44% on the next $2.5 billion of net assets; 0.43% on the next $2.5 billion of net assets; 0.42% on the next $2.5 billion of net assets; and thereafter declines by 0.02% for each subsequent $2.5 billion of net assets until it reaches a final breakpoint of 0.36% for assets in excess of $20 billion. The Fund’s net assets were approximately $6.2 billion at December 31, 2009, and the Board believes that to the extent any economies of scale may be realized by the Manager and its affiliates, the schedule of fees under the investment management agreement provides a sharing of benefits with the Fund and its shareholders.
