Annual Report

State Update and Municipal Bond Market Overview

California’s large and diverse economy continued to expand during the past 12 months under review. Universities, innovative businesses and declining, yet still moderately high, debt ratios supported the state’s expansion. Job growth in the state outpaced that of the nation, positioning its economy for faster overall economic growth and pushing revenues higher. The state gained jobs in most sectors with the largest increases including education and health services; professional and business services; leisure and hospitality; trade, transportation and utilities; and government. Additionally, relatively fewer jobs were lost in the mining and logging and manufacturing sectors. Unemployment declined throughout the period from 6.2% in June 2015 to 5.4% at period-end, although it was still above the 4.9% national rate.¹

The state experienced strong revenue trends aided by temporary tax increases and a multi-year bull market for equities. Its largest three revenue sources are personal income tax, sales tax and corporation tax. According to California’s 2016–2017 budget summary, revenues in the state’s general fund could benefit from the growing economy with high levels of capital gains and strong growth in wages. Capital gains-related tax revenues are volatile, however, and might be influenced by unpredictable financial markets. California paid down budgetary debts and continued to align recurring revenues and expenses during the period under review. As a result, the state ended fiscal year 2015 with a balanced budget, while increasing spending for education, health care and social services.

California’s net tax-supported debt was $2,323 per capita and 4.7% of personal income, compared with the $1,025 and 2.5% national medians.²In April 2016, independent credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s (S&P) affirmed its rating of California’s general obligations bonds at AA- with a stable outlook.³The rating reflected S&P’s view on the state’s expanding economy, prominent higher education institutions, good and increasing budgetary reserve levels, strong overall liquidity and declining debt ratios. In contrast, S&P cited several challenges to the state including high housing costs, a volatile revenue structure, large retirement benefit liabilities and a large backlog of deferred maintenance and infrastructure. Nevertheless, the stable outlook reflected S&P’s view that California has brought its finances into structural alignment and generated modest operating surpluses.

The municipal bond market outperformed the U.S. Treasury and U.S. stock markets during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2016. Investment-grade municipal bonds, as measured by the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, generated a +7.65% total return for the period, while U.S. Treasuries, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Treasury Index, posted a +6.22% total return.⁴U.S. equities, as represented by the Standard & Poor’s^®500 Index, underperformed with a +3.99% total return for the reporting period.⁴The underperformance of U.S. equities was partly fueled by concerns about global economic growth, particularly a continuing slowdown in China and sluggish economic activity in Europe and Japan. Sustained price declines in the commodities markets also put downward pressure on U.S. equities. These factors led to a perceived flight to quality, which seemed to benefit municipal bondholders. In addition, in our opinion, municipal bonds continued to offer significant value relative to Treasuries because of their tax-exempt yields and relatively low risk.

After raising its target range for the federal funds rate to 0.25%–0.50% at its December meeting, the Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained the rate through-period end. Although the Fed had hinted for an interest rate hike in June, subsequent reports showed job additions slowed substantially in May. Consequently, at its June meeting, the Fed kept the federal funds rates unchanged, and indicated that in determining the timing and size of future adjustments to the target range, it will assess realized and expected economic conditions relative to its objectives of maximum employment and 2.00% inflation. The Fed expects economic conditions to evolve in a manner that could warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate. Benchmark 10-year and 30-year tax-exempt interest rates ended the period lower than where they began.

Municipal bond funds finished the period with 39 consecutive weeks of inflows, reflecting solid demand for tax-exempt debt. Bonds with longer maturities generally performed better than bonds with shorter maturities. In addition, high yield municipal bonds fared better than investment-grade municipal bonds. High yield tax-exempt bonds, as measured by the Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index, generated a +12.09% total

return for the period.⁴Approximately $349 billion in bonds were issued over the past 12 months; this was offset, however, by the nearly $327 billion in bonds that either matured or were called out of the market, making net supply flat for the period.⁵

Several developments affected Puerto Rico bonds over the reporting period. Puerto Rico and its municipal issuers continued to experience significant financial difficulties, which created additional strain on a commonwealth already facing economic stagnation and fiscal imbalances. These challenges also led to liquidity issues including reduced access to the financial markets.

On October 21, 2015, the Obama Administration presented its proposals to help address the Puerto Rico situation to the U.S. Congress. The proposals included: granting Puerto Rico a “super-Chapter 9” framework to reorganize ALL of Puerto Rico’s debts, a Congressionally-created independent fiscal oversight board for the island, equal treatment for Puerto Rico on the disbursement of Medicaid benefits, and Puerto Rico’s participation in the Earned Income Tax Credit program.

The House Committee on Natural Resources introduced a bill, named the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA) on May 19, 2016, that would provide an oversight board as well as a restructuring process. PROMESA was approved by Congress and signed into law by President Obama on June 30, 2016. The next step is for President Obama to appoint the members of the oversight board, which we expect will happen in July. It is unclear at this time what potential impact, if any, that PROMESA may have on ongoing restructuring discussions, including discussions with PREPA detailed below.

We look forward to continuing to work with Puerto Rico and its new oversight board to promote responsible solutions to the island’s fiscal and economic problems so it may regain needed access to the capital markets.

As part of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) forbearing creditor group (Ad Hoc Group), we have been participating in discussions related to the PREPA bonds we own. On December 23, 2015, PREPA and more than 70% of its creditors reached an agreement on an Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement (RSA) that would provide, among other things, for a restructuring of PREPA debt at 85 cents on the dollar for some of its outstanding debt, and outlined a Bond Purchase Agreement (BPA) whereby certain of those creditors would purchase new bonds to be issued by PREPA. In our view, the implementation of the RSA would provide the basis for PREPA to provide more reliable and lower-cost service, fund its capital needs for the medium term, help ensure environmental compliance, diversify generation resources to include more natural gas, and provide jobs.

Legislation to establish the necessary securitization framework for the new PREPA debt was passed on February 16, 2016. In June, the Puerto Rico Energy Commission approved a “transition” charge to PREPA customers that will secure the new debt that will be issued to facilitate the PREPA restructuring. In May and June, certain bondholders, including certain Franklin Municipal Bond Funds, purchased $115 million of bonds pursuant to the BPA. The BPA was amended in late June and bondholders, including Franklin Municipal Bond Funds, purchased another $264 million on June 30, 2016.

On April 5, 2016, the Governor signed legislation allowing him to impose a debt moratorium on most debt issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies and that stays all related litigation until January 2017. On April 18, 2016, the Puerto Rico House of Representatives passed an amendment to the Debt Moratorium Act exempting certain credits such as general obligation (GO) bonds, Puerto Rico Sales Tax Finance Corp. (COFINA) debt, and certain securitizations, including the proposed PREPA securitization bond described above. The Puerto Rico Senate approved legislation to exempt PREPA as well as debt from a few other agencies on May 16, 2016. The Governor did not sign this legislation prior to period-end.

In June 2014, Puerto Rico enacted its own bankruptcy law called the Debt Enforcement and Recovery Act (DERA). Certain Franklin Municipal Bond Funds and another fund family quickly brought suit against Puerto Rico saying, among other things, that the U.S. Bankruptcy Code pre-empted DERA. In July 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit ruled 3-0 in our favor, affirming the prior ruling by the District Court in Puerto Rico that the U.S. Bankruptcy Code pre-empts DERA. Puerto Rico appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which heard the case on March 22, 2016, and on June 13, 2016 ruled 5-2 to uphold the First Circuit ruling.

At period-end, we maintained our positive view of the municipal bond market. We believe municipal bonds continue to be an attractive asset class among fixed income securities,

Annual Report

Franklin California Insured Tax-Free Income Fund

We are pleased to bring you Franklin California Insured Tax-Free Income Fund’s annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. The Fund closed to all new investments (other than reinvestment of dividends or capital distributions) at the close of market on March 1, 2013.

The Board of Trustees of Franklin California Tax-Free Trust approved a proposal to reorganize the Franklin California Insured Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Fund”) with and into the Franklin California Tax-Free Income Fund. It is anticipated that in the third quarter of 2016, shareholders of the Fund will receive a Proxy and Prospectus/Proxy Statement requesting their votes on the reorganization. If approved by the Fund’s shareholders, the transaction is currently expected to be completed on or about October 28, 2016.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide as high a level of income exempt from federal and California personal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of capital by investing at least 80% of its net assets in insured municipal securities that pay interest free from such taxes.^1,2

Performance Overview

The Fund’s Class A share price, as measured by net asset value, increased from $12.96 on June 30, 2015, to $13.58 on June 30, 2016. The Fund’s Class A shares paid dividends totaling 52.09 cents per share for the same period.³The Performance Summary beginning on page 8 shows that at the end of this reporting period the Fund’s Class A shares’ distribution rate was 3.70%, based on an annualization of June’s 4.37 cent per share dividend and the maximum offering price of $14.18 on June 30, 2016. An investor in the 2016 maximum combined effective federal and California personal income tax bracket of 50.83% (including 3.8% Medicare tax) would need to earn a distribution rate of 7.52% from a taxable investment to match the Fund’s Class A tax-free distribution rate. For the Fund’s Class C and Advisor shares’ performance, please see the Performance Summary.

such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch, that can be considered by the
investment manager as part of its independent securities analysis. When ratings
from multiple agencies are available, the highest is used, consistent with the
portfolio investment process. Ratings reflect an NRSRO’s opinion of an issuer’s
creditworthiness and typically range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). The Below
Investment Grade category consists of bonds rated below BBB-. The Refunded
category generally consists of refunded bonds secured by U.S. government or
other high-quality securities and not rerated by an NRSRO. The Not Rated category
consists of ratable securities that have not been rated by an NRSRO. Cash and

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 while balancing risk and return within the Fund’s range of allowable investments. We generally employ a buy-and-hold approach and invest in securities we believe should provide the most relative value in the market. We do not use leverage or derivatives, nor do we use hedging techniques that could add volatility and contribute to underperformance in adverse markets.

1. For investors subject to alternative minimum tax, a small portion of Fund dividends may be taxable. Distributions of capital gains are generally taxable. To avoid imposition of
28% backup withholding on all Fund distributions and redemption proceeds, U.S. investors must be properly certified on Form W-9 and non-U.S. investors on Form W-8BEN.
2. Fund shares are not insured by any U.S. or other government agency. They are subject to market risks and will fluctuate in value.
3. The distribution amount is the sum of the dividend payments to shareholders for the period shown and includes only estimated tax-basis net investment income. All Fund
distributions will vary depending upon current market conditions, and past distributions are not indicative of future trends.

Manager’s Discussion

Consistent with our strategy, we sought to remain invested in bonds that maintain an average weighted maturity of 15 to 30 years with good call features. Based on the combination of our value-oriented philosophy of investing primarily for income and a positively sloping municipal yield curve, in which interest rates for longer term bonds are higher than those for shorter term bonds, we favored the use of longer term bonds. We believe our conservative, buy-and-hold investment strategy can help us achieve relatively high, current, tax-free income for shareholders.

Since the 2008 financial crisis, insurance penetration in the municipal bond market has greatly decreased, with fewer qualified bond insurers (rated BBB or better) offering insurance on new issues of municipal securities. These circumstances led to a decrease in the supply of insured municipal securities and a consolidation among municipal bond insurers, thereby concentrating the insurance company credit risk with respect to securities in the Fund’s portfolio among fewer municipal bond insurers. Accordingly, effective at the close of the market on March 1, 2013, the Fund was closed to all new investments (other than reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions).

FRANKLIN CALIFORNIA INSURED TAX-FREE INCOME FUND
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. 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 in the Fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. Because the Fund invests principally in a single state, it is subject to greater risk of adverse economic and regulatory changes in that state than a geographically diversified fund. Changes in the credit rating of a bond, or in the credit rating or financial strength of a bond’s issuer, insurer or guarantor, may affect the bond’s value. The Fund may invest a significant part of its assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects, such as utilities, hospitals, higher education and transportation. A change that affects one project would likely affect all similar projects, thereby increasing market risk. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.


Class C:	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. The distribution amount is the sum of the dividend payments to shareholders for the period shown and includes only estimated tax-basis net investment income.
2. Cumulative total return represents the change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.
3. Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. Return for less than one year, ifany,hasnotbeen
annualized.
4. Figures are as stated in the Fund’s current prospectus and may differ from the expense ratios disclosed in the Financial Highlights 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.
5. Effective 10/31/08, 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 10/31/08, 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 10/31/08, actual Advisor Class performance is used reflecting all
charges and fees applicable to that class. Since 10/31/08 (commencement of sales), the cumulative and average annual total returns of Advisor Class shares were +67.72%
and +6.98%.
6. Distribution rate is based on an annualization of the respective class’s June dividend and the maximum offering price (NAV for Classes C and Advisor) pershareon6/30/16.
7. Taxable equivalent distribution rate and yield assume the published rates as of 6/16/16 for the maximum combined effective federal and California personal income tax rate of
50.83%, based on the federal income tax rate of 39.60% plus 3.8% Medicare tax. This combined rate does not consider the impact of California’s surcharge on taxable income
in excess of $1 million.
8. The Fund’s 30-day standardized yield is calculated over a trailing 30-day period using the yield to maturity on bonds and/or the dividends accrued on stocks. It may not equal
the Fund’s actual income distribution rate, which reflects the Fund’s past dividends paid to shareholders.

FRANKLIN CALIFORNIA INSURED TAX-FREE INCOME FUND

Your Fund’s Expenses

As a Fund shareholder, you can incur two types of costs:

Transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on Fund purchases, if applicable; and
Ongoing Fund costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, if applicable, 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.

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.


		Beginning Account		Ending Account		Expenses Paid During
Share Class		Value 1/1/16		Value 6/30/16		*Period 1/1/16–6/30/16**
A
Actual	$	1,000	$	1,053.20	$	3.01

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month expense ratio, annualized for each class (A: 0.59%; C: 1.15%; and Advisor: 0.50%),
multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 to reflect the one-half year period.

share dividend and the maximum offering price of $12.79 on June 30, 2016. An investor in the 2016 maximum combined effective federal and California personal income tax bracket of 50.83% (including 3.8% Medicare tax) would need to earn a distribution rate of 5.10% from a taxable investment to match the Fund’s Class A tax-free distribution rate. For the Fund’s Class C and Advisor shares’ performance, please see the Performance Summary. Dividend distributions were affected by continued low interest rates during the period. This and other factors resulted in reduced income for the portfolio and caused dividends to be lower at the end of the period.

Investment Strategy

Manager’s Discussion

Consistent with our strategy, we sought to remain invested in bonds that maintain an average weighted maturity of three to 10 years. We believe our conservative, buy-and-hold investment strategy can help us achieve relatively high, current, tax-free income for shareholders.

Puerto Rico’s municipal bond market is widely traded because of its federal and state tax-exemption advantages. After Puerto Rico enacted legislation in June 2014 related to bankruptcy protection for public corporations, Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch downgraded ratings of Puerto Rico and many of its public corporations and authorities, which were already below investment grade. In February 2015, after a federal judge ruled the legislation unconstitutional, the rating agencies downgraded Puerto Rico’s general obligation bond rating even further. The Fund is not required to sell securities that have been downgraded to below investment grade, but it is prohibited from making further purchases of such securities as long as they are not rated investment grade by at least one U.S. nationally recognized rating service. Rating actions combined with news related to the commonwealth’s financial position and future financing endeavors caused the Puerto Rico bond market to experience volatility during the reporting period.

Thank you for your continued participation in Franklin California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Income Fund. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

FRANKLIN CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE-TERM TAX-FREE INCOME FUND
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. 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 in the Fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. Because the Fund invests principally 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 holds a small portion of its assets in Puerto Rico municipal bonds thathave been impacted by recent adverse economic and market changes, which may cause the Fund’s share price to decline. Changes in the credit rating of a bond, or in the credit rating or financial strength of a bond’s issuer, insurer or guarantor, may affect the bond’s value. The Fund may invest a significant part of its assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects, such as utilities, hospitals, higher education and transportation. A change that affects one project would likely affect all similar projects, thereby increasing market risk. The Fund is actively managed but there is no guarantee that the manager’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.


Class C:	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. The distribution amount is the sum of the dividend payments to shareholders for the period shown and includes only estimated tax-basis net investment income.
2. Cumulative total return represents the change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.
3. Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. Return for less than one year, ifany,hasnotbeen
annualized.
4. Figures are as stated in the Fund’s current prospectus and may differ from the expense ratios disclosed in the Financial Highlights 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.
5. Effective 10/31/08, 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 10/31/08, 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 10/31/08, actual Advisor Class performance is used reflecting all
charges and fees applicable to that class. Since 10/31/08 (commencement of sales), the cumulative and average annual total returns of Advisor Class shares were +54.89%
and +5.88%.
6. Distribution rate is based on an annualization of the respective class’s June dividend and the maximum offering price (NAV for Classes C and Advisor) pershareon6/30/16.
7. Taxable equivalent distribution rate and yield assume the published rates as of 6/16/16 for the maximum combined effective federal and California personal income tax rate of
50.83%, based on the federal income tax rate of 39.60% plus 3.8% Medicare tax. This combined rate does not consider the impact of California’s surcharge on taxable income
in excess of $1 million.
8. The Fund’s 30-day standardized yield is calculated over a trailing 30-day period using the yield to maturity on bonds and/or the dividends accrued on stocks. It may not equal
the Fund’s actual income distribution rate, which reflects the Fund’s past dividends paid to shareholders.
9. Source: Morningstar. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index: 10-Year Component is the 10-year (8-12) component of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, which is a market
value-weighted index engineered for the long-term tax-exempt bond market. 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, S&P and Fitch.

Your Fund’s Expenses

As a Fund shareholder, you can incur two types of costs:

Transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on Fund purchases, if applicable; and
Ongoing Fund costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, if applicable, and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses.

Actual 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.

Performance Overview

The Fund’s Class A1 share price, as measured by net asset value (NAV), increased from $10.00 on June 30, 2015, to $10.01 on June 30, 2016.²The Fund’s Class A1 shares paid dividends totaling 0.2372 cents per share for the same period.³The Performance Summary beginning on page 22 shows that at the end of this reporting period the Fund’s Class A1 shares’ distribution rate was 0.12%, based on an annualization of June’s 0.1038 cent per share dividend and the net asset value of $10.01 on June 30, 2016. An investor in the 2016 maximum combined effective federal and California personal income tax bracket of 50.83% (including 3.8% Medicare tax) would need to earn a distribution rate of 0.24% from a taxable investment to match the Fund’s Class A1 tax-free distribution rate. For the Fund’s Advisor shares’ performance, please see the Performance Summary.

Investment Strategy

1. For investors subject to alternative minimum tax, a small portion of Fund dividends may be taxable. Distributions of capital gains are generally taxable. To avoid imposition of
28% backup withholding on all Fund distributions and redemption proceeds, U.S. investors must be properly certified on Form W-9 and non-U.S. investors on Form W-8BEN.
2. In order to provide comparable performance information and avoid performance distortions that result from combining the historical rate information of Franklin California
Tax-Exempt Money Fund ( California Money Fund ), which during its period of operations had a stated NAV of $1.00, with the performance of the Fund, which had an initial
NAV of $10.00 that subsequently fluctuated, the NAVs and distributions of California Money Fund were adjusted by a factor of 10.
3. The distribution amount is the sum of the dividend payments to shareholders for the period shown and includes only estimated tax-basis net investment income. All Fund
distributions will vary depending upon current market conditions, and past distributions are not indicative of future trends.

The dollar value, number of shares or principal amount, and names of all portfolio holdings are listed in the Fund’s Statement of Investments (SOI).

Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.


Class A1:	Class A1 shares were offered only to shareholders of the Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund (California Money Fund) in connection with the reorga-
	nization of the California Money Fund into the Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund and additional shares are only available for purchase by
	certain shareholders who received Class A1 shares in connection with the reorganization and continue to remain shareholders of the Fund. Class A1 shares
	are not available to new investors.
Advisor Class:	Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus.

1. On 3/18/16, the Fund, having no assets of its own, acquired all of the assets and liabilities of California Money Fund through a reorganization. The California Money Fund
was the accounting survivor of the reorganization and as a result Class A1 and Advisor Class shares of the Fund have adopted California Money Fund’s Class A share’s
historical performance record prior to 3/18/16. For periods after the date of reorganization, the Fund’s actual Class A1 and Advisor Class performance is reported, reflecting all
charges and fees applicable to each share class. Given the significant differences between a money fund (California Money Fund) and this fund (a non-money fund), including
with the investment objective and strategies as well as the fee/expense structure, performance prior to 3/18/16 may not be representative of this Fund’s future performance.
2. In order to provide comparable performance information and avoid performance distortions that result from combining the historical rate information of California Money Fund,
which during its period of operations had a stated NAV of $1.00, with the performance of the Fund, which had an initial NAV of $10.00 that subsequently fluctuated, the NAVs
and distributions of California Money Fund were adjusted by a factor of 10.
3. The distribution amount is the sum of the dividend payments to shareholders for the period shown and includes only estimated tax-basis net investment income.
4.The Fund has an expense reduction contractually guaranteed through at least 10/31/17. Fund investment results reflect the expense reduction, to the extent applicable;
without this reduction, the results would have been lower.
5. Cumulative total return represents the change in value of an investment over the periods indicated.
6. Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. Return for less than one year, ifany,hasnotbeen
annualized.
7. Figures are as stated in the Fund’s current prospectus and may differ from the expense ratios disclosed in the Financial Highlights 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. Distribution rate is based on an annualization of the respective class’s June dividend and the NAV per share on 6/30/16.
9. Taxable equivalent distribution rate and yield assume the published rates as of 6/16/16 for the maximum combined effective federal and California personal income tax rate of
50.83%, based on the federal income tax rate of 39.60% plus 3.8% Medicare tax. This combined rate does not consider the impact of California’s surcharge on taxable income
in excess of $1 million.

YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

On March 18, 2016, Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund reorganized into Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund. Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund was the accounting survivor of the reorganization. Expenses for Class A1 and Advisor Class shares for the period from January 1, 2016, to March 18, 2016, are those of the Class A shares of Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund.


		Beginning Account		Ending Account		Expenses Paid
Share Class		Value 1/1/16		Value 6/30/16		During Period*

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)	$	1,000	$	1,024.42	$	0.45

*Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month expense ratio, net of expense waivers, annualized for each class (A1: 0.09% and
Advisor: 0.09%), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 to reflect the one-half year period.

Due to certain voluntary expense waivers, expenses of the Class A shares of Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund were lower than current Class A1 and Advisor Class expenses of Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund. As a result of these differences in expenses, Class A1 and Advisor Class expenses paid from January 1, 2016, to June 30, 2016, may not be representative of future Class A1 and Advisor Class expenses of Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund. The below table reflects the expenses of Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund for Class A1 and Advisor Class from March 18, 2016, to June 30, 2016, and assumes those expenses had been in place throughout the entire most recent fiscal half-year.

**Expenses for calculating the most recent six-month annualized expense ratio, assume that Class A1 and Advisor Class expenses from
March 18, 2016, to June 30, 2016, had been in effect for the entire six-month period and resulted in an expense ratio, net of expense waivers,
for each class (A1: 0.27% and Advisor: 0.27%), which is then multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 to
reflect the one-half year period.

FRANKLIN CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Franklin California Tax-Free Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company, consisting of three separate funds (Funds) and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The classes of shares offered within each of the Funds are indicated below. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, voting rights on matters affecting a single class, its exchange privilege and fees primarily due to differing arrangements for distribution and transfer agent fees.

Class A1 and Advisor Class

Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund

Class A, Class C & Advisor Class

Franklin California Insured Tax-Free Income Fund

Franklin California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Income Fund

Franklin California Insured Tax-Free Income Fund was closed to all new investments (other than reinvestments of dividends capital gain distributions) at the close of market on March 1, 2013.

Effective March 18, 2016, Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund reorganized with and into Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund, a new fund created for the purpose of the reorganization. Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund was the accounting survivor of the reorganization, and financial information prior to March 18, 2016 is that of Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund. In connection with the reorganization Class A shareholders of Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund received Class A1 shares of Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund. Additional shares of Class A1 will only be available for purchase by certain shareholders who received class A1 shares in connection with the reorganization and continue to remain shareholders of the Fund. Class A1 shares will not be available to new investors. In addition, effective March 18, 2016, Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund began offering a new class of shares, Advisor Class. See Note 8 for additional information.

The following summarizes the Funds’ significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Funds’ investments in financial instruments are carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Funds calculate the net asset value (NAV) per share as of 4 p.m. Eastern time each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading. Under compliance policies and procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Funds’ administrator has responsibility for oversight of valuation, including leading the cross-functional Valuation Committee (VC). The VC provides administration and oversight of the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures, which are approved annually by the Board. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

Debt securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. The Funds’ pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, anticipated market interest rate volatility, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value.

Securities in Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund prior to date of reorganization were valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Amortized cost is an income-based approach which involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

The Funds have procedures to determine the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not reliable or readily available. Under these procedures, the VC convenes on a regular basis to review such financial instruments and considers a number of factors, including significant

franklintempleton.com

FRANKLIN CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

unobservable valuation inputs, when arriving at fair value. The VC primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The VC employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, and reviews of any related market activity.

b. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis

Certain or all Funds 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 Funds will generally purchase these securities with the intention of holding the securities, they may sell the securities before the settlement date. Sufficient assets have been segregated for these securities.

c. Income Taxes

It is each Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. Each Fund intends to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its income and net realized gains to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes. As a result, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.

Each Fund may recognize an income tax liability related to its uncertain tax positions under U.S. GAAP when the uncertain tax position has a less than 50% probability that it will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on its technical merits. As of June 30, 2016, each Fund has determined that no tax liability is required in its financial statements related to uncertain tax positions for any open tax years (or expected to be taken in future tax years). Open tax years are those that remain subject to examination and are based on each tax jurisdiction’s statute of limitation.

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. Dividends from net investment income are normally declared daily; these dividends may be reinvested or paid monthly to shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined on a tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 reverse in subsequent periods.

Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the Funds based on the ratio of net assets of each Fund to the combined net assets of the Trust. Fund specific expenses are charged directly to the Fund that incurred the expense.

For all Funds except Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund, 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.

For Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund, net investment income, not including class specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative value of the settled shares of each class. Realized and unrealized gains and losses 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 trust are insured by either a new issue insurance policy or a secondary insurance policy. Some municipal securities in the Funds are secured by collateral

FRANKLIN CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Significant Accounting

Policies (continued)

e. Insurance (continued)

guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. 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.

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, an event involving an insurer could have an adverse effect on the value of the securities insured by that insurance company. There can be no assurance the insurer will be able to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the policy.

f. Accounting Estimates

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. 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 Funds, 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 expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S.
GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and

Additionally, Advisers has voluntarily agreed to waive or limit a portion of its investment management fees for Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund to the extent necessary to allow the Fund to pay a monthly dividend at an annualized distribution rate of 0.25%.

Advisers may discontinue this waiver at any time upon notice to the Fund’s Board.

Prior to March 18, 2016 (date of reorganization), in efforts to prevent a negative yield for Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund, Advisers and FT Services had voluntarily agreed to waive or limit their respective fees, assume as their own expense certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund and if necessary, make a capital infusion into the Fund.

6. Concentration of Risk

Certain or all Funds invest a large percentage of their total assets in obligations of issuers within California and U.S. territories. Such concentration may subject the Funds to risks associated with industrial or regional matters, and economic, political or legal developments occurring within California and U.S. territories. Investing in Puerto Rico securities may expose the Funds to heightened risks due to recent adverse economic and market changes, credit downgrades and ongoing restructuring discussions. In addition, investments in these securities are sensitive to interest rate changes and credit risk of the issuer and may subject the Funds to increased market volatility. The market for these investments may be limited, which may make them difficult to buy or sell.

7. Upcoming Reorganization

On May 17, 2016, the Board for Franklin California Tax-Free Trust approved a proposal to reorganize Franklin California Insured Tax-Free Income Fund with and into Franklin California Tax-Free Income Fund, subject to approval by the shareholders of Franklin California Insured Tax-Free Income Fund.

8. Reorganization

Pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved on February 26, 2016 by the shareholders of Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund (Acquired Fund), Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund (Surviving Fund), having no assets of its own, acquired 100% of the Acquired Fund’s net assets, primarily made up of investment securities, through a tax-free exchange of 6,936,914 shares of the Surviving Fund (valued at $69,408,092) and assumed all of the Acquired Fund’s liabilities. The Acquired Fund was the accounting survivor of the reorganization, and financial information prior to March 18, 2016 is that of the Acquired Fund.

The primary purpose for the reorganization was to combine the Acquired Fund with the Surviving Fund that has generally similar investment goals, principal strategies and principal risks but was not subject to the portfolio credit quality, liquidity, maturity and diversification standards applicable to money market funds pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. The estimated cost of the reorganization was $134,845 of which Advisers and the Acquired Fund each paid 50%. The Acquired Fund’s actual portion of reorganization cost in excess of the estimated cost accrued at time of reorganization are included with other fees in the Surviving Fund’s Statement of Operations.

In order to provide comparable accounting and performance information and avoid performance distortions that result from combining the historical rate records of the Acquired Fund, which during the Acquired Fund’s period of operations had a stated NAV of $1.00, with the performance of the Surviving Fund, which has an initial NAV of $10.00 that subsequently fluctuated, the NAVs, financial highlights per share operating performance and distributions, and shares of beneficial interest of the Acquired Fund

were adjusted by a factor of 10. As a result of adopting the accounting records of the Acquired Fund by the Surviving Fund, the Surviving Fund’s pro forma results of operations, assuming the reorganization had been completed on July 1, 2015, is the same as the amounts shown for the Surviving Fund on the Statements of Operations.

Subsequent to the reorganization, the Surviving Fund has been managed as a single entity. Accordingly, it is impracticable to identify the amounts of investment income and net investment income attributable to the Acquired Fund’s assets after the completion of the reorganization.

9. Credit Facility

The Funds, except for the Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income 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 $2 billion (Global Credit Facility) which, matures on February 10, 2017. 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 Funds shall, in addition to interest charged on any borrowings made by the Funds and other costs incurred by the Funds, pay their share of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and maintenance of the Global Credit Facility, based upon their relative share of the aggregate net assets of all of the Borrowers, including an annual commitment fee of 0.07% based upon the unused portion of the Global Credit Facility. Effective February 12, 2016, the annual commitment fee is 0.15%. These fees are reflected in other expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Funds did not use the Global Credit Facility.

10. Fair Value Measurements

The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Funds’ own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ financial instruments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of financial instruments)

The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level.

For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Funds have adopted a policy of recognizing the transfers as of the date of the underlying event which caused the movement.

At June 30, 2016, all of the Funds’ investments in financial instruments carried at fair value were valued using Level 2 inputs.

11. Subsequent Events

The Funds have 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 California Tax-Free Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the statements 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 California Insured Tax-Free Income Fund, Franklin California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Income Fund and Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund ( the funds constituting the Franklin California Tax-Free Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at June 30, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, 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 based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 audits, which included confirmation of securities at June 30, 2016 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 2006. As a result of such background and
experience, the Board believes that Mr. Wilson has acquired an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles 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.

Shareholder Information

Board Review of Investment Management Agreement

At a meeting held February 23, 2016, the Board of Trustees (Board), including a majority of trustees that are not “interested persons” as such term is defined in section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (hereinafter referred to as “non-interested Trustees” or “independent Trustees”), approved renewal of the investment management agreement for each of the separate tax-exempt funds within the Trust (Fund(s)). 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 each Fund, along with periodic reports on expenses, shareholder services, legal and compliance matters, risk control, pricing and other services provided by the Investment Manager (Manager) and its affiliates, as well as marketing support payments made to financial intermediaries. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal process included a report for each Fund prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent organization, as well as additional material, including a Fund profitability analysis prepared by management. The Broadridge reports, which utilized data from Lipper, Inc. (Lipper), compared each Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other funds deemed comparable to the Fund as selected by Lipper. The Fund profitability analysis discussed the profitability to Franklin Templeton Investments (FTI) from its overall U.S. fund operations, as well as on an individual fund-by-fund basis. Additional material accompanying such profitability analysis included 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. Such material also included a memorandum prepared by management describing project initiatives and capital investments relating to the services provided to the Funds by the FTI organization, as well as a memorandum relating to economies of scale and an analysis concerning transfer agent fees charged by an affiliate of the Manager. The Board also received a report on all marketing support payments made by FTI to financial intermediaries during the past year, as well as a memorandum relating to third-party servicing arrangements in response to a Guidance Update from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to mutual fund distribution and sub-accounting fees.

In considering such materials, the independent Trustees received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent counsel. While the investment management agreements for all Funds were considered at the same Board meeting, the Board dealt with each Fund separately. In approving continuance of the investment management agreement for each 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 such 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 Funds and their shareholders. In addition to investment performance and expenses discussed later, the Board’s opinion was based, in part, upon periodic reports furnished to it showing that the investment policies and restrictions for each Fund were consistently complied with as well as other reports periodically furnished to 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 benefits provided to Fund shareholders from being part of the Franklin Templeton family of funds, including the right to exchange investments between the same class of shares of different 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 continual efforts and expenditures in establishing effective business continuity plans and developing strategies to address cybersecurity threats. Additionally, the Board noted the Manager’s continued attention to pricing and valuation issues, particularly with respect to complex securities. Consideration was also given to the experience of each 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 shareholders. The Board also took into account the quality of transfer agent and shareholder services provided Fund shareholders by an affiliate of the Manager and steps taken by FTI to enhance analytical support to the investment management groups and provide additional oversight of liquidity risk and complex securities. The Board also took into account, among other things, management’s efforts in establishing a global credit facility for the benefit of the Funds and other accounts managed by FTI 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 continued introduction of new funds and reassessment of the fund offerings in response to the market environment.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of each 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 performance was given to the Broadridge reports furnished for the agreement renewals. The Broadridge report prepared for each individual Fund showed its investment performance in comparison with a performance universe selected by Lipper. Comparative performance for each Fund was shown for the one-year period ended December 31, 2015, and for the previous 10 years ended that date. The following summarizes the performance results for each of the Funds.

Franklin California Insured Tax-Free Income Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional California municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. The Broadridge report showed that the Fund’s income return during 2015 was in the highest quintile of its performance universe and for the previous three-, five- and 10-year periods on an annualized basis was in the second-highest quintile of its performance universe. The Broadridge report also showed that the Fund’s total return during 2015 was in the second-highest performing quintile of its performance universe, and on an annualized basis was in either the highest performing or second-highest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three-, five-and 10-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s comparative performance as set forth in the Broadridge report and noted its income-oriented investment objective.

Franklin California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Income Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional California intermediate municipal debt funds as selected by Lipper. Such Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s income return in 2015 was in the second-highest quintile of such performance universe, and on an annualized basis was in either the highest or second- highest quintile of such universe for each of the previous three-, five- and 10-year periods. The Broadridge report showed that the Fund’s total return during 2015 was in the second-highest performing quintile of its performance universe and on an annualized basis was in the highest performing quintile of such universe for each of the previous three-, five- and 10-year periods. The Board was satisfied with the Fund’s comparative performance as set forth in the Broadridge report.

Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund – The performance universe for this Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional California tax-exempt money market funds as selected by Lipper. The Broadridge report showed the Fund’s total return to be in the second-lowest performing quintile of its performance universe during 2015, and on an annualized basis to be in the second-lowest performing quintile of such universe for the previous three- and 10-year periods, and the lowest performing quintile for the previous five-year period. In discussing such performance, management explained that it reflected the Fund’s conservative policy of focusing on safety and liquidity by investing primarily in short-term securities, with its portfolio having no derivative holdings or investments in non-rated securities or securities subject to the alternative minimum tax, which generally offer higher yields. The Board noted that management had proposed and the Board approved a reorganization of this Fund into the newly-formed Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund. In light of this proposed reorganization the Board found such performance acceptable, noting that the Fund’s expenses were subsidized by management to avoid net asset value falling below one dollar per share and that the median return within the Lipper performance universe for the one-year period was one basis point.

COMPARATIVE EXPENSES. Consideration was given to the management fees and total expense ratio of each Fund compared with those of a group of other funds selected by Lipper as constituting 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 each Fund’s contractual investment management fee in comparison with the contractual investment management fee rate 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 expense ratio of the Fund in comparison with those of such group. The Lipper contractual investment management fee analysis includes administrative fees as being part of management fees and total expenses for comparative consistency were shown by Lipper for Fund Class A shares in the case of Franklin California Insured Tax-Free Income Fund and Franklin California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Income Fund. The Broadridge report for Franklin California Insured Tax-Free Income Fund showed that its contractual investment fee rate was below the median of its Lipper expense group and that its actual total expense ratio was the least expensive of its Lipper expense group. The Broadridge report for Franklin California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Income Fund showed that its contractual investment fee rate was 1.8 basis points above the median of its Lipper expense group, but its actual total expense ratio was below the median of its Lipper expense group. The Board was satisfied with the management fees and total expenses of these two Funds in comparison to their Lipper expense groups. The Lipper expense comparison for Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund showed its contractual investment management fee to be 3.2 basis points higher than its Lipper expense group median, while its actual total expense ratio was below the median of such expense group. The Board was satisfied with the comparative expenses of this Fund as shown in the Broadridge report, noting the proposed reorganization of the Fund and the fact that the Fund’s expenses were subsidized by management.

MANAGEMENT PROFITABILITY. The Board also considered the level of profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the operation of each 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 each of the individual funds during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2015, being the most recent fiscal year-end for Franklin Resources, Inc., the Manager’s parent. In reviewing the analysis, the Board recognized that allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may be reasonable while producing different results. In this respect, the Board noted that while management continually makes refinements to its methodologies in response to organizational and product related changes, the overall approach as defined by the primary drivers and activity measurements has remained consistent with that used in the Funds’ profitability report presentations from prior years. Additionally, the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm had been engaged by the Manager to periodically review the reasonableness of the allocation methodologies to be used solely by the Funds’ 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 affiliates may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each 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 Funds, as well as the need to implement systems and meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from statutes such as the Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank Acts 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 and its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including revenues generated from transfer agent services, potential benefits resulting from personnel and systems enhancements necessitated by fund growth, as well as increased leverage with the service providers and counter-parties. 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 each Fund was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent of services provided, also noting with respect to Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund that expenses were being subsidized by management.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Board also considered whether economies of scale are realized by the Manager as the Funds grow larger and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of management fees charged. While recognizing any

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

precise determination is inherently subjective, the Board noted that based upon the Fund profitability analysis, it appeared 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 fund. The Board also noted that any economies of scale are shared with each of these Funds and their shareholders through management fee breakpoints existing in the Funds’ investment management agreements so that as a Fund grows in size, its effective management fee rate declines. The management fee structure, including administrative expenses, for each Fund provides for a fee of 0.625% on the first $100 million of net assets; 0.50% on the next $150 million of net assets; and 0.45% on the next $7.25 billion of net assets, with additional breakpoints continuing thereafter until reaching a final breakpoint of 0.36% for net assets in excess of $20 billion. As of December 31, 2015, the net assets of Franklin California Insured Tax-Free Income Fund were approximately $1.69 billion, and those of Franklin California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Income Fund and Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund were approximately $1.66 billion and $638 million, respectively. In discussing the fee levels, management’s position was that the existing fee rate reaches a low level quickly, which anticipates economies of scale as assets grow, and in support of such position pointed out the effective management fee rate and low total actual expense comparisons for these Funds within their Lipper expense groups as previously discussed under “Comparative Expenses.” The Board believed that to the extent economies of scale may be realized by the Manager and its affiliates, the schedule of fees under the investment management agreement for these three Funds provides a sharing of benefits with each Fund and its shareholders. The Board also noted the fact that management was subsidizing the expenses of the Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund.
