The Fund seeks to achieve its goal by investing at least 80% of its net assets in investments denominated in hard currencies (as defined in the prospectus). The Fund normally invests mainly in high-quality short-term money market instruments and forward currency contracts denominated in foreign hard currencies, which historically have experienced low inflation rates and which, in the investment manager's view, follow economic policies conducive to continual low inflation rates and currency appreciation versus the U.S. dollar over the long term. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERFORMANCE DATA REPRESENT PAST PERFORMANCE, WHICH DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW Franklin Templeton Hard Currency Fund - Class A posted a cumulative total return of +8.06% for the 12 months under review. The Fund slightly under-performed its benchmark, the J.P. Morgan (JPM) 3 Month Global Cash Index, which posted a total return of +8.58% for the same period. 1 The Fund typically does not attempt to directly match the composition of the index; thus the results are not directly comparable. The Fund outperformed the U.S. dollar, which fell 4.56% relative to its major U.S. trading partners during the period. 2 The dollar rose 0.64% versus the Japanese yen and fell 6.16% versus the euro. 3 You can find the Fund's long-term performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 8. 1.

Regionally, growth was generally robust in Asia, strengthening in Europe and moderating in the U.S. In the third quarter of 2006, the U.S. economy expanded 2.9% compared with the same quarter of 2005 (year-over-year). The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) led the global interest rate tightening cycle with consecutive 25-basis-point increases starting mid-2004 (100 basis points equal one percentage point). As household consumption moderated and the housing market cooled amid inflation pressure stemming from labor costs and energy prices, the Fed paused with the federal funds target rate at 5.25% after raising short-term interest rates 150 basis points during the 12-month period. Inflation rose to its highest level since 1996, or 2.9%, in September as measured by the core Consumer Price Index (CPI). 4 The U.S. dollar weakened 4.56% versus its major trading partners and the difference in growth rates between the U.S. and its major trading partners narrowed during the period.2 Despite the dollar's depreciation, the U.S. trade balance grew to $64 billion in September. The U.S. current account deficit remained large at 6.6% of gross domestic product (GDP) at the end of third quarter 2006. 5 Regionally, the Pacific Rim, which accounted for 52% of the U.S. trade deficit in September, continued to play a prominent role in terms of global imbalances, characterized by the large U.S. current account deficit. 6 The international reserve accumulation by major oil producers and export-intensive countries such as China remained significant during the reporting period. For example, by the end of October 2006, China's international reserves were at US$1,009 billion, increasing on average more than US$18 billion per month. 7 Growth in Asia was generally robust, accompanied by increasing domestic demand in some countries. Trade surpluses in Asia (outside of China) narrowed, as oil prices and stronger domestic demand contributed to rising imports. Relative to the 2.9% year-over-year GDP growth in the U.S. in third quarter 2006, China's economy grew 10.4%, Singapore's 7.2% and South Korea's 4.6%. 8 Although Asia's interest rates tightened during the year, the most notable shift in monetary policy was in Japan. During the period, the country ended its policy of quantitative easing and a zero percent interest rate, adopted in 2001 to 4. Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Stronger domestic demand, driven by investment, and prospects for sustainable positive inflation led the Bank of Japan to increase interest rates 25 basis points in July 2006. Driven by exports and investment, Europe's growth rates during the 12-month period notably improved and were generally above trend. Euro-zone growth reached 2.7% in second quarter 2006 year-over-year. 9 The European Central Bank (ECB) began increasing interest rates in December 2005 and tightened a cumulative 125 basis points through the reporting period. Although unemployment rates remained high in some of the larger economies such as Germany and France, they exhibited gradual improvement over the year. Similar trends, sometimes amplified, could be found throughout non-euro European countries such as Poland, Sweden and Norway. For example, Poland and Sweden's economic growth rose 5.5% and 5.3% in second quarter 2006 year-over-year, while Norway's increased 3.8%. 10 Although these three countries experienced a low inflation/strong growth environment, tighter labor markets and rising resource utilization indicated building pressure on resources. In total, Sweden's central bank increased interest rates 125 basis points, Norway's raised rates 100 basis points, while Poland's reduced rates 50 basis points during the 12-month period. INVESTMENT STRATEGY In making investments in foreign hard currencies, we focus on countries and markets that historically have experienced low inflation rates and, in our opinion, follow economic policies favorable to continued low inflation rates and currency appreciation against the U.S. dollar over the long term. MANAGER'S DISCUSSION During the fiscal year under review, the Fund continued to act as a hedge against U.S. dollar depreciation. The U.S. balance of payment position deteriorated further, led by a larger current account deficit and continued reliance on debt financing, particularly from the government sector. Indicative of the magnitude of the global macroeconomic imbalances, the U.S. dollar fell 4.56% relative to its major trading partners during the 12-month reporting period, despite higher short-term interest rates in the U.S. compared to other large economies. 2 As a result, further U.S. dollar weakness may be necessary to facilitate an adjustment in the U.S. current account position during the medium term.

Annual Report | 5 ASIA Given the extent of trade and capital flow imbalances between the U.S. and Asia, we continued to hold an overweighted exposure to Asia compared to other regions. During the period, as the Japanese yen weakened against the U.S. dollar, we reinitiated a position in the yen, due to our assessment of improving fundamentals and attractive valuation. At period-end, the yen represented the Fund's largest currency exposure. According to our analysis, the shift in the central bank's monetary policy strategy reflected sufficient economic momentum to foster a re-inflationary environment after years of deflation. Correspondingly, the economic recovery deepened, led by more dynamic growth in domestic consumer expenditures and private investment spending. The Fund's basket of non-Japan Asian currencies generated strong positive returns and outperformed the yen, which was a key underweighted position until late in the reporting period. Versus the dollar, the Thai baht rose 11.10%, the Indonesian rupiah was up 11.00%, the South Korean won appreciated 10.40%, and the Singapore dollar rose 8.89%, while the yen depreciated 0.64% during the Fund's fiscal year. 3 AMERICAS Among the Americas, the Fund maintained significant exposure to the Canadian dollar during the reporting period. Currency exposure to the Canadian dollar was a contributor to Fund performance as the Canadian dollar appreciated 5.27% against the U.S. dollar. 3 The Canadian dollar benefited from Canada's net exportation of commodities, particularly oil and natural gas, as oil prices reached peak levels during the year. Canada's balance of payment position strengthened largely because of an improved trade surplus and foreign investment inflows into the country's energy sector. Equally important, however, was the indirect impact of commodity demand on the labor market, where the unemployment rate dropped to a three-decade low of 6.1% during the period. 11 EUROPE In Europe, we continued to trim the Fund's exposure to the euro in favor of Asian and other European (non-euro) currencies. These economies had higher relative growth rates with low inflation supported by stronger employment growth, continued export strength, and high relative productivity growth. The Fund benefited from exposure to the Polish zloty and Swedish krona, which rose 9.11% and 10.28% against the U.S. dollar. 3 On the other hand, the Norwegian krone depreciated 0.62% and detracted from Fund performance. 3 Overall, the Fund reduced exposure to Europe during the period, primarily through reduced allocation to the euro. However, the euro's 6.56% rise versus the dollar also detracted from Fund performance. 3 11.

ALTHOUGH HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS, THESE INSIGHTS MAY HELP YOU UNDERSTAND OUR INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note that although the Fund's Statement of Investments on page 15 of this report indicates the Fund held 57.9% of its total investments in U.S. dollar-denominated assets as of 10/31/06, its net exposure to the U.S. dollar as of that date was only -2.0%. The difference is explained by the Fund's holdings of forward currency exchange contracts (please see Note 7 in the Notes to Financial Statements on page 19 of this report) calling for the purchase of various foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars at various future dates. The combination of U.S. dollar-denominated instruments with "long" forward currency exchange contracts creates a position economically equivalent to a money market instrument denominated in the foreign currency itself. Such combined positions are an appropriate strategy when the money market for a particular foreign currency is small or relatively illiquid. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Report | 7 Performance Summary as of 10/31/06 Your dividend income will vary depending on dividends or interest paid by securities in the Fund's portfolio, adjusted for operating expenses of each class.

------------------------------------------- Annual Report | 9 Performance Summary (CONTINUED) ENDNOTES SPECIAL RISKS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH FOREIGN INVESTING, INCLUDING ECONOMIC INSTABILITY AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS. THE FUND'S ASSETS ARE LARGELY INVESTED IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES, AND THEREFORE INVOLVE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT GAIN OR LOSS FROM CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS. THE FUND DOES NOT SEEK TO MAINTAIN A STABLE NET ASSET VALUE AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A SUBSTITUTE FOR A U.S. DOLLAR MONEY MARKET FUND. THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS ALSO INCLUDES A DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN INVESTMENT RISKS. CLASS A: Prior to 8/3/98, these shares were offered at a higher initial sales charge; thus actual total returns would have been lower. 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. These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated. 4. In accordance with SEC rules, we provide standardized average annual total return information through the latest calendar quarter. 5. Distribution rate is based on the sum of the respective class's last four quarterly dividends and the maximum offering price (NAV for Advisor Class) per share on 10/31/06. 6. Yield, calculated as required by the SEC, is based on the earnings of the Fund's portfolio for the 30 days ended 10/31/06. 7. Effective 1/2/97, 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 1/2/97, 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 1/1/97, actual Advisor Class performance is used reflecting all charges and fees applicable to that class. Since 1/2/97 (commencement of sales), the cumulative and average annual total returns of Advisor Class shares were +31.22% and +2.80%. 8. Source: J.P. Morgan. The J.P.

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. Annual Report | 11 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 OR REDEMPTION FEES. 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 CLASS A VALUE 5/1/06 VALUE 10/31/06 PERIOD* 5/1/06-10/31/06 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actual $1,000 $1,005.10 $5.86 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) $1,000 $1,019.36 $5.90 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ADVISOR CLASS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actual $1,000 $1,006.60 $4.15 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) $1,000 $1,021.07 $4.18 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class (A: 1.16% and Advisor: 0.82%), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period. 12 | Annual Report Franklin Templeton Global Trust FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FRANKLIN TEMPLETON HARD CURRENCY FUND ------------------------------------------------------------ YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, CLASS A 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------ PER SHARE OPERATING PERFORMANCE (for a share outstanding throughout the year) Net asset value, beginning of year ................................. $ 9.34 $ 9.85 $ 9.59 $ 8.56 $ 8.08 ------------------------------------------------------------ Income from investment operations a: Net investment income b ........................................... 0.24 0.15 0.09 0.11 0.09 Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) ........................ 0.47 (0.12) 0.78 1.46 0.63 ------------------------------------------------------------ Total from investment operations ................................... 0.71 0.03 0.87 1.57 0.72 ------------------------------------------------------------ Less distributions from: Net investment income and net realized foreign currency gains .....

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Franklin Templeton Global Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) as a non-diversified, open-end investment company, consisting of one fund, the Franklin Templeton Hard Currency Fund (the Fund). The Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A 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 Securities listed on a securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Over-the-counter securities and listed securities for which there is no reported sale are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market. Government 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 may 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, option adjusted spread models, prepayment projections, interest rate spreads and yield curves, to determine current value. Foreign securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded, or the NYSE, whichever is earlier. If no sale is reported at that time, the foreign security will be valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the day that the value of the foreign security is determined. 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 Annual Report | 19 Franklin Templeton Global Trust NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FRANKLIN TEMPLETON HARD CURRENCY FUND 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) A. SECURITY VALUATION (CONTINUED) Fund. The investment manager monitors price movements following the close of trading in foreign stock markets through a series of country specific market proxies (such as baskets of American Depository Receipts, futures contracts and exchange traded funds). These price movements are measured against established trigger thresholds for each specific market proxy to assist in determining if an event has occurred. 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 Trust's Board of Trustees. B. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Occasionally, events may impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. The Fund does not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments on the Statement of Operations. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period. C. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS When the Fund purchases or sells foreign securities it may enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of the transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at an agreed upon exchange rate at a future date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. 20 | Annual Report Franklin Templeton Global Trust NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FRANKLIN TEMPLETON HARD CURRENCY FUND 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS (CONTINUED) The Fund may also enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to certain foreign currencies. These contracts are valued daily by the Fund and the unrealized gains or losses on the contracts, as measured by the difference between the contractual forward foreign exchange rates and the forward rates at the reporting date, are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The risks of these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the possible inability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts, which may be in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. D. INCOME TAXES No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains. E. 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. 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. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share distributions by class. Annual Report | 21 Franklin Templeton Global Trust NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FRANKLIN TEMPLETON HARD CURRENCY FUND 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 will be imposed, with some exceptions, on any Fund shares that are redeemed or exchanged within seven calendar days following their purchase date. The redemption fee is 2% of the amount redeemed. Such fees are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. 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 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 October 31, 2006, there were an unlimited number of shares authorized ($0.01 par value).

CONCENTRATION OF RISK Investing in foreign securities may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as fluctuating currency values and changing local and regional economic, political and social conditions, which may result in greater market volatility. In addition, certain foreign securities may not be as liquid as U.S. securities. Annual Report | 27 Franklin Templeton Global Trust NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FRANKLIN TEMPLETON HARD CURRENCY FUND 9. REGULATORY MATTERS As part of various investigations by a number of federal, state, and foreign regulators and governmental entities, relating to certain practices in the mutual fund industry, including late trading, market timing and marketing support payments to securities dealers who sell fund shares, Franklin Resources, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), entered into settlements with certain of those regulators. Specifically, the Company entered into settlements with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") concerning market timing (the "August 2, 2004 SEC Order") and marketing support payments to securities dealers who sell fund shares (the "December 13, 2004 SEC Order") and with the California Attorney General's Office ("CAGO") concerning marketing support payments to securities dealers who sell fund shares (the "CAGO Settlement"). Under the terms of the settlements with the SEC and the CAGO, the Company retained an Independent Distribution Consultant ("IDC") to develop separate plans for the distribution of the respective settlement monies. The CAGO approved the distribution plan pertaining to the distribution of the monies owed under the CAGO settlement agreement, and in March 2005, the disbursement of monies to the relevant funds in accordance with the terms and conditions of that settlement was completed. The Fund did not participate in the CAGO Settlement. On June 23, 2006, the SEC approved the IDC's proposed plan of distribution arising from the December 13, 2004 SEC Order and disbursement of the settlement monies to the designated funds in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SEC's order and the plan was completed in September 2006. The Fund did not participate in the December 13, 2004 SEC Order. The IDC has also completed a proposed Plan of Distribution under the August 2, 2004 SEC Order resolving the SEC's market timing investigation and has submitted that plan to the SEC staff, where it is under review. The SEC has announced the following expected schedule with respect to the market timing Plan of Distribution. The SEC anticipates that Notice of the Plan will be published on or after November 15, 2006. After publication and comment, the proposed Distribution Plan will be submitted to the SEC for approval. When the SEC approves the proposed Distribution Plan, with modifications as appropriate, distributions will begin pursuant to that Plan. In addition, the Company, as well as most of the mutual funds within Franklin Templeton Investments and certain current or former officers, directors, and/or employees, have been named in private lawsuits (styled as shareholder class actions, or as derivative actions on behalf of either the named funds or Franklin Resources, Inc.) relating to the industry practices referenced above, as well as to allegedly excessive advisory fees, commissions, and/or 12b-1 fees. The lawsuits were filed in different courts throughout the country. Many of those suits are now pending in a multi-district litigation in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 28 | Annual Report Franklin Templeton Global Trust NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FRANKLIN TEMPLETON HARD CURRENCY FUND 9. REGULATORY MATTERS (CONTINUED) The Company and fund management strongly believe that the claims made in each of the private lawsuits referenced above are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously. The Company cannot predict with certainty the eventual outcome of these lawsuits, nor whether they will have a material negative impact on the Company. If it is determined that the Company bears responsibility for any unlawful or inappropriate conduct that caused losses to the Fund, it is committed to making the Fund or its shareholders whole, as appropriate. 10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying the various provisions of FIN 48. In September 2006, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Fund believes the adoption of SFAS 157 will have no material impact on its financial statements. Annual Report | 29 Franklin Templeton Global Trust REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FRANKLIN TEMPLETON HARD CURRENCY 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 Templeton Hard Currency Fund (the "Fund") at October 31, 2006, 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 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 October 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
