                              GAIN FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE(R)

                              Franklin Templeton's distinct multi-manager
                              structure combines the specialized expertise of
                              three world-class investment management groups--
                              Franklin, Templeton and Mutual Series.

SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE         Each of our portfolio management groups operates
                              autonomously, relying on its own research and
                              staying true to the unique investment disciplines
                              that underlie its success.

                              FRANKLIN. Founded in 1947, Franklin is a
                              recognized leader in fixed income investing and
                              also brings expertise in growth- and value-style
                              U.S. equity investing.

                              TEMPLETON. Founded in 1940, Templeton pioneered
                              international investing and, in 1954, launched
                              what has become the industry's oldest global fund.
                              Today, with offices in over 25 countries,
                              Templeton offers investors a truly global
                              perspective.

                              MUTUAL SERIES. Founded in 1949, Mutual Series is
                              dedicated to a unique style of value investing,
                              searching aggressively for opportunity among what
                              it believes are undervalued stocks, as well as
                              arbitrage situations and distressed securities.

TRUE DIVERSIFICATION          Because our management groups work independently
                              and adhere to different investment approaches,
                              Franklin, Templeton and Mutual Series funds
                              typically have distinct portfolios. That's why our
                              funds can be used to build truly diversified
                              allocation plans covering every major asset class.

RELIABILITY YOU CAN TRUST     At Franklin Templeton Investments, we seek to
                              consistently provide investors with exceptional
                              risk-adjusted returns over the long term, as well
                              as the reliable, accurate and personal service
                              that has helped us become one of the most trusted
                              names in financial services.

We are pleased to bring you Templeton Foreign Smaller Companies Fund's
semiannual report for the period ended April 30, 2007.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

For the six months under review, Templeton Foreign Smaller Companies Fund -
Class A posted a +20.32% cumulative total return. The Fund outperformed its
benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia,
Far East (EAFE) Index, which posted a +15.68% total return for the same period.
1 The Fund performed comparably to the S&P/Citigroup Global Equity ex-U.S. less
than $2 Billion Index, another relevant measure of Fund performance, which had a
+19.43% cumulative total return for the reporting period. 2 Please note that
index performance information is provided for reference and that we do not
attempt to track an index but rather undertake investments on the basis of
fundamental research. You can find the Fund's long-term performance data in the
Performance Summary beginning on page 8.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW

In spite of elevated energy prices, higher global interest rates, a weaker U.S.
housing market and restrained U.S. economic growth, the global economy remained
resilient throughout the six-month reporting period. Strong consumer

and corporate demand, reasonably low inflation, tight or improving labor
markets, and moderate, though higher, global interest rates have consistently
supported economic growth since the economic recovery began in 2002.

Overall, the mood in the global equity markets was predominantly positive, but
was interrupted in the first quarter of 2007 due to concerns of slower growth.
Investors worldwide also pondered the possibility that troubles in the U.S.
subprime mortgage market could spread into the broader economy and potentially
undermine the pace of global economic and corporate profit growth. However,
strong global liquidity and corporate share buybacks continued to support equity
prices.

During the reporting period, petrodollars, corporate cash, private equity,
household savings and central banks' reserves continued to look for an
investment home. Largely as a result, bond yield spreads over U.S. Treasuries
narrowed, and equity and commodity markets rose. Narrower corporate credit
spreads globally reflected greater risk tolerance, while abundant cash supplies
in the capital markets contributed to record global merger and acquisition (M&A)
activity.

The total value of deals announced during 2006 as a result of hostile takeovers,
private equity buyouts and broad corporate consolidation was $3.8 trillion. 3
Announced deals from private equity alone reached a record $700 billion, almost
double the record set in 2005. 4 The trend continued in the first quarter of
2007, with $1.1 trillion spent on M&A activity, 27% higher than in the same
period in 2006. 5

With this backdrop, most global equity markets -- including emerging markets
that remained a major magnet for global fund flows -- ended the six-month period
with double-digit total returns. Stock market indexes in the U.S. and most
European countries reached six-year highs, and many emerging market indexes in
Asia, Europe and Latin America neared or reached all-time highs during the
reported period.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

We take a long-term, value-oriented approach to investing. We focus our analysis
primarily at the company level; we seek to identify when a company's value on
the stock exchange is substantially below our estimate of the company's
underlying worth -- also known as its "intrinsic value." Our analysts determine

the intrinsic value of a company first by understanding the company and the
industry in which it operates, and then by forecasting future earnings and cash
flow growth potential. We look to invest in those companies selling at the
lowest level relative to our expectations for future earnings and cash flow. We
are patient investors; our typical holding period is four to five years.

MANAGER'S DISCUSSION

Several holdings performed well during the six months under review. U.K.-based
GAME Group, Europe's largest retailer of computer software, video games,
consoles and related products, was among the most significant contributors to
Fund performance. Of the company's revenue, 73% is derived from the U.K. and
Ireland, where GAME Group has more than 400 store locations. It has a dominant
position in the U.K. market with a commanding 25% market share, and its presence
is growing in France, Spain, Portugal and Scandinavia. Shares of GAME Group
soared during the period, as concerns over transition to a new generation of
video game consoles faded after successful launches of the Microsoft Xbox 360
and the Nintendo Wii. Consistent with our strategy, we believe that GAME Group
is fundamentally strong with a solid balance sheet and an attractive 1.56%
dividend yield at period-end, and we believe its shares offer compelling value
to long-term investors who are willing to look past potential near-term industry
weakness.

The Fund also benefited from Denmark-based Vestas Wind Systems, the world's
leading wind turbine manufacturer. One of the factors that differentiates Vestas
from its competitors is its global reach. Gamesa (Spain) and General Electric
(U.S.) have dominant market share in their home countries but only about 18% and
11% global market share, respectively. In comparison, Vestas has an 80% market
share at home, a 35% market share in Scandinavia and a 28% global market share.
In our assessment, the company's success stems from its ability to develop
durable, reliable and cost effective wind turbines. Wind power is the cheapest
source of renewable energy, when costs of environmental degradation from
traditional power sources are factored in. Vestas benefited from increased
demand and a market shift as three key regions, Europe, the Americas and Asia,
began to focus on renewable energy and environmentally friendly power sources.

Another contributor to Fund performance for the period was Taiwan-based D-Link,
a global data networking vendor with focuses on home, small office and home
office (SOHO), and small and medium business (SMB) markets. The company sells
branded wireless local area network (WLAN) products, broadband access equipment,
LAN switches and other networking equipment. D-Link is the global leader in the
home, SOHO and WLAN equipment market. An important driver for growth in home and
SOHO networking is the

expected double-digit jump in worldwide broadband connections through 2009,
according to our analysis. Moreover, we think D-Link is in a relatively strong
competitive position in emerging markets, where growth should outpace that of
the overall global market. Given our assessment of D-Link's growth prospects, we
considered its valuation compelling at period-end.

It is important to recognize the effect of currency movements on the Fund's
performance. In general, if the value of the U.S. dollar goes up compared with a
foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency will go down in
value because it will be worth fewer U.S. dollars. This can have a negative
effect on Fund performance. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar weakens in relation
to a foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency will
increase in value, which can contribute to Fund performance. For the six months
ended April 30, 2007, the U.S. dollar declined in value relative to most
non-U.S. currencies. As a result, the Fund's performance was positively affected
by the portfolio's predominant investment in securities with non-U.S. currency
exposure. However, one cannot expect the same result in future periods.

The Fund also had some underperforming holdings in the six months under review.
Singapore-based Osim International, a dominant player in Asia's healthy
lifestyle product segment, has franchise outlets in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan,
Singapore and Malaysia. Osim's sales are driven by its flagship massage chair
product line, and it has a number of newer products that are gaining traction in
the marketplace. The company's purchase of Brookstone in 2005 widened its global
reach and gave Osim direct access to a retail network of more than 300 stores.
In our analysis, recent stock weakness appeared relatively isolated to a single
product as the company received bad publicity from imitation products spreading
to markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan. We continued to hold the stock at period-end
because we were confident in its long-term prospects.

Also hindering Fund performance during the period was ATS Automation Tooling
Systems. Based in Canada, ATS makes automated production and testing systems for
manufacturers in the automotive, electronics and health care industries.
Products include the Superbot, a materials-handling robot, and thin-film
flexible cells for solar energy panels. Although the company's high fixed costs
weighed on the bottom line, we think profitability could improve if orders pick
up. In our analysis, valuation support looked strong as shares traded near book
value at period-end.

Another detractor was Elcoteq, the largest European electronic manufacturing
services company. Based in Finland, Elcoteq focuses solely on the
telecommunications sector, with about 82% of sales from wireless handsets and
18% of sales from telecom infrastructure. The stock stumbled during the period
largely

because Nokia, Elcoteq's key customer, lost market share in some mid-line
products. In our view, these issues were largely temporary, as we thought
Nokia's proven long-term track record suggests it could regain market share as
it refreshes the product lineup. We thought Elcoteq's current profitability woes
should also be temporary. In our analysis, we considered the stock attractive at
period-end based on its more than 3% dividend yield.

Thank you for your continued participation in Templeton Foreign Smaller
Companies Fund. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

Performance Summary as of 4/30/07

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. Capital gain distributions are net profits realized from the sale of
portfolio securities. The performance table does not reflect any taxes that a
shareholder would pay on Fund dividends, capital gain distributions, if any, or
any realized gains on the sale of Fund shares. Total return reflects
reinvestment of the Fund's dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and
any unrealized gains or losses.

Performance Summary (CONTINUED)

ENDNOTES

SPECIAL RISKS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH FOREIGN INVESTING, INCLUDING CURRENCY
FLUCTUATIONS, ECONOMIC INSTABILITY, AND REGULATORY AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS.
INVESTMENTS IN EMERGING MARKETS INVOLVE HEIGHTENED RISKS RELATED TO THE SAME
FACTORS, IN ADDITION TO THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR RELATIVELY SMALL SIZE AND
LESSER LIQUIDITY. IN ADDITION, SMALLER-COMPANY STOCKS HAVE HISTORICALLY
EXHIBITED GREATER PRICE VOLATILITY THAN LARGER-COMPANY STOCKS, PARTICULARLY OVER
THE SHORT TERM. THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS ALSO INCLUDES A DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN
INVESTMENT RISKS.

CLASS A:          Prior to 1/1/97, these shares were offered at a lower initial
                  sales charge; thus actual total returns may differ.

CLASS B:          These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A
                  shares.

CLASS C:          Prior to 1/1/04, these shares were offered with an initial
                  sales charge; thus actual total returns would have differed.
                  These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A
                  shares.

ADVISOR CLASS:    Shares are available to certain eligible investors as
                  described in the prospectus.

1.    Cumulative total return represents the change in value of an investment
      over the periods indicated.

2.    Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value
      of an investment over the periods indicated. Six-month return has not been
      annualized.

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.    Figures are as stated in the Fund's prospectus current as of the date of
      this report.


10 | Semiannual Report


Your Fund's Expenses

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

o     Transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on Fund purchases and
      redemption fees; and

o     Ongoing Fund costs, including management fees, distribution and service
      (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing
      costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses.

The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help
you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds.
The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.

ACTUAL FUND EXPENSES

The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual
account values and expenses. The "Ending Account Value" is derived from the
Fund's actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses.

You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period, by following these
steps. OF COURSE, YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND EXPENSES WILL DIFFER FROM THOSE IN THIS
ILLUSTRATION:

1.    Divide your account value by $1,000.

      IF AN ACCOUNT HAD AN $8,600 VALUE, THEN $8,600 / $1,000 = 8.6.

2.    Multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During
      Period."

      IF EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD WERE $7.50, THEN 8.6 X $7.50 = $64.50.

In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH OTHER FUNDS

Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can
help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other
mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending
account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical "Ending
Account Value" is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an
assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the
Fund's actual return. The figure under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period"
shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this
scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that
appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Your Fund's Expenses (CONTINUED)

PLEASE NOTE THAT EXPENSES SHOWN IN THE TABLE ARE MEANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONGOING
COSTS AND DO NOT REFLECT ANY TRANSACTION COSTS, SUCH AS SALES CHARGES 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.

      account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the
      one-half year period.

Franklin Templeton International Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

TEMPLETON FOREIGN SMALLER COMPANIES FUND

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Franklin Templeton International Trust (the Trust) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the 1940 Act) as an open-end
investment company, consisting of two separate funds. The Templeton Foreign
Smaller Companies Fund (the Fund) included in this report is diversified. The
financial statements of the remaining fund in the Trust are presented
separately. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C,
and Advisor Class. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load,
contingent deferred sales charges, distribution fees, voting rights on matters
affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

The following summarizes the Fund's significant accounting policies.

A. SECURITY VALUATION

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,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

TEMPLETON FOREIGN SMALLER COMPANIES FUND

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

A. SECURITY VALUATION (CONTINUED)

the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been
used had a ready market for such investments existed. Occasionally, events occur
between the time at which trading in a security is completed and the close of
the NYSE that might call into question the availability (including the
reliability) of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. 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 Fund'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 Fund'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 on a specified date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these
contracts are included in the Statement of Operations.

C. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS (CONTINUED)

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 AND DEFERRED TAXES

No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because it is the Fund's policy
to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and
to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net
realized gains.

Foreign securities held by the Fund may be subject to foreign taxation on
dividend and interest income received. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based
on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the
Fund invests.

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. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign
securities are recognized as soon as the Fund is notified of the ex-dividend
date. 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 per share
distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific
expenses.

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.

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

value). Transactions in the Fund's shares were as follows:

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding short term securities) for the
period ended April 30, 2007, aggregated $91,845,441 and $44,931,769,
respectively.

7. 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.

8. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS

As part of various investigations by a number of federal, state, and foreign
regulators and governmental entities, including the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), 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 ("marketing support"), Franklin
Resources, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"),
entered into settlements with certain of those regulators and governmental
entities. Specifically, the Company entered into settlements with the SEC, among
others, concerning market timing and marketing support.

On June 6, 2007, the SEC posted for public comment the proposed plan of
distribution for the market timing settlement. Following the public comment
period, and once the SEC approves the final plan of distribution, disbursements
of settlement monies will be made promptly to individuals who were shareholders
of the designated funds during the relevant period, in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the settlement and plan.

In addition, the Company, as well as most of the mutual funds within Franklin
Templeton Investments and certain current or former officers, Company directors,
fund directors, and 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.). The lawsuits relate to the industry
practices referenced above, as well as to allegedly excessive commissions and
advisory and distribution fees.

The Company and fund management 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.

9. 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. On December 22, 2006, the Securities and Exchange
Commission extended the implementation date to no later than the last net asset
value calculation in the first semiannual reporting period in 2007. 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 Trust believes the adoption of SFAS 157
will have no material impact on its financial statements.

TEMPLETON FOREIGN SMALLER COMPANIES FUND

BOARD REVIEW OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

At a meeting held April 17, 2007, the Board of Trustees ("Board"), including a
majority of non-interested or independent Trustees, approved renewal of the
investment management agreement for Templeton Foreign Smaller Companies Fund,
one of the two separate 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, as well as periodic reports on
shareholder services, legal, compliance, pricing, brokerage commissions and
execution and other services provided by the Investment Manager ("Manager") and
its affiliates. Information furnished specifically in connection with the
renewal process included a report for each Fund prepared by Lipper, Inc.
("Lipper"), an independent organization, as well as a Fund profitability
analysis report prepared by management. The Lipper reports compared each Fund's
investment performance and expenses with those of other mutual funds deemed
comparable to the Fund as selected by Lipper. The Fund profitability analysis
report discussed the profitability to Franklin Templeton Investments from its
overall U.S. fund operations, as well as on an individual fund-by-fund basis.
Included with such profitability analysis report was information on a
fund-by-fund basis listing portfolio managers and other accounts they manage, as
well as information on management fees charged by the Manager and its affiliates
including management's explanation of differences where relevant and a
three-year expense analysis with an explanation for any increase in expense
ratios. Additional material accompanying such report was a memorandum prepared
by management describing project initiatives and capital investments relating to
the services provided to the Funds by the Franklin Templeton Investments
organization, as well as a memorandum relating to economies of scale and a
comparative analysis concerning transfer agent fees charged each Fund.

In considering such materials, the independent Trustees received assistance and
advice from and met separately with independent counsel. While the investment
management agreements for both 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 each 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 SERVICE. The Board was satisfied with the nature
and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and its affiliates
to the Fund and its shareholders. In addition to investment performance and
expenses discussed later, the Board's opinion was based, in part, upon periodic
reports furnished them showing that the investment

BOARD REVIEW OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)

policies and restrictions for the Fund were consistently complied with as well
as other reports periodically furnished the Board covering matters such as the
compliance of portfolio managers and other management personnel with the code of
ethics adopted throughout the Franklin Templeton fund complex, the adherence to
fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, and the accuracy of net
asset value calculations. The Board also noted the extent of benefits provided
Fund shareholders from being part of the Franklin Templeton family of funds,
including the right to exchange investments between the same class of funds
without a sales charge, the ability to reinvest Fund dividends into other funds
and the right to combine holdings in other funds to obtain a reduced sales
charge. Favorable consideration was given to management's continuous efforts and
expenditures in establishing back-up systems and recovery procedures to function
in the event of a natural disaster, it being noted that such systems and
procedures had functioned smoothly during the Florida hurricanes and blackouts
experienced in recent years. Among other factors taken into account by the Board
were the Manager's best execution trading policies, including a favorable report
by an independent portfolio trading analytical firm. Consideration was also
given to the experience of the Fund's portfolio management team, the number of
accounts managed and general method of compensation. In this latter respect, the
Board noted that a primary factor in management's determination of a portfolio
manager's bonus compensation was the relative investment performance of the
funds he or she managed and that a portion of such bonus was required to be
invested in a pre-designated list of funds within such person's fund management
area so as to be aligned with the interests of Fund shareholders. The Board also
took into account the quality of transfer agent and shareholder services
provided Fund shareholders by an affiliate of the Manager, noting continuing
expenditures by management to increase and improve the scope of such services,
periodic favorable reports on such service conducted by third parties, the high
industry ranking given to the Franklin Templeton website, and the firsthand
experience of individual Board members who deal with the shareholder services
department in their capacities as shareholders in one or more of the various
Franklin Templeton funds.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment
performance of the Fund in view of its importance to shareholders. While
consideration was given to performance reports and discussions with portfolio
managers at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention in
assessing performance was given to the Lipper reports furnished for the
agreement renewals. The Lipper reports prepared for the Fund showed the
investment performance of its Class A shares in comparison to a performance
universe selected by Lipper. The following summarizes the performance results
for the Fund and the Board's view of such performance.

The performance universe for Templeton Foreign Smaller Companies Fund consisted
of the Fund and all retail and institutional international small/midcap core
funds as selected by Lipper. Comparative performance within such universe was
shown for the one-year period ended January 31, 2007, and the previous ten years
ended that date. The Lipper report showed the

BOARD REVIEW OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)

Fund's total return for the one-year period to be in the second-lowest quintile
of such performance universe, and on an annualized basis to be in the lowest
quintile for each of the previous three-, five- and ten-year periods. In
discussing such performance, management pointed out the long-term, value
oriented philosophy followed by the Fund and the Board noted that recent changes
had been made in the Fund's portfolio management team. The Board also noted,
while in the lower quintiles, that the Fund's one-year total return as shown in
the Lipper report was approximately 19%, and on an annualized basis exceeded 17%
and 18%, respectively, for the previous three- and five-year periods, and was at
9.83% for the previous ten-year period. The Board found such investment
performance to be acceptable, noting its discussions with management and the
Fund's actual levels of return.

COMPARATIVE EXPENSES. Consideration was given to the management fee and total
expense ratios of the Fund compared with those of a group of other funds
selected by Lipper as its appropriate Lipper expense group. Prior to making such
comparison, the Board relied upon a survey showing that the scope of management
advisory services covered under the Fund's investment management agreement was
similar to those provided by fund managers to other mutual fund groups. In
reviewing comparative costs, emphasis was given to the Fund's contractual
investment management fee in comparison with the investment management fee that
would have been charged by other funds within its Lipper expense group assuming
they were similar in size to the Fund, as well as the actual total expenses of
the Fund in comparison with those of its Lipper expense group. The Lipper
contractual investment management fee analysis includes administrative charges
as being part of the investment management fee, and actual total expenses, for
comparative consistency, are shown by Lipper for fund Class A shares. The
results of such comparisons showed the contractual investment management fee
rate and total expenses of Templeton Foreign Smaller Companies Fund each to be
in the second-least expensive quintile of its expense group. The Board was
satisfied with the investment management fees and total expenses of the Fund in
comparison to its Lipper expense group as shown in the Lipper reports.

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. Specific attention was given to the methodology
followed in allocating costs to each Fund, it being recognized that allocation
methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may
each be reasonable while producing different results. In this respect, the Board
noted that, while being continuously refined and reflecting changes in the
Manager's own cost accounting, the allocation methodology was consistent with
that followed in profitability report presentations for the Fund made in prior
years and that the

TEMPLETON FOREIGN SMALLER COMPANIES FUND

BOARD REVIEW OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)

Fund's independent registered public accounting firm had been engaged by the
Manager to perform certain procedures on a biennial basis, specified and
approved by the Manager and the Fund's Board solely for their purposes and use
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 the Fund in determining its profitability, as well as the
fact that the level of profits, to a certain extent, reflected operational cost
savings and efficiencies initiated by management. The Board also took into
account management's expenditures in improving shareholder services provided the
Fund, as well as the need to meet additional regulatory and compliance
requirements resulting from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and recent SEC requirements.
In addition, the Board considered a third-party study comparing the
profitability of the Manager's parent on an overall basis as compared 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 its interest in a joint venture entity that financed
up-front commissions paid to brokers/dealers who sold fund Class B shares prior
to February 2005, when the offering of such shares was discontinued, as well as
potential benefits resulting from allocation of fund brokerage and the use of
"soft" commission dollars to pay for research. Based upon its consideration of
all these factors, the Board determined that the level of profits realized by
the Manager and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund was not
excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent of services provided.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Board also considered whether economies of scale are
realized by the Manager as the Fund grows larger and the extent to which this is
reflected in the level of management fees charged. While recognizing that any
precise determination is inherently subjective, the Board noted that based upon
the Fund profitability analysis, it appears that as some funds get larger, at
some point economies of scale do result in the Manager realizing a larger profit
margin on management services provided such a fund. The Board noted in funds
such as Templeton Foreign Smaller Companies Fund that economies of scale were
shared with the Fund and its shareholders through management fee breakpoints so
that as a fund grows in size, its effective management fee rate declines. The
fee schedule under the investment management agreement for Templeton Foreign
Smaller Companies Fund provides an initial fee of 1% on the first $100 million
of net assets; 0.90% on the next $150 million; 0.80% on the next $250 million;
and 0.75% on net assets in excess of $500 million. This Fund's assets were
approximately $464 million at December 31, 2006. In discussing the prospect of
adding additional breakpoints, management expressed its view that the existing
fee schedule was low and reflected anticipated economies of scale and pointed
out the favorable effective management fee comparison of this Fund within its
Lipper expense group. While intending to monitor future growth 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 provides for a sharing of benefits with this Fund and its
shareholders.

                            GAIN FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE(R)

                            Franklin Templeton's distinct multi-manager
                            structure combines the specialized expertise of
                            three world-class investment management
                            groups--Franklin, Templeton and Mutual Series.

SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE       Each of our portfolio management groups operates
                            autonomously, relying on its own research and
                            staying true to the unique investment disciplines
                            that underlie its success.

                            FRANKLIN. Founded in 1947, Franklin is a recognized
                            leader in fixed income investing and also brings
                            expertise in growth- and value-style U.S. equity
                            investing.

                            TEMPLETON. Founded in 1940, Templeton pioneered
                            international investing and, in 1954, launched what
                            has become the industry's oldest global fund. Today,
                            with offices in over 25 countries, Templeton offers
                            investors a truly global perspective.

                            MUTUAL SERIES. Founded in 1949, Mutual Series is
                            dedicated to a unique style of value investing,
                            searching aggressively for opportunity among what it
                            believes are undervalued stocks, as well as
                            arbitrage situations and distressed securities.

TRUE DIVERSIFICATION        Because our management groups work independently and
                            adhere to different investment approaches, Franklin,
                            Templeton and Mutual Series funds typically have
                            distinct portfolios. That's why our funds can be
                            used to build truly diversified allocation plans
                            covering every major asset class.

                            consistently provide investors with exceptional
                            risk-adjusted returns over the long term, as well as

This semiannual report for Templeton Global Long-Short Fund covers the period
ended April 30, 2007.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

Templeton Global Long-Short Fund - Class A posted a cumulative total return of
+8.09% for the six months under review. The Fund underperformed its benchmark,
the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index (the Index), which
posted a +12.13% total return for the same period. 1 Since inception on July 31,
2001, the Fund's Class A shares posted a cumulative total return of +43.81%
compared with +66.50% for the Index. 2 The Fund's relative volatility, as
measured by the annualized standard deviation of monthly returns, was low at
just 6.15% since inception. 3 In comparison, the Index's standard deviation
during this time was 12.77%. You can find the Fund's long-term performance data
in the Performance Summary beginning on page 9.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW

In spite of elevated energy prices, higher global interest rates, a weaker U.S.
housing market and restrained U.S. economic growth, the global economy remained
resilient throughout the six-month reporting period. Strong consumer

and corporate demand, reasonably low inflation, tight or improving labor
markets, and moderate, though higher, global interest rates have consistently
supported economic growth since the economic recovery began in 2002.

Overall, the mood in the global equity markets was predominantly positive, but
was interrupted in the first quarter of 2007 due to concerns of slower growth.
Investors worldwide also pondered the possibility that troubles in the U.S.
subprime mortgage market could spread into the broader economy and potentially
undermine the pace of global economic and corporate profit growth. However,
strong global liquidity and corporate share buybacks continued to support equity
prices.

During the reporting period, petrodollars, corporate cash, private equity,
household savings and central banks' reserves continued to look for an
investment home. Largely as a result, bond yield spreads over U.S. Treasuries
narrowed, and equity and commodity markets rose. Narrower corporate credit
spreads globally reflected greater risk tolerance, while abundant cash supplies
in the capital markets contributed to record global merger and acquisition (M&A)
activity.

The total value of deals announced during 2006 as a result of hostile takeovers,
private equity buyouts and broad corporate consolidation was $3.8 trillion. 4
Announced deals from private equity alone reached a record $700 billion, almost
double the record set in 2005. 5 The trend continued in the first quarter of
2007, with $1.1 trillion spent on M&A activity, 27% higher than in the same
period in 2006. 6

With this backdrop, most global equity markets -- including emerging markets
that remained a major magnet for global fund flows -- ended the six-month period
with double-digit total returns. Stock market indexes in the U.S. and most
European countries reached six-year highs, and many emerging market indexes in
Asia, Europe and Latin America neared or reached all-time highs during the
reporting period.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Our investment philosophy is that a combination of long and short equity
positions can reduce overall volatility and has the potential to provide
positive returns in either up or down markets. We apply a bottom-up,
value-oriented,

long-term approach, focusing on the market price of a company's securities
relative to our evaluation of its long-term earnings, asset value and cash flow
potential. We also consider a company's price/earnings ratio, profit margins and
liquidation value. For our long positions, we seek stock from companies we
believe have strong fundamentals or valuable assets that we think are overlooked
by the market. Among our short positions, our strategy is to short the stocks of
companies we believe are overvalued by the market where we see the potential for
share price decline.

analyst upgrade of the stock and an increased price target.

Within information technology, the Fund's long position in Taiwanese
communication equipment company D-Link positively impacted performance during
the period. The company's stock received an analyst upgrade, and U.S.-based
software maker Microsoft chose to sell D-Link's telephone hardware in
conjunction with one of its new products.

In the consumer discretionary sector, a long exposure to U.K.-based consumer
services company Compass Group benefited the Fund. Compass shares rose on news
that, after winning more profitable contracts, its five-month sales to March
2007 exceeded forecasts. Additionally, the company's share price climbed after
an announcement of a share repurchase program start date.

It is also important to remember the effect of currency movements on the Fund's
performance. In general, if the value of the U.S. dollar increases compared with
a foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency will decrease
in value because it will be worth fewer U.S. dollars. This can have a negative
effect on Fund performance. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar weakens in relation
to a foreign currency, an investment traded in that foreign currency will
increase in value, which can contribute to Fund performance. For the six months
ended April 30, 2007, the U.S. dollar declined in value relative to most
non-U.S. currencies. As a result, the Fund's performance was positively affected
by the portfolio's substantial investment in securities with non-U.S. currency
exposure. However, one cannot expect the same result in future periods.

Within the industrials sector, the Fund's short exposure to Denmark-based marine
company A.P. Moller - Maersk detracted from performance. Company shares posted
their steepest climb in more than three years after the stock was upgraded.
Analysts also raised the company's share price target due to higher valuations
for its port assets, improved hire rates for its ships and an expected demand
increase for shipments between Asia and Europe.

In the consumer staples sector, a short position in U.K.-based brewer SABMiller
negatively impacted returns as its share price appreciated for several reasons.
SABMiller announced it sold 10% more beer in its past fiscal year, excluding the
effects of acquisitions, as South American and Chinese demand rose.
Additionally, shares rose in value when management announced it would continue
to expand in China, the world's largest beer market, by acquiring two breweries
in the region. News that its rival, InBev, was holding merger talks with
Anheuser Busch also led to share price appreciation during the period.

Performance Summary (CONTINUED)

ENDNOTES

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE WITH THE FUND'S
LONG-SHORT INVESTMENT STRATEGY, MARKET CONDITIONS, CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES AND
THE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL CLIMATES OF COUNTRIES WHERE THE FUND INVESTS.
INVESTMENTS IN DEVELOPING MARKETS INVOLVE HEIGHTENED RISKS RELATED TO THE SAME
FACTORS. IN ADDITION, HISTORICALLY, SMALL-CAP STOCKS HAVE PROVEN MORE VOLATILE
THAN LARGE-CAP SECURITIES, ESPECIALLY OVER THE SHORT TERM. ALTHOUGH THE FUND
INTENDS TO REDUCE RISK BY HAVING BOTH LONG AND SHORT POSITIONS, IT IS POSSIBLE
THE FUND'S LONG POSITIONS WILL DECLINE IN VALUE AT THE SAME TIME THE VALUE OF
STOCKS SOLD SHORT INCREASES, THEREBY INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS. ALSO,
THE FUND MAY NOT ALWAYS BE ABLE TO COVER A SHORT POSITION AT A PARTICULAR TIME
OR AT AN ACCEPTABLE PRICE; LOSSES FROM SHORT SALES MAY BE UNLIMITED. THE FUND'S
PROSPECTUS ALSO INCLUDES A DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN INVESTMENT RISKS.

CLASS B:       These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A
               shares.

ADVISOR CLASS: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described
               in the prospectus.

1. Past expense reductions by the Fund's manager increased the Fund's total
returns. If the manager had not taken this action, the Fund's total returns
would have been lower.

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. Six-month return has not been
annualized.

4. These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the
Fund over the periods indicated.

5. In accordance with SEC rules, we provide standardized average annual total
return information through the latest calendar quarter.

6. Figures are as stated in the Fund's prospectus current as of the date of this
report.

7. Effective 8/2/04, 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 8/2/04, 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 8/1/04, actual Advisor
Class performance is used reflecting all charges and fees applicable to that
class. Since 8/2/04 (commencement of sales), the cumulative and average annual
total returns of Advisor Class shares were +33.26% and +11.04%.

Your Fund's Expenses

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

o     Transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on Fund purchases and
      redemption fees; and

o     Ongoing Fund costs, including management fees, distribution and service
      (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing
      costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses.

The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help
you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds.
The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.

ACTUAL FUND EXPENSES

The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual
account values and expenses. The "Ending Account Value" is derived from the
Fund's actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses.

You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period, by following these
steps. OF COURSE, YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND EXPENSES WILL DIFFER FROM THOSE IN THIS
ILLUSTRATION:

1.    Divide your account value by $1,000.

      IF AN ACCOUNT HAD AN $8,600 VALUE, THEN $8,600 / $1,000 = 8.6.

2.    Multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During
      Period."

      IF EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD WERE $7.50, THEN 8.6 X $7.50 = $64.50.

In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH OTHER FUNDS

Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can
help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other
mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending
account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical "Ending
Account Value" is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an
assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the
Fund's actual return. The figure under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period"
shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this
scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that
appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Your Fund's Expenses (CONTINUED)

PLEASE NOTE THAT EXPENSES SHOWN IN THE TABLE ARE MEANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONGOING
COSTS AND DO NOT REFLECT ANY TRANSACTION COSTS, SUCH AS SALES CHARGES 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.

Franklin Templeton International Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

TEMPLETON GLOBAL LONG-SHORT FUND

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Franklin Templeton International Trust (the Trust) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the 1940 Act) as an open-end
investment company, consisting of two separate funds. The Templeton Global
Long-Short Fund (the Fund) included in this report is diversified. The financial
statements of the remaining fund in the Trust are presented separately. The Fund
offers three classes of shares: Class A, Class B, 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. Time deposits are valued at cost.

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 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.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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 on a specified date. 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. OPTIONS

The Fund may purchase or write options. Options are contracts entitling the
holder to purchase or sell a specified number of shares or units of a particular
security at a specified price. Options purchased are recorded as investments;
options written (sold) are recorded as liabilities. Upon closing of an option,
other than by exercise, which results in a cash settlement, the difference
between the premium (original option value) and the settlement proceeds is
realized as a gain or loss. When securities are acquired or delivered upon
exercise of an option, the acquisition cost or sale proceeds are adjusted by the
amount of the premium. When an option is closed, the difference between the
premium and the cost to close the position is realized as a gain or loss. When
an option expires, the premium is realized as a gain for options written or as a
loss for options purchased. The risks include the possibility there may be an
illiquid options market or the inability of the counterparties to fulfill their
obligations under the contract. Writing options involves, to varying degrees,
elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities.

E. SECURITIES SOLD SHORT

The Fund is engaged in selling securities short, which obligates the Fund to
replace a borrowed security with the same security at current market value. The
Fund incurs a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of
the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security.
The Fund realizes a gain if the price of the security declines between those
dates. Gains are limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short,
while losses are potentially unlimited in size.

The Fund is required to establish a margin account with the broker lending the
security sold short. While the short sale is outstanding, the broker retains the
proceeds of the short sale and the Fund must maintain a deposit with broker
consisting of cash and securities having a value equal to a specified percentage
of the value of the securities sold short. The Fund is obligated to pay the
counterparty any dividends or interest due on securities sold short. Such
dividends and interest are recorded as an expense to the Fund.

F. INCOME AND DEFERRED TAXES

No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because it is the Fund's policy
to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and
to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net
realized gains.

Foreign securities held by the Fund may be subject to foreign taxation on
dividend and interest income received. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based
on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the
Fund invests.

TEMPLETON GLOBAL LONG-SHORT FUND

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

F. INCOME AND DEFERRED TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Fund may be subject to a tax imposed on net realized gains on securities of
certain foreign countries. The Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability
for net unrealized gains on these securities in an amount that would be payable
if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

G. 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. Dividend income and
dividends declared on securities sold short, are recorded on the ex-dividend
date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized as
soon as the Fund is notified of the ex-dividend date. 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 per share
distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific
expenses.

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.

H. 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.

I. 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.

J. 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 April 30, 2007, there were an unlimited number of shares authorized (no par
value). Transactions in the Fund's shares were as follows:

Franklin Templeton Distributors, Inc. (Distributors)            Principal underwriter
Franklin Templeton Investor Services, LLC (Investor Services)   Transfer agent


A. MANAGEMENT FEES

The Fund pays Advisers an investment management fee comprised of a "base fee"
and a "performance adjustment". The base fee is calculated at the beginning of
each month using an annual rate of 1.50% of the prior month's average daily net
assets. The performance adjustment is calculated at the beginning of each month
based on how much the Fund's total return exceeded or lagged its benchmark, the
Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index, (the "Fund performance
differential"), over the preceding twelve-month period (the performance period).
A performance adjustment is applicable if the Fund performance differential
exceeds 2.00%, either upwards (an increase to the base fee) or downwards (a
decrease to the base fee). The performance adjustment rate is equal to 0.01% for
each additional 0.05% that the Fund performance differential exceeds 2.00%. The
performance adjustment amount is determined by multiplying the performance
adjustment rate by the average daily net assets of the performance period. The
performance adjustment rate may not exceed 1.00% annualized, either upwards or
downwards. At the end of each month, an annualized investment management fee
ratio is calculated (total investment management fees divided by fiscal year to
date average daily net assets). In accordance with the Investment Management
Agreement, the investment management fee ratio may not exceed 2.50% or fall
below 0.50% for the fiscal year. For the period, the total annualized management
fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was 0.69% of the average daily
net assets of the Fund.

Under a subadvisory agreement, TGAL, an affiliate of Advisers, provides
subadvisory services to the Fund and receives from Advisers fees based on the
average daily net assets of the Fund.

B. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

The Fund pays an administrative fee to FT Services of 0.20% per year of the
average daily net assets of the Fund.

7. 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.

8. UPCOMING AQUISITIONS/MERGERS

On February 27, 2007, the Board of Trustees for the Trust approved a proposal to
merge Franklin U.S. Long Short Fund, a series of Franklin Strategic Series, into
the Fund, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Franklin U.S.
Long-Short Fund.

9. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS

As part of various investigations by a number of federal, state, and foreign
regulators and governmental entities, including the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), 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 ("marketing support"), Franklin
Resources, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"),
entered into settlements with certain of those regulators and governmental
entities. Specifically, the Company entered into settlements with the SEC, among
others, concerning market timing and marketing support.

On June 6, 2007, the SEC posted for public comment the proposed plan of
distribution for the market timing settlement. Following the public comment
period, and once the SEC approves the final plan of distribution, disbursements
of settlement monies will be made promptly to individuals who were shareholders
of the designated funds during the relevant period, in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the settlement and plan.

In addition, the Company, as well as most of the mutual funds within Franklin
Templeton Investments and certain current or former officers, Company directors,
fund directors, and 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.). The lawsuits relate to the industry
practices referenced above, as well as to allegedly excessive commissions and
advisory and distribution fees.

The Company and fund management 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

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. On December 22, 2006, the Securities and Exchange
Commission extended the implementation date to no later than the last net asset
value calculation in the first semiannual reporting period in 2007. 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.

TEMPLETON GLOBAL LONG-SHORT FUND

BOARD REVIEW OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

At a meeting held April 17, 2007, the Board of Trustees ("Board"), including a
majority of non-interested or independent Trustees, approved renewal of the
investment management agreement for Templeton Global Long-Short Fund, one of the
two separate 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, as well as periodic reports on shareholder
services, legal, compliance, pricing, brokerage commissions and execution and
other services provided by the Investment Manager ("Manager") and its
affiliates. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal
process included a report for each Fund prepared by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper"), an
independent organization, as well as a Fund profitability analysis report
prepared by management. The Lipper reports compared each Fund's investment
performance and expenses with those of other mutual funds deemed comparable to
the Fund as selected by Lipper. The Fund profitability analysis report discussed
the profitability to Franklin Templeton Investments from its overall U.S. fund
operations, as well as on an individual fund-by-fund basis. Included with such
profitability analysis report was information on a fund-by-fund basis listing
portfolio managers and other accounts they manage, as well as information on
management fees charged by the Manager and its affiliates including management's
explanation of differences where relevant and a three-year expense analysis with
an explanation for any increase in expense ratios. Additional material
accompanying such report was a memorandum prepared by management describing
project initiatives and capital investments relating to the services provided to
the Funds by the Franklin Templeton Investments organization, as well as a
memorandum relating to economies of scale and a comparative analysis concerning
transfer agent fees charged each Fund.

In considering such materials, the independent Trustees received assistance and
advice from and met separately with independent counsel. While the investment
management agreements for both 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 each Fund and its shareholders. While
attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses some
primary factors relevant to the Board's decision.

BOARD REVIEW OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICE. The Board was satisfied with the nature
and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and its affiliates
to the Fund and its shareholders. In addition to investment performance and
expenses discussed later, the Board's opinion was based, in part, upon periodic
reports furnished them showing that the investment policies and restrictions for
the Fund were consistently complied with as well as other reports periodically
furnished the Board covering matters such as the compliance of portfolio
managers and other management personnel with the code of ethics adopted
throughout the Franklin Templeton fund complex, the adherence to fair value
pricing procedures established by the Board, and the accuracy of net asset value
calculations. The Board also noted the extent of benefits provided Fund
shareholders from being part of the Franklin Templeton family of funds,
including the right to exchange investments between the same class of funds
without a sales charge, the ability to reinvest Fund dividends into other funds
and the right to combine holdings in other funds to obtain a reduced sales
charge. Favorable consideration was given to management's continuous efforts and
expenditures in establishing back-up systems and recovery procedures to function
in the event of a natural disaster, it being noted that such systems and
procedures had functioned smoothly during the Florida hurricanes and blackouts
experienced in recent years. Among other factors taken into account by the Board
were the Manager's best execution trading policies, including a favorable report
by an independent portfolio trading analytical firm. Consideration was also
given to the experience of the Fund's portfolio management team, the number of
accounts managed and general method of compensation. In this latter respect, the
Board noted that a primary factor in management's determination of a portfolio
manager's bonus compensation was the relative investment performance of the
funds he or she managed and that a portion of such bonus was required to be
invested in a pre-designated list of funds within such person's fund management
area so as to be aligned with the interests of Fund shareholders. The Board also
took into account the quality of transfer agent and shareholder services
provided Fund shareholders by an affiliate of the Manager, noting continuing
expenditures by management to increase and improve the scope of such services,
periodic favorable reports on such service conducted by third parties, the high
industry ranking given to the Franklin Templeton website, and the firsthand
experience of individual Board members who deal with the shareholder services
department in their capacities as shareholders in one or more of the various
Franklin Templeton funds.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment
performance of the Fund in view of its importance to shareholders. While
consideration was given to performance reports and discussions with portfolio
managers at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention in
assessing performance was given to the Lipper reports furnished for the
agreement renewals. The Lipper reports prepared for the Fund showed the
investment performance of its Class A shares in comparison to a performance
universe selected by Lipper. The following summarizes the performance results
for the Fund and the Board's view of such performance.

Lipper report showed its total return for the one-year period ended January 31,
2007, as well as for the previous five years on an annualized basis to be in the
second-highest quintile of such performance universe. The Board was satisfied
with the Fund's performance.

COMPARATIVE EXPENSES. Consideration was given to the management fee and total
expense ratios of the Fund compared with those of a group of other funds
selected by Lipper as its appropriate Lipper expense group. Prior to making such
comparison, the Board relied upon a survey showing that the scope of management
advisory services covered under the Fund's investment management agreement was
similar to those provided by fund managers to other mutual fund groups. In
reviewing comparative costs, emphasis was given to the Fund's contractual
investment management fee in comparison with the investment management fee that
would have been charged by other funds within its Lipper expense group assuming
they were similar in size to the Fund, as well as the actual total expenses of
the Fund in comparison with those of its Lipper expense group. The Lipper
contractual investment management fee analysis includes administrative charges
as being part of the investment management fee, and actual total expenses, for
comparative consistency, are shown by Lipper for fund Class A shares. The
contractual investment management fee rate for Templeton Global Long-Short Fund
excludes adjustments reflecting the performance feature of its management
agreement and was the highest in its expense group, but its total expenses were
the lowest in such expense group. The Board was satisfied with the investment
management fees and total expenses of the Fund in comparison to its Lipper
expense group as shown in the Lipper reports.

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. Specific attention was given to the methodology
followed in allocating costs to each Fund, it being recognized that allocation
methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may
each be reasonable while producing different results. In this respect, the Board
noted that, while being continuously refined and reflecting changes in the
Manager's own cost accounting, the allocation methodology was consistent with
that followed in profitability report presentations for the Fund made in prior
years and that the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm had been
engaged by the Manager to perform certain procedures on a biennial basis,
specified and approved by the Manager and the Fund's Board solely for their
purposes and use 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 the Fund in determining its
profitability, as well as the fact that the level of profits, to a certain
extent, reflected operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by
management. The Board also took into account management's expenditures in
improving shareholder services provided the Fund, as well as the need to meet
additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and recent SEC requirements. In addition, the Board
considered a third-party study comparing the profitability of the Manager's
parent on an overall basis as compared 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 its interest in a joint
venture entity that financed up-front commissions paid to brokers/dealers who
sold fund Class B shares prior to February 2005, when the offering of such
shares was discontinued, as well as potential benefits resulting from allocation
of fund brokerage and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research.
Based upon its consideration of all these factors, the Board determined that the
level of profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates from providing
services to the Fund was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent
of services provided.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Board also considered whether economies of scale are
realized by the Manager as the Fund grows larger and the extent to which this is
reflected in the level of management fees charged. While recognizing that any
precise determination is inherently subjective, the Board noted that based upon
the Fund profitability analysis, it appears that as some funds get larger, at
some point economies of scale do result in the Manager realizing a larger profit
margin on management services provided such a fund. Templeton Global Long-Short
Fund has a fixed 1.7% management fee subject to adjustment based on performance.
In view of that Fund's asset size of approximately $191 million on December 31,
2006, and the actual level of its fee, the Board did not believe that management
was benefiting from any meaningful economies of scale in its management of
Templeton Global Long-Short Fund.
