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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUTUAL FUNDS | RETIREMENT PLANS | 529 COLLEGE SAVINGS PLANS | SEPARATE ACCOUNTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [GRAPHIC OMITTED] Not part of the semiannual report Contents SHAREHOLDER LETTER ........................................................ 1 SEMIANNUAL REPORT Franklin Templeton Money Fund ............................................. 3 Performance Summary ....................................................... 5 Your Fund's Expenses ..................................................... 6 Financial Highlights and Statement of Investments ......................... 8 Financial Statements ...................................................... 13 Notes to Financial Statements ............................................. 16 The Money Market Portfolios ............................................... 21 Shareholder Information ................................................... 32 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Semiannual Report Franklin Templeton Money Fund YOUR FUND'S GOAL AND MAIN INVESTMENTS: Franklin Templeton Money Fund seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of shareholders' capital and liquidity.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW Declining short-term interest rates during the period under review resulted in a decrease in the Fund's yield. For the six-month reporting period, the Fund's Class A, B, C and R shares' seven-day effective yields fell from 4.86%, 4.13%, 4.12% and 4.33% to 4.44%, 3.77%, 3.79% and 3.91%, respectively. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY OR INSTITUTION. ALTHOUGH THE FUND SEEKS TO PRESERVE THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT AT $1.00 PER SHARE, IT IS POSSIBLE TO LOSE MONEY BY INVESTING IN THE FUND. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW The U.S. economy decelerated during the six-month period ended December 31, 2007. In the third quarter, gross domestic product (GDP) growth advanced at a 4.9% annualized rate, the fastest pace in four years. During the reporting period, consumer spending and personal income supported economic expansion, but signs of a slowing economy became evident as a number of indicators reflected a housing market correction, financial market strains and softening business and consumer spending, as well as upward inflation pressures from increasing food, energy and commodity prices and a weaker dollar. In the fourth quarter, GDP growth slowed to an estimated 0.6% annualized rate. Oil prices exhibited continued volatility, reaching a historical high in November. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy costs, rose modestly for the period, signaling that inflation risk remains. For December 2007, core inflation had a 12-month increase of 2.4%. 1 The Federal Reserve Board's (Fed's) preferred measure of inflation, the core personal consumption expenditures price index, reported a 12-month increase of 2.2%. 2 1.

The Fed cut the discount rate (the Fed's interest rate charged to member banks) four times, bringing the rate to 4.75%. It also lowered the federal funds target rate three times. Minutes released from its December meeting, in which the Fed lowered the federal funds target rate to 4.25%, cited an uncertain outlook for economic growth and inflation and the need for the committee to be "exceptionally alert to economic and financial developments." Over the period, investors sought relative safety in short-term U.S. Treasuries, Treasury yields declined and the yield curve steepened. Short-term, two- and five-year yields declined significantly, with the two-year bill yielding 3.05% at the end of December, down from 4.87% a year earlier. The 10-year U.S. Treasury note ended December yielding 4.04%, compared with 5.03% at the beginning of the period. INVESTMENT STRATEGY Consistent with our strategy, we invest, through the Portfolio, mainly in high-quality, short-term U.S. dollar denominated money market securities of domestic and foreign issuers, including bank obligations, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and U.S. government securities. We maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less. We seek to provide shareholders with a high-quality, conservative investment vehicle; thus, we do not invest the Fund's cash in derivatives or other relatively volatile securities that we believe involve undue risk. MANAGER'S DISCUSSION We continued to invest the Portfolio's assets in high-quality money market securities. For example, on December 31, 2007, 100% of the securities purchased for the Portfolio carried short-term credit ratings of A-1 or P-1, or higher, by independent credit rating agency Standard & Poor's or Moody's Investors Service. 3 We appreciate your support, welcome new shareholders and look forward to serving your investment needs in the years ahead. 3.

Semiannual Report | 5 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. 6 | Semiannual Report 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 7/1/07 VALUE 12/31/07 PERIOD* 7/1/07-12/31/07 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual $1,000 $1,023.50 $3.05 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) $1,000 $1,022.12 $3.05 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLASS B - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual $1,000 $1,020.10 $6.30 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) $1,000 $1,018.90 $6.29 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLASS C - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual $1,000 $1,020.40 $6.04 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) $1,000 $1,019.15 $6.04 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLASS R - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual $1,000 $1,020.90 $5.59 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) $1,000 $1,019.61 $5.58 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Expenses are calculated using the most recent six-month expense ratio, net of expense waivers, annualized for each class (A: 0.60%; B: 1.24%; C: 1.19%; and R: 1.10%), which includes the expenses incurred by the Portfolio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the one-half year period.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Franklin Templeton Money Fund Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as a diversified, open-end investment company, consisting of one Fund, the Franklin Templeton Money Fund (Fund). The Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R. Each class of shares differs by contingent deferred sales charges, distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in The Money Market Portfolio (Portfolio), which is registered under the 1940 Act as a diversified, open-end investment company. The accounting policies of the Portfolio, including the Portfolio's security valuation policies, will directly affect the recorded value of the Fund's investment in the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Statement of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements. The following summarizes the Fund's significant accounting policies. A. SECURITY VALUATION The Fund holds Portfolio shares that are valued at its proportionate interest in the closing net asset value of the Portfolio. As of December 31, 2007, the Fund owns 3.74% of the Portfolio. B. INCOME 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. C. 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. Income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividends from net investment income received from the Portfolio are normally declared daily. Distributions to shareholders are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined on a tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences are not reclassified, as they may reverse in subsequent periods. Net investment income, other than class specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative value of the settled shares of each class. Realized and unrealized 16 | Semiannual Report Franklin Templeton Money Fund Trust NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) FRANKLIN TEMPLETON MONEY FUND 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED) gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in per share distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. D. 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. E. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote. 2. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST At December 31, 2007, there were an unlimited number of shares authorized (without par value). Transactions in the Fund's shares at $1.00 per share were as follows: ------------------------------------ SIX MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 JUNE 30, 2007 a ------------------------------------ CLASS A SHARES: Shares sold ........................................ $ 783,251 $ 345,267 Shares issued in reinvestment of distributions ..... 16,106 1,425 Shares redeemed ....................................

WAIVER AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS Advisers has agreed in advance to waive all or a portion of its fees and to assume payment of other expenses through October 31, 2008. Total expenses waived are not subject to reimbursement by the Fund subsequent to the Fund's fiscal year end. After October 31, 2008, Advisers may discontinue this waiver at any time upon notice to the Fund's Board of Trustees. 4. INCOME TAXES At December 31, 2007, the cost of investments for book and income tax purposes was the same. 5. 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. 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. Semiannual Report | 19 Franklin Templeton Money Fund Trust NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) FRANKLIN TEMPLETON MONEY FUND 5. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS (CONTINUED) 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. 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 Trust, it is committed to making the Trust or its shareholders whole, as appropriate. 6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Fund adopted 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), on December 31, 2007. FIN 48 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. The Fund has reviewed the tax positions for each of the three open tax years as of June 30, 2007 and has determined that the implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements. 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. 20 | Semiannual Report The Money Market Portfolios FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, (UNAUDITED) 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PER SHARE OPERATING PERFORMANCE (for a share outstanding throughout the period) Net asset value, beginning of period ..................... $ 1.00 $ 1.00 $ 1.00 $ 1.00 $ 1.00 $ 1.00 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income from investment operations: Net investment income ......... 0.025 0.052 0.041 0.020 0.009 0.014 Net realized gains (losses) ... -- -- c -- -- -- -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Less distributions from net investment income .............

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Money Market Portfolios (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as a diversified, open-end investment company, consisting of one portfolio, The Money Market Portfolio (Portfolio). The shares of the Portfolio are issued in private placements and are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The following summarizes the Portfolios' significant accounting policies. A. SECURITY VALUATION Securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. This method involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. All security valuation procedures are approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. B. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, which are accounted for as a loan by the Portfolio to the seller, collateralized by securities which are delivered to the Portfolio's custodian. The market value, including accrued interest, of the initial collateralization is required to be at least 102% of the dollar amount invested by the Portfolio, with the value of the underlying securities marked to market daily to maintain coverage of at least 100%. All repurchase agreements held by the Portfolio at period end had been entered into on December 31, 2007. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost. C. INCOME TAXES No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because it is the Portfolio'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. D. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities are included in interest income. Dividends from net investment income are normally declared daily and distributed monthly. Distributions to shareholders are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined on a tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences are not reclassified, as they may reverse in subsequent periods. Semiannual Report | 27 The Money Market Portfolios NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) E. 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. F. 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.

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. 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. 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 Trust, it is committed to making the Trust or its shareholders whole, as appropriate. 30 | Semiannual Report The Money Market Portfolios NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) 8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Portfolio adopted 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"), on December 31, 2007. FIN 48 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. The Trust reviewed the tax positions for each of the three open tax years as of June 30, 2007 and have determined that the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Portfolio's financial statements. 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.
