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.

Government stimulus measures helped thaw credit markets, the financial system avoided collapse, and many companies reported better-than-expected earnings after cutting costs. Investors breathed a collective sigh of relief, and equity markets enjoyed a remarkable rally while interest rates remained low and inflation was subdued.

After several quarters of contraction, economic activity expanded in the third and fourth quarters. In the year's second half, corporate profit growth was higher than earlier estimates, which may allow businesses to build inventory following a long period of inventory drawdowns. Economic challenges remain, such as stalled consumer confidence and job prospects for the unemployed, as stimulus measures wind down, but several reports pointed to improving economic conditions. Throughout the year, the Federal Open Market Committee kept U.S. monetary policy unchanged, announcing it intends to hold the federal funds target rate in the 0% to 0.25% range "for an extended period" as it lays the groundwork for an eventual tightening of monetary policy. Late in the period, the labor market improved somewhat as the economy lost fewer jobs than expected and the unemployment rate fell slightly, dropping from a period high of 10.2% in October to 10.0% at period-end.(1) Globally, equity markets entered 2009 largely pricing in a possible economic depression and systemic solvency crisis, scenarios that were ultimately averted by one of the most aggressive global policy responses in financial history. As government monetary and fiscal intervention began to gain traction toward the end of the first quarter, equities bottomed and largely reversed their decline, economic growth stabilized and rebounded, and confidence was rekindled as investors began to believe the global financial system was finally on the mend. Emerging market economies fueled the global recovery as governments aggressively incentivized lending and consumption, resulting in a dramatic recovery that laid the groundwork for the developing world's equity rally. Growing demand from emerging markets supported commodity prices, which also posted record gains during the year. For most of the year, the fading U.S. dollar also helped underpin the rally in hard assets, while continued euro and yen strength created headwinds for regional recoveries. For the 12 months under review, the blue chip stocks of the Dow Jones Industrial Average delivered a total return of +22.68%, while the broader Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500) posted a +26.46% total return and (1.)

INVESTMENT STRATEGY Whenever possible, we attempt to hold the same underlying Franklin Templeton funds in each Target Fund's portfolio and will vary the underlying funds' allocation percentages based upon each Target Fund's risk/return level. Maintaining similarity of the underlying Franklin Templeton fund investments across the Conservative, Moderate and Growth Target Funds is intended to increase the consistency of their results relative to one another. We allocate the Fund's assets among the broad asset classes, and when selecting equity funds, we consider the underlying funds' foreign and domestic exposure, market capitalization ranges and investment styles (growth versus value). When selecting fixed income funds, we focus primarily on maximizing income appropriate to the Fund's risk profile. MANAGER'S DISCUSSION The Fund's performance can be attributed to its allocation among equities, fixed income securities, and short-term investments and other net assets, and to the actual performance of the selected underlying funds. At period-end, Franklin Templeton Conservative Target Fund's domestic equity exposure was 69.6% of its total equity weighting, with the balance represented by foreign equity. The portfolio was diversified across capitalization sizes and (2.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar. All Rights Reserved.

The S&P 500 consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. Each stock's weight in the index is proportionate to its market value. The S&P 500 is one of the most widely used benchmarks of U.S. equity performance. The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity market performance in global developed markets excluding the U.S. and Canada. The BC U.S. Aggregate Index is a market capitalization-weighted index representing the U.S. investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market with index components for government and corporate, mortgage pass-through and asset-backed securities. All issues included are SEC registered, taxable, dollar denominated and nonconvertible, must have at least one year to final maturity and must be rated investment grade (Baa3/BBB-/BBB- or higher) by Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch, respectively. The P&R 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index is a total return index based on a constant maturity instrument. Payden & Rygel includes both accrued interest and change in market price in its monthly total return calculations. The value of Treasuries, if held to maturity, is fixed; principal is guaranteed and interest is fixed. The indexes are unmanaged and include reinvested distributions. One cannot invest directly in an index, and an index is not representative of the Fund's portfolio. 6 | Annual Report investment styles, and on December 31, 2009, we held shares in large-, mid- and small-capitalization equity funds, representing both growth and value styles. Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund - Advisor Class, representing 10.9% of the Fund's total net assets, was our largest equity fund weighting at period-end. On the fixed income side, domestic exposure was 61.6% of the Fund's total income weighting, with the balance represented by foreign fixed income. Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund - Advisor Class was our largest fixed income fund weighting at 12.8% of total net assets. Our largest domestic growth fund holding, Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund - Advisor Class, and our largest domestic value fund holding, Mutual Shares Fund - Class Z, outperformed the S&P 500 during the 12-month reporting period. Our largest foreign equity fund holding, Mutual European Fund - Class Z, under-performed the MSCI EAFE Index; however, Templeton Foreign Fund - Advisor Class outperformed. On the fixed income side, Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund - Advisor class underperformed the BC U.S. Aggregate Index, while Templeton Global Bond Fund - Advisor Class outperformed.

$13,342 ENDNOTES WHILE AN ASSET ALLOCATION PLAN CAN BE A VALUABLE TOOL TO HELP REDUCE OVERALL VOLATILITY, ALL INVESTMENTS INVOLVE SOME DEGREE OF RISK. TYPICALLY, THE MORE AGGRESSIVE THE INVESTMENT, OR THE GREATER THE POTENTIAL RETURN, THE MORE RISK INVOLVED. GENERALLY, INVESTORS SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH SOME FLUCTUATION IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENTS, ESPECIALLY OVER THE SHORT TERM. STOCKS HAVE HISTORICALLY OUTPERFORMED OTHER ASSET CLASSES OVER THE LONG TERM, BUT THEY TEND TO FLUCTUATE MORE DRAMATICALLY OVER THE SHORTER TERM. BOND PRICES GENERALLY MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF INTEREST RATES. THUS, AS PRICES OF BONDS IN A FUND ADJUST TO A RISE IN INTEREST RATES, THAT FUND'S SHARE PRICE MAY DECLINE. BECAUSE THIS FUND INVESTS IN UNDERLYING FUNDS, WHICH MAY ENGAGE IN A VARIETY OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES INVOLVING CERTAIN RISKS, THE FUND MAY BE SUBJECT TO THOSE SAME RISKS. THESE RISKS ARE DESCRIBED IN THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS. 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. CLASS R: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus. 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.) If the manager had not waived fees, 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. (4.) These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated. (5.) Figures are as stated in the Fund's prospectus current as of the date of this report. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual Fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown. (6.) Effective 12/1/05, 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 12/1/05, 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 11/30/05, actual Advisor Class performance is used reflecting all charges and fees applicable to that class. Since 12/1/05 (commencement of sales), the cumulative and average annual total returns of Advisor Class shares were +22.59% and +5.12%. (7.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar.

All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses. The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. ACTUAL FUND EXPENSES The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual account values and expenses. The "Ending Account Value" is derived from the Fund's actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses. You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps. OF COURSE, YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND EXPENSES WILL DIFFER FROM THOSE IN THIS ILLUSTRATION: 1. Divide your account value by $1,000. IF AN ACCOUNT HAD AN $8,600 VALUE, THEN $8,600 / $1,000 = 8.6. 2. Multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period." IF EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD WERE $7.50, THEN 8.6 X $7.50 = $64.50. In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH OTHER FUNDS Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund's actual return. The figure under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. Annual Report | 13 Your Fund's Expenses (CONTINUED) PLEASE NOTE THAT EXPENSES SHOWN IN THE TABLE ARE MEANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONGOING COSTS AND DO NOT REFLECT ANY TRANSACTION COSTS, SUCH AS SALES CHARGES. Therefore, the second line for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your total costs would have been higher. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY Whenever possible, we attempt to hold the same underlying Franklin Templeton funds in each Target Fund's portfolio and will vary the underlying funds' allocation percentages based upon each Target Fund's risk/return level. Maintaining similarity of the underlying Franklin Templeton fund investments across the Conservative, Moderate and Growth Target Funds is intended to increase the consistency of their results relative to one another. We allocate the Fund's assets among the broad asset classes, and when selecting equity funds, we consider the underlying funds' foreign and domestic exposure, market capitalization ranges and investment styles (growth versus value). When selecting fixed income funds, we focus primarily on maximizing income appropriate to the Fund's risk profile. MANAGER'S DISCUSSION The Fund's performance can be attributed to its allocation among equities, fixed income securities, and short-term investments and other net assets, and to the actual performance of the selected underlying funds. At period-end, Franklin Templeton Moderate Target Fund's domestic equity exposure was 69.7% of its total equity weighting, with the balance represented (2.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar.

The S&P 500 consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. Each stock's weight in the index is proportionate to its market value. The S&P 500 is one of the most widely used benchmarks of U.S. equity performance. The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity market performance in global developed markets excluding the U.S. and Canada. The BC U.S. Aggregate Index is a market capitalization-weighted index representing the U.S. investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market with index components for government and corporate, mortgage pass-through and asset-backed securities. All issues included are SEC registered, taxable, dollar denominated and nonconvertible, must have at least one year to final maturity and must be rated investment grade (Baa3/BBB-/BBB- or higher) by Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch, respectively. The P&R 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index is a total return index based on a constant maturity instrument. Payden & Rygel includes both accrued interest and change in market price in its monthly total return calculations. The value of Treasuries, if held to maturity, is fixed; principal is guaranteed and interest is fixed. The indexes are unmanaged and include reinvested distributions. One cannot invest directly in an index, and an index is not representative of the Fund's portfolio. 16 | Annual Report by foreign equity. The portfolio was diversified across capitalization sizes and investment styles, and on December 31, 2009, we held shares in large-, mid-and small-capitalization equity funds, representing both growth and value styles.

HELP REDUCE OVERALL VOLATILITY, ALL INVESTMENTS INVOLVE SOME DEGREE OF RISK. TYPICALLY, THE MORE AGGRESSIVE THE INVESTMENT, OR THE GREATER THE POTENTIAL RETURN, THE MORE RISK INVOLVED. GENERALLY, INVESTORS SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH SOME FLUCTUATION IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENTS, ESPECIALLY OVER THE SHORT TERM. STOCKS HAVE HISTORICALLY OUTPERFORMED OTHER ASSET CLASSES OVER THE LONG TERM, BUT THEY TEND TO FLUCTUATE MORE DRAMATICALLY OVER THE SHORTER TERM. BOND PRICES GENERALLY MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF INTEREST RATES. THUS, AS PRICES OF BONDS IN A FUND ADJUST TO A RISE IN INTEREST RATES, THAT FUND'S SHARE PRICE MAY DECLINE. BECAUSE THIS FUND INVESTS IN UNDERLYING FUNDS, WHICH MAY ENGAGE IN A VARIETY OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES INVOLVING CERTAIN RISKS, THE FUND MAY BE SUBJECT TO THOSE SAME RISKS. THESE RISKS ARE DESCRIBED IN THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS. 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. CLASS R: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus. 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.) If the manager had not waived fees, 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. (4.) These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated. (5.) Figures are as stated in the Fund's prospectus current as of the date of this report. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown. (6.) Effective 12/1/05, 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 12/1/05, 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 11/30/05, actual Advisor Class performance is used reflecting all charges and fees applicable to that class. Since 12/1/05 (commencement of sales), the cumulative and average annual total returns of Advisor Class shares were +21.90% and +4.97%. (7.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar.

All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses. The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. ACTUAL FUND EXPENSES The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual account values and expenses. The "Ending Account Value" is derived from the Fund's actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses. You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps. OF COURSE, YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND EXPENSES WILL DIFFER FROM THOSE IN THIS ILLUSTRATION: 1. Divide your account value by $1,000. IF AN ACCOUNT HAD AN $8,600 VALUE, THEN $8,600 / $1,000 = 8.6. 2. Multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period." IF EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD WERE $7.50, THEN 8.6 X $7.50 = $64.50. In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH OTHER FUNDS Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund's actual return. The figure under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. Annual Report | 23 Your Fund's Expenses (CONTINUED) PLEASE NOTE THAT EXPENSES SHOWN IN THE TABLE ARE MEANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONGOING COSTS AND DO NOT REFLECT ANY TRANSACTION COSTS, SUCH AS SALES CHARGES. Therefore, the second line for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your total costs would have been higher. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY Whenever possible, we attempt to hold the same underlying Franklin Templeton funds in each Target Fund's portfolio and will vary the underlying funds' allocation percentages based upon each Target Fund's risk/return level. Maintaining similarity of the underlying Franklin Templeton fund investments across the Conservative, Moderate and Growth Target Funds is intended to increase the consistency of their results relative to one another. We allocate the Fund's assets among the broad asset classes, and when selecting equity funds, we consider the underlying funds' foreign and domestic exposure, market capitalization ranges and investment styles (growth versus value). When selecting fixed income funds, we focus primarily on maximizing income appropriate to the Fund's risk profile. MANAGER'S DISCUSSION The Fund's performance can be attributed to its allocation among equities, fixed income securities, and short-term investments and other net assets, and by the actual performance of the selected underlying funds. At period-end, Franklin Templeton Growth Target Fund's domestic equity exposure was 69.7% of its total equity weighting, with the balance represented by foreign equity. The portfolio was diversified across capitalization sizes and investment styles, and on December 31, 2009, we held shares in large-, mid-and small-capitalization equity funds, representing both growth and value (2.)

The S&P 500 consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. Each stock's weight in the index is proportionate to its market value. The S&P 500 is one of the most widely used benchmarks of U.S. equity performance. The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity market performance in global developed markets excluding the U.S. and Canada. The BC U.S. Aggregate Index is a market capitalization-weighted index representing the U.S. investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market with index components for government and corporate, mortgage pass-through and asset-backed securities. All issues included are SEC registered, taxable, dollar denominated and nonconvertible, must have at least one year to final maturity and must be rated investment grade (Baa3/BBB-/BBB- or higher) by Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch, respectively. The P&R 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index is a total return index based on a constant maturity instrument. Payden & Rygel includes both accrued interest and change in market price in its monthly total return calculations. The value of Treasuries, if held to maturity, is fixed; principal is guaranteed and interest is fixed. The indexes are unmanaged and include reinvested distributions. One cannot invest directly in an index, and an index is not representative of the Fund's portfolio. 26 | Annual Report styles.

INVOLVE SOME DEGREE OF RISK. TYPICALLY, THE MORE AGGRESSIVE THE INVESTMENT, OR THE GREATER THE POTENTIAL RETURN, THE MORE RISK INVOLVED. GENERALLY, INVESTORS SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH SOME FLUCTUATION IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENTS, ESPECIALLY OVER THE SHORT TERM. STOCKS HAVE HISTORICALLY OUTPERFORMED OTHER ASSET CLASSES OVER THE LONG TERM, BUT THEY TEND TO FLUCTUATE MORE DRAMATICALLY OVER THE SHORTER TERM. BOND PRICES GENERALLY MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF INTEREST RATES. THUS, AS PRICES OF BONDS IN A FUND ADJUST TO A RISE IN INTEREST RATES, THAT FUND'S SHARE PRICE MAY DECLINE. BECAUSE THIS FUND INVESTS IN UNDERLYING FUNDS, WHICH MAY ENGAGE IN A VARIETY OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES INVOLVING CERTAIN RISKS, THE FUND MAY BE SUBJECT TO THOSE SAME RISKS. THESE RISKS ARE DESCRIBED IN THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS. 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. CLASS R: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus. 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.) If the manager had not waived fees, 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. (4.) These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated. (5.) Figures are as stated in the Fund's prospectus current as of the date of this report. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual Fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown. (6.) Effective 12/1/05, 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 12/1/05, 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 11/30/05, actual Advisor Class performance is used reflecting all charges and fees applicable to that class. Since 12/1/05 (commencement of sales), the cumulative and average annual total returns of Advisor Class shares were +16.16% and +3.74%. (7.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar.

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.

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.

Annual Report | 57 Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end investment company, consisting of ten separate funds, three of which are included in this report (Funds). The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. The Funds invest primarily in Franklin Templeton mutual funds (Underlying Funds). The Funds offer five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, 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 Funds' significant accounting policies. A. SECURITY VALUATION Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of trading of the NYSE. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at their closing net asset value each trading day. B. INCOME TAXES No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because it is each 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. The Funds have reviewed the tax positions, taken on federal income tax returns, for each of the three open tax years and as of December 31, 2009, and have determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements. 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. Estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and realized gain distributions by Underlying Funds are recorded on 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 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. 58 | Annual Report Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED) 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. The Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses from the Underlying Funds. Since the Underlying Funds have varied expense levels and the Funds may own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of expenses incurred indirectly by the Funds will vary. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, not including class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in per share distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. 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. REDEMPTION FEES A short term trading redemption fee was imposed, with some exceptions, on any fund shares that were redeemed or exchanged within seven calendar days following their purchase date. The redemption fee was 2% of the amount redeemed. Such fees were retained by the funds and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. Effective September 1, 2008, the redemption fee was eliminated. 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, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote. Annual Report | 59 Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2.

The amount of expenses allocated during the year ended December 31, 2009 is noted in the Statements of Operations. 8. CREDIT FACILITY The Funds, together with other U.S. registered and foreign investment funds (collectively "Borrowers"), managed by Franklin Templeton Investments, are borrowers in a joint syndicated senior unsecured credit facility totaling $725 million (Global Credit Facility) to provide a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the ability to meet future unanticipated or unusually large redemption requests. Effective January 22, 2010, the Funds renewed the Global Credit Facility, for a total of $750 million, maturing January 21, 2011. Under the terms of the Global Credit Facility, the Funds shall, in addition to interest charged on any borrowings made by the Funds and other costs incurred by the Funds, pay their share of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and maintenance of the Global Credit Facility, based upon their relative share of the aggregate net assets of all of the Borrowers, including an annual commitment fee of 0.10% based upon the unused portion of the Global Credit Facility, which is reflected in other expenses on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Funds did not utilize the Global Credit Facility. 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Trust follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Trust's own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy: - Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities - Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.) - Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Annual Report | 67 Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED) At December 31, 2009, all of the Funds' investments in Underlying Funds carried at fair value were in Level 1 inputs.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through February 15, 2010, the issuance date of the financial statements and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure. 68 | Annual Report Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FRANKLIN TEMPLETON FUND ALLOCATOR SERIES In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Franklin Templeton Conservative Target Fund, Franklin Templeton Moderate Target Fund and Franklin Templeton Growth Target Fund (separate portfolios of Franklin Templeton Allocator Series, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at December 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of investments in the Underlying Funds at December 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the Underlying Funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

STATEMENTS OF FACT ARE FROM SOURCES CONSIDERED RELIABLE. 2 | Not part of the annual report Annual Report Economic and Market Overview The U.S. economy ended 2009 in much better shape than it began. After several quarters of contraction, economic activity expanded in the third and fourth quarters. In the year's second half, corporate profit growth was higher than earlier estimates, which may allow businesses to build inventory following a long period of inventory drawdowns. Economic challenges remain, such as stalled consumer confidence and job prospects for the unemployed, as stimulus measures wind down, but several reports pointed to improving economic conditions. Throughout the year, the Federal Open Market Committee kept U.S. monetary policy unchanged, announcing it intends to hold the federal funds target rate in the 0% to 0.25% range "for an extended period" as it lays the groundwork for an eventual tightening of monetary policy. Late in the period, the labor market improved somewhat as the economy lost fewer jobs than expected and the unemployment rate fell slightly, dropping from a period high of 10.2% in October to 10.0% at period-end.(1) Globally, equity markets entered 2009 largely pricing in a possible economic depression and systemic solvency crisis, scenarios that were ultimately averted by one of the most aggressive global policy responses in financial history. As government monetary and fiscal intervention began to gain traction toward the end of the first quarter, equities bottomed and largely reversed their decline, economic growth stabilized and rebounded, and confidence was rekindled as investors began to believe the global financial system was finally on the mend. Emerging market economies fueled the global recovery as governments aggressively incentivized lending and consumption, resulting in a dramatic recovery that laid the groundwork for the developing world's equity rally. Growing demand from emerging markets supported commodity prices, which also posted record gains during the year. For most of the year, the fading U.S. dollar also helped underpin the rally in hard assets, while continued euro and yen strength created headwinds for regional recoveries. (1.)

THE DOLLAR VALUE, NUMBER OF SHARES OR PRINCIPAL AMOUNT, AND NAMES OF ALL PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS ARE LISTED IN THE FUND'S SOI, WHICH BEGINS ON PAGE 37. Annual Report | 5 INVESTMENT STRATEGY The Fund invests its assets allocated approximately 50% in Franklin Growth Fund and approximately 25% each in Mutual Shares Fund and Templeton Growth Fund. These underlying funds, in turn, invest primarily in U.S. and foreign equity securities and, to a lesser extent, fixed income and money market securities. As market conditions affect the underlying funds, we rebalance the Fund's allocations to maintain the predetermined weightings in each underlying fund whenever the actual allocations exceed plus or minus 3% of the fixed allocation percentages. PORTFOLIO REVIEW The Fund's performance can be attributed largely to maintaining a relatively static allocation among domestic and foreign equities, fixed income securities, and short-term investments and other net assets, and to the actual performance of the selected underlying funds. During the fiscal year under review, all three underlying funds had positive total returns. Franklin Growth Fund - Advisor Class and Mutual Shares Fund - Class Z outperformed the S&P 500, while Templeton Growth Fund - Advisor Class performed comparably to the MSCI World Index. Thank you for your continued participation in Franklin Templeton Corefolio Allocation Fund. We look forward to serving your future investment needs. (PHOTO OF T. ANTHONY COFFEY) /s/ T.

STOCKS HAVE HISTORICALLY OUTPERFORMED OTHER ASSET CLASSES OVER THE LONG TERM, BUT TEND TO FLUCTUATE MORE DRAMATICALLY OVER THE SHORTER TERM. FOREIGN INVESTING CARRIES ADDITIONAL RISKS SUCH AS CURRENCY AND MARKET VOLATILITY, AND POLITICAL OR SOCIAL INSTABILITY. THESE AND OTHER RISKS, INCLUDING INVESTMENTS IN SPECIALIZED INDUSTRY SECTORS, SUCH AS THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR, WHICH HAS BEEN AMONG THE MARKET'S MOST VOLATILE SECTORS, INVOLVES SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS ALSO INCLUDES A DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN INVESTMENT RISKS. CLASS B: These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares. CLASS C: Prior to 1/1/04, these shares were offered with an initial sales charge; thus actual total returns would have differed. These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares. CLASS R: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus. 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.) If the administrator had not waived fees, 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. (4.) These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated. (5.) Figures are as stated in the Fund's prospectus current as of the date of this report. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual Fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown. (6.) Source: (c) 2009 Morningstar.

Annual Report | 11 Your Fund's Expenses FRANKLIN TEMPLETON COREFOLIO ALLOCATION FUND As a Fund shareholder, you can incur two types of costs: - - Transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on Fund purchases; and - - Ongoing Fund costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses. The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. ACTUAL FUND EXPENSES The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual account values and expenses. The "Ending Account Value" is derived from the Fund's actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses. You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps. OF COURSE, YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND EXPENSES WILL DIFFER FROM THOSE IN THIS ILLUSTRATION: 1. Divide your account value by $1,000. IF AN ACCOUNT HAD AN $8,600 VALUE, THEN $8,600 / $1,000 = 8.6. 2. Multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period." IF EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD WERE $7.50, THEN 8.6 X $7.50 = $64.50. In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH OTHER FUNDS Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund's actual return. The figure under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. 12 | Annual 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. 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.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW Franklin Templeton Founding Funds Allocation Fund - Class A delivered a +31.05% cumulative total return for the 12 months under review.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY The Fund invests its assets in an equally weighted combination of Franklin Income Fund, Mutual Shares Fund and Templeton Growth Fund. These underlying funds, in turn, invest primarily in U.S. and foreign equity securities and, to a lesser extent, fixed income and money market securities. As market conditions affect the underlying funds, we rebalance the Fund's allocations to maintain the predetermined equal weightings of approximately 33 1/3% of total net assets in each underlying fund whenever the actual allocations exceed plus or minus 3% of the fixed allocation percentages.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW The Fund's performance can be attributed largely to maintaining a relatively static allocation among domestic and foreign equities, fixed income securities, and short-term investments and other net assets, and to the actual performance of the selected underlying funds. During the fiscal year under review, all three underlying funds had positive total returns. Franklin Income Fund - Advisor Class and Mutual Shares Fund - Class Z outperformed the S&P 500, while Templeton Growth Fund - Advisor Class performed comparably to the MSCI World Index.

STOCKS HISTORICALLY HAVE OUTPERFORMED OTHER ASSET CLASSES OVER THE LONG TERM, BUT TEND TO FLUCTUATE MORE DRAMATICALLY OVER THE SHORT TERM. BONDS ARE AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES AND THE CREDITWORTHINESS OF THEIR ISSUERS. BOND PRICES GENERALLY MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF INTEREST RATES. THUS, AS PRICES OF BONDS ADJUST TO A RISE IN INTEREST RATES, THE FUND'S SHARE PRICE MAY DECLINE. HIGHER YIELDING, LOWER RATED CORPORATE BONDS ENTAIL A GREATER DEGREE OF CREDIT RISK COMPARED TO INVESTMENT-GRADE SECURITIES. FOREIGN INVESTING, ESPECIALLY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, CARRIES ADDITIONAL RISKS SUCH AS CURRENCY AND MARKET VOLATILITY, AND POLITICAL OR SOCIAL INSTABILITY. VALUE SECURITIES MAY NOT INCREASE IN PRICE AS ANTICIPATED OR MAY DECLINE FURTHER IN VALUE. THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS ALSO INCLUDES A DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN INVESTMENT RISKS. CLASS B: These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares. CLASS C: Prior to 1/1/04, these shares were offered with an initial sales charge; thus actual total returns would have differed. These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares. CLASS R: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus. 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.) If the administrator had not waived fees, 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. (4.) These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated. (5.) Figures are as stated in the Fund's prospectus current as of the date of this report. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual Fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown. (6.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar.

All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses. The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. ACTUAL FUND EXPENSES The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual account values and expenses. The "Ending Account Value" is derived from the Fund's actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses. You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps. OF COURSE, YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND EXPENSES WILL DIFFER FROM THOSE IN THIS ILLUSTRATION: 1. Divide your account value by $1,000. IF AN ACCOUNT HAD AN $8,600 VALUE, THEN $8,600 / $1,000 = 8.6. 2. Multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period." IF EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD WERE $7.50, THEN 8.6 X $7.50 = $64.50. In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH OTHER FUNDS Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund's actual return. The figure under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. Annual Report | 21 Your Fund's Expenses (CONTINUED) PLEASE NOTE THAT EXPENSES SHOWN IN THE TABLE ARE MEANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONGOING COSTS AND DO NOT REFLECT ANY TRANSACTION COSTS, SUCH AS SALES CHARGES. Therefore, the second line for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your total costs would have been higher. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW Franklin Templeton Perspectives Allocation Fund - Class A delivered a +30.65% cumulative total return for the 12 months under review.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY The Fund invests its assets in an equally weighted combination of Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund, Mutual Shares Fund and Templeton Growth Fund. These underlying funds, in turn, invest primarily in U.S. and foreign equity securities and, to a lesser extent, fixed income and money market securities. As market conditions affect the underlying funds, we rebalance the Fund's allocations to maintain the predetermined equal weightings of approximately 33 1/3% of total net assets in each underlying fund whenever the actual allocations exceed plus or minus 3% of the fixed allocation percentages.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW The Fund's performance can be attributed largely to maintaining a relatively static allocation among domestic and foreign equities, fixed income securities, and short-term investments and other net assets, and to the actual performance of the selected underlying funds. During the fiscal year under review, all three underlying funds had positive total returns. Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund - Advisor Class and Mutual Shares Fund - Class Z outperformed the S&P 500, while Templeton Growth Fund - Advisor Class performed comparably to the MSCI World Index.

STOCKS HISTORICALLY HAVE OUTPERFORMED OTHER ASSET CLASSES OVER THE LONG TERM, BUT TEND TO FLUCTUATE MORE DRAMATICALLY OVER THE SHORT TERM. FOREIGN INVESTING, ESPECIALLY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, CARRIES ADDITIONAL RISKS SUCH AS CURRENCY AND MARKET VOLATILITY, AND POLITICAL OR SOCIAL INSTABILITY. THE PORTFOLIO MAY INCLUDE INVESTMENTS IN THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR, WHICH HAS BEEN AMONG THE MOST VOLATILE IN THE MARKET. SMALLER OR RELATIVELY NEW OR UNSEASONED COMPANIES CAN BE PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE TO CHANGING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, AND THEIR PROSPECTS FOR GROWTH ARE LESS CERTAIN THAN THOSE OF LARGER, MORE ESTABLISHED COMPANIES. VALUE SECURITIES MAY NOT INCREASE IN PRICE AS ANTICIPATED OR MAY DECLINE FURTHER IN VALUE. THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS ALSO INCLUDES A DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN INVESTMENT RISKS. CLASS C: These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares. CLASS R: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus. 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.) If the administrator had not waived fees, 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. (4.) These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated. (5.) Figures are as stated in the Fund's prospectus current as of the date of this report. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual Fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown. (6.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar.

Annual Report | 29 Your Fund's Expenses FRANKLIN TEMPLETON PERSPECTIVES ALLOCATION FUND As a Fund shareholder, you can incur two types of costs: - - Transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on Fund purchases; and - - Ongoing Fund costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses. The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. ACTUAL FUND EXPENSES The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual account values and expenses. The "Ending Account Value" is derived from the Fund's actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses. You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps. OF COURSE, YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND EXPENSES WILL DIFFER FROM THOSE IN THIS ILLUSTRATION: 1. Divide your account value by $1,000. IF AN ACCOUNT HAD AN $8,600 VALUE, THEN $8,600 / $1,000 = 8.6. 2. Multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period." IF EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD WERE $7.50, THEN 8.6 X $7.50 = $64.50. In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH OTHER FUNDS Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund's actual return. The figure under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. 30 | Annual 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. 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.

Annual Report | 53 Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end investment company, consisting of ten separate funds, three of which are included in this report (Funds). The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. The Funds invest primarily in Franklin Templeton mutual funds (Underlying Funds). The classes of shares offered within each of the Funds are indicated below. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class and its exchange privilege. CLASS A, CLASS B, CLASS C, CLASS R & ADVISOR CLASS CLASS A, CLASS C, CLASS R & ADVISOR CLASS - -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- Franklin Templeton Corefolio Allocation Fund Franklin Templeton Perspectives Allocation Fund Franklin Templeton Founding Funds Allocation Fund The following summarizes the Funds' significant accounting policies. A. SECURITY VALUATION Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of trading of the NYSE. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at their closing net asset value each trading day. B. INCOME TAXES No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because it is each 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. The Funds have reviewed the tax positions, taken on federal income tax returns, for each of the three open tax years and as of December 31, 2009, and have determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements. 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. Estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and realized gain distributions by Underlying Funds are recorded on 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 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. 54 | Annual Report Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED) 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. The Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses from the Underlying Funds. Since the Underlying Funds have varied expense levels and the Funds may own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of expenses incurred indirectly by the Funds will vary. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, not including class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in per share distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. 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. REDEMPTION FEES A short term trading redemption fee was imposed, with some exceptions, on any fund shares that were redeemed or exchanged within seven calendar days following their purchase date. The redemption fee was 2% of the amount redeemed. Such fees were retained by the funds and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. Effective September 1, 2008, the redemption fee was eliminated. 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, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote. Annual Report | 55 Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2.

INVESTMENTS IN UNDERLYING FUNDS The Funds invest primarily in the Underlying Funds which are managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc. (Advisers), an affiliate of FT Services, or by an affiliate of Advisers. The Funds do not invest in the Underlying Funds for the purpose of exercising management or control. At December 31, 2009, the Funds held the following positions which exceed 5% of the Underlying Funds' shares outstanding: NAME OF ISSUER % OF SHARES HELD - -------------- ---------------- FRANKLIN TEMPLETON COREFOLIO ALLOCATION FUND Franklin Growth Fund ................................... 7.26% FRANKLIN TEMPLETON FOUNDING FUNDS ALLOCATION FUND Mutual Shares Fund ..................................... 17.93% Templeton Growth Fund Inc. ............................. 14.52% Franklin Income Fund ................................... 5.55% The Funds may invest in the Institutional Fiduciary Trust Money Market Portfolio (Sweep Money Fund), an open-end investment company managed by Advisers.

SPECIAL SERVICING AGREEMENT On May 1, 2009, the Funds entered into a Special Servicing Agreement (SSA) with the Underlying Funds and certain service providers of the Funds and of the Underlying Funds. Under the SSA, each Underlying Fund may pay a portion of the Funds' expenses (other than any asset allocation, administrative, and distribution fees) to the extent such payments are less than the amount of the benefits realized or expected to be realized by the Underlying Fund (e.g., due to reduced costs associated with servicing accounts) from the investment in the Underlying Funds by the Funds. The amount of expenses allocated during the year ended December 31, 2009 is noted in the Statements of Operations. 62| Annual Report Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 8. CREDIT FACILITY The Funds, together with other U.S. registered and foreign investment funds (collectively "Borrowers"), managed by Franklin Templeton Investments, are borrowers in a joint syndicated senior unsecured credit facility totaling $725 million (Global Credit Facility) to provide a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the ability to meet future unanticipated or unusually large redemption requests. Effective January 22, 2010, the funds renewed the Global Credit Facility, for a total of $750 million, maturing January 21, 2011. Under the terms of the Global Credit Facility, the Funds shall, in addition to interest charged on any borrowings made by the Funds and other costs incurred by the Funds, pay its share of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and maintenance of the Global Credit Facility, based upon its relative share of the aggregate net assets of all of the Borrowers, including an annual commitment fee of 0.10% based upon the unused portion of the Global Credit Facility, which is reflected in other expenses on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Funds did not utilize the Global Credit Facility. 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Trust follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Trust's own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy: - Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities - Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.) - Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. At December 31, 2009, all of the Funds' investments in Underlying Funds carried at fair value were in Level 1 inputs. For detailed Underlying Funds categories, see the accompanying Statements of Investments. Annual Report | 63 Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-6, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU No. 2010-6 enhances and clarifies existing fair value measurement disclosure requirements and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying the provisions of ASU No. 2010-6. 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through February 15, 2010, the issuance date of the financial statements and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure. 64 | Annual Report Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FRANKLIN TEMPLETON FUND ALLOCATOR SERIES In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Franklin Templeton Corefolio Allocation Fund, Franklin Templeton Founding Funds Allocation Fund and Franklin Templeton Perspectives Allocation Fund (separate portfolios of Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at December 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of investments in the Underlying Funds at December 31, 2009 by correspondence with the Transfer Agent of Underlying Funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

After several quarters of contraction, economic activity expanded in the third and fourth quarters. In the year's second half, corporate profit growth was higher than earlier estimates, which may allow businesses to build inventory following a long period of inventory drawdowns. Economic challenges remain, such as stalled consumer confidence and job prospects for the unemployed, as stimulus measures wind down, but several reports pointed to improving economic conditions. Throughout the year, the Federal Open Market Committee kept U.S. monetary policy unchanged, announcing it intends to hold the federal funds target rate in the 0% to 0.25% range "for an extended period" as it lays the groundwork for an eventual tightening of monetary policy. Late in the period, the labor market improved somewhat as the economy lost fewer jobs than expected and the unemployment rate fell slightly, dropping from a period high of 10.2% in October to 10.0% at period-end.(1) Globally, equity markets entered 2009 largely pricing in a possible economic depression and systemic solvency crisis, scenarios that were ultimately averted by one of the most aggressive global policy responses in financial history. As government monetary and fiscal intervention began to gain traction toward the end of the first quarter, equities bottomed and largely reversed their decline, economic growth stabilized and rebounded, and confidence was rekindled as investors began to believe the global financial system was finally on the mend. Emerging market economies fueled the global recovery as governments aggressively incentivized lending and consumption, resulting in a dramatic recovery that laid the groundwork for the developing world's equity rally. Growing demand from emerging markets supported commodity prices, which also posted record gains during the year. For most of the year, the fading U.S. dollar also helped underpin the rally in hard assets, while continued euro and yen strength created headwinds for regional recoveries. (1.)

TOP 10 FUND HOLDINGS Franklin Templeton 2015 Retirement Target Fund 12/31/09 % OF TOTAL NET ASSETS ---------- Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund - Advisor Class 16.8% Mutual Shares Fund - Class Z 11.1% Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund - Advisor Class 8.7% Templeton Global Bond Fund - Advisor Class 8.5% Mutual European Fund - Class Z 7.3% Franklin Total Return Fund - Advisor Class 6.8% Franklin Growth Opportunities Fund - Advisor Class 6.7% Templeton Foreign Fund - Advisor Class 6.4% Franklin Gold and Precious Metals Fund - Advisor Class 3.6% Templeton China World Fund - Advisor Class 3.5% INVESTMENT STRATEGY When selecting equity funds, we consider the underlying funds' foreign and domestic exposure, market capitalization ranges, and investment style (growth vs. value). When selecting fixed income funds, our primary focus is on maximizing income appropriate to the Fund's risk profile. In evaluating the risk level of the underlying funds, we analyze such factors as: (a) relative and absolute performance, including correlations with other underlying funds as well as corresponding benchmarks, and (b) their volatility (the variability of returns from one period to the next). We attempt to invest the assets of each Target Fund in the same underlying funds and will vary the underlying funds' allocation percentages based upon each Fund's risk/return level. We change the Fund's target asset allocation gradually over time, and it becomes increasingly conservative as the stated target date draws near. MANAGER'S DISCUSSION The Fund's performance can be attributed largely to its allocation among equities, fixed income securities, and short-term investments and other net assets, and to the actual performance of the selected underlying funds. This allocation shifts every year, in accordance with the retirement date associated with the portfolio. (1.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar. All Rights Reserved.

The S&P 500 consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. Each stock's weight in the index is proportionate to its market value. The S&P 500 is one of the most widely used benchmarks of U.S. equity performance. The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity market performance in global developed markets excluding the U.S. and Canada. The BC U.S. Aggregate Index is a market capitalization-weighted index representing the U.S. investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market with index components for government and corporate, mortgage pass-through and asset-backed securities. All issues included are SEC registered, taxable, dollar denominated and nonconvertible, must have at least one year to final maturity and must be rated investment grade (Baa3/BBB-/BBB- or higher) by Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch, respectively. The P&R 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index is a total return index based on a constant maturity instrument. Payden & Rygel includes both accrued interest and change in market price in its monthly total return calculations. The value of Treasuries, if held to maturity, is fixed; principal is guaranteed and interest is fixed. The indexes are unmanaged and include reinvestment of any income or distributions. One cannot invest directly in an index, and an index is not representative of the Fund's portfolio. 6 | Annual Report At period-end, Franklin Templeton 2015 Retirement Target Fund's domestic equity exposure was 68.7% of its total equity weighting, and foreign equity made up the balance. The portfolio was diversified across capitalization sizes and investment styles, and on December 31, 2009, we held shares in large-, mid- and small-capitalization equity funds, representing both growth and value styles. Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund - Advisor Class, at 16.8% of the Fund's total net assets, was our largest equity fund weighting at period-end. On the fixed income side, domestic exposure was 61.8% of the Fund's total fixed income weighting, with the balance in foreign fixed income. Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund - Advisor Class was our largest fixed income fund weighting at 8.7% of total net assets. Our largest domestic growth fund holding, Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund - Advisor Class, and our largest domestic value fund holding, Mutual Shares Fund - Class Z, outperformed the S&P 500. Our largest foreign equity holding, Mutual European Fund - Class Z, trailed the MSCI EAFE Index; however, Templeton Foreign Fund - Advisor Class outperformed. On the fixed income side, Templeton Global Bond Fund - Advisor Class outperformed the BC U.S. Aggregate Index, while Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund - Advisor Class underperformed.

GENERALLY, INVESTORS SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH FLUCTUATION IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENTS, ESPECIALLY OVER THE SHORT TERM. STOCKS HAVE HISTORICALLY OUTPERFORMED OTHER ASSET CLASSES OVER THE LONG TERM, BUT THEY TEND TO FLUCTUATE MORE DRAMATICALLY OVER THE SHORTER TERM. BOND PRICES GENERALLY MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF INTEREST RATES. THUS, AS PRICES OF BONDS IN THE FUND ADJUST TO A RISE IN INTEREST RATES, THE FUND'S SHARE PRICE MAY DECLINE. BECAUSE THE FUND INVESTS IN UNDERLYING FUNDS, WHICH MAY ENGAGE IN A VARIETY OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES INVOLVING CERTAIN RISKS, THE FUND MAY BE SUBJECT TO THOSE SAME RISKS. THESE RISKS ARE DESCRIBED IN THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS. CLASS C: These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares. CLASS R: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus. 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.) If the manager had not waived fees, 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. (4.) These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated. (5.) Figures are as stated in the Fund's prospectus current as of the date of this report. In periods of volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual Fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown. (6.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar.

All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses. The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. ACTUAL FUND EXPENSES The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual account values and expenses. The "Ending Account Value" is derived from the Fund's actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses. You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps. OF COURSE, YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND EXPENSES WILL DIFFER FROM THOSE IN THIS ILLUSTRATION: 1. Divide your account value by $1,000. IF AN ACCOUNT HAD AN $8,600 VALUE, THEN $8,600 / $1,000 = 8.6. 2. Multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period." IF EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD WERE $7.50, THEN 8.6 X $7.50 = $64.50. In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH OTHER FUNDS Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund's actual return. The figure under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. Annual Report | 13 Your Fund's Expenses (CONTINUED) PLEASE NOTE THAT EXPENSES SHOWN IN THE TABLE ARE MEANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONGOING COSTS AND DO NOT REFLECT ANY TRANSACTION COSTS, SUCH AS SALES CHARGES. Therefore, the second line for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your total costs would have been higher. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.

When selecting fixed income funds, our primary focus is on maximizing income appropriate to the Fund's risk profile. In evaluating the risk level of the underlying funds, we analyze such factors as: (a) relative and absolute performance, including correlations with other underlying funds as well as corresponding benchmarks, and (b) their volatility (the variability of returns from one period to the next). We attempt to invest the assets of each Target Fund in the same underlying funds and will vary the underlying funds' allocation percentages based upon each Fund's risk/return level. We change the Fund's target asset allocation gradually over time, and it becomes increasingly conservative as the stated target date draws near. MANAGER'S DISCUSSION The Fund's performance can be attributed largely to its allocation among equities, fixed income securities, and short-term investments and other net assets, and to the actual performance of the selected underlying funds. This allocation shifts every year, in accordance with the retirement date associated with the portfolio. (1.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar. All Rights Reserved.

The S&P 500 consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. Each stock's weight in the index is proportionate to its market value. The S&P 500 is one of the most widely used benchmarks of U.S. equity performance. The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity market performance in global developed markets excluding the U.S. and Canada. The BC U.S. Aggregate Index is a market capitalization-weighted index representing the U.S. investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market with index components for government and corporate, mortgage pass-through and asset-backed securities. All issues included are SEC registered, taxable, dollar denominated and nonconvertible, must have at least one year to final maturity and must be rated investment grade (Baa3/BBB-/BBB- or higher) by Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch, respectively. The P&R 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index is a total return index based on a constant maturity instrument. Payden & Rygel includes both accrued interest and change in market price in its monthly total return calculations. The value of Treasuries, if held to maturity, is fixed; principal is guaranteed and interest is fixed. The indexes are unmanaged and include reinvestment of any income or distributions. One cannot invest directly in an index, and an index is not representative of the Fund's portfolio. 16 | Annual Report At period-end, Franklin Templeton 2025 Retirement Target Fund's domestic equity exposure was 69.2% of its total equity weighting, and foreign equity made up the balance. The portfolio was diversified across capitalization sizes and investment styles, and on December 31, 2009, we held shares in large-, mid- and small-capitalization equity funds, representing both growth and value styles. Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund - Advisor Class, at 20.3% of the Fund's total net assets, was our largest equity fund weighting at period-end. On the fixed income side, domestic exposure was 62.4% of the Fund's total fixed income weighting, with the balance in foreign fixed income. Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund - Advisor Class was our largest fixed income fund weighting at 5.2% of total net assets. Our largest domestic growth fund holding, Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund -Advisor Class, and our largest domestic value fund holding, Mutual Shares Fund - Class Z, outperformed the S&P 500. Our largest foreign equity holding, Mutual European Fund - Class Z, trailed the MSCI EAFE Index; however, Templeton Foreign Fund - Advisor Class outperformed. On the fixed income side, Templeton Global Bond Fund - - Advisor Class outperformed the BC U.S. Aggregate Index while Franklin U.S. Government Securities Fund - Advisor Class underperformed.

GENERALLY, INVESTORS SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH FLUCTUATION IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENTS, ESPECIALLY OVER THE SHORT TERM. STOCKS HAVE HISTORICALLY OUTPERFORMED OTHER ASSET CLASSES OVER THE LONG TERM, BUT THEY TEND TO FLUCTUATE MORE DRAMATICALLY OVER THE SHORTER TERM. BOND PRICES GENERALLY MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF INTEREST RATES. THUS, AS PRICES OF BONDS IN THE FUND ADJUST TO A RISE IN INTEREST RATES, THE FUND'S SHARE PRICE MAY DECLINE. BECAUSE THE FUND INVESTS IN UNDERLYING FUNDS, WHICH MAY ENGAGE IN A VARIETY OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES INVOLVING CERTAIN RISKS, THE FUND MAY BE SUBJECT TO THOSE SAME RISKS. THESE RISKS ARE DESCRIBED IN THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS. CLASS C: These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares. CLASS R: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus. 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.) If the manager had not waived fees, 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. (4.) These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated. (5.) Figures are as stated in the Fund's prospectus current as of the date of this report. In times of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual Fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown. (6.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar.

All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses. The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. ACTUAL FUND EXPENSES The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual account values and expenses. The "Ending Account Value" is derived from the Fund's actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses. You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps. OF COURSE, YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND EXPENSES WILL DIFFER FROM THOSE IN THIS ILLUSTRATION: 1. Divide your account value by $1,000. IF AN ACCOUNT HAD AN $8,600 VALUE, THEN $8,600 / $1,000 = 8.6. 2. Multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period." IF EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD WERE $7.50, THEN 8.6 X $7.50 = $64.50. In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH OTHER FUNDS Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund's actual return. The figure under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. Annual Report | 23 Your Fund's Expenses (CONTINUED) PLEASE NOTE THAT EXPENSES SHOWN IN THE TABLE ARE MEANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONGOING COSTS AND DO NOT REFLECT ANY TRANSACTION COSTS, SUCH AS SALES CHARGES. Therefore, the second line for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your total costs would have been higher. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.

The S&P 500 consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. Each stock's weight in the index is proportionate to its market value. The S&P 500 is one of the most widely used benchmarks of U.S. equity performance. The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity market performance in global developed markets excluding the U.S. and Canada. The BC U.S. Aggregate Index is a market capitalization-weighted index representing the U.S. investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market with index components for government and corporate, mortgage pass-through and asset-backed securities. All issues included are SEC registered, taxable, dollar denominated and nonconvertible, must have at least one year to final maturity and must be rated investment grade (Baa3/BBB-/BBB- or higher) by Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch, respectively. The P&R 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index is a total return index based on a constant maturity instrument. Payden & Rygel includes both accrued interest and change in market price in its monthly total return calculations. The value of Treasuries, if held to maturity, is fixed; principal is guaranteed and interest is fixed. The indexes are unmanaged and include reinvestment of any income or distributions. One cannot invest directly in an index, and an index is not representative of the Fund's portfolio.

Annual Report | 25 TOP 10 FUND HOLDINGS Franklin Templeton 2035 Retirement Target Fund 12/31/09 % OF TOTAL NET ASSETS ---------- Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund - - Advisor Class 23.5% Mutual Shares Fund - Class Z 16.9% Mutual European Fund - Class Z 10.5% Franklin Growth Opportunities Fund - - Advisor Class 9.8% Templeton Foreign Fund - - Advisor Class 8.8% Franklin Gold and Precious Metals Fund - Advisor Class 5.4% Templeton China World Fund - - Advisor Class 4.8% Franklin Natural Resources Fund - - Advisor Class 4.4% Franklin MicroCap Value Fund - - Advisor Class 4.2% Franklin Small Cap Growth Fund - - Advisor Class 4.2% INVESTMENT STRATEGY When selecting equity funds, we consider the underlying funds' foreign and domestic exposure, market capitalization ranges, and investment style (growth vs. value). When selecting fixed income funds, our primary focus is on obtaining a maximum amount of current income. In evaluating the risk level of the underlying funds, we analyze such factors as: (a) relative and absolute performance, including correlations with other underlying funds as well as corresponding benchmarks, and (b) their volatility (the variability of returns from one period to the next). We attempt to invest the assets of each Target Fund in the same underlying funds and will vary the underlying funds' allocation percentages based upon each Fund's risk/return level. We change the Fund's target asset allocation gradually over time, and it becomes increasingly conservative as the stated target date draws near. MANAGER'S DISCUSSION The Fund's performance can be attributed largely to its allocation among equities, fixed income securities, and short-term investments and other net assets, and to the actual performance of the selected underlying funds. This allocation shifts every year, in accordance with the retirement date associated with the portfolio. At period-end, Franklin Templeton 2035 Retirement Target Fund's domestic equity exposure was 69.2% of its total equity weighting, and foreign equity made up the balance. The portfolio was diversified across capitalization sizes and investment styles, and on December 31, 2009, we held shares in large-, mid- and small-capitalization equity funds, representing both growth and value styles. Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund - Advisor Class, at 23.5% of the Fund's total net assets, was our largest equity fund weighting at period-end. On the fixed income side, domestic exposure was 60.5% of the Fund's total fixed income weighting. Our largest domestic growth fund holding, Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund -Advisor Class, and our largest domestic value fund holding, Mutual Shares Fund - Class Z, outperformed the S&P 500. Our largest foreign equity holding, Mutual European Fund - Class Z, trailed the MSCI EAFE Index; however, Templeton Foreign Fund - Advisor Class outperformed. 26 | Annual Report Thank you for your continued participation in Franklin Templeton 2035 Retirement Target Fund.

GENERALLY, INVESTORS SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH FLUCTUATION IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENTS, ESPECIALLY OVER THE SHORT TERM. STOCKS HAVE HISTORICALLY OUTPERFORMED OTHER ASSET CLASSES OVER THE LONG TERM, BUT THEY TEND TO FLUCTUATE MORE DRAMATICALLY OVER THE SHORTER TERM. BOND PRICES GENERALLY MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF INTEREST RATES. THUS, AS PRICES OF BONDS IN THE FUND ADJUST TO A RISE IN INTEREST RATES, THE FUND'S SHARE PRICE MAY DECLINE. BECAUSE THE FUND INVESTS IN UNDERLYING FUNDS, WHICH MAY ENGAGE IN A VARIETY OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES INVOLVING CERTAIN RISKS, THE FUND MAY BE SUBJECT TO THOSE SAME RISKS. THESE RISKS ARE DESCRIBED IN THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS. CLASS C: These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares. CLASS R: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus. 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.) If the manager had not waived fees, 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. (4.) These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated. (5.) Figures are as stated in the Fund's prospectus current as of the date of this report. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual Fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown. (6.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar.

All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses. The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. ACTUAL FUND EXPENSES The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual account values and expenses. The "Ending Account Value" is derived from the Fund's actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses. You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps. OF COURSE, YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND EXPENSES WILL DIFFER FROM THOSE IN THIS ILLUSTRATION: 1. Divide your account value by $1,000. IF AN ACCOUNT HAD AN $8,600 VALUE, THEN $8,600 / $1,000 = 8.6. 2. Multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period." IF EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD WERE $7.50, THEN 8.6 X $7.50 = $64.50. In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH OTHER FUNDS Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund's actual return. The figure under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. Annual Report | 33 Your Fund's Expenses (CONTINUED) PLEASE NOTE THAT EXPENSES SHOWN IN THE TABLE ARE MEANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONGOING COSTS AND DO NOT REFLECT ANY TRANSACTION COSTS, SUCH AS SALES CHARGES. Therefore, the second line for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your total costs would have been higher. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.

When selecting fixed income funds, our primary focus is on obtaining a maximum amount of current income. In evaluating the risk level of the underlying funds, we analyze such factors as: (a) relative and absolute performance, including correlations with other underlying funds as well as corresponding benchmarks, and (b) their volatility (the variability of returns from one period to the next). We attempt to invest the assets of each Target Fund in the same underlying funds and will vary the underlying funds' allocation percentages based upon each Fund's risk/return level. We change the Fund's target asset allocation gradually over time, and it becomes increasingly conservative as the stated target date draws near. MANAGER'S DISCUSSION The Fund's performance can be attributed largely to its allocation among equities, and short-term investments and other net assets, and to the actual performance of the selected underlying funds. This allocation shifts every year, in accordance with the retirement date associated with the portfolio. (1.) Source: (C) 2009 Morningstar. All Rights Reserved.

The S&P 500 consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. Each stock's weight in the index is proportionate to its market value. The S&P 500 is one of the most widely used benchmarks of U.S. equity performance. The MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity market performance in global developed markets excluding the U.S. and Canada. The BC U.S. Aggregate Index is a market capitalization-weighted index representing the U.S. investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market with index components for government and corporate, mortgage pass-through and asset-backed securities. All issues included are SEC registered, taxable, dollar denominated and nonconvertible, must have at least one year to final maturity and must be rated investment grade (Baa3/BBB-/BBB- or higher) by Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch, respectively. The P&R 90 Day U.S. T-Bill Index is a total return index based on a constant maturity instrument. Payden & Rygel includes both accrued interest and change in market price in its monthly total return calculations. The value of Treasuries, if held to maturity, is fixed; principal is guaranteed and interest is fixed. The indexes are unmanaged and include reinvestment of any income or distributions. One cannot invest directly in an index, and an index is not representative of the Fund's portfolio. 36 | Annual Report At period-end, Franklin Templeton 2045 Retirement Target Fund's domestic equity exposure was 68.9% of its total equity weighting, and foreign equity made up the balance. The portfolio was diversified across capitalization sizes and investment styles, and on December 31, 2009, we held shares in large-, mid- and small-capitalization equity funds, representing both growth and value styles. Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund - Advisor Class, at 24.1% of the Fund's total net assets, was our largest equity fund weighting at period-end. Our largest domestic growth fund holding, Franklin Flex Cap Growth Fund - Advisor Class, and our largest domestic value fund holding, Mutual Shares Fund - Class Z, outperformed the S&P 500. Our largest foreign equity holding, Mutual European Fund - Class Z, trailed the MSCI EAFE Index; however, Templeton Foreign Fund - Advisor Class outperformed. Thank you for your continued participation in Franklin Templeton 2045 Retirement Target Fund. We look forward to serving your future investment needs. (PHOTO OF T. ANTHONY COFFEY) /s/ T.

GENERALLY, INVESTORS SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH FLUCTUATION IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENTS, ESPECIALLY OVER THE SHORT TERM. STOCKS HAVE HISTORICALLY OUTPERFORMED OTHER ASSET CLASSES OVER THE LONG TERM, BUT THEY TEND TO FLUCTUATE MORE DRAMATICALLY OVER THE SHORTER TERM. BOND PRICES GENERALLY MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF INTEREST RATES. THUS, AS PRICES OF BONDS IN THE FUND ADJUST TO A RISE IN INTEREST RATES, THE FUND'S SHARE PRICE MAY DECLINE. BECAUSE THE FUND INVESTS IN UNDERLYING FUNDS, WHICH MAY ENGAGE IN A VARIETY OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES INVOLVING CERTAIN RISKS, THE FUND MAY BE SUBJECT TO THOSE SAME RISKS. THESE RISKS ARE DESCRIBED IN THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS. CLASS C: These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than Class A shares. CLASS R: Shares are available to certain eligible investors as described in the prospectus. 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.) If the manager had not waived fees, 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. (4.) These figures represent the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the periods indicated. (5.) Figures are as stated in the Fund's prospectus current as of the date of this report. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual Fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown. (6.) Source: (c) 2009 Morningstar.

All mutual funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses. The following table shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated. ACTUAL FUND EXPENSES The first line (Actual) for each share class listed in the table provides actual account values and expenses. The "Ending Account Value" is derived from the Fund's actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses. You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps. OF COURSE, YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE AND EXPENSES WILL DIFFER FROM THOSE IN THIS ILLUSTRATION: 1. Divide your account value by $1,000. IF AN ACCOUNT HAD AN $8,600 VALUE, THEN $8,600 / $1,000 = 8.6. 2. Multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period." IF EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD WERE $7.50, THEN 8.6 X $7.50 = $64.50. In this illustration, the estimated expenses paid this period are $64.50. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH OTHER FUNDS Information in the second line (Hypothetical) for each class in the table can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other mutual funds. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" is based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund's actual return. The figure under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" shows the hypothetical expenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. Annual Report | 43 Your Fund's Expenses (CONTINUED) PLEASE NOTE THAT EXPENSES SHOWN IN THE TABLE ARE MEANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONGOING COSTS AND DO NOT REFLECT ANY TRANSACTION COSTS, SUCH AS SALES CHARGES. Therefore, the second line for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your total costs would have been higher. Please refer to the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.

Annual Report | 69 Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end investment company, consisting of ten separate funds, four of which are included in this report (Funds). The financial statements of the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. The Funds invest primarily in Franklin Templeton mutual funds (Underlying Funds). The Funds offer four classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, 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 Funds' significant accounting policies. A. SECURITY VALUATION Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of trading of the NYSE. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at their closing net asset value each trading day. B. INCOME TAXES No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because it is each 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. The Funds have reviewed the tax positions, taken on federal income tax returns, for each of the three open tax years and as of December 31, 2009, and have determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements. 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. Estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and realized gain distributions by Underlying Funds are recorded on 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 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. 70 | Annual Report Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED) 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. The Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses from the Underlying Funds. Since the Underlying Funds have varied expense levels and the Funds may own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of expenses incurred indirectly by the Funds will vary. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, not including class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Differences in per share distributions, by class, are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. 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. REDEMPTION FEES A short term trading redemption fee was imposed, with some exceptions, on any fund shares that were redeemed or exchanged within seven calendar days following their purchase date. The redemption fee was 2% of the amount redeemed. Such fees were retained by the funds and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. Effective September 1, 2008, the redemption fee was eliminated. 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, on behalf of the Funds enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote. Annual Report | 71 Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST At December 31, 2009, there were an unlimited number of shares authorized (without par value).

INVESTMENTS IN UNDERLYING FUNDS The Funds invest primarily in the Underlying Funds which are managed by Advisers (or an affiliate of Advisers). The Funds do not invest in the Underlying Funds for the purpose of exercising management or control. At December 31, 2009, the Funds held no positions which exceed 5% of the Underlying Funds' shares outstanding. The Funds may invest in the Institutional Fiduciary Trust Money Market Portfolio (Sweep Money Fund), an open-end investment company managed by Advisers.

Effective January 22, 2010, the Funds renewed the Global Credit Facility, for a total of $750 million, maturing January 21, 2011. Under the terms of the Global Credit Facility, the Funds shall, in addition to interest charged on any borrowings made by the Funds and other costs incurred by the Funds, pay their share of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and maintenance of the Global Credit Facility, based upon their relative share of the aggregate net assets of all of the Borrowers, including an annual commitment fee of 0.10% based upon the unused portion of the Global Credit Facility, which is reflected in other expenses on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Funds did not utilize the Global Credit Facility. 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Trust follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Trust's own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy: - Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities - Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.) - Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. At December 31, 2009, all of the Funds' investments in Underlying Funds carried at fair value were in Level 1 inputs. For detailed Underlying Fund categories, see the accompanying Statements of Investments. 10.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through February 15, 2010, the issuance date of the financial statements and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure. 80 | Annual Report Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FRANKLIN TEMPLETON FUND ALLOCATOR SERIES In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Franklin Templeton 2015 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin Templeton 2025 Retirement Target Fund, Franklin Templeton 2035 Retirement Target Fund and Franklin Templeton 2045 Retirement Target Fund (separate portfolios of Franklin Templeton Fund Allocator Series, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at December 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of investment in the Underlying Funds at December 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the Underlying Funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
