We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that the funds (see Attachment I), (hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“the Act”) as of September 30, 2010.  Management is responsible for the Funds' compliance with those requirements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the Funds' compliance based on our examination.

 

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Funds' compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of September 30, 2010 and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the periods indicated in Attachment I:

 

  • Without prior notice to management, confirmation of all securities held by Franklin Templeton Investors Services, Inc., transfer agent, as they pertain to the security positions owned by the Funds and held in book entry form.
  • Reconciliation of such security positions to the books and records of the Funds.
  • Agreement of 100 security purchases and 100 security sales, since our last report, from the books and records of the Funds to the records of the transfer agent.

 

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.  Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Funds' compliance with specified requirements.

 

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Funds were in compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of September 30, 2010 with respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds is fairly stated, in all material respects.

 

This report is intended solely for the information and use of, management, the Board of Trustees and Board of Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Management Statement Regarding Compliance With Certain

Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940

 

We, as members of management of the Franklin Templeton Funds indicated in Attachment I (the “Funds”), are responsible for complying with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2, “Custody of Investments by Registered Management Investment Companies,” of the Investment Company Act of 1940.  We are also responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over compliance with those requirements.  We have performed an evaluation of the Funds’ compliance with the requirements of subsection (b) of Rule 17f-2, as interpreted in Franklin Investors Securities Trust SEC No-Action Letter (publicly available September 24, 1992), and subsection (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as of September 30, 2010, and for the periods indicated in Attachment I.

 

Based on this evaluation, we assert that the Funds were in compliance with the requirements of subsection (b) of Rule 17f-2, as interpreted in Franklin Investors Securities Trust SEC No-Action Letter (publicly available September 24, 1992), and subsection (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as of September 30, 2010, and for the periods indicated in Attachment I, with respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds.
