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.

Because our management groups work independently and adhere to differentinvestment approaches, Franklin, Templeton and Mutual Series funds typicallyhave distinct portfolios. That’s why our funds can be used to build trulydiversified allocation plans covering every major asset class.

Persistently high inflation levels, however, led the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)to maintain a tightening monetary policy bias. From the low rates reachedduring the global financial crisis, the RBI has raised the repo rate, the interestrate at which banks borrow from the RBI, by 200 basis points (100 basis pointsequal one percentage point) to 6.75% at period-end. Despite the rising ratesand input costs, Indian companies managed the reporting period quite well,helped by continued demand for goods and services.

Along with those of other emerging markets, Indian stocks experienced a sell-off by foreign portfolio investors in the early part of 2011. Additionally,concerns about a series of graft allegations at the government and institutionallevels weighed on investor sentiment. Small- and mid-capitalization stocks suf-fered steeper losses than large-capitalization stocks. Real estate and capitalgoods stocks were the chief decliners, while technology and consumer staplesstocks registered gains. Overall, however, net foreign institutional inflows dur-ing the period under review totaled $5.4 billion.3

Despite some short-term economic concerns at period-end, India was still poisedfor longer term growth. A well-balanced growth model combined with a man-ageable fiscal deficit, a high savings rate and a large young population bode wellfor the economy. Structural growth drivers such as a rise in income levels andincreased government and corporate spending should support higher growth.The government’s continued focus on agricultural and rural sectors could helpdiversify India’s economic drivers and add to the economy’s ability to navigatethrough a global slowdown.

Investment Strategy

We are research-driven, fundamental investors pursuing a growth strategy. As bottom-up investors focusing primarily on individual securities, we seek toinvest in companies whose current market price, in our opinion, does not reflectfuture growth prospects. We choose companies that have identifiable driversof future earnings growth and that present, in our opinion, the best trade-offbetween earnings growth potential, business and financial risk, and valuation.We rely on a team of analysts to help provide in-depth industry expertise anduse both qualitative and quantitative analyses to evaluate companies for distinct and sustainable competitive advantages through leading-edge products,intellectual property, product positioning, unique market niches, brand iden-tity, solid management teams, strong balance sheets, above-average or risingmargins, and strong returns on capital invested in the business. In choosing

equity investments, we also consider such factors as the company’s financialstrength, management’s expertise, the company’s growth potential within theindustry, and the industry’s growth potential.

Manager’s Discussion

Our overall strategy has been to build a diversified portfolio of companiesthat cover the full market capitalization spectrum and that we think are wellpositioned to take advantage of Indian economic growth. In particular, webelieve companies that could benefit from structural growth drivers such asrising consumer spending and infrastructure investment may provide favor-able growth opportunities.

During the period under review, the Fund’s overall telecommunication servicesand information technology (IT) sectors benefited absolute performance.4 Somestocks in the telecommunication services sector rebounded from lows touchedearlier in 2010 resulting from concerns of increasing competitive intensity andregulatory pressures. Bharti Airtel, one of India’s largest telecommunicationcompanies, was among the chief contributors. The firm has maintained itsmarket share through challenging times and, in our view, is well positioned totake advantage of growth opportunities in the Indian market. We think its recentexpansion into Africa’s emerging telecommunications market further added toits growth potential. Another sizable holding, Tata Consultancy Services, oneof India’s largest IT services companies, also delivered strong performance overthe reporting period, aided by recovery in global IT spending.

Our share purchase in Coal India positively contributed to performance. Thecompany, India’s largest coal producer, completed its initial public offering inOctober 2010. Various drivers, such as rising consumption of coal, largereserves and a monopolistic position in a tight coal market should, in our view,help the company perform well.

In contrast, the Fund’s returns were hampered mainly by our financials andindustrials sector holdings.5 Rising inflation and subsequent interest rateincreases raised concerns about financials sector profitability, while a slow-down in capital spending hurt performance of industrials sector companies.On an individual stock basis, Reliance Industries was a major detractor fromFund performance. One of India’s biggest conglomerates, the company explores,

5. The financials sector comprises commercial banks and diversified financial services in the SOI. The industrials sector comprises construction and engineering, electrical equipment and machinery in the SOI.

Other key detractors included power equipment manufacturingcompany Crompton Greaves and construction and engineering company Larsen& Toubro. Notwithstanding their recent stock declines, we remained positiveon the medium- to long-term performance of these companies and continuedto hold these positions at period-end.

Endnotes

Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments. Investmentsin developing markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, in addition to risks associated with these companies’ smaller size,lesser liquidity and the potential lack of established legal, political, business and social frameworks to support securities markets in the coun-tries in which they operate. The Fund may also experience greater volatility than a fund that is more broadly diversified geographically. TheFund is designed for the aggressive portion of a well-diversified portfolio. The manager applies various techniques and analyses in makinginvestment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund’s prospectusalso includes a description of the main investment risks.

Class C: 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 and 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. Six-month return has notbeen annualized.

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

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

6. Figures are as stated in the Fund’s prospectus current as of the date of this report. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly,causing total annual Fund operating expenses to become higher than the figures shown.

Your Fund’s Expenses

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 otherFund 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 understandthese costs and compare them with those of other mutual funds. The table assumes a $1,000investment 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 andexpenses. The “Ending Account Value” is derived from the Fund’s actual return, which includesthe 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 compareongoing 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 andan assumed 5% annual rate of return before expenses, which does not represent the Fund’s actualreturn. The figure under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the hypotheticalexpenses your account would have incurred under this scenario. You can compare this figure withthe 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs and do not reflectany transaction costs, such as sales charges. Therefore, the second line for each class is useful incomparing 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 referto the Fund prospectus for additional information on operating expenses.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Franklin Templeton International Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Actof 1940, as amended, (1940 Act) as an open-end investment company, consisting of three separatefunds. The Franklin India Growth Fund (Fund) is included in this report. The financial statementsof the remaining funds in the Trust are presented separately. The Fund offers three classes ofshares: Class A, Class C, and Advisor Class. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load,contingent deferred sales charges, distribution fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single classand its exchange privilege.

The Fund operates using a “master fund/feeder fund” structure and invests indirectly in thesecurities of Indian companies through FT (Mauritius) Offshore Investments Limited (Portfolio),an entity registered with and regulated by the Mauritius Financial Services Commission, whichshares the same investment objective as the Fund. The accounting policies of the Portfolio,including the Portfolio’s security valuation policies, will directly affect the recorded value of the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including theStatement of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunc-tion with the Fund’s financial statements. At April 30, 2011, the Fund owned 100% of theoutstanding shares of the Portfolio.

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Fund’s investment in the Portfolio shares is valued at the Portfolio’s net asset value pershare. Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1(a) of the Portfolio’s Notesto Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.

b. Income and Deferred Taxes

It is the Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal RevenueCode. The Fund intends to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income andnet realized gains to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes. As a result, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required. The Fund files U.S. income tax returns as well as taxreturns in certain other jurisdictions. The Fund records a provision for taxes in its financialstatements including penalties and interest, if any, for a tax position taken on a tax return (orexpected to be taken) when it fails to meet the more likely than not (a greater than 50% proba-bility) threshold and based on the technical merits, the tax position may not be sustained uponexamination by the tax authorities. As of April 30, 2011, and for all open tax years, the Fundhas determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.Open tax years are those that remain subject to examination and are based on each tax jurisdic-tion statute of limitation.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

b. Income and Deferred Taxes (continued)

The Fund’s investment in the Portfolio may be subject to income and withholding taxes inMauritius and/or India which are discussed in Note 1(c) of the Portfolio’s Notes to FinancialStatements.

c. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Security transactions, including investments in the Portfolio, are accounted for on trade date.Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identificationbasis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded onthe ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and aredetermined according to income tax regulations (tax basis). Distributable earnings determined ona tax basis may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with accounting principles generallyaccepted 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. Thesereclassifications have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differencesare not reclassified, as they may reverse in subsequent periods.

Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the funds based on the ratio of netassets of each fund to the combined net assets of the Trust. Fund specific expenses are chargeddirectly to the fund that incurred the expense.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, not including class specificexpenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of netassets of each class. Differences in per share distributions, by class, are generally due to differ-ences in class specific expenses.

The Fund records its proportionate share of the Portfolio’s income, expenses and realized andunrealized gains and losses daily. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses.

d. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements andthe amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ fromthose estimates.

e. Guarantees and Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified by the Trustagainst certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally,in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts with serv-ice providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure underthese arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against theTrust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Investing in Indian equity securities through the Portfolio may include certain risks and consider-ations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as fluctuating currency values,less liquidity, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization, exchange control regulations(including currency blockage), differing legal standards and changing local and regional economic,political and social conditions, which may result in greater market volatility.

7. CREDIT FACILITY

The Fund, together with other U.S. registered and foreign investment funds (collectively,Borrowers), managed by Franklin Templeton Investments, are borrowers in a joint syndicatedsenior unsecured credit facility totaling $750 million (Global Credit Facility) which matures on January 20, 2012. This Global Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowersfor temporary and emergency purposes, including the ability to meet future unanticipated orunusually large redemption requests.

Under the terms of the Global Credit Facility, the Fund shall, in addition to interest charged onany borrowings made by the Fund and other costs incurred by the Fund, pay its share of feesand expenses incurred in connection with the implementation and maintenance of the GlobalCredit Facility, based upon its relative share of the aggregate net assets of all of the Borrowers,including an annual commitment fee of 0.08% based upon the unused portion of the GlobalCredit Facility, which is reflected in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During theperiod ended April 30, 2011, the Fund did not use the Global Credit Facility.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Fund follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained fromindependent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservableinputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and are sum-marized 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 associatedwith investing in those securities.

Under proce-dures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the Portfolio may utilize independent pricingservices, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

Equity securities listed on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valuedat the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Foreign equitysecurities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the secu-rity is primarily traded, or the NYSE, whichever is earlier. The value is then converted into itsU.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the daythat the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter securities are valued within therange of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market.Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships tosimilar securities.

The Portfolio follows the Fund’s procedures to determine the fair value of securities and otherfinancial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reli-ably priced. Under these procedures, the Portfolio primarily employs a market-based approachwhich may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples,book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of theinvestment. The Portfolio may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the antici-pated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts mayalso be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the invest-ments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values maydiffer significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

a. Financial Instrument Valuation (continued)

Trading in securities on foreign securities stock exchanges and over-the-counter markets may becompleted before the daily close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events occur betweenthe time at which trading in a foreign security is completed and the close of the NYSE that mightcall into question the reliability of the value of a portfolio security held by the Portfolio. As aresult, differences may arise between the value of the Portfolio’s portfolio securities as deter-mined at the foreign market close and the latest indications of value at the close of the NYSE. In order to minimize the potential for these differences, the investment manager monitors pricemovements following the close of trading in foreign stock markets through a series of countryspecific market proxies (such as baskets of American Depository Receipts, futures contracts andexchange traded funds). These price movements are measured against established trigger thresh-olds for each specific market proxy to assist in determining if an event has occurred that may callinto question the reliability of the values of the foreign securities held by the Portfolio. If such anevent occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the useof independent pricing services.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are trans-lated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on thedate of valuation. The Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitatetransactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, income andexpense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchangerate in effect on the transaction date. Portfolio securities and assets and liabilities denominatedin foreign currencies contain risks that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S.dollar. Occasionally, events may impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange ratesused to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchangerate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Fund’s Boardof Trustees.

The Portfolio does not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates fromchanges in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments on the Statement of Operations.

Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains orlosses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the differ-ence between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and theU.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchangegains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets andliabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period.

c. Income Taxes

The Portfolio conducts its investment activities in India as a tax resident of Mauritius and expectsto obtain benefits under the double taxation treaty between Mauritius and India (Treaty). Toobtain benefits under the Treaty, the Portfolio must meet certain tests and conditions, includingthe establishment of Mauritius tax residence and related requirements. The Portfolio has obtaineda certificate from the Mauritius tax authorities and believes that such certification is evidencethat it is a resident of Mauritius under the Treaty. A company which is a tax resident in Mauritiusunder the Treaty and has no branch or permanent establishment in India, will not be subject tocapital gains tax in India on the sale of Indian securities but is subject to Indian withholding taxon interest earned on Indian securities at the rate of 21.115% (which includes surcharges). Thereis no withholding tax in India in respect of dividends paid by Indian companies and such dividendsare exempt in the hands of the shareholders.

The Portfolio holds a Category 1 Global Business License for the purpose of the FinancialServices Act 2007 and under current laws and regulations, is subject to tax in Mauritius at therate of 15% on its net income. However, the Portfolio is entitled to a deemed tax credit equiva-lent to the higher of actual foreign tax suffered or a presumed foreign tax equivalent of 80% ofthe Mauritian tax on its foreign source income. Thus, the effective tax rate in Mauritius shouldnot exceed 3% (i.e. 15% less 80% of 15%). Indian companies making distributions are, how-ever, liable to a dividend distribution tax equivalent to 16.995% of the dividends distributed. Acompany holding at least 5% of the share capital of an Indian company and receiving dividendsfrom that Indian company may claim a credit for tax paid by the Indian company on its profitsout of which the dividends were distributed including the dividend distribution tax. No Mauritiancapital gains tax is payable on profits arising from sale of securities, and any dividends andredemption proceeds paid by the Portfolio to its shareholders will be exempt from withholdingor other tax.

The Portfolio continues to: (i) comply with the requirements of the Treaty; (ii) be a tax resident ofMauritius; and (iii) maintain that its central management and control resides in Mauritius, andtherefore management believes that the Portfolio will be able to obtain the benefits of the Treaty.Accordingly, no provision for Indian income taxes has been made in the accompanying financialstatements of the Portfolio for taxes related to capital gains or dividends.

The foregoing is based upon current interpretation and practice and is subject to future changesin Indian or Mauritian tax laws and in the Treaty.

d. Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on securitytransactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and estimatedexpenses are accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recognized as soon as the Portfolio is notified of the ex-dividend date.

e. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements andthe amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ fromthose estimates.

f. Guarantees and Indemnifications

Under the Portfolio’s organizational documents, the Portfolio’s officers and directors are indemni-fied by the Portfolio against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties tothe Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contractswith service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximumexposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may bemade against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Portfolio expects the riskof loss to be remote.

5. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Investing in Indian equity securities through the Portfolio may include certain risks and consider-ations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as fluctuating currency values,less liquidity, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization, exchange control regulations(including currency blockage), differing legal standards and changing local and regional economic,political and social conditions, which may result in greater market volatility.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Portfolio follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtainedfrom independent sources (observable inputs) and the Portfolio’s own market assumptions(unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s invest-ments 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 Portfolio’s own assumptions indetermining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associatedwith investing in those securities.

For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Portfolio adopted a policyof recognizing the transfers as of the date of the underlying event which caused the movement.

Board Review of Investment Management Agreement

At a meeting held April 19, 2011, the Board of Trustees (Board), including a majority of non-interested or independent Trustees, approved renewal of the investment management agreement foreach of the Funds within the Trust, including Franklin India Growth Fund (Fund(s)). In reachingthis decision, the Board took into account information furnished throughout the year at regularBoard meetings, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual renewalreview process. Information furnished and discussed throughout the year included investment per-formance reports and related financial information for each Fund, as well as periodic reports onexpenses, shareholder services, legal, compliance, pricing, brokerage commissions and executionand other services provided by the Investment Manager (Manager) and its affiliates. Informationfurnished specifically in connection with the renewal process included a report for each Fund pre-pared by Lipper, Inc. (Lipper), an independent organization, as well as additional material, includinga Fund profitability analysis prepared by management. The Lipper reports compared each Fund’sinvestment performance and expenses with those of other mutual funds deemed comparable to theFund as selected by Lipper. The Fund profitability analysis report discussed the profitability toFranklin Templeton Investments from its overall U.S. fund operations, as well as on an individualfund-by-fund basis. Additional material accompanying such profitability analysis included informa-tion on a fund-by-fund basis listing portfolio managers and other accounts they manage, as well asinformation on management fees charged by the Manager and its affiliates to U.S. mutual funds andother accounts, including management’s explanation of differences where relevant. Such materialalso included a memorandum prepared by management describing project initiatives and capitalinvestments relating to the services provided to the Funds by the Franklin Templeton Investmentsorganization, as well as a memorandum relating to economies of scale and a comparative analysisconcerning transfer agent fees charged each Fund.

In considering such materials, the independent Trustees received assistance and advice from andmet separately with independent counsel. While the investment management agreements for allFunds were considered at the same Board meeting, the Board dealt with each Fund separately. Inapproving continuance of the investment management agreement for each Fund, the Board, includ-ing a majority of independent Trustees, determined that the existing management fee structure wasfair and reasonable and that continuance of the investment management agreement was in the bestinterests of each Fund and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished,the following discusses some primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICE. The Board was satisfied with the nature andquality of the overall services provided by the Manager and its affiliates to the Fund and its share-holders. In addition to investment performance and expenses discussed later, the Board’s opinion wasbased, in part, upon periodic reports furnished it showing that the investment policies and restric-tions for the Fund were consistently complied with as well as other reports periodically furnished

the Board covering matters such as the compliance of portfolio managers and other managementpersonnel with the code of ethics adopted throughout the Franklin Templeton fund complex, theadherence to fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, and the accuracy of net assetvalue calculations. The Board also noted the extent of benefits provided Fund shareholders frombeing part of the Franklin Templeton family of funds, including the right to exchange investmentsbetween the same class of funds without a sales charge, the ability to reinvest Fund dividends intoother funds and the right to combine holdings in other funds to obtain a reduced sales charge.Favorable consideration was given to management’s continuous efforts and expenditures in estab-lishing back-up systems and recovery procedures to function in the event of a natural disaster, itbeing noted that such systems and procedures had functioned smoothly during the Florida hurri-canes and blackouts experienced in previous years. Among other factors taken into account by the Board were the Manager’s best execution trading policies, including a favorable report by anindependent portfolio trading analytical firm. Consideration was also given to the experience ofthe Fund’s portfolio management team, the number of accounts managed and general method ofcompensation. In this latter respect, the Board noted that a primary factor in management’s deter-mination of a portfolio manager’s bonus compensation was the relative investment performance of the funds he or she managed and that a portion of such bonus was required to be invested in apredesignated list of funds within such person’s fund management area so as to be aligned with theinterests of shareholders. The Board also took into account the quality of transfer agent and share-holder services provided Fund shareholders by an affiliate of the Manager and the continuousenhancements to the Franklin Templeton website. Particular attention was given to management’sconservative approach and diligent risk management procedures, including continuous monitoringof counterparty credit risk and attention given to derivatives and other complex instruments. TheBoard also took into account, among other things, management’s efforts in establishing a globalcredit facility for the benefit of the Fund and other accounts managed by Franklin TempletonInvestments to provide a source of cash for temporary and emergency purposes or to meet unusualredemption requests as well as the strong financial position of the Manager’s parent company andits commitment to the mutual fund business as evidenced by its subsidization of money market funds.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Fund in view of its importance to shareholders. While consideration was givento performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings throughout theyear, particular attention in assessing performance was given to the Lipper reports furnished for theagreement renewal. The Lipper reports prepared for the Fund showed the investment performanceof its Class A shares in comparison to a performance universe selected by Lipper. The performanceuniverse for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional emerging markets fundsas selected by Lipper. The Fund has been in operation for only three full annual periods. The Lipperreport comparison showed the Fund’s total return to be in the lowest quintile of such performance

Page 44: Franklin India Growth Fund · Despite some short-term economic concerns at period-end, India was still poised for longer term growth. A well-balanced growth model combined with a

42 | Semiannual Report

Franklin Templeton International TrustShareholder Information (continued)

Board Review of Investment Management Agreement (continued)

universe for the one-year period and to be in the second-highest quintile of such universe during eachof the previous two one-year periods. The Board noted the limitations of the Lipper comparativeperformance due to the inclusion in the performance universe of funds with no or limited invest-ments in India, and took into account information showing that the Fund’s one-year return hadoutperformed the MSCI India Index and was competitive with those of other India funds. Basedon such factors, the Board was satisfied with the Fund’s performance.

COMPARATIVE EXPENSES. Consideration was given to a comparative analysis of the manage-ment fee and total expense ratio of the Fund compared with those of a group of other funds selectedby Lipper as constituting its appropriate Lipper expense group. Lipper expense data is based uponinformation taken from each fund’s most recent annual report, which reflects historical asset levelsthat may be quite different from those currently existing, particularly in a period of market volatil-ity. While recognizing such inherent limitation and the fact that expense ratios generally increase asassets decline and decrease as assets grow, the Board believed the independent analysis conductedby Lipper to be an appropriate measure of comparative expenses. In reviewing comparative costs,Lipper provides information on each Fund’s contractual investment management fee in comparisonwith the investment management fee that would have been charged by other funds within its Lipperexpense group assuming they were similar in size to the Fund, as well as the actual total expenseratio of the Fund in comparison with those of its Lipper expense group. The Lipper contractualinvestment management fee analysis includes administrative charges as being part of the investmentmanagement fee, and actual total expenses, for comparative consistency, are shown by Lipper forFund Class A shares. The Lipper report showed the contractual investment management fee ratefor the Fund to be in the most expensive quintile of its Lipper expense group, but its actual totalexpense ratio to be below the median of such group. The Board was satisfied with such expenses,noting they were subsidized by management, but believed it appropriate to reduce the Fund’sinvestment management fee and negotiated with the Manager downward revisions of such fee asdiscussed under “Economies of Scale.”

MANAGEMENT PROFITABILITY. The Board also considered the level of profits realized bythe Manager and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Fund. In this respect, theBoard reviewed the Fund profitability analysis that addresses the overall profitability of FranklinTempleton’s U.S. fund business, as well as its profits in providing management and other servicesto each of the individual funds during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2010, being themost recent fiscal year-end for Franklin Resources, Inc., the Manager’s parent. In reviewing theanalysis, attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs to the Fund, it beingrecognized that allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation method-ologies may each be reasonable while producing different results. In this respect, the Board noted

Page 45: Franklin India Growth Fund · Despite some short-term economic concerns at period-end, India was still poised for longer term growth. A well-balanced growth model combined with a

Semiannual Report | 43

Franklin Templeton International TrustShareholder Information (continued)

Board Review of Investment Management Agreement (continued)

that, while being continuously refined and reflecting changes in the Manager’s own cost accounting,the allocation methodology was consistent with that followed in profitability report presentations forthe Fund made in prior years and that the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm hadbeen engaged by the Manager to review the reasonableness of the allocation methodologies solely foruse by the Fund’s Board in reference to the profitability analysis. In reviewing and discussing suchanalysis, management discussed with the Board its belief that costs incurred in establishing the infra-structure necessary for the type of mutual fund operations conducted by the Manager and its affiliatesmay not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to the Fund in determining its profitability, aswell as the fact that the level of profits, to a certain extent, reflected operational cost savings andefficiencies initiated by management. The Board also took into account management’s expendituresin improving shareholder services provided the Fund, as well as the need to meet additional reg-ulatory and compliance requirements resulting from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and recent SEC andother regulatory requirements. In addition, the Board considered a third-party study comparing theprofitability of the Manager’s parent on an overall basis to other publicly held managers brokendown to show profitability from management operations exclusive of distribution expenses, as wellas profitability including distribution expenses. The Board also considered the extent to which theManager and its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including revenuesgenerated from transfer agent services and potential benefits resulting from allocation of fund brokerage and the use of commission dollars to pay for research. Based upon its consideration of allthese factors, the Board determined that the level of profits realized by the Manager and its affiliatesfrom providing services to the Fund was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent ofservices provided.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Board also considered whether economies of scale are realized bythe Manager as the Fund grows larger and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of man-agement fees charged. While recognizing that any precise determination is inherently subjective,the Board noted that based upon the Fund profitability analysis, it appears that as some funds getlarger, at some point economies of scale do result in the Manager realizing a larger profit marginon management services provided such a fund. The Board also noted that economies of scale areshared with the Fund and its shareholders through management fee breakpoints so that as a fundgrows in size, its effective management fee rate declines. The asset level of the Fund was approxi-mately $108 million on December 31, 2010, and, while believing such size afforded no meaningfuleconomies of scale, the Board negotiated downward revisions in the Fund’s investment manage-ment fee schedule effective May 1, 2011, so as to be at the rate of 1.10% on the first $1 billion ofFund net assets; 1.05% on the next $4 billion of Fund net assets; 1.00% on the next $5 billion ofFund net assets; 0.95% on the next $5 billion of Fund net assets; 0.90% on the next $5 billion ofFund net assets; and 0.85% on net assets in excess of $20 billion.
