ECONOMIC OVERVIEW


In the U.S.: Up, up and away?

A growing sense of nervousness from market participants and the Federal
Reserve Board (the Fed) shadowed the market's seemingly untethered rise, and
accompanying volatility, over the six-month period. The question on
everyone's mind: "How high can the market go?" The Dow Jones(R) Industrial
Average gained roughly 1200 points during the reporting period, pushing
through the 7000-point mark for the first time, in mid-February 1997. Strong
economic growth (first quarter GDP posted an annualized rate of 5.8%),
combined with the stock market's meteoric rise, prompted some degree of
caution on the part of the Fed. The chief topic on Wall Street was whether
the Federal Open Market Committee would increase the federal funds rate.

To no one's surprise, the Fed nudged the federal funds rate higher at its
March meeting, citing heightened inflation risk as the reason behind the
quarter-point increase. And while the market experienced a roughly 10%
correction, stock prices rebounded sharply by the end of the six months under
review, a move that could be viewed as encouraging.

The economy remains interest-rate sensitive, reacting quickly to any changes.
While expanding economic growth and increased interest rates went
hand-in-hand in the first quarter of 1997, the economy appears to be slowing
slightly, with interest rates trending downward by the end of the reporting
period.


And in the foreign markets...
Many European stocks also appreciated in value as companies there generated
healthy profits due to privatization, restructuring and cost-reduction
programs. Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain and Denmark were among the
region's best-performing equity markets. Although European equity markets
were strong, their fixed-income markets didn't fare as well. The U.S. dollar
rose against most foreign currencies, reducing returns for U.S. holders of
foreign bonds.

Emerging markets generally experienced substantial gains during the reporting
period, with Latin America, in particular, delivering stellar returns. For
example, Brazil's Bovespa Index soared 86% and Mexico's Bolsa Index surged
33%, as measured in U.S. dollars.1 Asian developing markets, however,
provided mixed results: The Hong Kong and Chinese markets rose, while those
in Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines declined.

Outlook for the Second Half
Interest rates will probably continue to fluctuate as the Fed looks for signs
of increasing inflationary pressures and other indicators to determine if
additional action is necessary. And while further Fed action could lead to
some volatility in the domestic markets, we have yet to see any major changes
in the economy. It is important to remember, however, that markets correct --
in our opinion, it is desirable for them to do so. The quarter-point increase
in the federal funds rate may be a precursor of one or two more adjustments
before the year ends. Large federal budget deficits are still too fresh in
investors' memories, and apparently much attention is directed toward keeping
the budget in close balance. We feel, therefore, that the economy should not
see much higher rates in the near term -- certainly not like those experienced
during 1994.

Note: The unit value is the total value of assets in the sub-account (which
is equal to the portfolio's net assets), minus the daily charges variable
account charges, with a charge or credit for reserved taxes, and then divided
by the total number of units.
The unit value does NOT include certain cost of insurance and deferred issue
charges (including sales charges) deducted from the Policy Account or from
premium payments; values would have been lower if these were included. These
charges and deductions can have a significant effect on policy account,
insurance benefit, and cash surrender values. See the policy prospectus
provided by the insurance company for a complete description of these
charges, including applicable sales charges.
Investment returns and the value of your principal will vary with market
conditions, so you may have a gain or loss when you sell your units. Past
performance cannot guarantee future results.


PORTFOLIO OBJECTIVES AND RISKS

A Word About Risk

All of the portfolios are subject to certain risks. Generally, investments
offering the potential for higher returns are accompanied by a higher degree
of risk. Stocks, and other equities representing an ownership interest in a
corporation, have historically outperformed other asset classes over the long
term, but tend to fluctuate more dramatically over the shorter term. Bonds
and other debt obligations are affected by changes in interest rates and the
creditworthiness of their issuers. High yield, lower-rated ("junk") bonds
generally have greater price swings and higher default risks. Foreign
investing, especially in developing countries, has additional risks such as
changes in currency values, market price swings, and political or social
instability. These and other risks to which particular portfolios may be
subject -- such as specialized industry sectors or use of complex securities --
are discussed in the prospectus.

Portfolio             Description
Templeton Developing  Seeks long-term capital appreciation. The portfolio seeks to
Markets Equity Fund   achieve this objective by investing primarily in equity
                      securities of issuers in countries having developing markets
                      operating under normal market conditions. The portfolio is
                      subject to special and higher risks related to foreign
                      developing markets, including changes in currency values,
                      market price swings, and economic, social, and political
                      developments in the countries where the portfolio is invested
                      and the relatively smaller size and lesser liquidity of those
                      markets.

Templeton Global      Seeks long-term capital growth; any income realized will be
Growth Fund           incidental. The portfolio seeks to achieve its objective
                      through a flexible policy of investing in stocks and debt
                      obligations of companies and governments of any nation,
                      including developing markets operating under normal market
                      conditions. Investments in foreign securities involve special
                      risks including changes in currency values, market price
                      swings, and economic, social, and political developments in
                      the countries where the portfolio is invested. Developing
                      markets involve similar but higher risks related to the
                      smaller size and lesser liquidity of those markets.

Templeton             Seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal market
International Equity  conditions, the portfolio will invest at least 65% of its
Fund                  total assets in an internationally diversified portfolio of
                      equity securities. These equity securities will trade on
                      markets in countries other than the U.S., including developing
                      markets, and be issued by companies domiciled in countries
                      other than the U.S., or companies that derive at least 50% of
                      either their revenues or pre-tax income from activities
                      outside the U.S. Investments in foreign securities involve
                      special risks including changes in currency values, market
                      price swings, and economic, social, and political developments
                      in the countries where the portfolio is invested. Developing
                      markets involve similar but higher risks related to the
                      smaller size and lesser liquidity of those markets.

Smaller Companies     securities of smaller companies outside the U.S., including
Fund                  developing markets operating under normal market conditions.
                      Investments in foreign securities involve special risks
                      including changes in currency values, market price swings, and
                      economic, social, and political developments in the countries
                      where the portfolio is invested. Developing markets involve
                      similar but higher risks related to the smaller size and
                      lesser liquidity of those markets. Small company securities
                      may have greater price swings than mid-sized or larger company
                      securities.

Templeton Pacific     Seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal conditions, the
Growth Fund           portfolio will invest at least 65% of its assets in equity
                      securities which trade on markets in the Pacific Rim,
                      including developing markets, and which are issued by
                      companies domiciled in the Pacific Rim or companies that
                      derived at least 50% of either their revenues or pre-tax
                      income from activities in the Pacific Rim. For purposes of the
                      portfolio's 65% investment policy, the countries in the
                      Pacific Rim include Australia, China, Hong Kong, India,
                      Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, the
                      Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. The portfolio invests
                      primarily in a single geographical region of largely
                      developing foreign markets and could experience significant
                      changes in share price in any given year.

Portfolios Seeking Growth and Income

Portfolio             Description
Growth and Income     Seeks capital appreciation. The portfolio's secondary
Fund                  objective is to provide current income return. The portfolio
                      pursues capital appreciation by investing primarily in
                      domestic common stocks, securities convertible into common
                      stocks and preferred stocks.

Income Securities     Seeks to maximize income while maintaining prospects for
Fund                  capital appreciation. The portfolio will pursue its objective
                      by investing in a diversified portfolio of domestic and
                      foreign (including developing markets) debt obligations, which
                      may include high yield, high risk, lower-rated bonds, as well
                      as equity securities, selected with particular consideration
                      of current income production along with capital appreciation.
                      Lower-rated and similar non-rated securities, commonly known
                      as "junk bonds," have higher credit risks and may have greater
                      price movements. Foreign securities involve special risks,
                      including currency fluctuations and political uncertainty;
                      developing markets involve higher risks.

Mutual Shares         Seeks capital appreciation with income as a secondary
Securities Fund       objective by investing in U.S. and foreign equity securities,
                      including common and preferred stocks and securities
                      convertible into common stocks, as well as debt obligations of
                      any quality. The portfolio also seeks to invest in securities
                      of domestic and foreign companies involved in mergers,
                      consolidations, liquidations and reorganizations or as to
                      which there exist tender or exchange offers, and may
                      participate in such transactions.

Real Estate           Seeks capital appreciation, with a secondary objective of
Securities Fund       earning current income on its investments. The portfolio
                      pursues its principal objective by concentrating in securities
                      of companies in the real estate industry, primarily equity
                      real estate investment trusts (REITs). By investing primarily
                      in a single industry, the portfolio will be affected more by
                      the unfavorable developments or market downturns in that
                      industry sector than would a portfolio that invests in a wide
                      variety of industries.

Rising Dividends Fund Seeks capital appreciation and current income incidental to
                      capital appreciation. In seeking capital appreciation, the
                      portfolio invests with a long-term investment horizon.
                      Preservation of capital, while not an objective, is also an
                      important consideration. The portfolio seeks to achieve its
                      investment objectives by investing, as a fundamental policy,
                      at least 65% of its net assets in financially sound companies
                      that have paid consistently rising dividends based on the
                      investment philosophy that the securities of such companies,
                      because of their dividend record, have a strong potential to
                      increase in value.

Portfolios Seeking Growth and Income (cont.)

Portfolio             Description

Templeton Global      Seeks a high level of total return through a flexible policy
Asset Allocation Fund of investing in the following market segments: equity
                      securities of issuers of any nation, debt obligations of
                      companies and governments of any nation, and money market
                      instruments. The mix of investments among these three market
                      segments will be adjusted in an attempt to capitalize on total
                      return potential produced by changing economic conditions
                      throughout the world. Investments in foreign securities
                      involve special risks including changes in currency values,
                      market price swings, and economic, social, and political
                      developments in the countries where the portfolio is invested.
                      Developing markets involve similar but higher risks related to
                      the smaller size and lesser liquidity of those markets.

Utility Equity Fund   Seeks both capital appreciation and current income by
                      concentrating investments in the securities of companies in
                      the public utilities industry. The portfolio pursues its
                      objective by investing, under normal conditions, at least 65%
                      of the portfolio's total assets in securities of issuers
                      engaged in the public utilities industry, which includes the
                      manufacture, production, generation, transmission and sale of
                      gas and electric energy and water. Assets may also be invested
                      in issuers engaged in the communications field, including
                      entities such as telephone, telegraph, satellite, microwave
                      and other companies providing communication facilities for the
                      public benefit. The portfolio may also invest in foreign
                      securities, which involve special risk considerations,
                      including currency fluctuations and political uncertainty;
                      developing markets involve heightened risks. Because the
                      portfolio may invest in relatively few issuers, changes in the
                      value of a particular issuer, interest rate movements, changes
                      in currency values and other risks of foreign investing may
                      have a greater effect on the portfolio's results.

Portfolios Seeking Current Income

Portfolio             Description

High Income Fund      Seeks a high level of current return. As a secondary
                      objective, the portfolio seeks capital appreciation to the
                      extent consistent with its principal objective. The portfolio
                      may invest in both debt obligations and dividend-paying common
                      or preferred stocks, including high risk securities, and will
                      seek to invest in whatever type of investment is offering the
                      highest yield and expected total return without excessive risk
                      at the time of purchase. Lower-rated and similar non-rated
                      securities, commonly known as "junk bonds," have higher credit
                      risks and may have greater price movements.

Templeton Global      Seeks high current income, consistent with preservation of
Income Securities     capital, with capital appreciation as a secondary
Fund                  consideration. The portfolio will pursue its objectives by
                      investing at least 65% of its net assets in both domestic and
                      foreign debt obligations including those in developing markets
                      and related foreign currency transactions. The portfolio may
                      invest in relatively few issuers; therefore, changes in the
                      value of a particular issuer, interest rate movements, changes
                      in currency values and other special risks of foreign
                      investment may have a greater effect on the portfolio's
                      results.

U.S. Government       Seeks to earn income through investments in a portfolio
Securities Fund       limited to securities which are obligations of the U.S.
                      government, its agencies or instrumentalities. These
                      obligations may include fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage
                      backed securities. Individual securities, but not shares of
                      the portfolio, are guaranteed by the U.S. government as to
                      timely payment of principal and interest.

Three Zero Coupon     Seek to provide as high an investment return as is consistent
Funds2005, 2010)      (maturity dates: 2000 with the preservation of capital. Each
                      portfolio seeks to return a reasonably assured targeted dollar
                      amount, predictable at the time of investment, on a specific
                      target date in the future by investing primarily in zero
                      coupon securities that pay no cash income but are acquired by
                      the portfolio at substantial discounts from their value at
                      maturity. In response to interest rate changes, zero coupon
                      securities may experience greater changes in market value than
                      interest- paying securities of similar maturity. The
                      portfolios may not be appropriate for short-term investors or
                      those who intend to withdraw money before the maturity date.

Portfolio Seeking Preservation of Capital and Income

Portfolio             Description

Money Market Fund     Seeks to obtain as high a level of current income (in the
                      context of the type of investment available to the portfolio)
                      consistent with capital preservation and liquidity. An
                      investment is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
                      government. The portfolio will seek to maintain a $1 per share
                      net asset value, but there is no guarantee that it will be
                      successful in doing so.


</TABLE>
PORTFOLIO SUMMARIES


Portfolios Seeking Capital Growth

Capital Growth Fund

Volatility returned to the domestic equity markets in 1997, with the Standard &
Poor's(R) 500 (S&P 500(R)) index experiencing moves of 1% or more -- up and down
- -- throughout approximately two-thirds of the trading days in the first half of
the year. While such volatility may cause consternation among investors, to us
it presents opportunities to buy securities of good companies that are currently
out of favor. During times like these, many portfolio managers feel compelled to
take some course of action, increasing portfolio turnover and further
contributing to exaggerated stock price movements. Sometimes, we believe the
best course of action during periods of volatility is to just sit tight with
one's investments.

It was with this low turnover philosophy that the Capital Growth Fund
portfolio was originally created -- to try to identify what we believe are
solid companies with promising growth prospects, and buy and hold them for
the long term. The portfolio consists of what we consider good quality growth
companies, generally large-cap and mid-cap (greater than $1 billion) stocks.
Our aim is not to achieve wealth overnight, but rather provide investors with
the potential for consistent growth over time.

On June 30, 1997, the portfolio held stocks of 79 companies across a diverse
group of industries, including software, finance, energy, data networking,
healthcare, semiconductors, and consumer products, to name a few. Such broad
diversity can help to mitigate the fluctuations attendant with the stock
market's volatility.

Our expectation is that the market will continue to experience greater
volatility in the coming years versus the reduced volatility over the last
several years. In part, this is due to concerns for sustained earnings growth
of individual companies. It is our belief that the S&P 500 will not produce
double-digit earnings growth again this year or next. In such an environment
of slowing corporate profit growth, solid stable growth companies -- such as
those your portfolio seeks to invest in -- are sought by investors. As growth
warrants a premium in the market due to its scarcity, investors tend to push
the prices of such growth stocks higher -- a condition which we believe should
benefit many of your portfolio holdings.

Mutual Discovery Securities Fund

The Mutual Discovery Securities Fund seeks capital appreciation, with income
as a secondary objective, by investing in domestic and foreign equity
securities. These include common and preferred stocks, securities convertible
into common stocks, as well as debt obligations of any quality. On June 30,
1997, 70.4% of the portfolio's assets were invested in equity securities,
2.3% in fixed-income securities, and the remaining 27.3% in short-term and
other securities. Of course, these holdings will change as conditions warrant.

When an index such as the S&P 500 is up 20.06% in the first six months of
1997, some might ask, "why not just throw in the towel and own an index
fund?" The answer is basic: We believe that our value approach is the best
way to achieve consistent, long-term appreciation with low risk and low
volatility. The mix of our businesses -- cheap stocks, "special situations"
such as mergers and spinoffs, and bankruptcies -- is intended to provide the
best risk-adjusted returns in a wide variety of market conditions.

Our most recent efforts to find value in these markets included buying stakes
in a number of energy companies, including in the oil service business and on
the exploration and production side. We also found good value in selected
healthcare names, some of which have come down in price due to short-term
dislocations. Strong merger and acquisition activity is also providing some
good investment opportunities. Many foreign stocks are still attractive to
us, and though the larger capitalization names are generally less compelling
than they were a year or two ago, we believe opportunities in the smaller
capitalization companies are still plentiful.

Natural Resources Securities Fund(formerly Precious Metals Fund)

On May 1, 1997, the Precious Metals Fund's investment objective changed,
broadening its industry concentration policy to companies in natural
resources industries -- thereby creating the Natural Resources Securities
Fund. The portfolio seeks capital appreciation, with current income as a
secondary objective, by now investing in the equity securities of domestic
and foreign companies in or related to the natural resources sector.

On June 30, 1997, 93.7% of the portfolio's total net assets were invested in
equity securities, 1.3% in convertible corporate bonds, and 5.0% in
short-term and other assets. Companies in the gold and precious metals sector
remain our largest weighting at 59.1%, down from 79.5% on May 1, 1997. In
accordance with the portfolio's new objective, we continue to selectively
reallocate assets to various other natural resources sectors, including
energy, base metals, paper & forest products, steel, and chemicals.

GRAPHIC MATERIAL 1 OMITTED - SEE APPENDIX AT END OF DOCUMENT

New positions in the energy sector include exploration and production
companies with the potential for above-average growth in reserves and
production. Barrett Resources, Newfield Exploration and Nuevo Energy were
among this sector's companies where we found good investment opportunities.
Additionally, we found oilfield services and equipment companies that have
benefited from current strong demand and high utilization rates, including
newly purchased Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. and Transocean Offshore, Inc.
- -- two leading offshore drilling rig operators globally. Strong growth in
worldwide hydrocarbon demand combined with modest supply provides a positive
outlook for energy fundamentals over the next several years.

The price of gold bullion declined further during the reporting period,
dropping below $340 per ounce -- negatively impacting the portfolio's holdings
in the precious metals sector. In spite of positive physical demand, the
continued Central Bank selling, strong equity markets and an overall lack of
inflation adversely affected investor sentiment. Short-side and aggressive
options selling also combined to further depress the gold price. On a
protracted basis, we view the resilient physical demand (especially from
developing countries) and long-term supply consistency as attractive and,
therefore, remain optimistic that gold should appreciate in value.

Looking forward, we continue to focus on highly profitable companies with
skilled management, strong growth profiles and solid financials. We will look
for companies that should prosper throughout economic cycles, and thus
identify those companies we believe have sustainable advantages either
through strategic asset bases or technological expertise.

Small Cap Fund
The six-month period under review proved to be favorable for equity
investors, although larger capitalization stocks outperformed their small cap
counterparts. In part due to concerns about market volatility, the Franklin
Small Cap Fund portfolio underperformed during the first quarter of 1997
before turning in strong results in the second quarter. Our second quarter
performance was spurred by the continued strength of the U.S. economy,
coupled with lack of inflationary pressure. These economic conditions helped
prevent a meaningful rise in interest rates and provided a favorable backdrop
for equity markets in general.

During the period, we looked for small companies in their emerging growth
phase, focusing on those corporations we believe have an identifiable and
sustainable competitive advantage. Such an advantage often leads to superior
revenue and earnings growth. Our research uncovered attractive investments in
a variety of industries, and the portfolio's performance was aided by our
holdings in the energy, technology and healthcare sectors.

We remain bullish on the prospects for the energy sector, which benefited
from a favorable supply-and-demand relationship. In the second quarter of
this year, we added to several of our positions in this sector, including
Varco International, Inc., a leading maker of drilling equipment. The
technology sector experienced volatility throughout most of the reporting
period, and we took advantage of this to selectively initiate several new
positions and add to several existing names. Among the new positions in the
portfolio is Electronic Arts Inc., a leading developer of entertainment
software.

We remain optimistic about the prospects for small cap stocks, despite the
recent large cap bias of the market. In our opinion, small cap stocks are
attractively valued relative to the overall market, and the growing economy
and apparent lack of inflationary pressure should create an environment
conducive to the prosperity of small cap companies.

Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund

On June 30, 1997, the portfolio was invested in 414 individual emerging
market equity securities, among 32 industry sectors and 23 countries, with
Brazil as the largest country holding (12.2% of total net assets), followed
by Mexico (11.3%) and Argentina (8.2%). We think the current geographic
breadth of the portfolio helps minimize risk, thereby reducing the volatility
of the returns on the portfolio while still maintaining the prospects for
strong performance.

The first six months of 1997 saw substantial gains in developing market
equity prices, underpinned by strong economic fundamentals and high capital
inflows from developed market countries. As in 1996, the Latin America region
was the star performer this reporting period. A combination of improved
macroeconomic management, cyclical economic recovery and an improved export
position drove equity prices higher throughout the region, particularly in
Brazil -- which realized unrelenting gains. The Asian region experienced mixed
performance during the six-month period, with many countries suffering from
oversupply in key sectors and a cyclical decline in exports. Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore and Thailand were among the hardest hit.

Looking forward, we believe that Asia's exports are likely to recover over
the remainder of the year and into 1998, driven primarily by increased demand
from the U.S. and Europe. A significant rebound in Asian exports would help
economies grow faster and bolster some of the more moribund stock markets in
that region, particularly South Korea and Thailand. We already detect signs
of a cyclical recovery in Asia's export market.

World demand for emerging market securities is its strongest since the 1960s,
and inventory levels in the U.S. and other countries are low in general. This
should benefit exporters in Latin America and Europe as well as Asia. Despite
positive growth in the first half of 1997, we believe developing markets as a
whole still represent good value.

Templeton Global Growth Fund

Volatility and uncertainty were key factors in the world's financial markets
for the first six months of 1997. The U.S. equity market started the year at
an all-time high, and continued, although the trend was not smooth. In North
America -- and the U.S., in particular -- strong economic growth with
surprisingly modest inflation confounded experts, and the ebb and flow of
interest rates reintroduced volatility in the markets. Stock valuations --
whether price/book or price/earnings -- stretched relative to five- and
ten-year averages and, in some cases, are at unprecedented levels. As
valuations rose for many U.S. stocks, we sold or trimmed some of our holdings
in this region. Among those we reduced or sold were Lucent Technologies,
Highwood Properties, Inc., and IBM.

Because we found what we consider new bargains and opportunities, Europe
remained a significant geographic weighting for us (34.0% of total net
assets). During the six months under review, many European companies
generated strong profits due to privatization, restructuring, and
cost-reduction programs. Most stock markets rose as government efforts to
meet standards for membership in the European Monetary Union (EMU) led to
improved fiscal and monetary policies and lower interest rates. The results
of the French election introduced a new element of uncertainty over the EMU,
where privatization and corporate rationalization could become more difficult
under a socialist government. Nonetheless, careful stock picking and analysis
of companies during times of macro-economic confusion has rewarded our
investors in the past, though past performance cannot guarantee future
results.

The U.K. in particular appeared to swallow the tough medicine of reforming
its labor markets, deregulating its financial markets, and privatizing
state-owned enterprises. As a result, we analyzed an increasing number of
British companies, primarily because of valuations and -- secondarily --
because we think long-term managements there seemingly have to overcome fewer
hurdles to deliver value.

The picture in our emerging markets exposure was mixed. Latin America
rebounded sharply in 1997, with Brazil and Argentina posting phenomenal
performances (52.6% and 26.4% six-month total returns, respectively). On the
other hand, economic deterioration and political turmoil detrimentally
affected Asia's share prices. Regardless, we believe that opportunities are
born out of adversity, and we search diligently for overlooked opportunities
in South Korea, Thailand and China.

Japan, Asia's largest developed market, experienced mixed performance so far
in 1997. We have redoubled our efforts to ensure that we will be in a
position to act when valuations drop to a level where more Japanese companies
qualify as bargains under our criteria.

Templeton International Equity Fund
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the strength of the portfolio's
emerging markets holdings as well as good stock selection bolstered our
overall performance. At period end, the portfolio's largest country
allocations were the U.K. (14.1% of total net assets), Sweden (9.3%), and
Netherlands (7.8%). We allowed our cash position to rise somewhat (from 12%
to 15.1%) to be prepared for any future market weakness.

After several years of underperfomance, the world's developing markets have
rebounded and we were able to uncover many bargain-priced securities in these
areas, most notably in Latin American countries, where we think fundamentals
improved as these nations adapt to capitalist economies. Our Brazilian
holdings -- including telephone company Telebras, steelmaker Companhia
Siderurgica Nacional, ADR (CSN) and banking giant Bradesco -- performed well.

Our European stock holdings also aided the portfolio's performance in early
1997. Sweden, Finland, Italy and Spain turned in particularly good
performances, but the strength of the U.S. dollar somewhat reduced those
gains. Additionally, Eastern European markets soared in early 1997, but due
to the relatively small size of these markets and -- in some cases --
regulatory and operational impediments, it was difficult for the portfolio to
gain access. Our large exposure to cyclical securities also provided good
results as investors focused on the possibility of a cyclical upturn in the
European economy. The portfolio's largest holding -- Philips Electronics
(Netherlands/3.0% of total net assets) -- advanced strongly in the first six
months of 1997 after its new management strategy to maximize share value
raised investor interest.

We believe that the long-term prospects for emerging market companies remain
exceptionally bright, based on the continued rapid development of their own
economies as well as the benefits these countries should realize from an
eventual upturn in the developed world's economic activity level.

Templeton International Smaller Companies Fund
Throughout the six-month reporting period, the portfolio, using a disciplined
focus on long-term value, continued in its endeavor to purchase the shares of
undervalued small-cap companies outside the U.S. On June 30, 1997, the
portfolio had $29 million in assets under management and was invested in 31
countries. The largest positions by geographic area were Europe (34.0% of
total net assets), Asia (19.7%), and Latin America (5.4%). By country, the
largest positions were Hong Kong (10.3%), United Kingdom (8.1%), Netherlands
(6.6%), Spain (4.8%), and Sweden (3.9%).

European stock markets moved sharply higher, propelled by excitement over
monetary union, lower interest rates, and moderate economic expansion. In
Asia, Hong Kong's stock exchange rose more than 20% in the time leading up to
the colony's reversion to China.

GRAPHIC MATERIAL 5 OMITTED - SEE APPENDIX AT END OF DOCUMENT

Currently, worldwide financial valuations are at historically high levels,
reflecting continued investor optimism over future corporate profitability
and strong cash inflows. While identifying investment bargains in this
environment is a challenge, we are confident that our disciplined approach to
finding undervalued small-cap stocks can reward long-term investors.

Templeton Pacific Growth Fund

On June 30, 1997, the fund's top five geographic allocations were Hong Kong
(25.8% of total net assets), Japan (18.6%), Singapore (12.5%), Australia
(10.7%), and Malaysia (8.6%).

A recovery in Hong Kong's retail and property sectors helped buoy its stock
market, and the portfolio benefited from the rising share prices of Cheung
Kong Holdings Ltd. and Hon Kwok Land Investment Co. Ltd., two companies with
real estate holdings in Hong Kong.

Japan's economy continued to falter as its banking system faced huge amounts
of uncollectable loans secured by land or stock worth less than the amount of
the loans. Although our holdings of Sony Corp. performed well, the yen's
decline during the period adversely affected the portfolio.

Indonesia, plagued by political problems that led to rioting in Jakarta,
experienced severe stock market volatility, and we took this opportunity to
purchase shares of PT Bank Bali and PT Panin Bank, two financial institutions
that we believe have growth potential. Seeking to capitalize on volatility in
stock markets of Thailand and India, we purchased shares of Thai Farmers Bank
Public Co. Ltd. and Bangkok Bank Public Co. Ltd., and initiated a position in
Industrial Credit & Investment Corp. of India.

In our opinion, the Pacific Rim continues to offer a variety of investment
opportunities in industrialized nations such as Hong Kong, and in nations
rich with natural resources.

Portfolios Seeking Growth and Income

Growth and Income Fund
The strategy of the Growth and Income Fund portfolio is to buy corporate
stocks that are selling at attractive prices according to valuation
parameters such as dividend yield, book value, cash earnings, and revenues.
This strategy generally entails investing at times when a company or sector
is out of favor due to depressed fundamentals or market uncertainty about
future prospects. In our opinion, utility stocks, especially electric
companies, represent such an investment opportunity. Concerns over industry
deregulation have led to stocks selling at their most attractive relative
yield valuations in over 25 years. While the electric utility stocks held in
the portfolio registered disappointing relative returns during the past six
months, we are continuing to focus our investments in what we believe are
competitive, well-positioned companies and beneficiaries of anticipated
industry consolidation. For example, we initiated an investment in Entergy
Corp., a New Orleans-based utility that offered a 7.0% yield and sold at
approximately 10 times earnings at time of purchase.

Energy stocks continue to represent one of the portfolio's largest investment
sectors. Investment fundamentals such as earnings, cash flow and dividends
have been strong. We believe future prospects in this sector are also
favorable as rising worldwide demand for oil and gas, in relation to
exploration and production activity, should lead to strong prices and profit
growth for leading companies in the industry. Energy investments represent
five of the portfolio's top ten positions, including Atlantic Richfield Co.,
Texaco Inc., YPF Sociedad Anonima, Chevron Corp., and Exxon Corp.

Our investments in financial stocks, specifically savings & loans and
insurance companies, experienced notable gains during the period. The
portfolio's savings & loan holdings, which included Roosevelt Financial
Group, Inc., were subject to recent takeover bids, which led to higher
prices. In the insurance sector, Lincoln National Corp. and St. Paul Cos.,
Inc. performed well as a combination of good valuations and strong
fundamentals led to their strong gains in the period. Investments in consumer
staples and health care stocks also performed well (Tambrands Inc. received a
takeover bid by Proctor & Gamble) and the major pharmaceutical stocks
continued to move higher on strengthening fundamentals. In the second quarter
of 1997, we did take advantage of recent weakness in one of the few
weak-performing drug companies -- Pharmacia & Upjohn Inc. -- to add to our
position in this industry. Pharmacia & Upjohn is trading at a significant
discount to its peers and is currently restructuring its operations which, in
our opinion, should lead to a resumption in earnings growth and higher
valuations.



Foreign stocks represented 12.0% of the portfolio's total net assets on June
30, 1997. Currently, compared to domestic companies, many foreign stocks have
higher dividend yields and more attractive valuations in terms of
price/earnings ratios in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, energy, basic
materials, and financials. In addition to the above-mentioned Pharmacia &
Upjohn Inc., we initiated positions in two foreign companies during the
reporting period: Imperial Chemical (U.K.) and Mid Ocean Limited (Bermuda), a
reinsurance company.

Looking forward, we remain committed to our disciplined, value-oriented
approach, which has produced consistent and favorable long-term results.

Income Securities Fund
The stock market appreciated during the period under review, driven by solid
economic growth and a benign inflation environment. In contrast, the bond
market experienced little change over the period, despite Treasury bond
volatility related to the strength of the economy and the federal funds rate
increase in March. The recovery in the second quarter was precipitated by
signs of slower economic growth. Most of the portfolio's sectors performed
well during the last six months, with the exception of gold stocks (which
declined following a drop in the price of gold).

Our fixed-income holdings consisted of corporate (33.2% of total net assets),
foreign (12.3%), and U.S. Treasury bonds (8.3%). Although corporate bonds
have generally performed well over the past two years, we were still able to
find good values in companies with positive business and credit prospects. We
added selectively to existing bond positions, initiated positions in
Bellwether Exploration (energy) and Paging Network (telecommunications), and
purchased bonds issued to refinance three of the portfolio's existing
positions (Anacomp, Del Monte, and Revlon Worldwide). In addition, several of
the portfolio's corporate bond holdings benefited from buyout or merger
announcements over the last six months (Smith's Food, CommNet Cellular, and
Mesa Petroleum).

The portfolio's foreign bond positions turned in a strong performance. In
February, we took advantage of strength in our Mexican Brady bonds, swapping
these positions for Brazilian Brady bonds, which appeared to offer greater
value. We also sold our Canadian bond position in May due to valuation
concerns and currency risk. With respect to U.S. Treasuries, we increased our
exposure by purchasing bonds amid market weakness earlier in the year.

Most of the portfolio's equity sectors performed well during the last six
months, with energy and pharmaceutical stocks leading the way. Energy stocks
were strong performers as a result of a generally positive earnings outlook.
However, these stocks did experience weakness in February and March due to a
temporary decline in energy prices. We took advantage of this weakness by
adding to existing positions in Nuevo Energy and Swift Energy as we believe
the long-term outlook for these companies remains positive.

We maintained the portfolio's utility weighting (22% of total net assets)
because we believe many of the stocks in this sector are undervalued and
offer attractive high current income. In addition, many utility companies
have made significant progress in adapting to industry deregulation through
cost cutting, consolidation and diversifying into unregulated business lines.
Over the period, we added to existing utility positions in the portfolio, and
initiated positions in MidAmerican Energy (mid-western electric & gas
utility) and CMS Energy (Michigan electric & gas utility).

Looking at other sectors of the portfolio, we purchased two new convertible
real estate positions in Vornado Realty Trust (REIT) and Macerich Co. (REIT),
two high-quality companies with excellent growth prospects. In the
pharmaceutical sector, strong price appreciation prompted us to sell the
portfolio's remaining pharmaceutical holdings as we believed further
appreciation potential for these stocks was limited at current levels.
Finally, due to valuation concerns, we recognized significant gains from the
Altera and Xilinx convertible bond positions purchased during last July's
technology sell-off.

With valuations in the stock and bond markets relatively high, we remain
selective as we search for investments with high current income and good
appreciation potential. We will continue to utilize our extensive research
capabilities in searching for attractively valued securities, and believe
that the portfolio's cash position should provide us with the ability to take
advantage of investment opportunities as they arise.

Mutual Shares Securities Fund
The Mutual Shares Securities Fund seeks capital appreciation, with income as
a secondary objective, by investing in domestic and foreign equity
securities. These include common and preferred stocks, securities convertible
into common stocks, as well as debt obligations of any quality. On June 30,
1997, 65.4% of the portfolio's total net assets were invested in equity
securities, 2.9% in fixed-income securities, and the remaining 31.7% in
short-term and other securities. Of course, these holdings will change as
conditions warrant.

When an index such as the S&P 500 is up 20.06% in the first six months of
1997, some might ask, "why not just throw in the towel and own an index
fund?" The answer is basic: We believe that our value approach is the best
way to achieve consistent, long-term appreciation with low risk and low
volatility. The mix of our businesses -- cheap stocks, "special situations"
such as mergers and spinoffs, and bankruptcies -- is intended to provide the
best risk-adjusted returns in a wide variety of market conditions.

Our most recent efforts to find value in these markets included buying stakes
in a number of energy companies, including in the oil service business and on
the exploration and production side. We also found good value in selected
healthcare names, some of which have come down in price due to short-term
dislocations. Strong merger and acquisition activity is also providing some
good investment opportunities. Many foreign stocks are still attractive to
us, and though the larger capitalization names are generally less compelling
than they were a year or two ago, we believe opportunities in the smaller
capitalization companies are still plentiful.

Real Estate Securities Fund

During the six-month period under review, the U.S. real estate market
performed well as robust economic growth and limited new property development
helped drive occupancy and rental rates higher. In addition, cost savings
from consolidation and growing economies of scale had a positive impact on
real estate companies. Although fundamentals in the real estate industry
remained strong in 1997, prices of real estate stocks -- after appreciating
significantly in the fourth quarter of 1996 -- fell slightly after the Federal
Reserve Board raised interest rates on March 25, 1997. The sector rebounded
in the second quarter of 1997 as the markets stabilized and real estate
stocks continued to report positive results.

The market capitalization and liquidity of equity real estate investment
trusts (REITs) increased significantly over the past several years as the
strong real estate market attracted new investors. In fact, REITs now
represent approximately 8.4% of the Russell 2000 Index of small
capitalization funds. As the public market for real estate companies expands,
we remain committed to our long-term investment strategy of focusing on
property types and geographic regions with strong supply and demand
fundamentals. We attempt to identify those management teams with the ability
to add value through intensive property management and strong capital markets
experience. In keeping with this strategy, we maintained the majority of the
portfolio's investments in hotel, apartment, industrial, office, and
self-storage properties, where we anticipate the most favorable supply and
demand fundamentals and strongest cash flow growth.

At the end of the reporting period, the hotel sector was the portfolio's
largest property-type weighting, representing 20.5% of total net assets, up
from 17.9% six months ago. Available hotel rooms have become scarce in many
cities across the country, reflecting higher occupancy rates. This
contributed to the excellent operating results and significant consolidation
activity, which made hotels our strongest performing sector. During the
period, we initiated a position in Prime Hospitality Corporation, an
attractively-valued lodging company. At the high-end of the hotel/resort
segment, we purchased shares in Colorado-based Vail Resorts, Inc. We also
added to core holdings such as FelCor Suite Hotels Inc., Winston Hotels, and
Host Marriott Corporation.

On June 30, 1997, the apartment sector was the portfolio's second-largest
exposure, representing 18.7% of total net assets. We maintained large
positions in our core apartment holdings, such as Equity Residential
Properties Trust, Security Capital Pacific Trust, and Bay Apartment
Communities, Inc. We also initiated a position in Charles E. Smith
Residential Realty, Inc. -- an apartment company focused on the ownership and
operation of downtown high-rise apartments.

During the past six months, we increased our exposure to the industrial
property sector by adding to our existing positions in Security Capital
Industrial Trust, Spieker Properties, Inc., Meridian Industrial Trust, and
Liberty Property Trust, as their valuations became attractive due to weakness
in office/industrial sector securities. On June 30, 1997, the industrial
sector weighting was 9.8% of total net assets, up from 8.9% six months ago.

Finally, adhering to our disciplined focus on valuation, we realized gains in
several securities in the home building, retail and hotel sectors. We
believed the valuations of these specific stocks did not reflect slowing
growth rates, which could cause weakness in the future.

Looking forward, we are confident about the prospects for real estate
securities, particularly equity REITs, because of the combination of strong
underlying fundamentals, favorable valuations, and attractive growth
opportunities they offer. We will continue to utilize our real estate
background and perspective combined with the securities experience and
resources of our research team. The portfolio will continue to focus on
high-quality real estate companies that are creating significant cash flow
and dividend growth to generate attractive total returns.


Rising Dividends Fund

Our investment strategy is based on our belief that companies with
consistently rising dividends should, over time, realize appreciation in
their stock prices. We select portfolio securities based on several criteria.
To be eligible for purchase, stocks must pass certain investment "screens,"
or screening procedures, including consistent and substantial dividend
increases, strong balance sheets, and relatively low price/earnings ratios.
We seek fundamentally sound companies that meet our standards and attempt to
acquire them at attractive prices, often when they are out of favor with
other investors.

The stock market -- and a number of securities in the portfolio -- continued to
benefit from an environment characterized by solid economic growth and low
inflation. One of our holdings, State Street Corp. -- a provider of services
to institutional investors, was a direct beneficiary of rising prices for
financial assets. Bristol-Myers' strong new product pipeline appears to be
increasing its earnings growth rate. Cohu Inc.'s order backlog for its
semiconductor test handling equipment grew in the first two quarters of 1997
after falling for most of 1996. Investors have begun to appreciate that M.A.
Hanna's earnings have become increasingly less cyclical in recent years. Many
analysts are expecting earnings growth at America's largest company, General
Electric, to be accelerating. Mercury General is experiencing very strong
growth in auto insurance premiums, Family Dollar Stores continues to do well
with its small-scale and low-priced general merchandise stores, and the much
larger Wal-Mart Stores has benefited from better inventory control and an
expanding international presence.

The prices of several stocks in the portfolio fell during the period despite
the strong market. Wallace Computer Services had lower-than-expected earnings
growth as a result of slower-than-anticipated rollout of the company's
services to new accounts and a slowdown in direct mail business. MMI
Companies (insurance - property/casualty) also reported earnings that were
lower than expected. The company was hurt by a slowdown in medical
malpractice premium growth. We think both of these companies are still very
attractive businesses and, therefore, we purchased additional shares during
the period.

New positions added to the portfolio during the six-month period included Nike,
Inc., Washington Mutual, Inc., Hubbell, Inc. - Class B, Diebold, Inc., and
American Heritage Life Investment Corp. Nike has become one of the world's most
recognizable brand names; however, a slowdown in its domestic footwear sales
caused its stock to fall to an attractive valuation. Still, international sales,
as well as domestic apparel sales, continue to be very strong. Washington Mutual
is a rapidly growing west coast financial services company, increasing its
dividend for seven consecutive quarters. Hubbell, a manufacturer of electrical
components, increased its dividend for 37 years, and Diebold -- which makes
card-based transaction systems such as automatic teller machines -- has 43 years
of dividend increases. American Heritage Life specializes in selling life and
health insurance through automatic payroll deductions, and not only has 27 years
of consecutive dividend increases but also has 21 years of increasing operating
earnings.

Several positions were eliminated from the portfolio, including C.R. Bard,
Inc., Arnold Industries, Inc., and Loctite Corp. Bard has had difficulty
growing revenues in a very competitive pricing environment, and Arnold
Industries is no longer increasing its dividend. Loctite, a specialty
chemical company, was acquired by another company in January 1997 at a gain
of 37%.

Notable year-over-year dividend increases during the past six months came
from Baldor Electric Co. (+20%), Cohu, Inc. (+20%), Leggett & Platt, Inc.
(+18.2%), Merck & Co. (+23.5%), Mercury General Corp. (+20.8%), Nucor Corp.
(+25%), Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (+28.6%), and Washington Mutual, Inc. (+18.2%).

As shown in the table on page 25, our 10 largest positions on June 30, 1997,
comprised 27% of the portfolio's total net assets. It is interesting to note
how these 10 companies would, in the aggregate, answer the portfolio's
screening criteria based on a simple average of statistical measures. On
average, these 10 companies have raised their dividends 16 years in a row and
by 400% in the last 10 years. Their most recent dividend increases averaged
17.4%, for a yield of 1.4% on June 30, 1997, and a dividend payout ratio of
24%. Long-term debt averaged 23% of capitalization, and the average
price/earnings ratio was 17.7%, versus 19.8% for that of the unmanaged S&P
500 Stock Index on the same date.

We think that these companies are representative of the fundamentally high
quality of the portfolio. We also believe that, over the long haul, companies
that increase cash payments to shareholders, year after year, should be
superior builders of wealth.

Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund

Volatility and uncertainty have been key factors in the world's financial
markets for much of the first half of 1997. The U.S. equity market began the
year at an all-time high, and proceeded to rise and fall. At the same time,
the U.S. dollar rose against most foreign currencies, reducing returns for
U.S. holders of foreign bonds. Since these events affected markets
differently, market selection and currency management were two key factors
impacting the portfolio over the reporting period.

While the U.S. remained our largest portfolio holding (20.1% of total net
assets on June 30, 1997), high stock valuations in this region have brought
us to sell or reduce some of our holdings, particularly financial ones. Among
those equity positions we sold were Citicorp and Lucent Technologies. Within
the European bond markets, we added to our positions in Italy and Sweden,
purchases funded by the May sale of some German bonds.

GRAPHIC MATERIAL 6 OMITTED - SEE APPENDIX AT END OF DOCUMENT

The picture in our emerging markets exposure has been mixed. Latin America
rebounded sharply in 1997, with Brazil and Argentina posting phenomenal
performance (52.6% and 26.4% six-month total returns, respectively). As a
result, our emerging markets exposure remained relatively unchanged over the
period, with the largest allocations in Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico. On the
other hand, economic deterioration and political turmoil had a detrimental
effect on Asia's share prices. Regardless, we believe that opportunities are
born out of adversity, and we search diligently for overlooked opportunities,
particularly in South Korea, Thailand, and China.

Utility Equity Fund

Although U.S. utility markets were generally weak during the six months under
review, Latin American, European and Asian utility stocks performed
relatively well.

Our U.S. weightings declined slightly over the period (from 82.2% of total
net assets to 81.9%). Investors ignored large segments of the U.S. utility
market due to concerns over changing federal and state regulations. Both the
electric power generation and telecommunications industries experienced
significant deregulatory changes throughout 1996 and into 1997, causing the
average electric utility stock price to increase slightly. Regardless, we
feel that there are select buying opportunities in this market segment and
will continue to look for new investment opportunities.

Overall, our weighting in the foreign markets increased slightly during the
six-month period. We took profits in some European and Asian companies as
several of our holdings in these regions reached our target price range. We
also increased our Latin American position, particularly in electric power as
some governments in this region are trying to privatize this industry in
order to attract the needed technological knowledge and investments.

Looking forward, we believe that the global utility market offers very
attractive equity investment opportunities. In the U.S., high-quality utility
companies with aggressive, entrepreneurial management have been generating
strong earnings growth, and we hold a positive view of the California and
federal attempts at deregulation. Outside the U.S., the ongoing privatization
and deregulation of the utility industry continues to represent, we feel,
high quality investment opportunities with the potential for strong growth
rates and excellent total returns.

Portfolios Seeking Current Income

High Income Fund
Over the six months under review, the portfolio made several industry
allocation changes. We reduced our positions in the automotive and chemical
industries to capitalize on profits made in these somewhat cyclical holdings.
To avoid possible underperformance from an increasingly competitive
environment, we also reduced our cable television exposure.

During the reporting period, we increased our holdings in the broadcasting
and wireless communications industries, mainly to take advantage of rapid
market penetration, deregulation and industry consolidation in these sectors.
Additionally, industry consolidation created positive opportunities to
increase positions in the containers and packaging and the industrial sectors.

Within the wireless communications and telecommunications sectors, Nextel,
Telecom and Millicom performed well. Other strong performers include Collins
& Aikman Products (automotive), Smith's Food & Drug (food retailing), Ralphs
Grocery Co. (food retailing), Algoma Steel (metals & mining), and Mesa
Operating (energy). Mesa benefited substantially from a merger with an
investment grade-rated company, and has itself been upgraded to a Ba2 rating
by Moody's Investors Service.

Looking forward, we expect a favorable outlook for the high yield bond market
assuming we experience ongoing steady economic growth. However, the portfolio
will continue to acquire higher-quality issues, realizing that the growth
phase of the U.S. economy is now in its seventh year. Although we do not see
significant risk of recession on the short-term horizon, we believe that this
is a prudent investment strategy for the long term. Barring significant
fluctuations from moderate growth and low inflation trends in the first half
of 1997, a prosperous outlook remains for the high yield bond market.

Templeton Global Income Securities Fund
During the period under review, interest rates fell in almost all global bond
markets, increasing the value of most global fixed-income securities. At the
same time, however, the U.S. dollar rose against most foreign currencies,
reducing returns for U.S. holders of foreign bonds. Since these events
affected markets differently, market selection and currency management were
two key factors impacting the portfolio over the reporting period.

Responding to fluctuating economic conditions, we remained conservatively
positioned with respect to both interest rate and currency risk. Early in the
period, we reduced our Denmark exposure (from 7.2% of total net assets on
December 31, 1996, to 3.9%), eliminated our Ireland (1.2%) exposure, and
reinvested the proceeds in German and U.S. securities. We eliminated our
position in Japan, as that economy exhibited initial signs of underlying
strength. We also added to our positions in Italy and Sweden, purchases
funded by the May sale of some German bonds.

As of June 30, 1997, the portfolio held approximately 83% of its assets in
intermediate-term securities of dollar bloc countries (the U.S., Australia,
Canada, and dollar-denominated emerging markets), while holding roughly 16%
in intermediate-term European securities. Our emerging markets exposure
remained relatively unchanged over the six-month period, with Brazil,
Argentina and Mexico our largest allocations in this region.

U.S. Government Securities Fund

The U.S. Government Securities Fund holds a diversified portfolio of agency
mortgage and government securities, with holdings of Government National
Mortgage Association (GNMA or "Ginnie Mae") mortgage passthroughs as our
largest positions. Some other portfolio holdings were Federal National
Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(FHLMC) passthroughs and debentures issued by the Financing Corporation
(FICO) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). On June 30, 1997, the fund's
investments consisted of 71.0% of total net assets in mortgage-backed
securities (of which approximately 42.3% were Ginnie Maes), and 28.2% in
other U.S. government and agency securities and short-term investments. Of
course, these holdings may change as market conditions warrant.

As reports of strong economic growth surfaced in the fourth quarter of 1996,
U.S. interest rates -- which had declined between the third quarter and
December 1996 -- reversed course and pushed higher. Investors feared that with
labor markets tight, higher growth would continue to push wage growth higher.
This could eventually be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices.
To no one's surprise, the Federal Reserve Board nudged the federal funds rate
up slightly at the Open Market Committee meeting in March, citing heightened
inflation risk as the reason behind the quarter-point increase.

The mortgage passthrough market experienced lower prepayment risk as yields
remained higher. This helped the mortgage passthroughs perform well compared
with other government bonds (including U.S. Treasuries) as investors
benefited from the added yield these securities provide.

Over the remainder of 1997, we expect that interest rate volatility will
remain subdued, which will continue to benefit mortgage passthrough
securities. However, overall yield levels may move to the higher end of their
recent trading range as consumer activity and economic growth rebound in the
second half of 1997.

Three Zero Coupon Funds (maturity dates: 2000, 2005, 2010)

Over the course of the first half of 1997, interest rates increased -- but
only slightly. Strong economic growth heightened prospects that inflation
would accelerate; however, by mid-year, there was only scant evidence that
inflation was on the rise. In addition to the continued favorable news on
inflation, the bond markets rallied because of the progress made on reducing
the federal budget deficit.

The Zero Coupon Fund portfolios aim to maintain investments as close to the
target maturities as practically possible. This makes changes in the interest
rates a highly significant factor affecting the unit value of these
portfolios. With four years to maturity in the 2000 portfolio, this portfolio
could possibly experience an approximate 4% swing in value for every 100
basis point (or 1%) swing in interest rates. Likewise, the 2005 fund has the
potential to move up or down approximately 9% for the same swing in interest
rates, and the 2010 may move -- up or down -- 14%.

Naturally, if held to maturity, individual zero coupon bonds will return a
fixed rate. Zero coupon investments, therefore, can be attractive for both
aggressive and risk averse investors. Of course, a managed portfolio of zero
coupon bonds will fluctuate with cash flow in or out of the portfolio, or
vary with market conditions. In each portfolio, we strive to maintain -- at
all times -- a duration within 12 months of the target maturity. We do not try
to time the market; instead, our portfolio activity mirrors shareholder
activity. We make purchases when money flows into the portfolios, and sell
securities to meet redemptions. Additionally, we hold primarily U.S. Treasury
and agency zero coupon and stripped securities, as well as top-rated
corporate securities. We believe this strategy keeps default risk at a
minimum.

Portfolio Seeking Capital Preservation and Income

Money Market Fund
Strong economic growth coupled with mild inflation characterized most of the
period under review. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997, was 5.9% -- considerably above the Federal Reserve
Board's (the Fed's) targeted long-term growth rate of 2.5%. Moreover,
unemployment levels trended down to 4.8%, the lowest level experienced in 25
years. In spite of the blistering economic growth, inflation indicators
remained relatively low. However, the Fed responded preemptively to the
potential for higher prices by increasing the federal funds rate on March 25.
In response to this rise, most other short-term rates also rose slightly
during the period.

Since we maintained a relatively neutral weighted average maturity during the
six-month reporting period, the portfolio's seven-day yield reflected the
rise in short-term rates. Our seven-day yield began the period at 5.04% and
ended at 5.18%.

We continue to invest the portfolio's assets in securities that are among the
highest quality available to money market portfolios. Since the portfolio's
objective is to provide shareholders with a high quality conservative
investment, we do not invest in leveraged derivative or other potentially
volatile securities that we believe involve undue risk.

Looking forward, we feel the economy is in the later stages of the current
business cycle. Growth should continue to result from higher private
consumption, capital spending, and improving foreign economies. However, we
expect these forces -- coupled with a tight labor market -- could jeopardize
the current, benign inflation picture. As a result, the Fed may be compelled
to raise short-term rates further.

The Money Market Fund's relatively short-weighted average maturity should
position the portfolio effectively for this type of interest rate

portfolio's securities at a faster rate due to the relatively short overall
maturity.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Franklin Valuemark Funds (the Trust) is an open-end, management investment
company (mutual fund) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Trust currently consists of twenty-three separate funds (the
Funds), all of which are diversified except for the Templeton Global Income
Securities Fund. Each of the Funds issues a separate series of the Trust's
shares and maintains a totally separate investment portfolio. Shares of the
Funds are sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits
of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by
Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life), which was
formerly North American Life and Casualty Company (NALAC), and its affiliates.
The investment objectives of each Fund are as follows:

</TABLE>

The Capital Growth Fund and the Templeton International Smaller Companies Fund
became effective on May 1, 1996, and the Mutual Shares Securities Fund and the
Mututal Discovery Securities Fund became effective November 8, 1996.

Effective May 1, 1997, the name of the Precious Metals Fund changed to the
Natural Resources Fund. Before May 1, 1997, the portfolio had different
investment objectives and policies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies.

a. Security Valuation:

Portfolio securities listed on a securities exchange or on the NASDAQ for which
market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or, if
there is no sale price, within the range of the most recent quoted bid and asked
prices. Other securities are valued based on a variety of factors, including
yield, risk, maturity, trade activity and recent developments related to the
securities. Portfolio securities which are traded both in the over-the-counter
market and on a securities exchange are valued according to the broadest and
most representative market as determined by the investment manager. The Trust
may utilize a pricing service, bank or broker/dealer experienced in such matters
to perform any of the pricing functions, under procedures approved by the Board
of Trustees (the Board). Securities for which market quotations are not
available, and securities restricted as to resale, are valued in accordance with
procedures established by the Board.

The value of a foreign security is determined as of the earlier of the close of
trading on the foreign exchange on which it is traded or the close of trading on
the New York Stock Exchange. That value is then converted into its U.S. dollar
equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at noon, New York time, on the
day the value of the foreign security is determined. If no sale is reported at
that time, the mean between the current bid and asked prices is used.
Occasionally, events which affect the values of foreign securities and foreign
exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the
close of the exchange and will, therefore, not be reflected in the computation
of the Fund's net asset value, unless material. If events which materially
affect the value of these foreign securities occur during such period, these
securities will be valued in accordance with procedures established by the
Board.

Portfolio securities in the Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost,
which approximates value. The Fund must maintain a dollar weighted average
maturity of 90 days or less and only purchase instruments having remaining
maturities of 397 days or less. If the Fund's portfolio has a remaining weighted
average maturity of greater than 90 days, the portfolio will be stated at value
based on recorded closing sales on a national securities exchange or, in the
absence of a recorded sale, within the range of the most recent quoted bid and
asked prices. The Board has established procedures designed to stabilize, to the
extent reasonably possible, the Fund's price per share as computed for the
purpose of sales and redemptions at $1.00.

b. Income Taxes:

The Funds intend to continue to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to
regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code and to make the
requisite distributions to shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve the
Funds from income taxes. Each Fund is treated as a separate entity in the
determination of compliance with the Internal Revenue Code.

c. Security Transactions:

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased
or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are
determined on the basis of specific identification.

d. Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions:

Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily.
Original issue discount is amortized as required by the Internal Revenue Code.

For the Money Market Fund, net investment income includes income, calculated on
an accrual basis, and estimated expenses which are accrued daily. The total
available for distribution is computed daily and includes the net investment
income, plus or minus any gains or losses on security transactions and any
changes in unrealized portfolio appreciation or depreciation. Distributions are
normally declared each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business,
equal to the total available for distributions (as defined above), and are
payable to shareholders of record as of the close of business the preceding day.
Such distributions are automatically reinvested daily in additional shares of
the Fund at net asset value.

A portion of the distributions received from investments in Real Estate
Investment Trust (REIT) securities may be characterized as tax basis return of
capital (ROC) distributions, which are not recorded as dividend income, but
reduce the cost basis of the REIT securities. ROC distributions exceeding the
cost basis of the REIT security are recognized by the Funds as capital gain.

Net investment income differs for financial statement and tax purposes primarily
due to tax basis mark to market of unrealized gains with respect to differing
treatments of foreign currency transactions and defaulted securities - see Note
7.

Net realized capital gains and losses differ for financial statement and tax
purposes primarily due to tax basis mark to market of unrealized gains with
respect to differing treatments of wash sale and foreign currency transactions.

e. Accounting Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

f. Expense Allocation:

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. In all other
respects, expenses are charged to each Fund as incurred on a specific
identification basis.

g. Foreign Currency Translation:

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S.
dollars at the rate of exchange of the currencies against U.S. dollars on the
valuation date. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are
translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the day that the transactions are
recorded. Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected
or paid are recognized when reported by the custodian.

g. Foreign Currency Translation: (cont.)

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising
from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included
with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of
short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, gains or losses realized
between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, the difference
between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes
recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts
actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on
translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise
from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in
securities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in
exchange rates.

h. Repurchase Agreements:

The Funds may enter into a joint repurchase agreement whereby their uninvested
cash balances are deposited into a joint cash account to be used to invest in
one or more repurchase agreements with government securities dealers recognized
by the Federal Reserve Board and/or member banks of the Federal Reserve System.
The value and face amount of the joint repurchase agreement are allocated to the
Funds based on their pro-rata interest. A repurchase agreement is accounted for
as a loan by the Fund to the seller, collateralized by underlying U.S.
government securities, which are delivered to the Fund's custodian. The market
value, including accrued interest, of the initial collateralization is required
to be at least 102% of the dollar amount invested by the Funds, with the value
of the underlying securities marked to market daily to maintain coverage of at
least 100%. At June 30, 1997, all outstanding repurchase agreements held by the
Funds, had been entered into on that date.

i. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis:

The Funds may trade securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, with
payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions are subject
to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery
may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Funds will
generally purchase these securities with the intention of holding the
securities, they may sell the securities before the settlement date. These
securities are identified on the accompanying Statement of Investments in
Securities and Net Assets. The Funds have set aside sufficient investment
securities as collateral for these purchase commitments.

j. Mortgage Dollar Rolls:

The U.S. Government Securities Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in
which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously contracts to
repurchase substantially similar, but not identical, securities on a specified
future date, generally at a price lower than the price of the security sold. The
counterparty receives all principal and interest payments, including
prepayments, made on the mortgage-backed security sold while it is the holder.
Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed with a new sale and repurchase price fixed
and a cash settlement made without physical delivery of the securities subject
to the contract, at the renewal date. Mortgage dollar rolls are accounted
for as collateralized financing transactions.


2. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A forward currency contract, which is individually negotiated and privately
traded by currency traders and their customers, is a commitment to purchase or
sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date.

The Mutual Discovery Securities Fund, Mutual Shares Securities Fund, Templeton
Global Asset Allocation Fund, and Templeton Global Income Securities Fund may
enter into forward contracts with the objective of minimizing the risk to the
Funds from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies or to enhance
fund value. The Funds may also enter into a forward contract in relation to a
security denominated in a foreign currency or when they anticipate receipt in a
foreign currency of dividends or interest payments in order to "lock in" the
U.S. dollar price of a security or the U.S. dollar equivalent of such dividend
or interest payments.

Any gain or loss realized from a forward foreign currency contract is recorded
as a realized gain or loss from investments.

Each Fund segregates in its custodian bank sufficient cash, cash equivalents or
readily marketable debt securities as collateral for commitments created by open
forward contracts. The Funds could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the
contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the
foreign currency changes unfavorably.

As of June 30, 1997, the Mutual Discovery Securities Fund had the following
forward foreign currency contracts outstanding:

7. CREDIT RISK AND DEFAULTED SECURITIES

The High Income Fund, the Income Securities Fund, the Mutual Discovery
Securities Fund, and the Mutual Shares Securities Fund have 87.9%, 42.5%, 1.1%,
and 1.3%, respectively, of their portfolios invested in lower rated and
comparable quality unrated securities. Investments in high yield securities are
accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk and such lower rated securities
tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities.
The risk of loss due to default by the issuer may be significantly greater for
the holders of high yield securities, because such securities are generally
unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.

At June 30, 1997 the Income Securities Fund held two defaulted securities with a
value aggregating $6,175,000, representing .45% of the Fund's net assets. For
information as to the specific securities, see the accompanying Statement of
Investments in Securities and Net Assets.

For financial reporting purposes, it is the Fund's accounting practice to
discontinue accrual of income and provide an estimate for probable losses due to
unpaid interest income on defaulted bonds for the current reporting period.

There are certain credit risks, foreign currency exchange risk, or event risk
due to the manner in which certain Funds are invested, which may subject the
Funds more significantly to economic changes occurring in certain industries or
sectors as follows:

The High Income Fund has investments in excess of 10% of its net assets in Cable
Television and Wireless Communication.

The Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund has investments in excess of 10% of
its net assets in Mexico.

The Templeton International Equity Fund has investments in excess of 10% of its
net assets in United Kingdom.

The Templeton International Smaller Companies Fund has investments in excess of
10% of its net assets in Hong Kong.

The Templeton Pacific Growth Fund has investments in excess of 10% of its net
assets in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore.


8. HOLDINGS OF 5% VOTING SECURITIES OF PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

Investments in portfolio issuers, 5% or more of whose outstanding voting
securities are held by any of the Funds, are defined in the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as affiliated companies. The Real Estate Securities Fund and Rising
Dividends Fund had investments in such affiliated companies at June 30, 1997,
with a value in the amount of $5,443,750 and $15,395,463, respectively. See the
accompanying Statement of Investments in Securities and Net Assets for specific
information on such securities.


9. RESTRICTED SECURITIES

A restricted security is a security which has not been registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. The
Funds may purchase restricted securities through a private offering and they
cannot be sold without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933
unless such sale is pursuant to an exemption therefrom. Subsequent costs of
registration of such securities are borne by the issuer. A secondary market
exists for certain privately placed securities. The Funds value these restricted
securities as disclosed in Note 1(a). At June 30, 1997, the Funds held
restricted securities as follows:

investment of the cash collateral received was $815 for the period ended June

++Per share amounts have been calculated using the average shares outstanding during the period.
+++The net asset value differs from the net asset value used to process shareholder activity as of the reporting date, which does
not include market adjustments for portfolio trades made on that date. These adjustments are generally accounted for on the day
following the trade date.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW


IN THE U.S.: UP, UP AND AWAY?

A growing sense of nervousness from market participants and the Federal
Reserve Board (the Fed) shadowed the market's seemingly untethered rise, and
accompanying volatility, over the six-month period. The question on
everyone's mind: "How high can the market go?" The Dow Jones(R) Industrial
Average gained roughly 1200 points during the reporting period, pushing
through the 7000-point mark for the first time, in mid-February 1997. Strong
economic growth (first quarter GDP posted an annualized rate of 5.8%),
combined with the stock market's meteoric rise, prompted some degree of
caution on the part of the Fed. The chief topic on Wall Street was whether
the Federal Open Market Committee would increase the federal funds rate.

To no one's surprise, the Fed nudged the federal funds rate higher at its
March meeting, citing heightened inflation risk as the reason behind the
quarter-point increase. And while the market experienced a roughly 10%
correction, stock prices rebounded sharply by the end of the six months under
review, a move that could be viewed as encouraging.

The economy remains interest-rate sensitive, reacting quickly to any changes.
While expanding economic growth and increased interest rates went
hand-in-hand in the first quarter of 1997, the economy appears to be slowing
slightly, with interest rates trending downward by the end of the reporting
period.


AND IN THE FOREIGN MARKETS...
Many European stocks also appreciated in value as companies there generated
healthy profits due to privatization, restructuring and cost-reduction
programs. Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain and Denmark were among the
region's best-performing equity markets. Although European equity markets
were strong, their fixed-income markets didn't fare as well. The U.S. dollar
rose against most foreign currencies, reducing returns for U.S. holders of
foreign bonds.

Emerging markets generally experienced substantial gains during the reporting
period, with Latin America, in particular, delivering stellar returns. For
example, Brazil's Bovespa Index soared 86% and Mexico's Bolsa Index surged
33%, as measured in U.S. dollars.1 Asian developing markets, however,
provided mixed results: The Hong Kong and Chinese markets rose, while those
in Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines declined.

OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF
Interest rates will probably continue to fluctuate as the Fed looks for signs
of increasing inflationary pressures and other indicators to determine if
additional action is necessary. And while further Fed action could lead to
some volatility in the domestic markets, we have yet to see any major changes
in the economy. It is important to remember, however, that markets correct --
in our opinion, it is desirable for them to do so. The quarter-point increase
in the federal funds rate may be a precursor of one or two more adjustments
before the year ends. Large federal budget deficits are still too fresh in
investors' memories, and apparently much attention is directed toward keeping
the budget in close balance. We feel, therefore, that the economy should not
see much higher rates in the near term -- certainly not like those experienced
during 1994.

Note: The unit value is the total value of assets of the sub-account (which
is equal to the portfolio's net assets), minus the daily variable account
charges with
a charge or credit for reserved taxes, and then divided by the total number
of units. It does not reflect the contingent deferred sales charge that
declines from 6% to 0% over five full years for Valuemark III, 5% to 0% over
five full years for Valuemark II, or the annual contract maintenance charge;
if these were included, values would be lower.
Investment returns and the value of your principal will vary with market

The above figures represent the average annual change in value, assuming
reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Performance shown reflects all
charges, including the annual contract maintenance charge and applicable
contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC). The CDSC reduces from 5% to 0% over
five full years for each purchase payment and is adjusted for the applicable
withdrawal/surrender privilege. Averaged returns smooth out variations in a
portfolio's returns, which can be significant; they are not the same as
year-by-year results. For periods of less than one year, aggregate total returns
are shown. The sub-account results are based on past performance of the
portfolios. The portfolios may have started before the sub-accounts, contracts,
or their availability in all states. Investment returns and the value of your
principal will vary with market conditions, so you may have a gain or loss when
you sell your units. Past performance cannot predict or guarantee future
results.

*Past and present expense reductions by the manager increased total return; this
agreement may be discontinued at any time.

**The manager will keep total expenses to 0.40% or less of the portfolios' net
assets through 1997, which increases returns.

Total return represents the cumulative or average annual change in value,
assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and adjusted for the
applicable withdrawal/surrender privilege. The figures reflect all fund
operating expenses and variable account asset charges. They do not include the
applicable contingent deferred sales charges (5% to 0% over five full years) for
each purchase payment, or the annual $30 contract maintenance charge; if these
were deducted, returns would be lower. Averaged returns smooth out variations in
a portfolio's returns, which can be significant; they are not the same as
year-by-year results. For periods of less than one year, aggregate total returns
are shown. The sub-account results are based on past performance of the
portfolios. The portfolios may have started before the sub-accounts, contracts,
or their availability in all states. Investment returns and the value of your
principal will vary with market conditions, so you may have a gain or loss when
you sell your units. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.

Total return represents the cumulative or average annual change in value,
assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and adjusted for the
applicable withdrawal/surrender privilege. The figures reflect all fund
operating expenses and variable account asset charges. They do not include the
applicable contingent deferred sales charges (6% to 0% over five full years) for
each purchase payment, or the annual $30 contract maintenance charge; if these
were deducted, returns would be lower. Averaged returns smooth out variations in
a portfolio's returns, which can be significant; they are not the same as
year-by-year results. For periods of less than one year, aggregate total returns
are shown. The sub-account results are based on past performance of the
portfolios. The portfolios may have started before the sub-accounts, contracts,
or their availability in all states. Investment returns and the value of your
principal will vary with market conditions, so you may have a gain or loss when
you sell your units. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.

Standardized performance data and other important disclosures are on page 9.
Please review this information and a Franklin Valuemark prospectus before
investing.

*Past and present expense reductions by the manager increased total return; this
agreement may be discontinued at any time.

**The manager will keep total expenses to 0.40% or less of the portfolios' net
assets through 1997, which increases returns.

The above figures represent the average annual change in value, assuming
reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Performance shown reflects all
charges, including the annual contract maintenance charge and applicable

withdrawal/surrender privilege. Averaged returns smooth out variations in a

PORTFOLIO OBJECTIVES AND RISKS

A Word About Risk

All of the portfolios are subject to certain risks. Generally, investments
offering the potential for higher returns are accompanied by a higher degree
of risk. Stocks, and other equities representing an ownership interest in a
corporation, have historically outperformed other asset classes over the long
term, but tend to fluctuate more dramatically over the shorter term. Bonds
and other debt obligations are affected by changes in interest rates and the
creditworthiness of their issuers. High yield, lower-rated ("junk") bonds
generally have greater price swings and higher default risks. Foreign
investing, especially in developing countries, has additional risks such as
changes in currency values, market price swings, and political or social
instability. These and other risks to which particular portfolios may be
subject -- such as specialized industry sectors or use of complex securities --
are discussed in the prospectus.

                      consideration. The portfolio invests primarily in
                      equity securities, including common stocks and securities
                      convertible into common stocks.

                      securities convertible into common stocks, as well as debt
                      obligations of any quality. The portfolio also seeks to invest
                      in securities of domestic and foreign companies involved in
                      mergers, consolidations, liquidations and reorganizations or

Securities            investments in securities of issuers that produce, refine,
Fund*(Formerly        process, or market natural resources as well as those that
Precious Metals       provide support services for natural resources companies. The
Fund)`                portfolio's secondary objective is to provide current income
                      return through the receipt of dividends or interest from its
                      investments.

Small Cap Fund        Seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal market
                      conditions, the portfolio invests primarily in equity
                      securities of small capitalization growth companies. The
                      portfolio may also invest in foreign securities, which involve
                      special risks. Small company securities may have greater price
                      swings than mid-sized or large company securities.

Portfolio             Description

Templeton Developing  Seeks long-term capital appreciation. The portfolio seeks to
Markets Equity Fund   achieve this objective by investing primarily in equity
                      securities of issuers in countries having developing markets
                      operating under normal market conditions. The portfolio is
                      subject to special and higher risks related to foreign
                      developing markets, including changes in currency values,
                      market price swings, and economic, social, and political
                      developments in the countries where the portfolio is invested
                      and the relatively smaller size and lesser liquidity of those
                      markets.

Templeton Global      Seeks long-term capital growth; any income realized will be
Growth Fund           incidental. The portfolio seeks to achieve its objective
                      through a flexible policy of investing in stocks and debt
                      obligations of companies and governments of any nation,
                      including developing markets operating under normal market
                      conditions. Investments in foreign securities involve special
                      risks including changes in currency values, market price
                      swings, and economic, social, and political developments in
                      the countries where the portfolio is invested. Developing
                      markets involve similar but higher risks related to the
                      smaller size and lesser liquidity of those markets.

Templeton             Seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal market
International Equity  conditions, the portfolio will invest at least 65% of its
Fund                  total assets in an internationally diversified portfolio of
                      equity securities. These equity securities will trade on
                      markets in countries other than the U.S., including developing
                      markets, and be issued by companies domiciled in countries
                      other than the U.S., or companies that derive at least 50% of
                      either their revenues or pre-tax income from activities
                      outside the U.S. Investments in foreign securities involve
                      special risks including changes in currency values, market
                      price swings, and economic, social, and political developments
                      in the countries where the portfolio is invested. Developing
                      markets involve similar but higher risks related to the
                      smaller size and lesser liquidity of those markets.

Fund                  developing markets operating under normal market conditions.
                      Investments in foreign securities involve special risks

                      similar but higher risks related to the smaller size and
                      lesser liquidity of those markets. Small company securities
                      may have greater price swings than mid-sized or larger company
                      securities.

Templeton Pacific     Seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal conditions, the
Growth Fund           portfolio will invest at least 65% of its assets in equity
                      securities which trade on markets in the Pacific Rim,
                      including developing markets, and which are issued by
                      companies domiciled in the Pacific Rim or companies that
                      derived at least 50% of either their revenues or pre-tax
                      income from activities in the Pacific Rim. For purposes of the
                      portfolio's 65% investment policy, the countries in the
                      Pacific Rim include Australia, China, Hong Kong, India,
                      Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, the
                      Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. The portfolio invests
                      primarily in a single geographical region of largely
                      developing foreign markets and could experience significant
                      changes in share price in any given year.

Portfolios Seeking Growth and Income

Portfolio             Description

Growth and Income     Seeks capital appreciation. The portfolio's secondary
Fund                  objective is to provide current income return. The portfolio
                      pursues capital appreciation by investing primarily in
                      domestic common stocks, securities convertible into common
                      stocks and preferred stocks.

Income Securities     Seeks to maximize income while maintaining prospects for
Fund                  capital appreciation. The portfolio will pursue its objective
                      by investing in a diversified portfolio of domestic and
                      foreign (including developing markets) debt obligations, which
                      may include high yield, high risk, lower-rated bonds, as well
                      as equity securities, selected with particular consideration
                      of current income production along with capital appreciation.
                      Lower-rated and similar non-rated securities, commonly known
                      as "junk bonds," have higher credit risks and may have greater
                      price movements. Foreign securities involve special risks,
                      including currency fluctuations and political uncertainty;
                      developing markets involve higher risks.
Mutual Shares         Seeks capital appreciation with income as a secondary
Securities Fund       objective by investing in U.S. and foreign equity securities,
                      including common and preferred stocks and securities
                      convertible into common stocks, as well as debt obligations of
                      any quality. The portfolio also seeks to invest in securities
                      of domestic and foreign companies involved in mergers,
                      consolidations, liquidations and reorganizations or as to
                      which there exist tender or exchange offers, and may
                      participate in such transactions.
Real Estate           Seeks capital appreciation, with a secondary objective of
Securities Fund       earning current income on its investments. The portfolio
                      pursues its principal objective by concentrating in securities
                      of companies in the real estate industry, primarily equity
                      real estate investment trusts (REITs). By investing primarily
                      in a single industry, the portfolio will be affected more by
                      the unfavorable developments or market downturns in that
                      industry sector than would a portfolio that invests in a wide
                      variety of industries.
Rising Dividends Fund Seeks capital appreciation and current income incidental to
                      capital appreciation. In seeking capital appreciation, the
                      portfolio invests with a long-term investment horizon.
                      Preservation of capital, while not an objective, is also an
                      important consideration. The portfolio seeks to achieve its
                      investment objectives by investing, as a fundamental policy,
                      at least 65% of its net assets in financially sound companies
                      that have paid consistently rising dividends based on the
                      investment philosophy that the securities of such companies,
                      because of their dividend record, have a strong potential to
                      increase in value.

Portfolios Seeking Growth and Income (cont.)

Portfolio             Description

Templeton Global      Seeks a high level of total return through a flexible policy
Asset Allocation Fund of investing in the following market segments: equity
                      securities of issuers of any nation, debt obligations of
                      companies and governments of any nation, and money market
                      instruments. The mix of investments among these three market
                      segments will be adjusted in an attempt to capitalize on total
                      return potential produced by changing economic conditions
                      throughout the world. Investments in foreign securities
                      involve special risks including changes in currency values,
                      market price swings, and economic, social, and political
                      developments in the countries where the portfolio is invested.
                      Developing markets involve similar but higher risks related to
                      the smaller size and lesser liquidity of those markets.

Utility Equity Fund   Seeks both capital appreciation and current income by
                      concentrating investments in the securities of companies in
                      the public utilities industry. The portfolio pursues its
                      objective by investing, under normal conditions, at least 65%
                      of the portfolio's total assets in securities of issuers
                      engaged in the public utilities industry, which includes the
                      manufacture, production, generation, transmission and sale of
                      gas and electric energy and water. Assets may also be invested
                      in issuers engaged in the communications field, including
                      entities such as telephone, telegraph, satellite, microwave
                      and other companies providing communication facilities for the
                      public benefit. The portfolio may also invest in foreign
                      securities, which involve special risk considerations,
                      including currency fluctuations and political uncertainty;
                      developing markets involve heightened risks. Because the
                      portfolio may invest in relatively few issuers, changes in the
                      value of a particular issuer, interest rate movements, changes
                      in currency values and other risks of foreign investing may
                      have a greater effect on the portfolio's results.

Portfolios Seeking Current Income

Portfolio             Description

High Income Fund      Seeks a high level of current return. As a secondary
                      objective, the portfolio seeks capital appreciation to the
                      extent consistent with its principal objective. The portfolio
                      may invest in both debt obligations and dividend-paying common
                      or preferred stocks, including high risk securities, and will
                      seek to invest in whatever type of investment is offering the
                      highest yield and expected total return without excessive risk
                      at the time of purchase. Lower-rated and similar non-rated
                      securities, commonly known as "junk bonds," have higher credit
                      risks and may have greater price movements.

Templeton Global      Seeks high current income, consistent with preservation of
Income Securities     capital, with capital appreciation as a secondary
Fund                  consideration. The portfolio will pursue its objectives by
                      investing at least 65% of its net assets in both domestic and
                      foreign debt obligations including those in developing markets
                      and related foreign currency transactions. The portfolio may
                      invest in relatively few issuers; therefore, changes in the
                      value of a particular issuer, interest rate movements, changes
                      in currency values and other special risks of foreign
                      investment may have a greater effect on the portfolio's
                      results.

U.S. Government       Seeks to earn income through investments in a portfolio
Securities Fund       limited to securities which are obligations of the U.S.
                      government, its agencies or instrumentalities. These
                      obligations may include fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage
                      backed securities. Individual securities, but not shares of
                      the portfolio, are guaranteed by the U.S. government as to
                      timely payment of principal and interest.

Funds2005, 2010)      (maturity dates: 2000, with the preservation of capital. Each
                      portfolio seeks to return a reasonably assured targeted dollar
                      amount, predictable at the time of investment, on a specific
                      target date in the future by investing primarily in zero
                      coupon securities that pay no cash income but are acquired by
                      the portfolio at substantial discounts from their value at
                      maturity. In response to interest rate changes, zero coupon
                      securities may experience greater changes in market value than
                      interest- paying securities of similar maturity. The
                      portfolios may not be appropriate for short-term investors or
                      those who intend to withdraw money before the maturity date.

Portfolio Seeking Preservation of Capital and Income

Portfolio             Description

Money Market Fund     Seeks to obtain as high a level of current income (in the
                      context of the type of investment available to the portfolio)
                      consistent with capital preservation and liquidity. An
                      investment is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
                      government. The portfolio will seek to maintain a $1 per share
                      net asset value, but there is no guarantee that it will be
                      successful in doing so.

PORTFOLIO SUMMARIES


Portfolios Seeking Capital Growth

Capital Growth Fund

Volatility returned to the domestic equity markets in 1997, with the Standard &
Poor's(R) 500 (S&P 500(R)) index experiencing moves of 1% or more -- up and down
- -- throughout approximately two-thirds of the trading days in the first half of
the year. While such volatility may cause consternation among investors, to us
it presents opportunities to buy securities of good companies that are currently
out of favor. During times like these, many portfolio managers feel compelled to
take some course of action, increasing portfolio turnover and further
contributing to exaggerated stock price movements. Sometimes, we believe the
best course of action during periods of volatility is to just sit tight with
one's investments.

It was with this low turnover philosophy that the Capital Growth Fund
portfolio was originally created -- to try to identify what we believe are
solid companies with promising growth prospects, and buy and hold them for
the long term. The portfolio consists of what we consider good quality growth
companies, generally large-cap and mid-cap (greater than $1 billion) stocks.
Our aim is not to achieve wealth overnight, but rather provide investors with
the potential for consistent growth over time.

On June 30, 1997, the portfolio held stocks of 79 companies across a diverse
group of industries, including software, finance, energy, data networking,
healthcare, semiconductors, and consumer products, to name a few. Such broad
diversity can help to mitigate the fluctuations attendant with the stock
market's volatility.

Our expectation is that the market will continue to experience greater
volatility in the coming years versus the reduced volatility over the last
several years. In part, this is due to concerns for sustained earnings growth
of individual companies. It is our belief that the S&P 500 will not produce
double-digit earnings growth again this year or next. In such an environment
of slowing corporate profit growth, solid stable growth companies -- such as
those your portfolio seeks to invest in -- are sought by investors. As growth
warrants a premium in the market due to its scarcity, investors tend to push
the prices of such growth stocks higher -- a condition which we believe should
benefit many of your portfolio holdings.

Mutual Discovery Securities Fund
The Mutual Discovery Securities Fund seeks capital appreciation, with income
as a secondary objective, by investing in domestic and foreign equity
securities. These include common and preferred stocks, securities convertible
into common stocks, as well as debt obligations of any quality. On June 30,
1997, 70.4% of the portfolio's assets were invested in equity securities,
2.3% in fixed-income securities, and the remaining 27.3% in short-term and
other securities. Of course, these holdings will change as conditions warrant.

When an index such as the S&P 500 is up 20.06% in the first six months of
1997, some might ask, "why not just throw in the towel and own an index
fund?" The answer is basic: We believe that our value approach is the best
way to achieve consistent, long-term appreciation with low risk and low
volatility. The mix of our businesses -- cheap stocks, "special situations"
such as mergers and spinoffs, and bankruptcies -- is intended to provide the
best risk-adjusted returns in a wide variety of market conditions.

Our most recent efforts to find value in these markets included buying stakes
in a number of energy companies, including in the oil service business and on
the exploration and production side. We also found good value in selected
healthcare names, some of which have come down in price due to short-term
dislocations. Strong merger and acquisition activity is also providing some
good investment opportunities. Many foreign stocks are still attractive to
us, and though the larger capitalization names are generally less compelling
than they were a year or two ago, we believe opportunities in the smaller
capitalization companies are still plentiful.

Natural Resources Securities Fund (formerly Precious Metals Fund)

On May 1, 1997, the Precious Metals Fund's investment objective changed,
broadening its industry concentration policy to companies in natural
resources industries -- thereby creating the Natural Resources Securities
Fund. The portfolio seeks capital appreciation, with current income as a
secondary objective, by now investing in the equity securities of domestic
and foreign companies in or related to the natural resources sector.

On June 30, 1997, 93.7% of the portfolio's total net assets were invested in
equity securities, 1.3% in convertible corporate bonds, and 5.0% in
short-term and other assets. Companies in the gold and precious metals sector
remain our largest weighting at 59.1%, down from 79.5% on May 1, 1997. In
accordance with the portfolio's new objective, we continue to selectively
reallocate assets to various other natural resources sectors, including
energy, base metals, paper & forest products, steel, and chemicals.

GRAPHIC MATERIAL 1 OMITTED - SEE APPENDIX AT END OF DOCUMENT

New positions in the energy sector include exploration and production
companies with the potential for above-average growth in reserves and
production. Barrett Resources, Newfield Exploration and Nuevo Energy were
among this sector's companies where we found good investment opportunities.
Additionally, we found oilfield services and equipment companies that have
benefited from current strong demand and high utilization rates, including
newly purchased Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. and Transocean Offshore, Inc.
- -- two leading offshore drilling rig operators globally. Strong growth in
worldwide hydrocarbon demand combined with modest supply provides a positive
outlook for energy fundamentals over the next several years.

The price of gold bullion declined further during the reporting period,
dropping below $340 per ounce -- negatively impacting the portfolio's holdings
in the precious metals sector. In spite of positive physical demand, the
continued Central Bank selling, strong equity markets and an overall lack of
inflation adversely affected investor sentiment. Short-side and aggressive
options selling also combined to further depress the gold price. On a
protracted basis, we view the resilient physical demand (especially from
developing countries) and long-term supply consistency as attractive and,
therefore, remain optimistic that gold should appreciate in value.

Looking forward, we continue to focus on highly profitable companies with
skilled management, strong growth profiles and solid financials. We will look
for companies that should prosper throughout economic cycles, and thus
identify those companies we believe have sustainable advantages either
through strategic asset bases or technological expertise.

Small Cap Fund
The six-month period under review proved to be favorable for equity
investors, although larger capitalization stocks outperformed their small cap
counterparts. In part due to concerns about market volatility, the Franklin
Small Cap Fund portfolio underperformed during the first quarter of 1997
before turning in strong results in the second quarter. Our second quarter
performance was spurred by the continued strength of the U.S. economy,
coupled with lack of inflationary pressure. These economic conditions helped
prevent a meaningful rise in interest rates and provided a favorable backdrop
for equity markets in general.

During the period, we looked for small companies in their emerging growth
phase, focusing on those corporations we believe have an identifiable and
sustainable competitive advantage. Such an advantage often leads to superior
revenue and earnings growth. Our research uncovered attractive investments in
a variety of industries, and the portfolio's performance was aided by our
holdings in the energy, technology and healthcare sectors.

We remain bullish on the prospects for the energy sector, which benefited
from a favorable supply-and-demand relationship. In the second quarter of
this year, we added to several of our positions in this sector, including
Varco International, Inc., a leading maker of drilling equipment. The
technology sector experienced volatility throughout most of the reporting
period, and we took advantage of this to selectively initiate several new
positions and add to several existing names. Among the new positions in the
portfolio is Electronic Arts Inc., a leading developer of entertainment
software.

We remain optimistic about the prospects for small cap stocks, despite the
recent large cap bias of the market. In our opinion, small cap stocks are
attractively valued relative to the overall market, and the growing economy
and apparent lack of inflationary pressure should create an environment
conducive to the prosperity of small cap companies.

Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund

On June 30, 1997, the portfolio was invested in 414 individual emerging
market equity securities, among 32 industry sectors and 23 countries, with
Brazil as the largest country holding (12.2% of total net assets), followed
by Mexico (11.3%) and Argentina (8.2%). We think the current geographic
breadth of the portfolio helps minimize risk, thereby reducing the volatility
of the returns on the portfolio while still maintaining the prospects for
strong performance.

The first six months of 1997 saw substantial gains in developing market
equity prices, underpinned by strong economic fundamentals and high capital
inflows from developed market countries. As in 1996, the Latin America region
was the star performer this reporting period. A combination of improved
macroeconomic management, cyclical economic recovery and an improved export
position drove equity prices higher throughout the region, particularly in
Brazil -- which realized unrelenting gains. The Asian region experienced mixed
performance during the six-month period, with many countries suffering from
oversupply in key sectors and a cyclical decline in exports. Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore and Thailand were among the hardest hit.

Looking forward, we believe that Asia's exports are likely to recover over
the remainder of the year and into 1998, driven primarily by increased demand
from the U.S. and Europe. A significant rebound in Asian exports would help
economies grow faster and bolster some of the more moribund stock markets in
that region, particularly South Korea and Thailand. We already detect signs
of a cyclical recovery in Asia's export market.

World demand for emerging market securities is its strongest since the 1960s,
and inventory levels in the U.S. and other countries are low in general. This
should benefit exporters in Latin America and Europe as well as Asia. Despite
positive growth in the first half of 1997, we believe developing markets as a
whole still represent good value.

Templeton Global Growth Fund
Volatility and uncertainty were key factors in the world's financial markets
for the first six months of 1997. The U.S. equity market started the year at
an all-time high, and continued, although the trend was not smooth. In North
America -- and the U.S., in particular -- strong economic growth with
surprisingly modest inflation confounded experts, and the ebb and flow of
interest rates reintroduced volatility in the markets. Stock valuations --
whether price/book or price/earnings -- stretched relative to five- and
ten-year averages and, in some cases, are at unprecedented levels. As
valuations rose for many U.S. stocks, we sold or trimmed some of our holdings
in this region. Among those we reduced or sold were Lucent Technologies,
Highwood Properties, Inc., and IBM.

Because we found what we consider new bargains and opportunities, Europe
remained a significant geographic weighting for us (34.0% of total net
assets). During the six months under review, many European companies
generated strong profits due to privatization, restructuring, and
cost-reduction programs. Most stock markets rose as government efforts to
meet standards for membership in the European Monetary Union (EMU) led to
improved fiscal and monetary policies and lower interest rates. The results
of the French election introduced a new element of uncertainty over the EMU,
where privatization and corporate rationalization could become more difficult
under a socialist government. Nonetheless, careful stock picking and analysis
of companies during times of macro-economic confusion has rewarded our
investors in the past, though past performance cannot guarantee future
results.

The U.K. in particular appeared to swallow the tough medicine of reforming
its labor markets, deregulating its financial markets, and privatizing
state-owned enterprises. As a result, we analyzed an increasing number of
British companies, primarily because of valuations and -- secondarily --
because we think long-term managements there seemingly have to overcome fewer
hurdles to deliver value.

The picture in our emerging markets exposure was mixed. Latin America
rebounded sharply in 1997, with Brazil and Argentina posting phenomenal
performances (52.6% and 26.4% six-month total returns, respectively). On the
other hand, economic deterioration and political turmoil detrimentally
affected Asia's share prices. Regardless, we believe that opportunities are
born out of adversity, and we search diligently for overlooked opportunities
in South Korea, Thailand and China.

Japan, Asia's largest developed market, experienced mixed performance so far
in 1997. We have redoubled our efforts to ensure that we will be in a
position to act when valuations drop to a level where more Japanese companies
qualify as bargains under our criteria.

Templeton International Equity Fund
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the strength of the portfolio's
emerging markets holdings as well as good stock selection bolstered our
overall performance. At period end, the portfolio's largest country
allocations were the U.K. (14.1% of total net assets), Sweden (9.3%), and
Netherlands (7.8%). We allowed our cash position to rise somewhat (from 12%
to 15.1%) to be prepared for any future market weakness.

After several years of underperfomance, the world's developing markets have
rebounded and we were able to uncover many bargain-priced securities in these
areas, most notably in Latin American countries, where we think fundamentals
improved as these nations adapt to capitalist economies. Our Brazilian
holdings -- including telephone company Telebras, steelmaker Companhia
Siderurgica Nacional, ADR (CSN) and banking giant Bradesco -- performed well.

Our European stock holdings also aided the portfolio's performance in early
1997. Sweden, Finland, Italy and Spain turned in particularly good
performances, but the strength of the U.S. dollar somewhat reduced those
gains. Additionally, Eastern European markets soared in early 1997, but due
to the relatively small size of these markets and -- in some cases --
regulatory and operational impediments, it was difficult for the portfolio to
gain access. Our large exposure to cyclical securities also provided good
results as investors focused on the possibility of a cyclical upturn in the
European economy. The portfolio's largest holding -- Philips Electronics
(Netherlands/3.0% of total net assets) -- advanced strongly in the first six
months of 1997 after its new management strategy to maximize share value
raised investor interest.

We believe that the long-term prospects for emerging market companies remain
exceptionally bright, based on the continued rapid development of their own
economies as well as the benefits these countries should realize from an
eventual upturn in the developed world's economic activity level.

Templeton International Smaller Companies Fund
Throughout the six-month reporting period, the portfolio, using a disciplined
focus on long-term value, continued in its endeavor to purchase the shares of
undervalued small-cap companies outside the U.S. On June 30, 1997, the
portfolio had $29 million in assets under management and was invested in 31
countries. The largest positions by geographic area were Europe (34.0% of
total net assets), Asia (19.7%), and Latin America (5.4%). By country, the
largest positions were Hong Kong (10.3%), United Kingdom (8.1%), Netherlands
(6.6%), Spain (4.8%), and Sweden (3.9%).

European stock markets moved sharply higher, propelled by excitement over
monetary union, lower interest rates, and moderate economic expansion. In
Asia, Hong Kong's stock exchange rose more than 20% in the time leading up to
the colony's reversion to China.

GRAPHIC MATERIAL 5 OMITTED - SEE APPENDIX AT END OF DOCUMENT

Currently, worldwide financial valuations are at historically high levels,
reflecting continued investor optimism over future corporate profitability
and strong cash inflows. While identifying investment bargains in this
environment is a challenge, we are confident that our disciplined approach to
finding undervalued small-cap stocks can reward long-term investors.

Templeton Pacific Growth Fund
On June 30, 1997, the fund's top five geographic allocations were Hong Kong
(25.8% of total net assets), Japan (18.6%), Singapore (12.5%), Australia
(10.7%), and Malaysia (8.6%).

A recovery in Hong Kong's retail and property sectors helped buoy its stock
market, and the portfolio benefited from the rising share prices of Cheung
Kong Holdings Ltd. and Hon Kwok Land Investment Co. Ltd., two companies with
real estate holdings in Hong Kong.

Japan's economy continued to falter as its banking system faced huge amounts
of uncollectable loans secured by land or stock worth less than the amount of
the loans. Although our holdings of Sony Corp. performed well, the yen's
decline during the period adversely affected the portfolio.

Indonesia, plagued by political problems that led to rioting in Jakarta,
experienced severe stock market volatility, and we took this opportunity to
purchase shares of PT Bank Bali and PT Panin Bank, two financial institutions
that we believe have growth potential. Seeking to capitalize on volatility in
stock markets of Thailand and India, we purchased shares of Thai Farmers Bank
Public Co. Ltd. and Bangkok Bank Public Co. Ltd., and initiated a position in
Industrial Credit & Investment Corp. of India.

In our opinion, the Pacific Rim continues to offer a variety of investment
opportunities in industrialized nations such as Hong Kong, and in nations
rich with natural resources.

Portfolios Seeking Growth and Income

Growth and Income Fund
The strategy of the Growth and Income Fund portfolio is to buy corporate
stocks that are selling at attractive prices according to valuation
parameters such as dividend yield, book value, cash earnings, and revenues.
This strategy generally entails investing at times when a company or sector
is out of favor due to depressed fundamentals or market uncertainty about
future prospects. In our opinion, utility stocks, especially electric
companies, represent such an investment opportunity. Concerns over industry
deregulation have led to stocks selling at their most attractive relative
yield valuations in over 25 years. While the electric utility stocks held in
the portfolio registered disappointing relative returns during the past six
months, we are continuing to focus our investments in what we believe are
competitive, well-positioned companies and beneficiaries of anticipated
industry consolidation. For example, we initiated an investment in Entergy
Corp., a New Orleans-based utility that offered a 7.0% yield and sold at
approximately 10 times earnings at time of purchase.

Energy stocks continue to represent one of the portfolio's largest investment
sectors. Investment fundamentals such as earnings, cash flow and dividends
have been strong. We believe future prospects in this sector are also
favorable as rising worldwide demand for oil and gas, in relation to
exploration and production activity, should lead to strong prices and profit
growth for leading companies in the industry. Energy investments represent
five of the portfolio's top ten positions, including Atlantic Richfield Co.,
Texaco Inc., YPF Sociedad Anonima, Chevron Corp., and Exxon Corp.

Our investments in financial stocks, specifically savings & loans and
insurance companies, experienced notable gains during the period. The
portfolio's savings & loan holdings, which included Roosevelt Financial
Group, Inc., were subject to recent takeover bids, which led to higher
prices. In the insurance sector, Lincoln National Corp. and St. Paul Cos.,
Inc. performed well as a combination of good valuations and strong
fundamentals led to their strong gains in the period. Investments in consumer
staples and health care stocks also performed well (Tambrands Inc. received a
takeover bid by Proctor & Gamble) and the major pharmaceutical stocks
continued to move higher on strengthening fundamentals. In the second quarter
of 1997, we did take advantage of recent weakness in one of the few
weak-performing drug companies -- Pharmacia & Upjohn Inc. -- to add to our
position in this industry. Pharmacia & Upjohn is trading at a significant
discount to its peers and is currently restructuring its operations which, in
our opinion, should lead to a resumption in earnings growth and higher
valuations.

Foreign stocks represented 12.0% of the portfolio's total net assets on June
30, 1997. Currently, compared to domestic companies, many foreign stocks have
higher dividend yields and more attractive valuations in terms of
price/earnings ratios in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, energy, basic
materials, and financials. In addition to the above-mentioned Pharmacia &
Upjohn Inc., we initiated positions in two foreign companies during the
reporting period: Imperial Chemical (U.K.) and Mid Ocean Limited (Bermuda), a
reinsurance company.

Looking forward, we remain committed to our disciplined, value-oriented
approach, which has produced consistent and favorable long-term results.

Income Securities Fund
The stock market appreciated during the period under review, driven by solid
economic growth and a benign inflation environment. In contrast, the bond
market experienced little change over the period, despite Treasury bond
volatility related to the strength of the economy and the federal funds rate
increase in March. The recovery in the second quarter was precipitated by
signs of slower economic growth. Most of the portfolio's sectors performed
well during the last six months, with the exception of gold stocks (which
declined following a drop in the price of gold).

Our fixed-income holdings consisted of corporate (33.2% of total net assets),
foreign (12.3%), and U.S. Treasury bonds (8.3%). Although corporate bonds
have generally performed well over the past two years, we were still able to
find good values in companies with positive business and credit prospects. We
added selectively to existing bond positions, initiated positions in
Bellwether Exploration (energy) and Paging Network (telecommunications), and
purchased bonds issued to refinance three of the portfolio's existing
positions (Anacomp, Del Monte, and Revlon Worldwide). In addition, several of
the portfolio's corporate bond holdings benefited from buyout or merger
announcements over the last six months (Smith's Food, CommNet Cellular, and
Mesa Petroleum).

The portfolio's foreign bond positions turned in a strong performance. In
February, we took advantage of strength in our Mexican Brady bonds, swapping
these positions for Brazilian Brady bonds, which appeared to offer greater
value. We also sold our Canadian bond position in May due to valuation
concerns and currency risk. With respect to U.S. Treasuries, we increased our
exposure by purchasing bonds amid market weakness earlier in the year.

Most of the portfolio's equity sectors performed well during the last six
months, with energy and pharmaceutical stocks leading the way. Energy stocks
were strong performers as a result of a generally positive earnings outlook.
However, these stocks did experience weakness in February and March due to a
temporary decline in energy prices. We took advantage of this weakness by
adding to existing positions in Nuevo Energy and Swift Energy as we believe
the long-term outlook for these companies remains positive.

We maintained the portfolio's utility weighting (22% of total net assets)
because we believe many of the stocks in this sector are undervalued and
offer attractive high current income. In addition, many utility companies
have made significant progress in adapting to industry deregulation through
cost cutting, consolidation and diversifying into unregulated business lines.
Over the period, we added to existing utility positions in the portfolio, and
initiated positions in MidAmerican Energy (mid-western electric & gas
utility) and CMS Energy (Michigan electric & gas utility).

Looking at other sectors of the portfolio, we purchased two new convertible
real estate positions in Vornado Realty Trust (REIT) and Macerich Co. (REIT),
two high-quality companies with excellent growth prospects. In the
pharmaceutical sector, strong price appreciation prompted us to sell the
portfolio's remaining pharmaceutical holdings as we believed further
appreciation potential for these stocks was limited at current levels.
Finally, due to valuation concerns, we recognized significant gains from the
Altera and Xilinx convertible bond positions purchased during last July's
technology sell-off.

With valuations in the stock and bond markets relatively high, we remain
selective as we search for investments with high current income and good
appreciation potential. We will continue to utilize our extensive research
capabilities in searching for attractively valued securities, and believe
that the portfolio's cash position should provide us with the ability to take
advantage of investment opportunities as they arise.

Mutual Shares Securities Fund
The Mutual Shares Securities Fund seeks capital appreciation, with income as
a secondary objective, by investing in domestic and foreign equity
securities. These include common and preferred stocks, securities convertible
into common stocks, as well as debt obligations of any quality. On June 30,
1997, 65.4% of the portfolio's total net assets were invested in equity
securities, 2.9% in fixed-income securities, and the remaining 31.7% in
short-term and other securities. Of course, these holdings will change as
conditions warrant.

When an index such as the S&P 500 is up 20.06% in the first six months of
1997, some might ask, "why not just throw in the towel and own an index
fund?" The answer is basic: We believe that our value approach is the best
way to achieve consistent, long-term appreciation with low risk and low
volatility. The mix of our businesses -- cheap stocks, "special situations"
such as mergers and spinoffs, and bankruptcies -- is intended to provide the
best risk-adjusted returns in a wide variety of market conditions.

Our most recent efforts to find value in these markets included buying stakes
in a number of energy companies, including in the oil service business and on
the exploration and production side. We also found good value in selected
healthcare names, some of which have come down in price due to short-term
dislocations. Strong merger and acquisition activity is also providing some
good investment opportunities. Many foreign stocks are still attractive to
us, and though the larger capitalization names are generally less compelling
than they were a year or two ago, we believe opportunities in the smaller
capitalization companies are still plentiful.

Real Estate Securities Fund
During the six-month period under review, the U.S. real estate market
performed well as robust economic growth and limited new property development
helped drive occupancy and rental rates higher. In addition, cost savings
from consolidation and growing economies of scale had a positive impact on
real estate companies. Although fundamentals in the real estate industry
remained strong in 1997, prices of real estate stocks -- after appreciating
significantly in the fourth quarter of 1996 -- fell slightly after the Federal
Reserve Board raised interest rates on March 25, 1997. The sector rebounded
in the second quarter of 1997 as the markets stabilized and real estate
stocks continued to report positive results.

The market capitalization and liquidity of equity real estate investment
trusts (REITs) increased significantly over the past several years as the
strong real estate market attracted new investors. In fact, REITs now
represent approximately 8.4% of the Russell 2000 Index of small
capitalization funds. As the public market for real estate companies expands,
we remain committed to our long-term investment strategy of focusing on
property types and geographic regions with strong supply and demand
fundamentals. We attempt to identify those management teams with the ability
to add value through intensive property management and strong capital markets
experience. In keeping with this strategy, we maintained the majority of the
portfolio's investments in hotel, apartment, industrial, office, and
self-storage properties, where we anticipate the most favorable supply and
demand fundamentals and strongest cash flow growth.

At the end of the reporting period, the hotel sector was the portfolio's
largest property-type weighting, representing 20.5% of total net assets, up
from 17.9% six months ago. Available hotel rooms have become scarce in many
cities across the country, reflecting higher occupancy rates. This
contributed to the excellent operating results and significant consolidation
activity, which made hotels our strongest performing sector. During the
period, we initiated a position in Prime Hospitality Corporation, an
attractively-valued lodging company. At the high-end of the hotel/resort
segment, we purchased shares in Colorado-based Vail Resorts, Inc. We also
added to core holdings such as FelCor Suite Hotels Inc., Winston Hotels, and
Host Marriott Corporation.

On June 30, 1997, the apartment sector was the portfolio's second-largest
exposure, representing 18.7% of total net assets. We maintained large
positions in our core apartment holdings, such as Equity Residential
Properties Trust, Security Capital Pacific Trust, and Bay Apartment
Communities, Inc. We also initiated a position in Charles E. Smith
Residential Realty, Inc. -- an apartment company focused on the ownership and
operation of downtown high-rise apartments.

During the past six months, we increased our exposure to the industrial
property sector by adding to our existing positions in Security Capital
Industrial Trust, Spieker Properties, Inc., Meridian Industrial Trust, and
Liberty Property Trust, as their valuations became attractive due to weakness
in office/industrial sector securities. On June 30, 1997, the industrial
sector weighting was 9.8% of total net assets, up from 8.9% six months ago.

Finally, adhering to our disciplined focus on valuation, we realized gains in
several securities in the home building, retail and hotel sectors. We
believed the valuations of these specific stocks did not reflect slowing
growth rates, which could cause weakness in the future.

Looking forward, we are confident about the prospects for real estate
securities, particularly equity REITs, because of the combination of strong
underlying fundamentals, favorable valuations, and attractive growth
opportunities they offer. We will continue to utilize our real estate
background and perspective combined with the securities experience and
resources of our research team. The portfolio will continue to focus on
high-quality real estate companies that are creating significant cash flow
and dividend growth to generate attractive total returns.

Rising Dividends Fund
Our investment strategy is based on our belief that companies with
consistently rising dividends should, over time, realize appreciation in
their stock prices. We select portfolio securities based on several criteria.
To be eligible for purchase, stocks must pass certain investment "screens,"
or screening procedures, including consistent and substantial dividend
increases, strong balance sheets, and relatively low price/earnings ratios.
We seek fundamentally sound companies that meet our standards and attempt to
acquire them at attractive prices, often when they are out of favor with
other investors.

The stock market -- and a number of securities in the portfolio -- continued to
benefit from an environment characterized by solid economic growth and low
inflation. One of our holdings, State Street Corp. -- a provider of services
to institutional investors, was a direct beneficiary of rising prices for
financial assets. Bristol-Myers' strong new product pipeline appears to be
increasing its earnings growth rate. Cohu Inc.'s order backlog for its
semiconductor test handling equipment grew in the first two quarters of 1997
after falling for most of 1996. Investors have begun to appreciate that M.A.
Hanna's earnings have become increasingly less cyclical in recent years. Many
analysts are expecting earnings growth at America's largest company, General
Electric, to be accelerating. Mercury General is experiencing very strong
growth in auto insurance premiums, Family Dollar Stores continues to do well
with its small-scale and low-priced general merchandise stores, and the much
larger Wal-Mart Stores has benefited from better inventory control and an
expanding international presence.

The prices of several stocks in the portfolio fell during the period despite
the strong market. Wallace Computer Services had lower-than-expected earnings
growth as a result of slower-than-anticipated rollout of the company's
services to new accounts and a slowdown in direct mail business. MMI
Companies (insurance - property/casualty) also reported earnings that were
lower than expected. The company was hurt by a slowdown in medical
malpractice premium growth. We think both of these companies are still very
attractive businesses and, therefore, we purchased additional shares during
the period.

New positions added to the portfolio during the six-month period included
Nike, Inc., Washington Mutual, Inc., Hubbell, Inc. - Class B, Diebold, Inc.,
and American Heritage Life Investment Corp. Nike has become one of the
world's most recognizable brand names; however, a slowdown in its domestic
footwear sales caused its stock to fall to an attractive valuation. Still,
international sales, as well as domestic apparel sales, continue to be very
strong. Washington Mutual is a rapidly growing west coast financial services
company, increasing its dividend for seven consecutive quarters. Hubbell, a
manufacturer of electrical components, increased its dividend for 37 years,
and Diebold -- which makes card-based transaction systems such as automatic
teller machines -- has 43 years of dividend increases. American Heritage Life
specializes in selling life and health insurance through automatic payroll
deductions, and not only has 27 years of consecutive dividend increases but
also has 21 years of increasing operating earnings.

Several positions were eliminated from the portfolio, including C.R. Bard,
Inc., Arnold Industries, Inc., and Loctite Corp. Bard has had difficulty
growing revenues in a very competitive pricing environment, and Arnold
Industries is no longer increasing its dividend. Loctite, a specialty
chemical company, was acquired by another company in January 1997 at a gain
of 37%.

Notable year-over-year dividend increases during the past six months came
from Baldor Electric Co. (+20%), Cohu, Inc. (+20%), Leggett & Platt, Inc.
(+18.2%), Merck & Co. (+23.5%), Mercury General Corp. (+20.8%), Nucor Corp.
(+25%), Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (+28.6%), and Washington Mutual, Inc. (+18.2%).

As shown in the table on page 25, our 10 largest positions on June 30, 1997,
comprised 27% of the portfolio's total net assets. It is interesting to note
how these 10 companies would, in the aggregate, answer the portfolio's
screening criteria based on a simple average of statistical measures. On
average, these 10 companies have raised their dividends 16 years in a row and
by 400% in the last 10 years. Their most recent dividend increases averaged
17.4%, for a yield of 1.4% on June 30, 1997, and a dividend payout ratio of
24%. Long-term debt averaged 23% of capitalization, and the average
price/earnings ratio was 17.7%, versus 19.8% for that of the unmanaged S&P
500 Stock Index on the same date.

We think that these companies are representative of the fundamentally high
quality of the portfolio. We also believe that, over the long haul, companies
that increase cash payments to shareholders, year after year, should be
superior builders of wealth.

Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund
Volatility and uncertainty have been key factors in the world's financial
markets for much of the first half of 1997. The U.S. equity market began the
year at an all-time high, and proceeded to rise and fall. At the same time,
the U.S. dollar rose against most foreign currencies, reducing returns for
U.S. holders of foreign bonds. Since these events affected markets
differently, market selection and currency management were two key factors
impacting the portfolio over the reporting period.

While the U.S. remained our largest portfolio holding (20.1% of total net
assets on June 30, 1997), high stock valuations in this region have brought
us to sell or reduce some of our holdings, particularly financial ones. Among
those equity positions we sold were Citicorp and Lucent Technologies. Within
the European bond markets, we added to our positions in Italy and Sweden,
purchases funded by the May sale of some German bonds.

The picture in our emerging markets exposure has been mixed. Latin America
rebounded sharply in 1997, with Brazil and Argentina posting phenomenal
performance (52.6% and 26.4% six-month total returns, respectively). As a
result, our emerging markets exposure remained relatively unchanged over the
period, with the largest allocations in Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico. On the
other hand, economic deterioration and political turmoil had a detrimental
effect on Asia's share prices. Regardless, we believe that opportunities are
born out of adversity, and we search diligently for overlooked opportunities,
particularly in South Korea, Thailand, and China.

Utility Equity Fund
Although U.S. utility markets were generally weak during the six months under
review, Latin American, European and Asian utility stocks performed
relatively well.

Our U.S. weightings declined slightly over the period (from 82.2% of total
net assets to 81.9%). Investors ignored large segments of the U.S. utility
market due to concerns over changing federal and state regulations. Both the
electric power generation and telecommunications industries experienced
significant deregulatory changes throughout 1996 and into 1997, causing the
average electric utility stock price to increase slightly. Regardless, we
feel that there are select buying opportunities in this market segment and
will continue to look for new investment opportunities.

Overall, our weighting in the foreign markets increased slightly during the
six-month period. We took profits in some European and Asian companies as
several of our holdings in these regions reached our target price range. We
also increased our Latin American position, particularly in electric power as
some governments in this region are trying to privatize this industry in
order to attract the needed technological knowledge and investments.

Looking forward, we believe that the global utility market offers very
attractive equity investment opportunities. In the U.S., high-quality utility
companies with aggressive, entrepreneurial management have been generating
strong earnings growth, and we hold a positive view of the California and
federal attempts at deregulation. Outside the U.S., the ongoing privatization
and deregulation of the utility industry continues to represent, we feel,
high quality investment opportunities with the potential for strong growth
rates and excellent total returns.

Portfolios Seeking Current Income

High Income Fund
Over the six months under review, the portfolio made several industry
allocation changes. We reduced our positions in the automotive and chemical
industries to capitalize on profits made in these somewhat cyclical holdings.
To avoid possible underperformance from an increasingly competitive
environment, we also reduced our cable television exposure.

During the reporting period, we increased our holdings in the broadcasting
and wireless communications industries, mainly to take advantage of rapid
market penetration, deregulation and industry consolidation in these sectors.
Additionally, industry consolidation created positive opportunities to
increase positions in the containers and packaging and the industrial sectors.

Within the wireless communications and telecommunications sectors, Nextel,
Telecom and Millicom performed well. Other strong performers include Collins
& Aikman Products (automotive), Smith's Food & Drug (food retailing), Ralphs
Grocery Co. (food retailing), Algoma Steel (metals & mining), and Mesa
Operating (energy). Mesa benefited substantially from a merger with an
investment grade-rated company, and has itself been upgraded to a Ba2 rating
by Moody's Investors Service.

Looking forward, we expect a favorable outlook for the high yield bond market
assuming we experience ongoing steady economic growth. However, the portfolio
will continue to acquire higher-quality issues, realizing that the growth
phase of the U.S. economy is now in its seventh year. Although we do not see
significant risk of recession on the short-term horizon, we believe that this
is a prudent investment strategy for the long term. Barring significant
fluctuations from moderate growth and low inflation trends in the first half
of 1997, a prosperous outlook remains for the high yield bond market.

Templeton Global Income Securities Fund
During the period under review, interest rates fell in almost all global bond
markets, increasing the value of most global fixed-income securities. At the
same time, however, the U.S. dollar rose against most foreign currencies,
reducing returns for U.S. holders of foreign bonds. Since these events
affected markets differently, market selection and currency management were
two key factors impacting the portfolio over the reporting period.

Responding to fluctuating economic conditions, we remained conservatively
positioned with respect to both interest rate and currency risk. Early in the
period, we reduced our Denmark exposure (from 7.2% of total net assets on
December 31, 1996, to 3.9%), eliminated our Ireland (1.2%) exposure, and
reinvested the proceeds in German and U.S. securities. We eliminated our
position in Japan, as that economy exhibited initial signs of underlying
strength. We also added to our positions in Italy and Sweden, purchases
funded by the May sale of some German bonds.

As of June 30, 1997, the portfolio held approximately 83% of its assets in
intermediate-term securities of dollar bloc countries (the U.S., Australia,
Canada, and dollar-denominated emerging markets), while holding roughly 16%
in intermediate-term European securities. Our emerging markets exposure
remained relatively unchanged over the six-month period, with Brazil,
Argentina and Mexico our largest allocations in this region.

U.S. Government Securities Fund
The U.S. Government Securities Fund holds a diversified portfolio of agency
mortgage and government securities, with holdings of Government National
Mortgage Association (GNMA or "Ginnie Mae") mortgage passthroughs as our
largest positions. Some other portfolio holdings were Federal National
Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(FHLMC) passthroughs and debentures issued by the Financing Corporation
(FICO) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). On June 30, 1997, the fund's
investments consisted of 71.0% of total net assets in mortgage-backed
securities (of which approximately 42.3% were Ginnie Maes), and 28.2% in
other U.S. government and agency securities and short-term investments. Of
course, these holdings may change as market conditions warrant.

As reports of strong economic growth surfaced in the fourth quarter of 1996,
U.S. interest rates -- which had declined between the third quarter and December
1996 -- reversed course and pushed higher. Investors feared that with labor
markets tight, higher growth would continue to push wage growth higher. This
could eventually be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. To no
one's surprise, the Federal Reserve Board nudged the federal funds rate up
slightly at the Open Market Committee meeting in March, citing heightened
inflation risk as the reason behind the quarter-point increase.

The mortgage passthrough market experienced lower prepayment risk as yields
remained higher. This helped the mortgage passthroughs perform well compared
with other government bonds (including U.S. Treasuries) as investors
benefited from the added yield these securities provide.

Over the remainder of 1997, we expect that interest rate volatility will
remain subdued, which will continue to benefit mortgage passthrough
securities. However, overall yield levels may move to the higher end of their
recent trading range as consumer activity and economic growth rebound in the
second half of 1997.

Three Zero Coupon Funds (maturity dates: 2000, 2005, 2010)
Over the course of the first half of 1997, interest rates increased -- but
only slightly. Strong economic growth heightened prospects that inflation
would accelerate; however, by mid-year, there was only scant evidence that
inflation was on the rise. In addition to the continued favorable news on
inflation, the bond markets rallied because of the progress made on reducing
the federal budget deficit.

The Zero Coupon Fund portfolios aim to maintain investments as close to the
target maturities as practically possible. This makes changes in the interest
rates a highly significant factor affecting the unit value of these
portfolios. With four years to maturity in the 2000 portfolio, this portfolio
could possibly experience an approximate 4% swing in value for every 100
basis point (or 1%) swing in interest rates. Likewise, the 2005 fund has the
potential to move up or down approximately 9% for the same swing in interest
rates, and the 2010 may move -- up or down -- 14%.

Naturally, if held to maturity, individual zero coupon bonds will return a
fixed rate. Zero coupon investments, therefore, can be attractive for both
aggressive and risk averse investors. Of course, a managed portfolio of zero
coupon bonds will fluctuate with cash flow in or out of the portfolio, or
vary with market conditions. In each portfolio, we strive to maintain -- at
all times -- a duration within 12 months of the target maturity. We do not try
to time the market; instead, our portfolio activity mirrors shareholder
activity. We make purchases when money flows into the portfolios, and sell
securities to meet redemptions. Additionally, we hold primarily U.S. Treasury
and agency zero coupon and stripped securities, as well as top-rated
corporate securities. We believe this strategy keeps default risk at a
minimum.

Portfolio Seeking Capital Preservation and Income

Money Market Fund
Strong economic growth coupled with mild inflation characterized most of the
period under review. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997, was 5.9% -- considerably above the Federal Reserve
Board's (the Fed's) targeted long-term growth rate of 2.5%. Moreover,
unemployment levels trended down to 4.8%, the lowest level experienced in 25
years. In spite of the blistering economic growth, inflation indicators
remained relatively low. However, the Fed responded preemptively to the
potential for higher prices by increasing the federal funds rate on March 25.
In response to this rise, most other short-term rates also rose slightly
during the period.

Since we maintained a relatively neutral weighted average maturity during the
six-month reporting period, the portfolio's seven-day yield reflected the
rise in short-term rates. Our seven-day yield began the period at 5.04% and
ended at 5.18%.

We continue to invest the portfolio's assets in securities that are among the
highest quality available to money market portfolios. Since the portfolio's
objective is to provide shareholders with a high quality conservative
investment, we do not invest in leveraged derivative or other potentially
volatile securities that we believe involve undue risk.

Looking forward, we feel the economy is in the later stages of the current
business cycle. Growth should continue to result from higher private
consumption, capital spending, and improving foreign economies. However, we
expect these forces -- coupled with a tight labor market -- could jeopardize
the current, benign inflation picture. As a result, the Fed may be compelled
to raise short-term rates further.

The Money Market Fund's relatively short-weighted average maturity should
position the portfolio effectively for this type of interest rate
environment. As interest rates rise, we should be able to reinvest the
portfolio's securities at a faster rate due to the relatively short overall
maturity.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Franklin Valuemark Funds (the Trust) is an open-end, management investment
company (mutual fund) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Trust currently consists of twenty-three separate funds (the
Funds), all of which are diversified except for the Templeton Global Income
Securities Fund. Each of the Funds issues a separate series of the Trust's
shares and maintains a totally separate investment portfolio. Shares of the
Funds are sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits
of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by
Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life), which was
formerly North American Life and Casualty Company (NALAC), and its affiliates.
The investment objectives of each Fund are as follows:

</TABLE>

The Capital Growth Fund and the Templeton International Smaller Companies Fund
became effective on May 1, 1996, and the Mutual Shares Securities Fund and the
Mututal Discovery Securities Fund became effective November 8, 1996.

Effective May 1, 1997, the name of the Precious Metals Fund changed to the
Natural Resources Fund. Before May 1, 1997, the portfolio had different
investment objectives and policies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies.

a. Security Valuation:

Portfolio securities listed on a securities exchange or on the NASDAQ for which
market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or, if
there is no sale price, within the range of the most recent quoted bid and asked
prices. Other securities are valued based on a variety of factors, including
yield, risk, maturity, trade activity and recent developments related to the
securities. Portfolio securities which are traded both in the over-the-counter
market and on a securities exchange are valued according to the broadest and
most representative market as determined by the investment manager. The Trust
may utilize a pricing service, bank or broker/dealer experienced in such matters
to perform any of the pricing functions, under procedures approved by the Board
of Trustees (the Board). Securities for which market quotations are not
available, and securities restricted as to resale, are valued in accordance with
procedures established by the Board.

The value of a foreign security is determined as of the earlier of the close of
trading on the foreign exchange on which it is traded or the close of trading on
the New York Stock Exchange. That value is then converted into its U.S. dollar
equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at noon, New York time, on the
day the value of the foreign security is determined. If no sale is reported at
that time, the mean between the current bid and asked prices is used.
Occasionally, events which affect the values of foreign securities and foreign
exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the
close of the exchange and will, therefore, not be reflected in the computation
of the Fund's net asset value, unless material. If events which materially
affect the value of these foreign securities occur during such period, these
securities will be valued in accordance with procedures established by the
Board.

Portfolio securities in the Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost,
which approximates value. The Fund must maintain a dollar weighted average
maturity of 90 days or less and only purchase instruments having remaining
maturities of 397 days or less. If the Fund's portfolio has a remaining weighted
average maturity of greater than 90 days, the portfolio will be stated at value
based on recorded closing sales on a national securities exchange or, in the
absence of a recorded sale, within the range of the most recent quoted bid and
asked prices. The Board has established procedures designed to stabilize, to the
extent reasonably possible, the Fund's price per share as computed for the
purpose of sales and redemptions at $1.00.

b. Income Taxes:

The Funds intend to continue to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to
regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code and to make the
requisite distributions to shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve the
Funds from income taxes. Each Fund is treated as a separate entity in the
determination of compliance with the Internal Revenue Code.

c. Security Transactions:

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased
or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are
determined on the basis of specific identification.

d. Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions:

Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily.
Original issue discount is amortized as required by the Internal Revenue Code.

For the Money Market Fund, net investment income includes income, calculated on
an accrual basis, and estimated expenses which are accrued daily. The total
available for distribution is computed daily and includes the net investment
income, plus or minus any gains or losses on security transactions and any
changes in unrealized portfolio appreciation or depreciation. Distributions are
normally declared each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business,
equal to the total available for distributions (as defined above), and are
payable to shareholders of record as of the close of business the preceding day.
Such distributions are automatically reinvested daily in additional shares of
the Fund at net asset value.

A portion of the distributions received from investments in Real Estate
Investment Trust (REIT) securities may be characterized as tax basis return of
capital (ROC) distributions, which are not recorded as dividend income, but
reduce the cost basis of the REIT securities. ROC distributions exceeding the
cost basis of the REIT security are recognized by the Funds as capital gain.

Net investment income differs for financial statement and tax purposes primarily
due to tax basis mark to market of unrealized gains with respect to differing
treatments of foreign currency transactions and defaulted securities - see Note
7.

Net realized capital gains and losses differ for financial statement and tax
purposes primarily due to tax basis mark to market of unrealized gains with
respect to differing treatments of wash sale and foreign currency transactions.

e. Accounting Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

f. Expense Allocation:

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. In all other
respects, expenses are charged to each Fund as incurred on a specific
identification basis.

g. Foreign Currency Translation:

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S.
dollars at the rate of exchange of the currencies against U.S. dollars on the
valuation date. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are
translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the day that the transactions are
recorded. Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected
or paid are recognized when reported by the custodian.

g. Foreign Currency Translation: (cont.)

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising
from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included
with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of
short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, gains or losses realized
between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, the difference
between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes
recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts
actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on
translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise
from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in
securities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in
exchange rates.

h. Repurchase Agreements:

The Funds may enter into a joint repurchase agreement whereby their uninvested
cash balances are deposited into a joint cash account to be used to invest in
one or more repurchase agreements with government securities dealers recognized
by the Federal Reserve Board and/or member banks of the Federal Reserve System.
The value and face amount of the joint repurchase agreement are allocated to the
Funds based on their pro-rata interest. A repurchase agreement is accounted for
as a loan by the Fund to the seller, collateralized by underlying U.S.
government securities, which are delivered to the Fund's custodian. The market
value, including accrued interest, of the initial collateralization is required
to be at least 102% of the dollar amount invested by the Funds, with the value
of the underlying securities marked to market daily to maintain coverage of at
least 100%. At June 30, 1997, all outstanding repurchase agreements held by the
Funds, had been entered into on that date.

i. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis:

The Funds may trade securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, with
payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions are subject
to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery
may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Funds will
generally purchase these securities with the intention of holding the
securities, they may sell the securities before the settlement date. These
securities are identified on the accompanying Statement of Investments in
Securities and Net Assets. The Funds have set aside sufficient investment
securities as collateral for these purchase commitments.

j. Mortgage Dollar Rolls:

The U.S. Government Securities Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in
which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously contracts to
repurchase substantially similar, but not identical, securities on a specified
future date, generally at a price lower than the price of the security sold. The
counterparty receives all principal and interest payments, including
prepayments, made on the mortgage-backed security sold while it is the holder.
Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed with a new sale and repurchase price fixed
and a cash settlement made without physical delivery of the securities subject
to the contract, at the renewal date. Mortgage dollar rolls are accounted
for as collateralized financing transactions.


2. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A forward currency contract, which is individually negotiated and privately
traded by currency traders and their customers, is a commitment to purchase or
sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date.

The Mutual Discovery Securities Fund, Mutual Shares Securities Fund, Templeton
Global Asset Allocation Fund, and Templeton Global Income Securities Fund may
enter into forward contracts with the objective of minimizing the risk to the
Funds from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies or to enhance
fund value. The Funds may also enter into a forward contract in relation to a
security denominated in a foreign currency or when they anticipate receipt in a
foreign currency of dividends or interest payments in order to "lock in" the
U.S. dollar price of a security or the U.S. dollar equivalent of such dividend
or interest payments.

Any gain or loss realized from a forward foreign currency contract is recorded
as a realized gain or loss from investments.

Each Fund segregates in its custodian bank sufficient cash, cash equivalents or
readily marketable debt securities as collateral for commitments created by open
forward contracts. The Funds could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the
contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the
foreign currency changes unfavorably.

As of June 30, 1997, the Mutual Discovery Securities Fund had the following
forward foreign currency contracts outstanding:

7. CREDIT RISK AND DEFAULTED SECURITIES

The High Income Fund, the Income Securities Fund, the Mutual Discovery
Securities Fund, and the Mutual Shares Securities Fund have 87.9%, 42.5%, 1.1%,
and 1.3%, respectively, of their portfolios invested in lower rated and
comparable quality unrated securities. Investments in high yield securities are
accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk and such lower rated securities
tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities.
The risk of loss due to default by the issuer may be significantly greater for
the holders of high yield securities, because such securities are generally
unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.

At June 30, 1997 the Income Securities Fund held two defaulted securities with a
value aggregating $6,175,000, representing .45% of the Fund's net assets. For
information as to the specific securities, see the accompanying Statement of
Investments in Securities and Net Assets.

For financial reporting purposes, it is the Fund's accounting practice to
discontinue accrual of income and provide an estimate for probable losses due to
unpaid interest income on defaulted bonds for the current reporting period.

There are certain credit risks, foreign currency exchange risk, or event risk
due to the manner in which certain Funds are invested, which may subject the
Funds more significantly to economic changes occurring in certain industries or
sectors as follows:

The High Income Fund has investments in excess of 10% of its net assets in Cable
Television and Wireless Communication.

The Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund has investments in excess of 10% of
its net assets in Mexico.

The Templeton International Equity Fund has investments in excess of 10% of its
net assets in United Kingdom.

The Templeton International Smaller Companies Fund has investments in excess of
10% of its net assets in Hong Kong.

The Templeton Pacific Growth Fund has investments in excess of 10% of its net
assets in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore.


8. HOLDINGS OF 5% VOTING SECURITIES OF PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

Investments in portfolio issuers, 5% or more of whose outstanding voting
securities are held by any of the Funds, are defined in the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as affiliated companies. The Real Estate Securities Fund and Rising
Dividends Fund had investments in such affiliated companies at June 30, 1997,
with a value in the amount of $5,443,750 and $15,395,463, respectively. See the
accompanying Statement of Investments in Securities and Net Assets for specific
information on such securities.


9. RESTRICTED SECURITIES

A restricted security is a security which has not been registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. The
Funds may purchase restricted securities through a private offering and they
cannot be sold without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933
unless such sale is pursuant to an exemption therefrom. Subsequent costs of
registration of such securities are borne by the issuer. A secondary market
exists for certain privately placed securities. The Funds value these restricted
securities as disclosed in Note 1(a). At June 30, 1997, the Funds held
restricted securities as follows:

investment of the cash collateral received was $815 for the period ended June

required cash collateral was received by the Small Cap Fund on July 10, 1997.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

In the U.S.: Up, up and away?

A growing sense of nervousness from market participants and the Federal
Reserve Board (the Fed) shadowed the market's seemingly untethered rise, and
accompanying volatility, over the six-month period. The question on
everyone's mind: "How high can the market go?" The Dow Jones(R) Industrial
Average gained roughly 1200 points during the reporting period, pushing
through the 7000-point mark for the first time, in mid-February 1997. Strong
economic growth (first quarter GDP posted an annualized rate of 5.8%),
combined with the stock market's meteoric rise, prompted some degree of
caution on the part of the Fed. The chief topic on Wall Street was whether
the Federal Open Market Committee would increase the federal funds rate.

To no one's surprise, the Fed nudged the federal funds rate higher at its
March meeting, citing heightened inflation risk as the reason behind the
quarter-point increase. And while the market experienced a roughly 10%
correction, stock prices rebounded sharply by the end of the six months under
review, a move that could be viewed as encouraging.

The economy remains interest-rate sensitive, reacting quickly to any changes.
While expanding economic growth and increased interest rates went
hand-in-hand in the first quarter of 1997, the economy appears to be slowing
slightly, with interest rates trending downward by the end of the reporting
period.


And in the foreign markets...
Many European stocks also appreciated in value as companies there generated
healthy profits due to privatization, restructuring and cost-reduction
programs. Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain and Denmark were among the
region's best-performing equity markets. Although European equity markets
were strong, their fixed-income markets didn't fare as well. The U.S. dollar
rose against most foreign currencies, reducing returns for U.S. holders of
foreign bonds.

Emerging markets generally experienced substantial gains during the reporting
period, with Latin America, in particular, delivering stellar returns. For
example, Brazil's Bovespa Index soared 86% and Mexico's Bolsa Index surged
33%, as measured in U.S. dollars.1 Asian developing markets, however,
provided mixed results: The Hong Kong and Chinese markets rose, while those
in Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines declined.

Outlook for the Second Half

Interest rates will probably continue to fluctuate as the Fed looks for signs of
increasing inflationary pressures and other indicators to determine if
additional action is necessary. And while further Fed action could lead to some
volatility in the domestic markets, we have yet to see any major changes in the
economy. It is important to remember, however, that markets correct -- in our
opinion, it is desirable for them to do so. The quarter-point increase in the
federal funds rate may be a precursor of one or two more adjustments before the
year ends. Large federal budget deficits are still too fresh in investors'
memories, and apparently much attention is directed toward keeping the budget in
close balance. We feel, therefore, that the economy should not see much higher
rates in the near term -- certainly not like those experienced during 1994.

*The unit prices have been rounded to the nearest hundredth. Percent change
is calculated using actual unit prices.
++Effective May 1, 1997, the Precious Metals Fund's name changed to the
Natural Resources Securities Fund.
Note: The unit value is the total value of assets of the sub-account (which is
equal to the portfolio's net assets), minus the daily variable account charges
with a charge or credit for reserved taxes, and then divided by the total number
of units. It does not reflect the contingent deferred sales charge that declines
from 5% to 0% over five full years, or the annual contract maintenance charge;
if these were included, values would be lower. Investment returns and the value
of your principal will vary with market conditions, so you may have a gain or
loss when you sell your units. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.

The above figures represent the average annual change in value, assuming
reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Performance shown reflects all
charges, including the annual contract maintenance charge and applicable
contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC). The CDSC reduces from 5% to 0% over
five full years for each purchase payment and is adjusted for the applicable
withdrawal/surrender privilege. Averaged returns smooth out variations in a
portfolio's returns, which can be significant; they are not the same as
year-by-year results. For periods of less than one year, aggregate total
returns are shown. The sub-account results are based on past performance of
the portfolios. The portfolios may have started before the sub-accounts,
contracts, or their availability in all states. Investment returns and the
value of your principal will vary with market conditions, so you may have a
gain or loss when you sell your units. Past performance cannot predict or
guarantee future results.

*Past and present expense reductions by the manager increased total return;
this agreement may be discontinued at any time.
**The manager will keep total expenses to 0.40% or less of the portfolios'
net assets through 1997, which increases returns.

PORTFOLIO OBJECTIVES AND RISKS

A Word About Risk

All of the portfolios are subject to certain risks. Generally, investments
offering the potential for higher returns are accompanied by a higher degree
of risk. Stocks, and other equities representing an ownership interest in a
corporation, have historically outperformed other asset classes over the long
term, but tend to fluctuate more dramatically over the shorter term. Bonds
and other debt obligations are affected by changes in interest rates and the
creditworthiness of their issuers. High yield, lower-rated ("junk") bonds
generally have greater price swings and higher default risks. Foreign
investing, especially in developing countries, has additional risks such as
changes in currency values, market price swings, and political or social
instability. These and other risks to which particular portfolios may be
subject -- such as specialized industry sectors or use of complex securities --
are discussed in the prospectus.

Portfolios Seeking Capital Growth

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Portfolio             Description

<S>                   <C>
Capital Growth Fund   Seeks capital appreciation with current income as a secondary
                      consideration. The portfolio invests primarily in
                      equity securities, including common stocks and securities
                      convertible into common stocks.

Mutual Discovery      Seeks capital appreciation by investing in U.S. and foreign
Securities Fund       equity securities, including common and preferred stocks and
                      securities convertible into common stocks, as well as debt
                      obligations of any quality. The portfolio also seeks to invest
                      in securities of domestic and foreign companies involved in
                      mergers, consolidations, liquidations and reorganizations or
                      as to which there exist tender or exchange offers, and may
                      participate in such transactions.

Natural Resources     Seeks capital appreciation through concentration of its
Securities            investments in securities of issuers that produce, refine,
Fund*(Formerly        process, or market natural resources as well as those that
Precious Metals       provide support services for natural resources companies. The
Fund)`                portfolio's secondary objective is to provide current income
                      return through the receipt of dividends or interest from its
                      investments.

*Effective May 1, 1997, the Precious Metals Fund's name changed to the
Natural Resources Securities Fund.

Small Cap Fund        Seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal market
                      conditions, the portfolio invests primarily in equity
                      securities of small capitalization growth companies. The
                      portfolio may also invest in foreign securities, which involve
                      special risks. Small company securities may have greater price
                      swings than mid-sized or large company securities.

Portfolios Seeking Capital Growth (cont.)


Portfolio             Description

Templeton Developing  Seeks long-term capital appreciation. The portfolio seeks to
Markets Equity Fund   achieve this objective by investing primarily in equity
                      securities of issuers in countries having developing markets
                      operating under normal market conditions. The portfolio is
                      subject to special and higher risks related to foreign
                      developing markets, including changes in currency values,
                      market price swings, and economic, social, and political
                      developments in the countries where the portfolio is invested
                      and the relatively smaller size and lesser liquidity of those
                      markets.

Templeton Global      Seeks long-term capital growth; any income realized will be
Growth Fund           incidental. The portfolio seeks to achieve its objective
                      through a flexible policy of investing in stocks and debt
                      obligations of companies and governments of any nation,
                      including developing markets operating under normal market
                      conditions. Investments in foreign securities involve special
                      risks including changes in currency values, market price
                      swings, and economic, social, and political developments in
                      the countries where the portfolio is invested. Developing
                      markets involve similar but higher risks related to the
                      smaller size and lesser liquidity of those markets.

Templeton             Seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal market
International Equity  conditions, the portfolio will invest at least 65% of its
Fund                  total assets in an internationally diversified portfolio of
                      equity securities. These equity securities will trade on
                      markets in countries other than the U.S., including developing
                      markets, and be issued by companies domiciled in countries
                      other than the U.S., or companies that derive at least 50% of
                      either their revenues or pre-tax income from activities
                      outside the U.S. Investments in foreign securities involve
                      special risks including changes in currency values, market
                      price swings, and economic, social, and political developments
                      in the countries where the portfolio is invested. Developing
                      markets involve similar but higher risks related to the
                      smaller size and lesser liquidity of those markets.

Smaller Companies     securities of smaller companies outside the U.S., including
Fund                  developing markets operating under normal market conditions.
                      Investments in foreign securities involve special risks
                      including changes in currency values, market price swings, and
                      economic, social, and political developments in the countries
                      where the portfolio is invested. Developing markets involve
                      similar but higher risks related to the smaller size and
                      lesser liquidity of those markets. Small company securities
                      may have greater price swings than mid-sized or larger company
                      securities.

Templeton Pacific     Seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal conditions, the
Growth Fund           portfolio will invest at least 65% of its assets in equity
                      securities which trade on markets in the Pacific Rim,
                      including developing markets, and which are issued by
                      companies domiciled in the Pacific Rim or companies that
                      derived at least 50% of either their revenues or pre-tax
                      income from activities in the Pacific Rim. For purposes of the
                      portfolio's 65% investment policy, the countries in the
                      Pacific Rim include Australia, China, Hong Kong, India,
                      Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, the
                      Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. The portfolio invests
                      primarily in a single geographical region of largely
                      developing foreign markets and could experience significant
                      changes in share price in any given year.

Portfolios Seeking Growth and Income

Portfolio             Description

Growth and Income     Seeks capital appreciation. The portfolio's secondary
Fund                  objective is to provide current income return. The portfolio
                      pursues capital appreciation by investing primarily in
                      domestic common stocks, securities convertible into common
                      stocks and preferred stocks.

Income Securities     Seeks to maximize income while maintaining prospects for
Fund                  capital appreciation. The portfolio will pursue its objective
                      by investing in a diversified portfolio of domestic and
                      foreign (including developing markets) debt obligations, which
                      may include high yield, high risk, lower-rated bonds, as well
                      as equity securities, selected with particular consideration
                      of current income production along with capital appreciation.
                      Lower-rated and similar non-rated securities, commonly known
                      as "junk bonds," have higher credit risks and may have greater
                      price movements. Foreign securities involve special risks,
                      including currency fluctuations and political uncertainty;
                      developing markets involve higher risks.

Mutual Shares         Seeks capital appreciation with income as a secondary
Securities Fund       objective by investing in U.S. and foreign equity securities,
                      including common and preferred stocks and securities
                      convertible into common stocks, as well as debt obligations of
                      any quality. The portfolio also seeks to invest in securities
                      of domestic and foreign companies involved in mergers,
                      consolidations, liquidations and reorganizations or as to
                      which there exist tender or exchange offers, and may
                      participate in such transactions.

Real Estate           Seeks capital appreciation, with a secondary objective of
Securities Fund       earning current income on its investments. The portfolio
                      pursues its principal objective by concentrating in securities
                      of companies in the real estate industry, primarily equity
                      real estate investment trusts (REITs). By investing primarily
                      in a single industry, the portfolio will be affected more by
                      the unfavorable developments or market downturns in that
                      industry sector than would a portfolio that invests in a wide
                      variety of industries.

Rising Dividends Fund Seeks capital appreciation and current income incidental to
                      capital appreciation. In seeking capital appreciation, the
                      portfolio invests with a long-term investment horizon.
                      Preservation of capital, while not an objective, is also an
                      important consideration. The portfolio seeks to achieve its
                      investment objectives by investing, as a fundamental policy,
                      at least 65% of its net assets in financially sound companies
                      that have paid consistently rising dividends based on the
                      investment philosophy that the securities of such companies,
                      because of their dividend record, have a strong potential to
                      increase in value.

Portfolios Seeking Growth and Income (cont.)

Portfolio             Description

Templeton Global      Seeks a high level of total return through a flexible policy
Asset Allocation Fund of investing in the following market segments: equity
                      securities of issuers of any nation, debt obligations of
                      companies and governments of any nation, and money market
                      instruments. The mix of investments among these three market
                      segments will be adjusted in an attempt to capitalize on total
                      return potential produced by changing economic conditions
                      throughout the world. Investments in foreign securities
                      involve special risks including changes in currency values,
                      market price swings, and economic, social, and political
                      developments in the countries where the portfolio is invested.
                      Developing markets involve similar but higher risks related to
                      the smaller size and lesser liquidity of those markets.

Utility Equity Fund   Seeks both capital appreciation and current income by
                      concentrating investments in the securities of companies in
                      the public utilities industry. The portfolio pursues its
                      objective by investing, under normal conditions, at least 65%
                      of the portfolio's total assets in securities of issuers
                      engaged in the public utilities industry, which includes the
                      manufacture, production, generation, transmission and sale of
                      gas and electric energy and water. Assets may also be invested
                      in issuers engaged in the communications field, including
                      entities such as telephone, telegraph, satellite, microwave
                      and other companies providing communication facilities for the
                      public benefit. The portfolio may also invest in foreign
                      securities, which involve special risk considerations,
                      including currency fluctuations and political uncertainty;
                      developing markets involve heightened risks. Because the
                      portfolio may invest in relatively few issuers, changes in the
                      value of a particular issuer, interest rate movements, changes
                      in currency values and other risks of foreign investing may
                      have a greater effect on the portfolio's results.

Portfolios Seeking Current Income

Portfolio             Description

High Income Fund      Seeks a high level of current return. As a secondary
                      objective, the portfolio seeks capital appreciation to the
                      extent consistent with its principal objective. The portfolio
                      may invest in both debt obligations and dividend-paying common
                      or preferred stocks, including high risk securities, and will
                      seek to invest in whatever type of investment is offering the
                      highest yield and expected total return without excessive risk
                      at the time of purchase. Lower-rated and similar non-rated
                      securities, commonly known as "junk bonds," have higher credit
                      risks and may have greater price movements.

Templeton Global      Seeks high current income, consistent with preservation of
Income Securities     capital, with capital appreciation as a secondary
Fund                  consideration. The portfolio will pursue its objectives by
                      investing at least 65% of its net assets in both domestic and
                      foreign debt obligations including those in developing markets
                      and related foreign currency transactions. The portfolio may
                      invest in relatively few issuers; therefore, changes in the
                      value of a particular issuer, interest rate movements, changes
                      in currency values and other special risks of foreign
                      investment may have a greater effect on the portfolio's
                      results.

U.S. Government       Seeks to earn income through investments in a portfolio
Securities Fund       limited to securities which are obligations of the U.S.
                      government, its agencies or instrumentalities. These
                      obligations may include fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage
                      backed securities. Individual securities, but not shares of
                      the portfolio, are guaranteed by the U.S. government as to
                      timely payment of principal and interest.

                      portfolio seeks to re- turn a reasonably assured targeted
                      dollar amount, predictable at the time of investment, on a
                      specific target date in the future by investing primarily in
                      zero coupon securities that pay no cash income but are
                      acquired by the portfolio at substantial discounts from their
                      value at maturity. In response to interest rate changes, zero
                      coupon securities may experience greater changes in market
                      value than interest- paying securities of similar maturity.
                      The portfolios may not be appropriate for short-term investors
                      or those who intend to withdraw money before the maturity date.

Portfolio Seeking Preservation of Capital and Income

Portfolio             Description

Money Market Fund     Seeks to obtain as high a level of current income (in the
                      context of the type of investment available to the portfolio)
                      consistent with capital preservation and liquidity. An
                      investment is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
                      government. The portfolio will seek to maintain a $1 per share
                      net asset value, but there is no guarantee that it will be
                      successful in doing so.

PORTFOLIO SUMMARIES


Portfolios Seeking Capital Growth

Capital Growth Fund

Volatility returned to the domestic equity markets in 1997, with the Standard &
Poor's(R) 500 (S&P 500(R)) index experiencing moves of 1% or more -- up and down
- -- throughout approximately two-thirds of the trading days in the first half of
the year. While such volatility may cause consternation among investors, to us
it presents opportunities to buy securities of good companies that are currently
out of favor. During times like these, many portfolio managers feel compelled to
take some course of action, increasing portfolio turnover and further
contributing to exaggerated stock price movements. Sometimes, we believe the
best course of action during periods of volatility is to just sit tight with
one's investments.

It was with this low turnover philosophy that the Capital Growth Fund
portfolio was originally created -- to try to identify what we believe are
solid companies with promising growth prospects, and buy and hold them for
the long term. The portfolio consists of what we consider good quality growth
companies, generally large-cap and mid-cap (greater than $1 billion) stocks.
Our aim is not to achieve wealth overnight, but rather provide investors with
the potential for consistent growth over time.

On June 30, 1997, the portfolio held stocks of 79 companies across a diverse
group of industries, including software, finance, energy, data networking,
healthcare, semiconductors, and consumer products, to name a few. Such broad
diversity can help to mitigate the fluctuations attendant with the stock
market's volatility.

Our expectation is that the market will continue to experience greater
volatility in the coming years versus the reduced volatility over the last
several years. In part, this is due to concerns for sustained earnings growth
of individual companies. It is our belief that the S&P 500 will not produce
double-digit earnings growth again this year or next. In such an environment
of slowing corporate profit growth, solid stable growth companies -- such as
those your portfolio seeks to invest in -- are sought by investors. As growth
warrants a premium in the market due to its scarcity, investors tend to push
the prices of such growth stocks higher -- a condition which we believe should
benefit many of your portfolio holdings.

Mutual Discovery Securities Fund
The Mutual Discovery Securities Fund seeks capital appreciation, with income
as a secondary objective, by investing in domestic and foreign equity
securities. These include common and preferred stocks, securities convertible
into common stocks, as well as debt obligations of any quality. On June 30,
1997, 70.4% of the portfolio's assets were invested in equity securities,
2.3% in fixed-income securities, and the remaining 27.3% in short-term and
other securities. Of course, these holdings will change as conditions warrant.

When an index such as the S&P 500 is up 20.06% in the first six months of
1997, some might ask, "why not just throw in the towel and own an index
fund?" The answer is basic: We believe that our value approach is the best
way to achieve consistent, long-term appreciation with low risk and low
volatility. The mix of our businesses -- cheap stocks, "special situations"
such as mergers and spinoffs, and bankruptcies -- is intended to provide the
best risk-adjusted returns in a wide variety of market conditions.

Our most recent efforts to find value in these markets included buying stakes
in a number of energy companies, including in the oil service business and on
the exploration and production side. We also found good value in selected
healthcare names, some of which have come down in price due to short-term
dislocations. Strong merger and acquisition activity is also providing some
good investment opportunities. Many foreign stocks are still attractive to
us, and though the larger capitalization names are generally less compelling
than they were a year or two ago, we believe opportunities in the smaller
capitalization companies are still plentiful.

Natural Resources Securities Fund (formerly Precious Metals Fund)
On May 1, 1997, the Precious Metals Fund's investment objective changed,
broadening its industry concentration policy to companies in natural
resources industries -- thereby creating the Natural Resources Securities
Fund. The portfolio seeks capital appreciation, with current income as a
secondary objective, by now investing in the equity securities of domestic
and foreign companies in or related to the natural resources sector.

On June 30, 1997, 93.7% of the portfolio's total net assets were invested in
equity securities, 1.3% in convertible corporate bonds, and 5.0% in
short-term and other assets. Companies in the gold and precious metals sector
remain our largest weighting at 59.1%, down from 79.5% on May 1, 1997. In
accordance with the portfolio's new objective, we continue to selectively
reallocate assets to various other natural resources sectors, including
energy, base metals, paper & forest products, steel, and chemicals.

GRAPHIC MATERIAL 1 OMITTED - SEE APPENDIX AT END OF DOCUMENT

New positions in the energy sector include exploration and production
companies with the potential for above-average growth in reserves and
production. Barrett Resources, Newfield Exploration and Nuevo Energy were
among this sector's companies where we found good investment opportunities.
Additionally, we found oilfield services and equipment companies that have
benefited from current strong demand and high utilization rates, including
newly purchased Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. and Transocean Offshore, Inc.
- -- two leading offshore drilling rig operators globally. Strong growth in
worldwide hydrocarbon demand combined with modest supply provides a positive
outlook for energy fundamentals over the next several years.

The price of gold bullion declined further during the reporting period,
dropping below $340 per ounce -- negatively impacting the portfolio's holdings
in the precious metals sector. In spite of positive physical demand, the
continued Central Bank selling, strong equity markets and an overall lack of
inflation adversely affected investor sentiment. Short-side and aggressive
options selling also combined to further depress the gold price. On a
protracted basis, we view the resilient physical demand (especially from
developing countries) and long-term supply consistency as attractive and,
therefore, remain optimistic that gold should appreciate in value.

Looking forward, we continue to focus on highly profitable companies with
skilled management, strong growth profiles and solid financials. We will look
for companies that should prosper throughout economic cycles, and thus
identify those companies we believe have sustainable advantages either
through strategic asset bases or technological expertise.

Small Cap Fund
The six-month period under review proved to be favorable for equity
investors, although larger capitalization stocks outperformed their small cap
counterparts. In part due to concerns about market volatility, the Franklin
Small Cap Fund portfolio underperformed during the first quarter of 1997
before turning in strong results in the second quarter. Our second quarter
performance was spurred by the continued strength of the U.S. economy,
coupled with lack of inflationary pressure. These economic conditions helped
prevent a meaningful rise in interest rates and provided a favorable backdrop
for equity markets in general.

During the period, we looked for small companies in their emerging growth
phase, focusing on those corporations we believe have an identifiable and
sustainable competitive advantage. Such an advantage often leads to superior
revenue and earnings growth. Our research uncovered attractive investments in
a variety of industries, and the portfolio's performance was aided by our
holdings in the energy, technology and healthcare sectors.

We remain bullish on the prospects for the energy sector, which benefited
from a favorable supply-and-demand relationship. In the second quarter of
this year, we added to several of our positions in this sector, including
Varco International, Inc., a leading maker of drilling equipment. The
technology sector experienced volatility throughout most of the reporting
period, and we took advantage of this to selectively initiate several new
positions and add to several existing names. Among the new positions in the
portfolio is Electronic Arts Inc., a leading developer of entertainment
software.

We remain optimistic about the prospects for small cap stocks, despite the
recent large cap bias of the market. In our opinion, small cap stocks are
attractively valued relative to the overall market, and the growing economy
and apparent lack of inflationary pressure should create an environment
conducive to the prosperity of small cap companies.

Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund
On June 30, 1997, the portfolio was invested in 414 individual emerging
market equity securities, among 32 industry sectors and 23 countries, with
Brazil as the largest country holding (12.2% of total net assets), followed
by Mexico (11.3%) and Argentina (8.2%). We think the current geographic
breadth of the portfolio helps minimize risk, thereby reducing the volatility
of the returns on the portfolio while still maintaining the prospects for
strong performance.

The first six months of 1997 saw substantial gains in developing market
equity prices, underpinned by strong economic fundamentals and high capital
inflows from developed market countries. As in 1996, the Latin America region
was the star performer this reporting period. A combination of improved
macroeconomic management, cyclical economic recovery and an improved export
position drove equity prices higher throughout the region, particularly in
Brazil -- which realized unrelenting gains. The Asian region experienced mixed
performance during the six-month period, with many countries suffering from
oversupply in key sectors and a cyclical decline in exports. Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore and Thailand were among the hardest hit.

Looking forward, we believe that Asia's exports are likely to recover over
the remainder of the year and into 1998, driven primarily by increased demand
from the U.S. and Europe. A significant rebound in Asian exports would help
economies grow faster and bolster some of the more moribund stock markets in
that region, particularly South Korea and Thailand. We already detect signs
of a cyclical recovery in Asia's export market.

World demand for emerging market securities is its strongest since the 1960s,
and inventory levels in the U.S. and other countries are low in general. This
should benefit exporters in Latin America and Europe as well as Asia. Despite
positive growth in the first half of 1997, we believe developing markets as a
whole still represent good value.

Templeton Global Growth Fund
Volatility and uncertainty were key factors in the world's financial markets
for the first six months of 1997. The U.S. equity market started the year at
an all-time high, and continued, although the trend was not smooth. In North
America -- and the U.S., in particular -- strong economic growth with
surprisingly modest inflation confounded experts, and the ebb and flow of
interest rates reintroduced volatility in the markets. Stock valuations --
whether price/book or price/earnings -- stretched relative to five- and
ten-year averages and, in some cases, are at unprecedented levels. As
valuations rose for many U.S. stocks, we sold or trimmed some of our holdings
in this region. Among those we reduced or sold were Lucent Technologies,
Highwood Properties, Inc., and IBM.

Because we found what we consider new bargains and opportunities, Europe
remained a significant geographic weighting for us (34.0% of total net
assets). During the six months under review, many European companies
generated strong profits due to privatization, restructuring, and
cost-reduction programs. Most stock markets rose as government efforts to
meet standards for membership in the European Monetary Union (EMU) led to
improved fiscal and monetary policies and lower interest rates. The results
of the French election introduced a new element of uncertainty over the EMU,
where privatization and corporate rationalization could become more difficult
under a socialist government. Nonetheless, careful stock picking and analysis
of companies during times of macro-economic confusion has rewarded our
investors in the past, though past performance cannot guarantee future
results.

The U.K. in particular appeared to swallow the tough medicine of reforming
its labor markets, deregulating its financial markets, and privatizing
state-owned enterprises. As a result, we analyzed an increasing number of
British companies, primarily because of valuations and -- secondarily --
because we think long-term managements there seemingly have to overcome fewer
hurdles to deliver value.

The picture in our emerging markets exposure was mixed. Latin America
rebounded sharply in 1997, with Brazil and Argentina posting phenomenal
performances (52.6% and 26.4% six-month total returns, respectively). On the
other hand, economic deterioration and political turmoil detrimentally
affected Asia's share prices. Regardless, we believe that opportunities are
born out of adversity, and we search diligently for overlooked opportunities
in South Korea, Thailand and China.

Japan, Asia's largest developed market, experienced mixed performance so far
in 1997. We have redoubled our efforts to ensure that we will be in a
position to act when valuations drop to a level where more Japanese companies
qualify as bargains under our criteria.

Templeton International Equity Fund
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the strength of the portfolio's
emerging markets holdings as well as good stock selection bolstered our
overall performance. At period end, the portfolio's largest country
allocations were the U.K. (14.1% of total net assets), Sweden (9.3%), and
Netherlands (7.8%). We allowed our cash position to rise somewhat (from 12%
to 15.1%) to be prepared for any future market weakness.

After several years of underperfomance, the world's developing markets have
rebounded and we were able to uncover many bargain-priced securities in these
areas, most notably in Latin American countries, where we think fundamentals
improved as these nations adapt to capitalist economies. Our Brazilian
holdings -- including telephone company Telebras, steelmaker Companhia
Siderurgica Nacional, ADR (CSN) and banking giant Bradesco -- performed well.

Our European stock holdings also aided the portfolio's performance in early
1997. Sweden, Finland, Italy and Spain turned in particularly good
performances, but the strength of the U.S. dollar somewhat reduced those
gains. Additionally, Eastern European markets soared in early 1997, but due
to the relatively small size of these markets and -- in some cases --
regulatory and operational impediments, it was difficult for the portfolio to
gain access. Our large exposure to cyclical securities also provided good
results as investors focused on the possibility of a cyclical upturn in the
European economy. The portfolio's largest holding -- Philips Electronics
(Netherlands/3.0% of total net assets) -- advanced strongly in the first six
months of 1997 after its new management strategy to maximize share value
raised investor interest.

We believe that the long-term prospects for emerging market companies remain
exceptionally bright, based on the continued rapid development of their own
economies as well as the benefits these countries should realize from an
eventual upturn in the developed world's economic activity level.

Templeton International Smaller Companies Fund
Throughout the six-month reporting period, the portfolio, using a disciplined
focus on long-term value, continued in its endeavor to purchase the shares of
undervalued small-cap companies outside the U.S. On June 30, 1997, the
portfolio had $29 million in assets under management and was invested in 31
countries. The largest positions by geographic area were Europe (34.0% of
total net assets), Asia (19.7%), and Latin America (5.4%). By country, the
largest positions were Hong Kong (10.3%), United Kingdom (8.1%), Netherlands
(6.6%), Spain (4.8%), and Sweden (3.9%).

European stock markets moved sharply higher, propelled by excitement over
monetary union, lower interest rates, and moderate economic expansion. In
Asia, Hong Kong's stock exchange rose more than 20% in the time leading up to
the colony's reversion to China.

Currently, worldwide financial valuations are at historically high levels,
reflecting continued investor optimism over future corporate profitability
and strong cash inflows. While identifying investment bargains in this
environment is a challenge, we are confident that our disciplined approach to
finding undervalued small-cap stocks can reward long-term investors.

Templeton Pacific Growth Fund
On June 30, 1997, the fund's top five geographic allocations were Hong Kong
(25.8% of total net assets), Japan (18.6%), Singapore (12.5%), Australia
(10.7%), and Malaysia (8.6%).

A recovery in Hong Kong's retail and property sectors helped buoy its stock
market, and the portfolio benefited from the rising share prices of Cheung
Kong Holdings Ltd. and Hon Kwok Land Investment Co. Ltd., two companies with
real estate holdings in Hong Kong.

Japan's economy continued to falter as its banking system faced huge amounts
of uncollectable loans secured by land or stock worth less than the amount of
the loans. Although our holdings of Sony Corp. performed well, the yen's
decline during the period adversely affected the portfolio.

Indonesia, plagued by political problems that led to rioting in Jakarta,
experienced severe stock market volatility, and we took this opportunity to
purchase shares of PT Bank Bali and PT Panin Bank, two financial institutions
that we believe have growth potential. Seeking to capitalize on volatility in
stock markets of Thailand and India, we purchased shares of Thai Farmers Bank
Public Co. Ltd. and Bangkok Bank Public Co. Ltd., and initiated a position in
Industrial Credit & Investment Corp. of India.

In our opinion, the Pacific Rim continues to offer a variety of investment
opportunities in industrialized nations such as Hong Kong, and in nations
rich with natural resources.

Portfolios Seeking Growth and Income

Growth and Income Fund
The strategy of the Growth and Income Fund portfolio is to buy corporate
stocks that are selling at attractive prices according to valuation
parameters such as dividend yield, book value, cash earnings, and revenues.
This strategy generally entails investing at times when a company or sector
is out of favor due to depressed fundamentals or market uncertainty about
future prospects. In our opinion, utility stocks, especially electric
companies, represent such an investment opportunity. Concerns over industry
deregulation have led to stocks selling at their most attractive relative
yield valuations in over 25 years. While the electric utility stocks held in
the portfolio registered disappointing relative returns during the past six
months, we are continuing to focus our investments in what we believe are
competitive, well-positioned companies and beneficiaries of anticipated
industry consolidation. For example, we initiated an investment in Entergy
Corp., a New Orleans-based utility that offered a 7.0% yield and sold at
approximately 10 times earnings at time of purchase.

Energy stocks continue to represent one of the portfolio's largest investment
sectors. Investment fundamentals such as earnings, cash flow and dividends
have been strong. We believe future prospects in this sector are also
favorable as rising worldwide demand for oil and gas, in relation to
exploration and production activity, should lead to strong prices and profit
growth for leading companies in the industry. Energy investments represent
five of the portfolio's top ten positions, including Atlantic Richfield Co.,
Texaco Inc., YPF Sociedad Anonima, Chevron Corp., and Exxon Corp.

Our investments in financial stocks, specifically savings & loans and insurance
companies, experienced notable gains during the period. The portfolio's savings
& loan holdings, which included Roosevelt Financial Group, Inc., were subject to
recent takeover bids, which led to higher prices. In the insurance sector,
Lincoln National Corp. and St. Paul Cos., Inc. performed well as a combination
of good valuations and strong fundamentals led to their strong gains in the
period. Investments in consumer staples and health care stocks also performed
well (Tambrands Inc. received a takeover bid by Proctor & Gamble) and the major
pharmaceutical stocks continued to move higher on strengthening fundamentals. In
the second quarter of 1997, we did take advantage of recent weakness in one of
the few weak-performing drug companies -- Pharmacia & Upjohn Inc. -- to add to
our position in this industry. Pharmacia & Upjohn is trading at a significant
discount to its peers and is currently restructuring its operations which, in
our opinion, should lead to a resumption in earnings growth and higher
valuations.

Foreign stocks represented 12.0% of the portfolio's total net assets on June
30, 1997. Currently, compared to domestic companies, many foreign stocks have
higher dividend yields and more attractive valuations in terms of
price/earnings ratios in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, energy, basic
materials, and financials. In addition to the above-mentioned Pharmacia &
Upjohn Inc., we initiated positions in two foreign companies during the
reporting period: Imperial Chemical (U.K.) and Mid Ocean Limited (Bermuda), a
reinsurance company.

Looking forward, we remain committed to our disciplined, value-oriented
approach, which has produced consistent and favorable long-term results.

Income Securities Fund
The stock market appreciated during the period under review, driven by solid
economic growth and a benign inflation environment. In contrast, the bond
market experienced little change over the period, despite Treasury bond
volatility related to the strength of the economy and the federal funds rate
increase in March. The recovery in the second quarter was precipitated by
signs of slower economic growth. Most of the portfolio's sectors performed
well during the last six months, with the exception of gold stocks (which
declined following a drop in the price of gold).

Our fixed-income holdings consisted of corporate (33.2% of total net assets),
foreign (12.3%), and U.S. Treasury bonds (8.3%). Although corporate bonds
have generally performed well over the past two years, we were still able to
find good values in companies with positive business and credit prospects. We
added selectively to existing bond positions, initiated positions in
Bellwether Exploration (energy) and Paging Network (telecommunications), and
purchased bonds issued to refinance three of the portfolio's existing
positions (Anacomp, Del Monte, and Revlon Worldwide). In addition, several of
the portfolio's corporate bond holdings benefited from buyout or merger
announcements over the last six months (Smith's Food, CommNet Cellular, and
Mesa Petroleum).

The portfolio's foreign bond positions turned in a strong performance. In
February, we took advantage of strength in our Mexican Brady bonds, swapping
these positions for Brazilian Brady bonds, which appeared to offer greater
value. We also sold our Canadian bond position in May due to valuation
concerns and currency risk. With respect to U.S. Treasuries, we increased our
exposure by purchasing bonds amid market weakness earlier in the year.

Most of the portfolio's equity sectors performed well during the last six
months, with energy and pharmaceutical stocks leading the way. Energy stocks
were strong performers as a result of a generally positive earnings outlook.
However, these stocks did experience weakness in February and March due to a
temporary decline in energy prices. We took advantage of this weakness by
adding to existing positions in Nuevo Energy and Swift Energy as we believe
the long-term outlook for these companies remains positive.

We maintained the portfolio's utility weighting (22% of total net assets)
because we believe many of the stocks in this sector are undervalued and
offer attractive high current income. In addition, many utility companies
have made significant progress in adapting to industry deregulation through
cost cutting, consolidation and diversifying into unregulated business lines.
Over the period, we added to existing utility positions in the portfolio, and
initiated positions in MidAmerican Energy (mid-western electric & gas
utility) and CMS Energy (Michigan electric & gas utility).

Looking at other sectors of the portfolio, we purchased two new convertible
real estate positions in Vornado Realty Trust (REIT) and Macerich Co. (REIT),
two high-quality companies with excellent growth prospects. In the
pharmaceutical sector, strong price appreciation prompted us to sell the
portfolio's remaining pharmaceutical holdings as we believed further
appreciation potential for these stocks was limited at current levels.
Finally, due to valuation concerns, we recognized significant gains from the
Altera and Xilinx convertible bond positions purchased during last July's
technology sell-off.

With valuations in the stock and bond markets relatively high, we remain
selective as we search for investments with high current income and good
appreciation potential. We will continue to utilize our extensive research
capabilities in searching for attractively valued securities, and believe
that the portfolio's cash position should provide us with the ability to take
advantage of investment opportunities as they arise.

Mutual Shares Securities Fund
The Mutual Shares Securities Fund seeks capital appreciation, with income as
a secondary objective, by investing in domestic and foreign equity
securities. These include common and preferred stocks, securities convertible
into common stocks, as well as debt obligations of any quality. On June 30,
1997, 65.4% of the portfolio's total net assets were invested in equity
securities, 2.9% in fixed-income securities, and the remaining 31.7% in
short-term and other securities. Of course, these holdings will change as
conditions warrant.

When an index such as the S&P 500 is up 20.06% in the first six months of
1997, some might ask, "why not just throw in the towel and own an index
fund?" The answer is basic: We believe that our value approach is the best
way to achieve consistent, long-term appreciation with low risk and low
volatility. The mix of our businesses -- cheap stocks, "special situations"
such as mergers and spinoffs, and bankruptcies -- is intended to provide the
best risk-adjusted returns in a wide variety of market conditions.

Our most recent efforts to find value in these markets included buying stakes
in a number of energy companies, including in the oil service business and on
the exploration and production side. We also found good value in selected
healthcare names, some of which have come down in price due to short-term
dislocations. Strong merger and acquisition activity is also providing some
good investment opportunities. Many foreign stocks are still attractive to
us, and though the larger capitalization names are generally less compelling
than they were a year or two ago, we believe opportunities in the smaller
capitalization companies are still plentiful.

Real Estate Securities Fund
During the six-month period under review, the U.S. real estate market
performed well as robust economic growth and limited new property development
helped drive occupancy and rental rates higher. In addition, cost savings
from consolidation and growing economies of scale had a positive impact on
real estate companies. Although fundamentals in the real estate industry
remained strong in 1997, prices of real estate stocks -- after appreciating
significantly in the fourth quarter of 1996 -- fell slightly after the Federal
Reserve Board raised interest rates on March 25, 1997. The sector rebounded
in the second quarter of 1997 as the markets stabilized and real estate
stocks continued to report positive results.

The market capitalization and liquidity of equity real estate investment
trusts (REITs) increased significantly over the past several years as the
strong real estate market attracted new investors. In fact, REITs now
represent approximately 8.4% of the Russell 2000 Index of small
capitalization funds. As the public market for real estate companies expands,
we remain committed to our long-term investment strategy of focusing on
property types and geographic regions with strong supply and demand
fundamentals. We attempt to identify those management teams with the ability
to add value through intensive property management and strong capital markets
experience. In keeping with this strategy, we maintained the majority of the
portfolio's investments in hotel, apartment, industrial, office, and
self-storage properties, where we anticipate the most favorable supply and
demand fundamentals and strongest cash flow growth.

At the end of the reporting period, the hotel sector was the portfolio's
largest property-type weighting, representing 20.5% of total net assets, up
from 17.9% six months ago. Available hotel rooms have become scarce in many
cities across the country, reflecting higher occupancy rates. This
contributed to the excellent operating results and significant consolidation
activity, which made hotels our strongest performing sector. During the
period, we initiated a position in Prime Hospitality Corporation, an
attractively-valued lodging company. At the high-end of the hotel/resort
segment, we purchased shares in Colorado-based Vail Resorts, Inc. We also
added to core holdings such as FelCor Suite Hotels Inc., Winston Hotels, and
Host Marriott Corporation.

On June 30, 1997, the apartment sector was the portfolio's second-largest
exposure, representing 18.7% of total net assets. We maintained large
positions in our core apartment holdings, such as Equity Residential
Properties Trust, Security Capital Pacific Trust, and Bay Apartment
Communities, Inc. We also initiated a position in Charles E. Smith
Residential Realty, Inc. -- an apartment company focused on the ownership and
operation of downtown high-rise apartments.

During the past six months, we increased our exposure to the industrial
property sector by adding to our existing positions in Security Capital
Industrial Trust, Spieker Properties, Inc., Meridian Industrial Trust, and
Liberty Property Trust, as their valuations became attractive due to weakness
in office/industrial sector securities. On June 30, 1997, the industrial
sector weighting was 9.8% of total net assets, up from 8.9% six months ago.

Finally, adhering to our disciplined focus on valuation, we realized gains in
several securities in the home building, retail and hotel sectors. We
believed the valuations of these specific stocks did not reflect slowing
growth rates, which could cause weakness in the future.

Looking forward, we are confident about the prospects for real estate
securities, particularly equity REITs, because of the combination of strong
underlying fundamentals, favorable valuations, and attractive growth
opportunities they offer. We will continue to utilize our real estate
background and perspective combined with the securities experience and
resources of our research team. The portfolio will continue to focus on
high-quality real estate companies that are creating significant cash flow
and dividend growth to generate attractive total returns.


Rising Dividends Fund
Our investment strategy is based on our belief that companies with
consistently rising dividends should, over time, realize appreciation in
their stock prices. We select portfolio securities based on several criteria.
To be eligible for purchase, stocks must pass certain investment "screens,"
or screening procedures, including consistent and substantial dividend
increases, strong balance sheets, and relatively low price/earnings ratios.
We seek fundamentally sound companies that meet our standards and attempt to
acquire them at attractive prices, often when they are out of favor with
other investors.

The stock market -- and a number of securities in the portfolio -- continued to
benefit from an environment characterized by solid economic growth and low
inflation. One of our holdings, State Street Corp. -- a provider of services
to institutional investors, was a direct beneficiary of rising prices for
financial assets. Bristol-Myers' strong new product pipeline appears to be
increasing its earnings growth rate. Cohu Inc.'s order backlog for its
semiconductor test handling equipment grew in the first two quarters of 1997
after falling for most of 1996. Investors have begun to appreciate that M.A.
Hanna's earnings have become increasingly less cyclical in recent years. Many
analysts are expecting earnings growth at America's largest company, General
Electric, to be accelerating. Mercury General is experiencing very strong
growth in auto insurance premiums, Family Dollar Stores continues to do well
with its small-scale and low-priced general merchandise stores, and the much
larger Wal-Mart Stores has benefited from better inventory control and an
expanding international presence.

The prices of several stocks in the portfolio fell during the period despite
the strong market. Wallace Computer Services had lower-than-expected earnings
growth as a result of slower-than-anticipated rollout of the company's
services to new accounts and a slowdown in direct mail business. MMI
Companies (insurance - property/casualty) also reported earnings that were
lower than expected. The company was hurt by a slowdown in medical
malpractice premium growth. We think both of these companies are still very
attractive businesses and, therefore, we purchased additional shares during
the period.

New positions added to the portfolio during the six-month period included Nike,
Inc., Washington Mutual, Inc., Hubbell, Inc. - Class B, Diebold, Inc., and
American Heritage Life Investment Corp. Nike has become one of the world's most
recognizable brand names; however, a slowdown in its domestic footwear sales
caused its stock to fall to an attractive valuation. Still, international sales,
as well as domestic apparel sales, continue to be very strong. Washington Mutual
is a rapidly growing west coast financial services company, increasing its
dividend for seven consecutive quarters. Hubbell, a manufacturer of electrical
components, increased its dividend for 37 years, and Diebold -- which makes
card-based transaction systems such as automatic teller machines -- has 43 years
of dividend increases. American Heritage Life specializes in selling life and
health insurance through automatic payroll deductions, and not only has 27 years
of consecutive dividend increases but also has 21 years of increasing operating
earnings.

Several positions were eliminated from the portfolio, including C.R. Bard,
Inc., Arnold Industries, Inc., and Loctite Corp. Bard has had difficulty
growing revenues in a very competitive pricing environment, and Arnold
Industries is no longer increasing its dividend. Loctite, a specialty
chemical company, was acquired by another company in January 1997 at a gain
of 37%.

Notable year-over-year dividend increases during the past six months came
from Baldor Electric Co. (+20%), Cohu, Inc. (+20%), Leggett & Platt, Inc.
(+18.2%), Merck & Co. (+23.5%), Mercury General Corp. (+20.8%), Nucor Corp.
(+25%), Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (+28.6%), and Washington Mutual, Inc. (+18.2%).

As shown in the table on page 25, our 10 largest positions on June 30, 1997,
comprised 27% of the portfolio's total net assets. It is interesting to note
how these 10 companies would, in the aggregate, answer the portfolio's
screening criteria based on a simple average of statistical measures. On
average, these 10 companies have raised their dividends 16 years in a row and
by 400% in the last 10 years. Their most recent dividend increases averaged
17.4%, for a yield of 1.4% on June 30, 1997, and a dividend payout ratio of
24%. Long-term debt averaged 23% of capitalization, and the average
price/earnings ratio was 17.7%, versus 19.8% for that of the unmanaged S&P
500 Stock Index on the same date.

We think that these companies are representative of the fundamentally high
quality of the portfolio. We also believe that, over the long haul, companies
that increase cash payments to shareholders, year after year, should be
superior builders of wealth.

Templeton Global Asset Allocation Fund
Volatility and uncertainty have been key factors in the world's financial
markets for much of the first half of 1997. The U.S. equity market began the
year at an all-time high, and proceeded to rise and fall. At the same time,
the U.S. dollar rose against most foreign currencies, reducing returns for
U.S. holders of foreign bonds. Since these events affected markets
differently, market selection and currency management were two key factors
impacting the portfolio over the reporting period.

While the U.S. remained our largest portfolio holding (20.1% of total net
assets on June 30, 1997), high stock valuations in this region have brought
us to sell or reduce some of our holdings, particularly financial ones. Among
those equity positions we sold were Citicorp and Lucent Technologies. Within
the European bond markets, we added to our positions in Italy and Sweden,
purchases funded by the May sale of some German bonds.

The picture in our emerging markets exposure has been mixed. Latin America
rebounded sharply in 1997, with Brazil and Argentina posting phenomenal
performance (52.6% and 26.4% six-month total returns, respectively). As a
result, our emerging markets exposure remained relatively unchanged over the
period, with the largest allocations in Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico. On the
other hand, economic deterioration and political turmoil had a detrimental
effect on Asia's share prices. Regardless, we believe that opportunities are
born out of adversity, and we search diligently for overlooked opportunities,
particularly in South Korea, Thailand, and China.

Utility Equity Fund
Although U.S. utility markets were generally weak during the six months under
review, Latin American, European and Asian utility stocks performed
relatively well.

Our U.S. weightings declined slightly over the period (from 82.2% of total
net assets to 81.9%). Investors ignored large segments of the U.S. utility
market due to concerns over changing federal and state regulations. Both the
electric power generation and telecommunications industries experienced
significant deregulatory changes throughout 1996 and into 1997, causing the
average electric utility stock price to increase slightly. Regardless, we
feel that there are select buying opportunities in this market segment and
will continue to look for new investment opportunities.

Overall, our weighting in the foreign markets increased slightly during the
six-month period. We took profits in some European and Asian companies as
several of our holdings in these regions reached our target price range. We
also increased our Latin American position, particularly in electric power as
some governments in this region are trying to privatize this industry in
order to attract the needed technological knowledge and investments.

Looking forward, we believe that the global utility market offers very
attractive equity investment opportunities. In the U.S., high-quality utility
companies with aggressive, entrepreneurial management have been generating
strong earnings growth, and we hold a positive view of the California and
federal attempts at deregulation. Outside the U.S., the ongoing privatization
and deregulation of the utility industry continues to represent, we feel,
high quality investment opportunities with the potential for strong growth
rates and excellent total returns.

Portfolios Seeking Current Income

High Income Fund
Over the six months under review, the portfolio made several industry
allocation changes. We reduced our positions in the automotive and chemical
industries to capitalize on profits made in these somewhat cyclical holdings.
To avoid possible underperformance from an increasingly competitive
environment, we also reduced our cable television exposure.

During the reporting period, we increased our holdings in the broadcasting
and wireless communications industries, mainly to take advantage of rapid
market penetration, deregulation and industry consolidation in these sectors.
Additionally, industry consolidation created positive opportunities to
increase positions in the containers and packaging and the industrial sectors.

Within the wireless communications and telecommunications sectors, Nextel,
Telecom and Millicom performed well. Other strong performers include Collins
& Aikman Products (automotive), Smith's Food & Drug (food retailing), Ralphs
Grocery Co. (food retailing), Algoma Steel (metals & mining), and Mesa
Operating (energy). Mesa benefited substantially from a merger with an
investment grade-rated company, and has itself been upgraded to a Ba2 rating
by Moody's Investors Service.

Looking forward, we expect a favorable outlook for the high yield bond market
assuming we experience ongoing steady economic growth. However, the portfolio
will continue to acquire higher-quality issues, realizing that the growth
phase of the U.S. economy is now in its seventh year. Although we do not see
significant risk of recession on the short-term horizon, we believe that this
is a prudent investment strategy for the long term. Barring significant
fluctuations from moderate growth and low inflation trends in the first half
of 1997, a prosperous outlook remains for the high yield bond market.

Templeton Global Income Securities Fund
During the period under review, interest rates fell in almost all global bond
markets, increasing the value of most global fixed-income securities. At the
same time, however, the U.S. dollar rose against most foreign currencies,
reducing returns for U.S. holders of foreign bonds. Since these events
affected markets differently, market selection and currency management were
two key factors impacting the portfolio over the reporting period.

Responding to fluctuating economic conditions, we remained conservatively
positioned with respect to both interest rate and currency risk. Early in the
period, we reduced our Denmark exposure (from 7.2% of total net assets on
December 31, 1996, to 3.9%), eliminated our Ireland (1.2%) exposure, and
reinvested the proceeds in German and U.S. securities. We eliminated our
position in Japan, as that economy exhibited initial signs of underlying
strength. We also added to our positions in Italy and Sweden, purchases
funded by the May sale of some German bonds.

As of June 30, 1997, the portfolio held approximately 83% of its assets in
intermediate-term securities of dollar bloc countries (the U.S., Australia,
Canada, and dollar-denominated emerging markets), while holding roughly 16%
in intermediate-term European securities. Our emerging markets exposure
remained relatively unchanged over the six-month period, with Brazil,
Argentina and Mexico our largest allocations in this region.

U.S. Government Securities Fund
The U.S. Government Securities Fund holds a diversified portfolio of agency
mortgage and government securities, with holdings of Government National
Mortgage Association (GNMA or "Ginnie Mae") mortgage passthroughs as our
largest positions. Some other portfolio holdings were Federal National
Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(FHLMC) passthroughs and debentures issued by the Financing Corporation
(FICO) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). On June 30, 1997, the fund's
investments consisted of 71.0% of total net assets in mortgage-backed
securities (of which approximately 42.3% were Ginnie Maes), and 28.2% in
other U.S. government and agency securities and short-term investments. Of
course, these holdings may change as market conditions warrant.
As reports of strong economic growth surfaced in the fourth quarter of 1996,
U.S. interest rates -- which had declined between the third quarter and
December 1996 -- reversed course and pushed higher. Investors feared that with
labor markets tight, higher growth would continue to push wage growth higher.
This could eventually be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices.
To no one's surprise, the Federal Reserve Board nudged the federal funds rate
up slightly at the Open Market Committee meeting in March, citing heightened
inflation risk as the reason behind the quarter-point increase.

The mortgage passthrough market experienced lower prepayment risk as yields
remained higher. This helped the mortgage passthroughs perform well compared
with other government bonds (including U.S. Treasuries) as investors
benefited from the added yield these securities provide.

Over the remainder of 1997, we expect that interest rate volatility will
remain subdued, which will continue to benefit mortgage passthrough
securities. However, overall yield levels may move to the higher end of their
recent trading range as consumer activity and economic growth rebound in the
second half of 1997.

Three Zero Coupon Funds
(maturity dates: 2000, 2005, 2010)

Over the course of the first half of 1997, interest rates increased -- but
only slightly. Strong economic growth heightened prospects that inflation
would accelerate; however, by mid-year, there was only scant evidence that
inflation was on the rise. In addition to the continued favorable news on
inflation, the bond markets rallied because of the progress made on reducing
the federal budget deficit.

The Zero Coupon Fund portfolios aim to maintain investments as close to the
target maturities as practically possible. This makes changes in the interest
rates a highly significant factor affecting the unit value of these
portfolios. With four years to maturity in the 2000 portfolio, this portfolio
could possibly experience an approximate 4% swing in value for every 100
basis point (or 1%) swing in interest rates. Likewise, the 2005 fund has the
potential to move up or down approximately 9% for the same swing in interest
rates, and the 2010 may move -- up or down -- 14%.

Naturally, if held to maturity, individual zero coupon bonds will return a
fixed rate. Zero coupon investments, therefore, can be attractive for both
aggressive and risk averse investors. Of course, a managed portfolio of zero
coupon bonds will fluctuate with cash flow in or out of the portfolio, or
vary with market conditions. In each portfolio, we strive to maintain -- at
all times -- a duration within 12 months of the target maturity. We do not try
to time the market; instead, our portfolio activity mirrors shareholder
activity. We make purchases when money flows into the portfolios, and sell
securities to meet redemptions. Additionally, we hold primarily U.S. Treasury
and agency zero coupon and stripped securities, as well as top-rated
corporate securities. We believe this strategy keeps default risk at a
minimum.

Portfolio Seeking Capital Preservation and Income

Money Market Fund

Strong economic growth coupled with mild inflation characterized most of the
period under review. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997, was 5.9% -- considerably above the Federal Reserve
Board's (the Fed's) targeted long-term growth rate of 2.5%. Moreover,
unemployment levels trended down to 4.8%, the lowest level experienced in 25
years. In spite of the blistering economic growth, inflation indicators
remained relatively low. However, the Fed responded preemptively to the
potential for higher prices by increasing the federal funds rate on March 25.
In response to this rise, most other short-term rates also rose slightly
during the period.

Since we maintained a relatively neutral weighted average maturity during the
six-month reporting period, the portfolio's seven-day yield reflected the
rise in short-term rates. Our seven-day yield began the period at 5.04% and
ended at 5.18%.

We continue to invest the portfolio's assets in securities that are among the
highest quality available to money market portfolios. Since the portfolio's
objective is to provide shareholders with a high quality conservative
investment, we do not invest in leveraged derivative or other potentially
volatile securities that we believe involve undue risk.

Looking forward, we feel the economy is in the later stages of the current
business cycle. Growth should continue to result from higher private
consumption, capital spending, and improving foreign economies. However, we
expect these forces -- coupled with a tight labor market -- could jeopardize
the current, benign inflation picture. As a result, the Fed may be compelled
to raise short-term rates further.

The Money Market Fund's relatively short-weighted average maturity should
position the portfolio effectively for this type of interest rate
environment. As interest rates rise, we should be able to reinvest the
portfolio's securities at a faster rate due to the relatively short overall
maturity.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Franklin Valuemark Funds (the Trust) is an open-end, management investment
company (mutual fund) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Trust currently consists of twenty-three separate funds (the
Funds), all of which are diversified except for the Templeton Global Income
Securities Fund. Each of the Funds issues a separate series of the Trust's
shares and maintains a totally separate investment portfolio. Shares of the
Funds are sold only to insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits
of variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by
Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life), which was
formerly North American Life and Casualty Company (NALAC), and its affiliates.
The investment objectives of each Fund are as follows:

</TABLE>

The Capital Growth Fund and the Templeton International Smaller Companies Fund
became effective on May 1, 1996, and the Mutual Shares Securities Fund and the
Mututal Discovery Securities Fund became effective November 8, 1996.

Effective May 1, 1997, the name of the Precious Metals Fund changed to the
Natural Resources Fund. Before May 1, 1997, the portfolio had different
investment objectives and policies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies.

a. Security Valuation:

Portfolio securities listed on a securities exchange or on the NASDAQ for which
market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or, if
there is no sale price, within the range of the most recent quoted bid and asked
prices. Other securities are valued based on a variety of factors, including
yield, risk, maturity, trade activity and recent developments related to the
securities. Portfolio securities which are traded both in the over-the-counter
market and on a securities exchange are valued according to the broadest and
most representative market as determined by the investment manager. The Trust
may utilize a pricing service, bank or broker/dealer experienced in such matters
to perform any of the pricing functions, under procedures approved by the Board
of Trustees (the Board). Securities for which market quotations are not
available, and securities restricted as to resale, are valued in accordance with
procedures established by the Board.

The value of a foreign security is determined as of the earlier of the close of
trading on the foreign exchange on which it is traded or the close of trading on
the New York Stock Exchange. That value is then converted into its U.S. dollar
equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at noon, New York time, on the
day the value of the foreign security is determined. If no sale is reported at
that time, the mean between the current bid and asked prices is used.
Occasionally, events which affect the values of foreign securities and foreign
exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the
close of the exchange and will, therefore, not be reflected in the computation
of the Fund's net asset value, unless material. If events which materially
affect the value of these foreign securities occur during such period, these
securities will be valued in accordance with procedures established by the
Board.

Portfolio securities in the Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost,
which approximates value. The Fund must maintain a dollar weighted average
maturity of 90 days or less and only purchase instruments having remaining
maturities of 397 days or less. If the Fund's portfolio has a remaining weighted
average maturity of greater than 90 days, the portfolio will be stated at value
based on recorded closing sales on a national securities exchange or, in the
absence of a recorded sale, within the range of the most recent quoted bid and
asked prices. The Board has established procedures designed to stabilize, to the
extent reasonably possible, the Fund's price per share as computed for the
purpose of sales and redemptions at $1.00.

b. Income Taxes:

The Funds intend to continue to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to
regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code and to make the
requisite distributions to shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve the
Funds from income taxes. Each Fund is treated as a separate entity in the
determination of compliance with the Internal Revenue Code.

c. Security Transactions:

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased
or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are
determined on the basis of specific identification.

d. Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions:

Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily.
Original issue discount is amortized as required by the Internal Revenue Code.

For the Money Market Fund, net investment income includes income, calculated on
an accrual basis, and estimated expenses which are accrued daily. The total
available for distribution is computed daily and includes the net investment
income, plus or minus any gains or losses on security transactions and any
changes in unrealized portfolio appreciation or depreciation. Distributions are
normally declared each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business,
equal to the total available for distributions (as defined above), and are
payable to shareholders of record as of the close of business the preceding day.
Such distributions are automatically reinvested daily in additional shares of
the Fund at net asset value.

A portion of the distributions received from investments in Real Estate
Investment Trust (REIT) securities may be characterized as tax basis return of
capital (ROC) distributions, which are not recorded as dividend income, but
reduce the cost basis of the REIT securities. ROC distributions exceeding the
cost basis of the REIT security are recognized by the Funds as capital gain.

Net investment income differs for financial statement and tax purposes primarily
due to tax basis mark to market of unrealized gains with respect to differing
treatments of foreign currency transactions and defaulted securities - see Note
7.

Net realized capital gains and losses differ for financial statement and tax
purposes primarily due to tax basis mark to market of unrealized gains with
respect to differing treatments of wash sale and foreign currency transactions.

e. Accounting Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

f. Expense Allocation:

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. In all other
respects, expenses are charged to each Fund as incurred on a specific
identification basis.

g. Foreign Currency Translation:

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S.
dollars at the rate of exchange of the currencies against U.S. dollars on the
valuation date. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are
translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the day that the transactions are
recorded. Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected
or paid are recognized when reported by the custodian.

g. Foreign Currency Translation: (cont.)

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising
from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included
with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of
short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, gains or losses realized
between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, the difference
between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes
recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts
actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on
translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise
from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in
securities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in
exchange rates.

h. Repurchase Agreements:

The Funds may enter into a joint repurchase agreement whereby their uninvested
cash balances are deposited into a joint cash account to be used to invest in
one or more repurchase agreements with government securities dealers recognized
by the Federal Reserve Board and/or member banks of the Federal Reserve System.
The value and face amount of the joint repurchase agreement are allocated to the
Funds based on their pro-rata interest. A repurchase agreement is accounted for
as a loan by the Fund to the seller, collateralized by underlying U.S.
government securities, which are delivered to the Fund's custodian. The market
value, including accrued interest, of the initial collateralization is required
to be at least 102% of the dollar amount invested by the Funds, with the value
of the underlying securities marked to market daily to maintain coverage of at
least 100%. At June 30, 1997, all outstanding repurchase agreements held by the
Funds, had been entered into on that date.

i. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis:

The Funds may trade securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, with
payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions are subject
to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery
may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Funds will
generally purchase these securities with the intention of holding the
securities, they may sell the securities before the settlement date. These
securities are identified on the accompanying Statement of Investments in
Securities and Net Assets. The Funds have set aside sufficient investment
securities as collateral for these purchase commitments.

j. Mortgage Dollar Rolls:

The U.S. Government Securities Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in
which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously contracts to
repurchase substantially similar, but not identical, securities on a specified
future date, generally at a price lower than the price of the security sold. The
counterparty receives all principal and interest payments, including
prepayments, made on the mortgage-backed security sold while it is the holder.
Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed with a new sale and repurchase price fixed
and a cash settlement made without physical delivery of the securities subject
to the contract, at the renewal date. Mortgage dollar rolls are accounted
for as collateralized financing transactions.


2. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A forward currency contract, which is individually negotiated and privately
traded by currency traders and their customers, is a commitment to purchase or
sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date.

The Mutual Discovery Securities Fund, Mutual Shares Securities Fund, Templeton
Global Asset Allocation Fund, and Templeton Global Income Securities Fund may
enter into forward contracts with the objective of minimizing the risk to the
Funds from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies or to enhance
fund value. The Funds may also enter into a forward contract in relation to a
security denominated in a foreign currency or when they anticipate receipt in a
foreign currency of dividends or interest payments in order to "lock in" the
U.S. dollar price of a security or the U.S. dollar equivalent of such dividend
or interest payments.

Any gain or loss realized from a forward foreign currency contract is recorded
as a realized gain or loss from investments.

Each Fund segregates in its custodian bank sufficient cash, cash equivalents or
readily marketable debt securities as collateral for commitments created by open
forward contracts. The Funds could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the
contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the
foreign currency changes unfavorably.

As of June 30, 1997, the Mutual Discovery Securities Fund had the following
forward foreign currency contracts outstanding:

7. CREDIT RISK AND DEFAULTED SECURITIES

The High Income Fund, the Income Securities Fund, the Mutual Discovery
Securities Fund, and the Mutual Shares Securities Fund have 87.9%, 42.5%, 1.1%,
and 1.3%, respectively, of their portfolios invested in lower rated and
comparable quality unrated securities. Investments in high yield securities are
accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk and such lower rated securities
tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities.
The risk of loss due to default by the issuer may be significantly greater for
the holders of high yield securities, because such securities are generally
unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.

At June 30, 1997 the Income Securities Fund held two defaulted securities with a
value aggregating $6,175,000, representing .45% of the Fund's net assets. For
information as to the specific securities, see the accompanying Statement of
Investments in Securities and Net Assets.

For financial reporting purposes, it is the Fund's accounting practice to
discontinue accrual of income and provide an estimate for probable losses due to
unpaid interest income on defaulted bonds for the current reporting period.

There are certain credit risks, foreign currency exchange risk, or event risk
due to the manner in which certain Funds are invested, which may subject the
Funds more significantly to economic changes occurring in certain industries or
sectors as follows:

The High Income Fund has investments in excess of 10% of its net assets in Cable
Television and Wireless Communication.

The Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund has investments in excess of 10% of
its net assets in Mexico.

The Templeton International Equity Fund has investments in excess of 10% of its
net assets in United Kingdom.

The Templeton International Smaller Companies Fund has investments in excess of
10% of its net assets in Hong Kong.

The Templeton Pacific Growth Fund has investments in excess of 10% of its net
assets in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore.


8. HOLDINGS OF 5% VOTING SECURITIES OF PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

Investments in portfolio issuers, 5% or more of whose outstanding voting
securities are held by any of the Funds, are defined in the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as affiliated companies. The Real Estate Securities Fund and Rising
Dividends Fund had investments in such affiliated companies at June 30, 1997,
with a value in the amount of $5,443,750 and $15,395,463, respectively. See the
accompanying Statement of Investments in Securities and Net Assets for specific
information on such securities.


9. RESTRICTED SECURITIES

A restricted security is a security which has not been registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. The
Funds may purchase restricted securities through a private offering and they
cannot be sold without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933
unless such sale is pursuant to an exemption therefrom. Subsequent costs of
registration of such securities are borne by the issuer. A secondary market
exists for certain privately placed securities. The Funds value these restricted
securities as disclosed in Note 1(a). At June 30, 1997, the Funds held
restricted securities as follows:

 the Adjustable U.S. Government Fund and mortgage dollar roll transactions.
****Represents the average broker commission rate per share paid by the Fund in connection wih the execution of the Fund's portfolio
transactions in equity securities.
+Total return measures the change in value of an investment over the periods indicated. It assumes reinvestment and capital gains,
if any, at net asset value and is not annualized. The total return may differ from that reported in the Manager's Discussion due
to differences between the net asset values quoted and the net asset values calculated for financial reporting purposes.
++Per share amounts have been calculated using the average shares outstanding during the period.
+++The net asset value differs from the net asset value used to process shareholder activity as of the reporting date, which does
not include market adjustments for portfolio trades made on that date. These adjustments are generally accounted for on the day
following the trade date.
