Templeton Institutional Funds, Inc. 
Global Fixed Income Series 
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)



1.  Summary of Accounting Policies 

Global Fixed Income Series (the Fund) is a separate  series of Templeton  
Institutional  Funds,  Inc. (the Company) which is an open-end,  diversified
management  investment  company  registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940.  The following summarizes the Fund's significant accounting policies.

A. SECURITIES VALUATIONS:

Securities  listed or traded on a recognized  national or foreign  stock  
exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the last reported sales prices on the prin-
cipal exchange on which the securities  are traded.  Over-the-counter  
securities and listed  securities  for which no sale is reported are valued 
at the mean between the last current bid and asked prices.  Securities for 
which market quotations  are not readily  available are valued at fair value 
as determined by management and approved in good faith by the Board of 
Directors.


B.  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS:

Portfolio  securities and other assets and liabilities  denominated in foreign 
currencies are translated into U.S. dollars  based  on the  rate of  exchange 
of such  currencies  against  U.S.  dollars  on the  date of  valuation.
Purchases and sales of portfolio  securities  and income items  denominated  in
foreign  currencies  are translated into U.S.  dollar amounts on the respective
dates of such  transactions.  When the Fund purchases or sells foreign
securities it customarily  enters into foreign  exchange  contracts to min-
imize foreign  exchange risk between the trade date and the settlement date 
of such transactions.

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

Reported net realized  foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of 
foreign  currencies,  currency gains or losses realized  between the trade and 
settlement  dates on securities  transactions,  the differences  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  foreign exchange gains and losses arise from
changes in the value of assets  and  liabilities  other than  investments  in  
securities  at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in the 
exchange rate.

C. INCOME TAXES:

It is the Fund's  policy to comply with the  requirements  of the  Internal  
Revenue Code  applicable  to regulated investment  companies and to distribute 
all its taxable  income to its  shareholders.  Therefore,  no provision has
been made for income taxes.


<PAGE>
D. UNAMORTIZED ORGANIZATIONS COSTS:

Organization costs are being amortized on a straight line basis over a five 
year period.

E. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, DISTRIBUTIONS AND EXPENSES:

Security  transactions  are accounted for on a trade date basis.  Dividend 
income is recorded on ex-dividend  date. Certain  dividend  income on foreign
securities  are  recorded as soon as  information  is  available to the Fund.
Interest income and estimated  expenses are accrued daily.  Distributions  to
shareholders  which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations,
are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
