As an emerging markets investor, 1994 was a challenging year, especially
following 1993 when rarely in history had so many markets performed as well.
With general expectations raised, the volatile markets experienced in 1994 have
brought investors back to the reality that emerging markets commitments must be
viewed over the long term. Strong performance in markets such as Brazil 67%,
Peru 48% and Chile 46% in 1994 were balanced by corrections in Poland -42%,
China -48%, Mexico -39% and Turkey -40%.

          It is important to note that the correction in certain emerging market
stocks this year has been normal. Normal bear markets in many emerging markets
do not tend to last as long as in developed markets and are normally more
severe, sometimes reducing prices 30 to 40%. The Hong Kong market is a prime
example of this phenomena. Despite an increase of over 480% in the Hang Seng
stock index over the last decade from 1365 in January of 1985 to 8000 in January
of 1995, there have been four corrections of more than 30%. Going forward,
clients should expect similar volatility.

          Performance over the year was volatile, reflecting the correction in
certain emerging markets stocks during 1994. Within this environment, the
Templeton Institutional Funds, Inc. Emerging Markets Series (the "Fund")
returned -10.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 1994, and -11.4% for the year
compared to the IFC Investable index return of -17.0% for the quarter and -12.2%
for the year. Since inception on May 3, 1993, the Emerging Markets Series has
posted an average annual return of 10.4% versus the IFC Investable index which
posted an average annual return of 24.9%, over the same period.

          The asset size of the Fund was $583 million at year end, an increase
from $422 million at the end of 1993. The Fund's share price, in terms of net
asset value, was $11.21 on December 31, 1994, compared to $13.22 at 
December 31, 1993. Distributions by the Fund for 1994 totaled $0.355 per share
in capital gains and $0.17 per share in dividend income.

* Equity includes convertible and preferred stocks

          Currently, we believe that Hong Kong will continue to consolidate and
that we will continue to find bargain stocks there because of the uncertainty
relating to 1997 and the general fear of new share issues going into the market
from China. In addition, Hong Kong as well as China, have shown strong growth in
the factors influencing a country's GDP. The number of new workers entering the
labor force is growing dramatically as capitalism, entrepreneurship and foreign
investment expand. Productivity per worker is rising, mainly due to workers
shifting from state run to privately managed corporations. Price levels are also
rising although some would claim almost too fast. These factors should have a
positive impact on longer-term trends in GDP and ultimately on the underlying
share prices.

          Share prices in Mexico have fallen considerably with the devaluation
of the peso. This currency correction was not unexpected and we have continued
to purchase Mexican shares on a selective basis. The Mexican market has fallen
because of the lack of confidence by international investors and it provides us
with a good opportunity to pick up stocks at much lower levels. In the case of
Telmex, the fact that a significant portion of the company's earnings are dollar
denominated means that the impact of the devaluation is minimal in terms of
their actual business. Therefore, we see this as an opportunity to pick up more
shares as Telmex is basically an undervalued utility.

          There is an ongoing risk of devaluations in a number of other Latin
American countries, but the timing and the extent of those corrections are
impossible to determine. A number of countries' currencies undergo continual and
gradual adjustments versus the U.S. dollar. During 1994, Brazil's currency
actually revalued against the U.S. dollar, but we doubt that revaluation will
continue. In the case of Argentina, with the currency pegged to the U.S. dollar,
it will be difficult but essential that the government maintain the peg. Chile
has revalued slightly against the U.S. dollar while Colombia had a slight
devaluation and Venezuela a large devaluation. As you know, we do not hedge
currencies, yet long-term projected currency movements are factored into the
long-term valuations of the individual company share price.

          Looking forward, we hope to establish positions in a number of new
emerging markets including Kenya, the Ivory Coast, Jordan, Russia, Kazakstan,
Peru and Bolivia. The timing of these investments is unclear at this time, but
we are working in that direction. To assist in covering these countries and our
current emerging markets, we have established research staffs and offices in
Russia and India as well as added two research analysts in our Singapore office.
We are also in the interviewing process for research staff in Brazil, South
Africa and Vietnam.

          We are still holding a fair amount of cash and have seen prices
retreat sufficiently to invest more of the cash. However, a large backlog of new
issues in a number of emerging market countries should keep share prices
depressed for a while. We want to remind you that there are times when "cash is
king" despite our policy of being as fully invested as 

2

................................................................................

possible. We never make a conscious effort to have a certain amount of cash in
our portfolio since that decision is dictated by conditions in the market and
the degree to which we can find bargains.

          One other point that we would like you to keep in mind is that we are
not index investors. We provide you with these indices for reporting purposes,
but we feel that they have some shortcomings and are not appropriate as short-
term benchmarks. We feel that emerging markets investors should not be guided by
indices and should not feel that over or under performance to an index is
crucial. The focus should be on total returns over the long-term. That is the
focus of our research in emerging markets.

          Generally, we continue to feel optimistic about emerging markets, but
we must warn investors that these markets could experience a few years of under
performance relative to our past performance in emerging markets and investors
must be prepared for this possibility. We have no idea when this under
performance will take place and to what extent it will occur, if it occurs at
all. However, if we are psychologically prepared for it, we can take advantage
of the situation rather than panicking. We thank you for your confidence in our
long-term investment process and we value your continuing investment with the
Templeton organization.

Sincerely,

The following was written by the Fund's portfolio manager, Dr. J. Mark Mobius,
after a recent trip with his emerging markets research team to Czech Republic.

Country 
       -------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOCUS

          PRAGUE, Czech Republic - I've just completed another visit to this
exciting emerging market and am impressed by how far the Czech Republic has
progressed since its creation on the first day of January 1993. But it's not the
past that really excites me - it's the future.

          We at Templeton didn't start buying Czech equities when the Prague
Stock Exchange (PSE) opened in June 1993. But now that it has a track record, we
expect to gradually step up our investments here as new bargains present
themselves. Many factors should enlarge this market's equity base in the near
term. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, falling inflation, low unemployment,
a highly skilled but low-cost labor market, and a strategic location near
Western European export markets, combine to provide unique opportunities for
investors.

          How can I say all that when there is still considerable uncertainty
about the economic prospects for Eastern Europe overall? First, there is no
denying the commitment of Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus' government to build a
free-market economy and become a key trading partner of the Organization of
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries as soon as possible. The
Czechs have not followed the lead of nearby major foreign investment targets
Poland and Hungary in re-electing former Communists because bringing back the
"old guard" has generally posed major political obstacles to continued
privatization and capital market development.

          The Czechs have a self-generated mass privatization program that the
World Bank and many other expert observers consider a model for other transition
economies. In its "first wave," ending in December 1992, $10.7 billion worth of
formerly state-owned enterprises were sold off. The "second wave," now winding
up, should dispose of about another $5 billion in assets. That means a transfer
of about 80% of the economy into private hands in only two years - a rate that
is remarkable in the former Communist world.

          Even more amazing is the fact that as recently as 1989, the former
Czechoslovakia had the largest state sector of any Warsaw Pact country. Ninety-
seven percent of its economy was controlled by government central planners -
more than in the Soviet Union itself! Mere ownership transfer is not necessarily
the same as true privatization, of course, and just

................................................................................
selling off old Communist albatrosses without proper restructuring doesn't
necessarily spell good news to foreign investors. But the deeper you look at the
Czech program, the better it seems.

          Czechoslovakia was the wealthiest state to emerge from the Austro-
Hungarian Empire after World War I. Its potential was stifled, however, by the
Soviets' near-total nationalization of the economy in the late 1940s. Despite a
well-educated, highly skilled work force, Czechoslovakian annual economic growth
was more than 30 percent below the OECD average by the 1980s. Also, despite the
national consensus to rejoin the West following the November 1989 "Velvet
Revolution," breaking away from a collapsing communist economic union was not
easy. GDP shrank in 1990, 1991, and 1992, and inflation ran high.

          However, the national commitment to building a free market system
never wavered. The political leaders were determined to move state assets back
into private hands as fast as possible, in most cases even before the
restructuring of state-owned enterprises. They decided that in all but the
highest-profile cases market forces - not government bureaucrats - should decide
how the enterprises should be overhauled, and that revenue maximization was in
general not as high a priority as efficiency enhancement and reductions in the
drain on the budget. Privatization takes many forms around the world, but more
than a few analysts have seen the wisdom in the Czech approach.

          May 1992 saw the launch of the first wave of mass privatization, with
1,491 companies targeted to be sold immediately. All citizens 18 years of age
and older could participate in this unprecedented auction by buying a 1,000
"point" voucher book for a (Koruna) 1,000 ($35) fee. That covered the
government's administrative expenses in running the program, and was equal to
about the average weekly wage rate.

          The government made no attempt to set advance prices for the
enterprises. This was done purely through market forces, during five rounds of
bidding held during the following 14 months. Out of an eligible population of
10.5 million, 8.5 million people took part, creating an abundant base of public
shareholders. Most people's "points" (70% by some estimates) were voluntarily
pooled into new Investment Privatization Funds (IPFs) set up primarily by local
financial institutions rather than converted directly into shares. Prior to the
launch of the auction program in early 1992, I was invited to a dinner honoring
Prime Minister Klaus at the boardroom of a prominent Wall Street bank. The
urbane and loquacious bankers did not hide their skepticism about the Czech
government's ability to carry out such a complex and massive program. However,
Klaus was adamant and stated his determination to carry out the privatization
process that way since he was convinced it offered the most equitable
distribution method.

          These voucher funds quickly began to operate essentially like mutual
funds or unit trusts in the West, with far greater buying power than that of
individual small investors. After April 1992, the government placed restrictions
against owning more than 20% of the shares of any one

enterprise, or having any one enterprise take up more than 10% of the
portfolios. Prices were set through a laissez faire five-round bidding process
over eight months in 1992, during which time an active secondary market emerged.
Though the "velvet divorce" that would separate the Czech and Slovak Republics
on January 1, 1993, posed certain political complications for a while, many
crucial foundations for sound capital market development had been set by this
time. When it comes to creating supply for market, and building a large class of
shareholders whose actions could improve corporate governance and performance,
the Czechs appear to have done more than any other Central or Eastern European
country.

          When the Prague Stock Exchange opened for trading in June of 1993,
about 20 large companies were ready for listing. The largest were CEZ, the state
power utility in which the state retained majority ownership, the major banks
and the largest insurance company. Until that time, foreigners had


                              [MAP APPEARS HERE]


relatively few direct ways of buying into the privatization program, and it
wasn't until August 1993 that they were able to buy on the PSE. Many jumped at
the chance, attracted perhaps by the fact that the nearby Warsaw Stock Exchange
in Poland was in the process of becoming the world's best performer for the
year.

          The inflow of foreign funds drove the Prague market capitalization up
to $15 billion by the end of 1993, reaching $25 billion by early March when it
was affected by the worldwide correction in securities markets. Prior to this
correction, the Price/Earnings ratios of the largest companies had hit 22 on
average, and bargains were becoming scarce. For the time being, it seems to have
settled in at about $12 billion.

          Growth seems likely, as 861 companies are scheduled to be sold off
during the current second wave of privatizations. Some, such as

................................................................................

 SPT Telecom (the state-owned telephone company), the water utilities, the gas
utility, and some breweries, pharmaceutical houses and refineries, may choose to
list on the PSE. The government may also use the local market to gradually
dilute its holding in CEZ, which has earned a strong enough credit rating to
enable it to tap the Eurobond markets. The Mexican government did something
similar with Telmex, building the international reputation of both the firm and
the stock exchange in the process. While many political decisions still depend
on the details of the privatization of SPT Telecom, this could provide much new
capital when shares are offered to international buyers. The large banks may
choose to launch capital increases on the market, and many more companies may
soon be able to meet one of the PSE's key listing requirements - having three
years of audited financial statements.

          Rapid development of the Registration Place System, an over-the-
counter market for unlisted securities, has been especially helpful in
facilitating trades by small shareholders. This nationwide electronic network
has generally seen larger daily trading volume than the PSE. Unlike Poland and
Hungary, if you look only at listed equities, you see just a small part of true
market capitalization.

          Of course in a situation as new as this, not everything is perfect.
Regulation and corporate information are still not fully developed, and many of
the privatized enterprises have not yet received the capitalization they need.
But GDP seems likely to grow by up to five percent this year. And with close

reviving German company and an Austria that may soon join the European Union -
to say nothing of the overall benefits that will come if the Czech Republic and
other countries in the region are allowed into the European Union - things look
good. As the decade goes on, we see prospects continuing to improve for Czech
companies, and look forward to taking advantage of them.

                                                                               7

ON
CURRENT
HOLDINGS

Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited - Incorporated in 1971 and listed in 1972, 
Cheung Kong has over the years successfully diversified from property 
development into one of the largest conglomerates in Hong Kong. The major 
shareholder, Li Ka Shing, is regarded by the local business community as one 
of the most successful businessmen in Hong Kong. Together with its 40%-owned 
associated company, Hutchison Whampoa, Cheung Kong's activities permeate a 
wide spectrum of the Hong Kong economy. Hutchison operates container 
terminals in Hong Kong (in Kwai Chung) and the U.K. (Felixstowe Port), 
cellular and paging services in Hong Kong and the U.K., as well as 
supermarkets (Park N Shops) and drug stores (Watsons). Hutchison also owns 
49% of Husky Oil in Canada. Cheung Kong has a 17 million sq. ft. development 
landbank in Hong Kong. Currently, the major property development projects 
are: (1) Kingswood Villas: Located in Tin Shui Wai, this is the largest 
private residential development in the New Territories. It involves the 
construction of 58 residential blocks and one commercial block, equivalent to 
a gross floor area of 11.4 million sq. ft. and 800,000 sq. ft. of residential 
and commercial space, respectively. The project has been partly pre-sold and 
completion is phased between 1991 and 1997; (2) Laguna City: This development 
involves 38 residential blocks, equivalent to 6.5 million sq. ft. and one 
161,000 sq. ft. commercial centre. Mostly pre-sold, this development is 
scheduled for completion in late 1995; (3) South Horizons: This project, 
scheduled for completion in late 1995, involves the development of a gross floor
area of 8.2 million sq. ft. and 300,000 sq. ft. of residential and commercial
space, respectively. In addition, Cheung Kong has interests in numerous projects
in China, including commercial real estate developments, government-supported
housing projects and power stations. Cheung Kong also owns Green Island Cement
which is the largest cement producer in Hong Kong.

Goldlion Holdings Limited - Goldlion is a Hong Kong company established as a 
necktie producer by its current Chairman, Tsang Hin Chi, in 1968. Today, 
Goldlion sells garments (40% of sales), neckties (27%), leather products 
(20%), menswear accessories (5%) and other accessories (8%). The majority of 
raw materials are sourced from OECD countries, especially Italy and Germany, 
to ensure high quality levels. More than one-third of goods

................................................................................

sold are manufactured at the company's production facilities located in China
and Hong Kong. Goldlion's product designs are handled in Germany by its
Dusseldorf office. Most of its existing retail outlets are owned by franchisees.
Goldlion has chosen this route in order to avoid the substantial start-up cash
outflows and management responsibilities associated with retail ownership. China
sales represent 61% of Goldlion's total turnover, with the remainder accounted
for by Hong Kong (26%), Singapore (8%), and other Asian countries (5%). In
China, Goldlion is a leader in terms of brand awareness and retail network.
Goldlion entered China in the early 1980s and is believed to be the first
foreign tie company in the country. Goldlion is an accomplished mid to high end
distributor of quality goods. It has achieved higher brand awareness than its
competitors through heavier advertising, a more extensive retail network, and a
longer history of operations. Goldlion heavily advertises its brands on numerous
TV channels in China. The company has more than 660 franchised retail outlets in
cities throughout China. The plan is to increase the number of retail outlets to
1,000 by the end of 1996. In December 1994, Goldlion opened a joint-venture
department store in Shenyang, China, in which the Goldlion counter supports the
local Goldlion retail operations and acts as a wholesale centre for the
Northeastern part of China.

National Bank of Greece S.A. -  National Bank of Greece is indirectly 
controlled by the Greek government through public entities. The bank has been 
involved in the economic life of Greece for one and a half centuries. It was 
founded in 1841 and was the country's first bank. It was the note-issuing 
bank until 1928. Ever since its foundation, the bank has been one of the 
mainstays of the Greek economy and has risen to the leadership of the 
country's banking system, with a notable presence in the world's foremost 
financial centres. Its head office is in Athens and provides a full range of 
banking services. At present, the assets of National Bank of Greece amount to 
about 60% of the total assets of Greek commercial banks. The bank is also the 
largest in terms of market share (about 40% in loans and 50% in deposits). 
The bank's infrastructure includes: (1) the most extensive network of 
branches (about 500) in Greece and a considerable number of branches and 
affiliated banks abroad; (2) experienced personnel, with a high level of 
professional qualifications and educational background; (3) a decentralized 
administrative system; (4) a direct on-line linkage with almost its entire 
network, providing the fastest possible service to its numerous customers; 
(5) automatic telecommunications links with international money markets; (6) 
a modern dealing room providing customers with fast service in foreign 
exchange transactions; and (7) advanced information technology and data 
processing systems, and a broad range of modern equipment. National Bank of 
Greece has interests in  industrial companies and properties. The bank also 
has subsidiaries involved in leasing, investment management and insurance. 
The bank's long experience, its close ties with manufacturing and trading 
firms, and its extensive infrastructure are major advantages, enabling it to 
provide multifaceted banking services throughout the country, in the fields 
of both retail and corporate banking.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Emerging Markets Series (the Fund) is a separate series of Templeton Institu-
tional 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 principal ex-
change 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 Transactions:
 
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 curren-
cies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such
transactions. When the Fund purchases or sells foreign securities it customar-
ily enters into foreign exchange contracts to minimize 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 fluctuations
arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations
are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from invest-
ments.
 
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 rates.
 
The Brazilian government has exercised and may continue to exercise substan-
tial influence over exchange of their currency. Under current Brazilian law,
whenever there occurs a serious imbalance, Brazil's National Monetary Council
may, for a limited period, impose restrictions on foreign capital remittances
abroad. Exchange control regulations may restrict repatriation of investment
income, capital, or the proceeds of securities sales by foreign investors.
 
c. Income Taxes:
 
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Reve-
nue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all
its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision has been made
for federal income taxes.
 
d. Unamortized Organization 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 the ex-dividend date. Certain dividend income on foreign secu-
rities is recorded as soon as information is available to the Fund. Interest
income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to sharehold-
ers, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are re-
corded on the ex-dividend date.
 
2. TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
At December 31, 1994, there were 520 million shares of capital stock autho-
rized ($0.01 par value) of which 200 million shares have been classified as
Fund shares. Transactions in the Fund's shares were as follows:

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Templeton Institutional Funds, Inc.--Emerging Markets Series
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the investment portfolio, of the Emerging Markets Series of Templeton Institu-
tional Funds, Inc. as of December 31, 1994, and the related statement of opera-
tions for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and
financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from May 3,
1993 (commencement of operations to December 31, 1993. These financial state-
ments and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing stan-
dards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial high-
lights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of De-
cember 31, 1994, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant esti-
mates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Emerging Markets Series of Templeton Institutional Funds, Inc. as of December
31, 1994, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the
financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
