          Investing in developing markets involves special
          considerations, which may include risks related to market
          and currency volatility, adverse social and political
          developments, and the relatively small size and lesser
          liquidity of these markets. These special considerations are
          discussed in the Fund's prospectus. The Fund is designed for
          the aggressive portion of a well-diversified portfolio.

           Dear Shareholder...

                Strong performance in emerging market equities so far this year
has been driven by renewed confidence and the return of foreign capital. With
many of the developing markets continuing to recover, the Templeton
Institutional Funds, Inc. Emerging Markets Series (the "Fund") returned 4.5% for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to the IFC Investable Composite return
of 4.3% for the same period. For the one year period ending June 30, 1996, the
Fund returned 11.7% versus the IFC Investable Composite return of 10.7%. On an
annualized basis, the Fund has had an average return of 9.4% since inception,
versus the IFC return of 13.4% for the same period. During the quarter, our
bottom-up analysis uncovered new opportunities in a number of countries,
including Croatia, Russia, Slovak Republic, Ecuador, Peru, Morocco, and
Zimbabwe.

                We believe that the emerging markets still offer good value over
the long term. Now that the memories of Mexico's peso devaluation have faded,
international investors seem to be prepared to accept the risks that accompany
the potential rewards of investing in developing markets. The main factor
driving the rise in emerging markets is the relative attractiveness of their
earnings and growth potential at a time when developed market investors,
particularly in the United States, are looking for alternative investment
opportunities/options. Many investors are taking profits from phenomenal gains
in the U.S. market and are searching for new investments in which to place their
funds. In addition, portfolios which are overweighted in U.S. investments are
being rebalanced. Both factors have augmented the pool of capital sweeping into
emerging markets. Foreign money pouring into emerging markets in 1996 is
expected to reach US$50 billion. While short of 1993's peak inflows of US$62
billion, this figure would represent a substantial improvement over 1995's US$15
billion inflow. Asia is expected to receive at least 30% of the total inflow.

Mark Mobius joined Templeton in 1987 as managing director of its Far East
Division in Hong Kong, with responsibility for the Templeton group's research
expertise, principally in emerging markets countries. In this capacity, he
directs the analysts based in Hong Kong, Singapore and manages our emerging
markets portfolios. Dr. Mobius has spent over twenty years working in Asia, and
has extensive experience in economic research and analysis.

Prior to joining Templeton, from 1983 to 1986 he was president of International
Investment Trust Company Ltd. in Taipei, Taiwan - that country's first and
largest investment management firm. Before that, he served as a director at
Vickers da Costa, an international securities firm. Initially, he started in
that firm's Hong Kong office in 1980, and then moved to Taiwan in 1983 to open
that firm's office there and to direct operations in India, Indonesia, Thailand,
the Philippines, and Korea. Before joining Vickers, Dr. Mobius operated his own
consulting firm in Hong Kong for ten years, and was a research scientist for
Monsanto Overseas Enterprises Company in Hong Kong and the American Institute
for Research in Korea and Thailand.

Dr. Mobius holds Bachelors and Masters Degrees from Boston University, and
received his Ph.D. in Economics and Political Science in 1964 from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He also studied at the University of
Wisconsin, University of New Mexico, and Kyoto University in Japan.

               *Equity includes convertible and preferred stocks


         Continued strong economic growth indicates to investors that Asian
companies still have positive earnings potential, especially when competing
markets like Japan and developed European markets are only likely to experience
3% growth this year at best. As Asian countries have the most developed markets
among the emerging markets, foreign investment is concentrated there. The
financial liberalization and market reforms that were initiated in Asia are
paying off, as Asian countries are able to harness the capital of foreign
investors for the productive use of local business development. Given the steady
economic growth and business expansion that characterizes Asian countries over
the past several years, it is no wonder that a considerable portion of the
overseas investment is finding a home in Asia.

         The portfolio continued to maintain a large weighting in Hong Kong. We
have a very positive outlook on the prospects of the Hong Kong economy after the
China take-over. In general, we believe that Hong Kong companies should continue
to thrive after 1997, and earnings should continue to rise as a result of rapid
economic growth on the mainland, which should boost trade through Hong Kong and
increase earnings of companies with a presence on the mainland. Of course, past
performance is no guarantee of future results. It is difficult, however, to see
how the Chinese equity markets, in the short and medium term after 1997, could
overshadow those of Hong Kong. There is no replacement for experience and
investor confidence, of which Hong Kong has plenty. The real issue is to what
extent synergies can be found between the markets, and clues to this are already
evident in the guidance that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has provided to the
Chinese B-share markets on matters such as disclosure. If China and Hong Kong
can maintain equity market cooperation after 1997, there is no reason not to
expect the Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Shenzhen exchanges to all flourish. Most
investors have now acquired a deeper appreciation of the economic realities of
Hong Kong, most importantly that Hong Kong is a rich economy precisely because
of its ties to China. Reunification after 1997 should only enhance the mutually
beneficial economic relationship. Recognizing the professionalism of Hong Kong's
market and its considerable involvement with China already, investors are
anticipating the new business opportunities that will be created by
reunification and perceive it as largely the same game on a bigger playing
field, not the end of the game itself. Based on our experience in Hong Kong and
China, we believe that the incentives exist on all sides to see that the process
is completed successfully. We believe that any short-term wrinkles will be
ironed out through negotiation and consultation, culminating in stronger stock
markets in both Hong Kong and China over the long term.

         We continue to consider countries such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Israel,
and United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) to be emerging rather than developed. In the
case of Israel and U.A.E., there are such extremes in income distribution that
they cannot be viewed as developed. Hong Kong will as of July 1, 1997, be part
of China, itself an emerging market.

Singapore depends heavily on Malaysia for most of its resources and must be seen
as an integral part of this emerging market.
         Central and Eastern Europe are other regions that present many
investment opportunities. Although some capital markets in Eastern Europe are
less structured and adhere to less restructive securities regulations than many
Asian countries, companies in these regions tend to have relatively lower
valuations and are generally under-researched. Hungary is one of the most
exciting of the emerging markets to spring from behind the Iron Curtain, and it
has attracted significant attention from foreign investors. Hungary's stock
market, the Budapest Stock Exchange (BSE), reopened in 1990 after a 45 year
hiatus. There are no regulations on entry into or exit from the equity market
for foreign investors, although there is a withholding tax on dividends and 
long-term capital gains for listed shares on the BSE. Although Hungary's economy
is only half the size of Poland's, inflows of foreign direct and portfolio
investment into Hungary in 1994 were almost triple those into Poland. In a push
which began in November 1995, Hungary initiated the sale of five gas
distribution companies, which netted the government US$461 million. Despite
Hungary's disproportionate claim on foreign investment capital flowing into the
Central and Eastern European regions, Poland, the Czech Republic, and the Slovak
Republic have also attracted significant foreign investment capital. In Poland,
major privatizations include that of state airline Polskie Lotnicze SA and two
large state banks. Poland's Bank Gdanski became the first Polish company to go
global, when it issued 4.8 million Global Depository Receipt shares in London
back in December of 1995. At the same time, the Mass Privatization Program (MPP)
in Poland is well on its way. Between November 1995 and end of March 1996, 9.1
million vouchers were sold to the Polish public. This represents a 51% stake in
over 500 Polish companies that have been designated as part of the MPP program.
Lately, overall privatization seems to have slowed somewhat. The good news is
that we see most emerging markets moving swiftly towards expanded privatization,
culminating in healthy, variegated stock markets.
         We are excited about the prospects for many emerging markets. Of
particular interest at the moment are Russia, India, Brazil, and China. These
emerging market countries are all embarking on rapid structural changes in their
economies, and all are large markets with the potential to become world leaders.
Apart from the 'big-four' emerging markets, the best bargains are likely to be
found in Hong Kong, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Turkey, Greece, Portugal,
Argentina, and Mexico. In the Africa/Middle East region, we are becoming
interested in South Africa, Egypt, and Nigeria. Although Templeton chooses
stocks and not countries or regions, we are excited about prospects in Latin
America, where many countries have shown improving fundamentals in recent years,
including falling inflation and interest rates, and have also moved toward free
market economies.

         Over the next 12 months, Templeton will continue to add depth. We
anticipate hiring more analysts and opening more offices around the world to
make our emerging markets group one of the most extensive emerging market
organizations. We now have offices in Argentina, Russia, Poland, South Africa,
India, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Singapore. We intend to have offices in the
Middle East, Brazil, and Japan. While Japan is not an emerging market, it
enables us to cover Northeast Asia and companies in Japan, which have
investments in emerging markets. We continue to follow the time-tested Templeton
approach of being patient, long-term investors utilizing a bottom-up process
that we believe will continue to provide incremental value to our clients over
the long term.

                             The following are Dr. Mobius's thoughts 
                               regarding a recent visit to Portugal
                               with the emerging markets team.
 

        Country
               -----------------------------------------------------------------
          FOCUS   LISBON, Portugal - It is always a pleasure coming to Portugal
                  since the people are so hospitable and the general atmosphere
                  is so genteel. When I first visited the country in 1988, it
                  was very much a backwater country and was still shaking off
                  the cobwebs of many years of dictatorship and military rule.
                  Now the cities and villages around the country are vibrant
                  with life and activity. Most evident is the growth in modern
                  retail distribution networks and a wider selection of consumer
                  goods in the shops.
                          We started our trip to Portugal with the emerging
                  markets, in general, experiencing a bull run, and Portugal was
                  no exception. The Lisbon BVL General Index was up about 15%
                  from January to May. In fact, the last ten years has seen
                  rapid expansion in the Portuguese stock market. In 1985, there
                  were only 24 listed companies on the exchange, yet by 1995,
                  that number had increased to 169. Although Portugal's economic
                  growth rate has not been fast compared to the spectacular
                  rates of growth seen in other emerging market countries,
                  particularly in Asia, growth here has still topped growth in
                  many developed countries over the last ten years, fueling the
                  rapid expansion of the stock market.
                          The Portuguese economy is being more and more affected
                  and directed by developments in the rest of Europe, and less
                  by domestic, political, and economic considerations. Just
                  prior to my visit, the country had changed to two political
                  elections, one for the parliament and one for the presidency.
                  The Socialist Party won the parliamentary elections, though
                  they fell short of obtaining an absolute majority by four
                  seats. However, it is clear that whichever party is in
                  control, the government remains committed to meeting the
                  Maastricht criteria so that Portugal can participate in the
                  European Monetary Union (EMU) and eventually share a common
                  currency with the rest of Europe. Policies are, therefore,
                  being designed by the new government to ensure that there is a
                  convergence of inflation, and interest rate levels, towards
                  the European Union (EU) levels. As such, there is considerable
                  political will to over-ride other domestic issues, such as
                  unemployment and the social security budget, that might
                  sidetrack Portugal from monetary convergence with its EU
                  neighbors. This political will is reinforced by Portugal's
                  proximity to its EU neighbor--Spain. It is

                                                                               5

                        difficult for Portugal to ignore developments that are
                        occurring just across its border. For example, a 10%
                        difference in the value added tax charged on soft drinks
                        between Portugal and Spain results in large retailers in
                        Portugal purchasing international brands of soft drinks
                        from Spain.

                                        There are two factors that should prove
                        favorable for the continued expansion of Portugal's
                        stock market. First, and foremost, the government is
                        looking to boost its privatization program. The proceeds
                        from privatization are expected to reach 380 billion
                        escudos in 1996 (approximately US$2.4 billion). The
                        auction block of companies in the government's
                        privatization programs include banks, a cement company,
                        a petroleum company, a shipyard, a power company,
                        additional shares in Portugal Telecom, two tobacco
                        companies, a mining company and an agriculture company.
                        Secondly, significant corporate restructuring has taken
                        place in recent years in order to cut costs and improve
                        corporate earnings, and this process is likely to
                        continue.
                                        In recent years, there has been
                        considerable consolidation in the banking sector, which
                        is probably the most important sector in Portugal's
                        stock market. In 1995, Banco Portugues do Atlantico
                        (BPA) was purchased by Banco Comercial Portugues (BCP).
                        Also, Antonio Champalimaud, a Portuguese who returned
                        from Brazil, reassembled his financial empire, which was
                        nationalized in the 1970s, and combined Banco Portugues
                        Sotto Mayor (BPSM), Mundial Confianca, an insurance
                        company, and Banco Totta & Acores. The move towards the
                        merging of large groups of insurance and banking
                        companies has resulted in a number of synergies. One
                        company told us that they were able to save
                        significantly in the bulk buying of both supplies and
                        services, such as security services. By hiring one
                        security company to pick up cash from different
                        locations in different branches of their various
                        subsidiaries, they were able to save money. In another
                        case, they were also able to reduce their total
                        telephone bill by 6%. Company restructuring in Portugal,
                        however, can be an expensive process, due to the high
                        cost of dismissing workers. If a company fires a worker,
                        then the cost of dismissal is typically one month's
                        wages for every year of employment, given as a special
                        bonus. Although bank margins are good, generally
                        averaging between 2.5% and 3.7%, taxes are high, and
                        banks have been trying to reduce their tax burden by
                        moving some operations to tax havens, such as Madeira.

                                        Another interesting transformation that
                        is taking place in Portugal is in the retail market.
                        Over the last decade, traditional retail outlets were
                        overtaken by large retail organizations. As a result,
                        hypermarket and supermarket sales now represent over 30%
                        of the total retail market. The country currently has
                        about 35 hypermarkets, 680 supermarkets and 280 hardgood
                        discount markets. Shopping centers are now splattered
                        across most parts of the country. However, supermarket
                        operators are being hampered by restrictions on the size
                        of stores that are allowed. These regulations were
                        designed to protect small retailers who were gradually
                        being squeezed out of

        the market by the entry of large hypermarkets and supermarkets. One
        supermarket and hypermarket operator mentioned that since 1994, stores
        of over 2,000 square meters were required to have national licenses that
        were difficult to obtain. The company solved this problem by dividing
        their large shopping centers into separate units of less than 2,000
        square meters each. For example, each complex has separate stores for
        hardgoods and furniture, and separate textile shops. They are all run as
        a single store, but from a legal and tax point of view, they are
        separate.
                        In the communication sector, the merger of three
        government-owned, or government-controlled, telecommunication
        companies, including Marconi (which was a listed company), into one
        single organization, Portugal Telecom, has transformed the sector.
        Portugal Telecom has the exclusive right to operate fixed lines until
        the year 2003. As inter-urban and international call tariffs decline, it
        is expected that traffic will rise. Before the reorganization, there was
        a long waiting list for telephone lines. After the reorganization took
        place, the rate at which installations have been made has accelerated.

                          ON    PT Anwar Sierad - The company was established in
                     CURRENT    1981 as a day-old chick (DOC) producer, and
                    HOLDINGS    started commercial operations in 1983. It has
                                since grown to become Indonesia's third largest
                                poultry producer. The main market is Jakarta,
                                which has the highest purchasing power. Anwar
                                Sierad used to derive its earnings mainly from
                                DOC sales. In 1985, Anwar Sierad established
                                Betara Darma, which manages contract growing
                                farms, as well as operating a dressing plant and
                                a fast food restaurant chain called Hook's. In
                                1989, the company established Sierad Feedmill
                                which manufactures animal feed. In 1990, the
                                company established Sierad Corporation, which
                                distributes poultry equipment to the Group and
                                its subsidiaries, and trades in raw feed
                                materials to third parties both inside and
                                outside the Jabotabek area. Anwar Sierad's
                                operations are highly integrated, covering feed,
                                poultry equipment distribution, DOCs, contract
                                farming, slaughter house, and fast food
                                retailing. The main objective of the company in
                                establishing its subsidiaries is to support its
                                core business - the breeding of DOC final stock.
                                The company purchases broiler and layer parent
                                stock chicks, breeds them and hatches their eggs
                                into day-old final stock. The marketing and
                                distribution of the company's products are
                                handled by the marketing division of the company
                                together with Sierad Corporation. The DOCs are
                                sold directly to contract farmers or through
                                poultry shops.

                                Perlis Plantations Berhad - Incorporated in 1968
                                as a sugar cane plantation company, Perlis

                                the Kuok group. It is currently the largest
                                sugar producer in Malaysia, and its sugar-based
                                operations command around 70% of the Malaysian
                                sugar refining market. About 65-70% of its raw
                                sugar requirements is sourced from Australia on
                                a long-term basis, 22-27% is purchased from the
                                open market, and the balance comes from its own
                                Chuping Plantation. Its fully integrated sugar
                                business is a 100% subsidiary of Malayan Sugar

        and resorts, primarily in Kuala Lumpur and
        Penang. Shangri-la's wholly-owned Rasa Sayang
        Beach Hotel owns and operates four resort hotels
        with a total of approximately 1,300 rooms in
        Penang. In the property sector, its subsidiary
        PPB Hartabina is owner and developer of Taman
        Segar in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. Another
        subsidiary Golden Communications owns a chain of
        33 cinema houses in Malaysia. PPB is also
        engaged in retailing through the Kerry Group.
        Other subsidiaries and associated companies
        manufacture formalin, adhesive resins, rubber
        gloves, and detergent related products.
        
        Daegu Bank - The bank was founded in October
        1967 to provide banking services to the
        relatively affluent and industrialized city of
        Taegu, where Korea's textile industry is based.
        The bank currently has a branch network of 139
        outlets, three of which are located in Seoul,
        two in Pusan, and the others mostly in other
        parts of Southeastern Korea. Daegu Bank is
        currently the largest of the ten regional banks
        in Korea in terms of total assets. Daegu
        accounts for over one-third of the total loans
        and deposits of the Kyungsanbuk Province, and
        8.4% and 6.6% of Korea's total loans and total
        deposits, respectively. Approximately 80% of
        Daegu Bank's loan portfolio is extended to small
        to medium companies which are highly dependent
        on the textile industry. The bank has a good
        reputation for its conservative lending policy
        and its relatively low non-performing loan
        ratio. It achieved "A" ratings in 1993 in the
        evaluation of its management and financial
        performance by the Office of Bank Supervision.
        The evaluation took into account the overall
        profitability, liquidity, adequacy of internal
        reserves, competence of the management, and the
        public confidence showed in the bank. Daegu Bank
        is expected to benefit from banking
        deregulation, including a relaxation of
        territorial restrictions on provincial banks by
        allowing them to operate more branches in Seoul
        and five other major cities. Expected to be
        enacted in the near future, banking regulations
        may also liberalize interest rates and
        commissions, and allow provincial banks to enter
        the investment trust business. Daegu Bank has
        diversified into non-banking financial services
        (through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Daegu
        Mutual Savings & Finance Company) and leasing
        (through its 57%-owned subsidiary, Daegu Leasing
        Company).

                                                                               9

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
Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital growth by investing in securities of
issuers of countries having emerging markets. 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 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 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 Brazilian currency. Under Brazilian law, when-
ever 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.
 
f. 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 expense during the report-
ing period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2. TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
At June 30, 1996, there were 700 million shares of the Company's ($0.01 par
value) capital stock authorized of which 200 million shares have been classi-
fied as Fund shares. Transactions in the Fund's shares were as follows:
