TEMPLETON FUNDS ANNUITY COMPANY
Templeton Funds Annuity Company (the "Company"), the sponsor of Templeton
Immediate Variable Annuity Separate Account (the "Separate Account"), is a
Florida insurance company which was organized on January 25, 1984 and is
licensed to engage in the life insurance business in Florida. The Company is
underwriter of Contracts pursuant to which Templeton Immediate Variable
Annuities are issued, and is custodian of the assets of the Separate Account.
The Company is wholly owned by Franklin Agency, Inc. ("Franklin Agency") and is
located at 700 Central Avenue, St. Petersburg, Florida 33701-3628. Franklin
Agency is an affiliate of Franklin Templeton Distributors, Inc. ("FTD"), a
registered broker-dealer which serves as principal underwriter for all of the
publicly-distributed open- end Templeton Funds. Franklin Agency and FTD are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("Franklin"), a
publicly-traded financial services company whose stock is listed on the New York
Stock Exchange. Franklin and its affiliates act as an investment adviser to
several of the funds in the Franklin Templeton group of funds.
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The firm of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. serves as independent accountant for
the Separate Account.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Performance information for the Separate Account, including yield and total
return, may appear in advertisements, reports, and promotional literature to
current or prospective Contractowners.
Quotations of yield for the Separate Account will be based on all
investment income per Annuity Unit earned during a particular 30-day period,
less expenses accrued during the period ("net
1
<PAGE>
investment income"), and will be computed by dividing net investment income by
the value of the Annuity Unit on the last day of the period, according to the
following formula:
YIELD = 2[((a - b) / 1)6 - 1]
cd
where a = net investment income earned during the period by
the Fund attributable to shares owned by the
Separate Account,
b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements),
c = the average daily number of Annuity Units outstanding
during the period that were entitled to receive
dividends, and
d = the maximum offering price per Annuity Unit on the last
day of the period.
Quotations of average annual total return for the Separate Account will be
expressed in terms of the average annual compounded rate of return of a
hypothetical investment in an Annuity over a period of one, five, and ten years
(or, if less, up to the life of the Separate Account), calculated pursuant to
the following formula: P(1 + T)n = ERV (where P = a hypothetical initial payment
of $1,000, T = the average annual total return, n = the number of years, and ERV
= the ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the
beginning of the period). All total return figures reflect the deduction of the
Mortality and Expense Risk Fee. Performance information for the Separate Account
may also be advertised based on the historical performance of the Fund for
periods beginning prior to the date the Separate Account commenced operations.
Any such performance calculation will be based on the assumption that the
Separate Account was in existence throughout the stated period and that the
contractual charges and expenses of the Separate Account during the period were
equal to those currently assessed under the Contract. Quotations of total return
may simultaneously be shown for the same or other periods that do not take into
account certain contractual charges.
Performance information for the Separate Account may be compared, in
reports and promotional literature, to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index
("S&P 500"), the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA"), or other indices that
measure performance of a pertinent group of securities so that investors may
compare the Separate Account's results with those of a group of securities
widely regarded by investors as representative of the securities markets in
general or representative of a particular type of security. Performance
information may also be compared to (i) other groups of variable annuity
separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services, a widely used independent research firm which ranks mutual funds and
other investment companies by overall performance, investment objectives, and
assets, or tracked by other services, companies, publications or persons who
rank such investment companies on overall performance or other criteria; and
(ii) the Consumer Price Index (measure for inflation) to assess the real rate of
return from an investment in an Annuity. Unmanaged indices may assume the
reinvestment of dividends but generally do not reflect deductions for
administrative and management costs and expenses.
Performance information for the Separate Account reflects only the
performance of a hypothetical Contract, the assets of which are invested in the
Fund, during a particular time period on which the calculations are based.
Performance information should be considered in light of the
2
<PAGE>
investment objectives and policies of the Fund, and the market conditions during
the given time period, and should not be considered as a representation of what
may be achieved in the future.
Reports and promotional literature may also contain other information
including the ranking of the Separate Account derived from rankings of variable
annuity separate accounts or other investment products tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services or by other rating services, companies, publications, or
other persons who rank separate accounts or other investment products on overall
performance or other criteria.
For the one-year period ended December 31, 1995, and for the period of
December 31, 1991 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1995, the average
annual total return of the Separate Account, reflecting the deduction for the
Mortality and Expense Risk Fee, and the annual contract maintenance change was
23.98% and 14.70%, respectively. The performance reflected does not take into
account the annual contract maintenance charge of $30.00.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The financial statements of the Company included in this Statement of
Additional Information ("SAI") should be considered only as bearing on the
ability of the Company to meet its obligations under the Contracts.

TEMPLETON IMMEDIATE VARIABLE ANNUITY SEPARATE ACCOUNT
Notes to Financial Statements
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Templeton Immediate Variable Annuity Separate Account (the Separate Account)
was established on November 6, 1990 by resolution of the Board of Directors of
Templeton Funds Annuity Company (the Company) and is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a unit investment trust. The Separate Account
is sold exclusively for use with the Templeton Immediate Variable Annuity which
is designed to be used to distribute the benefits of tax deferred retirement
plans and to provide annuity income from non-tax qualified accumulation. The
Separate Account invests all its assets in the Templeton Variable Annuity Fund
(the Fund). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
followed by the Separate Account in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. VALUATION OF SECURITIES:
Investment in shares of the Fund are carried in the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities at net asset value (market value).
B. DIVIDENDS:
Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded as income on the
ex-dividend date and reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.
C. INCOME TAXES:
Operations of the Separate Account form a part of the Company, which is taxed as
a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). Under
current law, no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the Separate
Account. Under the principles set forth in Internal Revenue Service Ruling 81-
225 and Section 817(h) of the Code and regulations thereunder, the Company
understands that it will be treated as owner of the assets invested in the
Separate Account for federal income tax purposes, with the result that earnings
and gains, if any, derived from those assets will not be included in an
Annuitant's gross income until amounts are received pursuant to an Annuity.
D. ANNUITY RESERVES:
Annuity reserves are computed according to the 1983a Blended Unisex Mortality
Table, with a 50% male/female content. The assumed interest rate is 5%. Charges
to annuity reserves for mortality experience are reimbursed to the Company if
the reserves required are less than originally estimated. If additional reserves
are required, the Company reimburses the Separate Account.
<PAGE>
2. Periodic Charge
The Company assesses a Periodic Charge against the Separate Account, equal on an
annual basis to 1.2% of Separate Account assets. The Periodic Charge, in the
following amounts, compensates the Company for expenses of administering the
Separate Account and for assuming the risks that mortality experience will be
lower than the rate assumed and the expenses will be greater than what is
assumed: 0.6% to cover expense risk and 0.6% to cover the mortality risk. The
Periodic Charge is guaranteed as to Annuities issued prior to the effective date
of any change in the Periodic Charge.
3. Investment Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 1995, purchases and sales of Templeton
Variable Annuity Fund shares aggregated $312,364 and $311,670 respectively.
Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis.
4. Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Separate Account to
concentrations of credit risk consist of investments in the Templeton Variable
Annuity Fund. The Fund's investment securities are managed by professional
investment managers within established guidelines. As of December 31, 1995, in
management's opinion, the Separate Account had no significant concentrations of
credit risk.

TEMPLETON FUNDS ANNUITY COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
NATURE OF BUSINESS - Templeton Funds Annuity Company (the Company) is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Templeton Global Investors, Inc. (TGII). Prior to December
1, 1993, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Templeton Funds
Management, Inc. (TFM). On December 1, 1993, all of the Company's stock was
transferred to TGII by dividend. On October 30, 1992, as part of a merger
agreement between TGII's parent and Franklin Resources, Inc. (Franklin), the
stock of TGII was sold to Franklin. As a result of the merger, the Company
became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin. On January 1, 1996,
ownership of the Company was transferred to Franklin Agency, Inc.
The Company operates as a life insurance enterprise, with its principal product
being variable annuity contracts sold to participants throughout the 39 states
and the District of Columbia where it is licensed to do business. The Company
has established the Templeton Funds Retirement Annuity Separate Account and the
Templeton Immediate Variable Annuity Separate Account (the Separate Accounts),
which are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as unit
investment trusts. The Separate Accounts constitute separate records of the
Company's fiduciary responsibility to fund its liability to holders of the
variable annuity contracts. Investment income, gains and losses of the separate
accounts are not reflected in the Company's financial statements. The Company is
also engaged in certain reinsurance activities as described in Note 4.
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows:
BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The accompanying financial statements are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which differ in some
respects with accounting practices prescribed by the Insurance Department of the
State of Florida. The more significant differences are as follows: (a) policy
reserves are not computed on "surplus relief" contracts which do not transfer
substantial risk to the Company, (b) unrealized investment gains and losses are
reported as a separate component of stockholder's equity, (c) deferred income
taxes are recognized, and (d) deferral of policy acquisition costs.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Company to use estimates and assumptions
based on analytical methods in determining deferred acquisition costs, deferred
income taxes, liabilities for future annuity benefits, and various other
accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS - For purposes of statement of cash flows, the Company
considers all debt instruments which have a maturity of three months or less
from the date of purchase and other highly liquid investments which are readily
convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at
cost, which approximates value.
VALUATION OF SECURITIES - Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS No.
115), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, that
addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in marketable equity
securities and for all investments in debt securities. SFAS No. 115 requires
investments in debt and marketable equity securities to be classified in three
categories and accounted for as follows: held to maturity (recorded at amortized
cost), available for sale (recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and
losses reported as a separate component of stockholder's equity), and trading
securities (recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in
earnings). As investments in securities were previously stated at value and were
<PAGE>
deemed to be available for sale, there was no cumulative effect of adopting SFAS
No. 115. The cost of investments sold is determined by specific identification.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS - The assets of the Separate Accounts are stated at market
value and are not subject to claims which may arise out of other business
activities of the Company. Investment income and investment gains and losses
related to the assets of the Separate Accounts accrue directly to the contract
holders.
Annuity reserves held in the Separate Accounts are computed according to the
1983a Blended Unisex Mortality Table with a 50% male/female content. The assumed
interest rates are 9%, 7%, 5%, and 3%. Changes to annuity reserves for mortality
experience are reimbursed to the Company if the reserves required are less than
originally estimated. If additional reserves are required, the Company
reimburses the Separate Accounts.
RECOVERABLE ON FUTURE ANNUITY BENEFITS LIABILITY - This recoverable represents
assets held by the ceding insurance company for holders of variable annuity
contracts issued under a modified coinsurance agreement described in Note 4.
DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS - The costs of acquiring new business,
principally first-year commissions, have been deferred. These acquisition costs
are being amortized in proportion to the present value of expected future gross
profits. Unamortized deferred acquisition costs of approximately $239,000 and
$117,000 are included in other assets at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
LIABILITY FOR FUTURE ANNUITY BENEFITS - The liability for future annuity
benefits represents annuity reserves the Company has assumed under a modified
coinsurance agreement described in Note 4. Annuity reserves are computed
according to the 1983a Blended Unisex Mortality Table with a 50% male/female
content. The assumed interest rates are 5% and 3%.
REVENUES - Premiums and annuity considerations are recognized when due. Business
management fees are recorded as revenue when earned. Interest and dividends are
recognized on the accrual basis.
INCOME TAXES - Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences which
represent the differences between the tax bases of unrealized investment gains
and losses, and death and surrender benefits and reserves for policy benefits
and the amounts at which these items are reported in the financial statements
using the enacted marginal tax rate. Deferred income tax expense or credits are
based on changes in the asset or liability from period to period. Deferred tax
amounts are adjusted to reflect changes in tax rates or other provisions of tax
law in the period in which a new tax law is enacted.
RECLASSIFICATION - Certain amounts in the 1993 and 1994 financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in 1995.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Company provides business management services to certain Templeton mutual
funds. Total business management fee revenue for these services amounted to
$1,393,325, $1,024,304, and $584,766 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
Expenses related to business management services provided by TFM and TGII of
$297,680, $216,664, and $120,833 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively, are
included in other expenses in the accompanying financial statements.
The Company shares office space, personnel and other common administrative
expenses with its
<PAGE>
parent and affiliated companies. Rent is allocated on the basis of square
footage utilized; administrative and shared expenses are allocated on the basis
of the number of employees. Total rental and administrative cost amounted to
$114,208, $54,693 and $21,399 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company also provides group term life insurance coverage on the employees of
certain affiliated companies. The Company reinsures a portion of its risk with
another company. Net premiums from group term life insurance amounted to
$63,118, $44,997 and $35,172 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
4. REINSURANCE:
The Company has assumed a portion of risk associated with specified insurance
policies written by the ceding company under a bulk reinsurance agreement, which
is in substance a surplus relief contract. The Company has retroceded a portion
of its assumed risk, and has structured the agreement so that its net risk
decreases annually to zero over a ten-year period. The Company has determined
that its risk of material loss under the bulk reinsurance agreement is remote
and, accordingly, accounts for the contracts as financing transactions and
provides no reserves.
Effective July 1, 1994, the Company entered into a modified coinsurance
agreement, whereby the Company assumes a 50% quota share of single premium
immediate variable annuity contracts issued by the ceding company.
The Company has also ceded a portion of its risk related to group term life
insurance coverage provided to employees of certain affiliated companies.
An analysis of the impact of reinsurance on the Company's operations is as
follows:
1995 1994 1993
Direct premiums and annuity
considerations $ 576,926 $2,187,478 $1,431,413
Assumed premiums and annuity

(40,107) (31,132) (23,185)
Premiums and annuity considerations
$3,905,740 $2,383,931 $1,408,228
The Company is contingently liable for reinsurance ceded to reinsurance
companies in the event such reinsurance companies are unable to pay their
portion of the claims. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its
reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar
geographic regions, activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurance to
minimize exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. At December
31, 1995, the Company does not believe there to be a significant concentration
of credit risk related to its reinsurance program.

5. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN:
The Company's parent has a defined contribution retirement plan covering
substantially all of the Company's employees. The Company's contribution to the
plan for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $65,070, $83,632
and $42,935, respectively.
6. INCOME TAXES:
The provisions for federal and state income taxes for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:
1995 1994 1993
Federal $ 232,441 $ 154,240 $ 307,472
State 36,480 39,900 51,364
$ 268,921 $ 194,140 $ 358,836
Income tax expense is less than the expected statutory rate due to the benefit
of Alternative Minimum Tax credits and tax-exempt interest.
Deferred income tax credits reflected in the statement of income arise primarily
from death and surrender benefits, and the net decrease in reserves under the
reinsurance and retrocession agreements.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the tax effects of temporary differences resulted
in net deferred tax payables of $540,000 and $76,000, respectively, computed as
follows:
1995 1994
Reserves under reinsurance and
retrocession agreements,
net of death and surrender
benefits $ 79,000 $ 113,000
Unrealized gains and (losses) on investments
470,000 (29,000)
Deferred bonuses (9,000) (8,000)
$ 540,000 $ 76,000

8. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of
credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and separate account
assets. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with what it
believes to be high credit quality financial institutions.
Separate account assets principally consist of investments in Templeton Variable
Annuity Fund, an open-end diversified management investment company whose
investments are managed by professional investment managers within established
guidelines. As of December 31, 1995, in management's opinion the Company has no
concentration of credit risk.
