REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust
Franklin Value Investors Trust
Institutional Fiduciary Trust
Franklin Capital Growth Fund
Franklin High Income Trust
Franklin Multi-Income Trust
We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management
Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, about the funds' (hereafter referred to as the "Funds") compliance
(see Attachment I) with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule
17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the Act") as of May 31, 2004.
Management is responsible for the Funds' compliance with those requirements. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the
Funds' compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Funds' compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests
performed as of May 31, 2004, and with respect to agreement of security
purchases and sales, for the periods indicated in Attachment I:
o Inspection of the records of Franklin Templeton Investor Services,
Inc. as they pertain to the security positions owned by the Funds and held
in book entry form.
o Reconciliation of such security positions to the books and records
of the Funds.
o Agreement of a sample of security purchases and sales since our last
report to the books and records of the Funds.
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our
examination does not provide a legal determination on the Funds' compliance with
specified requirements.
In our opinion, management's assertion that the Funds were in compliance with
the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as of May 31, 2004 with respect to securities reflected in
the investment accounts of the Funds is fairly stated, in all material respects.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of
Trustees, management, and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.

MANAGEMENT STATEMENT REGARDING COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN
PROVISIONS OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
We, as members of management of the Franklin Templeton Funds indicated in
Attachment I (the "Funds"), are responsible for complying with the requirements
of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2, "Custody of Investments by Registered
Management Investment Companies," of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We are
also responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls
over compliance with those requirements. We have performed an evaluation of the
Funds' compliance with the requirements of subsection (b) of Rule 17f-2, as
interpreted in Franklin Investors Securities Trust SEC No-Action Letter
(publicly available September 24, 1992), and subsection (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as of May 31, 2004, and for the periods
indicated in Attachment I.
Based on this evaluation, we assert that the Funds were in compliance with the
requirements of subsection (b) of Rule 17f-2, as interpreted in Franklin
Investors Securities Trust SEC No-Action Letter (publicly available September
24, 1992), and subsection (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as of May 31, 2004, and for the periods indicated in Attachment I, with
respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds.
