Review of activities of Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund: During the year under review, the mutual fund industry saw fewer inflows compared to previous year. However, there was increase in value of assets managed (AAUM) by the industry on account changes in valuation. The industry also saw launch of many closed end equity funds on the expectation of revival of the economy. During the year, no schemes were launched by Franklin Templeton. However, the asset allocation pattern of Templeton India Treasury Management Account (TITMA)* was changed w.e.f. June 12, 2013 to allow greater flexibility for the investment team and to help them take advantage of the opportunities in the fixed income / money market space. *Templeton India Treasury Management Account (TITMA) will be renamed as Franklin India Treasury Management Account (FITMA) w.e.f. June 30, 2014. Significant regulatory change with respect to Product Labeling of schemes was implemented with effect from July 01, 2013. Further, AMFI Best Practice on Employee Unique Identification Number (EUIN) was also implemented during the year. During FY14, Franklin Templeton saw a good progress in terms of investment performance, investor communication and product innovation. The firm continuously aims to deliver consistent long term performance. The total assets under management (AUM) grew by 23.8% in FY14, as against industry growth of 17.7% over the same period. The growth in AUM for Franklin Templeton has been driven by growth in income, liquid and overseas feeder fund assets. (AUM Source: Amfi website) Our focus has been to provide relevant and well managed products for Indian investors. During the year, an extensive review of existing product Page - 1

bouquet was conducted in order to ensure product relevance and fill the gaps wherever observed. The AMC has put in efforts to bring new products such as a European feeder fund and a Banking & PSU Debt Fund, while also trying to restructure some of the existing offerings. During the year, AMC undertook various investor education and awareness initiatives including launch of Franklin Templeton Academy online portal (www.franklintempletonacademy.com). Till date we have published 22 videos, 16 web banners and 220 quiz questions in five languages. Since the date of launching, this initiative has already garnered more than 3.81 lac website visits via various modes such as websites, micro sites, and social media. We are happy to state that, till May 21, 2014, nearly 53,000 video views have been recorded on the site. Franklin Templeton continues to use social media and other digital assets to promote the brand. We have also launched a mobile (launched in April 2013) and tablet website (launched in January 2014) to ensure that existing and prospective clients have updated information available to them across different platforms. With an endeavor to promote mutual funds to the smaller towns and cities, Franklin Templeton is launching a District Adoption Program in ten districts in the country. Scheme performance, future outlook and operations of the schemes: The fund is a three year closed end fund investing in high quality fixed income securities in line with portfolio duration alongside taking marginal exposure to equities. Both the debt and equity portfolios are conservatively managed. On the equities front, the closed end nature of the fund helps the fund managers take a long term view on investments. Typically, the fund holds the debt investments till maturity, in order to reduce/minimize interest rate risks. The scheme matured on February 6, 2014 and its performance since inception to maturity is summarized below Plan/Benchmark Franklin Templeton Fixed Tenure Fund Series XV Period ended February 6, 2014 Since Inception* 7.18% 7.37% Scheme Benchmark^ 4.04% 6.60% Crisil 10-year Gilt Index (additional benchmark) -1.70% 4.76% ^ 20% S&P CNX 500 + 70% Crisil Composite Bond Fund Index + 10% Crisil Liquid Fund Index *compounded & annualized returns.

Significant regulatory changes: During the year, SEBI Board approved Long Term Policy for Mutual Funds in India, the first of its kind for mutual funds.

The policy includes different aspects like enhancing the reach and promoting financial inclusion, tax treatment, investor education & awareness, etc. The policy also includes certain tax related proposals like enhancing limit for tax exemption and introduction of retirement linked plans. However, few of these proposals require approval from Central Government. In line with the aforesaid policy, SEBI has enhanced disclosure requirements for mutual funds. Mutual funds are required to disclose details on AUM based on different parameters. Further, in order to enhance corporate governance standards, mutual funds are now required to disclose voting pattern along with rationale for votes cast in respect of certain proposals of investee company. Mutual funds are required to introduce investor awareness campaign in regional languages through print and electronic media. SEBI has also asked mutual funds to explore alternative distribution strategies especially through internet and mobile. Investors are requested to note: As part of the brand evolution project, the global team at Franklin Templeton had undertaken a strategic review of our master brand, sub-brand, and global product naming conventions. This review led to recommendations to modify our brand architecture to simplify and standardize our branding and product naming conventions around the world. As a result, we will be undergoing changes in some of our fund names with effect from June 30th, 2014. Please note that only fund names are changing there are no changes in investment objectives or the way in which the funds are managed. SEBI revised the format of the KYC form to facilitate uniform KYC for the entire financial sector and avoid repeated modifications in the KRA system. Investors are required to provide certain information like gross annual income, networth, etc. in the application form of the concerned intermediary. Valuation policy and related disclosures are available on our website for reference of the investors.
