See Notes to Statement of Investments. Quarterly Statement of Investments | 7 Templeton Global Income Fund NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION Templeton Global Income Fund (Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end investment company. 2. SECURITY VALUATION Securities listed on a securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Over-the-counter securities and listed securities for which there is no reported sale are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value. Corporate debt securities and government securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. The Fund may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from bond dealers, and information with respect to bond and note transactions, to assist in determining a current market value for each security. The Fund's pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing which considers information with respect to comparable bond and note transactions, quotations from bond dealers, or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate and maturity date, option adjusted spread models, prepayment projections, interest rate spreads and yield curves, to determine current value. The Fund has procedures to determine the fair value of individual securities and other assets for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. Methods for valuing these securities may include: fundamental analysis, matrix pricing, discounts from market prices of similar securities, or discounts applied due to the nature and duration of restrictions on the disposition of the securities. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such investments existed. Occasionally, events occur between the time at which trading in a security is completed and the close of the NYSE that might call into question the availability (including the reliability) of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services. All security valuation procedures are approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. 8 | Quarterly Statement of Investments Templeton Global Income Fund NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) 3.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" (SFAS 157), on September 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Fund has determined that the implementation of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements. Quarterly Statement of Investments | 13 Templeton Global Income Fund NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED) SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund's own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy: - Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities - Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.) - Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2008, in valuing the Fund's assets and liabilities carried at fair value: LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL ------------ ------------ ------- ------------ ASSETS: Investments in Securities ........... $101,569,380 $654,756,103 $-- $756,325,483 Other Financial Instruments(a) ...... -- 192,274,207 -- 192,274,207 LIABILITIES: Other Financial Instruments(a) ...... -- 29,506,623 -- 29,506,623 (a) Other financial instruments include net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward exchange contracts and swaps. 7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 2008, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" (SFAS 161), which expands disclosures about derivative investments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying the various provisions of SFAS 161. For information on the Fund's policy regarding other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Fund's most recent semiannual or annual shareholder report. 14 | Quarterly Statement of Investments Templeton Global Income Fund NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) ABBREVIATIONS CURRENCY AUD - Australian Dollar BRL - Brazilian Real CHF - Swiss Franc CLP - Chilean Peso CZK - Czech Koruna EGP - Egyptian Pound EUR - Euro IDR - Indonesian Rupiah INR - Indian Rupee JPY - Japanese Yen KRW - South Korean Won KZY - Kazakhstani Tenge MXN - Mexican Peso MYR - Malaysian Ringgit NOK - Norwegian Krone NZD - New Zealand Dollar PEN - Peruvian Nuevo Sol PLN - Polish Zloty RON - Romanian Leu-New RUB - Russian Ruble SEK - Swedish Krona SGD - Singapore Dollar TWD - Taiwanese Dollar VND - Vietnamese Dong SELECTED PORTFOLIO BHAC - Berkshire Hathaway Assurance Corp.
