Franklin Tax-Free Trust
Notes to Statements of Investments (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Franklin Tax-Free Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company, consisting of twenty-four funds (Funds).
2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT VALUATION
The Funds value their investments in securities and other assets and liabilities carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
Under procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, the Funds may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.
Municipal securities generally trade in the over-the-counter market rather than on a securities exchange. The Funds’ pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In other instances, the pricing services utilize proprietary valuation models to develop an income-based valuation which may consider characteristics such as credit risk and spreads, benchmark yield curves, coupon rates, maturity and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows which are then used to calculate the fair value.
The Funds have procedures to determine the fair value of investments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. Under these procedures, the Funds primarily employ a market-based approach, which may use prices of recent transactions, various market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment, related assets or liabilities or other comparable assets or liabilities to determine the fair value of the investment. In developing this fair value, the Funds may also give consideration to an income-based approach valuation, which considers anticipated future cash flows of the investment and converts those amounts into a net present value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Funds’ own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ 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 Funds’ 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.

 


For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Funds have adopted a policy of recognizing the transfers as of the date of the underlying event which caused the movement.
At May 31, 2010, all of the Funds’ investments in securities carried at fair value were in Level 2 inputs.
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the statements of investments and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure.
For information on the Funds’ policy regarding other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Funds’ most recent semiannual or annual shareholder report.

 

 

 

Item 2. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  The Registrant maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Registrant’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Such information is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Registrant’s management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.  There have been no significant changes in the Registrant’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation in connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Schedule of Portfolio Holdings on Form N-Q.
