FRANKLIN CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE TRUST

Notes to Statements of Investments (unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Franklin California Tax-Free Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company, consisting of three separate funds (Funds) and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT VALUATION

The Funds’ investments in financial instruments are 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. The Funds calculate the net asset value (NAV) per share as of 4 p.m. Eastern time each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading. Under compliance policies and procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Funds’ administrator has responsibility for oversight of valuation, including leading the cross-functional Valuation Committee (VC). The VC provides administration and oversight of the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures, which are approved annually by the Board. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

Debt 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 may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, anticipated market interest rate volatility, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value.

The Funds have procedures to determine the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not reliable or readily available. Under these procedures, the VC convenes on a regular basis to review such financial instruments and considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs, when arriving at fair value. The VC primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair 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 an active market existed. The VC employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, and reviews of any related market activity.

3. INCOME TAXES

At September 30, 2016, the cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:

        Franklin          
    Franklin   California       Franklin  
    California   Intermediate-Term       California  
    Insured Tax-Free   Tax-Free Ultra-Short Tax-Free  
    Income Fund   Income Fund     Income Fund  
 
Cost of investments $ 1,425,160,760 $ 1,766,026,501   $ 58,607,559  
 
Unrealized appreciation $ 229,019,689 $ 143,915,404     $  
Unrealized depreciation     (6,865,813 )     (29,680 )
 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $ 229,019,689 $ 137,049,591     $ (29,680 )

 

4. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Certain or all Funds invest a large percentage of their total assets in obligations of issuers within California and U.S. territories. Such concentration may subject the Funds to risks associated with industrial or regional matters, and economic, political or legal developments occurring within California and U.S. territories. Investing in Puerto Rico securities may expose the Funds to heightened risks due to recent adverse economic and market changes, credit downgrades and ongoing restructuring discussions. In addition, investments in these securities are sensitive to interest rate changes and credit risk of the issuer and may subject the Funds to increased market volatility. The market for these investments may be limited, which may make them difficult to buy or sell.

5. 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 financial instruments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.)
  • Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of financial instruments)

The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level.

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 September 30, 2016, all of the Funds’ investments in financial instruments carried at fair value were valued using Level 2 inputs.
