Templeton Emerging Markets Income Fund

NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION

Templeton Emerging Markets Income Fund (Fund) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-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 securites 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.

3. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Fund may invest in derivative financial instruments (derivatives) in order
to manage risk or gain exposure to various other investments or markets.
Derivatives are financial contracts based on an underlying or notional amount,
require no initial investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than
would normally be required to have a similar response to changes in market
factors,

NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

3. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

and require or permit net settlement. Derivatives may contain various risks
including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill their
obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid
secondary market, and the potential for market movements.

Derivatives are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers
or the Fund's independent pricing services and the Fund's net benefit or
obligation under the contract, as measured by the fair market value of the
contract, is included in net assets.

The Fund enters into foreign exchange contracts in order to manage foreign
exchange rate risk between the trade date and settlement date of securities
transactions. A foreign exchange contract is an agreement between the Fund and a
counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency for a specific exchange rate on a
future date.

The Fund enters into forward exchange contracts in order to hedge against
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to certain foreign
currencies. A forward exchange contract is an agreement between the Fund and a
counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency for a specific exchange rate on a
future date.

The Fund enters into interest rate swap contracts in order to manage interest
rate risk. An interest rate swap is an agreement between the Fund and a
counterparty to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest
rates, applied to a notional principal amount. Over the term of the contract,
contractually required payments to be paid and to be received are accrued daily
and recorded as unrealized depreciation and appreciation until the payments are
made, at which time they are realized. Pursuant to the terms of the interest
rate swap contract, cash or securities may be required to be deposited as
collateral.

4. INCOME TAXES

At May 31, 2009, the cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (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.

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 May 31, 2009, in valuing the
Fund's assets and liabilities carried at fair value:



                                          LEVEL 1        LEVEL 2     LEVEL 3       TOTAL

NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2009, FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair
Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly" (FSP
FAS 157-4), which provides additional guidance when the volume and level of
activity for the asset or liability measured at fair value have significantly
decreased. Additionally, FSP FAS 157-4 amends SFAS 157, expanding disclosure
requirements by reporting entities surrounding the major categories of assets
and liabilities carried at fair value. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim
and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Fund believes applying FSP
FAS 157-4 will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2009, FASB issued Statement No. 165, "Subsequent Events", which is
intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of
events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the statements are
issued or are available to be issued. FASB 165 is effective for interim or
annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, the adoption of FASB 165
will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

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.

Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this Quarterly Schedule of Portfolio
Holdings on Form N-Q, the Registrant had carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of the Registrant's management, including

financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the
Registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer
concluded that the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.

(b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS. There have been no significant changes in the
