Templeton Dragon Fund
Notes to Statement of Investments (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Templeton Dragon Fund, Inc. (Fund) is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end investment company.
2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT VALUATION
The Fund values its 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 Fund's Board of Directors, the Fund may utilize
independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial
instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.
Equity and other 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. Foreign equity securities are valued as
of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is
primarily traded, or the NYSE, whichever is earlier. 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. Certain equity securities may be valued
utilizing a market-based approached in which the fundamental characteristics or
relationships to similar securities are used to determine the fair value of the
security held.
The Fund has 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 Fund primarily employs 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 Fund 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.
Trading in securities on foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets may be
completed before the daily close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events
occur between the time at which trading in a foreign security is completed and
the close of the NYSE that might call into question the availability (including
the reliability) of the value of a foreign security held by the Fund. As a
result, variances may arise between the value of the Fund's portfolio securities
as determined at the foreign market close and the latest indications of value at
the close of the NYSE. In order to minimize the potential for these
discrepancies, the investment manager monitors price movements following the
close of trading in foreign stock markets through a series of country specific
market proxies (such as baskets of American Depository Receipts, futures
contracts and exchange traded funds). These price movements are measured against
established trigger thresholds for each specific market proxy to assist in
determining if an event has occurred that may call into question the reliability
of the values of the foreign securities 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.
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value.
3. INCOME TAXES
At March 31, 2010, the cost of investments and net unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of investments $510,093,044
============
Unrealized appreciation $601,460,880
Unrealized depreciation (15,765,917)
------------
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $585,694,963
============
|
4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Fund follows 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.
For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Fund has
adopted a policy of recognizing the transfers as of the date of the underlying
event which caused the movement.
At March 31, 2010, all of the Fund's investments in securities carried at fair
value were in Level 1 inputs. For detailed industry descriptions, see the
accompanying Statement of Investments.
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the financial
statements and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure.

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

executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow

supervision and with the participation of the Registrant's management, including
the Registrant's principal executive officer and the Registrant's principal

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
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.
