The complaint alleges that defendants engaged in a variety of accounting
improprieties, including their admitted failure to charge off uncollectible
loans and to mark Franklin's loans to market. As a result of the misconduct
alleged, defendants understated the Company's delinquent, nonperforming, and
uncollectible loans and thereby misrepresented Franklin's financial condition
and results, including its overall and per-share profit of its residential
mortgage loan portfolio.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed on behalf of Franklin
shareholders. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no
later than August 5, 2008. If you wish to join the litigation or to discuss your
rights or interests regarding this class action, please contact plaintiff's
