[1] | In accordance with certain credit terms, TVA uses leverage to trade financial instruments under the FTP. Therefore, the margin cash account balance does not represent 100 percent of the net market value of the derivative positions outstanding as shown in the Derivatives Under Financial Trading Program table.
[2] | The December 31, 2012, and September 30, 2012 balances in the Derivatives Under Financial Trading Program table show all open derivative positions in the FTP.
