[1] | Fair values of certain derivatives under the FTP that were in net liability positions totaling $69 million and $100 million at September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, are recorded in TVA's margin cash accounts in Other current assets. These derivatives are transacted with futures commission merchants, and cash deposits have been posted to the margin cash accounts held with each futures commission merchant to offset the net liability positions in full.
