(a) Significant transactions reflected in the results above include: 2009 impairment of goodwill and other assets (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”), 2007 spinoff of the natural gas businesses (see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”), 2006 merger with Cinergy, 2006 Crescent joint venture transaction and subsequent deconsolidation effective Sept. 7, 2006, 2005 DENA disposition, 2005 deconsolidation of DCP Midstream effective July 1, 2005, and 2005 Duke Energy Field Services, LLC (DEFS) sale of Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC (TEPPCO).
(b) Periods prior to 2009 have been recast to reflect the adoption of the noncontrolling interest presentation provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 810 – Consolidation, which was adopted by Duke Energy effective Jan. 1, 2009.
(c) 2006 increase primarily attributable to issuance of approximately 313 million shares in connection with Duke Energy’s merger with Cinergy.
(d) 2007 decrease due to the spinoff of the natural gas businesses to shareholders on Jan. 2, 2007, as dividends subsequent to the spinoff were split proportionately between Duke Energy and Spectra Energy, such that the sum of the dividends of the two stand-alone companies approximated the former total dividend of Duke Energy prior to the spinoff.
