Company: TransAlta Corporation
Filing Type: Form 6-K (Report of Foreign Private Issuer)
Date: March 11, 2010

Key Financial Metrics
The provided text contains only the cover page and exhibit index of the Form 6-K. It does not include the actual 2009 Annual Report content. Consequently, the filing text does not provide clear values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, liquidity, or other key financial metrics.
Material Changes
No material changes versus the prior comparable period can be identified as the source text lacks comparative financial data or operational updates.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing text does not contain management commentary, guidance, outlook, risks, contingencies, or unusual items. These details would be contained within the 2009 Annual Report referenced in Exhibit 99.1, which is not included in the input text.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full content of the 2009 Annual Report to Shareholders (Exhibit 99.1) to obtain actual financial performance data.
- Confirm the status of the Annual Report as "furnished" rather than "filed" for purposes of incorporation by reference.
- Review the company's Form 40-F for the most recent audited financial statements if the Annual Report is not immediately available.
