Cautionary Statements And Risk Factors That May
Affect Future Results

• In connection with the safe harbor provisions of
  the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
  1995 (Reform Act), FPL Group, Inc. (FPL Group)
  and Florida Power Light (FPL) are hereby filing
  cautionary statements identifying important
  factors that could cause FPL Group's or FPL's
  actual results to differ materially from those
  projected in forward-looking statements (as such
  term is defined in the Reform Act) made by or on
  behalf of FPL Group and FPL in this presentation,
  in response to questions or otherwise.  Any
  statements that express, or involve discussions
  as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives,
  assumptions or future events or performance
  (often, but not always, through the use of words
  or phrases such as will likely result, are
  expected to, will continue, is anticipated,
  believe, could, estimated, may, plan, potential,
  projection, target, outlook) are not statements
  of historical facts and may be forward-looking.
  Forward-looking statements involve estimates,
  assumptions and uncertainties.  Accordingly, any
  such statements are qualified in their entirety
  by reference to, and are accompanied by, the
  following important factors (in addition to any
  assumptions and other factors referred to
  specifically in connection with such
  forward-looking statements) that could cause FPL
  Group's or FPL's actual results to differ
  materially from those contained in
  forward-looking statements made by or on behalf
  of FPL Group and FPL.
• Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of
  the date on which such statement is made, and FPL
  Group and FPL undertake no obligation to update
  any forward-looking statement to reflect events
  or circumstances after the date on which such
  statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of
  unanticipated events.  New factors emerge from
  time to time and it is not possible for
  management to predict all of such factors, nor
  can it assess the impact of each such factor on
  the business or the extent to which any factor,
  or combination of factors, may cause actual
  results to differ materially from those contained
  in any forward-looking statement.
• The following are some important factors that
  could have a significant impact on FPL Group's
  and FPL's operations and financial results, and
  could cause FPL Group's and FPL's actual results
  or outcomes to differ materially from those
  discussed in the forward-looking statements
• FPL Group and FPL are subject to changes in laws
  or regulations, including the Public Utility
  Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, as amended
  (PURPA), and the Public Utility Holding Company
  Act of 1935, as amended (Holding Company Act),
  changing governmental policies and regulatory
  actions, including those of the Federal Energy
  Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Florida Public
  Service Commission (FPSC) and the utility
  commissions of other states in which FPL Group
  has operations, and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
  Commission (NRC), with respect to, among other
  things, allowed rates of return, industry and
  rate structure, operation of nuclear power
  facilities, operation and construction of plant
  facilities, operation and construction of
  transmission facilities, acquisition, disposal,
  depreciation and amortization of assets and
  facilities, recovery of fuel and purchased power
  costs, decommissioning costs, return on common
  equity and equity ratio limits, and present or
  prospective wholesale and retail competition
  (including but not limited to retail wheeling and
  transmission costs).  The FPSC has the authority
  to disallow recovery by FPL of costs that it
  considers excessive or imprudently incurred.
• The regulatory process generally restricts FPL's
  ability to grow earnings and does not provide any
  assurance as to achievement of earnings levels.
• FPL Group and FPL are subject to extensive
  federal, state and local environmental statutes,
  rules and regulations relating to air quality,
  water quality, waste management, wildlife
  mortality, natural resources and health and
  safety that could, among other things, restrict
  or limit the output of certain facilities or the
  use of certain fuels required for the production
  of electricity and/or increase costs.  There are
  significant capital, operating and other costs
  associated with compliance with these
  environmental statutes, rules and regulations,
  and those costs could be even more significant in
  the future.

51

• FPL Group and FPL operate in a changing market
  environment influenced by various legislative and
  regulatory initiatives regarding deregulation,
  regulation or restructuring of the energy
  industry, including deregulation of the
  production and sale of electricity.  FPL Group
  and its subsidiaries will need to adapt to these
  changes and may face increasing competitive
  pressure.
• FPL Group's and FPL's results of operations could
  be affected by FPLs ability to renegotiate
  franchise agreements with municipalities and
  counties in Florida.
• The operation of power generation facilities
  involves many risks, including start up risks,
  breakdown or failure of equipment, transmission
  lines or pipelines, use of new technology, the
  dependence on a specific fuel source or the
  impact of unusual or adverse weather conditions
  (including natural disasters such as hurricanes),
  as well as the risk of performance below expected
  or contracted levels of output or
  efficiency.  This could result in lost revenues
  and/or increased expenses. Insurance, warranties
  or performance guarantees may not cover any or
  all of the lost revenues or increased expenses,
  including the cost of replacement power. In
  addition to these risks, FPL Group's and FPL's
  nuclear units face certain risks that are unique
  to the nuclear industry including the ability to
  dispose of spent nuclear fuel, as well as
  additional regulatory actions up to and including
  shutdown of the units stemming from public safety
  concerns, whether at FPL Group's and FPL's
  plants, or at the plants of other nuclear
  operators.  Breakdown or failure of an FPL
  Energy, LLC (FPL Energy) operating facility may
  prevent the facility from performing under
  applicable power sales agreements which, in
  certain situations, could result in termination
  of the agreement or incurring a liability for
  liquidated damages.
• FPL Group's and FPL's ability to successfully and
  timely complete their power generation facilities
  currently under construction, those projects yet
  to begin construction or capital improvements to
  existing facilities is contingent upon many
  variables and subject to substantial
  risks.  Should any such efforts be unsuccessful,
  FPL Group and FPL could be subject to additional
  costs, termination payments under committed
  contracts, and/or the write-off of their
  investment in the project or improvement.
• FPL Group and FPL use derivative instruments,
  such as swaps, options, futures and forwards to
  manage their commodity and financial market
  risks, and to a lesser extent, engage in limited
  trading activities.  FPL Group could recognize
  financial losses as a result of volatility in the
  market values of these contracts, or if a
  counterparty fails to perform.  In the absence of
  actively quoted market prices and pricing
  information from external sources, the valuation
  of these derivative instruments involves
  management's judgment or use of estimates. As a
  result, changes in the underlying assumptions or
  use of alternative valuation methods could affect
  the reported fair value of these contracts.  In
  addition, FPL's use of such instruments could be
  subject to prudency challenges and if found
  imprudent, cost recovery could be disallowed by
  the FPSC.
• There are other risks associated with FPL Group's
  non-rate regulated businesses, particularly FPL
  Energy.  In addition to risks discussed
  elsewhere, risk factors specifically affecting
  FPL Energy's success in competitive wholesale
  markets include the ability to efficiently
  develop and operate generating assets, the
  successful and timely completion of project
  restructuring activities, maintenance of the
  qualifying facility status of certain projects,
  the price and supply of fuel, transmission
  constraints, competition from new sources of
  generation, excess generation capacity and demand
  for power. There can be significant volatility in
  market prices for fuel and electricity, and there
  are other financial, counterparty and market
  risks that are beyond the control of FPL
  Energy.  FPL Energy's inability or failure to
  effectively hedge its assets or positions against
  changes in commodity prices, interest rates,
  counterparty credit risk or other risk measures
  could significantly impair its future financial
  results. In keeping with industry trends, a
  portion of FPL Energy's power generation
  facilities operate wholly or partially without
  long-term power purchase agreements.  As a
  result, power from these facilities is sold on
  the spot market or on a short-term contractual
  basis, which may affect the volatility of FPL
  Group's financial results.   In addition, FPL
  Energy's business depends upon transmission
  facilities owned and operated by others if
  transmission is disrupted or capacity is
  inadequate or unavailable, FPL Energy's ability
  to sell and deliver its wholesale power may be
  limited.

52

• FPL Group is likely to encounter significant
  competition for acquisition opportunities that
  may become available as a result of the
  consolidation of the power industry.  In
  addition, FPL Group may be unable to identify
  attractive acquisition opportunities at favorable
  prices and to successfully and timely complete
  and integrate them.
• FPL Group and FPL rely on access to capital
  markets as a significant source of liquidity for
  capital requirements not satisfied by operating
  cash flows.  The inability of FPL Group and FPL
  to maintain their current credit ratings could
  affect their ability to raise capital on
  favorable terms, particularly during times of
  uncertainty in the capital markets which, in
  turn, could impact FPL Group's and FPL's ability
  to grow their businesses and would likely
  increase interest costs.
• FPL Group's and FPL's results of operations can
  be affected by changes in the weather.  Weather
  conditions directly influence the demand for
  electricity and natural gas and affect the price
  of energy commodities, and can affect the
  production of electricity at wind and
  hydro-powered facilities.  In addition, severe
  weather can be destructive, causing outages
  and/or property damage, which could require
  additional costs to be incurred.
• FPL Group and FPL are subject to costs and other
  effects of legal and administrative proceedings,
  settlements, investigations and claims, as well
  as the effect of new, or changes in, tax rates or
  policies, rates of inflation, accounting
  standards, securities laws or corporate
  governance requirements.
• FPL Group and FPL are subject to direct and
  indirect effects of terrorist threats and
  activities.  Generation and transmission
  facilities, in general, have been identified as
  potential targets.  The effects of terrorist
  threats and activities include, among other
  things, terrorist actions or responses to such
  actions or threats, the inability to generate,
  purchase or transmit power, the risk of a
  significant slowdown in growth or a decline in
  the U.S. economy, delay in economic recovery in
  the United States, and the increased cost and
  adequacy of security and insurance.
• FPL Group's and FPL's ability to obtain
  insurance, and the cost of and coverage provided
  by such insurance, could be affected by national
  events as well as company-specific events.
• FPL Group and FPL are subject to employee
  workforce factors, including loss or retirement
  of key executives, availability of qualified
  personnel, collective bargaining agreements with
  union employees or work stoppage.
• The issues and associated risks and
  uncertainties described above are not the only
  ones FPL Group and FPL may face. Additional
  issues may arise or become material as the energy
  industry evolves.  The risks and uncertainties
