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 Company (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 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, 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.

  • 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
    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 value of the reported fair value of these
    contracts. In addition, FPL's use of such
    instruments could be subject to prudency
    challenges by the FPSC and if found imprudent,
    cost disallowance.
  • 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, 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.
  • 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.

4
  • 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 U.S., 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
    associated with these additional issues could
    impair FPL Group's and FPL's businesses in the
    future.
