Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Information as of February 18, 2005.
(2)	Phantom Shares previously credited to a Supplemental Matching Contribution Account for the reporting person pursuant to the FPL Group, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. Phantom Shares represent the number of phantom shares of FPL Group, Inc. Common Stock credited to the reporting person if the phantom shares had been invested in FPL Group's company stock fund in its Thrift Plan to date. Includes cash dividends that would be payable on the Phantom Shares if the reporting person was the record holder of the number of shares of FPL Group, Inc. Common Stock equal to the Phantom Shares. Shares of phantom stock are payable in cash following the reporting person's termination of employment with FPL Group, Inc. This filing is not an admission that the Phantom Shares are derivative securities.
(3)	Phantom Stock Units approximate the number of phantom shares of FPL Group, Inc. Common Stock attributable to phantom units credited to the reporting person's account under the FPL Group, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Compensation deferred under the Plan is deemed to be invested in a number of unfunded theoretical units equal to the number of units which would have been credited if the deferred compensation had been invested in FPL Group's company stock fund in its Thrift Plan (the Stock Fund). The Stock Fund is accounted for in units of a unitized pool of stock and cash, with the value of each unit determined by reference to the closing price of FPL Group, Inc. Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on any given date.
(4)	(Footnote No. 3 continued) Phantom Stock Units reported above are estimated based on the number of shares of FPL Group, Inc. Common Stock in the Stock Fund represented by each unit of the Stock Fund on a given date, multiplied by the number of theoretical units credited to the reporting person upon a deferral or held at the end of the period. Accounts are payable only in cash at the reporting person's termination of employment with FPL Group, Inc. This filing is not an admission that Phantom Stock Units or the theoretical units of the Stock Fund are derivative securities.
(5)	Differences in holdings on any given date may result from varying percentages of cash and stock held in the Stock Fund on different dates.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, See Instruction 6 for procedure.
