Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(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)	Phantom Stock Units approximate the number of phantom shares of the Issuer's common stock attributable to phantom units credited to the reporting person's account under the FPL Group, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). Amounts deferred under the Plan, including amounts attributable to reinvested dividends, are 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 amounts had been invested in the Issuer'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. Phantom Stock Units are estimated based on the number of shares of the Issuer's common stock in the Stock Fund and the number of theoretical units credited to the reporting person. Accounts are payable in cash at the end of the deferral period.
(2)	Closing price of Issuer's common stock on NYSE on the relevant date (price used to value units in the Stock Fund).
(3)	Differences in holdings between any given dates may result from varying percentages of cash and stock held in the Stock Fund on those dates.

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

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
