|(a)                   | FPL Group, Inc. has no preference equity securities outstanding; therefore, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges is the same as the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends.
|(b)                   | A portion of Florida Power & Light Company's preferred stock was owned by FPL Group, Inc. and was eliminated in consolidation.  Accordingly, those dividends are not included herein.
