|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) (collectively, the Company) are hereby filing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause the Company'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 the Company in this combined Form 10-Q, in presentations, 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, estimated, projection, 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 that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.
|Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes 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.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|Some important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include changes in laws or regulations, changing governmental policies and regulatory actions, including those of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC), the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, as amended (PURPA), the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, and the U. S.

The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for the year.

|Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -Effective January 1, 2001, FPL Group and FPL adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. (FAS) 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by FAS 137 and 138 (collectively, FAS 133). As a result, beginning in January 2001, derivative instruments are recorded on FPL Group's and FPL's balance sheets as either an asset or liability (in other current assets, other assets, other current liabilities and other liabilities) measured at fair value. FPL Group and FPL use derivative instruments (primarily swaps, options and futures) to manage the commodity price risk inherent in fuel purchases and electricity sales, as well as to optimize the value of power generation assets.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|At FPL, changes in fair value are deferred as a regulatory asset or liability until the contracts are settled. Upon settlement, any gains or losses will be passed through the fuel and purchased power cost recovery clause (fuel clause) and the capacity cost recovery clause (capacity clause).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|For FPL Group's unregulated operations, predominantly FPL Energy, LLC (FPL Energy), changes in the derivatives' fair value are recognized currently in earnings (in other-net) unless hedge accounting is applied. While substantially all of FPL Energy's derivative transactions are entered into for the purposes described above, hedge accounting is only applied where specific criteria are met and it is practicable to do so. In order to apply hedge accounting, the transaction must be designated as a hedge and it must be highly effective. The hedging instrument's effectiveness is assessed utilizing regression analysis at the inception of the hedge and on at least a quarterly basis throughout its life. Hedges are considered highly effective when a correlation coefficient of .8 or higher is achieved. Substantially all of the transactions that FPL Group has designated as hedges are cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the period(s) during which the transaction being hedged affects earnings. The ineffective portion of these hedges flows through earnings in the current period. Settlement gains and losses are included within the line items in the statements of income to which they relate.
|In January 2001, FPL Group recorded in other-net a $2 million loss as the cumulative effect on FPL Group's earnings of a change in accounting principle representing the effect of those derivative instruments for which hedge accounting was not applied. For those contracts where hedge accounting was applied, the adoption of the new rules resulted in a credit of approximately $10 million to other comprehensive income for FPL Group.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|Included in FPL Group's accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2001 is approximately $9 million of net unrealized losses associated with cash flow hedges of forecasted fuel purchases through December 2005. Within other comprehensive loss, approximately $14 million and $21 million represent the effective portion of the net loss on cash flow hedges (excluding the cumulative effect adjustment) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. See Note 3 - Other.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) reached conclusions, which became effective July 1, 2001, on several derivative accounting issues related to the power generation industry. There was no significant impact on FPL Group's and FPL's financial statements from these conclusions. In October 2001, the FASB revised its June 2001 conclusions and changed the effective date to January 1, 2002. Management is in the process of evaluating the revised conclusions reached by the FASB and is unable to estimate the effects, if any, on FPL Group's and FPL's financial statements. One possible result of the FASB's revised conclusions could be that certain power purchase and power sales contracts will have to be recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the income statements each reporting period.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - In July 2001, the FASB issued FAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which FPL Group will be required to adopt beginning in 2002. Under this statement, the amortization of goodwill will no longer be permitted. Instead, goodwill will be assessed for impairment at least annually by applying a fair-value based test, with the initial impairment test completed by June 30, 2002. At September 30, 2001, FPL Group had approximately $370 million of goodwill recorded in other assets. However, FAS 142 requires that identifiable intangible assets be separately recognized under certain circumstances, which could result in the reclassification of intangible assets into or out of goodwill upon adoption. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of implementing FAS 142 and is unable to estimate the effect, if any, on FPL Group's financial statements.

|Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations - In August 2001, the FASB issued FAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." The statement requires that the fair value of an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred and the associated asset retirement costs capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The asset retirement cost is subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method over its useful life. FPL and FPL Energy currently accrue for asset retirement obligations over the life of the related asset through depreciation and other operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses, respectively. At FPL, the net effect of recording the full fair value of asset retirement obligations and the associated increase in assets pursuant to FAS 143 will, in accordance with regulatory treatment, be recorded as a regulatory asset. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of implementing FAS 143 and is unable to estimate the effect, if any, on FPL Group's and FPL's financial statements. FPL Group and FPL will be required to adopt FAS 143 beginning in 2003.

|In May 2001, the FPSC ordered FPL to submit minimum filing requirements (MFRs) to initiate a base rate proceeding regarding FPL's future retail rates. FPL completed the filing of MFRs with the FPSC on October 15, 2001 and hearings are scheduled for April 2002. Any change in base rates would become effective after the expiration of the current rate agreement on April 14, 2002.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|FPL as well as other investor-owned utilities in Florida had requested that the FPSC open a separate generic docket to address issues related to the utilities' participation in an independent regional transmission organization (RTO), pursuant to the FERC's Order 2000. In June 2001, the FPSC decided to address on an expedited basis the RTO matters in conjunction with the base rate proceeding instead of in a generic docket. On November 7, 2001, the FPSC voted that the utilities' participation and formation of GridFlorida LLC (GridFlorida), in compliance with FERC's Order 2000, was prudent to date. However, the companies are to file a modified GridFlorida proposal within 90 days. The FPSC has stated that the proposal should not require the divestiture of transmission assets initially, but does not preclude GridFlorida from building or owning transmission assets in the future. In addition, the FPSC urged the utilities to continue participation in discussions with the FERC regarding the creation of a Southeast RTO, but did not recommend them joining it now.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|In mid-July 2001, the FERC initiated a mediation process directed towards forming a single RTO for the Southeast region of the United States. On November 7, 2001, the FERC issued an order providing guidance on how the commission will proceed with the RTO development. The issues of scope and governance will be addressed within individual RTO dockets, after consultation with the states. The issues of standardization of tariffs and market design will be addressed in a separate rulemaking docket. With regard to the operational deadline of the RTOs initially set for December 15, 2001, the FERC, in consultation with the states, will set revised timelines in each of the individual RTO dockets.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|On September 28, 2001, FPL filed a petition with the FPSC to increase its annual storm fund accrual by $30 million to $50.3 million commencing January 1, 2002. FPL also requested approval to establish a corresponding storm fund reserve objective of $500 million to be achieved over five years. At September 30, 2001, the storm fund reserve totaled approximately $256 million. On November 7, 2001, the FPSC staff recommended to the FPSC that the storm fund docket be closed and incorporated in the base rate proceeding. The FPSC is scheduled to vote on the staff recommendation on November 19, 2001.

|Insurance - Liability for accidents at nuclear power plants is governed by the Price-Anderson Act, which limits the liability of nuclear reactor owners to the amount of the insurance available from private sources and under an industry retrospective payment plan. In accordance with this Act, FPL maintains $200 million of private liability insurance, which is the maximum obtainable, and participates in a secondary financial protection system under which it is subject to retrospective assessments of up to $363 million per incident at any nuclear utility reactor in the United States, payable at a rate not to exceed $43 million per incident per year.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|FPL participates in nuclear insurance mutual companies that provide $2.75 billion of limited insurance coverage for property damage, decontamination and premature decommissioning risks at its nuclear plants. The proceeds from such insurance, however, must first be used for reactor stabilization and site decontamination before they can be used for plant repair. FPL also participates in an insurance program that provides limited coverage for replacement power costs if a nuclear plant is out of service because of an accident. In the event of an accident at one of FPL's or another participating insured's nuclear plants, FPL could be assessed up to $36 million in retrospective premiums.

Uninsured losses, to the extent not recovered through rates, would be borne by FPL and could have a material adverse effect on FPL Group's and FPL's financial condition.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|FPL self-insures the majority of its transmission and distribution (T&D) property due to the high cost and limited coverage available from third-party insurers. As approved by the FPSC, FPL maintains a funded storm and property insurance reserve, which totaled approximately $256 million at September 30, 2001, for uninsured property storm damage or assessments under the nuclear insurance program. Recovery from customers of any losses in excess of the storm and property insurance reserve will require the approval of the FPSC. FPL's available lines of credit provide additional liquidity in the event of a T&D property loss.

|FPL has entered into long-term purchased power and fuel contracts. Take-or-pay purchased power contracts with the Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) and with subsidiaries of The Southern Company (Southern Companies) provide approximately 1,300 megawatts (mw) of power through mid-2010 and 388 mw thereafter through 2021. FPL also has various firm pay-for-performance contracts to purchase approximately 900 mw from certain cogenerators and small power producers (qualifying facilities) with expiration dates ranging from 2002 through 2026. The purchased power contracts provide for capacity and energy payments. Energy payments are based on the actual power taken under these contracts and the Southern Companies' contract is subject to minimum quantities. Capacity payments for the pay-for-performance contracts are subject to the qualifying facilities meeting certain contract conditions. In 2001, FPL entered into agreements with several electricity suppliers to purchase an aggregate of up to approximately 1,300 mw of power with expiration dates ranging from 2003 through 2007. In general, the agreements require FPL to make capacity payments and supply the fuel consumed by the plants under the contracts. FPL has long-term contracts for the transportation and supply of natural gas, coal and oil with various expiration dates through 2022. FPL Energy has long-term contracts for the transportation and storage of natural gas with expiration dates ranging from 2005 through 2017, and a contract for the supply of natural gas that expires in mid-2002.
|The required capacity and minimum payments under these contracts for the remainder of 2001 (October - December) and for 2002 through 2005 are estimated to be as follows:

|Litigation - In 1999, the Attorney General of the United States, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), brought an action against Georgia Power Company and other subsidiaries of The Southern Company for certain alleged violations of the Clean Air Act. In May 2001, the EPA amended its complaint. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that Georgia Power Company constructed and is continuing to operate Scherer Unit No. 4, in which FPL owns a 76% interest, without obtaining proper permitting, and without complying with performance and technology standards as required by the Clean Air Act. It also alleges that unspecified major modifications have been made at Scherer Unit No. 4 that require its compliance with the aforementioned Clean Air Act provisions. The EPA seeks injunctive relief requiring the installation of best available control technology and civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day for each violation from an unspecified date after June 1, 1975 through January 30, 1997, and $27,500 per day for each violation thereafter. Georgia Power Company has answered the amended complaint, asserting that it has complied with all requirements of the Clean Air Act, denying the plaintiff's allegations of liability, denying that the plaintiff is entitled to any of the relief that it seeks and raising various other defenses. In June 2001, a federal district court stayed discovery and administratively closed the case pending resolution of the EPA's motion for consolidation of discovery in several Clean Air Act cases that was filed with a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) panel. In August 2001, the MDL panel denied the motion for consolidation. In September 2001, the EPA moved that the court reopen this case for purposes of discovery. Georgia Power Company has opposed that motion asking that the case remain closed until the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals rules on the Tennessee Valley Authority's appeal of an EPA administrative order relating to legal issues that are also central to this case. The court has not yet ruled upon the EPA's motion to reopen.

|In 2000, Southern California Edison Company (SCE) filed with the FERC a Petition for Declaratory Order (petition) asking the FERC to apply a November 1999 federal circuit court of appeals' decision to all qualifying small power production facilities, including two solar facilities operated by partnerships indirectly owned in part by FPL Energy (the partnerships) which have power purchase agreements with SCE. The federal circuit court of appeals' decision invalidated the FERC's so-called essential fixed assets standard, which permitted uses of fossil fuels by qualifying small power production facilities beyond those expressly set forth in PURPA. The petition requests that the FERC declare that qualifying small power production facilities may not continue to use fossil fuel under the essential fixed assets standard and that they may be required to make refunds with respect to past usage. In August 2000, the partnerships filed motions to intervene and protest before the FERC, vigorously objecting to the position taken by SCE in its petition. The partnerships contend that they have always operated the solar facilities in accordance with certification orders issued to them by the FERC. Such orders were neither challenged nor appealed at the time they were granted, and it is the position of the partnerships that the orders remain fully in effect. Briefing in this proceeding is complete and the parties are currently awaiting a final determination from the FERC. In June 2001, SCE and the partnerships entered into an agreement that provides, among other things, that SCE and the partnerships will take all necessary steps to suspend or stay, during a specified period of time, the proceeding initiated by the petition. The agreement is conditioned upon, among other things, completion of SCE's financing plan. The agreement provides that, if the conditions of the agreement are satisfied, then SCE and each of the partnerships agree to release and discharge each other from any and all claims of any kind arising from either parties' performance under the power purchase agreements. Such a release would include release of the claim made by SCE in the petition for refunds with respect to past usage. For additional information regarding the agreement, see Management's Discussion - Results of Operations - FPL Energy.

|FPL Group's net income increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 primarily as a result of increased earnings at both FPL and FPL Energy. The adoption of FAS 133, which became effective January 1, 2001, had minimal effect on the quarter but contributed $4 million to FPL Group's and FPL Energy's earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. For additional information regarding FAS 133, see Note 1 - Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FPL Group's earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 also included approximately $19 million after-tax of merger-related expenses, of which $16 million relate to FPL and $3 million relate to the Corporate and Other segment. The discussion of results of operations below excludes the effects of FAS 133 and merger-related expenses.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|FPL - FPL's net income for the three months ended September 30, 2001 improved mainly as a result of customer growth, lower O&M expenses and lower nonclause-related taxes. Revenues from retail base operations were $1.020 billion for the third quarter of 2001 compared to $1.018 billion for the same period last year. This reflects an increase in the average number of customer accounts of 2.3% partly offset by a decrease in usage per retail customer of 2.5% due to milder weather, the economic impact from the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and price elasticity related to the pass through of higher fuel costs. During the third quarter of 2001, FPL accrued approximately $28 million associated with refunds to retail customers under the rate reduction agreement, compared with $22 million in the same quarter last year. Taxes other than income taxes, excluding those amounts recovered through various clauses at FPL, declined primarily due to a reduction in estimated property taxes for 2001. O&M expenses declined in the third quarter primarily due to timing of expenditures.     
|Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 improved mainly due to higher energy sales and lower depreciation expense, partially offset by higher O&M expenses and higher interest charges. Revenues from retail base operations were $2.684 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $2.650 billion for the same period last year. This reflects an increase in the average number of customer accounts of 2.3% partly offset by a higher provision for revenue refund under the rate reduction agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, FPL accrued approximately $106 million relating to refunds to retail customers, compared to $59 million in 2000. Depreciation expense declined during the nine-month period reflecting lower special depreciation under the rate reduction agreement. FPL's O&M expenses increased primarily due to additional fossil plant outage costs, partly due to timing, and higher employee-related costs. Interest expense increased due to higher debt balances required to fund FPL's capital expansion and under-recovered fuel costs.
|FPL's operating revenues, fuel, purchased power and interchange expense and taxes other than income taxes increased for both the three-month and nine-month periods. This is primarily the result of an increase in FPL's fuel charge to retail customers in mid-2000 and in 2001 in response to higher fuel costs. These costs are substantially a pass-through at FPL and do not significantly affect net income.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|In May 2001, the FPSC ordered FPL to submit MFRs to initiate a base rate proceeding regarding FPL's future retail rates. FPL completed the filing of MFRs with the FPSC on October 15, 2001 and hearings are scheduled for April 2002. Any change in base rates would become effective after the expiration of the current rate agreement on April 14, 2002.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|FPL as well as other investor-owned utilities in Florida had requested that the FPSC open a separate generic docket to address issues related to the utilities' participation in an independent RTO, pursuant to the FERC's Order 2000. In June 2001, the FPSC decided to address on an expedited basis the RTO matters in conjunction with the base rate proceeding instead of in a generic docket. On November 7, 2001, the FPSC voted that the utilities' participation and formation of GridFlorida, in compliance with FERC's Order 2000, was prudent to date. However, the companies are to file a modified GridFlorida proposal within 90 days. The FPSC has stated that the proposal should not require the divestiture of transmission assets initially, but does not preclude GridFlorida from building or owning transmission assets in the future. In addition, the FPSC urged the utilities to continue participation in discussions with the FERC regarding the creation of a Southeast RTO, but did not recommend them joining it now.                                                                              
|In mid-July 2001, the FERC initiated a mediation process directed towards forming a single RTO for the Southeast region of the United States. On November 7, 2001, the FERC issued an order providing guidance on how the commission will proceed with the RTO development. The issues of scope and governance will be addressed within individual RTO dockets, after consultation with the states. The issues of standardization of tariffs and market design will be addressed in a separate rulemaking docket. With regard to the operational deadline of the RTOs initially set for December 15, 2001, the FERC, in consultation with the states, will set revised timelines in each of the individual RTO dockets.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|In January 2001, the Energy 2020 Study Commission issued a proposal for restructuring Florida's wholesale electricity market anticipating that the proposal would be considered in the 2001 legislative session. In May 2001, the Florida legislative session ended with no action taken on the commission's proposal. The commission has completed the information-gathering phase in the development of its recommendation addressing retail competition, which is due by December 1, 2001. Both wholesale and retail competition issues may then be addressed in the 2002 legislative session.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|On September 28, 2001, FPL filed a petition with the FPSC to increase its annual storm fund accrual by $30 million to $50.3 million commencing January 1, 2002. FPL also requested approval to establish a corresponding storm fund reserve objective of $500 million to be achieved over five years. At September 30, 2001, the storm fund reserve totaled approximately $256 million. On November 7, 2001, the FPSC staff recommended to the FPSC that the storm fund docket be closed and incorporated in the base rate proceeding. The FPSC is scheduled to vote on the staff recommendation on November 19, 2001.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|Although not directly impacted by the events of September 11, 2001, FPL has experienced some effect on its results of operations. Florida's economy, as well as its utility industry, is dependent to a certain extent on the tourism industry in the state. Since September 11, 2001, FPL has seen a decline in load demand partly due to the decline in the number of tourists in Florida. At this time, it is unclear what the lasting effects will be.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|FPL Energy - FPL Energy's net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 benefited from a growing power generation portfolio, higher operating margins in the Northeast region and the sale of a wastewood facility in Maine. These benefits were somewhat offset by higher interest and administrative expenses. FPL Energy continues to expand its generation portfolio. Since December 31, 2000, FPL Energy has added 856 mw and is currently constructing nine projects that are expected to add more than 5,000 mw by the end of 2003.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|FPL Energy has a net ownership interest in approximately 540 mw in California, most of which are wind, solar and geothermal qualifying facilities. The output of these projects is sold predominantly under long-term contracts with California utilities. Increases in natural gas prices and an imbalance between power supply and demand, as well as other factors, contributed to significant increases in wholesale electricity prices in California during 2000 and early 2001. Utilities in California had previously agreed to fixed tariffs to their retail customers, which resulted in significant under-recoveries of wholesale electricity purchase costs. FPL Energy's projects have not received the majority of payments due from California utilities for electricity sold from November 2000 through March 2001.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|In April 2001, Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. In July 2001, an agreement was reached between PG&E and FPL Energy regarding most of the qualifying facility contracts between the companies. The agreement requires a fixed payment structure over the next five years as well as payment of all outstanding receivables subject to approval of PG&E's reorganization plan by the bankruptcy court and PG&E's creditors. In September 2001, PG&E submitted a reorganization plan to the bankruptcy court which calls for the sale of certain PG&E assets to an unregulated PG&E subsidiary with the proceeds from the sale used to pay off PG&E's debts. PG&E's unregulated subsidiary will need to obtain financing to purchase the assets. The reorganization plan has been approved by the creditors, but must also be approved by the bankruptcy court. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and California's Division of Water Resources oppose the reorganization plan.                                                                     
|In June 2001, an agreement was reached between SCE and FPL Energy regarding the qualifying facility contracts with SCE. The agreement with SCE also requires a fixed payment structure over the next five years as well as payment of all outstanding receivables but is conditioned upon, among other things, completion of SCE's financing plan. In October 2001, SCE and the CPUC reached an agreement intended to restore SCE's credit worthiness by allowing recovery of past due amounts from SCE's customers. On October 31, 2001, a federal appeals court temporarily blocked the settlement agreement between SCE and the CPUC to allow a consumer advocacy group two weeks to argue why the court should not approve the settlement agreement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|No assurance can be given that the conditions to the agreements FPL Energy has with PG&E and SCE will be satisfied. FPL Group's earnings exposure relating to past due receivables from these California utilities at September 30, 2001 was approximately $14 million. At September 30, 2001, FPL Energy's net investment in California projects was approximately $290 million. It is not possible at this time to predict what the outcome of the situation in California will be or its effect, if any, on FPL Group's financial statements.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
|New Accounting Rules -In June 2001, the FASB reached conclusions, which became effective July 1, 2001, on several derivative accounting issues related to the power generation industry. There was no significant impact on FPL Group's and FPL's financial statements from these conclusions. In October 2001, the FASB revised its June 2001 conclusions and changed the effective date to January 1, 2002. Management is in the process of evaluating the revised conclusions reached by the FASB and is unable to estimate the effects, if any, on FPL Group's and FPL's financial statements. One possible result of the FASB's revised conclusions could be that certain power purchase and power sales contracts will have to be recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the income statements each reporting period.
