(2)
    Restricted stock grant made pursuant to the Amended and Restated Long Term Incentive Plan of the Issuer, exempt under Rule 16b-3.
(3)
    Acquired in settlement of performance share awards (which were not derivative securities) under Amended and Restated Long Term Incentive Plan of Issuer, exempt under Rule 16b-3.

    Receipt of 4,385 shares deferred until Mr. Rodriguez's retirement.

(6)
    Phantom shares credited to a Supplemental Matching Contribution Account for the reporting person pursuant to the FPL Group, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

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 during fiscal year 2002 based on share prices ranging from $46.30 to $64.91. Amount shown constitutes the difference between the balance at 12/31/02 and the balance at 12/31/01. 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. This filing is not an admission that the phantom shares are derivative securities.

(7)
