(Name of issuer of the securities held pursuant to the plan) 		 700 Universe Boulevard 		 Juno Beach, Florida 33408 	 (Address of principal executive office) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT EMPLOYEE BENEFITS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF FPL GROUP, INC.: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the FPL Group Employee Thrift Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1999 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1999 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

FPL GROUP EMPLOYEE THRIFT PLAN 		 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 		For the year ended December 31, 1999 1. Description of the Plan and Significant Accounting Policies The Plan The following description of the FPL Group Employee Thrift Plan (Plan) provides only general information. Participating employees (Members) should refer to the Summary Plan Description in their employee handbook for a more complete description of the Plan. Fidelity Management Trust Company (Trustee) administers the trust (Trust) established under the Plan and the Employee Thrift and Retirement Savings Plan for the Bargaining Unit Employees of Florida Power & Light Company (FPL Bargaining Plan). The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The Plan has been designated as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Participation in the Plan is voluntary. During 1999, the Plan was amended to include employees of FPL Energy Maine Operating Services, LLC. Employees (other than union employees) are eligible to participate in the Plan after one full month of service with FPL Group, Inc. (FPL Group or Company) or certain of its subsidiaries or on the first day of any payroll period thereafter. The Plan includes a cash or deferred compensation arrangement (Tax Saver Option) permitted by Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code). The Tax Saver Option permits a Member to elect to defer federal income taxes on all or a portion of their contributions (Tax Saver Contributions) until they are distributed from the Plan. Tax Saver Contributions were limited in 1999 to a maximum of $10,000 per Member and may be increased or decreased in future years for cost-of-living adjustments. The Plan also includes leveraged employee stock ownership plan (Leveraged ESOP) provisions. The Leveraged ESOP is a stock bonus plan within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.401-1(b)(1)(iii) that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and is designed to invest primarily in common stock of FPL Group, Inc. (Common Stock). The Trust purchased Common Stock from FPL Group using the proceeds of a loan (Acquisition Indebtedness) from FPL Group Capital Inc (FPL Group Capital), a subsidiary of FPL Group (see Note 3). The Common Stock acquired by the Trust is initially held in a separate account (ESOP Account). As the Acquisition Indebtedness (including interest) is repaid, each Member's account is allocated its portion of Common Stock released from the ESOP Account. The Company has in place a Flexible Dividend Program which enables participants to choose how their dividends on certain shares of Common Stock held in the Plan are to be paid. Dividends on Common Stock acquired through the Leveraged ESOP do not qualify under this program. The options available to participants include reinvestment of dividends in Company Stock; distribution of dividends in cash; distribution of dividends in cash and contribution of an equivalent amount of their compensation to their thrift plan account; or a partial distribution with the balance reinvested in Common Stock. Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts. Contributions, Loans, Withdrawals and Transfers to (from) the Plan The Plan provides for basic contributions by eligible employees in whole percentages from 1% to 7% of their base compensation (Earnings), which is matched in part by the Company with shares of Common Stock. For basic Tax Saver or After-Tax Contributions, the Company match is 100% on the first 3% of a Member's Earnings, 50% on the next 3% and 25% on the last 1%. The Plan also provides for supplemental contributions by Members to be made in whole percentages from 1% to 9% of their Earnings, bringing the total maximum contributions to 16%. Supplemental contributions are not matched by the Company. Contributions are subject to certain limitations. The value of a Member's contributions (including all income, gains and losses) is at all times 100% vested. Company contributions vest at a rate of 20% each year and are fully vested upon a Member attaining five years of service as a Member of the Plan. An employee may also receive vesting credit for prior years of service as a member of the FPL Bargaining Plan. For employees of FPL Energy Maine, company matching contributions are fully vested upon attaining six months of service as a member of the Plan. The Plan's investment options include fourteen core funds, as well as a wide variety of mutual funds. The core funds are comprised of eleven "mix your own" investment options and three "pre-mixed" investment strategies. The "mix your own" investment options include various mutual funds, a separately managed portfolio of short- and long-term investment contracts and Common Stock. The "pre-mixed" investment strategy options are made up of different allocations of the "mix your own" investment options providing various combinations of stocks and fixed income investments. Effective March 1, 2000, a new core investment option became available to participants of the Plan. The Plan allows Members, at any time, to change their contribution percentage, to change their investment option allocation for future contributions or to transfer their account balance attributable to Member contributions from one investment option to another. At year end, the number of Members contributing to the Plan was 7,913. Company contributions are primarily made from Common Stock shares released from the ESOP Account. Forfeitures of non-vested Company contributions due to termination of Plan participation are used to reduce the amount of future Company contributions to the Plan or may be applied to administrative expenses. A Member who has attained at least the age of fifty and completed five years of service while a Member will be permitted to transfer all or any portion of Company contributions made to his or her account and any earnings thereon to one or more of the other investment options. Any future Company contributions will continue to be invested in Common Stock. A Member may borrow from his or her account a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50% of the vested value of the member's account, whichever is less. The vested portion of a member's account will be pledged as security for the loan. The rate of interest is determined quarterly taking into account prime rate. The interest rate for member loans outstanding at December 31, 1999 ranged from 7.25% to 9.75%. Withdrawals by Members from certain of their accounts during their employment are permitted with certain penalties and restrictions. The penalties limit a Member's contributions to the Plan for varying periods following a withdrawal. Transfers to (from) the Plan generally represent net transfers between the Plan and the FPL Bargaining Plan. The transfers arise as a result of members transferring between bargaining unit and non-bargaining unit status while employed by Florida Power & Light Company (FPL). Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Investment income and interest income on loans to Members is recognized when earned. Contributions by Members and Company contributions are accrued on the basis of amounts withheld through payroll deductions. Distributions to Members are recorded when paid. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, except insurance and financial institution investment contracts which are stated at contract value (see Investment Contracts below). Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. The FPL Group Common Stock is valued at its quoted market price. Loans to participants are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded on the trade date. Gains or losses on sales of investment securities are determined using the carrying amount of the securities. The carrying amounts of securities held in Member accounts are adjusted daily; securities held in the ESOP Account (see Note 2) are adjusted annually. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded to recognize changes in market value. Investment Contracts The Plan has entered into investment contracts with various insurance companies and financial institutions. The contracts are fully benefit responsive and are included in the financial statements at contract value (which represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less withdrawals and administrative expenses). There are no reserves against contract values for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. At December 31, 1999, the contract value and fair value of investment contracts was $205,296,000 and $201,431,000, respectively. At December 31, 1998 the contract value and fair value of investment contracts was $200,061,000 and $196,772,000, respectively. The average yield for the portfolio of investment contracts was 6.29% and 6.58% for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The crediting interest rate at December 31, 1999 and 1998 was 5.59% and 5.61%, respectively. The crediting interest rate is based on an agreed-upon formula with the issuer, but cannot be less than zero. See Note 8. 2. Employee Stock Ownership Plan Account Allocation The assets, liabilities and net income of the ESOP Account are not considered plan assets but are for the joint benefit of the Plan and the FPL Bargaining Plan. The ESOP Account is allocated for financial reporting purposes based on each plan's relative net assets. The Plan's allocation of Common Stock held in the ESOP Account (employer securities), Acquisition Indebtedness and interest payable have been reflected in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits, but are not available for, or the obligation of, Plan Members. The employer securities will be released from the ESOP Account and distributed to Members' accounts in satisfaction of part or all of the Company's matching contribution obligation under the Plan as the Acquisition Indebtedness is repaid (see Note 3). ESOP shares allocated to date are classified as employer securities held by the Plan on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. The Acquisition Indebtedness will be repaid from dividends on the shares acquired by the ESOP Account, as well as from cash contributions from FPL Group. The net effect of a change in the allocation percentage from year to year is reported as a transfer to or from the Plan. The value of the shares distributed to Member accounts is not affected by these allocations. Condensed financial statements of the ESOP Account are presented below, indicating the allocations made to each plan. The effect of current year Leveraged ESOP activity on net assets is included in transfers to (from) the plan in the financial statements of each plan. Distributions of shares to the plans are presented as noncash contributions in the financial statements of each plan.

Acquisition Indebtedness In December 1990, the Trust, which holds plan assets for both the Plan and the FPL Bargaining Plan, borrowed $360 million from FPL Group Capital to purchase approximately 12.4 million shares of Common Stock. The Acquisition Indebtedness matures in 2019, bears interest at a fixed rate of 9.69% per year and is to be repaid using dividends received on both Common Stock held by the ESOP Account and ESOP shares distributed to Member accounts, along with cash contributions from FPL Group. For those dividends on shares allocated to Member accounts used to repay the loan, additional shares, equal in value to those dividends, will be allocated to Member accounts. In 1999, dividends received from shares held by the ESOP and shares distributed to Member accounts totaled approximately $17,285,000 and $5,530,000, respectively. Cash contributed in 1999 by FPL Group for the debt service shortfall totaled approximately $23,864,000. The unallocated shares of Common Stock acquired with the proceeds of the Acquisition Indebtedness are collateral for the Acquisition Indebtedness. As principal payments are made, a percentage of Common Stock is released as collateral and becomes available to satisfy matching contributions, as well as to repay dividends on ESOP shares distributed to Member accounts for debt service. During 1999, 496,740 shares of Common Stock were released as collateral for the Acquisition Indebtedness. The scheduled principal repayments of the Acquisition Indebtedness for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: 2000 - $1,872,600; 2001 - $3,883,000; 2002 - $4,451,600; 2003 - $5,023,600; 2004 - $5,604,000 and thereafter - $301,765,150. See Note 2 for information on the Plan's allocation percentage of the Acquisition Indebtedness. 4. Parties-In-Interest Transactions Company contributions are primarily made in Common Stock released from the ESOP Account or in cash which is used by the Trustee to purchase Common Stock. Such amounts are reported as noncash contributions (from employer) and contributions received from employer, respectively. During 1999, all Company contributions were made in Common Stock released from the ESOP Account. Dividend income earned by the Plan results from dividends on Common Stock. Dividends on shares held in the ESOP Account were used to repay the Acquisition Indebtedness (see Note 3). Certain dividends on shares held in Members' accounts are reinvested in Common Stock for the benefit of its Members pursuant to FPL Group's Dividend Reinvestment and Common Share Purchase Plan in which the Trustee participates. 5. Investments Investments that represent five percent or more of the Plan's net assets available for benefits are as follows: 						 December 31, 						 1999 1998 Moderate Growth Investment Strategy ...... $ 69,178,124 $ 58,690,323 Long-term Growth Investment Strategy ..... 81,808,867 66,918,128 FPL Managed Income Portfolio ............. 174,690,983 170,873,262 Spartan U.S. Equity Index Fund ........... 154,060,160 148,351,892 Fidelity Magellan Fund ................... 139,965,850 116,864,219 Fidelity OTC Portfolio ................... 127,745,651 72,529,468 FPL Group Company Stock Fund ............. 260,453,458 366,300,945 6. Income Taxes In February 1996, FPL received from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) a favorable determination that the Plan, as amended and restated through January 1, 1995, met the requirements of Section 401 of the Code. The Trust established under the Plan will generally be exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code; Company contributions paid to the Trust under the Plan will be allowable federal income tax deductions of the Company subject to the conditions and limitations of Section 404 of the Code; and the Plan will meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code allowing Tax Saver Contributions to be exempt from federal income tax at the time such contributions are made, provided that in operation the Plan and Trust meet the applicable provisions of the Code. In addition, FPL Group will be able to claim an income tax deduction for dividends used to repay the Acquisition Indebtedness and for dividends distributed directly to members. Company contributions to the Plan on a Member's behalf, Member's Tax Saver Contributions, and the earnings thereon generally are not taxable to the Member until such Company contributions, Tax Saver Contributions, and earnings from investments are distributed or withdrawn. A loan from a Member's account generally will not represent a taxable distribution if the loan is repaid in a timely manner and does not exceed certain limitations. 7. Expenses Certain fees such as annual account maintenance and investment management fees are paid by Plan participants. Trustee's fees and expenses are paid by FPL Group (which may charge each company under the Plan its allocated share) and, therefore, are not reflected in the financial statements. 8.
