INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF FPL GROUP, INC.:
We have audited the statements of financial condition of the FPL
Group Employee Thrift Plan (the "Plan"), formerly the Employee Thrift
and Retirement Savings Plan, as of December 31, 1993 and January 1,
1993, and the related statement of income and changes in net assets
for the year ended December 31, 1993. 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 generally accepted
auditing standards. 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 financial condition of the Plan at
December 31, 1993 and January 1, 1993 and its income and changes in
net assets for the year ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental
schedules of (1) assets held for investment as of December 31, 1993,
and (2) transactions in excess of five percent of the current value
of plan assets for the year ended December 31, 1993, are presented
for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements, but are 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. These schedules are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Such schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1993 financial
statements and, in our opinion, are 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, 1993
1. Description of the Plan and Significant Accounting Policies
The Plan
As of June 1, 1993, the FPL Group Employee Thrift Plan (Group Plan)
was merged into the Employee Thrift and Retirement Savings Plan. The
resulting plan was renamed the FPL Group Employee Thrift Plan (Plan).
The following description of the 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. During the year, Mellon Bank, N.A. (Trustee) administered
the trust established under the Plan (Trust) and acted as the custodian
of all the Plan's investment securities.
Participation in the Plan is voluntary. Employees (other than certain
union employees) are eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of
the month coincident with the completion of six continuous full months of
service with Florida Power & Light Company (FPL or Company) or on
the first day of any month 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 his contributions (Tax Saver
Contributions) until they are distributed from the Plan. Tax Saver
Contributions were limited in 1993 to a maximum of $8,994 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, Inc. (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 share of
Common Stock released from the ESOP Account.
The Plan provides for basic contributions by eligible employees in whole
percentages from 1% to 6% of their base compensation (Earnings),
which are matched 50% (100% for the first three percent of a Member's
Earnings contributed as a basic Tax Saver Contribution) by the
Company. The Plan also provides for supplemental contributions by
Members to be made in whole percentages from 1% to 10% of their
Earnings, which are not matched by the Company. All such amounts
are held in trust and invested by the Trustee as directed by the
investment managers (Investment Manager) of the various investment
funds.
Changes to the Plan
The Employee Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of FPL
Group (Employee Benefits Committee) approved an amendment to the
Plan, the provisions of which were effective as of January 1, 1993.
These changes were primarily for administrative purposes and did not
have a material impact on Plan benefits.
Fidelity Management Trust Company will replace Mellon Bank, N.A. as
trustee and Fidelity Institutional Retirement Services Company
("Fidelity") will replace Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as investment manager,
effective January 1, 1994. Fidelity will expand the investment choices to
include eleven investment options.
Loans, Contributions, Withdrawals and Transfers to (from) the Plan
A Member may borrow from his or her Plan accounts during their
employment under certain conditions. At December 31, 1993, the loan
interest rate was 7.5%.
The Plan's investment options during the year consisted of the following
three investment funds (Funds): (1) Fund A - Capital Preservation Fund
- - - Investments in one or more fixed income agreements between FPL
Group and insurance companies or other financial institutions (each
being an Investment Manager), as determined from time to time by FPL
Group. The rate of return on Fund A is based upon a combination of all
contracts in the Fund (blended rate); (2) Fund B - Standard & Poor's 500
Equity Fund - Investments in a collective investment fund consisting of a
portfolio of common stocks designed to approximate the performance of
the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price index (S&P 500
Index). The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based index of mostly large
companies which operate in a wide variety of industries and market
sectors. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. is the Investment Manager for Fund B;
and (3) Fund C - Company Stock Fund - Investments in Common Stock.
In 1993, the Plan utilized the same Trust, maintained by FPL Group, as
was used for the Bargaining Unit Employee Thrift and Retirement
Savings Plan (FPL Bargaining Plan) and the Group Plan. Assets of the
Plan, the FPL Bargaining Plan and the Group Plan were maintained
separately with respect to Fund C, but were commingled for Funds A
and B and the ESOP Account. For financial statement presentation, the
assets, liabilities, net income and transfers of the ESOP Account were
allocated between the Plan, the FPL Bargaining Plan and the Group
Plan (see Note 2). In addition, the Plan reports the value of its interest
in the commingled fund accounts (Master Trusts) for Funds A and B.
Detailed information on assets and liabilities of the Master Trust is filed
herewith (see Note 8) as well as with the U.S. Department of Labor
(DOL).
The Plan allows Members, at any time, to change their investment fund
allocation for future contributions or to transfer their account balance
attributable to member contributions from one fund to another. However,
Members have only two elections annually to change their contribution
percentage. At year end, the number of Members contributing to the
Plan was 7,127. Company contributions are deposited only to the
Member's account in Fund C. 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. A Member who
has attained the age of fifty-five and completed five years of service
while a Member will be permitted a special, one-time election to transfer
the total Company contributions made to his or her account in Fund C
and any earnings thereon to Fund A. This election will not affect the
investment of future Company contributions in Fund C. Once this
election has been made, the amount transferred may not be redirected
to another investment fund.
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 or the Group Plan. Vesting is not affected by a
Member's child care leave of absence taken in accordance with
Company policies and procedures. A Member will be fully vested upon
retirement (as defined in the Plan), total and permanent disability, death,
discontinuance of Company contributions or termination of the Plan. A
Member's account balance is required to be distributed no later than
April 1 of the year following the calendar year in which the Member
attains age 70-1/2 or, if installment benefits commence no later than
such April 1, installment payments must be made over a period which
does not extend beyond the life expectancy of the Member. The
payment of a lump sum deferred for a period to be determined by the
Member shall be made no later than the later of five years following the
Member's termination of employment or his attainment of age 65.
Withdrawals by Members from certain of their accounts during their
employment are permitted with certain penalties and restrictions. The
penalties limit a Member's participation in the Plan for varying periods
following a withdrawal.
Transfers to (from) the Plan generally represent net transfers between
the Plan and either the FPL Bargaining Plan or the Group Plan (see
Note 4). The transfers arise as a result of members relocating between
affiliated entities participating in the plans.
The Plan is designed to comply with the Code, the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) and regulations of
the U.S. Department of Treasury and the DOL.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are reported in accordance with the
requirements of ERISA. The financial statements of the Plan report the
Plan's interest in the net assets of the Master Trust. Financial
statements of the Master Trust are filed herewith and directly with the
DOL as required.
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on 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 (see Note 5). Assets of the Plan are stated at market value, except
loans to Members which are stated at cost and insurance and financial
institution contracts which are stated at contract value, all of which
approximates market value. Market value is determined using the
closing market price or the last recorded bid price.
Investments
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 monthly; securities held
in the ESOP account (see Note 2) are adjusted annually. Unrealized
appreciation or depreciation is recorded to recognize changes in market
value.
2. Employee Stock Ownership Plan Account Allocation
The assets, liabilities and net income of the ESOP Account are held in a
separate account and are allocated for financial reporting purposes
based on each plan's relative net assets. The allocation of net income
of the ESOP account below reflects an allocation as of June 1, 1993
(date of merger of the Group Plan into the Plan) and again as of
December 31, 1993 for the remaining plans. The Plan's allocation of
Common Stock held by the ESOP Account (employer securities),
Acquisition Indebtedness and interest payable have been reflected in the
Statements of Financial Condition, but are not available for, or the
obligation of, Plan Members. The employer securities will be released
from the ESOP Account and allocated 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
(estimated to occur over a twenty year period). 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
transferred from the ESOP Account to each plan are not subject to this
allocated percentage, but are allocated based on the actual amount
transferred.
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 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.

Account and distributed to the plans during the current year.
3. Acquisition Indebtedness
In December 1990, the Trust borrowed $360 million from FPL Group
Capital to purchase approximately 12.4 million shares of Common Stock.
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 allocated to each Member's account and released as
collateral. During 1993, 518,313 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: 1994 - $2,987,000; 1995 -
$4,190,000; 1996 - $5,532,000; 1997 - $7,032,000; 1998 - $8,705,000
and thereafter - $328,530,000. The stated maturity of the Acquisition
Indebtedness is 20 years bearing interest at a fixed rate of 9.69% per
year and is to be repaid using dividends received on the Common Stock
acquired by the ESOP Account along with cash contributions from FPL
Group, which totaled $29,619,000 and $7,009,000 respectively, in 1993.
See Note 2 for information on the Plan's allocation percentage of the
Acquisition Indebtedness.
4. Parties-In-Interest Transactions
Company contributions are made in Common Stock released from the
ESOP Account or in cash, which is used to purchase Common Stock by
the Trustee. Such amounts are reported as noncash contributions (from
employer) and contributions received from employer, respectively.
All dividends received by the Plan were earned on Common Stock.
Dividends on shares held in by the ESOP Account were used to service
the Acquisition Indebtedness (see Note 3). Dividends on shares held in
Members' accounts were reinvested in Common Stock pursuant to FPL
Group's Dividend Reinvestment and Common Share Purchase Plan in
which the Trustee participates.
In 1992, the Employee Benefits Committee approved the termination of
an unrelated employee stock ownership plan for employees of FPL
(Terminated Plan), effective January 1, 1993. Employees participating in
the Terminated Plan were given various distribution options, including
transferring their ownership interest in Common Stock in the Terminated
Plan to the Plan.
5. Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500
Generally accepted accounting principles require benefit payments to be
recorded when paid. Benefit payments as reported on Form 5500 are
recorded when processed and approved for payment. The following is a
reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial
statements to the Form 5500:
December 31,
1993
Net assets available for benefits per the financial statements ............................. $740,326,156
Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants .............................................. (37,883,332)
Net assets available for benefits per the Form 5500 ........................................ $702,442,824
The following is a reconciliation of benefits paid to participants per the
financial statements to the Form 5500:

Add: Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants at December 31, 1993 ................... 16,504,008
Benefits paid to participants per the Form 5500 ............................................ $ 79,917,451
6. Income Taxes
In January 1989, FPL received from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
a favorable determination that the Plan, as amended and restated
effective January 1, 1988, met the requirements of Section 401 of the
Code. The IRS, in Revenue Procedure 93-6, has recently opened the
determination process for plans which combine 401(k) or 401(m) and
ESOP features, such as this Plan. The Company intends to submit
applications in 1994 for favorable determinations from the IRS that the
Plan, both as amended and restated effective July 16, 1990, including
amendments effective January 1, 1991, and as further amended through
January 1, 1994, remains qualified under
Section 401(a). If the Plan remains qualified, the Trust established
thereunder will remain 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.
Company contributions to the Plan on a Member's behalf, the Member's
Tax Saver Contributions, and earnings from the investments made with
Company and Member contributions under the Plan 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 Plan accounts generally will not
represent a taxable distribution if the loan is repaid in a timely manner
and does not exceed certain limitations.
7. Expenses
All commissions, brokerage fees and expenses incident to the income or
assets of the Trust or the purchase or sale of securities by the Trustee
and distributions to Members and all taxes on the Trust or its income are
paid by the Trust. All other expenses of the Plan, including Trustee's
fees and expenses, are paid either by FPL Group (which may charge
each company under the Plan its allocated share) or by each
participating company and, therefore, are not reflected in the financial
statements.
