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") as of June 1, 1993 and
January 1, 1993, and the related statement of income and changes in
net assets for the period January 1, 1993 to June 1, 1993 (date of
merger). 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 June 1,
1993 and January 1, 1993 and its income and changes in net assets for
the period January 1, 1993 to June 1, 1993 (date of merger), 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
schedule of transactions in excess of five percent of the current
value of plan assets for the period January 1, 1993 to June 1, 1993
(date of merger), 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 1993 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 period January 1, 1993 to June 1, 1993 (date of merger)
1. Description of the Plan and Significant Accounting Policies
The Plan
The FPL Group Employee Thrift Plan (Plan) was merged into the
Employee Thrift and Retirement Savings Plan (FPL Plan) as of June 1,
1993. The resulting plan was renamed FPL Group Employee Thrift Plan
(FPL Group Plan). Participating employees (Members) should refer to
the Summary Plan Description in their employee handbook and the FPL
Group Plan financial statements for a more complete description of the
FPL Group Plan.
The Plan included 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 permitted 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.
The Plan also included 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 was initially held in a separate
account (ESOP Account). As the Acquisition Indebtedness (including
interest) was repaid, each Member's account was allocated its share of
Common Stock released from the ESOP Account.
The Plan provided for basic contributions by eligible employees in whole
percentages from 1% to 6% of their base compensation (Earnings),
which were 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 provided for supplemental contributions by
Members to be made in whole percentages from 1% to 10% of their
Earnings, which were not matched by the Company. All such amounts
were held in trust and invested by Mellon Bank, NA (Trustee) as directed
by the investment managers (Investment Manager) of the various
investment funds.
Loans, Contributions, Withdrawals and Transfers to (from) the Plan
A Member could borrow from his or her Plan accounts during their
employment under certain conditions.
The Plan's investment options 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 FPL Plan. Assets of the
Plan, the FPL Bargaining Plan and the FPL 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 FPL 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 7) as well as with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).
The Plan allowed 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 had only two elections annually to change their contribution
percentage. Company contributions were deposited only to
the Member's account in Fund C. Forfeitures of non-vested Company
contributions due to termination of Plan participation were used to
reduce the amount of future Company contributions to the Plan. A
Member who attained the age of fifty-five and completed five years of
service while a Member was 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 did not affect
the investment of future Company contributions in Fund C. Once this
election was made, the amount transferred could not be redirected to
another investment fund.
The value of a Member's contributions (including all income, gains and
losses) was at all times 100% vested. Company contributions vested at
a rate of 20% each year and were fully vested upon a Member attaining
five years of service as a Member of the Plan. An employee could also
receive vesting credit for prior years of service as a member of the FPL
Bargaining Plan or the FPL Plan. Vesting was not affected by a
Member's child care leave of absence taken in accordance with
Company policies and procedures. A Member was 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 was required to be distributed no later than
April 1 of the year following the calendar year in which the Member
attained age 70-1/2 or, if installment benefits commence no later than
such April 1, installment payments were to be made over a period which
did 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
was to 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 was permitted with certain penalties and restrictions. The
penalties limited a Member's participation in the Plan for varying periods
following a withdrawal.
Transfers to (from) the Plan represent net transfers between the Plan
and either the FPL Bargaining Plan or the FPL Plan. The transfers
arose as a result of members relocating between affiliated entities
participating in the plans.
The Plan was 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. 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 Plan into the FPL 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.

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. 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.
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 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 of the Board of Directors of
FPL Group approved the termination of an unrelated employee stock
ownership plan for employees of Florida Power & Light Company
(Terminated Plan), effective January 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. Income Taxes
In August 1988, FPL Group received from the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) a favorable determination that the Plan, as adopted 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 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.
6. 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
were paid by the Trust. All other expenses of the Plan, including
Trustee's fees and expenses, were 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.
