Explanation of Responses:

(1)   Phantom Stock Units APPROXIMATE the number of phantom shares of FPL Group Common Stock attributable to phantom units credited to the reporting person's account under the FPL Group, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan. Compensation deferred under the Plan is deemed to be invested in a number of unfunded theoretical units equal to the number of "units" which would have been credited if the deferred compensation had been invested in FPL Group's company stock fund in its Thrift Plan (the "Stock Fund"). The Stock Fund is accounted for in "units" of a unitized pool of stock and cash, with the value of each "unit" determined by reference to the closing price of FPL Group Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on any given date. PHANTOM STOCK UNITS REPORTED ABOVE ARE ESTIMATED based on the number of shares of FPL Group Common Stock in the Stock Fund represented by each "unit" of the Stock Fund on a given date, multiplied by the number of theoretical units credited to the reporting person upon a deferral or held at the end of the period. Accounts are payable only in cash at the end of the deferral period. This filing is not an admission that Phantom Stock Units or the theoretical units of the Stock Fund are derivative securities.

(2)   Differences in holdings on any given date may result from varying percentages of cash and stock held in the Stock Fund on different dates.
