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 December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and the related statement of income and changes in net assets for the
year ended December 31, 1995. 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, 1995 and
1994 and its income and changes in net assets for the year ended
December 31, 1995 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, 1995,
and (2) transactions in excess of five percent of the current value of plan
assets for the year ended December 31, 1995, 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 1995 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, 1995
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 established
under the Plan (Trust).
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 FPL Group, Inc. (FPL Group or Company) or certain of its
subsidiaries 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 1995 to a maximum of $9,240 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 share of
Common Stock released from the ESOP Account.
Effective for the 1996 plan year, the Company instituted 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 new program. The options available to
participants include having dividends paid in cash; having dividends paid
in cash and an equivalent amount of their compensation contributed to
their thrift plan account; or taking a partial distribution with the balance
reinvested in Common Stock. Prior to this new program, all dividends on
stock in the FPL Group Company Stock Fund were reinvested in
Company Stock.
Contributions, Loans, Withdrawals and Transfers to (from) the Plan
For most of the year, the Plan provided for basic contributions by eligible
employees in whole percentages from 1% to 6% 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 and 50% on the next 3%. The Plan also provided
for supplemental contributions by Members to be made in whole
percentages from 1% to 10% of their Earnings, bringing the total
maximum contributions to 16%. Commencing in November 1995, an
additional 1% of Earnings may be contributed as a basic contribution and
will be matched 25% by the Company. Permitted supplemental
contributions are reduced to a maximum of 9%, so that the total
maximum contributions remains at 16%.
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
Employee Thrift and Retirement Savings Plan for the Bargaining Unit
Employees of Florida Power & Light Company (FPL Bargaining Plan).
The Plan's investment options include eleven investment choices: eight
core investment options and three investment strategy options. The core
investment options include various mutual funds, a separately managed
portfolio of short- and long-term investment contracts and Common
Stock. The strategy options combine portions of the individual core
investment options available through the Plan providing various
combinations of stocks and fixed income investments.
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 6,730. 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. 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 Plan accounts during his or her
employment under certain conditions. At December 31, 1995, the loan
interest rate was 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 participation in 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 FPL.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under 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. 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 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.
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 Financial Condition, 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
(estimated to occur over the next fifteen years). ESOP shares allocated
to date are classified as employer securities held by the Plan on the
Statements of Financial Condition. 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 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.

</TABLE>
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 released as collateral and becomes
available to satisfy matching contributions and dividend requirements
of the Plan. During 1995, 561,302 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:
1996 - $5,532,000; 1997 - $7,032,000; 1998 - $8,705,000; 1999 -
$10,568,000; 2000 - $12,640,000 and thereafter - $303,310,000. The
Acquisition Indebtedness matures in 2010, bears interest at a fixed
rate of 9.69% per year and is to be repaid using dividends received
on Common Stock held by the ESOP Account and ESOP shares distributed
to Member accounts, along with cash contributions from FPL Group. In
1995, such dividends received totaled approximately $21,250,000 and
cash contributions from FPL Group totaled approximately $19,239,000.
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.
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 were 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.

7. 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.
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.
8. Expenses
Certain fees such as annual account maintenance and investment
management fees are primarily paid by Plan participants. FPL Group
shares a portion of the annual account maintenance fees. 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.
9. Master Trusts
A summary of participating interest in and financial statements for the
Master Trusts follow.
