To the Participants and the Employee Benefit Plans Administrative Committee:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the FPL Group Bargaining Unit Employee Thrift Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004. 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, 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 at end of year) as of December 31, 2004 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 2004 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.

The Plan

The following description of the FPL Group Bargaining Unit Employee Thrift Plan (Plan) provides only general information. Participating employees (Participants) should refer to the Summary Plan Description available in their employee handbook (as updated periodically through Summaries of Material Modifications) for a more complete description of the Plan. Fidelity Management Trust Company (Trustee) administers the trust (Trust) established under the Plan and the FPL Group Employee Thrift Plan (Group Plan). Effective January 1, 2004, the Plan's name was changed from Employee Thrift and Retirement Savings Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees of Florida Power & Light Company.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The portion of the Plan investing in common stock (Common Stock) of FPL Group, Inc. (FPL Group or Company) has been designated as an employee stock ownership plan. Participation in the Plan, which is voluntary, is open to any employee of Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), FPL Energy Maine Operating Services, LLC (FPL Energy Maine), or FPL Energy Seabrook, LLC (Seabrook) whose compensation is established under a collective bargaining agreement between FPL or FPL Energy Maine and its respective unit of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers AFL-CIO or between Seabrook and The Utility Workers Union of America (collectively, Bargaining Unit). Bargaining Unit employees are eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the month coincident with the completion of one full month of service or on the first day of any payroll period thereafter. The Plan includes a cash or deferred compensation arrangement (Pretax Option) permitted by Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code). The Pretax Option permits Participants to elect to defer federal income taxes on all or a portion of their contributions (Pretax Contributions) until they are distributed from the Plan. Under current tax law, the annual limitation on Pretax Contributions for the 2004 plan year was increased to $13,000 and will increase an additional $1,000 each year through 2006. In addition, individuals age 50 or older who contributed the maximum allowable under the Plan had the option of contributing up to an additional $3,000 in Pretax Contributions for 2004. This catch-up amount increases an additional $1,000 for each year through 2006.

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. Pursuant to the Leveraged ESOP, 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 (Leveraged ESOP Account). As the Acquisition Indebtedness (including interest) is repaid, each Participant's account is allocated its portion of Common Stock released from the Leveraged ESOP Account.

During 2004, the Plan had a Dividend Payout Program which enabled 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 Account do not qualify under this program. The options available to Participants included reinvestment of dividends in Common Stock, distribution of dividends in cash, 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

Except for Seabrook bargaining unit employees, the Plan allows for combined pretax and after-tax contributions by eligible employees in whole percentages from 1% to 20% of their "earnings," as defined in the Plan (Earnings), which is matched in part by the Company with shares of Common Stock. Except for Seabrook bargaining unit employees, for pretax or after-tax contributions, the Company match is 100% on the first 3% of a Participant's Earnings, 50% on the next 3% and 25% on the next 1%. Seabrook bargaining unit employees can elect to contribute up to a combined pretax and after-tax maximum of 50% of their Earnings and, for pretax or after-tax contributions, the Company match is 100% on the first 3% of a Participant's Earnings. Contributions are subject to certain limitations.

The value of a Participant's contributions (including all income, gains and losses) is at all times 100% vested. For bargaining unit employees of FPL Energy Maine, Company matching contributions are fully vested upon attaining six months of service. For bargaining unit employees of Seabrook, Company matching contributions are fully vested immediately after completing one full month of service. For all others, Company matching contributions vest at a rate of 20% each year and are fully vested upon a Participant attaining five years of service. An employee may also receive vesting credit for prior years of service with FPL Group or any of its subsidiaries.

The Plan's investment options include fourteen core funds, as well as a "window" containing 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, a small-capitalization equity index fund and Common Stock. The "pre-mixed" investment strategy options are made up of different allocations of investment options providing various combinations of stocks and fixed income investments.

The Plan allows Participants, at any time, to change their contribution percentage, to change their investment option allocation for future contributions or to transfer all or a portion of their account balance attributable to Participant contributions from one investment option to another, subject to certain limitations. At December 31, 2004, the number of active Participants in the Plan was 3,537. Company matching contributions are made primarily from Common Stock shares released from the Leveraged ESOP Account. Forfeitures of non-vested Company matching contributions due to termination of Plan participation may be used to reduce the amount of future Company matching contributions to the Plan or may be applied to administrative expenses. A Participant who has attained at least the age of 50 and completed five years of service will be permitted to transfer all or any portion of Company matching contributions made to his or her account and any earnings thereon to one or more of the other investment options. Any future Company matching contributions will continue to be invested in Common Stock. Company matching contributions made on behalf of business managers and others employed by FPL's bargaining unit and serving on FPL property while on a leave of absence from FPL will be reimbursed by FPL's bargaining unit.

A Participant 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 Participant's account, whichever is less. The vested portion of a Participant's account will be pledged as security for the loan. The annual rate of interest for loans is determined taking into account the prime rate at the time of origination. The interest rate for Participant loans is fixed and ranged from 4.00% to 9.00% for loans outstanding at December 31, 2004. The maturity dates for loans outstanding at December 31, 2004 ranged from 2005 to 2009.

Withdrawals by Participants from their accounts during their employment are permitted with certain penalties and restrictions. The penalties may limit a Participant'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 Group Plan. The majority of transfers arise as a result of Participants transferring between bargaining unit and non-bargaining unit status while employed by FPL, FPL Energy Maine or Seabrook.

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 Participants is recognized when earned. Contributions by Participants and Company matching contributions are recorded on the basis of amounts withheld through payroll deductions. Distributions to Participants are recorded when paid.

On February 18, 2005, FPL Group's board of directors approved a two-for-one stock split of Common Stock effective March 15, 2005 (2005 stock split). The Common Stock share information included herein reflects the effect of the 2005 stock split.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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). Included in general investments and investment in Master Trust are shares of registered investment companies valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. Common Stock is valued at its quoted market price. Loans to Participants are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility, which could result in changes in the value of such securities.

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 Participant accounts are adjusted daily; securities held in the Leveraged 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, 2004, the contract value and fair value of investment contracts were $94,085,766 and $94,173,826, respectively. At December 31, 2003, the contract value and fair value of investment contracts were $91,749,320 and $93,359,380, respectively. The average yield for the portfolio of investment contracts was 3.59% and 4.38% for 2004 and 2003, respectively. The crediting interest rate at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was 3.54% and 3.80%, respectively. The crediting interest rate is based on an agreed-upon formula with the issuers, but cannot be less than zero. See Note 8.

The assets, liabilities and net income of the Leveraged ESOP Account are not considered plan assets but are for the joint benefit of the Plan and the Group Plan. The Leveraged ESOP Account is allocated for financial reporting purposes based on each plan's relative end-of-year net assets. The Plan's allocation of Common Stock held in the Leveraged 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 Participants. The employer securities will be released from the Leveraged ESOP Account and allocated to accounts of Participants under the Plan 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 through year end are included in the investment in Master Trust amount on the statements of net assets available for benefits. The Acquisition Indebtedness will be repaid from dividends on the shares acquired by the Leveraged 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 reallocation of the Leveraged ESOP Account. The value of the shares allocated to accounts of participants under the plans is not affected by these allocations.

Condensed financial statements of the Leveraged ESOP Account are presented below, indicating the allocations made to each plan. The effect of 2004 Leveraged ESOP activity on net assets is included in transfers in the financial statements of each plan. Allocation of shares to the plans is presented as noncash contributions in the financial statements of each plan.

In December 1990, the Trust, which holds plan assets for the Plan and the Group Plan, borrowed $360 million from FPL Group Capital to purchase approximately 24.8 million shares of Common Stock. The Acquisition Indebtedness is currently scheduled to mature in 2018, 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 Leveraged ESOP Account and ESOP shares allocated to accounts of participants under the plans, together with cash contributions from FPL Group. For those dividends on shares allocated to accounts of participants under the plans used to repay the loan, additional shares, equal in value to those dividends, will be allocated to accounts of participants under the plans. In 2004, dividends received from both shares held by the Leveraged ESOP Account and shares allocated to accounts of participants under the plans totaled $14,502,007 and $9,628,950, respectively. Cash contributed in 2004 by FPL Group for the debt service shortfall totaled $18,087,092.

See Note 2 for information on the Plan's allocation percentage of the Acquisition Indebtedness.

Company matching contributions are made primarily in Common Stock released from the Leveraged 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 2004, all Company matching contributions were made in Common Stock released from the Leveraged ESOP Account.

Dividend income earned by the Plan results from dividends on Common Stock. Dividends on shares held in the Leveraged ESOP Account were used to repay the Acquisition Indebtedness (see Note 3). Certain dividends on shares held in Participants' accounts are reinvested in Common Stock for the benefit of its Participants pursuant to FPL Group's Dividend Reinvestment and Common Share Purchase Plan in which the Trustee participates.

Certain Plan investments are managed by an affiliate of the Trustee and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

Investments that represent five percent or more of the Plan's net assets available for benefits are as follows:

Company matching contributions to the Plan on a Participant's behalf, the Participant's Pretax Contributions, and the earnings thereon generally are not taxable to the Participant until such Company matching contributions, Pretax Contributions, and earnings from investments are distributed or withdrawn. A loan from a Participant's account generally will not represent a taxable distribution if the loan is repaid in a timely manner and does not exceed certain limitations.

Certain fees, such as investment management fees, are paid by Plan Participants. Trustee's fees and expenses are paid primarily with amounts contained in the forfeiture accounts of the Trust and are reflected in the financial statements as administrative expenses. Any fees and expenses exceeding the amount paid from the forfeiture accounts are paid by FPL Group and, therefore, are not reflected in the Plan financial statements.

A portion of the Plan's investments are in a master trust (Master Trust) which was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and the Group Plan. Each participating plan has an undivided interest in the Master Trust. The assets of the Master Trust are held by the Trustee. The assets, income and expenses are allocated among the participating plans in proportion to the fair value of the net assets invested in each plan.

A summary of participating interest in and financial statements for the Master Trust follows.
