Approximately $27 million of net losses included in NextEra Energy's AOCI at September 30, 2011 related to derivative instruments are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months as either principal and/or interest payments are made or electricity is sold.  Such amount assumes no change in power prices, interest rates or scheduled principal payments.  AOCI is separately displayed on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of NextEra Energy.  FPL's comprehensive income is the same as its reported net income.
