SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This combined report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The matters discussed throughout this combined Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking and, accordingly, involve estimates, projections, goals, forecasts, assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.

In addition, forward-looking statements are discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” including, but not limited to, statements under the sub-heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources” concerning operating cash flows.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and neither Florida Progress (the Company) nor Florida Power Corporation doing business as Progress Energy Florida, Inc. (PEF) undertakes any obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made.

Examples of factors that you should consider with respect to any forward-looking statements made throughout this document include, but are not limited to, the following: the impact of fluid and complex government laws and regulations, including those relating to the environment; deregulation or restructuring in the electric industry that may result in increased competition and stranded costs; the uncertainty regarding the timing, creation and structure of regional transmission organizations; weather conditions that directly influence the demand for electricity; our ability to recover through the regulatory process, and the timing of, the costs associated with the four hurricanes that impacted our service territory in 2004 or other significant weather events; recurring seasonal fluctuations in demand for electricity; fluctuations in the price of energy commodities and purchased power; successful maintenance and operation of PEF’s energy commodities and purchased power; economic fluctuations and the corresponding impact on PEF’s commercial and industrial customers; the inherent risks associated with the operation of nuclear facilities, including environmental, health, regulatory and financial risks; the impact of any terrorist acts generally and on our generating facilities and other properties; the ability to successfully access capital markets on favorable terms; the impact that increases in leverage may have on the Company and PEF; the ability of the Company and PEF to maintain their current credit ratings; the impact of derivative contracts used in the normal course of business; investment performance of pension and benefit plans and the ability to control costs; the availability and use of Internal Revenue Code Section 29 (Section 29) tax credits by synthetic fuel producers and the Company’s continued ability to use Section 29 tax credits related to its coal and synthetic fuel businesses; the impact to our financial condition and performance in the event it is determined the Company is not entitled to previously taken Section 29 tax credits; the outcome of any ongoing or future litigation or similar disputes and the impact of any such outcome or related settlements; and unanticipated changes in operating expenses and capital expenditures. Many of these risks similarly impact the Company’s subsidiaries.

These and other risks are detailed from time to time in Florida Progress’ and PEF’s SEC reports. All such factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results, and may be beyond the control of the Company and PEF. Many, but not all of the factors that may impact actual results of the Company and PEF are discussed in the Risk Factors section of PEF’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 which was filed with the SEC on March 12, 2004. You should carefully read these SEC reports. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the effect of each such factor on Florida Progress and PEF.
