Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lennar Corporation and all subsidiaries, partnerships and other entities in which Lennar Corporation has a controlling interest and VIEs in which Lennar Corporation is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (the “Company”) (see Note 15). The Company’s investments in both unconsolidated entities in which a significant, but less than controlling, interest is held and in VIEs in which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary, are accounted for by the equity method. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2009 filed on Form 8-K dated April 26, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made.

The Company has historically experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

On December 1, 2009, the Company adopted certain provisions of ASC 810. As required by these provisions, the presentation of noncontrolling interests, previously referred to as minority interests, has been changed on the condensed consolidated balance sheets to be reflected as a component of total equity and on the condensed consolidated statements of operations to separately disclose the amount of net earnings (loss) attributable to Lennar and the noncontrolling interests. In addition, the Company has also presented the changes in equity attributable to both Lennar Corporation and the noncontrolling interests of its subsidiaries (see Note 4).

In addition, on December 1, 2009, the Company also adopted other provisions of ASC 810 that amended the consolidation guidance applicable to VIEs and the definition of a VIE, and require enhanced disclosures to provide more information about an enterprise’s involvement in a VIE. ASC 810 also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The adoption of these provisions resulted in certain additional disclosures and in the deconsolidation of certain option contracts totaling $75.5 million, previously included in the Company’s consolidated inventory not owned in its condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 15).

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2010 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s results of operations. For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2009, the Company included other interest expense as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In 2010, the Company separately disclosed other interest expense in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and reclassified prior year amounts to conform with the 2010 presentation. In addition, as a result of the Company’s new reportable segment, Rialto Investments, the Company reclassified certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform with the 2010 presentation.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2) Operating and Reporting Segments

The Company’s operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. The Company’s reportable segments consist of:

(1)

Homebuilding East

(2)

Homebuilding Central

(3)

Homebuilding West

(4)

Homebuilding Houston

(5)

Lennar Financial Services

(6)

Rialto Investments

Information about homebuilding activities in states which are not economically similar to other states in the same geographic area is grouped under “Homebuilding Other,” which is not considered a reportable segment.

The Rialto Investments (“Rialto”) segment is a new reportable segment that met the reportable segment criteria set forth in GAAP beginning in the first quarter of 2010. All prior year segment information has been restated to conform with the 2010 presentation. The change had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, except for certain reclassifications (see Note 1). Rialto focuses on commercial and residential real estate opportunities arising from dislocations in the United States real estate markets and the eventual restructure and recapitalization of those markets.

Evaluation of segment performance is based primarily on operating earnings (loss) before income taxes. Operations of the Company’s homebuilding segments primarily include the construction and sale of single-family attached and detached homes, and to a lesser extent, multi-level residential buildings, as well as the purchase, development and sale of residential land directly and through the Company’s unconsolidated entities. Operating earnings (loss) for the homebuilding segments consist of revenues generated from the sales of homes and land, equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net, less the cost of homes and land sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and other interest expense of the segment. The Company’s reportable homebuilding segments, and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately, have divisions located in:

East: Florida, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia

Central: Arizona, Colorado and Texas ⁽¹⁾

West: California and Nevada

Houston: Houston, Texas

Other: Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, North Carolina and South Carolina

(1)

Texas in the Central reportable segment excludes Houston, Texas, which is its own reportable segment.

Operations of the Lennar Financial Services segment include primarily mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for both buyers of the Company’s homes and others. Substantially all of the loans the Lennar Financial Services segment originates are sold in the secondary mortgage market on a servicing released, non-recourse basis; although, the Company remains liable for certain limited representations and warranties related to loan sales. Lennar Financial Services operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services, less the cost of such services and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment. The Lennar Financial Services segment operates primarily in the same states as the Company’s homebuilding operations, as well as in other states.

Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

(unaudited)

Operations of the Rialto segment include sourcing, underwriting, pricing, managing, turning around and ultimately monetizing real estate assets, as well as providing similar services to others in markets across the country. Rialto Investments operating earnings (loss) consists of revenues generated primarily from accretable interest income associated with the portfolios of real estate loans acquired in partnership with the FDIC, fees for sub-advisory services and equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities, less the costs incurred by the segment for managing the portfolios and providing advisory services.

Each reportable segment follows the same accounting principles described in Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2009 filed on Form 8-K dated April 26, 2010. In addition, the Rialto Investments reportable segment also follows the accounting policies identified in Section 4 of Item 2 of this Form 10-Q, “Critical Accounting Policies.” Operational results of each segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had the segment been an independent stand alone entity during the periods presented.

For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010, a $15.0 million valuation adjustment related to the assets of an unconsolidated entity was not included because it resulted from a linked transaction where there was also a pre-tax gain of $22.7 million related to a debt extinguishment. The net pre-tax gain of $7.7 million from the transaction was included in Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities for three and nine months ended August 31, 2010.

The Company recorded significantly lower valuation adjustments during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010. However, as expected, after the expiration of the Federal homebuyer tax credit at the end of April, demand trends in many communities in which the Company is selling homes decreased despite the increased affordability from lower home prices and historically low interest rates. If these trends continue and there is further deterioration in the homebuilding market, it may cause additional pricing pressures and slower absorption. This may potentially lead to additional valuation adjustments in the future. In addition, market conditions may cause the Company to re-evaluate its strategy regarding certain assets that could result in further valuation adjustments and/or additional write-offs of option deposits and pre-acquisition costs due to abandonment of those options contracts.

(3) Lennar Homebuilding Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

Summarized condensed financial information on a combined 100% basis related to Lennar Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows:

(1)

The net loss of unconsolidated entities for both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 was primarily related to valuation adjustments recorded by the unconsolidated entities. The Company’s exposure to such losses was significantly lower as a result of its small ownership interest in the respective unconsolidated entities or its previous valuation adjustments to its investments in unconsolidated entities. In addition, the Company recorded a net pre-tax gain of $7.7 million from a transaction related to one of its unconsolidated entities for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010.

In fiscal 2007, the Company sold a portfolio of land to a strategic land investment venture with Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund II, L.P., an affiliate of Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., in which the Company has a 20% ownership interest and 50% voting rights. Due to the Company’s continuing involvement, the transaction did not qualify as a sale by the Company under GAAP; thus, the inventory has remained on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet in consolidated inventory not owned. As of August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the portfolio of land (including land development costs) of $422.8 million and $477.9 million, respectively, is reflected as inventory in the summarized condensed financial information related to Lennar Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities.

The Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, the Company and its partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities.

The summary of the Company’s net recourse exposure related to the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments was as follows:

Several recourse debt – repayment	$	36,795		42,691
Several recourse debt – maintenance		29,454		75,238

Less: joint and several reimbursement agreements with the Company’s partners		(60,878	)	(93,185	)

The Company’s net recourse exposure	$	119,409		194,555

During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, the Company reduced its maximum recourse exposure related to indebtedness of Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities by $107.5 million, of which $80.5 million was paid by the Company primarily through capital contributions to unconsolidated entities and $27.0 million related to a reduction in the number of joint ventures in which the Company has investments, the reduction of joint and several recourse debt and the joint ventures selling inventory.

As of November 30, 2009, the Company’s obligation guarantees, recorded as a liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet were $14.1 million. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, the liability was reduced by a net $3.4 million. The liability was reduced by $11.0 million as a result of the debt extinguishment related to one of the Company’s unconsolidated entities and by $1.6 million due to cash paid related to an obligation guarantee previously recorded. This was partially offset by an accrual of $9.2 million established by the Company to cover claims arising under obligation guarantees. As of August 31, 2010, the Company had $10.7 million of obligation guarantees recorded as a liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. The obligation guarantees are estimated based on current facts and circumstances and any unexpected changes may lead the Company to incur additional liabilities under its obligation guarantees in the future.

The recourse debt exposure in the previous table represents the Company’s maximum recourse exposure to loss from guarantees and does not take into account the underlying value of the collateral or the other assets of the borrowers that are available to repay the debt or to reimburse the Company for any payments on its guarantees. The Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities that have recourse debt have a significant amount of assets and equity. The summarized balance sheets of the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities with recourse debt were as follows:


(In thousands)	August 31, 2010		November 30, 2009
Assets	$	1,026,194	1,324,993
Liabilities		504,261	777,836
Equity		521,933	547,157

In addition, in most instances in which the Company has guaranteed debt of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, the Company’s partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their share of the guarantee payment. Some of the Company’s guarantees are repayment guarantees and some are maintenance guarantees. In a repayment guarantee, the Company and its venture partners guarantee repayment of a portion or all of the debt in the event of a default before the lender would have to exercise its rights against the collateral. In the event of default, if the Company’s venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, the Company may be liable for more than its proportionate share, up to its maximum recourse exposure, which is the full amount covered by the joint and several guarantee. The maintenance guarantees only apply if the value of the collateral (generally land and improvements) is less than a specified

Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

(unaudited)

percentage of the loan balance. If the Company is required to make a payment under a maintenance guarantee to bring the value of the collateral above the specified percentage of the loan balance, the payment would generally constitute a capital contribution or loan to the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and increase the Company’s share of any funds the unconsolidated entity distributes.

In connection with many of the loans to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, the Company and its joint venture partners (or entities related to them) have been required to give guarantees of completion to the lenders. Those completion guarantees may require that the guarantors complete the construction of the improvements for which the financing was obtained. If the construction is to be done in phases, the guarantee generally is limited to completing only the phases as to which construction has already commenced and for which loan proceeds were used.

During the three months ended August 31, 2010, there were: (1) payments of $3.0 million under the Company’s maintenance guarantees, (2) at the election of the Company, a loan paydown of $50.3 million, representing both the Company’s and its partner’s share, in return for a 4-year loan extension and the rights to obtain preferred returns and priority distributions at one of the Company’s unconsolidated entities, and (3) a $19.3 million payment to extinguish debt at a discount and buyout the partner of one of the Company’s unconsolidated entities resulting in a net pre-tax gain of $7.7 million. In addition, during the three months ended August 31, 2010, there were other loan paydowns of $0.9 million. During the three months ended August 31, 2009, there were no payments under maintenance guarantees and there were other loan repayments of $21.9 million, a portion of which related to amounts paid under the Company’s repayment guarantees. During the three months ended August 31, 2010, and 2009, there were no payments under completion guarantees.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, there were: (1) payments of $8.0 million under the Company’s maintenance guarantees, (2) at the election of the Company, a loan paydown of $50.3 million, representing both the Company’s and its partner’s share, in return for a 4-year loan extension and the rights to obtain preferred returns and priority distributions at one of the Company’s unconsolidated entities, and (3) a $19.3 million payment to extinguish debt at a discount and buyout the partner of one of the Company’s unconsolidated entities resulting in a net pre-tax gain of $7.7 million. In addition, during the nine months ended August 31, 2010, there were other loan paydowns of $27.9 million, a portion of which related to amounts paid under the Company’s repayment guarantees. During the nine months ended August 31, 2009, there were payments of $18.0 million under the Company’s maintenance guarantees and there were other loan repayments of $60.4 million, a portion of which related to amounts paid under the Company’s repayment guarantees. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, there were no payments under completion guarantees. During the nine months ended August 31, 2009, there was a payment of $5.6 million under a completion guarantee related to one joint venture.

Payments made to, or on behalf of, the Company’s unconsolidated entities, including payments made under guarantees, are recorded primarily as capital contributions to the Company’s Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.

As of August 31, 2010, the fair values of the maintenance guarantees, completion guarantees and repayment guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of August 31, 2010, in the event it becomes legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event under a guarantee, most of the time the collateral should be sufficient to repay at least a significant portion of the obligation or the Company and its partners would contribute additional capital into the venture.

In certain instances, the Company has placed performance letters of credit and surety bonds with municipalities for its joint ventures (see Note 11).

Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Lennar was the same as net earnings (loss) attributable to Lennar and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests was the same as the net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests for both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009.

The Company has a stock repurchase program which permits the purchase of up to 20 million shares of its outstanding common stock. During both 2009 and 2010, there were no share repurchases under the stock repurchase program. As of August 31, 2010, 6.2 million shares of common stock can be repurchased in the future under the program.

During the three months ended August 31, 2010, treasury stock increased by an immaterial amount of common shares. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, treasury stock increased by 0.1 million common shares, in connection with activity related to the Company’s equity compensation plan and forfeitures of restricted stock.

(5) Income Taxes

A reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance is required, if based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed periodically based on the more-likely-than-not realization threshold criterion. In the assessment for a valuation allowance, appropriate consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with loss carryforwards not expiring unused and tax planning alternatives.

Based upon an evaluation of all available evidence, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010, the Company recorded a reversal to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $12.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively, primarily due to the net earnings generated during this period. At August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the Company’s deferred tax assets, which are fully offset by a valuation allowance were $640.2 million and $647.4 million, respectively. In future periods, the allowance could be reduced based on sufficient evidence indicating that it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized.

At August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the Company had $46.0 million and $77.2 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, total unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $31.2 million primarily as a result of the withdrawal of an issue by the IRS and settlements with state taxing authorities. If the Company were to recognize these tax benefits, $25.0 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company expects the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to decrease by $14.4 million within twelve months as a result of the settlement of certain tax accounting items with the IRS with respect to the prior examination cycle that carried over to the current years under examination, and as a result of the conclusion of examinations with a number of state taxing authorities. The majority of these items were previously recorded as deferred tax liabilities and the settlement will not affect the Company’s tax rate.

At August 31, 2010, the Company had $27.4 million accrued for interest and penalties, of which $1.9 million was recorded during the nine months ended August 31, 2010. The accrual for interest was reduced by $8.1 million during the nine months ended August 31, 2010 as a result of settlements with state taxing authorities and the withdrawal of an issue by the IRS. At November 30, 2009, the Company had $33.6 million accrued for interest and penalties.

The IRS is currently examining the Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2005 through 2009, and certain state taxing authorities are examining various fiscal years. The final outcome of these examinations is not yet determinable. The statute of limitations for the Company’s major tax jurisdictions remains open for examination for fiscal years 2003 and subsequent years.

(6) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

Effective December 1, 2009, the Company adopted certain provisions under ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Under these provisions, all outstanding nonvested shares that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents that participate in undistributed earnings with common stock are considered participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s restricted common stock (“nonvested shares”) are considered participating securities. For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2009, the nonvested shares were excluded from the calculation of the denominator for diluted loss per share because including them would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss during those periods. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact to the Company’s basic and diluted loss per share.

At August 31, 2010, the Lennar Financial Services segment had a warehouse repurchase facility that matures in April 2011 with a maximum aggregate commitment of $100 million and an additional uncommitted amount of $100 million. In addition, the Lennar Financial Services segment amended its warehouse repurchase facility that matured in July 2010 by extending its maturity to July 2011 and increasing the maximum aggregate commitment from $125 million to $175 million to replace the $100 million warehouse repurchase facility that matured in August 2010. However, for the outstanding borrowings of $51.7 million under the facility that matured in August 2010, the maturity was extended through October 2010. At August 31, 2010, the maximum aggregate commitment under these facilities totaled $275 million.

Subsequent to August 31, 2010, the maximum aggregate commitment of Lennar Financial Services segment’s warehouse repurchase facility that matures in April 2011 was increased to $150 million and the uncommitted amount was decreased to $50 million.

The Lennar Financial Services segment uses these facilities to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to investors and expects the facilities to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. Borrowings under the facilities were $203.1 million (which includes the $51.7 million of borrowings discussed above) and $217.5 million, respectively, at August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $214.2 million and $266.9 million, respectively, at August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009. If the facilities are not renewed, the borrowings under the facilities will be paid off by selling the mortgage loans held-for-sale to investors and by collecting on receivables on loans sold but not yet paid. Without the facilities, the Lennar Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.

The Company reviews goodwill annually (or whenever indicators of impairment exist) in accordance with GAAP. Due to operating losses in the title operations of the Lennar Financial Services segment, the Company evaluated the carrying value of its Lennar Financial Services segment’s goodwill prior to its annual impairment test. The Company determined the fair value of its title operations based on the income approach. The evaluation concluded that a goodwill impairment was not required as of August 31, 2010.

Rialto’s operating earnings (loss) for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

Operating earnings (loss) (1)	$	18,487	(496	)	32,195	(1,517	)

(1)	Operating earnings (loss) for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 included $10.8 million and $20.4 million, respectively, of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests.

In February 2010, the Rialto segment acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies (“LLCs”), in partnership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), for approximately $243 million (net of transaction costs and a $22 million working capital reserve). The LLCs hold performing and non-performing loans formerly owned by 22 failed financial institutions. The two portfolios consist of more than 5,500 distressed residential and commercial real estate loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $3 billion and had an initial fair value of approximately $1.2 billion. The FDIC retained a 60% equity interest in the LLCs and provided $626.9 million of notes with 0% interest, which are non-recourse to the Company. In accordance with GAAP, interest has not been imputed because the notes are with, and guaranteed by, a governmental agency. The notes are secured by the loans held by the LLCs. Additionally, if the LLCs exceed expectations and meet certain internal rate of return and distribution thresholds, the Company’s equity interest in the LLCs could be reduced from 40% down to 30%, with a corresponding increase to the FDIC’s equity interest from 60% up to 70%. As of August 31, 2010, the notes payable balance was $626.9 million; however, during the nine months ended August 31, 2010, $62.9 million of cash collections on loans in excess of expenses were deposited in a defeasance account, established for the repayment of the notes payable, per the agreement with the FDIC. The funds in the defeasance account will be used to retire the notes payable upon their maturity.

The LLCs met the accounting definition of VIEs and since the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidated the LLCs. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact the LLCs’ performance through its management and servicer contracts. At August 31, 2010, these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of $1.3 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively.

All of the acquired loans for which (1) there was evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination and (2) for which it was deemed probable that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required principal and interest payments were accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, (“ASC 310-30”). For loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, management determined the value of the loan portfolio based on extensive due diligence on the loans, the underlying properties and the borrowers. Factors considered in the valuation were projected cash flows for the loans, type of loan and related collateral, classification status and current discount rates.

Under ASC 310-30, loans were pooled together according to common risk characteristics. The excess of the cash flows expected to be collected from the loans receivable at acquisition over the initial investment for those loans receivable is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the expected life of the pools primarily using the constant effective yield method. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be

Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

(unaudited)

collected is referred to as the nonaccretable difference. Changes in the expected cash flows of loans receivable from the date of acquisition will either impact the accretable yield or result in a charge to the provision for loan losses in the period in which the changes become probable. Prepayments are treated as a reduction of cash flows expected to be collected and a reduction of contractually required payments such that the nonaccretable difference is not affected. Subsequent significant decreases to the expected cash flows related to loan impairment will generally result in a charge to the provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses, and a reclassification from accretable yield to nonaccretable difference. Subsequent probable and significant increases in cash flows will result in a recovery of any previously recorded allowance for loan losses, to the extent applicable, and a reclassification from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield. Certain amounts related to the ASC 310-30 loans are estimates and may change as the Company obtains additional information related to the respective loans.

Since the second quarter of 2010 the Company has recorded accretable interest income on its loan portfolios. The accretion of interest income is based on various estimates regarding loan performance. As the Company continues to obtain additional information related to the respective loans, these estimates may change from quarter-to-quarter. Therefore, the amounts of accretable interest income recorded for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The estimate of the total contractually required payments of the loans receivable at acquisition, February 9, 2010, was $3.7 billion, the cash flows expected to be collected on loans receivable being accounted for under ASC 310-30 were $1.6 billion, and both the carrying amount and fair value of those loans receivable was $1.2 billion. The accretable yield related to the loans receivable at May 31, 2010 was $0.3 billion. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010, the Rialto segment recognized $37.1 million and $69.9 million, respectively, of accretable interest income related to the loans receivable. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010, there were additions to the accretable yield of $45.0 million and $374.1 million, respectively. During both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010, there were deletions of $27.2 million. The accretable yield related to the loans receivable at August 31, 2010 was $0.3 billion. At both the acquisition date and August 31, 2010, there were loans receivable with a carrying value of approximately $100 million for which interest income was not being recognized because the timing and/or amounts of expected cash flows on such loans are not reasonably estimable.

In addition to the acquisition and management of the FDIC portfolios, an affiliate in the Rialto segment is a sub-advisor to the AllianceBernstein L.P. (“AB”) fund formed under the Federal government’s Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”) to purchase real estate related securities from banks and other financial institutions. The sub-advisor receives management fees for sub-advisory services. The Company committed to invest $75 million of the total equity commitments of approximately $1.2 billion made by private investors in this fund, and the U.S. Treasury has committed to a matching amount of approximately $1.2 billion of equity in the fund, as well as agreed to extend up to approximately $2.3 billion of debt financing. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010, the Company invested $7.5 million and $63.8 million, respectively, in the AB PPIP fund. As of August 31, 2010, the Company’s investment in the AB PPIP fund was $71.2 million.

Additionally, another subsidiary in the Rialto segment also has a $7.5 million, or approximately 5%, investment in a service and infrastructure provider to the residential home loan market (the “Service Provider”), which provides services to the consolidated LLCs.

In February 2010, the Company terminated its $1.1 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility as it was only being used to issue letters of credit. The Company entered into cash-collateralized letter of credit agreements with two banks with a capacity totaling $225 million. As of August 31, 2010, the Company had $120.8 million of cash-collateralized letters of credit.

The Company’s performance letters of credit outstanding were $74.9 million and $97.7 million, respectively, at August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009. The Company’s financial letters of credit outstanding were $195.9 million and $205.4 million, respectively, at August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009. Performance letters of credit are generally posted with regulatory bodies to guarantee the Company’s performance of certain development and construction activities, and financial letters of credit are generally posted in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts and for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at August 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding performance and surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects of the Company’s joint ventures) of $720.7 million. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, these bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed. As of August 31, 2010, there were approximately $329.0 million, or 46%, of costs to complete related to these site improvements. The Company does not presently anticipate any draws upon these bonds, but if such draws occur, the Company does not believe they would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2010, the Company issued $250 million of 6.95% senior notes due 2018 (the “6.95% Senior Notes”) at a price of 98.929% in a private placement. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of initial purchaser’s discount and expenses, were $243.9 million. The Company used the net proceeds of the sale of the 6.95% Senior Notes to fund purchases pursuant to its tender offer for its 5.125% senior notes due October 2010, its 5.95% senior notes due 2011 and its 5.95% senior notes due 2013. Interest on the 6.95% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning December 1, 2010. The 6.95% Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, and may at some time be guaranteed by some or substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries. Subsequently, most of the privately placed 6.95% Senior Notes were exchanged for substantially identical 6.95% senior notes that had been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. At August 31, 2010, the carrying amount of the 6.95% Senior Notes was $247.3 million.

In May 2010, the Company issued $276.5 million of 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 (the “2.00% Convertible Senior Notes”) at a price of 100% in a private placement. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, were $271.2 million. The net proceeds are being used for general corporate purposes, including repayments or repurchases of existing senior notes or other indebtedness. The 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at the initial conversion rate of 36.1827 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $27.64 per share of Class A common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. Holders of the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes will have the

right to require the Company to repurchase them for cash equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest, on each of December 1, 2013 and December 1, 2015. The Company will have the right to redeem the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes at any time on or after December 1, 2013 for 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest. Interest on the 2.00% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning December 1, 2010. Beginning with the nine-month interest period commencing December 1, 2013, under certain circumstances based on the average trading price of the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes, the Company may be required to pay contingent interest. The 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, and may at some time be guaranteed by some or substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries. At August 31, 2010, the carrying amount of the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes was $276.5 million.

In May 2010, the Company repurchased $289.4 million aggregate principal amount of its senior notes due 2010, 2011 and 2013 through a tender offer that ran from April 27, 2010 through May 25, 2010, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $10.8 million. Through the tender offer, the Company repurchased $76.4 million principal amount of its 5.125% senior notes due October 2010, $130.8 million of its 5.95% senior notes due 2011 and $82.3 million of its 5.95% senior notes due 2013.

In addition to the tender offer, during the nine months ended August 31, 2010, the Company repurchased $74.4 million principal amount of its 5.125% senior notes due October 2010 and $1.0 million principal amount of its 5.95% senior notes due 2011, resulting in a net pre-tax loss of $0.9 million. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, the Company also retired $151.0 million of mortgage notes on land and other debt, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $19.4 million.

In October 2010, the Company retired the remaining $99.2 million of its 5.125% senior notes due October 2010 for 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the maturity date.

(12) Product Warranty

Warranty and similar reserves for homes are established at an amount estimated to be adequate to cover potential costs for materials and labor with regard to warranty-type claims expected to be incurred subsequent to the delivery of a home. Reserves are determined based on historical data and trends with respect to similar product types and geographical areas. The Company regularly monitors the warranty reserve and makes adjustments to its pre-existing warranties in order to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available. Warranty reserves are included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The activity in the Company’s warranty reserve was as follows:

As of August 31, 2010, the Company identified approximately 890 homes delivered in Florida primarily during its 2006 and 2007 fiscal years that are confirmed to have defective Chinese drywall and resulting damage. This represents a small percentage of homes the Company delivered in Florida (4.2%) and nationally (1.0%) during those fiscal years in the aggregate. Defective Chinese drywall appears to be an industry-wide issue as other homebuilders have publicly disclosed that they are experiencing similar issues with defective Chinese drywall.

Based on its efforts to date, the Company has not identified defective Chinese drywall in homes delivered by the Company outside of Florida. The Company is continuing its investigation of homes delivered during the relevant time period in order to determine whether there are additional homes, not yet inspected, with defective Chinese drywall and resulting damage. If the outcome of the Company’s inspections identifies more homes than the Company has estimated to have defective Chinese drywall, it might require an increase to the Company’s warranty reserve in the future. The Company has replaced defective Chinese drywall when it has been found in homes the Company has built.

Through August 31, 2010, the Company has accrued $80.7 million of warranty reserves related to homes confirmed as having defective Chinese drywall, as well as an estimate for homes not yet inspected that may contain Chinese drywall. No additional amount was accrued during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010. As of August 31, 2010, the warranty reserve, net of payments, was $29.1 million. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, the Company received payments of $58.5 million under its insurance coverage and through third party recoveries relative to the costs it has incurred and expects to incur remedying the homes confirmed and estimated to have defective Chinese drywall and resulting damage. The Company continues to seek additional reimbursement from its subcontractors, insurers and others for costs the Company has incurred or expects to incur to investigate and repair defective Chinese drywall and resulting damage.

(13) Share-Based Payment

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, compensation expense related to the Company’s share-based payment awards was as follows:

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009, using available market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies might have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The table excludes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, defeasance cash to retire notes payable, receivables, net, income tax receivables and accounts payable, which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments.

Lennar Financial Services:
Notes and other debts payable	$	203,206	203,206	217,557	217,557

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating fair values:

Lennar Homebuilding—For senior notes and other debts payable, the fair value of fixed-rate borrowings is based on quoted market prices. The Company’s variable-rate borrowings are tied to market indices and approximate fair value due to the short maturities associated with the majority of the instruments.

Rialto Investments—The fair value for loans receivable is based on discounted cash flows as of August 31, 2010. For notes payable, the fair value of the zero percent notes provided by the FDIC was calculated based on a 5-year treasury yield as of August 31, 2010.

Lennar Financial Services—The fair values are based on quoted market prices, if available. The fair values for instruments that do not have quoted market prices are estimated by management on the basis of discounted cash flows or other financial information.

Fair Value Measurements

GAAP provides a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value summarized as follows:

Level 1: Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Level 2: Fair value determined using significant other observable inputs.

Level 3: Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs.

The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value at August 31, 2010 on a recurring basis are all within the Lennar Financial Services segment and are summarized below:


Financial Instruments	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair Value at August 31, 2010
(Dollars in thousands)
Loans held-for-sale (1)	Level 2	$	190,538
Mortgage loan commitments	Level 2	$	6,689
Forward contracts	Level 2	$	(4,966	)

(1)	The aggregate fair value of loans held-for-sale of $190.5 million exceeds its aggregate principal balance of $183.3 million by $7.2 million.

The estimated fair values of the Lennar Financial Services segment financial instruments have been determined by using available market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies might have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating fair values:

Loans held-for-sale— Fair value is based on independent quoted market prices, where available, or the prices for other mortgage whole loans with similar characteristics. Management believes carrying loans held-for-sale at fair value improves financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring the fair value of the loans and the derivatives instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.

Mortgage loan commitments— Fair value of commitments to originate loans is based upon the difference between the current value of similar loans and the price at which the Lennar Financial Services segment has committed to originate the loans. The fair value of commitments to sell loan contracts is the estimated amount that the Lennar Financial Services segment would receive or pay to terminate the commitments at the reporting date based on market prices for similar financial instruments.

Forward contracts— Fair value is based on quoted market prices for similar financial instruments.

Rialto real estate owned— During the three months ended August 31, 2010, the Rialto Investments segment recorded real estate owned (“REO”) of $58.9 million measured at fair value (Level 3) on a nonrecurring basis. REO is initially recorded at fair value at the date of taking title less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of the REO is either based upon the appraised value or broker’s opinion value at the time of foreclosure.

(15) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

GAAP requires the consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company’s variable interest in VIEs may be in the form of (1) equity ownership, (2) contracts to purchase assets, (3) management and development agreements between the Company and a VIE, (4) loans provided by the Company to a VIE or other partner and/or (5) guarantees provided by members to banks and other third parties. The Company examines specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, level of economic disproportionality between the Company and the other partner(s) and contracts to purchase assets from VIEs.

Generally, all major decision making in the Company’s joint ventures is shared between all partners. In particular, business plans and budgets are generally required to be unanimously approved by all partners. Usually, management and other fees earned by the Company are nominal and believed to be at market and there is no significant economic disproportionality between the Company and other partners. Generally, the Company purchases less than a majority of the joint venture’s assets and the purchase prices under the Company’s option contracts are believed to be at market.

Generally, Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities become VIEs and consolidate when the other partner(s) lack the intent and financial wherewithal to remain in the entity. As a result, the Company continues to fund operations and debt paydowns through partner loans or substituted capital contributions.

The Company evaluated all joint venture agreements as of August 31, 2010. Based on the Company’s evaluation, there were no material entities that consolidated during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010, except for the LLCs in partnership with the FDIC in the Company’s Rialto segment. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact the LLCs’ economic performance through its management and servicer contracts. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010, there were no VIEs that deconsolidated other than the $75.5 million of option contracts that deconsolidated as a result of the adoption of ASC 810.

At August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the Company’s recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $664.9 million and $599.3 million, respectively, and the Rialto Investments segment’s investments in unconsolidated entities as of August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009 were $78.8 million and $9.9 million, respectively.

Consolidated VIEs

As of August 31, 2010, the carrying amount of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were $2,259.8 million and $953.7 million, respectively. Those assets are owned by, and those liabilities are obligations of, the VIEs, not the Company.

A VIE’s assets can only be used to settle obligations of a VIE. The VIEs are not guarantors of Company’s senior notes and other debts payable. In addition, the assets held by a VIE usually are collateral for that VIE’s debt. The Company and other partners do not generally have an obligation to make capital contributions to a VIE unless the Company and/or the other partner(s) have entered into debt guarantees with a VIE’s banks. Other than debt guarantee agreements with a VIE’s banks, there are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to a VIE. While the Company has option contracts to purchase land from certain of its VIEs, the Company is not required to purchase the assets and could walk away from the contracts.

Unconsolidated VIEs

At August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the Company’s recorded investments in VIEs that are unconsolidated and its estimated maximum exposure to loss were as follows:


As of August 31, 2010

(In thousands)	Investments in Unconsolidated VIEs		Lennar’s Maximum Exposure to Loss
Lennar Homebuilding (1)	$	142,776	173,084
Rialto Investments (2)		78,777	92,047

Total	$	221,553	265,131


As of November 30, 2009

(In thousands)	Investments in Unconsolidated VIEs		Lennar’s Maximum Exposure to Loss
Lennar Homebuilding (1)	$	84,352	84,352
Rialto Investments (2)		9,874	9,874

Total	$	94,226	94,226

(1)

At August 31, 2010, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs is limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs in addition to $30.0 million of recourse debt of one of the unconsolidated VIEs. At November 30, 2009, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs is limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs.

(2)

For Rialto’s investment in unconsolidated VIEs, the Company made a $75 million commitment to fund capital in the AB PPIP fund. As of August 31, 2010, the Company had contributed $63.8 million of the $75 million commitment and it cannot walk away from its commitment to fund capital. Therefore, as of August 31, 2010, the maximum exposure to loss for Rialto’s unconsolidated VIEs was higher than the carrying amount of its investment. At November 30, 2009, the maximum recourse exposure to loss of Rialto’s investment in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated entities.

While these entities are VIEs, the Company has determined that the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance is generally shared. While the Company generally manages the day-to-day operations of the VIEs, the VIEs have an executive committee made up of representatives from each partner. The members of the executive committee have equal vote and major decisions require unanimous consent and approval from all members. The Company does not have the unilateral ability to exercise participating voting rights without partner consent. Furthermore, the Company’s economic interest is not significantly disproportionate to the point where it would indicate that the Company has the power to direct these activities.

The Company and other partners do not generally have an obligation to make capital contributions to the VIEs, except for the Company’s $11.2 million remaining commitment to the AB PPIP fund and $30.0 million of recourse debt of one of the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated VIEs. There are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to the VIEs. While the Company has option contracts to purchase land from certain of its unconsolidated VIEs, the Company is not required to purchase the assets and could walk away from the contracts.

Option Contracts

The Company has access to land through option contracts, which generally enables it to control portions of properties owned by third parties (including land funds) and unconsolidated entities until the Company has determined whether to exercise the option.

A majority of the Company’s option contracts require a non-refundable cash deposit or irrevocable letter of credit based on a percentage of the purchase price of the land. The Company’s option contracts sometimes include price adjustment provisions, which adjust the purchase price of the land to its approximate fair value at the time of acquisition or are based on the fair value at the time of takedown.

The Company’s investments in option contracts are recorded at cost unless those investments are determined to be impaired, in which case the Company’s investments are written down to fair value. The Company reviews option contracts for indicators of impairment during each reporting period. The most significant indicator of impairment is a decline in the fair value of the optioned property such that the purchase and development of the optioned property would no longer meet the Company’s targeted return on investment with appropriate consideration given to the length of time available to exercise the option. Such declines could be caused by a variety of factors including increased competition, decreases in demand or changes in local regulations that adversely impact the cost of development. Changes in any of these factors would cause the Company to re-evaluate the likelihood of exercising its land options.

Some option contracts contain a predetermined take-down schedule for the optioned land parcels. However, in almost all instances, the Company is not required to purchase land in accordance with those take-down schedules. In substantially all instances, the Company has the right and ability to not exercise its option and forfeit its deposit without further penalty, other than termination of the option and loss of any unapplied portion of its deposit and pre-acquisition costs. Therefore, in substantially all instances, the Company does not consider the take-down price to be a firm contractual obligation.

When the Company does not intend to exercise an option, it writes off any unapplied deposit and pre-acquisition costs associated with the option contract.

The Company evaluates all option contracts for land to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of certain of these option contracts. Although the Company does not have legal title to the optioned land, if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, it is required to consolidate the land under option at the purchase price of the optioned land. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, the effect of consolidation of these option contracts was a net increase of $10.5 million to consolidated inventory not owned with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2010. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory consolidated, the Company reclassified the related option deposits from land under development to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2010. The liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned primarily represent the difference between the option exercise prices for the optioned land and the Company’s cash deposits. However, consolidated inventory not owned decreased due to (1) the Company exercising its options to acquire land under certain contracts previously consolidated and (2) the deconsolidation of certain option contracts totaling $75.5 million related to the adoption of certain new provisions under ASC 810, resulting in a decrease in consolidated inventory not owned of $130.2 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2010.

The Company’s exposure to loss related to its option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of its non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling $151.9 million and $127.4 million, respectively, at August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009. Additionally, the Company had posted $48.8 million and $58.2 million, respectively, of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain option contracts as of August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009.

(16) Subsequent Events

On September 30, 2010, the Company completed the acquisitions of approximately $740 million of distressed real estate assets, in separate transactions, from three large financial institutions. The combined portfolio includes 397 loans with a total unpaid principal balance of approximately $529 million and 306 REO properties with an appraised value of approximately $211 million. The distressed real estate assets were acquired at a discount. The Company paid $310 million for the distressed real estate assets of which, $125 million was a 5-year senior unsecured note provided by one of the selling financial institutions.

The loans consist primarily of non-performing residential and commercial acquisition development and construction loans. The real estate properties consist of land, lots, and single-family and multi-family residential communities at varying stages of completion. The acquired assets are located in 17 states, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions of the United States with the largest concentration of assets in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. In the combined portfolio, 65% of the assets are residential and 35% are commercial.

(17) New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB updated certain provisions of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, (“ASC 805”). These provisions broaden the guidance of ASC 805, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. It broadens the fair value measurement and recognition requirement of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and interests transferred as a result of business combinations. ASC 805 expands on required disclosures to improve the financial statement users’ abilities to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. ASC 805 was effective for the Company for business combinations that close on or after December 1, 2009. The adoption of these new provisions did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-18, Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset, (“ASU 2010-18”). Under ASU 2010-18, modification of loans accounted for within a pool under provisions for loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality does not result in removal of such loans from the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity must continue to consider whether the pool of assets in which the modified loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. ASU 2010-18 does not affect the accounting for loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality that are not accounted for within a pool. Loans accounted for individually that were acquired with deteriorated credit quality continue to be subject to the accounting provisions for troubled debt restructuring by creditors. The amended guidance is to be applied prospectively, with early application permitted. ASU 2010-18 is effective for modifications of loans accounted for within a pool that occur on or after September 1, 2010. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

(18) Supplemental Financial Information

The indentures governing the principal amounts of the Company’s 5.125% senior notes due 2010, 5.95% senior notes due 2011, 5.95% senior notes due 2013, 5.50% senior notes due 2014, 5.60% senior notes due 2015, 6.50% senior notes due 2016, 12.25% senior notes due 2017, 6.95% senior notes due 2018 and 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 require that, if any of the Company’s subsidiaries directly or indirectly guarantee at least $75 million principal amount of debt of Lennar Corporation, those subsidiaries must also guarantee Lennar Corporation’s obligations with regard to its senior notes. Until recently, the Company had a Credit Facility that required that substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries guarantee Lennar Corporation’s obligations under the Credit Facility, and therefore, those subsidiaries also guaranteed the Company’s obligations with regard to its senior notes. The Company recently terminated the Credit Facility and therefore there are no guarantors of Lennar Corporation’s obligations with regard to its senior notes. The entities referred to as “guarantors” in the following tables are subsidiaries that would have been guarantors if the Credit Facility were still in effect. Supplemental financial information for the guarantors is presented as follows:

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Item 1 of this Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for our fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 filed on Form 8-K dated April 26, 2010.

Some of the statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may include statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies and prospects. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include those described under the caption “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended November 30, 2009. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by Federal securities laws.

Outlook

During the first nine months of our 2010 fiscal year, we continued to see a housing market that was trying to stabilize. The expiration of the Federal homebuyer tax credit at the end of April has been more impactful than originally anticipated. As a result, our new sales orders for the third quarter were down 15% from the prior year. We believe that the recovery in the housing market is in a rocky stabilization process that will ultimately give way to improvement in the market; however, the timing and the degree of improvement remain uncertain.

We have remained focused on improving our core business and returning our company to profitability in 2010 and have achieved year-to-date profitability through our third quarter. Our principal focus in our homebuilding operations is on maintaining and improving our gross profit margin on the homes we sell rather than increasing sales volume. We have taken steps over the past several years to reduce costs and right-size our overhead structure. We have also repositioned our product offering to target first-time and value-focused homebuyers, the result of which has only recently begun to be reflected in our operating results. We continue to make carefully underwritten strategic acquisitions in well-positioned markets that will support our homebuilding operations going forward. As a result, we are beginning to open communities with land that we purchased relatively recently at prices that reflect the recent depressed state of the market with respect to land that is suitable for residential homebuilding.

Along with the improvement in our homebuilding operations, our recently formed Rialto Investments segment has already started to contribute to our bottom line results. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, our Rialto Investments segment generated $11.8 million of operating earnings primarily from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) loan portfolios acquired in the first quarter, fees for sub-advisory services and equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities. We expect this segment to be a growing component of our operating earnings in the future as we continue to evaluate and execute on potential opportunities.

Our balance sheet strength positions us to capitalize on future high-return investment opportunities. Although, we remain cautious about the immediate future, we believe that our core businesses are on the right track to achieving sustainable profitability and that we’ve properly positioned our company to capitalize on opportunities as they present themselves in an evolving market.

(1) Results of Operations

Overview

We historically have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Net earnings attributable to Lennar were $30.0 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010, compared to net loss attributable to Lennar of $171.6 million, or $0.97 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009. Net earnings attributable to Lennar was $63.2 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share, in the nine months ended August 31, 2010, compared to net loss attributable to Lennar of $452.7 million, or $2.72 per basic and diluted share, in the nine months ended August 31, 2009. The improvement in operating results year over year was a result of lower valuation adjustments, reduced sales incentives and cost reduction initiatives implemented during the downturn such as lowering our construction costs, repositioning our product offering to target first-time value-focused homebuyers and reducing our overhead structure. In addition, during fiscal 2010 our operating results have been positively impacted by our Rialto Investments segment, which began to generate revenues from the FDIC loan portfolios acquired in the first quarter and equity in earnings from its unconsolidated entities. Gross margin percentage on home sales improved for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010, compared to the same periods last year, primarily due to a reduction in valuation adjustments in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010, and reduced sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales. Although sales incentives offered to homebuyers were lower for the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2010, it is likely there will be at least some increase in the sales incentives offered to homebuyers in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Three Months Ended August 31, 2010 versus Three Months Ended August 31, 2009

Revenues from home sales increased 10% in the third quarter of 2010 to $697.4 million from $635.3 million in 2009. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 9% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 2,909 homes in the third quarter of 2010 from 2,660 homes last year. The average sales price of homes delivered increased to $240,000 in the third quarter of 2010 from $239,000 in the same period last year. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $30,600 per home delivered in the third quarter of 2010, or 11.3% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $42,200 per home delivered in the same period last year, or 15.0% as a percentage of home sales revenue.

Gross margins on home sales were $147.4 million, or 21.1%, in the third quarter of 2010, which included $11.3 million of valuation adjustments, compared to gross margins on home sales of $49.5 million, or 7.8%, in the third quarter of 2009, which included $49.4 million of valuation adjustments. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2010 includes third-party recoveries related to Chinese drywall, offset by valuation adjustments, which resulted in a net 80 basis points benefit to the gross margin percentage.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced by $3.6 million, or 4%, in the third quarter of 2010, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to reductions in legal and occupancy expenses. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 13.9% in the third quarter of 2010, from 15.9% in 2009.

Gross profits on land sales totaled $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to losses on land sales of $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, which included $8.7 million in write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs.

Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities was $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2010, which included a net pre-tax gain of $7.7 million as a result of a transaction by one of our unconsolidated entities, offset by $9.2 million of valuation adjustments related to assets of unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. In the third quarter of 2009, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities was ($42.3) million, which included $31.0 million of valuation adjustments related to assets of unconsolidated entities in which we have investments.

Other income (expense), net, totaled $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to other income (expense), net, of ($29.3) million in the third quarter of 2009, which included $27.5 million of valuation adjustments to our investments in unconsolidated entities.

Homebuilding interest expense was $36.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 ($18.1 million was included in cost of homes sold, $0.9 million in cost of land sold and $17.7 million in other interest expense), compared to $40.7 million in the third quarter of 2009 ($17.8 million was included in cost of homes sold, $0.5 million in cost of land sold and $22.4 million in other interest expense). Despite an increase in debt, interest expense decreased primarily due to an increase in qualifying assets eligible for interest capitalization and savings resulting from the termination of our senior unsecured revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2010.

Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were $8.8 million and ($2.8) million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009.

Sales of land, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, other income (expense), net and net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests may vary significantly from period to period depending on the timing of land sales and other transactions entered into by the Company and unconsolidated entities in which it has investments.

Operating earnings for the Lennar Financial Services segment was $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to operating earnings of $11.2 million in the same period last year. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to lower profits per loan in the segment’s mortgage operations.

In the third quarter of 2010, operating earnings for the Rialto Investments segment were $18.5 million (which included $10.8 million of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared to an operating loss of $0.5 million in the same period last year. In the third quarter of 2010, revenues in this segment were $38.0 million, which consisted primarily of accretable interest income associated with the portfolio of real estate loans acquired in partnership with the FDIC. In the third quarter of 2010, expenses in this segment were $26.2 million, which consisted primarily of carrying costs related to that portfolio of real estate loans, underwriting expenses and general and administrative expenses. The segment also had equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities of $6.6 million during the third quarter of 2010, consisting primarily of unrealized gains and interest income related to the Company’s investment in the AllianceBernstein L.P. (“AB”) fund formed under the Federal government’s Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”).

Corporate general and administrative expenses were reduced by $3.6 million, or 13%, in the third quarter of 2010, compared to the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to our cost reduction initiatives implemented during the downturn. Corporate general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 2.9% in the third quarter of 2010, from 3.8% in the third quarter of 2009.

During the three months ended August 31, 2010, we recorded a reversal to our deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $12.0 million due to the net earnings generated during the period.

Our overall effective income tax rates were 1.98% and (1.62%), respectively, for the three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009. The change in the effective tax rate, compared to the same period during 2009, resulted primarily from tax-related interest expense under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes.

Nine Months Ended August 31, 2010 versus Nine Months Ended August 31, 2009

Revenues from home sales decreased 2% in the nine months ended August 31, 2010 to $1,905.5 million from $1,946.6 million in 2009. Revenues were lower primarily due to a 2% decrease in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, decreased to 7,799 homes in the nine months ended August 31, 2010 from 7,934 homes last year. The average sales price of homes delivered for both the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 was $245,000. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of home sales revenue were $32,500 per home delivered in the nine months ended August 31, 2010, or 11.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $48,600 per home delivered in the same period last year, or 16.5% as a percentage of home sales revenue.

Gross margins on home sales were $389.2 million, or 20.4%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2010, which included $22.4 million of valuation adjustments, compared to gross margins on home sales of $159.8 million, or 8.2%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2009, which included $124.7 million of valuation adjustments. Gross margin percentage on home sales improved compared to last year primarily due to a reduction in valuation adjustments and reduced sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced by $39.6 million, or 13%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2010, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to reductions in legal and occupancy expenses. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 14.4% in the nine months ended August 31, 2010, from 16.2% in 2009.

Gross profits on land sales totaled $7.6 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2010, compared to losses on land sales of $17.6 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2009, which included $6.5 million of valuation adjustments and $20.8 million in write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs.

Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities was ($9.3) million in the nine months ended August 31, 2010, which included $10.5 million of valuation adjustments related to assets of unconsolidated entities in which we have investments, partially offset by a net pre-tax gain of $7.7 million as a result of a transaction by one of our unconsolidated entities. In the nine months ended August 31, 2009, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities was ($105.1) million, which included $81.0 million of valuation adjustments related to assets of unconsolidated entities in which we have investments.

Other income (expense), net, totaled $14.3 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2010, which included a $19.4 million pre-tax gain on the extinguishment of other debt and other income, partially offset by a $11.7 million pre-tax loss related to the repurchase of senior notes. Other income (expense), net, totaled ($73.1) million in the nine months ended August 31, 2009, which included $71.7 million of valuation adjustments to our investments in unconsolidated entities.

Homebuilding interest expense was $107.0 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2010 ($51.8 million was included in cost of homes sold, $1.4 million in cost of land sold and $53.8 million in other interest expense), compared to $99.5 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2009 ($45.5 million was included in cost of homes sold, $5.0 million in cost of land sold and $49.0 million in other interest expense). Interest expense increased primarily due to the interest related to the $400 million 12.25% senior notes due 2017 issued during the second quarter of 2009, partially offset by savings resulting from the termination of the our senior unsecured revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2010.

Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were $14.7 million and ($11.0) million, respectively, in the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009.

Operating earnings for the Lennar Financial Services segment were $19.6 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2010, compared to operating earnings of $28.2 million in the same period last year. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to decreased volume in the segment’s mortgage and title operations, partially offset by $5.1 million of proceeds received from the previous sale of a cable system.

In the nine months ended August 31, 2010, operating earnings for the Rialto Investments segment were $32.2 million (which included $20.4 million of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared to an operating loss of $1.5 million in the same period last year. In the nine months ended August 31, 2010, revenues in this segment were $72.9 million, which consisted primarily of accretable interest income associated with the portfolio of real estate loans acquired in partnership with the FDIC. In the nine months ended August 31, 2010, expenses in this segment were $47.1 million, which consisted primarily of carrying costs related to that portfolio of real estate loans, underwriting expenses and general and administrative expenses. The segment also had equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities of $6.4 million during the nine months ended August 31, 2010, consisting primarily of unrealized gains and interest income related to the Company’s investment in the AB PPIP fund.

Corporate general and administrative expenses were reduced by $15.9 million, or 19%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2010, compared to the same period last year primarily due to our cost reduction initiatives implemented during the downturn. As a percentage of total revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to 3.1% in the nine months ended August 31, 2010, from 3.8% in the same period last year.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, we recorded a reversal to our deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $7.2 million primarily due to the net earnings generated during the period.

Our overall effective income tax rates were (53.35%) and (1.37%), respectively, for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009. The change in the effective tax rate, compared to the same period in 2009, resulted primarily from the reversal of gross unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the withdrawal of an issue by the IRS and settlement with state taxing authorities.

Homebuilding Segments

We have grouped our homebuilding activities into four reportable segments, which we refer to as Homebuilding East, Homebuilding Central, Homebuilding West and Homebuilding Houston, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. Information about homebuilding activities in states that do not have economic characteristics that are similar to those in other states in the same geographic area is grouped under “Homebuilding Other.” References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to homebuilding segments are to those reportable segments.

At August 31, 2010, our reportable homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other consisted of homebuilding divisions located in:

East: Florida, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia

Central: Arizona, Colorado and Texas ⁽¹⁾

West: California and Nevada

Houston: Houston, Texas

Other: Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, North Carolina and South Carolina

(1)	Texas in the Central reportable segment excludes Houston, Texas, which is its own reportable segment.

The following tables set forth selected financial and operational information related to our homebuilding operations for the periods indicated:

Of the total homes in backlog listed above, 8 homes with a backlog dollar value of $5.8 million and an average sales price of $721,000 represent the backlog from unconsolidated entities at August 31, 2010, compared with backlog from unconsolidated entities of 7 homes with a backlog dollar value of $5.8 million and an average sales price of $829,000 at August 31, 2009.

Backlog represents the number of homes under sales contracts. Homes are sold using sales contracts, which are generally accompanied by sales deposits. In some instances, purchasers are permitted to cancel sales contracts if they fail to qualify for financing or under certain other circumstances. We experienced cancellation rates in our homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other as follows:

Three Months Ended August 31, 2010 versus Three Months Ended August 31, 2009

Homebuilding East: Homebuilding revenues increased for the three months ended August 31, 2010, compared to the three months ended August 31, 2009, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in Florida, Maryland and Virginia. Gross margins on home sales were $78.5 million, or 30.9%, for the three months ended August 31, 2010, compared to gross margins on home sales of ($10.5) million, or (5.5)%, for the three months ended August 31, 2009, including $38.7 million of valuation adjustments. Gross margin percentage on home sales improved compared to last year primarily due to a reduction of valuation adjustments and reduced sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenues from home sales (11.3% in 2010, compared to 18.7% in 2009).

Gross profits on land sales were $1.1 million for the three months ended August 31, 2010, compared to losses on land sales of $5.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2009 (including $6.0 million of write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs).

Homebuilding Other: Homebuilding revenues increased for the nine months ended August 31, 2010, compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2009, primarily due to an increase in the number of home deliveries in all states in Homebuilding Other, except Illinois. Gross margins on home sales were $41.3 million, or 15.7%, for the nine months ended August 31, 2010, including $8.7 million of valuation adjustments, compared to gross margins on home sales of $21.3 million, or 9.2%, for the nine months ended August 31, 2009, including $10.6 million of valuation adjustments.

There were no land sales in Homebuilding Other for the nine months ended August 31, 2010. Losses on land sales for the nine months ended August 31, 2009 were $3.7 million (including $3.8 million of write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs).

At August 31, 2010 and 2009, we owned 84,062 homesites and 77,535 homesites, respectively, and had access to an additional 21,518 homesites and 31,227 homesites, respectively, through either option contracts with third parties or agreements with unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. At November 30, 2009, we owned 82,703 homesites and had access to an additional 21,173 homesites through either option contracts with third parties or agreements with unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. At August 31, 2010, 2% of the homesites we owned were subject to home purchase contracts. At August 31, 2010 and 2009, our backlog of sales contracts was 2,173 homes ($569.3 million) and 2,475 homes ($646.9 million), respectively. The decrease in backlog was primarily attributable to lower new orders than new home deliveries over the last 12 months.

Rialto Investments Segment

Our Rialto Investments (“Rialto”) segment is a new reportable segment that met the reportable segment criteria set forth in GAAP beginning in the first quarter of 2010. All prior year segment information has been restated to conform with the 2010 presentation. The change had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, except for certain reclassifications. Rialto’s objective is to generate superior, risk-adjusted returns by focusing on commercial and residential real estate opportunities arising from dislocations in the United States real estate markets and the eventual restructure and recapitalization of those markets. Rialto intends to deliver these returns through its abilities to source, underwrite, price, manage, turnaround and ultimately monetize real estate assets, as well as providing similar services to others in markets across the country.

The following table presents the results of operations of our Rialto segment for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended August 31,				Nine Months Ended August 31,
(In thousands)	2010		2009		2010	2009
Revenues	$	38,000	—		72,918	—
Costs and expenses		26,156	496		47,073	1,517
Rialto Investments equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities		6,643	—		6,350	—

Operating earnings (loss) (1)	$	18,487	(496	)	32,195	(1,517	)

(1)	Operating earnings (loss) for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 included $10.8 million and $20.4 million, respectively, of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests.

In February 2010, the Rialto segment acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies (“LLCs”), in partnership with the FDIC, for approximately $243 million (net of transactions costs and a $22 million working capital reserve). The LLCs hold performing and non-performing loans formerly owned by 22 failed financial institutions. The two portfolios consist of more than 5,500 distressed residential and commercial real estate loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximate $3 billion and had an initial fair value of approximately $1.2 billion. The FDIC retained a 60% equity interest in the LLCs and provided $626.9 million of notes with 0% interest, which are non-recourse to us. In accordance with GAAP, interest has not been imputed because the notes are with, and guaranteed by, a governmental agency. The notes are secured by the loans held by the LLCs.

Additionally, if the LLCs exceed expectations and meet certain internal rate of return and distribution thresholds, our equity interest in the LLCs could be reduced from 40% down to 30%, with a corresponding increase to the FDIC’s equity interest from 60% up to 70%. Although our equity interest could decrease, we believe we would most likely yield a higher return on our investment. As of August 31, 2010, the notes payable balance was $626.9 million; however, during the nine months ended August 31, 2010, $62.9 million of cash collections on loans in excess of expenses were deposited in a defeasance account, established for the repayment of the notes payable, per the agreement with the FDIC. The funds in the defeasance account will be used to retire the notes payable upon their maturity.

The LLCs met the accounting definition of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and since we were determined to be the primary beneficiary, we consolidated the LLCs. We determined that we were the primary beneficiary because we have the power to direct the activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact the LLCs’ economic performance through our management and servicer contracts. At August 31, 2010, these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of $1.3 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively.

In addition to the acquisition and management of the FDIC portfolios, an affiliate in the Rialto segment is a sub-advisor to the AB PPIP fund and receives management fees for sub-advisory services. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010, we invested $7.5 million and $63.8 million, respectively, in the AB PPIP fund. As of August 31, 2010, our investment in the AB PPIP fund was $71.2 million.

We have grouped these investments in our Rialto segment, along with our $7.5 million, or approximately 5%, investment in a service and infrastructure provider to the residential home loan market (the “Service Provider”), which provides services to the LLCs.

Subsequent Events

On September 30, 2010, we completed the acquisitions of approximately $740 million of distressed real estate assets, in separate transactions, from three large financial institutions. The combined portfolio includes 397 loans with a total unpaid principal balance of approximately $529 million and 306 REO properties with an appraised value of approximately $211 million. The distressed real estate assets were acquired at a discount. We paid $310 million for the distressed real estate assets of which, $125 million was a 5-year senior unsecured note provided by one of the selling financial institutions.

The loans consist primarily of non-performing residential and commercial acquisition development and construction loans. The largest concentration of collateral for these loans is finished/partially-finished homesites, undeveloped land and completed/partially-completed homes. The real estate properties consist of land, homesites and single-family and multi-family residential communities at varying stages of completion. The collateral type for the real estate properties is primarily finished/partially-finished homesites and undeveloped land, and to a lesser extent, completed/partially-completed homes. In the combined portfolio, 65% of the assets are residential and 35% are commercial. The acquired assets are located in 17 states, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions of the United States with the largest concentration of assets in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.

(2) Financial Condition and Capital Resources

At August 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents related to our homebuilding, financial services and Rialto operations of $1.0 billion, compared to $1.5 billion at August 31, 2009.

We finance our land acquisition and development activities, construction activities, financial services activities, Rialto activities and general operating needs primarily with cash generated from our operations, debt issuances and equity offerings, as well as cash borrowed under warehouse lines of credit.

Operating Cash Flow Activities

In the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, cash provided by operating activities amounted to $189.1 million and $386.9 million, respectively. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, cash provided by operating activities was positively impacted by the receipt of a tax refund of $323.7 million generated primarily from losses incurred prior to fiscal 2010 and our net earnings. This was partially offset by an increase in inventories of $230.3 million, primarily due to a higher level of land purchases in strategic markets during the nine months ended August 31, 2010.

Investing Cash Flow Activities

During the nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, cash used in investing activities totaled $557.2 million and $234.6 million, respectively. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, our Rialto segment contributed $243 million of cash (net of $22 million working capital reserve) to acquire indirectly 40% managing member interests in two LLCs in partnership with the FDIC. Upon the consolidation of the LLCs that hold the two portfolios of real estate loans acquired in the FDIC transaction, the Company consolidated $93.3 million of cash, resulting in net contributions to consolidated entities by the Rialto segment of $171.8 million during the nine months ended August 31, 2010. The Rialto segment also contributed $64.3 million of cash to unconsolidated entities related primarily to the AB PPIP fund. During

the nine months ended August 31, 2010, we also contributed $162.3 million of cash to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, primarily to retire and extend debt of the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities thereby decreasing leverage at the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities. Specifically, we contributed $62.2 million to one Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity of which $50.3 million was a loan paydown, representing both our and our partner’s share, in return for a 4-year loan extension and the rights to obtain preferred returns and priority distributions at that unconsolidated entity. We also made a $19.3 million payment to extinguish debt at a discount and buyout the partner of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity resulting in a net pre-tax gain of $7.7 million. This is compared to $268.4 million of contributions to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities during the nine months ended August 31, 2009. In addition, there was an increase in cash used in investing activities related to an increase of $122.0 million in restricted cash used to collateralize letters of credit.

We are always looking at the possibility of acquiring homebuilders and other companies. However, at August 31, 2010, we had no agreements or understandings regarding any significant transactions.

Financing Cash Flow Activities

During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, our cash used in financing activities was primarily attributed to the redemption of senior notes and principal payments on other borrowings, offset primarily by the issuance of new debt.

Debt to total capital ratios are financial measures commonly used in the homebuilding industry and are presented to assist in understanding the leverage of our Lennar Homebuilding operations. Management believes providing a measure of leverage of our Lennar Homebuilding operations enables management and readers of our financial statements to better understand our financial position and performance. Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital and net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital are calculated as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)	August 31, 2010			November 30, 2009		August 31, 2009
Lennar Homebuilding debt	$	2,843,229		2,761,352		2,665,796
Stockholders’ equity		2,501,763		2,443,479		2,405,960

Total capital	$	5,344,992		5,204,831		5,071,756

Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital		53.2	%	53.1	%	52.6	%

Lennar Homebuilding debt	$	2,843,229		2,761,352		2,665,796
Less: Lennar Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents		865,657		1,330,603		1,336,739

Net Lennar Homebuilding debt	$	1,977,572		1,430,749		1,329,057

Net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital (1)		44.1	%	36.9	%	35.6	%

(1)	Net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital consists of net Lennar Homebuilding debt (Lennar Homebuilding debt less Lennar Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net Lennar Homebuilding debt plus stockholders’ equity).

At August 31, 2010, net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital was higher compared to November 30, 2009 and August 31, 2009, due to the increase in Lennar Homebuilding debt as a result of an increase in senior notes and a decrease in Lennar Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents.

Our Lennar Homebuilding average debt outstanding was $2.8 billion for the nine months ended August 31, 2010, compared to $2.6 billion in the same period last year. The average rate for interest incurred was 6.2% for the nine months ended August 31, 2010, compared to 6.1% for the nine months ended August 31, 2009. Interest incurred related to Lennar Homebuilding debt for the nine months ended August 31, 2010 was $136.1 million, compared to $123.0 million in the same period last year. The majority of our short-term financing needs, including financings for land acquisition and development activities and general operating needs, are met with cash generated from operations and debt issuances.

In February 2010, we terminated our $1.1 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). We had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility as it was only being used to issue letters of credit. We entered into cash-collateralized letter of credit agreements with two banks with a capacity totaling $225 million. As of August 31, 2010, we had $120.8 million of cash-collateralized letters of credit. We expected the cash-collateralized letters of credit to be a lower cost option compared to our Credit Facility and we have saved $4.0 million through August 31, 2010.

Our performance letters of credit outstanding were $74.9 million and $97.7 million, respectively, at August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009. Our financial letters of credit outstanding were $195.9 million and $205.4 million, respectively, at August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009. Performance letters of credit are generally posted with regulatory bodies to guarantee our performance of certain development and construction activities, and financial letters of credit are generally posted in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts and for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral.

In May 2010, we issued $250 million of 6.95% senior notes due 2018 (the “6.95% Senior Notes”) at a price of 98.929% in a private placement. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of initial purchaser’s discount and expenses, were $243.9 million. We used the net proceeds of the sale of the 6.95% Senior Notes to fund purchases pursuant to our tender offer for our 5.125% senior notes due October 2010, our 5.95% senior notes due 2011 and our 5.95% senior notes due 2013. Interest on the 6.95% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning December 1, 2010. The 6.95% Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, and may at some time be guaranteed by some or substantially all of our subsidiaries. Subsequently, most of the privately placed 6.95% Senior Notes were exchanged for substantially identical 6.95% senior notes that had been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. At August 31, 2010, the carrying amount of the 6.95% Senior Notes was $247.3 million.

In May 2010, we issued $276.5 million of 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 (the “2.00% Convertible Senior Notes”) at a price of 100% in a private placement. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, were $271.2 million. The net proceeds are being used for general corporate purposes, including repayments or repurchases of existing senior notes or other indebtedness. The 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at the initial conversion rate of 36.1827 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $27.64 per share of Class A common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. Holders of the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase them for cash equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest, on each of December 1, 2013 and December 1, 2015. We will have the right to redeem the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes at any time on or after December 1, 2013 for 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest. Interest on the 2.00% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning December 1, 2010. Beginning with the nine-month interest period commencing December 1, 2013, under certain circumstances based on the average trading price of the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes, we may be required to pay contingent interest. The 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, and may at some time be guaranteed by some or substantially all of our subsidiaries. At August 31, 2010, the carrying amount of the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes was $276.5 million.

In May 2010, we repurchased $289.4 million aggregate principal amount, or 38%, of our senior notes due 2010, 2011 and 2013 through a tender offer that ran from April 27, 2010 through May 25, 2010, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $10.8 million. Through the tender offer, we repurchased $76.4 million principal amount of our 5.125% senior notes due October 2010, $130.8 million principal amount of our 5.95% senior notes due 2011 and $82.3 million of our 5.95% senior notes due 2013.

In addition to the tender offer, during the nine months ended August 31, 2010, we repurchased $74.4 million principal amount of our 5.125% senior notes due October 2010 and $1.0 million principal amount of our 5.95% senior notes due 2011, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $0.9 million. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, we also retired $151.0 million of mortgage notes on land and other debt, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $19.4 million.

In October 2010, we retired the remaining $99.2 million of our 5.125% senior notes due October 2010 for 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the maturity date.

At August 31, 2010, our Lennar Financial Services segment had a warehouse repurchase facility that matures in April 2011 with a maximum aggregate commitment of $100 million and an additional uncommitted amount of $100 million. In addition, our Lennar Financial Services segment amended its warehouse repurchase facility that matured in July 2010 by extending its maturity to July 2011 and increasing the maximum aggregate commitment from $125 million to $175 million to replace the $100 million warehouse repurchase facility that matured in August 2010. However, for the outstanding borrowings of $51.7 million under the facility that matured in August 2010, the maturity was extended through October 2010. At August 31, 2010, the maximum aggregate commitment under these facilities totaled $275 million.

Our Lennar Financial Services segment uses these facilities to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to investors and expects the facilities to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. Borrowings under the facilities were $203.1 million (which includes the $51.7 million of borrowings discussed above) and $217.5 million, respectively, at August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $214.2 million and $266.9 million, respectively, at August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009.

Since our Lennar Financial Services segment’s borrowings under the warehouse repurchase facilities are generally repaid with the proceeds from the sales of mortgage loans and receivables on loans that secure those borrowings, the facilities are not likely to be a call on our current or future cash resources. If the facilities are not renewed, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be paid off by selling the mortgage loans held-for-sale to investors and by collecting on receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid. Without the facilities, our Lennar Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.

Changes in Capital

We have a stock repurchase program which permits the purchase of up to 20 million shares of our outstanding common stock. During both 2009 and 2010 there were no share repurchases under the stock repurchase program. As of August 31, 2010, 6.2 million shares of common stock can be repurchased in the future under the program.

During the three months ended August 31, 2010, treasury stock increased by an immaterial amount of common shares. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, treasury stock increased by 0.1 million common shares, in connection with activity related to our equity compensation plan and forfeitures of restricted stock.

On August 5, 2010, we paid cash dividends of $0.04 per share for both our Class A and Class B common stock to holders of record at the close of business on July 21, 2010, as declared by our Board of Directors on June 23, 2010. On September 30, 2010, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share on both our Class A and Class B common stock payable on October 28, 2010 to holders of record at the close of business on October 14, 2010.

Based on our current financial condition and credit relationships, we believe that our operations and borrowing resources will provide for our current and long-term capital requirements at our anticipated levels of activity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Lennar Homebuilding—Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

At August 31, 2010, we had equity investments in 48 unconsolidated entities (of which 15 had recourse debt, 12 had non-recourse debt and 21 had no debt), compared to 53 and 61 unconsolidated entities at May 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009, respectively. Historically, we invested in unconsolidated entities that acquired and developed land (1) for our homebuilding operations or for sale to third parties or (2) for the construction of homes for sale to third-party homebuyers. Through these entities, we primarily sought to reduce and share our risk by limiting the amount of our capital invested in land, while obtaining access to potential future homesites and allowing us to participate in strategic ventures. The use of these entities also, in some instances, enabled us to acquire land to which we could not otherwise obtain access, or could not obtain access on as favorable terms, without the participation of a strategic partner. Participants in these joint ventures are land owners/developers, other homebuilders and financial or strategic partners. Joint ventures with land owners/developers give us access to homesites owned or controlled by our partner. Joint ventures with other homebuilders provide us with the ability to bid jointly with our partner for large land parcels. Joint ventures with financial partners allow us to combine our homebuilding expertise with access to our partners’ capital. Joint ventures with strategic partners allow us to combine our homebuilding expertise with the specific expertise (e.g., commercial or infill experience) of our partner. Each joint venture is governed by an executive committee consisting of members from the partners.

Summarized condensed financial information on a combined 100% basis related to Lennar Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows:

The net loss of unconsolidated entities for both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 was primarily related to valuation adjustments recorded by the unconsolidated entities. Our exposure to such losses was significantly lower as a result of our small ownership interest in the respective unconsolidated entities or our previous valuation adjustments to our investments in unconsolidated entities. In addition, we recorded a net pre-tax gain of $7.7 million from a transaction related to one of our unconsolidated entities for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010.

In fiscal 2007, we sold a portfolio of land to a strategic land investment venture with Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund II, L.P., an affiliate of Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., in which we have a 20% ownership interest and 50% voting rights. Due to our continuing involvement, the transaction did not qualify as a sale by us under GAAP; thus, the inventory has remained on our consolidated balance sheet in consolidated inventory not owned. As of August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009, the portfolio of land (including land development costs) of $422.8 million and $477.9 million, respectively, is reflected as inventory in the summarized condensed financial information related to Lennar Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, we reduced our maximum recourse exposure related to indebtedness of our Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities by $107.5 million, of which $80.5 million was paid by us primarily through capital contributions to unconsolidated entities and $27.0 million related to a reduction in the number of joint ventures in which we have investments, the reduction of joint and several recourse debt and the joint ventures selling inventory.

As of November 30, 2009, our obligation guarantees, recorded as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was $14.1 million. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, the liability was reduced by a net $3.4 million. The liability was reduced by $11.0 million as a result of the debt extinguishment related to one of our unconsolidated entities and by $1.6 million due to cash paid related to an obligation guarantee previously recorded. This was partially offset by an accrual of $9.2 million established by us to cover claims arising under obligation guarantees. As of August 31, 2010, we had $10.7 million of obligation guarantees recorded as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The obligation guarantees are estimated based on current facts and circumstances and any unexpected changes may lead us to incur additional liabilities under our obligation guarantees in the future.

Indebtedness of an unconsolidated entity is secured by its own assets. Some unconsolidated entities own multiple properties and other assets. There is no cross collateralization of debt to different unconsolidated entities. We also do not use our investment in one unconsolidated entity as collateral for the debt in another unconsolidated entity or commingle funds among our unconsolidated entities.

In connection with a loan to an unconsolidated entity, we and our partners often guarantee to a lender either jointly and severally or on a several basis, any, or all of the following: (i) the completion of the development, in whole or in part, (ii) indemnification of the lender from environmental issues, (iii) indemnification of the lender from “bad boy acts” of the unconsolidated entity (or full recourse liability in the event of unauthorized transfer or bankruptcy) and (iv) that the loan to value and/or loan to cost will not exceed a certain percentage (maintenance or remargining guarantee) or that a percentage of the outstanding loan will be repaid (repayment guarantee).

In connection with loans to an unconsolidated entity where there is a joint and several guarantee, we generally have a reimbursement agreement with our partner. The reimbursement agreement provides that neither party is responsible for more than its proportionate share of the guarantee. However, if our joint venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share, up to our maximum exposure, which is the full amount covered by the joint and several guarantee.

The recourse debt exposure in the previous table represents our maximum exposure to loss from guarantees and does not take into account the underlying value of the collateral or the other assets of the borrowers that are available to repay the debt or to reimburse us for any payments on our guarantees. Our Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities that have recourse debt have a significant amount of assets and equity. The summarized balance sheets of our Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities with recourse debt were as follows:


(In thousands)	August 31, 2010		November 30, 2009
Assets	$	1,026,194	1,324,993
Liabilities		504,261	777,836
Equity		521,933	547,157

In addition, in most instances in which we have guaranteed debt of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, our partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their share of the guarantee payment. Some of our guarantees are repayment guarantees and some are maintenance guarantees. In a repayment guarantee, we and our venture partners guarantee repayment of a portion or all of the debt in the event of a default before the lender would have to exercise its rights against the collateral. In the event of default, if our venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligations under the reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share, up to our maximum recourse exposure, which is the full amount covered by the

joint and several guarantee. The maintenance guarantees only apply if the value of the collateral (generally land and improvements) is less than a specified percentage of the loan balance. If we are required to make a payment under a maintenance guarantee to bring the value of the collateral above the specified percentage of the loan balance, the payment would generally constitute a capital contribution or loan to the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and increase our share of any funds the unconsolidated entity distributes.

In connection with many of the loans to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, we and our joint venture partners (or entities related to them) have been required to give guarantees of completion to the lenders. Those completion guarantees may require that the guarantors complete the construction of the improvements for which the financing was obtained. If the construction is to be done in phases, the guarantee generally is limited to completing only the phases as to which construction has already commenced and for which loan proceeds were used.

During the three months ended August 31, 2010, there were: (1) payments of $3.0 million under our maintenance guarantees, (2) at our election, a loan paydown of $50.3 million, representing both our and our partner’s share, in return for a 4-year loan extension and the rights to obtain preferred returns and priority distributions at one of our unconsolidated entities, and (3) a $19.3 million payment to extinguish debt at a discount and buyout the partner of one of our unconsolidated entities resulting in a net pre-tax gain of $7.7 million. In addition, during the three months ended August 31, 2010, there were other loan paydowns of $0.9 million. During the three months ended August 31, 2009, there were no payments under maintenance guarantees and there were other loan repayments of $21.9 million, a portion of which related to amounts paid under our repayment guarantees. During the three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no payments under completion guarantees.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, there were: (1) payments of $8.0 million under our maintenance guarantees, (2) at our election, a loan paydown of $50.3 million, representing both our and our partner’s share, in return for a 4-year loan extension and the rights to obtain preferred returns and priority distributions at one of our unconsolidated entities, and (3) a $19.3 million payment to extinguish debt at a discount and buyout the partner of one of our unconsolidated entities resulting in a net pre-tax gain of $7.7 million. In addition, during the nine months ended August 31, 2010, there were other loan paydowns of $27.9 million, a portion of which related to amounts paid under our repayment guarantees. During the nine months ended August 31, 2009, there were payments of $18.0 million under our maintenance guarantees and there were other loan repayments of $60.4 million, a portion of which related to amounts paid under our repayment guarantees. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, there were no payments under completion guarantees. During the nine months ended August 31, 2009, there was a payment of $5.6 million under a completion guarantee related to one joint venture.

Payments made to, or on behalf of, our unconsolidated entities, including payments under guarantees, are recorded primarily as capital contributions to our Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.

As of August 31, 2010, the fair values of the maintenance guarantees, completion guarantees and repayment guarantees were not material. We believe that as of August 31, 2010, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event under a guarantee, most of the time the collateral should be sufficient to repay at least a significant portion of the obligation or we and our partners would contribute additional capital into the venture.

The total debt of Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which we have investments was as follows:


	August 31, 2010			November 30, 2009
(Dollars in thousands)
Lennar’s net recourse exposure	$	119,409		194,555

In view of current credit market conditions, it is not uncommon for lenders to real estate developers, including joint ventures in which we have interests, to assert non-monetary defaults (such as failure to meet construction completion deadlines or declines in the market value of collateral below required amounts) or technical monetary defaults against the real estate developers. In most instances, those asserted defaults are resolved by modifications of the loan terms, additional equity investments or other concessions by the borrowers. In addition, in some instances, real estate developers, including joint ventures in which we have interests, are forced to request temporary waivers of covenants in loan documents or modifications of loan terms, which are often, but not always obtained. However, in some instances, developers, including joint ventures in which we have interests, are not able to meet their monetary obligations to lenders, and are thus declared in default. Because we sometimes guarantee all or portions of the obligations to lenders of joint ventures in which we have interests, when these joint ventures default on their obligations, lenders may or may not have claims against us. Normally, we do not make payments with regard to guarantees of joint venture obligations while the joint ventures are contesting assertions regarding sums due to their lenders. When it is determined that a joint venture is obligated to make a payment that we have guaranteed and the joint venture will not be able to make that payment, we accrue the amounts probable to be paid by us as a liability. Although we generally fulfill our guarantee obligations within a reasonable time after we determine that we are obligated with regard to them, at any point in time it is likely that we will have some balance of unpaid guarantee liability. At August 31, 2010, the liability for unpaid guarantees of joint venture indebtedness on our consolidated balance sheet totaled $10.7 million.

The following table summarizes the principal maturities of our Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities (“JVs”) debt as per current debt arrangements as of August 31, 2010 and does not represent estimates of future cash payments that will be made to reduce JV debt balances. Many JV loans have extension options in the loan agreements that would allow the loans to be extended into future years.

In March 2009, the Legacy Securities program was announced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) under the Federal government’s PPIP. The PPIP matches private capital with public capital and financing provided by the U.S. Treasury, which provides an opportunity for private investors to invest in certain non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities issued prior to 2009 that were originally rated AAA, or an equivalent rating, by two or more nationally recognized statistical organizations without ratings enhancements. These securities are backed directly by actual mortgage loans and not by other securities.

During fiscal 2009, we committed to invest $75 million in the Federal government’s PPIP fund managed by AB. An affiliate of Rialto is a sub-advisor to the AB PPIP fund and receives management fees for sub-advisory services. Total equity commitments of approximately $1.2 billion were made by private investors in this fund, and the U.S. Treasury has committed to a matching amount of approximately $1.2 billion of equity in the fund, as well as agreeing to extend up to approximately $2.3 billion of debt financing. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2010, we invested $7.5 million and $63.8 million, respectively, in the AB PPIP fund. As of August 31, 2010, our investment in the AB PPIP fund was $71.2 million.

As of August 31, 2010, the portfolio of non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities owned by the AB PPIP fund was $4.0 billion and it is reflected in investments in the summarized condensed balance sheets of Rialto’s unconsolidated entities.

As of August 31, 2010, a subsidiary in our Rialto segment also has a $7.5 million, or approximately 5%, investment in the Service Provider, which provides services to the consolidated LLCs.

Summarized condensed financial information on a combined 100% basis related to Rialto’s investment in unconsolidated entities in which Rialto has investments that are accounted for by the equity method as of August 31, 2010 was as follows:

Option Contracts

We have access to land through option contracts, which generally enables us to control portions of properties owned by third parties (including land funds) and unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether to exercise the option.

The table below indicates the number of homesites owned and homesites to which we had access through option contracts with third parties (“optioned”) or unconsolidated joint ventures (“JVs”) (i.e., controlled homesites) at August 31, 2010 and 2009:


	Controlled Homesites
August 31, 2010	Optioned	JVs	Total	Owned Homesites	Total Homesites
East	4,924	1,674	6,598	27,981	34,579
Central	1,434	2,117	3,551	15,961	19,512
West	365	7,117	7,482	26,462	33,944
Houston	1,375	1,617	2,992	6,260	9,252
Other	821	74	895	7,398	8,293

Total homesites	8,919	12,599	21,518	84,062	105,580


	Controlled Homesites
August 31, 2009	Optioned	JVs	Total	Owned Homesites	Total Homesites
East	8,019	2,504	10,523	25,622	36,145
Central	1,370	3,761	5,131	16,168	21,299
West	29	11,212	11,241	21,410	32,651
Houston	1,051	2,115	3,166	6,588	9,754
Other	489	677	1,166	7,747	8,913

Total homesites	10,958	20,269	31,227	77,535	108,762

We evaluate all option contracts for land to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary of certain of these option contracts. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, we are required to consolidate the land under option at the purchase price of the optioned land. During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, the effect of consolidation of these option contracts was a net increase of $10.5 million to consolidated inventory not owned with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2010. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory consolidated, we reclassified the related option deposits from land under development to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2010. The liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned primarily represent the difference between the option exercise prices for the optioned land and our cash deposits. However, consolidated inventory not owned decreased due to (1) our exercise of options to acquire land under certain contracts previously consolidated and (2) the deconsolidation of certain option contracts totaling $75.5 million related to the adoption of certain new provisions under ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, (“ASC 810”), resulting in a decrease in consolidated inventory not owned of $130.2 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2010.

Our exposure to loss related to our option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of our non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling $151.9 million and $127.4 million, respectively, at August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009. Additionally, we had posted $48.8 million and $58.2 million, respectively, of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain option contracts as of August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, our contractual obligations with regards to debt related to our operations changed. In February 2010, our Rialto segment acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two LLCs in partnership with the FDIC. The LLCs are considered variable interest entities and we were determined to be the primary beneficiary and therefore we consolidated the LLCs. Under the terms of the transaction, the FDIC provided $626.9 million of notes guaranteed by the FDIC with 0% interest, which are non-recourse to us. In May 2010, we issued $250 million of 6.95% senior notes due 2018 and $276.5 million of 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2020. In May 2010, we repurchased $289.4 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2010, 2011 and 2013 through a tender offer. The following summarizes our contractual debt obligations as of August 31, 2010:


	Payments Due by Period
(In thousands)	Total		Three months ending November 30, 2010	December 1, 2010 through November 30, 2011	December 1, 2011 through November 30, 2013	December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2015	Thereafter
Lennar Homebuilding - Senior notes and other debts payable	$	2,843,229	100,256	205,758	581,952	785,774	1,169,489

(1)	Interest commitments on variable interest-bearing debt are determined based on the interest rate as of August 31, 2010.

(2)

Amount represents debt that consolidated as part of the LLC consolidation related to the FDIC transaction and is non-recourse to Lennar; however, $62.9 million of cash collections on loans in excess of expenses was deposited in a defeasance account established for the repayment of the notes payable.

(3)	Commitment to fund the AB PPIP fund.

(4)	Total contractual obligations exclude our gross unrecognized tax benefits of $46.0 million as of August 31, 2010, because we are unable to make reasonable estimates as to the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities.

We are subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts (including option contracts) for the purchase, development and sale of real estate in the routine conduct of our business. Option contracts for the purchase of land generally enable us to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties and unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether to exercise our option. This reduces our financial risk associated with land holdings. At August 31, 2010, we had access to 21,518 homesites through option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. At August 31, 2010, we had $48.8 million of letters of credit posted in lieu of cash deposits under certain option contracts.

At August 31, 2010, we had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $270.8 million (which included the $48.8 million of letters of credit discussed above). These letters of credit are generally posted either with regulatory bodies to guarantee our performance of certain development and construction activities or in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts. Additionally, at August 31, 2010, we had outstanding performance and surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects of our joint ventures) of $720.7 million. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, these bonds are generally not released until all of the development and construction activities are completed. As of August 31, 2010, there were approximately $329.0 million, or 46%, of costs to complete related to these site improvements. We do not presently anticipate any draws upon these bonds, but if any such draws occur, we do not believe they would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our Lennar Financial Services segment had a pipeline of loan applications in process of $666.7 million at August 31, 2010. Loans in process for which interest rates were committed to the borrowers and builder commitments for loan programs totaled approximately $307.4 million as of August 31, 2010. Substantially all of these commitments were for periods of 60 days or less. Since a portion of these commitments is expected to expire without being exercised by the borrowers or because borrowers may not meet certain criteria at the time of closing, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Our Lennar Financial Services segment uses mandatory mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) forward commitments, option contracts and investor commitments to hedge our mortgage-related interest rate exposure. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk associated with MBS forward commitments, option contracts and loan sales transactions is managed by limiting our counterparties to investment banks, federally regulated bank affiliates and other investors meeting our credit standards. Our risk, in the event of default by the purchaser, is the difference between the contract price and fair value of the MBS forward commitments and option contracts. At August 31, 2010, we had open commitments amounting to $364.4 million to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through November 2010.

(3) New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 17 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 of this Report for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements applicable to our Company.

(4) Critical Accounting Policies

We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended August 31, 2010, as compared to those we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2009, except for the following accounting policies that were updated as a result of the implementation of certain new provisions of ASC 810 and as a result of the operations of our new reportable segment, Rialto Investments.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

GAAP requires the consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Our variable interest in VIEs may be in the form of (1) equity ownership, (2) contracts to purchase assets, (3) management services and development agreements between us and a VIE, (4) loans provided by us to a VIE or other partner and/or (5) guarantees provided by members to banks and other third parties. We examine specific criteria and use our judgment when determining if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, level of economic disproportionality between us and the other partner(s) and contracts to purchase assets from VIEs. The determination whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary may require us to exercise significant judgment.

Generally, all major decision making in our joint ventures is shared between all partners. In particular, business plans and budgets are generally required to be unanimously approved by all partners. Usually, management and other fees earned by us are nominal and believed to be at market and there is no significant economic disproportionality between us and other partners. Generally, we purchase less than a majority of the JV’s assets and the purchase prices under our option contracts are believed to be at market.

Generally, Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities become VIEs and consolidate when the other partner(s) lack the intent and financial wherewithal to remain in the entity. As a result, we continue to fund operations and debt paydowns through partner loans or substituted capital contributions.

Rialto Investments - Loans Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality

ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, (“ASC 310-30”) applies to a loan with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, acquired by completion of a transfer for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. For loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, such as the FDIC portfolio of loans, management determined upon acquisition the value based on extensive due diligence on the loans, the underlying properties and the borrowers. We determined fair value by discounting the cash flows expected to be collected adjusted for factors that a market participant would consider when determining fair value. Factors considered in the valuation were projected cash flows for the loans, type of loan and related collateral, classification status and current discount rates. While the estimates are based on projections, all estimates are subjective and can change due to unexpected changes in economic conditions and loan performance.

Rialto Investments - Accretable Yield

Under ASC 310-30, loans were pooled together according to common risks characteristics. The excess of the cash flows expected to be collected from the loans receivable at acquisition over the initial investment for those loans receivable is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the expected life of the pools primarily using the constant effective yield method. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the nonaccretable difference. Changes in the expected cash flows of loans receivable from the date of acquisition will either impact the accretable yield or result in a charge to the provision for loan losses in the period in which the changes become probable. Prepayments are treated as a reduction of cash flows expected to be collected and a reduction of contractually required payments such that the nonaccretable difference is not affected. Subsequent significant decreases to the expected cash flows related to loan impairment will generally result in a charge to the provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses, and a reclassification from accretable yield to nonaccretable difference. Subsequent probable and significant increases in cash flows will result in a recovery of any previously recorded allowance for loan losses, to the extent applicable, and a reclassification from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield. Amounts related to the ASC 310-30 loans are estimates and may change as we obtain additional information related to the respective loans and the inherent uncertainty associated with estimating the amount and timing of the expected cash flows associated with distressed residential and commercial real estate loans. The timing and amount of expected cash flows and related accretable yield can also be impacted by disposal of loans, loan payoffs or expected foreclosures, which result in removal of the loans from the pools. While the cash flows are based on projections, they are subjective and can change due to unexpected changes in economic conditions and loan performance.

Rialto Investments - Real Estate Owned

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value at the date of taking title less estimated costs to sell. Any valuation adjustments required at the time of taking title are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After taking title, the properties are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Any subsequent valuation adjustments, operating expenses or income, and gains and losses on disposition of such properties are recognized in current operations.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our investments, debt obligations, loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment. We utilize forward commitments and option contracts to mitigate the risks associated with our mortgage loan portfolio.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, our market risks with regard to debt related to our operations changed. In February 2010, our Rialto Investments segment acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies (“LLCs”) in partnership with the FDIC. The LLCs are considered variable interest entities and we were determined to be the primary beneficiary and therefore we consolidated the LLCs. Under the terms of the transaction the FDIC provided $626.9 million of notes guaranteed by the FDIC with 0% interest, which are non-recourse to us. In May 2010, we issued $250 million of 6.95% senior notes due 2018 and $276.5 million of 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2020. In May 2010, we repurchased $289.4 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2010, 2011 and 2013 through a tender offer.

The following table provides principal cash flows and related weighted average effective interest rates by expected maturity dates and estimated fair values at August 31, 2010 for our Lennar Homebuilding senior notes and other debts payable, Lennar Financial Services notes and other debts payable and Rialto Investments notes payable. Weighted average variable interest rates are based on the variable interest rates at August 31, 2010.
