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 (see Note 16) in which Lennar Corporation is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (the "Company"). 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 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2016. 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, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

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.

Reclassifications/Revisions

As a result of the Company's change in reportable segments during fiscal year 2016, the Company restated certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform with the 2017 presentation (see Note 3). In addition, certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2017 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.


(2)	Business Acquisition

On February 10, 2017, the Company acquired WCI Communities, Inc. ("WCI") a homebuilder of luxury single and multifamily homes, including a small percentage of luxury high-rise tower units, with operations in Florida. WCI stockholders received $642.6 million in cash. The cash consideration was funded primarily from working capital and from proceeds from the issuance of 4.125% senior notes due 2022 (see Note 12).

Based on an evaluation of the provisions of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, ("ASC 805"), Lennar Corporation was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The following table summarizes the provisional purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, which are subject to change within a measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date pursuant to ASC 805. The purchase price allocation is provisional pending completion of the fair value analysis of acquired assets and liabilities assumed:



(In thousands)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and receivables, net	$	42,079
Inventories	613,495
Intangible assets (1)	59,283
Goodwill (2)	160,270
Deferred tax assets, net	84,078
Other assets	66,173
Total assets	1,025,378
Liabilities:
Accounts payable	26,735
Senior notes and other debts payable	282,793
Other liabilities	73,228
Total liabilities	382,756
Total purchase price	$	642,622


(1)	Intangible assets include non-compete agreements and a trade name. The amortization period for these intangible assets was six months for the non-compete agreements and 20 years for the trade name.

(2)

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and it is not deductible for income tax purposes. As of the merger date, goodwill consisted primarily of purchasing and other synergies resulting from the merger, expected production, savings in corporate and division overhead costs and expected expanded opportunities for growth through a higher-end more luxurious product, greater presence in the state of Florida and customer diversity. The provisional amount of goodwill allocated to the Company's Homebuilding East segment was $140.3 million and to the Lennar Financial Services segment was $20.0 million. These provisional amounts were based on the relative fair value of each acquired reporting unit in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.

For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017, Lennar Homebuilding revenues included $149.6 million and $351.9 million, respectively, of home sales revenues from WCI and earnings before income taxes included $20.0 million and $33.2 million, respectively, of pre-tax earnings from WCI since the date of acquisition, which included transaction-related expenses of $6.9 million and $25.9 million, respectively, comprised mainly of severance costs, general and administrative expenses, and amortization expense related to non-compete agreements and trade name since the date of acquisition. These transaction expenses were included primarily within Lennar Homebuilding selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017. The pro-forma effect of the acquisition on the results of operations is not presented as this acquisition was not considered material.


(3)	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) Lennar Financial Services

(5) Rialto

(6) Lennar Multifamily

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.

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 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 sold and land sold, selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment and loss due to litigation.

The Company’s reportable homebuilding segments and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately have homebuilding divisions located in:

East: Florida⁽¹⁾, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia

Central: Arizona, Colorado and Texas

West: California and Nevada

Other: Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington


⁽¹⁾	Florida includes information related to WCI from the date of acquisition (February 10, 2017) to August 31, 2017.

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. It also includes a real estate brokerage business acquired as part of the WCI transaction. The Lennar Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the loans it originates within a short period in the secondary mortgage market, the majority of which are sold on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, the Company retains potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that it breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. Lennar Financial Services’ operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from mortgage financing, title insurance, closing services and real estate brokerage, less the cost of such services and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment. The Lennar Financial Services segment operates generally in the same states as the Company’s homebuilding operations as well as in other states.

Operations of the Rialto segment include raising, investing and managing third-party capital, originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans as well as investing its own capital in real estate related mortgage loans, properties and related securities. Rialto utilizes its vertically-integrated investment and operating platform to underwrite, diligence, acquire, manage, workout and add value to diverse portfolios of real estate loans, properties and real estate related securities as well as providing strategic real estate capital. Rialto’s operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from gains from securitization transactions and interest income from the Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") business, interest income associated with portfolios of real estate loans acquired and other portfolios of real estate loans and assets acquired, asset management, due diligence and underwriting fees derived from the real estate investment funds managed by the Rialto segment, fees for sub-advisory services, other expense, net and equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities, less the costs incurred by the segment for managing portfolios, costs related to RMF and other general and administrative expenses.

Operations of the Lennar Multifamily segment include revenues generated from the sales of land, revenue from construction activities and management fees generated from joint ventures and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the cost of sales of land, expenses related to construction activities and general and administrative expenses.

Each reportable segment follows the same accounting policies described in Note 1 – "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2016. 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.

(4)	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:

For both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017, one of the Company’s unconsolidated entities had equity in earnings of $18.8 million relating to an equity method investee selling 475 homesites to a third-party land bank. Simultaneous with the purchase by the land bank, the Company entered into an option contract to purchase all 475 homesites from the land bank. Due to the Company’s continuing involvement with respect to the homesites sold from the investee entity, the Company deferred all of its equity in earnings from the unconsolidated entity relating to the sale transaction, which amounted to $7.8 million.

For the three months ended August 31, 2017, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to the Company's share of net operating losses from unconsolidated entities and its deferral of equity in earnings from the land sale transaction discussed above. The net earnings of unconsolidated entities were primarily driven by the unconsolidated entity’s equity in earnings relating to the land sale offset by general and administrative expenses during the three months ended August 31, 2017.

For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to the Company’s share of net operating losses from its unconsolidated entities and its deferral of equity in earnings from the land sale transaction discussed above. The net loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily driven by general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the unconsolidated entity’s equity in earnings from the land sale discussed above.

For both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to the Company's share of costs associated with the FivePoint combination and the Company’s share of net operating losses associated with the new FivePoint unconsolidated entity. For the nine months ended August 31, 2016, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was partially offset by equity in earnings from one of the Company's unconsolidated entities primarily due to sales of homesites to third parties.

(1)	Debt presented above is net of debt issuance costs of $5.4 million and $4.2 million, as of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively.

On May 2, 2016 (the "Closing Date"), the Company contributed, or obtained the right to contribute, its investment in three strategic joint ventures previously managed by FivePoint Communities in exchange for an investment in a FivePoint

entity. The fair values of the assets contributed to this FivePoint entity are included within the unconsolidated entities summarized condensed balance sheet presented above. A portion of the assets of one of the three strategic joint ventures transferred to a new unconsolidated entity was retained by Lennar and its venture partner. The transactions did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2016. For the year ended November 30, 2016, the Company recorded $42.6 million of its share of combination costs and operational net losses in equity in loss from unconsolidated entities on the consolidated statement of operations.

In May 2017, FivePoint completed its initial public offering ("IPO"). Concurrent with the IPO, the Company invested $100 million in FivePoint. As of August 31, 2017, the Company owns approximately 40% of FivePoint and the carrying amount of the Company's investment is $361.1 million.

As of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the Company’s recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $1.0 billion and $811.7 million, respectively, while the underlying equity in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016 was $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. The basis difference is primarily as a result of the Company contributing its investment in three strategic joint ventures with a higher fair value than book value for an investment in the FivePoint entity and deferring equity in earnings on land sales to the Company.

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 total debt of the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments, including Lennar's maximum recourse exposure, were as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	August 31, 2017			November 30, 2016
Non-recourse bank debt and other debt (partner’s share of several recourse)	$	68,302		48,945
Non-recourse land seller debt and other debt (1)	1,997			323,995
Non-recourse debt with completion guarantees	275,959			147,100
Non-recourse debt without completion guarantees	342,987			320,372
Non-recourse debt to the Company	689,245			840,412
The Company’s maximum recourse exposure (2)	70,929			52,438

Total debt	$	754,749		888,664
The Company’s maximum recourse exposure as a % of total JV debt	9		%	6	%


(1)	Non-recourse land seller debt and other debt as of November 30, 2016 included a $320 million non-recourse note related to a transaction between one of the Company's unconsolidated entities and another unconsolidated joint venture, which was settled in December 2016.


(2)	As of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the Company's maximum recourse exposure was primarily related to the Company providing repayment guarantees on three unconsolidated entities' debt and one unconsolidated entity's debt, respectively.

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 payments. In a repayment guarantee, the Company and its venture partners guarantee repayment of a portion or all of the debt in the event of default before the lender would have to exercise its rights against the collateral.

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.

If the Company is required to make a payment under any guarantee, the payment would constitute a capital contribution or loan to the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and increase the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated entity and its share of any funds the unconsolidated entity distributes.

As of both August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the fair values of the repayment guarantees and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of August 31, 2017, 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, the collateral would 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 with regard to obligations of its joint ventures (see Note 12).


(5)	Stockholders' Equity

The following table reflects the changes in equity attributable to both Lennar Corporation and the noncontrolling interests of its consolidated subsidiaries in which it has less than a 100% ownership interest for both the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016:

(6)	Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes and effective tax rate were as follows:

For the three months ended August 31, 2017, the effective tax rate included tax benefits for the domestic production activities deduction, and energy tax credits, offset primarily by state income tax expense and a valuation allowance recorded against state net operating losses the Company expects to expire unutilized. For the nine months ended August 31, 2017, the effective tax rate included tax benefits for (1) settlements with the IRS, (2) the domestic production activities deduction, and (3) energy tax credits, offset primarily by state income tax expense, and a valuation allowance recorded against state net operating losses the Company expects to expire unutilized. For the three months ended August 31, 2016, the effective tax rate included tax benefits for the domestic production activities deduction and energy tax credits, offset primarily by state income tax expense. For the nine months ended August 31, 2016, the effective tax rate included tax benefits for (1) settlements with the IRS, (2) the domestic production activities deduction, and (3) energy tax credits, offset primarily by state income tax expense.

As of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the Company's deferred tax assets, net, included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $388.4 million and $277.4 million, respectively.

At both August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the Company had $12.3 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits.

At August 31, 2017, the Company had $48.8 million accrued for interest and penalties, of which $3.2 million was accrued during the nine months ended August 31, 2017. During the nine months ended August 31, 2017, the accrual for interest and penalties was reduced by $0.4 million, primarily as a result of interest payments. At November 30, 2016, the Company had $46.0 million accrued for interest and penalties.


(7)	Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings 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.

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 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.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows:



	Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended

The Lennar Financial Services segment uses these facilities to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to investors and the proceeds are collected. The facilities are non-recourse to the Company and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. Borrowings under the facilities and their prior year predecessors were $719.5 million and $1.1 billion at August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $747.9 million and $1.1 billion at August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, 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 but not yet paid for. Without the facilities, the Lennar Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.

Substantially, all of the loans the Lennar Financial Services segment originates are sold within a short period in the secondary mortgage market on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, the Company retains potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that it breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. Over the last several years there has been an industry-wide effort by purchasers to defray their losses by purporting to have found inaccuracies related to sellers’ representations and warranties in particular loan sale agreements. Mortgage investors could seek to have the Company buy back mortgage loans or compensate them for losses incurred on mortgage loans that the Company has sold based on claims that the Company breached its limited representations or warranties. The Company’s mortgage operations have established accruals for possible losses associated with mortgage loans previously originated and sold to investors. The Company establishes accruals for such possible losses based upon, among other things, an analysis of repurchase requests received, an estimate of potential repurchase claims not yet received and actual past repurchases and losses through the disposition of affected loans as well as previous settlements. While the Company believes that it has adequately reserved for known losses and projected repurchase requests, given the volatility in the mortgage industry and the uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of these claims, if either actual repurchases or the losses incurred resolving those repurchases exceed the Company’s expectations, additional recourse expense may be incurred. Loan origination liabilities are included in Lennar Financial Services’ liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The activity in the Company’s loan origination liabilities was as follows:

(1)

Restricted cash primarily consisted of cash set aside for future investments on behalf of a real estate investment trust that Rialto is a sub-advisor to. It also included upfront deposits and application fees RMF receives before originating loans and is recognized as income once the loan has been originated, as well as cash held in escrow by the Company’s loan servicer provider on behalf of customers and lenders and is disbursed in accordance with agreements between the transacting parties.


(2)	Receivables, net primarily related to loans sold but not settled as of November 30, 2016.


(3)	Loans held-for-sale related to unsold loans originated by RMF carried at fair value and loans in the FDIC Portfolios carried at lower of cost or market.


(4)	As of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, notes and other debts payable primarily included $349.2 million and $348.7 million, respectively, related to Rialto's 7.00% senior notes due 2018, and $182.7 million and $223.5 million, respectively, related to Rialto's warehouse repurchase facilities.

Rialto Mortgage Finance - loans held-for-sale

During the nine months ended August 31, 2017, RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of $1.3 billion of which $1.3 billion were recorded as loans held-for-sale and $57.4 million were recorded as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold $1.1 billion of loans into eight separate securitizations. During the nine months ended August 31, 2016, RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of $1.2 billion of which $1.2 billion were recorded as loans held-for-sale and $55.7 million as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold $1.3 billion of loans into seven separate securitizations. As of August 31, 2017, there were no unsettled transactions. As of November 30, 2016, originated loans with an unpaid principal balance of $199.8 million were sold into a securitization trust but not settled and thus were included as receivables, net.

FDIC Portfolios

In 2010, the Rialto segment acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies ("LLCs") in partnership with the FDIC ("FDIC Portfolios"). 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 Rialto's management and servicer contracts.

In February 2017, the FDIC exercised its “clean-up call rights” under the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement. As a result, Rialto had until July 10, 2017 to liquidate and sell the assets in the FDIC Portfolios. On July 10, 2017, Rialto and the FDIC entered into an agreement which extended the original agreement date to January 10, 2018. After January 10, 2018, (1) the FDIC can, at its discretion, sell any remaining assets, or (2) Rialto will have the option to purchase the FDIC's interest in the portfolios. At August 31, 2017, the consolidated LLCs had total combined assets of $85.8 million, which primarily included $49.0 million of real estate owned, net and $19.2 million of loans held-for-sale.

Warehouse Facilities

At August 31, 2017, Rialto warehouse facilities were as follows:



(In thousands)	Maximum Aggregate Commitment
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures October 2017 (1)	$	500,000
Warehouse repurchase facility that matures December 2017	200,000
364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures January 2018	250,000
Total - Loan origination and securitization business (RMF)	$	950,000
Warehouse repurchase facility that matures August 2018 (two - one year extensions) (2)	100,000
Total	$	1,050,000


(1)	Subsequent to August 31, 2017, Rialto executed an amendment and extension of this facility, providing for, among other things, the extension of the maximum term facility to October 2018, with the option for an additional one year extension, and decreased the maximum aggregate commitment of the facility to $400 million.


(2)	Rialto uses this warehouse repurchase facility to finance the origination of floating rate accrual loans, which are reported as accrual loans within loans receivable, net. Borrowings under this facility were $34.4 million and $43.3 million as of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively.

Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's loan originations and securitization activities were $148.3 million and $180.2 million as of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively, and were secured by a 75% interest in the originated commercial loans financed. The facilities require immediate repayment of the 75% interest in the secured commercial loans when the loans are sold in a securitization and the proceeds are collected. These warehouse repurchase facilities are non-recourse to the Company and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be paid off by selling the loans held-for-sale to investors. Without the facilities, the Rialto segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

Generally, all of Rialto's investments in funds have the attributes of an investment company in accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, as amended by ASU 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements, the attributes of which are different from the

attributes that would cause a company to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the funds in which Rialto has investments in are recorded at fair value with increases/decreases in fair value recorded in their respective statements of operations and the Company’s share is recorded in Rialto equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities in the Company's statement of operations.

The following table reflects Rialto's investments in funds that invest in and manage real estate related assets and other investments:

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017, Rialto received $0.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of advance distributions with regard to Rialto's carried interests in its real estate funds in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to Rialto's carried interests in these funds. In addition, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017, Rialto received $10.6 million and $29.4 million, respectively, of distributions with regard to its carried interest in Rialto Real Estate Fund, LP. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, Rialto received $2.1 million and $9.5 million, respectively, of such advanced distributions.

During 2015, Rialto adopted a Carried Interest Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), under which participating employees in the aggregate may receive up to 40% of the equity units of a limited liability company (a "Carried Interest Entity") that is entitled to carried interest distributions made by a fund or other investment vehicle (a "Fund") managed by a subsidiary of Rialto. As such, those employees receiving equity units in a Carried Interest Entity may benefit from distributions made by a Fund to the extent the Carried Interest Entity makes distributions to its equity holders. The units issued to employees are equity awards and are subject to vesting schedules and forfeiture or repurchase provisions in the case of a termination of employment.

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

Investments held-to-maturity

At August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the carrying value of Rialto's commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") was $142.5 million and $71.3 million, respectively. These securities were purchased at discounts ranging from 9% to 84% with coupon rates ranging from 1.3% to 5.0%, stated and assumed final distribution dates between November 2020 and June 2027, and stated maturity dates between November 2043 and March 2059. The Rialto segment reviews changes in estimated cash flows periodically to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on its CMBS. Based on the Rialto segment’s assessment, no impairment charges were recorded during either the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017 or August 31, 2016. The Rialto segment classified these securities as held-to-maturity based on its intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity.


(10)	Lennar Multifamily Segment

The Company is actively involved, primarily through unconsolidated entities, in the development, construction and property management of multifamily rental properties. The Lennar Multifamily segment focuses on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets.

The assets and liabilities related to the Lennar Multifamily segment were as follows:

	$	683,258	526,131

Accounts payable and other liabilities	$	128,162	117,973


(1)	Receivables primarily related to general contractor services, net of deferrals and management fee income receivables due from unconsolidated entities as of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively.

The unconsolidated entities in which the Lennar Multifamily segment has investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In connection with many of the loans to Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities, the Company (or entities related to them) has been required to give guarantees of completion and cost over-runs to the lenders and partners. Those completion guarantees may require that the guarantors complete the construction of the improvements for which the financing was obtained. Additionally, the Company guarantees the construction costs of the project as construction cost over-runs would be paid by the Company. Generally, these payments would be increases to the Company's investment in the entities and would increase its share of funds the entities distribute after the achievement of certain thresholds. As of both August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the fair value of the completion guarantees was immaterial. Additionally, as of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the Lennar Multifamily segment had $13.0 million and $32.0 million, respectively, of letters of credit outstanding primarily for credit enhancements for the bank debt of certain of its unconsolidated entities and deposits on land purchase contracts. These letters of credit outstanding are included in the disclosure in Note 12 related to the Company's performance and financial letters of credit. As of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, Lennar Multifamily segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of $838.9 million and $589.4 million, respectively.

In many instances, the Lennar Multifamily segment is appointed as the construction, development and property manager for certain of its Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities and receives fees for performing this function. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017, the Lennar Multifamily segment recorded fee income, net of deferrals, from its unconsolidated entities of $13.1 million and $41.2 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, the Lennar Multifamily segment recorded fee income, net of deferrals, from its unconsolidated entities of $10.0 million and $27.4 million, respectively.

The Lennar Multifamily segment also provides general contractor services for construction of some of the rental properties owned by unconsolidated entities in which the Company has an investment. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017, the Lennar Multifamily segment provided general contractor services, net of deferrals totaling $90.3 million and $250.7 million, respectively, which were partially offset by costs related to those services of $86.7 million and $243.7 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, the Lennar Multifamily segment provided general contractor services, net of deferrals totaling $71.6 million and $156.5 million, respectively, which were partially offset by costs related to those services of $69.1 million and $151.4 million, respectively.

The Lennar Multifamily Venture (the "Venture") is a long-term multifamily development investment vehicle involved in the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets with $2.2 billion in equity commitments, including a $504 million co-investment commitment by Lennar comprised of cash, undeveloped land and preacquisition costs. During the nine months ended August 31, 2017, $464.4 million in equity commitments were called, of which the Company contributed $106.1 million representing the Company's pro-rata portion of the called equity. During the nine months ended August 31, 2017, the Company received no distributions as a return of capital from the Venture, except for distributions of capital related to land contributions to the Venture. As of August 31, 2017, $1.4 billion of the $2.2 billion in equity commitments had been called, of which the Company had contributed $321.9 million, representing its pro-rata portion of the called equity, resulting in a remaining equity commitment for the Company of $182.1 million. As of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the carrying value of the Company's investment in the Venture was $296.9 million and $198.2 million, respectively.

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

The carrying amounts of the senior notes listed above are net of debt issuance costs of $26.4 million and $22.1 million, as of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively.

In May 2017, the Company amended the credit agreement governing its unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") to increase the maximum borrowings from $1.8 billion to $2.0 billion and extend the maturity on $1.4 billion of the Credit Facility from June 2020 to June 2022, with $160 million maturing in June 2018 and the remaining $50 million maturing in June 2020. As of August 31, 2017, the Credit Facility included a $403 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments. The proceeds available under the Credit Facility, which are subject to specified conditions for borrowing, may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The credit agreement also provides that up to $500 million in commitments may be used for letters of credit. Under the Credit Facility agreement, the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, a maximum leverage ratio and either a liquidity or an interest coverage ratio. These ratios are calculated per the Credit Facility agreement, which involves adjustments to GAAP financial measures. The Company believes it was in compliance with its debt covenants at August 31, 2017. In addition, the Company had $330 million of letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.

The Company’s performance letters of credit outstanding were $395.7 million and $270.8 million, respectively, at August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016. The Company’s financial letters of credit outstanding were $153.8 million and

$210.3 million, at August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively. Performance letters of credit are generally posted with regulatory bodies to guarantee the Company’s performance of certain development and construction activities. Financial letters of credit are generally posted in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at August 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $1.2 billion including performance surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects in the Company’s joint ventures) and financial surety bonds. 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, 2017, there were approximately $514.4 million, or 42%, of anticipated future costs to complete related to these site improvements. The Company does not presently anticipate any draws upon these bonds or letters of credit, but if any 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 January 2017, the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due 2022 (the "4.125% Senior Notes") at a price of 100%. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, were $595.2 million.
