EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amendment”) to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”) for Lennar Corporation (the “Company”) for the quarter ended February 28, 2013, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2013 (the “Original Filing”), is being filed for the sole purpose of revising Note 17 - Supplemental Financial Information, contained in Part I, Item 1 as described below and to make corresponding amendments to the Interactive Data File included in the Original Filing as Exhibit 101. In addition, Part II of the Original Filing has also been amended to contain currently dated versions of the certifications required under sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The revisions to Note 17 relate solely to transactions between Lennar Corporation and its subsidiaries and only impact the Company's Consolidating Financial Statements included as supplemental information in Note 17. They do not affect the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for any period or any date.
The Supplemental Financial Information is being revised in order to (A) adjust the Investments in Subsidiaries, Intercompany and Equity accounts of the Parent, Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries in the Company's Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets with corresponding offsets in the elimination column, as well as an adjustment to eliminate the portion of stockholders' equity at the Guarantor subsidiaries that are related to Non-Guarantors held directly by the Parent and (B) adjust the Parent's intercompany receivable from its subsidiaries from a contra-liability in the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets to an asset.
The Company's Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations are being revised in order to (C) eliminate the portion of equity in earnings previously recorded at the Guarantor subsidiaries that are earned directly by the Parent.
The Company's Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows are also being revised in order to adjust for (D) the misclassification of certain non-cash items between the Parent, Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries, (E) classification of the net intercompany funding activity of the Parent, which was previously included as an element of Cash Flows from Financing Activities, as an element of Cash Flows from Investing Activities, and (F) classification of distributions of earnings from the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries that were previously being netted in the Intercompany line item, as Dividends in a separate line item within Cash Flows from Financing Activities of the distributing entities, as well as disclosing the distributions of earnings from Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries as a separate line item within Cash Flows from Operating Activities. The above adjustments did not have any impact on the net cash activity of the Parent, Guarantor or Non-Guarantor subsidiaries within the Company's Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows.
No other changes have been made to the Form 10-Q. This Amendment is as of the Original Filing date, does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the Original Filing and, except for the revision to Note 17 - Supplemental Financial Information, does not modify or update in any way disclosures made in the the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing. For updated information about the Company, refer to the Company's most recent filings with the SEC. These filings contain important information regarding events, developments and updates to certain expectations of the Company that have occurred since the Original Filing.

Lennar Corporation and Subsidiaries
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 15) 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, 2012. 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 months ended February 28, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Rialto Management Fees Revenue
The Rialto Investments segment provides services to a variety of legal entities and investment vehicles such as funds, joint ventures, co-invests, and other private equity structures to manage their respective investments. As a result, Rialto earns and receives management fees, underwriting fees, due diligence fees and liquidation fees on asset resolutions. The management fees and other forms of compensation to Rialto vary on a deal by deal basis and can increase after meeting certain investment hurdles. Management fees related to the Rialto Investments segment are included in Rialto Investments revenue and are recorded when contract terms are met, fees are determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We believe the way we record Rialto Investments' management fees revenue is a significant accounting policy because it is a significant portion of Rialto Investments segment's revenues and will continue to grow in the future as the segment manages more assets.
Reclassifications/Revisions
Subsequent to the issuance of the November 30, 2012 consolidated financial statements, the Company determined it needed to revise its disclosures and presentations with respect to the supplemental financial information included in Note 17. These revisions do not affect the Company's consolidated financial statements and relate solely to transactions between Lennar Corporation and its subsidiaries and only impact the Supplemental Consolidating Financial Statements that are presented as supplemental information.
Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2013 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s results of operations.
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 Southeast Florida
(5) Homebuilding Houston
(6) Lennar Financial Services
(7) 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.
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 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 operations located in:
East: Florida(1), Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia
Central: Arizona, Colorado and Texas(2) 
West: California and Nevada
Southeast Florida: Southeast Florida
Houston: Houston, Texas
Other: Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington
(1)Florida in the East reportable segment excludes Southeast Florida, which is its own reportable segment.
(2)Texas in the Central reportable segment excludes Houston, Texas, which is its own reportable segment.
Operations of the Lennar Financial Services segment include 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 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. 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 generally in the same states as the Company’s homebuilding operations, as well as in other states.
Operations of the Rialto Investments (“Rialto”) segment include sourcing, underwriting, pricing, managing and ultimately monetizing real estate and real estate related assets, as well as providing similar services to others in markets across the country. Rialto’s operating earnings consists of revenues generated primarily from accretable interest income associated with portfolios of real estate loans acquired in partnership with the FDIC and other portfolios of real estate loans and assets acquired, asset management, due diligence and underwriting fees derived from the segment's Real Estate Investment Fund, LP (the “Fund I”), fees for sub-advisory services, other income (expense), net, consisting primarily of net gains upon foreclosure of real estate owned (“REO”) and net gains on sale of REO, and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the costs incurred by the segment for managing portfolios, REO expenses and other general 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 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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.

As of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the Company’s recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $577.3 million and $565.4 million, respectively, while the underlying equity in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012 was $690.6 million, and $681.6 million, respectively, primarily as a result of the Company buying its interest in a partner's equity in a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity at a discount to book value.
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 approximately a 20% ownership interest and 50% voting rights. Due to the nature of 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet in consolidated inventory not owned. As of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the portfolio of land (including land development costs) of $255.8 million and $264.9 million, respectively, is also 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.

During the three months ended February 28, 2013, the Company’s maximum recourse exposure related to indebtedness of Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities decreased by $10.9 million primarily related to the joint ventures selling assets and other transactions.
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 Lennar Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities with recourse debt were as follows:

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 payments. Historically, the Company has had repayment guarantees and/or 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 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 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 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 February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the Company does not have any maintenance guarantees related to its Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.
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 February 28, 2013, there were no loan paydowns by Lennar relating to recourse debt. During the three months ended February 29, 2012, there were other loan paydowns of $3.4 million. During both the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, there were no payments under completion guarantees.
As of February 28, 2013, the fair values of the repayment guarantees and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of February 28, 2013, 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).

The Company has a stock repurchase program which permits the purchase of up to 20 million shares of its outstanding common stock. During the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, there were no repurchases of

14



common stock under the stock repurchase program. As of February 28, 2013, 6.2 million shares of common stock can be repurchased in the future under the program.
During three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, treasury stock decreased by 0.5 million and 0.3 million, respectively, in Class A common shares due to activity related to the Company's equity compensation plan.

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 each reporting period by the Company based on the more-likely-than-not realization threshold criterion. In the assessment of the need 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, actual earnings, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with loss carryforwards not expiring unused and tax planning alternatives.
During the year ended November 30, 2012, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the majority of its deferred tax assets would be utilized. This conclusion was based on a detailed evaluation of all relevant evidence, both positive and negative as detailed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2012. Accordingly, the Company reversed a majority of its valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. As of November 30, 2012, the Company had a valuation allowance of $88.8 million, primarily related to state net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards.
During the three months ended February 28, 2013, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that a portion of its state NOL carryforwards related to which a valuation allowance had been established would be utilized. This conclusion was based on additional positive evidence including actual and forecasted profitability. Accordingly, during the three months ended February 28, 2013, the Company reversed $25.1 million of its valuation allowance against its state NOL carryforwards. This reversal was partially offset by a tax provision of $21.5 million primarily related to pre-tax earnings during the three months ended February 28, 2013. Therefore, the Company had a $3.6 million net benefit for income taxes during the three months ended February 28, 2013. During the three months ended February 29, 2012, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $1.5 million, primarily related to a refund claim for certain losses carried back to a prior year. Based on an analysis utilizing objectively verifiable evidence, it was not more likely than not that certain state NOL carryforwards would be utilized due to an inability to carry back these losses in most states and short carryforward periods that exist in certain states. As a result, as of February 28, 2013, the Company had a valuation allowance of $63.7 million against its deferred tax assets, primarily related to state NOL carryforwards. In future periods, some or all of the remaining allowance could be reversed if additional sufficient positive evidence is present indicating that it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the Company's remaining deferred tax assets will be realized.
As of February 28, 2013, the Company's deferred tax assets, net, were $475.3 million, of which $481.2 million were deferred tax assets included in Lennar Homebuilding's other assets on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and $5.9 million were deferred tax liabilities included in Lennar Financial Services segment's liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.
At February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the Company had federal tax effected NOL carryforwards totaling $279.7 million and $278.8 million, respectively, that may be carried forward up to 20 years to offset future taxable income and begin to expire in 2025. As of February 28, 2013, the Company needs to generate $1.0 billion of pre-tax earnings in future periods to realize all of its federal NOL carryforwards and federal deductible temporary tax differences. At February 28, 2013 and November, 30, 2012, the Company had state tax effected NOL carryforwards totaling $173.5 million and $173.6 million, respectively, that may be carried forward from 5 to 20 years, depending on the tax jurisdiction, with losses expiring between 2013 and 2032. As of February 28, 2013, state NOL carryforwards totaling $7.9 million may expire over the next twelve months if sufficient taxable income is not generated to utilize the net operating losses. At February 28, 2013 and November, 30, 2012, the Company had a valuation allowance of $59.5 million and $84.6 million, respectively, against its state NOL carryforwards because the Company believes it is more likely than not that a portion of its state NOL carryforwards will not be realized due to the limited carryforward periods in certain states.
At February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the Company had $8.8 million and $12.3 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits. If the Company were to recognize its gross unrecognized tax benefits as of February 28, 2013, $5.7 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company expects the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to decrease by $1.6 million within twelve months as a result of anticipated settlements with various taxing authorities.
During the three months ended February 28, 2013, the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $3.5 million primarily as a result of state tax payments resulting from a previously settled IRS examination. The decrease in gross

15



unrecognized tax benefits had no effect on the Company’s effective tax rate, which was (6.75%). As a result of the partial reversal of the valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets, the effective tax rate is not reflective of the Company's historical tax rate.
At February 28, 2013, the Company had $18.1 million accrued for interest and penalties, of which $0.4 million was recorded during the three months ended February 28, 2013. During the three months ended February 28, 2013, the accrual for interest and penalties was reduced by $2.8 million primarily as a result of the payment of interest related to state tax payments resulting from a previously settled IRS examination. At November 30, 2012, the Company had $20.5 million accrued for interest and penalties.
The IRS is currently examining the Company’s federal income tax return for fiscal year 2011 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 year 2005 and subsequent years. The Company participates in the Compliance Assurance Process, "CAP," an IRS examination program. This program operates as a contemporaneous exam throughout the year in order to keep exam cycles current and achieve a higher level of compliance.

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:

Receivables, net primarily relate to loans sold to investors for which the Company had not yet been paid as of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively.
(2)
Loans held-for-sale relate to unsold loans carried at fair value.
(3)
Other assets include mortgage loan commitments carried at fair value of $12.0 million and $12.7 million as of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively.
(4)
Other liabilities include $75.7 million and $76.1 million as of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively, of certain of the Company’s self-insurance reserves related to general liability and workers’ compensation. Other liabilities also include forward contracts carried at fair value of $2.1 million and $2.6 million as of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively.
At February 28, 2013, the Lennar Financial Services segment had a 364-day warehouse repurchase facility with a maximum aggregate commitment of $100 million and an additional uncommitted amount of $100 million that matures in February 2014, a 364-day warehouse repurchase facility with a maximum aggregate commitment of $200 million that matures in July 2013, a 364-day warehouse repurchase facility with a maximum aggregate commitment of $150 million that matures February 2014 (plus a $100 million accordion feature that is usable from 10 days prior to quarter-end through 20 days after quarter-end) and a 364-day warehouse facility with a maximum aggregate commitment of $60 million, that matures November 2013. As of February 28, 2013, the maximum aggregate commitment and uncommitted amount under these facilities totaled $610 million and $100 million, respectively.
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 $311.9 million and $458.0 million at February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $405.7 million and $509.1 million at February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively. 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 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.
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 agreement. There has been an increased industry-wide effort by purchasers to defray their losses during the unfavorable economic environment by purporting to have found inaccuracies related to sellers’ representations and warranties in particular loan sale agreements. The Company’s mortgage operations have established reserves for possible losses associated with mortgage loans previously originated and sold to investors. The Company establishes reserves for such possible losses based upon, among other things, an analysis of repurchase requests received, an estimate of potential repurchase claims not yet

17



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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-investment, net, a loan is deemed impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Interest income is not accrued or recognized on impaired loans unless payment is received. Impaired loans are written-off if and when the loan is no longer secured by collateral. The total unpaid principal balance of the impaired loans as of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012 was $7.8 million and $7.3 million, respectively. At February 28, 2013, the recorded investment in the impaired loans with a valuation allowance was $3.4 million, net of an allowance of $4.4 million. At November 30, 2012, the recorded investment in the impaired loans with a valuation allowance was $2.9 million, net of an allowance of $4.4 million. The average recorded investment in impaired loans totaled $3.2 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012.

Loans Receivable
In February 2010, the Rialto segment acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies (“LLCs”), in partnership with the FDIC. The LLCs hold performing and non-performing loans formerly owned by 22 failed financial institutions and when the Rialto segment acquired its interests in the LLCs, the two portfolios consisted of approximately 5,500 distressed residential and commercial real estate loans (“FDIC Portfolios”). The FDIC retained 60% equity interests in the LLCs and provided $626.9 million of financing with 0% interest, which is non-recourse to the Company and the LLCs. As of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the notes payable balance was $167.2 million and $470.0 million, respectively; however, as of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, $4.7 million and $223.8 million, respectively, of cash collections on loans in excess of expenses were deposited in a defeasance account, established for the repayment of the notes payable, under the agreement with the FDIC. The funds in the defeasance account are being and will be used to retire the notes payable upon their maturity. During the three months ended February 28, 2013, the LLCs retired $302.8 million principal

19



amount of the notes payable under the agreement with the FDIC through the defeasance account. In February 2013, the Rialto segment and the FDIC entered into a forbearance agreement whereby the FDIC temporarily waived its right to reissue a new purchase money note for the remaining $11.2 million balance of the portion of the notes payable that was due on February 25, 2013 until July 25, 2013. This forbearance does not meet the definition of an extension in the financing agreement and thus, no triggering event is deemed to have occurred. The Company agreed to disburse all available funds in the defeasance account on a monthly basis to the FDIC until the remaining $11.2 million balance of the portion of the notes payable that was due on February 25, 2013 was paid in full, but no later than July 25, 2013. In March 2013, the Company paid the remaining balance of the notes payable that was due on February 25, 2013 with cash disbursed from the defeasance account.
The LLCs met the accounting definition of VIEs and since the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidated the LLCs. At February 28, 2013, these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of $930.7 million and $188.2 million, respectively. At November 30, 2012, these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of $1,236.4 million and $493.4 million, respectively.
In September 2010, the Rialto segment acquired approximately 400 distressed residential and commercial real estate loans (“Bank Portfolios”) and over 300 REO properties from three financial institutions. The Company paid $310 million for the distressed real estate and real estate related assets of which $124 million was financed through a 5-year senior unsecured note provided by one of the selling institutions of which $33.0 million of principal amount was retired in 2012.

With regard to loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, (“ASC 310-30”), the Rialto segment estimated the cash flows, at acquisition, it expected to collect on the FDIC Portfolios and Bank Portfolios. In accordance with ASC 310-30, the difference between the contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the nonaccretable difference. This difference is neither accreted into income nor recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the cost of the loans acquired is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loans using the effective yield method.
The Rialto segment periodically evaluates its estimate of cash flows expected to be collected on its FDIC Portfolios and Bank Portfolios. These evaluations require the continued use of key assumptions and estimates, similar to those used in the initial estimate of fair value of the loans to allocate purchase price. Subsequent changes in the estimated cash flows expected to be collected may result in changes in the accretable yield and nonaccretable difference or reclassifications from nonaccretable yield to accretable yield. Increases in the cash flows expected to be collected will generally result in an increase in interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool of loans. Decreases in expected cash flows due to further credit deterioration will generally result in an impairment charge recognized as a provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses.
The outstanding balance and carrying value of loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 was as follows:

Additions primarily represent reclasses from nonaccretable yield to accretable yield on the portfolios. Deletions represent loan impairments and disposal of loans, which includes foreclosure of underlying collateral and result in the removal of the loans from the accretable yield portfolios.
When forecasted principal and interest cannot be reasonably estimated at the loan acquisition date, management classifies the loan as nonaccrual and accounts for these assets in accordance with ASC 310-10, Receivables (“ASC 310-10”). When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, any subsequent cash receipt is accounted for using the cost recovery method. In accordance with ASC 310-10, a loan is considered impaired when based on current information and events it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. Although these loans met the definition of ASC 310-10, these loans were not considered impaired relative to the Company’s recorded investment at the time of acquisition since they were acquired at a substantial discount to their unpaid principal balance. A provision for loan losses is recognized when the recorded investment in the loan is in excess of its fair value. The fair value of the loan is determined by using either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.
The following tables represent nonaccrual loans in the FDIC Portfolios and Bank Portfolios accounted for under ASC 310-10 aggregated by collateral type:

The average recorded investment in impaired loans totaled approximately $37 million and $69 million for the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively.
The loans receivable portfolios consist of loans acquired at a discount. Based on the nature of these loans, the portfolios are managed by assessing the risks related to the likelihood of collection of payments from borrowers and guarantors, as well as monitoring the value of the underlying collateral. The following are the risk categories for the loans receivable portfolios:
Accrual — Loans in which forecasted cash flows under the loan agreement, as it might be modified from time to time, can be reasonably estimated at the date of acquisition. The risk associated with loans in this category relates to the possible default by the borrower with respect to principal and interest payments and the possible decline in value of the underlying

21



collateral and thus, both could cause a decline in the forecasted cash flows used to determine accretable yield income and the recognition of an impairment through an allowance for loan losses. As of February 28, 2013, the Company had an allowance on these loans of $16.9 million. During the three months ended February 28, 2013, the Company recorded $6.1 million of provision for loan losses offset by charge-offs of $1.4 million upon resolution of the loans. As of November 30, 2012, the Company had an allowance on these loans of $12.2 million. During the three months ended February 29, 2012, the Company did not record any provision for loan losses or charge-offs on these loans.
Nonaccrual — Loans in which forecasted principal and interest could not be reasonably estimated at the date of acquisition. Although the Company believes the recorded investment balance will ultimately be realized, the risk of nonaccrual loans relates to a decline in the value of the collateral securing the outstanding obligation and the recognition of an impairment through an allowance for loan losses if the recorded investment in the loan exceeds the fair value of the collateral less estimated cost to sell. As of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the Company had an allowance on these loans of $1.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, the Company recorded $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of provision for loan losses offset by charge-offs of $3.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, upon foreclosure of the loans.

In order to assess the risk associated with each risk category, the Rialto segment evaluates the forecasted cash flows and the value of the underlying collateral securing loans receivable on a quarterly basis or when an event occurs that suggest a decline in the collateral’s fair value.
Real Estate Owned
The acquisition of properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets as REO held-and-used, net and REO held-for-sale. When a property is determined to be held-and-used, net, the asset is recorded at fair value and depreciated over its useful life using the straight line method. When certain criteria set forth in ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, are met; the property is classified as held-for-sale. When a real estate asset is classified as held-for-sale, the property is recorded at the lower of its cost basis or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of REO held-for-sale are determined in part by placing reliance on third party appraisals of the properties and/or internally prepared analyses of recent offers or prices on comparable properties in the proximate vicinity.
Upon the acquisition of REO through loan foreclosure, gains and losses are recorded in Rialto Investments other income (expense), net. The amount by which the recorded investment in the loan is less than the REO’s fair value (net of estimated cost to sell if held-for-sale), is recorded as an unrealized gain upon foreclosure. The amount by which the recorded investment in the loan is greater than the REO’s fair value (net of estimated cost to sell if held-for-sale) is generally recorded as a provision for loan losses.

22



At times, the Company may foreclose on a loan from an accrual loan pool in which the removal of the loan does not cause an overall decrease in the expected cash flows of the loan pool, and as such, no provision for loan losses is required to be recorded. However, the amount by which the recorded investment in the loan is greater than the REO’s fair value (net of estimated cost to sell if held-for-sale) is recorded as an unrealized loss upon foreclosure.

For the three months ended February 28, 2013, the Company recorded $8.7 million of net gains from sales of REO. For the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, the Company recorded net gains of $1.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively, from acquisitions of REO through foreclosure. These net gains are recorded in Rialto Investments other income (expense), net.
Investments
In 2010, the Rialto segment invested in approximately $43 million of non-investment grade commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) for $19.4 million, representing a 55% discount to par value. The CMBS have a stated and assumed final distribution date of November 2020 and a stated maturity date of October 2057. The Rialto segment reviews changes in estimated cash flows periodically, to determine if other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on its investment securities. Based on the Rialto segment’s assessment, no impairment charges were recorded during both the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012.The carrying value of the investment securities at February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, was $15.3 million and $15.0 million, respectively. The Rialto segment classified these securities as held-to-maturity based on its intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity.
In 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Rialto segment obtained investors in Fund I who made equity commitments of $700 million (including $75 million committed by the Company). All capital commitments have been called and funded, and Fund I is closed to additional commitments. Fund I was determined to have the attributes of an investment company in accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, 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, Fund I’s assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value with increases/decreases in fair value recorded in the statement of operations of Fund I, the

Company’s share of which are recorded in the Rialto Investments equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities financial statement line item.
During the three months ended February 28, 2013, the Company received distributions of $7.7 million as a return of capital. During the three months ended February 29, 2012, the Company contributed $7.3 million to Fund I. As of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Fund I was $97.6 million and $98.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, the Company’s share of earnings from Fund I was $6.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively.
Additionally, another subsidiary in the Rialto segment has approximately a 5% investment in a service and infrastructure provider to the residential home loan market (the “Servicer Provider”), which provides services to the consolidated LLCs, among others. As of both February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the Servicer Provider was $8.4 million.
In December 2012, the Rialto segment completed the first closing of and Real Estate Fund II, LP ("Fund II") with initial equity commitments of approximately $260 million, including $100 million committed by the Company. No cash was funded at the time of the closing. Fund II's objective during its three-year investment period is to invest in distressed real estate assets and other related investments that fit Fund II's investment parameters. In March 2013, $75 million of the $260 million in equity commitments was called, of which, the Company contributed its portion of approximately $29 million.

At February 28, 2013, the Company had a $150 million Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement ("LC Agreement") with certain financial institutions, which may be increased to $200 million, but for which there are currently no commitments for the additional $50 million. In addition, at February 28, 2013, the Company also had a $50 million Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement with certain financial institutions that had a $50 million accordion feature for which there are currently no commitments, and a $200 million Letter of Credit Facility with a financial institution. Additionally, in May 2012, the Company entered into a 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with certain financial institutions that expires in May 2015. As of February 28, 2013, the maximum aggregate commitment under the Credit Facility was $525 million, of which $500 million was committed and $25 million was available through an accordion feature, subject to additional commitments. As of February 28, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Company believes it was in compliance with its debt covenants at February 28, 2013.
The Company’s performance letters of credit outstanding were $115.8 million and $107.5 million, respectively, at February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012. The Company’s financial letters of credit outstanding were $209.0 million and $204.7 million, respectively, at February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012. 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, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at February 28, 2013, the Company had outstanding performance and surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects in the Company’s joint ventures) of $614.7 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 February 28, 2013, there were approximately $360.6 million, or 59%, 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.
During the three months ended February 28, 2013, the Company issued $275 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due 2018 (the "4.125% Senior Notes") at a price of 99.998% in a private placement and an additional $175

25



million aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% senior notes due 2022 ("4.750% Senior Notes") at a price of 98.073% in a private placement. Proceeds from the offerings, after payment of expenses, were $272.0 million and $172.2 million, respectively. The Company will use the net proceeds of the sale of the 4.125% Senior Notes and the 4.750% Senior Notes for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include repayment or repurchase of its other outstanding senior notes. Interest on the 4.125% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning September 15, 2013. The 4.125% Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries. Interest on the 4.750% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning May 15, 2013. The 4.750% Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries. At February 28, 2013, the carrying amount of the 4.125% Senior Notes was $275.0 million. At February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the carrying amount of the 4.750% Senior Notes was $521.6 million and $350.0 million, respectively.
In November 2011, the Company issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2021 (the “3.25% Convertible Senior Notes”). During the three months ended February 29, 2012, the initial purchasers of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes purchased an additional $50 million aggregate principal amount to cover over-allotments. At both February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the carrying and principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes was $400.0 million. The 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at any time prior to maturity or redemption at the initial conversion rate of 42.5555 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes or 17,022,200 Class A common shares if all the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes are converted, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.50 per share of Class A common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The shares are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Holders of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes 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 November 15, 2016. The Company has the right to redeem the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes at any time on or after November 20, 2016 for 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest. The 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries.
The 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2020 (the “2.75% Convertible Senior Notes”) are convertible into cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of both, at the Company’s election. However, it is the Company’s intent to settle the face value of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes in cash. Prior to the second quarter of 2012, the shares were not historically included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share primarily because it is the Company’s intent to settle the face value of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes in cash and the Company's volume weighted average stock price did not exceed the conversion price. However, the Company’s volume weighted average stock price for the three months ended February 28, 2013 was $39.54, which exceeded the conversion price, thus 8.9 million shares were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Holders may convert the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes at the initial conversion rate of 45.1794 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount or 20,150,012 Class A common shares if all the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes are converted, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $22.13 per share of Class A common stock. Holders of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes 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 December 15, 2015. The Company has the right to redeem the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes at any time on or after December 20, 2015 for 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest. The 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries.
Certain provisions under ASC 470, Debt, require the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion to separately account for the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. The Company has applied these provisions to its 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes. At both February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the principal amount of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes was $446.0 million. At February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the carrying amount of the equity component included in stockholders’ equity was $40.7 million and $44.2 million, respectively, and the net carrying amount of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes included in Lennar Homebuilding senior notes and other debts payable was $405.3 million and $401.8 million, respectively.
The 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 (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 Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes or 10,004,517 Class A common shares if all the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes are converted, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $27.64 per share of Class A common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The shares are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. At both February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the carrying and principal amount of the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes was $276.5 million. Holders of the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes 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 has the right to redeem the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes at any time on or after December 1, 2013 for

26



100% of their principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest. The 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries.
Although the guarantees by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries are full, unconditional and joint and several while they are in effect, (i) a subsidiary will cease to be a guarantor at any time when it is not directly or indirectly guaranteeing at least $75 million of debt of Lennar Corporation (the parent company), and (ii) a subsidiary will be released from its guarantee and any other obligations it may have regarding the senior notes if all or substantially all its assets, or all of its capital stock, are sold or otherwise disposed of.

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 February 28, 2013, the Company has identified approximately 1,010 homes delivered in Florida primarily during its 2006 and 2007 fiscal years that are confirmed to have had defective Chinese drywall and resulting damage. This represents a small percentage of homes the Company delivered nationally (1.2%) during those fiscal years. Defective Chinese drywall is an industry-wide issue as other homebuilders have publicly disclosed that they have experienced 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 has offered to replace defective Chinese drywall when it has been found in homes the Company has built, and has done so in substantially all affected homes. Drywall claims for approximately 40 of the 1,010 homes will be resolved through settlement of the drywall multi-district class action litigation in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Through February 28, 2013, the Company has accrued $82.2 million of warranty reserves related to defective Chinese drywall. There were no additional amounts accrued during the three months ended February 28, 2013. As of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the warranty reserve related to Chinese drywall, net of payments, was $2.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The Company has received, and continues to seek, 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.

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 and the fair value of variable-rate borrowings is based on expected future cash flows calculated using current market forward rates.
Rialto Investments—The fair values for loans receivable is based on discounted cash flows, or the fair value of the collateral less estimated cost to sell. The fair value for investments held-to-maturity is based on discounted cash flows. For notes payable, the fair value of the zero percent interest notes guaranteed by the FDIC was calculated based on a 2-year treasury yield, and the fair value of other notes payable was calculated based on discounted cash flows using the Company’s weighted average borrowing rate.
Lennar Financial Services—The fair values above are based on quoted market prices, if available. The fair values for instruments that do not have quoted market prices are estimated by the Company 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 on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The aggregate fair value of loans held-for-sale of $334.7 million at February 28, 2013 exceeds their aggregate principal balance of $322.3 million by $12.4 million. The aggregate fair value of loans held-for-sale of $502.3 million at November 30, 2012 exceeds their aggregate principal balance of $479.1 million by $23.2 million.
The estimated fair values of the Company’s 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 derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. In addition, the Company recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue upon entering into an interest rate lock loan commitment with a borrower. The fair value of these servicing rights is included in Lennar Financial Services’ loans held-for-sale as of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012. Fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics.
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.
Investments available-for-sale— The fair value of these investments are based on third party valuations.

These gains and impairments are included within the Rialto Investments other income (expense), net, in the Company’s statement of operations for the three months ended February 29, 2012.
Finished homes and construction in progress are included within inventories. Inventories are stated at cost unless the inventory within a community is determined to be impaired, in which case the impaired inventory is written down to fair value. Inventory costs include land, land development and home construction costs, real estate taxes, deposits on land purchase contracts and interest related to development and construction. Construction overhead and selling expenses are expensed as incurred. Homes held-for-sale are classified as inventories until delivered. Land, land development, amenities and other costs are accumulated by specific area and allocated to homes within the respective areas. The Company reviews its inventory for indicators of impairment by evaluating each community during each reporting period. The inventory within each community is categorized as finished homes and construction in progress or land under development based on the development state of the community. There were 482 and 424 active communities, excluding unconsolidated entities, as of February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively. If the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by a community are less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the carrying amount of such community to its estimated fair

31



value.
In conducting its review for indicators of impairment on a community level, the Company evaluates, among other things, the margins on homes that have been delivered, margins on homes under sales contracts in backlog, projected margins with regard to future home sales over the life of the community, projected margins with regard to future land sales and the estimated fair value of the land itself. The Company pays particular attention to communities in which inventory is moving at a slower than anticipated absorption pace and communities whose average sales price and/or margins are trending downward and are anticipated to continue to trend downward. From this review, the Company identifies communities whose carrying values exceed their undiscounted cash flows.
The Company estimates the fair value of its communities using a discounted cash flow model. The projected cash flows for each community are significantly impacted by estimates related to market supply and demand, product type by community, homesite sizes, sales pace, sales prices, sales incentives, construction costs, sales and marketing expenses, the local economy, competitive conditions, labor costs, costs of materials and other factors for that particular community. Every division evaluates the historical performance of each of its communities as well as current trends in the market and economy impacting the community and its surrounding areas. These trends are analyzed for each of the estimates listed above. For example, since the start of the downturn in the housing market, the Company has found ways to reduce its construction costs in many communities, and this reduction in construction costs in addition to change in product type in many communities has impacted future estimated cash flows.
Each of the homebuilding markets in which the Company operates is unique, as homebuilding has historically been a local business driven by local market conditions and demographics. Each of the Company’s homebuilding markets has specific supply and demand relationships reflective of local economic conditions. The Company’s projected cash flows are impacted by many assumptions. Some of the most critical assumptions in the Company’s cash flow model are projected absorption pace for home sales, sales prices and costs to build and deliver homes on a community by community basis.
In order to arrive at the assumed absorption pace for home sales included in the Company’s cash flow model, the Company analyzes its historical absorption pace in the community as well as other comparable communities in the geographical area. In addition, the Company considers internal and external market studies and trends, which generally include, but are not limited to, statistics on population demographics, unemployment rates and availability of competing product in the geographic area where the community is located. When analyzing the Company’s historical absorption pace for home sales and corresponding internal and external market studies, the Company places greater emphasis on more current metrics and trends such as the absorption pace realized in its most recent quarters as well as forecasted population demographics, unemployment rates and availability of competing product. Generally, if the Company notices a variation from historical results over a span of two fiscal quarters, the Company considers such variation to be the establishment of a trend and adjusts its historical information accordingly in order to develop assumptions on the projected absorption pace in the cash flow model for a community.
In order to determine the assumed sales prices included in its cash flow models, the Company analyzes the historical sales prices realized on homes it delivered in the community and other comparable communities in the geographical area as well as the sales prices included in its current backlog for such communities. In addition, the Company considers internal and external market studies and trends, which generally include, but are not limited to, statistics on sales prices in neighboring communities and sales prices on similar products in non-neighboring communities in the geographic area where the community is located. When analyzing its historical sales prices and corresponding market studies, the Company also places greater emphasis on more current metrics and trends such as future forecasted sales prices in neighboring communities as well as future forecasted sales prices for similar products in non-neighboring communities. Generally, if the Company notices a variation from historical results over a span of two fiscal quarters, the Company considers such variation to be the establishment of a trend and adjusts its historical information accordingly in order to develop assumptions on the projected sales prices in the cash flow model for a community.
In order to arrive at the Company’s assumed costs to build and deliver homes, the Company generally assumes a cost structure reflecting contracts currently in place with its vendors adjusted for any anticipated cost reduction initiatives or increases in cost structure. Costs assumed in the cash flow model for the Company’s communities are generally based on the rates the Company is currently obligated to pay under existing contracts with its vendors adjusted for any anticipated cost reduction initiatives or increases in cost structure.
Since the estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s cash flow models are based upon historical results and projected trends, they do not anticipate unexpected changes in market conditions or strategies that may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future.
Using all available information, the Company calculates its best estimate of projected cash flows for each community. While many of the estimates are calculated based on historical and projected trends, all estimates are subjective and change

32



from market to market and community to community as market and economic conditions change. The determination of fair value also requires discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate the Company believes a market participant would determine to be commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. The discount rate used in determining each asset’s fair value depends on the community’s projected life and development stage. The Company generally uses a discount rate of approximately 20%, subject to the perceived risks associated with the community’s cash flow streams relative to its inventory.
The Company estimates the fair value of inventory evaluated for impairment based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the time the inventory is evaluated, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or assumptions change. For example, further market deterioration or changes in assumptions may lead to the Company incurring additional impairment charges on previously impaired inventory, as well as on inventory not currently impaired but for which indicators of impairment may arise if further market deterioration occurs.
In the three months ended February 28, 2013, the Company reviewed its communities for potential indicators of impairments and identified 24 communities with 759 homesites and a corresponding carrying value of $44.7 million as having potential indicators of impairment. Of those communities identified, the Company recorded impairments on 32 homesites in 3 communities with a corresponding carrying value of $4.2 million. The table below summarizes the most significant unobservable inputs used in the Company's discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of its communities for which the Company recorded valuation adjustments during the three months ended February 28, 2013:

The Company evaluates its investments in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment during each reporting period. A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated entity has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The amount of impairment recognized is the excess of the investment’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value.
The evaluation of the Company’s investment in unconsolidated entities includes certain critical assumptions made by management: (1) projected future distributions from the unconsolidated entities, (2) discount rates applied to the future distributions and (3) various other factors.
The Company’s assumptions on the projected future distributions from the unconsolidated entities are dependent on market conditions. Specifically, distributions are dependent on cash to be generated from the sale of inventory by the unconsolidated entities. Such inventory is also reviewed for potential impairment by the unconsolidated entities. The unconsolidated entities generally use a discount rate of approximately 20% in their reviews for impairment, subject to the perceived risks associated with the community’s cash flow streams relative to its inventory. If a valuation adjustment is recorded by an unconsolidated entity related to its assets, the Company’s proportionate share is reflected in the Company’s homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities with a corresponding decrease to its investment in unconsolidated entities. In certain instances, the Company may be required to record additional losses relating to its investment in unconsolidated entities, if the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated entity, or a portion thereof, is deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. These losses are included in Lennar Homebuilding other income, net.
Additionally, the Company considers various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include age of the venture, intent and ability for the Company to recover its investment in the entity, financial condition and long-term prospects of the entity, short-term liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity, trends in the general economic environment of the land, entitlement status of the land held by the unconsolidated entity, overall projected returns on investment, defaults under contracts with third parties (including bank debt), recoverability of the investment through future cash flows and relationships with the other partners and banks. If the Company believes that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, then no impairment is recorded.
REO represents real estate that the Rialto segment has taken control or has effective control of in partial or full satisfaction of loans receivable. At the time of acquisition of a property through foreclosure of a loan, REO is recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell if classified as held-for-sale or at fair value if classified as held-and-used, which becomes the property’s new basis. The fair values of these assets are determined in part by placing reliance on third party appraisals of the properties and/or internally prepared analyses of recent offers or prices on comparable properties in the proximate vicinity. The third party appraisals and internally developed analyses are significantly impacted by the local market economy, market supply and demand, competitive conditions and prices on comparable properties, adjusted for date of sale, location, property size, and

33



other factors. Each REO is unique and is analyzed in the context of the particular market where the property is located. In order to establish the significant assumptions for a particular REO, the Company analyzes historical trends, including trends achieved by our local homebuilding operations, if applicable, and current trends in the market and economy impacting the REO. Using available trend information, the Company then calculates its best estimate of fair value, which can include projected cash flows discounted at a rate the Company believes a market participant would determine to be commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. These methods use unobservable inputs to develop fair value for the Company’s REO. Due to the volume and variance of unobservable inputs, resulting from the uniqueness of each of the Company's REO, the Company does not use a standard range of unobservable inputs with respect to its evaluation of REO. However, for operating properties within REO, the Company may also use estimated cash flows multiplied by a capitalization rate to determine the fair value of the property. For the three months ended February 28, 2013, the capitalization rates used to estimate fair value ranged from 8% to 12% and varied based on the location of the asset, asset type and occupancy rates for the operating properties.
Changes in economic factors, consumer demand and market conditions, among other things, could materially impact estimates used in the third party appraisals and/or internally prepared analyses of recent offers or prices on comparable properties. Thus, estimates can differ significantly from the amounts ultimately realized by the Rialto segment from disposition of these assets. The amount by which the recorded investment in the loan is less than the REO’s fair value (net of estimated cost to sell if held-for-sale), is recorded as an unrealized gain on foreclosure in the Company’s statement of operations. The amount by which the recorded investment in the loan is greater than the REO’s fair value (net of estimated cost to sell if held-for-sale) is initially recorded as an impairment in the Company’s statement of operations.

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, if any, 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 the joint venture agreements of its joint ventures that were formed or that had reconsideration events during the three months ended February 28, 2013. Based on the Company's evaluation, there were no entities that consolidated during the three months ended February 28, 2013. In addition, during the three months ended February 28, 2013, there were no VIEs that were deconsolidated.
At February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the Company’s recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $577.3 million and $565.4 million, respectively, and the Rialto segment’s investments in unconsolidated entities as of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012 were $106.6 million and $108.1 million, respectively.
Consolidated VIEs
As of February 28, 2013, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were $1.8 billion and $435.3 million, respectively. Those assets are owned by, and those liabilities are obligations of, the VIEs, not the Company.

34



A VIE’s assets can only be used to settle obligations of that VIE. The VIEs are not guarantors of the Company’s senior notes or 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 agreements with a VIE’s banks, which may include debt guarantees and LC agreements, 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
The Company’s recorded investment in VIEs that are unconsolidated and its estimated maximum exposure to loss were as follows:

At February 28, 2013, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs is limited to its investment in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $15.0 million of recourse debt of one of the unconsolidated VIEs, which is included in the Company’s maximum recourse related to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, and $11.6 million of letters of credit outstanding for certain of the unconsolidated VIEs that in the event of default under its debt agreement the letter of credit will be drawn upon. At November 30, 2012, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs is limited to its investment in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $18.7 million of recourse debt of one of the unconsolidated VIEs, which is included in the Company’s maximum recourse related to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities and $4.8 million of letters of credit outstanding for certain of the unconsolidated VIEs that in the event of default under its debt agreement the letter of credit will be drawn upon.
(2)
At both February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the maximum recourse exposure to loss of Rialto’s investment in unconsolidated VIEs was its investments in unconsolidated entities. At February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012, investments in unconsolidated VIEs and Lennar’s maximum exposure to loss include $15.3 million and $15.0 million, respectively, related to Rialto’s investments held-to-maturity.
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, each of these VIEs has an executive committee made up of representatives from each partner. The members of the executive committee have equal votes 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 $15.0 million of recourse debt of one of the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated VIEs and $11.6 million of letters of credit outstanding for one of the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated VIEs that in the event of default under its debt agreement the letter of credit will be drawn upon. Except for the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated VIEs discussed above, the Company and the other partners did not guarantee any debt of the other unconsolidated VIEs. There are no liquidity arrangements or

35



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 three months ended February 28, 2013, the effect of consolidation of these option contracts was a net increase of $6.4 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 February 28, 2013. 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 February 28, 2013. 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. The increase to consolidated inventory not owned was offset by the Company exercising its options to acquire land under certain contracts previously consolidated resulting in a net decrease in consolidated inventory not owned of $1.4 million for the three months ended February 28, 2013.
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 $134.6 million and $176.7 million, respectively, at February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012. Additionally, the Company had posted $38.9 million and $42.5 million, respectively, of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain option contracts as of February 28, 2013 and November 30, 2012.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires the presentation of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 was effective for the Company’s quarter ended February 28, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, but required a change in the presentation of the Company’s comprehensive income from the notes of the consolidated financial statements to the face of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, (“ASU 2011-08”), which amends the guidance in ASC 350-20, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Goodwill. Under ASU 2011-08, entities have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit when testing goodwill for impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined, based on qualitative factors, to be more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, then entities are required to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revised Supplemental Financial Information
The indentures governing the Company’s 5.95% senior notes due 2013, 5.50% senior notes due 2014, 5.60% senior notes due 2015, 6.50% senior notes due 2016, 4.75% senior notes due 2017, 12.25% senior notes due 2017, 4.125% senior notes due 2018, 6.95% senior notes due 2018, 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2020, 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2020, 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2021 and 4.750% senior notes due 2022 require that, if any of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiaries, other than its finance company subsidiaries and foreign 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. The entities referred to as “guarantors” in the following tables are subsidiaries that were guaranteeing the senior notes because at February 28, 2013, they were guaranteeing Lennar Corporation's LC Agreement, its $200 million Letter of Credit Facility and its Credit Facility. The guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several and the guarantor subsidiaries are 100% directly or indirectly owned by Lennar Corporation. A subsidiary's guarantee will be suspended, and the subsidiary will cease to be a guarantor, at any time when it is not directly or indirectly guaranteeing at least $75 million of debt of Lennar Corporation, and a subsidiary will be released from its guarantee and any other obligations it may have regarding the senior notes if all or substantially all its assets, or all of its capital stock, are sold or otherwise disposed of.
For purposes of the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows included in the following supplemental financial information, the Company's accounting policy is to treat cash received by Lennar Corporation ("the Parent") from its subsidiaries, to the extent of net earnings from such subsidiaries, as a dividend and accordingly a return on investment within cash flows from operating activities. The cash outflows associated with the return on investment dividends received by the Parent are reflected by the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries in the Dividends line item within cash flows from financing activities. All other cash flows between the Parent and its subsidiaries represent the settlement of receivables and payables between such entities in conjunction with the Parent's centralized cash management arrangement with its subsidiaries, which operates with the characteristics of a revolving credit facility, and are accordingly reflected net in the Intercompany line item within cash flows from investing activities for the Parent and net in the Intercompany line item within cash flows from financing activities for the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries.
Subsequent to the issuance of the November 30, 2012 consolidated financial statements, the Company determined it needed to revise its disclosures and presentation with respect to its supplemental financial information included in this footnote. These revisions relate solely to transactions between Lennar Corporation and its subsidiaries and only impact the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements that are presented as supplemental information. They do not affect the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In the Company's Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations, the Company determined that it should make adjustments to (A) the Investment in Subsidiaries, Intercompany and Equity accounts of the Parent and its Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries primarily related to equity in earnings, distributions of earnings and other non-cash items between our subsidiaries that were incorrectly reflected in the Intercompany accounts instead of the Investments in Subsidiaries and Equity accounts as these accounts were previously aggregated and tracked together, as well as an adjustment to eliminate the portion of stockholders' equity at the Guarantor subsidiaries that are related to Non-Guarantor subsidiaries held directly by the Parent. In addition, the Company adjusted (B) the Parent's intercompany receivable from its subsidiaries from a contra-liability in the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets to an asset.

The Company has determined that in its Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows, it needed to adjust for (D) the misclassification of non-cash items between the Parent, Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries primarily related to the Company's equity in loss from unconsolidated entities between the Parent and Guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, the Company determined it needed to adjust for (E) the classification of the net intercompany funding activity of the Parent, which was previously included as an element of Cash Flows from Financing Activities, as an element of Cash Flows from Investing Activities. The Company also determined that it needed to adjust for (F) classification of distributions of earnings from the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries that were previously being netted in the Intercompany line item, as Dividends in a separate line item within Cash Flows from Financing Activities, as well as disclosing the distributions of earnings from Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries as a separate line item within Cash Flows from Operating Activities. The above corrections did not have any impact on the net cash activity of the Parent, Guarantor or Non-Guarantor subsidiaries within the Company's Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows.
