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 16) in which Lennar Corporation is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (the “Company”). The Company’s investments in both unconsolidated entities in which a significant, but less than controlling, interest is held and in VIEs in which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary, are accounted for by the equity method. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2013. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made.

The Company has historically experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2014 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's results of operations. As a result of the Company's change in reportable segments in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2013 to reflect Lennar Multifamily as a separate reportable segment, the Company revised the presentation of certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform with the 2014 presentation.

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

(8) Lennar Multifamily

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

Evaluation of segment performance is based primarily on operating earnings (loss) before income taxes. Operations of the Company’s homebuilding segments primarily include the construction and sale of single-family attached and detached homes, as well as the purchase, development and sale of residential land directly and through the Company’s unconsolidated entities. Operating earnings (loss) for the homebuilding segments consist of revenues generated from the sales of homes and land, equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net, less the cost of homes sold and land sold, selling, general and administrative expenses 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, Tennessee 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 primarily mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for both buyers of the Company’s homes and others. The Lennar Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the loans it originates within a short period in the secondary mortgage market, the majority of which are sold on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, the Company retains potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that it breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. Lennar Financial Services’ operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from mortgage financing, title insurance 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 raising, investing and managing third party capital, originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans, as well as investing its own capital in real estate related mortgage loans, properties and related securities. Rialto utilizes its vertically-integrated investment and operating platform to underwrite, diligence, acquire, manage, workout and add value to diverse portfolios of real estate loans, properties and securities, as well as providing strategic real estate capital.

As of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the Company’s recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $697.6 million and $716.9 million, respectively, while the underlying equity in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013 was $768.7 million and $829.5 million, respectively. The basis difference is primarily as a result of the Company buying an interest in a partner's equity in a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity at a discount to book value and contributing non-monetary assets to an unconsolidated entity with a higher fair value than 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. ("MSR"), 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 remained on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet in consolidated inventory not owned. As of November 30, 2013, the portfolio of land (including land development costs) of $241.8 million was also reflected as inventory in the summarized condensed financial information

related to Lennar Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities above. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company entered into a new agreement with the joint venture, which required $155.0 million of inventory assets to remain consolidated due to the existence of option contracts on substantially all of the homesites and were reclassified into land and land under development. The remaining $70.3 million of inventory assets no longer under option by the Company were deconsolidated.

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

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



(In thousands)	August 31, 2014			November 30, 2013
The Company’s net recourse exposure	$	24,588		27,496
Reimbursement agreements from partners	—			13,500
The Company’s maximum recourse exposure	$	24,588		40,996
Non-recourse bank debt and other debt (partner’s share of several recourse)	$	56,970		61,008
Non-recourse land seller debt or other debt	4,033			20,454
Non-recourse debt with completion guarantees	344,933			245,821
Non-recourse debt without completion guarantees	173,610			82,178
Non-recourse debt to the Company	579,546			409,461
Total debt	$	604,134		450,457
The Company’s maximum recourse exposure as a % of total JV debt	4		%	9	%

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. As of both August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the Company did not have any maintenance guarantees related to its Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities. 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.

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

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

As of August 31, 2014, the fair values of the repayment guarantees and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of August 31, 2014, 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 12).

The Company has a stock repurchase program which permits the purchase of up to 20 million shares of its outstanding common stock. During both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no repurchases of common stock under the stock repurchase program. As of August 31, 2014, 6.2 million shares of common stock could be repurchased in the future under the program.

During the three months ended August 31, 2014, treasury stock increased by 0.3 million shares of Class A common stock due to activity related to the Company's equity compensation plan. During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, treasury stock decreased by 11.8 million shares of Class A common stock primarily due to the retirement of 11.7 million shares of Class A common stock authorized by the Company's Board of Directors, partially offset by activity related to the Company's equity compensation plan. The retirement of Class A common stock resulted in a reclass between treasury stock and additional paid-in capital within stockholders' equity. During the three months ended August 31, 2013, treasury stock increased by an immaterial amount of Class A common stock. During the nine months ended August 31, 2013, treasury stock decreased by 0.4 million shares of Class A common stock due to activity related to the Company's equity compensation plan.


(5)	Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014, the Company recorded a tax provision of $88.9 million and $215.8 million, respectively, primarily related to pre-tax earnings. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2013, the Company recorded a tax provision of $67.2 million and $83.1 million, respectively, which included a tax provision of $67.9 million and $150.2 million, respectively, primarily related to pre-tax earnings, partially offset by a reversal of the Company's valuation allowance of $0.7 million and $67.1 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 were 33.34% and 35.77%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 were 35.41% and 20.84%, respectively. The difference in tax rate between the two periods is primarily the result of a valuation allowance reversal during the nine months ended August 31, 2013.

In accordance with ASC 740, the Company evaluates its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if adjustments to its valuation allowance are required. ASC 740 requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established based on the consideration of all available positive and negative evidence using a “more likely than not” standard with respect to whether deferred tax assets will be realized. 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.

As of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the Company's deferred tax assets, net included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $313.2 million and $376.8 million, respectively. The net deferred tax assets included a valuation allowance of $10.6 million and $12.7 million as of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively, primarily related to state net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards that may expire due to short carryforward periods.

At August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the Company had federal tax effected NOL carryforwards totaling $2.4 million and $88.1 million, respectively, that may be carried forward up to 20 years to offset future taxable income and begin to expire in 2025. At August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the Company had state tax effected NOL carryforwards totaling $121.0 million and $143.6 million, respectively, that may be carried forward from 5 to 20 years, depending on the tax jurisdiction, with losses expiring between 2014 and 2033.

At August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the Company had $8.9 million and $10.5 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. At August 31, 2014, the Company had $31.0 million accrued for interest and penalties, of which $13.5 million was recorded during the nine months ended August 31, 2014. During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, the accrual for interest and penalties was reduced by $1.6 million, primarily as a result of settlement with state tax authorities. At November 30, 2013, the Company had $19.1 million accrued for interest and penalties.


(6)	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:

(1)	Interest on the 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 is included in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2013 because the holders of the 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 converted the notes into shares of Class A common stock on November 30, 2013.

For both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no options to purchase shares of Class A common stock that were outstanding and anti-dilutive.

At August 31, 2014, the Lennar Financial Services segment warehouse facilities were as follows:

(2)	Maximum aggregate commitment includes a $50 million accordion feature that is usable 10 days prior to quarter-end through 20 days after quarter end.

The Lennar Financial Services segment uses these facilities to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to investors and the proceeds are collected. The facilities are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. Borrowings under the facilities and their prior year predecessors were $516.1 million and $374.2 million at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $540.9 million and $452.5 million at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be paid off by selling the mortgage loans held-for-sale to investors and by collecting on receivables on loans sold but not yet paid. Without the facilities, the Lennar Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities.

The Lennar Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the loans it originates within a short period in the secondary mortgage market, the majority of which are sold on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, the Company retains potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that it breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. During recent years there has been an increased industry-wide effort

by purchasers to defray their losses in an 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 received and actual past repurchases and losses through the disposition of affected loans, as well as previous settlements. While the Company believes that it has adequately reserved for known losses and projected repurchase requests, given the volatility in the mortgage industry and the uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of these claims, if either actual repurchases or the losses incurred resolving those repurchases exceed the Company’s expectations, additional recourse expense may be incurred. Loan origination liabilities are included in Lennar Financial Services’ liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The activity in the Company’s loan origination liabilities was as follows:

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 was as follows:

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 ("FDIC Portfolios"), which retained 60% equity interests in the LLCs, for approximately $243 million (net of transaction costs and a $22 million working capital reserve). If the LLCs exceed expectations and meet certain internal rate of return and distribution thresholds, the Company’s equity interest in the LLCs could be reduced from 40% down to 30%, with a corresponding increase to the FDIC’s equity interest from 60% up to 70%. As these thresholds have not been met, distributions will continue being shared 60%/40% with the FDIC. During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, $146.7 million was distributed by the LLCs. The FDIC was distributed $88.0 million and Rialto, the parent company, was distributed $57.6 million.

The LLCs met the accounting definition of VIEs and since the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidated the LLCs. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact the LLCs' performance through Rialto's management and servicer contracts. At August 31, 2014, these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of $551.2 million and $23.6 million, respectively. At November 30, 2013, these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of $727.1 million and $20.2 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. As of both August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, there was $90.9 million outstanding related to the 5-year senior unsecured note.

In May 2014, Rialto issued $73.8 million principal amount of notes through a structured note offering (the "Structured Notes") collateralized by certain assets originally acquired in the Bank Portfolios transaction at a price of 100%, with an annual coupon rate of 2.85%. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses and hold backs for a cash reserve, were $69.1 million. The estimated final payment date of the Structured Notes is December 15, 2015. As of August 31, 2014, there was $55.0 million outstanding related to the Structured Notes.

The following table displays the loans receivable by aggregate collateral type:



(In thousands)	August 31, 2014		November 30, 2013
Land	$	101,047	166,950
Single family homes	28,698		59,647
Commercial properties	29,536		38,060
Other	15,005		13,735
Loans receivable, net	$	174,286	278,392

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 but can be reversed if conditions improve.

The outstanding balance and carrying value of loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 were as follows:



(In thousands)	August 31, 2014		November 30, 2013
Outstanding principal balance	$	438,046	586,901
Carrying value	$	169,636	270,075

The activity in the accretable yield for the FDIC Portfolios and Bank Portfolios during the nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:



	August 31,
(In thousands)	2014			2013
Accretable yield, beginning of period	$	73,144		112,899
Additions	8,785			53,652
Deletions	(25,621		)	(38,263	)
Accretions	(25,693		)	(38,455	)
Accretable yield, end of period	$	30,615		89,833

Additions primarily represent reclasses from nonaccretable yield to accretable yield on the portfolios. Deletions represent loan impairments, net of recoveries, 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 $6 million and $29 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 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 but can be reversed if conditions improve. The activity in the Company's allowance rollforward related to accrual loans was as follows:



	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	August 31,					August 31,
(In thousands)	2014			2013		2014		2013
Allowance on accrual loans, beginning of period	$	55,658		18,716		18,952		12,178
Provision for loan losses, net of recoveries	4,089			3,318		44,577		12,849
Charge-offs	(6,482		)	(1,940	)	(10,264	)	(4,933	)
Allowance on accrual loans, end of period	$	53,265		20,094		53,265		20,094

Nonaccrual — Loans in which forecasted principal and interest could not be reasonably estimated at the date of acquisition. 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 August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the Company had an allowance on these loans of $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Accrual and nonaccrual loans receivable by risk categories were as follows:

August 31, 2014



(In thousands)	Accrual		Nonaccrual	Total
Land	$	99,234	1,813	101,047
Single family homes	26,464		2,234	28,698
Commercial properties	28,933		603	29,536
Other	15,005		—	15,005
Loans receivable	$	169,636	4,650	174,286

November 30, 2013



(In thousands)	Accrual		Nonaccrual	Total
Land	$	164,397	2,553	166,950

Other	13,735		—	13,735
Loans receivable	$	270,075	8,317	278,392

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 suggests 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.

The following tables represent the activity in REO:

(1)	During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, the Rialto segment transferred certain properties from REO held-and-used, net to REO held-for-sale as a result of changes in the disposition strategy of the real estate assets.

For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014, the Company recorded net losses of $0.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively, from acquisitions of REO through foreclosure. For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2013, the Company recorded net gains of $2.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively, from acquisitions of REO through foreclosure. These net gains (losses) are recorded in Rialto Investments other income (expense), net.

Rialto Mortgage Finance

In July 2013, RMF was formed to originate and sell into securitizations five, seven and ten year commercial first mortgage loans, generally with principal amounts between $2 million and $75 million, which are secured by income producing

properties. During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of $1.1 billion and sold $983.6 million of loans into five separate securitizations. As of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, RMF had two warehouse repurchase financing agreements that mature in fiscal year 2015 with commitments totaling $650 million to help finance the loans it makes. Borrowings under these facilities were $71.4 million and $76.0 million as of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively.

In November 2013, the Rialto segment issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.00% senior notes due 2018 ("7.00% Senior Notes"), at a price of 100% in a private placement. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, were approximately $245 million. Rialto used a majority of the net proceeds of the sale of the 7.00% Senior Notes as working capital for RMF and used $100 million to repay sums that had been advanced to RMF from Lennar to enable it to begin originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans. In March 2014, the Rialto segment issued an additional $100 million of the 7.00% Senior Notes, at a price of 102.25% of their face value in a private offering with no registration rights. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, were approximately $102 million. Rialto used the net proceeds of the offering to provide additional working capital for RMF, and to make investments in the funds that Rialto manages, as well as for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 7.00% Senior Notes is due semi-annually with the first interest payment made on June 1, 2014. At August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the carrying amount of the 7.00% Senior Notes was $352.0 million and $250.0 million, respectively. Under the indenture, Rialto is subject to certain covenants limiting, among other things, Rialto’s ability to incur indebtedness, to make investments, to make distributions to, or enter into transactions with, Lennar or to create liens, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. Rialto also has quarterly and annual reporting requirements, similar to an SEC registrant, to holders of the 7.00% Senior Notes. The Company believes it was in compliance with its debt covenants at August 31, 2014.

Investments

All of Rialto's investments in funds have the attributes of an investment company in accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, as amended by ASU 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements, the attributes of which are different from the attributes that would cause a company to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result, the assets and liabilities of Rialto's investments are recorded at fair value with increases/decreases in fair value recorded in their respective statements of operations and the Company’s share is recorded in Rialto Investments equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities in the Company's statement of operations.

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

(1)	Other income, net, for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 included Rialto Real Estate Fund, LP, Rialto Real Estate Fund II, LP and other investments realized and unrealized gains on investments.

In 2010, the Rialto segment invested in non-investment grade commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) at a 55% discount to par value. The carrying value of the investment securities at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013 was $17.0 million and $16.1 million, respectively. These securities bear interest at a coupon rate of 4% and 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 and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013. The Rialto segment classified these securities as held-to-maturity based on its intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity.

In January 2014, Rialto acquired 100% of the loan servicing business segment of a financial services company (the "Servicer Provider") in which a subsidiary of Rialto had an approximately 5% investment, in exchange for its investment interest. The Servicer Provider has a business segment that provides service and infrastructure to the residential home loan market, which provides loan servicing support for all of the Company's owned and managed portfolios and asset management services for Rialto's small balance loan program. At acquisition date, the fair value of the assets acquired was $20.8 million, the goodwill recorded was $5.1 million and the fair value of the liabilities assumed was $17.6 million. As of November 30, 2013, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the Servicer Provider was $8.3 million.


(9)	Lennar Multifamily Segment

Since 2012, the Company has become actively involved, primarily through unconsolidated entities, in the development of multifamily rental properties. The Lennar Multifamily segment focuses on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets.

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



(In thousands)	August 31, 2014		November 30, 2013
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,881	519

	$	34,221	41,526

The unconsolidated entities in which the Lennar Multifamily segment has investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In connection with many of the loans to Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities, the Company (or entities related to them) has been required to give guarantees of completion and cost over-runs to the lenders and partners. Those completion guarantees may require that the guarantors complete the construction of the improvements for which the financing was obtained. 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. Additionally, the Company guarantees the construction costs of the project. All construction cost over-runs would be paid by the Company. Generally, these payments are increases to our investment in the entities and would increase our share of funds the entities distributes after the achievement of certain thresholds. As of August 31, 2014, the fair value of the completion guarantees was immaterial. As of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, Lennar Multifamily segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of $105.6 million and $51.6 million, respectively.

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

At August 31, 2014, the Company had a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), which includes a $263 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments, with certain financial institutions that matures in June 2018. In addition, the Company had $200 million of letter of credit facilities with a financial institution and a $140 million letter of credit facility with a different financial institution. The proceeds available under the Credit Facility, which are subject to specified conditions for borrowing, may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility agreement also provides that up to $500 million in commitments may be used for letters of credit. The Company believes it was in compliance with its debt covenants at August 31, 2014.

The Company’s performance letters of credit outstanding were $240.7 million and $160.6 million, respectively, at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013. The Company’s financial letters of credit outstanding were $181.1 million and $212.8 million, respectively, at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013. Performance letters of credit are generally posted with regulatory bodies to guarantee the Company’s performance of certain development and construction activities. Financial letters of credit are generally posted in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at August 31, 2014, 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 $862.3 million. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, these bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed. As of August 31, 2014, there were approximately $445.9 million, or 52%, of anticipated future costs to complete related to these site improvements. The Company does not presently anticipate any draws upon these bonds or letters of credit, but if any such draws occur, the Company does not believe they would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2014, the Company originally issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2019 (the "4.50% Senior Notes") at a price of 100%. The Company issued an additional $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.50% Senior Notes at a price of 100.5%. Proceeds from the offerings, after payment of expenses, were $495.7 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the sales of the 4.50% Senior Notes for working capital and general corporate purposes. Interest on the 4.50% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning June 15, 2014. The 4.50% Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries. At August 31, 2014, the carrying amount of the 4.50% Senior Notes was $500.5 million.

Subsequent to August 31, 2014, the Company retired its $250 million 5.50% senior notes due September 2014 for 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the maturity date.

At both August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the carrying and principal amount of the 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2021 (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 shares of Class A common stock 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. The 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries.

When the 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2020 (the “2.75% Convertible Senior Notes”) are converted, 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. Shares are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because even though it is the Company’s intent to settle the face value of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes in cash, the Company's volume weighted average stock price exceeded the conversion price. The Company’s volume weighted average stock price for the three months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 was $39.46 and $35.03, respectively, which exceeded the conversion price, thus 8.8 million shares and 7.4 million shares, respectively, were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The Company’s volume weighted average stock price for the nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 was $39.35 and $37.90, respectively, which exceeded the conversion price, thus 8.8 million shares and 8.5 million shares, respectively, 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 stock 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. 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 August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the principal amount of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes was $446.0 million. At August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the carrying amount of the equity component included in stockholders’ equity was $18.6 million and $30.0 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 $427.4 million and $416.0 million, respectively.

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.


(13)	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:

(15)	Financial Instruments

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, using available market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies might have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The table excludes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, net and accounts payable, all of which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments.

Lennar Multifamily notes payable	Level 2	$	—	—	13,858	13,858

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

Lennar Homebuilding and Lennar Multifamily—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, net 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 and other debts payable, the fair value is calculated based on discounted cash flows using the Company’s weighted average borrowing rate and for the warehouse repurchase financing agreements fair values approximate their carrying value due to their short maturities.

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:

(1)	The aggregate fair value of Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale of $540.0 million at August 31, 2014 exceeds their aggregate principal balance of $517.0 million by $23.0 million. The aggregate fair value of loans held-for-sale of $414.2 million at November 30, 2013 exceeds their aggregate principal balance of $399.0 million by $15.3 million.


(2)	The aggregate fair value of Rialto Investments loans held-for-sale of $164.9 million at August 31, 2014 exceeds their aggregate principal balance of $163.4 million by $1.6 million. The aggregate fair value of loans held-for-sale of $44.2 million at November 30, 2013 exceeds their aggregate principal balance of $44.0 million by $0.2 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:

Lennar Financial Services 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 August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013. Fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics.

Lennar Financial Services 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. 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 servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics. The fair value of the mortgage loan commitments and related servicing rights is included in Lennar Financial Services’ other assets as of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013.

Lennar Financial Services forward contracts— Fair value is based on quoted market prices for similar financial instruments.

Lennar Financial Services mortgage servicing rights — Lennar Financial Services records mortgage servicing rights when it sells loans on a servicing-retained basis, at the time of securitization or through the acquisition or assumption of the right to service a financial asset. The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated using third party valuations. The key assumptions, which are generally unobservable inputs, used in the valuation of the mortgage servicing rights include

mortgage prepayment rates, discount rates and delinquency rates. As of August 31, 2014, the key assumptions used in determining the fair value include an 11.8% mortgage prepayment rate, a 5.6% delinquency rate and a 12.0% discount rate.

Lennar Homebuilding investments available-for-sale— The fair value of these investments is based on third party valuations and/or estimated by the Company on the basis of discounted cash flows.

Rialto Investments loans held-for-sale— The fair value of loans held-for-sale is calculated from model-based techniques that use discounted cash flow assumptions and the Company’s own estimates of CMBS spreads, market interest rate movements and the underlying loan credit quality. Loan values are calculated by allocating the change in value of an assumed CMBS capital structure to each loan. The value of an assumed CMBS capital structure is calculated, generally, by discounting the cash flows associated with each CMBS class at market interest rates and at the Company’s own estimate of CMBS spreads. The Company estimates CMBS spreads by observing the pricing of recent CMBS offerings, secondary CMBS markets, changes in the CMBX index, and general capital and commercial real estate market conditions. Considerations in estimating CMBS spreads include comparing the Company’s current loan portfolio with comparable CMBS offerings containing loans with similar duration, credit quality and collateral composition. These methods use unobservable inputs in estimating a discount rate that is used to assign a value to each loan. While the cash payments on the loans are contractual, the discount rate used and assumptions regarding the relative size of each class in the CMBS capital structure can significantly impact the valuation. Therefore, the estimates used could differ materially from the fair value determined when the loans are sold to a securitization trust.

Rialto Investments interest rate swaps and swap futures— The fair value of interest rate swaps and swap futures (derivatives) is based on quoted market prices for identical investments traded in active markets.

Rialto Investments credit default swaps— The fair value of credit default swaps (derivatives) is based on quoted market prices for similar investments traded in active markets.

Gains (losses) of Lennar Financial Services financial instruments measured at fair value from initial measurement and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in the Lennar Financial Services segment’s operating earnings. Gains (losses) of Rialto financial instruments measured at fair value are recognized in the Rialto segment's operating earnings. Gains (losses) related to the Lennar Homebuilding investments available-for-sale during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 were deferred as a result of the Company's continuing involvement in the underlying real estate collateral, thus no gains (losses) were recognized during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013. The changes in fair values for Level 1 and Level 2 financial instruments measured on a recurring basis that are included in operating earnings are shown, by financial instrument and financial statement line item below:

Interest income on Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale and Rialto Investments loans held-for-sale measured at fair value is calculated based on the interest rate of the loan and recorded as revenues in the Lennar Financial Services’ statement of operations and Rialto Investments' statement of operations, respectively.

The Lennar Financial Services segment uses mandatory mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) forward commitments, option contracts and investor commitments to hedge its mortgage-related interest rate exposure. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk associated with MBS forward commitments, option contracts and loan sales transactions is managed by limiting the Company’s counterparties to investment banks, federally regulated bank affiliates and other investors meeting the Company’s credit standards. The segment’s risk, in the event of default

by the purchaser, is the difference between the contract price and fair value of the MBS forward commitments and option contracts. At August 31, 2014, the segment had open commitments amounting to $700.0 million to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through November 2014.

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. The Company discloses its accounting policy related to inventories and its review for indicators of impairments in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in its Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2013.

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 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.

As of August 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 600 and 512 active communities, excluding unconsolidated entities, respectively. In the nine months ended August 31, 2014, the Company reviewed its communities for potential indicators of

impairments and identified 46 communities with 2,037 homesites and a corresponding carrying value of $191.8 million as having potential indicators of impairment. Of those communities identified, the Company recorded no impairments for the nine months ended August 31, 2014.

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 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 nine months ended August 31, 2014, the capitalization rates used to estimate fair value ranged from 9% 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.


(16)	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 nine months ended August 31, 2014. Based on the Company's evaluation, it consolidated an entity in the first

quarter of 2014 within its Lennar Multifamily segment that had total combined assets of $22.9 million and subsequently deconsolidated the same entity in the second quarter of 2014 due to the receipt of previously required unfunded contributions by the joint venture partner during that period. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2014, the Company consolidated entities within its Lennar Multifamily segment that had combined total assets of $17.9 million. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company entered into a new option agreement with MSR, which resulted in the consolidation of certain VIEs because of the Company having options on substantially all of the homesites. The VIEs that consolidated had total combined assets of $158.5 million and non-recourse liabilities of $1.6 million.

At August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the Company’s recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $697.6 million and $716.9 million, respectively, the Rialto segment’s investments in unconsolidated entities were $176.1 million and $154.6 million, respectively, and the Lennar Multifamily segment's investments in unconsolidated entities were $92.9 million and $46.3 million, respectively.

Consolidated VIEs

As of August 31, 2014, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were $979.8 million and $142.7 million, respectively. As of November 30, 2013, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated were $1,195.3 million and $294.8 million, respectively. Those assets are owned by, and those liabilities are obligations of, the VIEs, not the Company.

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

Unconsolidated VIEs

The Company’s recorded investment in unconsolidated VIEs and its estimated maximum exposure to loss were as follows:

As of August 31, 2014



(In thousands)	Investments in Unconsolidated VIEs		Lennar’s Maximum Exposure to Loss
Lennar Homebuilding (1)	$	169,584	239,855

Lennar Multifamily (3)	25,874		55,002
	$	245,987	380,710

(1)

At August 31, 2014, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs is limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to a $70.0 million remaining commitment to fund an unconsolidated entity for further expenses up until the unconsolidated entity obtains permanent financing. At November 30, 2013, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $90.5 million remaining commitment to fund an unconsolidated entity that was formed in 2013 for further expenses up until the unconsolidated entity obtains permanent financing and $15.0 million of recourse debt of one of the unconsolidated VIEs, which is included in the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.


(2)	At both August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the maximum recourse exposure to loss of Rialto’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs is limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs. At August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, investments in

unconsolidated VIEs and Lennar’s maximum exposure to loss include $17.0 million and $16.1 million, respectively, related to Rialto’s investments held-to-maturity.

(3)

At August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Multifamily's investments in unconsolidated VIEs is limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $23.4 million and $28.0 million, respectively, of letters of credit outstanding for certain of the unconsolidated VIEs that could be drawn upon in the event of default under their debt agreements.

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.

The Company and other partners do not generally have an obligation to make capital contributions to the VIEs, except for $23.4 million of letters of credit outstanding for certain Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated VIEs that could be drawn upon in the event of default under their debt agreements. In addition, there are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to the VIEs except with regard to a $70.0 million remaining commitment to fund an unconsolidated entity for further expenses up until the unconsolidated entity obtains permanent financing. Except for the unconsolidated VIEs discussed above, the Company and the other partners did not guarantee any debt of the other unconsolidated 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 or makes a significant deposit for optioned land, it may need to consolidate the land under option at the purchase price of the optioned land. Due to the new agreement with MSR discussed in Note 3, $155.0 million of consolidated inventory not owned was reclassified to land and land under development and $70.3 million of consolidated inventory not owned was deconsolidated during in second quarter of 2014.

development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2014. 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 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 $72.5 million and $129.2 million at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. Additionally, the Company had posted $25.4 million and $29.9 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain option contracts as of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively.


(17)	Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company has been engaged in litigation since 2008 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland regarding whether the Company is required by a contract it entered into in 2005 to purchase a property in Maryland. After entering into the contract, the Company later renegotiated the purchase price, reducing it from $200 million to $134 million, $20 million of which has been paid and subsequently written off, leaving a balance of $114 million. In July 2014, the Court ruled that the Company may be obligated to purchase the property. As a result of changes in zoning for the property during the litigation, the Court has ordered further proceedings to determine whether the sellers are entitled to specific performance and, if so, whether a further reduction in the purchase price is required. In the event the Company is ordered to purchase the property, the Court may order the Company to pay interest and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes the preliminary decision is contrary to applicable law. The Company does not believe it is probable that a loss has occurred and, therefore, no liability has been recorded with respect to this case.


(18)	New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, (“ASU 2011-11”). which requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements of financial instruments and derivative instruments. In January 2013, this guidance was amended by ASU 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2013-01"). ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of ASU 2011-11 to certain derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions. The guidance was effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning December 1, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of this guidance, which is related to disclosure only, did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Liabilities, (“ASU 2013-04”). ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. ASU 2013-04 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2014 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, Investment Companies, (“ASU 2013-08”), which amends the criteria for an entity to qualify as an investment company under ASC 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, (“ASC 946”). While ASU 2013-08 is not expected to significantly change which entities qualify for the specialized investment company accounting in ASC 946, it (1) introduces new disclosure requirements that apply to all investment companies and (2) amends the measurement criteria for certain interests in other investment companies. ASU 2013-08 also amends the requirements in ASC 810 related to qualifying for the “investment company deferral” as well as the requirements in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, related to qualifying for the “net asset value practical expedient.” ASU 2013-08 was effective for the Company’s second fiscal quarter beginning March 1, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-08 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 is intended to end inconsistent practices regarding the presentation of a unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss ("NOL"), a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is available to reduce the taxable income or tax payable that would result from the dis- allowance of a tax position. ASU 2013-11 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2014 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU 2014-08 is intended to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhance disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that has a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. If the disposal does qualify as a discontinued operation, the entity will be required to provide expanded disclosures, as well as disclosure of the pretax income attributable to the disposal of a significant part of an entity that does not qualify as a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2014 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU No. 2014-09 will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) which include (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods The Company has the option to apply the provisions of ASU 2014-09 either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of applying this ASU recognized at the date of initial application. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments on whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and to provide related disclosures, if required. ASU 2014-15 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2016 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.


(19)	Supplemental Financial Information

The indentures governing the Company’s 5.50% senior notes due 2014, 5.60% senior notes due 2015, 6.50% senior notes due 2016, 12.25% senior notes due 2017, 4.75% senior notes due 2017, 6.95% senior notes due 2018, 4.125% senior notes due 2018, 4.50% senior notes due 2019, 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 August 31, 2014, they were guaranteeing Lennar Corporation's $200 million of letter of credit facilities, its $140 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included under Item 1 of this Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for our fiscal year ended November 30, 2013.

Some of the statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements concern expectations, beliefs, projections, plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report include statements regarding: our belief that the Company is well positioned to be able to continue to perform well in current market conditions; our belief that the recovery is continuing its progression at a slow and steady pace, and that it is supported on the downside by the significant production deficit that has been built over the past seven years; our expectation that we will continue to invest in carefully underwritten strategic land acquisitions; our belief that we will achieve another year of strong profits in fiscal 2014; our expectation that the main driver of our earnings will continue to be our homebuilding and Financial Services operations; our belief that the recovery will continue to benefit the rental market; our expectation regarding the pipeline of future projects in the Multifamily segment; our expectation that our ancillary businesses will enhance shareholder value; our intent to settle the fair value of the 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2020 in cash; our expectation regarding our variability in our quarterly results; our belief that Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") will be a significant contributor to our Rialto’s revenues in the near future; our expectations regarding the renewal or replacement of our warehouse facilities; our belief regarding draws upon our bonds or letters of credit, and our belief regarding the impact to the Company if there were such a draw; our belief that our operations and borrowing resources will provide for our current and long-term capital requirements at our anticipated levels of activity; and our estimates regarding certain tax matters and accounting valuations, including our expectations regarding the result of anticipated settlements with various taxing authorities.

These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We wish to caution readers that certain important factors could in the future affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Some of the most important factors that could prevent us from achieving our goals, and cause the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements and the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the following: a slowdown in the recovery of real estate markets across the nation, or any downturn in such markets; changes in general economic and financial conditions, and demographic trends, in the U.S. leading to decreased demand for our services and homes, lower profit margins and reduced access to credit; unfavorable or unanticipated outcomes in legal proceedings that substantially exceed our expectations; the possibility that we will incur non-recurring costs that may not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, but may have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements for a particular reporting period; decreased demand for our Multifamily rental properties; our ability to acquire land and pursue real estate opportunities at anticipated prices; increased competition for home sales from other sellers of new and resale homes; conditions in the capital, credit and financial markets, including mortgage lending standards, the availability of mortgage financing and mortgage foreclosure rates; changes in interest and unemployment rates, and inflation; a decline in the value of the land and home inventories we maintain or possible future write-downs of the book value of our real estate assets; increases in operating costs, including costs related to real estate taxes, construction materials, labor and insurance, and our ability to manage our cost structure, both in our Homebuilding and Multifamily businesses; our inability to maintain anticipated pricing levels and our inability to predict the effect of interest rates on demand; the ability and willingness of the participants in various joint ventures to honor their commitments; our ability to successfully and timely obtain land-use entitlements and construction financing, and address issues that arise in connection with the use and development of our land; natural disasters and other unforeseen damage for which our insurance may not provide adequate coverage; our inability to successfully grow our ancillary businesses; potential liability under environmental or construction laws, or other laws or regulations affecting our business; our ability to comply with the terms of our debt instruments; and our ability to successfully estimate the impact of certain regulatory, accounting and tax matters.

Please see our Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013 and other filings with the SEC for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties which could also affect our future results. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of those statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Outlook

Our third quarter results demonstrate that our Company is well positioned to be able to continue to perform well in current market conditions due to a carefully crafted and balanced operating strategy. The homebuilding recovery has continued its progression at a slow and steady pace, moving upward in a fairly narrow channel. The recovery has been supported on the downside by the significant production deficit that has resulted from the extremely low volumes of dwellings, both single family and multifamily, that has been built over the past seven years. At the same time the recovery has been, and likely will continue to be, constrained by a limited supply of available homes on the market, limited supply of land available to add to the supply of homes and constrained demand from purchasers who would like to buy but are unable to access the mortgage market. We believe the recovery will also continue to benefit the rental market as first time home purchasers find limited access to the for sale market as a result of high down payments and strict underwriting standards. The market continued to move slowly and steadily forward, driving volume upward as evidenced by our increase in new orders of 23% and still driving price upward, though at a somewhat slower pace, as evidenced by the increase in the average sales price of our deliveries of 14%.

Our principal focus in our homebuilding operations will continue to be on generating strong operating margins on the homes we sell by delivering homes from our excellent land positions, carefully balancing pricing power, sales incentives, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses to maximize our results. In addition, we plan to continue to invest in carefully underwritten strategic land acquisitions in well-positioned markets that we expect will continue to support our homebuilding operations going forward and help us increase operating leverage as our deliveries increase. We expect that our Company's main driver of earnings will continue to be our homebuilding and Financial Services operations. We are also focused on our multiple platforms including Rialto, Multifamily, and FivePoint as these ancillary businesses continue to mature and expand their franchises providing longer-term opportunities that we expect will enhance shareholder value. Overall, we are on track to achieve another year of strong profits in fiscal 2014.

(1) Results of Operations

Overview

We historically have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. As a result, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Our homebuilding business is seasonal in nature and generally reflects higher levels of new home order activity in our second fiscal quarter and increased deliveries in the second half of our fiscal year. However, periods of economic downturn in the industry, such as we have experienced in previous years, can alter seasonal patterns.

Our net earnings attributable to Lennar were $177.8 million, or $0.78 per diluted share ($0.87 per basic share), in the third quarter of 2014, compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of $120.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share ($0.62 per basic share), in the third quarter of 2013. Our net earnings attributable to Lennar were $393.6 million, or $1.73 per diluted share ($1.92 per basic share), in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, compared to net earnings attributable to Lennar of $315.6 million, or $1.42 per diluted share ($1.64 per basic share), in the nine months ended August 31, 2013, which included a partial reversal of the state deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $67.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share.

Three Months Ended August 31, 2014 versus Three Months Ended August 31, 2013

Revenues from home sales increased 25% in the third quarter of 2014 to $1.8 billion from $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2013. Revenues were higher primarily due to a 10% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and a 14% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 5,450 homes in the third quarter of 2014 from 4,972 homes in the third quarter of 2013. There was an increase in home deliveries in all our Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other. The increase in the number of deliveries was primarily driven by an increase in active communities over the last year. The average sales price of homes delivered increased to $332,000 in the third quarter of 2014 from $291,000 in the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to increased pricing in many of our markets as the market recovery continues. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $20,400 per home delivered in the third quarter of 2014, or 5.8% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $18,700 per home delivered in the third quarter of 2013, or 6.0% as a percentage of home sales revenue, and $20,300 per home delivered in the second quarter of 2014, or 5.9% as a percentage of home sales revenue.

Gross margins on home sales were $456.2 million, or 25.2%, in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $360.9 million, or 24.9%, in the third quarter of 2013. Gross margin percentage on home sales improved compared to the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered and a decrease in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenue from home sales, partially offset by an increase in materials, labor and land costs. Gross profits on land sales totaled $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $188.0 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $148.3 million in the third quarter of 2013. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 10.4% in the third quarter of 2014, from 10.2% in the third quarter of 2013 due to higher broker commissions as well as an increase in the number of active communities.

Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities was ($2.1) million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2013. In the third quarter of 2014, Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities related to our share of operating losses of Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities. In the third quarter of 2013, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities included our share of operating earnings of $8.6 million primarily related to sales of approximately 200 homesites to third parties by one unconsolidated entity for approximately $78 million, resulting in a gross profit of approximately $32 million.

Lennar Homebuilding other income (expense), net, totaled ($0.1) million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was $51.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 ($42.6 million was included in costs of homes sold, $0.4 million in costs of land sold and $8.4 million in other interest expense), compared to $54.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 ($31.6 million was included in costs of homes sold, $0.5 million in costs of land sold and $22.2 million in other interest expense). Interest expense decreased primarily due to an increase in qualifying assets eligible for interest capitalization, partially offset by an increase in our outstanding debt and home deliveries.

Operating earnings for our Lennar Financial Services segment were $27.1 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $23.5 million in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in profitability was primarily due to higher origination volume in the segment's mortgage operations and higher profit per transaction in the segment's title operations.

Operating earnings for our Rialto Investments ("Rialto") segment were $12.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 (which included $7.8 million of operating earnings and an add back of $4.5 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared to operating earnings of $1.5 million (which included $0.7 million of operating earnings and an add back of $0.8 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests) in the third quarter of 2013.

Rialto's revenues were $40.8 million in the third quarter of 2014, which consisted primarily of securitization revenue and interest income from Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF"), which primarily accounted for the increase in revenues in the third quarter of 2014, fees for managing and servicing assets and interest income associated with the Rialto segment's portfolio of real estate loans. This compared to revenues of $27.8 million in the third quarter of 2013, which consisted primarily of interest income associated with the segment’s portfolio of real estate loans and fees for managing and servicing assets.

Rialto's expenses were $47.6 million in the third quarter of 2014, which consisted primarily of costs related to its portfolio operations, RMF securitization expenses, loan impairments of $4.2 million primarily associated with the segment's FDIC loan portfolio (before noncontrolling interests), interest expense and other general and administrative expenses. This compared to expenses of $34.2 million in the third quarter of 2013, which consisted primarily of costs related to its portfolio operations, loan impairments of $3.5 million primarily associated with the segment's FDIC loan portfolio (before noncontrolling interests) and other general and administrative expenses. Expenses increased primarily due to increases in securitization expenses and general and administrative expenses related to RMF and interest expense related to Rialto's issuance of senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Rialto Investments equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities was $20.0 million and $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily related to our share of earnings from the Rialto real estate funds. The higher equity in earnings was related to increases in fair value and recognition of gains related to certain assets in the Rialto real estate funds.

In the third quarter of 2014, Rialto Investments other expense, net, was $5.3 million, which consisted primarily of $7.0 million of impairments on real estate owned (“REO”) and expenses related to owning and maintaining REO, partially offset by net realized gains on the sale of REO of $4.1 million and rental and other income. In the third quarter of 2013, Rialto Investments other income, net, was $1.8 million, which consisted primarily of net realized gains on the sale of REO of $9.7 million and rental income, partially offset by $5.3 million of impairments on REO and expenses related to owning and maintaining REO.

Operating earnings (loss) for our Lennar Multifamily segment were $8.5 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to ($5.6) million in the third quarter of 2013. In the third quarter of 2014, operating earnings primarily related to the segment's share of gains totaling $14.7 million as a result of the sale of two operating properties by Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities and management fee income, partially offset by general and administrative expenses. In the third quarter of 2013, operating loss in Lennar Multifamily primarily related to general and administrative expenses, partially offset by management fee income.

Corporate general and administrative expenses were $43.1 million, or 2.1% as a percentage of total revenues, in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $37.6 million, or 2.3% as a percentage of total revenues, in the third quarter of 2013. As a percentage of total revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses improved due to increased operating leverage.

Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were ($4.3) million and $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the third quarter of 2014 was primarily related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that we acquired in partnership with the FDIC. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests during the third quarter of 2013 were primarily related to our homebuilding operations, partially offset by a net loss related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans.

In the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, we had a tax provision of $88.9 million and $67.2 million, respectively, primarily related to the pre-tax earnings of the periods. Our overall effective income tax rates were 33.34% and 35.77% in the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Nine Months Ended August 31, 2014 versus Nine Months Ended August 31, 2013

Revenues from home sales increased 28% in the nine months ended August 31, 2014 to $4.6 billion from $3.6 billion in 2013. Revenues were higher primarily due to an 11% increase in the number of home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, and a 15% increase in the average sales price of homes delivered. New home deliveries, excluding unconsolidated entities, increased to 14,023 homes in the nine months ended August 31, 2014 from 12,595 homes in the nine months ended August 31, 2013. There was an increase in home deliveries in all our Homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other. The increase in the number of home deliveries was primarily driven by an increase in active communities over the last year. The average sales price of homes delivered increased to $325,000 in the nine months ended August 31, 2014 from $283,000 in the nine months ended August 31, 2013, primarily due to increased pricing in many of our markets as the market recovery continues. Sales incentives offered to homebuyers were $20,600 per home delivered in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, or 6.0% as a percentage of home sales revenue, compared to $20,400 per home delivered in the nine months ended August 31, 2013, or 6.7% as a percentage of home sales revenue. Currently, our biggest competition is from the sales of existing and foreclosed homes. We differentiate our new homes from those homes by issuing new home warranties, updated floor plans, our Everything's Included marketing program, community amenities and in certain markets by emphasizing energy efficiency and new technologies.

Gross margins on home sales were $1,151.8 million, or 25.3%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, compared to $853.2 million, or 24.0%, in the nine months ended August 31, 2013. Gross margin percentage on home sales improved compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2013, primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered, a decrease in sales incentives offered to homebuyers as a percentage of revenue from home sales and $15.1 million of insurance recoveries and other nonrecurring items, partially offset by an increase in materials, labor and land costs.

Gross profits on land sales totaled $26.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, compared to $9.0 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2013. Gross profits on land sales in the nine months ended August 31, 2014 included two land sale transactions related to land that was not under development at that time that generated $65.4 million of revenues and $8.0 million of gross profits.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $496.3 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, compared to $387.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2013. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 10.9% in both the nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013.

Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities was $3.3 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, compared to $23.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2013. In the nine months ended August 31, 2014, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities included our share of operating earnings of $4.7 million primarily related to a third-party land sale, partially offset by our share of operating losses of Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities. In the nine months ended August 31, 2013, Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities included our share of operating earnings of $21.6 million primarily related to sales of approximately 500 homesites to third parties by one unconsolidated entity for approximately $204 million, resulting in a gross profit of approximately $85 million.

Lennar Homebuilding other income, net, totaled $5.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, compared to $14.0 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2013.

Lennar Homebuilding interest expense was $141.6 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014 ($107.6 million was included in costs of homes sold, $2.6 million in costs of land sold and $31.4 million in other interest expense), compared to $155.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2013 ($80.0 million was included in costs of homes sold, $2.1 million in costs of land sold and $73.4 million in other interest expense). Interest expense decreased primarily due to an increase in qualifying assets eligible for interest capitalization, partially offset by an increase in our outstanding debt and home deliveries.

Operating earnings for our Lennar Financial Services segment were $49.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, compared to $68.8 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2013. The decrease in profitability was primarily due to a more competitive environment as a result of a significant decrease in refinance transactions, which led to a decrease in volume in the segment's title operations and lower profit per transaction in the segment's mortgage operations.

Operating earnings for our Rialto segment were $28.3 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014 (which included $7.7 million of operating earnings and an add back of $20.7 million of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared to operating earnings of $6.0 million (which included $10.6 million of operating earnings, partially offset by $4.6 million of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests) in the nine months ended August 31, 2013.

Rialto's revenues were $142.2 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, which consisted primarily of securitization revenue and interest income from RMF, fees for managing and servicing assets and interest income associated with the Rialto segment's portfolio of real estate loans. This compared to revenues of $79.1 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2013, which consisted primarily of interest income associated with the segment’s portfolio of real estate loans and fees for managing and servicing assets. Revenues increased primarily due to RMF and an increase in fees for managing and servicing assets.

Rialto's expenses were $174.8 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, which consisted primarily of loan impairments of $44.7 million, net of recoveries, primarily associated with the segment's FDIC loan portfolio (before noncontrolling interests), costs related to its portfolio operations, RMF securitization expenses, interest expense and other general and administrative expenses. This compared to expenses of $94.2 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2013, which consisted primarily of costs related to its portfolio operations, loan impairments of $14.1 million primarily associated with the segment's FDIC loan portfolio (before noncontrolling interests) and other general and administrative expenses. Expenses increased primarily due to an increase in loan impairments due to changes in the estimated cash flows expected to be collected on the segment's loan portfolios, increases in securitization expenses and general and administrative expenses related to RMF and interest expense related to Rialto's issuance of senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Rialto Investments equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities was $43.3 million and $15.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily related to our share of earnings from the Rialto real estate funds. The higher equity in earnings was related to increases in fair value and recognition of gains related to certain assets in the Rialto real estate funds.

Rialto Investments other expense, net, was $3.0 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, which consisted primarily of expenses related to owning and maintaining REO, $10.5 million of impairments on REO and other expenses, partially offset by net realized gains on the sale of REO of $27.8 million and rental and other income. In the nine months ended August 31, 2013, Rialto Investments other income, net, was $9.8 million, which consisted primarily of net realized gains on the sale of REO of $36.9 million and rental income, partially offset by expenses related to owning and maintaining REO and $9.9 million of impairments on REO.

Operating loss for our Lennar Multifamily segment was $4.9 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, compared to $10.4 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2013. For the nine months ended August 31, 2014, the operating loss in Lennar Multifamily primarily related to general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the segment's share of gains totaling $14.7 million as a result of the sale of two operating properties by Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities and management fee income. For the nine months ended August 31, 2013, the operating loss in Lennar Multifamily primarily related to general and administrative expenses, partially offset by management fee income.

Corporate general and administrative expenses were $119.5 million, or 2.3% as a percentage of total revenues, in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, compared to $102.7 million, or 2.6% as a percentage of total revenues, in the nine months ended August 31, 2013. As a percentage of total revenues, corporate general and administrative expenses improved due to increased operating leverage.

Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests were ($17.6) million and $6.3 million in the nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the nine months ended August 31, 2014 was primarily related to the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans that we acquired in partnership with the FDIC. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in the nine months ended August 31, 2013 were primarily related to our homebuilding operations and the FDIC's interest in the portfolio of real estate loans.

In the nine months ended August 31, 2014, we had a $215.8 million provision for income taxes related to pre-tax earnings of the period, compared to an $83.1 million net tax provision in the nine months ended August 31, 2013, which included a $150.2 million tax provision related to pre-tax earnings of the period, partially offset by the reversal of $67.1 million of our valuation allowance. Our overall effective income tax rates were 35.41% and 20.84% in the nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The difference in effective tax rates was primarily due to the valuation allowance reversal recorded in the nine months ended August 31, 2013.

Homebuilding Segments

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

At August 31, 2014, our reportable homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other consisted of homebuilding divisions 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, Tennessee 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.

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

Three Months Ended August 31, 2014 versus Three Months Ended August 31, 2013

Homebuilding East: Homebuilding revenues increased for the three months ended August 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2013, primarily due to an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states in the segment, except New Jersey and Georgia. The increase in the average sales price of homes delivered was primarily because we have been able to increase the sales price of homes delivered and/or reduce sales incentives in certain of our communities as the market recovery continues. The decrease in average sales price in New Jersey and Georgia was primarily due to a change in product mix due to the timing of deliveries in certain communities. Gross margin percentage on home sales for the three months ended August 31, 2014 were consistent with the same period last year despite a 10% increase in direct construction and land costs per home due to increases in labor, material and land costs.

This was offset by an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered and a greater percentage of deliveries from our new higher margin communities.

Homebuilding Southeast Florida: Homebuilding revenues increased for the nine months ended August 31, 2014 compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2013, primarily due to an increase in number of homes deliveries and in the average sales price of homes delivered in this segment.

Homebuilding revenues also increased due to an increase in the average sales price of homes delivered in all the states of Homebuilding Other, except Oregon. The increase in the number of home deliveries in Oregon was primarily driven by higher demand as the number of home deliveries per active community increased. The decrease in the number of home deliveries in Washington was primarily due to a higher mix of start-up communities, which are earlier in the life cycle of delivering homes than non start-up communities.

At August 31, 2014 and 2013, our backlog of sales contracts was 7,290 homes or $2.5 billion and 5,958 homes or

$1.9 billion, respectively. The increase in backlog was primarily attributable to an increase in new orders in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, compared to the nine months ended August 31, 2013.

Lennar Financial Services Segment

Our Lennar Financial Services reportable segment provides mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for both buyers of our homes and others. The Lennar Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the loans it originates within a short period in the secondary mortgage market, the majority of which are sold on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, we retain potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that we breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. The following table sets forth selected financial and operational information related to our Lennar Financial Services segment:

Rialto Investments Segment

Our Rialto reportable segment is a commercial real estate investment, investment management, and finance company focused on raising, investing and managing third party capital, originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans, as well as investing our own capital in real estate related mortgage loans, properties and related securities. Rialto utilizes its vertically-integrated investment and operating platform to underwrite, diligence, acquire, manage, workout and add value to diverse portfolios of real estate loans, properties and securities, as well as providing strategic real estate capital. Rialto's primary focus is to manage third party capital and to originate and sell into securitizations commercial mortgage loans. Rialto has commenced the workout and/or oversight of billions of dollars of real estate assets across the United States, including commercial and residential real estate loans and properties, as well as mortgage backed securities with the objective of generating superior, risk-adjusted returns. To date, many of the investment and management opportunities have arisen from the dislocation in the United States real estate markets and the restructuring and recapitalization of those markets. In July 2013, RMF was formed to originate and sell into securitizations five, seven and ten year commercial first mortgage loans, generally with principal amounts between $2 million and $75 million, which are secured by income producing properties. We expect this business to be a significant contributor to our Rialto revenues, at least in the near future.

Rialto is the sponsor of and an investor in private equity vehicles that invest in and manage real estate related assets. This includes:


•	Rialto Real Estate Fund, LP ("Fund I") that was formed in 2010 to which investors have committed and contributed a total of $700 million of equity (including $75 million by us);


•	Rialto Real Estate Fund II, LP ("Fund II") that was formed in 2013 with the objective to invest in distressed real estate assets and other related investments and that as of August 31, 2014 had equity commitments of $1.3 billion (including $100 million by us) and was closed to additional commitments; and


•	Rialto Mezzanine Partners Fund (the "Mezzanine Fund") that was formed in 2013 with a target of raising $300 million in capital (including $27 million committed by us) to invest in performing mezzanine commercial loans that have expected durations of one to two years and are secured by equity interests in the borrowing entity owning the real estate assets.

Rialto also earns fees for its role as a manager of these vehicles and for providing asset management and other services to those vehicles and other third parties.

Rialto’s operating earnings were as follows:

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, which retained 60% equity interest in the LLCs, for approximately $243 million (net of transaction costs and a $22 million working capital reserve). The LLCs held 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. If the LLCs exceed expectations and meet certain internal rate of return and distribution thresholds, our equity interest in the LLCs could be reduced from 40% down to 30%, with a corresponding increase to the FDIC’s equity interest from 60% up to 70%. As these thresholds have not been met, distributions will continue being shared 60%/40% with the FDIC. During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, $146.7 million was distributed by the LLCs. The FDIC was distributed $88.0 million and Rialto, the parent company, was distributed $57.6 million.

The LLCs met the accounting definition of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and since we were determined to be the primary beneficiary, we consolidated the LLCs. We were determined to be the primary beneficiary because we have the power to direct the activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact the LLCs' performance through Rialto's management and servicer contracts. At August 31, 2014, these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of $551.2 million and $23.6 million, respectively. At November 30, 2013, these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of $727.1 million and $20.2 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. We 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. As of both August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, there was $90.9 million outstanding related to the 5-year senior unsecured note.

Rialto Mortgage Finance

During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of $1.1 billion and sold $983.6 million of loans into five separate securitizations.

Lennar Multifamily Segment

Since 2012, we have been actively involved, primarily through unconsolidated entities, in the development of multifamily rental properties. The Lennar Multifamily segment focuses on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets.

As of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, our balance sheet had $205.0 million and $147.1 million, respectively, of assets related to the Lennar Multifamily segment, which included investments in unconsolidated entities of $92.9 million and $46.3 million, respectively. Our net investment in the Lennar Multifamily segment as of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013 was $159.5 million and $105.6 million, respectively. Our Lennar Multifamily segment had 22 and 13 unconsolidated entities, as of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. As of August 31, 2014, our Lennar Multifamily segment had interests in 19 communities with development costs of approximately $1.1 billion, of which 1 community was completed and operating, 2 communities were partially completed and leasing and 16 communities were under construction. Our Lennar Multifamily segment also had a pipeline of future projects totaling $3.9 billion in assets across a number of states that will be developed primarily by unconsolidated entities.

(2) Financial Condition and Capital Resources

At August 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents related to our homebuilding, financial services, Rialto and multifamily operations of $833.5 million, compared to $970.5 million at November 30, 2013 and $571.8 million at August 31, 2013.

We finance all of our activities including Homebuilding, financial services, Rialto, Multifamily and general operating needs primarily with cash generated from our operations, debt issuances and equity offerings, as well as cash borrowed under our warehouse lines of credit and our credit facility.

Operating Cash Flow Activities

During the nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, cash used in operating activities totaled $898.5 million and $1,017.7 million, respectively. During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, cash used in operating activities was impacted by an increase in inventories due to strategic land purchases and land development costs, and an increase in Lennar Financial Services and Rialto Investments loans held-for-sale, partially offset by our net earnings and an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2013, cash used in operating activities was impacted by an increase in inventories due to strategic land purchases and an increase in Rialto Investments loans held-for-sale, partially offset by our net earnings, an increase in accounts payable and other liabilities and a decrease in Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale.

Investing Cash Flow Activities

During the nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, cash provided by investing activities totaled $242.5 million and $434.0 million, respectively. During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, we received $168.9 million of proceeds from the sales of REO, $83.7 million of distributions of capital from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, $51.6 million of distributions of capital from Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities, $41.2 million of distributions of capital from Rialto Investments unconsolidated entities comprised of $17.5 million distributed by Fund I, $5.1 million distributed by Fund II, $9.0 million distributed by Mezzanine Fund and $9.6 million distributed by other investments, and $46.2 million of proceeds from the sales of Lennar Homebuilding investments available-for-sale. This was partially offset by $74.3 million of cash contributions to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital, $28.2 million of cash contributions to Rialto Investments unconsolidated entities comprised of $14.3 million contributed to the Mezzanine Fund and $13.9 million contributed to other investments, $25.1 million of cash contributions to Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital and $21.3 million for purchases of Lennar Homebuilding investment available-for-sale.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2013, we received $182.2 million of proceeds from the sales of REO and $49.6 million of principal payments on Rialto Investments loans receivable. In addition, cash increased due to a $145.8 million decrease in Rialto Investments defeasance cash, $140.5 million of distributions of capital from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities primarily related to a distribution from a new unconsolidated joint venture, $14.5 million of distributions of capital from Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities and $39.8 million of distributions of capital from Rialto Investments unconsolidated entities, primarily related to Fund I. This was partially offset by $45.9 million of cash contributions to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital, $14.4 million of cash contributions to Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities primarily for working capital and $41.5 million of cash contributions to Fund II.

We are continually exploring various types of transactions to manage our leverage and liquidity positions, take advantage of market opportunities and increase our revenues. These transactions may include the issuance of additional indebtedness, the repurchase of our outstanding indebtedness for cash or equity, the acquisition of homebuilders and other companies, the sale of our assets or lines of business, the issuance of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock, and/or pursuing other financing alternatives. In connection with some of our more recently formed businesses, such as Rialto and Multifamily, and our consolidated joint venture FivePoint Communities that manages several large properties in California, we may also consider other types of transactions such as restructurings, joint ventures, spin-offs or initial public offerings. If any of these transactions are implemented, they could materially impact the amount and composition of our indebtedness outstanding, increase our interest expense, dilute our existing stockholders and/or affect the book value of our assets. However, at August 31, 2014, we had no agreements or understandings regarding any significant transactions.

Financing Cash Flow Activities

During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, our cash provided by financing activities of $519.1 million was primarily attributed to the receipt of proceeds related to the sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2019 (the "4.50% Senior Notes"), proceeds related to the sale of $100 million aggregate principal amount of Rialto's 7.00% senior notes due 2018 (the "7.00% Senior Notes"), $73.8 million of proceeds related to the issuance of Rialto's 2.85% structured note offering (the "Structured Notes") and net borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") and under our Lennar Financial Services' 364-day warehouse repurchase facilities. The cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by principal payments on other borrowings and payments related to noncontrolling interests.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2013, our cash used in financing activities of $155.3 million was primarily attributed to principal payments on Rialto Investments notes payable, net repayments under our Lennar Financial Services’ 364-day warehouse repurchase facilities, principal payments on other borrowings, the redemption of our 5.95% senior notes due 2013 and payments related to buyouts of our partners' noncontrolling interests in two of our consolidated joint ventures. This was partially offset by the receipt of proceeds related to the sale of $275 million principal amount of our 4.125% senior notes due 2018 and the sale of an additional $225 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.750% senior notes due 2022, net borrowings under our Credit Facility, borrowings under Rialto Investments' warehouse repurchase facility and proceeds from others borrowings.

Debt to total capital ratios are financial measures commonly used in the homebuilding industry and are presented to assist in understanding the leverage of our Lennar Homebuilding operations. Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital and net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital are calculated as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	August 31, 2014			November 30, 2013		August 31, 2013
Lennar Homebuilding debt	$	4,692,880		4,194,432		4,610,756
Stockholders’ equity	4,581,479			4,168,901		3,714,146
Total capital	$	9,274,359		8,363,333		8,324,902
Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital	50.6		%	50.2	%	55.4	%
Lennar Homebuilding debt	$	4,692,880		4,194,432		4,610,756
Less: Lennar Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents	542,241			695,424		433,548
Net Lennar Homebuilding debt	$	4,150,639		3,499,008		4,177,208
Net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital (1)	47.5		%	45.6	%	52.9	%

(1)

Net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net Lennar Homebuilding debt (Lennar Homebuilding debt less Lennar Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net Lennar Homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity). We believe the ratio of net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital is a relevant and useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in our Lennar Homebuilding operations. However, because net Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, this non-GAAP financial measure should be used to supplement our GAAP results.

At August 31, 2014, Lennar Homebuilding debt to total capital was lower compared to August 31, 2013, primarily as as a result of an increase in stockholder’s equity primarily related to our net earnings and the conversion of our 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 from debt to equity, partially offset by an increase in Lennar Homebuilding debt due to the issuance of senior notes.

In addition to the use of capital in our homebuilding, financial services, Rialto and multifamily operations, we actively evaluate various other uses of capital. This may include acquisitions of, or investments in, other entities, the payment of dividends or repurchases of our outstanding common stock or debt. These activities may be funded through any combination of our credit facility, warehouse lines of credit, cash generated from operations, sales of assets or the issuance into capital markets of debt, common stock or preferred stock.

Our Lennar Homebuilding average debt outstanding was $4.7 billion with an average rate for interest incurred of 5.2% for the nine months ended August 31, 2014, compared to $4.4 billion with an average rate for interest incurred of 5.1% for the nine months ended August 31, 2013. Interest incurred related to Lennar Homebuilding debt for the nine months ended August 31, 2014 was $206.4 million, compared to $193.7 million in the same period last year.

At August 31, 2014, we had a $1.5 billion Credit Facility, which includes a $263 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments, with certain financial institutions that matures in June 2018. In addition, we had $200 million of letter of credit facilities with a financial institution and a $140 million letter of credit facility with a different financial institution. The proceeds available under the Credit Facility, which are subject to specified conditions for borrowing, may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility agreement also provides that up to $500 million in commitments may be used for letters of credit. As of August 31, 2014, the Company had $70 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. We may from time to time, borrow from and repay the Credit Facility. Consequently, the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility at the end of a period may not be reflective of the total amounts outstanding during the period. We believe that we were in compliance with our debt covenants at August 31, 2014.

Our performance letters of credit outstanding were $240.7 million and $160.6 million at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. Our financial letters of credit outstanding were $181.1 million and $212.8 million at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. Performance letters of credit are generally posted with regulatory bodies to guarantee our performance of certain development and construction activities. Financial letters of credit are generally posted in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral.

In February 2014, we originally issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes at a price of 100%. We issued an additional $100 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes at a price of 100.5%. Proceeds from the offerings, after payment of expenses, were $495.7 million. We used the net proceeds from the sales of the 4.50% Senior Notes for working capital and general corporate purposes. Interest on the 4.50% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning June 15, 2014. The 4.50% Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated, but are guaranteed by substantially all of our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries. At August 31, 2014, the carrying amount of the 4.50% Senior Notes was $500.5 million.

Subsequent to August 31, 2014, we retired our $250 million 5.50% senior notes due September 2014 for 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the maturity date.

Currently, substantially all of our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries are guaranteeing all our Senior Notes (the “Guaranteed Notes”). The guarantees are full and unconditional. The principal reason our 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries are guaranteeing the Guaranteed Notes is so holders of the Guaranteed Notes will have rights at least as great with regard to our subsidiaries as any other holders of a material amount of our unsecured debt. Therefore, the guarantees of the Guaranteed Notes will remain in effect only while the guarantor subsidiaries guarantee a material amount of the debt of Lennar Corporation, as a separate entity, to others. At any time when a guarantor subsidiary is no longer guaranteeing at least $75 million of Lennar Corporation’s debt other than the Guaranteed Notes, either directly or by guaranteeing other subsidiaries’ obligations as guarantors of Lennar Corporation’s debt, the guarantor subsidiary’s guarantee of the Guaranteed Notes will be suspended. Therefore, if the guarantor subsidiaries cease guaranteeing Lennar Corporation’s obligations under our Credit Facility and our letter of credit facilities and are not guarantors of any new debt, the guarantor subsidiaries’ guarantees of the Guaranteed Notes will be suspended until such time, if any, as they again are guaranteeing at least $75 million of Lennar Corporation’s debt other than the Guaranteed Notes.

If our guarantor subsidiaries are guaranteeing revolving credit lines totaling at least $75 million, we will treat the guarantees of the Guaranteed Notes as remaining in effect even during periods when Lennar Corporation’s borrowings under the revolving credit lines are less than $75 million. In addition, 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.

Under the amended Credit Facility agreement executed in June 2014 (the "Credit Agreement"), as of the end of each fiscal quarter, we are required to maintain minimum consolidated tangible net worth of approximately $1.5 billion plus the sum of 50% of the cumulative consolidated net income from February 29, 2012, if positive, and 50% of the net cash proceeds from any equity offerings from and after February 29, 2012. We are required to maintain a leverage ratio that shall not exceed 65% and may be reduced by 2.5% per quarter if our interest coverage ratio is less than 2.25:1.00 for two consecutive fiscal calendar quarters. The leverage ratio will have a floor of 60%. If our interest coverage ratio subsequently exceeds 2.25:1.00 for two consecutive fiscal calendar quarters, the leverage ratio we will be required to maintain will be increased by 2.5% per quarter to a maximum of 65%. As of the end of each fiscal quarter, we are also required to maintain either (1) liquidity in an amount equal to or greater than 1.00x consolidated interest incurred for the last twelve months then ended or (2) an interest coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1.50:1.00 for the last twelve months then ended.

The following are computations of our compliance with the minimum net worth test, maximum leverage ratio, and liquidity test, as calculated per the Credit Agreement as of August 31, 2014:

Our Lennar Financial Services segment uses these facilities to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to investors and the proceeds are collected. The facilities are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. Borrowings under the facilities and their prior year predecessors were $516.1 million and $374.2 million at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $540.9 million and $452.5 million, at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. Without the facilities, our Lennar Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities. Since our Lennar Financial Services segment’s borrowings under the warehouse repurchase facilities are generally repaid with the proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans and receivables on loans that secure those borrowings, the facilities are not likely to be a call on our current cash or future cash resources. If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be paid off by selling mortgage loans held-for-sale and by collecting on receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid.

At August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, our Rialto segment had two warehouse repurchase financing agreements that mature in fiscal year 2015 with commitments totaling $650 million to help finance the loans it makes. Rialto uses these warehouse repurchase financing agreements to finance five, seven and ten year commercial first mortgage loans that are originated by RMF, generally with principal amounts between $2 million and $75 million, which are secured by income producing properties. Borrowings under these facilities were $71.4 million and $76.0 million as of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively.

In March 2014, our Rialto segment issued an additional $100 million of its 7.00% Senior Notes at a price of 102.25% of their face value in a private offering with no registration rights. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses, were approximately $102 million. Rialto used the net proceeds of the offering to provide additional working capital for RMF, and to make investments in the funds that Rialto manages, as well as for general corporate purposes.

In May 2014, Rialto issued $73.8 million principal amount of the Structured Notes collateralized by certain assets originally acquired in the Bank Portfolios transaction at a price of 100%, with an annual coupon rate of 2.85%. Proceeds from the offering, after payment of expenses and hold backs for a cash reserve, were $69.1 million. The estimated final payment date of the Structured Notes is December 15, 2015. As of August 31, 2014, there was $55.0 million outstanding related to the Structured Notes.

Changes in Capital Structure

We have a stock repurchase program which permits the purchase of up to 20 million shares of our outstanding common stock. During both the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no repurchases of common stock under the stock repurchase program. As of August 31, 2014, 6.2 million shares of common stock could be repurchased in the future under the program.

During the three months ended August 31, 2014, treasury stock increased by 0.3 million shares of Class A common stock due to activity related to our equity compensation plan. During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, treasury stock decreased by 11.8 million shares of Class A common stock primarily due to the retirement of 11.7 million shares of Class A common stock authorized by the Company's Board of Directors, partially offset by activity related to our equity compensation plan. During the three months ended August 31, 2013, treasury stock increased by an immaterial amount of Class A common stock. During the nine months ended August 31, 2013, treasury stock decreased by 0.4 million shares of Class A common stock due to activity related to our equity compensation plan.

On July 24, 2014, we paid cash dividends of $0.04 per share for both our Class A and Class B common stock to holders of record at the close of business on July 10, 2014, as declared by our Board of Directors on June 25, 2014. On October 2, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share on both our Class A and Class B common stock, payable October 31, 2014 to holders of record at the close of business on October 17, 2014.

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

Lennar Homebuilding: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

At August 31, 2014, we had equity investments in 36 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities (of which 5 had recourse debt, 4 had non-recourse debt and 27 had no debt), compared to 36 homebuilding and land unconsolidated entities at November 30, 2013. Historically, we invested in unconsolidated entities that acquired and developed land (1) for our homebuilding operations or for sale to third parties or (2) for the construction of homes for sale to third-party homebuyers. Through these entities, we primarily sought to reduce and share our risk by limiting the amount of our capital invested in land, while obtaining access to potential future homesites and allowing us to participate in strategic ventures. The use of these entities also, in some instances, enabled us to acquire land to which we could not otherwise obtain access, or could not obtain access on as favorable terms, without the participation of a strategic partner. Participants in these joint ventures have been land owners/developers, other homebuilders and financial or strategic partners. Joint ventures with land owners/developers have given us access to homesites owned or controlled by our partners. Joint ventures with other homebuilders have provided us with the ability to bid jointly with our partners for large land parcels. Joint ventures with financial partners have allowed us to combine our homebuilding expertise with access to our partners’ capital. Joint ventures with strategic partners have allowed us to combine our homebuilding expertise with the specific expertise (e.g. commercial or infill experience) of our partner. Each joint venture is governed by an executive committee consisting of members from the partners.

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

As of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, our recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $697.6 million and $716.9 million, respectively, while the underlying equity in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013 was $768.7 million and $829.5 million, respectively. The basis difference is primarily as a result of us buying an interest in a partner's equity in a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity at a discount to book value and contributing non-monetary assets to an unconsolidated entity with a higher fair value than book value.

In fiscal 2007, we sold a portfolio of land to a strategic land investment venture with Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund II, L.P., an affiliate of Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., in which we have approximately a 20% ownership interest and 50% voting rights. Due to the nature of our continuing involvement, the transaction did not qualify as a sale by us under GAAP; thus, the inventory remained on our condensed consolidated balance sheet in consolidated inventory not owned. As of November 30, 2013, the portfolio of land (including land development costs) of $241.8 million was also reflected as inventory in the summarized condensed financial information related to Lennar Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities above. In the second quarter of 2014, we entered into a new agreement with the joint venture, which required $155.0 million of inventory assets to remain consolidated due to the existence of option contracts on substantially all of the homesites and were reclassified into land and land under development. The remaining $70.3 million of inventory assets no longer under option by us were deconsolidated.

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

Debt to total capital of the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which we have investments was calculated as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	August 31, 2014			November 30, 2013
Debt	$	604,134		450,457
Equity	2,339,757			2,513,329

Land development	$	530,269	537,548
Homebuilding	167,354		179,401
Total investments	$	697,623	716,949

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

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

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

The total debt of Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which we have investments, including Lennar's maximum recourse exposure, were as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	August 31, 2014			November 30, 2013
Lennar’s net recourse exposure	$	24,588		27,496
Reimbursement agreements from partners	—			13,500
Lennar’s maximum recourse exposure	$	24,588		40,996

Total debt	$	604,134		450,457
Lennar’s maximum recourse exposure as a % of total JV debt	4		%	9	%

During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, our maximum recourse exposure related to indebtedness of Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities decreased by $16.4 million, as a result of $1.4 million paid by us primarily through capital contributions to unconsolidated entities and $15.0 million primarily related to the joint ventures selling assets.

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



(In thousands)	August 31, 2014		November 30, 2013
Assets	$	1,649,985	1,656,065
Liabilities	$	532,554	470,875
Equity	$	1,117,431	1,185,090

In addition, in most instances in which we have guaranteed debt of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, our partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their share of the guarantee payment. Historically, we have had repayment guarantees and maintenance guarantees. In a repayment guarantee, we and our venture partners guarantee repayment of a portion or all of the debt in the event of a default before the lender would have to exercise its rights against the collateral. In the event of default, if our venture partner does not have adequate financial resources to meet its obligation under our reimbursement agreement, we may be liable for more than our proportionate share, up to our maximum recourse exposure, which is the full amount covered by the joint and several guarantee. As of both August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, we did not have any maintenance guarantees related to our Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities. 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.

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

If we are required to make a payment under any guarantee, the payment would generally constitute a capital contribution or loan to the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and increase our share of any funds the unconsolidated entity distributes.

As of August 31, 2014, the fair values of the repayment and completion guarantees were not material. We believe that as of August 31, 2014, in the event we become legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event under a guarantee, most of the time the collateral should be sufficient to repay at least a significant portion of the obligation or we and our partners would contribute additional capital into the venture. In certain instances, we have placed performance letters of credit and surety bonds with municipalities for our joint ventures.

In view of recent credit market conditions, it is not uncommon for lenders to real estate developers, including joint ventures in which we have interests, to assert non-monetary defaults (such as failure to meet construction completion deadlines or declines in the market value of collateral below required amounts) or technical monetary defaults against the real estate developers. In most instances, those asserted defaults are resolved by modifications of the loan terms, additional equity investments or other concessions by the borrowers. In addition, in some instances, real estate developers, including joint ventures in which we have interests, are forced to request temporary waivers of covenants in loan documents or modifications of loan terms, which are often, but not always obtained. However, in some instances developers, including joint ventures in which we have interests, are not able to meet their monetary obligations to lenders, and are thus declared in default. Because we sometimes guarantee all or portions of the obligations to lenders of joint ventures in which we have interests, when these joint ventures default on their obligations, lenders may or may not have claims against us. Normally, we do not make payments with regard to guarantees of joint venture obligations while the joint ventures are contesting assertions regarding sums due to their lenders. When it is determined that a joint venture is obligated to make a payment that we have guaranteed and the joint venture will not be able to make that payment, we accrue the amounts probable to be paid by us as a liability. Although we generally fulfill our guarantee obligations within a reasonable time after we determine that we are obligated with regard to them, at any point in time it is likely that we will have some balance of unpaid guarantee liability. At both August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, we had no liabilities accrued for unpaid guarantees of joint venture indebtedness on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the principal maturities of our Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities (“JVs”) debt as per current debt arrangements as of August 31, 2014 and does not represent estimates of future cash payments that will be made to reduce debt balances. Many JV loans have extension options in the loan agreements that would allow the loans to be extended into future years.

As manager of Fund I, we are entitled to receive additional revenue through a carried interest if Fund I meets certain performance thresholds. If Fund I had ceased operations and liquidated all its investments for their estimated fair values on August 31, 2014, we would have received $122.8 million with regard to our carried interest. However, Fund I did not cease operations and liquidate its investments on August 31, 2014, and the ultimate sum we will receive with regard to our carried interest in Fund I may be substantially higher or lower than $122.8 million. No amounts has been recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of operations with regard to our carried interest in Fund I.

(1)	Other income, net, for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 included Fund I, Fund II and other investments realized and unrealized gains on investments.

In 2010, the Rialto segment invested in CMBS at a 55% discount to par value. The carrying value of the investment securities at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013 was $17.0 million and $16.1 million, respectively. These securities bear interest at a coupon rate of 4% and 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 and nine months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013. The Rialto segment classified these securities as held-to-maturity based on its intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity.

In January 2014, Rialto acquired 100% of the loan servicing business segment of a financial services company (the "Servicer Provider") in which a subsidiary of Rialto had an approximately 5% investment, in exchange for its investment interest. The Services Provider has a business segment that provides service and infrastructure to the residential home loan market, which provides loan servicing support for all of the Company's owned and managed portfolios and asset management services for Rialto's small balance loan program. At acquisition date, the fair value of the assets acquired was $20.8 million, the goodwill recorded was $5.1 million and the fair value of the liabilities assumed was $17.6 million. As of November 30, 2013, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the Servicer Provider was $8.3 million.

Lennar Multifamily: Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

At August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, we had equity investments in 22 and 13 unconsolidated entities, respectively, (all of which had non-recourse debt). We invest in unconsolidated entities that acquire and develop land to construct multifamily rental properties. Through these entities, we are focusing on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets. Participants in these joint ventures have been financial partners. Joint ventures with financial partners have allowed us to combine our development and construction

expertise with access to our partners’ capital. Each joint venture is governed by an operating agreement that provides significant substantive participating voting rights on major decisions to our partners.

The joint ventures are typically structured through non-corporate entities in which control is shared with our venture partners. Each joint venture is unique in terms of its funding requirements and liquidity needs. We and the other joint venture participants typically make pro-rata cash contributions to the joint venture except for cost overruns relating to the construction of the project. In all cases, we have been required to provide guarantees of completion and cost over-runs to the lenders and partners. These completion guarantees may require us to complete the improvements for which the financing was obtained. Therefore, our risk is limited to our equity contribution, draws on letters of credit and potential future payments under the guarantees of completion and cost overruns. In certain instances, payments made under the cost overrun guarantee is considered a capital contribution.

Additionally, the joint ventures obtain third-party debt to fund a portion of the acquisition, development and construction costs of the rental projects. The joint venture agreements usually permit, but do not require, the joint ventures to make additional capital calls in the future. However, the joint venture debt does not have payment or maintenance guarantees. Neither we nor the other equity partners are a party to the debt instruments. In some cases, we agree to provide credit support in the form of a letter of credit provided to the bank.

We regularly monitor the results of our unconsolidated joint ventures and any trends that may affect their future liquidity or results of operations. We also monitor the performance of joint ventures in which we have investments on a regular basis to assess compliance with debt covenants. For those joint ventures not in compliance with the debt covenants, we evaluate and assess possible impairment of our investment. All of the joint ventures were in compliance with their debt covenants at August 31, 2014.

Under the terms of our joint venture agreements, we generally have the right to share in earnings and distributions of the entities on a pro-rata basis based on our ownership percentages. Some joint venture agreements provide for a different allocation of profit and cash distributions if and when the cumulative results of the joint venture exceed specified targets (such as a specified internal rate of return).

In many instances, we are designated as the development manager and/or the general contractor of the unconsolidated entity and receive fees for such services. In addition, we do not plan to enter into option and purchase contracts to acquire properties from our joint ventures.

Our arrangements with joint ventures generally do not restrict our activities or those of the other participants. However, in certain instances, we agree not to engage in some types of activities that may be viewed as competitive with the activities of these ventures in the localities where the joint ventures do business.

Material contractual obligations of our unconsolidated joint ventures primarily relate to the debt obligations described above. The joint ventures generally do not enter into lease commitments because the entities are managed either by us or the other partners, who supply the necessary facilities and employee services in exchange for market-based management fees. However, they do enter into management contracts with the participants who manage them.

As described above, the liquidity needs of joint ventures in which we have investments vary on an entity-by-entity basis depending on each entity’s purpose and the stage in its life cycle. During formation and development activities, the entities generally require cash, which is provided through a combination of equity contributions and debt financing, to fund acquisition, development and construction of multifamily rental properties. As the properties are completed and sold, cash generated will be available to repay debt and for distribution to the joint venture’s members. Thus, the amount of cash available for a joint venture to distribute at any given time is primarily a function of the scope of the joint venture’s activities and the stage in the joint venture’s life cycle.

We track our share of cumulative earnings and cumulative distributions of our joint ventures. For purposes of classifying distributions received from joint ventures in our statements of cash flows, cumulative distributions are treated as returns on capital to the extent of cumulative earnings and included in our consolidated statements of cash flows as cash flows from operating activities. Cumulative distributions in excess of our share of cumulative earnings are treated as returns of capital and included in our consolidated statements of cash flows as cash flows from investing activities.

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

Option Contracts

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

The table below indicates the number of homesites owned and homesites to which we had access through option contracts with third parties (“optioned”) or unconsolidated JVs (i.e., controlled homesites) at August 31, 2014 and 2013:



	Controlled Homesites
August 31, 2014	Optioned	JVs	Total	Owned Homesites	Total Homesites
East	8,266	188	8,454	47,763	56,217

Total homesites	20,190	7,395	27,585	119,243	146,828

We evaluate all option contracts for land to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary of certain of these option contracts. Although we do not have legal title to the optioned land, if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary or make a significant deposit for optioned land, we may need to consolidate the land under option at the purchase price of the optioned land. Due to the new agreement with MSR, $155.0 million of consolidated inventory not owned was reclassified to land and land under development and $70.3 million of consolidated inventory not owned was deconsolidated during the second quarter of 2014.

In addition to this transaction, during the nine months ended August 31, 2014, consolidated inventory not owned decreased by $179.0 million with a corresponding decrease to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the purchase of land that was the subject of a previously consolidated option contract. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory consolidated, we had a net reclass related to option deposits from consolidated inventory not owned to land under development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2014. The liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned primarily represent the difference between the option exercise prices for the optioned land and our cash deposits.

Our exposure to loss related to our option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of our non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling $72.5 million and $129.2 million at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. Additionally, we had posted $25.4 million and $29.9 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain option contracts as of August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes and our Rialto segment issued an additional $100 million of its 7.00% Senior Notes and $73.8 million of 2.85% Structured Notes.

The following summarizes our contractual debt obligations as of August 31, 2014:

(1)	Some of the senior notes and other debts payable are convertible senior notes, which have been included in this table based on maturity dates, but they are putable to, or callable by, us at earlier dates than the maturity dates disclosed in this table. Subsequent to August 31, 2014, we retired our $250 million 5.50% senior notes due September 2014.


(2)	Amount includes notes payable and other debts payable of $352.0 million related to Rialto's 7.00% Senior Notes, $90.9 million related to Rialto's 5-year senior unsecured note, $71.4 million related to the RMF warehouse repurchase financing agreements and $55.0 million related to Rialto's 2.85% Structured Notes with an estimated final payment date of December 15, 2015.


(3)	Interest commitments on variable interest-bearing debt are determined based on the interest rate as of August 31, 2014.


(4)	Amount includes $49.4 million of commitments to fund Rialto's Fund II, $3.8 million of commitments to fund Rialto's Mezzanine Fund, $24.4 million of commitments to fund loans to RMF and $70.0 million of remaining commitments to fund a homebuilding unconsolidated entity that was formed in 2013 for further expenses up until the unconsolidated entity obtains permanent financing.

We are subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts (including option contracts) for the purchase, development and sale of real estate in the routine conduct of our business. Option contracts for the purchase of land generally enable us to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties and unconsolidated entities until we have determined whether to exercise our options. This reduces our financial risk associated with land holdings. At August 31, 2014, we had access to 30,196 homesites through option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. At August 31, 2014, we had $72.5 million of non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to certain of these homesites and had posted $25.4 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain option contracts.

At August 31, 2014, we had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $421.8 million (which included the $25.4 million of letters of credit discussed above). These letters of credit are generally posted either with regulatory bodies to guarantee our performance of certain development and construction activities, or in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at August 31, 2014, we had outstanding performance and surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects in our joint ventures) of $862.3 million. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, these bonds are generally not released until all of the development and construction activities are completed. As of August 31, 2014, there were approximately $445.9 million, or 52%, of anticipated future costs to complete related to these site improvements. We do not presently anticipate any draws upon these bonds or letters of credit, but if any such draws occur, we do not believe they would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our Lennar Financial Services segment had a pipeline of loan applications in process of $1.7 billion at August 31, 2014. Loans in process for which interest rates were committed to the borrowers and builder commitments for loan programs totaled approximately $452.5 million as of August 31, 2014. Substantially all of these commitments were for periods of 60 days or less. Since a portion of these commitments is expected to expire without being exercised by the borrowers or because borrowers may not meet certain criteria at the time of closing, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Our Lennar Financial Services segment uses mandatory mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) forward commitments, option contracts and investor commitments to hedge our mortgage-related interest rate exposure. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk associated with MBS forward commitments, option

contracts and loan sales transactions is managed by limiting our counterparties to investment banks, federally regulated bank affiliates and other investors meeting our credit standards. Our risk, in the event of default by the purchaser, is the difference between the contract price and fair value of the MBS forward commitments and option contracts. At August 31, 2014, we had open commitments amounting to $700.0 million to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through November 2014.

(3) New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 18 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 of this Report for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements applicable to our Company.

(4) Critical Accounting Policies

We believe that there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended August 31, 2014 as compared to those we disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended November 30, 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

During the nine months ended August 31, 2014, we issued $500 million of 4.50% senior notes due June 2019, and our Rialto segment issued an additional $100 million of its 7.00% senior notes due 2018 and issued $73.8 million of 2.85% structured notes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated in an evaluation by our management of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our fiscal quarter that ended on August 31, 2014. Based on their participation in that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of August 31, 2014 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or furnished under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our CEO and CFO also participated in an evaluation by our management of any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended August 31, 2014. That evaluation did not identify any changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company has been engaged in litigation since 2008 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (U.S. Home Corporation v. Settlers Crossing, LLC, et al., Civil Action No. DKC 08-1863) regarding whether the Company is required by a contract it entered into in 2005 to purchase a property in Maryland. After entering into the contract, the Company later renegotiated the purchase price, reducing it from $200 million to $134 million, $20 million of which has been paid and subsequently written off, leaving a balance of $114 million. In July 2014, the Court ruled that the Company may be obligated to purchase the property. As a result of changes in zoning for the property during the litigation, the Court has ordered further proceedings to determine whether the sellers are entitled to specific performance and, if so, whether a further reduction in the purchase price is required. In the event the Company is ordered to purchase the property, the Court may order the Company to pay interest and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes the preliminary decision is contrary to applicable law.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2013.
