                  LENNAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

         Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(1) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include the
accounts of Lennar Corporation and all wholly-owned subsidiaries (the
"Company").  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.  The Company's investments in partnerships are accounted for by the
equity method.  The financial statements have been prepared by management
without audit by independent public accountants and should be read in
conjunction with the November 30, 1994 audited financial statements in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.  However, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated
condensed financial statements have been made.

(2) BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company has three business segments: Homebuilding, Investment and Financial
Services.  The limited-purpose finance subsidiaries are not considered a
business segment.

Homebuilding operations include the construction and sale of single-family and
multi-family homes.  These activities also include the purchase, development and
sale of residential land.

The Investment Division is involved in the development, management and leasing,
as well as the acquisition and sale, of commercial and residential properties
and land.  This division also manages and participates in partnerships with
financial institutions.  During 1994, the Investment Division began acquiring,
at a discount, the unrated portions of debt securities which are collateralized
by real estate loans.  The division has only invested in securities in which it
is the special servicer on behalf of all the certificate holders of the
security.  The division earns interest on these investments as well as fees for
the special servicing activities.

Financial services activities are conducted primarily through Lennar Financial
Services, Inc. ("LFS") and five subsidiaries: Universal American Mortgage
Company, AmeriStar Financial Services, Inc., Universal Title Insurors, Inc.,
Loan Funding, Inc. and TitleAmerica Insurance Corporation.  These companies
arrange mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for Lennar
homebuyers and others, acquire, package and resell home mortgage loans and
perform mortgage loan servicing activities.  This division also invests in rated
portions of commercial real estate mortgage-backed securities for which Lennar's
Investment Division is the special servicer and an investor in the unrated
portion of those securities.

The limited-purpose finance subsidiaries of LFS have placed mortgages and other
receivables as collateral for various long-term financings.  These limited-
purpose finance subsidiaries are not considered a part of the financial services
operations and are reported separately.

(3) NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average number of the total of common shares, Class B common shares and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

                                    4

<PAGE>

(4) RESTRICTED CASH

Cash includes restricted deposits of $2.7 million and $3.7 million as of May 31,
1995 and November 30, 1994, respectively.  These balances are comprised
primarily of escrow deposits held related to condominium purchases and security
deposits from tenants of commercial and apartment properties.

(5) FINANCIAL SERVICES

The assets and liabilities related to the Company's financial services
operations (as described in Note 2) are summarized as follows:

(6) ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Effective December 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  This
change in accounting principle resulted in an increase to net earnings of $4.7
million in the first quarter of 1994. The change in accounting for income taxes
did not have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations.

The first quarter of 1994 also included a charge of $3.8 million (net of income
taxes of $2.4 million) for the cumulative effect on prior years of a change in
accounting for purchased mortgage servicing rights.  During the first quarter of
1994, the Company changed the way in which it evaluates these assets from an
undiscounted and disaggregated cash flow basis to a discounted and disaggregated
cash flow basis.

(7) SUMMARY OF NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

During the second quarter of 1995, the Company acquired commercial mortgage-
backed securities for $33.7 million.  Of this amount, $22.3 million was paid
in cash and the balance of $11.4 million was financed by the sellers.

(8) RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated condensed financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

(1)  MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW
Net earnings before the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles
were $19.7 million and $34.7 million, respectively, for the three-month and six-
month periods ended May 31, 1995 and $18.0 million and $32.8 million,
respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 1994.  The
increase in 1995 was due to higher operating earnings from the Investment and
Financial Services Divisions which were partially offset by lower operating
earnings from the Homebuilding Division and higher interest expense.  In the
first quarter of 1994, the Company made two one-time adjustments for changes in
accounting principles which increased net earnings by approximately $1.0
million.  There were no accounting changes in 1995.

</TABLE>

Homebuilding revenues in the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31,
1995 were $147.2 million and $285.6 million, respectively, compared to $164.3
million and $318.2 million, respectively, in the same periods of 1994.
Homebuilding revenues were lower in the 1995 periods due to a lower number of
home deliveries, partially offset by an increase in average sales prices. New
home deliveries for the 1995 three-month and six-month periods were 1,024 and
1,980, respectively, compared to 1,298 and 2,474, respectively, for the same
periods of fiscal 1994.  The average sales price of a home delivered during the
three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 1995 was $140,200 and $139,600,
respectively, compared to $125,200 and $125,300, respectively, in the
corresponding periods of the prior year.  The higher average sales price was due
to a proportionately greater number of sales of higher-priced homes, as well as
price increases for existing products.

Gross profit percentages from the sales of homes were 19.0% and 19.3%,
respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 1995,
compared to 20.3% and 20.2%, respectively, in the corresponding periods of last
year.  These decreases were attributable to an increase in land costs related to
the mix of homes delivered and field overhead expenses being absorbed by a fewer
number of home deliveries.  Field overhead expenses are charged to cost of homes
sold in the period incurred.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $17.6 million and
$33.4 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 1995,
respectively, from $16.1 million and $31.4 million, respectively, for the
comparable periods in fiscal 1994.  As a percentage of homebuilding revenues,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 11.9% and 11.7%,
respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 1995 from
9.8% and 9.9%, respectively, for the corresponding periods of the prior year.
These increases were primarily the result of a higher level of outside broker
participation in the sale of homes, expenses associated with the opening of new
communities and an increase in the amount of real estate tax expense
attributable to new land acquisitions.

                                    7

<PAGE>

At May 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $297 million (2,114 homes) of
sales contracts in backlog, compared to $270 million (2,070 homes) at the end of
the same period a year ago.  The increase in the backlog reflects the increase
in second quarter new orders that resulted as interest rates declined from
higher levels earlier this year.

</TABLE>

For the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 1995, Investment
Division revenues increased to $48.2 million and $76.8 million, respectively,
compared to $25.7 million and $46.2 million, respectively, in the same periods
of 1994. Operating earnings increased to $24.5 million and $39.8 million,
respectively, in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1995 from
$14.6 million and $24.9 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods of
1994. The increase in revenues and operating earnings during the second quarter
of 1995 was primarily attributable to sales of other real estate which included
a $16.5 million sale of a recreational facility.  This increase was partially
offset by a decline in equity in earnings of partnerships and management fees.
A significant portion of the partnerships earnings are derived from loan payoffs
and asset sales which can vary substantially from period to period.

For the first six months of 1995, revenues and earnings increased as a result of
increased sales of other real estate, increased rental income on operating
properties as a result of the acquisition of additional operating properties
throughout fiscal 1994 and an increase in equity in earnings of partnerships.
These increases were partially offset by slightly lower management fees in the
first six months of 1995 when compared to the same period of last year.

</TABLE>

Operating earnings of the Financial Services Division were $3.6 million and $6.9
million, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31,
1995, compared to $3.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively, for the same
periods last year.  The increases in operating earnings were primarily the
result of earnings from the division's investment in the rated portions of
commercial real estate mortgage-backed securities.  The Financial Services
Division began acquiring these investments during the third quarter of 1994.
Therefore, there was no comparable income in the first two quarters of last
year.  The additional earnings from these investments were partially offset by
lower earnings from other financial services' activities.  The division has also
reduced its general and administrative expenses in its production and support
areas in response to the industry wide decline in mortgage loan origination
volume.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense during the three-month and six-month periods ended May 31, 1995
was $4.2 million and $7.6 million, respectively, compared to $3.8 million and
$6.9 million, respectively, in  the corresponding periods of the prior year.
The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of higher debt levels
and interest rates.  Previously capitalized interest charged to interest expense
during the second quarter and first six months of 1995 was $3.8 million and $7.3
million, respectively, compared to $3.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively,
for the comparable periods last year.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Effective December 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  This
change in accounting principle resulted in an increase to net earnings of $4.7
million in the first quarter of 1994.  The change in accounting for income taxes
did not have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations.

The first quarter of 1994 also included a charge of $3.8 million (net of income
taxes of $2.4 million) for the cumulative effect on prior years of a change in
accounting for purchased mortgage servicing rights.  The Company changed the way
in which it evaluates these assets for impairment from an undiscounted cash flow
basis to a discounted cash flow basis.

(2)  MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

During the six months ended May 31, 1995, $18.1 million was used in the
Company's operations, compared to $58.1 million provided by operations during
the corresponding period of the prior year.  The primary use of cash in the
first half of 1995 was $37.9 million used to increase inventories through land
purchases, land development and construction.  Additionally, $8.2 million was
used for income taxes.  The use of cash was primarily offset by $11.3 million of
cash provided by a decrease in receivables and $1.4 million of cash provided by
an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

In the first six months of 1994, cash was primarily generated from net earnings,
a $92.0 million decrease in loans held for sale or disposition by the Financial
Services Division and $19.6 million provided by a decrease in receivables.
These increases in cash were partially offset by the use of $40.6 million to
increase inventories and $29.7 million to decrease accounts payable and accrued
liabilities.

Cash used in investing activities was $16.2 million in the first six months of
1995, compared to $27.2 million of cash used in the first six months of 1994.
During 1995, cash was primarily used to increase loans held for investment by
the Company's financial services operations, acquire additional commercial
mortgage-backed securities and for additions to operating properties.  These
uses of cash were partially offset by sales of operating properties and cash
provided by the Company's investments in partnerships.

During the 1994 period, the Company's primary use of cash in investing
activities was to fund increases in operating properties, increases in loans
held for investment by the Company's financial services operations and the
purchase of commercial mortgage-backed securities.

During the first quarter of 1995, the Company amended its revolving credit
agreement to provide for a five year commitment of $300 million.  Additionally,
in March 1995, the agreement was amended to increase the amount of the
commitment to $310 million.  At May 31, 1995, $247.7 million was outstanding on
the revolving credit agreement.
