     Separation and Distribution  Agreement  dated  June  10,  1997 between

     merger,  reorganization  or  liquidation,  involving LNR or any of its

     corporate structure.

     i)   result in a class of equity securities of  LNR  becoming eligible
     for  termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of  the
     Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

     j)   result in any action similar to those enumerated above.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER.

     a)   The  Partnership  owns  4,397,930 shares of Class B Common Stock,
     which are convertible into 4,397,930  shares  of  Common Stock, which
     would be equal to 12.19% of the Common Stock.

     The Corporation has a 5% interest in the Partnership and as a  result
     is  deemed  to have an indirect interest in 5% of the 4,397,930 shares
     of Common Stock  issuable  upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock
     held  by  the  Partnership.  The  Corporation  also  has  an indirect
     interest  in 225,000  shares  of  Common  Stock  held  by  LMM Family
     Partnership,  L.P.  ("LMM"),  of  which  the  Corporation  is the sole
     general  partner  and  in  which  the  Corporation  has a 5% interest.
     Therefore, the Corporation has an indirect interest in 494,897 shares
     of Common Stock, which would be equal to 1.37% of the Common Stock.

     Leonard Miller, as the sole shareholder of the Corporation, has a 100%
     interest in the Corporation's 5% interest in the 4,397,930 shares  of
     Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock.  In


<PAGE>

     94%, and his wife  has  the  remaining  1%,  pecuniary interest in the
     4,397,930 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class
     B  Common  Stock held by the Partnership.  Therefore,  Mr. Miller  is
     deemed to be  the  beneficial  owner of the entire 4,397,930 shares of
     Class B Common Stock held by the  Partnership.   However, Mr.Miller's
     beneficial ownership in those shares is indirect, rather than direct.

     Leonard Miller, as the sole shareholder of the Corporation, has a 100%
     interest in the Corporation's 5% interest in the 5,500,000 shares  of
     Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock held
     by LMM.

     L.M. GRAT, a grantor retained annuity trust (the "Trust") as a limited
     partner  of  LMM,  has  virtually the entire pecuniary interest in the
     shares of Common Stock issuable  upon conversion of the Class B Common
     Stock held by LMM, other than that  held  by  the Corporation. During
     the  term of the Trust, Mr. Miller is to receive  annually  an amount
     equal  to  39.244% of the fair market value of the Trustassets at the
     time of the  Trust's  creation  out  of the Trust's income, and to the
     extent income is insufficient, out of the Trust's principal. Although
     the Trust is irrevocable, Mr. Miller has the right to substitute other
     assets for the limited partnership interest  in LMM as an asset of the
     Trust.

     As  a  result  of his ownership of all the outstanding  stock of  the
     Corporation and  his  beneficial  interest in the Trust, Mr. Miller is
     deemed to be the indirect beneficial  owner of the 5,500,000 shares of
     Class B Common Stock owned by LMM and the  5,500,000  shares of Common
     Stock issuable on conversion of that Class B Common Stock. Mr. Miller
     shares of Class  B  Common  Stock  owned  by  the  Partnership and the
     4,397,930 shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion  of that Class
     B Stock and may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 30,000 shares
     of Class B Common Stock held by Miller Foundation, Inc., of which  Mr.
     Miller  is  the  president,  and  the  30,000  shares  of common Stock
     issuable on conversion of that Class B Stock.

     b)   The  Partnership  has  the  power  to  vote  and  dispose of  the
     4,397,930 shares of Class B Common Stock held by it.

     The Corporation, as general partner of the Partnership,  has the power
     to  vote  the  shares  held  by  the  Partnership  and  to cause  the
     Partnership to dispose of those shares.

     Leonard Miller, as the sole shareholder and chief executive officer of
     the  Corporation, which is the general partner of the Partnership, has
     the sole  power  to  direct  the vote and disposition of the 4,397,930
     shares of Class B Common Stock  held  by  the  Partnership and of the
     5,500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock held by LMM.

     c)   On   June   10,  1997,  Lennar  entered  into  a Separation  and
     Distribution Agreement  with  LNR  providing  for  the spin-off of LNR
     through the distribution of all its Common Stock to  holders of Lennar
     Common  Stock and Lennar Class B Common Stock.  On October 31,  1997,
     the Spin-Off  was  completed.  Pursuant to the Spin-Off Agreement, all
     holders of Lennar Common  Stock  and  Lennar  Class  B Common Stock on
     Lennar Common Stock or Lennar Class B Common Stock, with the option to
     exchange  any  shares  of  Common Stock for shares of Class B  Common
     Stock.  The Partnership received  4,397,930  shares  Common Stock as a
     result  of  the  Spin-Off,  and elected to exchange those shares  for
     4,397,930 shares of Class B Common Stock.

     d)   No other person is known  to  have  the  right  to receive or the
     power  to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds  from
     the sale of, the securities.

     e)   Not applicable.

ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS,  ARRANGEMENTS,  UNDERSTANDINGS  OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
	  RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings  or relationships
     among  the persons named in Item 2 regarding the 4,397,930 shares  of
     Class B Common Stock held by the Partnership.
