                       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, all wholly-owned subsidiaries and partnerships
in which a controlling interest is held (the "Company"). All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company's
investments in partnerships (and similar entities) in which less than a
controlling interest is held 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, 1996 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 rental
properties and land. This division also manages and participates in partnerships
with financial institutions. This division acquires, at a discount, issues of
the unrated portion of debt securities which are collateralized by commercial
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 these
securities. The division earns interest on its investment as well as fees for
the special servicing activities.

Financial services activities are conducted primarily through Lennar Financial
Services, Inc. ("LFS") and its subsidiaries. These companies arrange mortgage
financing, title insurance and closing services for Lennar homebuyers and
others; acquire, package and resell residential and commercial mortgage loans
and mortgage-backed securities and perform mortgage loan servicing activities.
This division also invests in issues of 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
share equivalents outstanding during the period.

(4)    ACCOUNTING CHANGES

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 121
requires companies to evaluate long-lived assets for impairment based on the
undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If a long-lived asset is identified
as impaired, the value of the asset must be reduced to its fair value. The
Company's land holdings and operating properties are considered long-lived
assets under this pronouncement. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 121 in the
first quarter of 1997 did not have any material affect on the Company's
financial position or results of operation.

In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 122,
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights". SFAS No. 122, among other
provisions, requires the recognition of originated mortgage servicing rights as
assets by allocating total costs incurred in originating a loan between the loan
and the servicing rights based on their relative fair values. Previously, the
cost of originated mortgage servicing rights was included with the costs of the
related loans and written off against income when the loans were sold. Also,
under SFAS No. 122, all capitalized mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for
impairment based on the excess of the carrying amount of the mortgage servicing
rights over their fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 122 effective
December 1, 1996. The adoption of this statement resulted in an increase of $.3
million of after-tax net earnings in the first quarter of 1997. In accordance
with SFAS No. 122, prior period financial statements have not been restated.

(5)      RESTRICTED CASH

Cash includes restricted deposits of $2.4 million and $2.5 million as of
February 28, 1997 and November 30, 1996, respectively. These balances are
comprised primarily of escrow deposits held related to sales of homes and
security deposits from tenants of commercial and apartment properties.

(6)      FINANCIAL SERVICES

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

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

CERTAIN STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THE FOLLOWING MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION MAY BE
"FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" AS DEFINED IN THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION
REFORM ACT OF 1995. SUCH STATEMENTS INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS,
UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER
MATERIALLY. SUCH FACTORS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, CHANGES IN GENERAL
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, MATERIAL AND LABOR COSTS, INTEREST RATES, CONSUMER
CONFIDENCE, COMPETITION, ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
AFFECTING THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS. SEE THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
FOR THE YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1996 FOR A FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THESE AND OTHER
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES APPLICABLE TO THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS.

(1)  MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW
Net earnings for the three months ended February 28, 1997 were $19.4 million,
compared to $17.2 million for the same period in 1996. The increase in 1997 was
due to higher operating earnings from the Homebuilding, Investment and Financial
Services Divisions which were partially offset by higher interest expense and
corporate general and administrative expenses.

HOMEBUILDING
The following tables set forth selected financial and operational information
related to the Homebuilding Division for the periods indicated (unaudited):

Homebuilding revenues in the three-month period ended February 28, 1997 were
$207.8 million, compared to $174.9 million during the same period of 1996.
Homebuilding revenues were higher in the first quarter of 1997 due to a higher
number of home deliveries and an increase in the average sales price. New home
deliveries for the 1997 three-month period were 1,257, compared to 1,176 for the
same period of 1996. The average sales price of a home delivered during the
three-month period ended February 28, 1997 was $156,700, compared to $144,000
for the corresponding period of the prior year. The higher average sales price
was due to a proportionately greater number of sales of higher-priced homes and
price increases for existing products.

The gross profit percentage from the sales of homes was 18.2% in the first
quarter of 1997, compared to 18.5% in the corresponding period of last year.
This decrease was primarily attributable to start-up costs related to the
division's expansion into California. Start-up costs, including field
supervisory salaries and construction overhead, are expensed as incurred.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Homebuilding Division were
$27.6 million and $20.0 million, respectively, in the three months ended
February 28, 1997 and during the same period of 1996. The higher level of
expenses in 1997 was attributable to additional expenses associated with the
increased sales revenues, additional expenses resulting from start-up costs in
California, as well as additional expenses associated with new communities in
the Company's other markets. As a result of these factors, selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total homebuilding revenues increased
from 11.5% in the first quarter of 1996 to 13.3% in the first quarter of 1997.
Increased revenues from California, in the second half of the year, should
result in a selling, general and administrative percentage which is more
consistent with 1996 levels.

Investment Division revenues increased to $39.7 million in the first quarter of
1997, compared to $31.6 million in the same period of 1996. Operating earnings
from the Investment Division increased to $18.6 million in the first three
months of fiscal 1997 from $16.2 million in the corresponding period of 1996.
The increase in revenues and operating earnings was mainly attributable to
increases in sales of other real estate and other revenues generated as a result
of the division's increased investment in commercial mortgage-backed securities.
Equity in earnings of partnerships and management fees were down slightly in the
first quarter of 1997 when compared to the first quarter of 1996. A significant
portion of partnership earnings and management fees are derived from loan
payoffs and asset sales which can vary substantially from period to period.

Operating earnings of the Financial Services Division increased to $9.0 million
in the first quarter of 1997, compared to $6.8 million in the same period of
last year. This increase was primarily attributable to $1.2 million in operating
earnings from the division's investment in commercial mortgage-backed securities
and commercial loans and $.5 million from the

implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights". Mortgage loan originations were
lower for the first quarter of 1997, when compared to the same period in 1996,
due to a decrease in the division's involvement in the less profitable wholesale
loan origination business.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense during the three-month period ended February 28, 1997 was $6.7
million, compared to $5.9 million in the corresponding period of the prior year.
The increase in interest expense was the result of higher debt levels.
Previously capitalized interest charged to expense during the first quarters of
1997 and 1996 was $3.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

(2)  MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION.

During the three months ended February 28, 1997, $54.0 million in cash was used
by the Company's operations, compared to $3.9 million provided during the
corresponding period of the prior year. The Company's primary use of cash was
$47.8 million to increase inventories through land purchases, land development
and construction. In addition, $16.0 million was used to decrease accounts
payable and other liabilities. These uses of cash were partially offset by $19.4
million provided by net earnings and $16.7 million provided by the decrease in
receivables.

In the fiscal 1996 period, sources of cash flow consisted primarily of net
earnings and a $25.5 million decrease in loans held for sale or disposition by
the Company's Financial Services Division. These sources of cash were partially
offset by the use of $15.3 million to increase inventories.

Cash used in investing activities was $19.9 million in the first quarter of
1997, compared to $124.1 million in the first quarter of 1996. During the 1997
quarter, $47.5 million was used to purchase investment securities (commercial
mortgage-backed securities) by both the Investment and Financial Services
Divisions and $11.0 million was used to acquire operating properties. These uses
of cash were partially offset by $21.2 million of cash provided by the Company's
investments in partnerships and $9.7 million of sales and principal payments
provided by the Company's portfolio of investment securities. In the 1996
period, the primary uses of cash were $108.5 million for the acquisition of the
assets and operations of Friendswood Development Company, $11.8 million for the
acquisition of operating properties and $26.7 million for the purchase of
investment securities (commercial mortgage-backed securities) by both the
Investment and Financial Services Divisions. These uses of cash were partially
offset by $15.4 million of cash provided by the Company's investments in
partnerships.

At February 28, 1997, the Company had an unsecured revolving credit agreement
with a five-year commitment of $450.0 million. Certain Financial Services
Division subsidiaries are co-borrowers under this facility and at February 28,
1997 their borrowings under this agreement amounted to $77.0 million. The total
amount outstanding under the Company's revolving credit agreement at February
28, 1997 was $356.1 million.
