Item 5. Other Events.

         On February 17, 2000, Lennar Corporation announced that it had entered
into a Plan and Agreement of Merger, dated as of February 16, 2000, with U.S.
Home Corporation, pursuant to which U.S. Home will merge into, and become, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Lennar. In the merger, stockholders of U.S. Home will
receive approximately $36.00 for each U.S. Home share, of which half will be in
cash and half will be in Lennar common stock (with the common stock portion,
and therefore the total, subject to adjustment if the price of Lennar's common
stock is greater or lower than specified levels). U.S. Home stockholders will
have the right to elect to receive all of the merger consideration in cash or
stock, subject to prorations that would permit up to 55% of the total value of
the merger consideration to be cash. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached
hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

         Holders representing in excess of 50% of the voting power of Lennar's
capital stock have entered into a voting agreement, agreeing, among other
things, to vote their shares in favor of the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement. A copy of the voting agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit
10.2.

attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
