Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 2, 2000, Lennar Corporation acquired U.S. Home Corporation in a
transaction by which U.S. Home was merged into, and became, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Lennar. As a result of the merger, most U.S. Home stockholders
received, for each U.S. Home share they owned, $18 in cash and .96 shares of
Lennar common stock. However, U.S. Home stockholders who elected to receive
their entire consideration in cash received $36 in cash. Because of limitations
on the number of Lennar shares to be issued in the transaction, U.S. Home
stockholders who elected to receive their entire consideration in Lennar common
stock received, for each U.S. Home share they had owned, 1.492 shares of Lennar
common stock and $8.03 in cash.

Information about the transaction is incorporated by reference to Lennar's
Registration Statement, Commission File No. 333-32860.
