FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
We make forward-looking statements about our business in our filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe the
expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, it is
possible they will prove not to have been correct, particularly given the
cyclical nature of the market for new homes. Among the factors which can affect
our future performance are changes in interest rates, changes in demand for
homes in areas in which we are developing communities, the availability and cost
of land suitable for residential development, changes in the costs of labor and
materials, competition, environmental factors and changes in government
regulations.

LENNAR
We are one of the nation's largest homebuilders and a provider of
residential financial services. Our homebuilding operations include the sale and
construction of single-family attached and detached homes, as well as the
purchase, development and sale of residential land directly and through
partnerships. Our financial services operations provide mortgage financing,
title insurance and closing services for our homebuyers and others, package and
resell residential mortgage loans, and provide high-speed Internet access, cable
television, alarm installation and home monitoring services to residents of our
communities and others.
On May 3, 2000, we acquired U.S. Home Corporation in a transaction in
which U.S. Home stockholders received a total of approximately $243 million in
cash and 13 million shares of our common stock, which were valued at
approximately $267 million at the time of the transaction.
Our strategy has included:
- acquiring land at what we believe to be favorable prices through
our own efforts and in partnerships;
- acquiring companies or their assets as a way of expanding our
homebuilding and financial services activities;
- focusing our homebuilding activities on the fastest growing home
markets;
- using our financial services subsidiaries to generate additional
earnings; and
- emphasizing customer care and satisfaction.
We are a Delaware corporation, with our principal executive offices at
700 N.W. 107th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33172. Our main telephone number at those
offices is (305) 559-4000.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Except as may be set forth in a particular prospectus supplement, we
will add the net proceeds from sales of securities to our general corporate
funds, which we may use to repay indebtedness, including indebtedness of our
wholly-owned subsidiaries, for acquisitions, or for other general corporate
purposes.

(1) For the purpose of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
"earnings" consist of income from continuing operations before income taxes
plus "fixed charges" and certain other adjustments. "Fixed charges" consist
of interest incurred on all indebtedness related to continuing operations
(including amortization of original issue discount) and the implied
interest component of our rent obligations. The implied interest component
of rent obligations for years prior to 1998 was not material.
There was no preferred stock outstanding for any of the periods shown
above. Accordingly, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and
preferred stock dividends was identical to the ratio of earnings to fixed
charges.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
We will issue the debt securities under an indenture dated as of
December 31, 1997 with Bank One Trust Company, N.A. (as successor in interest to
The First National Bank of Chicago), as trustee, which we may supplement from
time to time. The following paragraphs describe the provisions of the indenture.
We have filed the indenture as an exhibit to our Registration Statement, File
No. 333-73311 and you may inspect it as described under "Information We File" on
page 10 or at the office of the trustee.
GENERAL
The debt securities will be direct obligations of our company and may
be either senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities. Some or all of
the co-registrants under the registration statement which includes this
prospectus (each our direct or indirect subsidiary) may guaranty our payment of
debt securities issued under this prospectus. In addition, the debt securities
may be secured by some or all of our subsidiaries. The indenture does not limit
the principal amount of debt securities that we may issue. We may issue debt
securities in one or more series. A supplemental indenture will set forth
specific terms of each series of debt securities. There will be prospectus
supplements relating to particular series of debt securities. Each prospectus
supplement will describe:
- the title of the debt securities and whether the debt securities
are senior or subordinated debt securities;
- any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of a series of debt
securities which we may issue;
- the date or dates on which principal of the debt securities will
be payable and the amount of principal which will be payable;
- the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) at which the
debt securities will bear interest, if any, contingent interest,
if any, as well as the dates from which interest will accrue, the
dates on which interest will be payable, the persons to whom
interest will be payable, if other than the registered holders on
the record date, and the record date for the interest payable on
any payment date;
- the currency or currencies in which principal, premium, if any,
and interest, if any, will be paid;
- whether our obligations with regard to the debt securities are
guaranteed by some or all of our subsidiaries;
- whether our obligations with regard to the debt securities are
secured by shares of some or all of our subsidiaries;
- the place or places where principal, premium, if any, and
interest, if any, on the debt securities will be payable and
where debt securities which are in registered form can be
presented for registration of transfer or exchange;
- any provisions regarding our right to prepay debt securities or
of holders to require us to prepay debt securities;
- the right, if any, of holders of the debt securities to convert
them into common stock or other securities, including any
contingent conversion provisions;
2
9
- any provisions requiring or permitting us to make payments to a
sinking fund which will be used to redeem debt securities or a
purchase fund which will be used to purchase debt securities;
- any index or formula used to determine the required payments of
principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any;
- the percentage of the principal amount of the debt securities
which is payable if maturity of the debt securities is
accelerated because of a default;
- any special or modified events of default or covenants with
respect to the debt securities; and
- any other material terms of the debt securities.
The indenture does not contain any restrictions on the payment of
dividends or the repurchase of our securities or any financial covenants.
However, supplemental indentures relating to particular series of debt
securities may contain provisions of that type.
We may issue debt securities at a discount from, or at a premium to,
their stated principal amount. A prospectus supplement may describe federal
income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to a debt
security issued with original issue discount or a premium.
If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, with regard
to any series of debt securities is payable in a foreign currency, then in the
prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities, we will describe any
restrictions on currency conversions, tax considerations or other material
restrictions with respect to that issue of debt securities.
FORM OF DEBT SECURITIES
We may issue debt securities in certificated or uncertificated form, in
registered form with or without coupons or in bearer form with coupons, if
applicable.
We may issue debt securities of a series in the form of one or more
global certificates evidencing all or a portion of the aggregate principal
amount of the debt securities of that series. We may deposit the global
certificates with depositories, and the certificates may be subject to
restrictions upon transfer or upon exchange for debt securities in individually
certificated form.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
An event of default with respect to each series of debt securities will
include:
- our default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on
any debt securities of any series beyond any applicable grace
period;
- our default for 30 days or a period specified in a supplemental
indenture, which may be no period, in payment of any installment
of interest due with regard to debt securities of any series;
- our default for 60 days after notice in the observance or
performance of any other covenants in the indenture; and
- certain events involving our bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization.
Supplemental indentures relating to particular series of debt securities may
include other events of default.
3
10
The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the
holders of any series of debt securities of any default (except a default in
payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any) if the trustee
considers it in the interest of the holders of the series to do so.
The indenture provides that if any event of default has occurred and is
continuing, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the series of debt securities then outstanding may declare the principal of
and accrued interest, if any, on all the debt securities of that series to be
due and payable immediately. However, if we cure all defaults (except the
failure to pay principal, premium or interest which became due solely because of
the acceleration) and certain other conditions are met, that declaration may be
annulled and past defaults may be waived by the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the series of debt securities then outstanding.
The holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of a
series of debt securities will have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting proceedings for any remedy available to the trustee, subject
to certain limitations specified in the indenture.
A prospectus supplement will describe any additional or different
events of default which apply to any series of debt securities.
MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE
We and the trustee may:
- without the consent of holders of debt securities, modify the
indenture to cure errors or clarify ambiguities;
- with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the debt securities which are outstanding
under the indenture, modify the indenture or the rights of the
holders of the debt securities generally; and
- with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in
outstanding principal amount of any series of debt securities,
modify any supplemental indenture relating solely to that series
of debt securities or the rights of the holders of that series of
debt securities.
However, we may not:
- extend the fixed maturity of any debt securities, reduce the rate
or extend the time for payment of interest, if any, on any debt
securities, reduce the principal amount of any debt securities or
the premium, if any, on any debt securities, impair or affect the
right of a holder to institute suit for the payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest, if any, with regard to any debt
securities, change the currency in which any debt securities are
payable or impair the right, if any, to convert any debt
securities into common stock or any of our other securities,
without the consent of each holder of debt securities who will be
affected; or
- reduce the percentage of holders of debt securities required to
consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, without the
consent of the holders of all the then outstanding debt
securities or outstanding debt securities of the series which
will be affected.
MERGERS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
We may not consolidate with or merge into any other entity, or transfer
or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another
person, unless (1) the entity formed by the consolidation or into which we are
merged, or which acquires or leases our properties and assets substantially as
an entirety, assumes by a supplemental indenture all our obligations with regard
to outstanding debt
4
11
securities and our other covenants under the indenture, and (2) with regard to
each series of debt securities, immediately after giving effect to the
transaction, no event of default, with respect to that series of debt
securities, and no event which would become an event of default, will have
occurred and be continuing.
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Bank One Trust Company, N.A., the trustee under the indenture,
provides, and may continue to provide, loans and banking services to us in the
ordinary course of its business.
GOVERNING LAW
The indenture, each supplemental indenture, and the debt securities
issued under them will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of New York State.
DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
Each issue of warrants will be the subject of a warrant agreement which
will contain the terms of the warrants. We will distribute a prospectus
supplement with regard to each issue of warrants. Each prospectus supplement
will describe, as to the warrants to which it relates:

(which may be common stock, preferred shares, participating
preferred shares, debt securities, depositary shares or units
consisting of two or more of those types of securities);
- the exercise price of the warrants (which may be wholly or partly
payable in cash or wholly or partly payable with other types of

intended to prevent dilution of those conversion rights;
- any provisions by which we will be required or permitted to make
payments to a sinking fund which will be used to redeem shares of
the series or a purchase fund which will be used to purchase
shares of the series; and
- any other material terms of the series.
Holders of shares of preferred stock will not have preemptive rights.
COMMON STOCK
All the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and
nonassessable and are entitled to participate equally and ratably in dividends
and in distributions available for the common stock on liquidation. Each share
is entitled to one vote for the election of directors and upon all other matters
on which the common stockholders vote. Holders of common stock are not entitled
to cumulative votes in the election of our directors.
The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is EquiServe
Trust Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EquiServe Limited Partnership of
Canton, Massachusetts.
CLASS B COMMON STOCK
Our class B common stock is identical in every respect with our common
stock, except that (a) each share of class B common stock is entitled to ten
votes on each matter submitted to the vote of the common stockholders, while
each share of common stock is entitled to only one vote, (b) the cash dividends,
if any, paid with regard to the class B common stock in a year cannot be more
than 90% of the cash dividends, if any, paid with regard to the common stock in
that year, (c) a holder cannot transfer class B common stock, except to a
limited group of Permitted Transferees (primarily close relatives of the class B
stockholder, fiduciaries for the class B stockholder or for close relatives, and
entities of which the class B stockholder or close relatives are majority
owners), (d) class B common stock may at any time be converted into common
stock, but common stock may not be converted into class B common stock, (e)
amendments to provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation relating to the
common stock or the class B common stock require the approval of a majority of
the shares of common stock which are voted with regard to them (as well as
approval of a majority in voting power of all the outstanding common stock and
class B common stock combined), and (f) under Delaware law, certain matters
affecting the rights of holders of class B common stock may require approval of
the holders of the class B common stock voting as a separate class.
At May 31, 2001, Leonard Miller, our Chairman, owned, through a family
partnership, class B common stock which would be entitled to approximately 64%
of the combined votes which could be cast
6
13
by the holders of the common stock and the class B common stock. That gives Mr.
Miller the power to elect all our directors and to approve most matters which
are presented to our stockholders, even if no other stockholders vote in favor
of them. Mr. Miller has no current intention to convert a significant number of
shares of class B common stock into common stock, or to sell any common stock,
although, unless otherwise stated in a particular prospectus supplement, he
would be free to do so at any time.
The existence of class B common stock, which has substantially greater
voting rights than the common stock, probably would discourage non-negotiated
tender offers and other types of non-negotiated takeovers, if any were
contemplated. Mr. Miller's ownership might discourage someone from making a
significant equity investment in us, even if we needed the investment to meet
our obligations and to operate our business. Mr. Miller's ownership of class B
common stock would make it impossible for anyone to acquire voting control of us
as long as the total outstanding class B common stock is at least 10% of the
combined common stock of both classes and we have no other class of stock which
votes in the election of directors (if at any time the outstanding shares of
class B common stock are less than 10% of the outstanding shares of both classes
of common stock taken together, the class B common stock will automatically be
converted into common stock).
DESCRIPTION OF PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK
Our participating preferred stock is identical with the common stock in
every way, except that (a) no dividends may be paid with regard to the common
stock in a calendar year until the holders of the participating preferred stock
have received a total of $.0125 per share, then no dividends may be paid in that
year with regard to the participating preferred stock until the holders of the
common stock have received dividends totaling $.0125 per share, and then any
additional dividends in the year will be paid on an equal per share basis to the
holders of the participating preferred stock and of the common stock, (b) if we
are liquidated, none of our assets may be distributed to the holders of the
common stock until the holders of the participating preferred stock have
received assets totaling $10 per share, then no assets may be distributed to the
holders of the participating preferred stock until the holders of the common
stock have received assets totaling $10 per share, and then any further
liquidating distributions will be made on an equal per share basis to the
holders of the participating preferred stock and of the common stock, and (c)
holders of participating preferred stock will vote separately on corporate
actions which would change the participating preferred stock or would cause the
holders of the participating preferred stock to receive consideration in a
merger or similar transaction which is different from the consideration received
by the holders of the common stock.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES
We may issue depositary receipts representing interests in shares of
particular series of preferred stock which are called depositary shares. We will
deposit the preferred stock of a series which is the subject of depositary
shares with a depositary, which will hold that preferred stock for the benefit
of the holders of the depositary shares, in accordance with a deposit agreement
between the depositary and us. The holders of depositary shares will be entitled
to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock to which the depositary
shares relate, including dividend, voting, conversion, redemption and
liquidation rights, to the extent of their interests in that preferred stock.
While the deposit agreement relating to a particular series of
preferred stock may have provisions applicable solely to that series of
preferred stock, all deposit agreements relating to preferred stock we issue
will include the following provisions:
DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. Each time we pay a cash dividend or
make any other type of cash distribution with regard to preferred stock of a
series, the depositary will distribute to the holder of record of each
depositary share relating to that series of preferred stock an amount equal to
the dividend
7
14
or other distribution per depositary share the depositary receives. If there is
a distribution of property other than cash, the depositary either will
distribute the property to the holders of depositary shares in proportion to the
depositary shares held by each of them, or the depositary will, if we approve,
sell the property and distribute the net proceeds to the holders of the
depositary shares in proportion to the depositary shares held by them.
WITHDRAWAL OF PREFERRED STOCK. A holder of depositary shares will be
entitled to receive, upon surrender of depositary receipts representing
depositary shares, the number of shares of the applicable series of preferred
stock, and any money or other property, to which the depositary shares relate.
REDEMPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES. Whenever we redeem shares of preferred
stock held by a depositary, the depositary will be required to redeem, on the
same redemption date, depositary shares constituting, in total, the number of
shares of preferred stock held by the depositary which we redeem, subject to the
depositary's receiving the redemption price of those shares of preferred stock.
If fewer than all the depositary shares relating to a series are to be redeemed,
the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or by another
method we determine to be equitable.
VOTING. Any time we send a notice of meeting or other materials
relating to a meeting to the holders of a series of preferred stock to which
depositary shares relate, we will provide the depositary with sufficient copies
of those materials so they can be sent to all holders of record of the
applicable depositary shares, and the depositary will send those materials to
the holders of record of the depositary shares on the record date for the
meeting. The depositary will solicit voting instructions from holders of
depositary shares and will vote or not vote the preferred stock to which the
depositary shares relate in accordance with those instructions.
LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, the holder of each depositary share will be entitled to what the holder of
the depositary share would have received if the holder had owned the number of
shares of preferred stock which is represented by the depositary share.
CONVERSION. If shares of a series of preferred stock are convertible
into common stock or other of our securities or property, holders of depositary
shares relating to that series of preferred stock will, if they surrender
depositary receipts representing depositary shares and appropriate instructions
to convert them, receive the shares of common stock or other securities or
property into which the number of shares of preferred stock to which the
depositary shares relate could at the time be converted.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF A DEPOSIT AGREEMENT. We and the depositary
may amend a deposit agreement, except that an amendment which materially and
adversely affects the rights of holders of depositary shares, or would be
materially and adversely inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of
the preferred stock to which they relate, must be approved by holders of at
least two-thirds of the outstanding depositary shares. No amendment will impair
the right of a holder of depositary shares to surrender the depositary receipts
evidencing those depositary shares and receive the preferred stock to which they
relate, except as required to comply with law. We may terminate a deposit
agreement with the consent of holders of a majority of the depositary shares to
which it relates. Upon termination of a deposit agreement, the depositary will
make the whole or fractional shares of preferred stock to which the depositary
shares issued under the deposit agreement relate available to the holders of
those depositary shares. A deposit agreement will automatically terminate if:
- all outstanding depositary shares to which it relates have been
redeemed or converted or
- the depositary has made a final distribution to the holders of
the depositary shares issued under the deposit agreement upon our
liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
8
15
MISCELLANEOUS. There will be provisions (i) requiring the depositary to
forward to holders of record of depositary shares any reports or communications
from us which the depositary receives with respect to the preferred stock to
which the depositary shares relate, (ii) regarding compensation of the
depositary, (iii) regarding resignation of the depositary, (iv) limiting our
liability and the liability of the depositary under the deposit agreement
(usually to failure to act in good faith, gross negligence or willful
misconduct) and (v) indemnifying the depositary against certain possible
liabilities.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii)
above shall not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed by us pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment will be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each filing of our annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in
this registration statement will be deemed to be a new registration statement
II-2
19
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(5) That, (i) for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus
filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and
contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part
of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective and (ii)
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(6) To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility
of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939 in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the
Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant
to the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, or otherwise, we have
been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors,
officers or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion
of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and we will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
