At both May 31, 2012 and November 30, 2011, the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs is limited to its investment in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $25.4 million and $28.3 million, respectively, of recourse debt of one of the unconsolidated VIEs, which is included in the Company’s maximum recourse related to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities.

For Rialto’s investment in unconsolidated VIEs, the Company made a $75 million commitment to fund capital in the AB PPIP fund. As of May 31, 2012, the Company had contributed $69.4 million of the $75.0 million commitment, and it cannot walk away from its remaining commitment to fund capital. As of November 30, 2011, the Company had contributed $67.5 million of the $75.0 million commitment, and it cannot walk away from its remaining commitment to fund capital. Therefore, as of May 31, 2012 and November 30, 2011, the maximum exposure to loss for Rialto’s unconsolidated VIEs was higher than the carrying amount of its investments. In addition, at May 31, 2012 and November 30, 2011, investments in unconsolidated VIEs and Lennar’s maximum exposure to loss include $14.5 million and $14.1 million, respectively, related to Rialto’s investments held-to-maturity.
