  (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Forms 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

  (c)   The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
PART III
NARRATIVE
     State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
     Lennar Corporation (the “Company”) is reviewing the classification of an item on its statements of cash flows. If a change in classification is made, cash flows from operating activities will increase and cash flows from investing activities will decrease, with no change in the Company's cash position. Additionally, the change in classification, if made, will have no effect on the Company’s balance sheets, statements of earnings or earnings per share amounts.
     Because the Company has not completed its review of the classification of this item on its statement of cash flows, the Company is filing this extension for the filing of its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended August 31, 2005, which was due today. The Company expects to file the Form 10-Q within the five-day extension period provided under Rule 12b-25.
     The classification under review concerns whether distributions of earnings from unconsolidated entities, which have previously been classified by the Company as cash flows from investing activities, should instead be classified as cash flows from operating activities.
PART IV

     (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification.

If the answer is no, identify report(s).
Yes   x   No    o
     (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
Yes   o   No    x

 


 

     If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
