[1] Changes in fair value for Rialto loans held-for-sale and Lennar Financial Services mortgage servicing rights are included in Rialto's and Lennar Financial Services' revenues, respectively. The changes in fair value in Lennar Homebuilding investments available-for-sale were not included in other comprehensive income (loss) because the changes in fair value were deferred as a result of the Company's continuing involvement in the underlying real estate collateral.
[2] For the nine months ended August 31, 2014, the Lennar Financial Services mortgage and servicing rights included the $5.9 million acquisition of a portfolio of mortgage servicing rights. Lennar Homebuilding investments available-for-sale represent investments in community development district bonds that mature at various dates between 2015 and 2039.
[3] The Lennar Homebuilding investments available-for-sale that were settled related to investments in community development district bonds, which were in default upon purchase and reissued by the municipalities prior to being settled with third parties.
