INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This Annual Repmi, dated as of March 23, 2015 (the "Annual Report"), has been prepared by Lennar Homes of Califomia, Inc. ("Lennar") with respect to the following property only (collectively, the "Property"):

• Placer County Assessor's Parcel Number: 017-117-071 (herein, :'Parcel 071"); and

• Placer County Assessor's Parcel Numbers: 482-440-026; 482-440-039; 482-440-041; 482-440-042; 482-440-043; 482-440-044; 482-440-045; 482-440-046; 482-440-047; 482-440-050; 482-440-52; and 482-440-054 (herein, collectively, the "12 Lots").

All of the Property is located within the City of Roseville Diamond Creek Community Facilities District No. 1 (Public Facilities) (the "J>istrict"). Lennar believes that the Property was originally owned by Diamond Creek Partners, Ltd. ("Diamond Partners"), but was subsequently acquired by BBC Diamond Creek, LLC ("BBC"). The 12 Lots were part of a larger purchase of propeity from BBC that occtuTed in two separate closings held on December 21,2012 and February 8, 2013. Lennar acquired Parcel 071 from BBC on March 7, 2014.

In connection with the issuance of the bond captioned on the cover page of this Almual Report (the "Bonds"), a Continuing Disclosure Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2007 (the '~Disclosure Agreement"), was entered into by Diamond Partners. The Disclosure Agreement applied to the Property and other property owned by Diamond Partners at the time. It is unknown whether BBC assumed any continuing disclosure obligations from Diamond Partners with respect to the Property under the Disclosure Agreement.

Capitalized terms used in this Annual Report but not otherwise defmed have the meanings given to them in the Disclosure Agreement or the Official Statement, dated April 25, 2007 (the "Official Statement"), relating to the Bonds.

In acquiring the Property, Lennar was never required to execute, and Lennar has not executed, any fmm of assumption of the Disclosme Agreement. Moreover, Lennar has been infonncd by Willdan Financial Services (formerly MuniFinancial, Inc.), the Dissemination Agent under the Disclosure Agreement (herein, "Willdan"), that Willdan is unaware of any assumption or written continuing disclosme agreement between Willdan and Lennar related to the Bonds. Accordingly, Lennar is not obligated to provide continuing disclosure with respect to the Property in the District.

However, Lennar is voluntal'ily pi'Oviding this Annual Report, but witlt relpect to the Property only and only for the time pel·iodfrom and after Ma1·ch 23, 2015. All references in this Annual Report to the ownership of, and development and financing plans for, the Property are those of Lennar only, and not of Diamond Partners, BBC, or any prior owner of the Property. Lennar makes no representations about the accuracy or applicability of the information in the Official Statement regarding the Property, and makes no attempt to reconcile any development and

Page 4: ANNUAL REPORT OF LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA, INC

fmancing plans of Diamond Partners, BBC, or any prior owner of the Property with the development and financing plans of Lennar set forth in this Annual Report.

The provision of this Annuat Report does not imply or impose any ob]jgation on Lennar to update such infonnation. While this Annual Report provides the jnformation required by the Disclosure Agreement, Lennar is not bound by the terms of the Disclosure Agreement. Furthennore, Lennar may discontinue provjding such information provided in this Annual Report as to any or all of the Property at any time without notice.

Because Lennar is not a party to or obligated under 1he Disclosure Agreement, to the extent it provides Annual Reports on a voluntary basis, it will file Annual Reports directly with EMMA, and there is, and will be, no dissemination agent. Willdan will not be providing any such services (including, but not limited to, providing notification about the trulure, if any, to timely file an Annual Report) with respect to the Property or any Annual Report filed by Lennar.

Chateau 53 Spring 2013 September 2013 July 2015

[1] This date is an estimate only; actual close out will be determined by construction schedules, which in tum are determined by the real estate market.

Financing Plan for the 12 Lots: Lellllar is financing the development of the 12 Lots through internal sources and intends to use this source of funds, together with proceeds of future home sales, to finance residential home construction costs and carrying costs of its property, including property taxes and the Special Taxes while it owns the 12 Lots.

Notwithstanding the belief of Lennar that it will have sufficient funds to complete its planned development of the 12 Lots, no assurance can be given that sources o.f financing available to Lennar will be sufficient to complete the property development and home construction as currently anticipated While Lennar has made such internal financing available in the past, there can be no assurance whatsoever of its willingness or ability to do so in the future.
