AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
June 30, 2006, June 30, 2005 (Unaudited) and March 31, 2006
 
 
1. Basis of Presentation
 
The first fiscal quarter for AMERCO ends on the 30th of June for each year that is referenced. Our insurance company subsidiaries have a first quarter that ends on the 31st of March for each year that is referenced. They have been consolidated on that basis. Consequently, all references to our insurance subsidiaries’ years 2006 and 2005 correspond to the Company’s fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies have been re-measured into U.S. dollars. Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
 
The consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, and the balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 include the accounts of AMERCO, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and SAC Holding II Corporation and its subsidiaries (“SAC Holding II”).
 
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flow for the first quarters of fiscal 2007 and 2006 are unaudited.
 
In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information in this 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and financial statements and notes thereto included in the AMERCO 2006 Form 10-K.
 
Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Description of Legal Entities
 
AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (“AMERCO”), is the holding company for:
 
U-Haul International, Inc. (“U-Haul”),
 
Amerco Real Estate Company (“Real Estate”),
 
Republic Western Insurance Company (“RepWest”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary
 
North American Fire & Casualty Insurance Company (“NAFCIC”),
 
Oxford Life Insurance Company (“Oxford”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
 
North American Insurance Company (“NAI”)
 
Christian Fidelity Life Insurance Company (“CFLIC”)
 
Dallas General Life Insurance Company (“DGLIC”),
 
Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to AMERCO and all of its legal subsidiaries.

Description of Operating Segments
 
AMERCO has four reportable segments. They are Moving and Storage Operations, Property and Casualty Insurance, Life Insurance and SAC Holding II.
 
Moving and Storage Operations include AMERCO, U-Haul and Real Estate and the wholly-owned subsidiaries of U-Haul and Real Estate and consist of the rental of trucks and trailers, sales of moving supplies, sales of towing accessories, sales of propane, the rental of self-storage spaces to the “do-it-yourself” mover and management of self-storage properties owned by others. Operations are conducted under the registered trade name U-Haul® throughout the United States and Canada.
 
Property and Casualty Insurance includes RepWest and its wholly-owned subsidiary. RepWest provides loss adjusting and claims handling for U-Haul through regional offices across North America. RepWest also underwrites components of the Safemove, Safetow and Safestor protection packages to U-Haul customers.
 
Life Insurance includes Oxford and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Oxford originates and reinsures annuities, ordinary life, group life, disability coverage and Medicare supplement insurance. Oxford also administers the self-insured employee health and dental plans for Arizona employees of the Company.
 
SAC Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries, and SAC Holding II Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “SAC Holdings”, own self-storage properties that are managed by U-Haul under property management agreements and act as independent U-Haul rental equipment dealers. AMERCO, through its subsidiaries, has contractual interests in certain SAC Holdings’ properties entitling AMERCO to potential future income based on the financial performance of these properties. With respect to SAC Holding II, AMERCO is considered the primary beneficiary of these contractual interests. Consequently, we include the results of SAC Holding II in the consolidated financial statements of AMERCO, as required by FIN 46(R).
 
2. Earnings per Share
 
Net earnings for the purposes of computing earnings per common share are net earnings less preferred stock dividends. Preferred stock dividends include accrued dividends of AMERCO.
 
The shares used in the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per common share were as follows:

Weighted average common share outstanding:
             
Basic and diluted
   
20,897,688
   
20,836,458
 
               
 
The weighted average common shares outstanding listed above exclude post-1992 shares of the employee stock ownership plan that have not been committed to be released. The unreleased shares net of shares committed to be released were 380,658 and 444,092 as of June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively.
 
6,100,000 shares of preferred stock have been excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding calculation because they are not common stock and they are not convertible into common stock.

Real Estate Backed Loan
 
Amerco Real Estate Company and certain of its subsidiaries and U-Haul Company of Florida are borrowers under a Real Estate Loan. The lender is Merrill Lynch Commercial Finance Corp. The original amount of the Real Estate Loan was $465.0 million and is due June 10, 2010. The borrowers have the right to extend the maturity twice, for up to one year each time. U-Haul International, Inc. is a guarantor of this loan.
 
The Real Estate Loan requires monthly principal and interest payments, with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. The Real Estate Loan is secured by various properties owned by the borrowers. The principal payments of $222.4 million made in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 were sufficient to allow us to make interest only payments in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
 
The interest rate, per the provisions of the Loan Agreement, is the applicable London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable margin. At June 30, 2006 the applicable LIBOR was 5.17% and the applicable margin was 2.00%, the sum of which was 7.17%. The applicable margin ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% and is based on the ratio of the excess of the average daily amount of loans divided by a fixed percentage of the appraised value of the properties collateralizing the loan, compared with the most recently reported twelve months of Combined Net Operating Income (“NOI”), as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement.
 
The default provisions of the Real Estate Loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. There are limited restrictions regarding our use of the funds.

W.P. Carey Transactions
 
In 1999, AMERCO, U-Haul and Real Estate entered into financing agreements for the purchase and construction of self-storage facilities with the Bank of Montreal and Citibank (the “leases” or the “synthetic leases”). Title to the real property subject to these leases was held by non-affiliated entities.
 
These leases were amended and restated on March 15, 2004. In connection with such amendment and restatement, we paid down approximately $31.0 million of lease obligations and entered into leases with a three year term, with four one year renewal options. After such pay down, our lease obligation under the amended and restated synthetic leases was approximately $218.5 million.

On April 30, 2004, the amended and restated leases were terminated and the properties underlying these leases were sold to UH Storage (DE) Limited Partnership, an affiliate of W. P. Carey. U-Haul entered into a ten year operating lease with W. P. Carey (UH Storage DE) for a portion of each property (the portion of the property that relates to U-Haul’s truck and trailer rental and moving supply sales businesses). The remainder of each property (the portion of the property that relates to self-storage) was leased by W. P. Carey (UH Storage DE) to Mercury Partners, LP (“Mercury”) pursuant to a twenty year lease. These events are referred to as the “W. P. Carey Transactions.” As a result of the W. P. Carey Transactions, we no longer have a capital lease related to these properties.
 
The sales price for these transactions was $298.4 million and cash proceeds were $298.9 million. The Company realized a gain on the transaction of $2.7 million, which is being amortized over the life of the lease term.
 
As part of the W. P. Carey Transactions, U-Haul entered into agreements to manage these properties (including the portion of the properties leased by Mercury). These management agreements allow us to continue to operate the properties as part of the U-Haul moving and self-storage system.
 
U-Haul’s annual lease payments under the new lease are approximately $10.0 million per year, with Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) inflation adjustments beginning in the sixth year of the lease. The lease term is ten years, with a renewal option for an additional ten years. Upon closing of the W. P. Carey Transactions, we made a $22.9 million earn-out deposit, providing us with the opportunity to be reimbursed for certain capital improvements we previously made to the properties, and a $5.0 million security deposit. U-Haul met the requirements under the lease regarding the return of the earn-out deposit which was refunded in fiscal 2006.
 
The property management agreement we entered into with Mercury provides that Mercury will pay U-Haul a management fee based on gross self-storage rental revenues generated by the properties. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, U-Haul received $0.4 million in management fees from Mercury.

The exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our variable rate debt obligations. We have used interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements to provide for matching the gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the cash flows associated with the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. On June 8, 2005 the Company entered into separate interest rate swap contracts for $100.0 million of our variable rate debt over a three year term and for $100.0 million of our variable rate debt over a five year term, which were designated as cash flow hedges effective July 1, 2005. On May 13, 2004 the Company entered into separate interest rate cap contracts for $200.0 million of our variable rate debt over a two year term and for $50.0 million of our variable rate debt over a three year term, however these contracts were dedesignated as cash flow hedges effective July 11, 2005 when the Real Estate loan was paid down by $222.4 million. On November 15, 2005 the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap contract for $142.3 million of a variable rate debt over a six year term that started on May 10, 2006. On June 21, 2006 the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract for $50.0 million of our variable rate debt over a seven year term that started on July 10, 2006. On June 9, 2006 the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract for $144.9 million of a variable rate debt over a six year term that will start on October 10, 2006. These interest rate swap agreements were designated cash flow hedges on their effective dates.

Shoen
 
On September 24, 2002, Paul F. Shoen filed a derivative action in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, Washoe County, captioned Paul F. Shoen vs. SAC Holding Corporation et al., CV02-05602, seeking damages and equitable relief on behalf of AMERCO from SAC Holdings and certain current and former members of the AMERCO Board of Directors, including Edward J. Shoen, Mark V. Shoen and James P. Shoen as defendants. AMERCO is named a nominal defendant for purposes of the derivative action. The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duty, self-dealing, usurpation of corporate opportunities, wrongful interference with prospective economic advantage and unjust enrichment and seeks the unwinding of sales of self-storage properties by subsidiaries of AMERCO to SAC Holdings over the last several years. The complaint seeks a declaration that such transfers are void as well as unspecified damages. On October 28, 2002, AMERCO, the Shoen directors, the non-Shoen directors and SAC Holdings filed Motions to Dismiss the complaint. In addition, on October 28, 2002, Ron Belec filed a derivative action in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, Washoe County, captioned Ron Belec vs. William E. Carty, et al., CV 02-06331 and on January 16, 2003, M.S. Management Company, Inc. filed a derivative action in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, Washoe County, captioned M.S. Management Company, Inc. vs. William E. Carty, et al., CV 03-00386. Two additional derivative suits were also filed against these parties. These additional suits are substantially similar to the Paul F. Shoen derivative action. The five suits assert virtually identical claims. In fact, three of the five plaintiffs are parties who are working closely together and chose to file the same claims multiple times. These lawsuits alleged that the AMERCO Board lacked independence. In reaching its decision to dismiss these claims, the court determined that the AMERCO Board of Directors had the requisite level of independence required in order to have these claims resolved by the Board. The court consolidated all five complaints before dismissing them on May 28, 2003. Plaintiffs appealed and, on September 12, 2005 the Nevada Supreme Court heard oral arguments. On July 13, 2006, the Nevada Supreme Court reviewed and remanded the claim to the trial court for proceedings consistent with its ruling.

Securities Litigation
 
AMERCO is a defendant in a consolidated putative class action lawsuit entitled “In Re AMERCO Securities Litigation”, United States District Court, Case No. CV-N-03-0050-ECR (RAM). The action alleges claims for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 there under, section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The action alleges, among other things, that AMERCO engaged in transactions with the SAC entities that falsely improved AMERCO’s financial statements and that AMERCO failed to disclose the transactions properly. The action has been transferred to the United States District Court, District of Arizona and assigned to Judge Bryan. Motions to Dismiss are fully briefed and are before the court. Prior to the ruling on the Motions to Dismiss, the parties have agreed to a settlement in principle, subject to final documentation and approval by the Court. The settlement in the amount of $5.0 million will be covered by AMERCO’s D&O insurance carrier.

In early 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a formal order of investigation to determine whether the Company had violated federal securities laws. During the course of the investigation the Company produced and delivered all requested documents and information and provided testimony from all requested witnesses to the SEC. On July 10, 2006, the SEC terminated their investigation, with no action taken against the Company.
 
Environmental
 
In the normal course of business, AMERCO is a defendant in a number of suits and claims. AMERCO is also a party to several administrative proceedings arising from state and local provisions that regulate the removal and/or cleanup of underground fuel storage tanks. It is the opinion of management, that none of these suits, claims or proceedings involving AMERCO, individually or in the aggregate, are expected to result in a material loss.
 
Compliance with environmental requirements of federal, state and local governments significantly affects Real Estate’s business operations. Among other things, these requirements regulate the discharge of materials into the water, air and land and govern the use and disposal of hazardous substances. Real Estate is aware of issues regarding hazardous substances on some of its properties. Real Estate regularly makes capital and operating expenditures to stay in compliance with environmental laws and has put in place a remedial plan at each site where it believes such a plan is necessary. Since 1988, Real Estate has managed a testing and removal program for underground storage tanks.
 
Based upon the information currently available to Real Estate, compliance with the environmental laws and its share of the costs of investigation and cleanup of known hazardous waste sites are not expected to have a material adverse effect on AMERCO’s financial position or operating results. Real Estate expects to spend approximately $6.3 million through 2011 to remediate these properties.
 
Other
 
The Company is named as a defendant in various other litigation and claims arising out of the normal course of business. In managements’ opinion none of these other matters will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

8. Related Party Transactions
 
AMERCO has engaged in related party transactions and has continuing related party interests with certain major stockholders, directors and officers of the consolidated group as disclosed below. Management believes that the transactions described below and in the related notes were consummated on terms equivalent to those that would prevail in arm’s-length transactions.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007 subsidiaries of the Company held various junior unsecured notes of SAC Holdings. Substantially all of the equity interest of SAC Holdings is controlled by Blackwater Investments, Inc. (“Blackwater”), wholly-owned by Mark V. Shoen, a significant shareholder and executive officer of AMERCO. The Company does not have an equity ownership interest in SAC Holdings, except for minority investments made by RepWest and Oxford in a SAC Holdings-controlled limited partnership which holds Canadian self-storage properties. The Company recorded interest income of $5.3 million and $5.4 million, and received cash interest payments of $34.2 million and $4.9 million, from SAC Holdings during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. The $34.2 million payment in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 reduced the outstanding interest receivable from SAC Holdings to $21.5 million. The largest aggregate amount of notes receivable outstanding during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and the aggregate notes receivable balance at June 30, 2006 was $203.7 million, of which $75.1 million is with SAC Holding II and has been eliminated in the consolidating financial statements.
 
Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance of junior notes of SAC Holdings that the Company holds at a stated rate of basic interest. A fixed portion of that basic interest is paid on a monthly basis.
 
Additional interest is paid on the same payment date based on the amount of remaining basic interest and of the cash flow generated by the underlying property. This amount is referred to as the “cash flow-based calculation.”
 
To the extent that this cash flow-based calculation exceeds the amount of remaining basic interest, contingent interest is paid on the same monthly date as the fixed portion of basic interest. To the extent that the cash flow-based calculation is less than the amount of remaining basic interest, the additional interest payable on the applicable monthly date is limited to the amount of that cash flow-based calculation. In such a case, the excess of the remaining basic interest over the cash flow-based calculation is deferred. In addition, subject to certain contingencies, the junior notes provide that the holder of the note is entitled to receive 90% of the appreciation realized upon, among other things, the sale of such property by SAC Holdings.
 
The Company currently manages the self-storage properties owned or leased by SAC Holdings, Mercury, 4 SAC, 5 SAC, Galaxy, and Private Mini Storage Realty (“Private Mini”) pursuant to a standard form of management agreement, under which the Company receives a management fee of between 4% and 10% of the gross receipts plus reimbursement for certain expenses. The Company received management fees, exclusive of expenses, of $4.4 million, and $4.0 million from the above mentioned entities during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. This management fee is consistent with the fee received for other properties the Company previously managed for third parties. SAC Holdings, 4 SAC, 5 SAC, Galaxy and Private Mini are substantially controlled by Blackwater. Mercury is substantially controlled by Mark V. Shoen. James P. Shoen, a significant shareholder and director of AMERCO, has an interest in Mercury.
 
RepWest and Oxford currently hold a 46% limited partnership interest in Securespace Limited Partnership (“Securespace”), a Nevada limited partnership. A SAC Holdings subsidiary serves as the general partner of Securespace and owns a 1% interest. Another SAC Holdings subsidiary owns the remaining 53% limited partnership interest in Securespace. Securespace was formed by SAC Holdings to be the owner of various Canadian self-storage properties. RepWest’s and Oxford’s investment in Securespace is included in Related Party Assets and is accounted for using the equity method. We do not believe that the carrying amount of their investments in Securespace is in excess of fair value.
 
The Company leases space for marketing company offices, vehicle repair shops and hitch installation centers from subsidiaries of SAC Holdings, 5 SAC and Galaxy. Total lease payments pursuant to such leases were $0.7 million and $0.7 million in first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. The terms of the leases are similar to the terms of leases for other properties owned by unrelated parties that are leased to the Company.

At June 30, 2006, subsidiaries of SAC Holdings, 4 SAC, 5 SAC, Galaxy and Private Mini acted as U-Haul independent dealers. The financial and other terms of the dealership contracts with the aforementioned companies and their subsidiaries are substantially identical to the terms of those with the Company’s other independent dealers. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, the Company paid the above mentioned entities $10.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively in commissions pursuant to such dealership contracts.
 
These agreements with subsidiaries of SAC Holdings, 4 SAC, 5 SAC, Galaxy and Private Mini, excluding dealer agreements, provided revenue of $9.3 million, expenses of $0.7 million and cash flows of $37.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Revenues and commission expenses related to the Dealer Agreements were $46.5 million and $10.1 million, respectively.
 
SAC Holdings was established in order to acquire self-storage properties. These properties are being managed by the Company pursuant to management agreements. The sale of self-storage properties by the Company to SAC Holdings has in the past provided significant cash flows to the Company and the Company’s outstanding loans to SAC Holdings entitle the Company to participate in SAC Holdings’ excess cash flows (after senior debt service).
 
Management believes that its sales of self-storage properties to SAC Holdings has provided a unique structure for the Company to earn moving equipment rental revenues and property management fee revenue from the SAC Holdings self-storage properties that the Company manages and to participate in SAC Holdings’ excess cash flows as described above.
 
During 1997, Private Mini secured a $225.0 million line of credit with a financing institution, which was subsequently reduced in accordance with its terms to $125.0 million in December 2001. Under the terms of this credit facility, AMERCO entered into a support party agreement with Private Mini whereby upon default or noncompliance with certain debt covenants by Private Mini, AMERCO assumes responsibility in fulfilling all obligations related to this credit facility. In 2003, the support party obligation was bifurcated into two separate support party obligations; one consisting of a $55.0 million support party obligation and one consisting of a $70.0 million support party obligation. At March 31, 2003, $55.0 million of AMERCO’s support party obligation had been triggered. AMERCO satisfied the $55.0 million obligation by issuing notes to the Private Mini creditor, and we correspondingly increased our receivable from Private Mini by $55.0 million. Interest from Private Mini on this receivable is being recorded by AMERCO on a regular basis. The Company expects to fully recover this amount. Under the terms of FIN 45, the remaining $70.0 million support party obligation was recognized by the Company as a liability at March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003. This resulted in AMERCO increasing Other Liabilities by $70.0 million and increasing our receivable from Private Mini by an additional $70.0 million. At March 31, 2005, the Company revalued the FIN 45 liability to $2.9 million. Effective July 15, 2005 the $70.0 million support party obligation was terminated and AMERCO is no longer obligated on behalf of Private Mini. The $2.9 million liability recorded in the Company’s books was eliminated at the time the support party obligation was terminated. Private Mini is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of 4 SAC and 5 SAC.
 
In prior years, U-Haul sold various properties to SAC Holding Corporation at prices in excess of U-Haul’s carrying values resulting in gains which U-Haul deferred and treated as additional paid-in capital. The transferred properties have historically been stated at the original cost basis as the gains were eliminated in consolidation. In March 2004, these deferred gains were recognized and treated as contributions from a related party in the amount of $111.0 million as a result of the deconsolidation of SAC Holding Corporation.

Independent fleet owners own approximately 2.2% of all U-Haul rental trailers. There are approximately 561 independent fleet owners, including certain officers, directors, employees and stockholders of AMERCO. Such AMERCO officers, directors, employees and stockholders owned less than 1.0% of all U-Haul rental trailers during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Payments to these individuals under this program are de minimis (less than one thousand dollars per quarter, per person). All rental equipment is operated under contract with U-Haul whereby U-Haul administers the operations and marketing of such equipment and in return receives a percentage of rental fees paid by customers. Based on the terms of various contracts, rental fees are distributed to U-Haul (for services as operators), to the fleet owners (including certain subsidiaries and related parties of U-Haul) and to rental dealers (including Company-operated U-Haul Centers).

9. Consolidating Financial Information by Industry Segment
 
AMERCO has four reportable segments. They are Moving and Storage Operations, Property and Casualty Insurance, Life Insurance and SAC Holding II. Management tracks revenues separately, but does not report any separate measure of the profitability for rental vehicles, rentals of self-storage spaces and sales of products that are required to be classified as a separate operating segment and accordingly does not present these as separate reportable segments. Deferred income taxes are shown as liabilities on the consolidating statements.
 
This section includes condensed consolidating financial information which presents the condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006 and the related condensed consolidating statements of operations and condensed consolidating cash flow statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 2006 for:

Moving and Storage Operations, comprised of AMERCO, U-Haul, and Real Estate and the subsidiaries of U-Haul and Real Estate
 
 
(b)
RepWest and its wholly-owned subsidiary
 
 
(c)
Oxford and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
 
 
(d)
SAC Holding II and its subsidiaries
 
The information includes elimination entries necessary to consolidate AMERCO, the parent, with its subsidiaries and SAC Holding II and its subsidiaries.
 
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent using the equity method of accounting.
