AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
June 30, 2005, June 30, 2004 (Unaudited) and March 31, 2005
 
1. Basis of Presentation
 
The first fiscal quarter for AMERCO ends 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 2005 and 2004 correspond to the Company’s fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies have been re-measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. 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 2006 and fiscal 2005, and the balance sheet as of March 31, 2005 include the accounts of AMERCO, its wholly owned subsidiaries and SAC Holding II Corporation and its subsidiaries.
 
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2005 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the first quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005 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 2005 Form 10-K.
 
Inter-company 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”)
 
North American Fire & Casualty Insurance Company (“NAFCIC”),
 
Oxford Life Insurance Company (“Oxford”)
 
North American Insurance Company (“NAI”) and
 
Christian Fidelity Life Insurance Company (“CFLIC”).
 
Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” refers to AMERCO and its legal subsidiaries.
 


AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
 
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 International, Inc and Amerco Real Estate Company and consist of the rental of trucks and trailers, sales of moving supplies, sales of trailer hitches, 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; credit life and disability; ordinary life; group life and disability coverage; and Medicare supplement insurance. Oxford also administers the self-insured employee health and dental plans for 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 acts as independent U-Haul rental equipment dealers. AMERCO 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 Corporation, AMERCO is considered the primary beneficiary of these contractual interests. Consequently, we include the results of SAC Holding II Corporation in the consolidated financial statements of AMERCO, as required by FIN 46(R).
 
2. Earnings per Share
 
Net income for purposes of computing earnings per common share is net income minus 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:
   
Quarter ended June 30,
 
   
2005
 
2004
 
   
(Unaudited)
 
Basic and diluted earnings per common share
 
$
1.53
 
$
1.98
 
Weighted average common share outstanding:
             
Basic and diluted
   
20,836,458
   
20,788,074
 
               
 
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 as of June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively.
 
6,100,000 shares of preferred stock have been excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding calculation because they are not common stock equivalents.
 
3. Borrowings
 
Long-Term Debt
 
On June 8, 2005, the Company repaid all of its outstanding debt including related accrued and unpaid interest and early termination fees.

The interest rates, per the provisions of the Senior Mortgages, are 5.7% per annum for the Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending Agreement and 5.5% per annum for the Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Agreement.
 
The default provisions of the Senior Mortgages include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard covenants. There are limited restrictions regarding our use of the funds. We are in compliance with the covenants.

The interest rate is the applicable London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable margin. At June 30, 2005 the applicable LIBOR was 3.2% and the applicable margin was 2.7%, the sum of which was 5.9%. The applicable margin ranges from 2.0% to 2.8% 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 12 months of Combined Net Operating Income (“NOI”), as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement.
 
The default provisions of the Real Estate Backed Loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard covenants. There are limited restrictions regarding our use of the funds. We are in compliance with the covenants.
 
U-Haul Company of Canada Mortgage Securities
 
U-Haul Company of Canada is the borrower under a mortgage backed loan. The lender is Merrill Lynch and the loan is in the amount of $8.9 million ($11.4 million in Canadian currency). The loan was entered into on June 29, 2005 at a rate of 5.75%. It has a 25 year amortization with a maturity of July 1, 2015. We are in compliance with the covenants.
 
W.P. Carey Transactions
 
In 1999, AMERCO, U-Haul International, Inc. and Amerco 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. As a result, 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 20 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 terms of the W. P. Carey Transactions provide for us to be reimbursed for capital improvements we previously made to the properties, subject to conditions, which we expect will occur over a period of approximately 18 months following the closing.
 
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 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 $5.0 million security deposit and an earn-out deposit of $22.9 million. We believe that U-Haul has met the requirements under the lease and the earn-out deposit should be refunded.
 
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 2006, U-Haul earned $0.4 million in management fees from Mercury.

6. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
 
The Company leases a portion of its rental equipment and certain of its facilities under operating leases with terms that expire at various dates substantially through 2034. At June 30, 2005, AMERCO has guaranteed $157.7 million of residual values for these assets at the end of the respective lease terms. Certain leases contain renewal and fair market value purchase options as well as mileage and other restrictions. At the expiration of the lease, the Company has the option to renew the lease, purchase the asset for fair market value, or sell the asset to a third party on behalf of the lessor. AMERCO has been leasing equipment since 1987 and has experienced no material losses related to these types of residual rate guarantees.

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 in prior 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 filed a Notice of Appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court and the Court has set an oral argument for September 12, 2005.


AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

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 thereunder, 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. Defendants have filed motions to dismiss and will defend the case vigorously.
 
Securities and Exchange Commission
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has issued a formal order of investigation to determine whether the Company has violated the Federal Securities laws. The Company has produced and delivered all requested documents and provided testimony from all requested witnesses to the SEC. The Company is cooperating with the SEC and is facilitating the expeditious review of its financial statements and any other issues that may arise. We cannot predict the outcome of the investigation.
 
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 $8.7 million through 2011 to remediate these properties.
 
Other
 
The Company is named as a defendant in various litigation and claims arising out of the normal course of business. In managements opinion none of these 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.

AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
 
    During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, a subsidiary of the Company held various unsecured notes of SAC Holdings. Substantially all of the equity interest of SAC Holdings is controlled 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 received cash interest payments of $4.9 million, from SAC Holdings during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The largest aggregate amount of notes receivable outstanding during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and the aggregate notes receivable balance at June 30, 2005 was $203.7 million. Of this amount, $75.1 million is with SAC Holding II Corporation and eliminates in consolidation.
 
Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance of junior notes of SAC Holding II 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” 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 and all amounts so deferred bear the stated rate of basic interest until maturity of the junior note. For the note with SAC Holding II Corporation and for certain notes with specified subsidiaries of SAC Holding Corporation, 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. In addition, subject to certain contingencies, the note with SAC Holding II Corporation and certain notes with SAC Holding Corporation provide that the holder of the note is entitled to participate in any appreciation realized upon, among other things, the sale of certain properties by SAC Holdings.
 
The Company currently manages the self-storage properties owned by SAC Holdings, Mercury, 4 SAC, 5 SAC and 19 SAC pursuant to a standard form of management agreement, under which the Company receives a management fee between 4.0% and 6.0% of the gross receipts. The Company received management fees of $4.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. This management fee is consistent with the fees received for other properties the Company manages for third parties.
 
RepWest and Oxford currently hold a combined 46.0% 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 1.0% interest. Another SAC Holdings subsidiary owns the remaining 53.0% limited partnership interest in Securespace. Securespace was formed by SAC Holdings to be the owner of various Canadian self-storage properties. RepWest and Oxford’s investment in Securespace is included in Investment, other and is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. We do not believe that the carrying amount of their investment in Securespace is in excess of fair value.
 
During the first quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005, the Company leased space for marketing company offices, vehicle repair shops and hitch installation centers owned by subsidiaries of SAC Holdings, 4 SAC, 5 SAC and 19 SAC. Total lease payments pursuant to such leases were $0.7 million and $0.6 million during the first quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005, 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, 2005, subsidiaries of SAC Holdings, 4 SAC, 5 SAC and 19 SAC acted as U-Haul independent dealers. The financial and other terms of the dealership contracts with subsidiaries of SAC Holdings are substantially identical to the terms of those with the Company’s other independent dealers. During the first quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005, the Company paid the above mentioned entities $9.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively in commissions pursuant to such dealership contracts.
 
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).

AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
 
Management believes that its sales of self-storage properties to SAC Holdings has provided a unique structure for the Company to earn management fee income from the SAC Holdings self-storage properties that the Company manages and to participate in SAC Holdings’ excess cash flows as described above.
 
Independent fleet owners own approximately 3.0% of all U-Haul rental trailers. There are approximately 1,200 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 quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. 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).
 
In February 1997, AMERCO, through its insurance subsidiaries, invested in the equity of Private Mini, a Texas-based self-storage operator. RepWest invested $13.5 million and had a direct 30.6% interest and an indirect 13.2% interest. Oxford invested $11.0 million and had a direct 24.9% interest and an indirect 10.8% interest. On June 30, 2003, RepWest and Oxford exchanged their respective interests in Private Mini for certain real property owned by certain SAC Holdings entities. The exchanges were non-monetary and were recorded on the basis of the book values of the assets exchanged.
 
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 debt covenants by Private Mini, AMERCO assumed 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 and received 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 guarantee was terminated.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
General
 
We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) with the overall strategy of AMERCO, followed by a description of our business segments and the strategy of our business segments to give the reader an overview of the goals of our business and the direction in which our businesses and products are moving. This is followed by a discussion of the Critical Accounting Estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. In the next section, we discuss our Results of Operations for the first quarter ending June 30, 2005 compared with the same period last year beginning with an overview. We then provide an analysis of changes in our balance sheet and cash flows, and discuss our financial commitments in the sections entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Disclosures about Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments.” We conclude this MD&A by discussing our outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2006.
 
This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The various sections of this MD&A contain a number of forward looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout this filing and particularly under the caption “Risk Factors” in this section. Our actual results may differ materially from these forward looking statements.
 
Overall Strategy
 
Our overall strategy is to maintain our leadership position in the North American “do-it-yourself” moving and storage industry. We plan to accomplish this by providing a seamless and integrated supply chain to the “do-it-yourself” moving and storage market. As part of executing this strategy, we leverage the brand recognition of U-Haul with our full line of moving and self-storage related products and services and the convenience of our broad geographic presence.
 
Our primary focus is to provide our customers with a wide selection of moving rental equipment, convenient self-storage rental facilities and related moving and self-storage products and services. We are able to expand our distribution and improve customer service by increasing the amount of moving equipment and storage rooms available for rent, expanding the number of independent dealers in our network and expanding and taking advantage of our growing eMove capabilities.
 
During 2003, RepWest decided to focus its activities on providing and administering property and casualty insurance to U-Haul, its customers, its independent dealers and affiliates. We believe this will enable RepWest to focus its core competencies and financial resources to better support our overall strategy by exiting its non-U-Haul lines of business.
 
Oxford’s business strategy is long-term capital growth through direct writing and reinsuring of annuity, life and Medicare supplement products. Oxford is pursuing this growth strategy of increased direct writing via acquisitions of insurance companies, expanded distribution channels and product development.
 
Description of Operating Segments
 
AMERCO has four reportable segments. Our segments are Moving and Storage Operations, Property and Casualty Insurance, Life Insurance and SAC Holding II.
 
Moving and Storage Operating Segment
 
Our Moving and Self-Storage Operating Segment consists of the rental of trucks, trailers and self-storage spaces to the household mover as well as sales of moving supplies, trailer hitches and propane. Operations are conducted under the registered trade name U-Haul® throughout the United States and Canada.
 
With respect to our truck, trailer and self-storage rental business, we are focused on expanding our dealer network, which provides added convenience for our customers and expanding the selection and availability of rental equipment to satisfy the needs of our customers.


With respect to our retail sales of product, U-Haul continues in its role as America’s leading hitch installer. Each year, more than one million customers visit our locations for expertise on complete towing systems, trailer rentals and the latest in towing accessories. In addition, U-Haul has developed specialty boxes to protect customers’ personal possessions including antiques, fine china, wine bottles, electronics, pictures and much more.
 
eMove is an online marketplace that connects consumers to over 5,000 independent sellers of moving help and self-storage services. Our network of customer rated service providers and affiliates provides pack and load help, self-storage and more all over North America. A phone access system was launched in September 2004 and has already serviced over 28,000 customers in less than nine months.
 
An individual or a company can connect to the eMove network by becoming a Moving Help® Service Provider or an eMove Storage Affiliate. Moving Help providers assist customers with packing, loading, cleaning and unloading their truck or storage unit. The Storage Affiliate program enables independent self-storage facilities to expand their reach by connecting into eMove and U-Haul’s moving and storage reservation system and for a fee, receive an array of services including web-based management software, S.O.A.R® rentals, co-branded rental trucks, savings on insurance, credit card processing and more. Over 2,800 facilities are now registered on the eMove network.
 
With over 43,000 unedited reviews of service providers, the marketplace has facilitated over 60,000 moving and storage transactions all over North America. We believe that acting as an intermediary, with little added investment, serves the customer in a cost effective manner. Our goal is to further utilize our web-based technology platform to increase service to consumers and businesses in the moving and storage market.
 
Property and Casualty Insurance Operating Segment
 
RepWest provides loss adjusting and claims handling for U-Haul through regional offices across North America. RepWest also provides components of the Safemove, Safetow and Safestor protection packages to U-Haul customers. We continue to focus on increasing the penetration of these products. The business plan for RepWest includes offering property and casualty products in other U-Haul related programs.
 
Life Insurance Operating Segment
 
Oxford originates and reinsures annuities, ordinary life, group life and disability coverage, and Medicare supplement insurance. Oxford also administers the self-insured employee health and dental plans for AMERCO.
 
SAC Holdings Operating Segment
 
SAC Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries, and SAC Holding II Corporation (“SAC Holding II”) and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “SAC Holdings”, own self-storage properties that are managed by U-Haul under property management agreements. AMERCO, through its subsidiaries, has contractual interests in certain of SAC Holdings’ properties entitling AMERCO to potential future income based on the financial performance of these properties. With respect to SAC Holding II Corporation, AMERCO is considered the primary beneficiary of these contractual interests. Consequently, we include the results of SAC Holdings II Corporation in the consolidated financial statements of AMERCO, as required by FIN 46(R).
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies can have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. Accounting policies are considered critical when they are significant and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. Certain accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The accounting policies that we deem most critical to us and that require management’s most difficult and subjective judgments include our principles of consolidation, the recoverability of property, plant and equipment, the adequacy of insurance reserves, and the recognition and measurement of impairments for investments, and the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities.


 
We discuss these policies further in the following sections, as well as the estimates and judgments that are involved. The estimates are based on historical experience, observance of trends in particular areas, information and valuations available from outside sources and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Such differences may be material.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarters of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 and the balance sheet as of March 31, 2005, include the accounts of AMERCO, its wholly owned subsidiaries and SAC Holding II Corporation and its subsidiaries.
 
In fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, SAC Holding Corporation and SAC Holding II (together, “SAC Holdings”) were considered special purpose entities and were consolidated based on the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 90-15.
 
In fiscal 2004, the Company applied Financial Interpretation No. 46(R) (“FIN 46(R)”) to its interests in SAC Holdings. Initially, the Company concluded that SAC Holdings were variable interest entities (VIE’s) and that the Company was the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company continued to include SAC Holdings in its consolidated financial statements.
 
Under the provisions of FIN 46(R), certain changes in the operations of a variable interest entity or its relationship with the primary beneficiary constitute re-determination events and require a reassessment of the variable interest on the basis of the most current facts and circumstances to determine whether or not a company is a variable interest entity, which other company(s) have a variable interest in the variable interest entity and whether or not the reporting company’s variable interest in such variable interest entity make it the primary beneficiary. These determinations and re-determinations require that assumptions be made to estimate the value of the entity and a judgment be made as to whether or not the entity has the financial strength to fund its own operations and execute its business plan without the subordinated financial support of another company.
 
In February, 2004, SAC Holding Corporation restructured the indebtedness of three subsidiaries and then distributed its interest in those subsidiaries to its sole shareholder. This triggered a requirement to reassess AMERCO’s involvement with those subsidiaries, which led to the conclusion that based on the current contractual and ownership interests between AMERCO and this entity, AMERCO ceased to have a variable interest in those three subsidiaries at that date.
 
Separately, in March 2004, SAC Holding Corporation restructured its indebtedness, triggering a similar reassessment of SAC Holding Corporation that led to the conclusion that SAC Holding Corporation was not a VIE and that AMERCO ceased to be the primary beneficiary of SAC Holding Corporation and its remaining subsidiaries. This conclusion was based on SAC Holding Corporation’s ability to fund its own operations and execute its business plan without any future subordinated financial support.
 
Accordingly, at the dates AMERCO ceased to have a variable interest in or ceased to be the primary beneficiary of SAC Holding Corporation and its current or former subsidiaries, it deconsolidated those entities. The deconsolidation was accounted for as a distribution of AMERCO’s interests to the sole shareholder of the SAC entities. Because of AMERCO’s continuing involvement with SAC Holding Corporation and its current and former subsidiaries, the distributions do not qualify as discontinued operations as defined by SFAS No. 144.
 
It is possible that SAC Holding Corporation could take actions that would require us to re-determine whether SAC Holding Corporation has become a VIE or whether we have become the primary beneficiary of SAC Holding Corporation. Should this occur, we could be required to consolidate some or all of SAC Holding Corporation with our financial statements.
 
Similarly, SAC Holding II Corporation could take actions that would require us to re-determine whether it is a VIE or whether we continue to be the primary beneficiary of our variable interest in SAC Holding II Corporation. Should we cease to be the primary beneficiary, we would be required to de-consolidate some or all of our variable interest in SAC Holding II Corporation from our financial statements.


 
Recoverability of Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Interest cost incurred during the initial construction of buildings or rental equipment is considered part of cost. Depreciation is computed for financial reporting purposes principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: rental equipment 2-20 years and buildings and non-rental equipment 3-55 years. Major overhauls to rental equipment are capitalized and are amortized over the estimated period benefited. Routine maintenance costs are charged to operating expense as they are incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of property, plant and equipment are netted against depreciation expense when realized. Depreciation is recognized in amounts expected to result in the recovery of estimated residual values upon disposal, i.e., no gains or losses.
 
We regularly perform reviews to determine whether facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the carrying amount of assets, including estimates of residual value, may not be recoverable or that the useful life of assets is shorter or longer than originally estimated. We assess the recoverability of our assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If assets are determined to be recoverable, but the useful lives are shorter or longer than originally estimated, the net book value of the assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining useful lives.
 
Insurance Reserves 
 
Liabilities for life insurance and certain annuity policies are established to meet the estimated future obligations of policies in force, and are based on mortality and withdrawal assumptions from recognized actuarial tables which contain margins for adverse deviation. Liabilities for annuity contracts consist of contract account balances that accrue to the benefit of the policyholders, excluding surrender charges. Liabilities for health, disability and other policies represents estimates of payments to be made on insurance claims for reported losses and estimates of losses incurred, but not yet reported.
 
Insurance reserves for RepWest and U-Haul take into account losses incurred based upon actuarial estimates. These estimates are based on past claims experience and current claim trends as well as social and economic conditions such as changes in legal theories and inflation. Due to the nature of underlying risks and the high degree of uncertainty associated with the determination of the liability for future policy benefits and claims, the amounts to be ultimately paid to settle liabilities, cannot be precisely determined and may vary significantly from the estimated liability.
 
A consequence of the long tail nature of the assumed reinsurance and the excess workers compensation lines of insurance that were written by RepWest is that it takes a number of years for claims to be fully reported and finally settled. Also, the severity of the commercial transportation and the commercial multiple peril programs can fluctuate unexpectedly. During 2004 and 2003 these lines experienced an increase in claim severity that was materially different than the previous year’s actuarial estimations.
 
Investments
 
For investments accounted for under SFAS No. 115, in determining if and when a decline in market value below amortized cost is other than temporary, quoted market prices, dealer quotes or discounted cash flows are reviewed. Other-than-temporary declines in value are recognized in the current period operating results to the extent of the decline.


 
Key Accounting Policies
 
We also have other policies that we consider key accounting policies, such as revenue recognition; however, these policies do not meet the definition of critical accounting estimates, because they do not generally require us to make estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, self-moving equipment rentals increased $11.5 million through steady increases in transaction volume, modest price increases and improved mix of trucks. Storage revenues at Company owned locations increased for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005 as a result of increase in the number of rooms available for rent, higher occupancy rates and modest price increases. These gains were offset by reductions in storage revenues resulting from the W. P. Carey Transactions (see note 3 to the “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a more detailed discussion of the W. P. Carey Transactions). Sales of self-moving and self-storage related products and services increased $5.2 million following our growth in moving equipment rental revenues. Property management fees increased $1.5 million as a result of the W.P. Carey Transactions.
 
RepWest continued to exit non U-Haul related lines of business and as a result, its premium revenues declined approximately $5.0 million. Oxford’s premium revenues declined approximately $3.7 million primarily as a result of the lingering effects of its rating downgrade by A.M. Best in 2003.
 
As a result of the items mentioned above, revenues for AMERCO and its consolidated entities were $559.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compared with $552.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Total costs and expenses fell by $14.9 million primarily as a result of reduced equipment-related and lease expenses, professional fees, and decreased risk exposure at the insurance subsidiaries. The decrease in total expenses was partially offset by increased depreciation expense, commissions and cost of sales resulting from higher revenues.
 
As a result of the above mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, earnings from operations improved to $112.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared with $91.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
 
Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was $55.3 million. In addition, AMERCO recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 a one-time, nonrecurring charge of $35.6 million related to the early termination of existing indebtedness, which is consistent with $19.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
 
Income tax expense was $22.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared with $27.8 million in first quarter of fiscal 2005 and reflects lower pretax earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
 
Dividends accrued on our Series A preferred stock were $3.2 million in first quarter of fiscal 2006, unchanged from the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
 
As a result of the above mentioned items, net earnings available to common shareholders fell to $31.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compared with $41.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
 
The weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding were 20,836,458 in first quarter of fiscal 2006 and were 20,788,074 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
 
Basic and diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 were $1.53, compared with $1.98 for the same period last year.

Republic Western Insurance Company
 
Premium revenues were $4.8 million and $9.8 million for the first quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The overall decrease is due to RepWest exiting lines not associated with the Self-Storage or Self-Moving industries. Self-Storage and Self-Moving industry premiums were $3.9 million and $4.0 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Other lines of business were $0.9 million and $5.8 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
Net investment income was $3.5 million and $4.5 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The reduction was due to a decrease in our invested asset base.
 
Benefits and losses incurred were $3.5 million and $10.0 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease resulted from reduced earned premiums resulting from RepWest’s decision to exit its non Self-Storage and Self-Moving industry business.
 
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs was $0.9 million and $3.4 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease is due to decreased premium writings. The decrease is due to a reduction of in-force business related to the exit of non U-Haul related business.
 
Operating expenses were $2.4 million and $0.6 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase is due to reduced capitalization of commissions in 2005 as well as a reduction in policy service fees in 2005. Inter-company policy service fees from U-Haul are recorded net against operating expenses. The reduction in these fees collected is the primary reason for the increase in operating expenses.
 
Pretax earnings from operations were $1.6 million and $0.4 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase over 2004 is the result of the elimination of unprofitable programs.
 
Oxford Life Insurance Company
 
Quarter Ended March 31, 2005 compared with the Quarter Ended March 31, 2004
 
Net premiums were $30.0 million, $33.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Medicare supplement premiums decreased by $1.4 million from 2004 due to lapses on closed lines being greater than new business written on active lines. Credit insurance premiums decreased $1.6 million from 2004 due to fewer accounts. We are no longer pursuing growth in credit insurance. Life, other health, and annuity premiums decreased $0.6 million from 2004 primarily from reduced life insurance sales and fewer annuitizations. Other income decreased by $1.4 million primarily due to a decrease in surrender charge income.
 
Net investment income was $6.7 million and $6.2 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase was primarily due to a positive variance in capital gains offset by a lower balance of invested assets.


 
Benefits incurred were $21.9 million and $24.1 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Medicare supplement benefits decreased $0.6 million from 2004 due primarily to reduced exposure. Credit insurance benefits decreased $0.6 million from 2004 due to reduced exposure. Annuity insurance benefits decreased $0.7 million from 2004. All other lines had decreases totaling $0.3 million from 2004.
 
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) and the value of business acquired (VOBA) was $5.3 million and $6.6 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. These costs are amortized for life and health policies as the premium is earned over the term of the policy; and for deferred annuities in relation to interest spreads. Annuity amortization decreased $0.9 million from 2004 primarily due to reduced surrender activity. Other segments, primarily credit, had decreases of $0.4 million from 2004 due to decreased new business volume.
 
Operating expenses were $7.4 million and $8.3 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease is attributable to lower legal costs as well as reduced overhead. Non-deferrable commissions fell $0.4 million from 2004 primarily due to lower sales of credit and Medicare supplement products.
 
Earnings from operations were $3.4 million and $3.7 million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Lower revenue was primarily offset by lower operating costs and overhead expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We believe our current capital structure will allow us to achieve our operational plans and goals, and provide us with sufficient liquidity for the next 3 to 5 years. The majority of the obligations currently in place mature either at the end of fiscal years 2010 or 2015. As a result, we believe that our liquidity is strong. This will allow us to focus on our operations and business to further improve our liquidity in the long term. We believe these improvements will enhance our future access to capital markets. However, there is no assurance that future cash flows will be sufficient to meet our outstanding obligations or our future capital needs.
 
At June 30, 2005, cash and cash equivalents totaled $229.5 million, compared with $56.0 million on March 31, 2005.
 
On June 29, 2005 the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility with Merrill Lynch Commercial Finance Corporation. The facility has a $150 million maximum amount available with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%. As of June 30, 2005 the Company had not drawn on this revolving credit facility.


 
At June 30, 2005, notes and loans payable were $953.9 million, and represented 1.6 times stockholders’ equity. At March 31, 2005, notes and loans payable were $780.0 million, and represented 1.4 times stockholders’ equity.
 
For the first quarter of fiscal 2006, cash provided by operating activities were $51.7 million, compared with $62.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
 
We used $34.8 million in net cash from investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, whereas in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 we generated cash from investing activities of $145.1 million provided in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. The majority of the decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was related to the W. P. Carey Transactions. Gross capital expenditures were $75.4 million and $62.3 million for the first quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. Capital dispositions were $15.1 million and $184.2 million for the first quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Financing activities provided $158.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. This compares with usage of $233.8 million from financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The primary reason for the increase in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 is the completion of the new financing.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Requirements of Our Operating Segments
 
Moving and Self-Storage
 
To meet the needs of our customers, U-Haul maintains a large fleet of rental equipment. Historically, capital expenditures have primarily reflected new rental equipment acquisitions. The capital required to fund these expenditures has historically been obtained through internally generated funds from operations and externally from lease financing and sales of used equipment. Going forward, we anticipate that a substantial portion of our internally generated funds will be used to enhance liquidity by paying down existing indebtedness. During each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, U-Haul estimates that net capital expenditures will average approximately $150.0 million to maintain its fleet at current levels. Management estimates that U-Haul will fund its fleet expansion requirements from leasing and from the proceeds from the sale of trucks. We intend to focus our growth on expanding our independent dealer network, which does not require a substantial amount of capital resources. Gross capital expenditures were $75.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
 
Real Estate has traditionally financed the acquisition of self-storage properties to support U-Haul’s growth through lease and debt financing. U-Haul’s growth plan in self-storage is focused on eMove, which does not require acquisition or construction of self-storage properties by the Company. Therefore, we do not anticipate that Real Estate will require substantial capital for its future plans.
 
Property and Casualty Insurance
 
At March 31, 2005, RepWest had no notes and loans due in less than one year and its accounts payable and accrued expenses were $5.2 million. RepWest financial assets (cash, receivables, inventories, and short-term investments) at the end of the first quarter, were $360.1 million. State insurance regulations restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid to stockholders of insurance companies. As a result, RepWest’s funds are generally not available to satisfy the claims of AMERCO or its legal subsidiaries.
 
Stockholder’s equity was $155.0 million and $154.8 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. RepWest does not use debt or equity issues to increase capital and therefore has no exposure to capital market conditions.
 
Life Insurance
 
As of March 31, 2005, Oxford is due to make a $1.0 million principal payment to AMERCO on an inter-company surplus note issued in 1998; Oxford had no other notes and loans payable in less than one year. Its accounts payable and accrued expenses total approximately $7.0 million. Oxford’s financial assets (cash, receivables, short-term investments, other investments and fixed maturities) at March 31, 2005 were approximately $749.1 million. State insurance regulations restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid to stockholders of insurance companies. As a result, Oxford’s funds are generally not available to satisfy the claims of AMERCO or its legal subsidiaries.


 
Oxford’s stockholder’s equity was $112.8 million, $115.0 million as of March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively. Increases from earnings were offset by decreases in unrealized gains resulting from the change in interest rates.
 
SAC Holding II
 
SAC Holding II operations are funded by various mortgage loans, and secured and unsecured notes. SAC Holding II does not utilize revolving lines of credit to finance its operations or acquisitions. Certain of SAC Holding II loan agreements contain restrictive covenants and restrictions on incurring additional subsidiary indebtedness.
 
Cash Provided from Operating Activities by Operating Segments
 
Moving and Self-Storage
 
Cash provided from operating activities from U-Haul was $122.3 million and $75.1 million in the first quarters of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively. Cash provided (used) from operating activities for Real Estate was $(28.9) million and $6.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Property and Casualty Insurance
 
Cash flows (used) by operating activities were $(5.8) million and $(19.1) million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The cash used by operating activities was the result of RepWest’s exiting its non Self-Storage and Self-Moving lines and the associated reduction of reserves in the lines exited.
 
RepWest’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment portfolio were $98.3 million and $90.3 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. This balance includes funds in transition from maturity proceeds to long term investments. We believe that this level of liquid assets, combined with budgeted cash flow, is adequate to meet periodic needs. Capital and operating budgets allow RepWest to schedule cash needs in accordance with investment and underwriting proceeds.
 
Life Insurance
 
Cash flows provided (used) by operating activities were $(6.0) million and $9.5 million, for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in the operating cash out-flow was the $12.8 million settlement of the Kocher litigation, net of the $2.2 million recovery from Oxford’s errors and omissions insurance carrier.
 
In addition to cash flows from operating activities and financing activities, a substantial amount of liquid funds is available through Oxford’s short-term portfolio. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, short-term investments amounted to $65.1million and $113.8 million, respectively. Management believes that the overall sources of liquidity will continue to meet foreseeable cash needs.
 
SAC Holding II
 
Cash provided by operating activities at SAC Holding II was $0.9 million and $0.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. The primary source of cash in fiscal 2006 was a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The primary use of cash in fiscal 2005 was the deconsolidation of SAC Holding Corporation.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources-Summary
 
We believe we have the financial resources needed to meet our business requirements including capital expenditures for the expansion and modernization of our rental fleet, rental equipment and rental storage space, working capital requirements and our preferred stock dividend program.
 
For a more detailed discussion of our long-term debt and borrowing capacity, please see footnote 3 “Borrowings” to the “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”
 
  Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
AMERCO used certain equipment and occupies certain facilities under operating lease commitments with terms expiring substantially through 2034 with the exception of one land lease expiring in 2079. In the event of a shortfall in proceeds from the sale of the underlying assets, AMERCO has guaranteed approximately $157.7 million of residual values at June 30, 2005 for these assets at the end of the respective lease terms. AMERCO has been leasing equipment since 1987 and, thus far, we have experienced no residual value shortfalls.


 
The Company uses off-balance sheet arrangements where the economics and sound business principles warrant their use. The Company’s principal use of off-balance sheet arrangements occurred in connection with the expansion of our self-storage business. The Company currently manages the self-storage properties owned by SAC Holding II and its affiliates, pursuant to a standard form of management agreement with each SAC Holding II subsidiary and its affiliates, pursuant to which the Company receives a management fee based on the gross receipts from the properties plus reimbursement for certain expenses. We received management fees, exclusive of expenses, of $0.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. This management fee is consistent with the fees we received from unrelated parties for other properties we have managed.
 
Certain subsidiaries of SAC Holding II and its affiliates act as U-Haul dealers. The financial and other terms of the dealership contracts with subsidiaries of SAC Holding II and its affiliates are substantially identical to the terms of those with our over 14,000 independent dealers. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we paid subsidiaries of SAC Holding II $2.5 million in commissions pursuant to such dealership contracts.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, a subsidiary of the Company held various senior and junior unsecured notes of SAC Holdings. The Company recorded interest income of $5.4 million and received cash interest payments of $4.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
 
Fiscal 2006 Outlook
 
We have many exciting developments which we believe should positively affect performance in fiscal 2006. We believe the momentum in our Moving and Storage Operations will continue. We are investing strongly in our truck rental fleet to further strengthen U-Haul’s “do-it-yourself” moving business. We placed purchase orders last fall for 6,750 of our largest rental trucks and expect to have them fully in service by mid-August. This investment is expected to increase the number of rentable truck days available to meet our customer’s demand and will reduce future spending on repair costs and equipment down-time.
 
At RepWest, our plans to exit non-U-Haul lines of business are progressing well.
 
At Oxford, the Kocher litigation settlement should produce improved ratings, which in turn should support the expansion of its distribution capabilities.
 
Also, we completed the refinancing of the Company’s debt on June 8, 2005. This action increased our borrowing capacity by more than $195.0 million and will reduce our effective borrowing rates. Additionally, the new debt increases our financial flexibility thus enabling us to complete the fleet investment plans outlined above. The early extinguishment of our existing debt resulted in a one time pre-tax charge of approximately $35.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
 
Our objectives for fiscal 2006 are to position our rental fleet to achieve revenue and transaction growth and continue to drive down operating costs.

The above factors, the following disclosures, as well as other statements in this report and in the “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”, could contribute to or cause such differences, or could cause our stock price to fluctuate dramatically. Consequently, the forward-looking statements should not be regarded as representations or warranties by the Company that such matters will be realized. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, unforeseen events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
 
Risk Factors
 
We operate in a highly competitive industry.
 
The truck rental industry is highly competitive and includes a number of significant national, regional and local competitors. Competition is generally based on convenience of rental locations, availability of quality rental moving equipment, breadth of essential services and price. In our truck rental business, we face competition from Budget Car and Truck Rental Company and Penske Truck Leasing. Some of our competitors may have greater financial resources than we have. We cannot assure you that we will not be forced to reduce our rental prices or delay price increases.
 
The self-storage industry is large and highly fragmented. We believe the principle competitive factors in this industry are convenience of storage rental locations, cleanliness, security and price. Our primary competitors in the self-storage market are Public Storage, Shurgard, Storage USA and others. Competition in the market areas in which we operate is significant and affects the occupancy levels, rental sales and operating expenses of our facilities. Competition might cause us to experience a decrease in occupancy levels, limit our ability to raise rental sales and require us to offer discounted rates that would have a material affect on operating results.
 
Entry into the self-storage business through acquisition of existing facilities is possible for persons or institutions with the required initial capital. Development of new self-storage facilities is more difficult; however, due to zoning, environmental and other regulatory requirements. The self-storage industry has in the past experienced overbuilding in response to perceived increases in demand. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete in existing markets or expand into new markets.


 
Control of AMERCO remains in the hands of a small contingent.
 
As of June 30, 2005, Edward J. Shoen, Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of AMERCO, James P. Shoen, a director of AMERCO, and Mark V. Shoen, an executive officer of AMERCO, collectively control 8,890,224 shares (approximately 41.8%) of the outstanding common shares of AMERCO. Accordingly, Edward J. Shoen, Mark V. Shoen and James P. Shoen will be in a position to continue to influence the election of the members of the Board of Directors and approval of significant transactions. In addition, 2,130,134 shares (approximately 10.0%) of the outstanding common shares of AMERCO, including shares allocated to employees and unallocated shares, are held by our Employee Savings and Employee Stock Ownership Trust.
 
Our operations subject us to numerous environmental regulations and the possibility that environmental liability in the future could adversely affect our operations.
 
Compliance with environmental requirements of federal, state and local governments significantly affects our business. 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. Under environmental laws, we can be held strictly liable for hazardous substances that are found on real property we have owned or operated. We are aware of issues regarding hazardous substances on some of our real estate and we have put in place a remedial plan at each site where we believe such a plan is necessary. We regularly make capital and operating expenditures to stay in compliance with environmental laws. In particular, we have managed a testing and removal program since 1988 for our underground storage tanks. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of environmental liability is part of the nature of our business.
 
Environmental laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and could become more stringent in the future. We cannot assure you that future compliance with these regulations or future environmental liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Our business is seasonal.
 
Our business is seasonal and our results of operations and cash flows fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Historically, revenues have been stronger in the first and second fiscal quarters due to the overall increase in moving activity during the spring and summer months. The fourth fiscal quarter is generally weakest, when there is a greater potential for adverse weather conditions.
 
We obtain our rental trucks from a limited number of manufacturers.
 
In the last ten years, we purchased all of our rental trucks from Ford and General Motors. Although we believe that we have alternative sources of supply for our rental trucks, termination of one or both of our relationships with these suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Our property and casualty insurance business has suffered extensive losses.
 
Since January 2000, our property and casualty insurance business, RepWest, reported losses totaling approximately $162.5 million. These losses are primarily attributable to business lines that were unprofitable as underwritten. To restore profitability in RepWest, we have exited all non U-Haul related lines and have strengthened the reserves on the lines being eliminated. Although we believe the terminated lines are adequately reserved, we cannot assure you that there will not be future adverse reserve development.
 
Our life insurance business was downgraded by A.M. Best due to events surrounding the restructuring
 
During AMERCO’s restructuring in 2003, A.M. Best downgraded Oxford and its subsidiaries to C+. Upon AMERCO’s emergence from bankruptcy in March 2004, Oxford and its subsidiaries were upgraded to B-. The ratings were again upgraded in October 2004 to B. A.M. Best has indicated the rating outlook for our life insurance companies is positive. Prior to AMERCO’s restructuring, Oxford was rated B++. Financial strength ratings are important external factors that can affect the success of Oxford’s business plans. Accordingly, if Oxford’s ratings, relative to its competitors, do not continue to improve, Oxford may not be able to retain and attract business as currently planned.


 
Notes receivable from SAC Holdings are a significant portion of AMERCO’s total assets.
 
At June 30, 2005, we held approximately $203.7 million of notes due from SAC Holdings of which $75.1 million have been eliminated in the consolidating financial statements, we have significant economic exposure to SAC Holdings. SAC Holdings is highly leveraged with significant indebtedness to others. We hold various junior unsecured notes of SAC Holdings. If SAC Holdings is unable to meet its obligations to its senior lenders, it could trigger a default on its obligations to us. In such an event of default, we could suffer a significant loss to the extent the value of the underlying collateral on our loans to SAC Holdings is inadequate to repay SAC Holdings senior lenders and us. We cannot assure you that SAC Holdings will not default on its loans to their senior lenders or that the value of SAC Holdings assets upon liquidation would be sufficient to repay us in full.
 
We face risks related to an SEC investigation and securities litigation.
 
The SEC has issued a formal order of investigation to determine whether we have violated the Federal securities laws. Although we have cooperated with the SEC in this matter and intend to continue to cooperate, the SEC may determine that we have violated Federal securities laws. We cannot predict when this investigation will be completed or its outcome. If the SEC makes a determination that we have violated Federal securities laws, we may face sanctions, including, but not limited to, significant monetary penalties and injunctive relief.
 
In addition, the Company has been named a defendant in a number of class action and related lawsuits. The findings and outcome of the SEC investigation may affect the class-action lawsuits that are pending. We are generally obliged, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify our directors and officers who are named defendants in some of these lawsuits. We are unable to estimate what our liability in these matters may be, and we may be required to pay judgments or settlements and incur expenses in aggregate amounts that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we may utilize derivative financial instruments, among other strategies. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
The exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our variable rate debt obligations. We have used interest rate swap agreements to provide for matching the gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with 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. At June 30, 2005, the Company had two interest rate swap contracts for $100 million each that serve to partially offset the changes in the variable interest rate of the Real Estate Backed Loan. On May 13, 2004, the Company entered into separate interest rate cap contracts for $200 million of its variable rate debt obligations for a two year term and for $50 million of its variable rate debt obligations for a three year term. At June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $465,000 of variable debt obligations. A fluctuation in the interest rates of 100 basis points would change interest expense for the Company by approximately $4.7 million annually (before consideration of the swap and cap contracts.)
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
 
The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to our Canadian business. Approximately 2.0% of our revenue is generated in Canada. The result of a 10.0% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would not be material. We typically do not hedge any foreign currency risk since the exposure is not considered material.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Attached as exhibits to this Form 10-Q are certifications of AMERCO’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Accounting Officer (CAO), which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). This “Controls and Procedures” section includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
 

  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (Disclosure Controls) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. This evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CAO. Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC's) rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CAO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Disclosure Controls include components of our internal control over financial reporting which consists of control processes designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. Internal control over financial reporting is also separately evaluated on an annual basis for purposes of providing the management report which is set forth in our Form 10-K.
 
The evaluation of our Disclosure Controls included a review of the controls' objectives and design, the company's implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report.
 
In the course of the controls evaluation, we reviewed identified data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and sought to confirm that appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions of management, including the CEO and CAO, concerning the effectiveness of the Disclosure Controls can be reported in our periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K. Many of the components of our Disclosure Controls are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by our Internal Audit Department and by other personnel in our Finance organization. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls, and to modify them as necessary. Our intent is to maintain the Disclosure Controls as dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant.
 
Based upon the controls evaluation, our CEO and CAO have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted in this Item 4, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our Disclosure Controls were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC and that material information relating to AMERCO and its consolidated entities is made known to management, including the CEO and CAO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared.
 
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
 
The company's management, including the CEO and CAO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

During the fiscal quarter covered by this report we made no change in our internal control over financial reporting which materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
