AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
 

 
 
1.      Basis of Presentation
 
The second fiscal quarter for AMERCO ends on the 30th of September for each year that is referenced. Our insurance company subsidiaries have a second quarter that ends on the 30th of June for each year that is referenced. They have been consolidated on that basis. Our insurance companies’ financial reporting processes conform to calendar year reporting as required by state insurance departments. Management believes that consolidating their calendar year into our fiscal year financial statements does not materially affect the disclosure of our financial position or results of operations. The Company discloses any material events occurring during the intervening period. Consequently, all references to our insurance subsidiaries’ years 2007 and 2006 correspond to the Company’s fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies have been translated 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 second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, and the balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 include the accounts of AMERCO and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and SAC Holding II Corporation and its subsidiaries (“SAC Holding II”).
 
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2007 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the second quarter and the first six months and the cash flows for the first six months ended fiscal 2008 and 2007 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 2007 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,
 
   Oxford Life Insurance Company (“Oxford”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
 
 
Interest paid in cash by AMERCO amounted to $25.9 million and $17.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively.
 
Interest paid in cash by AMERCO (excluding any fees from the early extinguishment of debt) amounted to $46.0 million and $33.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively.
 
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. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $633.8 million of variable rate debt obligations. 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. These swap contracts were cancelled on August 16, 2006 in conjunction with our amendment of the Real Estate Loan and we entered into a new interest rate swap contract for $300.0 million of our variable rate debt over a twelve year term effective on August 18, 2006. 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, effective July 11, 2005 when the Real Estate Loan was paid down by $222.4 million the cash flow hedge designations for these contracts were removed. The $200.0 million interest rate cap contract expired on May 17, 2006 and the $50.0 million interest rate cap contract expired on May 17, 2007. 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 a forward starting 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 a forward starting interest rate swap contract for $144.9 million of a variable rate debt over a six year term that started on October 10, 2006. On February 9, 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract for $30.0 million of our variable rate debt over a seven year term that started on February 12, 2007. On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into two separate interest rate swap contracts each for $20.0 million of our variable rate debt over a seven year term that started on March 10, 2007. These interest rate swap agreements were designated cash flow hedges on their effective dates.
 
The interest rate cap agreement is no longer designated as a hedge as it was replaced with an interest rate swap agreement when the associated debt was replaced in fiscal 2007. Therefore all changes in the interest rate caps fair value (including changes in the option’s time value), are recorded to earnings. Previously the change in each caplets’ respective allocated fair value amount was reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings when each of the hedged forecasted transactions (the quarterly interest payments) impact earnings and when interest payments are either made or received.
 
The hedging relationship of the interest rate swap agreements is not considered to be perfectly effective.  Therefore, for each reporting period an effectiveness test is performed. For the portion of the change in the interest rate swaps fair value deemed effective, this is charged to accumulated other comprehensive income. The remaining ineffective portion is charged to interest expense for the period. For the six months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the Company recorded interest income related to these swap agreements of $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, all of which represented the ineffective component of the swaps that impacted earnings during the period.

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 2012, with the exception of one land lease expiring in 2034. At September 30, 2007, AMERCO has guaranteed $170.1 million of residual values for these rental equipment 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 relating to these types of residual value guarantees.

7. Contingencies
 
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 prior to the filing of the complaint. 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 July 13, 2006, the Nevada Supreme Court reviewed and remanded the claim to the trial court for proceedings consistent with its ruling, allowing the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint and plead in addition to substantive claims, demand futility. On November 8, 2006, the nominal plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint. On December 22, 2006, the defendants filed Motions to Dismiss. Briefing was concluded on February 21, 2007. On March 29, 2007, the Court denied AMERCO’s motion to dismiss regarding the issue of demand futility. On March 30, 2007, the Court heard oral argument on the remainder of the Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss and requested supplemental briefing. The supplemental briefs were filed on May 14, 2007. In September and October of 2007, the defendants filed Motions For Judgment on the Pleadings or, In the Alternative, Summary Judgment. We are currently awaiting the Court’s rulings on these motions.
 
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 $7.6 million in total 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 management’s opinion none of these other matters will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition and ongoing 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.
 
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.
 
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 revenues from the SAC Holdings self-storage properties that the Company manages.
 
During the first six months of fiscal 2008, 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. The Company recorded interest income of $9.4 million and $9.8 million, and received cash interest payments of $10.2 million and $37.2 million, from SAC Holdings during the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. The cash interest payments for the first six months of fiscal 2007 included a payment to significantly reduce the outstanding interest receivable from SAC Holdings. The largest aggregate amount of notes receivable outstanding during the first six months of fiscal 2008 was $203.7 million and the aggregate notes receivable balance at September 30, 2007 was $198.4 million, of which $75.1 million is with SAC Holding II and has been eliminated in the consolidating financial statements. In accordance with the terms of these notes, SAC Holdings may repay the notes without penalty or premium.
 
Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance of junior notes of SAC Holdings that the Company holds at a 9.0% rate per annum. A fixed portion of that basic interest is paid on a monthly basis. Additional interest can be earned on notes totaling $122.2 million of principal depending upon the amount of remaining basic interest and 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 a portion of the appreciation realized upon, among other things, the sale of such property by SAC Holdings. To date, no excess cash flows related to these arrangements have been earned or paid.
 
During the first six months of fiscal 2008, AMERCO and U-Haul held various junior notes with Private Mini Storage Realty, L.P. (“Private Mini”). The equity interests of Private Mini are ultimately controlled by Blackwater. The Company recorded interest income of $2.5 million during the first six months of both fiscal 2008 and 2007, and received cash interest payments of $2.5 million from Private Mini during the first six months of both fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. The balance of notes receivable from Private Mini at September 30, 2007 was $69.6 million. The largest aggregate amount outstanding during fiscal 2008 was $70.1 million.

AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

The Company currently manages the self-storage properties owned or leased by SAC Holdings, Mercury Partners, L.P. (“Mercury”), Four SAC Self-Storage Corporation (“4 SAC”), Five SAC Self-Storage Corporation (“5 SAC”), Galaxy Investments, L.P. (“Galaxy”) and 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 reimbursed expenses, of $15.0 million and $9.2 million from the above mentioned entities during the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, 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.
 
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 $1.3 million for each of the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007. 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 September 30, 2007, 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 whereby commissions are paid by the Company based upon equipment rental revenues. For the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, the Company paid the above mentioned entities $20.8 million and $21.2 million, respectively in commissions pursuant to such dealership contracts.
 
These agreements and notes with subsidiaries of SAC Holdings, 4 SAC, 5 SAC, Galaxy and Private Mini, excluding Dealer Agreements, provided revenues of $20.4 million, expenses of $1.3 million and cash flows of $49.4 million during the first six months of fiscal 2008.  Revenues and commission expenses related to the Dealer Agreements were $97.3 million and $20.8 million, respectively.
 
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 Holdings Corporation.
 
On September 1, 2007, SAC Holding Corporation issued a promissory note to U-Haul. As part of the note, the Company reclassified $20.0 million of deferred interest due from SAC Holding Corporation to a note receivable. The note accrues interest at 9.0% per annum with interest payments due quarterly and a final maturity in 2019.
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2008 the Company received $20.1 million from SAC Holding Corporation as full repayment for one of its junior notes.

9. Consolidating Financial Information by Industry Segment
 
AMERCO has four reportable segments. They are Moving and Storage, 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 condensed consolidating statements.
 
This section includes condensed consolidating financial information which presents the condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007 and the related condensed consolidating statements of operations for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007 and the condensed consolidating cash flow statements for the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007 for:

AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
 
 
 
11. Tax
 
Effective April 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No.48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FAS 109. FIN 48 prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement methodology that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $6.8 million decrease to reserves for uncertain tax positions. This decrease is presented as an increase in the beginning balance of retained earnings.
 
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at April 1, 2007 was $6.3 million. This entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if resolved in our favor, would favorably impact our effective tax rate.
 
The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense, and penalties as operating expenses. At April 1, 2007, the amount of interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits was $2.3 million, net of tax.
 
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With some exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to audit for years prior to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

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 operating segments and the strategy of our operating 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 Policies and 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 second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007 beginning with an overview. We then provide an analysis of changes in our balance sheets 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 2008.
 
This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The various sections of this MD&A contain a number of forward-looking statements, as discussed under the caption “Cautionary Statements Regarding 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. Our actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
 
The second fiscal quarter for AMERCO ends on the 30th of September for each year that is referenced. Our insurance company subsidiaries have a second quarter that ends on the 30th of June for each year that is referenced. They have been consolidated on that basis. Our insurance companies’ financial reporting processes conform to calendar year reporting as required by state insurance departments. Management believes that consolidating their calendar year into our fiscal year financial statements does not materially affect the disclosure of our financial position or results of operations. The Company discloses any material events occurring during the intervening period. Consequently, all references to our insurance subsidiaries’ years 2007 and 2006 correspond to the Company’s fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Overall Strategy
 
Our overall strategy is to maintain our leadership position in the North American “do-it-yourself” moving and storage industry. We 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.
 
RepWest is focused on providing and administering property and casualty insurance to U-Haul, its customers, its independent dealers and affiliates.
 
Oxford is focused on long-term capital growth through direct writing and reinsuring of life, Medicare supplement and annuity products in the senior marketplace.
 
Description of Operating Segments
 
AMERCO has four reportable segments. They are Moving and Storage, Property and Casualty Insurance, Life Insurance and SAC Holding II.
 
Moving and Storage Operating Segment
 
Our Moving and Storage Operating Segment consists of the rental of trucks, trailers, specialty rental items and self-storage spaces primarily to the household mover as well as sales of moving supplies, towing accessories and propane. Operations are conducted under the registered trade name U-Haul® throughout the United States and Canada.

33


 
With respect to our truck, trailer, specialty rental items 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.
 
U-Haul brand self-moving related products and services, such as boxes, pads and tape allow our customers to, among other things, protect their belongings from potential damage during the moving process. We are committed to providing a complete line of products selected with the “do-it-yourself” moving and storage customer in mind.
 
AMERCO has a sustainability initiative and believes implementing it is good business and part of being a good corporate citizen. In the near term this means to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. In addition to existing programs, the Company has launched some new programs to advance its sustainability initiative including U-Car Share, "take a box, leave a box", and an Internet-based Box Exchange program.
 
eMove is an online marketplace that connects consumers to over 3,600 independent Moving Help™ service providers and over 3,000 independent Self-Storage Affiliates. Our network of customer-rated affiliates provides pack and load help, cleaning help, self-storage and similar services, all over North America.
 
An individual or a company can connect to the eMove network by becoming an eMove Moving Help® Affiliate or an eMove Storage Affiliate™.  Moving Helpers 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 a centralized 1-800 and internet reservation system and for a fee, receive an array of services including web-based management software, Secured Online Affiliated Rentals (S.O.A.R®), co-branded rental trucks, savings on insurance, credit card processing and more.
 
The marketplace includes unedited reviews of independent Affiliates, and has facilitated thousands of Moving Help® and Self-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 underwrites 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 provides life and health insurance products primarily to the senior market through the direct writing or reinsuring of life insurance, and Medicare supplement and annuity policies. Additionally, Oxford administers the self-insured employee health and dental plans for Arizona employees of the Company.
 
SAC Holding II Operating Segment
 
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).
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  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. Certain accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments and assumptions, often as a result of estimating matters that are inherently uncertain.

34


 
Below we have set forth, with a detailed description, the accounting policies that we deem most critical to us and that require management’s most difficult and subjective judgments. These 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.
 
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. The accounting policies that we deem most critical to us, and involve the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments include the following:
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The Company applies FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” and ARB 51 in its principles of consolidation. FIN 46(R) addresses arrangements where a company does not hold a majority of the voting or similar interests of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A company is required to consolidate a VIE if it is determined it is the primary beneficiary. ARB 51 addresses the policy when a company owns a majority of the voting or similar rights and exercises effective control.
 
As promulgated by FIN 46(R), a VIE is not self-supportive due to having one or both of the following conditions: a) it has an insufficient amount of equity for it to finance its activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support or b) its owners do not hold the typical risks and rights of equity owners. This determination is made upon the creation of a variable interest and can be re-assessed should certain changes in the operations of a VIE, or its relationship with the primary beneficiary trigger a reconsideration under the provisions of FIN 46(R). After a triggering event occurs the most recent facts and circumstances are utilized in determining whether or not a company is a variable interest entity, which other company(s) have a variable interest in the entity, and whether or not the company’s interest is such that it is the primary beneficiary.
 
The consolidated financial statements for the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 and the balance sheet as of March 31, 2007, include the accounts of AMERCO and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and SAC Holding II and its subsidiaries.
 
In fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, 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 FIN 46(R) to its interests in SAC Holdings. Initially, the Company concluded that SAC Holdings were VIE’s and that the Company was the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company continued to include SAC Holdings in its consolidated financial statements.
 
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 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 and 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 SAC Holding Corporations 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.

35


 
Similarly, SAC Holding II 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. Should we cease to be the primary beneficiary, we would be required to deconsolidate some or all of our variable interest in SAC Holding II from our financial statements.
 
Recoverability of Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Interest expense incurred during the initial construction of buildings and rental equipment is considered part of cost. Depreciation is computed for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line or an accelerated method based on a declining balance formula over the following estimated useful lives: rental equipment 2-20 years and buildings and non-rental equipment 3-55 years. The Company follows the deferral method of accounting based in the AICPA’s Airline Guide for major overhauls in which engine overhauls are capitalized and amortized over five years and transmission overhauls are capitalized and amortized over three years. 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. Equipment depreciation is recognized in amounts expected to result in the recovery of estimated residual values upon disposal, i.e., no gains or losses. In determining the depreciation rate, historical disposal experience, holding periods and trends in the market for vehicles are reviewed.
 
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. Reductions in residual values (i.e., the price at which we ultimately expect to dispose of revenue earning equipment) or useful lives will result in an increase in depreciation expense over the life of the equipment. Reviews are performed based on vehicle class, generally subcategories of trucks and trailers. 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. We consider factors such as current and expected future market price trends on used vehicles and the expected life of vehicles included in the fleet. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If asset residual values are determined to be recoverable, but the useful lives are shorter or longer than originally estimated, the net book value of the assets is depreciated over the newly determined remaining useful lives.
 
Since fiscal 2006 the Company has been acquiring a significant number of moving trucks via purchase rather than lease. Management performed an analysis of the expected economic value of new rental trucks and determined that additions to the fleet resulting from purchase should be depreciated on an accelerated method based upon a declining formula. The salvage value and useful life assumptions of the rental truck fleet remain unchanged. Under the declining balances method (2.4 times declining balance) the book value of a rental truck is reduced 16%, 13%, 11%, 9%, 8%, 7%, and 6% during years one through seven, respectively and then reduced on a straight line basis an additional 10% by the end of year fifteen. In contrast, a standard straight line approach would reduce the book value by approximately 5.3% per year over the life of the truck. For the affected equipment, the accelerated depreciation was $14.0 million and $8.3 million greater than what it would have been if calculated under a straight line approach for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively and $26.7 million and $13.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
We typically sell our used vehicles at one of our sales centers throughout North America, on our web site at trucksales.uhaul.com or by phone at 1-866-404-0355. Although we intend to sell our used vehicles for prices approximating book value, the extent to which we realize a gain or loss on the sale of used vehicles is dependent upon various factors including the general state of the used vehicle market, the age and condition of the vehicle at the time of its disposal and depreciation rates with respect to the vehicle.
 
Insurance Reserves
 
Liabilities for life insurance and certain annuity and health policies are established to meet the estimated future obligations of policies in force, and are based on mortality, morbidity and withdrawal assumptions from recognized actuarial tables which contain provisions for adverse deviation. In addition, liabilities for health, disability and other policies include estimates of payments to be made on insurance claims for reported losses and estimates of losses incurred, but not yet reported. Liabilities for annuity contracts consist of contract account balances that accrue to the benefit of the policyholders.

36


 
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.
 
Impairment of 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, management makes certain assumptions or judgments in its assessment including but not limited to: ability and intent to hold the security, quoted market prices, dealer quotes or discounted cash flows, industry factors, financial factors, and issuer specific information such as credit strength. Other-than-temporary impairment in value is recognized in the current period operating results. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries recognized $0.2 million and $0.1 million in other-than-temporary impairments for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively and $0.3 million and $1.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company’s tax returns are periodically reviewed by various taxing authorities. Despite our belief that all of our tax treatments are supportable, the final outcome of these audits may cause changes that could materially impact our financial results. Our current effective tax rate is approximately 38.5%.
 
AMERCO files a consolidated tax return with all of its legal subsidiaries, except for DGLIC which will file on a stand alone basis. SAC Holding Corporation and its legal subsidiaries and SAC Holding II Corporation and its legal subsidiaries file consolidated tax returns, which are in no way associated with AMERCO’s consolidated returns.
 
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Effective April 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No.48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FAS 109. FIN 48 prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement methodology that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $6.8 million decrease to reserves for uncertain tax positions. This decrease is presented as an increase in the beginning balance of retained earnings.
 
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at April 1, 2007 was $6.3 million. This entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if resolved in our favor, would favorably impact our effective tax rate.
 
The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense, and penalties as operating expenses. At April 1, 2007, the amount of interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits was $2.3 million, net of tax.
 
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With some exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to audit for years prior to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements which establishes how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for us in April 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

37


 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, including an amendment of SFAS 115. This statement allows for a company to irrevocably elect fair value as the measurement attribute for certain financial assets and financial liabilities. Changes in the fair value of such assets are recognized in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The provision of SFAS 159 is effective for us in April 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, self-moving equipment rentals decreased $5.9 million, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The decline was largely due to fewer one-way rentals and lower average one-way revenue per transaction resulting in lower than expected utilization. However, in-town transactions have increased compared with the same period last year resulting in an increase in total rental transactions.
 
Self-storage revenues increased $0.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2007 due to improved pricing.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company has increased rooms and square footage available primarily through build-outs at existing facilities.
 
Sales of self-moving and self-storage products and service sales increased $0.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2007, with the largest increases occurring in propane sales and moving supplies.
 
Premiums at RepWest increased $0.9 million due to increases in U-Haul related business.
 
Oxford’s premium revenues decreased approximately $3.2 million primarily as a result of decreases in credit and Medicare supplement premiums.
 
As a result of the items mentioned above, revenues for AMERCO and its consolidated entities were $600.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with $606.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Total costs and expenses increased $11.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2007. This is due primarily to increases in depreciation expense associated with the fleet rotation partially offset by reductions in maintenance and repair costs.
 
As a result of the aforementioned changes in revenues and expenses, earnings from operations decreased to $109.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with $126.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
 
Interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was $27.5 million, compared with $28.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The second quarter of fiscal 2007 included a one-time, non-recurring charge of $7.0 million, before taxes, of deferred debt issuance costs related to the Real Estate Loan that was amended in the quarter. The refinancing costs had the effect of decreasing on a non-recurring basis, earnings in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 by $0.33 per share before taxes, in which the tax effect was approximately $0.13 per share. Absent this charge, the increase in interest expense in fiscal 2008 is related to increased debt associated with the fleet rotation.
 
Income tax expense was $31.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with $37.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and reflects lower pretax earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
 
Dividends accrued on our Series A preferred stock were $3.2 million in second quarter of fiscal 2008, unchanged from the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
 
As a result of the above mentioned items, earnings available to common shareholders were $47.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with $57.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
 
The weighted average common shares outstanding basic and diluted were 19,733,755 in second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with 20,910,204 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease is the result of the stock repurchase program.
 
Basic and diluted earnings per common share in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 were $2.39, compared with $2.74 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Republic Western Insurance Company
 
Quarter Ended June 30, 2007 compared with the QuarterEnded June 30, 2006
 
Premium revenues were $7.3 million and $6.5 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. U-Haul related premiums were $7.0 million and $5.8 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Other lines of business were $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Net investment income was $3.1 million and $2.8 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Net operating expenses, which are offset by claims handling fees, were $3.7 million and $2.0 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase is primarily due to $0.9 million in commissions associated with the additional liability program.
 
Benefits and losses incurred were $2.9 million and $5.0 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease is a result of reserve strengthening that was done in 2006 for discontinued lines.
 
Pretax earnings from operations were $3.7 million and $1.7 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Oxford Life Insurance Company
 
Quarter Ended June 30, 2007 compared with the Quarter Ended June 30, 2006
 
Premium revenues were $27.9 million and $31.5 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Medicare supplement premiums decreased by $1.6 million due to lapses in excess of new sales. Life insurance premiums decreased by $0.1 million primarily due to reductions in group life premiums and annuitizations, partially offset by increased sales of small face amount whole life premiums. Credit life and disability premiums decreased by $1.6 million as a result of no new sales following Oxford’s discontinuance of this business.
 
Net investment income was $5.3 million and $5.8 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a smaller invested asset base for the current period.
 
Net operating expenses were $6.5 million and $7.2 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease was mostly attributable to the reduction of expenses on credit life and disability due to business discontinuance.
 
Benefits incurred were $21.2 million and $21.9 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease is primarily the result of decreased credit life and disability business of $0.5 million and annuities of $0.6 million offset by benefit increases for health business of $0.5 million due to increases in claim costs.
 
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) and the value of business acquired (“VOBA”) was $3.2 million and $4.2 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense for the credit life and disability business decreased $1.1 million from 2006 primarily due to the attrition of business.
 
Earnings from operations were $3.6 million and $5.4 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

During the first six months of fiscal 2008, self-moving equipment rentals decreased $17.1 million, compared with the first six months of fiscal 2007. Contributing to this decrease are continued negative year-over-year trends in average one-way revenue per transaction related to pricing and lower than expected utilization. Conversely, the average size of the fleet is greater and the overall number of transactions has increased compared with the same period last year.
 
Self-storage revenues increased $2.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with the first six months of fiscal 2007 due to an increase in pricing. During the first six months of fiscal 2008, the Company has increased rooms and square footage available primarily through build-outs at existing facilities.

Sales of self-moving and self-storage products and service sales increased $1.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with the first six months of fiscal 2007, with the largest increases occurring in propane and moving supply sales.
 
Premiums at RepWest increased $1.4 million due to increases in U-Haul related business.
 
Oxford’s premium revenues decreased approximately $4.9 million primarily as a result of decreases in credit and Medicare supplement premiums.
 
As a result of the items mentioned above, revenues for AMERCO and its consolidated entities were $1,158.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with $1,172.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2007.
 
Listed below are revenues and earnings from operations at each of our four operating segments for the first six months of fiscal 2008 and the first six months of fiscal 2007; for the insurance companies the first six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Total costs and expenses increased $21.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with the first six months of fiscal 2007. This is due primarily to an increase in depreciation expense associated with the rotation of our fleet partially offset by reductions in rental fleet maintenance and repair costs.
 
As a result of the above mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, earnings from operations decreased to $201.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with $236.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2007.
 
Interest expense in the first six months of fiscal 2008 was $51.3 million, compared with $46.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2007. The second quarter of fiscal 2007 included a one-time, non-recurring charge of $7.0 million, before taxes, of deferred debt issuance costs related to the Real Estate Loan that was amended in the quarter. The refinancing costs had the effect of decreasing on a non-recurring basis, earnings in the first six months ended September 30, 2006 by $0.33 per share before taxes, in which the tax effect was approximately $0.13 per share. Absent this charge, the increase in interest expense in fiscal 2008 is related to increased debt associated with the fleet rotation.
 
Income tax expense was $57.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with $74.0 million in first six months of fiscal 2007 and reflects lower pretax earnings for the first six months of fiscal 2008.

Dividends accrued on our Series A preferred stock were $6.5 million in first six months of fiscal 2008, unchanged from the first six months of fiscal 2007.
 
As a result of the above mentioned items, earnings available to common shareholders were $85.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with $109.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2007.
 
The weighted average common shares outstanding basic and diluted were 19,850,874 in first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with 20,903,946 in the first six months of fiscal 2007. The decrease is the result of the stock repurchase program.
 
Basic and diluted earnings per common share in the first six months of fiscal 2008 were $4.32, compared with $5.23 in the first six months of fiscal 2007.

Total costs and expenses increased $22.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with the first six months of fiscal 2007. Increases in fleet rotation-related expenses including depreciation, licensing and freight costs were partially offset by reductions in maintenance and repair.
 
As a result of the above mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, earnings from operations decreased to $193.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with $228.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2007.
 
Republic Western Insurance Company
 
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
 
Premium revenues were $13.2 million and $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The overall increase is due to an increase in the U-Haul related lines of business. U-Haul related premiums were $12.7 million and $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The $2.4 million increase is due to RepWest adding an additional liability program which enables third party renters the ability to purchase higher limits. Other lines of business were $0.5 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Net investment income was $6.2 million and $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Net operating expenses, which are offset by claims handling fees, were $6.5 million and $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase is primarily due to $1.6 million in commissions associated with the additional liability program.
 
Benefits and losses incurred were $6.7 million and $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The decrease is a result of reserve strengthening that was done in 2006 for discontinued lines.
 
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs were $0.2 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease is due to decreased premium writings in the non U-Haul related lines of business.
 
Pretax earnings from operations were $6.0 million and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Oxford Life Insurance Company
 
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
 
Premium revenues were $57.1 million and $62.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Medicare supplement premiums decreased by $1.3 million due to lapses in excess of new sales. Life insurance premiums decreased by $0.3 million primarily due to reductions in group life premiums and annuitizations, partially offset by increased sales of small face amount whole life premiums. Credit life and disability premiums decreased by $3.8 million as a result of no new sales following Oxford’s discontinuance of this business.
 
Net investment income was $11.1 million and $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a smaller invested asset base for the current period.
 
Net operating expenses were $12.8 million and $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease was mostly attributable to the reduction of expenses on Credit life and disability due to business discontinuance.
 
Benefits incurred were $44.9 million and $46.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The decrease is primarily the result of decreased credit life and disability business of $1.1 million and annuities of $1.8 million is due to fewer annuitizations offset by increases for Medicare supplement of $1.1 million.
 
Amortization of DAC and VOBA was $7.0 million and $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense for the credit life and disability business decreased $2.3 million from 2006 primarily due to the attrition of business.
 
Earnings from operations were $5.9 million and $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We believe our current capital structure is one positive factor that will enable us to pursue our operational plans and goals, and provide us with sufficient liquidity for the next three to five years. The majority of the obligations currently in place mature at the end of fiscal years 2014 or 2018. As a result, we believe that our liquidity is sufficient for our current and foreseeable needs. However, there is no assurance that future cash flows will be sufficient to meet our outstanding obligations or our future capital needs.
 
At September 30, 2007, cash and cash equivalents totaled $203.3 million, compared with $75.3 million on March 31, 2007. The assets of our insurance subsidiaries are generally unavailable to fulfill the obligations of non-insurance operations (AMERCO, U-Haul and Real Estate). The assets of SAC Holding II are completely unavailable to satisfy any of the Company’s obligations. As of September 30, 2007 (or as otherwise indicated), cash and cash equivalents, other financial assets (receivables, short-term investments, other investments, fixed maturities, and related party assets) and obligations of each operating segment were:

Additionally, the Company had $94.1 million available in purchase accounts related to the fleet securitization transaction. These amounts are held by the trustee and are available to the Company to purchase new box trucks, cargo vans and pick-ups through March 2008.
 
Cash provided by operating activities improved $27.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with fiscal 2007, primarily due to the timing of federal income tax payments.
 
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $51.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with fiscal 2007. Capital expenditures for rental truck acquisitions have decreased compared with the first six months of fiscal 2007 while sales of retired trucks have increased. Fiscal 2008 real estate sales were greater than fiscal 2007.
 
Cash provided by financing activities decreased $121.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared with fiscal 2007. Cash used for the repurchase of common stock was $34.0 million which was partially offset from cash provided by the fleet securitization of $94.1 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Requirements of Our Operating Segments
 
Moving and Storage
 
To meet the needs of our customers, U-Haul maintains a large fleet of rental equipment. Capital expenditures have primarily reflected new rental equipment acquisitions and the buyouts of existing fleet from TRAC leases. The capital to fund these expenditures has historically been obtained internally from operations and the sale of used equipment, and externally from debt and lease financing. In the future we anticipate that our internally generated funds will be used to service the existing debt and support operations. U-Haul estimates that during each of the next three fiscal years the Company may reinvest in its truck and trailer rental fleet up to approximately $400.0 million, net of equipment sales, depending upon several factors including availability of capital and market conditions. This investment will be funded through external lease financing, debt financing and internally from operations. Management considers several factors including cost and tax consequences when selecting a method to fund capital expenditures. Because the Company has utilized all of its federal net operating loss carry forwards, there will be more of a focus on financing the fleet through asset-backed debt.
 
Real Estate has traditionally financed the acquisition of self-storage properties to support U-Haul's growth through debt financing and funds from operations and sales. The Company is developing several existing locations for use as storage centers. The Company is funding these development projects through construction loans and internally generated funds and expects to invest approximately $80.0 million in new storage development over the next twelve to eighteen months. U-Haul's growth plan in self-storage also includes eMove, which does not require significant capital.
 
Net capital expenditures (purchases of property, plant and equipment less proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment) were $258.9 million and $321.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the first six months of fiscal 2008, the Company entered into $129.1 million in new equipment operating leases.
 
Moving and Storage continues to hold significant cash and has access to additional liquidity. Management may invest these funds in our existing operations or pursue external opportunities in the self-moving and storage market place.
 
Property and Casualty Insurance
 
State insurance regulations restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid to stockholders of insurance companies. As a result, RepWest’s assets are generally not available to satisfy the claims of AMERCO or its legal subsidiaries.
 
Stockholder’s equity was $146.0 million and $142.4 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. RepWest does not use debt or equity issues to increase capital and therefore has no exposure to capital market conditions other than through its investment portfolio.
 
Life Insurance
 
Oxford manages its financial assets to meet policyholder and other obligations including investment contract withdrawals. Oxford’s net withdrawals for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $25.3 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 $138.3 million and $136.4 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Oxford does not use debt or equity issues to increase capital and therefore has no exposure to capital market conditions other than through its investment portfolio.
 
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 covenants and restrictions on incurring additional subsidiary indebtedness.

48


 
Cash Provided (Used) from Operating Activities by Operating Segments
 
Moving and Storage
 
Cash provided from operating activities were $279.0 million and $245.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the timing of federal income tax payments.
 
Property and Casualty Insurance
 
Cash flows used by operating activities were $6.8 million and $0.8 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The cash used by operating activities is the result of RepWest exiting its non U-Haul lines of business and the associated reduction of reserves in the lines exited.
 
RepWest’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment portfolio were $69.0 million and $71.9 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. This balance reflects funds in transition from maturity proceeds to long term investments. 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 by operating activities was $5.9 million for each of the first six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
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 June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments amounted to $35.3 million and $41.4 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 were $1.6 million and $0.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources-Summary
 
We believe we have the financial resources needed to execute our business plans and to meet our business requirements including capital expenditures for the investment in and expansion of our rental fleet, rental equipment and storage space, working capital requirements, stock repurchase plans and our preferred stock dividend program.
 
Our borrowing strategy is primarily focused on asset-backed financing. As part of this strategy, we seek to ladder maturities and hedge floating rate loans through the use of interest rate swaps. While each of these loans typically contains provisions governing the amount that can be borrowed in relation to specific assets, the overall structure is flexible with no limits on overall Company borrowings. Management feels it has adequate liquidity between cash and cash equivalents and unused borrowing capacity in existing facilities to meet the current and expected needs of the Company over the next several years. At September 30, 2007, we had cash availability under existing credit facilities of $353.3 million along with an additional $94.1 million in purchase accounts under the fleet securitization available for the purchase of new box trucks, cargo vans and pick-ups. We believe that there are additional opportunities for leverage in our existing capital structure. For a more detailed discussion of our long-term debt and borrowing capacity, please see Note 3 “Borrowings” to the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”
 
Disclosures about Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
 
Our estimates as to future contractual obligations have not materially changed as to the disclosure included under the subheading “Contractual Obligations” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 except for the addition of the Rental Fleet Securitizations and draws taken on the Construction loan (see Note 3 “Borrowings” to the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company uses off-balance sheet arrangements where the economics and sound business principles warrant their use.
 
AMERCO utilizes operating leases for certain rental equipment and facilities with terms expiring substantially through 2012, with the exception of one land lease expiring in 2034. In the event of a shortfall in proceeds from the sales of the underlying rental equipment assets, AMERCO has guaranteed approximately $170.1 million of residual values at September 30, 2007 for these assets at the end of their respective lease terms. AMERCO has been leasing rental equipment since 1987. To date, we have not experienced residual value shortfalls related to these leasing arrangements. Using the average cost of fleet related debt as the discount rate, the present value of AMERCO’s minimum lease payments and residual value guarantees is $546.2 million at September 30, 2007.
 
Historically, AMERCO used off-balance sheet arrangements in connection with the expansion of its self-storage business (see Note 8 “Related Party Transactions” of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”). These arrangements were primarily used when the Company’s overall borrowing structure was more limited. The Company does not face similar limitations currently and off-balance sheet arrangements have not been utilized in our self-storage expansion in recent years. In the future, the Company will continue to identify and consider off-balance sheet opportunities to the extent such arrangements would be economically advantageous to the Company and its stockholders.
 
The Company currently manages the self-storage properties owned or leased by SAC Holdings, Mercury, 4 SAC, 5 SAC, Galaxy, and 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 reimbursed expenses, of $15.0 million, and $9.2 million from the above mentioned entities during the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, 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.
 
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 $1.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007. 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 September 30, 2007, 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 whereby commissions are paid by the Company based on equipment rental revenues. During the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, the Company paid the above mentioned entities $20.8 million and $21.2 million, respectively in commissions pursuant to such dealership contracts.
 
During the first six months of fiscal 2008, subsidiaries of the Company held various junior unsecured notes of SAC Holdings. The Company does not have an equity ownership interest in SAC Holdings. The Company recorded interest income of $9.4 million and $9.8 million, and received cash interest payments of $10.2 million and $37.2 million, from SAC Holdings during the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. The cash interest payments for the first six months of fiscal 2007 included a payment to significantly reduce the outstanding interest receivable from SAC Holdings. The largest aggregate amount of notes receivable outstanding during the first six months of fiscal 2008 was $203.7 million and the aggregate notes receivable balance at September 30, 2007 was $198.4 million, of which $75.1 million is with SAC Holding II and has been eliminated in the consolidating financial statements. In accordance with the terms of these notes, SAC Holdings may repay the notes without penalty or premium.
 
These agreements and notes with subsidiaries of SAC Holdings, 4 SAC, 5 SAC, Galaxy and Private Mini, excluding Dealer Agreements, provided revenues of $20.4 million, expenses of $1.3 million and cash flows of $49.4 million during the first six months of fiscal 2008. Revenues and commission expenses related to the Dealer Agreements were $97.3 million and $20.8 million, respectively.

Fiscal 2008 Outlook
 
In fiscal 2008, we are working towards increasing transaction volume and improving pricing, product mix and utilization for self-moving equipment rentals. Investing in our truck fleet is a key initiative to reach this goal. During the first six months of fiscal 2008, we have added over 15,000 new trucks. Our plans include manufacturing additional boxed trucks and adding to our pickup and cargo van fleet. This investment is expected to increase the number of rentable equipment days available to meet our customer demands and to reduce future spending on repair costs and equipment downtime. Revenue growth in the U-Move program could continue to be adversely impacted should we fail to execute in any of these areas.
 
In fiscal 2008, we are also working towards increasing our storage occupancy at existing sites, adding new eMove Storage Affiliates and building new locations. We believe that additional occupancy gains in our current portfolio of locations can be realized in fiscal 2008. The Company continues to evaluate new moving and storage opportunities in the market place.
 
RepWest will continue to provide loss adjusting and claims handling for U-Haul and underwrite components of the Safemove, Safetow and Safestor protection packages to U-Haul customers.
 
Oxford is pursuing its goals of expanding its presence in the senior market through the sales of its Medicare supplement, life and annuity policies. As part of this strategy, Oxford is attempting to grow its agency force and develop new product offerings.
 
Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, contains “forward-looking statements” regarding future events and our future results. We may make additional written or oral forward-looking statements from time to time in filings with the SEC or otherwise. We believe such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of revenues, earnings or loss; estimates of capital expenditures, plans for future operations, products or services; financing needs and plans; our perceptions of our legal positions and anticipated outcomes of government investigations and pending litigation against us; liquidity; goals and strategies; plans for new business; growth rate assumptions, pricing, costs, and access to capital and leasing markets as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.
 
Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Factors that could significantly affect results include, without limitation, the risk factors set forth in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, as well as the following: the Company’s ability to operate pursuant to the terms of its credit facilities; the Company’s ability to maintain contracts that are critical to its operations; the costs and availability of financing; the Company’s ability to execute its business plan; the Company’s ability to attract, motivate and retain key employees; general economic conditions; fluctuations in our costs to maintain and update our fleet and facilities; our ability to refinance our debt; changes in government regulations, particularly environmental regulations; our credit ratings; the availability of credit; changes in demand for our products; changes in the general domestic economy; the degree and nature of our competition; the resolution of pending litigation against the Company; changes in accounting standards and other factors described in this report or the other documents we file with the SEC. The above factors, the following disclosures, as well as other statements in this report and in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, could contribute to or cause such risks or uncertainties, 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 assumes no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, unforeseen events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

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, interest rate cap agreements and forward swaps to reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $633.8 million of variable rate debt obligations.  If LIBOR were to increase 100 basis points, the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.2 million annually (after consideration of the effect of the above derivative contracts).
 
Additionally, our insurance subsidiaries’ fixed income investment portfolio’s expose the Company to interest rate risk. This interest rate risk is the price sensitivity of a fixed income security to change in interest rates. As part of our insurance companies’ asset and liability management, actuaries estimate the cash flow patterns of our existing liabilities to determine their duration. These outcomes are compared to the characteristics of the assets that are currently supporting these liabilities assisting management in determining an asset allocation strategy for future investments that management believes will mitigate the overall effect of interest rates.
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
 
The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to our Canadian business. Approximately 5.5% and 4.8% of our revenue in the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively, were 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 the registrants’ 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 in Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

52


 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s management, with the participation of the CEO and CAO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s "disclosure controls and procedures" (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our Disclosure Controls are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Our 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. Based upon the controls evaluation, our CEO and CAO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our Disclosure Controls were effective.
 
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.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
Information regarding our legal proceedings can be found under Note 7 “Contingencies” to the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”.
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
We are not aware of any material updates to the risk factors described in the Company’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
 
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
On September 13, 2006, we announced that our Board had authorized us to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our common stock. The stock may be repurchased by the Company from time to time on the open market between September 13, 2006 and October 31, 2007. On March 9, 2007, the Board authorized an increase in the Company’s common stock repurchase program to a total aggregate amount, net of brokerage commissions, of $115.0 million (which amount is inclusive of the $50.0 million common stock repurchase program approved by the Board in 2006). The Company repurchased stock from time to time on the open market pursuant to this program. These purchases were funded from available working capital. During the course of the program the Company repurchased 1,225,290 shares at a cost of $83.1 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we purchased no additional shares. As of November 1, 2007 the Board has not renewed the repurchase program or established a new program.
