AMERCO
AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
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 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 2008 and 2007
correspond to fiscal 2009 and 2008 for AMERCO.
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
condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2008 and March 31,
2008 include the accounts of AMERCO and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The
September 30, 2008 condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash
flows include the accounts of AMERCO and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The
September 30, 2007 condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash
flows include the accounts of AMERCO and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and SAC
Holding II and its subsidiaries (“SAC Holding II”).
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008 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 2009 and 2008 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 2008 Form 10-K.
Intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

has (or had) four reportable segments. They are (or were) Moving and Storage,
Property and Casualty Insurance, Life Insurance and SAC Holding II (through
October 2007).
Moving
and Storage operations include AMERCO, U-Haul and Real Estate and the
wholly-owned subsidiaries of U-Haul and Real Estate and consist of the rental of
trucks and trailers, sales of moving supplies, sales of towing accessories,
sales of propane, the rental of self-storage spaces to the “do-it-yourself”
mover and management of self-storage properties owned by others. Operations are
conducted under the registered trade name U-Haul®
throughout the United States and Canada.
Property
and Casualty Insurance includes RepWest and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
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 provides
life and health insurance products primarily to the senior market through the
direct writing or reinsuring of life insurance, 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 Corporation and its subsidiaries 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 Holding II properties entitling AMERCO to
potential future income based on the financial performance of these properties.
Prior to November 2007, AMERCO was considered the primary beneficiary of these
contractual interests. Consequently, for those reporting periods prior to
November 2007, we included the results of SAC Holding II in the consolidated
financial statements of AMERCO, as required by Financial Accounting Standards
Board Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities (“FIN 46(R)”).
2.
Earnings per Share
Net
earnings for purposes of computing earnings per common share are net earnings
less preferred stock dividends. Preferred stock dividends include accrued
dividends of AMERCO.
The
weighted average common shares outstanding exclude post-1992 shares of the
employee stock ownership plan that have not been committed to be released. The
unreleased shares net of shares committed to be released were 269,415 and
319,316 as of September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007,
respectively.
6,100,000
shares of preferred stock have been excluded from the weighted average shares
outstanding calculation because they are not common stock and they are not
convertible into common stock.

Interest
paid in cash by AMERCO amounted to $18.5 million and $25.9 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Interest
paid in cash by AMERCO amounted to $37.7 million and $46.0 million for the first
six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The
Company manages exposure to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s use
of derivative instruments is limited to highly effective interest rate swaps to
hedge the risk of changes in cash flows (future interest payments) attributable
to changes in LIBOR swap rates, the designated benchmark interest rate being
hedged on certain of our LIBOR-indexed variable-rate debt. The interest rate
swaps effectively fix the Company’s interest payments on certain LIBOR-indexed
variable-rate debt. The Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of
its counterparties and does not anticipate non-performance by the
counterparties. Interest rate swap agreements are not entered into for trading
purposes.

AMERCO

TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
On
May 13, 2004, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement for
$50.0 million of our variable rate debt over a three year term; however,
this agreement was dedesignated as a cash flow hedge effective July 11, 2005
when the Real Estate Loan was paid down by $222.4 million. The $50.0 million
interest rate cap agreement expired on May 17, 2007. Subsequent to July 11,
2005, all changes in the interest rate caps fair value (including changes in the
option’s time value), were charged to earnings as the original forecasted
transaction was cancelled. Prior to July 11, 2005, the change in each caplets’
respective allocated fair value amount was reclassified out of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) into earnings when each of the hedged forecasted
transactions (the quarterly interest payments) impacted earnings and when
interest payments were either made or received.
On June
8, 2005, the Company entered into separate interest rate swap agreements 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, that were designated as
cash flow hedges effective July 1, 2005. These swap agreements were cancelled on
August 18, 2006 in conjunction with our amendment of the Real Estate Loan, and
we entered into a new interest rate swap agreement for $300.0 million of our
variable-rate debt over a twelve-year term effective on August 18, 2006. As of
August 18, 2006, a net gain of approximately $6.0 million related to the two
cancelled swaps was included in other comprehensive income (loss). As the
variable-rate debt is replaced, it is probable that the original forecasted
transaction (future interest payments) will continue to occur. Therefore, the
net derivative gain related to the two cancelled swaps shall continue to be
reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and be reclassified into earnings
when the original forecasted transaction affects earnings consistent with the
term of the original designated hedging relationship. For the first six months
ended September 30, 2008, the Company reclassified $0.8 million of the net
derivative gain to interest income. The Company estimates that $1.0 million of
the existing net gains will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12
months.
On
November 15, 2005, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate
swap agreement for $142.3 million of our variable-rate debt over a six-year term
that became effective on May 10, 2006. This swap was designated as a cash flow
hedge effective May 31, 2006.
On June
21, 2006, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for $50.0
million of our variable-rate debt over a seven-year term that became effective
on July 10, 2006. On June 9, 2006, the Company entered into a forward starting
interest rate swap agreement for $144.9 million of our variable-rate debt over a
six-year term that became effective on October 10, 2006. On February 9, 2007,
the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for $30.0 million of
our variable-rate debt over a seven-year term that became effective on February
12, 2007. On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into two separate interest rate
swap agreements each for $20.0 million of our variable-rate debt over seven-year
terms that became effective on March 10, 2007. On April 8, 2008, the Company
entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement for $19.3 million
of our variable-rate debt over a seven year term that became effective on August
15, 2008. On August 27, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap
agreement for $19.0 million of our variable-rate debt over a seven year term
that became effective on August 29, 2008. On September 24, 2008, the Company
entered into an interest rate swap agreement for $30.0 million of our
variable-rate debt over a seven year term that became effective on September 30,
2008. These interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges on
their inception (trade dates).
For the
first six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized net losses of
$7.9 million from highly effective cash flow hedges, which are attributable to
the portion of the change in the fair value of the hedges. The hedging
relationship of certain interest rate swap agreements is not considered to be
perfectly effective in which an effectiveness test is performed for each
reporting period. The net gains attributable to the portion of the change in the
fair value representing the amount of the hedges’ ineffectiveness recognized in
earnings during the first six months was $0.2 million included in interest
income. All forecasted transactions currently being hedged are expected to occur
by 2018.

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 each 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

Contingencies
Shoen
In
September 2002, Paul F. Shoen filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit in the
Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, Washoe County, captioned
Paul F. Shoen vs. SAC
Holding Corporation et al., CV 02-05602, 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 as a nominal Defendant
in the case. 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 prior to the filing of
the complaint. The complaint seeks a declaration that such transfers are void as
well as unspecified damages. In October 2002, the Defendants filed motions to
dismiss the complaint. Also in October 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 in January 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. Each of these suits is
substantially similar to the Paul F. Shoen case. The Court consolidated the five
cases and thereafter dismissed these actions in May 2003, concluding that the
AMERCO Board of Directors had the requisite level of independence required in
order to have these claims resolved by the Board. Plaintiffs appealed this
decision and, in July 2006, the Nevada Supreme Court reversed the ruling of the
trial court and remanded the case 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.

AMERCO
AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
In
November 2006, the Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. In December 2006, the
Defendants filed motions to dismiss, based on various legal theories. In March
2007, the Court denied AMERCO’s motion to dismiss regarding the issue of demand
futility, stating that “Plaintiffs have satisfied the heightened pleading
requirements of demand futility by showing a majority of the members of the
AMERCO Board of Directors were interested parties in the SAC transactions.” The
Court heard oral argument on the remainder of the Defendants’ motions to
dismiss, including the motion (“Goldwasser Motion”) based on the fact that the
subject matter of the lawsuit had been settled and dismissed in earlier
litigation known as Goldwasser v. Shoen,
C.V.N.-94-00810-ECR (D.Nev), Washoe County, Nevada. In addition, in September
and October 2007, the Defendants filed Motions for Judgment on the Pleadings or
in the Alternative Summary Judgment, based on the fact that the stockholders of
the Company had ratified the underlying transactions at the 2007 annual meeting
of stockholders of AMERCO. In December 2007, the Court denied this motion. This
ruling does not preclude a renewed motion for summary judgment after discovery
and further proceedings on these issues. On April 7, 2008, the litigation was
dismissed, on the basis of the Goldwasser Motion. On May 8, 2008, the Plaintiffs
filed a notice of appeal of such dismissal to the Nevada Supreme Court. On May
20, 2008, AMERCO filed a cross appeal relating to the denial of its Motion to
Dismiss in regard to demand futility. The appeals are currently
pending.
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 adverse effect on AMERCO’s
financial position or results of operations.
Compliance
with environmental requirements of federal, state and local governments may
significantly affect 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 result in a material adverse
effect on AMERCO’s financial position or results of operations. Real Estate
expects to spend approximately $2.8 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 position
and results of operations.

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
Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries and SAC Holding II Corporation and its
subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “SAC Holdings” were 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 have 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.

AMERCO
AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
During
the first six months of fiscal 2009, 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”).
Blackwater is 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 $9.2 million
and $9.4 million, and received cash interest payments of $8.4 million and $10.2
million, from SAC Holdings during the first six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The largest aggregate amount of notes receivable outstanding
during the first six months of fiscal 2009 was $198.1 million and the aggregate
notes receivable balance at September 30, 2008 was $197.9 million. In accordance
with the terms of these notes, SAC Holdings may repay the notes without penalty
or premium at any time.
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 would be 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 2009, AMERCO and U-Haul held various junior notes
with Private Mini Realty, L.P. (“Private Mini”). The equity interests of Private
Mini are ultimately controlled by Blackwater. The Company recorded interest
income of $2.7 million and $2.5 million and received cash interest payments of
$2.7 million and $2.5 million from Private Mini during the first six months of
fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. The balance of notes receivable from Private
Mini at September 30, 2008 was $68.7 million. The largest aggregate amount
outstanding during the first six months of fiscal 2009 was $69.1
million.
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 $15.8 million and $15.0
million from the above mentioned entities during the first six months of fiscal
2009 and 2008, 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 $1.2 million and $1.3 million
for each of the first six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008, 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
September 30, 2008, 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. During the first six months of fiscal 2009
and 2008, the Company paid the above mentioned entities $20.0 million and $20.8
million, respectively in commissions pursuant to such dealership
contracts.
17
AMERCO
AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
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 $1.2 million and cash flows of $22.7 million during the first six
months of fiscal 2009. Revenues and commission expenses related to the Dealer
Agreements were $93.8 million and $20.0 million, respectively.
In prior
years, U-Haul sold various properties to SAC Holdings 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, a portion of these deferred gains were recognized and treated as
contributions from a related party in the amount of $111.0 million as a result
of the deconsolidation of SAC Holding Corporation. In November 2007, the
remaining portion of these deferred gains were recognized and treated as
contributions from a related party in the amount of $46.1 million as a result of
the deconsolidation of SAC Holding II Corporation.

subsidiary of $3.5 million. These timing differences will reverse in the
Company’s December 31, 2008 financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements
Effective
April 1, 2008, assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the condensed
consolidated balance sheets were measured and classified based upon a three
tiered approach to valuation. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(“SFAS”) 157, Fair Value
Measurements (“SFAS 157”) requires that financial assets and liabilities
recorded at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three
categories:
Level 1 -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the
measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 –
Quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in markets that are
not considered to be active, or similar financial instruments for which all
significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, or inputs
other than quoted prices that are observable, or inputs that are derived
principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation
or other means;
Level 3 –
Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair
value measurement and are unobservable. These reflect management’s assumptions
about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or
liability.

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, and strategy related to, our operating segments to give the
reader an overview of the goals of our businesses and the direction in which our
businesses and products are moving. We then discuss our “Critical Accounting
Policies and Estimates” that we believe are important to understanding the
assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. We
then discuss our results of operations for the second quarter and first six
months of fiscal 2009, compared with the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal 2008, which is followed by an analysis of changes in our balance sheets
and cash flows, and a discussion of 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 2009.
This
MD&A should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, including the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements. 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 or in our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K. 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 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 2008 and 2007
correspond to fiscal 2009 and 2008 for AMERCO.
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 and 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.

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.
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.
For more
than sixty years, U-Haul has incorporated sustainable practices into its
everyday operations. Our basic business premise of truck-sharing helps reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and reduces the need for total large-capacity vehicles.
Today, we remain focused on reducing waste and are dedicated to manufacturing
reusable components and recyclable products. This commitment to sustainability,
through our products and services, has helped us to reduce our impact on the
environment.
eMove is
an online marketplace that connects consumers to over 3,300 independent Moving
Help™ service providers and over 3,700 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. 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, 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 II Corporation and its subsidiaries 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 Holding II properties entitling AMERCO to
potential future income based on the financial performance of these properties.
AMERCO was considered the primary beneficiary of these contractual interests
prior to November 2007. Consequently, for those reporting periods prior to
November 2007, we included the results of SAC Holding II in the consolidated
financial statements of AMERCO, as required by FIN 46(R). While the
deconsolidation affects AMERCO’s financial reporting, it has no operational or
financial impact on the Company’s relationship with SAC Holding II.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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 the need to estimate matters
that are inherently uncertain.
36
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, Consolidated Financial
Statements 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 has 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 VIE,
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.
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 evaluated its interests in SAC
Holdings utilizing the guidance promulgated in FIN 46(R). 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 and March 2004, SAC Holding Corporation triggered a requirement to
reassess AMERCO’s involvement in it, which led to the conclusion SAC Holding
Corporation was not a VIE and AMERCO ceased to be the primary beneficiary and
the Company no longer includes SAC Holding Corporation in its consolidated
financial statements.
In
November 2007, Blackwater contributed additional capital to its wholly-owned
subsidiary, SAC Holding II. This contribution was determined by us to be
material with respect to the capitalization of SAC Holding II; therefore,
triggering a requirement under FIN 46(R) for us to reassess the Company’s
involvement with those subsidiaries. This required reassessment led to the
conclusion that SAC Holding II had the ability to fund its own operations and
execute its business plan without any future subordinated financial support;
therefore, the Company was no longer the primary beneficiary of SAC Holding II
as of the date of Blackwater’s contribution.
Accordingly,
at the date AMERCO ceased to have a variable interest and ceased to be the
primary beneficiary of SAC Holding II and its current subsidiaries, it
deconsolidated those entities. The deconsolidation was accounted for as a
distribution of SAC Holding II’s interests to the sole shareholder of the SAC
entities. Because of AMERCO’s continuing involvement with SAC Holding II and its
subsidiaries, the distribution does not qualify as discontinued operations as
defined by SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
It is
possible that SAC Holdings could take actions that would require us to
re-determine whether SAC Holdings has become a VIE or whether we have become the
primary beneficiary of SAC Holdings. Should this occur, we could be required to
consolidate some or all of SAC Holdings with our financial
statements.
37
The
condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2008 and March 31,
2008 include the accounts of AMERCO and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The
September 30, 2008 condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash
flows include the accounts of AMERCO and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The
September 30, 2007 condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash
flows include the accounts of AMERCO and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and SAC
Holding II and its subsidiaries.
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.,
minimize 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 are
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. Whereas, 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 greater than what it
would have been if calculated under a straight line approach for the second
quarter of both fiscal 2009 and 2008, and $28.0 million and $26.7 million
for the first six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008, 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 margins 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.
38
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.
Due to
the long tailed nature of the assumed reinsurance and the excess workers
compensation lines of insurance that were written by RepWest it may take a
number of years for claims to be fully reported and finally
settled.
Impairment
of Investments
For
investments accounted for under SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities 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 $0.1 million and $0.2 million in other-than-temporary
impairments for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively and
$0.2 million and $0.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Income
Taxes
The
Company’s tax returns are periodically reviewed by various taxing authorities.
The final outcome of these audits may cause changes that could materially impact
our financial results.
AMERCO
files a consolidated tax return with all of its legal subsidiaries, except for
Dallas General Life Insurance Company (“DGLIC”), a subsidiary of Oxford, which
will file on a stand alone basis until 2012. 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
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company adopted SFAS 157, Fair
Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) effective April 1, 2008, its required
effective date for AMERCO. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements;
it does not change existing guidance about whether an asset or liability is
carried at fair value. The definition of fair value according to SFAS 157 is the
price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the
measurement date. The assets primarily affected by the adoption of SFAS 157 at
the Company include the interest rate swaps held by U-Haul to fix interest rates
on its variable rate debt and the available for sale investment portfolios at
Oxford and RepWest. For more information please see Note 12 Fair Value
Measurements of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The
adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
The
Company adopted SFAS 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS
159”) effective April 1, 2008, its required effective date for AMERCO. SFAS 159
provides the option to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair
value with any changes in fair value recognized in earnings. SFAS 159
allows for the application of these rules on an instrument-by-instrument basis
upon the initial recognition of the asset or liability, or upon an event that
gives rise to a new basis of accounting for that instrument. The Company did not
elect to measure any additional financial assets or liabilities at fair value;
therefore, the adoption of SFAS 159 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS
141(R), Business
Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) provides companies with
principles and requirements on how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and
any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree as well as the recognition and
measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141(R) also
requires certain disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.
Acquisition costs associated with the business combination will generally be
expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations
occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will
require us to adopt these provisions for business combinations occurring in
fiscal 2010 and thereafter. Early adoption of SFAS 141(R) is not
permitted.
39
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51
(“SFAS 160”). This Statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement
changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented by requiring net
income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both
the parent and the noncontrolling interest and to disclose those amounts on the
face of the income statement. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. Early adoption of SFAS 160 is not permitted. The
Company does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a
material impact on our financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”), which amends SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities to require expanded disclosures
about derivative instruments and hedging activities regarding (1) the ways in
which an entity uses derivatives, (2) the accounting for derivatives and hedging
activities, and (3) the impact that derivatives have (or could have) on an
entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is
effective for financial statements of fiscal years and interim periods beginning
after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. While disclosures
for earlier comparative periods presented at initial adoption are not required,
they are encouraged; following initial adoption, comparative disclosures are
required only for
periods after such adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that
SFAS 161 will have on our financial statements and disclosures.

During
the second quarter of fiscal 2009, self-moving equipment rentals increased $3.5
million, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company’s fleet
rotation has resulted in a significant number of older box trucks being removed
from the fleet, replaced in part by new trucks. In the second quarter of fiscal
2009 this resulted in a smaller average fleet in comparison to the same quarter
last year. During the second quarter of fiscal 2009 the effects of the inventory
decline have been offset by improved workload of the remaining fleet and lower
maintenance and repair costs. Rental truck transactions improved nominally for
the quarter.

revenues decreased $5.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared
with the second quarter of fiscal 2008 due to the deconsolidation of SAC Holding
II which was effective as of October 31, 2007. The deconsolidation of SAC
Holding II accounted for $4.8 million of the decrease in self-storage revenues.
Self-storage revenues for Company owned locations decreased $0.4 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2008
due to a decrease in average occupancy for the quarter of 4.7%.
Sales of
self-moving and self-storage products and services decreased $4.3 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared with the second quarter of fiscal
2008. The decrease was related to the deconsolidation of SAC Holding II. At
Company owned locations decreased sales of hitch and towing accessories were
offset by increased revenue from propane sales.
40
Premiums
at RepWest were flat.
Oxford’s
premium revenues decreased approximately $0.8 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 $591.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared with
$596.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

below are revenues and earnings from operations at each of our four operating
segments for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and the second quarter of fiscal

Total
costs and expenses increased $8.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009,
compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The primary reason for the
increase is due to additional depreciation and lease expenses associated with
new truck additions to the fleet over the last twelve months. These increases
were partially offset by the deconsolidation of SAC Holding II.
As a
result of the aforementioned changes in revenues and expenses, earnings from
operations decreased to $95.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009,
compared with $109.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
Interest
expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $24.9 million, compared with
$27.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The decrease was due to the
reduction in the LIBOR rate as well as the deconsolidation of SAC Holding
II.
Income
tax expense was $26.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared
with $31.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 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 2009, unchanged from the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
As a
result of the above mentioned items, earnings available to common shareholders
were $40.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared with $47.2
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
The
weighted average common shares outstanding basic and diluted were 19,351,322 in
second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared with 19,733,755 in the second quarter of
fiscal 2008.

During
the second quarter of fiscal 2009, self-moving equipment rentals increased $3.5
million, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company’s fleet
rotation has resulted in a significant number of older box trucks being removed
from the fleet, replaced in part by new trucks. In the second quarter of fiscal
2009 this resulted in a smaller average fleet in comparison to the same quarter
last year. During the second quarter of fiscal 2009 the effects of the inventory
decline have been offset by improved workload of the remaining fleet and lower
maintenance and repair costs. Rental truck transactions improved nominally for
the quarter.
Self-storage
revenues for Company owned locations decreased $0.4 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2008 due to
a decrease in average occupancy for the quarter of 4.7%.
Sales of
self-moving and self-storage products and services increased $0.1 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared with the second quarter of fiscal
2008. Decreased sales of hitch and towing accessories were offset by increased
revenue from propane sales.
The
Company owns and manages self-storage facilities. Self-storage revenues reported

Net
investment income was $2.3 million and $3.1 million for the second quarters
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The reduction was due to a decrease
in the overall size of the investment portfolio and lower rates on short-term
investments.
Net
operating expenses, which are offset by claims handling fees, were $2.9 million
and $3.7 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The decrease was a result of lower professional fees and a
reduction in net expenses associated with providing claims handling services to
U-Haul.
Benefits
and losses incurred were $4.6 million and $2.9 million for the second quarters
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase was a result of

decreased by $0.5 million as a result of no new sales.
Net
investment income was $5.0 million and $5.3 million for the second quarters

smaller invested asset base for the current period.
Other
income was $2.4 million and $1.2 million for the second quarters ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase was due to the settlement of an
arbitration related to the acquisition of DGLIC.
Net
operating expenses were $5.4 million and $6.5 million for the second quarters
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease was primarily
attributable to a reduction of expenses for the credit segment.
Benefits
incurred were $21.4 million and $21.2 million for the second quarters ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease was primarily the result of a $0.9
million decrease in disability claims and a $0.7 million decrease in Medicare
supplement benefits offset by a benefit increase for the life business of $1.7
million due to increased sales volume.
Amortization
of deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) and the value of business acquired
(“VOBA”) was $2.3 million and $3.2 million for the second quarters ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease was the result of runoff of the
credit business, full amortization of the Christian Fidelity Life Insurance
Company (“CFLIC”) VOBA in 2007 and a smaller base of annuity
values.
As a
result of the above mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, pretax earnings

During
the first six months of fiscal 2009, self-moving equipment rentals increased
$1.0 million, compared with the first six months of fiscal 2008. The Company’s
fleet rotation has resulted in a significant number of older box trucks being
removed from the fleet, replaced in part by new trucks. In fiscal 2009, this
resulted in a smaller average fleet in comparison to the same period last year.
The effects of the inventory decline have been largely offset by improved
workload of the remaining fleet and lower maintenance and repair costs and
improvements in trailer revenue. Truck rental transactions for the first six
months of fiscal 2009 were flat as compared with the first six months of fiscal
2008.
Self-storage
revenues decreased $9.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2009,
compared with the first six months of fiscal 2008. The deconsolidation of SAC
Holding II, which was effective as of October 31, 2007, accounted for a $9.8
million decrease in reported self-storage revenues in the first six months of
fiscal 2009 as compared with the first six months of fiscal 2008. Self-storage
revenues for Company owned locations increased $0.1 million for the first six
months of fiscal 2009 as compared with the first six months of fiscal
2008.
Sales of
self-moving and self-storage products and services decreased $10.4 million for
the first six months of fiscal 2009, compared with the first six months of
fiscal 2008, with $9.0 million of the decrease related to the deconsolidation of
SAC Holding II. The remainder of the decline is related primarily to lower sales
of hitch and towing accessories at Company owned locations.
Premiums
at RepWest increased $0.2 million.
Oxford’s
premium revenues decreased approximately $3.1 million primarily as a result of
decreases in credit and Medicare supplement premiums.
As a

2009, as compared with the first six months of fiscal 2008. The primary reason
for the increase is due to the additional depreciation and lease expense

Net
operating expenses, which are offset by claims handling fees, were $4.8 million
and $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The decrease was due to the recovery of previous litigation expenses and the
reduction of net expenses associated with providing claims handling services to
U-Haul.
Benefits
and losses incurred were $9.4 million and $6.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase was a result of

Six
Months Ended June 30, 2008 compared with the Six Months Ended June 30,

Net
premiums were $54.0 million and $57.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively. Medicare supplement premiums decreased by $3.2
million due to lapses in excess of new sales. Life insurance premiums increased
by $3.0 million due to increased sales. Credit life and disability premiums
decreased by $1.3 million as a result of no new sales. Annuity premiums
decreased by $0.8 million as a result of fewer contract holders electing payouts
during the period.
Net
investment income was $10.2 million and $11.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a
smaller invested asset base for the current period.
Other
income was $3.4 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively. The increase was due to the settlement of an arbitration
related to the acquisition of DGLIC.
Net
operating expenses were $11.2 million and $12.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to
a reduction of expenses for the credit segment.
Benefits
incurred were $42.4 million and $44.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease was primarily the result of a $2.1
million decrease in disability claims and a $2.8 million decrease in Medicare
supplement benefits offset by a benefit increase for the life business of $2.8
million due to the increased sales volume.
Amortization
of DAC and VOBA was $4.4 million and $7.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease was the result of runoff of the
credit business, full amortization of CFLIC’s VOBA in 2007 and a smaller base of
annuity values and fewer contract surrenders.
As a
result of the above mentioned changes in revenues and expenses, pretax earnings
from operations were $9.5 million and $5.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
believe our current capital structure is a 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, 2015 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 debt obligations and our future capital
needs.

Cash
provided by operating activities decreased by $34.3 million in the first six
months of fiscal 2009, compared with fiscal 2008. Fiscal 2008 included a $20.0
million payment from SAC Holdings reducing their outstanding note payable with
AMERCO.
Net cash
used in investing activities decreased $101.5 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2009, compared with fiscal 2008, largely due to a shift in using
operating leases for the majority of new truck acquisitions instead of debt
financing.
Cash
provided by financing activities decreased $39.0 million in the first six months
of fiscal 2009, compared with fiscal 2008. As the allocation of new truck
financing has shifted from primarily debt to largely operating leases, cash
provided by debt financing has declined compared with the same period last
year.
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
fiscal 2009, the Company will reinvest in its truck and trailer rental fleet up
to approximately $350.0 million, net of equipment sales. Fleet investments
beyond fiscal 2009 will be dependent upon several factors including availability
of capital, the truck rental environment and the used-truck sales market. We
anticipate that the fiscal 2009 investment will be funded largely through
external lease financing, and supplemented with debt financing and cash from
operations. Management considers several factors including cost and tax
consequences when selecting a method to fund capital expenditures. Our
allocation between debt and lease financing can change from year to year based
upon financial market conditions which may alter the cost or availability of
financing options.
48
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’s plan for the physical expansion of owned storage properties
includes the acquisition of existing self-storage locations from third parties,
the acquisition and development of bare land, and the acquisition and
redevelopment of existing buildings not currently used for self-storage. The
Company is funding these development projects through construction loans and
internally generated funds. For fiscal 2009, the Company has committed
to nearly $80.0 million in new construction of which
approximately $60.0 million is not yet spent and has allocated $70.0
million to new acquisitions of which approximately $17.0 million has been spent
and nearly $12.0 million is in escrow. The timing of these projects is dependent
upon several factors including the entitlement process, availability of capital,
weather, and the identification and/or successful acquisition of target
properties. 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 $144.2 million and $258.9
million in the first six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. During
the first six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008, the Company entered into $232.5
million and $129.1 million, respectively of 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, expand
our product lines 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 $149.5 million and $148.6 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31,
2007, respectively. The increase resulted from earnings of $2.9 million and a
decrease in other comprehensive income of $2.0 million. RepWest does not use
debt or equity issues to increase capital and therefore has no direct 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, 2008 was $17.4 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 $155.3 million and $150.7 million at June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, respectively. The increase resulted from earnings of $6.4
million and a decrease in other comprehensive income of $1.8 million. Oxford
does not use debt or equity issues to increase capital and therefore has no
direct exposure to capital market conditions other than through its investment
portfolio.
Cash
Provided (Used) from Operating Activities by Operating Segments
Moving
and Storage
Cash
provided from operating activities were $242.2 million and $279.0 million in the
first six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Fiscal 2008 included a
$20.0 million payment from SAC Holdings reducing their outstanding note payable
with AMERCO.
Property
and Casualty Insurance
Cash
flows used by operating activities were $0.6 million and $6.8 million for the
first six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in
cash flow used by operating results was a result of the reduction of related
party assets and less of a reduction on reserves of terminated lines in 2008 in
comparison with 2007.
RepWest’s
cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment portfolio were $122.2
million and $79.3 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
This balance reflects funds in transition from maturity proceeds to long term
investments. Management believes 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 were $3.8 million and $5.9 million for
the first six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease
was the result of an additional $3.7 million of income taxes paid in 2007,
compared with 2008 and receiving from SAC Holdings the payoff of a note in the
amount of $5.1 million in 2007.
49
In
addition to cash flows from operating activities and financing activities, a
substantial amount of liquid funds are available through Oxford’s short-term
portfolio. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments amounted to $30.9 million and $37.7 million,
respectively. Management believes that the overall sources of liquidity will
continue to meet foreseeable cash needs.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources - Summary
We
believe we have the financial resources needed to meet 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 and rental
equipment operating leases. 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, 2008, we had cash
availability under existing credit facilities of $67.7 million. It is possible
that circumstances beyond our control could alter the ability of the financial
institutions to lend us the unused lines of credit. Despite the current
financial market conditions 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.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
On April
1, 2008 we adopted SFAS 157. Effective on this date, assets and
liabilities recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets
were measured and classified based upon a three tiered approach to
valuation. SFAS 157 requires that financial assets and liabilities
recorded at fair value be classified and disclosed in a Level 1, Level 2 or
Level 3 category. For more information, see Note 12, Fair Value
Measurements of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The
available-for-sale securities held by the Company are recorded at fair
value. These values are determined primarily from actively traded
markets where prices are based either on direct market quotes or observed
transactions. Liquidity is a factor considered during the
determination of the fair value of these securities. Market price
quotes may not be readily available for certain securities or the market for
them has slowed or ceased. In situations where the market is
determined to be illiquid, fair value is determined based upon limited available
information and other factors including expected cash flows. At
September 30, 2008 we had less than $0.1 million of available-for-sale assets
classified in Level 3.
The
interest rate swaps held by the Company as hedges against interest rate risk for
our variable rate debt are recorded at fair value. These values are
determined using pricing valuation models which include broker quotes for which
significant inputs are observable. They include adjustments for
counterparty credit quality and other deal-specific factors, where
appropriate.
Disclosures
about Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Our
estimates as to future contractual obligations have not materially changed from
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 the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2008.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
The
Company uses off-balance sheet arrangements in situations where management
believes that the economics and sound business principles warrant their
use.
AMERCO
utilizes operating leases for certain rental equipment and facilities with terms
expiring substantially through 2015, 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 $185.2
million of residual values at September 30, 2008 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 was $625.3 million at September 30, 2008.
50
Historically,
AMERCO used off-balance sheet arrangements in connection with the expansion of
our self-storage business. Refer to 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 $15.8 million, and $15.0 million from the above mentioned entities
during the first six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008, 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 $1.2 million and $1.3 million
in the first six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008, 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
September 30, 2008, 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 2009
and 2008, the Company paid the above mentioned entities $20.0 million and $20.8
million, respectively in commissions pursuant to such dealership
contracts.
These
agreements along with 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 $1.2 million and cash flows of $22.7 million during the
first six months of fiscal 2009. Revenues and commission expenses related to the
Dealer Agreements were $93.8 million and $20.0 million,
respectively.
During
the first six months of fiscal 2009, 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 $9.2
million and $9.4 million, and received cash interest payments of $8.4 million
and $10.2 million, from SAC Holdings during the first six months of fiscal 2009
and 2008, respectively. The largest aggregate amount of notes receivable
outstanding during the first six months of fiscal 2009 was $198.1 million and
the aggregate notes receivable balance at September 30, 2008 was $197.9 million.
In accordance with the terms of these notes, SAC Holdings may repay the notes
without penalty or premium at any time.
Fiscal
2009 Outlook
In fiscal
2009, we are focused on increasing transaction volume and improving our pricing,
product mix and utilization for self-moving equipment rentals. Investing in our
truck fleet is a key initiative to reach these goals. During the first six
months of fiscal 2009, we added nearly 15,000 new trucks. Our plans include
manufacturing additional box trucks and maintaining our pickup and cargo van
fleet. This investment is expected to increase the availability of our equipment
to meet our customer demands and to reduce future spending on repair costs and
equipment downtime. Revenue in the U-Move program could continue to be adversely
impacted should we fail to execute in any of these areas. Even if we execute our
plans we could see declines in revenues primarily due to the adverse economic
conditions that are beyond our control.
We are
also working towards increasing our storage occupancy at existing sites, adding
new eMove Storage Affiliates and building new locations. We believe that
occupancy gains in our current portfolio of locations can be realized in fiscal
2009. While the Company saw increased storage revenue in fiscal 2008 due to
pricing, this trend may not continue. The Company continues to evaluate new
moving and storage opportunities in the market place including the introduction
of portable storage in selected markets.
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 focused on growing its agency force and developing 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; storage occupancy; 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, 2008 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
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.
52
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. The Company enters into these arrangements with
counterparties that are significant financial institutions with whom we
generally have other financial arrangements. We are exposed to credit risk
should these counterparties not be able to perform on their
obligations.

As of
September 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $788.5 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 $1.8 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 a 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 6.3% and 5.5% of our revenue
in the first six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008, 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.
53
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.
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 related to the above stated design purposes.
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.
54
PART
II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Other
than as set forth below, 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, 2008.
Current
economic conditions, including those related to the credit markets, may
adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.
The
United States economy is currently undergoing a period of slowdown and
unprecedented volatility, which some observers view as a possible recession, and
the future economic environment may continue to be less favorable than that of
recent years. This slowdown has and could further lead to reduced consumer
and commercial spending in the foreseeable future. Our
industries although not as traditionally cyclical as some,
could experience significant downturns in connection with, or in
anticipation of, declines in general economic conditions. Declines in
consumer spending may drive us and our competitors to reduce pricing
further, which would have a negative impact on gross profit. A continued
softening in the economy may adversely and materially affect our
industry, business and results of operations and we can not accurately
predict how severe and prolonged any downturn might be.
Moreover, reduced revenues as a result of a softening of the
economy may also reduce our working capital and interfere with our
long term business strategy.
The
United States credit markets are currently experiencing an unprecedented
contraction. As a result of the tightening credit markets, we may not be able to
obtain additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. If one or more of the
financial institutions that support our existing credit facilities fails, we may
not be able to find a replacement, which would negatively impact our ability to
borrow under credit facilities. In addition, if the current pressures on
credit continue or worsen, we may not be able to refinance, if
necessary, our outstanding debt when due, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business. While we believe we have adequate sources of
liquidity to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, debt
servicing and capital expenditures through fiscal year 2009, if our operating
results worsen significantly and our cash flow or capital resources prove
inadequate, or if interest rates increase significantly, we could face liquidity
problems that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations
and financial condition.
We
obtain our rental trucks from a limited number of manufacturers.
In the
last ten years, we purchased most of our rental trucks from Ford Motor Company
and General Motors Corporation. Our fleet rotation can be negatively
affected by issues our manufacturers face within their own supply
chain. Also it is possible that our suppliers may face financial
difficulties or organizational changes which could negatively impact their
ability to accept future orders or fulfill existing orders. Although
we believe that we could obtain alternative manufacturers for our rental trucks,
we cannot guarantee or predict how long that would take and 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 for an
indefinite period of time.
Our
fleet rotation program can be adversely affected by financial market
conditions.
To meet
the needs of our customers, U-Haul maintains a large fleet of rental
equipment. Our rental truck fleet rotation program is funded
internally through operations and externally from debt and lease
financing. Our ability to fund our routine fleet rotation program
could be adversely affected if financial market conditions limit the general
availability of external financing. This could lead to the Company
operating trucks longer than initially planned or to an overall reduction in the
size of the fleet, either of which could materially and negatively affect our
results of operations.
Another
important aspect of our fleet rotation program is the sale of used rental
equipment. The sale of used equipment provides the organization with funds that
can be used to purchase new equipment. Conditions may arise that lead to the
decrease in resale values for our used equipment, this could have a material
adverse effect on our financial results, leading to increases in depreciation
expense and losses on the sale of equipment and decreases in cash flows from the
sales of equipment.
