NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 - Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits. Issued in November 1992, this statement applies to employers who provide certain benefits to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement. It requires that the cost of such benefits be recognized over the service period of employees as these benefits vest or accumulate. The provisions of this statement must be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993. The impact of adoption of this statement will not be material. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in May 1993. This standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1994. The standard requires that an impaired loan's fair value be measured and compared to the recorded investment in the loan. If the fair value of the loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, a valuation allowance is established. The Company has not completed an evaluation of the effect of this standard. 13 AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements, Continued (Unaudited) 5. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, continued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 - Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Effective December 31, 1993, RWIC adopted SFAS 115. This statement requires classification of debt securities into one of the following three categories based on management's intention with regard to such securities: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and trading. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are recorded at cost adjusted for the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts while those classified as available-for- sale are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported on a net basis as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Securities classified as trading, if any, are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported on a net basis in income. RWIC does not currently maintain a trading portfolio. U-Haul and Oxford will adopt this statement in fiscal 1995. An evaluation of this statement has not been completed by U-Haul or Oxford. Statement of Position 93-7, "Reporting on Advertising Costs", was issued by the Accounting Standards Executive Committee in December 1993. This statement of position provides guidance on financial reporting on advertising costs in annual financial statements. The statement of position requires reporting advertising costs as expenses when incurred or when the advertising takes place, reporting the costs of direct-response advertising, and amortizing the amount of direct-response advertising reported as assets. This statement of position is effective for financial statements for years beginning after June 15, 1994. The Company currently matches certain advertising costs with revenue generated in future periods, and at June 30, 1994, $9.1 million in advertising costs are deferred and included in prepaid expenses. The Company has completed an evaluation of the effect of this statement of position but has not determined the timing of adoption. 14 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: The following table shows industry segment data from the Company's three industry segments, rental operations, life insurance, and property and casualty insurance, for the quarters ended June 30, 1994 and 1993.

15 U-Haul U-Haul revenues consist of (i) total rental and other revenue and (ii) net sales. Total rental and other revenue increased by $22.6 million, approximately 11.0%, to $229.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995. The increase in fiscal 1995 is primarily attributable to a $23.4 million increase in net revenues from the rental of moving related equipment, which benefited from transactional growth reflecting higher utilization and rental fleet expansion. Revenues from the rental of self-storage facilities increased by $2.1 million to $18.8 million in fiscal 1995, an increase of approximately 12.6%. Storage revenues were positively impacted by additional rentable square footage, higher average occupancy levels, and higher average rental rates. Net sales were $51.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, which represented an increase of approximately 7.8% from fiscal 1994 net sales of $47.6 million. Revenue growth from the sale of hitches, moving support items (i.e. boxes, etc.), and propane resulted in a $4.2 million increase during the quarter, which was offset by a $.4 million decrease in gasoline sales. Cost of sales was $27.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, which represented a decrease of approximately 5.8% from $29.3 million in fiscal 1994. The reduction in fiscal 1994 reflects a combination of the absence of recreational vehicle sales, reduced levels of outside repair and a reduction in inventory adjustments which fully offset increased material costs corresponding to the increase in hitch, moving support and propane sales. Operating expenses increased to $162.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 from $155.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1994, an increase of approximately 4.1%. The change from the prior year primarily reflects higher rental equipment maintenance costs. Efforts to reduce downtime, an increase in fleet size and higher transaction levels are primarily responsible for the increase. Lease expense declined by $12.5 million to $15.2 million reflecting lease terminations, lease restructuring, and lower finance costs on new leases originated during the past 15 months. All other operating expense categories increased in the aggregate by $8.9 million to $96.3 million. Depreciation expense for the three month period was $37.3 million, as compared to $30.1 million in the same period of the prior year, reflecting an increase in fleet size, the acquisition of trucks that were previously leased and real property acquisitions. Oxford Life Insurance Company Premiums from Oxford's reinsurance lines before intercompany eliminations were $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1994, an increase of $.5 million, approximately 15.2% over 1993 and accounted for 89.5% of Oxford's premiums in 1994. These premiums are primarily from term life insurance and single and flexible premium deferred annuities. Increases in premiums are primarily from the anticipated increase in annuitizations as a result of the maturing of deferred annuities. 16 Premiums from Oxford's direct lines before intercompany eliminations were $.4 million in 1994, an increase of $.5 million from 1993. Oxford's direct lines are principally related to the underwriting of group life and disability income. Insurance on the lives of the employees of AMERCO and its subsidiary companies accounted for approximately 10.4% of Oxford's premiums in 1994. Other direct lines accounted for approximately .1% of Oxford's premiums in 1994. Net investment income before intercompany eliminations was $3.6 million and $3.4 million for the period ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Gains on the disposition of fixed maturity investments were $.2 million and $.3 million. Oxford had $.5 million of other income for both quarters ended March 31, 1994 and 1993. Benefits and expenses incurred were $6.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1994, an increase of 34.7% over 1993. Comparable benefits and expenses incurred for 1993 were $4.9 million. This increase is primarily due to the increase in reserve caused by the increase in annuitizations discussed above and an increase in the amortization of deferred acquisition costs. Operating profit after intercompany eliminations decreased by $.6 million, or approximately 24%, in 1994 to $1.9 million, primarily due to an increase in the amortization of deferred acquisition costs. RWIC - Property and Casualty RWIC gross premium writings continues to grow in the first quarter of 1994 to $47.7 million, compared to $34.1 million in 1993, an increase of approximately 39.9%. The rental industry market accounted for a significant share of these premiums, approximately 19.7% and 22.6% in 1994 and 1993, respectively. These writings include U-Haul customers, fleetowners and U-Haul, as well as other rental industry insureds with similar characteristics. RWIC continues underwriting reinsurance via broker markets, and premiums in this area increased to $29.1 million or 61.0% of the total premium in fiscal 1994 from $10.8 million or 31.6% of the total premium in fiscal 1993. Net earned premiums increased $6.4 million, approximately 27%, to $30.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1994. This compares with net earned premiums of $23.7 million for fiscal 1993. The premium increase was primarily due to increased writings in the reinsurance area. Underwriting expenses incurred were $30.7 million for the first quarter of 1994, an increase of $3.8 million, approximately 14.1% over fiscal 1993. Comparable underwriting expenses incurred for 1993 were $26.9 million. Higher underwriting expenses are due to larger premium volumes being written in 1994 which increased acquisition costs and commensurate reserves. Net investment income was $6.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1994, a decrease of approximately 10.4%, as compared to 1993 net investment income of $7.7 million. The decrease is attributable to a combination of funds invested at lower rates and maturities and calls on bonds during 1993. 17 RWIC completed the first quarter of 1994 with net after tax income of $4.9 million as compared to $4.3 million for the comparable period ended March 1993. This represents an increase of $.6 million, or 14.0% over first quarter 1993. The increase is due to better underwriting results. Interest Expense Interest expense declined by $.7 million to $16.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, as compared to $17.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1993. This decrease primarily reflects a reduction in the costs of funds. Consolidated Group As a result of the foregoing, pretax earnings of $45.8 million were realized in the three months ended June 30, 1994, as compared to $29.9 million for the same period in 1993. After providing for income taxes and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 1994 were $29.4 million, as compared to $17.4 million for the same period of the prior year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: U-Haul To meet the needs of its customers, U-Haul must maintain a large inventory of fixed asset rental items. At June 30, 1994, net property, plant and equipment represented approximately 73.8% of total U-Haul assets and approximately 50.8% of consolidated assets. In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, capital expenditures were $144.8 million, as compared to $226.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1994, these expenditures reflect expansion of the rental truck fleet, purchase of trucks previously leased, and real property acquisitions. The capital needs required to fund these acquisitions were funded with internally generated funds from operations, debt, and lease financings. Cash flows from operations was $113.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, as compared to $61.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1994. The increase results from an increase in net earnings, depreciation and amortization and net change in other operating assets and liabilities, specifically receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and deferred credits. At June 30, 1994, total notes and loans payable outstanding was $725.6 million as compared to $723.8 million at March 31, 1994, $766.9 million at June 30, 1993. During each of the fiscal years ending March 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, U-Haul estimates gross capital expenditures will average approximately $360 million as a result of the expansion of the rental truck fleet and self-storage segment. This level of capital expenditures, combined with an average of approximately $100 million in annual long-term debt maturities during this same 18 period, are expected to create annual average funding needs of approximately $460 million. Management estimates that U-Haul will fund approximately 55% of these requirements with internally generated funds, including proceeds from the disposition of older trucks and other asset sales. The remainder of the required capital expenditures are expected to be financed through existing credit facilities, new debt placements, lease fundings, and equity offerings. Oxford Life Insurance Company Oxford's primary sources of cash are premiums, receipts from interest- sensitive products and investment income. The primary uses of cash are operating costs and benefit payments to policyholders. Matching the investment portfolio to the cash flow demands of the types of insurance being written is an important consideration. Benefit and claim statistics are continually monitored to provide projections of future cash requirements. Cash (used) provided by operations and financing was ($3.5) million and $3.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1994. Cash provided by operations and financing for the same period ended March 31, 1993 was $3.0 million. During 1994 and 1993 there were no cash flows from new reinsurance agreements. In addition to cash flow from operations and financing activities, a substantial amount of liquid funds is available through Oxford's short-term portfolio. At March 31, 1994 and 1993, short-term investments amounted to $18.5 million and $9.8 million, respectively. Management believes that the overall sources of liquidity will continue to meet foreseeable cash needs. Stockholder's equity of Oxford, excluding investment in RWIC, decreased to $88.2 million in 1994 from $92.5 million in 1993. In May 1993, Oxford paid dividends of $10.0 million to Ponderosa. Applicable laws and regulations of the State of Arizona require the Company's insurance subsidiaries to maintain minimum capital determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices in the amount of $600,000. In addition, the amount of dividends that can be paid to shareholders by insurance companies domiciled in the State of Arizona is limited. Any dividend in excess of the limit requires prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner. Statutory surplus that can be distributed as dividends is $17,076,000 at March 31, 1993. These restrictions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to meet its cash obligations. RWIC - Property and Casualty RWIC's short-term investment portfolio was $6.6 million at March 31, 1994. This level of liquid assets, combined with budgeted cash flow, is believed by management to be adequate to meet periodic needs. The structure of the long-term portfolio is designed to match future cash needs. Through capital and operating budgets, RWIC seeks to schedule cash needs in accordance with investment and underwriting proceeds. RWIC does not have plans for any near- term large capital outlays. 19 RWIC maintains a diversified investment portfolio, primarily in bonds at varying maturity levels. Approximately 98.2% of the portfolio consists of investment grade securities. The maturity distribution is designed to provide sufficient liquidity to meet future cash needs. Current liquidity is adequate, with current invested assets equal to 98.7% of total liabilities. The liability for unpaid losses is based on the estimated ultimate cost of settling claims reported prior to the end of the accounting period, estimates received from ceding reinsurers and estimates for unreported losses based on the historical experience of RWIC, supplemented by insurance industry historical experience. Unpaid loss adjustment expenses are based on historical ratios of loss adjustment expenses paid to losses paid. Unpaid loss and loss expenses are not discounted. Shareholder equity increased 2.3% from $165.1 million at December 31, 1993 to $168.9 million at March 31, 1994. RWIC considers current shareholders' equity to be adequate to support future growth and absorb unforseen risk events. RWIC does not use debt or equity issues to increase capital and therefore has no exposure to capital market conditions. During the first quarter of 1994, RWIC paid no shareholder dividends. Credit Agreements The Company's operations are funded by various credit and financing arrangements, including unsecured long-term borrowings, unsecured medium-term notes, and revolving lines of credit with domestic and foreign banks. Principally to finance its fleet of trucks and trailers, the Company routinely enters into sale and leaseback transactions. As of June 30, 1994, the Company had $725.5 million in total notes and loans payable outstanding and unutilized lines of credit of approximately $37.5 million. Certain of the Company's credit agreements contain restrictive financial and other covenants, including, among others, covenants with respect to incurring additional indebtedness, maintaining certain financial ratios, and placing certain additional liens on its properties and assets. At June 30, 1994, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. In addition, these credit agreements contain provisions that could result in a required prepayment upon a "change in control" of the Company. Under certain of the Company's credit agreements, a "change in control" is deemed to occur if (a) any transfer of any shares of any class of capital stock results in the Company's ESOP and members of the Shoen family owning in the aggregate less than the amount of capital stock as may be necessary to enable them to cast in excess of 50% of the votes for the election of directors of the Company or (b) during any period for two consecutive years, persons who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors of the Company (including any director approved by a vote of not less than 66 2/3% of such board) cease for any reason to constitute greater than 50% of the then acting Board. 20 PART II.
