NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

1. Basis of Presentation

AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (“AMERCO”), has a third fiscal quarter that ends on the 31st of December for each year that is referenced. Our insurance company subsidiaries have a third quarter that ends on the 30th of September 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 2011 and 2010 correspond to fiscal 2012 and 2011 for AMERCO.

During the Property and Casualty segment’s fourth quarter (October 2011 to December 2011) an adjustment was made to strengthen excess workers’ compensation reserves. Due to the materiality of this adjustment and its timing in relation to AMERCO’s third quarter reporting, the adjustment was recorded into the Property and Casualty third quarter fiscal 2012 results as presented herein.

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 sheet as of December 31, 2011 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the third quarter and the first nine months and the cash flows for the first nine months ended fiscal 2012 and 2011 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Description of Legal Entities

AMERCO is the holding company for:

U-Haul International, Inc. (“U-Haul”),

Amerco Real Estate Company (“Real Estate”),

Repwest Insurance Company (“Repwest”), and

Oxford Life Insurance Company (“Oxford”).

Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to AMERCO and all of its legal subsidiaries.

Description of Operating Segments

AMERCO has three reportable segments. They are Moving and Storage, Property and Casualty Insurance and Life Insurance.

The Moving and Storage operating segment includes AMERCO, U-Haul, and Real Estate and the wholly-owned subsidiaries of U-Haul and Real Estate. Operations 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.

The Property and Casualty Insurance operating segment includes Repwest and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and ARCOA risk retention group (“ARCOA”). Property and Casualty Insurance provides loss

AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

adjusting and claims handling for U-Haul through regional offices across North America. Property and Casualty Insurance also underwrites components of the Safemove, Safetow, Super Safemove and Safestor protection packages to U-Haul customers. The business plan for the Property and Casualty Insurance operating segment includes offering property and casualty products in other U-Haul related programs. ARCOA is a captive insurer owned by the Company whose purpose is to provide insurance products related to the moving and storage business.

The Life Insurance operating segment includes Oxford and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Oxford provides life and health insurance products primarily to the senior market through the direct writing and reinsuring of life insurance, Medicare supplement and annuity policies.

2. Earnings per Share

Net earnings for purposes of computing earnings per common share are net earnings less preferred stock dividends paid, adjusted for the price paid by us for the redemption of our preferred stock less its carrying value on our balance sheet. Preferred stock dividends include accrued dividends of AMERCO. Preferred stock dividends paid to or accrued for entities that are part of the consolidated group are eliminated in consolidation.

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 120,725 and 164,035 as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

On June 1, 2011, the Company redeemed all 6,100,000 shares of its issued and outstanding Series A 8½% Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) at a redemption price of $25 per share plus accrued dividends through that date. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260 – Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), for earnings per share purposes, we recognized the deficit of the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred over the consideration paid to redeem the shares.

The Series A Preferred was recorded in our Additional Paid-In Capital account, net of original issue costs at $146.3 million prior to the redemption. The Company paid $152.5 million to redeem the shares on June 1, 2011 of which $7.7 million was paid to our insurance subsidiaries in exchange for their holdings. The difference between what was paid to redeem the shares less their carrying amount on our balance sheet, reduced by our insurance subsidiaries holdings is $5.9 million. This amount was recognized as a reduction to our earnings available to our common shareholders for the purposes of computing earnings per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2012.

From January 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, our insurance subsidiaries purchased 308,300 shares of our Series A Preferred on the open market for $7.2 million. Pursuant to ASC 260, we recognized a $0.2 million charge to net earnings in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 in connection with these purchases.

3. Investments

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Company deposits bonds with insurance regulatory authorities to meet statutory requirements. The adjusted cost of bonds on deposit with insurance regulatory authorities was $14.4 million at December 31, 2011.

The table above includes gross unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.

The Company sold available-for-sale securities with a fair value of $132.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2012. The gross realized gains on these sales totaled $5.8 million. The gross realized losses on these sales totaled $0.1 million.

The unrealized losses of more than twelve months in the available-for-sale table are considered temporary declines. The Company tracks each investment with an unrealized loss and evaluates them on an individual basis for other-than-temporary impairments including obtaining corroborating opinions from third party sources, performing trend analysis and reviewing management’s future plans. Certain of these investments may have declines determined by management to be other-than-temporary and the Company recognizes these write-downs through earnings. The Company’s insurance subsidiaries recognized $0.1 million in other-than-temporary impairments for the first nine months of fiscal 2012. There were no write downs in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011 or for the first nine months of fiscal 2011.

The investment portfolio primarily consists of corporate securities and U.S. government securities. The Company believes it monitors its investments as appropriate. The Company’s methodology of assessing other-than-temporary impairments is based on security-specific analysis as of the balance sheet date and considers various factors including the length of time to maturity, the extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether the debtor is current on its contractually obligated interest and principal payments. Nothing has come to management’s attention that would lead to the belief that each issuer would not have the ability to meet the remaining contractual obligations of the security, including payment at maturity. The Company has the ability and intent not to sell its fixed maturity and common stock investments for a period of time sufficient to allow the Company to recover its costs.

The portion of other-than-temporary impairment related to a credit loss is recognized in earnings. The significant inputs utilized in the evaluation of mortgage backed securities credit losses include ratings, delinquency rates, and prepayment activity. The significant inputs utilized in the evaluation of asset backed securities credit losses include the time frame for principal recovery and the subordination and value of the underlying collateral.

5. Derivatives

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 currently anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. Interest rate swap agreements are not entered into for trading purposes.

Gains or losses recognized in income on derivatives are recorded as interest expense in the statements of operations. At December 31, 2011, the Company expects to reclassify $19.9 million of net losses on interest rate contracts from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings that will offset interest payments over the next twelve months.

6. Stockholders’ Equity

On December 7, 2011, the Company declared a special cash dividend on its Common Stock of $1.00 per share to holders of record on December 23, 2011. The dividend was paid on January 3, 2012.

Although the Board of Directors (the “Board”) decided to pay cash dividends to common stockholders, this is not necessarily indicative of the ability of the Company to pay (or the future willingness of the Board to declare the advisability of) cash dividends to our common stockholders on a consistent basis or at all in the future.

On June 1, 2011, the Company redeemed all 6,100,000 shares of its issued and outstanding Series A Preferred at a redemption price of $25 per share plus accrued dividends through that date. Pursuant to ASC 260, for earnings per share purposes, we recognized the deficit of the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred over the consideration paid to redeem the shares.

From January 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011, our insurance subsidiaries purchased 308,300 shares of Series A Preferred on the open market for $7.2 million. Pursuant to ASC 260, we recognized a $0.2 million charge to net earnings for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 in connection with these entities.

8. Change in Excess Workers’ Compensation Reserves Estimate

The Company’s policy is to regularly review the adequacy of loss reserves associated with the lines of business of its insurance subsidiaries. A current review of the underlying claims of Repwest’s excess workers’ compensation business indicated that claims have been developing more adversely than previously anticipated based on a combination of issues including medical inflation, additional treatments, longer claim terms and changes in ceding entity and third party administrator reporting practices. As a result, Repwest adjusted its estimate for excess workers’ compensation reserves. The effect of this change increased benefits and losses expense by $48.3 million and decreased net earnings by $31.4 million, or $1.61 per share, for the third quarter ended fiscal 2012.

9. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

The Company leases a portion of its rental equipment and certain of its facilities under operating leases with terms that expire at various dates substantially through 2018, with the exception of one land lease expiring in 2034. As of December 31, 2011, AMERCO has guaranteed $139.4 million of residual values for these rental equipment assets at the end of the respective lease terms. Certain leases contain renewal and fair market value purchase options as well as mileage and other restrictions. At the expiration of the lease, the Company has the option to renew the lease, purchase the asset for fair market value, or sell the asset to a third party on behalf of the lessor. AMERCO has been leasing equipment since 1987 and has experienced no material losses relating to these types of residual value guarantees.

10. 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.

On May 12, 2011, the Nevada Supreme Court affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded the case for further proceedings. First, the Court ruled that the Goldwasser settlement did not release claims that arose after the agreement and, therefore, reversed the trial court’s dismissal of the Complaint on that ground. Second, the Court affirmed the district court’s determination that the in pari delicto defense is available in a derivative suit and reversed and remanded to the district court to determine if the defense applies to this matter. Third, the Court remanded to the district court to conduct an evidentiary hearing to determine whether demand upon the AMERCO Board was, in fact, futile. Fourth, the Court invited AMERCO to seek a ruling from the district court as to the legal effect of the AMERCO Shareholders’ 2008 ratification of the underlying AMERCO/SAC transactions.

Last, as to individual claims for relief, the Court affirmed the district court’s dismissal of the breach of fiduciary duty of loyalty claims as to all defendants except Mark Shoen. The Court affirmed the district court’s dismissal of the breach of fiduciary duty: ultra vires Acts claim as to all defendants. The Court reversed the district court’s dismissal of aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims against the SAC entities. The Court reversed the trial court’s dismissal of the claim for wrongful interference with prospective economic advantage as to all defendants.

On remand, on July 22, 2011, AMERCO filed a Motion for Summary Judgment based upon the Shareholder’s Ratification of the SAC transactions. In addition, on August 29, 2011, certain defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Claim for Wrongful Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage. On August 31, 2011, the trial court held a status conference and entered an order setting forth the briefing schedule for the two motions. On December 23, 2011, the trial court denied AMERCO’s motion for summary judgment and certain defendants’ motion to dismiss. The court has set a discovery schedule on the limited issue of demand futility. An evidentiary hearing on demand futility is scheduled for August 20, 2012.

Environmental

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 air, land and water 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.

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.

11. Related Party Transactions

As set forth in the Audit Committee Charter and consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company’s Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) reviews and maintains oversight over related party transactions which are required to be disclosed under the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. Accordingly, all such related party transactions are submitted to the Audit Committee for ongoing review and oversight. The Company’s internal processes ensure that the Company’s legal and finance departments identify and monitor potential related party transactions which may require disclosure and Audit Committee oversight.

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 completed on terms substantially equivalent to those that would prevail in arm’s-length transactions.

SAC Holding Corporation and SAC Holding II Corporation, (collectively “SAC Holdings”) were established in order to acquire self-storage properties. These properties are being managed by the Company pursuant to management agreements. In the past, the Company has sold various self-storage properties to SAC Holdings, and such sales provided significant cash flows to the Company.

Management believes that the sales of self-storage properties to SAC Holdings has provided a unique structure for the Company to earn moving equipment rental revenues and property management fee revenues from the SAC Holdings self-storage properties that the Company manages.

AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

During the first nine months of fiscal 2012, 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 received cash interest payments of $13.4 million and $12.2 million, from SAC Holdings during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. The largest aggregate amount of notes receivable outstanding during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was $196.2 million and the aggregate notes receivable balance at December 31, 2011 was $195.6 million. In accordance with the terms of these notes, SAC Holdings may prepay the notes without penalty or premium at any time. The scheduled maturities of these notes are between 2019 and 2024.

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 nine months of fiscal 2012, AMERCO and U-Haul held various junior notes issued by Private Mini Storage Realty, L.P. (“Private Mini”). The equity interests of Private Mini are ultimately controlled by Blackwater. The Company received cash interest payments of $4.0 million and $4.1 million from Private Mini during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. The largest aggregate amount outstanding during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was $66.7 million and the aggregate notes receivable balance at December 31, 2011 was $66.4 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 $18.0 million and $17.8 million from the above mentioned entities during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, 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. 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 December 31, 2011, 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

These agreements and notes with subsidiaries of SAC Holdings, 4 SAC, 5 SAC, Galaxy and Private Mini, excluding Dealer Agreements, provided revenues of $31.3 million, expenses of $1.8 million and cash flows of $32.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2012. Revenues and commission expenses related to the Dealer Agreements were $154.9 million and $33.1 million, respectively during the first nine months of fiscal 2012.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2009-17 (“ASU 2009-17”), which amends the FASB ASC for the issuance of FASB Statement 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation 46(R), as of April 1, 2010. Management determined that the junior notes of SAC Holdings and Private Mini and the management agreements with SAC Holdings, Mercury, 4 SAC, 5 SAC, Galaxy, and Private Mini represent potential variable interests for the Company. Management evaluated whether it should be identified as the primary beneficiary of one or more of these variable interest entity’s (“VIE’s”) using a two step approach in which management (i) identified all other parties that hold interests in the VIE’s, and (ii) determined if any variable interest holder has the power to direct the activities of the VIE’s that most significantly impact their economic performance.

Management determined that they do not have a variable interest in the holding entities Mercury, 4 SAC, 5 SAC, or Galaxy through management agreements which are with the individual operating entities or through the issuance of junior debt; therefore, the Company is precluded from consolidating these entities, which is consistent with the accounting treatment immediately prior to adopting ASU 2009-17.

The Company has junior debt with the holding entities SAC Holding Corporation, SAC Holding II Corporation, and Private Mini which represents a variable interest in each individual entity. Though the Company has certain protective rights within these debt agreements, the Company has no present influence or control over these holding entities unless their protective rights become exercisable, which management considers unlikely based on their payment history. As a result, the Company has no basis under ASC 810 - Consolidation (“ASC 810”) to consolidate these entities, which is consistent with the accounting treatment immediately prior to adopting ASU 2009-17.

The Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the individual operating entities which have management agreements with U-Haul. Through control of the holding entities assets, and its ability and history of making key decisions relating to the entity and its assets, Blackwater, and its owner, are the variable interest holder with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact each of the individual holding entities and the individual operating entities’ performance. As a result, the Company has no basis under ASC 810 to consolidate these entities, which is consistent with the accounting treatment immediately prior to adopting ASU 2009-17.

12. Consolidating Financial Information by Industry Segment

AMERCO’s three reportable segments are:

·	Moving and Storage, comprised of AMERCO, U-Haul, and Real Estate and the subsidiaries of U-Haul and Real Estate,

·	Property and Casualty Insurance, comprised of Repwest and its subsidiaries and ARCOA, and

·	Life Insurance, comprised of Oxford and its subsidiaries.

Management tracks revenues separately, but does not report any separate measure of the profitability for rental vehicles, rentals of self-storage spaces and sales of products that are required to be classified as a separate operating segment and accordingly does not present these as separate reportable segments. Deferred income taxes are shown as liabilities on the condensed consolidating statements.

The information includes elimination entries necessary to consolidate AMERCO, the parent, with its subsidiaries.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent using the equity method of accounting.
