There are restrictions on the ability of our insurance subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Their ordinary dividends are limited to the lower of 10% of prior year statutory surplus or prior year net income. Any extraordinary dividend, loans or advances to us from the insurance subsidiaries must be approved by the domiciliary insurance commissioner. Any dividend in excess of the limit requires prior regulatory approval. The statutory surplus for Repwest at December 31, 2019 that could be distributed as ordinary dividends was $ 22.7 million. The statutory surplus for Oxford at December 31, 2019 that could be distributed as ordinary dividends was $ 18.6 million. Repwest paid a dividend of $ 21.6 million to AMERCO during fiscal 2020. Repwest did not pay a dividend to AMERCO in fiscal 2019 or 2018. Oxford did not pay a dividend to AMERCO in fiscal 2020, 2019 or 2018, respectively. Restricted net assets for our insurance subsidiaries were $ 98.5 million and $ 130.2 million as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. F- 45   amerco and consolidated subsidiaries notes to consolidated financial statements – (continued) For our insurance subsidiaries, statutory accounting principles (“SAP”) differ from GAAP primarily in that: (i) premiums from deferred annuities are recognized as revenue under SAP, while they are accounted for as liabilities from investment contracts under GAAP; (ii) policy acquisition costs are expensed as incurred under SAP, while they are deferred and amortized over the effective period of the related life insurance policies or the present value of actual and expected gross profits from annuity deposits; (iii) policy benefits and losses are established using different actuarial assumptions; and (iv) investments are valued on a different basis and valuation allowances attributable to investments are different. In addition, certain assets are not admitted under SAP and are charged directly to surplus.
