10 AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2000, March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 (Unaudited) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (AMERCO), is the holding company for U-Haul International, Inc. (U-Haul), Amerco Real Estate Company (Real Estate), Republic Western Insurance Company (RepWest) and Oxford Life Insurance Company (Oxford). PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent corporation, AMERCO, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions of AMERCO and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in AMERCO's annual financial statements and notes. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The operating results and financial position of AMERCO's consolidated insurance operations are determined on a one quarter lag. There were no effects related to intervening events which would materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations for the financial statements presented herein. Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1999 to conform with the current year's presentation. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, AMERCO adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in the financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The adoption of SAB 101 was not material to AMERCO's condensed consolidated financial statements.

RELATED PARTIES During the nine months ended December 31, 2000, subsidiaries of AMERCO held various senior and junior notes with SAC Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries (SAC Holdings). The voting common stock of SAC Holdings is held by Mark V. Shoen, a major stockholder of AMERCO. AMERCO's subsidiaries received interest payments of $26,318,000 and principal payments of $795,000 from SAC Holdings during the nine months ended December 31, 2000. The terms of the notes with SAC Holdings are consistent with the terms of notes held by U-Haul for other properties owned by unrelated parties and managed by U-Haul. These amounts are reflected in Investments, other of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the nine months ended December 31, 2000, a subsidiary of AMERCO funded through a note the purchase of properties and construction costs for SAC Holdings of approximately $182,576,000. This amount is reflected in Investments, other of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. U-Haul currently manages the properties owned by SAC Holdings pursuant to a management agreement, under which U-Haul receives a management fee equal to 6% of the gross receipts from the properties. Management fees of $4,523,000 and $3,348,000 were received during the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The management fee percentage is consistent with the fees received by U-Haul for other properties owned by unrelated parties and managed by U-Haul. In June 2000, Real Estate completed the sale of twenty-four storage properties to Twelve SAC Self-Storage Corporation, Thirteen SAC Self-Storage Corporation and Fourteen SAC Self-Storage Corporation, subsidiaries of SAC Holding Corporation, for $98,351,000. Real Estate received cash and notes from the sale. The gain is reflected in the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Management believes that the foregoing transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions.

GENERAL Information on industry segments is incorporated by reference from "Item 1. Financial Statements - Notes 1, 3 and 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements". The notes discuss the principles of consolidation, summarized consolidated financial information and industry segment and geographical area data, respectively. In consolidation, all intersegment premiums are eliminated and the benefits, losses and expenses are retained by the insurance companies. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 VERSUS NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 Moving and Storage Operations Revenues consist of rental revenues, net sales and investment and interest income. Total rental revenue was $951.1 million and $907.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net revenues from the rental of moving related equipment increased by $35.8 million. This increase is primarily attributable to higher truck and trailer rental revenues. Storage revenues increased $8.2 million due to increases in rates and in the number of storage rooms rented. Net sales revenues were $155.1 million and $148.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Revenue growth resulted from the sale of moving support items (i.e. boxes, etc.), which led to the majority of the increase, and from an increase in the sale of hitches. Net investment and interest income was $22.4 million and $15.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase is due to increased investments. Cost of sales was $87.6 million and $87.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Operating expenses before intercompany eliminations were $742.8 million and $721.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Increased expenditure levels for personnel and rental equipment maintenance, due to an increase in truck rental transactions and in fleet size, were primarily responsible. Net depreciation expense was $59.8 million and $54.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase reflects depreciation on the rental truck fleet. Operating profit before tax and intercompany elimination was $103.5 million and $98.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
21 Real Estate Operations Rental revenue before intercompany eliminations was $54.1 million and $55.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Intercompany revenue was $52.6 million and $53.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net investment and interest income was $7.8 million and $5.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This increase correlates to an increase in investments in notes and mortgages. Net depreciation expense was $8.0 million and $6.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase is due to the build out of storage facilities. Operating profit before tax and intercompany elimination was $12.2 million and $18.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease reflects increases in lease expenses. Property and Casualty RepWest's premiums were $135.7 million and $100.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. General agency premiums were $37.5 million and $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Assumed treaty reinsurance premium was $50.5 million and $35.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Rental industry revenue was $28.2 million and $35.6 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This change was caused by the restructuring of the rental industry Business Auto General Liability Policy. Net investment income was $23.7 million and $24.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The reduction is attributable to decreased gains and decreased invested assets. Benefits and losses were $116.4 million and $82.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This increase is due to new agency programs in Non-Standard Auto and Transportation, as well as in assumed treaty reinsurance business. The amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) was $10.1 million and $10.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Operating expenses were $37.8 million and $23.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase is a result of commissions on new agency business premium writings as well as assumed reinsurance treaties, increased personnel expenses and changes in claims handling procedures. Operating profit (loss) before tax and intercompany elimination was $(4.9) million and $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease is the result of additional incurred losses and operating expense, and decreased investment income, offset by an increase in earned premiums.
22 Life Insurance Net premiums were $78.3 million and $71.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The difference was primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in the credit insurance lines and a $4.1 million increase in the Medicare supplement line. Premiums related to other health insurance products increased $0.4 million. Earned premiums from life insurance and annuitizations decreased $0.2 million. Net investment income before intercompany eliminations was $18.2 million and $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase was due to improved interest rate spreads on the interest sensitive products and a larger invested asset base. Benefits were $54.2 million and $44.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Medicare supplement benefits increased $6.4 million from 1999 and credit insurance benefits increased $2.0 million from 1999. Other health insurance benefits increased $1.6 million for the year primarily from one-time charges and poor group disability experience. Annuity benefits increased $0.8 million from 1999. The life insurance lines have had better mortality experience in 2000, resulting in a $1.2 million decrease in benefits from 1999. Amortization of DAC was $15.0 million and $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease is due to credit reinsurance. Operating expenses were $19.9 million and $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase is due to premium volume increases. Operating profit before tax and intercompany eliminations was $7.4 million and $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease is due to loss ratios on the Medicare supplement business and Credit insurance business. Interest Expense Interest expense was $65.2 million and $61.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase can be attributed to increases in the average debt outstanding and in the average cost of debt. Consolidated Group As a result of the foregoing, pretax earnings totaled $95.5 million and $116.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. After providing for income taxes, net earnings from operations were $61.7 million and $75.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Following deductions for an extraordinary loss from the early extinguishment of debt, net earnings were $59.6 million and $75.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
23 QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 VERSUS QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 Moving and Storage Operations Revenues consist of rental revenues, net sales and investment and interest income. Total rental revenue was $270.8 million and $264.8 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net revenues from the rental of moving related equipment increased by $4.0 million. This increase is primarily attributable to higher truck and trailer rental revenues. Storage revenues increased $2.0 million due to increases in rates and in the number of storage rooms rented. Net sales revenues was $41.1 million and $38.5 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Revenue growth resulted from the sale of moving support items (i.e. boxes, etc.) which led to the majority of the increase during the quarter. Net investment and interest income was $8.9 million and $5.2 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase is due to increased investments. Cost of sales was $21.6 million and $25.0 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Operating expenses before intercompany elimination were $251.0 million and $244.6 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase reflects higher personnel and rental equipment maintenance expenditures associated with an increase in truck rental transactions and inventory levels. Net depreciation expense was $20.6 million and $20.8 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Operating loss before tax and intercompany elimination was $18.0 million and $19.7 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Real Estate Operations Rental revenue before intercompany eliminations was $18.0 million and $18.4 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Intercompany revenue remained constant at $17.8 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. Net investment and interest income was $2.8 million and $0.9 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This increase correlates to an increase in investments in notes and mortgages. Net depreciation expense was $2.7 million and $2.2 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Operating profit before tax and intercompany elimination was $4.1 million and $4.5 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease reflects increases in lease expenses.
24 Property and Casualty RepWest's premiums were $63.4 million and $35.7 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase is directly related to general agency premiums, which were $17.3 million and $3.4 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Assumed treaty reinsurance premium were $27.5 million and $14.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net investment income was $8.0 million and $8.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Benefits and losses incurred were $56.3 million and $28.7 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase is a result of new general agency business writings in Non-Standard Auto and Transportation, as well as in assumed treaty reinsurance business. The amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) was $3.8 million and $3.3 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase is due to the increase in new business. Operating expenses were $18.0 million and $7.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The change is due to increased commission expense resulting from new agency business premium writings on Non Standard Auto and Transportation coverages, as well as assumed treaty business. General and administrative expenses also increased due to an increase in personnel and overhead required to support new business expansion. Operating profit (loss) before tax and intercompany elimination was $(6.8) million and $4.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This decrease is the result of increased incurred losses and operating expense, offset by an increase in earned premiums.
25 Life Insurance Net premiums were $26.8 million and $24.3 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The change is primarily due to a $0.3 million increase in the credit insurance line and a $1.5 million increase in the Medicare supplement line. Annuitizations and premiums from other health and life insurance products increased $0.7 million. Net investment income before intercompany eliminations remained constant at $5.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. Benefits were $18.5 million and $14.3 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Medicare supplement benefits increased $2.7 million from 1999 due to higher loss ratios. Other health insurance benefits increased $0.9 million due to poor group disability experience. Annuity benefits increased $0.6 million. Amortization of DAC was $4.8 million and $6.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Amortization from annuities decreased $0.5 million, other health insurance amortization decreased $0.2 million and the credit insurance amortization decreased $0.6 million for the quarter. Operating expenses were $6.6 million and $5.9 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This increase included $1.6 million in Medical Supplement commissions to agents, partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in administration costs and surrender charge income of $0.2 million. Operating profit before tax and intercompany eliminations was $2.6 million and $3.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease is due to loss ratios on the Medicare supplement business. Interest Expense Interest expense was unchanged at $21.2 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. Consolidated Group As a result of the foregoing, pretax loss was $26.6 million and $14.8 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. After providing for income taxes, net loss from operations was $17.1 million and $9.3 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Following deductions for an extraordinary loss from the early extinguishment of debt, net loss was $19.2 million and $9.3 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
26 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Moving and Storage Operations To meet the needs of its customers, U-Haul maintains a large inventory of rental items. In the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, capital expenditures were $280.0 million and $269.5 million, respectively. These expenditures primarily reflect the expansion of the rental truck fleet. The capital required to fund these acquisitions was obtained through internally generated funds from operations and through lease financings. Cash provided (used) by operating activities was ($33.4) million and $128.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease resulted primarily from an increase in receivables. At December 31, 2000, total outstanding notes and loans payable was $1,182.1 million as compared to $1,137.8 million at March 31, 2000. Real Estate Operations Cash provided by operating activities was $75.8 million and $6.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase resulted from an increase in accounts payable. Property and Casualty Cash provided (used) by operating activities was $20.3 million and $(9.2) million for nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This change resulted from increases in unearned premium, funds withheld and decreased accounts receivable from December 1999 to September 2000. The increase was offset by a decrease in loss and loss adjusting expense reserves from December 1999 to September 2000 and decreased net income. RepWest's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment portfolio were $12.0 million and $1.4 million at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase is a result of $5.4 million in short-term assets that were on hand at September 2000 to cover a pending securities settlement. In addition, short-term assets were increased during the period due to increased claim payments generated by new business. RepWest maintains a diversified securities investment portfolio, primarily in bonds, at varying maturity levels with 88.0% of the fixed-income securities consisting of investment grade securities. The maturity distribution is designed to provide sufficient liquidity to meet future cash needs. Current liquidity remains strong with current invested assets equal to 97.2% of total liabilities. The liability for reported and unreported losses is based upon company historical and industry averages. 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.
27 Life Insurance 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. Cash provided (used) by operating activities was ($0.3) million and $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease is due to higher benefit payouts in relation to collected premium. Cash provided (used) by financing activities was $7.1 million and ($0.1) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase is due to a better ratio of annuity deposits to withdrawals. In addition to cash flows from operating and financing activities, a substantial amount of liquid funds is available through Oxford's short-term portfolio. Short-term investments were $59.7 million and $52.1 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Management believes that the overall sources of liquidity will continue to meet foreseeable cash needs. Consolidated Group During each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, AMERCO estimates gross capital expenditures will average approximately $313 million primarily reflecting rental fleet rotation. This level of capital expenditures, combined with an average of approximately $72 million in annual long-term debt maturities during this same period, are expected to create annual average funding needs of approximately $385 million. Credit Agreements AMERCO'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, AMERCO routinely enters into sale and leaseback transactions. As of December 31, 2000, AMERCO had $1,182.1 million in total notes and loans payable outstanding and unutilized lines of credit of approximately $67.2 million. Certain of AMERCO'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, assets and restricting the issuance of certain types of preferred stock. At December 31, 2000, AMERCO was in compliance with these covenants. Reference is made to Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in AMERCO's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 for additional information about AMERCO's credit agreements.

29 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 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 the suits, claims or proceedings involving AMERCO, individually or in the aggregate, are expected to result in a material loss. Reference is made to Part I, Item 1, Business, in AMERCO's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 for a discussion of certain environmental proceedings. On June 24, 1997, five (5) current and/or former Moving Center General Managers (GMs) and one (1) Area Field Manager (AFM) filed suit in Marin County Superior Court, Case No. BC 203532, entitled Sarah Saunders, et. al. vs. U-Haul ----------------------- ------ Company of California, Inc., claiming that they were entitled to be compensated - --------------------------- for all overtime hours worked. In addition, these Plaintiffs sought class action status purporting to represent all persons employed in California as either a salaried GM or AFM since September 1993. On September 30, 1997, a virtually identical lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Case No. BC 178775, entitled Wyatt Crandall vs. U-Haul International, Inc. and U-Haul -------------- ------------------------------------- Co. of California. This action did not include AFMs, but did purport to be - ----------------- brought on behalf of GMs and GM trainees. These cases were consolidated by the Court in Los Angeles on October 15, 1998. On June 10, 1999, Plaintiff's motion to certify the AFMs as a class was denied and the motion to certify the GMs as a class was granted. Notice of certification was mailed on or about August 24, 1999. The class opt-out period ended on October 11, 1999. The case was bifurcated and the liability portion of the case was tried to the Court beginning in November 2000. The Court found for the Plaintiffs on January 8, 2001. The damage portion of the case will be tried to the Court beginning April 9, 2001. Management does not expect the Plaintiffs' damage claims to result in a material loss; however, there remains the possibility that an adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on AMERCO's results of operations for the year in which the judgment is rendered.
