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.

AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (“AMERCO”), is the holding company for:

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

AMERCO 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)”).

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.

Long-term debt was as follows:

U-Haul S Fleet and its subsidiaries (collectively, “USF”) issued a $217.0 million asset-backed note (“Box Truck Note”) and an $86.6 million asset-backed note (“Cargo Van/Pickup Note”) on June 1, 2007. USF is a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity wholly-owned by U-Haul International, Inc. The net proceeds from these securitized transactions were used to finance new box truck, cargo van and pickup truck purchases throughout fiscal 2008. U.S. Bank, NA acts as the trustee for this securitization.

The Box Truck Note has a fixed interest rate of 5.56% with an estimated final maturity of February 2014. At September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance was $179.8 million. The note is secured by the box trucks that were purchased and operating cash flows associated with their operation.

The Cargo Van/Pickup Note has a fixed interest rate of 5.40% with an estimated final maturity of May 2010. At September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance was $86.6 million. The note is secured by the cargo vans and pickup trucks that were purchased and the operating cash flows associated with their operation.

The Box Truck Note and Cargo Van/Pickup Note have the benefit of financial guaranty insurance policies that guarantee the timely payment of interest on and the ultimate payment of the principal of the notes.

The Box Truck Note and the Cargo Van/Pickup Note are subject to certain covenants with respect to liens, additional indebtedness of the special purpose entities, the disposition of assets and other customary covenants of bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities. The default provisions of the notes include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change in control covenants.

In April 2008, the Company entered into a $10.0 million capital lease for new rental equipment. The term of the lease is seven years and the Company has the option to purchase the equipment at a predetermined amount after the fifth year of the lease. At September 30, 2008, the balance on the lease was $9.6 million.

The Company entered into $7.9 million of premium financing arrangements for one year expiring in March and April 2009 at rates between 3.64% and 5.10%. At September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance of these arrangements was $4.5 million.

Expenses associated with loans outstanding were as follows:

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.

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.

Interest rates and Company borrowings were as follows:

On December 5, 2007, we announced that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) had authorized us to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our common stock. The stock may be repurchased by the Company from time to time on the open market until December 31, 2008. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares and the timing of such purchases will depend upon market conditions and other corporate considerations. Any purchases will be funded from available working capital. During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, no shares of our common stock were repurchased, with the exception of the shares repurchased under our Odd Lot Repurchase Program detailed below.

On August 8, 2008, we announced the Board had authorized us to initiate a no-fee Odd Lot Repurchase Program (the “Program”) to purchase AMERCO common stock held by persons who own less than 100 shares of AMERCO common stock. The Program offer expired at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on October 31, 2008, unless extended or earlier terminated. The Company reserves the right to terminate this program at any time at its discretion. The following table details the shares purchased as part of the Program.

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 2015, with the exception of one land lease expiring in 2034. At September 30, 2008, AMERCO had guaranteed $185.2 million of residual values for 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 since 1987 and has experienced no material losses relating to these types of residual value guarantees.

Lease commitments for leases having terms of more than one year were as follows:

In September 2002, Paul F. Shoen filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, Washoe County, captionedPaul 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
