                 AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                              (Unaudited)

1.   PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent
     corporation, AMERCO, and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned.
     All material intercompany accounts and transactions of AMERCO and its
     subsidiaries (herein called the "Company" or the "consolidated group") have
     been eliminated.  The consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 1994 and
     1993, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in
     stockholders' equity and cash flows for the quarters ended June 30, 1994
     and 1993 are unaudited; in the opinion of management, all adjustments
     necessary for a fair presentation of such 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 financial statements and notes are  presented as permitted by Form 10-Q
     and do not contain information included in the Company's annual financial
     statements and notes.
  
  Earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of
     shares outstanding, not including ESOP shares that have not been committed
     to release.  Net income is reduced for preferred dividends.

  Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the
     quarter ended June 30, 1993 to conform with the current year's
     presentation.

3.   CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

  The Company is a defendant in a number of suits and claims incident to
    the type of business conducted and several administrative
    proceedings arising from state and local provisions that regulate
    the removal and/or clean up of underground fuel storage tanks. The
    Company owns property within two state hazardous waste sites in the
    state of Washington.  At this time, the remedial cleanup cost or
    range of costs for such sites cannot be estimated.  Management's
    opinion is that none of the suits or claims involving AMERCO and/or
    its subsidiaries is expected to result in any material loss.

3.   CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS, continued

  Certain of the Company's credit agreements contain provisions that
     could result in a required prepayment upon a "change in control"
     of the Company.  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 than
     50% of the then acting Board.
  
  The Company does not currently have available sources of financing
     to fund such prepayments if they become payable in full. In
     addition, upon such a "change in control," the Company might lose
     the ability to draw on certain unutilized lines of credit
     otherwise available.

  As disclosed in the Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1994,
     certain members of the Company's Board of Directors are
     defendants in an action whereby the plaintiffs, certain
     shareholders of the Company, have alleged that certain of the
     individual plaintiffs were wrongfully excluded from sitting on
     the Company's Board of Directors in 1988 through the sale of the
     Company's common stock to certain key employees, various breaches
     of fiduciary duty and other unlawful conduct by the individual
     defendants.  The plaintiffs seek equitable relief, compensatory
     damages, and punitive damages.  All claims for various breaches
     of fiduciary duty and other unlawful conduct by the individual
     defendants that would have allowed the plaintiffs to sit on the
     Board of Directors have been dismissed, subject only to the right
     of the plaintiffs to appeal such dismissal.  The Company was also
     a defendant in the action as originally filed, but was dismissed
     from the action on August 15, 1994, subject only to the right, to
     the extent that any exists, of the plaintiffs to appeal such
     dismissal. See also Note 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements

5.   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.

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.  The effect of adopting this statement on 
     the Company's financial statements is immaterial.
 
  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.  However, the Company must adopt this 
     Statement of Position in fiscal 1996.

6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  
  As disclosed in Note 3, certain of Company's current and former
     directors are defendants in an action initiated by certain of the
     Company's shareholders.  Based upon the preliminary rulings by
     the Court and the fact that the plaintiffs alleged that their
     stock is virtually worthless, the Company believes that the
     plaintiffs elected as their remedy in this lawsuit to sell their
     shares of stock to the defendants.  The price was to be
     determined based on the value of the plaintiffs' stock in 1988.
     On October 7, 1994, the jury determined that (i) the defendants
     breached their fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach diminished
     the value of the plaintiffs' stock.  The jury also determined the

6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, continued

    value of the plaintiffs' stock in 1988 to be $81.12 per share or
     approximately $1.48 billion.  The jury also awarded the
     plaintiffs $70 million in punitive damages against Edward J.
     Shoen, a director and officer of the Company.  The defendants
     have filed post-trial motions to (i) request a new trial
     and/or (ii) reduce the amount of consideration to be paid to the
     plaintiffs for their stock or to obtain judgment in favor of the
     defendants.  The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the
     post-trial motions and the likelihood of appeal by any party.

  Pursuant to separate indemnification agreements, the Company has
     agreed to advance litigation expenses to the defendants and has
     agreed to indemnify the defendants to the fullest extent
     permitted by law or the Company's Articles of Incorporation or
     Bylaws, for all expenses and damages, if any, incurred by the
     defendants in this proceeding, subject to certain exceptions.
     The Company has no indemnification obligation, other than to
     advance litigation expenses, until a final judgment is entered or
     a settlement is reached.  At this time, the extent of the
     Company's indemnification obligation, if any, cannot be
     reasonably estimated.  If the jury verdict in this case is
     significantly reduced, the Company believes that it can satisfy
     its indemnification obligations, if any.  The Company believes
     that it has various means of financing any such indemnification
     obligations consistent with its existing credit agreements, or,
     in the alternative, the Company may seek the waiver or amendment
     of certain of the provisions of one or more of its credit
     agreements when the Company's indemnification obligations are
     determined.  The Company believes, but there can be no assurance,
     that it can obtain such waivers or amendments.  If the jury
     verdict is not significantly reduced and any resulting judgment
     is not stayed by appeal or other proceedings, the Company may be
     unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations if valid
     indemnification claims are made.

  Through the second quarter of fiscal 1995, a subsidiary of the
     Company loaned SAC Self-Storage Corporation(SAC)a total of $32.5
     million for the purchase of self-storage properties by SAC.  Such
     properties are presently being operated by the Company pursuant
     to management agreements.  SAC is owned by Edward J. Shoen, Mark
     V. Shoen and James P. Shoen, who are all shareholders and
     directors of the Company.  The underlying notes bear interest at
     a rate of 9%, due quarterly and are secured by real property.

<PAGE> 17
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 (volume) 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 part 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.
<PAGE> 18 
          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.  
Unaffiliated 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 continued 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 $6.5 million, approximately 27%, to
$30.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1994. This compares with net
earned premiums of $23.6 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.  The ratio
of underwriting expenses to net earned premiums decreased from 1.14 in the
first quarter of 1993 to 1.02 in the first quarter of 1994.  This improvement 
is primarily attributable to improved loss experience combined with
continued rate strength in the Company's assumed reinsurance area.  Also
contributing to the improvement was the

better than expected loss ratios on the Company's general agency lines.

          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.
 
          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 $29.6 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.
<PAGE> 20
          At June 30, 1994, total notes and loans payable outstanding was $725.6
million as compared to $723.8 million at March 31, 1994 and $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
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 and 1993, 
respectively.  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 $17,619,000 at 
December 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.

          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 $725.6 million in total notes and loans payable outstanding and unutilized
lines of credit of approximately $375 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.  Approximately $509 million of the 
Company's outstanding debt was covered by such credit agreements as of 
June 30, 1994.
<PAGE> 22
          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.
          
Shareholder Litigation          

          Certain current and former members of the Company's Board of
Directors are defendants in an action initiated by certain
Stockholders of the Company.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the
defendants to the fullest extent permitted by law or the Company's
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws for all expenses and damages, if
any, incurred by the defendants in this proceeding, subject to certain
exceptions.  The extent of the Company's indemnification obligation,
if any, cannot be reasonably estimated.  The Company believes that the
plaintiffs elected that their remedy in this litigation would be the
sale of their stock to the defendants at a price determined by the
Court based on the value of their stock in 1988.  The jury has
determined that such value was $81.12 per share or approximately $1.48
billion.  The defendants have filed post-trial motions to (i) request
a new trial and/or (ii) reduce the amount of consideration to be paid
to the plaintiffs for their stock or to obtain judgement in favor of
the defendants.  The Company believes that if the jury verdict is
significantly reduced, it can satisfy its indemnification obligation,
if any, with no material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations and that various means of financing the purchase of the
plaintiffs' stock would exist, including, but not limited to, the
public sale of common stock by the Company or by certain of the
defendants.  The Company believes, but no assurance can be given, that
it can obtain any necessary waivers or amendments of any provisions of
its credit agreements to permit the Company to finance the purchase of
the plaintiffs' stock.  If the jury verdict is not significantly
reduced and any resulting judgment is not stayed by appeal or other
proceedings, the Company may be unable to satisfy its indemnification
obligation if valid indemnification claims are made, and such
obligation may have a material adverse effect on the Company's capital
expenditure plans in the future.  There can be no assurance that the
jury verdict will be significantly reduced or that the Company or the
defendants will be able to finance the purchase of the plaintiffs'
stock if the jury verdict is significantly reduced.
