AMERCO and consolidated entities

notes to condensed consolidatED financial statements

1. Basis of Presentation

AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (“AMERCO”), has a second fiscal quarter that ends on the 30 th of September for each year that is referenced. Our insurance company subsidiaries have a second quarter that ends on the 3 0 th 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.

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.

We sold available-for-sale securities with a fair value of $103.3 million during the first six months of fiscal 2014. The gross realized gains on these sales totaled $3.2 million. The gross rea lized losses on these sales totaled $0.9 million .

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements – (continued)


The unrealized losses of more than twelve months in the available-for-sale table are considered temporary declines. We track each investment with an unrealized loss and evaluate 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 we recognized these write-downs through earnings. There were no write downs in the second quarter or for the first six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013.

The investment portfolio primarily consists of corporate securities and U.S. governme nt securities. We believe we monitor our investments as appropriate. Our 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 tim e 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. We have the ability and intent not to sell our fixed matu rity and common stock investments for a period of time sufficient to allow us to recover our 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 mort gage 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.

Credit losses recognized in earnings for which a portion of an other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in other comprehensive income were as follows:

5 . Derivatives

We manage exposure to changes in market interest rates. Our 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 cert ain of our LIBOR indexed variable rate debt and a variable rate operating lease . The interest rate swaps effectively fix our interest payments on certain LIBOR indexed variable rate debt. We monitor our positions and the credit ratings of our counterpartie s and do not currently anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. Interest rate swap agreements are not entered into for trading purposes.

7 . Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

We lease a portion of our rental equipment and certain of our facilities under operating leases with terms that expire at various dates substantially through 201 9 . As of September 30, 2013 , we have guaranteed $ 110.1 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, we have 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. We have been leasing equipment since 1987 and ha ve experienced no material losses relating to these types of residual value guarantees.

8 . Contingencies

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 mat erials 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 cur rently 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

We are 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 our financial position and results of operations.

 

9 . Related Party Transactions

As set forth in the Audit Committee Charter and consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rules, our Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) reviews and maintains oversight over related party transactions which are required to be disclosed under the Securities and Ex change Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. Accordingly, all such related party transactions are submitted to the Audit Committee for ongoing review and oversight. Our internal processes ensure that our legal and finance departments identify and monit or 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 c onsolidated 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 third party, arm’s-length transactions.

SAC Holding Co rporation and SAC Holding II Corporation, (collectively “SAC Holdings”) were established in order to acquire and develop self-storage properties. These properties are being managed by us pursuant to management agreements. Between 1994 and 2002 , we sold rea l estate and various self-storage properties to SAC Holdings, resulting in significant cash flows to the Company.

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

We lease 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 us .

At September 30 , 201 3 , 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 su bsidiaries are substantially identical to the terms of those with our 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 $15.8 million, expenses of $ 1.3 million and cash flows of $ 29.3 million during the first six months of fi scal 201 4 . Revenues and commission expenses related to the Dealer Agreements were $ 131.1 million and $ 28.6 million, respectively during the first six months of fiscal 201 4 .

Pursuant to the variable interest entity model under ASC 810 – Consolidation (“ASC 810”), Management determined that the junior notes of SAC Holdings and Private Mini as well as the management agreements with SAC Holdings, Mercury, 4 SAC, 5 SAC, Galaxy, and Private Mini represent potential variable interests for us .  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.

amerco and consolidated subsidiaries

notes to condensed consolidated financial statements – (continued)


Management determined that they do not have a variable interest in the holding entities Mercury, SAC Holding II Cor poration, 4 SAC, 5 SAC, or Galaxy based upon management agreements which are with the individual operating entities or through the issuance of junior debt therefore, we are precluded from consolidating these entities.

We have junior debt with the holding entities SAC Holding Corporation and Private Mini which represents a variable interest in each individual entity. Though we have certain protective rights within these debt agreements, we have no present influence or control over these holding entities unl ess their protective rights become exercisable, which management considers unlikely based on their payment history. As a result, we have no basis under ASC 810 to consolidate these entities.

We do not have the power to direct the activities that most signi ficantly impact the economic performance of the individual operating entities which have management agreements with U-Haul. There are no fees or penalties disclosed in the management agreement for termination of the agreement. Through control of the holdin g 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 in dividual holding entities and the individual operating entities’ performance.  As a result, we have no basis under ASC 810 to consolidate these entities.

We have not provided financial or other support during the first six months ended September 30, 2013 t o any of these entities that we were not previously contractually required to provide. In addition, we currently have no plan to provide any financial support to any of these entities in the future. The carrying amount and classification of the assets and liabilities in our balance sheet s that relate to our variable interests in the aforementioned entities are as follows, which approximate the maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with these entities:
