                 AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

        December 31, 1996, March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995
                              (Unaudited)


1.   PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
     
     AMERCO,  a  Nevada  corporation (the  Company),  is  the  holding
company  for U-Haul International, Inc. (U-Haul), Ponderosa  Holdings,
Inc. (Ponderosa), and Amerco Real Estate Company (AREC).

     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 have been eliminated.
     
     The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and  the  related  consolidated statements  of  earnings,  changes  in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the nine months ended December
31,  1996  and  1995 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   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
significantly  affect consolidated financial position  or  results  of
operations for the financial statements presented herein.
     
     Based  on an in-depth market analysis, the Company increased  the
estimated salvage value of certain rental trucks during the third  and
fourth  quarters of fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.  The  effect  of
the change increased net income for the nine months ended December 31,
1995 by $21,959,000 ($0.60 per share).

     The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted  by
Form  10-Q  and  do not contain certain information  included  in  the
Company's annual financial statements and notes.
     
     Certain   reclassifications  have  been  made  to  the  financial
statements for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 to conform with
the current year's presentation.

6.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings  per  share are computed based on the  weighted  average
number  of  shares  outstanding for the nine  month  and  three  month
periods,  excluding shares of the employee stock ownership  plan  that
have  not  been committed to be released.  Net income is  reduced  for
preferred dividends for purposes of the calculation.
     
     The  following table reflects the calculation of the earnings per
share for the nine months as if the treasury acquisitions disclosed in
Note  5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements had taken  place
as of the beginning of the year (in thousands except per share data):

7.   CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS, continued

     In  the normal course of business, the Company is a defendant in
a number of suits and claims.  The Company is also a party to several
administrative  proceedings arising from state and  local  provisions
that regulate the removal and/or clean-up of underground fuel storage
tanks.   It  is  the opinion of management that none of  such  suits,
claims, or proceedings involving the Company, individually or in  the
aggregate are expected to result in a material loss.

     The  (increase) decrease in receivables, inventories and accounts
payable  and accrued liabilities net of other operating and  investing
activities follows:

     Interest paid in cash amounted to $55,631,000 and $53,361,000 for
the nine months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.



9.   RELATED PARTIES
     
     During  the nine months ended December 31, 1996, a subsidiary  of
the  Company  received  principal payments  of  $84,001,000,  interest
payments  of $4,090,000 and management fees of $1,112,000  from  Three
SAC  Self-Storage Corporation (Three SAC). Three SAC's  voting  common
stock  is owned by SAC Holding Corporation (SAC Holding) and the  non-
voting preferred stock is owned by SAC Non-Business Trust.  The voting
common  stock  of  SAC  Holding is held by  Mark  V.  Shoen,  a  major
stockholder  and  officer of the Company.  Three  SAC  properties  are
currently  managed by the Company pursuant to a management  agreement,
under  which the Company receives a management fee equal to 6% of  the
gross receipts from the properties.  The management fee percentage  is
consistent  with the fee received by the Company for other  properties
managed by the Company.
     
     On  June  27,  1996, Three SAC senior notes with a  principal  of
$86,000,000 were sold to an outside party.

     As  of December 31, 1996, a subsidiary of the Company funded  the
purchase of twenty-six properties, with one additional property funded
subsequent  to  the quarter end, by Four SAC Self-Storage  Corporation
(Four  SAC) for an amount of approximately $26,290,000.  Four  SAC  is
owned  by SAC Holding. The voting common stock of SAC Holding is  held
by  Mark  V.  Shoen, a major stockholder and officer of  the  Company.
Four  SAC  acquired eight of the properties from a subsidiary  of  the
Company  at  a purchase price equal to the Company's acquisition  cost
plus capitalized costs.  Such properties are currently managed by  the
Company  for which the Company will receive a management fee equal  to
6%  of  the  gross receipts from the properties.  The  management  fee
percentage  is  consistent with the fee received by  the  Company  for
other properties managed by the Company.  During the nine months ended
December  31,  1996,  a subsidiary of the Company received  management
fees of $105,000 from Four SAC.

10.   NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     On  April  1,  1996, the Company adopted Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121 - Accounting for the Impairment of  Long-
Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.   Effective
for  fiscal  years  beginning after December  15,  1995  the  standard
establishes  accounting  standards for the  impairment  of  long-lived
assets,  certain  identifiable intangibles, and  goodwill  related  to
those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable  intangibles to be disposed of.   The  adoption  of  this
statement  had  no  impact on the financial condition  or  results  of
operations of the Company.
     
     On  April  1, 1995, the Company implemented Statement of Position
93-7,  "Reporting  on  Advertising Costs", 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.  Upon implementation,  the  Company
recognized   additional   advertising  expense   of   $8,647,000   for
advertising costs not qualifying as direct-response.  The adoption had
the  effect of reducing net income by $5,474,000 ($0.15 per share) for
the nine months ended December 31, 1995.
  
     Other pronouncements issued by the Financial Standards Board with
future  effective dates are either not applicable or not  material  to
the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
     
     
11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On  February  4,  1997, the Company declared a cash  dividend  of
$3,241,000  ($0.531250 per share) to Series A 8 1/2%  Preferred  Stock
shareholders of record as of February 14, 1997.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The following table shows industry segment data from the Company's
three  industry  segments:   rental  operations,  life  insurance   and
property and casualty insurance, for the nine months ended December 31,
1996  and  1995.   Rental operations is composed of the  operations  of
U-Haul  and Amerco Real Estate Company.  Life insurance is composed  of
the operations of Oxford Life Insurance Company (Oxford).  Property and
casualty  insurance is composed of the operations of  Republic  Western
Insurance  Company  (RWIC).  The Company's results of  operations  have
historically  fluctuated from quarter to quarter.  In  particular,  the
Company's  U-Haul  rental operations are seasonal  and  proportionately
more  of the Company's revenues and net earnings are generated  in  the
first and second quarters each fiscal year (April through September).

<PAGE> 20
NINE  MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 VERSUS NINE MONTHS ENDED  DECEMBER
31, 1995

U-Haul
     U-Haul revenues consist of (i) total rental and other revenue  and
(ii)  net  sales.   Total rental and other revenue increased  by  $59.3
million,  approximately 8.3%, to $774.4 million during the nine  months
ended  December  31,  1996. The increase reflects higher  net  revenues
from   the   rental  of  moving  related  equipment  and   self-storage
facilities which increased in the aggregate by $37.9 million  over  the
comparable  period  in  fiscal 1996.  Moving  related  rental  revenues
benefited  from  increased  truck  rental  revenues  due  to   improved
utilization (volume), an increase in the fleet size and higher  average
dollars  per transaction (pricing).  Revenues from the rental of  self-
storage  facilities  were positively impacted  by  additional  rentable
square  footage,  and  an  increase in  management  fees  from  storage
facilities  managed  for  others.   Other  revenue  increased  in   the
aggregate  by  $21.4 million.  Contributing to the  increase  in  other
revenues  was an increase in net gains on the sale of real and personal
property of $9.2 million over the comparable period for fiscal 1996.
     
     Net  sales  revenues were $141.7 million during  the  nine  months
ended  December 31, 1996, which represents an increase of approximately
3.7%  from  $136.7 million for the comparable period  in  fiscal  1996.
Revenue  growth  from  the sale of moving support  items,  hitches  and
propane  resulted  in a $6.8 million increase during the  nine  months,
which  was  partially offset by a decrease in gasoline sales consistent
with  the Company's ongoing efforts to remove underground storage tanks
and gradually discontinue gasoline sales.
     
     Cost  of  sales  was  $84.3  million for  the  nine  months  ended
December  31, 1996, which represents an increase of approximately  2.9%
from  $81.9  million  for the comparable period in  fiscal  1996.   The
increase  in cost of sales reflects a $3.0 million increase in material
costs  from the sale of moving support items, hitches and propane which
can be primarily attributed to higher sales levels.
     
     Operating  expenses  increased to  $605.9  million  for  the  nine
months  ended December 31, 1996 from $540.6 million for the  comparable
period  in fiscal 1996, an increase of approximately 12.1%. The  change
from  the  prior  year  reflects a $24.2  million  increase  in  rental
equipment   maintenance  costs  which  reflects  truck   rental   fleet
expansion  and  transactional  growth,  a  $19.3  million  increase  in
personnel  costs  due  to  the increase in  rental,  sales  and  repair
activity,  and  a  $10.6 million increase in lease expense  for  rental
equipment.   All  other operating expense categories increased  in  the
aggregate by $11.2 million compared to the prior year.
     
     Advertising  expense for the nine months ended December  31,  1996
declined  by  $7.0 million to $24.8 million from $31.8 million  in  the
comparable  period of the prior year.  The decrease primarily  reflects
a  one-time  expense of $8.7 million recognized during the nine  months
ended  December 31, 1995, due to the adoption of Statement of  Position
93-7  which  requires  immediate recognition of advertising  costs  not
qualifying as direct-response.
     
     Depreciation expense for the nine months ended December  31,  1996
declined  to  $57.6  million, as compared to $79.0 million  during  the
comparable  period  of  the prior year.  During the  third  and  fourth
quarters  of  fiscal  1996,  based on  the  Company's  in-depth  market
analysis, the Company increased the estimated salvage value of  certain
rental trucks.


Oxford - Life Insurance
     Premiums  from  Oxford's  reinsurance  lines  before  intercompany
eliminations  were  $15.6 million for the nine months  ended  September
30,  1996, or 73.4% of total premiums for that period.  This represents
an  increase of $1.8 million over the comparable period in 1995  or  an
increase  of 13.0%.  Reinsurance premiums are primarily from term  life
insurance,  deferred  annuity contracts that have matured,  and  credit
insurance  business.  Increases  in premiums  are  primarily  from  the
anticipated  increase in annuitizations as a result of the maturing  of
deferred  annuities and from additional production in the  credit  life
and credit accident and health business.
     
     Premiums   from   Oxford's   direct  lines   before   intercompany
eliminations were $5.7 million for the nine months ended September  30,
1996,  an  increase of $0.2 million.  Oxford's direct business  related
to  group  life  and  disability coverage issued to  employees  of  the
Company  for  the  nine months ended September 30, 1996  accounted  for
approximately  7.7%  of premiums.  Other direct  lines,  including  the
credit  insurance  business,  accounted  for  approximately  18.9%   of
Oxford's premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
<PAGE> 21     
     Net  investment income before intercompany eliminations was  $13.9
million  and  $12.1 million for the nine month periods ended  September
30,  1996  and 1995, respectively.  This increase is primarily  due  to
increases  in  deposit funds from additional production and  increasing
margins on the interest sensitive business.
     
     Other  income is comprised of gains(losses) on the disposition  of
investments  and income on the surrender of deferred annuity  products.
Gains(losses)  on  the disposition of investments were  ($0.1)  million
and  $4.4  million  for the nine months ended September  30,  1996  and
1995,  respectively.   Oxford  had $1.9 million  and  $1.5  million  of
surrender charge income for the nine month periods ended September  30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.
     
     Benefits  and  expenses incurred were $28.1 million for  the  nine
months  ended  September  30,  1996, an increase  of  2.9%  from  1995.
Comparable benefits and expenses incurred for 1995 were $27.3  million.
This  increase  is  primarily  due to the  increase  in  annuitizations
discussed above.
     
     Operating  profit  before intercompany eliminations  decreased  by
$1.3  million,  or  approximately  12.9%,  in  1996  to  $8.7  million,
primarily  due  to  a  decrease in gains on the  disposition  of  fixed
maturity investments.
     

RWIC - Property and Casualty
     RWIC  gross  premium writings for the nine months ended  September
30,  1996 were $133.0 million as compared to $138.7 million in the nine
months  ended  September 30, 1995. This represents a decrease  of  $5.7
million,  or  4.1%.   As  in prior years, the  rental  industry  market
accounts  for  a  significant  share of total  premiums,  approximately
48.2%  and 44.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and  1995,
respectively.   These  writings include U-Haul  customers,  fleetowners
and  U-Haul  as  well  as other rental industry insureds  with  similar
characteristics.  RWIC continues underwriting professional  reinsurance
via  broker markets.  Premiums in this area decreased during  the  nine
months  ended  September 30, 1996 to $37.1 million, or 27.9%  of  total
gross  premiums,  from  comparable 1995 figures of  $42.7  million,  or
30.8%  of total premiums.  Premium writings in selected general  agency
lines  are  expected to remain consistent with prior  years.   Premiums
from  selected  general agency lines accounted  for  14.3%  of  written
premiums  for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as  compared  to
16.1%  in the comparable period of 1995.  This decrease is attributable
to  the  withdrawal from a regional commercial multiple  peril  market.
RWIC   continued  its  direct  multiple  peril  coverage   of   various
commercial   properties  and  businesses  in  1996.    These   premiums
accounted for 9.5% of the total gross written premium during  the  nine
months  ended  September 30, 1996, as compared to  8.0%  for  the  nine
months ended September 30, 1995.
     
     Net  earned  premiums increased $1.3 million, or 1.2%,  to  $108.4
million  for  the nine months ended September 30, 1996,  compared  with
premiums  of  $107.1  million for the nine months ended  September  30,
1995.   The  premium  increase was primarily  the  result  of  improved
policy processing.
     
     Underwriting  expenses incurred were $119.2 million for  the  nine
months  ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $5.3 million, or  4.7%
over   the   nine   months  ended  September  30,   1995.    Comparable
underwriting expenses incurred for the nine months of 1995 were  $113.9
million.   The  increase is attributed to increased commission  expense
offset  by  decreased loss and loss adjusting expenses.  The  increased
commission  expense  resulted from a smaller adjustment  to  realize  a
margin  on  a canceled general agency program, combined with  increased
acquisition  expense  on  assumed  treaty  reinsurance  business.   The
reduction  in loss and loss adjusting expenses occurred in  the  rental
industry liability and assumed treaty reinsurance lines.
     
     Net  investment income was $22.7 million for the nine months ended
September  30,  1996, an increase of 2.7% from the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995 net investment income of $22.1 million.
     
     RWIC  completed  the  nine months ended September  30,  1996  with
income  before  tax  expense  of $12.9 million  as  compared  to  $16.3
million  for  the  comparable period ended September  30,  1995.   This
represents  a decrease of $3.4 million, or 20.9% from the  nine  months
ended  September 30, 1995.  Increased premium earnings were  offset  by
increased commission expense to produce this change.

Interest Expense
     Interest  expense increased by $2.0 million to $54.7  million  for
the  nine months ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $52.7  million
for  the  nine  months ended December 31, 1995.  The increase  resulted
from higher average debt levels during the current period.

Extraordinary Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
     During   the   second   quarter  of  fiscal  1997,   the   Company
extinguished  debt  of  approximately  $76.3  million  by   irrevocably
placing  cash into a trust of U.S. Treasury securities to  be  used  to
satisfy  scheduled  payments of principal and  interest.   The  Company
also  extinguished $86.2 million of its long-term notes originally  due
in  fiscal 1997 through fiscal 1999. These transactions resulted in  an
extraordinary  loss of $2.3 million, net of tax of $1.4 million  ($0.09
per share).

Consolidated Group
     As  a  result of the foregoing, pretax earnings of $110.6  million
were  realized  during  the nine months ended  December  31,  1996,  as
compared  to  $92.3 million for the comparable period in  1995.   After
providing   for   income   taxes  and   extraordinary   loss   on   the
extinguishment  of  debt,  net  earnings  for  the  nine  months  ended
December 31, 1996 were $67.9 million, as compared to $58.2 million  for
the comparable period of the prior year.

QUARTERLY RESULTS

     The  following table presents unaudited quarterly results for  the
eleven  quarters  in  the period beginning April  1,  1994  and  ending
December   31,   1996.   The  Company  believes  that   all   necessary
adjustments have been included in the amounts stated below  to  present
fairly,   and   in   accordance  with  generally  accepted   accounting
principles,   the   selected  quarterly  information   when   read   in
conjunction  with  the  consolidated financial statements  incorporated
herein  by  reference.  The  Company's  U-Haul  rental  operations  are
seasonal  and  proportionally more of the Company's  revenues  and  net
earnings  from its U-Haul rental operations are generated in the  first
and  second  quarters  of each fiscal year (April  through  September).
The  operating  results for the periods presented are  not  necessarily
indicative  of results for any future period (in thousands  except  for
per share data).

QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 VERSUS QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

U-Haul
     U-Haul revenues consist of (i) total rental and other revenue  and
(ii)  net  sales.   Total rental and other revenue  increased  by  $5.2
million, approximately 2.4%, to $220.2 million in the third quarter  of
fiscal  1997.   The increase reflects a $10.4 million increase  in  net
revenues  from the rental of moving related equipment and  self-storage
facilities.   
     
     Net  sales  revenues were $34.5 million in the  third  quarter  of
fiscal  1997, which represents an increase of approximately  1.6%  from
$34.0  million for the comparable period in fiscal 1996. Revenue growth
from  the sale of moving support items (i.e. boxes, etc.), hitches  and
propane  resulted in a $1.8 million increase during the  quarter  which
was  offset by a decrease in outside repair income  and  a
decrease in gasoline sales.
     
     Cost  of  sales was $21.7 million in the third quarter  of  fiscal
1997,  which  represents a decrease of approximately  9.4%  from  $23.9
million  for  the comparable period in fiscal 1996.  This  decrease  in
cost  of  sales reflects a reduction in inventory reserves based on 
actual physical counts taken which is offset  by  an  increase in 
material costs from  the  sale  of propane,  hitches  and  moving support 
items  which can  be  primarily attributed to higher sales levels.
     
     Operating  expenses  increased to  $207.9  million  in  the  third
quarter  of  fiscal 1997 from $194.2 million in the  third  quarter  of
fiscal  1996, an increase of approximately 7.1%.  The change  from  the
prior  year  primarily is attributable to a $5.6  million  increase  in
personnel  costs and  a  $5.2 million increase in lease expense  due  to 
new leases initiated in the past nine months.
     
     Depreciation  expense  for  the  quarter  was  $18.9  million,  as
compared  to  $2.8 million during the comparable period  of  the  prior
year.   During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1996,  based  on
the  Company's  in-depth  market analysis, the  Company  increased  the
estimated salvage value of certain rental trucks.


Oxford - Life Insurance
     Premiums  from  Oxford's  reinsurance  lines  before  intercompany
eliminations  were  $5.0 million for the quarter  ended  September  30,
1996,  or 72.0% of total premiums for that period.  This represents  an
increase  of  $0.1 million over the comparable period  in  1995  or  an
increase  of 2.0%.  Reinsurance premiums are primarily from  term  life
insurance,  deferred  annuity contracts that have matured,  and  credit
insurance  business.   Increases in premiums  are  primarily  from  the
anticipated  increase in annuitizations as a result of the maturing  of
deferred  annuities and from additional production in the  credit  life
and credit accident and health business.
     
     Premiums   from   Oxford's   direct  lines   before   intercompany
eliminations  were  $2.0 million for the quarter  ended  September  30,
1996,  a increase of $0.5 million.  This increase in direct premium  is
primarily  attributable  to  the credit insurance  business.   Oxford's
direct  business  related to group life and disability coverage  issued
to  employees of the Company for the quarter ended September  30,  1996
accounted  for  approximately 8.2% of premiums.   Other  direct  lines,
including  the  credit insurance business, accounted for  approximately
19.8% of Oxford's premiums for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.
<PAGE> 25     
     Net  investment income before intercompany eliminations  was  $4.5
million and $4.0 million for the quarters ended September 30, 1996  and
1995,  respectively.  This increase is primarily due  to  increases  in
deposit funds from additional production and increasing margins on  the
interest sensitive business.
     
     Other  income  is  comprised  of  gains  on  the  disposition   of
investments  and income on the surrender of deferred annuity  products.
Gains  on  the disposition of  investments were $0.2 million  and  $1.4
million   for  the  quarters  ended  September  30,  1996   and   1995,
respectively.   Oxford had $0.7 million and $0.5 million  of  surrender
charge  income  for  the quarters ended September 30,  1996  and  1995,
respectively.
     
     Benefits  and  expenses  incurred  were  $9.2  million  for   both
quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.
     
     Operating  profit  before  intercompany eliminations  remained  at
$3.2 for both quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

RWIC - Property and Casualty
     RWIC  gross  premium writings for the quarter ended September  30,
1996  were  $43.6  million as compared to $57.3 million  in  the  third
quarter   of  1995.   The  rental  industry  market  accounts   for   a
significant  share of total premiums, approximately  $23.0  million  or
52.7%  and  $27.7 million or 48.4% in the third quarters  of  1996  and
1995,   respectively.    These  writings  include   U-Haul   customers,
fleetowners  and U-Haul as well as other rental industry insureds  with
similar  characteristics.   RWIC  continues  underwriting  professional
reinsurance  via  broker  markets.  Premiums  in  this  area  decreased
during  the  third quarter of 1996 to $8.2 million, or 18.9%  of  total
gross  premiums,  from  comparable 1995 figures of  $14.8  million,  or
25.9%  of total premiums.  Premium writings in selected general  agency
lines  are  expected to remain consistent with prior  years.   Premiums
from  selected general agency lines accounted for $7.0 million or 15.9%
share  of written premiums in the third quarter of 1996 as compared  to
$8.6  million  or  15.0%  share in the third  quarter  of  1995.   RWIC
continued  its  direct  multiple peril coverage of  various  commercial
properties and businesses in 1996.  These premiums accounted for  12.0%
of  total  gross  written  premium during third  quarter  of  1996,  as
compared  to  10.4% during the third quarter of 1995.  The increase  is
the result of improved policy processing.

     Net  earned  premiums  increased $0.1 million  or  0.2%  to  $43.7
million  for  the quarter ended September 30, 1996, compared  to  $43.6
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.
     
     Underwriting expenses incurred were $48.6 million for the  quarter
ended  September 30, 1996, an increase of $4.6 million, or  10.5%  over
the   quarter   ended  September  30,  1995.   Comparable  underwriting
expenses  incurred  for the third quarter of 1995 were  $44.0  million.
The  increase is due to commission expense, specifically from a smaller
adjustment  to  realize a margin on a canceled general  agency  program
and  an  increase in acquisition expense on assumed treaty  reinsurance
business.
     
     Net  investment  income  was $7.6 million for  the  quarter  ended
September  30, 1996, an increase of 11.8% over third quarter  1995  net
investment  income of $6.8 million.  The increase is  due  to  adjusted
mortgage  interest  rates  for 1995 which effectively  understated  the
quarter ending September 30, 1995 net investment income.
     
     RWIC  completed the third quarter of 1996 with income  before  tax
expense  of $3.2 million as compared to $6.8 million for the comparable
period  ended September 30, 1995.  This represents a decrease  of  $3.6
million,  or  52.9%  from 1995.  The decrease resulted  from  increased
commission expense, partially offset by increased investment income.
     
Interest Expense
     Interest  expense increased by $2.3 million to $19.4  million  for
the  quarter  ended  December 31, 1996.  An increase  in  average  debt
outstanding was primarily responsible for the increase.
<PAGE> 26

Consolidated Group
     As  a result of the foregoing, a pretax loss of $16.0 million  was
incurred   during the quarter ended December 31, 1996, as  compared  to
pretax  earnings  of $13.5 million for the comparable period  in  1995.
After  providing  for  income  taxes  and  extraordinary  loss  on  the
extinguishment  of  debt, the net loss for quarter ended  December  31,
1996 was $9.9 million, as compared to net earnings of $7.7 million  for
the comparable 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 December  31,  1996,  net
property, plant and equipment represented approximately 70.2% of  total
U-Haul  assets and approximately 46.0% of consolidated assets.   During
the  nine  months  ended December 31, 1996, capital  expenditures  were
$159.7  million, as compared to $207.5 million during the  nine  months
ended  December  31,  1995, reflecting expansion of  the  rental  truck
fleet  and real property acquisitions.  These acquisitions were  funded
with  internally  generated  funds from operations,  operating  leases,
equity placements and debt financings.
     
     Cash  flows  from  operations were $76.1 million during  the  nine
months  ended  December 31, 1996, as compared to $135.6 million  during
the  nine  months  ended  December 31, 1995.   The  decrease  of  $59.5
million  is  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  other  assets,  with
decreases  in  accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset  by  the
sale   of   mortgage  note  receivables.   Cash  flows  from  investing
activities  were  affected  by  the sale and  subsequent  leaseback  of
rental trailers for net proceeds of $97.4 million.

Oxford - 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.
Benefit  and  claim  statistics are continually  monitored  to  provide
projections of future cash requirements.
     
     Cash  provided by operating activities were $9.3 million and  $5.1
million  for  the  nine  months  ended September  30,  1996  and  1995,
respectively.  Cash flows from financing activities were $22.7  million
and  $62.1  million for the nine months ended September  30,  1996  and
1995,  respectively.  Cash flows from deferred annuity  sales  increase
investment  contract  deposits  which  are  a  component  of  financing
activities,  as well as the purchase of fixed maturities  which  are  a
component  of  investing activities.  In addition to  cash  flows  from
operating  and  financing activities, a substantial  amount  of  liquid
funds   is   available  through  Oxford's  short-term  portfolio.    At
September  30, 1996 and 1995, short-term investments amounted  to  $9.5
million and $18.0 million, respectively.  Management believes that  the
overall  sources  of liquidity will continue to meet  foreseeable  cash
needs.
     
     Stockholder's equity of Oxford decreased to $97.3 million in  1996
from  $99.6  million in 1995.  During the nine months  ended  September
30, 1996, Oxford paid dividends to Ponderosa of $3.9 million.
     
     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 $400,000.  In addition, the amount of dividends that can  be
paid  to stockholders by insurance companies domiciled in the State  of
Arizona  is  limited.   Any dividend in excess of  the  limit  requires
prior  regulatory approval.  Statutory surplus that can be  distributed
as  dividends  without prior regulatory approval is $7,080,000.   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
     Cash  flows provided (used) by operating activities were  ($19.0)
million   for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, as compared  to
$16.9 million for the comparable period in 1995.  The change is due  to
temporary increases in accounts receivable and due from affiliates.

     RWIC's  short-term  investment  portfolio  was  $4.4  million  at
September  30,  1996.    This  level of  liquid  assets  is  considered
adequate  to  meet periodic needs as well as any near  term  shortfall.
This  balance also reflects funds in transition from maturity  proceeds
to  long-term investments.  The structure of the long-term portfolio is
designed  to  match  future cash needs.  Capital and operating  budgets
allow RWIC to accurately schedule cash needs.

     RWIC maintains a diversified investment portfolio.  Approximately
96.8%  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 94.5% of total liabilities.

     Stockholder's  equity  increased  3.8%  from  $188.2  million  at
December  31,  1995  to  $195.3 million at September  30,  1996.   RWIC
considers current stockholder's equity to be adequate to support  future
growth  and absorb unforeseen risk events.  RWIC does not use  debt  or
equity  issues  to increase capital and therefore has  no  exposure  to
capital  market conditions.  RWIC paid no stockholder dividends  during
the  nine  months ended September 30, 1996, however it  did  declare  a
$6.7  million  dividend to Ponderosa, which was  paid  during  December
1996.


Consolidated Group
     At  December  31, 1996, total notes and loans payable  outstanding
was  $933.4  million as compared to $998.2 million at March  31,  1996,
and $890.6 million at December 31, 1995.
     
     During  each of the fiscal years ending March 31, 1997, 1998,  and
1999,   U-Haul  estimates  gross  capital  expenditures  will   average
approximately $290 million as a result of the expansion of  the  rental
truck   fleet  and  self-storage  operation.   This  level  of  capital
expenditures,  combined with an average of approximately  $100  million
in  annual long-term debt maturities during this comparable period, are
expected  to create annual average funding needs of approximately  $390
million.  Management estimates that U-Haul will fund approximately  75%
of  these  requirements  with  internally  generated  funds,  including
proceeds  from the disposition of older trucks and other  asset  sales.
The  remainder of the anticipated capital expenditures are expected  to
be  financed  through existing credit facilities, new debt  placements,
lease fundings and equity offerings.
     
     On  August  30,  1996, the Company issued 100,000  shares  of  its
Series   B  Preferred  Stock  with  no  par  value  for  $100  million.
Dividends are cumulative with the rate being reset quarterly  and  have
priority  as to dividends over the Company's common stock.  The  Series
B  Preferred  will be convertible, in certain events, at  the  holder's
option,  into  either shares of the Company's Series  B  Common  Stock,
$0.25  par  value  or  all of the outstanding shares  of  Picacho  Peak
Investment Co., a subsidiary of AMERCO.
     
     On  October 1, 1996, the Company paid the last portion of a  total
of  approximately  $448.1  million to  the  plaintiffs  (non-management
members  of  the Shoen family and their affiliates) in a  long-standing
legal dispute involving the Shoen family and related to control of  the
Company.  As a result, the plaintiffs were required to transfer all  of
their  18,254,976 shares of Common Stock to the Company.   The  Company
plans  to  deduct for income tax purposes approximately $324.0  million
of  the  payments  made  to  the  plaintiffs,  which  will  reduce  the
Company's  income tax liability.  While the Company believes that  such
income  tax deductions are appropriate, there can be no assurance  that
such deductions ultimately will be allowed in full.

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 December 31,  1996,  the  Company  had
$933.4  million  in  total  notes  and loans  payable  outstanding  and
unutilized committed lines of credit of approximately $487.0 million.
     
     In  May  1996,  the Company issued $175.0 million of 7.85%  Senior
Notes  Due May 15, 2003.  The Company has applied and will continue  to
apply  the  net  proceeds from the sale of the notes to  pay  down,  at
maturity, a portion of the Company's long-term debt.
     
     Pursuant  to  a  shelf registration statement, from September  13,
1996  through  December  31, 1997, the Company issued  $287,500,000  of
fixed  rate medium-term notes ranging from 6.71% to 8.04% with maturity
dates  ranging  from  1998  to 2006, and a  $25,000,000  floating  rate
medium-term  note with a maturity date of October 1997.  Subsequent  to
December 31, 1996, the Company issued $74,500,000 of fixed rate medium-
term  notes ranging from 7.23% to 8.08% with maturity dates  from  2017
to 2027.

     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 December 31, 1996,  the  Company  was  in
compliance with these covenants.
