                 AMERCO AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

       September 30, 1998, March 31, 1998 and September 30, 1997
                              (Unaudited)


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION
     AMERCO,  a  Nevada  corporation (the  Company),  is  the  holding
company  for  U-Haul International, Inc. (U-Haul), Amerco Real  Estate
Company  (AREC), Republic Western Insurance Company (RWIC) and  Oxford
Life Insurance Company (Oxford).

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
parent corporation, AMERCO, and its subsidiaries, substantially 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 September  30,  1998  and
1997, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes  in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the six months ended September
30,  1998  and  1997 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.
     
     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.
     
     Basic  earnings  per  common  share are  computed  based  on  the
weighted  average  number  of  shares  outstanding  for  the   period,
excluding  shares of the employee stock ownership plan that  have  not
been  committed to be released. Preferred dividends include undeclared
or  unpaid  dividends  of  the Company.  Net  income  is  reduced  for
preferred  dividends for the purpose of the calculation.  The  Company
does not have any potential common stock that was not included in  the
calculation  of diluted earnings per share because it is  antidilutive
in  the  current period.  Accordingly, basic and diluted earnings  per
share are equal.
     
     Certain   reclassifications  have  been  made  to  the  financial
statements for the six months ended September 30, 1997 to conform with
the current year's presentation.

8.    RELATED PARTIES

        During the six months ended September 30, 1998, a subsidiary held
various senior and junior notes with SAC Holding Corporation and its
subsidiaries (SAC Holdings).  The voting common stock of SAC Holdings is held
by Mark V. Shoen, a major stockholder of the Company.
     
        The Company's subsidiary received interest payments of $4,167,000
from SAC Holdings during the six months ended September 30, 1998.
     
        The Company currently manages  the  properties  owned  by  SAC
Holdings  pursuant to a management agreement, under which the  Company
receives  a management fee equal to 6% of the gross receipts from  the
properties.  The Company received management fees of $1,074,000 during
the   six  months  ended  September  30,  1998.   The  management  fee
percentage  is  consistent with the fees received by the  Company  for
other properties managed by the Company.

        As of September 30, 1998, a subsidiary of the Company funded the
purchase of eleven properties by SAC Holdings for approximately $6,708,000.


9.    NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

        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.  The
Company is currently reviewing its implementation procedures.
     
     In  June  1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board  issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting  for
Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities".   This  statement
standardizes  the accounting for derivative instruments by  requiring
that an entity recognize those items as assets or liabilities in  the
statement  of financial position and measure them at fair value.   It
also provides for matching the timing of gain or loss recognition  on
the hedging instrument with the recognition of (a) the changes in the
fair  value  of hedged asset or liability attributable to the  hedged
risk or (b) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction.
This  statement becomes effective for fiscal periods beginning  after
June  15,  1999.  The Company is evaluating the effect this statement
will have on its financial reporting and disclosures and when it will
adopt the statement.
     
     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.

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

GENERAL
     Information  on  industry segments is incorporated  by  reference
from  "Item 1.  Financial Statements - Notes 1, 3 and 10 of  Notes  to
Consolidated Financial Statements".  The notes discuss the  principles
of  consolidation, summarized consolidated financial  information  and
industry  segment  and  geographical  area  data,  respectively.    In
consolidation,  all  intersegment  premiums  are  eliminated  and  the
benefits, losses and expenses are retained by the insurance companies.
     

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Moving and Storage Operations
     Revenues consist of rental revenues and net sales.
     
     Total rental revenues increased by $27.6 million, 4.8%, to $598.9
million during the first six months of fiscal 1999.  Net revenues from
the  rental  of  moving related equipment increased by  $24.8  million
primarily  due to an increase in truck rental revenue.  The growth  in
truck  rental revenue reflects higher utilization, increased inventory
levels and improved in-town utilization.
     
     Net  sales  revenues  were $107.6 million during  the  first  six
months  of fiscal 1999, which represents a 1.9% increase, compared  to
fiscal 1998 net sales of $105.6 million.  Revenue growth from the sale
of  moving  support  items (i.e. boxes, etc.),  which  increased  6.7%
during this period, led to the improvement.
     
     Cost  of  sales was $62.9 million during the first six months  of
fiscal  1999, which represents an increase of 4.0%, compared to  $60.5
million  in  fiscal  1998.  Increased sales of moving  support  items,
combined  with  higher  material costs for the moving  support  items,
were the major contributing factor.
     
     Operating  expenses increased to $426.7 million during the  first
six months of fiscal 1999 from $404.1 million compared to fiscal 1998,
an increase of 5.6%.  Higher rental equipment maintenance expenditures
are  due  to  an  increase  in  fleet  size  and  transaction  levels.
Equipment maintenance expenditures are within the planned target range
for fiscal 1999.
     
     Lease  expense  increased to $56.5 million during the  first  six
months  of  fiscal  1999  compared to $45.5 million  in  fiscal  1998.
Additional  leasing  activity over the past nine months  reflects  the
increase.
     
     Net  depreciation  expense stayed consistent during  the  period,
$31.9  million during the first six months of fiscal 1999 compared  to
$31.4 million in fiscal 1998.  An increase in gain on sale of property
offset  by an increase in depreciation expense relating to  rental
equipment accounted for the minimal change.

Property and Casualty
     RWIC  gross  premium writings for the six months ended  June  30,
1998  were  $76.9 million as compared to $87.9 million in  1997.   The
decrease in premium writings resulted primarily from reduced insurance
transactions with U-Haul.  The rental industry share of total premiums
declined  to  41.6% in 1998 as compared to 51.4% in 1997  due  to  the
decrease   in  U-Haul  transactions.   RWIC  underwrites  professional
reinsurance  via  broker markets and premiums in this  area  increased
during  the  six  months ended June 30, 1998 to 35.3% of  total  gross
premiums,  from 34.4% in 1997.  RWIC's direct multiple peril  coverage
accounted  for  15.7% of total gross premiums during  the  six  months
ended  June  30,  1998,  as compared to 11.9% in  1997.   Premiums  in
selected  general  agency lines increased to a 7.4% of  gross  written
premiums  in  1998  as compared to a 2.3% in 1997.  Increased  written
premium  on  the  excess workers compensation business contributed  to
this increase.
<PAGE> 20
     Net earned premiums decreased to $65.3 million for the six months
ended  June  30,  1998,  compared with $79.0 million  for  1997.   The
premium  decrease resulted from the U-Haul Liability programs  in  the
rental  industry  market which decreased to $28.7 million  from  $45.1
million  in 1997.  An additional $0.2 million decrease is due  to  the
general agency lines program which consisted of $3.2 million and  $3.4
million  for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Direct multiple peril net earned premiums increased to $9.8 million at
June  30,  1998  compared to $7.8 million for  1997.   Assumed  treaty
reinsurance increased to $23.5 million for the six months ending  June
30, 1998 as compared to $22.7 million in 1997.

     Net  investment income was $16.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, an increase of 9.2% over 1997 net investment income  of
$15.3 million.  The increase resulted from enhanced yield provided  by
an increased investment in preferred stock.

     Underwriting  expenses incurred were $75.4 million  for  the  six
months ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of $13.1 million, or 14.8% from
1997.   The loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred decreased $13.9
million primarily due to the reduction in transactions with U-Haul and
corresponds  to the decrease in liabilities for unpaid claims  due  to
estimated  future  losses  for current and prior  policies  for  those
transactions.   All  other  underwriting  expenses  increased  in  the
aggregate by $0.8 million.

     RWIC  completed the six months ending June 30, 1998  with  income
before  tax  expense of $6.5 million as compared to $5.8  million  for
1997.   This  represents an increase of $0.7 million,  or  12.1%  over
1997.   The  increase  resulted primarily from decreased  underwriting
expenses and increased realized gains.

Life Insurance
     Total  premiums  from  Oxford  and its  subsidiaries  were  $36.3
million  for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of  $23.6
million  over  1997.   These  increases  are  primarily  due  to   the
acquisition  of North American Insurance Company (NAI) and  Safe  Mate
Life Insurance Company (SML).

     Premiums  from  Oxford's  reinsurance lines  before  intercompany
eliminations  were  $11.2 million for the six months  ended  June  30,
1998, an increase of $2.5 million or approximately 28.7% over 1997 and
accounted for 30.9% of Oxford's premiums in 1998.  These premiums  are
primarily  from  term  life insurance, credit life  and  accident  and
health  insurance, and deferred annuity contracts that  have  matured.
Increases   in  premiums  are  primarily  from  new  credit  insurance
reinsurance contracts.

     Premiums   from   Oxford's  direct  lines   before   intercompany
eliminations were $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
an  increase  of  $254 thousand or 6.3% from 1997.  This  increase  in
direct  premium  is primarily attributable to writing  of  new  Single
Premium  Whole  Life  policies.  Oxford's direct business  related  to
group  life and disability coverage issued to employees of the Company
for  the  six  months ended June 30, 1998 accounted for  approximately
3.4%  of  premiums.   Other direct lines, including  credit  life  and
health business, accounted for approximately 8.3% of Oxford's premiums
in  1998.  Premiums from Oxford's subsidiaries, NAI and SML were $20.4
million  and accounted for 56.3% of premiums for the six months  ended
June 30, 1998.

     Net  investment income before intercompany eliminations was  $9.4
million  and $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30,  1998  and
1997,  respectively.   This increase is due to  a  larger  asset  base
resulting from the acquisition of NAI and SML.

     Benefits  and expenses incurred were $41.2 million  for  the  six
months ended June 30, 1998.  Oxford's benefits and expenses were $22.1
million,  an  increase of 25.6% over 1997. This increase is  primarily
due  to increases in the amortization of policy acquisition costs  for
new  credit  insurance  policies.  Benefits and  expenses  related  to
Oxford's subsidiaries were $19.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998.
     
     Operating  profit before tax and before intercompany eliminations
increased  by  $2.8 million or approximately 72.8%  in  1998  to  $6.8
million, primarily due to the acquisition of NAI and SML.

Interest Expense
     Net  interest expense declined to $29.8 million during the  first
six  months  of fiscal 1999, as compared to $33.6 million compared  to
fiscal  1998.   The decrease can be attributed to a reduction  in  the
average   cost  of  debt  and  a  decrease  in  average  debt   levels
outstanding.
<PAGE> 21
Extraordinary Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
     During   the   second  quarter  of  fiscal  1998,   the   Company
extinguished $76.0 million of 10.27% interest-bearing notes originally
due  in  fiscal  1999  through  fiscal  2002.   This  resulted  in  an
extraordinary loss of $4.1 million, net of tax of $2.3 million  ($0.19
per share).

     
Consolidated Group
     As  a  result of the foregoing, pretax earnings of $112.6 million
were realized during the first six months of fiscal 1999,, as compared
to  $103.2 million for fiscal 1998.  After providing for income  taxes
and  an  extraordinary  loss  from the  extinguishment  of  debt,  net
earnings  for the first six months of fiscal 1999 were $73.4  million,
as compared to $64.1 million for fiscal 1998.

QUARTERLY RESULTS
     The  following table presents unaudited quarterly results for the
ten  quarters  in  the  period beginning  April  1,  1996  and  ending
September   30,  1998.   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

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 VERSUS QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Moving and Storage Operations
     Revenues consist of rental revenue and net sales.
     
     Rental revenue increased by $11.3 million, approximately 3.7%, to
$317.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.  This reflects  a
$9.9  million  increase in revenues from the rental of moving  related
equipment  reflecting higher truck inventory levels and  improved  in-
town truck utilization.
     
     Net  sales  were  $51.3 million in the second quarter  of  fiscal
1999,  which represents an increase of 2.4% from fiscal 1998 net sales
of  $50.1  million.   Revenue growth from the sale of  moving  support
items  (i.e.  boxes,  etc.)  accounted for  the  increase  during  the
quarter.
     
     Cost  of sales was $30.2 million in the second quarter of  fiscal
1999, which represents an increase of 1.7% from $29.7 million for  the
same  period in fiscal 1998.  The increase in cost of sales  primarily
reflects  increased  material costs from the sale  of  moving  support
items which can be attributed to a higher sales level.
     
     Operating expense was relatively stable at $222.1 million for the
second  quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $220.3 million  for  fiscal
1998.
     
     Lease  expense increased to $29.6 million for the second  quarter
of  fiscal  1999 compared to $22.4 million in fiscal 1998.  Additional
leasing activity over the past nine months reflects the increase.
     
     Net  depreciation expense for the second quarter of  fiscal  1999
was  $14.3 million, as compared to $10.8 million in fiscal  1998.   An
increase  in  gain  on  sale  of property offset  by  an  increase  in
depreciation  expense relating to rental equipment accounted  for  the
change.
     

Property and Casualty
     RWIC  gross premium writings for the quarter ended June 30,  1998
were  $50.8  million  as  compared to  $54.9  million  in  1997.   The
decreased  premium writings resulted primarily from reduced  insurance
transactions with U-Haul.  The rental industry share of total premiums
declined  to 54.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 as compared  to
58.7%  for 1997.  RWIC underwrites professional reinsurance via broker
markets, and premiums in this area decreased during the second quarter
of  1998  to  27.9% of total gross premiums, from 28.8%  during  1997.
Direct  multiple peril coverage of various commercial  properties  and
businesses  accounted for 13.8% of total gross written premium  during
the  second  quarter of 1998, as compared to 11.4% in  1997.   General
agency premiums increased to 4.2% of gross written premiums during the
second quarter of 1998 as compared to 1.3% in 1997. This increase  can
be   attributed   to   decreased  rental  industry  and   professional
reinsurance  written premiums and increased writing of excess  workers
compensation.

     Net  earned  premiums decreased to $42.5 million for the  quarter
ended  June  30,  1998,  compared with $44.5 million  for  1997.   The
premium  decrease resulted from the U-Haul Liability programs  in  the
rental industry market which decreased $3.8 million from $26.8 million
for  1997.  Offsetting this decrease in net earned premiums was a $1.1
million  increase  in  the general agency and  direct  multiple  peril
business,  which consisted of $1.6 million and $4.9 million  for  June
30,  1998  and  $1.4  million and $4.0 million in 1997,  respectively.
Assumed  treaty increased to $13.0 million for the quarter ended  June
30, 1998 as compared to $12.3 million for 1997.
     
     Net investment income was $8.5 million for the quarter ended June
30,  1998, an increase of 6.3% over 1997 net investment income of $8.0
million.   The  increase resulted from enhanced yield provided  by  an
increased investment in preferred stock.

     Underwriting expenses incurred were $46.7 million for the quarter
ended  June  30, 1998, a decrease of $5.1 million, or 9.8% from  1997.
The  losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred a decrease  of  $4.7
million   resulting   primarily  from  the  reduction   in   insurance
transactions   with  U-Haul  and  corresponds  to  the   decrease   in
liabilities  for  unpaid  claims due to estimated  future  losses  for
current  and  prior policies for those transactions.  Net  commissions
decreased  $1.3 million due to decreased assumed reinsurance  deferred
acquisition  costs,  which  corresponds to the  decrease  in  unearned
premiums  compared to 1997.  All other underwriting expenses increased
in the aggregate by $0.9 million.

     RWIC completed the second quarter of 1998 with income before  tax
expense  of  $4.3  million as compared to $0.8 million  for  the  same
period  in  1997.   This represents an increase of  $3.5  million,  or
437.5%  over  1997.   The increase resulted primarily  from  decreased
underwriting expenses.
Life Insurance
     Total  premiums  from  Oxford  and its  subsidiaries  were  $20.3
million  for  the  quarter ended June 30, 1998, an increase  of  $13.5
million  compared  to 1997.  These increases are  due  to  new  Single
Premium Whole Life Writings and the acquisition of NAI and SML.

     Premiums  from  Oxford's  reinsurance lines  before  intercompany
eliminations were $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998,  a
decrease  of $700 thousand or 10.2% over 1997 and accounted for  30.0%
of  Oxford's  premiums  in the quarter ended  June  30,  1998.   These
premiums  are primarily from term life insurance and deferred  annuity
contracts that have matured.  Decreases in premiums are primarily from
these matured reinsurance agreements.
     
     Premiums   from   Oxford's  direct  lines   before   intercompany
eliminations were $2.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1998,  an
increase of $500 thousand or 25.0% compared to 1997.  This increase in
direct premium is primarily attributable to the new writings of Single
Premium  Whole  Life  policies.  Oxford's direct business  related  to
group  life and disability coverage issued to employees of the Company
accounted for 3.0% of premiums.  Other direct lines, including  credit
life  and  health business, accounted for 8.9% of Oxford's premium  in
the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  Premiums from Oxford's subsidiaries,
NAI  and  SML, were $11.7 million and accounted for 57.8% of  premiums
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.
     
     Net  investment income before intercompany eliminations was  $5.0
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 and $4.4 million for 1997.
     
     Benefits and expenses incurred were $23.7 million for the quarter
ended  June  30,  1998.   Oxford's benefits and  expenses  were  $12.2
million,  an  increase of 32.6% compared to 1997.   This  increase  is
primarily  due to increases in the amortization of policy  acquisition
costs.   Benefits  and expenses related to Oxford's subsidiaries  were
$11.5 million.
     
     Operating   profit  before  tax  and  intercompany   eliminations
increased  by  $1.1 million, or 57.9%, in the quarter ended  June  30,
1998 to $3.0 million, primarily due to the acquisition of NAI.

Interest Expense, net
     Net  interest expense was $14.7 million in the second quarter  of
fiscal  1999  versus  $16.2 million for 1997.   The  decrease  can  be
attributed  to  a  decrease in average debt levels outstanding  and  a
reduction in the average cost of debt.

Extraordinary Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
     During   the   second  quarter  of  fiscal  1998,   the   Company
extinguished $76.0 million of 10.27% interest-bearing notes originally
due  in  fiscal  1999  through  fiscal  2002.   This  resulted  in  an
extraordinary loss of $4.1 million, net of tax of $2.3 million  ($0.19
per share).
     
Consolidated Group
     As  a  result of the foregoing, pretax earnings of $65.3  million
were realized during the second quarter of fiscal 1999, as compared to
$59.1  million for fiscal 1998.  After providing for income taxes  and
extraordinary losses from the extinguishment of debt, net earnings for
the  second quarter of fiscal 1999 were $42.2 million, as compared  to
$34.9 million for fiscal 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Moving and Storage Operations
     To  meet the needs of its customers, U-Haul must maintain a large
inventory  of  fixed asset rental items.  At September 30,  1998,  net
property, plant and equipment represented approximately 66.9% of total
U-Haul assets and approximately 43.9% of consolidated assets.  In  the
second  quarter  of  fiscal  1999, capital  expenditures  were  $190.0
million,  as  compared to $284.0 million for fiscal  1998,  reflecting
expansion  of the rental truck fleet.  These acquisitions were  funded
with internally generated funds from operations and lease financings.
     
     Cash  flows provided by operating activities were $100.1  million
for the first six months of fiscal 1999, as compared to $106.9 million
in  fiscal 1998.  An increase in receivables was a contributing factor
of the decrease.
     
Property and Casualty
     Cash  flows  provided (used) by operating activities were  $(8.8)
million  and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30,  1998  and
1997, respectively.  The change resulted primarily from increased paid
losses recoverable, decreased loss and expense reserves, and a smaller
unearned premium increase compared to 1997.  Offsetting were increases
in accounts receivable, due from affiliates and other liabilities.

      RWIC's  cash  and  cash  equivalents and  short-term  investment
portfolio  were  $2.9 million and $5.5 million at June  30,  1998  and
1997,  respectively.  This balance reflects funds in  transition  from
maturity  proceeds  to long-term investments.  This  level  of  liquid
assets, combined with budgeted cash flow, is adequate to meet periodic
needs.   Capital  and operating budgets allow RWIC  to  schedule  cash
needs in accordance with investment and underwriting proceeds.

      RWIC  maintains  a diversified securities investment  portfolio,
primarily in bonds, at varying maturity levels with 94.6% of the fixed-
income  securities  consisting of investment  grade  securities.   The
maturity  distribution is designed to provide sufficient liquidity  to
meet future cash needs.  Current liquidity remains strong with current
invested assets equal to 118.4% of total liabilities.

      Stockholder's equity increased $3.0 million from $196.6  million
at  June  30, 1997 to $199.6 at June 30, 1998.  RWIC considers current
shareholder'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.

Life Insurance
      Oxford's primary sources of cash are premiums, deferred  annuity
sales  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 flows provided by operating activities were $2.4 million and
$14.5  million  for  the  six months ended June  30,  1998  and  1997,
respectively.  Cash flows provided (used) by financing activities were
$7.1  million  and $(17.6) million for the six months ended  June  30,
1998  and 1997, respectively.  Cash flows from deferred annuity  sales
are a component of financing activities and result in 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  June 30, 1998 and 1997, short-term  investments
amounted  to $33.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively.  Management
believes that the overall sources of liquidity will continue  to  meet
foreseeable cash needs.

     Stockholder's equity of Oxford increased to $89.6 million in 1998
from  $77.8  million in 1997 primarily as a result  of  earnings  from
operations.
<PAGE> 26
      Applicable laws and regulations of the State of Arizona  require
the  Company's insurance subsidiaries to maintain minimum capital  and
surplus  determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices.
With respect to Oxford, the amount is $0.6 million.  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 regulatory approval.  Statutory
surplus  which  can  be  distributed as dividends  without  regulatory
approval  is  zero  at  June  30, 1998.  These  restrictions  are  not
expected  to  have  a material adverse effect on the  ability  of  the
Company to meet its cash obligations.

Consolidated Group
     During  each of the fiscal years ending March 31, 1999, 2000  and
2001,   U-Haul  estimates  gross  capital  expenditures  will  average
approximately $325 million primarily reflecting rental fleet rotation.
This  level  of  capital expenditures, combined  with  an  average  of
approximately  $30-$115  million in annual long-term  debt  maturities
during this same period, are expected to create annual average funding
needs of approximately $325-$375 million.  Management estimates that U-
Haul  will  fund 100% of these requirements with internally  generated
funds,  including  proceeds from the disposition of older  trucks  and
other asset sales.

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 September 30, 1998,  the  Company  had
$998.0  million  in  total  notes and loans  payable  outstanding,  as
compared with $1,025.3 million at March 31, 1998, and $1,059.0 million
at  September  30,  1997.  Unutilized committed lines  of  credit  are
$225.0 million at September 30, 1998.
     
     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 September 30, 1998, the  Company  was  in
compliance with these covenants.
     
     The  Company  is  further restricted in the issuance  of  certain
types  of  preferred  stock.  The Company is prohibited  from  issuing
shares  of  preferred stock that provide for any mandatory redemption,
sinking  fund  payment  or mandatory prepayment,  or  that  allow  the
holders  thereof to require the Company or a subsidiary of the Company
to  repurchase such preferred stock at the option of such  holders  or
upon the occurrence of any event or events without the consent of  its
lenders.

     
Year 2000 Disclosure
     The  Company  is and has been working since 1997 to identify  and
evaluate  the changes necessary to its existing computerized  business
systems to make these systems compliant for Year 2000 processing.  The
Year 2000 processing problem is caused by currently installed computer
systems  and software products, including several used by the Company,
being  coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code  field.
Beginning in the year 2000, these date code fields will need to accept
four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century
dates.
     
     The  Company's date critical functions related to the  Year  2000
and  beyond,  such  as  rental transaction  processing  and  financial
systems,  may be adversely affected unless these computer systems  are
or  become  Year  2000  compliant.  The Company  has  been  replacing,
upgrading  or modifying key financial systems in the normal course  of
business.   The  Company  is  utilizing  both  internal  and  external
resources  to  identify, correct, reprogram and test its  systems  for
Year 2000 compliance.  The Company has completed the assessment phase.
The  Company's  internal information technology  conversion  phase  is
underway  and  on  schedule  with  the  testing  phase  scheduled  for
completion  by  fiscal year end.  In particular, the  Company  has  an
outside   consulting  firm  on-site  currently  making  the  necessary
modifications to existing systems.
     
     The  Company  is  also  reviewing its non-information  technology
items  for  Year 2000 compliance, such as rental vehicles and  storage
facilities security systems.
     
     The Company expects to be fully Year 2000 compliant by March 1999
at an estimated cost of approximately $2.0 million, of which $1.0 million
has been incurred through September 30, 1998.  Although the Company believes
it will achieve compliance on a timely basis and does not anticipate incurring
material costs beyond the estimated $2.0 million, no assurance can be given
<PAGE> 27 
that the Company's computer systems will be Year 2000 compliant by March 1999
or otherwise in a timely manner or that the Company will not incur significant
additional costs pursuing Year 2000 compliance.  If the appropriate
modifications are not made, or are not timely, the Year 2000 problem may have
a material adverse  effect on the Company.  Furthermore, even if the Company's
systems  will  be Year 2000 compliant, there can be no  assurance  the Company
will not be adversely affected by the failure of  others  to become  Year 2000
compliant.  For example, the Company may be affected by, among other things,
the failure of inventory suppliers, credit card processors, security companies
or other vendors and service providers to become Year 2000 compliant.
The Company is communicating with its major business partners to determine the
efforts being made on their part for compliance.  Critical vendors with
electronic data interchange will be scheduled for testing during the Company's
fourth quarter, with other vendor testing to be scheduled during the remainder
of the calendar year 1999.  The Company is in the process of developing a
contingency plan to be used, if in the most reasonably likely worst case
scenario, a business partner is not Year 2000 compliant.  It is anticipated
that the contingency plan will be completed by fiscal year end.
     
Despite the Company's efforts to date, there can be no assurance that the
Year 2000 problem will not have a material adverse effect on the Company
in the future.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     As  disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended March
31, 1998, a judgment was entered on February 21, 1995 in the action in
the  Superior Court of the State of Arizona, Maricopa County, entitled
Samuel W. Shoen, M.D. et al. v. Edward J. Shoen, et al., No. CV 88-20139

(the "Shoen Litigation") against Edward J. Shoen in the amount of
$7.0 million as punitive damages.  On July 15, 1998, Edward J. Shoen
filed  an  appeal  with the United States  Supreme  Court  with
respect  to  the award of punitive damages.  On October 5,  1998,  the
punitive  damage award in the Shoen Litigation (which was subsequently
reduced  by partial settlement to $6.0 million) became final when  the
United States Supreme Court denied certiorari.
