1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (AMERCO), is the holding company for U-Haul International, Inc. (U-Haul), which conducts moving and storage operations; Amerco Real Estate Company (Real Estate), which conducts real estate operations; Republic Western Insurance Company (RepWest), which conducts property and casualty insurance operations; and Oxford Life Insurance Company (Oxford), which conducts life insurance operations.
SAC Holdings Corporation (SAC Holdings), a Nevada corporation, is owned by Mark V. Shoen. Mark V. Shoen is the beneficial owner of 15.6% of AMERCOs common stock and is an executive officer of U-Haul.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements presented here include the accounts of AMERCO and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and SAC Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. AMERCO has not, and has never had any, ownership interest in SAC Holdings or any of SAC Holdings subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in AMERCOs annual financial statements and notes. For a more detailed breakout of the accounts of AMERCO, refer to AMERCOs Form 10-K.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2002 and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated 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 accounts of AMERCO and SAC Holdings are consolidated due to SACs majority owner not qualifying as an independent third party to AMERCO and not maintaining a substantive residual equity capital investment, exclusive of unrealized appreciation of real estate held by SAC Holdings subsidiaries, in the SAC Holdings during the entire holding period.
The operating results and financial position of RepWest and Oxford have been consolidated on the basis of a calendar year and, accordingly, are determined on a one quarter lag for financial reporting purposes. There were no effects related to intervening events, which would materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations for the financial statements presented herein.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to conform with the current years presentation.

4. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS
During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, a subsidiary of U-Haul entered into a transaction whereby the subsidiary sold rental trucks and trailers to an unrelated third party, which were subsequently leased back. AMERCO has guaranteed $2,075,000 of residual values at June 30, 2002 for these assets at the end of the respective lease terms. Following are the lease commitments for the leases executed during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, and after quarter end which have a term of more than one year:

In the normal course of business, AMERCO is a defendant in a number of suits and claims. AMERCO 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. In our opinion, none of such suits, claims or proceedings involving AMERCO, individually, or in the aggregate, are expected to result in a material loss.
Compliance with environmental requirements of federal, state and local governments significantly affects Real Estates business operations. Among other things, these requirements regulate the discharge of materials into the water, air and land and govern the use and disposal of hazardous substances. Real Estate is aware of issues regarding hazardous substances on some of its properties. Real Estate regularly makes capital and operating expenditures to stay in compliance with environmental laws and has put in place a remedial plan at each site where it believes such a plan is necessary. Since 1988, Real Estate has managed a testing and removal program for underground storage tanks. Under this program, over 3,000 tanks have been removed at a cost of $43.7 million.
A subsidiary of U-Haul, INW Company (INW), owns one property located within two different state hazardous substance sites in the State of Washington. The sites are referred to as the Yakima Valley Spray Site and the Yakima Railroad Area. INW has been named a a potentially liable party under state law with respect to this property as it relates to both sites. As a result of the cleanup costs of approximately $5.5 to $10.0 million required by the State of Washington, INW filed for reorganization under federal bankruptcy laws in May of 2001. The potential liability to INW could be in the range of $2.0 million to $5.5 million.
Based upon the information currently available to Real Estate, compliance with the environmental laws and its share of the costs of investigation and cleanup of known hazardous waste sites are not expected to have a material adverse effect on AMERCOs financial position or operating results.

7. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations, and No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
SFAS 141 supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 (APB 16), Business Combinations. The most significant changes made by SFAS 141 are: (1) requiring that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, (2) establishing specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill, and (3) requiring unallocated negative goodwill to be written off immediately as an extraordinary gain (instead of being deferred and amortized).
SFAS 142 supercedes APB 17, Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition (i.e., the post-acquisition accounting). The provisions of SFAS 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. The most significant changes made by SFAS 142 are: (1) goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized, (2) goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level, (3) intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life will be tested for impairment at least annually, and (4) the amortization period of intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be limited to forty years.
13
SFAS No. 141 and 142 did not affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, requires recognition of the fair value of liabilities associated with the retirement of long-lived assets when a legal obligation to incur such costs arises as a result of the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset. Upon recognition of the liability, a corresponding asset is recorded at present value and accreted over the life of the asset and depreciated over the remaining life of the long-lived asset. The Statement defines a legal obligation as one that a party is required to settle as a result of an existing or enacted law, statute, ordinance, or written or oral contract or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine of promissory estoppel. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We have not yet determined the effects of adopting this Statement on our financial position or results of operations.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFASB 144 requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred. SFASB 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, are to be applied prospectively. Management has not yet determined the effects of adopting this Statement on the financial position or results of operations.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.13, and Technical Corrections. This statement eliminates the current requirement that gains and losses on debt extinguishment must be classified as extraordinary items in the income statement. Instead, such gains and losses will be classified as extraordinary items only if they are deemed to be unusual and infrequent, in accordance with the current GAAP criteria for extraordinary classification. In addition, SFAS 145 eliminates an inconsistency in lease accounting by requiring that modifications of capital leases that result in reclassification as operating leases be accounted for consistent with sale-leaseback accounting rules. The statement also contains other nonsubstantive corrections to authoritative accounting literature. The changes related to debt extinguishment will be effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, and the changes related to lease accounting will be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. Management has not yet determined the effects of adopting this Statement on the financial position or results of operations, except for the need to reclassify debt extinguishments previously reported as extraordinary.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of a companys commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. We may make additional written or oral forward-looking statements from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise. We believe such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of revenues, income or loss, estimates of capital expenditures, plans for future operations, products or services, financing needs or plans, and liquidity as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. The words believe, expect, anticipate, estimate, project and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by or underlying the forward-looking statements. Some of the important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to differ materially from our expectations are: fluctuations in our costs to maintain and update our fleet and facilities; changes in government regulations, particularly environmental regulations; our credit ratings; the availability of credit; changes in demand for our products; changes in the general domestic economy; the degree and nature of our competition; changes in accounting standards; and other factors described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The above factors, the following disclosures, as well as other statements in this report and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, could contribute to or cause such differences, or could cause AMERCOs stock price to fluctuate dramatically.
GENERAL
Information on industry segments is incorporated by reference from Notes 1, 3 and 8 of Notes to Condensed 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.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, estimates are revalued, including those related to areas that require a significant level of judgment or are otherwise subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These areas include allowances for doubtful accounts, revenue earning vehicles and buildings, self-insured liabilities, income taxes and commitments and contingencies. Our estimates are based on historical experience, observance of trends in particular areas, information and/or valuations available from outside sources and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Accounting policies are considered critical when they are significant and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. We considered the following to be critical accounting policies:
Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMERCO and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and SAC Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. AMERCO does not and has never had any equity ownership interest in SAC Holdings or any of SAC Holdings subsidiaries.
Revenue earning vehicles and buildings Depreciation is recognized in amounts expected to result in the recovery of estimated residual values upon disposal (i.e. no gains or losses). In determining the depreciation rate, we review historical disposal experience and holding periods, and trends in the market. Due to longer holding periods on trucks and the resulting increased possibility of changes in the economic environment and market conditions, these estimates are subject to a greater degree of risk.
Long-lived assets and intangible assets We review carrying value whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable through projected
17
undiscounted future cash flows. The events could include significant underperformance relative to expected, historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of using the assets, overall business strategy, significant negative industry or economic trends and an unexpected non-compliance with significant debt agreements.
Investments In determining if and when a decline in market value below amortized cost is other than temporary, we review quoted market prices, dealer quotes or discounted cash flows. Permanent declines in value are recognized in the current period operating results to the extent of the decline.
Insurance Revenue and Expense Recognition Premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Benefits and expenses are matched with recognized premiums to result in recognition over the life of the contracts. This match is accomplished by recording a provision for future policy benefits and unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses and by amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs. Charges related to services to be performed are deferred until earned. The amounts received in excess of premiums and fees are included in other policyholder funds in the consolidated balance sheets.
Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written which relates to the unexpired term of policies. Liabilities for health and disability and other policy claims and benefits payable represent estimates of payments to be made on insurance claims for reported losses and estimates of losses incurred but not yet reported. These estimates are based on past claims experience and current claim trends as well as social and economic conditions such as changes in legal theories and inflation. Due to the nature of underlying risks and the high degree of uncertainty associated with the determination of the liability for future policy benefits and claims, the amounts to be ultimately paid to settle liabilities cannot be precisely determined and may vary significantly from the estimated liability.
Acquisition costs related to insurance contracts have been deferred to accomplish matching against future premium revenue. The costs are charged to current earnings to the extent it is determined that future premiums are not adequate to cover amounts deferred.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 VERSUS QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
Consolidated Moving and Storage Operations
Revenues consist of rental revenues and net sales. Total rental revenue was $375.9 million and $356.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Improved pricing has primarily attributed to the increase. Storage revenues increased $5.9 million due to increased facility capacity through the acquisition of new locations and increased storage rates.
Net sales revenues were $68.2 million and $68.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Cost of sales was $33.3 million and $36.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease results from static sales.
Operating expenses before intercompany eliminations were $266.2 million and $267.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Lease expense was $38.8 million and $42.5 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This decrease reflects a decline in the number of leased rental trucks.
Net depreciation expense was $30.0 million and $29.3 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
AMERCOs Real Estate Operations
Rental revenue before intercompany eliminations was $15.4 million and $17.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Intercompany revenue was $14.7 and $17.3 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Net investment and interest income was $2.8 million and $1.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This decrease correlates to a reduction in Real Estates average note and mortgage receivables balance outstanding.
18
Lease expense was $2.0 million and $4.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Net depreciation expense was $2.1 million and $3.2 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease from 2001 to 2002 reflected a loss on the disposition of assets for 2001 of $0.6 million.
Operating profit before tax and intercompany elimination was $14.7 million and $14.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Property and Casualty
RepWests premiums were $46.6 million and $62.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. General agency premiums were $20.2 million and $29.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease from 2001 to 2002 was the result of the cancellation of RepWests direct Non-Standard Auto and Homeowners business, as well as additional quota share reinsurance on Transportation business. Assumed treaty reinsurance premium was $9.3 millions and $15.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Rental industry premiums were $9.2 million and $8.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Net investment income was $7.6 million and $8.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease is attributable to lower annual average invested assets as well as reduced cash flow from operations.
Benefits and losses incurred were $45.6 million and $60.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This decrease is attributable to lowered premium writings resulting in less exposure primarily in the non-standard auto and home lines.
The amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) was $5.3 million and $5.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Operating expenses were $6.0 million and $10.9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease is a result of decreased commissions on decreased premium writings as well as decreased general and administrative expenses.
Operating loss before tax and intercompany elimination was $2.8 million and $5.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decreased loss is the result of decreased expenses and the cancellation of unprofitable lines of business.
Life Insurance
Net premiums were $39.7 million and $39.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Oxford increased Medicare supplement premiums by $1.0 million through direct writings and rate management activity. Whole life sales increased $0.6 million from the same quarter of 2001. Credit insurance premiums decreased $1.3 million for the quarter from the previous year. Other business segments had premium decreases totaling $0.2 million.
Net investment income before intercompany eliminations decreased $0.9 million to $5.3 million from $6.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, due to realized losses on fixed maturities.
Benefits incurred were $30.8 million and $31.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This was primarily due to fewer annuitizations.
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) and the value of business acquired (VOBA) was $5.0 million and $4.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Operating expenses were $8.3 million and $7.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Commissions have increased $0.4 million from 2001 primarily due to the increase in Medicare supplement premiums. General and administrative expenses net of fees collected increased $0.7 million.
Operating profit before tax and intercompany eliminations was $0.9 million and $2.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease from 2001 is due primarily to realized investment losses and loss experience in the credit insurance segments.
19
Interest Expense
Consolidated Group
Interest expense was $26.9 million and $20.7 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase can be attributed to a higher debt level outstanding for SAC Holdings due its the acquisition of additional storage properties.
Consolidated Group
As a result of the foregoing, pretax earnings were $62.7 million and $33.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. After providing for income taxes, net earnings were $40.5 million and $20.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
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 June 30, 2002, net property, plant and equipment represented approximately 97.3% of total assets from non-insurance operations and approximately 52.4% of consolidated assets. In the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, capital expenditures were $46.5 million and $143.0 million, respectively. These expenditures primarily reflect the replacement of the rental truck fleet.
Cash provided by operating activities was $71.0 million and $21.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase resulted primarily from a decrease in notes and mortgage receivable partially offset by decreases in the accounts payable and intercompany payable balances along with increased earnings.
AMERCOs Real Estate Operations
Cash used by operating activities was $0.2 million and $20.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The reduction of the amount used mainly resulted from a decrease in the intercompany payable balance.
Property and Casualty
Cash used by operating activities was $28.0 million and $17.8 million for quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This change resulted from decreased unearned premium, a decrease in the change in premiums receivable from period to period, along with an increase in due from affiliate.
RepWests cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment portfolio were $11.6 million and $4.3 million at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase is a result of a shifting of investments to cash and cash equivalents to fund claim payments generated by new business.
RepWest maintains a diversified securities investment portfolio, primarily in bonds, at varying maturity levels with 87.5% 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 stable with current invested assets equal to 71.4% of total liabilities.
Life Insurance
Oxfords 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 (used) by operating activities was $(5.6) million and $1.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities in 2002 relates to paid loss experience. Cash flows provided by financing activities were $1.8 million and $3.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Cash flows from deferred annuity sales increase investment contract deposits, which are a component of financing activities. The decrease in 2002 from 2001 is due to a higher ratio of annuity withdrawals versus deposits on our annuity contracts.
In addition to cash flows from operating and financing activities, a substantial amount of liquid funds is available through Oxfords short-term portfolio. At March 31, 2002 and 2001, short-term investments were $67.0 million and $65.1 million, respectively. Management believes that the overall sources of liquidity will continue to meet foreseeable cash needs.
20
Consolidated group
At June 30, 2002, total outstanding notes and mortgages payable for AMERCO and wholly owned subsidiaries was $898.5 million compared to $1,045.8 million at March 31, 2002. At June 30, 2002, total outstanding notes and mortgages payable for SAC Holdings and consolidated subsidiaries was $960.7 million compared to $957.4 million at March 31, 2002. SAC Holdings securitized loan agreements have no guarantees, or triggers that could create a guarantee, from AMERCO. With the exception of a Merrill Lynch transaction, a sellers warranty of value, for $2.0 million, SAC Holdings creditors have no recourse to AMERCO. The sellers warranty will be eliminated when occupancy reaches 74.9%. AMERCO is not liable for the debts of SAC Holdings. Further, there are no cross default provisions on indebtedness between AMERCO and SAC Holdings.
AMERCO has no (and has never had any) ownership interest in SAC Holdings or its subsidiaries. The presentation of the consolidated statements has no bearing on the credit agreements or the operations of either AMERCO or SAC Holdings. The accounts of AMERCO and SAC Holdings are presented as consolidated due to a revised interpretation of EITF 90-15 by the Companys former independent public accountants during the year ended March 31, 2002, which concluded that SAC Holdings majority owner did not qualify as an independent third party to AMERCO.
During each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, we estimate gross capital expenditures will average approximately $289.0 million primarily reflecting rental fleet rotation. This level of capital expenditures, combined with a potential range of $150 $205 million in annual long-term debt maturities, are expected to create annual average funding needs of approximately $466.0 million. We estimate that U-Haul will fund these requirements with leases, internally generated funds, including the proceeds from the disposition of older trucks and other asset sales, and to a lesser extent, by refinancing a portion of existing indebtedness. The sale of assets is dependant upon economic conditions, the amount and nature of sale and leaseback transactions and our fleet rotation program. Operating leases on rental equipment result from sale-lease back transactions whereby as part of the agreement, residual value guarantees were provided. We believe the market value of the trucks upon the lease maturity will be greater than the residual value guarantees. In many cases, a decline in asset sales is accompanied by a decrease in capital expenditures. Depending on the results of our operations and general economic and competitive conditions, many of which we cannot control, we may take certain actions, including delaying or reducing capital expenditures.
From time to time, Real Estate sells storage properties to SAC Holdings. These sales have in the past provided significant cash flows to the Company. The ability of the Company to engage in similar transactions in the future is dependent to a large degree on the ability of SAC Holdings to obtain third party financing for its acquisition of properties from Real Estate and, in general, its willingness to engage in such transactions.
Credit Agreements
Our operations are funded by various credit and financing arrangements, including unsecured long-term borrowings, unsecured medium-term notes, revolving lines of credit with banks and operating leases. The operating leases are primarily used to finance the Companys fleet of trucks and trailers. As of June 30, 2002, we had $898.5 million in total notes and loans payable outstanding and total unutilized lines of credit of approximately $65.8 million. In addition to economic pressures, there has been a reduction in the number of leasing companies and banks, which has had a negative impact on financial markets. This has led to less availability of financing and higher cost of credit. We believe there are enough leasing companies and banks to meet our financing needs. However, no assurance can be provided that we will be able to secure additional borrowings on satisfactory terms or in a timely manner.
Certain of our credit agreements contain restrictive financial and other covenants, including, among others, covenants with respect to incurring additional indebtedness, making third party guarantees, entering into contingent obligations, maintaining certain financial ratios, placing certain additional liens on our properties and assets, and restricting the issuance of certain types of preferred stock. At June 30, 2002, AMERCO was in compliance with these covenants.

SAC Holdings operations are funded by various mortgage loans and unsecured notes, with interest rates ranging from 8.0% to 13.0%. SAC does not utilize revolving lines of credit to finance its operations or acquisitions. Certain of SACs agreements contain restrictive covenants including coverage ratios and restrictions on incurring additional subsidiary indebtedness. At June 30, 2002, SAC Holdings was in compliance with all of these covenants.
On June 28, 2002, AMERCO entered into an agreement replacing an existing 5 year $400.0 million revolver agreement with a 3 year $205.0 million revolver agreement.
