Customer demand for U-Haul products and services is greater than ever. The Company is experiencing another year of record rental transactions.

If business so great how come they can't make any money?
These are the Net Income numbers for the past 5 years in Mar quarter.
Net income (loss) 2.72 12.97 65.49 62.51 34.98

On the other hand, the bulk of the cash from from operations comes from this category

Deprec & amort 169.44 144.18 135.48 114.10 113.82

FCF/share -6.91 -10.84 -8.21 -6.33 -10.61

Cashflow from investing, sucks

Cashflow-investing -213.35 -126.74 -181.68 -204.78 -140.79

And a few other things from the last 10Q available for quarter ending in June
All of the following in thousands.
Total Contractual Obligations $ 1,990,534
Less than 1 year 448,404
1-3 years 869,836
4-5 years 168,737
after 5 years 503,557

So they had $448mm to pay in the next year before the restructuring

Glad to see the Giants got rid of the big Enron advertisement on the outfield sign, though they should have gone ahead and taken down the Nortel Networks sign above it. Now if they could just clean the neighborhood up by getting rid of that scummy lawfirm across the street over on the third base side of the park.
