Adagio provides fiduciary and investment management services.

During the past five years, to the best of the knowledge of the Reporting Persons as of the date of this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of a competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

This Statement is filed as an amendment to the Reporting Persons’ original Schedule 13D, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 13, 2006. This Statement is required because of a change in trustees with respect to the Irrevocable “C” Trusts dated December 20, 1982. Since July 13, 2006, only one transaction has occurred involving the Reporting Persons. On December 8, 2006, Mark V. Shoen (through Blackwater) acquired 100,000 shares of Common Stock from James P. Shoen (through JPS Partners) for $95 per share, which was the price negotiated by Blackwater

and JPS Partners. That transaction was reported by each of Mark V. Shoen and James P. Shoen on Form 4s filed on December 12, 2006.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On January 1, 2007, Adagio replaced Southwest Fiduciary, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Southwest”), as trustee of the Irrevocable “C” Trust dated December 20, 1982 (James P. Shoen, grantor). On March 1, 2007, Adagio replaced Southwest as trustee of the Irrevocable “C” Trust dated December 20, 1982 (Edward J. Shoen, grantor) and the Irrevocable “C” Trust dated December 20, 1982 (Mark V. Shoen, grantor). As of March 1, 2007, Adagio became a signatory to the stockholder agreement (the “Stockholder Agreement”) that was entered into by the other Reporting Persons on June 30, 2006. The Stockholder Agreement provides that the Reporting Persons agree to vote as one block in furtherance of their interests. The Stockholder Agreement resulted in the Reporting Persons having collective voting power over 50.6404% of the Common Stock. The Reporting Persons continue to believe that the Stockholder Agreement will advance corporate stability and facilitate the evaluation of strategies designed to maximize the value and liquidity of the Company’s securities. The Stockholder Agreement has an initial term that will expire on July 1, 2007 (unless sooner terminated as provided therein), but will automatically renew on an annual basis unless any of the Reporting Persons provides notice by June 1^ST of a given year of an intent to withdraw from the Stockholder Agreement.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.

As discussed in Item 4 above, the Reporting Persons have agreed to aggregate their voting power pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement. As a result of the Stockholder Agreement, each Reporting Person may be deemed to have beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended) of, and shared power to vote or direct the vote of 10,642,565 shares of Common Stock, which represents 50.6404% of the outstanding shares thereof. Each Reporting Person executed an irrevocable proxy in connection with the Stockholder Agreement and appointed James P. Shoen as proxy in order to carry out the terms of the Stockholder Agreement. In addition, any shares of Common Stock acquired by or issued to any party to the Stockholder Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Stockholder Agreement.

While the Reporting Persons share voting power, each Reporting Person retains the sole dispositive power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by such Reporting Person.

Edward J. Shoen beneficially owns 3,487,944 shares of Common Stock and retains sole dispositive power over such shares. Such shares constitute approximately 16.60% of the outstanding Common Stock.

Mark V. Shoen beneficially owns 3,529,669 shares of Common Stock and retains sole dispositive power over such shares. Such shares constitute approximately 16.80% of the outstanding Common Stock.

James P. Shoen beneficially owns 1,950,229 shares of Common Stock and retains sole dispositive power over such shares. Such shares constitute approximately 9.27% of the outstanding Common Stock.

Rosmarie T. Donovan, as Trustee of the Shoen Irrevocable Trusts dated November 2, 1998, retains sole dispositive power over 250,250 shares of Common Stock. Such shares constitute approximately 1.19% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.

Adagio, as Trustee of the Irrevocable “C” Trusts dated December 20, 1982, retains sole dispositive power over 1,424,473 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Such shares constitute approximately 6.78% of the outstanding Common Stock.

Other than the purchase by Mark V. Shoen (through Blackwater) of 100,000 shares of Common Stock and the sale of such shares by James P. Shoen (through JPS Partners), which is described in Item 3 above, none of the Reporting Persons have effected any transaction in the Company’s Common Stock during the past sixty (60) days.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

As discussed in Item 4 above, the Reporting Persons entered into the Stockholder Agreement, pursuant to which each party agreed to (i) vote as one block consistent with the terms of the Stockholder Agreement and (ii) grant an irrevocable proxy to James P. Shoen to vote each Reporting Person’s share pursuant to the terms set forth in the Stockholder Agreement.
