Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2023. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Previously Disclosed Material Weaknesses and Remediation Plan

Two-Class Method of Earnings per Share. As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we implemented a plan to address the material weakness related to the accounting for the two-class method of earnings per share associated with the recently issued UHAL.B common stock, including:

Redesigning the related control

Conducting relevant training for personnel involved in the process and control functions

Enhancing the procedures and control activity documentation

These actions were completed in advance of our year end close process as of March 31, 2023, and the redesigned control operated as planned as part of our March 31, 2023, year-end close process.

In conjunction with our interim period close process as of September 30, 2023, the redesigned control again operated as designed. Therefore, based upon our testing of the redesigned control over these instances, we have concluded that the material weakness related to the calculation of earnings per share using the two-class method associated with the recently issued UHAL.B common stock, has been remediated.

General Information Technology Controls. As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we determined a material weakness existed as management did not fully design, implement and monitor general information technology controls in the areas of program change management, user access, segregation of duties, and cyber security for systems supporting substantially all of the Company’s internal control processes. A substantial portion of the Company’s controls are dependent upon the information derived from the information technology systems and therefore the dependent controls were concluded to be ineffective. Our management, under the oversight of our Audit Committee, has begun evaluating and implementing new controls or redesigning controls to remediate the control deficiencies giving rise to this material weakness. These remediations measures have included:

Assessing and formalizing the design of certain information technology policies

Implementing controls and procedures relating to program change management, user access, segregation of duties and cyber security for systems supporting substantially all of the Company’s internal control processes

Developing monitoring controls and protocols that will allow us to timely assess the design and operating effectiveness of the new and redesigned controls

Strengthening of password policies

Conducting more frequent end-user access reviews

Enhancing the process for timely review of program management changes

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment, and believe that these remediation actions represent significant improvements in our controls under the Internal Control – Integrated Framework Issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, additional remediation measures may be required, which may require additional implementation time, or we may modify certain of our remediation measures. The material weakness related to the general information technology controls will not be considered remediated, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the material weakness described above, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
