Table of Contents PART II ITEM 13. DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES None. ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS On June 30, 2005, a two-for-one stock split was effected. On July 14, 2006, a two-for-one stock split was effected. ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures Logitech’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 20-F, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 20-F, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed to reasonably assure that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. (b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Logitech’s management, with oversight by the Board of Directors, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Logitech’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Logitech’s management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2007. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. (c) Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2007 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers SA, Switzerland, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included under Item 18 “Financial Statements” on page F-2. 61
Table of Contents (d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company completed the implementation of an upgrade to its enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) software. Implementation of an ERP software upgrade is a material change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Pre-implementation testing and post-implementation reviews were conducted by management to ensure that internal controls surrounding the system implementation process, the applications, and closing process were properly designed and tested for effectiveness to prevent material financial statement errors. There have been no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. ITEM 16A.
