management’s report on internal control over financial reporting
TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:
Management of Plantronics, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. 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.
We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005. In
making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on our assessment of internal control over financial reporting, we concluded that, as of March 31,
2005, Plantronics, Inc’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Our assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
March 31, 2005 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public
accounting firm, whose report appears herein.
