ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION
A. Selected financial data
TELKOM’s consolidated financial statements for the year 1999 were audited by KAP Prasetio, Utomo & Co., the member firm of Arthur Andersen & Co. SC in Indonesia. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years 2000 and 2001 were audited by KAP Hans Tuanakotta Mustofa & Halim (formerly KAP Hans Tuanakotta & Mustofa), the member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu in Indonesia. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year 2002 have been audited by KAP Drs. Haryanto Sahari & Rekan (formerly KAP Drs. Hadi Sutanto & Rekan), the member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers in Indonesia. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year 2003 have been audited by KAP Siddharta Siddharta & Widjaja, the member firm of KPMG International in Indonesia. All such consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with Indonesian GAAP, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. See Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Summary of Significant Differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP” and Note 58 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which provide a description of the significant differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP and a reconciliation to the amount of U.S. GAAP net income and stockholders’ equity of TELKOM for and as of the end of each of the periods indicated in the consolidated financial statements.
Following the dissolution of Andersen Worldwide in 2002, KAP Prasetio, Utomo & Co. ceased business operations in Indonesia in August 2002. As a consequence, KAP Prasetio, Utomo & Co. has not reissued an audit opinion in respect of the 1999 consolidated financial statements and, therefore, the information included in the relevant selected financial information for 1999 is derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements.
For the year 2003, ten companies were consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements, namely: PT AriaWest International (“AriaWest”, 100.00%), PT Multimedia Nusantara (“Metra”, 100.00%), PT Graha Sarana Duta (“GSD”, 99.99%), PT Pramindo Ikat Nusantara (“Pramindo”, 100.00%), PT Indonusa Telemedia (“Indonusa”, 90.39%), PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi (“Dayamitra”, 90.32%), PT Telekomunikasi Selular (“Telkomsel”, 65.00%), PT Napsindo Primatel Internasional (“Napsindo”, 60.00%), PT Infomedia Nusantara (“Infomedia”, 51.00%) and PT Pro Infokom Indonesia (“PII”, 51.00%).

Exchange Rate Information
Prior to August 14, 1997, Bank Indonesia maintained the value of the Rupiah based on a basket of currencies of Indonesia’s main trading partners. In July 1997, the exchange rate band was widened and on August 14, 1997, Bank Indonesia announced it would no longer intervene in maintaining the exchange rate at any pre-determined level.
The following table shows the exchange rate of Rupiah to US Dollar based on the middle exchange rates at the end of each month for the periods indicated. The Rupiah middle exchange rate is calculated based on Bank Indonesia buying and selling rates. No representations are made that the Rupiah or US Dollar amounts referred to herein could have been or could be converted into US Dollar or Rupiah, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

TELKOM did not file a fully compliant 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F until February 9, 2004 and may face an SEC enforcement action, or other legal liability or adverse consequences. |
TELKOM was unable to meet its June 30, 2003 deadline to file a fully compliant Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2002 because the audit firm it had originally appointed to perform its 2002 audit was not qualified for SEC purposes, and TELKOM’s SEC-qualified 2002 auditors, KAP Drs. Haryanto Sahari & Rekan (formerly KAP Drs. Hadi Sutanto & Rekan), the member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers in Indonesia, did not begin their audit work until their appointment in July 2003. TELKOM filed a non-compliant Annual Report on April 17, 2003 and then filed an amended non-compliant Annual Report on June 11, 2003 to:
• | remove the 2002 reports of TELKOM’s prior auditors, KAP Eddy Pianto, and the auditors of TELKOM’s subsidiary, Telkomsel; |
11
Table of Contents
• | identify the consolidated financial statements therein for 2002 as “unaudited” and indicate that TELKOM’s consolidated financial statements therein for 2002 had not been audited by an independent accounting firm qualified in accordance with SEC requirements; | |
• | furnish an explanation of the foregoing; | |
• | describe the review by the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance of TELKOM’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2002 and of TELKOM’s public statements regarding its annual report, and the referral of those matters to the SEC’s Division of Enforcement; | |
• | discuss the material consequences of the deficiencies in its Annual Report, of TELKOM’s public statements regarding such Annual Report and of an SEC enforcement action regarding the same; and | |
• | describe TELKOM’s plan to bring its Annual Report into full compliance with applicable SEC regulations. |
TELKOM did not file Amendment No. 2 to its 2002 Annual Report until February 9, 2004, which was over 7 months past the June 30, 2003 filing deadline. Amendment No. 2 to TELKOM’s 2002 Annual Report contained audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 which restated previously filed audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 and previously filed unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002, and revised or updated various disclosures. Such restated consolidated financial statements (and the related selected financial information) reflected certain adjustments and modified certain disclosures for several items under Indonesian GAAP and with respect to the reconciliation of those items to US GAAP.
Because of the foregoing and because TELKOM did not file a compliant Annual Report on Form 20-F until after the June 30, 2002 deadline, TELKOM may face an SEC enforcement action under U.S. securities law and incur other legal liability and adverse consequences such as a delisting of its ADSs from the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, the staff of the SEC described a press release that TELKOM issued and furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K in May 2003 as “grossly understating the nature and severity of the staff’s concerns” regarding matters related to TELKOM’s filing of a non-compliant Annual Report. Such press release could also form the basis of an SEC enforcement action and other legal liability. TELKOM cannot at this time predict the likelihood or severity of an SEC enforcement action or any other legal liability or adverse consequences.
As a result of TELKOM’s failure to timely file a compliant Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2002 with the SEC by the June 30, 2003 deadline and the May 2003 press release relating thereto, TELKOM may have been in breach of certain covenants in its Citibank and Bank Central Asia (BCA) debt facilities that require TELKOM, among other things, to comply with all laws and regulations applicable to it and deliver financial statements to the lenders. TELKOM has obtained written waivers from both Citibank, acting as agent for the lenders under the relevant facility agreements, and BCA with respect to such breaches. Nevertheless, any of the adverse consequences referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph (such as, but not limited to, an SEC enforcement action) could give rise to defaults under one or more of TELKOM’s debt facilities and cross defaults under other debt facilities with respect to such defaults. If TELKOM were unable to obtain waivers of any such defaults, indebtedness outstanding under such debt facilities could become immediately due and payable, which could have a material adverse effect on TELKOM’s financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Relating to Indonesia
Current political and social events in Indonesia may adversely impact business activity in Indonesia. |
Since 1998, Indonesia has experienced a process of democratic change, resulting in political and social events that have highlighted the unpredictable nature of Indonesia’s changing political land-

Table of Contents
Recently, hostilities in the province of Aceh have reached new heights. A prior peace pact, known as the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, has failed to maintain peace between the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) militia and the Government and the Joint Security Committee formed by the two sides has been disbanded. Increasing tension in Aceh has led to a recent military build-up in the province and continued outbreaks of violence, arson and social unrest. Human rights violators, including those from high-ranking military positions, have recently begun to be more actively prosecuted in Indonesia. However, the success of these prosecutions has been mixed.
During the years 2002 and 2003, several bombing incidents took place in Indonesia, including in Bali, at the JW Marriott hotel in Jakarta and at the airport, shopping centers and places of worship. Terrorist acts may be directed at foreigners in Indonesia or in relation to political matters such as the July 2004 Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections.
In April 5, 2004, Indonesians for the first time directly elected representatives to the Indonesian parliament via proportional voting with an open list of candidates. As of the date hereof, the tallying of votes and the overall results of the parliamentary election have been generally peaceful, and business and investment activity in Indonesia do not appear to have been adversely affected. We expect, however, that in the lead-up to the July 2004 Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections, increased political activity and campaigning may result in a degree of political and social uncertainty with regard to Indonesia and economic activity may be adversely affected, as both foreign and domestic investors may become cautious and scale down or postpone business activity during this period.
Political and related social developments in Indonesia have been unpredictable in the past and there can be no assurance that social and civil disturbances will not occur in the future and on a wider scale, or that any such disturbances will not, directly or indirectly, have a material adverse effect on us or on an investment in the ADSs or Common Stock. Further, these social and civil disturbances could continue to have a material adverse effect on investment and confidence in and the performance of, the Indonesian economy and in turn our business.
Declines or volatility in Indonesia’s currency exchange rates can have a material adverse impact on business activity in Indonesia. |
The Government’s exchange rate policies and any future changes in the value of the Rupiah against the US Dollar or other currencies could adversely affect TELKOM’s financial condition and results of operations. On August 14, 1997, Bank Indonesia permitted the exchange rate for the Rupiah to float without announcing a level at which it would intervene. From August 1997 to mid-1998, the month-end value of the Rupiah relative to the US Dollar declined from approximately Rp.2,600 per US Dollar to as low as approximately Rp.15,000 per US Dollar. There can be no assurance that: (a) the Rupiah will not be subject to continued depreciation or volatility; (b) the current exchange rate policy will remain the same; (c) the Government will act when necessary to stabilize, maintain or increase the value of the Rupiah, or that any such action, if taken, will be successful.
Continued depreciation or volatility of the Rupiah against the US Dollar or other currencies could adversely affect general economic conditions in Indonesia. Rupiah depreciation would also drive up the Rupiah cost of TELKOM’s capital expenditure program since most of the equipment to be used in the expansion of TELKOM’s network capacity is sourced off-shore and priced in foreign currencies, mainly in US Dollars and Euros, while almost all of TELKOM’s revenues are in Rupiah. Changes in the current exchange rate policy may result in significantly higher domestic interest rates, liquidity shortages, capital or exchange controls or the withholding of additional financial assistance by multilateral

Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Rupiah and the US Dollar could affect, among other things, the dollar value of any amounts a holder or beneficial owner of ADSs will receive in the event we issue dividends, the US Dollar value of the proceeds a holder or beneficial owner would receive upon the sale in Indonesia of shares of the Common Stock and the secondary market price of the ADSs.
Indonesia ended its Extended Financing Facility with the International Monetary Fund and the consequences thereof are unpredictable. |
In December 2003, the Government ended its Extended Financing Facility (“EFF”) program with the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) and began to drawdown on its gross foreign reserves, as well as on its outstanding balances at the IMF. Considering the Government’s current fiscal deficit and modest foreign exchange reserves, the end of the EFF has raised concerns about the ability of the Government to fund subsidies for staples such as food and fuel, which, in turn, could have extremely serious political and social consequences. The end of the EFF also brings with it the end of the Government’s ability to reschedule Indonesia’s Paris Club bilateral foreign loans. Other consequences of ending the EFF are not known at this stage. While the Government has sought to address these concerns by issuing a White Paper setting forth its fiscal strategy and policy objectives for 2004, there can be no assurance that the Government’s strategy will be successful or that its objectives will be met in full or in part.
Indonesia no longer has access to the Paris Club but continues to rely on loans from official creditors. |
Since the financial crisis of 1997, the members of the Paris Club have been an important source of funding for the Government. The Paris Club is an informal voluntary group of 19 creditor countries that coordinates solutions for payment difficulties experienced by debtor nations. As of December 31, 2003, lending from the Paris Club members to the Government accounted for approximately 36% of the Government’s total foreign debt. The last debt rescheduling took place in April 2002 when the Paris Club rescheduled approximately US$5.4 billion of principal and interest due from the Government between April 2002 and December 2003. This was done by extending the period within which the amounts could be repaid.
In addition to the Paris Club, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank have been major sources of financing. As of December 2003, these Banks had outstanding loans to the Indonesian government of approximately US$18.3 billion. Disbursements from these sources have been slower than expected in recent years due to the slow pace of institutional reforms in Indonesia and concerns regarding the Government’s decentralization plan. Currently, regional governments in Indonesia are not allowed to borrow in foreign currency and any change to Indonesian law allowing them to borrow in foreign currency could be a source of potential debt service problems. The World Bank and Asian Development Bank lending programs are subject to regular compliance reviews and can be reduced or withdrawn at any time. The impact of any elimination of lending cannot be assessed but is likely to be materially adverse.
Indonesia’s high level of sovereign debts may result in it being unable to service its debt obligations when they become due. |
Indonesia’s high level of sovereign debts has forced it to negotiate with its major creditors several times since the 1997 financial crisis. For example, the Government held a round of talks with the Paris Club donor countries and the IMF in April 2002 to discuss the rescheduling of Indonesia’s debt due in 2002. In these talks, the Government sought to restructure not just debt principal, but interest payments as well, totaling US$2.6 billion. The meeting resulted in the rescheduling of debt principal payments

Indonesia’s sovereign debt rating continues to be reviewed and revised by international rating agencies. |
Beginning in 1997, certain recognized statistical rating organizations, including Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”), downgraded Indonesia’s sovereign rating and the credit ratings of various credit instruments of the Government and a large number of Indonesian banks and other companies. As of April 2, 2004, the Government’s long-term foreign currency debt and its short-term foreign currency debt were rated “B2” and “B2”, respectively, by Moody’s and rated “B” and “B”, respectively, by S&P. These ratings reflect an assessment of the Government’s overall ability to pay its obligations and its willingness to meet its financial commitments as they come due. No assurance can be given that Moody’s, S&P or any other international credit rating agency will not downgrade the credit ratings of Indonesia or Indonesian companies. Any such downgrade would have an adverse impact on liquidity in the Indonesian financial markets and the ability of Indonesian companies, including TELKOM, to raise additional financing and the interest rates at which such additional financing is available.
Risks relating to TELKOM and its subsidiaries
TELKOM’s expansion plans may strain key resources and thereby adversely affect its business, financial condition and prospects. |
To remain competitive and position TELKOM in gaining market share, TELKOM has identified its primary business objective as becoming a full service and network provider. To achieve this objective, TELKOM has determined that it should increase its focus on multimedia and other types of services in addition to its present core business concentration on local, domestic long-distance and mobile cellular services. TELKOM has also received its commercial license to provide IDD services and has begun offering IDD services beginning June 7, 2004. The implementation of measures designed to achieve these objectives could strain TELKOM’s managerial, financial and other resources, which could adversely affect TELKOM’s business, financial condition and prospects.
Failure to amicably resolve KSO disputes may in some areas result in limited network expansion in some regions and impede TELKOM’s access to subscribers and ability to compete effectively. |
As a result of the Indonesian economic crisis that began in 1997, certain KSO partners experienced substantial difficulties in fulfilling their obligations to TELKOM under the KSO Agreements, leading to disputes between TELKOM and certain KSO partners. TELKOM has explored various options to resolve the KSO issues and has negotiated the acquisition of all or a majority of shares of certain KSO partners. In 2001, TELKOM acquired a 90.32% equity interest in PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi Indonesia (“Dayamitra”), the KSO partner for KSO VI. On April 19, 2002, TELKOM entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement for the purchase of all of the outstanding equity interests in PT Pramindo Ikat Nusantara (“Pramindo”), the KSO partner for KSO I, to be completed in three stages. As part of the initial closing, it acquired legal ownership of 30% of the shares of Pramindo in August 2002 and obtained control over Pramindo, subject to certain conditions, including that TELKOM continues to meet its payment obligations under the terms of the promissory notes issued as consideration for the purchase price and the protective rights retained by the selling stockholders. Under the agreement, the legal ownership of TELKOM in Pramindo increased by a further 15% (from 30% to 45%) on September 30, 2003 and the legal ownership to the remaining 55% was transferred to TELKOM on March 15, 2004. On July 31, 2003, TELKOM purchased all of the outstanding equity interests in PT AriaWest International (“AriaWest”), the KSO partner for KSO III. As a result of these
15
Table of Contents
On January 20, 2004, TELKOM and PT Mitra Global Telekomunikasi Indonesia (“MGTI”) entered into an agreement to amend and restate the KSO Agreement with respect to Regional Division IV. Under this amendment agreement, for the remaining KSO period, TELKOM will be entitled at its sole discretion and expense to construct new telecommunications facilities in Regional Division IV and MGTI will receive fixed monthly payments derived from revenues generated by the Regional Division IV operations.
TELKOM continues to have a KSO partner for KSO VII, PT Bukaka SingTel International (“Bukaka SingTel”). As of the date of this Annual Report, there are no disputes between TELKOM and Bukaka SingTel. However, because Bukaka SingTel continues to be responsible for network development in KSO VII and has operational responsibility, should any issues or disputes arise that are not amicably resolved network expansion may be limited and this would impede TELKOM’s access to subscribers and its ability to compete effectively in KSO VII.
TELKOM’s controlling stockholder’s interests may differ from those of TELKOM’s other stockholders. |
The Government has an aggregate interest of approximately 51.19% of the issued and outstanding shares of TELKOM and has control of TELKOM and the ability to determine the outcome of substantially all actions requiring the approval of TELKOM shareholders. The Government is also the holder of the Dwiwarna share of TELKOM, which has special voting rights and veto rights over certain matters, including the election and removal of the Directors and Commissioners of TELKOM. Through the MoC, the Government also exercises regulatory power over the Indonesian telecommunications industry. There might be situations where the objectives of the Government, as TELKOM’s regulator and its controlling shareholder, conflict with TELKOM’s business goals. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Government will not direct opportunities to other telecommunications service providers in which it holds an interest.
Certain systems failures could, if they occur, adversely affect TELKOM’s results of operations. |
TELKOM’s telecommunications services are currently carried through its fixed-line, cellular and data networks. All types of networks use last mile access, regional metro junction and long haul transmission networks as a common network resource. For last mile access, TELKOM operates Copper Access Network, Optical Access Network and Wireless Access Network. The regional metro junction and long haul transmission network operated by TELKOM consists of optical fiber cable, microwave, submarine cable and satellite transmission links.
Any failure of this integrated network, TELKOM’s servers, or any link in the transmission chain that results in an interruption in TELKOM’s operations or the provision of any service, whether from operational disruption, natural disaster or otherwise, could damage TELKOM’s ability to attract and retain subscribers and adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
TELKOM’s regulators and other telecommunications operators may challenge TELKOM’s ability to apply PSTN tariffs to its new CDMA-based fixed wireless phone service, which is marketed under the brand name TELKOMFlexi. |
In December 2002, TELKOM introduced new CDMA-based fixed wireless phone service, which is marketed under the brand name TELKOMFlexi. As of December 31, 2003, this service was offered in 38 cities, 25 of which are financed entirely by TELKOM (in non-BOT areas) and the remaining 13 are financed through the Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) scheme (in BOT areas). CDMA-based fixed wireless technology enables rapid development of telephone networks and reduces the capital expenditures per line by obviating the need for the installation of underground cables. TELKOMFlexi offers customers the ability to use a wireless handset with limited mobility (within a local code area).

TELKOM may need to raise funds required for certain future expenditure requirements and the terms of any debt financing may subject TELKOM to restrictive covenants. |
TELKOM may need to raise significant additional funds in order to support its growth, undertake acquisitions, meet unexpected contingencies and develop new or enhanced services and products. It may also need to respond to competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technologies or take advantage of opportunities. TELKOM cannot be certain that such additional funding, if needed, will be available on acceptable terms. Furthermore, any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit TELKOM’s operating flexibility with respect to certain business matters. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, TELKOM may be unable to develop or enhance its services. It may also be unable to take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on TELKOM’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
TELKOM’s ability to develop adequate financing arrangements is critical to support its capital expenditures. |
The telecommunications industry is capital intensive in nature. In order to satisfy customer demand and provide service and technology that is comparable to and compatible with, other telecommunications service providers, TELKOM must continue to expand and modernize its network, which involves substantial capital investment. TELKOM historically has relied heavily on two-step loans obtained through the Government and third-party financing, including vendor financing, to support the development of its fixed line network. If TELKOM is unable to obtain adequate vendor or other third-party financing for its planned capital expenditures or otherwise fund such expenditures through other financing arrangements, including free cash flows, TELKOM may have to forego, delay or postpone certain of its planned capital expenditures. This may prevent TELKOM from being able to expand sufficiently and upgrade its network.
Employee unions may negatively affect TELKOM’s business. |
Laws permitting the formation of labor unions, combined with weak economic conditions, have resulted and may continue to result, in labor unrest and activism in Indonesia. On February 25, 2003, the Indonesian Parliament passed a new employment law, Law No. 13 of 2003 (the “Employment Law”), which took effect on March 25, 2003. The Employment Law covered the increment of severance amount, service and compensation payment payable to terminated employees as well as to allow employees to unionize without intervention from employers. The Employment Law and new implementation regulations that may be issued thereunder may substantially affect labor relations in Indonesia. In May 2000, TELKOM employees formed a union named “Serikat Karyawan TELKOM” or “SEKAR”. Membership with SEKAR is not compulsory. TELKOM believes that its relations with SEKAR are good. However, there can be no assurance that the activities of employee unions will not materially and adversely affect TELKOM’s business, financial condition and prospects.

New technologies may adversely affect TELKOM’s ability to remain competitive. |
The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapid and significant changes in technology. TELKOM may face increasing competition from technologies currently being developed or that may be developed in the future. New technologies, services or standards could require significant changes to its business model, the development of new products or the provision of additional services. In addition, TELKOM may need to substantially upgrade its network to implement convergent technologies and update and expand its billing and credit control systems to accommodate growth in its business and the adoption of new technologies and services. New products and services may be expensive to develop and may result in the introduction of additional competitors into the marketplace. TELKOM cannot accurately predict how emerging and future technological changes will affect its operations or the competitiveness of its services. Similarly, TELKOM cannot provide any assurances that the technologies it adopts will not soon thereafter become obsolete or subject to intense competition from new technologies in the future.
TELKOM operates in a legal and regulatory environment that is undergoing significant reforms and such reforms may adversely affect TELKOM’s business. |
There are a number of uncertainties in the current regulatory environment for the Indonesian telecommunications industry. In particular, the Telecommunications Law No. 36 of 1999 (“Telecommunications Law”) provides key guidelines for industry reforms, including industry liberalization, facilitation of new entrants and changes to the industry’s competitive structure. The Telecommunications Law only outlines the framework and substantive principles for the liberalization of the telecommunications industry. TELKOM believes that there is uncertainty in the Indonesian regulatory environment with regard to, among other things:
• | Interconnection:TELKOM is obligated to allow other operators to interconnect their networks with those of TELKOM subject to entering into interconnection agreements with those other operators. Currently, TELKOM’s ability to negotiate such interconnection agreements is limited by the provisions set forth in various Ministerial Decrees governing interconnection rates. Following the enactment of the Telecommunications Law, a restructuring of the interconnection policy was proposed based upon a cost-based tariff as mutually determined by the operators rather than the revenue sharing scheme as currently implemented. As of the date of this Annual Report, the MoC has issued a decree stating that cost-based interconnection will commence beginning January 1, 2005 and the MoC is in the process of appointing an independent consultant that will assist in determining the basis for the new cost-based tariffs. The MoC is also drafting detailed regulations that will implement this new policy. TELKOM expects that the current interconnection fees may be adjusted as a result of the new cost-based interconnection scheme but TELKOM can give no assurance regarding the impact, if any, of such adjustment on TELKOM’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. | |
• | Licenses:The Government is in the process of amending certain TELKOM licenses to comply with the Telecommunications Law and to establish the so-called Modern License. The Government, with due regard to prevailing laws and regulations, may amend the terms of TELKOM’s licenses and business authority at its discretion. Any breach of the terms and conditions of its licenses or business authority or failure to comply with applicable regulations may result in such licenses or business authority being revoked. Any revocation or unfavorable amendment of the licenses or business authority, or any failure to renew them on comparable terms, could have a materially adverse effect on TELKOM’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. | |
• | Tariffs:In 1995, the Government implemented regulations providing a formula to establish the tariff adjustment for domestic fixed line telecommunications services. However, such annual tariff review adjustment has not been applied on a consistent basis. In addition, amendments to the current price cap policy allow operators to calculate yearly tariff adjustments beginning |

January 1, 2002, based on a formula to be stipulated by the Government. On January 29, 2002, the Government issued a letter to TELKOM stipulating a 45.49% increase in domestic fixed line telephone tariffs to be implemented over three years. For the year 2002 a tariff increase, with a weighted average 15% increase, was implemented. In January 2003, the Government postponed the second tariff increase due to numerous public protests. However, on March 30, 2004, the Government, through the ITRB, announced that it would allow operators to rebalance their tariffs, with the resulting weighted average of tariffs increasing by 9%. There is no assurance as to when or whether the remaining tariff increases will be implemented by the Government. | ||
• | Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Body (“ITRB”): The Telecommunications Law contemplates the establishment of a new independent regulatory body to regulate, monitor and control the telecommunications industry. The ITRB comprises officials from the Directorate General of Post and Telecommunication and the Committee of Telecommunications Regulations and was officially established on July 11, 2003. There can be no assurance that the ITRB will not take actions that may be detrimental to TELKOM’s business or prospects. | |
• | Competition in the Fixed Line Domestic Telecommunications Market: Historically, TELKOM has had the exclusive right to provide fixed line domestic telecommunications services in Indonesia. Pursuant to regulations introduced to implement the Telecommunications Law, the Government plans to terminate TELKOM’s monopoly in providing fixed line domestic telecommunications services. It has issued Indosat a principal license to provide local telephone services from August 2002, an operational license for local telephone services. On May 13, 2004, Indosat received its commercial license to provide domestic long-distance telephone services. As of the date of this Annual Report, TELKOM cannot provide any assurance as to when Indosat will commence offering domestic long-distance services to customers, thereby creating a “duopoly system” in Indonesia’s fixed line domestic telecommunications market. In June 2004, Indosat launched its own CDMA fixed wireless service, called “StarOne.” As of the date of this Annual Report, Indosat only offers this service in Surabaya but is expected to expand service coverage to other cities in Indonesia. This greater competition in the fixed line market, including fixed wireless, could lead to a decline in TELKOM’s existing subscriber base as subscribers choose to receive services from other providers. | |
• | DLD and IDD Services:On March 11, 2004, the MoC issued Decree No. 28/2004, Decree No. 29/2004 and Decree No. 30/2004 regarding DLD and IDD services. These Decrees further implement the Government’s policy of encouraging competition in the markets for DLD and IDD services. Among other matters, the Decrees state that consumers will be able to choose their DLD and IDD providers among various competitors, including TELKOM and Indosat, and require operators to create separate 3-digit access codes for DLD and IDD services. TELKOM expects to incur costs in connection with these new DLD and IDD requirements (including establishing DLD and IDD access codes), such as expenditures required to create a new routing database, costs relating to customer education and other marketing costs. In addition, competition in the market for DLD services could lead to a decline in TELKOM’s DLD revenues as subscribers choose to receive DLD services from other providers, such as Indosat. With regard to IDD services, on May 13, 2004 TELKOM received its commercial license from the Government to provide IDD services and began offering such services to customers on June 7, 2004. Nevertheless, competition among IDD service providers may limit TELKOM’s ability to generate significant IDD revenues. | |
• | Compensation Risk:The Telecommunications Law provides that TELKOM and Indosat will be compensated for the early termination of their exclusive rights. TELKOM previously had exclusive rights to provide fixed local and domestic long-distance services in Indonesia. TELKOM’s exclusive right to provide fixed local telecommunications services was terminated by the Government in August 2002 and TELKOM’s exclusive right to provide domestic long-distance services was terminated on March 30, 2004. The Government has determined the scheme of compensation for the termination of TELKOM’s exclusive rights, which will consist of |

(i) expedited issuance of an IDD license to TELKOM, which was issued on May 13, 2004; (ii) approval of the reissuance and transfer of TELKOM’s DCS 1800 license to Telkomsel, which took place on July 12, 2002; and (iii) a net cash payment to TELKOM and its KSO partners of Rp.478 billion (after taxes). While the amount of the compensation payable to TELKOM and its KSO partners has been determined, payment is contingent on appropriations to the State Budget for the MoC, which requires approval by Parliament. As of the date of this Annual Report, TELKOM can provide no assurance with regard to when Parliament will approve the necessary appropriations or as to the effects the net cash payment will have on TELKOM’s financial condition, results of operations and prospects. | ||
• | USO Risk:All telecommunications network operators and service providers are bound by a Universal Service Obligation, or USO, which requires provision of certain telecommunications facilities and infrastructure in rural and remote areas. As a local network provider, TELKOM is obligated to build and operate telecommunications networks in the USO areas. Historically, TELKOM has been obligated to contribute 5% of its capital expenditures to its USO requirements. TELKOM has typically experienced financial losses in providing such network capacity in rural and remote areas. On March 30, 2004, the Government issued a new regulation which requires telecommunications operators in Indonesia to contribute 0.75% of gross revenues (with due consideration for bad debt and interconnection charges) for USO development. The Government is also in the process of drafting detailed regulations that will fully implement the USO program for telecommunications operators in Indonesia. |
There can be no assurance that the amendment or interpretation or implementation of current laws and regulations, or the introduction of additional laws or regulations, will not adversely affect TELKOM’s business, financial condition and prospects.
TELKOM’s increasingly important cellular operations face significant constraints and competitive pressures. |
TELKOM provides cellular telecommunications services primarily through its subsidiary Telkomsel (GSM 900 Mhz and 1800 Mhz). Telkomsel has experienced rapid growth in its subscriber-base in recent years and its revenue has become an increasingly large component of TELKOM’s consolidated revenue. Telkomsel’s future growth depends upon its ability to manage capacity and spectrum constraints. Telkomsel has experienced such constraints in the past and may face such constraints in the future, which may result in network congestion, reduced service quality and an inability to increase and retain its subscriber-base and as a result may impede future growth. Telkomsel is seeking to substantially increase the capacity of its cellular network over the next three years. However, spectrum and capacity are subject to regulatory approval and allocation.
The Indonesian cellular telecommunications market is highly competitive. Currently, Telkomsel competes primarily with Indosat and Excelcomindo in attracting and retaining subscribers for its mobile cellular telecommunications services. There are also several other new competitors, including new CDMA cellular operators. Competition between Telkomsel and all of these operators is based on various factors such as pricing, network quality and coverage, range of services offered and customer service.
TELKOM’s satellites have a limited life and substantial risk exists for TELKOM-1 and Palapa B-4 to be damaged or interrupted during operation and satellite loss or reduced performance may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to provide certain services. |
TELKOM’s TELKOM-1 and Palapa B-4 satellites have a limited operational life. A number of factors affect the operational lives of satellites, including the quality of their construction, the durability of their component parts, the amount of fuel on board, the launch vehicle used and the manner in which the satellite is monitored and operated. The satellites could fail before the end of their useful

TELKOM is subject to Indonesian accounting and corporate disclosure standards that differ in significant respects from those applicable in other countries. |
There may be less publicly-available information about Indonesian public companies, including TELKOM, than is regularly disclosed by public companies in countries with more mature securities markets.

Accordingly, you will not be able to seek or recover damages from Prasetio, Utomo & Co. or Arthur Andersen in connection with its audit report for Telkomsel.
TELKOM is incorporated in Indonesia and it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process or to enforce judgments obtained in the United States against TELKOM. |
TELKOM is a limited liability company incorporated in Indonesia, operating within the framework of Indonesian laws relating to public companies and all of TELKOM’s significant assets are physically located in Indonesia. In addition, the majority of TELKOM’s Commissioners and Directors reside in Indonesia and a substantial portion of the assets of such persons is located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process, including judgments, on TELKOM or such persons within the United States, or to enforce against TELKOM or such persons in the United States judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state within the United States, or upon other bases.
TELKOM has been advised by its Indonesian legal advisor that judgments of United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws, are not enforceable in Indonesian courts, although such judgments could be admissible as non-conclusive evidence in a proceeding on the underlying claim in an Indonesian court. There is doubt as to whether Indonesian courts will enter judgments in original actions brought in Indonesian courts predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws. As a result, holders of ADSs or Common Stock would be required to pursue claims against TELKOM or its Commissioners and Directors in an Indonesian court.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
A. History and development of the Company
Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) P.T. Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk. (“TELKOM” or the “Company”), a majority state-owned company, is the principal provider of fixed-line services in Indonesia. TELKOM’s majority-owned subsidiary Telkomsel is also the largest Indonesian mobile cellular operator, as measured by subscribers and revenues. The Company also provides a wide range of other telecommunications services including interconnection, network, data and Internet services and other telecommunications services. Pursuant to its Articles of Association, TELKOM was established for an unlimited period of time. The Company’s purposes and objectives are to operate telecommunications networks and provide telecommunications and information services.
In 1884, the Dutch colonial government established a private company to provide postal services and domestic telegraph services and, subsequently, international telegraph services. Telephone services were first made available in Indonesia in 1882 and, until 1906, were provided by privately-owned companies pursuant to a 25-year government license. In 1906, the Dutch colonial government formed a government agency to assume control of all postal and telecommunications services in Indonesia. In 1961, most of these services were transferred to a newly-established state-owned company to provide postal and telecommunications services in Indonesia, apart from services in Sumatera, which were transferred in the 1970’s. The Government separated postal and telecommunications services in 1965 into two state-owned companies, PN Pos and Giro and PN Telekomunikasi. In 1974, PN Telekomunikasi was further divided into two state-owned companies, Perusahaan Umum Telekomunikasi (“Perumtel”) to provide domestic and international telecommunications services and PT INTI, to provide telecommunications equipment manufacturing. In 1980, the international telecommunications business was transferred to Indosat.
In 1991, Perumtel was transformed into a “Persero”, or state-owned limited liability corporation with commercial purposes and renamed Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) P.T. Telekomunikasi Indonesia, known as TELKOM. Prior to 1995, TELKOM’s business operations were segregated into twelve regional operating units, known as “Witels,” which were centrally controlled from TELKOM’s headquarters in Bandung, West Java. Each Witel had a management structure responsible for all aspects of TELKOM’s business in their respective regions, from the provision of telephone services to property management and security. The Company has its place of domicile in Indonesia and its registered office at No. 1, Jalan Japati, Bandung, 40133, Indonesia, Tel. No. (62) (22) 452-1510.
During 1995, TELKOM restructured its operations by converting all twelve Witels into seven regional divisions (Division I Sumatera; Division II Jakarta and the surrounding areas; Division III West Java; Division IV Central Java; Division V East Java; Division VI Kalimantan; and Division VII Eastern part of Indonesia) and one Network Division. The Company also entered into KSO Agreements pursuant to which it transferred the right to operate five of its seven regional divisions (regional divisions I, III, IV, VI and VII) to private sector consortia, each of which involved one or more prominent international telecommunications operators. The KSO Agreements provided for the relevant KSO partner to manage and operate the regional division for a fixed term, undertake the construction of

On November 14, 1995, the Government sold TELKOM shares through an initial public offering. TELKOM shares are listed on the Jakarta Stock Exchange and the Surabaya Stock Exchange and its shares, in the form of ADSs, are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange. Its shares have also been publicly offered without listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. TELKOM is currently one of the largest companies by market capitalization in Indonesia, with a market capitalization of approximately Rp.68,040 billion as of December 31, 2003 and of approximately Rp.72,576.0 billion as of June 24, 2004. The Government currently has an aggregate interest of approximately 51.19% of the issued and outstanding shares of TELKOM. The Government also holds the Dwiwarna share of TELKOM, which has special voting and veto rights over certain matters.
Following the Indonesian economic crisis that began in mid-1997, certain KSO partners experienced difficulties in fulfilling their obligations to TELKOM leading to certain disputes. As a result, TELKOM has in recent years acquired or entered into agreements to acquire control of its KSO partners in regions I, III and VI. In 2001, TELKOM acquired 90.32% of the shares of its KSO partner for Regional Division VI, PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi (“Dayamitra”) and purchased a call option and granted a put option with respect to the remaining shares of Dayamitra. In 2002, TELKOM entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of its KSO partner in Regional Division I, PT Pramindo Ikat Nusantara (“Pramindo”). Under the terms of its agreement with Pramindo, TELKOM agreed to acquire the shares of Pramindo in three tranches, beginning August 2002 (30%), with TELKOM also obtaining management control of Pramindo in August 2002. TELKOM acquired a further 15% in September 2003 and the remaining 55% was acquired on March 15, 2004. As of the date of this Annual Report, TELKOM legally owns 100% of Pramindo. In 2003, TELKOM acquired 100% of the shares of its KSO partner for Regional Division III, PT AriaWest International (“AriaWest”) and settled its arbitration proceeding with AriaWest. On January 20, 2004, TELKOM and PT Mitra Global Telekomunikasi Indonesia (“MGTI”) entered into an agreement to amend and restate the KSO Agreement with respect to Regional Division IV. Under this amendment agreement, for the remaining KSO period, TELKOM will be entitled at its sole discretion and expense to construct new telecommunications facilities in Regional Division IV and MGTI will receive fixed monthly payments derived from revenues generated by the Regional Division IV operations. For a more complete description of the foregoing transactions and TELKOM’s KSO arrangements, see Item 10. “Additional Information — C. Material Contracts” and Item 4. “Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Joint Operation Scheme (KSO).”
In 1999, the Government passed Telecommunications Law No. 36 which became effective in September of 2000. The Telecommunications Law provides key guidelines for industry reforms, including industry liberalization, facilitation of new entrants and enhanced competition. Under the prior telecommunications law, TELKOM and PT Indonesian Satellite Corporation (“Indosat”) maintained joint ownership in most telecommunications companies in Indonesia. The Governments reforms called for the progressive elimination of these joint shareholdings to promote competition. As a result, in 2001, TELKOM acquired Indosat’s 35% interest in Telkomsel, resulting in TELKOM owning 77.72% of the shares of Telkomsel and Indosat acquired TELKOM’s 22.5% interest in Satelindo and 37.7% interest in Lintasarta. In 2002, TELKOM sold 12.72% of Telkomsel to Singapore Telecom Mobile Pte Ltd (“SingTel Mobile”), resulting in TELKOM’s ownership being reduced to 65% of the shares of Telkomsel. For a more complete description of the foregoing transactions, see Item 10. “Additional Information — C. Material Contracts.”
Pursuant to the Telecommunications Law, the Government as of August 1, 2001 terminated the exclusive rights of TELKOM to provide fixed-line services in Indonesia and Indosat to provide international direct dial services. TELKOM’s exclusive right to provide domestic local service was terminated in August 2002 and TELKOM’s exclusive right to provide domestic long-distance service

B. Business Overview
General
TELKOM is the main provider of fixed-line telecommunications services in Indonesia and is the majority owner of Telkomsel, which is the largest Indonesian mobile cellular operator, as measured by subscribers and revenue. The Company also provides a wide range of other telecommunications services including interconnection, network, data and Internet services and other telecommunications services. TELKOM reports revenues in the following categories:
• | Fixed-line (which consists of fixed wireline and fixed wireless); | |
• | Cellular; | |
• | Joint Operation Scheme (KSO); | |
• | Interconnection; | |
• | Network; | |
• | Data and Internet; | |
• | Revenue Sharing Arrangements; and | |
• | Other Telecommunications-related Services (including revenues from telephone directory services). |
These revenue categories are all reported as part of the “Fixed Line” segment in the consolidated financial statements with the exception of the cellular business which is reported as a separate segment.
For 2003, no single customer, other than interconnection customers, accounted for more than 1% of TELKOM’s total operating revenues and TELKOM’s top 100 customers, other than interconnection customers, together accounted for more than 5% of its total operating revenues. For the purpose of calculating operating revenues, TELKOM treats each state-owned enterprise owned by the Government as a single customer.
TELKOM’s business does not experience significant seasonality.
Fixed-Line Services
Fixed-line services are comprised mainly of local and domestic long-distance services. TELKOM is the principal provider of fixed-line services in Indonesia. In 2003, TELKOM provided fixed-line services in Divisions I, II, III, V and VI. In 2003, revenues from fixed-line services in these divisions contributed Rp.8,896.9 billion (US$1,054.1 million), or 32.8% of total operating revenues. Beginning July 31, 2003, when TELKOM acquired KSO investor, PT AriaWest International (“AriaWest”), TELKOM began

Table of Contents
Fixed-line subscribers pay one-time installation charges, ongoing monthly subscription charges and usage charges for local and domestic long-distance services. Usage charges are generally uniform nationwide and are based on call distance, call duration and the time of day at which calls are made. In addition, subscribers are provided with a number of value-added features, such as voicemail and information services and billing and directory assistance, which are billed on a monthly basis.
TELKOM has historically been the principal provider of fixed-line services and Indosat has historically been the principal provider of international direct dial services in Indonesia. However, the Government as of August 1, 2002 has terminated TELKOM’s exclusive rights to provide local fixed-line services and Indosat’s exclusive rights to provide international direct dial services. On May 13, 2004, the Government issued TELKOM’s commercial license to provide IDD fixed-line services and Indosat’s commercial license to provide DLD fixed-line services. As a result, TELKOM and Indosat are or are expected to be engaged in competition with each other in the markets for these two services.
CDMA Fixed Wireless
In December 2002, TELKOM began offering a limited mobility (within a local area code) CDMA-based fixed wireless phone service under the brand name “TELKOMFlexi” for both fixed and portable handsets. TELKOM’s rollout of this service began in the three cities of Surabaya, Denpasar and Balikpapan and, as of December 31, 2003, was available in 38 cities. TELKOM’s rollout of this limited mobility fixed wireless service is occurring concurrently with its use of CDMA fixed wireless technology for the development of its fixed-line network. CDMA-based fixed wireless technology enables rapid development of telephone networks and the reduction of capital expenditures per line by reducing and often eliminating the need for layout of cables. TELKOM intends to continue to rapidly develop its CDMA-based fixed wireless network and expand its TELKOMFlexi service to other cities and regions in Indonesia. As of December 31, 2003, TELKOM had 396 BTSs and 815,647 line units deployed, of which 380 BTSs and 775,647 line units were financed by TELKOM and 16 BTSs and 40,000 line units were established under the BOT scheme (instead of the 53,900 that were originally planned). As of December 31, 2003, TELKOM had achieved sales of 467,933 TELKOMFlexi Line Units (consisting of 459,725 Line Units in non-BOT areas and 8,208 Line Units in BOT areas).
TELKOMFlexi revenues are reported under fixed-line services. These revenues are being reported as fixed-line revenues because this business is being conducted pursuant to TELKOM’s fixed-line license. See “— Regulation” below.
TELKOMFlexi subscribers have the option of postpaid and prepaid services. Postpaid subscribers pay one-time activation charges, ongoing monthly subscription charges and usage charges for local domestic-long distance and international services, which charges are generally the same as those paid by fixed-line subscribers. Prepaid subscribers purchase RUIM cards and refill vouchers in amounts of Rp.50,000, Rp.100,000 and Rp.150,000 and pay only usage charges, which are higher than those paid by postpaid subscribers. For prepaid services, a customer purchasing a Rp.80,000 RUIM card or a Rp.50,000 refill voucher is counted as a subscriber for two months, a Rp.100,000 voucher or refill is counted as a subscriber for three months and a Rp.150,000 voucher or refill is counted as a subscriber for four months. Each time a customer purchases a refill the aforementioned two, three and four month periods are recalculated as of the date the refill is activated.
TELKOMFlexi subscribers are also provided with a number of value-added features, such as SMS, voicemail and information services, such as billing and directory assistance. The revenues from these services are reported in the Data and Internet category. See “— Data and Internet Services” below.

IDD Services
TELKOM received its commercial license from the Government to provide IDD services on May 13, 2004. TELKOM began offering IDD fixed-line services, under the brand name “TIC 007,” on June 7, 2004. IDD revenues will be reported as international interconnection revenues because this service relies on interconnection between TELKOM and network operators in other countries. See ‘— Interconnection Services” below. Through its VoIP service TELKOM already provides international call services, although revenues from the VoIP service are recorded under “Data and Internet Services,” because this service relies on data transmission over the Internet. See “— Data and Internet Services” below.
Cellular Services
TELKOM provides its mobile cellular services mainly through its 65%-owned subsidiary Telkomsel. Cellular revenues grew by 35.9% from Rp.6,226.8 billion (US$695.7 million), or 29.9% of TELKOM’s total operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002 to Rp.8,458.8 billion (US$1,002.2 million), or 31.2% of TELKOM’s total operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2003. Over the same period, the total number of Telkomsel’s mobile cellular subscribers (pre-paid and post-paid) increased by 60% from approximately 6.0 million at the end of 2002 to approximately 9.6 million as of December 31, 2003. Of the total subscribers as of December 31, 2003, approximately 8.6 million were pre-paid and approximately 1 million were post-paid. Based on data developed by Telkomsel from various sources, Telkomsel had an estimated 51% share of the GSM cellular market in Indonesia as of December 31, 2003, compared to an estimated 52.8% market share as of December 31, 2002.
Telkomsel provided GSM cellular services in Indonesia through its own network and internationally through 217 international roaming partners in 135 countries as of the end of 2003. Telkomsel currently has the largest network of any of the cellular operators in Indonesia, providing coverage to over 85% of Indonesia’s population and more than 600 cities.
Telkomsel provides its subscribers with the option of a prepaid service under the brand name “SimPATI Nusantara,” or a postpaid service under the brand name “KartuHALO.” In May 2004, Telkomsel launched a new prepaid brand “Kartu As,” which will target customers who travel frequently within Indonesia by offering free domestic roaming and lower tariffs on local and domestic long-distance calls, with no difference between tariffs for calls during peak and off-peak hours. Telkomsel also offers tailor-made postpaid services for corporate customers and a postpaid family service under the brand name “HALOkeluarga.”
Generally, postpaid subscribers pay one-time activation charges, ongoing monthly subscription charges and usage charges for roaming, SMS, local, domestic-long distance and international services. Beginning April 2004, postpaid subscribers can also choose among the following options: (a) free national roaming; (b) 150 free SMS per month; or (c) waiver of the monthly subscription charge.
Prepaid customers purchase a starter package, the price of which starts at Rp.25,000 for Kartu As customers and Rp.50,000 for SimPATI customers, depending on the value of the pre-paid voucher included in the package. For Kartu As customers, the Rp.25,000 starter package contains a SIM card and a voucher worth Rp.25,000. For SimPATI customers, the Rp.50,000 starter package contains a SimPATI SIM card and a voucher worth Rp.35,000. SimPATI subscribers can buy pre-paid vouchers ranging in value from Rp.50,000 to Rp.1,000,000 to increase the value of their SIM cards, while Kartu As subscribers can buy prepaid vouchers of either Rp.20,000 or Rp.50,000. The customer’s prepaid account can be topped up electronically or by supplemental refill vouchers. When refill vouchers are purchased, subscribers call an automated telephone number and enter a 14-digit code printed on their voucher in order to activate or supplement their account with the new prepaid amount. The prepaid customer credits have a predetermined expiry date and irrespective of usage will expire on such date. Kartu As and SimPATI starter packages and refill vouchers may be purchased at any of Telkomsel’s service

Provided that they meet certain credit-related eligibility requirements, SimPATI customers may sign up for Telkomsel’s post-paid KartuHALO services at any time without having to change their telephone numbers. While Kartu As and SimPATI customers do not pay an activation fee or monthly subscription charges, they pay higher usage charges than postpaid subscribers.
Telkomsel also offers cellular users value added services such as SMS, international roaming, GPRS, MMS, multi-party calling, call forwarding, call waiting, caller number display and non-display, mobile banking, SMS to e-mail services and other personal mobile data services, the revenues from which are reported in the Data and Internet category.

TELKOM entered into agreements to establish the KSOs in 1995 and pursuant to such agreements transferred the right to operate Regional Divisions I, III, IV, VI and VII to private sector consortia, each of which involved one or more prominent international telecommunications operators. TELKOM retained the right to operate divisions II and V, its two largest divisions. The KSO Agreements provided for the relevant KSO partner to manage and operate the Regional Division for a fixed term, undertake the construction of a specified number of fixed lines and, at the end of the fixed term, transfer the existing and new telecommunications facilities in the region to TELKOM for a pre-determined agreed amount of compensation. The KSO Agreements also provided for TELKOM and the KSO partner to share revenues generated during the term of the agreement.
Following the Indonesian economic crisis that began in mid-1997, certain KSO partners experienced difficulties in fulfilling their obligations to TELKOM. In order to assist the KSO partners in meeting their obligations and to maintain the continuity of the KSO Agreements, all of the KSO partners entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with TELKOM on June 5, 1998 which reduced the minimum line construction obligations of the KSO partners, decreased TELKOM’s share of KSO revenues for 1998 and 1999 and cancelled TELKOM’s option to purchase the assets of the KSO before the end of the KSO period. Beginning January 1, 2000, the parties reverted to the terms of the original KSO agreements with respect to MTR and DTR payments. Due to the severity of the crisis, these

On May 17, 2001, TELKOM acquired 90.32% of the shares of its KSO partner for Regional Division VI, PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi (“Dayamitra”) and purchased a call option and granted a put option with respect to the remaining shares of Dayamitra, for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$130.8 million (excluding consultants’ fees of approximately US$3.3 million, which was capitalized as part of the acquisition cost). An initial payment of US$18.3 million was made on May 17, 2001, US$8.9 million was paid on August 10, 2001 as a post-closing, working capital adjustment to the purchase price and the balance of US$103.6 million was paid in eight quarterly installments of approximately US$13.0 million between August 17, 2001 and May 17, 2003.
On April 19, 2002, TELKOM entered into a Conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and paid up share capital of its KSO partner in Regional Division I, PT Pramindo Ikat Nusantara (“Pramindo”). Under the terms of the agreement, TELKOM agreed to acquire the shares of Pramindo in three tranches: in August 2002 (30%), September 2003 (15%) and December 2004 (55%). TELKOM has provided US$384.4 million in its accounts as the aggregate consideration for this transaction. Of the US$384.4 million, TELKOM made an initial payment of US$9.3 million (Rp.82 billion) in August 2002 and issued promissory notes (series I and II) dated August 2002 for the remaining amount. The agreement grants the selling shareholders a number of protective rights and is conditional upon TELKOM meeting its payment obligations under the promissory notes. The series I promissory notes had a face value of approximately US$372.2 million, while the aggregate amount of the series II promissory notes is estimated to be approximately US$2.9 million. The promissory notes were payable in ten unequal quarterly installments through December 2004 which were funded by monthly amounts transferred by TELKOM to an escrow account. Under the agreement, TELKOM also provided a loan of US$86 million (Rp.765 billion) to Pramindo which was used to repay loans from the IFC, one of the selling shareholders. TELKOM also made an additional payment of Rp.250 billion in respect of a working capital reimbursement to the selling shareholders. TELKOM obtained control of Pramindo as of the closing in August 2002. On January 28, 2004, TELKOM signed a short-term loan agreement with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. Jakarta in the amount of approximately US$130 million and on March 15, 2004 TELKOM used the loan proceeds to repurchase the outstanding promissory notes that were due on June 15, 2004, September 15, 2004 and December 15, 2004. This allowed TELKOM to accelerate the purchase of the remaining 55% of Pramindo that it did not yet own. As of the date of this Annual Report, TELKOM owns 100% of Pramindo.
On July 31, 2003, TELKOM acquired 100% of the shares of its KSO partner for Regional Division III, PT AriaWest International (“AriaWest”) for an aggregate consideration of US$38.67 million in cash (US$20 million of which was paid when the purchase agreement was signed on May 8, 2002 and the remaining US$18.67 million was paid on July 31, 2003) and US$109.1 million in promissory notes. The promissory notes, which are interest-free, are payable in 10 semi-annual installments. At the same time, in consideration of the release of AriaWest’s outstanding obligations to its lenders, TELKOM also repaid approximately US$99 million of AriaWest’s debt (including interest of US$25.0 million) on behalf of AriaWest and entered into a new loan agreement for approximately US$197 million with AriaWest’s lenders. TELKOM and AriaWest also entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which TELKOM and AriaWest irrevocably settled, discharged and released claims and counterclaims in their ICC arbitration proceeding and TELKOM agreed to pay a settlement amount of US$20 million. As a result of the acquisition of AriaWest and the settlement of the ICC arbitration in 2002, for the year ended December 31, 2002 TELKOM reversed the provision of Rp.511.9 billion which was previously made with respect to certain receivables from KSO Unit III and accrued the settlement amount of Rp.179.0 billion in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The ICC arbitration proceeding, which was settled as of July 31, 2003, involved claims by AriaWest that TELKOM was in material breach of provisions of the KSO Agreement with AriaWest based on, among other things, (i) the alleged loss of certain exclusive rights granted to AriaWest by the Government with respect to the provision of certain telecommunication services in West Java; (ii) the

Wireless Network |
Telkomsel.Since its incorporation in 1995, Telkomsel has been providing GSM cellular services throughout Indonesia through its own network. Telkomsel has the largest network coverage of any of the cellular operators in Indonesia, providing coverage to more than 85% of Indonesia’s population and more than 600 cities. Telkomsel currently operates a nationwide GSM/DCS cellular network using a total of 30 MHz of radio frequency bandwidth. This consists of 7.5 MHz in the 900 MHz band and 22.5 MHz in the 1800 MHz band, including the additional 15 MHz that was transferred from TELKOM to Telkomsel. Both networks operate as a single integrated dual band network. Telkomsel has rolled out GPRS services in several major cities in Sumatera, Java, Bali, Kalimantan and Sulawesi since October 2002. In February 2004, Telkomsel commenced technical testing in Jakarta of its enhanced data transmission service called “EDGE,” for Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution, and Telkomsel expects to commercially launch EDGE in a limited number of cities sometime during the second half of 2004.
The Telkomsel network is an integrated network of (i) base transceiver stations containing transmitters, receivers and other equipment that communicate by radio signals with cellular telephone handsets within the range of the base transceiver station, (ii) digital switch centers that route calls to the proper destinations and (iii) transmission facilities that link the digital switch centers to other cell sites. The various components of the network are connected primarily by microwave transmission, trunk lines owned by Telkomsel and other fixed lines. In addition, through agreements with TELKOM, Telkomsel leases certain of TELKOM’s facilities, including leased lines, integrated management system and information system facilities, land, sites and towers.
In 2003, Telkomsel expanded its network capacity by adding, among other equipment, 1,337 BTSs and 10,563 transmitting and receiving exchanges. As of December 31, 2003, Telkomsel’s digital network had 4,820 BTSs, 51 cellular switching centers (with the capacity to handle 14.5 million subscribers), 166 base station controllers and 38,624 transmitting and receiving exchanges.
For each of the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 Telkomsel made capital expenditures for the development and expansion of its cellular network of approximately US$351.2 million, US$536.8 million and US$633.7 million, respectively, based on the middle market spot rate for the Rupiah against the U.S. Dollar on December 31, 2003 of Rp.8,440= US$1.00. During 2003, Telkomsel budgeted capital expenditures for the development and expansion of its cellular network totaling approximately Rp.6,338.0 billion (US$704.2 million), against actual capital expenditures of approximately US$633.7 million.

Prior to 2002, TELKOM (through its business division, TELKOM Mobile) and Telkomsel, had been independently working on the construction of separate DCS 1800 networks. TELKOM had been granted 15 MHz of radio frequency bandwidth in the 1800 MHz band. In January 2002, Telkomsel entered into a co-operation agreement with TELKOM (the “Telkomsel Co-operation Agreement”), the purpose of which was to set the framework for the transfer of TELKOM’s mobile telecommunications business and its DCS 1800 license to Telkomsel and for Telkomsel to assume certain obligations and assets of TELKOM connected with the DCS 1800 network, including the assumption of TELKOM’s rights and obligations under a supply contract with Siemens. On April 3, 2002, pursuant to the Telkomsel Co-operation Agreement, Telkomsel purchased TELKOM’s assets relating to TELKOM Mobile and TELKOM transferred its TELKOM Mobile employees to Telkomsel. Telkomsel also assumed all of TELKOM’s rights and obligations under various contracts connected with its TELKOM Mobile business.
Under the terms of the Telkomsel Co-operation Agreement, TELKOM procured to have its DCS 1800 license cancelled and re-issued to Telkomsel so that Telkomsel would have 15 MHz of radio frequency in addition to its own 7.5 MHz of radio frequency in the 1800 MHz band. The MoC re-issued the license to Telkomsel on July 12, 2002.
CDMA Fixed Wireless.TELKOM began offering a limited mobility CDMA-based fixed wireless phone service under the brand name “TELKOMFlexi” in December 2002. As of December 31, 2003, TELKOMFlexi service was available in 38 cities. TELKOM’s rollout of this limited mobility fixed wireless service is occurring concurrent with its use of CDMA fixed wireless technology for the development of its fixed-line network. CDMA-based fixed wireless technology enables rapid development of telephone networks and the reduction of capital expenditures per line by reducing and often eliminating the need for layout of cables. TELKOM intends to continue to rapidly develop its CDMA-based fixed wireless network.
As of December 31, 2003, TELKOM had 396 BTSs and 815,647 line units deployed, of which 380 BTSs and 775,647 line units were financed by TELKOM and 16 BTSs and 40,000 line units were established under the BOT scheme (instead of the 53,900 that were originally planned). As of December 31, 2003, TELKOM had achieved sales of 467,933 TELKOMFlexi Line Units (consisting of 459,725 Line Units in non-BOT areas and 8,208 Line Units in BOT areas).
Data Networks
TELKOM began operating data network services in 1997 and has since continued to develop and expand its network progressively. As of December 31, 2003, TELKOM’s IP-based network covered most of the metropolitan areas of Indonesia, with points of presence (POP) in 132 locations. The IP-based network serves as the backbone network for high quality VPNs and for Internet service providers. TELKOM has installed remote access servers in 88 locations in Indonesia and offers dial-up Internet services under the name of “TELKOMNet Instant”. For corporate customers requiring high performance and secured virtual private network, TELKOM provides a premium service known as VPN Gold.

TELKOM-2 Satellite
TELKOM has signed a US$73.14 million contract with Orbital Sciences Corporation to build the TELKOM-2 satellite based on Orbital’s STAR-2 platform, to replace TELKOM’s existing Palapa B-4 satellite, whose operational lifespan expires in late 2004. The TELKOM-2 satellite is to have a capacity of 24 standard C-band transponders, with transponder specifications similar to those of the TELKOM-1 satellite. TELKOM-2 is to be designed for a 15 years in-orbit life and is expected to provide increased coverage of the Asian region and the Indian subcontinent compared to Palapa B-4. TELKOM believes that the satellite will support TELKOM’s network for voice, video and data communications.
The Company plans to launch TELKOM-2 between November 30, 2004 and December 30, 2004. On November 8, 2002, TELKOM signed a US$62.9 million agreement with Arianespace S.A., which covers the cost of launching TELKOM-2.
Capital Expenditures |
For more information on TELKOM’s principal capital expenditures, see Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capital Expenditures”.
Business Strategy
The Company’s vision is to become a leading InfoCom player in the region, with a mission to provide one-stop services with excellent quality and competitive price to customers and to manage its business using best practices, utilizing competitive advantages and maximizing synergies.
TELKOM believes that Indonesia’s telecommunications market remains underdeveloped with a penetration rate of approximately 3.54 lines per 100 inhabitants for fixed-lines and approximately 9 lines per 100 inhabitants for cellular as of December 31, 2003 based on projected population figures from the Central Bureau of Statistics. TELKOM believes that the strong demand for telecommunications services has largely been responsible for the growth of its fixed-line and wireless business in recent years and will continue to offer favorable growth opportunities in the future. TELKOM expects that fixed-line and wireless services will continue to provide the substantial majority of its operating revenues in the near term, although it plans to increase the proportion of its revenues derived from its other communications services. It has developed broad strategies to retain its existing customers, to acquire new and lost customers and to further penetrate the market, through customer relationship management, product leadership and diversification, pricing and one-gate distribution channels.

• | mitigate financing, commercial, operational, technical and capacity risks. |
TELKOM calls such financing techniques “pay as you grow.” As currently formulated, “pay as you grow” involves arrangements in which TELKOM and its equipment suppliers agree that a percentage of the contract cost will be paid up front (for example, 25%) and the balance will be paid once lines are put into service. TELKOM and its suppliers also agree to work together to plan and design networks, assess capacity requirements and determine timetables for procurement. TELKOM expects that only a relatively small number of equipment vendors will be invited to participate in “pay as you grow” programs and supply a substantial portion of TELKOM’s infrastructure and other equipment needs.

Indonesian Telecommunications Industry
Overview |
Since 1961, telecommunications services in Indonesia have been provided by a succession of state-owned companies. As in other developing economies, the expansion and modernization of telecommunications infrastructure play an important role in Indonesia’s general economic development. Moreover, the nation’s large population and rapid economic growth have led to significant unmet demand for telecommunications services.
The Government has extensive regulatory authority and supervisory control over the telecommunications sector, primarily through the MoC. The Government has historically maintained a monopoly over telecommunications services within Indonesia. Recent reforms have attempted to create a regulatory framework to promote competition and accelerate the development of telecommunications facilities and infrastructure. The regulatory reforms embodied in new regulations, which came into effect on September 8, 2000, are intended to increase competition by removing monopolistic controls, increase the transparency and predictability of the regulatory framework, create opportunities for strategic alliances with foreign partners and facilitate the entrance of new participants to the industry. The deregulation of the telecommunications sector is closely linked to the national economic recovery program supported by the IMF.
Fixed-line and cellular penetration are low in Indonesia by international standards. As of December 31, 2003, Indonesia had an estimated fixed-line penetration of 3.54% and an estimated cellular penetration of 9%, based on estimated population figures for 2003.

TELKOM believes that there are a number of trends in the telecommunications industry in Indonesia which include:
• | Continued growth.TELKOM believes the telecommunications industry will continue to grow, as continued development of Indonesia’s economy is expected to increase demand for telecommunications services. | |
• | Migration to wireless networks.TELKOM anticipates that wireless services will become increasingly popular as a result of wider coverage areas and improving wireless network quality, declining handset costs and the proliferation of prepaid services. | |
• | Increasing competition.TELKOM anticipates an increasingly competitive Indonesian telecommunications market as a result of the Government’s regulatory reforms. |
Regulations
Overview |
The Government exercises both regulatory authority and supervisory control over the telecommunications industry in Indonesia. The legal framework for the telecommunications industry is based on specific laws, government regulations and ministerial decrees enacted and issued from time to time. The Government currently regulates the telecommunications sector through the MoC. The MoC is responsible for the overall supervision and regulation of the industry. Within the MoC, various directorates and bureaus carry out specific regulatory duties. The MoC has authority to issue implementing decrees, which are typically broad in scope, thereby giving the MoC considerable latitude. Pursuant to such decrees, the MoC defines the scope of exclusivity, formulates and approves tariffs, determines USOs and controls many factors affecting TELKOM’s competitive position, operations and financial condition. The MoC, as regulator, has the authority to grant new licenses for the establishment of new joint ventures and other arrangements, particularly in the telecommunications sector.
Prior to March 1998, the Ministry of Tourism, Post and Telecommunications (the “MTPT”) was responsible for the regulation of telecommunications in Indonesia, but, with reorganization of the Government following the 1999 General Elections, the MoC was given the regulatory responsibilities. Through the DGPT, a directorate under the MoC, the Government regulates the radio frequency spectrum allocation for all operators, including TELKOM, which are required to obtain a license from the MoC for each of their services utilizing radio frequency spectrum. All telecommunications operators are also required to pay for radio frequency spectrum usage. The Government also requires all telecommunications operators to pay a concession license fee of 1% of its collected operating revenues.
The overall program of telecommunications sector deregulation is closely linked to the national economic recovery program supported by the IMF. The national plan is documented in the Memorandum of Economic and Financial Policies (the “MEFP”), as further clarified in the Letters of Intent to the IMF in January and May 2000. The main focus of the MEFP is to stabilize the economy and regain trust through a comprehensive plan based on:
• | Deregulation; | |
• | Promoting competition; | |
• | Liberalization; | |
• | Restructuring; | |
• | Improving market access; and | |
• | Introducing market-oriented regulations. |
The Government’s telecommunications reform policy is formulated in its “Blueprint of the Indonesian Government’s Policy on Telecommunications”, as contained in the MoC’s Decree
49
Table of Contents
• | Increase the sector’s performance in the era of globalization; | |
• | Liberalize the sector with a competitive structure by removing monopolistic controls; | |
• | Increase transparency and predictability of the regulatory framework; | |
• | Create opportunities for national telecommunications operators to form strategic alliances with foreign partners; and | |
• | Create business opportunities for small and medium enterprises; and | |
• | Facilitate new job opportunities. |
The recent regulatory reforms of the Indonesian telecommunications sector have their foundation in Telecommunications Law No. 36 of 1999, which came into effect on September 8, 2000 (the “Telecommunications Law”).
On September 15, 2003 the Government issued the Economic Policy Package pursuant to Presidential Instruction No. 15 dated September 15, 2003. The Government intends to improve efficiency, capacity and equity in telecommunications by putting in place the infrastructure for an additional 3 million fixed lines and 43,000 fixed lines in remote areas. Further, on March 30, 2004, the MoC issued Announcement No.PM.2 2004 regarding the Implementation of the Telecommunication Sector Restructuring, which stated, among other matters, that the Government will require operators to install a minimum of 1.4 million lines in 2004 and 10.7 million lines by 2008.
Telecommunications Law |
The Telecommunications Law provides key guidelines for industry reforms, including industry liberalization, facilitation of new entrants and enhanced transparency and competition. Under the Indonesian regulatory framework, the Telecommunication Law only outlines the substantive principles of the subject matter. Detailed provisions implementing the Telecommunications Law will be provided in the implementation regulations consisting of Government regulations, ministerial decrees and decrees of the Director General of Post and Telecommunication.
The new Telecommunications Law eliminates the concept of “organizing entities”, thus ending TELKOM’s and Indosat’s status as organizing entities with responsibility for coordinating domestic and international telecommunications services, respectively, for the industry. To enhance competition, the Telecommunications Law specifically prohibits monopolistic practices and unfair competition among telecommunications operators.
The role of the Government is to become that of an impartial policy maker and supervisor of the telecommunications sector. As stipulated in the Telecommunications Law and in order to ensure transparency in the regulatory process, an independent regulatory body was established on July 11, 2003 to regulate, monitor and control the telecommunication industry. The Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Body (“ITRB”) is comprised of officials from the DGPT and the Committee of Telecommunication Regulations and is headed by the Director General of Port and Telecommunication Services. Members of the Committee of Telecommunication Regulations were appointed on December 19, 2003.
New Service Categories |
The Telecommunications Law classifies telecommunications providers into three categories: (i) telecommunications network providers; (ii) telecommunications services providers; and (iii) special telecommunications providers. Under these categories, telecommunications network operations and/or provision of telecommunications services may be carried out by any legal entity established for that purpose.
50
Table of Contents
Under the Telecommunications Law, licenses are required for each category of telecommunications service. A telecommunications network provider is licensed to own and/or operate a telecommunications network. A telecommunications service provider is licensed to provide services by leasing network capacity from other network providers. Special telecommunications licenses are required for providers of private telecommunications services for purposes relating to broadcasting and national security interests. MoC Decree No. KM 20/2001 (as amended by Decree No. KM 29/2004) and MoC Decree No. KM 21/2001 (as amended by Decree No. KM 30/2004) implement the provisions of the Telecommunications Law regarding these new categories of telecommunications network and services operations.
Modern License |
Under the Telecommunications Law the existing licenses for telecommunication services will be replaced with the so-called “Modern License.” In addition to granting the license holder the right to provide telecommunication services, the Modern License also imposes certain mandatory obligations on the license holder. These obligations include, among others, construction obligations, service obligations and Universal Service Obligations (“USO”). The license holder is required to fulfill the mandatory obligations set forth in its Modern License and the failure to comply with such obligations may result in the revocation of its Modern License. The draft implementation regulations relating to the Modern License have been proposed but not yet enacted. Once the regulations have been enacted, TELKOM’s separate licenses to provide fixed-line services, DLD services and IDD services will be combined into a single license.
Exclusivity |
Under the previous regulatory regime that precedes the Telecommunications Law, TELKOM was granted a monopoly to provide domestic local fixed-line telecommunications services until December 31, 2010 and domestic long-distance telecommunications services until December 31, 2005. Indosat and Satelindo were granted a duopoly for exclusive provision of basic international telecommunications services until 2004.
The Telecommunications Law did not expressly terminate the existing exclusivity rights of TELKOM, Indosat and Satelindo. In an effort to support the undertakings of TELKOM and Indosat during their respective initial public offerings and to maintain the Government’s credibility among foreign investors, the Government announced that termination of the exclusivity rights will be subject to agreement between the relevant incumbents and the Government, whereby incumbents will be eligible for compensation in exchange for early termination of these exclusivity rights.
On August 1, 2001, the Government through the DGPT, announced the early termination of TELKOM’s and Indosat’s exclusivity rights for local and domestic-long distance telecommunications services (in the case of TELKOM) and IDD (in the case of Indosat), through MoC Decree No. 21/2001 (“Operation of Telecommunications Services”). The announcement stated that it is the Government’s intention that Indosat would receive a license to provide local telephone services and a license to provide domestic long-distance and that TELKOM would receive a license to provide IDD services at the end of 2003. The Government appointed an appraiser to resolve differences of opinion regarding the amount of compensation to be provided to TELKOM and Indosat for early termination of their exclusivity rights. On March 30, 2004, the MoC announced that the Government shall pay to TELKOM (including its KSO Partners) Rp.478 billion (net of taxes) as compensation, which amount shall be paid gradually from funds allocated in the State Budget for the MoC subject to approval by Parliament.
As affirmed by the Government, TELKOM would receive a commercial license to provide IDD services, which was issued on May 13, 2004. Indosat would receive a license to provide local telephone service commercial license, which was issued in August 2002, and a commercial license to provide domestic long-distance services by the end of 2003, which was issued on May 13, 2004.

Competition |
Despite the termination of exclusivity rights, the Government does not prohibit or discourage operators from attaining a dominant position with regard to telecommunications services. The Government, however, does prohibit operators from abusing a dominant position. On March 11, 2004, the MoC issued Decree No. 33/2004, which sets forth measures to prohibit the abuse of their dominant position by network and service providers. Dominant providers are determined by the MoC based on factors such as their scope of business, coverage area of services and whether they control a particular market. Specifically, the Decree prohibits a dominant provider from engaging in practices such as dumping, cross-subsidies, compelling consumers to use such provider’s services (to the exclusion of competitors) and hampering mandatory interconnection (including discriminating against specific providers).
Interconnection |
Pursuant to the express prohibitions on activities that may create monopolistic practices and unfair business competition, the Telecommunications Law provides for fair interconnection of networks to allow “any to any connectivity”. Interconnection fees are to be agreed by each network provider and calculated in a transparent manner. The Telecommunications Law provides guidance with respect to the interconnection scheme between telecommunication network providers. Currently, interconnection costs paid for interconnection with TELKOM’s fixed-line network vary, depending on the type of interconnection operator (e.g., IDD, cellular, fixed wireline, fixed wireless or satellite), and are determined in accordance with MoC Decree No. 37/1999 (IDD), MoC Decree No. 46/1998 (Cellular), MoC Decree No. KU506/1997 (Fixed Wireline and Fixed Wireless) and MoC Decree No. 30/2000. For IDD and satellite operators, interconnection costs are based on termination and origination charges. Interconnection costs for fixed wireline and fixed wireless operators are based on revenue sharing fixed under Decree No. KU506/1997. Interconnection costs paid by mobile cellular operators are based principally on negotiations between the network providers and in the event no agreement is reached by the providers, the interconnection costs are to be determined in accordance with MoC Decree No. 46/1998.
On March 11, 2004, the MoC issued Decree No. 32/2004, which stated that cost-based interconnection fees shall be applicable beginning January 1, 2005. The MoC is in the process of preparing regulations for the adjustment of interconnection arrangements with the assistance of independent consultants. These preparations include: determining the amount of interconnection fees, cost accounting standards, reference interconnection offer (RIO) and the procedure for resolving interconnection disputes.
DLD and IDD Services |
Historically, DLD and IDD services could only be offered by TELKOM and Indosat, respectively (See — “Exclusivity”). After the Government terminated the exclusivity rights of TELKOM and Indosat, it stated its intention to allow TELKOM to offer IDD services and Indosat to offer DLD services, as well as allowing greater competition in the market for DLD and IDD services. On March 11, 2004, the MoC issued Decree No. KM 28/2004, Decree No. KM 29/2004 and Decree No. KM 30/2004, which implement the new policy regarding IDD and DLD services. Under these Decrees:
• | DLD and IDD network operators may offer DLD and IDD service as part of basic telephony service; | |
• | Each DLD and IDD operator must use a distinct 3-digit access code for its DLD and IDD service; | |
• | Customers may freely select their DLD and IDD providers; | |
• | DLD and IDD fixed telecommunication network operators (currently only TELKOM and Indosat) may now provide DLD and IDD basic telephony services; and |
52
Table of Contents
• | DLD and IDD service providers are entitled to determine retail rates for customers and provide such services to their customers. |
TELKOM has been granted authority to use “007” as its IDD access code and is in the process of determining the 3-digit access code for its DLD services.
Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Body |
On July 11, 2003, the Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Body (“ITRB”) was established as the implementing agency of the Telecommunications Law. Under MoC Decree No. KM 31/2003, the ITRB is authorized to regulate, monitor and control the operations of the telecommunications sector. The ITRB is composed of officials from the Directorate General Postal and Telecommunication and the Committee of Telecommunication Regulations. Combined with further privatization of TELKOM and Indosat, the establishment of such an independent regulatory body is intended to reduce the Government’s role in the telecommunications industry from that of being the telecommunications industry’s financier, operator, regulator and licenser to becoming primarily the industry’s licenser and regulator.
In 2003 the MoC also announced the establishment of the Telecommunication Traffic Clearing System (“SKTT”), which will assist the ITRB in the performance of its functions and which will be responsible for all interconnection matters. It is expected that through the SKTT, the ITRB will obtain accurate data about the profile of interconnection traffic among operators and calculate interconnection traffic so as to ensure transparency in the charging of interconnection fees. The actual operation of the SKTT will be undertaken by PT Pratama Jaringan Nusantara, a private entity selected by the MoC on February 18, 2004, which will act under the supervision and control of the ITRB. The terms and conditions regarding the operations and activities of the SKTT are currently being negotiated among the MoC, the ITRB and the operators.
Consumer Protection |
Under the Telecommunications Law, each operator must provide guarantees for consumer protection in relation to quality of services, usage or service fees, compensation and other matters. The law also allows customers injured or damaged by negligent operations to file claims against negligent providers.
Universal Service Obligations |
Under the Telecommunications Law, all telecommunications network operators and service providers are bound by a Universal Service Obligation (“USO”), which requires such network operators and telecommunication service providers to make contribution towards providing universal telecommunication facilities and infrastructure or other forms of compensation. On March 11, 2004, the MoC issued Decree No. 34/2004, which sets forth the basic policies underlying the USO program. The decree stated that USO facilities must meet the following minimum requirements: (a) the facilities should meet the standards of basic telephony services, including facsimile and dial-up Internet services; (b) the facilities should provide basic public telephony services, with domestic long distance, international and mobile access; (c) the facilities should provide telecommunication services that are capable to transmit and receive data; (d) the facilities should be accessible for emergency services; and (e) the facilities should utilize equipment that has been certified by the Director General of Post and Telecommunication. Tariffs for services provided under the USO program must be the same as those for similar services provided outside of the USO program. Further, telecommunications operators in Indonesia are now required to contribute 0.75% of gross revenues (with due consideration for bad debt and interconnection charges) for USO development. The MoC is in the process of drafting detailed regulations to further implement the USO program.

Implementing Regulations |
To date, the Government has issued several implementing regulations relating to the Telecommunications Law, including Government Regulation No. 52/2000 (“Operation of Telecommunications”) and Government Regulation No. 53/2000 (“Utilization of Radio Frequency Spectrum and Satellite Orbit”), as well as ministerial decrees, including No. KM 20/2001 (“Operation of Telecommunications Networks”), No. KM 21/2001 (“Operation of Telecommunications Services”), No. KM 12/2002 (“Completing MPPT Decree No. KM. 79/PR-301/MPPT-95 on Procedures for the Tariff Adjustment of Domestic Basic Telecommunications Services”), No. KM 40/2002 (“Guidance for Tariff Implementation of State Revenue on Tax from Cost of Utilization Right of Radio Frequency Spectrum”), No. KM 23/2002 (“Internet Telephony Service for Public”), No. KM 31/2003 (“Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Body”), No. KM 29/2004 (“Amendments to the Decree of the Minister of Communication No. 20 of 2001 on the Provision of Telecommunication Network”), No. KM 30/2004 (“Amendments to the Decree of the Minister of Communication No. 21 of 2001 on the provision of Telecommunication Services”), No. KM 31/2004 (“Amendment to the Decree of the Minister of Communication No. 23/2002 on the Provisions of Internet Telephony Services for Public Needs”), No. KM 32/2004 (“Interconnection Charges for Telecommunication”), No. KM 33/2004 (“Supervision of Fair Competition in the Provision of Fixed Network and Basic Telephony Services”), No. KM 34/2004 (“Universal Service Obligation”) and No. KM 35/2004 (“Provision of Wireless Local Fixed Network with Limited Mobility”). The MoC and DGPT are in the process of finalizing a number of additional ministerial decrees that are intended to implement other aspects of the Telecommunications Law, including decrees relating to special telecommunications operations and implementation of the cost-based interconnection system.
Satellite regulation |
The international satellite industry is highly regulated. In addition to being subject to domestic licensing and regulation in Indonesia, the placement and operation of TELKOM’s satellites are also subject to registration with the Radio Communications Bureau of the International Telecommunications Union and the Intelsat consultation process.
Fixed Wireless Access regulation |
On March 11, 2004, the MoC issued Decree No. 35/2004, which provides that only fixed network operators holding licenses issued by the MoC and using radio frequency access networks may offer fixed wireless access service. In addition, the decree states that each fixed wireless access provider must provide basic telephony services. However, a fixed wireless access provider can only provide fixed wireless access service within its designated area code. Further, fixed wireless access service may not incorporate roaming and auto mutation features. Accordingly, customers cannot use their fixed wireless access phones to make or receive calls when they are located outside their respective area codes. Fixed wireless access providers are also required to charge rates that are the same as the rates for fixed line operators.
Competition
Fixed-line |
TELKOM is the main provider of fixed-line services in Indonesia. Generally, all customers must obtain fixed-line services from TELKOM and telecommunications operators must interconnect with TELKOM’s fixed-line network in order to provide access to fixed-line and cellular subscribers. With the enactment of the Telecommunications Law and the announced intention of the Government to terminate TELKOM’s exclusive right to provide fixed-line services, it is expected that the market will be open to full competition.
On August 1, 2001, the Government through the MoC, announced the early termination of TELKOM’s exclusivity rights for local and domestic-long distance telecommunications services. The

In June 2004, Indosat launched its own CDMA fixed wireless service, under the brand name “StarOne.” As of the date of this Annual Report, Indosat was only offering this new service in Surabaya but was expected to expand service coverage to other Indonesian cities.
The end of TELKOM’s exclusive right to provide fixed-line services is expected to result in direct competition between TELKOM and Indosat for fixed-line customers and over time reduce the need for other telecommunications operators to interconnect with TELKOM’s fixed-line network.
TELKOM also faces direct and indirect competition from mobile cellular services, fixed cellular services, SMS, VoIP services and e-mail. TELKOM expects that the increasing uses of these services may adversely affect future demand for its fixed-line services.
Cellular |
The cellular market in Indonesia is currently dominated by Telkomsel, Indosat and Excelcomindo. As of December 31, 2003, these nationwide GSM operators collectively had over 98% of the Indonesian cellular market. The number of cellular subscribers in Indonesia totaled approximately 11.4 million at the end of 2002 and 18.8 million at the end of 2003, representing an annual growth rate of 65% during that period. Despite this rapid growth, the cellular penetration rate in Indonesia, at approximately 9% at the end of 2003, has remained relatively low compared to many other countries. During the last two years, competition among cellular operators has intensified.
As part of the elimination of TELKOM’s and Indosat’s cross-shareholdings in several telecommunications companies in 2001, TELKOM sold its 22.5% interest in Satelindo to Indosat and Indosat sold its 35% interest in Telkomsel to TELKOM. This has resulted in the cellular market becoming more competitive as contemplated by the Blueprint and the Telecommunications Law.
GSM mobile cellular operators compete principally on the basis of pricing, brand, network coverage, distribution, technology, value-added services and service quality. TELKOM believes that Telkomsel is able to compete effectively in the Indonesian cellular market due to the quality and coverage of its mobile cellular network and the strength of its brand name.
TELKOM’s new CDMA-based fixed wireless phone service, TELKOMFlexi, which offers limited mobility and charges customers at PSTN tariff rates that are substantially lower than tariffs for cellular services, may over time offer a competitive alternative to GSM services and attract Telkomsel customers that prefer lower tariff rates in exchange for limited mobility.
As of December 31, 2003, Telkomsel remained the largest national licensed provider of GSM services in Indonesia, with approximately 9.6 million cellular subscribers and a market share of approximately 51.0%, which was slightly less than its approximately 52.8% market share as of December 31, 2002. Indosat, as a result of its merger with Satelindo, was the second largest provider with approximately 5.99 million cellular subscribers and a market share of approximately 31.9% as of December 31, 2003. Excelcomindo had approximately 2.95 million subscribers and a market share of approximately 15.7% as of December 31, 2003. In addition to the nationwide GSM operators, a number of smaller regional GSM, analog and CDMA cellular providers operate in Indonesia.

IDD |
On August 1, 2001, the Government through the DGPT, announced the early termination of Indosat’s exclusivity rights for IDD. The announcement stated the Government’s intention that TELKOM would receive a commercial license to provide IDD services by the end of 2003. Although TELKOM only received its commercial license on May 13, 2004, it had already made necessary preparations to provide IDD services even prior to the receipt of such license and on June 7, 2004 TELKOM began offering IDD fixed-line services to customers. TELKOM has upgraded some switching to have International Gateway capabilities in Batam, Jakarta and Surabaya. These gateways have received certificates of operation (sertifikat ULO) from the DGPT. In order to connect with overseas operators, TELKOM has built two microwave links to connect Batam-Singapore and Batam-Pangerang (Malaysia). In addition, TELKOM, SingTel and CAT developed the TIS submarine cable system in 2003 connecting Batam, Singapore and Thailand. TELKOM has also signed an agreement with Telekom Malaysia Berhad for the deployment and maintenance of a new submarine optical cable to connect Dumai (Indonesia) to Melaka (Malaysia), which is expected to be completed by the end of 2004. TELKOM also extended its international cable by purchasing bandwidth capacity to connect with Hong Kong and TELKOM utilizes this capacity to connect to other countries, such as the United States. TELKOM is developing the ground segment to connect to the Intelsat Satellite. As a new player in IDD, TELKOM cooperates with some global operators to get direct or indirect connection to reach all offshore destinations. All these preparations have allowed TELKOM to begin offering customers IDD fixed-line services on June 7, 2004.
VoIP |
TELKOM formally launched its VoIP services in September 2002. VoIP uses data communications to transfer voice traffic over the Internet, which usually provides substantial cost savings to subscribers. In addition to TELKOM, Excelcomindo, Indosat, Atlasat, Gaharu and PT Swaguna Widya Pratama provide VoIP services in Indonesia. Other unlicensed operators also provide VoIP services that may be accessed through the Internet as well as from software that allows PC-to-PC voice communications

Table of Contents
VoIP operators compete primarily on the basis of pricing and service quality. Certain VoIP operators have started offering services such as budget calls and prepaid calling cards, which is expected to result in greater competition among VoIP operators.
Satellite |
In recent years, competition in the Asia-Pacific satellite business has been intense. Companies in this business compete primarily on coverage power, product offerings and price. The Indonesian satellite industry is loosely regulated and in practice operates in accordance with an “open-sky” policy. This means that Indonesian satellite operators must compete with foreign satellite operators.
Other |
During the last three years, competition with respect to multimedia, Internet and data communications-related services has intensified principally due to the issuance of new licenses as a result of the deregulation of the Indonesian telecommunications industry. TELKOM expects competition to continue to intensify. Multimedia, Internet and data communications-related service providers in Indonesia compete principally on the basis of price, range of services provided, network quality, network coverage and customer service quality.
Licenses
The Telecommunications Law requires telecommunication network operators and telecommunication service operators, including TELKOM, to obtain licenses to operate telecommunications networks and provide telecommunications services.
Fixed-line.Currently, TELKOM provides local and domestic long-distance fixed-line services based on Government Regulation No. 25/1991 and Government Regulation No. 8/1993, which permits TELKOM to provide basic and non-basic fixed-line telecommunications. Based on MoC Decree No. KM 39/1993 concerning basic telecommunication operation, TELKOM was permitted to enter into joint operation schemes (KSO) with its existing KSO partners for the provision of fixed-line services in their respective regions. The Government has amended certain of TELKOM’s fixed-line licenses to comply with the new Telecommunication Law and TELKOM has also received its Modern License. TELKOM also provides its fixed wireless services pursuant to its authorization to provide fixed-line services and applies PSTN tariffs for this service, which are substantially lower than those for cellular services. TELKOM’s ability to provide fixed wireless services at PSTN tariff rates may be challenged by regulators, other cellular operators and cellular trade associations. See Item 3. “Key Information — D. Risk Factors — TELKOM’s regulators and other telecommunications operators may challenge TELKOM’s ability to apply PSTN tariffs to its new CDMA-based fixed wireless phone service, which is marketed under the brand name TELKOMFlexi.”
Cellular.Telkomsel currently holds licenses to operate a nationwide GSM mobile cellular telephone network, to use 7.5 MHz of radio frequency bandwidth in the 900 MHz band and to use 22.5 MHz of radio frequency bandwidth in the 1800 MHz band. Telkomsel also holds licenses from the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board that permit Telkomsel to develop cellular services with national coverage, including the expansion of its network capacity. In addition, Telkomsel holds permits and licenses from and registrations with certain regional governments and/or governmental agencies, primarily in connection with its operations in such regions, the properties it owns and/or the construction and use of its base transceiver stations.
IDD.TELKOM received its commercial license to provide IDD services on May 13, 2004 pursuant to the terms of MoC Decree No. KP 162/2004.

VoIP.TELKOM also holds a comprehensive license to provide VoIP services, which it received in May 2002.
Tariffs and Interconnection Charges
The Government divides tariffs into two categories:
• | Tariffs for the provision of telecommunications services; and | |
• | Tariffs for provision of telecommunications networks. |
Tariffs for the Provision of Telecommunications Services |
Generally, the MoC sets the maximum tariffs that can be charged for telecommunications services in Indonesia. Telecommunications operators may charge customers at rates below the maximum tariff, although most operators tend to charge at the maximum rate. In this regard, TELKOM’s operating divisions have authority to make adjustments to prices based on specific guidelines fixed by the MoC.
Fixed-line Tariffs |
Fixed-line tariffs consist of installation, monthly subscription and usage charges. Notwithstanding the Government’s intention to increase fixed-line tariffs in recent years, public opposition has led to TELKOM maintaining its fixed-line tariffs at the levels established on February 1, 2002. Fixed-line tariffs were also not changed in 2000 and 2001 but were reduced from the announced tariff increase of 24% to 15% in 1999 due to public opposition. See Item 3. “Key Information — D. Risk Factors — TELKOM operates in a legal and regulatory environment that is undergoing significant reforms and such reforms may adversely affect TELKOM’s business.”
The Government establishes fixed-line tariffs by reference to a price cap formula that calculates the maximum average percentage increase in fixed-line tariffs for a particular year. The maximum increase equals the Indonesian Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the preceding year, as published by the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, minus an efficiency factor (the “X-factor”), which the Government determines by taking into consideration certain factors including improvements in the cost efficiency of the services resulting from technological improvements, management efficiency, changes in the Rupiah-U.S. Dollar exchange rate, the interests of affected telecommunications operators and the purchasing power of customers.
In calculating the maximum total percentage increase in tariffs for a particular year, the tariff components for installation, monthly charges and usage charges are weighted in proportion to the contribution made to total revenue of those services (basket revenues) in the prior year. The weighted average increase in prices charged for the services for any year must be equal to or less than the price cap percentage. In addition to tariff increases, the tariff components can also be “rebalanced” from time to time such that the tariffs for monthly and usage charges increase at different rates or certain tariffs decrease while others increase.
On January 29, 2002, the MoC announced that fixed-line tariffs would be increased by an average of 45.49% over three years. Effective February 1, 2002, the MoC increased fixed-line tariffs by a weighted average of 15%. Although fixed-line tariffs were expected to be increased again effective January 1, 2003, public opposition following the announcement by TELKOM of tariff increases led to the suspension on January 16, 2003 of the implementation of such increases.

VoIP Tariffs |
Charges for VoIP services may be freely determined by VoIP operators. TELKOM has launched its VoIP services, which currently consists of TELKOM Global-017 and its cheaper alternative, TELKOMSave. TELKOM believes that the tariff for TELKOM Global-017 service and the TELKOMSave service are approximately 40% and 60%, respectively, of the tariff charged by IDD operators in Indonesia.
Kiosk phone Tariffs |
Charges for kiosk phones may be freely determined by operators. Kiosk phones are public phones that are operated by third-parties. TELKOM gains 70% of basic tariff charged by operators to its customers on calls placed from kiosk phones.
On August 7, 2002, the Government enacted a new regulation, MoC Decree No. 46/2002, relating to the kiosk-phone business. The Decree provides that (i) local and long distance domestic phone calls shall generate at a minimum 30% of the kiosk phones’ revenue; (ii) international phone calls shall generate at a minimum 8% of the kiosk phones’ revenue; and (iii) airtime from the cellular operators shall generate at a minimum 10% of the kiosk phones’ revenue.

Tariffs for Other Services |
The amount of the tariffs for telephony and other multimedia services are determined by the service provider by taking into account the expenditures and market price. The Government only determines the tariff formula for basic telephony services, while there is no stipulation for the tariff of other services.
Tariffs for Interconnection and Access |
The Government currently establishes the percentage of tariffs to be received by each operator in respect of calls that transit multiple networks. The Telecommunications Law and Government Regulation No. 52 of 2000 provides for the implementation of a new policy to replace the current revenue sharing policy. Under the new policy, which has not yet been implemented, the operator of

Interconnection with Fixed-line Network |
Currently, the Government’s National Fundamental Technical Plan set forth in Decree 4 of 2000 sets out the technical requirements and routing plans for interconnection of the networks of various telecommunications operators among themselves and with TELKOM’s fixed-line network. Under the National Fundamental Technical Plan, all operators are permitted to interconnect with TELKOM’s fixed-line network for access thereto and to other networks, such as international gateways and the networks of other cellular operators. In addition, cellular operators may interconnect directly with other networks without connecting to TELKOM’s fixed-line network. The fees for interconnection within TELKOM’s fixed-line network are currently set forth in Decree No. 506/ 1997, Decree No. 46/ 1998, Decree No. 37/1999 and Decree No. 30/2000, although cost-based interconnection fees are to be charged beginning January 1, 2005 and TELKOM expects that the current fees may be adjusted.
Cellular Interconnection |
In respect of local interconnection calls between a cellular network and TELKOM’s fixed-line network, TELKOM receives a share of the local interconnection call tariff equal to the local fixed-line usage tariff (50% of the prevailing tariff for local pulse per minute).
The current Interconnection Decree, effective April 1, 1998, assumes that it is possible for long-distance calls to be carried by more than one network. Pursuant to the Interconnection Decree, for domestic long-distance (“DLD”) calls which originate on TELKOM’s fixed-line network, TELKOM is entitled to retain a portion of the prevailing DLD tariff, which ranges from 40% of the tariff in cases where the entire DLD portion is carried by a cellular operator up to 85% of the tariff in cases where the entire DLD portion is carried by TELKOM’s fixed-line network. For DLD calls that originate from a cellular subscriber, TELKOM is entitled to retain a portion of the prevailing DLD tariff, which ranges from 25% of the tariff in cases where the call originates from a cellular subscriber, transits TELKOM’s fixed-line network and terminates with another cellular subscriber with the entire DLD portion carried by a cellular operator, up to 85% of the tariff in cases where the entire DLD portion is carried by TELKOM’s fixed-line network and terminates on TELKOM’s fixed-line network. As discussed above, however, cost-based interconnection fees will be charged beginning on January 1, 2005 and TELKOM expects that the current fees may be adjusted. At present, the manner in which such cost-based charges will be computed is being determined by the MoC.
Fixed Wireless Interconnection |
Fixed wireless networks may interconnect to TELKOM’s fixed-line network at TELKOM’s gateway. Currently, PT Bakrie Telecom (formerly Ratelindo) is the only other fixed wireless operators in Indonesia. Local calls between TELKOM’s fixed-line network and Ratelindo’s network are operated on a “sender keeps all” basis. For DLD calls that originate on Ratelindo’s network and transit TELKOM’s fixed-line network, TELKOM receives 35% of the prevailing DLD tariff from such calls. For DLD calls that originate on TELKOM’s fixed-line network, TELKOM retains 65% of the revenue from such calls. However, cost-based interconnection fees will be charged beginning on January 1, 2005 and TELKOM expects that the current fees may be adjusted.

Fixed Wireline Interconnection |
Since September 1, 1998, TELKOM has been receiving a share in Batam Bintan Telekomunikasi (“BBT”), which is a local operator with a special coverage area on Batam Island, for each successful call that transits or terminates on TELKOM’s fixed-line network. Under the interconnection agreement, TELKOM receives 75% of the prevailing DLD tariff for DLD calls that originate and terminate on TELKOM’s fixed-line network. For local interconnection calls, revenues are shared on a “sender keeps all” basis. For calls originating from BBT and terminating at a cellular network and vice versa which transit through TELKOM’s fixed-line network, TELKOM receives 50% of the local interconnection call tariff which amounts to 50% of the prevailing tariff for local pulse per minute for local calls and 60% of the prevailing DLD tariff for DLD calls. For DLD calls that originate from BBT terminating at a fixed cellular network which transit through TELKOM’s fixed-line network, TELKOM receives 50% of the prevailing DLD tariff. In addition, BBT is to receive 50% of TELKOM’s interconnection revenue (access and usage), for all incoming and outgoing international calls from and to BBT that transit through TELKOM’s fixed-line network. As discussed above, however, cost-based interconnection fees will be charged beginning on January 1, 2005 and TELKOM expects that the current fees may be adjusted.
International Interconnection |
Interconnection for international calls consists of access charges, usage charges and charges for Universal Service Obligations. The following table sets forth the current international interconnection tariff, effective as of December 1, 1998, for calls which originate, transit or terminate on TELKOM’s fixed-line network pursuant to Ministerial Decree No. 37 of 1999:
Description | Tariff | |||
Access Charge | Rp.850/successful call | |||
Usage Charge | Rp.550/successful paid minute | |||
USO | Rp.750/successful call |
Pursuant to MoC Decree No. 32/2004, beginning on January 1, 2005 cost-based interconnection charges will go into effect and TELKOM expects that the current fees may be adjusted. At present, TELKOM is awaiting the detailed regulations from the MoC regarding the manner in which the new cost-based charges will be computed.
Local Fixed-line Interconnection with Indosat |
In September 2002, TELKOM and INDOSAT signed an agreement for local fixed-line interconnection. Pursuant to the Agreement, for interconnection local calls, the operator of the network on which the calls terminate receives Rp.57 per minute. In addition, with respect to interconnection long distance calls from or to Indosat, pending the implementation of the duopoly system for long distance calls, the retail revenue is kept by TELKOM and Indosat will receive for the local originating or local terminating calls, Rp.240 per minute.
Satellite Phone Interconnection |
Since the fourth quarter of 2001, TELKOM has been receiving a share of revenues arising from interconnection transactions with PSN, a national satellite operator. Under the agreement, in respect of the interconnection of calls between TELKOM and PSN, TELKOM receives Rp.800 per minute for network charges and an additional Rp.300 per minute origination fee if the call originates from TELKOM’s fixed-line network. However, cost-based interconnection charges will be imposed beginning on January 1, 2005 and TELKOM expects that the current fees may be adjusted.
VoIP Interconnection |
Previously, MoC Decree No. 23 of 2002 provided that access charges and network lease charges for the provision of VoIP services were to be agreed between network operators and VoIP operators. On

Table of Contents
A. Operating Results
Overview
TELKOM is the principal provider of local and domestic telecommunications services in Indonesia, as well as the leading provider of mobile cellular services through its majority owned subsidiary Telkomsel. TELKOM’s objective is to become a leading full service and network provider in Indonesia through the provision of a wide range of communications services. On December 31, 2003, TELKOM had approximately 8.5 million fixed lines in service and Telkomsel had approximately 9.6 million mobile cellular subscribers. TELKOM also provides a wide range of other communication services, including telephone network interconnection services, multimedia, data and Internet communication-related services, satellite transponder leasing, leased line, intelligent network and related services, cable television and VoIP services.
TELKOM believes that the Indonesian economic and industry factors that have materially affected TELKOM, as well as the environment in which it operates, during the two-year period from 2001 through 2002, are (i) the general economic situation in Indonesia, (ii) the limited increases in tariffs, (iii) the growth in the Indonesian mobile cellular market and the corresponding increase in Telkomsel’s revenues, (iv) the sale of a 12.72% equity interest in Telkomsel to SingTel and (v) the implementation of an early retirement program. TELKOM believes that its operating results in 2003 were significantly affected by (i) limited increases in tariffs, (ii) the increase in TELKOM’s interconnection revenues, (iii) the continued growth of the Indonesian mobile cellular market and the corresponding increase in Telkomsel’s revenues, (iv) the increase in TELKOM’s revenues from data and Internet services and (v) increased depreciation expense and operations and maintenance expenses associated with Telkomsel’s expansion of its network capacity.
TELKOM’s operating results, discussed below under “Results of Operations”, for the three-year period from 2001 through 2003 reflected significant growth in revenues, particularly in the fixed line business and cellular business. The growth in revenues in the fixed line business reflects both increased fixed lines in service in the non-KSO and KSO regions and, to some extent, the acquisition and subsequent consolidation of AriaWest in 2003, Pramindo in 2002 and Dayamitra in 2001. The growth of revenues in the cellular business primarily reflects growth in the number of cellular subscribers. The growth of revenues in data and Internet services primarily reflects the increase in SMS traffic from Telkomsel subscribers and increased usage of TELKOM’s international VOIP service. Interconnection revenues have also increased as a result of greater interconnection charges received from mobile cellular operators. The growth in operating expense was primarily driven by increases in personnel expense in 2002 and by an increase in depreciation expense, general and administrative expenses and operations, maintenance and telecommunications services expense in 2003. The increase in personnel expense in 2002 was driven principally by the implementation of an early retirement program in 2001. In 2002, TELKOM also recorded a gain on long-term investment of Rp.3,196.4 billion arising from the sale of a 12.72% shareholding in Telkomsel to SingTel Mobile. The increase in depreciation expense and operations, maintenance and telecommunications services expense in 2003 was principally due to expenses arising from Telkomsel’s expansion of its network capacity. General and administrative expenses grew in 2003 primarily due to amortization of intangible assets from the acquisition of AriaWest and the increase in TELKOM’s provisions for doubtful accounts in 2003.
Economic Situation in Indonesia |
TELKOM has been significantly affected by a severe economic crisis that Indonesia has experienced since the second half of 1997. As a result of the crisis, the Rupiah has depreciated significantly and has experienced periods of significant volatility. From August 1997 to mid 1998, the month-end

Since 1995, Indonesian law has provided for domestic fixed line tariff adjustments to be determined by a price cap formula that calculates the maximum total percentage increase in tariffs for a particular year. The maximum increase equals the Indonesian Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the preceding year, as published by the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, minus an efficiency factor (the “X-factor”), which the Government determines by taking into consideration certain factors including improvements in the cost efficiency of the services resulting from technological improvements, the interests of affected telecommunications operators and the purchasing power of customers. Although the regulations provide for an annual tariff review and adjustment, economic conditions in Indonesia led to tariffs being frozen in 2000 and 2001. See Item 3D. “Risk Factors — Risk Relating to TELKOM and its subsidiaries — TELKOM operates in a legal and regulatory environment that is undergoing significant reforms and such reform may adversely affect TELKOM’s business.”
On January 29, 2002, the MoC announced that fixed-line tariffs would be increased by an average of 45.49% over three years. Effective February 1, 2002, the MoC increased fixed-line tariffs by an average of 15%. Although fixed-line tariffs were expected to be increased again effective January 1, 2003, public opposition following the announcement by TELKOM of tariff increases led to the suspension on January 16, 2003 of the implementation of such increases. On March 30, 2004, the Government, through the ITRB, announced that it would allow operators to rebalance their tariffs, with the resulting weighted average of tariffs increasing by 9%. As a result, TELKOM has adjusted its fixed-line and fixed wireless tariffs, with local charges increasing by 28.2%, DLD tariffs decreasing by an average of 10% and monthly subscription charges increasing by varying amounts from 12% to 25%, depending on the type of subscription. There has been no indication by the MoC whether fixed-line tariffs will be further increased in 2004 or whether the Government intends to carry out its plan to increase fixed-line tariffs by 45.49% by January 2005.
Increase in TELKOM’s interconnection revenues |
TELKOM’s interconnection revenues accounted for approximately 15.3% of TELKOM’s consolidated operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to 13.6% for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in interconnection revenues was primarily due to a 64.0% increase in interconnection charges paid to TELKOM by mobile cellular operators to Rp.3,908.3 billion. This more than offset a 46.6% decline in interconnection revenue from international calls to Rp.184.1 billion.
Increase in Telkomsel’s revenues |
Telkomsel, a subsidiary of TELKOM engaged in the cellular telephone business, experienced a 60% growth in its total number of cellular subscribers from 2002 to 2003, due to the increased usage of mobile cellular phones in Indonesia and a corresponding increase in revenues from air time charges. Telkomsel’s revenues accounted for approximately 31.2% of TELKOM’s consolidated total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to 29.9% for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Increase in TELKOM’s data and Internet revenues |
TELKOM’s revenues from its data and Internet services for the year ended December 31, 2003 were Rp.3,108.6 billion, an increase of approximately 100.3% over data and Internet services revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002. This was primarily due to a 121.1% increase in revenues generated from SMS services and a 115.7% increase in revenues from TELKOM’s international VoIP services. Data and Internet revenues accounted for approximately 11.5% of TELKOM’s consolidated operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to 7.5% for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Sale of 12.72% equity interest in Telkomsel to SingTel |
On July 30, 2002, TELKOM completed the sale of a 12.72% shareholding in Telkomsel to Singapore Telecom Mobile Pte Ltd (“SingTel Mobile”). Following the sale, TELKOM’s ownership in Telkomsel reduced from 77.72% to 65%, while SingTel Mobile’s ownership interest increased from 22.28% to 35%. TELKOM received US$429 million in cash for the sale. As a result, TELKOM booked an accounting gain of Rp.3,196.4 billion related to the transaction, representing the difference between transaction value over the book value of the shares in Telkomsel. The taxable gain from this transaction was much lower than the accounting gain as the shares sold to SingTel Mobile had a tax basis equal to their market value at the time such shares were acquired from Indosat in 2001 as part of the cross-ownership transaction.
Early Retirement Program |
In 2001, TELKOM implemented a voluntary early retirement program for certain eligible employees. TELKOM continued its voluntary early retirement program for 2002 and 2003. TELKOM expects that an aggregate of approximately 7,000 employees will take early retirement over the three-year period from 2002 to 2004, depending on the availability of excess cash to pay early retirement. In 2002, TELKOM accrued Rp.717.3 billion for costs associated with its early retirement program. In 2003 TELKOM accrued Rp.355.7 billion (US$42.1 million) for such costs.

Basis of Presentation
Consolidation of TELKOM’s Financial Statements |
TELKOM consolidates its financial statements and those of subsidiaries in which TELKOM has direct ownership interest of more than 50% or where TELKOM controls the subsidiaries.
TELKOM consolidated Pramindo’s financial statements into its 2002 financial statements from August 2002 when it acquired a controlling interest in Pramindo. TELKOM initially acquired 30% of Pramindo in 2002 and held 45% as of December 31, 2003. TELKOM obtained the legal title to the remaining balance of the shares in Pramindo on March 15, 2004. TELKOM consolidated 100% of Pramindo from the time it acquired 30% of Pramindo in 2002 because it had full control over the management and operations of Pramindo (including the right to vote 100% of Pramindo’s shares and the right to nominate all of Pramindo’s board members) and the right to obtain all of the future economic benefits of ownership of Pramindo as though it owned 100% of the shares, in each case pursuant to the Conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement with the selling shareholders of Pramindo.
Foreign Exchange Translations |
The functional currency of TELKOM and its subsidiaries is the Indonesian Rupiah and the books of accounts of TELKOM and its subsidiaries are maintained in Indonesian Rupiah. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Indonesian Rupiah at the rates of exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. At the balance sheet date, the exchange rates used for translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are the buying and selling rates quoted by Reuters. The Reuters buy and sell rates, applied respectively to monetary assets and liabilities, were Rp.8,940 and Rp.8,960 to U.S.$1.00 as of December 31, 2002 and Rp.8,430 and Rp.8,450 to U.S.$1.00 as of December 31, 2003. These rates differ from the rates used for convenience translations in this Annual Report, including in the tables appearing in the discussion and analysis below. See Note 2(e) to the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements are stated in Rupiah. The translations of Rupiah amounts for 2003 into United States Dollars are included solely for the convenience of the readers and have been made using the average of the market buy and sell rates of Rp.8,440 to US$1.00 published by Reuters on December 31, 2003. The convenience translations should not be construed as representations that the Rupiah amounts have been, could have been, or can in the future be, converted into United States Dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.

Subsequent to an announcement by the DGPT in August 2001 that the Government intended to terminate TELKOM’s exclusive right to provide local and domestic long-distance services, TELKOM’s exclusive right to provide domestic local service was finally terminated in August 2002 and TELKOM’s exclusive right to provide domestic long-distance service was likewise terminated in August 2003. TELKOM, however, received its commercial license to provide IDD fixed-line services on May 13, 2004. As a result of the termination of TELKOM’s exclusive right to provide domestic long-distance service, Indosat, a competitor of TELKOM, will be entering the domestic long-distance market and on May 13, 2004 Indosat received its commercial license to provide domestic long-distance services. TELKOM expects that revenues from providing interconnection services to new entrants in the domestic local and domestic long-distance markets will increase and its market share of fixed line services will decrease slightly in the future because of the liberalization of these market. With regard to IDD fixed-line services, TELKOM began offering these services to its customers on June 7, 2004 under the “TIC 007” brand. Although TELKOM expects its IDD fixed-line service to be competitive, as of the date of this Annual Report TELKOM can give no assurance as to how these services or the liberalization of the local call and domestic long-distance markets will affect TELKOM’s financial condition and result of operations.
Fixed Line Telephone Revenues |
The components of fixed line revenues are local and domestic long-distance usage charges, monthly subscription charges, installation charges, phone cards and others. Local and domestic long-distance usage charges, monthly subscription charges and installation charges relate to both fixed wireline and fixed wireless telephones.
Local and domestic long-distance usage and monthly subscription charges are determined by telecommunications operators based on a formula set by the Government that determines maximum tariff levels. The maximum tariff levels apply uniformly throughout Indonesia. TELKOM’s monthly subscription charges are based on a uniform schedule of charges that vary according to the type of user and the type of services provided. Local and domestic long-distance usage charges vary depending on the distance called, duration and time band, while installation charges, phone cards and other services

Table of Contents
Most fixed line revenues are recognized as services as provided, except the installation charges are recognized as revenue when a fixed line (referred to as an “installation” in the consolidated financial statements) is placed in service. Revenues from phone cards are recognized as deferred income when the phone card sales occur and transferred to revenue upon usage of the units stored on the card or when the card expires, whichever is the earlier.
Fixed line telephone revenues for the three years 2001 through 2003 are set out below, with each item also expressed as a percentage of operating revenues:

Cellular Telephone Revenues |
The main components of cellular telephone revenues are air time charges and monthly subscription charges, which totaled Rp.7,677.9 billion (US$909.7 million) and Rp. 580.6 billion (US$68.8 million), respectively, in 2003. Cellular telephone revenues also include features and connection fee charges.
Air time charges and monthly subscription charges are determined by telecommunications operators based on maximum tariff levels fixed by the Government. The maximum tariff levels apply uniformly throughout Indonesia. See Item 5. “Operating Results — A. Overview — Limited Increases in Tariffs”. Connection fee charges are determined by individual operators. Only postpaid subscribers pay connection and monthly subscription fees, while prepaid customers generally pay higher air time usage charges. In TELKOM’s consolidated statements of income, a portion of revenues from sales of prepaid starter packs is also recorded as connection fees.
In the case of postpaid subscribers, monthly subscription charges are recognized when earned (i.e., in the month to which they apply), while connection fee revenue is recognized as income when connections take place. In the case of prepaid subscribers, revenues from “starter packs” are recognized upon delivery to distributors, dealers or directly to customers, while revenues from pulse refill vouchers are recognized initially as unearned income and thereafter recognized proportionately as revenue based on successful calls made using the stored value of the voucher or when the unused stored value has expired. Revenues recognized are net of dealer discounts.

Interconnection Revenues |
Interconnection revenues consist primarily of fees charged to other domestic and international carriers when calls originating in their networks interconnect with TELKOM’s fixed line network and Telkomsel’s mobile cellular network. Interconnection revenues also include international roaming by overseas operators to Telkomsel’s mobile cellular network.
Fees charged for interconnection are determined contractually between operators, subject to maximum fee levels established by Government regulation. Revenues from interconnection with other domestic and international telecommunications carriers are recognized as incurred and are presented net of interconnection expenses. Interconnection revenues are typically accrued initially and settled among operators quarterly and can fluctuate significantly as a result of adjustments among operators to accrued amounts at the time of settlement. Beginning January 1, 2005, however, interconnection fees will be cost-based, in accordance with MoC regulations, and TELKOM expects that the current interconnection fees will be adjusted.

Table of Contents
The decline in KSO revenue was primarily due to the elimination of MTR and DTR revenue recognized by TELKOM for KSO III Unit as a result of TELKOM’s acquisition and subsequent consolidation of AriaWest in July 2003.
Fixed Line Telephone Revenues.
Fixed line revenues grew by Rp.1,632.8 billion, or an increase of 22.5%, from Rp.7,264.1 billion in 2002 to Rp.8,896.9 billion (US$1,054.1 million) in 2003. Local and domestic long distance revenue for 2003 increased by Rp.1,113.9 billion, or an increase of 20.4%, from Rp.5,447.9 billion in 2002 to Rp.6,561.8 billion (US$777.5 million) in 2003. Monthly subscription charges increased by Rp.474.0 billion, or an increase of 32.1%, from Rp.1,474.8 billion in 2002 to Rp.1,948.8 billion (US$230.9 million) in 2003. Installation charges increased by Rp.92.9 billion, or an increase of 71.3%, from Rp.130.2 billion in 2002 to Rp.223.1 billion (US$26.4 million) in 2003.
The increases were primarily attributable to:
• | increases of 18.0% and 13.0% in usage for DLD and local call services, respectively, which generate revenue based on number of pulses. | |
• | 9.4% growth in the number of fixed lines in service in the non-KSO and KSO regions, including kiosk phones, from 7,750,035 lines as of December 31, 2002 to 8,479,115 lines as of December 31, 2003, particularly 23.1% growth in the number of fixed lines in service in the non-KSO regions, which led to a 71.3% increase in installation fees, to Rp.223.1 billion. | |
• | the consolidation of KSO III Unit revenues, as a result of TELKOM’s acquisition of AriaWest on July 31, 2003, which contributed Rp.482.3 billion (US$47.3 million) to the increase in operating revenues. |
Revenues from phone cards for 2003 increased by Rp.5.1 billion to Rp.34.4 billion (US$4.1 million), an increase of 17.4% compared to 2002, due to increased usage.
Revenue from others decreased by Rp.53.1 billion to Rp.128.8 billion (US$15.3 million), a decline of 29.2% compared to 2002, primarily due to a decline in revenues from coin-operated public telephones.
Cellular Telephone Revenues.
Cellular telephone revenues grew by Rp.2,232.0 billion, or an increase of 35.8%, from Rp.6,226.8 billion in 2002 to Rp.8,458.8 billion (US$1,002.2 million) in 2003. Air time charges for 2003 increased by Rp.2,224.3 billion to Rp.7,677.9 billion (US$909.7 million), an increase of 40.8% compared to 2002. Monthly subscription charges decreased by Rp.12.8 billion to Rp.580.6 billion (US$68.8 million), a decline of 2.2%. Connection fee charges increased by Rp.21.8 billion to Rp.194.1 billion (US$23.0 million), an increase of 12.6%.
The increase was primarily attributable to 60% growth in Telkomsel’s total cellular subscribers, from 6,010,772 subscribers as of December 31, 2002 to 9,588,807 subscribers as of December 31, 2003. This increase was caused by a 38.7% growth in net-additional subscribers from 2,578,740 subscribers as of December 31, 2002 to 3,578,035 subscribers as of December 31, 2003. Postpaid subscribers grew by 9.1% to 1,007,034 subscribers and prepaid subscribers grew by 68.7% to 8,581,773 subscribers, in each case as of December 31, 2003.
As a result of the higher rate of growth in the number of prepaid subscribers, the proportion of prepaid subscribers to total subscribers increased from 84.6% as of December 31, 2002 to 89.5% as of December 31, 2003. As a result of the change in the subscriber mix, with the increased number of prepaid subscribers as a percentage of total subscribers, and despite an increase in postpaid monthly ARPU, blended monthly ARPU decreased from approximately Rp.145,000 in 2002 to approximately Rp.123,000 (US$14.6) in 2003. Increased SMS traffic also contributed to the decline in ARPU.

Interconnection Revenues.
Net interconnection revenues grew by Rp.1,330.8 billion, or an increase of 47.0%, from Rp.2,831.3 billion in 2002 to Rp.4,162.1 billion (US$493.1 million) in 2003. Net interconnection revenues comprises net interconnection revenues from TELKOM’s fixed line network (after eliminating net interconnection revenues for interconnections with Telkomsel’s mobile cellular network) and net interconnection revenues from Telkomsel’s mobile cellular network (after eliminating net interconnection expense from interconnections with TELKOM’s fixed line network).
Net interconnection revenues from TELKOM’s fixed line network increased by Rp.1,328.7 billion to Rp.4,069.1 billion (US$482.1 million) in 2003, an increase of 48.5% compared to 2002. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in cellular phone traffic. Net interconnection revenue from Telkomsel’s mobile cellular network increased slightly by Rp.2.4 billion to Rp.93.0 billion (US$11.0 million) in 2003, an increase of 2.7%.
Interconnection revenues involving international direct dialing IDD calls decreased by 46.6%, from Rp.344.5 billion in 2002 to Rp.184.1 billion (US$21.8 million) in 2003, primarily due to a decrease in incoming IDD traffic. IDD traffic has decreased significantly primarily due to competition from VoIP providers.
KSO Revenues.
KSO revenues declined by Rp.641.8 billion, or 30.2%, from Rp.2,128.1 billion in 2002 to Rp.1,486.3 billion (US$176.1 million) in 2003. MTR decreased by Rp.419.8 billion, or 31.8%, from Rp.1,319.7 billion in 2002 to Rp.899.9 billion (US$106.6 million) in 2003. DTR decreased by Rp.218.0 billion, or 27.2%, from Rp.801.0 billion in 2002 to Rp.583.0 billion (US$69.1 million) in 2003. Amortization of unearned initial payments decreased by Rp.4.0 billion to Rp.3.4 billion (US$0.4 million) in 2003, a decrease of 53.7%.
The decrease in KSO revenues was attributable to the acquisition of AriaWest (KSO Unit III) in 2003 and primarily reflected a portion of KSO revenues from AriaWest that were consolidated to TELKOM under fixed line revenues rather than under KSO revenues.
Fixed lines in service in the KSO regions decreased 28.5%, from 2,039,608 lines as of December 31, 2002 to 1,449,066 lines as of December 31, 2003 due to the exclusion of AriaWest following its acquisition by TELKOM.
Data and Internet Revenues.
Data and Internet revenues grew by Rp.1,557.0 billion, or 100.3%, from Rp.1,551.6 billion in 2002 to Rp.3,108.6 billion (US$368.3 million) in 2003, mainly attributed to the significant growth in SMS traffic from Telkomsel subscribers, increased usage of TELKOMNet Instant and the increased usage of TELKOM’s VoIP service. SMS revenues for 2003 increased by Rp.1,207.9 billion to Rp.2,205.1 billion (US$261.3 million), an increase of 121.1%. Multimedia revenues for 2003 increased by Rp.156.9 billion to Rp.494.7 billion (US$58.6 million), an increase of 46.5% compared to 2002. VoIP revenues for 2003 increased by Rp.176.1 billion to Rp.328.3 billion (US$38.9 million), an increase of 115.7% compared to 2002. ISDN revenues for 2003 increased by Rp.16.1 billion to Rp.80.5 billion (US$9.5 million), an increase of 25.0% compared to 2002.
Network Revenues.
Network revenues increased by Rp.201.8 billion, or 63.8%, from Rp.316.1 billion in 2002 to Rp.517.9 billion (US$61.4 million) in 2003. Satellite transponder revenues for 2003 increased by Rp.80.7 billion to Rp.270.9 billion (US$32.1 million), an increase of 42.4% compared to 2002, primarily due to an increase in the number of transponder leases. Leased line revenues for 2003 increased by Rp.121.1 billion to Rp.247.0 billion (US$29.3 million), an increase of 96.2% compared to 2002, as a result

Revenues under Revenue Sharing Arrangements (“PBHs”).
Revenues under Revenue Sharing Arrangements decreased by Rp.5.3 billion, or 2.0%, from Rp.263.8 billion in 2002 to Rp.258.5 billion (US$30.6 million) in 2003, mainly due to the termination of certain revenue sharing arrangements. Net share for revenue earned under revenue sharing arrangements for 2003 decreased by Rp.11.4 billion to Rp.200.1 billion (US$23.7 million). Amortization of unearned income under revenue sharing arrangements for 2003 increased by Rp.6.1 billion to Rp.58.4 billion (US$6.9 million), an increase of 11.7% compared to 2002.
Other Telecommunications-related Services Revenues.
Other telecommunications-related service revenues increased by Rp.5.9 billion, or 2.7%, from Rp.221.0 billion in 2002 to Rp.226.9 billion (US$26.9 million) in 2003 mainly due to the consolidation of Metra in 2003 and an increase in revenue from cable television services, as well as an increase in revenue from telephone directory services, offset in part by the continued decline in telex and telegram usage.
Operating Expenses.
Total operating expenses grew by Rp.3,467.4 billion, or 29.7%, from Rp.11,672.6 billion in 2002 to Rp.15,140.0 billion (US$1,793.9 million) in 2003. The increase was mainly attributable to substantial increases in depreciation and operation, maintenance and telecommunications services expense, as well in general and administrative expense.
Personnel Expenses.
Personnel expenses grew by Rp.52.5 billion, or 1.2%, from Rp.4,387.6 billion in 2002 to Rp.4,440.1 billion (US$526.1 million) in 2003. The main contributor to the increase was the acquisition of AriaWest, as well as the consolidation of subsidiaries, such as Metra, Napsindo and PII. This led to an increase in recurring employee expenses, as follows:
• | salaries and related benefits increased by Rp.163.5 billion to Rp.1,574.2 billion (US$186.5 million), an increase of 11.6%; | |
• | vacation pay, incentives and other allowances increased by Rp.160.6 billion to Rp.816.1 billion (US$96.7 million), an increase of 24.5%; and | |
• | employee income tax increased by Rp.267.3 billion to Rp.468.8 billion (US$55.5 million), an increase of 132.7%, primarily due to the payment of significant withholding tax on payments under TELKOM’s early retirement program. |
These increases offset significant declines in early retirement costs, net periodic pension costs and medical expenses. Early retirement costs decreased by Rp.361.6 billion to Rp.355.7 billion (US$42.1 million), a decline of 50.4% compared to 2002, due to a decline in the number of employees retiring under TELKOM’s early retirement program. Net periodic pension costs declined by Rp.171.4 billion to Rp.190.9 billion (US$22.6 million), a decline of 47.3%, reflecting a decline in the number of employees eligible for TELKOM’s pension plan.
Other components of personnel expenses did not contribute significantly to operating expenses in 2003.
Depreciation Expense.
Depreciation expense grew by Rp.1,306.1 billion, or 37.6%, from Rp.3,473.4 billion in 2002 to Rp.4,779.5 billion (US$566.3 million) in 2003, primarily as a result of TELKOM’s and Telkomsel’s

Operations, Maintenance and Telecommunications Services Expense.
Operations, maintenance and telecommunications services expenses grew by Rp.1,048.5 billion, or 45.8%, from Rp.2,290.2 billion in 2002 to Rp.3,338.7 billion (US$395.6 million) in 2003. The increase was mainly attributable to:
• | an increase in operations and maintenance expenses by Rp.702.2 billion to Rp.1,744.8 (US$206.7 million), an increase of 67.4%, due to an increase in Telkomsel’s operations and maintenance expenses arising from the growth in the number of Telkomsel’s BTSs, which grew by 38.4% to 4,820 in 2003, and the increase in the number of Telkomsel’s transmitting and receiving exchanges; | |
• | total radio frequency usage charges increased by Rp.79.0 billion to Rp.371.7 billion (US$44.0 million) in 2003, an increase of 27.0%, primarily due to a 26.1% increase in usage charges by Telkomsel of Rp.73.2 billion from Rp.280.4 billion in 2002 to Rp.353.6 billion (US$41.9 million) in 2003, in line with the 38.4% increase in the number of BTSs from 3,483 in 2002 to 4,820 in 2003; | |
• | total concession fees increased by Rp.75.1 billion to Rp.239.0 billion (US$28.4 million) in 2003, an increase of 45.8% due to an increase in the revenues of TELKOM and Telkomsel; and | |
• | gas, electricity and water charges increased by 36.6%, from Rp.219.9 billion in 2002 to Rp.300.4 billion (US$35.6 million) in 2003, reflecting primarily the consolidation of the gas electricity and water charges of AriaWest and other subsidiaries, as well as an increase in electricity and gas rates in 2003 compared to 2002. |
Other components of operations, maintenance and telecommunications service expense did not contribute significantly to operating expenses in 2003.
General and Administrative Expense.
General and administrative expense increased by Rp.932.5 billion, or 81.3%, from Rp.1,146.3 billion in 2002 to Rp.2,078.8 billion (US$246.3 million) in 2003. In particular, in 2003:
• | amortization of intangible assets increased by Rp.542.7 billion to Rp.730.7 billion (US$86.6 million), or 288.7%, mainly due to additional amortization of intangible assets arising from the acquisitions of AriaWest; | |
• | provision for doubtful accounts and inventory obsolescence increased by Rp.295.3 billion to Rp.326.4 billion (US$38.7 million) in 2003, primarily due to an increase in TELKOM and Telkomsel customer defaults and, in addition, the amount for 2003 represented TELKOM’s provisions for doubtful accounts following the reversal in 2002 of certain provisions for doubtful accounts as a result of the settlement of TELKOM’s dispute with AriaWest. | |
• | collection costs increased by Rp.49.0 billion to Rp.273.8 billion (US$32.4 million), an increase of 21.8%, generally in line with the growth in TELKOM’s fixed line subscriber base and Telkomsel’s mobile cellular subscriber base, but also reflecting higher fees charged by third party collection agents used in some regional divisions; | |
• | general and social contribution increased by Rp.44.4 billion to Rp.113.8 billion (US$13.5 million), an increase of 63.9%, reflecting TELKOM’s various charitable donations and community services; | |
• | security and screening increased by Rp.33.2 billion to Rp.110.3 billion (US$13.1 million), an increase of 43.1%, primarily due to the consolidation of the KSO III Unit; and |
87
Table of Contents
• | professional fees decreased by Rp.103.4 billion, or 47.2%, to Rp.115.6 billion (US$13.7 million) in 2003, principally due to a decline in financial advisory and legal fees in 2003. |
Other components of general and administrative expenses did not contribute significantly to operating expenses in 2003.
Marketing Expense.
Marketing expense grew by Rp.127.8 billion, or 34.1%, from Rp.375.1 billion in 2002 to Rp.502.9 billion (US$59.6 million) in 2003. The increase was primarily due to TELKOM’s marketing campaign for its new services, primarily for TELKOMFLexi, as well as an increase in Telkomsel’s marketing expense, primarily for sales support and customer loyalty programs.
Operating Income and Operating Margin |
As a result of the foregoing, operating income grew by Rp.2,845.7 billion, or 31.2%, from Rp.9,130.2 billion in 2002 to Rp.11,975.9 billion (US$1,419.0 million) in 2003. TELKOM’s operating margin increased from 43.9% in 2002 to 44.2% in 2003 due to the higher growth of operating revenues (30.4%) compared to the growth of operating expense (29.7%).
Other Income (Expense) |
Other income (net) declined by Rp.3,142.8 billion from a net income of Rp.2,618.7 billion in 2002 to a net expense of Rp.524.1 billion (US$62.1 million) in 2003, primarily due to absence of the one-time gain of Rp.3,196.4 billion on sale of 12.72% of Telkomsel to SingTel. TELKOM’s interest income decreased by 23.7% to Rp.366.0 billion (US$43.4 million). Gain on foreign exchange-net also declined from Rp.556.6 billion in 2002 to Rp.126.1 billion (US$14.9 million) in 2003.
These decreases offset a 12.6% decline in TELKOM’s interest expense from Rp.1,582.7 billion in 2002 to Rp.1,383.4 billion (US$163.9 million) in 2003, as well as an increase in Others-net to Rp.364.3 billion (US$43.2 million).
Interest Income.
Interest income declined by Rp.113.8 billion, or 23.7%, from Rp.479.8 billion in 2002 to Rp.366.0 billion (US$43.4 million) in 2003, primarily due to the decline in floating interest rates for both Rupiah- and U.S. Dollar-denominated deposits in 2003, as well as a 64.2% decline in TELKOM’s short-term investments in 2003.
Interest Expense.
Interest expenses declined by Rp.199.3 billion, or 12.6%, from Rp.1,582.7 billion in 2002 to Rp.1,383.4 billion (US$163.9 million) in 2003, reflecting primarily the decline in floating interest rates for TELKOM’s Rupiah-and U.S. Dollar-denominated debt in 2003.
Gain (Loss) on Foreign Exchange-net.
Gain (loss) on foreign exchange-net decreased by Rp.430.5 billion from a net gain of Rp.556.6 billion in 2002 to a net gain of Rp.126.1 billion (US$14.9 million) in 2003, primarily due to the decline in the aggregate amount of TELKOM’s assets that were denominated in foreign currencies, as well as to the greater stability of the Rupiah against such foreign currencies in 2003.
Equity in Net Income (Loss) of Associated Companies.
TELKOM’s equity in net income (loss) of associated companies decreased by Rp.1.8 billion from a net gain of Rp.4.6 billion in 2002 to a net gain of Rp.2.8 billion (US$0.3 million) in 2003, primarily due

Others (Net).
Others (net) increased by Rp.400.3 billion, from other expense (net) of Rp.36.0 billion in 2002 to other income (net) of Rp.364.3 billion (US$43.2 million) in 2003. In 2003, Others (net) included the following significant income and expense items:
• | Rp.248.6 billion (US$29.5 million) in income from fines from late-paying subscribers; | |
• | gain on sale of fixed assets (net), primarily property, plant and equipment, amounting to Rp.182.9 billion (US$21.7 million). |
Other components of Others (Net) did not contribute significantly to Other Income (Charges) in 2003.
Income Before Tax and Pre-Tax Margin |
As a result of the foregoing, income before tax declined by Rp.297.1 billion, or 2.5%, from Rp.11,748.9 billion in 2002 to Rp.11,451.8 billion (US$1,356.9 million) in 2003. Pre-tax margin decreased from 56.5% in 2002 to 42.2% in 2003.
Income Tax Expense |
Income tax expense grew by Rp.962.1 billion, or 33.2%, from Rp.2,899.0 billion in 2002 to Rp.3,861.1 billion (US$457.5 million) in 2003. The effective tax rate increased from 24.7% of income before tax in 2002 to 33.7% of income before tax in 2003. The increase in the effective tax rate was mainly attributable to the absence in 2003 of the one-time adjustment to TELKOM’s taxable income arising from the sale by TELKOM to SingTel in 2002 of a 12.72% interest in Telkomsel. Without the adjustment, TELKOM’s effective tax rate for 2002 would have been 32.9%.
Minority Interest in Net Income of Subsidiaries |
Minority interest in the net income of subsidiaries increased by Rp.693.3 billion, or 85.6%, from Rp.810.2 billion in 2002 to Rp.1,503.5 billion (US$178.1 million) in 2003. The increase was primarily due to the significant increase in the net income of Telkomsel for 2003.
Net Income |
As a result of the foregoing, net income declined by Rp.1,952.5 billion, or 24.3%, from Rp.8,039.7 billion in 2002 to Rp.6,087.2 billion (US$721.2 million) in 2003. TELKOM’s margin decreased from 38.7% in 2002 to 22.5% in 2003. The lower net income resulted in a decrease in basic earnings per share from Rp.797.6 in 2002 to Rp.603.9 in 2003.
Equity |
Total shareholders’ equity increased by Rp.2,699.3 billion, or 18.5%, from Rp.14,613.6 billion in 2002 to Rp.17,312.9 billion (US$2,051.3 million) in 2003. The increase in total shareholders’ equity was attributable primarily to the increase in retained earnings due to net income for the year 2003 of Rp.6,087.2 billion (US$721.2 million). In May 2003, TELKOM declared a cash dividend of Rp.3,338.1 billion (US$395.5 million).
Retained Earnings.
Appropriated and unappropriated retained earnings grew by Rp. 2,749.1 billion, or 18.2%, from Rp.15,128.9 billion in 2002 to Rp.17,878.0 billion (US$2,118.2 million) in 2003.

Operating Revenues. |
Total operating revenues grew by Rp.4,519.0 billion, or 27.8%, from Rp.16,283.8 billion in 2001 to Rp.20,802.8 billion in 2002. Operating revenues increased for fixed line, cellular, interconnection and data and Internet. The decline in KSO revenue was primarily due to the elimination of MTR and DTR revenue recognized by TELKOM for the KSO I Unit as a result of TELKOM’s acquisition and consequent consolidation of Pramindo in 2002.
Fixed Line Telephone Revenues.
Fixed line revenues grew by Rp.848.9 billion, or an increase of 13.2%, from Rp.6,415.1 billion in 2001 to Rp.7,264.1 billion in 2002. Local and domestic long distance revenue for 2002 increased by Rp.222.2 billion, or an increase of 4.3%, from Rp.5,225.7 billion in 2001 to Rp.5,447.9 billion in 2002. Monthly subscription charges increased by Rp.477.2 billion, or an increase of 47.8%, from Rp.997.7 billion in 2001 to Rp.1,474.8 billion in 2002. Installation charges increased by Rp.32.2 billion, or an increase of 32.9%, from Rp.98.0 billion in 2001 to Rp.130.2 billion in 2002.
The increases were primarily attributable to:
• | 7.4% growth in the number of fixed lines in service in the non-KSO and KSO regions, including kiosk phones, from 7,218,938 lines at December 31, 2001 to 7,750,035 lines at December 31, 2002, particularly 33.7% growth in the non-KSO regions; and | |
• | the consolidation of KSO I Unit revenues, as a result of TELKOM’s acquisition of Pramindo on August 15, 2002, which contributed Rp.364.4 billion to the increase in operating revenues. |
Revenues from phone cards for 2002 increased by Rp.3.8 billion to Rp.29.3 billion, an increase of 15.0% compared to 2001. The increase in phone card revenues was primarily due to a one-time expense incurred by TELKOM in 2001 for the termination of a revenue sharing arrangement with a vendor that previously issued phone cards on behalf of TELKOM, as well as the consolidation of the revenues of Regional Division I in 2002. Revenue from others increased by Rp.113.5 billion to Rp.181.9 billion, an increase of 166.1% compared to 2001. Revenue from others increased significantly due to an increase in revenue from premium-paid calls.
Cellular Telephone Revenues.
Cellular telephone revenues grew by Rp.1,518.8 billion, or an increase of 32.3%, from Rp.4,708.0 billion in 2001 to Rp.6,226.8 billion in 2002. Air time charges for 2002 increased by Rp.1,465.8 billion to Rp.5,453.6 billion, an increase of 36.8% compared to 2001. Monthly subscription charges increased by Rp.11.8 billion to Rp.593.3 billion, an increase of 2.0%. Connection fee charges increased by Rp.43.8 billion to Rp.172.3 billion, an increase of 34.0%.
The increases were primarily attributable to:
• | 84.8% growth in Telkomsel’s total cellular subscribers, from 3,252,032 subscribers in 2001 to 6,010,772 subscribers in 2002, which was caused by 76.3% growth in net-additional subscribers from 1,564,693 subscribers in 2001 to 2,758,740 subscribers in 2002. In addition, 6.7% growth in postpaid subscribers to 923,005 subscribers and 113.2% growth in prepaid subscribers to 5,087,767 at December 31, 2002; and | |
• | 3.8% growth in postpaid monthly ARPU to Rp.298,000, offset by a 7.2% decline in prepaid monthly ARPU to Rp.103,000 in 2002 due in part to Telkomsel’s attraction of additional low-usage customers and the upgrading of the high-usage prepaid customers to postpaid. |
As a result of the higher rate of growth in the number of prepaid subscribers, the proportion of prepaid subscribers increased from 73.4% in 2001 to 84.6% in 2002. As a result of the change in the

Interconnection Revenues.
Net interconnection revenues grew by Rp.1,407.6 billion, or an increase of 98.9%, from Rp.1,423.7 billion in 2001 to Rp.2,831.3 billion in 2002. Net interconnection revenues comprises net interconnection revenues from TELKOM’s fixed line network (after eliminating net interconnection revenues for interconnections with Telkomsel’s mobile cellular network) and net interconnection revenues from Telkomsel’s mobile cellular network (after eliminating net interconnection expense from interconnections with TELKOM’s fixed line network).
Net interconnection revenues from TELKOM’s fixed line network increased by Rp.1,528.4 billion to Rp.2,740.7 billion, an increase of 126.1% compared to 2001. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in cellular phone traffic and the consolidation of Pramindo. Net interconnection revenue from Telkomsel’s mobile cellular network decreased by Rp.120.8 billion to Rp.90.6 billion, a decrease of 57.1%, due to the additional elimination of revenues related to consolidation of KSO I.
In 2002 as compared to 2001, interconnection revenues involving international direct dialing IDD calls increased by 195.0%, from Rp.116.8 billion to Rp.344.5 billion primarily due to an increase in incoming IDD traffic.
KSO Revenues.
KSO revenues declined by Rp.91.5 billion, or 4.1%, from Rp.2,219.5 billion in 2001 to Rp.2,128.1 billion in 2002. MTR decreased by Rp.154.5 billion, or 10.5%, from Rp.1,474.2 billion in 2001 to Rp.1,319.7 billion in 2002. DTR increased by Rp.68.0 billion, or 9.3%, from Rp.732.9 billion in 2001 to Rp.801.0 billion in 2002. Amortization of unearned initial payments decreased by Rp.5.0 billion to Rp.7.4 billion, a decrease of 40.3%.
The decrease in KSO revenues was attributable to the acquisition of Pramindo (KSO Unit I) in 2002 as well as the acquisition of Dayamitra (KSO Unit VI) in May 2001 and primarily reflected consolidated KSO revenues from these KSO units that were consolidated to TELKOM under fixed line revenues rather than under KSO revenues.
Fixed lines in service in the KSO regions increased 7.0%, from 3,269,033 lines at December 31, 2001 to 3,497,819 lines at December 31, 2002, if KSO I Unit and KSO VI Unit are included, or 5.1%, from 1,941,227 lines to 2,039,608 lines, if KSO I Unit and KSO VI are excluded.
Data and Internet Revenues.
Data and Internet revenues grew by Rp.878.4 billion, or 130.5%, from Rp.673.2 billion in 2001 to Rp.1,551.6 billion in 2002, mainly attributed from the significant growth in SMS and VoIP services. SMS revenues for 2002 increased by Rp.652.6 billion to Rp.997.2 billion, an increase of 189.4%. Multimedia revenues for 2002 increased by Rp.119.5 billion to Rp.337.8 billion, an increase of 54.7% compared to 2001 that was driven by additional subscribers. VoIP revenues for 2002 increased by Rp.126.6 billion to Rp.152.2 billion, an increase of 494.8% compared to 2001 as TELKOM only introduced its VoIP services at the end of 2001.
Network Revenues.
Network revenues declined by Rp.98.8 billion, or 23.8%, from Rp.415.0 billion in 2001 to Rp.316.1 billion in 2002. Satellite transponder revenues for 2002 declined by Rp.13.3 billion to Rp.190.2 billion, a decline of 6.6% compared to 2001, primarily due to a reduction in the number of subscribers resulting from an over-supply of satellite transponders, as well as the impact of Rupiah appreciation against the U.S. Dollar in the U.S. Dollar-denominated tariff. Leased line revenues for 2002 declined by Rp.85.5 billion to Rp.125.9 billion, a decline of 40.5% compared to 2001, as a result of further

Revenues under Revenue Sharing Arrangements (“PBH”).
Revenues under Revenue Sharing Arrangements decreased by Rp.0.5 billion, or 0.2%, from Rp.264.3 billion in 2001 to Rp.263.8 billion in 2002, mainly due to the termination of certain revenue sharing arrangements. Net share for revenue earned under revenue sharing arrangement for 2002 increased by Rp.20.0 billion to Rp.211.5 billion, an increase of 10.5% compared to 2001 due to an increase in the number of lines in service and the applicable tariffs during 2002. Amortization of unearned income under revenue sharing arrangements for 2002 decreased by Rp.20.5 billion to Rp.52.3 billion, a decline of 28.2% compared to 2001, due to the termination of certain revenue sharing arrangements.
Other Telecommunications-related Services Revenues.
Other telecommunications-related service revenues increased by Rp.56.0 billion, or 33.9%, from Rp.165.0 billion in 2001 to Rp.221.0 billion in 2002 mainly due to an increase in revenue from call centers, as well as an increase in revenue from telephone directory services. In addition, there was also a decrease in telex and telegram usage due to the increase usage of facsimile.
Operating Expenses.
Total operating expenses grew by Rp.2,808.2 billion, or 31.7%, from Rp.8,864.4 billion in 2001 to Rp.11,672.6 billion in 2002. The increase was mainly attributable to a substantial increase in personnel expense, as well as increases in marketing, depreciation and operation, maintenance and telecommunications services expense, slightly offset by a decline in general and administrative expense.
Personnel Expenses.
Personnel expenses grew by Rp.2,106.3 billion, or 92.3%, from Rp.2,281.2 billion in 2001 to Rp.4,387.6 billion in 2002. The main contributor to the increase are:
(i) The increase of non-recurring employee expenses:
• | severance for early retirement plan increased by Rp.577.3 billion to Rp.717.3 billion, an increase of 412.4% compared to 2001, primarily reflecting early retirement that was accrued in 2002; and | |
• | net periodic pension cost increased by Rp.276.1 billion to Rp.362.3 billion, an increase of 320.1%, reflecting the increase of pension benefit. |
(ii) The increase of recurring employee expenses:
• | vacation pay (mainly long-leave allowances), incentives and other allowances increased by Rp.290.8 billion to Rp.655.5 billion, an increase of 79.7%, reflecting primarily new bonus scheme introduced in 2002 which amounted to Rp.171.0 billion and the consolidation of KSO I Unit and Pramindo vacation pay, incentives and other allowances; | |
• | long service awards increased by Rp.195.4 billion to Rp.289.9 billion, an increase of 206.7%, due to the introduction of long leave allowance payable by TELKOM to eligible employees; and | |
• | net periodic post-retirement benefit cost increased by Rp.242.0 billion to Rp.616.5 billion, an increase of 64.6%, primarily due to an increased number of pensioners from the early-retirement program. |
Meanwhile, employee income tax increased by Rp.68.6 billion to Rp.201.5 billion, an increase of 51.7%, reflecting primarily increase in salary and the benefits paid under the early-retirement program.

Other components of personnel expenses did not contribute significantly to operating expenses in 2002.
Depreciation Expense.
Depreciation expenses grew by Rp.603.6 billion, or 21.0%, from Rp.2,869.8 billion in 2001 to Rp.3,473.4 billion in 2002, primarily as a result of the consolidation of Pramindo’s depreciation expense amounting to Rp.93.2 billion, as well as the increase of Telkomsel’s depreciation expense amounting to Rp.467.9 billion reflecting continued capital expenditures.
Operations, Maintenance and Telecommunications Services Expense.
Operation, maintenance and telecommunications services expenses grew by Rp.140.3 billion, or 6.5%, from Rp.2,149.9 billion in 2001 to Rp.2,290.2 billion in 2002. The increase was mainly attributable to:
• | the consolidation of relevant Pramindo expenses in the various components of operation, maintenance and telecommunications services expenses in 2002, which amounted to Rp.57.4 billion; | |
• | total radio frequency usage charges increased by Rp.191.4 billion, mainly contributed from the increase in usage charges from Telkomsel by Rp.191.8 billion from Rp.88.6 billion in 2001 to Rp.280.4 billion in 2002, or 216.5%, in line with the 74.6% increase in the number of BTS from 1,995 in 2001 to 3,483 in 2002; | |
• | total concession fees increased by Rp.100.3 billion or 157.8% compared to 2001 due to an increase in the applicable tariff payable by Telkomsel to the Government and an increase in the number of Telkomsel’s BTSs; | |
• | gas, electricity and water charges increased by 40.0% reflecting primarily higher electricity and gas charges as a result of higher rates charged by the Government for these services in 2002; | |
• | total insurance expense increased by Rp.75.1 billion, or 110.9% reflecting higher insurance coverage due to the consolidation of Pramindo and an increase in the number of insurable fixed assets; and | |
• | cost of phone cards increased by Rp.24.3 billion to Rp.197.7 billion, an increase of 14.0%, reflecting higher procurement of phone cards to supply increased sales of SIM cards and refill vouchers for Telkomsel’s prepaid mobile cellular services. |
Distributors and telephone kiosk’ commissions decreased by Rp.520.9 billion due to the change in the Company’s policy for sales through distributors and telephone kiosks. Previously, the Company compensated through the payment of commissions which were proportional to the revenues earned through the kiosk phones. In 2002, the Company changed its policy and implemented the MoC Decree No. KM 46/2002 that provides a maximum of 70% of the phone kiosk basic tariff for domestic calls and up to 92% for international calls.
Other components of operation, maintenance and telecommunications service expense did not contribute significantly to operating expenses in 2002.
General and Administrative Expense.
General and administrative expense declined by Rp.197.2 billion, or 14.7%, from Rp.1,343.5 billion in 2001 to Rp.1,146.3 billion in 2002. In particular, the following events took place in 2002:
• | allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory obsolescence decreased by Rp.311.8 billion to Rp.31.1 billion, a decrease of 90.9%, as TELKOM reversed a provision applicable to doubtful accounts in the name of KSO III following the execution of a closing agreement with AriaWest on July 31, 2003; |

• | amortization of intangible assets from investment in Pramindo, Dayamitra and GSD amounted to Rp.188.0 billion in 2002; | |
• | professional fees declined by Rp.106.3 billion, or 32.7%, from Rp.325.3 billion in 2001 to Rp.219.0 billion in 2002, principally due to higher professional consultant fees in 2001 in relation to the cross-ownership transaction involving the sale of our interest in Satelindo and the acquisition of additional equity in Telkomsel; | |
• | collection costs increased by Rp.42.9 billion to Rp.224.8 billion, an increase of 23.6%, generally in line with the growth in TELKOM’s fixed line subscriber base and Telkomsel’s mobile cellular subscriber base, but also reflecting higher fees charged by third party collection agents used in some regional divisions; | |
• | general and social contribution increased by Rp.32.7 billion to Rp.69.4 billion, an increase of 88.8%, reflecting TELKOM’s implementation of the good corporate citizenship program in 2002; and | |
• | security and screening increased by Rp.28.3 billion to Rp.77.1 billion, an increase of 58.0%, reflecting the consolidation of KSO I Unit in 2002. |
Other components of general and administrative expenses did not contribute significantly to operating expenses in 2002.
Marketing Expense.
Marketing expense grew by Rp.155.1 billion, or 70.5%, from Rp.220.0 billion in 2001 to Rp.375.1 billion in 2002. The main contributors to the increase were the TELKOM Group marketing campaign which also included Telkomsel and Infomedia, the consolidation of Pramindo marketing expense that amounted to Rp.6.1 billion and the increase of marketing expense in several subsidiaries such as Telkomsel, which increased by Rp.59.1 billion, or 70.0% and in Infomedia from zero in 2001 to Rp.87.4 billion in 2002.
Operating Income and Operating Margin |
As a result of the foregoing, operating income grew by Rp.1,710.8 billion, or 23.1%, from Rp.7,419.4 billion in 2001 to Rp.9,130.2 billion in 2002. TELKOM’s operating margin decreased from 45.6% in 2001 to 43.9% in 2002 due to the higher growth of operating expense (31.7%) compared to the growth of operating revenue (27.8%).
Other Income (Expense) |
Other income (net) grew by Rp.3,488.2 billion from a net charge of Rp.869.5 billion in 2001 to a net income of Rp.2,618.7 billion in 2002. The main components of other income and charges are gain on sale of long-term investment in Telkomsel and interest expense. TELKOM’s interest expense increased in 2002 from Rp.1,329.6 billion to Rp.1,582.7 billion, an increase of Rp.253.1 billion, or 19.0%, but this increase was offset by a gain on sales of long-term investment in Telkomsel of Rp.3,196.4 billion in 2002 compared to nil in 2001 and a gain on foreign exchange-net of Rp.556.6 billion in 2002 compared to a loss on foreign exchange-net of Rp.378.7 billion in 2001 primarily due to the impact of Rupiah appreciation to TELKOM’s net liability position in foreign currency. There is no assurance that future interest expense will be similarly offset by these gains.
Gain on Sale of Long Term Investment in Telkomsel.
Gain on sale of long term investment represents the gain by TELKOM on the sale of a 12.72% shareholding in Telkomsel, which amounted to Rp.3,196.4 billion, for which there was no comparable amount in 2001.

Interest Income.
Interest income declined by Rp.91.8 billion, or 16.1%, from Rp.571.6 billion in 2001 to Rp.479.8 billion in 2002, reflecting primarily lower average interest rates offered in 2002 compared to 2001.
Interest Expense.
Interest expenses grew by Rp.253.1 billion, or 19.0%, from Rp.1,329.6 billion in 2001 to Rp.1,582.7 billion in 2002, reflecting primarily: (i) additional interest payable on promissory notes issued to the selling stockholders of Pramindo; (ii) additional interest expense from issuance of IDR bonds, guaranteed notes and other credit facilities obtained, in each case by TELKOM and Telkomsel in 2002; and (iii) interest expense related to the outstanding purchase price owed to Indosat in connection with the cross-ownership transaction.
Gain (Loss) on Foreign Exchange-net.
Gain (loss) on foreign exchange-net increased by Rp.935.3 billion from a net loss of Rp.378.7 billion in 2001 to a net gain of Rp.556.6 billion in 2002, reflecting primarily Rupiah appreciation during 2002 compared to 2001.
Equity in Net Income (Loss) of Associated Companies.
TELKOM’s equity in net income (loss) of associated companies increased by Rp.90.3 billion from a net loss of Rp.85.7 billion in 2001 to a net gain of Rp.4.6 billion in 2002. In 2001, TELKOM recognized a loss reflecting the reduction in the value of TELKOM’s investment in Komselindo.
Other components of equity in net income (loss) of associated companies did not contribute significantly to Other Income and Charges in 2002.
Others (Net).
Others (net) decreased by Rp.388.9 billion, or 110.2%, from other income (net) of Rp.352.9 billion in 2001 to other expense (net) of Rp.36.0 billion in 2002. In 2002, Others (net) included the following significant income and expense items:
• | Rp.171.2 billion in income from fines from subscribers; | |
• | gain on sale of fixed assets net amounting to Rp.130.4 billion; | |
• | Rp.101.5 billion impairment loss from investment in Telesera; and | |
• | Rp.179 billion provision for settlement of AriaWest. |
Other components of Others (Net) did not contribute significantly to Other Income (Charges) in 2002.
Income Before Tax and Pre-Tax Margin |
As a result of the foregoing, income before tax grew by Rp.5,199.0 billion, or 79.4%, from Rp.6,549.9 billion in 2001 to Rp.11,748.9 billion in 2002. Pre-tax margin increased from 40.2% in 2001 to 56.5% in 2002.
Income Tax Expense |
Income tax expense grew by Rp.892.1 billion, or 44.5%, from Rp.2,006.9 billion in 2001 to Rp.2,899.0 billion in 2002. The effective tax rate declined from 30.6% of income before tax in 2001 to 24.7% of income before tax in 2002. The decrease in effective tax rate was mainly attributable to a low

Minority interest in the net income of subsidiaries increased by Rp.335.6 billion, or 70.7%, from Rp.474.6 billion in 2001 to Rp.810.2 billion in 2002. The increase was primarily due to the decrease in ownership of Telkomsel as a result of the sale by TELKOM of a 12.72% shareholding in Telkomsel, increasing the minority interest in Telkomsel.
Net Income.
As a result of the foregoing, net income grew by Rp.3,971.3 billion, or 97.6%, from Rp.4,068.4 billion in 2001 to Rp.8,039.7 billion in 2002 principally due to the gain of Rp.3,196.4 billion through the sale of a 12.72% shareholding in Telkomsel. TELKOM’s margin increased from 25.0% in 2001 to 38.7% in 2002. The higher net income resulted in an increase in basic earnings per share from Rp.403.6 in 2001 to Rp.797.6 in 2002.
Equity.
Total shareholders’ equity increased by Rp.5,532.6 billion, or 60.9%, from Rp.9,081.0 billion in 2001 to Rp.14,613.6 billion in 2002. The increase in total shareholders’ equity was attributable primarily to net income for the year 2002 of Rp.8,039.7 billion and a decrease in the difference in value of restructuring transactions between entities under common control of Rp.296.0 billion related to the agreement by TELKOM to acquire 100% of Pramindo. In June 2002, TELKOM declared a cash dividend of Rp.2,125.1 billion.
Retained Earnings.
Appropriated and unappropriated retained earnings grew by Rp.5,944.6 billion, or 64.5%, from Rp.9,214.2 billion in 2001 to Rp.15,128.9 billion in 2002.
Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP
TELKOM prepares its financial statements in accordance with Indonesian GAAP and prepares a reconciliation of net income and equity in accordance with U.S. GAAP pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The following table sets out net income for the years ended and consolidated stockholders’ equity as of, December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 in accordance with Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP:

Summary of Significant Differences Between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indonesian GAAP which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. The significant differences are summarized below and are described in Note 58(1) to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Termination Benefits |
Under Indonesian GAAP, termination benefits are recognized as liabilities when certain criteria are met (e.g. the enterprise is demonstratively committed to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage early retirement).
Under U.S. GAAP, termination benefits are recognized as liabilities when the employees accept the offer and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
As a result, on a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company’s consolidated income before tax would have been Rp.140.0 billion higher in 2001, Rp.531.0 billion higher in 2002 and Rp.671.0 billion lower in 2003.
Foreign Exchange Differences Capitalized to Property under Construction |
Under Indonesian GAAP, the foreign exchange differences resulting from borrowings used to finance property under construction are capitalized. Capitalization of foreign exchange differences cease when the construction of the qualifying assets is substantially completed and the constructed property is ready for its intended use.
Under U.S. GAAP, foreign exchange differences are charged to current operations.
Consequently, on a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company’s consolidated income before tax would have been Rp.75.0 billion higher in 2001, Rp.107.4 billion higher in 2002 and Rp.76.8 billion higher in 2003.
Interest Capitalized on Property under Construction |
Under Indonesian GAAP, interest cost can be capitalized for qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are those that take a substantial period of time to construct for their intended use or sale (i.e., minimum of 12 months). To the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of interest cost eligible for capitalization on that asset must be determined based on the actual interest cost incurred on that borrowing during the period of construction less any investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings.
Under U.S. GAAP, there is no limit on the length of construction period in which the interest cost can be capitalized to an asset. The interest income arising from any unused borrowings is recognized directly to current operations.
As a result, on a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company’s consolidated income before tax would have been Rp.19.7 billion higher in 2001, Rp.43.0 billion higher in 2002 and Rp.39.1 billion higher in 2003.
Revenue-Sharing Arrangements |
Under Indonesian GAAP, property, plant and equipment built by an investor under revenue-sharing arrangements are recognized as property, plant and equipment under revenue-sharing arrangements in the books of the party to whom ownership in such properties will be transferred at the end of the revenue-sharing period, with a corresponding initial credit to unearned income. The property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives, while the unearned income is amortized over the revenue-sharing period. The Company records its share of the revenues earned net of amounts due to the investors.
Under U.S. GAAP, the assets under revenue-sharing arrangements are recorded and, correspondingly, an obligation under revenue-sharing arrangements is recorded. A portion of the investor’s share

Table of Contents
In connection with the different treatment of revenue sharing arrangements under U.S. GAAP and Indonesian GAAP, the Company’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.44.0 billion higher in 2001, Rp.68.0 billion higher in 2002 and Rp.23.2 billion higher in 2003, respectively.
Revaluation of Property, Plant and Equipment |
While Indonesian GAAP does not generally allow companies to recognize increases in the value of property, plant and equipment that occur subsequent to acquisition, an exception is provided for revaluations made in accordance with Government regulations. The Company revalued its property, plant and equipment that were used in operations as of January 1, 1979 and January 1, 1987.
Under U.S. GAAP, asset revaluations are not permitted. The effects of the previous revaluations have been fully depreciated in 2002, such that there is no difference in equity as of December 31, 2002.
In connection with the different treatment of revaluation of property, plant and equipment under U.S. GAAP and Indonesian GAAP, the Company’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.4.1 billion higher in 2001, Rp.3.9 billion higher in 2002 and no change in 2003.
Pension |
In 1994 and 1998, the Company provided increases in pension benefits for pensioners. Under Indonesian GAAP, the prior service costs attributable to the increases in pension benefits for pensioners were directly charged to expense in those years. Under U.S. GAAP, because the majority of plan participants are still active, such prior service costs are deferred and amortized systematically over the estimated remaining service period for active employees.
Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company amortizes the cumulative unrecognized actuarial gain or loss over four years. Under U.S. GAAP, any cumulative unrecognized actuarial gain or loss exceeding 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the fair value of plan assets is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the expected average remaining service period.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company would be required to recognize an additional minimum liability when the accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of the plan assets, and an equal amount would be recognized as an intangible asset, provided that the asset recognized does not exceed the amount of unrecognized prior service cost.
The Company’s consolidated income before tax would have been Rp.19.6 billion lower in 2001, Rp.111.4 billion higher in 2002 and Rp.109.3 billion lower in 2003 under U.S. GAAP reporting.
Equity in Net Income (Loss) of Associated Companies |
The Company records its equity in net income or loss of associated companies based on the associates’ financial statements that have been prepared under Indonesian GAAP.
For U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, the Company recognized the effect of the differences of U.S. GAAP and Indonesian GAAP in the investment accounts and its share of the net income or loss of those associates.
As a result, on a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company’s consolidated income before tax would have been Rp.3.8 billion lower in 2001, Rp.0.2 billion lower in 2002 and Rp.0.2 billion lower in 2003.
Land rights |
In Indonesia, the title of land rests with the State under the Basic Agrarian Law No. 5 of 1960. Land use is accomplished through land rights whereby the holder of the right enjoys the full use of the land
98
Table of Contents
Under U.S. GAAP, the cost of acquired land rights is amortized over the period the holder is expected to retain the land rights.
The Company’s consolidated income before tax would have been Rp.6.4 billion lower in 2001, Rp.11.8 billion lower in 2002 and Rp.10.2 billion lower in 2003 under U.S. GAAP reporting.
Equipment to be Installed |
Under Indonesian GAAP, temporarily idle equipment or equipment that is awaiting installation is not depreciated.
Under U.S. GAAP, temporarily idle equipment should continue to be depreciated. In 2002, prior year equipment to be installed was fully installed and their carrying values have been reclassified to property, plant and equipment.
Consequently the Company’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.9.7 billion higher in 2002, with no change in both 2001 and 2003.
Revenue Recognition |
Under Indonesian GAAP, revenue from cellular and fixed wireless services connection fees are recognized as income when the connection takes place (for postpaid service) or at the time of delivery of starter packs to distributors, dealers or customers (for prepaid service). Installation fees for wire line services are recognized at the time of installation. The revenue from calling cards (“Kartu Telepon”) is also recognized when the Company sells the card.
Under U.S. GAAP, revenue from front-end fees are deferred and recognized over the expected term of the customer relationship. Direct incremental cost was not significant. Revenues from calling cards are recognized upon usage or expiration.
Consequently, the Company’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.81.4 billion higher in 2001, Rp.89.3 billion lower in 2002 and Rp.53.2 billion lower in 2003.
Goodwill |
Under Indonesian GAAP, goodwill is amortized over a period, not exceeding 20 years, that it is expected to benefit the Company.
Under U.S. GAAP, effective January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized but rather subjected to a test for impairment.
Consequently, the Company’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.21.3 billion higher in 2002 and Rp.21.3 billion higher in 2003, with no change in 2001.
Capital Leases |
Under Indonesian GAAP, a leased asset is capitalized only if all of the following criteria are met: (a) the lessee has an option to purchase the leased asset at the end of the lease period at a price agreed upon at the inception of the lease agreement, and (b) the sum of periodic lease payments, plus the residual value, will cover the acquisition price of the leased asset and related interest, and (c) there is a minimum lease period of 2 years.
Under U.S. GAAP, a leased asset is capitalized if one of the following criteria is met: (a) there is an automatic transfer of ownership at the end of the lease term; or (b) the lease contains a bargain
99
Table of Contents
Consequently the Company’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.14.2 billion higher in 2002 and Rp.6.9 billion higher in 2003.
Acquisition of Dayamitra |
The Company acquired a 90.32% interest in Dayamitra and contemporaneously acquired a call option to buy the other 9.68% at a fixed price at a stated future date and provided to the minority interest holder a put option to sell the other 9.68% to the Company under those same terms; meaning that the fixed price of the call is equal to the fixed price of the put option.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company should account for the option contracts on a combined basis with the minority interest and account for it as a financing of the purchase of the remaining 9.68% minority interest. As such, under U.S. GAAP, the Company has consolidated 100% of Dayamitra and attributed the stated yield earned under the combined derivative and minority interest position to interest expense.
Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company accounts for the remaining 9.68% of Dayamitra as a minority interest. In addition, the option price that has been paid by the Company is presented as “Advance payments for investments in shares of stock.”
Consequently the Company’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.4.2 billion lower in 2001, Rp.9.3 billion lower in 2002 and Rp.24.5 billion lower in 2003.
Reversal of Difference Due to Change of Equity in Associated Companies |
Under Indonesian GAAP, differences previously charged directly to equity as a result of equity transactions in associated companies are released to the statement of income upon the sale of an interest in the associate in proportion with the percentage of the interest sold.
Under U.S. GAAP, it is the Company’s policy to include differences resulting from equity transactions in associated companies in equity. Such amounts cannot be released to the statement of income and consequently remain in equity indefinitely.
Consequently, TELKOM’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.65.2 billion lower in 2002 and Rp.38.4 billion lower in 2003.
Asset Retirement Obligations |
Under Indonesian GAAP, legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of long-lived assets are charged to current operations as incurred.
Under U.S. GAAP, the obligations are capitalized to the related long-lived assets and depreciated over the useful life of the assets.
Consequently, the Company’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.0.9 billion lower in 2003.
Deferred Income Taxes |
Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company does not recognize deferred taxes on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of equity method investments when it is not probable that these differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future.
100
Table of Contents
Under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxes are recognized in full on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of equity method investments.
Consequently, the Company’s consolidated income before tax would have been Rp.119.5 billion higher in 2003.
Impairment of Assets |
Under Indonesian GAAP, an impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of fixed assets is the greater of its net selling price or value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss can be reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is only reversed to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Under U.S. GAAP, an impairment loss is recognized whenever the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on quoted market prices in active markets or discounting estimated future cash flows. Reversal of previously recognized impairment losses is prohibited.
There were no impairment charges recognized by the Company and therefore, there are no differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP for impairment of assets.
Gain (Loss) on Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment |
Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company classifies gain (loss) on sale of property, plant and equipment as a component of other income (expenses) that is excluded from the determination of operating income.
Under U.S. GAAP, gain (loss) on sale of property, plant and equipment is classified as a component of operating expenses and is therefore included in the determination of operating income.
Consequently, the Company’s operating income would have been Rp.10.9 billion higher in 2001, Rp.130.5 billion higher in 2002 and Rp.182.9 billion higher in 2003 and other income (expenses) would have been lower by the same amounts in each of 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
The amounts included in the reconciliation below show the income tax effects of the differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP as described above.
A summary of the significant adjustments to consolidated net income for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and to consolidated stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 which would be required if U.S. GAAP had been applied, instead of Indonesian GAAP, in the consolidated financial statements are set forth below:

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
TELKOM expects to have substantial liquidity and capital resources requirements in 2004 and 2005 as it continues to develop and expand its existing businesses, including entering into new businesses. TELKOM expects that these expenditures will be important factors in preparing to face tight competition as the Indonesian telecommunications market has been deregulated and maintaining its current position as the leading Indonesian telecommunications and full-service network provider.
In 2004 and 2005, TELKOM expects its principal liquidity and capital resources requirements, aside from its requirements for working capital and to make payments of dividends and taxes, will at least consist of the following:
• | capital expenditures for existing and new network and backbone infrastructure, including the expansion of TELKOM’s CDMA network, a satellite, fiber optic transmission network from Kalimantan and Sulawesi, fiber optic transmission networks in Jakarta, Surabaya and Bandung-Cirebon, a submarine optical cable to connect Dumai (Indonesia) to Melaka (Malaysia), installation and upgrading of fixed lines and increased capacity in its mobile cellular service conducted through Telkomsel (see “— Capital Expenditures”); | |
• | debt service requirements relating to existing indebtedness, including two-step loans and indebtedness of subsidiaries; | |
• | installment payments of the purchase price for shares of AriaWest in 2003; | |
• | payments under the Short-Term Loan Agreement with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. Jakarta which financed the payment of the outstanding installments of the purchase price for shares in Pramindo; | |
• | payment of post-retirement benefits and long-service awards in 2004; and | |
• | fixed monthly payments to MGTI pursuant to the amended and restated agreement for KSO IV, commencing March 2004 and terminating in 2010. |
While still uncertain, liquidity and capital resources may be required in 2004 and 2005 to finance the acquisition of all or some of the equity interests held by shareholders of KSO Investors other than those that TELKOM has previously purchased or is in the process of purchasing (see “Business Overview — Joint Operation Schemes (KSO)”). Further, liquidity and capital resources may also be required in the event TELKOM is mandated to change its current DLD access code resulting from the
103
Table of Contents
Primary sources of financing available to TELKOM consist of: (i) cash flow from operating activities; (ii) financing from the bond issuance; (iii) financing from banks or export credit agencies (including financing procured by vendors); and (iv) deferred vendor payment terms.
TELKOM believes that these sources of financing will be sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures, anticipated working capital needs and likely contractual obligations and commitments in 2004 and 2005. Nonetheless, if global or Indonesian economic conditions worsen or do not improve, competition or product substitution accelerates beyond current expectations or the value of the Rupiah depreciates significantly against the U.S. Dollar, TELKOM’s net cash flow from operating activities may decrease and negatively impact its liquidity.
TELKOM manages the liquidity for all of its businesses, including KSOs controlled by TELKOM, on a total group basis. TELKOM is also responsible for managing the liquidity and capital resources of the KSO units, other than the KSO VII. See “Business Overview — Joint Operation Scheme (KSO).” However, Telkomsel manages its own liquidity and accesses capital resources independently of TELKOM.
With regard to Telkomsel, in 2004 and 2005 its management expects to continue focusing on enhancing and expanding Telkomsel’s network capacity and infrastructure. It is expected that these expenditures will allow Telkomsel to maintain its position as the leading provider of mobile cellular services in Indonesia in an increasingly competitive market for such services. In recent years, Telkomsel’s primary source of financing has been cash flow from operating activities and Telkomsel’s management believes that Telkomsel will continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operating activities to fund planned capital expenditures in 2004 and 2005.
Defaults and Waivers of Defaults under our Debt Facilities |
As a result of our failure to file a fully compliant Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2002 with the SEC by the June 30, 2003 filing deadline and our May 2003 press release relating thereto, we may have been in breach of certain covenants in our Citibank and Bank Central Asia (BCA) debt facilities that require us, among other things, to comply with all laws and regulations applicable to us and deliver financial statements to the lenders. We have obtained written waivers from both Citibank, acting as agent for the lenders under the relevant facility agreements, and BCA with respect to such breaches.
As discussed in Item 3.D. “— Risk Factors”, our failure to file a fully compliant Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2002 with the SEC by the June 30, 2003 filing deadline, could give rise to an SEC enforcement action or other legal liability and other adverse consequences such as a related de-listing of TELKOM’s ADSs from the New York Stock Exchange. Any of the foregoing could give rise to defaults under one or more of our debt facilities and cross defaults under other debt facilities with respect to such defaults. If we were unable to obtain waivers of any such defaults, indebtedness outstanding under such debt facilities could become immediately due and payable, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities |
TELKOM’s primary source of liquidity in recent years was cash flows from operating activities and from financing activities. Net cash flows from operating activities totaled Rp.7,012.6 billion in 2001, Rp.10,864.5 billion in 2002 and Rp.12,852.5 billion (US$1,522.8 million) in 2003. The growth in operating cash flows principally resulted from higher cash receipts from operating revenues as a result of the expansion of TELKOM’s fixed wireline business, growth in its mobile cellular business conducted through Telkomsel, higher interconnection revenues from mobile cellular operators and greater data and Internet revenues due to increased SMS usage, as well as the acquisitions of Dayamitra in 2001, Pramindo in 2002 and AriaWest in 2003. These higher cash receipts were partially offset by rising cash payments for operating expenses.
Year ended December 31, 2003 compared to year ended December 31, 2002. |
In 2003 compared to 2002, net cash flows from operating activities increased by Rp.1,988.0 billion, or 18.3%, primarily due to:
• | an increase of Rp.2,798.5 billion, or 19.5%, in cash receipts from telephone services, primarily from the increase in the number of subscribers for cellular and fixed wireless services, as well as from the acquisition of AriaWest; | |
• | an increase of Rp.2,506.7 billion, or 147.7%, in cash receipts from interconnection, primarily due to an increase in interconnection fees collected from mobile cellular operators; | |
• | an increase of Rp.2,800.0 billion, or 247.3%, in cash receipts from other services, primarily due to an increase in cash receipts from data and Internet services, particularly from greater SMS usage among Telkomsel subscribers; and | |
• | an increase of Rp.3,061.3 billion, or 52.8%, in cash payments for operating expenses, which had the effect of increasing cash outflows from operating activities. |
Year ended December 31, 2002 compared to year ended December 31, 2001. |
In 2002 compared to 2001, net cash flows from operating activities increased by Rp.3,929.1 billion, or 56.0%, primarily due to:
• | an increase of Rp.2,781.8 billion, or 24.1%, in cash receipts from telephone services primarily cellular services resulting from an increased number of subscribers as well as an increase in cash |

receipts from fixed line due to the consolidation of Pramindo in 2002, which enhanced cash inflows from operating activities; | ||
• | an increase of Rp.569.5 billion or 50.5% in cash receipts from interconnection primarily resulting from the acquisition of Pramindo; | |
• | a decrease of Rp.139.2 billion or 8.1%, in cash receipts from Joint Operation Schemes, primarily due to a reclassification of cash receipts from KSO I from Joint Operation Schemes to Fixed Lines following the acquisition of Pramindo; and | |
• | an increase of Rp.478.6 billion, or 9.0%, in cash payments for operating expenses, which had the effect of increasing cash outflows from operating activities. |
On balance, the foregoing movements in cash flows were partially attributable to the consolidation of Dayamitra’s cash flows into TELKOM’s consolidated financial statements in 2001 and Pramindo’s in 2002. Cash inflows in 2002 were also partly offset by a reduction in interest received of Rp.110.7 billion, or 18.7%.
Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities |
Net cash flows used in investing activities totaled Rp.6,115.8 billion, Rp.6,050.0 billion and Rp.7,305.9 billion (US$865.6 million) in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. In 2001, sizeable net cash flows were used for capital expenditures and acquisition of subsidiaries for cross-ownership transaction with Indosat, which were partly financed by reduced investments in marketable securities and time deposits. In 2002, the increase reflected cash flow for capital expenditure and amounts due on the cross-ownership transactions closed in 2001 netted against sizeable cash receipts from the sale of a 12.72% shareholding in Telkomsel. In 2003, the net cash flows were primarily used for capital expenditures.
Apart from cash on hand and cash in banks, TELKOM invests substantially all of its excess cash from time to time in time deposits. At December 31, 2003, only Rp.4.0 billion of time deposits had a maturity greater than three months and these were denominated in Rupiah.
Year ended December 31, 2003 compared to year ended December 31, 2002. |
In the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to the year ended December 31, 2002, net cash flows used in investment activities increased by Rp.1,255.9 billion, or 20.8%, primarily due to:
• | an increase of Rp.2,381.9, or 36.0%, in cash used for capital expenditures; | |
• | an increase of Rp.397.3 billion, or 26.5%, in the cash proceeds from investments and the maturity of time deposits; and | |
• | a decrease of Rp.1,542.7 billion, or 69.4%, in cash used for the purchase of marketable securities and placements in time deposits. |
Year ended December 31, 2002 compared to year ended December 31, 2001. |
In the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, net cash flows used in investment activities slightly decreased by Rp.65.8 billion, or 1.1%, primarily due to:
• | an increase of Rp.3,033.8 billion of cash out for capital expenditure; | |
• | a cash receipt of Rp.3,948.9 billion from the sale of a 12.72% shareholding in Telkomsel; | |
• | an increase in net cash out of Rp.4,246.4 billion from a net cash in of Rp.3,522.1 billion in 2001 to a net cash out of Rp.724.3 billion in 2002 for the investment in time deposits and medium term notes; and | |
• | a decrease in cash out for cross-ownership transactions of Rp.3,561.1 billion as the liability for cross-ownership transactions have been fully paid in 2002. |

Table of Contents
In 2002, payment of advance for investment in shares of stock of Rp.230.2 billion reflects the payment for option of Tomen’s share in Dayamitra (Rp.33.7 billion) and payment to AriaWest’s shareholders related to the CSPA (Rp.196.5 billion) for the acquisition of AriaWest.
Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities |
Net cash flows used in financing activities totaled Rp.1,662.8 billion, Rp.2,670.2 billion and Rp.6,177.4 billion (US$731.9 million) in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. In all three years, net cash flows from financing activities were driven primarily by repayment of current indebtedness and by cash dividends. In 2003, cash flow used in financing activities increased by Rp.3,507.2 billion, or 131.4%, primarily resulting from a 96.2% increase in the payment for promissory notes to Rp.1,513.1 billion and a 60.6% increase in payment of cash dividends to Rp.3,738.6 billion. These increases offset a Rp.956.8 billion decrease in payment for long-term indebtedness to Rp.1,536.9 billion.
Repayment of Current Indebtedness. |
At December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, approximately 63.2%, 68.5% and 89.2%, respectively, of TELKOM’s current indebtedness for borrowed money (consisting of current maturities of long-term liabilities and short-term bank loans) were denominated in foreign currencies, principally the US Dollar, such that the Rupiah amount of TELKOM’s cash flows used for the repayment of long-term liabilities was significantly affected by the appreciation of the Rupiah in 2002 compared to 2001 and in 2003 compared to 2002.
In 2001, 2002 and 2003, TELKOM made net repayments of current indebtedness for borrowed money of Rp.1,233.0 billion, Rp.3,342.0 billion and Rp.3,210.5 billion (US$380.4 million), respectively. Cash outflows in 2003 reflected payments for: (a) two-step loans of Rp.813.9 billion; (b) liability for the acquisition of AriaWest, Pramindo and Dayamitra of Rp.1,513.1 billion; (c) Rp.843.3 billion for payment of bank loans; (d) Rp. 160.5 billion for payments of guaranteed notes and bonds; and (e) Rp.152.6 billion for payment of Dayamitra’s suppliers’ credit loans.
Payment of Cash Dividends and General Reserve. |
TELKOM paid cash dividends and set up general reserve, as determined by the company’s annual shareholder meeting, as follows:
Dividend | Total Cash | Dividend | General | |||||||||||||
Date of AGM | Year | Dividend | per Share | Reserve | ||||||||||||
(Rp. Billion) | (Rp.) | (Rp. Billion) | ||||||||||||||
May 10, 2001 | 2000 | 888.654 | 88.16 | 127.0 | ||||||||||||
June 21, 2002 | 2001 | 2,125.055 | 210.81 | 425.0 | ||||||||||||
May 9, 2003 | 2002 | 3,338.109 | 331.16 | 813.7 |
In 2001, 2002 and 2003, the amount of cash dividends paid was effectively determined by the Government, which holds a majority of TELKOM’s issued and outstanding common shares. TELKOM believes that the Government considers various factors, including the views of TELKOM’s board of directors and the Government’s own funding needs, in determining the portion of each year’s net income to be paid out as cash dividends.
Escrow Account. |
In 2003, TELKOM recorded a net increase in escrow account of Rp.224.2 billion (US$26.6 billion), which represented the funding of a contractually-required escrow accounts established on May 17, 2001 and August 14, 2002 for the repayment of indebtedness related to the acquisition of Dayamitra and Pramindo, respectively.

Working Capital
Net working capital, calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities, was positive Rp.838.9 billion at December 31, 2002 and negative Rp.1,969.8 billion (US$233.4 million) at December 31, 2003. The decrease in net working capital was principally due to the use of proceeds received from a prior issuance of bonds and the sale of a 12.72% interest in Telkomsel, for payment of cash dividends to TELKOM shareholders, capital expenditures and payments arising from TELKOM’s early retirement program. In addition, TELKOM also had higher current liabilities related to capital expenditures and current maturities of long-term liabilities.
Current Assets |
Current assets were Rp.10,547.0 billion at December 31, 2002 and Rp.9,230.8 billion (US$1,093.7 million) at December 31, 2003, reflecting a decrease of Rp.1,316.2 billion, or 12.5%. The decrease in current assets was primarily due to:
• | a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of Rp.604.6 billion, or 10.6%, from Rp.5,699.1 billion at December 31, 2002 to Rp.5,094.5 billion (US$603.6 million) at December 31, 2003; | |
• | a decrease in trade receivables from related parties of Rp.475.9 billion, or 53.7%, from Rp.886.8 billion at December 31, 2002 to Rp.410.9 billion (US$48.7 million) at December 31, 2003; | |
• | a decrease in temporary investments of Rp.569.0 billion, or 99.3%, from Rp.573.0 billion at December 31, 2002 to Rp.4.0 billion (US$0.5 million) at December 31, 2003; and | |
• | a decrease in other current assets, which primarily consisted of restricted time deposits, of Rp. 646.7 billion, or 93.5% from Rp.691.8 billion at December 31, 2002 to Rp. 45.1 billion (US$5.3 million) at December 31, 2003. |
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents, temporary investments and other current assets primarily reflected use of the proceeds from the sale by TELKOM of a 12.72% shareholding in Telkomsel and the issuance by TELKOM of IDR bonds for the payment of a cash dividend to TELKOM shareholders, capital expenditures and disbursements related to TELKOM’s early retirement program.
At December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, approximately 13.3%, 34.0% and 18.8%, respectively, of TELKOM’s current assets were denominated in foreign currencies, principally the U.S. Dollar, such that the movements of Rupiah exchange rate against U.S. dollar across these years would affect TELKOM’s current assets.
Trade Accounts Receivable. |
Trade accounts receivable from related parties (net of allowance for doubtful accounts) decreased by Rp.475.9 billion, or 53.7%, from Rp.886.8 billion at December 31, 2002 to Rp.410.9 billion (US$48.7 million) at December 31, 2003. Trade accounts receivable from third parties (net of allowance for doubtful accounts) increased by Rp.502.1 billion, or 26.2% from Rp.1,919.9 billion at December 31, 2002 to Rp.2,422.0 billion (US$287.0 million) at December 31, 2003, primarily due to an increase in customer defaults. In the case of trade accounts receivable from related parties, the decrease was primarily due to the consolidation of KSO Unit III and the consequent decline in DTR and MTR receivable in 2003, as well as the sale by TELKOM of its ownership interest in associated companies, such as Komselindo and Metrosel.
The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade accounts receivable from related parties increased Rp.15.2 billion, or 15.9%, at December 31, 2002 compared to December 31, 2003, from Rp.95.7 billion at to Rp.110.9 billion (US$13.1 million), primarily due to an increase in the number of delinquent accounts of related parties.

Table of Contents
At December 31, 2003 compared to December 31, 2002, the allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables from third parties decreased Rp.74.3 billion, or 18.2%, from Rp.407.3 billion to Rp.333.0 billion (US$39.5 million), primarily due to the effect of a significant write-off in 2003 of receivables from defaulted customers.
Other Current Assets and Escrow Accounts. |
At December 31, 2003, Rp.45.1 billion (US$5.3 million) of TELKOM’s deposits were restricted for security interests in favor of other parties, of which US$4.6 million was used to secure Napsindo’s borrowings, an associated company and recorded as other current assets. TELKOM also had a balance of Rp.239.7 billion (US$28.4 million) in escrow account to be funded from time to time for payments of the purchase price for the 90.32% equity interest in Dayamitra acquired in 2001 and for the repayment of indebtedness owed by Dayamitra to former shareholders and a balance of Rp.276.4 billion (US$32.8 million) for payments of the purchase price for a 100% equity interest in Pramindo acquired in 2002. See “— Indebtedness — Acquisition Indebtedness and Option Purchase Price — Dayamitra”.
Current Liabilities |
Current liabilities were Rp.9,708.2 billion at December 31, 2002 and Rp.11,200.7 billion (US$1,327.1 billion) at December 31, 2003, reflecting an increase of Rp.1,492.5 billion, or 15.4%. The increase in current liabilities primarily arose from increase in the following: (a) amounts payable to suppliers primarily due to capital expenditures; and (b) current maturities of long term liabilities.
At December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, approximately 19.5%, 17.2% and 42.5%, respectively, of TELKOM’s current liabilities were denominated in foreign currencies, principally the U.S. Dollar, such that the movement of Rupiah exchange rate against U.S. dollar across these years significantly affected TELKOM’s current liabilities.
Current Maturities of Long-term Liabilities. |
Current maturities of long-term liabilities increased by Rp.853.3 billion, or 32.9%, from Rp.2,590.2 billion at December 31, 2002 to Rp.3,443.5 billion (US$408.0 million) at December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to current maturity of bank loans and amounts due on the acquisition of Pramindo and AriaWest.
Accrued Expenses. |
Accrued expenses decreased by Rp.734.0 billion, or 37.6%, from Rp.1,949.9 billion at December 31, 2002 to Rp.1,215.9 billion (US$144.1 million) at December 31, 2003. The decline was primarily due to realization of early retirement benefits of Rp.671.0 billion and the absence of an accrued expense relating to the litigation settlement fee for the dispute with AriaWest, which totaled Rp.179.0 billion in 2002 and which was paid in 2003.

At December 31, 2003, TELKOM had the following outstanding significant indebtedness:
• | Rp.7,691.0 billion (US$911.3 million) (including current maturities) in two-step loans through the Government; | |
• | Rp.1,121.2 billion (US$132.5 million) (after discount) in guaranteed notes which is owed by Telkomsel; | |

• | Rp.2,334.7 billion (US$276.6 million) (including current maturities) in acquisition indebtedness relating to TELKOM’s acquisition of 100% equity interest in each of Pramindo and AriaWest. |
In addition, TELKOM, on its own and through its subsidiaries, entered into several new bank facilities in 2002 and 2003 and owes amounts under various other facilities. These amounts were approximately Rp.1,732.4 billion (US$205.3 million) in aggregate as of December 31, 2003. These included:
• | Rp.857.0 billion (US$101.5 million) (including current maturities) from Telkomsel’s loan facilities; | |
• | Rp.255.9 billion (US$30.3 million) (including current maturities) from Dayamitra’s supplier credit loans and bridge facility (see “Dayamitra’s Indebtedness” below); | |
• | Rp.458.6 billion (US$54.3 million) (including current maturities) from loan facilities relating to TELKOM’s Sumatera backbone network and Regional Division V junction project; | |
• | Rp.160.8 billion (US$19.1 million) (including current maturities) from other loan facilities for other subsidiaries, including GSD, Infomedia and Napsindo. |
Two-Step Loans |
Since 1982, TELKOM has entered into a series of two-step loans in which the Government borrows money from supranational lenders and foreign export credit agencies, such as the World Bank and the U.S. Export-Import Bank, for on-lending to TELKOM to fund investment in property, plant and equipment. TELKOM obtained its last two-step loan in 1994 and, as a public company, is no longer eligible to obtain Government-assisted financing of this type. For a table of scheduled repayments of two-step loans, see “— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Contractual Obligations and Commitments” in Item 5.
At December 31, 2003, TELKOM’s outstanding principal indebtedness under the two-step loans totaled Rp.7,691.0 billion (US$911.3 million), of which US$348.7 million (Rp.2,946.7 billion) was denominated in U.S. Dollars, EURO18.8 million (Rp.200.0 billion) was denominated in Euro and Japanese Yen 17.4 billion (Rp.1,377.7 billion) was denominated in Japanese Yen. As of December 31, 2003, TELKOM has used all facilities of two-step loans and the draw period for the two-step loan has expired.
Two-step loans bear fixed or floating rates. Floating rates are determined by reference to interest rates on the average of 3 month Certificates of Bank Indonesia (SBI) during the six months preceding the installment due date plus 1.0% per annum for two-step loan which are payable in Rupiah and the interest rate offered by offshore lenders plus 0.5% for two-step loan which are payable on foreign currencies. Repayments of principal are due on the loans at various dates through 2025. For the years 2004 through 2008, aggregate scheduled repayments of principal range from Rp.578.3 billion to Rp.843.3 billion per year and average Rp.707.7 billion per year.

The Company must maintain financial ratios as follows:
• | Projected net revenue to projected debt service ratio should exceed 1.5:1 and 1.2:1 for two-step loans originating from World Bank and Asian Development Bank (“ADB”), respectively; and | |
• | Internal financing (earnings before depreciation and interest expenses) should exceed 50% and 20% compared to capital expenditures for loans originally from the World Bank and ADB, respectively. |
As of December 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance with the above covenants. Also see “— Guaranteed Notes”.
Guaranteed Notes |
In April 2002, Telekomunikasi Selular Finance Limited (“TSFL”), Telkomsel’s wholly-owned subsidiary, issued US$150 million in guaranteed notes (“Notes”). The notes bear interest at 9.75%, payable semi-annually on April 30 and October 30 of each year and will mature on April 30, 2007.
On April 23, 2002, TSFL entered into subscription agreements with UBS AG (“UBS”) whereby UBS agreed to subscribe and pay for the notes at an issue price equal to 99.709% of the principal amount of the Notes, less any fees. TSFL has further authorized UBS to have the Notes listed in the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “Singapore Exchange”).
Based on the “On-Loan Agreement” dated April 30, 2002, between Telkomsel and TSFL, the proceeds from the subscription of the Notes were lent to Telkomsel at an interest rate of 9.765% per annum, payable on the same terms as above.
TSFL may, on the interest payment date falling on or about the third anniversary of the issue date, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at 102.50% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest accrued up to the date fixed for redemption. If only part of the Notes are redeemed, the principal amount of the Notes outstanding after such redemption must be at least US$100 million.
On September 8, 2003, the agreement was amended such that if any Notes are cancelled, the outstanding principal amount of the remaining Notes will be reduced by the principal amount represented by the cancelled Notes.

On January 29, 2004, TELKOM signed a short-term loan agreement with ABN-AMRO Bank N.V. Jakarta (“ABN AMRO”) in the amount of approximately US$130 million. The loan proceeds were thereafter placed in escrow and were subsequently released to TELKOM on March 15, 2004, when TELKOM exercised its option to repurchase the remaining outstanding promissory notes TELKOM issued to Pramindo’s shareholders as payment for their shares in Pramindo. This allowed TELKOM to accelerate the purchase of the remaining 55% of Pramindo that it did not own. Following this transaction, TELKOM owned 100% of Pramindo. Subsequently, one share in Pramindo was transferred to TELKOM’s corporate secretary in order to comply with the legal requirement that Indonesian limited liability companies should have more than one shareholder and TELKOM now owns 99.99% of Pramindo.
Principal and interest on the ABN AMRO loan will be repaid in 10 monthly payments starting March 31, 2004 through December 31, 2004, with interest payable at one month LIBOR plus 2.75%.

In particular, TELKOM’s ability to make substantial future capital expenditures will depend on whether it is successful in implementing one or more forms of an innovative approach to financing, which TELKOM refers to as “pay as you grow”. See Item 3.D. “Risk Factors — Capital Expenditures — Financing” and Item 4.B. “Business Overview — Business Strategy — Reducing Cost of Capital.”
Planned Investments in 2004 |
In 2004, TELKOM plans to make capital investments in infrastructure, commercial services and supporting services.
Planned Investments in Infrastructure |
TELKOM’s planned capital investments in infrastructure in 2004 total Rp.4,170.8 billion, allocated as follows:
• | Rp.1,653.4 billion for capital investments in transmission infrastructure, which are expected to include investments in a fiber optic transmission network in the city of Surabaya, a backbone transmission network on the island of Kalimantan and Sulawesi and an additional ground satellite segment in Jakarta; and | |
• | Rp.2,517.4 billion for capital investments in access infrastructure, which are expected to include investments in fiber optic cable fixed line, copper wire fixed line and CDMA wireless access networks. |
For a more complete discussion of TELKOM’s planned infrastructure investments, see Item 4.B. “Business Overview.”

Table of Contents
Planned Investments in Commercial Services |
In 2004, TELKOM also plans to spend Rp.535.2 billion for capital investments in commercial services, allocated as follows:
• | Rp.305.6 billion for capital investments in fixed-line commercial services (including fixed wireless services), which include additional capacity, service enhancements and upgrades, including to its value added services and software and mechanical and electrical systems; | |
• | Rp.197.4 billion for capital investments in multimedia (including Internet, HFC and CATV services), which include increases in the number of VoIP access points, Internet multiplexing (IMUX) systems for Internet and data access, Internet value added services such as B2B e-commerce, and improving TELKOM’s HFC and CATV systems; | |
• | Rp.32.2 billion for capital investments in customer support and customer care, including the establishment of call center facilities, billing systems and TELKOM’s business enterprise project, which caters to the largest 20% by value of TELKOM’s corporate clients, as well as better network management and management information systems. |
Planned Investments in Supporting Services |
TELKOM plans to spend Rp.313.8 billion in 2004 for capital investments in supporting services, including research and development, building facilities and office facilities.
Financing |
In common with many Indonesian state-owned enterprises, TELKOM has historically relied on two-step loans financed by the Government and revenue sharing with co-investors to fund investment in property, plant and equipment. In recent years, however, TELKOM has funded its capital investments largely through internally generated cash flows from operating activities and direct borrowing from commercial banks. On July 16, 2002, TELKOM issued a fixed rate IDR Bond in the amount of Rp.1,000 billion with tenor of five years with fixed interest rate of 17% per annum. TELKOM is presently in the process of exploring alternative sources of financing for capital investment, including vendor-procured and other bank financing, as well as other potential sources of borrowed funds.
Two-Step Loans |
Since 1982, TELKOM has entered into a series of two-step loans in which the Government borrows money from supranational lenders and foreign export credit agencies for on-lending to TELKOM to fund investment in property, plant and equipment. TELKOM obtained its last two-step loan in 1994 and, as a public company, is no longer eligible to obtain Government-assisted financing of this type. See “— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness — Two-Step Loans”.
Revenue Sharing |
Until recently, TELKOM made use of revenue sharing arrangements to develop fixed line networks in heavily populated urban areas of Indonesia, public card-phone booths and its analog mobile cellular networks. Under these revenue sharing arrangements, investors finance the costs incurred in procuring and installing equipment, while TELKOM manages and operates the equipment, and bears the cost of repairs and maintenance, after installation and until the end of the revenue sharing period. The investors legally retain rights to the equipment during the revenue sharing period but transfer ownership to TELKOM at the end of such period. See Item 4.B. “Business Overview — Revenue Sharing Arrangements (PBHs).”
TELKOM did not fund any capital investments (other than capital investments in fixed line telephone services) through revenue sharing arrangements in 2001, 2002 or 2003 and does not intend to fund any such capital investments (other than capital investments in fixed line telephone services)

Direct Borrowing |
Beginning in 2002, TELKOM began funding a significant portion of its capital expenditures through vendor-procured and other direct borrowing from banks and other lenders, including the capital markets. On February 25, 2002, TELKOM borrowed US$4.0 million and Rp.90.0 billion from a consortium of Indonesian banks to finance the development of an Internet protocol backbone. TELKOM had never previously borrowed directly from a commercial bank to finance capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2003, the outstanding amount under these facilities are US$1.9 million and Rp.34.3 billion. On April 10, 2002, TELKOM borrowed US$44.4 million and Rp.173.0 billion from Citibank N.A. and PT Bank Central Asia to finance the development of a high performance backbone in Sumatera. As of December 31, 2003, the outstanding amount under these facilities are US$31.8 million and Rp.139.8 billion. On June 21, 2002, TELKOM entered into a loan agreement with several Indonesian banks in which Bank Bukopin acting as facility agent with loan facility amounting to Rp.150 billion to fund the development of regional junction Regional Division V project. A substantial portion of these loans were supported by export credit agency guarantees procured by the equipment vendors for the project. Prior to this transaction, TELKOM had not previously borrowed with the support of export credit agency guarantees, except in the two-step loans extended through the Government.
On August 27, 2003 TELKOM entered into a Loan Agreement with The Export-Import Bank of Korea for approximately US$124 million, with a portion of the loan amount to be used by TELKOM to finance its obligations under the Master of Procurement Partnership Agreement (“MPPA”) it had entered into with a consortium led by Samsung Corporation. As of December 31, 2003, TELKOM had not yet drawn down on this loan. However, as of May 31, 2004 TELKOM had drawn down a total of US$40.6 million from this loan. See Item 10. “Additional Information — C. Material Contracts.”
Pay as You Grow |
The Pay as You Grow program involves arrangements in which TELKOM and its equipment suppliers agree that a percentage of the contract cost will be paid upfront (typically 25%) and the balance will be paid once the lines are put into service. TELKOM and its suppliers also agree to work together to plan and design networks, assess capacity requirements and determine timetable for procurement. TELKOM expects that only a relatively small number of equipment suppliers will be invited to participate in pay as you grow programs and supply a substantial portion of TELKOM’s infrastructure and other equipment needs. See Item 4.B. “Business Overview — Business Strategy — Efficient Use of Capital Liquidity through New Term of Payment Alternatives with Lower Risk.”
IDR Bond Issuance |
See Item 5.B. “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness.”
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of TELKOM’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with Indonesian GAAP, as well as the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP, requires TELKOM to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses for the years reported. Management continually evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to useful lives of plant and equipment, pension and other post-retirement benefits, income taxes and legal contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are

Consolidation/ Equity method |
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and entities in which the Company directly or indirectly has ownership of more than 50%, as well as entities the Company has the ability to control, even though ownership is less than or equal to 50%. These entities are consolidated from the date on which effective control is obtained and are no longer consolidated from the date of disposal. The Company does not consolidate an entity if control is expected to be temporary.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the case of Pramindo, we have evaluated the scope and terms of this investment and have concluded that we have the ability to exercise control over Pramindo and the right to obtain all of the future economic benefits of ownership as though we owned 100% of the shares. The factors that we considered include, among others, the fact that the purchase price is fixed, our ability to vote 100% of the shares at general stockholders meetings, subject to certain protective rights retained by the selling stockholders, our ability to appoint all of the board members and management and our consequent ability to exclusively determine the financial and operating policies of Pramindo subject to certain protective rights, our issuance of irrevocable and unconditional promissory notes in settlement of the purchase consideration to the selling stockholders, the placement of the remaining 55% of shares not yet transferred to the Company’s escrow account as of December 31, 2003 by the selling stockholders and the protective provisions in the various agreements for the Company to take over all shares (including powers of attorney issued by the selling stockholders) or collapse the KSO arrangement once the full amount payable for the shares has been paid.
In addition to its operating subsidiaries, TELKOM has a number of investments in other associated companies. Such investments were intended to give TELKOM the ability to influence the business activities, such as the choices of technologies, of these associated companies. TELKOM’s general policy is to invest in companies that are associated with the following business sectors: fixed line telecommunications, cellular, television, Internet and shared services. In the majority of cases, our investments are in the range between 20 and 50 per cent of the equity interest of the investees such that they provide us with the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial policies of such investees.
We reflect our influence with these investee affiliates by accounting for our interests in them using the equity method of accounting which prescribes that TELKOM record its share of the earnings and losses of such investees. The carrying amount of the investments is written down to recognize any permanent decline in the value of individual investments. Any such write down is charged directly to current operations.
Investments in shares of stock with ownership interest of less than 20% that do not have readily determinable fair values and are not intended for long-term investments are stated at cost. The carrying amount of the investments is written down to recognize any more than temporary declines in the value of the individual investments. Any such write down is charged directly to current operations.
TELKOM periodically reviews each of its affiliate investee relationships to determine its amount of share ownership in its associated companies. TELKOM’s policy is to make its investment decision based on the performance and business prospects of the relevant associated company.

Revenue Recognition |
Revenues arising from fixed line voice transmission services, data communications facility services, leased circuit services and other transmission services are recognized at the time we provide these services to customers.
We recognize revenue from fixed line installation services at the time the installations are placed in service.
Revenues from cellular service connections (connection fee) are recognized as income at the time the connection takes place, while those from airtime and monthly subscription charges are recognized when earned. Revenues from prepaid card customers, which consist of the sale of starter packs, which include a Subscriber Identification Module (“SIM”) card and pulse reload voucher, are recognized as follows:
• | Sales of starter packs are recognized as revenue upon delivery of the starter packs to distributors, dealers or directly to customers; and | |
• | Sales of pulse reload vouchers are recognized initially as unearned income and recognized proportionately as revenue based on successful calls made by the subscribers or whenever the unused stored value of the voucher has expired. |
Other operating revenues such as revenue from network interconnection with other domestic and international telecommunication carriers are recognized as incurred and are presented on a net basis.
We are required to interconnect our networks with other telecommunications operators. In certain instances we rely on other operators to measure the traffic flows interconnecting with our networks. We use estimates in these cases to determine the amount of income receivable from or payments we need to make to these other operators. The prices at which these services are charged are regulated and may be subject to retrospective adjustment. We use estimates in assessing the likely effect of these adjustments.
Revenue earned under revenue-sharing arrangements is recognized on the basis of TELKOM’s share as provided in the agreement.
TELKOM’s share of distributable KSO revenue (revenue earned under Joint Operation Schemes) includes amortization of the investor’s initial payments, Minimum TELKOM Revenues (“MTR”) and the Company’s share of Distributable KSO Revenues (“DKSOR”). The unearned initial investor payments received as compensation from the KSO Investors are presented net of all direct costs incurred in connection with the KSO agreement and are amortized using the straight-line method over the KSO period. MTR are recognized on a monthly basis based upon the contracted MTR amount for the current year, in accordance with the KSO agreement. The Company’s share of distributable KSO revenues is recognized on the basis of the Company’s percentage share of the KSO revenues, net of MTR and operational expenses of the KSO Units, as provided in the KSO agreements.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts |
TELKOM provides services to certain of its customers on credit terms. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses based on our expected level of recoverability of accounts receivable, the aging of the accounts receivable balances and a review of status of individual receivables account.
Estimated Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment — Direct Acquisitions |
TELKOM estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment in order to determine the amount of depreciation and amortization expense to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are estimated at the time the asset is acquired and are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as taking into account anticipated technological or other changes.

Acquisitions and Business Divestitures |
The cross-ownership transactions with Indosat and a portion of the Pramindo acquisition representing Indosat’s interest in Pramindo have been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control because TELKOM and Indosat (at the dates of the relevant transactions) were both controlled by the Government. These transactions have been recorded at historical cost in a manner similar to that in pooling of interests accounting.
The difference between the consideration paid or received and the related historical carrying amount, after considering income tax effects, has been charged to equity as “Difference in value of restructuring transactions between entities under common control”.
The acquisition of a subsidiary from a third party is accounted for using the purchase method. The excess of the acquisition cost over TELKOM’s interest in the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill and amortized using the straight-line method over a period generally not expected to be more than five years.
Pension and Post-retirement Benefits |
We have a commitment, mainly through TELKOM’s pension fund, to pay pension and other post-retirement benefits to our employees and former employees who reach 56 years of age. The cost of these benefits and the present value of our pension and other post-retirement liabilities depend on a number of factors which we determine on an actuarial basis utilizing a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net periodic cost (income) for pension and post-retirement benefits include the expected long-term rate of return on the relevant plans assets and the discount rate. In the case of the post-retirement healthcare plan, the expected rate of increase in medical costs is also used. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the net periodic cost (income) recorded for pension and post-retirement benefits.
TELKOM uses long-term historical actual return information and estimated future long-term investment return information by reference to external sources to develop its expected rate of return on plan assets.
At the end of each year, TELKOM determines the appropriate discount rate, which represents the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of future cash flows currently expected to be required to settle the pension and post-retirement benefit obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate we considered the current yields on high quality corporate fixed-income investments. We were not able to identify suitable investments in Indonesia with a corresponding maturity to the expected duration of the benefit obligations so we have used a number of sources to extrapolate to match the timing of maturity. These sources include current and historical relationships
122
Table of Contents
The expected rate of medical cost has been determined by comparing the historical relationship of our actual medical cost increases with the rate of general inflation in the Indonesian economy. Past experience has shown that our actual medical costs have on average increased by a factor of 1.5 times the general rate of inflation. We have decreased our projected medical cost inflation from 14% at December 31, 2002 to 12% at December 31, 2003 to reflect the decrease in our medical cost trend experience which is in line with reducing general inflationary trends in Indonesia.
Other assumptions include life expectancy of the members, the rate of increase in compensation levels and the average remaining years of service.
Early retirement benefits are recognized at the time TELKOM makes a commitment to provide early retirement benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy. TELKOM is demonstrably committed to a termination when and only when, TELKOM has a detailed formal plan for the early retirement and such plan is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.
Income Taxes |
The actual tax we pay on our profits is determined according to complex tax laws and regulations. Where the effect of these laws and regulations is unclear, we use estimates in determining the liability for the tax to be paid on our past profits which we recognize in our financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts recognized for income tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available in future periods against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized or the tax asset will crystallize in future periods.
Under Indonesian tax regulations, a dividend distributed by a company to a corporate shareholder is currently subject to a zero percent tax rate whereas a capital gain on the sale of shares is subject to tax at the normal corporate tax rate. As long as we continue to hold our investments in our affiliated companies and the tax rate applicable to dividend distributions continues to be 0%, we do not need to record a deferred tax liability in respect of the undistributed earnings of these affiliated companies.
A change in our intention to hold an investment or other facts and circumstances may lead TELKOM to determine that we no longer expect to realize our interest in the undistributed earnings of the particular affiliated company in a manner which enables us to take advantage of the zero percent tax rate applicable to dividend distributions. Such a change in the future would require us to recognize a deferred tax liability with a commensurate charge to our income statement.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. If enacted tax rates changed, TELKOM would adjust its deferred tax assets and liabilities, through the income tax expense in the period of change, to reflect the enacted (or substantively enacted) tax rate expected to be in effect when the deferred tax items reverse.
Legal Contingencies |
We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings and have accrued amounts that represent our estimate of the probable outcome of these matters. Such estimates of outcome are derived from consultation with outside counsel, as well as an assessment of litigation and settlement strategies. Whilst we believe that our current accruals are adequate, a future event or change in the facts and circumstances may require us to make additional accruals which would be charged to our income

Pursuant to TELKOM’s Initial Public Offering in 1995, 116,667,000 shares of Common Stock were reserved for mandatory sale to employees of the Company. The Company paid for such shares (which were sold at the same per share price as the public offering price of shares of Common Stock sold in Indonesia pursuant to the Initial Public Offering (i.e., Rp.2,050 per share)) on behalf of its employees as follows: 90% of the purchase price was deducted from employee cash bonuses that had been previously allocated but not paid; the Company paid the balance of the purchase price plus taxes payable by its employees on the purchase of such shares (amounting to approximately 15% of the purchase price) and reported those payments as additional vacation pay, employee incentives and other allowances. TELKOM does not otherwise maintain an employee share scheme for any of its employees or senior management.
TELKOM’s mandatory retirement age for all employees is 56. Upon reaching 56, employees and their dependents are entitled to a pension under a defined benefit plan depending on their length of service to TELKOM. The amount of the pension entitlement is based on the employee’s years of service and salary level upon retirement and is transferable to dependents upon the employee’s death. The main sources of pension fund are the contributions from the employees and TELKOM. The participating employees contribute 18% of basic salary (prior to March 2003 the employee contribution rate was 8.4%) and TELKOM contributes the remaining amount required to fund the plan. TELKOM’s contributions to the pension fund were Rp.129.3 billion, Rp.297.4 billion and Rp.460.6 billion (US$54.6 million), for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. See Note 46 to the consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2003, TELKOM (a) increased the minimum pension benefit for retired employee to approximately Rp.425,000 per month and (b) increased pension benefits for employees who retired prior to August 1, 2000 by 50%. Current employees who effectively retired on or after July 1, 2002 receive an increase of monthly pension benefit amounting to twice the amount of their basic monthly salary. This policy applied to employees who retired at the normal pension age of 56.
The Company’s employees are entitled to receive certain cash awards based on length of services and after completing certain years of services which are either paid at the time the employee reaches a certain anniversary date or upon retirement or at the time of termination if the employee has met the required number of years of service.
TELKOM also provides post-retirement healthcare benefits for all of its retired employees, including their immediate family. There are two types of funding for post-retirement healthcare benefits: (i) for employees hired before November 1, 1995 who retired prior to June 3, 1995 or who have 20 years of service for those retired after June 3, 1995, such benefits are funded by the TELKOM Healthcare Foundation; and (ii) for employees hired after November 1, 1995, such benefits will be granted in the form of an insurance allowance by TELKOM. TELKOM’s contributions (including contributions paid by all KSO units) to the plan for employees hired before November 1, 1995 and who have had 20 years of service were Rp.56.4 billion, Rp.75.4 billion and Rp.188.4 billion (US$22.3 million), for the year ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
The post-retirement health care plan for employees hired after November 1, 1995 is accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP (SFAS 106). TELKOM’s actuary, in consultation with management, re-evaluated the key assumptions used in previous calculations, principally the medical cost trend projections and determined that it was necessary to make adjustments to original reports because the previous calculations contained certain errors and the assumptions used did not provide for all of the assumptions required to calculate TELKOM’s obligation. TELKOM, therefore, determined that adjustments were required to be made to its 2001, 2002 and prior years consolidated financial statements.
In May 2000, TELKOM employees formed a union named “Serikat Karyawan TELKOM” or “SEKAR”. The formation of SEKAR is in accordance with the Presidential Decree No. 83 of 1998

Accordingly, the Government will have effective control of these matters even if it were to beneficially own less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
TELKOM’s total number of shares immediately prior to its Initial Public Offering was 8,400,000,000, which consisted of 8,399,999,999 Series B shares and 1 Series A Dwiwarna share, all of which were owned by the Government.

The Government also conducted a global share offering listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange for 700 million Series B shares owned by the State of the Republic of Indonesia, which were converted into 35 million ADSs. Each ADS represents 20 Series B shares.
In December 1996, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia completed a block sale of 388 million Series B shares. In 1997, the Government distributed 2,670,300 Series B shares as an incentive to stockholders who did not sell their shares within one year from the date of the initial public offering.

Relationship with the Government
Government as Shareholder
As of December 31, 2003, the Government held approximately 51.19% of TELKOM’s Common Stock and the Series A share (the “Dwiwarna Share”), which carries special voting rights. As its largest shareholder, the Government is interested in TELKOM’s performance both in terms of the benefits it provides to the nation as well as its ability to operate on a commercial basis. The material rights and restrictions that are applicable to the Common Stock are also applicable to the Dwiwarna Share, except that the Government may not transfer the Dwiwarna Share and as the holder of the Dwiwarna Share has a veto with respect to (i) the nomination, election and removal of Directors; (ii) the nomination, election and removal of Commissioners; (iii) the issuance of new shares; and (iv) amendments to the

It is the policy of the Company not to enter into transactions with affiliates unless the terms thereof are no less favorable to the Company than those which could be obtained by the Company on an arm’s-length basis from an unaffiliated third party. The State Minister of State-owned Enterprise (“SMSOE”) has advised the Company that the MoF, in its capacity as controlling shareholder of the Company, will not cause the Company to enter into transactions with other entities under its control unless the terms thereof are consistent with the Company’s policy set forth in the preceding sentence. The Company anticipates that the SMSOE will adopt a similar policy.
Under regulations ofBadan Pengawas Pasar Modal (“BAPEPAM”), Indonesia’s capital markets supervisory agency, because the Company is listed on Indonesia’s stock exchanges, any transaction in which there is a conflict of interest (as defined below) must be approved by a majority of the holders of shares of Common Stock who do not have a conflict of interest in the proposed transaction, unless the conflict existed before the Company was listed and was fully disclosed in the offering documents. A conflict of interest is defined in BAPEPAM regulations to mean the difference between the economic interests of the Company and its stockholders, on the one hand and the personal economic interests of the members of the board of commissioners, board of directors or principal stockholders (a holder of 20% or more of the issued shares) and their respective affiliates jointly or separately on the other. A conflict of interest also exists when members of the board of commissioners, board of directors or a principal shareholder of the Company or their respective affiliates is involved in a transaction in which their personal interests may be in conflict with the interest of the Company. BAPEPAM has powers to enforce this rule; stockholders of the Company may also be entitled to seek enforcement or bring enforcement action based on this rule.
Transactions between TELKOM and other state-owned or controlled enterprises could constitute “conflict of interest” transactions under the BAPEPAM regulations and the approval of disinterested stockholders would have to be obtained if a conflict of interest were to exist. TELKOM believes that many transactions conducted with state-owned or controlled enterprises in the ordinary course of their businesses and TELKOM’s business are on an arms-length, commercial basis and do not constitute “conflict of interest” transactions for which a disinterested stockholder vote would be required. Such transactions might include the sale by TELKOM of telephone services to state-owned or controlled enterprises or the purchase by TELKOM of electricity from a state-owned enterprise. Moreover, the BAPEPAM regulations do not require TELKOM to obtain disinterested shareholder approval of any transaction, the principal terms of which were disclosed in the Indonesian prospectus for the Initial Public Offering. TELKOM expects, however, in light of the substantial presence enterprises owned or controlled by the Government, through the MoF, SMSOE, or one of its or their affiliates have in Indonesia, it may be desirable, in connection with the development and growth of TELKOM’s business, for TELKOM to enter into joint ventures, arrangements or transactions with such enterprises from time to time. Under such circumstances, TELKOM may seek to consult BAPEPAM in determining whether the proposed joint venture, arrangement or transaction would require a vote of disinterested stockholders under the terms of the BAPEPAM regulations. If BAPEPAM were of the view that the proposed joint venture, arrangement or transaction would not require a vote of disinterested stockholders under its regulations, TELKOM would proceed without seeking disinterested stockholders approval. If, however, BAPEPAM were to take the position that the proposal would require a vote of disinterested stockholders under its rule, TELKOM would either seek to obtain the requisite disinterested stockholder approval or abandon the proposal.

Government as Regulator |
The Government regulates the telecommunications sector through the MoC. In particular, the MoC has authority to issue decrees implementing laws, which are typically broad in scope, thereby giving the Ministry considerable latitude in implementing and enforcing regulatory policy. Pursuant to such decrees, the MoC defines the industry structure, determines the tariff formula, determines TELKOM’s USO obligations and otherwise controls many factors that may affect TELKOM’s competitive position, operations and financial condition. Through the DGPT, the Government regulates frequency and bandwidth allocation and TELKOM must obtain a license from the DGPT for each of its services as well as the utilization of frequency and bandwidths. The Company and other operators are also required to pay radio frequency usage fees. Telkomsel also holds several licenses issued by the MoC for the provision of its cellular services and from the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board relating to investment by Telkomsel for the development of cellular phone line services with national coverage, including the expansion of its network coverage. The Government through the MoC, as regulator has the power to grant new licenses for the establishment of new joint ventures and other arrangements, particularly in the telecommunications sector.
Government as Lender |
As of December 31, 2003, the Government had sub-loaned borrowings from foreign lenders to TELKOM amounting to Rp.7,691.0 billion (US$911.3 million), including current maturities.

At the end of December 2003, foreign currency loans represented 58.8% of the outstanding total of such loans. The remaining 41.2% of such outstanding loans is denominated in Rupiah. In 2003, the annual interest rates charged on loans repayable in Rupiah range from 1.86% to 13.25%, on those repayable in U.S. Dollar range from 4.0% to 7.98% and on those repayable in Japanese Yen range from 3.1% to 3.2%.
Government as Customer |
The Government purchases services from the Company on a commercial basis. Government entities, in the aggregate, constitute the largest user of the Company’s services. The Company, however, deals with the various departments and agencies of the Government as separate customers and the provision of services to any single department or agency does not constitute a material part of TELKOM’s revenues. The Government and government agencies are treated for tariff purposes as “residential”. which rates are lower than the business service rates.

These transfers are to be covered in a separate agreement between Satelindo and the Company. The separate agreement regarding the transfers of these satellites and other assets has not been made. However, the useful life of the B-2P and B-2R Palapa satellites had expired. In November 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party, in which the Company agreed to sell the expired B-2R Satellite, or to lease the satellite to such third party if the sale is not consummated.

Material Litigation
Aria West |
On July 31, 2003, TELKOM acquired 100% of the shares of its KSO partner for Regional Division III, PT AriaWest International (“AriaWest”) for an aggregate consideration of US$38.67 million in cash (US$20 million of which was paid when the purchase agreement was signed on May 8, 2002 and the remaining US$18.67 million was paid on July 31, 2003) and US$109.1 million in promissory notes. The promissory notes, which are interest-free, are payable in 10 semi-annual installments. At the same time, in consideration of the release of AriaWest’s outstanding obligations to its lenders, TELKOM also repaid approximately US$99 million of AriaWest’s debt (on behalf of AriaWest) and entered into a new loan agreement for approximately US$197 million with AriaWest’s lenders. TELKOM and AriaWest also entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which TELKOM and AriaWest irrevocably settled, discharged and released claims and counterclaims in their ICC arbitration proceeding and TELKOM agreed to pay a settlement amount of US$20 million.
The ICC arbitration proceeding which was settled as of July 31, 2003 involved claims by AriaWest that TELKOM was in material breach of provisions of the KSO Agreement. AriaWest sought at least US$1.3 billion in damages in the arbitration, although it did not specify the amount of damages associated with most of its claims. TELKOM objected to the ICC’s jurisdiction over AriaWest’s claims relating to the alleged loss of AriaWest’s exclusive rights and tariff adjustment and, wholly apart from its jurisdictional objections, TELKOM denied all of AriaWest’s claims. TELKOM also asserted claims against AriaWest for material breaches of the KSO Agreement.
KAP Eddy Pianto |
On February 19, 2004, KAP Eddy Pianto, the auditor initially appointed by TELKOM to audit TELKOM’s 2002 financial statements, commenced a legal suit in the South Jakarta District Court against KAP Drs. Haryanto Sahari & Rekan (member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers in Indonesia, formerly known as KAP Drs. Hadi Sutanto & Rekan and TELKOM’s auditor for the reaudit of TELKOM’s 2002 financial statements), TELKOM, KAP Hans Tuanakotta Mustofa & Halim (formerly KAP Hans Tuanakotta & Mustofa) (member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu in Indonesia and TELKOM’s 2001 auditor) and BAPEPAM (collectively, the “Defendants”), alleging that the Defendants, through the reaudit of TELKOM’s 2002 financial statements, had conspired to engage in an illegal action against KAP Eddy Pianto, tarnishing the reputation of KAP Eddy Pianto in the public accounting profession. KAP Eddy Pianto seeks to recover approximately Rp.7,840.0 billion in damages from the Defendants. As of the date of this Annual Report, each Defendant has filed its response to KAP Eddy Pianto’s allegations, as well as its respective rejoinder to certain replies of KAP Eddy Pianto to such response. The court is now in the process of examining the evidence and witnesses presented by KAP Eddy Pianto and each of the Defendants. TELKOM is contesting this legal suit vigorously because it does not believe that the claim of KAP Eddy Pianto has any merit or that KAP Eddy Pianto has any legal basis to claim damages. As of the date of this Annual report, however, TELKOM can give no assurance regarding the possible outcome of the legal suit.
Apart from the above, TELKOM is not a party to any other litigation or legal proceedings which it believes would, individually or taken as a whole, have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Indonesian Securities Market
Currently there are two stock exchanges in Indonesia. The primary market is the JSX located in Jakarta and the other is the SSX located in Surabaya, East Java. The JSX is the larger and more prominent of the two exchanges, with an aggregate equity market capitalization of Rp.460.4 trillion at year end 2003 as compared to Rp.405.0 trillion for the SSX. Total trading value on the JSX during 2003 was Rp.125.4 trillion, compared with Rp.3.1 trillion on the SSX.
Overview of the JSX |
There are currently two daily trading sessions from Monday to Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. There are two trading sessions on Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Trading is divided into three market segments: regular market, negotiation market and cash market. The regular market is the mechanism for trading stock in standard lots on a continuous auction market during exchange hours. With respect to the trading of stock, the round lots consist of 500 shares for non-banking sector shares and of 5,000 shares for banking sector shares. The price movements and the limits for such movements in one trading session are determined in accordance with the market price of the respective traded shares. For shares with the market price of less than Rp.500 the movement are in multiples of Rp.5 and each price movement is limited to Rp.50. For shares with market prices ranging from Rp.500 to Rp.5,000 movements are in multiples of Rp.25 and each price movement is limited to Rp.250. For shares with a market price of Rp.5,000 or more movements are in multiples of Rp.50 with a maximum of Rp.500 for each price movement. Auctioning takes place according to both price and time priority. Price priority gives priority to buying orders at a higher price or selling orders at a lower price. If buying or selling orders are placed at the same price, priority is given to the buying or selling order placed first (time priority).
The negotiation market trading consists of (i) block trading, i.e. lots of 200,000 shares or more; (ii) odd lot trading with round lots of less than 500 shares or less than 5000 shares for banking companies; (iii) crossing by an exchange member receiving buying and selling orders for the same number of shares at the same price; and (iv) foreign board trading in stocks where foreign ownership has reached 49% of listed shares. Odd lots may not be traded more than 5% above or below the latest price on the regular market. Odd lot dealers may set prices within a range of not more than 7% above or below the regular market price and must buy or sell stock directly to and from customers in crossing without charging commission. In the case of newly listed or newly traded shares which have yet to establish a market price, the price referred to is the initial public offering price.
Transactions on the JSX regular and negotiation markets are required to be settled no later than the fourth trading day after the transactions. In case of a default by an exchange member on settlement upon the due date, the Indonesian Clearing and Guarantee Corporation, PT Kliring Penjaminan Efek Indonesia (“KPEI”) may perform the obligations or rights of such a defaulting exchange member, by, for example, buying and/or selling shares in the cash market in order to settle the defaulted transaction. Any such action by KPEI does not eliminate the liabilities of the defaulting party which effected the transaction. All cash market transactions must be reported to the JSX. An exchange member defaulting in settlement is liable to a fine of 0.25% for the first day and thereafter a fine of 0.5% of the transaction value payable to his counterpart in the transaction and shall also be issued with a warning. Delay in payment of the fine is also liable to a penalty equal to 1% of the fine for each calendar day of delay.
The JSX board of directors may cancel a transaction if proof exists of fraud, manipulation or the use of insider information. The JSX board of directors may also suspend trading if there are indications of bogus transactions or jacking up of share prices, misleading information, use of insider information,

Exchange members may charge a fee for their services based on an agreement with the clients up to a maximum of 1% of the transaction value. When conducting stock transactions on the JSX, exchange members are required to pay a transaction fee equal to the cumulative transaction value for each month based on 0.04% (subject to a minimum fee of Rp.250,000) of transaction for stocks and other registered securities.
Stockholders or their appointees may request the issuer or a Securities Administration Bureau appointed by the issuer at any time during working hours to register their shares in the issuer’s Registry of Stockholders.

The Articles do not contain any limitations on the right of any person, to own shares of the Company. Indonesian capital market regulations do not contain any limitation on the right of any person, whether local or foreign, to own shares in a company listed on an Indonesian stock exchange.
Any takeover of the Company is required to be approved by the holder of the Series A Dwiwarna share and a majority constituting 75% of the holders of the Series B shares at a general meeting of stockholders that must be attended by the holder of the Series A Dwiwarna share. There are no other provisions in the Articles that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company.
Each director and commissioner has an obligation to report to BAPEPAM with regard to their ownership and the changes of their ownership in the Company and this obligation also applies to stockholders who have an ownership of 5% or more in the paid up capital of the Company. TELKOM believes that the Articles are not significantly different from those generally prevailing in Indonesia in respect of public companies listed on an Indonesian stock exchange. TELKOM also believes that the provisions in the Articles relating to changes in the capital of TELKOM are not more stringent than that required by Indonesian law.
Summary of significant differences between Indonesian corporate governance practices and the NYSE’s corporate governance standards
The following sets forth a brief, general summary of significant differences between the corporate governance practices followed by Indonesian companies, such as TELKOM, and those required by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of U.S. companies that have common stock listed on the NYSE. The NYSE listing standards are available on the NYSE’s website at http://www.nyse.com.
Overview of Indonesia law |
Indonesian public companies are required to observe and comply with certain good corporate governance practices. The requirements and the standards for good corporate governance practices for public companies are mainly embodied in the following regulations: Law No. 1 of 1995 on Limited Liability Companies (“Company Law”); the Law No. 8 of 1995 on Capital Market (“Capital Market Law”); the Regulations of the Indonesian Capital Market Supervisory Board (“BAPEPAM Regulations”); and the rules issued by the Indonesian stock exchanges, namely Jakarta Stock Exchange (“JSX”) and Surabaya Stock Exchange (“SSX”). In addition to the above statutory requirements, the articles of association (“Articles”) of the public companies commonly incorporate provisions directing the corporate governance practices in such companies.
Similar to the laws of the United States, Indonesian laws require public companies to observe and comply with standards of corporate governance practices that are more stringent than those applied to privately-owned companies. It should be noted that in Indonesia, the term “public company” does not necessarily refer to a company whose shares are listed on a securities exchange. Under the Capital Market Law, a non-listed company may be deemed a public company, and subjected to the laws and

In 2000, the Government established the National Committee on Corporate Governance (“NCGI”), an informal committee that was tasked with formulating good corporate governance standards for Indonesian companies. As a result, the NCGI formulated the Code for Good Corporate Governance (“Code”) which recommended setting more stringent corporate governance standards for Indonesian companies, such as the appointment of independent audit and compensation committees by the Boards of Commissioners, as well as increasing the scope of Indonesian companies’ disclosure obligations. Although the NCGI recommended that the Code be adopted by the Government as a basis for legal reform, as of the date of this Annual Report the Government has not enacted regulations that fully implement the provisions of the Code. For example, while public companies such as TELKOM are now required to have independent audit committees, they are not yet required to have independent compensation committees. Accordingly, many of the Code’s provisions have not been implemented by Indonesian companies.
Composition of Board of Directors; Independence |
The NYSE listing standards provide that the board of directors of a U.S. listed company must consist of a majority of independent directors and that certain committees must consist solely of independent directors. A director qualifies as independent only if the board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the company, either directly or indirectly.
Unlike companies incorporated in the United States, the management of an Indonesian company consists of two organs of equal stature, the Board of Commissioners (“BoC”) and the Board of Directors (“BoD”). Generally, the BoD is responsible for the day-to-day business activities of the company, while the BoC acts as the representatives of the company’s shareholders and is authorized and responsible for the supervision of the BoD and is statutorily mandated to provide advice to the BoD.
With regard to the BoC, the Company Law requires a public company’s BoC to have at least two members. Although the Company Law is silent as to the composition of the BoC, Listing Regulation No. 1A issued by the JSX states that at least 30% of the members of the BoC of a public company (such as TELKOM) must be independent.
As to the BoD, the Company Law states that the BoD has the authority to manage the daily operation of the company and must have at least two members, each of which must meet the minimum qualification requirements set forth in the Company Law. Given the difference between the role of the members of the BoD in an Indonesian company to that of their counterparts in a U.S. company, Indonesian law does not require that certain members of the BoD must be independent and neither does it require the creation of certain committees composed entirely of independent directors.
Committees |
The NYSE listing standards require that a U.S. listed company must have an audit committee, a nominating/ corporate governance committee and a compensation committee. Each of these committees must consist solely of independent directors and must have a written charter that addresses certain matters specified in the listing standards.
The Company Law does not require Indonesian public companies to form any of the committees described in the NYSE listing standards. However, Listing Regulation No. 1A issued by the JSX does require the BoC of a listed public company (such as TELKOM) to form committees that will oversee the company’s audit process (which committee must be headed by an independent member of the BoC).
TELKOM’s BoC has formed an audit committee composed of six members: two independent commissioners and four members who are not affiliated with TELKOM. The NYSE listing standards

TELKOM’s BoC also re-established TELKOM’s nomination and renumeration committee on May 20, 2003. The committee was tasked with formulating: (a) selection criteria and nomination procedures for Commissioners and Directors; and (b) a compensation system for Commissioners and Directors for the 2003 fiscal year. In accordance with its mandate from the BoC, the committee will deliver a report regarding its activities during the 2004 Annual General Meeting of TELKOM’s stockholders.
For more information on TELKOM’s BoC committees, see Item 6. “Directors, Senior Management and Employees — A. Directors and Senior Managers — Board of Commissioners’ Committees.”
Disclosure regarding corporate governance |
The NYSE listing standards require U.S. companies to adopt, and post on their websites, a set of corporate governance guidelines. The guidelines must address, among other things: director qualification standards, director responsibilities, director access to management and independent advisers, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, management succession, and an annual performance evaluation itself. In addition, the CEO of a U.S. company must certify to the NYSE annually that he or she is not aware of any violations by the company of the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards. The certification must be disclosed in the company’s annual report to shareholders. There are no disclosure requirements in Indonesian law similar to the NYSE listing standards described above. However, the Capital Market Law generally requires Indonesian public companies to disclose certain types of information to shareholders and to BAPEPAM, particularly information relating to changes in the public company’s shareholdings and material facts that may affect the decision of shareholders to maintain their share ownership in such public company.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics |
The NYSE listing standards require each U.S. listed company to adopt, and post on its website, a code of business conduct and ethics for its directors, officers and employees. There is no similar requirement under Indonesian law. However, companies that are required to submit periodic reports to the SEC, including TELKOM, must disclose in their Annual Reports whether they have adopted a code of ethics for their senior financial officers. Although the requirements as to the contents of the code of ethics under SEC rules are not identical to those set forth in the NYSE listing standards, there are significant similarities. Under SEC rules, the code of ethics must be designed to promote: (a) honest and ethical conduct, including the handling of conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (b) full, fair, accurate and timely disclosure in reports and documents filed with or submitted to the SEC; (c) compliance with applicable laws and regulations; (d) prompt internal reporting of violations of the code; and (e) accountability for adherence to the code. Furthermore, shareholders must be given access to physical or electronic copies of the code. See Item 16B. “Code of Ethics.”

D. Exchange controls
Foreign Equity Ownership Restrictions
Prior to September 1997, foreign investors were only permitted to purchase up to 49% of shares offered in a public offering and up to 49% of the publicly listed shares of any Indonesian listed company regardless of the nature of their activities. On September 4, 1997, such restrictions were removed for most Indonesian companies, including TELKOM.
Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange controls were abolished in 1971 and Indonesia now maintains a liberal foreign exchange system that permits the free flow of foreign exchange. Capital transactions, including remittances of capital, profits, dividends and interest, are free of exchange controls. A number of regulations, however, have an impact on the exchange system. For example, only banks are authorized to deal in foreign exchange and execute exchange transactions related to the import and export of goods. In addition, Indonesian banks (including branches of foreign banks in Indonesia) are required to report to Bank Indonesia (the Indonesian Central Bank) any fund transfers exceeding US$10,000. As a state-owned company, TELKOM, based on the decree of the Head of Foreign Commercial Loan Coordinating Team (“PKLN”), is required to obtain an approval from PKLN prior to acquiring foreign commercial loans and must submit periodical reports to PKLN during the term of the loans.
Bank Indonesia holds the authority to issue Rupiah currency and has responsibility for maintaining the stability of the Rupiah. Prior to August 14, 1997, Bank Indonesia maintained stability of the Rupiah through a trading band policy, pursuant to which Bank Indonesia would enter the foreign currency market and buy or sell Rupiah, as required, when trading in the Rupiah exceeded bid and offer prices announced by Bank Indonesia on a daily basis. On August 14, 1997, Bank Indonesia terminated the trading band policy, effectively free floating the Rupiah against other currencies. Since that date, the Rupiah has depreciated significantly against world currencies.
During the past 25 years, the value of the Rupiah has been devalued three times against the U.S. Dollar. These downward adjustments occurred in November 1978, when the exchange rate was realigned from Rp.415 to Rp.623 to the U.S. Dollar; in March 1983, when the rate went from Rp.703 to Rp.970 to the U.S. Dollar; and in September 1986, when the rate fell from Rp.1,134 to Rp.1,644 to the U.S. Dollar. Between the time of the 1986 devaluation and August 14, 1997 the value of the Rupiah has gradually adjusted downward in value against the U.S. Dollar by about 4% annually. Since the free-floating regime was implemented in August 1997, the Rupiah fluctuation has been significant. During 2003, the average rate of Rupiah to the U.S. Dollar was Rp.8,573.40, with the highest and lowest rates being Rp.9,120 and Rp.8,165 respectively.
E. Taxation
THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY OF INDONESIAN AND UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS CONTAINS A DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCIPAL INDONESIAN AND U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF ADSs OR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE INDONESIAN AND UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF ADSs OR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.
Indonesian Taxation
The following is a summary of the principal Indonesian tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Common Stock or ADSs to a non-resident individual or non-resident entity that holds Common Stock or ADSs (a “Non-Indonesian Holder”). As used in the preceding sentence, a “non-resident individual” is a foreign national individual who is not physically present in Indonesia for

Dividends |
Dividends declared by the Company out of retained earnings and distributed to a Non-Indonesian Holder in respect of Common Stock or ADSs are subject to Indonesian withholding tax, currently at the rate of 20%, on the amount of the distribution (in the case of cash dividends) or on the stockholders’ proportional share of the value of the distribution. A lower rate provided under double taxation treaties may be applicable provided the recipient is the beneficial owner of the dividend and has provided to the Company (with a copy to the Indonesian Office of Tax Services where the Company is registered) a Certificate of Tax Residence issued by the competent authority, or its designee, of the jurisdiction where the Non-Indonesian Holder is domiciled (the “Certificate of Residence”). Indonesia has concluded double taxation treaties with a number of countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Mauritius, The Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Under the U.S.-Indonesia double taxation treaty, the withholding tax on dividends is generally, in the absence of a 25% voting interest, reduced to 15%.
Capital Gains |
The sale or transfer of Common Stock through an Indonesian stock exchange is subject to a final withholding tax at the rate of 0.1% of the value of the transaction. The broker executing the transaction is obligated to withhold such tax. The holding of founder shares or the sale or transfer of founder shares through an Indonesian stock exchange may, under current Indonesian tax regulations, be subject to additional 0.5% final income tax.
Subject to the promulgation of implementing regulations (which have not yet been issued to date), the estimated net income received or accrued from the sale of movable assets in Indonesia, which may include Common Stock not listed on an Indonesian stock exchange or ADSs, by a Non-Indonesian holder (with the exception of the sale of assets under Article 4 paragraph (2) of the Indonesian income tax law) may be subject to Indonesian withholding tax at the rate of 20%. In 1999, the Ministry of Finance issued a Decision that stipulates the estimated net income for the sale of shares in a non-public company to be 25% of the sale price, resulting in an effective withholding tax rate of 5% of the sales price. This is a final withholding tax and the obligation to pay lies with the buyer (if it is an Indonesian taxpayer) or the Company (if the buyer is a non-resident taxpayer). Exemption from withholding tax on income from the sale of shares in a non-public company may be available to non-resident sellers of shares depending on the provisions of the relevant double taxation treaties. In order to benefit from the exemption under the relevant double taxation treaty, the non-resident seller must provide the Certificate of Tax Residence to the buyer or the Company and to the Indonesian Tax Office that has jurisdiction over the buyer or the Company (if the buyer is a non-resident taxpayer).
In cases where a purchaser or Indonesian broker will be required under Indonesian tax laws to withhold tax on payment of the purchase price for Common Stock or ADSs, that payment may be exempt from Indonesian withholding or other Indonesian income tax under applicable double taxation treaties to which Indonesia is a party (including the U.S.-Indonesia double taxation treaty). However, except for the sale or transfer of shares in a non-public company, the current Indonesian tax regulations do not provide specific procedures for removing the purchaser’s or Indonesian broker’s obligation to withhold tax from the proceeds of such sale. To take advantage of the double taxation treaty relief,

Stamp Duty |
Any documents that are prepared in the transactions in common stock in Indonesia, which documents will be used as evidence in Indonesia, are subject to stamp duty of Rp.6,000. Generally, the stamp duty is due at the time the document is executed.
United States Federal Income Taxation
The following is a general description of the principal United States federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder, as defined below, of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the ADSs or shares of Common Stock. This description is for general information purposes only and is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly retroactively. The tax treatment of a holder of ADSs or shares of Common Stock may vary depending upon his particular situation. Certain holders (including, but not limited to, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, broker-dealers, persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. Dollar and persons owning, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting shares of the Company) may be subject to special rules not discussed below. The following summary is limited to U.S. Holders, as defined below, who will hold the ADSs or shares of Common Stock as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code and not as part of a “hedge,” “straddle” or “conversion transaction” within the meaning of Sections 1221, 1092 and 1258 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The discussion below also does not address the effect of any United States state, local or foreign tax law or any United States federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax law on a holder of the ADSs or shares of Common Stock.
As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a holder of ADSs or shares of Common Stock who is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States for United States federal income tax purposes, (ii) a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation, created or organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax without regard to its source, or (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
If a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds ADSs or shares of Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in such a partnership should consult their tax advisors as to the particular United States federal income tax consequences applicable to them.
Holders of ADSs evidencing Common Stock will be treated as the owners of the Common Stock represented by those ADSs. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized upon the exchange of ADSs for the holder’s proportionate interest in the shares of Common Stock, a holder’s tax basis in the withdrawn shares of Common Stock will be the same as his tax basis in the ADSs surrendered therefor, and the holding period in the withdrawn shares of Common Stock will include the period during which the holder held the surrendered ADSs.
You are urged to consult your tax advisor concerning the particular United States federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax considerations regarding the ownership and disposition of the ADSs or shares of Common Stock.

Taxation of Distributions |
The gross amount of a distribution with respect to ADSs or shares of Common Stock (other than certain pro rata distributions of ADSs or shares of Common Stock or rights to subscribe for ADSs or shares of Common Stock), without reduction for Indonesian taxes withheld, will be treated as a dividend subject to tax as ordinary income on the date of receipt by the Depositary or the holder of such ADSs or shares of Common Stock, respectively, to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A non-corporate recipient of dividend income will generally be subject to tax on such dividend income at a maximum U.S. federal rate of 15% rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income so long as certain holding period requirements are met. Dividends received from “qualified foreign corporations” generally qualify for the reduced rate. A non-U.S. corporation (other than a foreign personal holding company, foreign investment company, or passive foreign investment company) will generally be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (i) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary of Treasury determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information program or (ii) with respect to any dividend it pays on stock which is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. The Treasury Department has determined that the income tax treaty between Indonesia and the United States as currently in effect meets the requirements described in clause (i) above. In addition, the ADSs are expected to be readily tradable on the New York Stock Exchange, an established securities market in the United States. Distributions, if any, in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital and will be applied against and reduce such holder’s tax basis in such ADSs or shares of Common Stock. To the extent that such distributions are in excess of such basis, the distributions will constitute capital gain as discussed below. U.S. corporate holders will generally not be eligible for the dividends received deduction otherwise allowed under Section 243 of the Code for distributions to domestic corporations in respect of distributions on ADSs or shares of Common Stock.
If a distribution is paid with respect to ADSs or shares of Common Stock in Rupiah, the amount of the distribution will generally equal the U.S. Dollar value of the Rupiah distribution, including the amount of any Indonesian tax withheld, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the distribution is actually or constructively received by the Depositary or the holder of such shares of Common Stock, respectively, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. Dollars on that date. Any subsequent gain or loss in respect of such Rupiah arising from exchange rate fluctuations will be ordinary income or loss. This gain or loss will generally be treated as United States source income for United States foreign tax credit limitation purposes. If the Depositary converts the Rupiah to U.S. Dollars on the date it receives such Rupiah, U.S. Holders will not recognize any such gain or loss.
Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Code, U.S. Holders may elect to claim a credit against their United States federal income tax liability for Indonesian tax withheld from dividends received in respect of the ADSs or shares of Common Stock. The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex and prospective purchasers should consult their personal tax advisors to determine whether and to what extent they would be entitled to such credit. U.S. Holders that do not elect or are not permitted to claim foreign tax credits may instead claim a deduction for Indonesian tax withheld.
Taxation of Capital Gains |
The sale or other disposition of ADSs or shares of Common Stock by a U.S. Holder will generally result in the recognition of U.S. source gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other disposition and the holder’s adjusted basis in such ADSs or shares of Common Stock. This will result in a long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the ADSs or shares of Common Stock have been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gain of a non-corporate holder is currently subject to a maximum tax rate of 15% in respect of

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status |
Special adverse United States federal income tax rules apply to holders of equity interests in a corporation classified as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) under the Code. A foreign corporation will constitute a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes if 75% or more of its gross income for a taxable year consists of passive income (generally, interest, dividends, rents, royalties and net gain from the disposition of assets that give rise to such income) or 50% or more of its average assets held during a taxable year consists of passive assets. Passive assets are defined as assets that give rise, or that reasonably could give rise during the reasonably foreseeable future, to passive income.
Based on the Company’s existing and anticipated future operations, the Company believes that it is not, and anticipates that it will not become in the foreseeable future, a PFIC. If the Company is not operated in the manner currently anticipated, however, the Company may be considered a PFIC for the current or for a subsequent year depending upon the composition of the Company’s income or assets.
If the Company is or becomes a PFIC, any gain upon sale or other disposition or any “excess distribution” realized by a U.S. Holder with respect to its ADSs or shares of Common Stock would be allocated ratably over the entire period during which the U.S. Holder held such ADSs or shares of Common Stock and would be subject to the highest ordinary income tax rate for each taxable year (other than the current year of the U.S. Holder) in which the items were treated as having been earned, regardless of the rate otherwise applicable to the U.S. Holder. Such U.S. Holder would also be liable for an additional tax equal to an interest charge on the tax liability attributable to income that is treated as allocated to prior years as if such liability had actually been due in each such prior year.
In general, an “excess distribution” is any distribution with respect to the Company’s ADSs or shares of Common Stock to the extent it exceeds 125% of the average annual distributions with respect to such ADSs or shares of Common Stock received by the U.S. Holder over the prior three years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ADSs or shares of Common Stock.
If the Company is classified as a PFIC, it may be possible to avoid the adverse tax consequences associated therewith but only if (i) the U.S. Holder elects to annually mark-to-market the ADSs or shares of Common Stock and recognize ordinary gain or loss therefrom, or (ii) assuming certain conditions are met (which is not likely to be the case with respect to the Company), the U.S. Holder elects to include in income annually its share of the ordinary earnings and capital gain of the Company. Should the Company ever be classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors concerning the United States federal income tax consequences of holding ADSs or shares of Common Stock and of making the mark-to-market election. A U.S. Holder who owns ADSs or shares of Common Stock during any year that the Company is a PFIC must file with the IRS Form 8621.
Further, if the Company is classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder would not be eligible for a reduced tax rate on dividends paid on ADSs or shares of Common Stock. See “Taxation of Distributions” above.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
A. Disclosure About Market Risk
General
The Company is exposed to market risks primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates and equity price risk on the value of its long-term investments. The Company does not generally hedge its long-term foreign currency liabilities as it believes that the expenses associated with fully hedging such liabilities are not justified. Instead the Company hedged its obligations for the current year. As of December 31, 2003, foreign currency time deposits provided approximately 30% coverage against foreign currency denominated current liabilities. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is managed through maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rate liabilities and assets, including short term fixed rate assets, rates for which are reset periodically. The Company’s exposure to such market risks fluctuated significantly during 2001, 2002 and 2003 as the Indonesian economy has been affected by a significant fluctuation of the Rupiah and interest rates. The Company is not able to predict whether such conditions will continue during the remainder of 2004 or thereafter.
Interest Rate Risk |
The Company’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations results primarily from floating rate long-term debt pursuant to loans under the Government on-lending program which have been used to finance the Company’s capital expenditures which bears interest at rates based on the average for the preceding six months for three month certificates issued by Bank Indonesia plus 1% and from floating rate long-term debts of the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, Dayamitra, which bear interests at LIBOR plus a certain margin of 4% per annum. See Notes 24 and 29 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. To the extent interest rates in Indonesia fluctuate significantly, as they did from 10.95% in early 2003 to approximately 8.00% in early 2004, the Company’s interest obligations under its long-term debt could increase.

Table of Contents
The table below provides information about the Company’s material financial instruments, some of which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations and time deposits, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. The information is presented in Rupiah equivalents, which is the Company’s reporting currency. The instrument’s actual cash flows are denominated in Rupiah, U.S. Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen, as appropriate and as indicated in the table. The information presented in the table has been determined based on the following assumptions: (i) fixed interest rates on Rupiah time deposits are based on average interest rates offered in effect as of December 31, 2003 by the banks where such deposits were located; (ii) variable interest rates on Rupiah denominated long-term liabilities are calculated as of December 31, 2003 and are based on contractual terms setting interest rates based on average rates for the preceding six months on three month certificates issued by Bank Indonesia; (iii) variable interest rates on U.S. Dollar deposits are based on interest rates offered by the various lending institutions to the Republic of Indonesia as of December 31, 2003; and (iv) the value of marketable securities is based on the value of such securities at December 31, 2003. However, no assurance can be given that such assumptions will be correct for future periods. Such assumptions and the information described in the table may be influenced by a number of factors, including changes in interest rates in Indonesia and other monetary and macro economic factors affecting Indonesia. Such assumptions are different from the rates used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accordingly amounts shown in the table may vary from amounts shown in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Long-term debt, for the purpose of this table, includes liability for acquisition of a subsidiary and incorporated deferred interest. |
Exchange Rate Risk |
The Company’s exposure to exchange rate fluctuations results primarily from long-term debt obligations and accounts receivable and payable, which are primarily paid for through draw downs under the Government on-lending program and are expressed in U.S. Dollar, Japanese Yen, French Franc, Euro, Singapore Dollar and Netherlands Guilder. For a description of the Company’s foreign currency assets and liabilities, see Note 56 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Part of these obligations might be offset by increases in the value of foreign currency time deposits and by increases in the value of foreign currency accounts receivable, assuming that the counter-parties are able to meet their foreign currency obligations to TELKOM at market rates.

Table of Contents
The table below provides information about the Company’s financial instruments by functional currency and presents such information in Rupiah equivalents, which is the Company’s reporting currency. The information on instruments and transactions that are sensitive to foreign exchange rates, including U.S. Dollar, Netherlands Guilder, French Franc, Euro, Singapore Dollar and Japanese Yen debt obligations and term deposits and the Company’s accounts payable and receivable. The table presents principal cash flows by expected maturity dates. The information presented in the table has been determined based on the assumptions the exchange rates for U.S. Dollar as well as other currencies are based on the selling and buying rates quoted by Reuters on December 31, 2003, applied respectively to monetary assets and liabilities. The buying and selling rates as of December 31, 2003 were Rp. 8,430 and Rp.8,450 to US$1, respectively. Telkomsel applied the Bank Indonesia middle buy and sell rate for its monetary asset and liabilities which was Rp.8,465 to US$1.00 as of December 31, 2003. However, no assurance can be given that such assumptions will be correct for future periods. Such assumptions and the information described in the table may be influenced by a number of factors, including a fluctuation and/or depreciation of the Rupiah in future periods.

The Company’s long-term investments consist primarily of minority investments in the equity of private Indonesian companies. With respect to the Indonesian companies in which the Company has investments, the financial performance of such companies may be affected by the fluctuation of macro economic and social conditions such as the level of economic activity, Rupiah exchange rates against other currencies, inflation and interest rates.

Hadi Sutanto & Rekan), the member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers in Indonesia (“PwC”), TELKOM identified certain errors in and made certain adjustments to, its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 that had been previously filed with the SEC. Following discussions between TELKOM and KAP Hans Tuanakotta Mustofa & Halim (formerly KAP Hans Tuanakotta & Mustofa), the member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu in Indonesia (“Deloitte”), the auditor of TELKOM’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, TELKOM also identified certain errors in and made certain adjustments to, its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001.
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2003.
In making this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer considered matters relating to the restatement of our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, including the substantial process that was undertaken during the period from December 2003 through the date hereof to ensure that all material adjustments necessary to restate such previously issued consolidated financial statements were recorded.

Based on the evaluation described above and PwC’s and KPMG’s communications to our Audit Committee, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that these material weaknesses, if not addressed, could result in accounting errors and inadequate disclosures such as those underlying the restatements of TELKOM’s consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2002, which related to: (1) our accounting for liabilities for post-employment medical benefits; (2) our accounting for liabilities for long service awards; (3) our calculation of deferred income taxes; (4) our accounting for business acquisitions; (5) our accounting for installation revenues; (6) our accounting for revenue sharing arrangements; and (7) a substantial number of other individually less significant items.
In response to the matters identified by PwC and KPMG, under the supervision of the Audit Committee, our senior management has directed that TELKOM dedicate resources and take steps to strengthen control processes and procedures in order to prevent a recurrence of the circumstances that resulted in the need to restate such consolidated financial statements. These steps include, among others: (1) an assessment of the organizational structure of the finance department, including to determine additional resources which need to be dedicated to it; (2) the enhancement of all finance-related policies and procedures covering accounting and financial reporting; (3) the improvement of standard documentation requirements for the assessment of critical, significant and judgmental accounting areas; (4) the improvement of understanding of relevant Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP accounting principles and financial reporting responsibilities across all our business units through intensive and continuing training and proactive consultations with advisors on technical matters as they relate to our business; and (5) modification of the mandate of TELKOM’s internal audit function to place greater emphasis on the adequacy of and compliance with, procedures relating to internal control over financial reporting.
TELKOM, under the supervision of its Audit Committee, has been working to improve its internal controls and procedures, including those needed to enable it to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Due to the pending requirements of Section 404 and as a result of the “material weaknesses” identified by PwC and KPMG, TELKOM has: (1) retained KAP Prasetio, Sarwoko & Sandjaja, the member firm of Ernst & Young in Indonesia (“E&Y”), under the supervision of the Audit Committee, to assist TELKOM in improving its internal controls and procedures; (2) established a task force with responsibility for enhancing all finance-related policies and procedures covering accounting and financial reporting; (3) prepared a draft Action Plan to address the

Other than as described above, there have been no significant changes in TELKOM’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter period covered by this report, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, TELKOM’s internal control over financial reporting.
TELKOM’s disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the objectives of the control system. As such, disclosure controls and procedures or internal control systems may not prevent all error and all fraud. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within TELKOM have been detected.
TELKOM’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded, based on their most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, that the “material weaknesses” in TELKOM’s internal controls materially and adversely impacted the effectiveness of TELKOM’s disclosure controls and procedures relating to the disclosure of financial information, financial performance and management’s analysis of such information and performance and that the remedial actions referred to above to address such “material weaknesses” are necessary to ensure the effectiveness of TELKOM’s disclosure controls and procedures as they relate to such information. However, TELKOM’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer further concluded, based on such evaluation, that in all other material respects the design and operation of TELKOM’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports TELKOM files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

Table of Contents
Consistent with Section 10(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act and paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-K issued thereunder, the charter of TELKOM’s audit committee waives the pre-approval requirement for permissible non-audit services (x) where the aggregate amount of the fees for such non-audit services constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of fees paid by TELKOM to its independent public accounting firm during the fiscal year in which the services are provided or (y) the proposed services are not regarded as non-audit services at the time the contract to perform the same is signed. In either case, the performance of such non-audit services must subsequently be approved either by a member of the Audit Committee who has been delegated pre-approval authority by the full Audit Committee or by the full Audit Committee itself. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of TELKOM’s independent public accounting firms performed non-audit services for TELKOM during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003.

Report of Independent Public Accounting Firm
No. L.03-3737-04/ US
The Shareholders, Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of PT Telekomunikasi Selular (“Telkomsel”), a 65% owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets constituting 31 percent and total revenues constituting 40 percent of the related consolidated totals. Those statements, which were prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in Indonesia, were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Telkomsel, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. The consolidated financial statements of the Company for 2002 and 2001 were audited by other auditors whose reports dated January 29, 2004 and February 28, 2002, except with respect to certain items that were subsequently restated as to which the date is January 29, 2004, respectively, expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Indonesia and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Indonesia.
Accounting principles generally accepted in Indonesia vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 58 to the consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003 have been translated into United States Dollars solely for the convenience of the readers. We have audited the translation and, in our opinion, the consolidated financial statements expressed in Indonesian Rupiah have been translated into dollars on the basis as set forth in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
No. 280202 TI LSW SAR4 — 20F
The Stockholders, Boards of Commissioners and Directors
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001 of Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) P.T. Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk and its subsidiaries. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the Company’s acquisition of a controlling interest in PT Telekomunikasi Selular (Telkomsel), in a transaction between entities under common control that has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests as described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. We did not audit the financial statements of Telkomsel for the year ended December 31, 2001, which statements reflect total revenues constituting 27%, of consolidated total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. Those statements were audited by other auditors, who have ceased operations, and whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Telkomsel, is based solely on the report of such other auditors who have ceased operations.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards established by the Indonesian Institute of Accountants and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors who have ceased operations, the 2001 consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows of Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) P.T. Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Indonesia.

Generally accepted accounting principles in Indonesia vary in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). A description of the significant differences between those two generally accepted accounting principles and approximate effects of those differences on the net income for the year ended December 31, 2001 and equity as of December 31, 2001 are set forth in Note 58 to the consolidated financial statements.

1. | GENERAL |
a. Establishment and General Information
Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) P.T. Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk (the “Company”) was originally part of “Post en Telegraafdienst”, which was established in 1884 under the framework of Decree No. 7 dated March 27, 1884 of the Governor General of the Dutch Indies and published in State Gazette No. 52 dated April 3, 1884.
In 1991, based on Government Regulation No. 25 year 1991, the status of the Company was changed into a state-owned limited liability corporation (“Persero”). The Company was established based on notarial deed No. 128 dated September 24, 1991 of Imas Fatimah, S.H. The deed of establishment was approved by the Minister of Justice of the Republic of Indonesia in his decision letter No. C2-6870.HT.01.01.Th.1991 dated November 19, 1991, and was published in State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia No. 210 dated January 17, 1992, Supplement No. 5. The articles of association have been amended several times, the most recent amendment was made through deed No. 4 dated January 10, 2002, of Notary A. Partomuan Pohan, S.H., LLM., concerning the change in the Company’s objective, scope of activities, directors’ scope of authorities and the composition of the Company’s board of commissioners. The notarial deed was approved by the Minister of Justice and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia in his decision letter No. C-00682HT.01.04.Th.2002 dated January 15, 2002.
In accordance with article 3 of its articles of association, the scope of the Company’s activities is as follows:
1. | The Company’s objective is to provide telecommunications and information facilities and services, in accordance with prevailing regulations. | |
2. | To achieve the above objective, the Company is involved in the following activities: |
i. Planning, building, providing, developing, operating, marketing or selling, leasing and maintaining telecommunications and information networks in accordance with prevailing regulations. | |
ii. Planning, developing, providing, marketing or selling and improving telecommunications and information services in accordance with prevailing regulations. | |
iii. Performing activities and other undertakings in connection with the utilization and development of the Company’s resources and optimizing the utilization of the Company’s property, plant and equipment, information systems, education and training, and repairs and maintenance facilities. |
The Company’s principal business is the provision of domestic telecommunications services, including telephone, telex, telegram, satellite, leased lines, electronic mail, mobile communication and cellular services. In order to accelerate the construction of telecommunications facilities, to make the Company a world-class operator, and to increase the technology as well as the knowledge and skills of its employees, in 1996, the Company entered into agreements with investors to develop, manage and operate telecommunications facilities in five of the Company’s seven regional divisions under Joint Operation Schemes (known as “Kerja Sama Operasi” or “KSO”).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Under Law No. 3/1989 on Telecommunications which took effect on April 1, 1989, Indonesian legal entities are allowed to provide basic telecommunications services in cooperation with the Company as the domestic telecommunications organizing body (or “badan penyelenggara”). Other Indonesian legal entities are also allowed to individually provide non-basic telecommunications services. In providing telecommunications services, these entities are required to obtain licenses from the Minister of Communications of the Republic of Indonesia (the Ministry of Communications assumed responsibility for the telecommunications sector from the previous Ministry of Tourism, Post and Telecommunications in March 1998). Government Regulation No. 8/1993 concerning the provision of telecommunications services, further regulates that cooperation to provide basic telecommunications services can be in the form of joint venture, joint operation or contract management and that the entities cooperating with the domestic telecommunications organizing body must use the organizing body’s telecommunications networks. If the telecommunications networks are not available, the Government Regulation requires that the cooperation be in the form of a joint venture that is capable of constructing the necessary networks.
The Minister of Tourism, Post and Telecommunications of the Republic of Indonesia (“MTPT”), through his two decision letters both dated August 14, 1995, reaffirmed the status of the Company as the organizing body for the provision of domestic telecommunications services.
Further, effective from January 1, 1996, the Company was granted the exclusive right to provide local wireline and fixed wireless services for a minimum period of 15 years and the exclusive right to provide domestic long-distance telecommunications services for a minimum period of 10 years. The exclusive rights also apply to telecommunications services provided for and on behalf of the Company through a KSO. This grant of rights does not affect the Company’s right to provide other domestic telecommunications services.
On September 8, 1999, the Government issued Law No. 36/1999 on Telecommunications to replace Law No. 3/1989. Under the new Law, which took effect from September 2000, telecommunications activities cover:
i. Telecommunications networks | |
ii. Telecommunications services | |
iii. Special telecommunications |
National state-owned companies, regional state-owned companies, privately-owned companies and cooperatives are allowed to provide telecommunications networks and services. Special telecommunications can be provided by individuals, government agencies and legal entities other than telecommunications networks and service providers.
Under Law No. 36/1999, activities that result in monopolistic practices and unfair competition are prohibited. In connection with this law, Government Regulation No. 52/2000 was issued, which provides that interconnection fees shall be charged to originating telecommunications network operators where telecommunications service is provided by two or more telecommunications network operators.
Based on press release No. 05/ HMS/ JP/ VIII/2000 dated August 1, 2000 from the Director General of Post and Telecommunications and the correction thereto No. 1718/ UM/ VIII/2000 dated August 2, 2000, the period of exclusive rights granted to the Company to provide local and domestic long-

Based on a press release from the Coordinating Minister of Economics dated July 31, 2002, the Government decided to terminate the Company’s exclusive rights as a network provider for local and long-distance services with effect from August 1, 2002. On August 1, 2002, PT Indonesian Satellite Corporation Tbk (“Indosat”) was granted a license to provide local and long-distance telecommunications services.
On March 30, 2004, the Minister of Communications issued Announcement No. PM. 2 year 2004 regarding the Implementation of Restructuring in the Telecommunications Sector which, among others, conveys the compensation for early termination of exclusive rights (See Note 57d).
On May 13, 2004, pursuant to the Ministry of Communications Decree No. KP. 162/2004, the Company was granted a commercial license to provide International Direct Dialing (IDD) services.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
sian GAAP varies in certain significant respects to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 58.
a. Basis for Preparation of Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements, except for the statements of cash flows, are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The measurement basis used is historical cost, except for certain accounts recorded on the basis described in the related accounting policies.
The consolidated statements of cash flows are prepared using the direct method and present the changes in cash and cash equivalents from operating, investing and financing activities.
Figures in the consolidated financial statements are rounded to and presented in millions of Indonesian Rupiah (“Rp”) unless otherwise stated.
b. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries in which the Company directly or indirectly has ownership of more than 50%, or the Company has the ability to control the entity, even though the ownership is less than or equal to 50%. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which effective control is obtained and are no longer consolidated from the date of disposal. The Company does not consolidate a subsidiary if control is expected to be temporary.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the case of PT Pramindo Ikat Nusantara (“Pramindo”), the Company has evaluated the scope and terms of this investment and concluded that it has the ability to exercise control over Pramindo and the right to obtain all of the future economic benefits of ownership as though the Company owned 100% of the shares. The factors that the Company considered include, among others, the fact that the purchase price is fixed, its ability to vote 100% of the shares at general stockholders’ meetings, subject to certain protective rights retained by the selling stockholders, its ability to appoint all of the board members and management and its consequent ability to exclusively determine the financial and operating policies of Pramindo subject to certain protective rights, its issuance of irrevocable and unconditional promissory notes in settlement of the purchase consideration to the selling stockholders, the placement of the 70% of Pramindo shares not yet transferred to the Company in an escrow account by the selling stockholders and the protective provisions in the various agreements for the Company to take over all shares (including powers of attorney issued by the selling stockholders) or collapse the KSO arrangement once the full amount payable for the shares has been paid (Note 5b).
c. Transactions with Related Parties
The Company and subsidiaries have transactions with related parties. The definition of related parties used is in accordance with Indonesian Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“PSAK”) No. 7 “Related Party Disclosures”.
F-24
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
d. Acquisitions of Subsidiaries
The acquisition of a subsidiary from a third party is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The excess of the acquisition cost over the Company’s interest in the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill and amortized using the straight-line method over a period of not more than five years.
The acquisition transaction with entities under common control is accounted for in a manner similar to that in pooling of interests accounting (carryover basis). The difference between the consideration paid or received and the related historical carrying amount, after considering income tax effects, is recognized directly in equity and are reported as “Difference in value of restructuring transactions between entities under common control” in the stockholders’ equity section.
The Company continually assesses whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would require revision of the remaining estimated useful life of goodwill, or whether there is any indication of impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of goodwill is estimated based on the expected future cash flows which are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
e. Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Indonesian Rupiah and the books of accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries are maintained in Indonesian Rupiah. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Indonesian Rupiah at the rates of exchange prevailing at transaction date. At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and monetary liabilities balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Indonesian Rupiah based on the buy and sell rates quoted by Reuters prevailing at the balance sheet date. The Reuters buy and sell rates, applied respectively to translate monetary assets and monetary liability balances, were Rp8,940 and Rp8,960 to US$1 as of December 31, 2002, and Rp8,430 and Rp8,450 to US$1 as of December 31, 2003.
The resulting foreign exchange gains or losses, realized and unrealized, are credited or charged to income of the current year, except for foreign exchange differences incurred on borrowings during the construction of qualifying assets which are capitalized to the extent that the borrowings can be attributed to the construction of those qualifying assets (Note 2k).
f. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and in banks and all unrestricted time deposits with maturities of not more than three months from the date of placement. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of cash management of the Company and subsidiaries are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.
F-25

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
g. Investments
i. Time Deposits
Time deposits with maturities of more than three months are presented as temporary investments.
ii. Investments in Securities
Investments in available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from income of the current year and are reported as a separate component in the stockholders’ equity section until realized. Realized gains or losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are recognized in the income of the current year, and are determined on a specific-identification basis. A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale securities below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary is charged to income of the current year.
iii. Investments in Associated Companies
Investments in shares of stock in which the Company has 20% to 50% of the voting rights, and over which the Company exerts significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method, the Company recognizes the Company’s proportionate share in the income or loss of the associated company from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Company’s share of loss exceeds the carrying amount of the associated company, the carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has incurred obligations in respect of the associated company.
On a continuous basis, but no less frequently than at the end of each year, the Company evaluates the carrying amount of its ownership interests in investee companies for possible impairment. Factors considered in assessing whether an indication of other than temporary impairment exists include the achievement of business plan objectives and milestones including cash flow projections and the results of planned financing activities, the financial condition and prospects of each investee company, the fair value of the ownership interest relative to the carrying amount of the investment, the period of time the fair value of the ownership interest has been below the carrying amount of the investment and other relevant factors. Impairment to be recognized is measured based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the investment exceeds the fair value of the investment. Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices (if any), projected discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques as appropriate.
Changes in the value of investments due to changes in the equity of associated companies arising from capital transactions of such associated companies with other parties are recognized directly in equity and are reported as “Difference due to change of equity in associated companies” in the stockholders’ equity section. Differences previously credited directly to equity as a result of equity transactions in associated companies are released to the statement of income upon the sale of an interest in the associate in proportion with percentage of the interest sold.
The functional currency of PT Pasifik Satelit Nusantara and PT Citra Sari Makmur is the U.S. Dollar. For the purpose of reporting these investments using the equity method, the assets and liabilities of these companies as of the balance sheet date are translated into Rupiah using the rates of
F-26
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
exchange prevailing at that date, while revenues and expenses are translated into Rupiah at the average rates of exchange for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as part of “Translation adjustment” in the stockholders’ equity section.
iv. Other Investments
Investments in shares of stock with ownership interests of less than 20% that do not have readily determinable fair values and are intended for long-term investments are carried at cost and are adjusted only for other-than-temporary decline in the value of individual investments. Any such write-down is charged directly to income of the current year.
h. Trade and Other Accounts Receivable
Trade and other accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, based upon a review of the collectibility of the outstanding amounts at the end of the year. Accounts are written off against the allowance during the period in which they are determined to be not collectible.
Trade and other accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days for retail customers are fully provided, and past due balance for non-retail customers over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
i. Inventories
Inventories, principally consist of components and modules, which are transferred to Plant, Property and Equipment upon use. Inventories also include SIM card and prepaid voucher blanks.
Cost is determined using the weighted average method for components, SIM card and prepaid voucher blanks, and the specific-identification method for modules.
Allowance for obsolescence is primarily based on the estimated forecast of future usage of these items.
j. Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses are amortized over their beneficial periods using the straight-line method.
k. Property, Plant and Equipment — Direct Acquisitions
Property, plant and equipment directly acquired are stated at cost, except for certain revalued assets, less accumulated depreciation.

When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its estimated recoverable amount, which is determined based upon the greater of its net selling price or value in use.
The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. Expenditures, which extend the useful life of the asset or result in increased future economic benefits such as increase in capacity or improvement in the quality of output or standard of performance, are capitalized and depreciated based on the applicable depreciation rates.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their carrying values and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements, and the resulting gains or losses on the disposal or sale of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the statement of income.
Computer software used for data processing is included in the value of the associated hardware.
Property under construction is stated at cost until construction is complete, at which time it is reclassified to the specific property, plant and equipment account it relates to. During the construction period, borrowing costs, which include interest expense and foreign exchange gains or losses incurred to finance the construction of the asset, are capitalized in proportion to the average amount of accumulated expenditures during the period. Capitalization of borrowing cost ceases when the assets are ready for its intended use.
l. Property, Plant and Equipment under Capital Leases
Property, plant and equipment acquired under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. At inception of the lease, a corresponding liability, which equals to the present value of minimum lease payments, is also recorded and subsequently reduced by the principal component of each minimum lease payment. The interest component of each minimum lease payment is recognized in the statement of income.
F-28
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Leased assets are capitalized only if all of the following criteria are met: (a) the lessee has an option to purchase the leased asset at the end of the lease period at a price agreed upon at the inception of the lease agreement, and (b) the sum of periodic lease payments, plus the residual value, will cover the acquisition price of the leased asset and related interest, and (c) there is a minimum lease period of 2 years.
Leased assets are depreciated using the same method and over the same estimated useful lives used for directly acquired property, plant and equipment.
m. Revenue-Sharing Arrangements
The Company records assets under revenue-sharing agreements as “Property, plant and equipment under revenue-sharing arrangements” (with a corresponding initial credit to “Unearned income under revenue-sharing arrangements” presented in the Liabilities section of the balance sheet) based on the costs incurred by the investors as agreed upon in the contracts entered into between the Company and the investors. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
Unearned income related to the acquisition of the property, plant and equipment under revenue-sharing arrangements is amortized over the revenue-sharing period using the straight-line method.
At the end of the revenue-sharing period, the respective property, plant and equipment under revenue-sharing arrangements are reclassified to the “Property, plant and equipment” account.
Revenue earned under revenue-sharing arrangements is recognized on the basis of the Company’s share as provided in the agreement.
n. Joint Operation Schemes
Revenues from joint operation schemes include amortization of the investor’s initial payments, Minimum Telkom Revenues (“MTR”) and the Company’s share of Distributable KSO Revenues (“DKSOR”).
Unearned initial investor payments received as compensation from the KSO Investors are presented net of all direct costs incurred in connection with the KSO agreement and are amortized using the straight-line method over the KSO period of 15 years starting from January 1, 1996.
MTR are recognized on a monthly basis based upon the contracted MTR amount for the current year, in accordance with the KSO agreement.
The Company’s share of DKSOR is recognized on the basis of the Company’s percentage share of the KSO revenues, net of MTR and operational expenses of the KSO Units, as provided in the KSO agreements.

The calculation is performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
The benefits earned by the employees are recognized in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately, the expense is recognized immediately in the statement of income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
ii. Early Retirement Benefits
Early retirement benefits are accrued at the time the Company makes a commitment to provide early retirement benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy. The Company is demonstrably committed to a termination when, and only when, the Company has a detailed formal plan for the early retirement and is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.
r. Employee Benefits Other Than Pension

The Company provides a post-retirement health care plan that covers its retired employees who meet age, participation and length of service requirements at retirement, and their eligible dependants.
The Company’s obligation with respect to post-retirement health care plan is calculated by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
s. Income Tax
The Company and subsidiaries apply the asset and liability method of accounting for income tax. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities at each reporting date. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits, such as the benefit of tax loss carryforwards, to the extent their realization is probable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates at each reporting date which are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Income tax is charged or credited in the statement of income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is also recognized directly in equity.
t. Earnings per Share and Earnings per American Depositary Share (“ADS”)
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Net income per ADS is computed by multiplying basic earnings per share by 20, the number of shares represented by each ADS.

Segment information is prepared in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the consolidated financial statements.
v. Derivative Instruments
Derivative transactions are accounted for in accordance with PSAK 55, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” which requires that all derivative instruments be recognized in the financial statements at fair value. To qualify for hedge accounting, PSAK 55 requires certain criteria to be met, including documentation required to have been in place at the inception of the hedge.
Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in the statement of income. If a derivative instrument are designated and qualify for hedge accounting, changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recorded as adjustments to the assets or liabilities being hedged in the income of the current year or in the stockholders’ equity, depending on the type of hedge transaction represented and the effectiveness of the hedge.
w. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, valuation allowance for receivables and obligations related to employee benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. TRANSLATION OF RUPIAH INTO UNITED STATES DOLLARS
The consolidated financial statements are stated in Rupiah. The translations of Rupiah amounts into United States Dollars are included solely for the convenience of the readers and have been made using the average of the market buy and sell rates of Rp8,440 to US$1 published by Reuters on December 31, 2003. The convenience translations should not be construed as representations that the Rupiah amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be, converted into United States Dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.
4. CROSS-OWNERSHIP TRANSACTIONS WITH INDOSAT

Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
iii. Acquisition by Indosat of the Company’s 37.66% equity interest in PT Aplikanusa Lintasarta (“Lintasarta”) for US$38,000,000 plus convertible bonds of Rp4,051 million issued by Lintasarta (“Lintasarta Transaction”); and | |
iv. The acquisition by Indosat of all of the Company’s rights and novation of all of the Company’s obligations, under the KSO IV Agreement dated October 20, 1995, between the Company and PT Mitra Global Telekomunikasi Indonesia (“MGTI”), together with all of the Company’s assets being used as KSO IV assets, for US$375,000,000 (“KSO IV Transaction”). |
Lintasarta’s convertible bonds were subsequently converted into shares, thereby reducing the Company’s 37.66% equity interest to 37.21% prior to the consummation of the Lintasarta Transaction.
The Telkomsel and Lintasarta Transactions were consummated on May 16, 2001 based on Deed of Share Transfer No. 1/ V/2001/triplo and No. 2/ V/2001/duplo, respectively, of Notary Ny. Liliana Arif Gondoutomo, S.H.
The Satelindo Transaction was consummated on July 23, 2001 after DeTeAsia Holding GmbH and PT Bimagraha Telekomindo (the other Satelindo stockholders) waived their pre-emptive rights on 7.26% and 13.06% of Satelindo’s shares, respectively.
On February 1, 2002, the Company and Indosat announced the cancellation of the KSO IV Transaction. As a result, the Company settled this portion of the cross-ownership transaction in cash.
At the time of the transaction, the Government was the majority and controlling shareholder of both the Company and Indosat. Accordingly, the Telkomsel, Satelindo and Lintasarta Transactions have been accounted for as a restructuring of entities under common control. The Company’s acquisition of a controlling interest in Telkomsel was accounted for in a manner similar to that of pooling of interests accounting (carryover basis). Accordingly, for reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company and those of Telkomsel have been combined, as if they had been combined from the beginning of the earliest period presented. The effects of the transactions between the Company and Telkomsel before the combination were eliminated in preparing the combined financial statements. The difference between the consideration paid or received and the historical amount of the net assets of the investee acquired or carrying amount of the investment sold, is included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Difference in value of restructuring transactions between entities under common control”, as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Company an exclusive option to purchase full and legal title to the Option Share (the “Call Option”), and the Company granted the selling stockholder an exclusive option to sell to the Company full legal title to those shares (the “Put Option”).
In consideration for the grant of the options, the Company will pay to the selling stockholder the option purchase price of US$6,300,000, plus US$957,823 as payment for Dayamitra’s adjusted working capital, or a total of US$7,257,823.

Ltd. (“NMP Singapore”) (collectively the “Selling Stockholders”) entered into a Conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement (“CSPA”) pursuant to which the Company acquired all of Pramindo’s shares. The Selling Stockholders shares were transferred to an escrow account (hereafter referred as “escrow shares”).
Legal title to the escrow shares will be transferred to Telkom in 3 (three) specific tranches on 15 September 2002 — 30%, 30 September 2003 — 15% and on 31 December 2004 — 55% upon payment of the promissory notes issued to the selling stockholders as payment for the acquisition of the shares. The escrow shares can be accessed by the selling stockholders only upon default on payment of the promissory notes by the Company and no dividends can be paid out until the arrangements between the parties are completed or terminated in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements.
The Company and the Selling Stockholders also entered into a Stockholders Voting Agreement (“SVA”) on August 15, 2002, pursuant to which each stockholder of Pramindo delivered to the Company a Power of Attorney (“PoA”) whereby the Company obtained the right to vote the escrow shares.

The aggregate purchase price amounted to US$390,308,972 (Rp3,464,040 million) plus Rp250,000 million, represented by an initial payment of approximately US$9,263,953 (Rp82,218 million), consultants’ fees of US$5,945,946 (Rp52,818 million), working capital reimbursement of Rp250,000 million, and the issue by Telkom of Promissory Notes (series I and series II) with an aggregate face value of US$375,099,073, of which the present value at the discount rate of 8.15% at the effective date of the acquisition was estimated to be US$332,802,122 (Rp2,953,617 million). The series I promissory notes are non-interest bearing and the series II promissory notes carry a market interest rate. The Promissory Notes are to be paid in 10 unequal quarterly installments beginning September 15, 2002 and are irrevocable, unconditional and transferable.
The total purchase consideration was allocated first to the net monetary assets and then the fixed assets acquired. An intangible asset of Rp2,752,267 million was identified representing right to operate the business in the KSO Area. The amount is being amortized over the remaining term of the KSO agreement (Note 16). There was no goodwill arising from this acquisition.
In addition, the portion that relates to Indosat’s 13% equity interest in Pramindo has been accounted for as a restructuring of entities under common control. The difference between the purchase consideration and the historical amount of the net assets acquired amounting to Rp296,038 million, included as “Difference in value of restructuring transactions between entities under common control” in the stockholders’ equity section is calculated as follows:
Rp | ||||
Purchase consideration — net of discount on promissory notes | 3,338,653 | |||
Historical amount of net assets | 1,061,437 | |||
Difference in value for 100% ownership | 2,277,216 | |||
Difference adjusted to stockholders’ equity for Indosat’s 13% ownership in Pramindo | 296,038 | |||

51. JOINT OPERATION SCHEMES (“KSO”)
In 1995, the Company and five investors (PT Pramindo Ikat Nusantara, PT AriaWest International, PT Mitra Global Telekomunikasi Indonesia, PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi and PT Bukaka Singtel International) entered into agreements for Joint Operation Schemes (“KSO”) and KSO construction agreements for the provision of telecommunication facilities and services for the Sixth Five-Year Development Plan (“Repelita VI”) of the Republic of Indonesia. The five investors undertook the development and operation of the basic fixed telecommunications facilities and services in five of the Company’s seven regional divisions.
Under the Joint Operation Scheme, the KSO Unit is required to make payments to the Company consisting of the following:
• | Minimum Telkom Revenue (“MTR”) Represents the amount guaranteed by the KSO investor to be paid to the Company in accordance with the KSO agreement. | |
• | Distributable KSO Revenues (“DKSOR”) DKSOR are the entire KSO revenues, less the MTR and the operational expenses of the KSO Units, as provided in the KSO agreements. These revenues are shared between the Company and the KSO Investors based on agreed upon percentages. |
The DKSOR from fixed wireless revenues (“Telkom Flexi Revenues”) are shared between the Company and KSO Investor based on a ratio of 95% and 5%, respectively. | |
The DKSOR from non-Telkom Flexi Revenues are shared between the Company and KSO Investor based on a ratio of 30% and 70%, respectively, except for KSO VII. For KSO VII, the DKSOR from non-Telkom Flexi Revenues are shared between the Company and KSO Investor at a ratio of 35% and 65%, respectively. Effective on 31 July 2003, the ratio for distribution of DKSOR from non-Telkom Flexi Revenue in KSO III was changed to 5% and 95% for the Company and KSO Investor, respectively, from the date thereof until 31 December 2005, and to 30% and 70%, respectively, thereafter. |
At the end of the KSO period, all rights, title and interests of the KSO Investor in existing installations and all work in progress, inventories, equipment, materials, plans and data relating to any approved additional new installation projects then uncompleted or in respect of which the tests have not been successfully completed, shall be sold and transferred to the Company without requiring any further action by any party, upon payment by the Company to the KSO Investor of one hundred Rupiah, plus:
i. the net present value, if any, of the KSO Investor’s projected share in DKSOR from the additional new installations forming part of the KSO system on the termination date over the balance of the applicable payback periods, and | |
ii. an amount to be agreed upon between the Company and the KSO Investor as a fair compensation in respect of any uncompleted or untested additional new installations transferred. |
The depreciation of the Rupiah against the U.S. Dollars, which started in the second half of 1997, has impacted the financial condition of the KSO Investors. In response to economic conditions, on

June 5, 1998, all KSO Investors and the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) to amend certain provisions of the KSO agreements. Among the amendments are as follows:
i. The percentage of sharing of the distributable KSO revenues for 1998 and 1999 was 10% and 90% for the Company and the KSO Investors, respectively. | |
ii. The minimum number of access line units to be installed by the KSO Investors up to March 31, 1999 was 1,268,000 lines. | |
iii. The incremental rate of the MTR would not exceed 1% in 1998 and 1.5% in 1999 for the KSO agreements with the Investors that have MTR incremental factors. | |
iv. “Operating Capital Expenditures” in each of the KSO Units will be shared between the Company and the respective KSO Investors in proportion to the previous year’s share in the annual net income of the KSO Units, starting from 1999. | |
v. The cancellation of the requirement to maintain a bank guarantee in respect of MTR. |
In 1998 and 1999, the Company adopted the provisions of the MoU. Beginning November 1999, the Company and the KSO Investors had begun to renegotiate the terms of the KSO agreements in conjunction with the changing environment and the expiration of certain terms in the MoU. Among others, it was agreed to return to most of the provisions of the original KSO agreements beginning January 1, 2000.
KSO I
In 2002, the Company and the stockholders of Pramindo (KSO Investor) reached an agreement in which the Company acquired 100% of Pramindo and gained control over the operation of KSO Unit I (Note 5b).
KSO III
Effective on July 31, 2003, the Company and the stockholders of AWI (KSO Investor) reached an agreement in which the Company acquired 100% of AWI and gained control over the operation of KSO Unit III (Note 5c).
KSO IV
The sale of KSO IV to Indosat, which was placed under the cross-ownership transactions (Note 4), was cancelled. The Company has, however, entered into an amendment to the KSO agreement (Note 57b).
KSO VI
In 2001, the Company and the stockholders of Dayamitra (KSO Investor) reached an agreement in which the Company acquired 90.32% of Dayamitra and gained control over the operation of KSO Unit VI. In addition, the Company entered into a put and call option arrangement for the remaining 9.68% of the issued and paid up capital of Dayamitra (Note 5a).

KSO VII
The Company and PT Bukaka Singtel International intend to continue the KSO schemes in accordance with original agreements with some additional projects.
The gross MTR and DKSOR of the unconsolidated KSOs for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 were Rp3,771,000 million, Rp3,586,000 million and Rp2,769,530 million, respectively.
52. REVENUE-SHARING ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has entered into separate agreements with several investors under Revenue-Sharing Arrangements (“RSA”) to develop fixed lines, analog mobile cellular lines, public card-phone booths (including their maintenance) and related supporting telecommunications facilities.
As of December 31, 2003, the Company has 27 RSA with 21 partners. The RSA were located mostly in Palembang, Pekanbaru, Jakarta and Surabaya with concession period ranging from 24 to 172 months.
Under the RSA, the investors finance the costs incurred in developing telecommunications facilities. Upon completion of the construction, the Company manages and operates the facilities and bears the cost of repairs and maintenance during the revenue-sharing period. The investors legally retain the rights to the property, plant and equipment constructed by them during the revenue-sharing periods. At the end of each revenue-sharing period, the investors transfer the ownership of the facilities to the Company.
The revenues earned from the customers in the form of line installation charges are allocated in full to the investors. The revenues from outgoing telephone pulses and monthly subscription charges are shared between the investors and the Company based on certain agreed ratio. Certain additional arrangements are made for revenues earned from analog mobile cellular, whereby revenues from international outgoing pulses are allocated in full to the Company. Revenues earned from pay phone cards during the revenue-sharing period are shared 60:40 (in favor of the investors) based on the recorded usage of pulses.
The net book value of property, plant and equipment under RSA which have been transferred to property, plant and equipment amounted to Rp726 million and Rp34,828 million in 2002 and 2003, respectively (Note 15).
The investors’ share of revenues amounted to Rp546,701 million, Rp636,985 million and Rp442,633 million in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
53. TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES TARIFFS
Under Law No. 36 year 1999 and Government Regulation No. 52 year 2000, tariffs for the use of telecommunications network and telecommunication services are determined by providers based on the tariffs category, structure and with respect to fixed line telecommunication services price cap formula set by the Government.

and classified as either local or domestic long-distance. The tariffs depend on call distance, call duration, the time of day, the day of the week and holidays.
Tariffs for fixed line telephone are regulated under Minister of Communications Decree No. KM.12 year 2002 dated January 29, 2002 concerning the addendum of the decree of Minister of Tourism, Post and Telecommunication (“MTPT”) No. 79 year 1995, concerning the Method for Basic Tariff Adjustment on Domestic Fixed Line Telecommunication Services. Furthermore, the Minister of Communications issued Letter No. PK 304/1/3 PHB-2002 dated January 29, 2002 concerning increase in tariffs for fixed line telecommunications services. According to the letter, tariffs for fixed line domestic calls would increase by 45.49% over three years. The average increase in 2002 was 15%. This increase was effective on February 1, 2002.
To follow up the previous Letter, the Ministry of Communications issued Letter No. PR.304/2/4/ PHB-2002 dated December 17, 2002 regarding tariff adjustments for domestic fixed line telecommunications services effective on January 1, 2003. Considering the fact that the Independent Regulatory Body, a precondition for the tariff adjustment, had not been established, The Minister of Communications postponed the implementation of tariffs adjustments by issuing Ministerial Letter No. PR.304/1/1/ PHB-2003, dated January 16, 2003.
Mobile Cellular Telephone Tariffs
Tariff for cellular providers are set on the basis of the MTPT Decree No. KM. 27/PR.301/MPPT-98 dated February 23, 1998. Under the regulation, the cellular tariffs consist of activation fees, monthly charges and usage charges.

a. Air time
The maximum basic airtime tariff charged to the originating cellular subscriber is Rp325/minute. Charges to the originating cellular subscriber are calculated as follows:
1. Cellular to cellular: | 2 times airtime rate | |
2. Cellular to PSTN: | 1 times airtime rate | |
3. PSTN to cellular: | 1 times airtime rate | |
4. Card phone to cellular: | 1 times airtime rate plus 41% surcharges |
b. | Usage Tariffs |
1. Usage tariffs charged to a cellular subscriber who makes a call to a fixed line (“PSTN”) subscriber are the same as the usage tariffs applied to PSTN subscribers. For the use of local PSTN network, the tariffs are computed at 50% of the prevailing local PSTN tariffs. | |
2. The long-distance usage tariffs between two different service areas are the same as the prevailing tariffs for domestic long-distance call (“SLJJ”) applied to PSTN subscribers. |
Based on the Decree No. KM. 79 year 1998 of the Ministry of Communications, the maximum tariff for prepaid customers may not exceed 140% of the peak time tariffs for post-paid subscribers.

The following table presents the aggregate notional amounts of Telkomsel’s foreign exchange forward contracts entered into in 2003:
US$ | EUR | |||||||
(full amount) | (full amount) | |||||||
DB | 80,000,000 | 6,000,000 | ||||||
SCB | 12,000,000 | 18,000,000 | ||||||
Total | 92,000,000 | 24,000,000 | ||||||

55. CONTINGENCIES
a. The SEC requires that the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F be filed within six months after the reported balance sheet date. In this respect, the Company published its previous 2002 consolidated financial statements in March 31, 2003 and submitted the Annual Report on Form 20-F to the SEC on April 17, 2003.
In May 2003, however, the SEC informed the Company that it considered that the submitted 2002 consolidated financial statements were un-audited as the audit firm that was originally appointed to perform the 2002 audit was not qualified for SEC purposes. Due to the time consumed in selecting an SEC qualified auditor, KAP Drs. Haryanto Sahari & Rekan (formerly called KAP Drs. Hadi Sutanto & Rekan), the member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers in Indonesia, began their work in July 2003. As a result, the Company was not able to meet its June 30, 2003 deadline to file a fully compliant Annual Report on Form 20-F with the SEC.
Because of the foregoing and the fact that Annual Report was filed after the June 30, 2003 deadline, the Company may face an SEC enforcement action under U.S. securities law and other legal liability and adverse consequences such as delisting of its ADSs from the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, the staff of the SEC has described a press release that the Company issued and furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K in May 2003 as “grossly understating the nature and severity of the staff’s concerns” regarding matters related to the Company’s filing of a non-compliant Annual Report. Such press release could also form the basis of an SEC enforcement action and other legal liability. The
F-113

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Company cannot at this time predict the likelihood or severity of an SEC enforcement action or any other legal liability or adverse consequences.
b. In the ordinary course of business, the Company has been named as a defendant in various legal actions. Based on Management’s estimate of the outcome of these matters, the Company accrued Rp35,809 million at December 31, 2003.
c. In connection with the re-audit of the Company’s 2002 consolidated financial statements, the former auditor KAP Eddy Pianto filed lawsuits in the South Jakarta District Court against KAP Drs. Haryanto Sahari & Rekan (formerly called KAP Drs. Hadi Sutanto & Rekan) (the Company’s auditor for the re-audit of the 2002 consolidated financial statements), the Company, KAP Hans Tuanakotta Mustofa & Halim (formerly KAP Hans Tuanakotta & Mustofa) (the Company’s 2001 auditor) and the Capital Market Supervisory Agency “BAPEPAM” (collectively, “Defendants”), alleging that the Defendants, through the reaudit of the Company’s 2002 consolidated financial statements, had conspired to engage in an illegal action against KAP Eddy Pianto, tarnishing the reputation of KAP Eddy Pianto in the public accounting profession. KAP Eddy Pianto seeks to recover approximately Rp7,840 billion in damages from the Company and its co-defendants. The mediation process to resolve the dispute amicably did not succeed and the Company is scheduled to formally submit its response to the claim soon. The resolution of this issue at present time cannot be determined.
d. The Company is being inquired by Commissions for Business Competition Watch (Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha) related to alleged unfair business practice in providing international telecommunications services, which, if proven, breaches articles 15, 19 and 25 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 5/1999 on Anti Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition (“Competition Law”). A breach of this regulation may result in a penalty at a minimum of Rp5,000 million and at a maximum of Rp100,000 million. The Company has not accrued any amount as of December 31, 2003 because the Company is unable to estimate the likelihood of the outcome.
e. The Company has breached a covenant in the loan agreement with Citibank N.A. and Citibank International Plc which stipulates that the Company will not make any loans or grant any credit to or for the benefit of any person. As of June 9, 2004, the Company has obtained a written waiver from Citibank International Plc with regard to entering into the AWI loan (Notes 5c, 26a and 26c). The Company has also breached a covenant in the loan agreement with Bank Central Asia which stipulates that the Company will not make any guarantee or collateralize its assets for an amount exceeding US$2 million or its equivalent. As of June 23, 2004, the Company has obtained a written waiver from Bank Central Asia with regard to the Company’s time deposits collateralized for Napsindo loan (Notes 11b, 22a and 26c).

58. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN INDONESIA AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA |
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Indonesia (“Indonesian GAAP”), which differ in certain significant respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). A description of the differences and their effects on net income and stockholders’ equity are set forth below.
(1) Description of Differences Between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP
a. Termination Benefits
Under Indonesian GAAP, termination benefits are recognized as liabilities when certain criteria are met (e.g. the enterprise is demonstratively committed to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage early retirement).
Under U.S. GAAP, termination benefits are recognized as liabilities when the employees accept the offer and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
b. Foreign Exchange Differences Capitalized to Property under Construction
Under Indonesian GAAP, foreign exchange differences resulting from borrowings used to finance property under construction are capitalized. Capitalization of foreign exchange differences cease when
F-119
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
the construction of the qualifying asset is substantially completed and the constructed property is ready for its intended use.
Under U.S. GAAP, foreign exchange differences are charged to current operations.
c. Interest Capitalized on Property under Construction
Under Indonesian GAAP, qualifying assets, to which interest cost can be capitalized, should be those that take a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, i.e. minimum 12 months. To the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of interest cost eligible for capitalization on that asset should be determined based on the actual interest cost incurred on that borrowing during the period of construction less any investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings.
Under U.S. GAAP, there is no limit on the length of the construction period in which the interest cost could be capitalized. The interest income arising from any unused borrowings is recognized directly to current operations.
d. Revenue-sharing Arrangements
Under Indonesian GAAP, property, plant and equipment built by an investor under revenue-sharing arrangements are recognized as property, plant and equipment under revenue-sharing arrangements in the books of the party to whom ownership in such properties will be transferred at the end of the revenue-sharing period, with a corresponding initial credit to unearned income. The property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives, while the unearned income is amortized over the revenue-sharing period. The Company records its share of the revenues earned net of amounts due to the investors.
Under U.S. GAAP, the assets under revenue-sharing arrangements are recorded and, correspondingly, an obligation under revenue-sharing arrangements is recorded. A portion of the investor’s share in revenue is recorded as interest expense based on the implicit rate of return and the balance is treated as a reduction of the obligation. Revenues are recorded on a gross basis.
e. Revaluation of Property, Plant and Equipment
While Indonesian GAAP does not generally allow companies to recognize increases in the value of property, plant and equipment that occur subsequent to acquisition, an exception is provided for revaluations made in accordance with Government regulations. The Company revalued its property, plant and equipment that were used in operations as of January 1, 1979 and January 1, 1987.
Under U.S. GAAP, asset revaluations are not permitted. The effects of the previous revaluations have been fully depreciated in 2002, such that there is no difference in equity as of December 31, 2002.
f. Pension
In 1994 and 1998, the Company provided increases in pension benefits for pensioners. Under Indonesian GAAP, the prior service costs attributable to the increases in pension benefits for pensioners were directly charged to expense in those years. Under U.S. GAAP, because the majority of plan
F-120
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
participants are still active, such prior service costs are deferred and amortized systematically over the estimated remaining service period for active employees.
Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company amortizes the cumulative unrecognized actuarial gain or loss over four years. Under U.S. GAAP, any cumulative unrecognized actuarial gain or loss exceeding 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the fair value of plan assets is recognized in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the expected average remaining service period.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company would be required to recognize an additional minimum liability when the accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of the plan assets, and an equal amount would be recognized as an intangible asset, provided that the asset recognized does not exceed the amount of unrecognized prior service cost.
g. Equity in Net Income or Loss of Associated Companies
The Company records its equity in net income or loss of associated companies based on the associates’ financial statements that have been prepared under Indonesian GAAP.
For U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, the Company recognized the effect of the differences of U.S. GAAP and Indonesian GAAP in the investment accounts and its share of the net income or loss of those associates.
h. Land Rights
In Indonesia, the title of land rests with the State under the Basic Agrarian Law No. 5 of 1960. Land use is accomplished through land rights whereby the holder of the right enjoys the full use of the land for a stated period of time, subject to extensions. The land rights generally are freely tradeable and may be pledged as security under borrowing agreements. Under Indonesian GAAP, land ownership is not depreciated unless it can be foreseen that the possibility for the holder to obtain an extension or renewal of the rights is remote.
Under U.S. GAAP, the cost of acquired land rights is amortized over the period the holder is expected to retain the land rights.
i. Equipment to be Installed
Under Indonesian GAAP, temporarily idle equipment or equipment that is awaiting installation is not depreciated.
Under U.S. GAAP, temporarily idle equipment should continue to be depreciated. In 2002, prior year equipment to be installed was fully installed and their carrying values have been reclassified to property, plant and equipment.
j. Revenue Recognition
Under Indonesian GAAP, revenues from cellular and fixed wireless services connection fees are recognized as income when the connection takes place (for postpaid service) or at the time of delivery of starter packs to distributors, dealers or customers (for prepaid service). Installation fees for wire line services are recognized at the time of installation. The revenue from calling cards (“Kartu Telepon”) is also recognized when the Company sells the card.
F-121
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Under U.S. GAAP, revenue from front-end fees are deferred and recognized over the expected term of the customer relationship. Direct incremental costs were not significant. Revenues from calling cards are recognized upon usage or expiration.
k. Goodwill
Under Indonesian GAAP, goodwill is amortized over a period, not exceeding 20 years, that it is expected to benefit the Company.
Under U.S. GAAP, effective January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized but rather subjected to a test for impairment.
l. Capital Leases
Under Indonesian GAAP, a leased asset is capitalized only if all of the following criteria are met: (a) the lessee has an option to purchase the leased asset at the end of the lease period at a price agreed upon at the inception of the lease agreement, and (b) the sum of periodic lease payments, plus the residual value, will cover the acquisition price of the leased asset and related interest, and (c) there is a minimum lease period of 2 years.
Under U.S. GAAP, a leased asset is capitalized if one of the following criteria is met: (a) there is an automatic transfer of ownership at the end of the lease term; or (b) the lease contains a bargain purchase option; or (c) the lease term is for 75% or more of the economic life of the asset; or (d) the lease payments are at least 90% of the fair value of the asset. Certain leased assets that are accounted for as operating leases under Indonesian GAAP are accounted for as capital leases under U.S. GAAP.
m. Acquisition of Dayamitra
The Company acquired a 90.32% interest in Dayamitra and contemporaneously acquired a call option to buy the other 9.68% at a fixed price at a stated future date, and provided to the minority interest holder a put option to sell the other 9.68% to the Company under those same terms; meaning that the fixed price of the call is equal to the fixed price of the put option. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company should account for the option contracts on a combined basis with the minority interest and account for it as a financing of the purchase of the remaining 9.68% minority interest. As such, under U.S. GAAP, the Company has consolidated 100% of Dayamitra and attributed the stated yield earned under the combined derivative and minority interest position to interest expense.
Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company accounts for the remaining 9.68% of Dayamitra as minority interest. In addition, the option price that has been paid by the Company is presented as “Advance payments for investments in shares of stock”.
n. Reversal of Difference Due to Change of Equity in Associated Companies
Under Indonesian GAAP, differences previously credited directly to equity as a result of equity transactions in associated companies are released to the statement of income upon the sale of an interest in the associate in proportion with the percentage of the interest sold.
F-122
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Under U.S. GAAP, it is the Company’s policy to include differences resulting from equity transactions in associated companies in equity. Such amounts can not be released to the statement of income and consequently remain in equity indefinitely.
o. Asset Retirement Obligations
Under Indonesian GAAP, legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived assets are charged to current operations as incurred.
Under U.S. GAAP, the obligations are capitalized to the related long-lived assets and depreciated over the useful life of the assets.
p. Deferred Income Taxes
Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company does not recognize deferred taxes on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of equity method investments when it is not probable that these differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future.
Under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxes are recognized in full on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of equity method investments.
q. Impairment of Assets
Under Indonesian GAAP, an impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of fixed assets is the greater of its net selling price or value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss can be reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is only reversed to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Under U.S. GAAP, an impairment loss is recognized whenever the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on quoted market prices in active markets or discounting estimated future cash flows. Reversals of previously recognized impairment losses is prohibited.
There were no impairment charges recognized by the Company and therefore, there were no differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP.
r. Gain (loss) on Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment
Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company classifies gain (loss) on sale of property, plant and equipment as a component of other income (expenses) which are excluded from determination of operating income.
F-123
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Under U.S. GAAP, gain (loss) on sale of property, plant and equipment is classified as a component of operating expenses and hence included in the determination of operating income. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, operating income would have been higher by Rp10,944 million, Rp130,450 million and Rp182,883 million, respectively, and other income (expenses) would have been lower by the same amounts due to the inclusion of gain on sale of property, plant and equipment in the determination of operating income.
(2) A summary of the significant adjustments to consolidated net income for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and to consolidated stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 which would be required if U.S. GAAP had been applied, instead of Indonesian GAAP, in the consolidated financial statements are set forth below:

b. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Temporary Investments |
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.
Short-term bank loans
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.
Long-term Liabilities
(i) The fair value of two-step loans are estimated on the basis of the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be paid, considering rates of interest at which the Company could borrow as of the respective balance sheet dates.
For purposes of estimating the fair value of two-step loans, the Company has used the average Rupiah borrowing rates of 14.92%, and 9.63%, the average U.S. Dollar borrowing rate of 1.65% and 1.21% and the respective average borrowing rates for 2002 and 2003 for the debt in other currencies. Under the current environment, an estimate of the interest rates as of a point in time, given the significance of the Company’s debt and the general unavailability of funds, is difficult. For one

percentage point increase in the above-mentioned borrowing rates, the fair value of the Company’s long-term two-step loans at December 31, 2003 would decrease by Rp462,988 million.
(ii) The fair value of suppliers’ credit loans, bridging loan and long-term bank loan is estimated on the basis of the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be paid, considering rates of interest at which the Company could borrow as of the balance sheet date.
(iii) The fair value of the liability for the acquisition of subsidiaries is estimated on the basis of the discounted future cash flows expected to be paid.
(iv) The fair value of the bonds and guaranteed notes are based on market prices at balance sheet date.
The estimated fair values of the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial instruments are as follows:
Carrying Amount | Fair Value | ||||||||
2002 | |||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | 5,699,070 | 5,699,070 | |||||||

f. Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”includes requirements for financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities. A variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights, or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46 changes that by requiring a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, or both. FIN 46 also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that a company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. In December 2003, the FASB approved a partial deferral of FIN 46. Under the new guidance, application of FIN 46R is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities,

other than small business issuers, for all other types of variable interest entities is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
SFAS No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 which establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It also include required disclosures for financial instruments within its scope. For the Company, SFAS No. 150 was effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise will be effective at the beginning of the first financial year beginning after June 15, 2003. FASB Staff Position No. FAS 150-3 deferred certain provisions of SFAS No. 150 for certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company currently does not have any financial instruments that are within the scope of SFAS No. 150.
EITF Issue 00-21 “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”. The Issue addresses a vendor’s accounting for transactions involving the delivery of more than one product or service, and when it is necessary to separate the transaction into individual component deliverables, each with its own separate earnings process. If the conditions requiring separate revenue recognition exist, revenue is allocated among the different deliverables based on their relative fair values (the relative fair value of each of the component deliverables to the aggregated relative fair value of the bundled deliverables), with revenue for each component deliverable recognized when the revenue is realized and earned. The final consensus will be applicable to agreements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
