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 the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 (“2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F”) 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, PwC, did not begin their audit work until their appointment in July 2003. TELKOM filed a non- compliant 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F on April 17, 2003 and then filed a non-compliant Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 (“Amendment No. 1 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A”) on June 11, 2003 to:

TELKOM did not file Amendment No. 2 to the 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 (“Amendment No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A”) until February 9, 2004, which was over 7 months past the June 30, 2003 filing deadline. Amendment No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A 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 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F until after the June 30, 2003 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 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F. 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 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F with the SEC by the June 30, 2003 deadline and the May 2003 press release relating thereto, TELKOM was 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. During the period prior to obtaining such waivers, neither Citibank nor BCA issued any notice of acceleration of the debt under the relevant facility agreements. 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.

TELKOM had a number of material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting and concluded that as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, its disclosures and controls were ineffective, which could cause investors to lose confidence in its reported financial results and have an adverse effect on the trading price of its securities.

In the course of the audit of TELKOM’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 by 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. These errors were identified during the seven-month period ended on January 29, 2004, resulting in TELKOM’s making adjustments during that seven-month period to its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002. Following discussions between TELKOM and 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. These errors were identified during the seven-month period ended on January 29, 2004, resulting in TELKOM’s making adjustments during that seven-month period to its consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001.

Reportable conditions (as defined under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) relating to TELKOM’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) were also identified and communicated by PwC in their report dated January 9, 2004 in connection with its audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002, and by KPMG in connection with its audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004. Both PwC and KPMG identified the same material weaknesses as part of their respective audits. As part of their communications, both PwC and KPMG informed the Audit Committee that they had identified “reportable conditions” each of which constituted a “material weakness” (as each such term is defined under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) in TELKOM’s internal control over financial reporting. TELKOM’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that because of the “material weaknesses” identified, TELKOM’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by TELKOM in the reports that TELKOM files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to TELKOM’s management, including TELKOM’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. See Item 15. “Control and Procedures”.

Since November 2003, TELKOM has been working to improve its internal control over financial reporting, including those needed to enable it to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as its disclosure controls and procedures, and has taken a number of steps to address these issues. See Item 15. “Control and Procedures”. TELKOM cannot provide any assurance that the steps that it has taken and is continuing to take will result in all material weaknesses being identified and corrected. TELKOM expects that its internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures will continue to evolve in the future. Any control system, regardless of how well designed, operated and evaluated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could adversely affect TELKOM’s ability to report financial results on a timely and accurate basis or cause TELKOM to fail to meet its reporting obligations. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in TELKOM’s reported financial information, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of TELKOM’s securities.

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 landscape. These events have resulted in political instability, as well as general social and civil unrest on a number of occasions in the past few years. For example, in June 2001, demonstrations and strikes affected at least 19 cities after the Government mandated a 30% increase in fuel prices. Similar demonstrations occurred in January 2003, when the Government again tried to increase fuel prices, as well as electricity and telephone charges. In both instances, the Government was forced to drop or substantially reduce such proposed increases.

Actions by separatist movements and clashes between religious and ethnic groups have also resulted in social and civil unrest in parts of Indonesia. In the provinces of Aceh and Papua (formerly Irian Jaya), there have been numerous clashes between supporters of separatist movements and the Indonesian military. In the province of Maluku, clashes between religious groups have resulted in thousands of casualties and displaced persons in recent years. The Government has attempted to resolve problems in these troubled regions with limited success.

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.

Terrorist activities in Indonesia could destabilize Indonesia, which could adversely affect TELKOM’s business.

Bombings have occurred in recent years, at government buildings, foreign diplomatic facilities, night clubs and other locations, including the Jakarta Stock Exchange building, the Police Function Building in Jakarta, the departure lounge of Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, the parliament building in Jakarta and a shopping mall in Jakarta. A bombing campaign struck religious buildings throughout Indonesia in 2000. On October 12, 2002, over 200 people were killed in a bombing at a tourist area in Bali. This terrorist attack resulted in a significant decline in international tourism. On August 5, 2003 a bomb exploded at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Jakarta killing at least 12 people and injuring more than 150 people. On September 9, 2004, a bomb exploded outside the Australian embassy in Jakarta’s central business district, killing at least nine people and injuring over 180 people. On May 28, 2005, two bombs exploded in a crowded market in Tentena in central Indonesia, killing at least 20 people and injuring at least 40. Indonesian and United States government officials have indicated that some of these bombings may be the responsibility of Jemaah Islamiya, a Southeast Asian-based terrorist network allegedly linked to the international terrorist organization, Al-Qaeda. In May 2005, the United States also closed its embassy in Indonesia for a few days following an unspecified threat.

There can be no assurance that further terrorist acts will not occur in the future. A number of governments have from time to time issued warnings to their citizens in relation to a perceived increase in the possibility of terrorist activities in Indonesia, targeting foreign, particularly United States, interests. Such acts could destabilize Indonesia and increase internal divisions within the Government as it considers responses to such instability and unrest. Violent acts arising from and leading to instability and unrest have in the past had, and could continue to have, a material adverse effect on investment and confidence in, and the performance of, the Indonesian economy and 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 institutions. The foregoing consequences, if they occur, could have a material adverse effect on TELKOM’s business. As of December 31, 2004, the average exchange rate of Rupiah to US Dollar, based on the Reuters middle buy and sell rates, was Rp.9,290 per US Dollar.

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. 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. Disbursements from these sources have been slower than expected in recent years

16 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

due to the slow pace of institutional reforms in Indonesia and concerns regarding the Government’s decentralization plan. As of the date of this Annual Report, 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 only, but no assurance can be given as to Indonesia’s capacity to meet these rescheduled debt payments. While no further rescheduling has taken place, future decisions to renegotiate Indonesia’s existing sovereign indebtedness cannot be ruled out. Such decisions may affect Indonesia’s sovereign credit rating and could have a material adverse impact on investor confidence in Indonesia.

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 July 13, 2005, the Government’s long-term foreign currency debt and its short-term foreign currency debt were rated “B2” and “NP”, 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.

Indonesia is vulnerable to natural disasters and other events beyond TELKOM’s control, which could severely disrupt the normal operation of TELKOM’s business and adversely affect TELKOM’s operating results.

TELKOM’s existing operations are primarily in Indonesia, parts of which are vulnerable to natural disasters. Disruption of operations for any reason, including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, volcanic eruptions, droughts, power outages or other events beyond TELKOM’s control, could cause disruptions to operations and damage to equipment which would adversely affect TELKOM’s financial condition and results of operations.

In 2002, a major flood in Jakarta affected TELKOM’s operations in Jakarta, where a significant portion of its revenues are derived. In December 2004, northern parts of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, and particularly the province of Aceh, suffered severe damage following a massive earthquake estimated to be of magnitude 9.3 on the Richter scale and a series of tsunami waves on December 26, 2004. The tsunami resulted in 18 TELKOM employees being killed or missing, caused an estimated Rp.54.9 billion (US$5.9 million) of damage to TELKOM’s assets and equipment in the Aceh province, including 22 out of 44 switching facilities and transmission facilities and disrupted over 35,000 telephone lines out of approximately 99,000 lines.

On March 28, 2005, a major earthquake estimated to be of magnitude 8.7 on the Richter scale struck off the western coast of Sumatra. Scientists and seismic experts believe that rather than relieving stresses along the Sunda fault, located to the south of Sumatra, the seismic stresses along the Sunda fault continue unabated or have increased, and warned of the possibility of further earthquakes and tsunamis. The increased seismic activity has also coincided with a volcano in Sumatra spewing ash in April 2005, as well as increased volcanic activity and build up of gases in a volcano in Sumatra and another one near Bandung, where TELKOM’s headquarters is based.

While TELKOM maintains several insurance policies relating to TELKOM’s assets which covered the losses resulting from tsunami damage, it does not maintain business interruption insurance, and there can be no assurance that the insurance coverage will be sufficient to protect TELKOM from potential losses resulting from natural disasters and other events beyond its control. In addition, there can be no assurance that the premium payable for these insurance policies upon renewal will not increase substantially, which may adversely affect TELKOM’s financial condition and results of operations.

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.

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 Ministry of Communication and Information (“MoCI”), 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 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.

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 for both fixed and portable handsets. As of December 31, 2004, this service was offered in 192 cities, 130 of which are financed entirely by TELKOM and the remaining 62 are financed through revenue sharing-arrangements (“RSAs”). 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 the same area code). Customers generally have all features offered by cellular services except roaming to other area codes and internationally. Postpaid TELKOMFlexi customers are charged tariffs that are similar to PSTN tariff rates for this service while prepaid customers are charged tariffs slightly higher than postpaid rates but with no monthly fees. In each case, both TELKOMFlexi postpaid and prepaid tariffs are substantially lower than tariffs for cellular services. Telecommunications regulators, cellular operators and cellular trade associations have sought and may in the future seek to impose limitations on TELKOM’s ability to provide fixed wireless services at PSTN rates. If any such limitations are imposed, TELKOM could lose part or all of the benefit of its investment in the network that supports the TELKOMFlexi service. TELKOM may also be subject to disputes with its regulators or competitors.

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, if at all. 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 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 to a next generation network to implement convergent technologies and upgrade 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 competition structure. The Telecommunications Law only outlines the framework and substantive principles for the liberalization of the telecommunications industry. TELKOM considers 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. As of the date of this Annual Report, 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 approach as mutually agreed by the operators rather than the revenue sharing scheme as currently implemented. On March 11, 2004, the Ministry of Communication (“MoC”), the former telecommunications regulator, issued a decree stating that cost-based interconnection will commence beginning January 1, 2005. In connection with the implementation of cost-based interconnection, the MoC appointed an independent consultant to assist in determining the basis for the new cost-based tariffs. As of the date of this Annual Report, the MoCI has not issued implementing regulations. 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: TELKOM’s separate licenses to provide
fixed line services, DLD services and IDD services were replaced
and combined into a single license issued on May 13, 2004.
TELKOM also has a multimedia license that includes services such
as Internet service provider, data communication and VoIP. The
Government, with due regard to prevailing laws and regulations,
may amend the terms of TELKOM’s licenses and business
authority at its discretion. It may also impose certain
mandatory obligations on the license holders. See Item 4.B.
“Business Overview — Regulation —
Modern License”. 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 of 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, as recommended by the
ITRB, announced that it would allow operators to rebalance their
tariffs, with the resulting weighted average of tariffs
increasing by 9%. The Government did not effect the remaining
tariff increases by January 2005, and 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 allows
Government to delegate its authority to regulate, supervise and
control the telecommunications sector in Indonesia to an
independent regulatory body, while maintaining the authority to
formulate policies over the industry. Such delegation of
authority to the ITRB was implemented under Decree of the
Minister of Communications No. 31/2003, dated July 11,
2003. The ITRB comprises officials from the Directorate General
of Post and Telecommunication and the Committee of
Telecommunications Regulations. 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 had the exclusive right to
provide fixed line domestic telecommunications services in
Indonesia. Pursuant to regulations introduced to implement the
Telecommunications Law, the Government terminated TELKOM’s
monopoly in providing fixed line domestic telecommunications
services. The MoC issued Indosat a license to provide local
telephone services from August 2002. On May 13, 2004,
Indosat received its commercial license to provide domestic
long-distance telephone services. Indosat launched its CDMA
fixed wireless access service under the brand name
“StarOne” in Surabaya on May 29, 2004 and in
Jakarta on July 25, 2004, thereby creating a “duopoly
system” in Indonesia’s fixed line domestic
telecommunications market. As of December 31, 2004, Indosat
only offered this service in Jakarta, Surabaya, Malang and their
surrounding areas. Based on amendment to the interconnection
agreement between TELKOM and Indosat dated March 31, 2005,
TELKOM has agreed to open interconnection with Indosat’s
local fixed line service in certain areas such as Batam,
Bandung, Medan, Balikpapan and Malang. Therefore, Indosat is
expected to expand its service coverage to other cities in
Indonesia. Indosat also commenced offering limited domestic
long-distance services for calls within its network in late |

| | 2004. 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 that 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 utilize separate three digit access codes for DLD and IDD
services. Based on Decree No. 28/2004, TELKOM, which
currently uses “0” as the access code for its DLD
service, was required by March 1, 2005 to cease using the
“0” access code and to implement a three digit access
code in the form of “01X” for access to its DLD
service. However, TELKOM has not within the given deadline
implemented, and does not expect to in the near future to
implement, a three digit access code, as extensive installation
or upgrade of equipment will be required. TELKOM expects to
incur significant costs in connection with the new requirement
to establish three digit DLD access codes, including
expenditures required to install or upgrade new switching
facilities, create a new routing database, costs relating to
customer education and other marketing costs. In response to the
MoC Decree No. 28/2004, in June 2004, TELKOM submitted a
letter to the ITRB highlighting the technical difficulties in
implementing the three digit DLD access codes within the given
deadline and the substantial costs involved, and requesting that
TELKOM be allowed to continue using the “0” prefix for
its DLD access prefix and that it be given an additional five
year period to implement the three digit DLD access codes. On
April 1, 2005, the MoCI, to which telecommunications
regulatory responsibility was transferred, announced that it
would make available to Indosat the “011” DLD access
in five major cities that were technically ready for
interconnection, including Jakarta, and progressively extend it
to all other area codes within five years. TELKOM has also been
assigned “017” as its DLD access code. However,
interconnection between Indosat and TELKOM in these five cities
would still be subject to the parties reaching agreement on
technical and business arrangements and entering into an
interconnection agreement. In the five-year interim period and
thereafter, the “0” prefix may continue to be used by
all operators, including TELKOM, as default codes for each
operator’s customers to access the DLD service selected by
the respective operator. |

| 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. TELKOM is currently in the process of negotiating with
Indosat to allow TELKOM’s customers to access
Indosat’s DLD services, and for Indosat’s customers to
access TELKOM’s IDD services. |
| --- |
| On May 17, 2005, the MoCI issued decree No.6/2005.
According to Decree No.6/2005, the three digit access code in
the form of “01X” and “0” access code for
access to DLD services may be used. The “0” access
code is being used to accommodate customers who prefer not to
choose their long-distance carrier, while the “01X”
access code has to be implemented gradually in local areas in
which TELKOM has technical capabilities to support such
services. By April 1, 2010, the “01X”
long-distance services must be commenced in all TELKOM’s
local areas to accomodate customers who prefer to choose their
long-distance carrier. TELKOM is in the process of negotiating
with Indosat to allow TELKOM’s customers to access
Indosat’s DLD services and for Indosat’s fixed and
mobile customers to access TELKOM’s IDD services. |

• 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.

Table of Contents

| | 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 MoCI, 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. The MoC Decree
No. 34/2004 issued on March 11, 2004 sets out certain
minimum requirements that USO facilities must meet. On
March 30, 2004, the MoC issued Announcement
No. PM.2/2004, which sets forth the basic policies
underlying the USO program and requires telecommunications
operators in Indonesia to contribute 0.75% of gross revenues
(with due consideration for bad debt and interconnection
charges) for USO development. As of the date of this Annual
Report, there has been no implementing regulations or
announcement as to when such contribution will take effect. 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, Palapa B-4 and its to be launched TELKOM-2 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, Palapa B-4 and to be launched TELKOM-2 satellites have limited operational lifespans. A number of factors affect the operational livespans 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 lives and repairing these satellites while in orbit is not feasible. TELKOM maintains insurance coverage for TELKOM-1 satellite. As of December 31, 2004, such coverage was US$51.6 million, in the event of a total loss of the satellite. In connection with its planned launch of the TELKOM-2 satellite, TELKOM has procured insurance coverage to cover both the satellite and the launch services. With regard to the TELKOM-2 satellite, TELKOM has procured (i) a satellite launch and in-orbit insurance providing coverage of US$79.3 million to cover the event of a total loss of the satellite in the period between lift-off and up to one year in orbit, and (ii) post separation and in-orbit insurance coverage of US$71.0 million to cover the event of a total loss in the period between the separation of the satellite from the launcher up to one year in orbit. With regard to launch services, TELKOM has procured a launch risk guarantee from Arianespace that provides reflight in the event of a launch failure in the period between lift-off and separation. However, the loss of its satellites and the failure to launch the new satellite may have a material adverse effect on TELKOM’s financial condition, results of operations and ability to provide certain services, particularly in the eastern parts of Indonesia which currently relies largely on satellite coverage for telecommunication services.

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. TELKOM’s audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indonesian GAAP, which differs in certain material respects from U.S. GAAP. See Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating Results — Summary of Significant Differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP” and Note 56(1) to TELKOM’s consolidated financial statements.

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.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and development of the Company

TELKOM, 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 Industri Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk (“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

25 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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 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 an 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.

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.97,272 billion as of December 31, 2004 and of approximately Rp.93,740 billion as of May 31, 2005. 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, and amended the terms of the KSO agreement with its KSO partner in region IV to obtain legal right to control financial and operating decisions of Regional Division IV.

| • | In 2001, TELKOM acquired 90.32% of the shares of its KSO partner
for Regional Division VI, Dayamitra, purchased a call
option and granted a put option with respect to the 9.68%
remaining shares of Dayamitra and subsequently, on
December 14, 2004, exercised the call option to acquire
such remaining shares. |

| • | In 2002, TELKOM entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the
shares of its KSO partner in Regional Division I, 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, AriaWest and settled its

| • | 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 the amended and restated KSO
agreement, the rights to operate fixed-line telecommunication
services in KSO IV region are transferred to TELKOM and
KSO IV is operated under the management, supervision,
control and responsibility of TELKOM. In addition, for the
remaining KSO period, TELKOM is entitled at its sole discretion
and expense to construct new telecommunication facilities in
Regional Division IV. MGTI receives fixed monthly payments,
while TELKOM is entitled to the balance of the KSO revenues
after the monthly amounts due to MGTI and operating expenses. If
the KSO IV unit is unable to or does not for any reason pay MGTI
the fixed monthly payments due to it, TELKOM is obligated to
make up any deficiency. At the end of the KSO period
(December 31, 2010), all rights, title and interest of MGTI
in existing property, plant and equipment (including new
additional installations) and inventories shall be transferred
to TELKOM at no cost. As a result of the amended and restated

operating decisions of Regional Division IV for a purchase price of US$390.7 million, or Rp.3,285 billion, which represents the present value of the fixed monthly payments (totaling US$517 million) to be paid by TELKOM to MGTI from 2004 through 2010 plus direct cost of the business combination.

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 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 was likewise terminated in August 2003. On May 13, 2004, TELKOM received its commercial license to provide IDD fixed line services and began offering such services on June 7, 2004. The MoC issued Indosat a license to provide local telephone services from August 2002. On May 13, 2004, Indosat received its commercial license to provide domestic long-distance telephone services. Indosat launched its CDMA fixed wireless access service under the brand name “StarOne” in Surabaya on May 29, 2004 and in Jakarta on July 25, 2004, thereby creating a “duopoly system” in Indonesia’s fixed line domestic telecommunications market. As of the date of this Annual Report, Indosat only offers this service in limited areas, but is expected to expand service coverage to additional cities in Indonesia. Indosat also commenced offering limited domestic long-distance services for calls within its network in late 2004.

For a description of the important events in the development of the Company’s business since the beginning of the Company’s last three financial years to the date of this Annual Report, see Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating Results — Overview”. A description of the Company’s principal capital expenditures and divestitures, since the beginning of the Company’s last three financial years to the date of this Annual Report is set forth in Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B.

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 lines (which consists of fixed wireline and fixed
wireless); |
| --- | --- |
| • | Cellular; |
| • | Joint Operation Schemes (KSO); |
| • | Interconnection; |
| • | Network; |
| • | Data and Internet; |
| • | Revenue-Sharing Arrangements; and |
| • | Other Telecommunications Services (including revenues from
telephone directory services and building management services). |

For segment reporting purposes, TELKOM has three segments: (i) fixed lines, (ii) cellular and (iii) other. See Note 48 to the consolidated financial statements. The fixed line segment provides local, domestic long-distance and international (starting 2004) telephone services, and other telecommunications services (including among others, leased lines, telex, transponder, satellite and Very Small Aperture Terminal-VSAT) as well as ancillary services. The cellular segment provides basic telecommunication services, particularly mobile cellular telecommunication services. Operating segments that do not individually represent more than 10% of the Company’s revenues are presented as “Other” comprising the telephone directories and building management businesses.

For 2004, 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 2004, TELKOM provided fixed line services in Divisions I, II, III, IV, V and VI. In 2004, revenues from fixed line services in these divisions contributed Rp.10,645.0 billion (US$1,145.9 million), or 31.4% of total operating revenues. Beginning January 20, 2004, when TELKOM acquired Regional Division IV, TELKOM began providing fixed line services in Division IV. Fixed line services in Division VII continue to be provided through KSO, a joint operation arrangement, and revenue to TELKOM from KSO VII is reported under Joint Operation Schemes. See “— Joint Operation Scheme” below.

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, and the MoC issued Indosat a license to provide local telephone services from August 2002. On May 13, 2004, the Government issued TELKOM’s commercial license to provide IDD fixed line services and Indosat’s

Table of Contents

commercial license to provide DLD fixed line services. As a result, TELKOM and Indosat now engage in competition with each other in the markets for these 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, 2004, was available in 192 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, 2004, TELKOM had 1,139 BTSs and 2,470,929 line units deployed, of which 1,057 BTSs and 2,213,579 line units were financed by TELKOM and 82 BTSs and 257,350 line units were established under the RSA scheme. As of December 31, 2004, TELKOM had 1,429,368 TELKOMFlexi subscribers (including 63,005 subscribers in areas financed by RSA schemes).

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 are required to purchase starterpacks containing RUIM cards and vouchers or refills, and pay only usage charges, which are typically higher than those paid by postpaid subscribers. Prepaid subscribers may purchase a Rp.35,000 starterpack, which include a Rp.50,000 voucher, or Rp.80,000 starterpack, which includes a Rp.100,000 voucher. Refills are made through purchasing vouchers, or through voucherless electronic and ATM channels, in amounts ranging from Rp.10,000 to Rp.500,000, depending on the refill method used. Vouchers and refills purchased remain active for limited periods from the date of purchase, ranging from 15 days for a Rp.10,000 voucher or refill to 210 days for a Rp.500,000 voucher or refill. TELKOM generally provides a 30-day grace period after the expiry of the active period in which only incoming calls are allowed.

TELKOMFlexi subscribers are also provided with a number of value-added features, such as SMS, WAP, a web portal, voicemail and information services, such as billing, directory assistance and other content services. The revenues from these services are reported in the Data and Internet category. See “— Data and Internet Services” below. Customers generally have all features offered by cellular services except roaming to other local area codes and internationally. In June 2004, TELKOM launched a “FlexiCombo” service which allows each subscriber to have up to three telephone numbers, with each number assigned for use in one of three different cities, but without local area code or international roaming. As of December 31, 2004, the “Flexicombo” service was available in 130 cities.

IDD Services

TELKOM received its commercial license from the Government to provide IDD services on May 13, 2004. TELKOM began offering IDD services, under the brand name “Telkom International Call 007”, or “TIC 007,” on June 7, 2004. TELKOM reports its IDD revenues under international interconnection revenues as this service requires interconnection between TELKOM and network operators in other countries. See “— Interconnection Services” below. Through its VoIP service, which is known as “TelkomGlobal 017”, TELKOM already provides international call services based on VoIP technology. TELKOM records its revenues from the VoIP service under “Data and Internet Services” as this service uses IP and data-based infrastructure. See “— Data and Internet Services” below.

Cellular Services

TELKOM provides its mobile cellular services through its 65%-owned subsidiary Telkomsel. Cellular revenues grew by 23.2% from 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 to Rp.10,421.3 billion (US$1,121.8 million), or 30.7% of TELKOM’s total operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2004. Over the same period, the total number of Telkomsel’s mobile cellular subscribers (pre-paid and post-paid) increased by 69.8% from approximately 9.6 million at the end of 2003 to approximately 16.3 million as of December 31, 2004. Of the total subscribers as of December 31, 2004, approximately 15.0 million were pre-paid and approximately 1.3 million were post-paid. Based on data developed by Telkomsel from various sources, Telkomsel had an estimated 54% share of the GSM cellular market in Indonesia as of December 31, 2004, compared to an estimated 51% market share as of December 31, 2003.

Telkomsel provided GSM cellular services in Indonesia through its own network and internationally through the networks of 356 international roaming partners in 145 countries as of the end of 2004. As of December 31, 2004, Telkomsel had the largest network of any of the cellular operators in Indonesia, providing coverage to over 90% of Indonesia’s population and more than 650 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 is intended to target the lower segment of the market as well as 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.25,000 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.25,000 starter package contains a SimPATI SIM card and a voucher worth Rp.15,000. SimPATI subscribers can buy pre-paid vouchers ranging in value from Rp.20,000 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. Kartu As and SimPATI starter packages and refill vouchers may be purchased at any of Telkomsel’s service centers and distribution outlets. Electronic refills may also be purchased at selected automatic teller machines, via telephone banking and over the Internet. In June 2004, Telkomsel introduced a new electronic refill service called “M-KIOS” which allows prepaid customers to refill with a mobile handset as the transaction terminal through secure means. In September 2004, Telkomsel introduced an automatic refill service that permits payments through VISA credit cards, pursuant to which a prepaid customer can elect to have a prepaid account refilled automatically in one of the following ways: (i) whenever the prepaid account balance falls below Rp.10,000; (ii) a fixed amount monthly; or (iii) on demand, through SMS. The prepaid customer credits generally have a predetermined expiry date and irrespective of usage will expire on such date, although in August 2004, Telkomsel introduced a “Kartu As always On” package under which prepaid customer credits do not expire but a minimum monthly usage of Rp.25,000 is required, or failing which a charge amounting to the shortfall is imposed.

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, ring back tone (which allows callers to the subscriber of the ring back tone service to hear a pre-selected ringing tone), 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. See “— Data and Internet Services” below.

connection fees, interconnection revenues, international roaming revenues from visitors and dealer discounts) for each month by the respective average number of postpaid or prepaid cellular subscribers for that month.

In June 2004, Telkomsel introduced an enhanced data transmission technology known as “EDGE,” or Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution, which offers enhanced data transmission speeds for handsets equipped to handle EDGE. As of December 31, 2004, EDGE was available in Jakarta and Surabaya.

Joint Operation Scheme

TELKOM and its remaining KSO partner, PT Bukaka SingTel International, provide fixed line and other services in Regional Division VII. Until January 20, 2004, when TELKOM acquired Regional Division IV, TELKOM and its KSO partner, MGTI, provided fixed line and other services in Regional Division IV. In 2004, TELKOM’s revenues from KSO divisions in Regional Division VII and Regional Division IV before its consolidation (including, in each case, amortization of unearned initial investor payments) contributed Rp.656.6 billion (US$70.7 million), or 1.9% of total operating revenues.

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 then 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 to receive the following: (a) a one-time initial payment from the KSO partners; (b) guaranteed minimum monthly payments or Minimum TELKOM Revenues (“MTR”); and (c) additional monthly revenue sharing payments or Distributable TELKOM Revenues (“DTR”) from the revenues of the KSO Unit after payments of MTR and certain operating expenses. The KSO partners were granted licenses to provide fixed line services in the respective regions.

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 measures did not solve the significant difficulties faced by the KSO partners and TELKOM has in recent years acquired or entered into agreements to acquire control of its KSO partners in Regional Divisions I, III and VI, and amended the terms of the KSO Agreement with respect to Regional Division IV to acquire control of the KSO IV operations.

The following describes the developments in recent years in which TELKOM acquired or entered into agreements to acquire control of its KSO partners in Regional Divisions I, III and VI, and amended the terms of the KSO Agreement with respect to Regional Division IV to acquire control of the KSO IV operations.

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, 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 granted the selling shareholders a number of protective rights and was 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 was 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 beneficially owns 100% of Pramindo.

On July 31, 2003, TELKOM acquired 100% of the shares of its KSO partner for Regional Division III, 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 settling claims and disputes involving alleged material breaches of the KSO Agreement by each party. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, 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 was settled as of July 31, 2003. On December 30, 2004, TELKOM fully repaid the balance of the AriaWest loan that it assumed, amounting to US$151.9 million (including principal due in December 2004 of US$24.6 million and interest of US$4.3 million).

In 2001, TELKOM entered into an agreement with Indosat pursuant to which Indosat agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, to acquire TELKOM’s assets in Regional Division IV for US$375 million. This agreement was part of the cross-ownership transaction in 2001. The closing was subject to several conditions precedent including (i) obtaining necessary approvals of the KSO investors and certain lenders to the KSO; (ii) the resolution to the satisfaction of Indosat of disputes relating to TELKOM’s liabilities to the KSO investors under the KSO agreement and the KSO construction agreement; (iii) Indosat or its nominee obtaining authorization or license from the Government to own and operate a public switching telecommunications fixed line and fixed wireless network in the KSO Territory; (iv) the parties having identified and agreed on the asset register of the KSO; and (v) the parties having agreed on the arrangements for the transfer of employees to Indosat. In February 2002, TELKOM and Indosat announced the cancellation of the acquisition as certain conditions precedent had not been satisfied. The acquisition was cancelled primarily because Indosat and TELKOM were unable to agree on appropriate arrangements for the transfer of TELKOM’s employees to Indosat due to the substantial resistance from TELKOM’s employees. As a result of the cancellation of the acquisition, TELKOM paid US$198 million to Indosat, which represented the net balance of TELKOM’s payment obligations as a result of certain other cross-ownership transactions between TELKOM and Indosat. Such net balance of US$198 million was originally intended to be set off from the US$375 million to be paid by Indosat to TELKOM for the acquisition of TELKOM’s assets in Regional Division IV, but became payable by TELKOM to Indosat as a result of the cancellation of the acquisition. The net balance of US$198 million was calculated as follows:

Acquisition of Telkomsel by Telkom (945 )
Sale of Satelindo to Indosat 186
Sale of Lintasarta to Indosat 38
Amount paid in advance by Telkom for acquisition and sales of
the above entities 523

On January 20, 2004, TELKOM and MGTI entered into an agreement to amend and restate the KSO Agreement with respect to Regional Division IV. Under the amended and restated KSO agreement, the rights to operate fixed-line telecommunication services in KSO IV region are transferred to TELKOM and KSO IV is operated under the management, supervision, control and responsibility of TELKOM. In addition, for the remaining KSO period, TELKOM is entitled at its sole discretion and expense to construct new telecommunications facilities in Regional Division IV. MGTI receives fixed monthly payments, while TELKOM is entitled to the balance of the KSO revenues after the monthly amounts due to MGTI and operating expenses. If the KSO IV unit is unable to or does not for any reason pay MGTI the fixed monthly payments due to it, TELKOM is obligated to make up any deficiency. At the end of the KSO period (December 31, 2010), all rights, title and interest of MGTI in existing property, plant and equipment (including new additional installations) and inventories shall be transferred to TELKOM at no cost. As a result of the amended and restated KSO agreement, TELKOM obtained the legal right to control financial and operating decisions of Regional Division IV for a purchase price of US$390.7 million, or Rp.3,285 billion, which represents the present value of the fixed monthly payments (totaling US$517.1 million) to be paid by TELKOM to MGTI from 2004 through 2010 plus direct cost of the business combination. TELKOM has accounted for this transaction as a business combination using the purchase method of accounting in 2004.

On May 17, 2001, TELKOM acquired 90.32% of the issued and outstanding shares of its KSO partner for Regional Division VI, Dayamitra, and purchased a call option and granted a put option with respect to the 9.68% remaining shares of Dayamitra, for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$130.8 million (including a US$8.9 million post-closing working capital adjustment to the purchase price, and excluding consultants’ fees of approximately US$3.3 million, which was capitalized as part of the acquisition cost) which was to be paid in installments. TELKOM paid an initial amount of US$18.3 million on May 17, 2001, the US$8.9 million post-closing working capital adjustment to the purchase price on August 10, 2001 and the balance US$103.6 million in eight quarterly installments of approximately US$12.9 million between August 17, 2001 and May 17, 2003. On December 14, 2004, TELKOM exercised its call option to acquire the remaining 9.68% of the shares of Dayamitra with a strike price of US$16.2 million. The purchase price for 9.68% shares of Dayamitra was US$22.1 million (Rp.203 billion), which represents the present value of the option strike price of US$16.2 million to be paid to an escrow account from December 26, 2004 through March 26, 2006, plus the option purchase price of US$6.3 million and payment for Dayamitra’s adjusted working capital of US$1.0 million.

On June 11, 2002, TELKOM and its KSO partner for Regional Division VII, PT Bukaka SingTel International (“Bukaka SingTel”), entered into a Memorandum of Understanding pursuant to which they agreed to cooperate in providing infrastructure for fixed wireless access using CDMA 2000 1x in KSO VII region. On January 14, 2003, TELKOM and Bukaka SingTel entered into a Co-Operation Agreement on Fixed Wireless CDMA Facilities Construction in KSO Regional Division VII (the “Co-Operation Agreement”) that implemented the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding. Under the terms of the Co-Operation Agreement, TELKOM, through its Fixed Wireless Division, will invest US$30.2 million and Rp. 28.4 billion for the construction of fixed wireless CDMA facilities for 146,700 line units in Denpasar, Makasar, Manado, Kupang and Mataram, which facilities will be managed, operated and maintained by Bukaka SingTel. The new facilities are expected to be completed by 2006, with TELKOM and Bukaka SingTel sharing the revenues generated by these new facilities. See Item 10 “Additional Information — C. Material Contracts.”

TELKOM consolidated Dayamitra in 2001, Pramindo in 2002 and AriaWest in 2003, upon acquisition of a majority ownership interest or control in those KSO partners. In addition, under the amended and restated KSO Agreement with respect to Regional Division IV entered into on January 20, 2004, TELKOM consolidated the operating results of KSO IV from February 1, 2004, being the nearest convenient balance date. Accordingly, the revenue sharing percentage in those KSOs is no longer relevant. As of December 31, 2004, PT Bukaka SingTel International is the only remaining KSO partner that has not been acquired or is not controlled by TELKOM. The following table sets forth certain

Interconnection Services

TELKOM receives revenues from other telecommunications operators providing fixed line, cellular, international long-distance and other services that interconnect with TELKOM’s network. In 2004, revenues from interconnection services contributed Rp.6,188.0 billion (US$666.1 million), or 18.2% of total operating revenues.

TELKOM enters into interconnection agreements with one- to three-year terms with other telecommunications network operators, including Indosat and Satelindo, Indonesia’s IDD service providers and cellular operators, establishing the fees payable by the respective operators and the procedures for routing calls through the networks of the respective operators. Most of the short term (one-year) interconnection agreements are entered into with telecommunications network operators. Beginning in 2004, following the merger of Indosat, Indosat Multi Media Mobile (“IM3”) and Satelindo in 2003, Indosat assumed the obligations of Satelindo and IM3 under their respective interconnection agreements with TELKOM.

In 2005, as a result of new regulations regarding DLD and IDD services, and the expected implementation of the cost-based interconnection scheme to be announced by the Government, TELKOM expects to amend all of its interconnection agreements with other domestic network operators to adjust, among other provisions, routing procedures, network configuration and interconnection fees in accordance with the cost-based interconnection scheme.

On June 7, 2004, TELKOM began offering IDD fixed line services under the brand name “TIC 007.” Revenues from IDD services are reported as international interconnection revenues. In order to facilitate interconnection of international calls, TELKOM has entered into international telecommunications service agreements with telecommunications operators in several countries. In addition, as TELKOM does not have agreements with telecommunication operators in each of its IDD destinations, TELKOM has entered into agreements with certain major carriers such as Singapore Telecommunications Limited (“SingTel”), Telekom Malaysia Berhad (“Telekom Malaysia”), MCI WorldCom (“MCI”) and others for such operators to act as hubs to route international calls to their destinations.

In 2004, revenues from network services contributed Rp.654.3 billion (US$70.4 million), or 1.9% of total operating revenues. TELKOM’s customers for network services include businesses and other telecommunications operators. Customers may enter into agreements that can be for services as brief as a few minutes in the case of broadcasts or long-term agreements for services over the course of one to five years.

Data and Internet Services

TELKOM provides SMS for fixed line, fixed wireless and cellular phones, dial-up and broadband Internet access, data network services (including VPN frame relay and IP VPN), VoIP services for international calls, ISDN lines and other multimedia services. In 2004, revenues from data and Internet services contributed Rp.4,808.7 billion (US$517.6 million), or 14.2% of total operating revenues.

In October 2004, TELKOM introduced a premium prepaid dial-up Internet access service. In 2004, an average of 456,648 telephone subscribers accessed its TELKOMNet Instan and premium prepaid dial-up Internet service per month, representing an increase of 24.7% over the prior year. Subscribers utilized a total of 2.5 billion minutes of TELKOMNet Instan and premium prepaid dial-up service in 2004, of which 131,673 minutes constituted premium prepaid dial-up Internet access. As of December 31, 2004, TELKOM also had 10,710 broadband Internet access subscribers, which was available in Jakarta and Surabaya.

In September 2002, TELKOM began offering a premium VoIP international calling service under the name “TELKOMGlobal-017” and a standard VoIP international calling service under the name “TELKOMSave” and TELKOM is currently providing both services in several cities in Indonesia. As of December 31, 2004, TELKOM’s VoIP services allowed subscribers access to 634 destination points in 235 countries through agreements which TELKOM has entered into with five global carriers and wholesalers that allow TELKOM to access their international networks. VoIP is a low-cost phone service that is accessed by dialing a special international long-distance prefix. Currently, the access code for TELKOM’s VoIP service is “017.” On March 11, 2004, the MoC issued Decree No. 28/2004 and Decree No. 31/2004, which stated that VoIP access codes must be changed from three digits to five digits (“010XY”), and on April 1, 2005, the MoCI announced that the five digit VoIP access codes must be implemented by all operators by December 31, 2005.

The Company plans to increase the number of access points in Indonesia and abroad from which its customers are able to access its VoIP services. In 2004, an average of 9,235,832 minutes call used either TELKOMSave or TELKOMGlobal each month, representing an increase of 55.4% over the prior year.

Revenue-Sharing Arrangements (PBHs)

TELKOM has entered into separate agreements with several investors under revenue-sharing arrangements to develop fixed lines, public card-phone booths (including their maintenance) and related supporting telecommunications facilities. In 2004, revenues from revenue-sharing arrangements amounted to Rp.280.6 billion (US$30.2 million), or 0.8% of TELKOM’s total operating revenues.

38 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2004, the Company has 76 revenue-sharing arrangements with 59 partners. The revenue-sharing arrangements were located mostly in Palembang, Pekanbaru, Jakarta, Central Java and Surabaya with concession period ranging from 4 to 176 months.

Under some revenue-sharing arrangements, the investors finance the costs incurred in constructing telecommunications facilities. Upon completion of the construction, the Company manages and operates the facilities and generally 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.

Generally, 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.

Under revenue-sharing arrangements entered into before October 2002, TELKOM guaranteed a specific internal rate of return for the investors. However, since October 2002, TELKOM’s no longer guarantees an internal rate of return in new revenue sharing arrangements it enters into. In February 2004, TELKOM began implementing its Penyediaan Pengembangan Layanan Telekomunikasi (“PPLT”) program in the Regional Divisions that it controls. Pursuant to the PPLT program, division heads are allowed to enter into agreements for the development of telecommunications facilities with partners within each regional division. In deciding what agreements to enter into, division heads are required to consider certain business factors and act within specified parameters. Priority is also being given to the development of CDMA facilities.

Other Telecommunications Services

TELKOM also provides a variety of other services, such as:

| • | telephone directory, which TELKOM provides through its
majority-owned subsidiary, Infomedia; |
| --- | --- |
| • | cable and pay television and related services, which it provides
through its majority-owned subsidiary, Indonusa; and |
| • | telex and telegram services. |

In 2004, revenues from other telecommunications services amounted to Rp.293.2 billion (US$31.6 million), or 0.9% of TELKOM’s total operating revenues.

Network Infrastructure

Fixed line Network and Backbone

Fixed Line Network. TELKOM’s fixed line network comprises a hierarchy of exchanges ranging from local exchanges through trunk exchanges. Each local exchange is connected to the subscriber’s premises by equipment and facilities called outside plant. Outside plant includes wireline (optical fiber and copper) and wireless local transmission links and the distribution facilities joining them. All of TELKOM’s switching facilities at the local and trunk exchanges are now digital. TELKOM believes that this substantially increases network efficiency, performance and call routing flexibility.

TELKOM’s total number of fixed lines in service in all divisions, including for fixed wireless access, and those lines in KSO divisions which are owned by the KSO partners and will be transferred to TELKOM at the end of the KSO period, has increased from approximately 8.48 million as of December 31, 2003 to approximately 9.99 million as of December 31, 2004, of which approximately 6.57 million were for residential customers, approximately 2.98 million were for business customers, approximately 13,188 were for social customers (which include churches, hospitals, schools and

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, 2004, TELKOMFlexi service was available in 192 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, 2004, TELKOM had 1,139 BTSs and 2,470,929 line units deployed for its CDMA fixed wireless service, of which 1,057 BTSs and 2,213,579 line units were financed by TELKOM and 82 BTSs and 257,350 line units were established under the RSA scheme. As of December 31, 2004, TELKOM had 1,429,368 TELKOMFlexi subscribers (consisting of 1,366,363 subscribers in non-RSA areas and 63,005 subscribers in RSA areas).

Mobile Cellular 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 90% of Indonesia’s population and more than 650 cities as of December 31, 2004. 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. Both networks operate as a single integrated dual band network. Telkomsel has rolled out GPRS services nationwide since October 2002. In February 2004, Telkomsel introduced an enhanced data transmission technology known as “EDGE,” or Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution, which offers enhanced data transmission speeds for handsets equipped to handle EDGE. As of December 31, 2004, EDGE was available in Jakarta and Surabaya.

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,

Table of Contents

Telkomsel leases certain of TELKOM’s facilities, including leased lines, integrated management system and information system facilities, land, sites and towers. As of December 31, 2004, Telkomsel’s digital network had 6,205 BTSs, 84 cellular switching centers, 195 base station controllers and 49,332 transmitting and receiving exchanges, with an overall network capacity capable of supporting 17.9 million subscribers.

For each of the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 Telkomsel made capital expenditures for the development and expansion of its cellular network of approximately Rp.4,531.0 billion, Rp.5,348.8 billion and Rp.4,982.7 billion (US$536.4 million), respectively.

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.

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, 2004, TELKOM’s IP-based network covered most of the metropolitan areas of Indonesia, with routers in 175 nodes nationwide. The IP-based network serves as the backbone network for high quality VPNs, VoIP and for Internet service providers. TELKOM has remote access servers in 87 locations in Indonesia used for its “TELKOMNet Instan” dial-up Internet services. For corporate customers requiring high performance and secured virtual private networks, TELKOM provides a premium service known as VPN Frame Relay.

International Network

TELKOM received its commercial license from the Government to provide IDD services on May 13, 2004 and began offering IDD fixed line services under the brand name “TIC 007” on June 7, 2004. To route outgoing IDD and incoming international calls, TELKOM has three international gateways, in Batam, Jakarta and Surabaya.

To connect its domestic network to the global network, TELKOM primarily relies on the following microwave, international cable and satellite links: (i) microwave link between Batam and Johor (Malaysia); (ii) TIS (Thailand-Indonesia-Singapore) cable system, which is an international submarine fiber optic cable system deployed by TELKOM, SingTel and CAT Telecom Public Company Limited and completed in November 2003, which connects Indonesia (Batam), Singapore (Changi) and Thailand (Songkhla) and was extended to Hong Kong in July 2004; (iii) Intelsat satellite. TELKOM completed developing the ground segment to link its network to the Intelsat satellite in December 2004; and (iv) Dumai Melaka cable system, which is an international submarine fiber optic cable system deployed by TELKOM and Telekom Malaysia to connect Dumai (Indonesia) to Melaka (Malaysia) and completed in December 2004. These multiple international links provide flexibility for TELKOM to interconnect with foreign operators.

Mobile Cellular Network Development

In 2004, Telkomsel extended its GSM coverage to cover all counties in Indonesia. It also continued to improve the quality of its coverage in Jakarta, Surabaya and other major cities through the addition of microcells and expansion of its fiber optic transmission backbone. In 2004, Telkomsel added, among other equipment, 1,385 BTSs and 10,708 transmitting and receiving exchanges. Telkomsel plans to continue to install additional BTSs to further expand its coverage, further expand its fiber optic transmission backbone for major cities in Java, install additional microcells and install additional transmitting and receiving exchanges, particularly in provincial areas, to further improve the quality of its coverage, upgrade its switching equipment to increase network capacity, and expand its intelligent network used in connection with its prepaid products.

Data Network Development

In 2004, TELKOM continued to improve the quality of its data network by adding capacity and coverage, increasing the capacity and coverage area of its network management system, as well as improving its billing system, security and access to its data network. TELKOM also expanded the coverage of its high performance IP backbone and related IP infrastructure to increase its IP traffic capacity. TELKOM appointed a consortium consisting of Juniper Networks (Hong Kong), Ltd, PT Siemens Indonesia and PT Datacom Diangraha to develop its IP core network for Rp.29.8 billion, through a letter agreement in December 2004 and formalized by a contract dated April 1, 2005. The project was awarded after holding an e-auction, and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2005.

In 2004, TELKOM also improved the quality and coverage of its broadband Internet access network by continuing to expand its ADSL broadband access network, which currently covers Division II (Jakarta) and Division V (East Java). TELKOM is planning to deploy a nationwide ADSL broadband Internet access network, and expects to enter into a contract in the near future for the development of this network, which it expects will be completed around the third quarter of 2005.

TELKOM-2 Satellite

TELKOM signed a US$73.1 million contract with Orbital Sciences Corporation to build the TELKOM-2 satellite based on Orbital’s STAR-2 platform, to replace TELKOM’s Palapa B-4 satellite, which is expected to be taken out of service after the TELKOM-2 satellite is launched and the operational lifespan of which expired in late 2004. The TELKOM-2 satellite has a capacity of 24 standard C-band transponders, with transponder specifications similar to those of the TELKOM-1 satellite. TELKOM-2 has 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.

TELKOM expects to launch TELKOM-2 around September 2005. 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 low penetration rates for both fixed lines and mobile cellular lines compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. 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 contribute the substantial majority of its operating revenues in the near term. 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 (such as the setting up of its enterprise service division and account management teams), product leadership and diversification, competitive pricing and one-gate distribution channels.

The key elements of TELKOM’s strategy are:

Strengthening the Fixed line Business

Indonesia has one of the lowest fixed line penetration rates in Southeast Asia. As of December 31, 2004, a majority of total lines in service were in the major metropolitan areas of Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang, Bandung, Medan and Denpasar.

TELKOM aims to strengthen its fixed line business by:

| • | increasing its fixed line penetration rate more quickly and with
lower capital expenditure per line through the rapid roll-out of
fixed wireless technology, revenue sharing arrangements, new
partnership agreements and pay as you grow schemes; |
| --- | --- |
| • | increasing ARPU through the use of TELKOMFlexi and value added
services; |
| • | concentrating on its top 20 products in the top 40 cities and
targeting the top 20% of its customers with ARPUs of more than
Rp.150,000 by providing bundled services, broadband access, a
customer care service center for business customers and other
benefits; |
| • | strengthening its interconnection business by establishing a
service center dedicated to telecommunications operators and
other interconnection customers, opening more gateways to other
telecommunications operators, offering more attractive pricing
and providing enhanced billing services; |
| • | strengthening PlasaTELKOM as a point of sale for TELKOM’s
services; and |
| • | developing and expanding its IDD fixed line business, which
TELKOM began offering to customers on June 7, 2004. |

Strengthening its Backbone Network

In order to provide a better quality of service to its customers, TELKOM intends to continue to increase the capacity, coverage and quality of its network by, among other things, using an optical network for high speed backbone transmission infrastructure such as its Java optical backbone, HPBT Sumatera (2002-2003), Trans Borneo and Trans Sulawesi (2004-2005) and by its planned launch of the new TELKOM-2 satellite to replace the Palapa B-4 satellite. In addition, TELKOM aims to manage

Table of Contents

synergies among utility providers in order to enhance backbone capacity and access network penetration, expanding its optical network, upgrading to a next generation network with the installation of advanced switching systems, constructing international microwave and submarine links and upgrading its systems to provide integrated billing for new services.

Maintaining Telkomsel’s Leading Position in the Industry

The Company regards the cellular business as having the greatest opportunity for revenue growth. The Company provides its cellular services through Telkomsel, a market leader in the cellular business in Indonesia. Based on industry statistics, Telkomsel had an estimated market share as of December 31, 2004 of approximately 54% of the GSM mobile cellular market, maintaining its position as the largest nationwide licensed GSM mobile cellular operator in Indonesia and representing a slight increase from its estimated market share of 51% as of December 31, 2003. TELKOM intends to promote the further development of Telkomsel’s business by, among other things, offering bundling of and one-stop shopping for, TELKOM’s and Telkomsel’s products and services, and expanding Telkomsel’s network capacity to enable Telkomsel to meet the projected needs of its customer base through 2005. In order to focus on Telkomsel and GSM technology, TELKOM has sold its interests in cellular operators PT Telekomindo Selular Raya (“Telesera”), PT Metro Selular Nusantara (“Metrosel”) and PT Komunikasi Selular Indonesia (“Komselindo”) which utilize analog and other first generation non-GSM technologies.

TELKOM believes that the 35% equity interest of Singapore Telecom Mobile Pte Ltd (“SingTel Mobile”) in Telkomsel increases Telkomsel’s ability to access SingTel Mobile’s technological and commercial expertise in the cellular business and increases opportunities for cooperation between Telkomsel and SingTel Mobile in the development of new products, thereby strengthening and better positioning Telkomsel to face competition from other mobile cellular operators.

The key elements of Telkomsel’s strategy for its business include:

| • | taking advantage of commercial, operational and network
synergies with TELKOM and sharing best-practices and know-how
with SingTel Mobile; |
| --- | --- |
| • | continuous capacity and coverage expansion at predefined quality
levels to handle subscriber growth; |
| • | maintaining or improving market share by continuously aligning
the characteristics and features of Telkomsel’s service
offerings to the evolving needs of its customer, enhancing its
products and services portfolio (including its EDGE and GPRS
services), expanding network capacity and improving service
quality; |
| • | ensuring that Telkomsel has the IT infrastructure in place to
fulfill its vision and mission, with special focus on areas such
as billing, service delivery and customer service; and |
| • | achieving service levels at par with world class mobile service
providers through its call center footprint and aggressive
pursuit of service oriented goals. |

Developing its Fixed Wireless Business

TELKOM began offering a limited mobility CDMA-based fixed wireless phone service under the brand name “TELKOMFlexi” in December 2002. TELKOM’s rollout of this service began in the three cities of Surabaya, Denpasar and Balikpapan and, as of December 31, 2004, was available in 192 cities throughout Indonesia, including Jakarta, Malang, Batam, Makasar, Banjarmasin, Medan and Palangkaraya. TELKOM plans to continue to expand its CDMA-based fixed wireless networks in all of its regional divisions by constructing CDMA-based fixed wireless networks. Compared to fixed wireline networks, CDMA-based networks are generally faster and easier to construct and provide customers with greater flexibility and mobility. TELKOM believes the deployment of a CDMA-based fixed

47 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

wireless network and its TELKOMFlexi business will provide TELKOM with a competitive advantage in the face of liberalization and increased competition in the fixed line market.

Developing its Data and Internet Business

TELKOM intends to grow its data and Internet business by, among other things:

| • | increased investment in TELKOM’s broadband infrastructure
(such as ADSL, Hybrid Fiber/ Coaxial and satellite); |
| --- | --- |
| • | focusing on retaining and acquiring customers with high demand
for data services by offering competitive pricing for high-speed
data and Internet services (including value-added services) and
full VPN IPs, and by expanding TELKOM’s backbone and
network access technology; |
| • | giving customers greater Internet access options, such as
through wireless hotspot technology and the bundling of Internet
access services with TELKOMFlexi and Telkomsel products; |
| • | developing and offering new value-added services and products,
such as e-payment services for banks and other financial
institutions and wireless data content for GPRS and MMS users; |
| • | expanding the international coverage of TELKOM’s data and
Internet services by entering into agreements with additional
global carriers and wholesalers; and |
| • | expanding the coverage and quality of its Internet Protocol
backbone to increase data and Internet traffic capacity. |

Reducing Cost of Capital

TELKOM recognizes that the increasingly competitive Indonesian telecommunications market requires TELKOM to develop additional network capacity, improve operational efficiency and diversify its sources of financing. TELKOM’s internally generated cash flows and direct borrowing from banks and other lenders may not be sufficient to fund aggressive plans to grow its business. As a result, TELKOM has sought to implement a “pay as you grow” scheme starting from the end of 2002 for its additional network capacity in order to:

• share investment risks with its suppliers;
• reduce its asset base and outsource non-core businesses; and
• mitigate financing, commercial, operational, technical and
capacity risks.

“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. The “pay as you grow” scheme allows TELKOM to pay the equipment vendors based on the attainment of a certain number of customers in the related area/facility or within one year from completion date, whichever is earlier. Vendors participating in this “pay as you grow” scheme have assessed the risk of entering into such scheme and, up to the date of this Annual Report, have only been willing to enter into this scheme for projects that they believe have high customer potential. Accordingly, vendors have always been paid by TELKOM within a few months after the equipment has been delivered. 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.

Increasing TELKOM and Telkomsel Synergy

TELKOM seeks to increase its synergy with Telkomsel, and seeks to promote the sharing of facilities and information, the combining of resources and increased coordination. These resources

Telkomsel markets its KartuHALO product and services to specific target groups, focusing on corporate end-users, HALOkeluarga, and professionals who tend to generate higher usage and, therefore, higher revenues. Telkomsel has established dedicated corporate account teams to market its services to large corporate customers and to manage on-going client relationships. Its prepaid products and services are targeted at a much broader customer base.

Telkomsel advertises through a variety of media for strategic branding and promotions. In addition, Telkomsel employs marketing methods such as bill inserts and point-of-sale displays in order to target programs, events and promotions at particular segments of the market. Telkomsel’s marketing strategy also includes conducting on-going market analysis to better understand its targeted subscribers and to gather feedback on customer preferences. It conducts such analysis with a view to improving and introducing new services to cater to the requirements of existing customers and to attract new subscribers.

Billing, Payment and Collection

TELKOM’s customers are billed on a monthly basis. Customers are billed according to the regional division in which they are located, although they may request bills from several regions to be combined. The billing process is computerized within each region. Payment can be made within the respective regions, through designated automated teller machines, at post offices and banks that act as collecting agents and in certain areas by direct deposit via telephone transfer or by automatic debit through banks and Internet banking. However, for overdue payments, customers are required to make such payments only at TELKOM’s customer service points. TELKOM issues bills on the fifth day of each month and payment of the bill is due by the 20th day of that same month. If payment is not received by the due date of the bill, customers are provided with reminders by way of automated telephone calls and reminder letters, nominal late fees are levied and increasing levels of call barring are implemented. Services will be terminated if no payment is received after three months from the due

date, although TELKOM does not cut off service to its Government subscribers. After an account is terminated, the customer may only re-subscribe for services after making the overdue payment, including payment of late fees, and by completing a new application.

The following is a summary of TELKOM’s overdue payment policy:

Stage Overdue Payment Charge Penalty
I 1-10 days 5% of the total outstanding receivables, subject to the minimum
charge of Rp.5,000 Not isolated
II 11-40 days 10% of overdue bill subject to minimum charge of Rp.10,000 Out-going isolation (i.e., restricted to receiving incoming
calls only)
III 41-70 days 15% of overdue bill subject to minimum charge of Rp.15,000 Total isolation (i.e., no outgoing or incoming calls)
IV More than 70 days Customer must fulfill overdue payment, 100% of installation fee Terminated

TELKOM currently provides billing services for Indosat in connection with their IDD services, for which it charges a flat fee for each bill.

Management of Customer Receivables

TELKOM does not collect deposits from subscribers. TELKOM has historically been the only provider of fixed line telecommunication services in Indonesia and has more than 9 million subscriber lines on its fixed line network. A delinquent subscriber, except for Government, police and military customers, is subject to late fees, increasing levels of call barring and, eventually, disconnection of the service after approximately 3 months of delinquency. Since the monthly bill for the average customer is insignificant and the customer is required to pay a reinstallation fee, the overdue payment and all late fees when the customer intends to resubscribe, there is no incentive for the customer not to pay his outstanding bill. In addition, TELKOM screens potential customers for fixed line by reviewing identity card and electricity billing statements and by visiting the residence of such potential customers. Accordingly, TELKOM believes that the collectibility of its receivables is reasonably assured.

In the case of private retail customers, TELKOM generally provides for 100% of the outstanding debt where the amount has been outstanding for more than three months. In the case of Government, police and military customers, TELKOM generally provides for 25% of the outstanding debt where the amount has been outstanding between 7 and 12 months, 50% where the amount has been outstanding between 13 and 24 months and 100% where the amount has been outstanding for more than 24 months.

Telkomsel

Telkomsel bills its KartuHALO post-paid subscribers on a monthly basis, in arrears based on: (i) the minutes of use for cellular services; (ii) any additional, chargeable value-added services utilized during the period; and (iii) subscription charges for basic and other services included in their subscription plan. Beginning March 2004, postpaid subscribers can choose among three options: (a) free national roaming; (b) 150 free SMS per month; or (c) waiver of the monthly subscription charge.

Telkomsel offers its KartuHALO post-paid subscribers a variety of payment options, including payment by cash, cheque, credit card, direct deposit via telephone transfer or automatic debit through banks and participating credit card companies. Payments may be made at any of Telkomsel’s GraPARI

centers, designated automatic-teller machines or through over-the-counter facilities (mostly at post offices and banks with whom Telkomsel has an arrangement).

Telkomsel issues bills to retail customers on the fifth day of each month and payment of the bill is due by the 20th day of that same month (corporate customers can choose the day of the month that they would like their bill due and Telkomsel issues the bill approximately 15 days prior to such date). If payment is not received by the due date of the bill, subscribers are provided with reminders by way of automated telephone calls or SMS, and the customer will be barred from making any outgoing calls or receiving any incoming roaming calls. If there is no payment of the overdue sum within one month from the due date of the relevant bill, the customer will be further barred from receiving all incoming calls. If no payment is received within two months of the due date of payment, the customer’s account will then be terminated, although Telkomsel will continue to seek payment and may seek the assistance of a debt collection agency. After an account is terminated, the customer may only re-subscribe for services after making the overdue payment and by completing a new application. Telkomsel does not charge any late fees or interest on its overdue accounts.

Insurance

As of December 31, 2004, TELKOM’s property, plant and equipment, including optical fibers but excluding multi-pair cables, were insured against the risk of fire, theft and other specified risks for an aggregate coverage value of Rp.19.3 trillion (US$2.1 billion). TELKOM maintained additional insurance coverage as of such date of US$51.6 million in the event of a total loss of the TELKOM-1 satellite. In connection with its planned launch of the TELKOM-2 satellite, TELKOM has procured insurance to cover both the satellite and launch services. With regard to the TELKOM-2 satellite, TELKOM has procured (i) a satellite launch and in-orbit insurance providing coverage of US$79.3 million to cover the event of a total loss of the satellite in the period between lift-off and up to one year in orbit, and (ii) post separation and in-orbit insurance coverage of US$71.0 million to cover the event of a total loss in the period between the separation of the satellite from the launcher up to one year in orbit. With regard to launch services, TELKOM has procured a launch risk guarantee from Arianespace that provides reflight in the event of a launch failure in the period between lift-off and separation. As of December 31, 2004, TELKOM also maintained general insurance coverage for motor vehicles of Rp.107.7 billion (US$11.6 million). TELKOM does not maintain business interruption insurance.

TELKOM’s subsidiaries separately insure their property in such amounts and in accordance with the policies determined and implemented by the subsidiaries themselves.

Telkomsel

Telkomsel has an electronic equipment and industrial all-risk insurance policy underwritten by a consortium led by PT Asuransi Ramayana Tbk in the amount of US$2.4 billion. The policy provides cover for Telkomsel’s network equipment, facilities, infrastructure and buildings although it excludes losses suffered as a result of war, civil war, rebellion, revolution, terrorism, insurrection or military or usurped power, amongst other exclusions. Telkomsel also has general insurance for motor vehicle liabilities and comprehensive general liabilities. Telkomsel does not maintain business interruption insurance.

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.

53 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

The Government has extensive regulatory authority and supervisory control over the telecommunications sector, primarily through the MoCI. 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, 2004, Indonesia had an estimated fixed line penetration (excluding Indosat’s fixed wireless subscribers) of 4.11% and an estimated cellular penetration of 14%, based on projected population figures from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics.

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 MoCI. The MoCI is responsible for the overall supervision and regulation of the industry. Within the MoCI, various directorates and bureaus carry out specific regulatory duties. The MoCI has authority to issue implementing decrees, which are typically broad in scope, thereby giving the MoCI considerable latitude. Pursuant to such decrees, the MoCI 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 MoCI, 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. In 2005, pursuant to a presidential decree, such regulatory responsibilities were transferred to the MoCI. Through the DGPT, a directorate under the MoCI, the Government regulates the radio frequency spectrum allocation for all operators, including TELKOM, which are required to obtain a license from the MoCI 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 No. KM 72 of 1999 dated July 20, 1999 (the “Blueprint”). The policies stated in the Blueprint are intended to:

| • | 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; |
| • | 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 Telecommunications 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 DGPT.

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

55 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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 Post and Telecommunication Services. Members of the Committee of Telecommunication Regulations were appointed on December 19, 2003.

MoC Decree No. 67/2003 stipulates the relationship between the MoC, from which telecommunications regulatory responsibility was transferred to the MoCI in February 2005, and ITRB. As part of its regulatory function, ITRB is authorized to (i) carry out the selection or evaluation for licensing of telecommunications networks and services in accordance with the MoCI’s policy, and (ii) propose to the MoCI the operation performance standards for telecommunications networks and services, service quality standards, interconnection charges and equipment standardization. As part of its monitoring function, the ITRB is authorized to monitor and is required to report to the MoCI on (i) the implementation of the operation performance standards for telecommunications networks and services, (ii) the competition among network and service operators, and (iii) compliance on the utilization of telecommunication equipment in accordance to the applicable standards. As part of its controlling function, the ITRB is also authorized and required to report to the MoCI regarding (i) the facilitation of any dispute resolution among network and service operators, and (ii) the control of the use of telecommunications equipment and implementation of service quality standards. Decisions of the ITRB are in the form of a DGPT decree.

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.

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

Pursuant to the Telecommunications Law the existing licenses for telecommunication services is in the process of being replaced with the so-called “Modern Licenses”. 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, network performance obligations and contributing 0.75% of their gross revenues for 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. TELKOM’s separate licenses to provide fixed line

56 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

services, DLD services and IDD services were replaced and combined into a single license issued on May 13, 2004. TELKOM also has a multimedia license that includes services such as Internet service provider, data communication and VoIP.

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 (prior to the merger of Satelinto into Indosat in November 2003) 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 and Indosat. 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). 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 of the date of this annual report, TELKOM has not received any payments of the Rp.478 billion compensation. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to TELKOM and its Subsidiaries — TELKOM operates in a legal and regulatory environment that is undergoing significant reforms and such reforms may adversely affect TELKOM’s business.”

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 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, predatory pricing, 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

57 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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 interconnected operator (e.g. IDD, cellular, fixed wireline, fixed wireless or satellite), and are determined in accordance with MoC Decree No. No. 46/1998 (IDD and IDD, DLD and DLD, cellular and DLD, cellular and cellular, cellular and IDD), as amended by MoC Decree 37/1999 (DLD and IDD) and MoC Decree No. KU506/1997 (fixed wireline and fixed wireless). 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. As of the date of this Annual Report, the MoCI, to which telecommunications regulatory responsibility was transferred in February 2005, is still 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 implemented 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; and |
| • | DLD and IDD fixed telecommunication network operators (currently
only TELKOM and Indosat) may now provide DLD and IDD basic
telephony services. |

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. Based on Decree No. 28/2004, TELKOM, which currently uses “0” as the access code for its DLD service, was required by March 1, 2005 to cease using the “0” access code and to implement a three digit access code in the form of “01X” for access to its DLD service. However, TELKOM has not within the given deadline implemented, and does not expect to in the near future to implement, a three digit access code, as extensive installation or upgrade of equipment will be required. TELKOM expects to incur significant costs in connection with the new requirement to establish three digit DLD access codes, including expenditures required to install or upgrade new switching facilities, create a new routing database, costs relating to customer education and other marketing costs. In response to the MoC Decree No. 28/2004, in June 2004, TELKOM submitted a letter to the ITRB highlighting the technical difficulties in implementing the three digit DLD access codes within the given deadline and the substantial costs involved, and requesting that TELKOM be allowed to continue using the “0” prefix for its DLD access prefix and that it be given an additional five year period to implement the three digit DLD access codes. On April 1, 2005, the MoCI announced that it would make available to Indosat the “011” DLD access in five major cities that were

58 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

technically ready for interconnection, including Jakarta, and progressively extend it to all other area codes within five years. TELKOM has also been assigned “017” as its DLD access code. However, interconnection between Indosat and TELKOM in these five cities would still be subject to the parties reaching agreement on technical and business arrangements and entering into an interconnection agreement. In the five-year interim period and thereafter, the “0” prefix may continue to be used by all operators, including TELKOM, as default codes for each operator’s customers to access the DLD service selected by the respective operator.

On May 17, 2005, the MoCI issued decree No. 6/2005. According to Decree No. 6/2005, the three digit access code in the form of “01X” and “0” access code for access to DLD services may be used. The “0” access code is being used to accommodate customers who prefer not to choose their long-distance carrier, while the “01X” access code has to be implemented gradually in local areas in which TELKOM has technical capabilities to support such services. By April 1, 2010, the “01X” long-distance services must be commenced in all TELKOM’s local areas to accommodate customers who prefer to choose their long-distance carrier. TELKOM is in the process of negotiating with Indosat to allow TELKOM’s customers to access Indosat’s DLD services and for Indosat’s fixed and mobile customers to access TELKOM’s IDD 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 DGPT 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. As of the date of this Annual Report, the SKTT has not commenced operations.

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, 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 September 3, 2003, the DGPT issued a letter stating that telecommunications operators in Indonesia will be required to contribute 0.75% of gross revenues (with due consideration for bad debt and interconnection charges) for USO development. On March 11, 2004, the MoC issued Decree No. 34/2004, which stated that USO facilities must meet the following minimum requirements: (a) the facilities should meet the standards of basic

59 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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 DGPT. Tariffs for services provided under the USO program are based on the applicable PSTN tariffs. On March 30, 2004, the MoC issued Announcement No. PM. 2/2004, which sets forth the basic policies underlying the USO program and required telecommunications operators in Indonesia to contribute 0.75% of gross revenues (with due consideration for bad debt and interconnection charges) for USO development. As of the date of this Annual Report, there has been no implementing regulations or announcement as to when such contribution will take effect. The MoCI 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 28/2004 (“Amendments to the Decree of the Minister of Communication No. KM. 4/2001 of Fundamental Technical Plan National 2000), 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 MoCI 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 such as for the use of orbital slots and radio frequencies, 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

Historically, TELKOM had the exclusive right to provide fixed line domestic telecommunications services in Indonesia. Pursuant to regulations introduced to implement the Telecommunications Law, the Government terminated TELKOM’s monopoly in providing fixed line domestic telecommunications services. The MoC issued Indosat a license to provide local telephone services from August 2002. On May 13, 2004, Indosat received its commercial license to provide domestic long-distance telephone services. Indosat launched its CDMA fixed wireless access service under the brand name “StarOne” in Surabaya on May 29, 2004 and in Jakarta on July 25, 2004, thereby creating a “duopoly system” in Indonesia’s fixed line domestic telecommunications market. As of December 31, 2004, Indosat only offers this service in Jakarta, Surabaya, Malang and their surrounding areas. Based on amendment to the interconnection agreement between TELKOM and Indosat dated March 31, 2005, TELKOM has agreed to open interconnection with Indosat’s local fixed line service in certain areas such as Batam, Bandung, Medan, Balikpapan and Malang. Therefore, Indosat is expected to expand its service coverage to other cities in Indonesia. Indosat also commenced offering limited domestic long-distance services for calls within its network in late 2004.

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

As of the date of this Annual Report, the cellular market in Indonesia is dominated by Telkomsel, Indosat and Excelcomindo. As of December 31, 2004, these nationwide GSM operators collectively had over 90% of the Indonesian cellular market. The number of cellular subscribers in Indonesia totaled approximately 18.8 million at the end of 2003 and approximately 30.4 million at the end of 2004, representing an annual growth rate of approximately 62% during that period. Despite this rapid growth, the cellular penetration rate in Indonesia, at approximately 14% at the end of 2004, 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, 2004, Telkomsel remained the largest national licensed provider of GSM services in Indonesia, with approximately 16.3 million cellular subscribers and a market share of approximately 54% of the GSM mobile cellular market, which represented a slight increase compared to its approximately 51% market share as of December 31, 2003. Indosat, as a result of its merger with

Satelindo, was the second largest provider with approximately 9.8 million cellular subscribers and a market share of approximately 32% as of December 31, 2004. Excelcomindo had approximately 3.9 million subscribers and a market share of approximately 13% as of December 31, 2004. Since 2003, Mobile 8 has also operated a nationwide CDMA mobile cellular service. Mobile 8 had approximately 0.1 million subscribers and a market share of approximately 0.3% as of December 31, 2004. In addition to the nationwide GSM operators, a number of smaller regional GSM, analog and CDMA cellular providers operate in Indonesia.

The following table sets forth summary information as of December 31, 2004 on each of the three leading nationwide licensed GSM mobile cellular operators:

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 was completed in December 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 also completed developing the ground segment to connect to the Intelsat Satellite in December 2004. 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 through the Internet. VoIP operators offering international services also compete with IDD operators, such as Indosat and, beginning on June 7, 2004, TELKOM.

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. TELKOM provided 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 services. 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 received its Modern License to provide fixed line services, DLD services and IDD services on May 13, 2004. 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 — Risks relating to TELKOM and its subsidiaries — 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 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.

Table of Contents

IDD. TELKOM received, as part of its Modern License, its commercial license to provide IDD services on May 13, 2004 pursuant to the terms of MoC Decree No. KP 162/2004.

VoIP and ISP. TELKOM holds a Modern License to provide VoIP and ISP services, pursuant to a DGPT Decree No. SK01/dirjen/2004, which also permits TELKOM to provide data communications services.

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 MoCI regulates prices and the amount TELKOM can charge is based on a tariff formula for telecommunications services in Indonesia. Telecommunications operators may set the amount of tariff. In this regard, TELKOM’s operating business units have authority to make adjustments to prices based on specific guidelines fixed by the directors of TELKOM.

Fixed line Tariffs

Fixed line tariffs consist of monthly subscription and usage charges. 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 typically 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. See Item 3. “Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks relating to TELKOM and its subsidiaries — TELKOM operates in a legal and regulatory environment that is undergoing significant reforms and such reforms may adversely affect TELKOM’s business.”

On March 30, 2004, the Government 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 10.6% and monthly subscription charges increasing by varying amounts from 12.1% to 25.1%.

The Government did not carry out its plan to further increase fixed line tariffs to reach the 45.49% average increase announced in January 2002 by January 2005. In an announcement by the MoCI on April 1, 2005 regarding access codes, the MoCI indicated that there would be another rebalancing of tariffs in the future. However, there has been no indication by the MoCI when the Government intends to carry out the plan.

CDMA Fixed Wireless Tariffs

Tariffs charged to CDMA fixed wireless subscribers are reported as fixed line revenues. TELKOM offers both postpaid and prepaid fixed wireless services.

Postpaid. Postpaid subscribers pay a one-time activation charge of Rp.25,000 and a monthly charge of Rp.30,000. Usage charges for postpaid subscribers beginning April 1, 2004 are as follows:

Cellular Tariffs

The Indonesian cellular telecommunications market generally operates on a “calling party pays” system, which requires that the originators of telephone calls pay for calls. Cellular operators in Indonesia set their own tariffs, subject to specified maximum limits established by the Government. The Government has announced that it intends to move towards a cost-based tariff structure for

Table of Contents

cellular services as of January 1, 2005. However, it has not announced a proposed framework for such a formula. ITRB has submitted a regulation draft to MoCI, and it is expected that the Government will announce the proposed framework in the near future. As cellular operators generally need a lead time of approximately six months to prepare for such a change, it is expected that the new regulation will likely be implemented in January 2006.

Postpaid Tariffs. The cellular tariffs for postpaid subscription services consist of activation, monthly subscription and usage charges. The following table sets forth the maximum cellular tariffs for postpaid services, effective February 25, 1998:

Leased Line Tariffs

The Government determines the maximum tariffs for leased lines. The Government reduced leased line tariffs substantially in 1997 and 1998. On January 1, 1997, the Government decreased tariffs for leased lines by an average of 52%. Leased line tariffs for other telecommunications operators and Government bodies were further reduced by up to 30% effective January 1, 1998. The Government has announced that it intends to move towards a formula-based tariff structure for leased line services, however, it has not announced a proposed framework for such a formula.

VoIP Tariffs

Charges for VoIP services may be freely determined by VoIP operators, based on cost. TELKOM has launched its VoIP services, which as of the date of this Annual Report 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.

Satellite Tariffs

TELKOM generally charges an annual tariff of between US$1.15 million to US$1.5 million per transponder, although in some instances TELKOM may offer discounted tariffs for long-term commitments or loyal customers.

determines the tariff formula for basic telephony services, while there is no stipulation for the tariff of other services.

Tariffs for Interconnection and Access

As of the date of this Annual Report, the Government 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 the network on which calls terminate would determine the interconnection charge to be received by it based on a formula to be mandated by the Government, which would be intended to have the effect of requiring that operators charge for calls based on the costs of carrying such calls. 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. As of the date of this Annual Report, the MoCI is still in the process of preparing regulations for the adjustment of interconnection arrangements, which preparations include: determining the amount of interconnection fees, cost accounting standards, reference interconnection offer (RIO) and interconnection dispute resolutions, and has not issued such regulations.

Interconnection with Fixed line Network

The Government’s National Fundamental Technical Plan set forth in Decree 4 of 2000, as amended by Decree 28 of 2004, sets out the technical requirements, routing plans and numbering 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. As of the date of this Annual Report, the fees for interconnection within TELKOM’s fixed line network are set forth in Decree No. 506/1997, Decree No. 46/1998, Decree No. 37/1999 and Decree No. 30/2000.

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 of local calls, the operator of the network on which the calls terminate receives an agreed amount per minute. In addition, with respect to interconnection for domestic 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 an agreed amount per minute.

Fixed Wireless Interconnection. Fixed wireless networks may interconnect to TELKOM’s fixed line network at TELKOM’s gateway. As of the date of this Annual Report, other than TELKOM and Indosat, PT Bakrie Telecom (formerly Ratelindo) also operates a fixed wireless network in Indonesia. Local calls between TELKOM’s fixed line network and PT Bakrie Telecom’s network are operated on a “sender-keeps-all” basis. For DLD calls that originate on PT Bakrie Telecom’s network and terminate on 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. Since April 1, 2005, the interconnection scheme for interconnection has been changed to:

| • | Local calls. The operator of the network on which the calls
terminate receives an agreed amount per minute. |
| --- | --- |
| • | DLD calls that originate on TELKOM’s fixed line network.
TELKOM shall pay certain amount per minute to PT Bakrie Telecom. |

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 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.

International Interconnection

Interconnection on TELKOM’s domestic fixed line network for international calls consists of access charges, usage charges and charges for Universal Service Obligations.

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.

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 March 11, 2004, the MoC issued Decree No. 31/2004, which stated that interconnection charges for VoIP would follow the interconnection charges regulation which are determined by the MoC. As of the date of this Annual Report, the MoCI, to which telecommunications regulatory responsibility was transferred in February 2005, has not yet determined what the new VoIP interconnection charges will be. Until such time as the new charges are fixed, TELKOM will continue to receive connection fees per minute for calls that originate, terminate or transit on TELKOM’s fixed line network.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of TELKOM for the three years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 included elsewhere in this Annual Report. These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with Indonesian GAAP, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. See Note 56 to the consolidated financial statements for our reconciliation to U.S. GAAP.

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. As of December 31, 2004, TELKOM had approximately 9.9 million fixed lines in service and Telkomsel had approximately 16.3 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.

2002

TELKOM believes that the factors that have materially affected TELKOM, as well as the environment in which it operates, during 2002 were:

| • | the general economic situation in Indonesia, particularly
continued high interest rates during 2002; |
| --- | --- |
| • | an increase in fixed line tariffs by 15%; |
| • | the growth in the Indonesian mobile cellular market and the
corresponding increase in Telkomsel’s revenues; |
| • | the growth in TELKOM’s revenues from interconnection, data
and Internet services; |
| • | the sale of a 12.72% equity interest in Telkomsel to SingTel; |
| • | the acquisition and subsequent consolidation of Pramindo
(KSO I) in August 2002; and |
| • | the implementation of an early retirement program. |

2003

TELKOM believes that its operating results in 2003 were significantly affected by:

• the increase in TELKOM’s interconnection revenues;
• the continued growth of the Indonesian mobile cellular market
and the corresponding increase in Telkomsel’s revenues;
• the growth in TELKOM’s revenues from interconnection, data
and Internet services;
• the acquisition and subsequent consolidation of AriaWest
(KSO III) in July 2003;
• the continuation of TELKOM’s early retirement program; and

77 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

• increased depreciation expense and operations and maintenance expenses associated with Telkomsel’s expansion of its network capacity.

2004

Telkom believes that its operating results in 2004 were significantly affected by:

| • | the general economic situation in Indonesia, particularly the
devaluation of the Rupiah during 2004; |
| --- | --- |
| • | an increase in fixed line tariffs by 9%; |
| • | increased competition among cellular operators, particularly in
the prepaid market; |
| • | the growth in the Indonesian cellular market and the
corresponding increase in Telkomsel’s revenues; |
| • | the growth in TELKOM’s revenues from interconnection, data
and Internet services; |
| • | the amendment of KSO agreement with MGTI on January 20,
2004 which resulted in TELKOM obtaining the legal right to
control financial and operating decisions of KSO IV, and
subsequent consolidation of KSO IV; |
| • | the continuation of TELKOM’s early retirement program; and |
| • | increased depreciation expense and operations and maintenance
expenses associated with Telkomsel’s expansion of its
network capacity and an increase in TELKOM’s fixed assets
due to TELKOM’s aggressive deployment of fixed wireless. |

TELKOM’s operating results, discussed below under “Results of Operations”, for the three-year period from 2002 through 2004 reflected significant growth in operating revenues, particularly in the fixed line, cellular, interconnection and data and Internet businesses. The growth in operating revenues in the fixed line business reflected both increased fixed lines in service in the non-KSO and KSO regions and the acquisition and subsequent consolidation of KSO IV in January 2004, AriaWest (KSO III) in July 2003 and Pramindo (KSO I) in August 2002. The growth of revenues in the cellular business primarily reflected growth in the number of Telkomsel’s cellular subscribers. The growth of revenues in data and Internet services primarily reflected the increase in SMS traffic from Telkomsel subscribers and increased usage of TELKOM’s multimedia services. Interconnection revenues have also increased as a result of greater interconnection charges received from mobile cellular operators and from the launch of its international long-distance services (TIC-007) in June 2004, which is classified under interconnection revenue. KSO revenues have declined in the three-year period from 2002 through 2004 due to the acquisitions of KSO I, III and IV discussed above.

TELKOM’s operating results for the three-year period from 2002 to 2004 also reflected significant growth in operating expenses. From 2002 to 2003, the growth in operating expenses was primarily driven by an increase in depreciation expense, operations, maintenance and telecommunications services expenses and general and administrative expenses. The increase in depreciation expense and operations, maintenance and telecommunications services expenses 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 Pramindo, as well as the increase in TELKOM’s provisions for doubtful accounts in 2003. From 2003 to 2004, the growth of operating expenses was primarily driven by an increase in depreciation expense, personnel expenses and operations, maintenance and telecommunications services expenses. The increase in depreciation expense and operations, maintenance and telecommunications services expenses in 2004 was principally due to expenses arising from Telkomsel’s expansion of its network capacity and an increase in TELKOM’s fixed assets due to its deployment of fixed wireless. Personnel expenses grew in 2004 primarily due to a significant increase in net periodic

pension cost and increases in salaries and related benefits and vacation pay, incentives and other benefits.

TELKOM had a significant gain and loss charged to other income (charges) during the three-year period from 2002 through 2004. In 2002, TELKOM recorded a gain on sale of long-term investment of Rp.3,196.4 billion arising from the sale of a 12.72% shareholding in Telkomsel to SingTel Mobile. In 2004, TELKOM recognized loss on foreign exchange of Rp.1,220.8 billion due to the devaluation of the Rupiah during 2004, primarily related to foreign exchange loss on its US Dollar borrowings.

Economic Situation in Indonesia

TELKOM was significantly affected by a severe economic crisis that Indonesia and other Asian countries experienced beginning in the second half of 1997. As a result of the Asian financial crisis, the Rupiah depreciated significantly and experienced periods of significant volatility. 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 a low of approximately Rp.15,000 per US Dollar. In the three-year period from 2002 through 2004, the Rupiah experienced the following (based on Bank Indonesia’s middle exchange rate):

| • | in 2002, an appreciation from Rp.10,400 per US Dollar at
December 31, 2001 to Rp.8,940 per US Dollar at
December 31, 2002; |
| --- | --- |
| • | in 2003, an appreciation from Rp.8,940 per US Dollar at
December 31, 2002 to Rp.8,465 per US Dollar at
December 31, 2003; |
| • | in 2004, a depreciation from Rp.8,465 per US Dollar at
December 31, 2003 to Rp.9,290 per US Dollar at
December 31, 2004; |

As of July 13, 2005, Bank Indonesia’s middle exchange rate was Rp.9,750 per US$1.00.

Indonesia also experienced higher rates of inflation and interest rates from the second half of 1997 through 2002. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the annual inflation rate was 10.03%, 5.1% and 6.4%, respectively. The interest rate on a one-month Bank Indonesia Certificate (SBI) as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 was 12.9%, 8.3% and 7.4%, respectively. See Item 3. “Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks relating to Indonesia — Declines or volatility in Indonesia’s currency exchange rates can have a material adverse impact on business activity in Indonesia” and Item 3. “Key Information — A. Selected Financial Data — Exchange Rate Information.”

Limited Increases in Tariffs

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 inflation rate (referred to by the Government as the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”)) typically for the last two years, 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, as recommended by 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, on April 1, 2004, TELKOM adjusted its fixed line tariffs and fixed wireless tariffs, with local charges increasing by 28.2%, DLD tariffs decreasing by an average of 10.6% and monthly subscription charges increasing by varying amounts from 12.1% to 25.1%, depending on the type of subscription. The Government did not carry out its plan to further increase fixed line tariffs to reach the 45.49% average increase announced in January 2002 by January 2005. In an announcement by the MoCI on April 1, 2005 regarding access codes, the MoCI indicated that there would be another rebalancing of tariffs in the future. However, there has been no indication by the MoCI when the Government intends to carry out the plan.

Growth of Indonesian Cellular Market and Increase in Telkomsel’s revenues

The Indonesian cellular market has increased significantly in recent years. Telkomsel, a subsidiary of TELKOM engaged in the cellular telephone business, experienced a 32.3% growth in net operating revenues from 2003 to 2004, due to a 69.8% growth in its total number of cellular subscribers, as a result of the increased usage of mobile cellular phones in Indonesia and a corresponding increase in revenues from air time charges. Telkomsel experienced a 47.3% growth in net operating revenues from 2002 to 2003, due to a 60% growth in its total number of cellular subscribers. Telkomsel’s revenues from cellular accounted for approximately 30.7% of TELKOM’s consolidated total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to 31.2% for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 29.9% for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Due to the growth in the cellular market, competition has increased among cellular operators, particularly in the prepaid market. These cellular operators also compete to a lesser extent with fixed wireless operators, with fixed wireless lines in service increasing significantly in 2004.

Increase in TELKOM’s interconnection revenues

TELKOM’s interconnection revenues accounted for approximately 18.2% of TELKOM’s consolidated operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to 15.3% for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 13.6% for the year ended December 31, 2002. From 2003 to 2004, the 48.7% increase in interconnection revenues was primarily due to a 36.9% increase in interconnection charges paid to TELKOM by mobile cellular operators to Rp.5,351.6 billion and a 248.3% increase in interconnection revenue from international calls to Rp.641.2 billion. This international interconnection revenue included international long-distance revenue from TELKOM’s IDD service (TIC-007) since the launch in June 2004. From 2002 to 2003, the increase in interconnection revenues was primarily due to a 74.4% increase in interconnection charges paid to TELKOM by mobile cellular operators to Rp.3,908.3 billion, partially offset by a 52.7% decrease in interconnection revenue from international calls to Rp.184.1 billion.

Increase in TELKOM’s data and Internet revenues

Data and Internet revenues accounted for approximately 14.2% of TELKOM’s consolidated operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to 11.5% for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 7.5% for the year ended December 31, 2002. TELKOM’s revenues from its data and Internet services increased by 54.7% from 2003 to 2004 and by 100.3% from 2002 to 2003. The increase in data and Internet revenues in 2004 was primarily due to a 61.6% increase in revenues generated from SMS services and a 64.4% increase in revenues from multimedia services. The increase in 2003 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.

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 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.

Acquisition and Consolidation of KSO IV, III and I

TELKOM’s operating revenues and expenses for the three-year period from 2002 through 2004 have been affected by the acquisition and subsequent consolidation of KSO IV in January 2004 and the acquisition and subsequent consolidation of AriaWest (KSO III) in July 2003 and Pramindo (KSO I) in August 2002. Prior to consolidation of KSO IV, III and I, TELKOM received revenues from these KSO regions in the form of guaranteed minimum monthly payments and additional monthly revenue sharing payments from the revenues of the KSO regions after payment of the minimum monthly payments and certain operating expenses. TELKOM was not directly allocated any of the operating expenses for the KSO regions. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Joint Operation Scheme.” Upon consolidation, TELKOM no longer receives the minimum monthly payments and revenue sharing payments and instead consolidates all of the revenues and expenses of such KSO regions on its books. As a result, KSO revenues have declined in the three-year period from 2002 through 2004 due to the acquisitions of KSO I, III and IV discussed above. Following these acquisitions, KSO VII is the only remaining KSO region under the joint operation scheme.

In connection with the acquisition of KSO IV in January 2004, TELKOM recognized the full amount of the liability for the purchase price of approximately US$390.7 million or equivalent to Rp.3,285.4 billion, which represents the present value of fixed monthly payments (totaling US$517.1 million) to be paid to MGTI (the investor in KSO IV) beginning in February 2004 through December 2010 using a discount rate of 8.3% plus direct costs of the business combination. The allocation of the acquisition cost consisted of Rp.2,377.1 billion for property, plant and equipment and Rp.908.2 million for intangible assets. The allocation of the acquisition cost was based on an independent appraisal of fair values. Intangible assets identified from this acquisition represent the right to operate the business in the KSO area and the amount is being amortized over the remaining term of the KSO agreement of 6.9 years. As of December 31, 2004, the remaining monthly payments to be made to MGTI, before unamortized discount, amounted to US$462.9 million (Rp.4,305.1 billion) and is presented in TELKOM’s balance sheet as “Liabilities of Business Acquisitions.”

Early Retirement Program

In 2001, TELKOM implemented a voluntary early retirement program for certain eligible employees. TELKOM continued its voluntary early retirement program during 2002, 2003 and 2004 and made lump-sum payments to participating employees based on years of service, age and salary. A total of 7,269 employees retired under the program during the three-year period from 2002-2004, with 2,288 retiring in 2002, 4,177 retiring in 2003 and 804 retiring in 2004. TELKOM accrued Rp.717.3 billion, Rp.355.7 billion and Rp.243.5 billion (US$26.2 million) in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, for costs associated with its early retirement program.

Depreciation Expense and Operations and Maintenance Expense

TELKOM’s depreciation expense and operations and maintenance expense has increased significantly during the three-year period from 2002 through 2004. These increases have primarily related to Telkomsel’s expansion of its network capacity due to the growth in its subscriber base and an increase

Table of Contents

in TELKOM’s fixed assets due to deployment of fixed wireless. Telkomsel’s subscriber base has increased from 6,010,772 subscribers as of December 31, 2002 to 9,588,807 subscribers as of December 31, 2003 and to 16,290,508 subscribers as of December 31, 2004. In December 2002, TELKOM introduced new CDMA-based fixed wireless phone service, which is marketed under the brand name TELKOMFlexi for both fixed and portable handsets. TELKOM’s subscribers for this fixed wireless service grew from 264,285 subscribers as of December 31, 2003 to 1,429,368 subscribers as of December 31, 2004. In particular, TELKOM began an aggressive deployment of fixed wireless in KSO III and KSO IV following TELKOM’s acquisitions of KSO III in July 2003 and KSO IV in January 2004.

Restatement of Information Previously Reported

Subsequent to the filing of the consolidated financial statements in TELKOM’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F and Amendment No. 1 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A that was filed with the SEC on June 11, 2003, TELKOM made certain adjustments to the Indonesian GAAP and the related reconciliation with U.S. GAAP amounts previously disclosed for 2002 and prior years which were required to be made pursuant to Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. These adjustments were set forth in Amendment No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A that was filed with the SEC on February 9, 2004 under the heading “Item 5. Restatement of Information Previously Reported.” Please see “Item 15. Controls and Procedures — Restatement of Information Previously Reported.”

Reclassifications

TELKOM also described in Amendment No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A the reclassification of certain accounts to conform with Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP presentation requirements, but these reclassifications did not affect TELKOM’s consolidated net income for the year ended 2002. Please see “Item 15. Controls and Procedures — Reclassifications.”

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.

TELKOM consolidated AriaWest’s financial statements into its 2003 financial statements from July 31, 2003, the date of acquisition of 100% equity interest in AriaWest.

TELKOM consolidated the revenues and expenses of KSO IV from February 2004 after it obtained the legal right to control financial and operating decisions of KSO IV on January 20, 2004.

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 local and domestic long-distance service, Indosat, a competitor of TELKOM, received its commercial license to provide domestic long-distance services on May 13, 2004 and began offering fixed wireless services in August 2004. TELKOM believes Indosat will enter the domestic long-distance market in the future. 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 markets. With regard to IDD fixed line services,

83 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

TELKOM began offering these services to its customers on June 7, 2004 under the “TIC 007” brand. TELKOM currently recognizes these international long-distance revenues as interconnection revenues. 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 results 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 charges are set by individual operators. See Item 5. “Operating Results — A. Overview — Limited Increases in Tariffs.”

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.

Fixed line telephone revenues for the three years 2002 through 2004 are set out below, with each item also expressed as a percentage of operating revenues:

Cellular Telephone Revenues

The main component of cellular telephone revenues is air time charges. Cellular telephone revenues also include monthly subscription charges, connection fee charges and features.

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. 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

Interconnection Revenues

The components of interconnection revenues are revenues from cellular interconnection, international interconnection and other interconnection. 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 and a retail fee charged to TELKOM’s subscribers for an outgoing call. This international interconnection revenue included international long-distance revenue from TELKOM’s IDD service (TIC-007) since the launch in June 2004.

85 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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 paid to other operators. Interconnection revenues are typically accrued initially and settled among operators monthly and can fluctuate significantly as a result of adjustments among operators to accrued amounts at the time of settlement. On March 11, 2004, the MoC issued a decree stating that cost-based interconnection will commence beginning January 1, 2005. However, as of the date of this annual report, the MoCI, to which telecommunications regulatory responsibility was transferred in February 2005, has not issued implementing regulations. 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.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense relates to TELKOM’s property, plant and equipment. TELKOM depreciates its property, plant and equipment, except land, using the straight-line method, based on the useful lives of the assets, commencing in the month such assets were placed into service. See Notes 2k, 2l, 2m, 11 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with Indonesian GAAP, TELKOM capitalizes interest costs and foreign exchange gains or losses for assets under construction and depreciates these amounts over the useful lives of the assets to which they relate. In 2002, 2003 and 2004, TELKOM capitalized interest costs for assets under construction of Rp.20.1 billion, Rp.22.9 billion and Rp.57.7 billion (US$6.2 million), respectively.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2004 compared to year ended December 31, 2003

Operating Revenues.

Total operating revenues increased by Rp.6,831.8 billion, or 25.2%, from Rp.27,116.0 billion in 2003 to Rp.33,947.8 billion in 2004. Operating revenues increased in 2004 for fixed lines, cellular, interconnection, network, data and Internet, revenue-sharing arrangements and other telecommunications services. KSO revenues decreased from 2003 to 2004.

Fixed Lines Telephone Revenues.

Fixed lines revenues increased by Rp.1,748.1 billion, or 19.6%, from Rp.8,896.9 billion in 2003 to Rp.10,645.0 billion in 2004. The increase in fixed lines revenues was primarily due to increases in local and domestic long-distance revenues and monthly subscription charges in 2004. Local and domestic long-distance revenues increased by Rp.877.5 billion, or 13.4%, from Rp.6,561.8 billion in 2003 to Rp.7,439.3 billion in 2004. Monthly subscription charges increased by Rp.986.1 billion, or 50.6%, from Rp.1,948.8 billion in 2003 to Rp.2,934.9 billion in 2004.

The increases were primarily attributable to:

| • | The consolidation of KSO IV revenues following the acquisition
of KSO IV in January 2004, which contributed
Rp.969.2 billion (US$104.3 million) to the increase in
fixed lines revenues. |
| --- | --- |
| • | The 439.8% growth in the number of subscribers for fixed
wireless, from 264,787 subscribers as of December 31, 2003
to 1,429,368 subscribers as of December 31, 2004,
particularly the 454.2% growth in the number of lines in service
in the non-KSO regions, resulting from the introduction of
post-paid fixed wireless services only in the first quarter of
2003 and pre-paid fixed wireless service only in the third
quarter of 2003. |
| • | TELKOM’s increase in fixed line tariffs in 2004 by a
weighted average increase of 9%, with local charges increasing
28.2%, DLD tariffs decreasing by an average of 10% and monthly
subscription charges increasing by varying amounts from 12.1% to
25.1%. |

Cellular Telephone Revenues.

Cellular telephone revenues increased by Rp.1,962.5 billion, or 23.2%, from Rp.8,458.8 billion in 2003 to Rp.10,421.3 billion in 2004. The increase in cellular telephone revenues was primarily due to an increase in air time charges, partially offset by a decrease in monthly subscription charges and connection fee charges. Air time charges increased by Rp.2,147.8 billion, or 28.0%, from Rp.7,677.9 billion in 2003 to Rp.9,825.7 billion in 2004. Monthly subscription charges decreased by Rp.132.0 billion, or 22.7%, from Rp.580.5 billion in 2003 to Rp.448.5 billion in 2004 due to price competition among cellular operators and the increase in prepaid subscribers as discussed below.

Table of Contents

Connection fee charges decreased by Rp.138.3 billion, or 71.3%, from Rp.194.1 billion in 2003 to Rp.55.8 billion in 2004 due to price competition among cellular operators.

The increase in cellular telephone revenues was primarily attributable to 69.9% growth in Telkomsel’s total cellular subscribers, from 9,588,807 subscribers as of December 31, 2003 to 16,290,508 subscribers as of December 31, 2004. This increase was caused by a 87.3% growth in net-additional subscribers from 3,578,035 subscribers as of December 31, 2003 to 6,701,701 subscribers as of December 31, 2004. In 2004, Telkomsel marketed its new Kartu As prepaid cards with lower denominations than Telkomsel’s other prepaid cards at the time. The Kartu As prepaid cards have a flat rate, which generally is lower than Telkomsel’s other prepaid cards with rates that vary by time of day. Postpaid subscribers grew by 31.8% to 1,327,549 subscribers and prepaid subscribers grew by 74.4% to 14,962,959 subscribers, in each case as of December 31, 2004.

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 89.5% as of December 31, 2003 to 91.9% as of December 31, 2004. As a result of the change in the subscriber mix, with the increased number of prepaid subscribers as a percentage of total subscribers, blended monthly ARPU decreased from approximately Rp.123,000 in 2003 to approximately Rp.102,000 in 2004. Despite the decrease in overall ARPU for voice, the SMS/non-voice ARPU for postpaid increased (approximately 37% growth average per month) due to the increase in premium SMS, mobile banking transactions, and average number of SMS per subscribers per month.

Interconnection Revenues.

Net interconnection revenues increased by Rp.2,025.9 billion, or 48.7%, from Rp.4,162.1 billion in 2003 to Rp.6,188.0 billion in 2004. 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). Interconnection revenue included international long-distance revenue from TELKOM’s IDD service (TIC-007) since the launch in June 2004.

Cellular interconnection revenues increased by Rp.1,443.3 billion, or 36.9%, from Rp.3,908.3 billion in 2003 to Rp.5,351.6 billion in 2004, primarily due to the growth of Telkomsel’s cellular subscribers. International interconnection revenues increased by Rp.457.1 billion, or 248.3%, from Rp.184.1 billion in 2003 to Rp.641.2 billion in 2004, primarily due to an increase in incoming and outgoing IDD traffic. IDD traffic has increased significantly primarily due to the launch of TELKOM’s IDD service in June 2004. Other interconnection revenues increased by Rp.125.5 billion, or 180.1%, from Rp.69.7 billion in 2003 to Rp.195.2 billion in 2004, primarily due to interconnection with Indosat’s local fixed wireless services which was launched in 2004.

TELKOM’s interconnection revenues accounted for approximately 18.2% of TELKOM’s consolidated operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to 15.3% for the year ended December 31, 2003.

KSO Revenues (Joint Operation Scheme Revenues).

KSO revenues decreased by Rp.829.7 billion, or 55.8%, from Rp.1,486.3 billion in 2003 to Rp.656.6 billion in 2004. The decrease in KSO revenues was primarily due to a significant decrease in MTR and DTR in 2004. MTR decreased by Rp.603.9 billion, or 67.1%, from Rp.899.9 billion in 2003 to Rp.296.0 billion in 2004. DTR decreased by Rp.233.5 billion, or 40.1%, from Rp.583.0 billion in 2003 to Rp.349.5 billion in 2004. Amortization of unearned initial payments increased slightly by Rp.7.7 billion, or 226.5%, from Rp.3.4 billion in 2003 to Rp.11.1 billion in 2004 due to the recognition in 2004 of the remaining portion of unearned initial payments for KSO IV following the acquisition of KSO IV.

91 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

The decrease in KSO revenues was attributable to the acquisition of KSO IV in 2004 and primarily reflected TELKOM’s share in distributable KSO IV revenues and TELKOM’s right to receive MTR that were no longer received by TELKOM following the acquisition of KSO IV. All KSO IV revenues have been consolidated to TELKOM under fixed lines revenues since February 1, 2004.

As a result of the acquisition of operational control of KSO IV, fixed lines in service in the KSO regions decreased 34.0% from 1,449,066 lines as of December 31, 2003 to 956,806 lines as of December 31, 2004. Following this acquisition, KSO VII is the only remaining KSO region under the joint operation scheme.

Data and Internet Revenues.

Data and Internet revenues increased by Rp.1,700.2 billion, or 54.7%, from Rp.3,108.6 billion in 2003 to Rp.4,808.8 billion in 2004. The increase in data and Internet revenues was primarily due to significant increases in SMS revenues and multimedia revenues and a smaller increase in ISDN revenues, partially offset by a slight decrease in VoIP revenues. SMS revenues increased by Rp.1,357.6 billion, or 61.6%, from Rp.2,205.1 billion in 2003 to Rp.3,562.7 billion in 2004 mainly attributed to the significant growth in SMS traffic from Telkomsel subscribers. Multimedia revenues increased by Rp.318.6 billion, or 64.4%, from Rp.494.7 billion in 2003 to Rp.813.3 billion in 2004 due to increased usage of the dial-up Internet in Indonesia and the general growth in the data communications market in Indonesia including use of frame relay, VPN and international leased line services. ISDN revenues increased by Rp.33.4 billion, or 41.5%, from Rp.80.5 billion in 2003 to Rp.113.9 billion in 2004 due to an increase in monthly and usage charges for one of its ISDN services, following the tariff rebalancing. VoIP revenues decreased by Rp.9.4 billion, or 2.9%, from Rp.328.3 billion in 2003 to Rp.318.9 billion in 2004 due to the decrease in traffic of VoIP.

Network Revenues.

Network revenues increased by Rp.136.4 billion, or 26.3%, from Rp.517.9 billion in 2003 to Rp.654.3 billion in 2004. A decrease in satellite revenues was offset by an increase in leased line revenues. Satellite transponder revenues decreased by Rp.60.0 billion, or 22.1%, from Rp.270.9 billion in 2003 to Rp.210.9 billion in 2004 primarily due to a price decrease made in 2004 to reflect market conditions. Leased lines revenues increased by Rp.196.4 billion, or 79.5%, from Rp.247.0 billion in 2003 to Rp.443.4 billion in 2004 as a result of an increase in the number of telecommunications operators, particularly cellular operators due to significant increases in cellular subscribers.

Revenues under Revenue-Sharing Arrangements (“PBHs”).

Revenues under revenue-sharing arrangements increased by Rp.22.1 billion, or 8.6%, from Rp.258.5 billion in 2003 to Rp.280.6 billion in 2004. The increase in revenue under revenue-sharing arrangements was due to an increase in amortization of unearned income under revenue-sharing arrangements, partially offset by a slight decrease in net share in revenue earned under revenue-sharing arrangements. Amortization of unearned income under revenue-sharing arrangements increased by Rp.23.6 billion, or 40.4%, from Rp.58.4 billion in 2003 to Rp.82.0 billion in 2004 due to amortization of unearned income from TELKOM’s new revenue-sharing arrangement projects. Net share in revenue earned under revenue-sharing arrangements decreased by Rp.1.5 billion, or 0.8%, from Rp.200.1 billion in 2003 to Rp.198.6 billion in 2004 due to the expiration of some of the revenue-sharing arrangement contracts. Although the total number of revenue-sharing arrangements increased from 27 contracts as of December 31, 2003 to 79 contracts as of December 31, 2004, many of these new revenue-sharing arrangements did not generate significant pulse (and corresponding revenue to TELKOM) in 2004 due to the respective assets being placed into service during the fourth quarter of 2004.

Other Telecommunications Services Revenues.

Other telecommunications services revenues increased by Rp.66.3 billion, or 29.2%, from Rp.226.9 billion in 2003 to Rp.293.2 billion in 2004. The increase in revenue from other telecommunications services was primarily due to an increase in revenue from telephone directory services resulting from an increase in advertising and an increase in revenue from cable television services resulting from increased marketing.

Operating Expenses.

Total operating expenses increased by Rp.4,880.7 billion, or 32.2%, from Rp.15,140.0 billion in 2003 to Rp.20,020.7 billion in 2004. The increase in total operating expenses was attributable to substantial increases in depreciation, operations, maintenance and telecommunications services expenses and personnel expenses and smaller increases in general and administrative expenses and marketing expenses.

Personnel Expenses.

Personnel expenses increased by Rp.1,130.7 billion, or 25.5%, from Rp.4,440.1 billion in 2003 to Rp.5,570.8 billion in 2004. The main contributor to the increase was KSO IV personnel cost following Telkom’s acquisition of KSO IV. TELKOM incorporated 2,802 employees from KSO IV in 2004. The increase in employees from KSO IV was partially offset by a decrease of 804 employees that participated in TELKOM’s early retirement program in 2004. In addition, in April 2004 TELKOM increased the basic salary, basic allowance and position allowance of its employees. These reasons led to an increase in recurring employee expenses, as follows:

| • | salaries and related benefits increased by
Rp.222.7 billion, or 14.2%, from Rp.1,574.2 billion in
2003 to Rp.1,796.9 billion in 2004; and |
| --- | --- |
| • | vacation pay, incentives and other benefits increased by
Rp.340.0 billion, or 41.7%, from Rp.816.1 billion in
2003 to Rp.1,156.1 billion in 2004. |

In addition, net periodic pension cost increased by Rp.843.8 billion, or 441.8%, from Rp.191.0 in 2003 to Rp.1,034.8 billion in 2004, primarily due to the recognition of actuarial loss of Rp.417.0 billion in 2004 compared to the recognition of actuarial gain of Rp.205.0 billion in 2003.

These increases offset declines in early retirements costs and net periodic post-retirement benefit cost. Early retirements costs decreased by Rp.112.2 billion, or 31.5%, from Rp.355.7 billion in 2003 to Rp.243.5 billion in 2004, due to a decline in the number of employees retiring under TELKOM’s early retirement program. Net periodic post-retirement benefit cost declined by Rp.149.2 billion, or 23.3%, from Rp.641.4 billion in 2003 to Rp.492.2 billion in 2004, due to decreases in service cost and recognized actuarial loss.

Other components of personnel expenses did not contribute significantly to operating expenses in 2004.

Depreciation Expense.

Depreciation expense increased by Rp.1,659.0 billion, or 34.7%, from Rp.4,779.5 billion in 2003 to Rp.6,438.5 billion in 2004. The increase in depreciation expenses was primarily due to significant increases in depreciation expense for both TELKOM and Telkomsel. TELKOM’s increase in depreciation expenses reflected continued capital expenditures in TELKOM’s transmission network and backbone, as well as its access network, particularly for fixed wireless. Telkomsel’s increase in depreciation expense reflected continued capital expenditures for Telkomsel’s network infrastructure.

Operations, Maintenance and Telecommunications Services Expenses.

Operations, maintenance and telecommunications services expenses increased by Rp.1,190.9 billion, or 35.7%, from Rp.3,338.7 billion in 2003 to Rp.4,529.6 billion in 2004. The increase in operations, maintenance and telecommunications services expenses was mainly attributable to:

| • | an increase in operations and maintenance expenses by
Rp.653.4 billion to Rp.2,398.2 billion, an increase of
37.5%, due to an increase in Telkomsel’s operations and
maintenance expenses arising from the growth in the
Telkomsel’s overall capacity from 10.8 million
subscribers as of December 31, 2003 to 17.9 million
subscribers as of December 31, 2004. The number of
Telkomsel’s BTSs grew by 28.7% from 4,820 units in
2003 to 6,205 units in 2004. Telkomsel also increased the
number of its transmitting and receiving stations and switching
and Intelligent Network equipment; |
| --- | --- |
| • | cost of phone cards increased by Rp.185.4 billion to
Rp.366.7 billion in 2004, an increase of 102.3%, due to
increases in expenses for TELKOM and Telkomsel prepaid cards.
TELKOM’s prepaid card expenses included cost of fixed
wireless cards (staterpack/voucher/replacement) of
Rp.32.9 billion that contributed Rp.26.5 billion to
the increase in cost of phone cards after TELKOM began its
TELKOMFlexi prepaid program in September 2003. Telkomsel’s
prepaid card expenses of Rp.316.5 billion contributed
Rp.143.6 billion to the increase in cost of phone cards due
to a substantial increase in subscribers, particularly prepaid
subscribers; |
| • | total radio frequency usage charges increased by
Rp.120.9 billion to Rp.492.6 billion in 2004, an
increase of 32.5%, primarily due to a 22.0% increase in
frequency usage charges by Telkomsel of Rp.77.8 billion
from Rp.353.6 billion in 2003 to Rp.431.4 billion in
2004, in line with the 28.7% increase in the number of BTSs from
4,820 in 2003 to 6,205 in 2004; |
| • | electricity, gas and water charges increased by
Rp.85.3 billion, or 28.4%, from Rp 300.4 billion in
2003 to Rp 385.7 billion in 2004, reflecting primarily the
consolidation of the gas electricity and water charges of
KSO IV, as well as an increase in electricity and gas rates
in 2004 compared to 2003; and |
| • | total concession fees increased by Rp.75.7 billion to
Rp.314.7 billion in 2004, an increase of 31.7%, which is in
line with the increase in operating revenues. |

Other components of operations, maintenance and telecommunications services expenses did not contribute significantly to operating expenses in 2004.

General and Administrative Expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased by Rp.521.0 billion, or 25.1%, from Rp.2,078.8 billion in 2003 to Rp.2,599.8 billion in 2004. In particular, in 2004:

| • | amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets increased
by Rp.141.6 billion to Rp.872.3 billion, or 19.4%,

expenses by Rp.10.0 billion. |

Other components of general and administrative expenses did not contribute significantly to operating expenses in 2004.

Marketing Expenses.

Marketing expenses increased by Rp.379.0 billion, or 75.4%, from Rp.502.9 billion in 2003 to Rp.881.9 billion in 2004. The increase in marketing expenses was primarily due to TELKOM’s marketing campaign for its new services, primarily for TELKOMFLexi and Telkom’s IDD service (TIC-007) and an increase in Telkomsel’s marketing expenses (Rp.174.1 billion or 95.8%), primarily for sales support and advertising and promotion programs due to significant competition in the cellular market.

Operating Income and Operating Margin

As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by Rp.1,951.2 billion, or 16.3%, from Rp.11,975.9 billion in 2003 to Rp.13,927.1 billion in 2004. TELKOM’s operating margin decreased from 44.2% in 2003 to 41.0% in 2004 due to the higher growth of operating expenses (32.2%) compared to the growth of operating revenues (25.2%).

Other Income (Charges)

Other charges increased by Rp.1,314.4 billion, or 250.8%, from Rp.524.1 billion in 2003 to Rp.1,838.5 billion in 2004. The increase in other charges was primarily due to a significant loss on foreign exchange of Rp.1,220.8 billion in 2004 compared to a gain on foreign exchange of Rp.126.1 billion in 2003.

Interest Income.

Interest income decreased by Rp.48.1 billion, or 13.1%, from Rp.366.0 billion in 2003 to Rp.317.9 billion in 2004, primarily due to the decrease in floating interest rates for both Rupiah and U.S. Dollar-denominated deposits and the decrease in average balance of TELKOM’s time deposits from Rp.5,037.8 billion in 2003 to Rp.4,471.4 billion in 2004. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

Interest Expense.

Interest expense decreased by Rp.113.3 billion, or 8.2%, from Rp.1,383.4 billion in 2003 to Rp.1,270.1 billion in 2004, reflecting primarily the decrease in floating interest rates for TELKOM’s Rupiah and U.S. Dollar-denominated debt in 2004.

Gain (Loss) on Foreign Exchange-net.

Gain (loss) on foreign exchange-net decreased by Rp.1,346.9 billion from a net gain of Rp.126.1 billion in 2003 to a net loss of Rp.1,220.8 billion in 2004, primarily due to depreciation of the Rupiah from Rp.8,440 to US$1.00 in December 2003 to Rp.9,290 to US$1.00 in December 2004, where a

loss of Rp.342.1 billion resulted from liabilities of business acquisition of KSO IV due to the acquisition cost being denominated in US dollars.

Others (Net).

Others (net) decreased by Rp.33.2 billion, from other income (net) of Rp.364.3 billion in 2003 to other income (net) of Rp.331.1 billion in 2004. In 2004, the significant other income (net) included income from fines from late-paying subscribers of Rp.280.3 billion.

Other components of Others (Net) did not contribute significantly to Other Income (Charges) in 2004.

Income Before Tax and Pre-Tax Margin

As a result of the foregoing, income before tax increased by Rp.636.8 billion, or 5.6%, from Rp.11,451.8 billion in 2003 to Rp.12,088.6 billion in 2004. Pre-tax margin decreased from 42.2% in 2003 to 35.6% in 2004.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased by Rp.142.0 billion, or 3.7%, from Rp.3,861.1 billion in 2003 to Rp.4,003.1 billion in 2004. The effective tax rate slightly decreased from 33.7% of income before tax in 2003 to 33.1% of income before tax in 2004.

Minority Interest in Net Income of Subsidiaries

Minority interest in the net income of subsidiaries increased by Rp.452.8 billion, or 30.1%, from Rp.1,503.5 billion in 2003 to Rp.1,956.3 billion in 2004. The increase was primarily due to the significant increase in the net income of Telkomsel for 2004.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by Rp.42.0 billion, or 0.7%, from Rp.6,087.2 billion in 2003 to Rp.6,129.2 billion in 2004. TELKOM’s net income margin decreased from 22.4% in 2003 to 18.1% in 2004. The higher net income resulted in an increase in basic earnings per share from Rp.302.0 in 2003 (after restatement to reflect a two-for-one stock split as resolved in the AGMS on July 30, 2004) to Rp.304.0 in 2004.

Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased by Rp.2,948.4 billion, or 17.0%, from Rp.17,312.9 billion in 2003 to Rp.20,261.3 billion in 2004. The increase in total shareholders’ equity was primarily due to the increase in retained earnings from net income for the year 2004 of Rp.6,129.2 billion, partially offset by TELKOM’s cash dividends declared of Rp.3,187.0 billion (comprising cash dividends for 2003 of Rp.3,043.6 billion approved at the 2004 AGMS and interim cash dividends declared in December 2004 of Rp.143.4 billion).

Retained Earnings.

Appropriated and unappropriated retained earnings increased by Rp.2,942.2 billion, or 16.5%, from Rp.17,878.0 billion in 2003 to Rp.20,820.2 billion in 2004.

Operating Revenues.

Total operating revenues grew by Rp.6,313.2 billion, or 30.3%, from Rp.20,802.8 billion in 2002 to Rp.27,116.0 billion in 2003. Operating revenues increased for fixed lines, cellular, interconnection, data and Internet and network.

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 Lines Telephone Revenues.

Fixed lines 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 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 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 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 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 to the increase in
operating revenues. |

Revenues from phone cards for 2003 increased by Rp.5.1 billion to Rp.34.4 billion, 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, 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 in 2003. Air time charges for 2003 increased by Rp.2,224.3 billion to Rp.7,677.9 billion, an increase of 40.8% compared to 2002. Monthly subscription charges decreased by Rp.12.8 billion to Rp.580.5 billion, a decline of 2.2%. Connection fee charges increased by Rp.21.8 billion to Rp.194.1 billion, 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 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 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 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 in 2003, an increase of 2.7%.

Interconnection revenues involving international direct dialing IDD calls decreased by 52.7%, from Rp.389.3 billion in 2002 to Rp.184.1 billion 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 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 in 2003. DTR decreased by Rp.218.0 billion, or 27.2%, from Rp.801.0 billion in 2002 to Rp.583.0 billion in 2003. Amortization of unearned initial payments decreased by Rp.4.0 billion to Rp.3.4 billion 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 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, an increase of 121.1%. Multimedia revenues for 2003 increased by Rp.156.9 billion to Rp.494.7 billion, an increase of 46.5% compared to 2002. VoIP revenues for 2003 increased by Rp.176.1 billion to Rp.328.3 billion, an increase of 115.7% compared to 2002. ISDN revenues for 2003 increased by Rp.16.1 billion to Rp.80.5 billion, 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 in 2003. Satellite transponder revenues for 2003 increased by Rp.80.7 billion to Rp.270.9 billion, an increase of 42.4% compared to 2002, primarily due to an increase in the number of transponder leases. Leased lines revenues for 2003 increased by Rp.121.1 billion to Rp.247.0 billion, an increase of 96.2% compared to 2002, as a result of an increase in the number of customers who took advantage of the absence of any increase in TELKOM’s leased line tariffs.

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 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. Amortization of unearned income under revenue-sharing arrangements for 2003 increased by Rp.6.1 billion to Rp.58.4 billion, an increase of 11.7% compared to 2002.

Other Telecommunications Services Revenues.

Other telecommunications services revenues increased by Rp.5.9 billion, or 2.7%, from Rp.221.0 billion in 2002 to Rp.226.9 billion 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 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 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, an increase of 11.6%; |
| --- | --- |
| • | vacation pay, incentives and other benefits increased by
Rp.160.6 billion to Rp.816.1 billion, an increase of
24.5%; and |
| • | employee income tax increased by Rp.267.3 billion to
Rp.468.8 billion, 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 retirements costs, net periodic pension cost and medical expenses. Early retirements costs decreased by Rp.361.6 billion to Rp.355.7 billion, 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 cost declined by Rp.171.3 billion to Rp.191.0 billion, 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 in 2003, primarily as a result of TELKOM’s and Telkomsel’s depreciation expense increasing significantly, reflecting continued capital expenditures in TELKOM’s transmission network and backbone, as well as its access network, and Telkomsel’s BTSs and transmitting and receiving exchanges.

Operations, Maintenance and Telecommunications Services Expenses.

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 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, 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 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 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 in 2003, an increase of 45.8% due to an
increase in the revenues of TELKOM and Telkomsel; and |
| • | electricity, gas and water charges increased by 36.6%, from
Rp.219.9 billion in 2002 to Rp.300.4 billion 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 Expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased by Rp.932.5 billion, or 81.3%, from Rp.1,146.3 billion in 2002 to Rp.2,078.8 billion in 2003. In particular, in 2003:

| • | amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets increased
by Rp.542.7 billion to Rp.730.7 billion, or 288.7%,
mainly due to amortization of additional intangible assets
arising from the acquisition of AriaWest in July 2003 and
Pramindo in August 2002; |
| --- | --- |
| • | provision for doubtful accounts and inventory obsolescence
increased by Rp.295.3 billion to Rp.326.4 billion 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 expenses increased by Rp.49.0 billion to
Rp.273.8 billion, 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, 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, an increase of 43.1%, primarily due to
the consolidation of the KSO III Unit; and |
| • | professional fees decreased by Rp.103.4 billion, or 47.2%,
to Rp.115.6 billion in 2003, principally due to a decline
in financial advisory and legal fees in 2003. |

Marketing Expenses.

Marketing expenses grew by Rp.127.8 billion, or 34.1%, from Rp.375.1 billion in 2002 to Rp.502.9 billion 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 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 (Charges)

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 charge of Rp.524.1 billion 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. Gain on foreign exchange-net also declined from Rp.556.6 billion in 2002 to Rp.126.1 billion 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 in 2003, as well as an increase in Others-net to Rp.364.3 billion.

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 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 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 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 income of Rp.4.6 billion in 2002 to a net income of Rp.2.8 billion in 2003, primarily due to the decrease in equity in the net income of CSM and the decline in TELKOM’s ownership interest in Telesera and Metrosel.

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 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 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 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.398.8 in 2002 to Rp.302.0 in 2003. The basic earnings per share for 2003 and the previous years have been restated to reflect a two-for-one stock split as resolved in the AGMS on July 30, 2004.

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 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. In May 2003, TELKOM declared cash dividends of Rp.3,338.1 billion.

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 in 2003.

Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP

TELKOM prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Indonesian GAAP and prepares a reconciliation of consolidated 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 consolidated net income for the years ended and consolidated stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 in accordance with Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP:

2002 2003 2004 2004

Net income in accordance with
Indonesian GAAP 8,039.7 6,087.2 6,129.2 659.8

U.S. GAAP 13,910.9 16,284.7 19,570.9 2,106.7

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 56(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.531.0 billion higher in 2002, Rp.671.0 billion lower in 2003 and no change in 2004.

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.107.4 billion higher in 2002, Rp.76.8 billion higher in 2003 and Rp.1.6 billion higher in 2004.

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 of 12 months. To the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying

103 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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 minimum limit (i.e. 12-month requirement) 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.

As a result, on a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company’s consolidated income before tax would have been Rp.43.0 billion higher in 2002, Rp.39.1 billion higher in 2003 and Rp.26.8 billion higher in 2004.

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 revenue-sharing arrangements are recorded in a manner similar to capital leases where the fixed assets and obligation under revenue-sharing arrangements are reflected on the balance sheet. All the revenues generated from the revenue-sharing arrangements are recorded as a component of operating revenues, while a portion of the investors’ share of revenue from the revenue-sharing arrangements is recorded as interest expense and the balance is treated as a reduction of the obligation under revenue-sharing arrangements.

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.68.0 billion higher in 2002, Rp.23.2 billion higher in 2003 and Rp.155.4 billion higher in 2004.

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 has been no difference in equity since 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.3.9 billion higher in 2002, with no change in both 2003 and 2004.

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

104 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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 under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.111.4 billion higher in 2002, Rp.109.3 billion lower in 2003 and Rp.313.9 billion higher in 2004.

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 recognizes the effect of the differences between U.S. GAAP and Indonesian GAAP at the investee level 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.0.2 billion lower in 2002, Rp.0.2 billion lower in 2003 and Rp.0.2 billion lower in 2004.

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 tradable 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 land rights is amortized over the economic useful life which represents the contractual period of the land rights.

The Company’s consolidated income before tax would have been Rp.11.8 billion lower in 2002, Rp.10.2 billion lower in 2003 and Rp.13.9 billion lower in 2004 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 2003 and 2004.

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 recognized when the Company sells the card.

105 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

Under U.S. GAAP, revenue from front-end fees and incremental cost up to, but not exceeding such fees, are deferred and recognized over the expected term of the customer relationship. 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.89.3 billion lower in 2002, Rp.53.2 billion lower in 2003 and Rp.54.2 billion higher in 2004.

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, Rp.21.3 billion higher in 2003 and Rp.21.3 billion higher in 2004.

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.

Consequently the Company’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.14.2 billion higher in 2002, Rp.6.9 billion higher in 2003 and Rp.3.4 billion lower in 2004.

Acquisition of Dayamitra

On May 17, 2001, 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 since May 17, 2001.

On December 14, 2004, the Company exercised the option to acquire the 9.68% interest in Dayamitra.

Under Indonesian GAAP, prior to December 14, 2004, the Company accounted for the remaining 9.68% of Dayamitra as minority interest. In addition, the option price that has been paid by the Company was presented as “Advance payments for investments in shares of stock.” The Company started consolidating the remaining 9.68% of Dayamitra on December 14, 2004 following the exercise of the option.

The difference in the timing of the 9.68% ownership interest recognition gives rise to differences in the timing and amounts of purchase consideration and liability recognized under Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

106 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

Consequently the Company’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.9.3 billion lower in 2002, Rp.24.5 billion lower in 2003 and Rp.72.4 billion lower in 2004.

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, the Company’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.65.2 billion lower in 2002, Rp.38.4 billion lower in 2003 and no change in 2004.

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. The Company and its subsidiaries identified their Asset Retirement Obligations by reviewing contractual agreements to identify whether the Company and its subsidiaries are required to settle any obligations as a result of the prevailing laws, statute, ordinance, written or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine of promissory estoppel.

Consequently, the Company’s consolidated income before tax under U.S. GAAP would have been the same in 2002, Rp.0.9 billion lower in 2003 and Rp.0.9 billion lower in 2004.

Deferred Income Taxes

Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company does not recognize deferred taxes on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of equity method investments when it is not probable that these differences will reverse in the foreseeable future.

Under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxes are recognized in full on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of equity method investments.

Consequently, the Company’s consolidated net income would have been no change in 2002, Rp.119.5 billion higher in 2003 and Rp.11.2 billion lower in 2004.

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

107 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

markets or discounting estimated future cash flows. Reversals of previously recognized impairment losses are prohibited.

There were no impairment charges recognized by the Company and therefore, there are no differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

Gain (loss) on Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment

Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company classifies gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment as a component of other income (expenses) which is excluded from the determination of operating income.

Under U.S. GAAP, gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment is classified as a component of operating expenses and hence included in the determination of operating income.

Consequently, the Company’s operating income under U.S. GAAP would have been Rp.130.5 billion higher in 2002, Rp.182.9 billion higher in 2003 and Rp.26.1 billion lower in 2004, and other income (expenses) would have been lower (higher) by the same amounts in each of 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, due to the inclusion of the gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment in the determination of operating income.

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, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and to consolidated stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 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 2005 and 2006 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 2005 and 2006, 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 a backbone transmission network on
Ring JASUKA (Jawa, Sumatra and Kalimantan), the expansion of
TELKOM’s CDMA wireless access networks, fiber optic
transmission network from Kalimantan and Sulawesi, an additional
ground satellite segment in east Indonesia, fiber optic
transmission network Medan-Pekanbaru, 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, indebtedness of subsidiaries, its
short-term loan with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. Jakarta and Bank Central
Asia, and its Rp.1.1 trillion medium-term notes due between June
2005 and June 2007; |
| • | installment payments of the purchase price for shares of
AriaWest; |
| • | payments of contribution to TELKOM’s defined benefit
pension plan, post-retirement health care plan and long-service
awards in 2005; |
| • | fixed monthly payments to MGTI pursuant to the amended and
restated agreement for KSO IV, commencing February 2004 and
terminating in 2010; and |
| • | payment of call option price through monthly payment beginning
in December 2004 and ending March 2006 relating to the
acquisition of 9.68% shares of Dayamitra. |

Liquidity and capital resources will also be required for TELKOM to change its current DLD access code as a result of the end of TELKOM’s exclusive right to provide DLD services, with possible expenditures for the creation of a new routing database and costs for customer education and marketing. TELKOM will be required to fully implement this change in its DLD access code by April 1, 2010. See Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Regulations — DLD and IDD Services.”

Primary sources of financing available to TELKOM consist of: (i) cash flow from operating activities; (ii) financing from the bonds issuance; (iii) financing from banks or export credit agencies (including financing procured by vendors); and (iv) deferred vendor payment terms.

110 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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 2005 and 2006. 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 2005 and 2006 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 2005 and 2006.

Defaults and Waivers of Defaults under our Debt Facilities

As a result of our failure to file a fully compliant 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F with the SEC by the June 30, 2003 filing deadline and our May 2003 press release relating thereto, we were 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 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F 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.10,864.5 billion in 2002, Rp.12,852.5 billion in 2003 and Rp.16,051.5 billion (US$1,727.8 million) in 2004. 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 acquisition of AriaWest in 2003. In 2004, the growth in operating cash flows principally resulted from higher cash receipts from operating revenues as a result of an increase in other services (data and Internet revenues), the expansion of TELKOM’s fixed wireline business as well as the acquisition of KSO IV, growth in its mobile cellular business conducted through Telkomsel and higher interconnection revenues from mobile cellular operators. In both 2003 and 2004, these higher cash receipts were partially offset by rising cash payments for operating expenses.

Year ended December 31, 2004 compared to year ended December 31, 2003.

In 2004 compared to 2003, net cash flows from operating activities increased by Rp.3,199.0 billion, or 24.9%, primarily due to:

| • | an increase of Rp.2,731.4 billion, or 69.5%, 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; |
| --- | --- |
| • | an increase of Rp.1,882.7 billion, or 23.0%, in cash
receipts from fixed lines telephone services, primarily from the
increase in the number of subscribers for fixed wireline and
fixed wireless services, as well as from the acquisition of KSO
IV; |
| • | an increase of Rp.1,562.6 billion, or 37.2%, in cash
receipts from interconnection, primarily due to an increase in
interconnection fees collected from mobile cellular operators;
and |
| • | an increase of Rp.1,572.3 billion, or 17.6%, in cash
receipts from cellular, due to growth in mobile cellular
business conducted through Telkomsel. |

This increase was partially offset by:

| • | an increase of Rp.3,408.8 billion, or 38.5%, in cash
payments for operating expenses, which is in line with the
increase in operating expenses (excluding depreciation); and |
| --- | --- |
| • | a decrease of Rp.648.1 billion, or 54.2%, in cash receipts
from joint operation schemes, primarily due to the acquisition
of KSO IV. |

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; |

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. |

This increase was partially offset by:

• 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.

Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities totaled Rp.6,050.0 billion, Rp.7,305.9 billion and Rp.9,598.1 billion (US$1,033.2 million) in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. In 2002, net cash used in investing activities was used for capital expenditures 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 and 2004, the net cash used in investing activities were primarily used for capital expenditures.

Apart from cash on hand and cash in banks, TELKOM invests the majority of its excess cash from time to time in time deposits. Since May 14, 2004, TELKOM also has been investing a part of its excess cash in mutual funds. At December 31, 2004, Rp.120.9 billion of time deposits had a maturity greater than three months and Rp.14.9 billion (US$1.6 million) of mutual funds were outstanding.

Year ended December 31, 2004 compared to year ended December 31, 2003.

In the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the year ended December 31, 2003, net cash flows used in investment activities increased by Rp.2,292.2 billion, or 31.4%, primarily due to:

| • | a decrease of Rp.1,609.9 billion, or 84.9%, in the cash
proceeds from investments and the maturity of time deposits; and |

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities totaled Rp.2,670.2 billion, Rp.6,177.4 billion and Rp.6,904.9 (US$743.2 million) in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. In all three years, net cash flows from financing activities were driven primarily by repayments of outstanding indebtedness and by payments of cash dividends. In 2004, cash flow used in financing activities increased by Rp.727.5 billion, or 11.8%, primarily resulting from a 288.0% increase in the repayment of long-term indebtedness to Rp.5,963.7 billion. This increase was partially offset by a Rp.2,453.0 billion increase in proceeds from borrowings and a Rp.1,080.0 billion increase in proceeds from medium-term notes.

Repayments of Current Indebtedness.

At December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, approximately 68.5%, 89.2% and 72.7%, 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 U.S. 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 2003 compared to 2002 and depreciation of the Rupiah in 2004 compared to 2003.

In 2002, 2003 and 2004, TELKOM made net repayments of current indebtedness for borrowed money of Rp.3,342.0 billion, Rp.3,050.0 billion and Rp.7,601.6 billion (US$818.3 million), respectively. Cash outflows in 2004 reflected payments for:

• two-step loans of Rp.2,180.2 billion;
• liabilities of business acquisitions of AriaWest, Pramindo,
Dayamitra and KSO IV of Rp.1,893.4 billion;
• Rp.3,293.9 billion for payment of bank loans;
• Rp.172.5 billion for payment of Dayamitra’s
suppliers’ credit loans;
• Rp.52.5 billion for payment of Dayamitra’s bridging
loan; and
• Rp.9.1 billion for payment of other long-term debts.

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 AGMS Year Dividends per Share (1) Reserve
(Rp. Billion) (Rp.) (Rp. Billion)
June 21, 2002 2001 2,125.1 210.81 425.0
May 9, 2003. 2002 3,338.1 331.16 813.7
July 30, 2004 2003 3,043.6 301.95 121.7

(1) Dividend per share for 2001, 2002 and 2003 were prior to the two-for-one stock split as resolved in the AGMS on July 30, 2004.

In 2002, 2003 and 2004, 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.

On December 7, 2004, TELKOM’s board of directors approved an interim cash dividends for the year 2004 in the amount of Rp.7.112 per share for an aggregate total cash dividends of Rp.143.4 billion. The interim cash dividends were paid to the Government on December 29, 2004 and to other shareholders on January 6, 2005.

Escrow Accounts.

In 2004, TELKOM recorded a net decrease in escrow accounts of Rp.485.9 billion (US$52.3 million), which represented the repayments of indebtedness related to the acquisition of Dayamitra funded from the contractually-required escrow accounts established on May 17, 2001 and payments to Samsung Electronic Co. Ltd. for financing the CDMA project starting in July 2004.

Working Capital

Net working capital, calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities, was negative Rp.2,227.2 billion at December 31, 2003 and negative Rp.2,473.1 billion (US$266.2 million) at December 31, 2004. The decrease in net working capital was principally due to a significant increase in current liabilities such as short-term bank loans, trade accounts payable to third parties and unearned income.

Current Assets

Current assets were Rp.8,942.6 billion at December 31, 2003 and Rp.9,203.9 billion (US$990.7 million) at December 31, 2004, reflecting an increase of Rp.261.3 billion, or 2.9%. The increase in current assets was primarily due to:

| • | an increase in trade accounts receivable from third parties of
Rp.478.0 billion, or 19.7%, from Rp.2,422.0 billion at
December 31, 2003 to Rp.2,900.0 billion
(US$312.2 million) at December 31, 2004; |
| --- | --- |
| • | an increase in prepaid expenses of Rp.198.4 billion, or
46.2%, from Rp.429.7 billion at December 31, 2003 to
Rp.628.1 billion (US$67.6 million) at
December 31, 2004; and |
| • | an increase in inventories of Rp.49.1 billion, or 31.9%,
from Rp.154.0 billion at December 31, 2003 to
Rp.203.1 billion (US$21.9 million) at
December 31, 2004; |

These increases were partially offset by:

| • | a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of
Rp.238.4 billion, or 4.7%, from Rp.5,094.5 billion at
December 31, 2003 to Rp.4,856.1 billion
(US$522.7 million) at December 31, 2004; |
| --- | --- |
| • | a decrease in prepaid taxes of Rp.135.1 billion, or 63.6%,
from Rp.212.3 billion at December 31, 2003 to
Rp.77.2 billion (US$8.3 million) at December 31,
2004; and |
| • | a decrease in other accounts receivable of
Rp.114.3 billion, or 67.2%, from Rp.170.1 billion at
December 31, 2003 to Rp.55.8 billion
(US$6.0 million) at December 31, 2004; |

At December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, approximately 34.0%, 19.4% and 22.3%, respectively, of TELKOM’s current assets were denominated in foreign currencies, principally the U.S. Dollar in 2002 and 2003 and the Euro in 2004, such that the movements of Rupiah exchange rate against U.S. Dollar and Euro across these years would affect TELKOM’s current assets.

Trade Accounts Receivable.

Trade accounts receivable from related parties (net of allowance for doubtful accounts) increased by Rp.8.2 billion, or 2.0%, from Rp.410.9 billion as of December 31, 2003 to Rp.419.1 billion (US$45.1 million) at December 31, 2004. Trade accounts receivable from third parties (net of allowance for doubtful accounts) increased by Rp.478.0 billion, or 19.7% from Rp.2,422.0 billion at December 31, 2003 to Rp.2,900.0 billion (US$312.2 million) at December 31, 2004, primarily due to an increase in the number of mobile cellular, fixed wireless subscribers and the consolidation of KSO IV. In the case of trade accounts receivable from related parties, the increase was primarily due to increase in number of related party customers following the acquisition of KSO IV.

The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade accounts receivable from related parties decreased Rp.46.0 billion, or 41.5%, from Rp.110.9 billion at December 31, 2003 to Rp.64.9 billion (US$7.0 million) at December 31, 2004, primarily due to a larger bad debts from related parties being written off in 2004.

At December 31, 2004 compared to December 31, 2003, the allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables from third parties increased Rp.124.1 billion, or 37.3%, from Rp.333.0 billion to Rp.457.1 billion (US$49.2 million), primarily due to an increase in number of delinquent accounts of third parties.

Other Current Assets.

At December 31, 2004, Rp.44.6 billion (US$4.8 million) of TELKOM’s deposits were restricted for security interests in favor of other parties and for bank guarantees, of which Rp.42.7 billion (US$4.6 million) was used to secure Napsindo’s borrowings, a subsidiary, and recorded as other current assets.

Current Liabilities

Current liabilities were Rp.11,169.8 billion at December 31, 2003 and Rp.11,677.0 billion (US$1,256.9 billion) at December 31, 2004, reflecting an increase of Rp.507.2 billion, or 4.5%. The increase in current liabilities primarily arose from increases in the following: (a) short-term bank loans; (b) trade accounts payable to third parties; and (c) unearned income.

At December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, approximately 17.2%, 42.5% and 31.6%, 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 decreased by Rp.1,142.7 billion, or 33.2%, from Rp.3,443.5 billion at December 31, 2003 to Rp.2,300.8 billion (US$247.7 million) at December 31, 2004. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in liabilities of business acquisitions.

Accrued Expenses.

Accrued expenses decreased by Rp.133.8 billion, or 11.3%, from Rp.1,185.2 billion at December 31, 2003 to Rp.1,051.4 billion (US$113.2 million) at December 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in early retirement benefits from Rp.132.8 billion at December 31, 2003 to nil at December 31, 2004 as accrued early retirement benefits were fully paid in 2004.

Indebtedness

Consolidated total indebtedness (consisting of long-term liabilities, current maturities of long-term liabilities and short-term bank loans) at December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, was as follows:

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.

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2004, TELKOM’s outstanding principal indebtedness under the two-step loans totaled Rp.6,018.7 billion (US$647.9 million), of which US$257.8 million (Rp.2,397.4 billion) was denominated in U.S. Dollars and Japanese Yen 16.7 billion (Rp.1,512.4 billion) was denominated in Japanese Yen. As of December 31, 2004, 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 or the interest rate offered by lenders plus 5.25% for two-step loans which are payable in Rupiah and the interest rate offered by offshore lenders plus 0.5% for two-step loans which are payable on foreign currencies. Repayments of principal are due on the loans at various dates through 2024. For the years 2005 through 2009, aggregate scheduled repayments of principal range from Rp.444.9 billion to Rp.655.4 billion per year and average Rp.526.6 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, 2004, the Company was in compliance with the above covenants.

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.

payments of US$787,390 to the escrow account starting from December 26, 2004 until March 26, 2006. TELKOM issued a non-transferable promissory note to TM Communications as a guarantee to buy the shares on March 26, 2006, during which TM Communications will concurrently transfer the 9.68% share certificate of Dayamitra to TELKOM. As a result, TELKOM currently controls 100% of the Dayamitra.

Pramindo

At December 31, 2003, TELKOM owed the US$191.2 million (before unamortized discount) to the former shareholders of Pramindo, representing the unpaid portion of the purchase price for France Cable et Radio, Astratel, Indosat, Marubeni, IFC USA and NMP Singapore.

On January 28, 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 was repaid in 10 monthly payments starting March 31, 2004 through December 31, 2004, with interest payable at one month LIBOR plus 2.75%. The final installment payment was made in December 2004.

On January 20, 2004, TELKOM and MGTI entered into an agreement to amend and restate the KSO Agreement with respect to Regional Division IV. Under the amended and restated KSO agreement, the rights to operate fixed-line telecommunication services in KSO IV region are transferred to TELKOM and KSO IV is operated under the management, supervision, control and responsibility of TELKOM. In addition, for the remaining KSO period, TELKOM is entitled at its sole discretion and expense to construct new telecommunications facilities in Regional Division IV. MGTI receives fixed monthly payments, while TELKOM is entitled to the balance of the KSO revenues after the monthly amounts due to MGTI and operating expenses. If the KSO IV unit is unable to or does not for any reason pay MGTI the fixed monthly payments due to it, TELKOM is obligated to make up any deficiency. At the end of the KSO period (December 31, 2010), all rights, title and interest of MGTI in existing property, plant and equipment (including new additional installations) and inventories shall be transferred to TELKOM at no cost.

In 2005, TELKOM also plans to spend Rp.1,650.6 billion for capital investments in commercial services, allocated as follows:

| • | Rp.683.7 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.802.4 billion for capital investments in multimedia

CATV systems; |
| • | Rp.164.5 billion for capital investments in service-net,
including the establishment of fixed wireless services,
e-commerce, internet connectivity and value added services. |

Planned Investments in Supporting Services

TELKOM plans to spend Rp.922.0 billion in 2005 for capital investments in supporting services, including research and development, building facilities and office facilities.

Telkomsel’s planned capital investments in infrastructure in 2005 total Rp.7,322.0 billion relating to:

| • | investments in BTS stations to expand network coverage and TRX
and microcells to improve quality; |
| --- | --- |
| • | switching equipment; |
| • | IN equipment used for prepaid products; and |
| • | fiber optic transmission for large cities in Java. |

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. In addition, TELKOM has in recent years accessed the debt capital markets for a portion of its financing needs. On July 16, 2002, TELKOM issued a fixed rate IDR Bond in the amount of Rp.1,000 billion with maturity of five years with fixed interest rate of 17% per annum. On December 15, 2004, TELKOM issued unsecured medium-term notes (“MTN”) in the principal amount of Rp.1.125 trillion in four series with interest rates ranging from 7.7% to 9.4% 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 2002, 2003 or 2004 and does not intend to fund any such capital investments (other than capital investments in fixed line telephone services) through such arrangements in the future, except in the context of its efforts to promote the “pay as you grow” program to fund capital investments. See “Pay as You Grow” below. Beginning in 2004, TELKOM intends to replace existing revenue-sharing arrangements with new partnership schemes on more favorable terms.

Direct Borrowings

Beginning in 2002, TELKOM began funding a significant portion of its capital expenditures through vendor-procured and other direct borrowings 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, 2004, the outstanding amount under these facilities was US$0.4 million and Rp.8.1 billion.

On April 10, 2002, TELKOM borrowed US$51.4 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, 2004, the outstanding amount under these facilities were US$29.8 million and Rp.143.5 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, as amended, 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. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding amount under these facilities were Rp.117.2 billion.

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, 2004, the outstanding amount under this facility was US$59.1 million

On January 28, 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 subsequently released to TELKOM on March 15, 2004 when TELKOM exercised its option to purchase the remaining outstanding promissory notes TELKOM issued to Pramindo’s shareholders as payment for their shares in 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%. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding amount under this facility was nil.

On December 21, 2004, TELKOM entered into a US$65.0 million short-term loan facility agreement with ABN AMRO to be used for working capital purposes. The principal amount of US$30 million matured on March 31, 2005 and was repaid and US$35 million matured on June 30, 2005 and was repaid. The loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding amount under this facility was US$65.0 million.

On December 27, 2004, TELKOM entered into a short-term loan agreement with Bank Central Asia in the amount of US$49 million to be used for working capital purposes. The loan matured on June 28, 2005 and was repaid and bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.85%. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding amount under this facility was US$49.0 million.

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. The “pay as you grow” scheme allows TELKOM to pay the equipment vendors based on the attainment of a certain number of customers in the related area/facility or within one year from completion date, whichever is earlier. Vendors participating in this “pay as you grow” scheme have assessed the risk of entering into such scheme and, up to the date of this Annual Report, have only been willing to enter into this scheme for projects that they believe have high customer potential. Accordingly, vendors have always been paid by TELKOM within a few months after the equipment has been delivered. 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.

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 believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. For a complete discussion of the application of these and other significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. TELKOM believes that of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity or are areas where assumptions and estimates are particularly critical to the financial statements:

Consolidation/ Equity method

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%.

128 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which effective control is obtained and are no longer consolidated from the date of disposal.

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the case of Pramindo, the Company has evaluated the scope and terms of this investment and has 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 shareholders 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 percent 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 other 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. Revenue from usage charges are recognized as customers incur the charges.

Revenues from cellular service connections (connection fee) are recognized as income at the time the connection takes place, while those from airtime (for cellular) and monthly subscription charges are recognized as accessed and as earned. Revenues from prepaid card customers, which consist of the

129 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

sale of starter packs, which consist of a SIM card in the case of cellular services and RUIM in the case of fixed wireless telephone, 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 net of interconnection expenses (expenses are recognized on an accrual 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.

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 on revenue-sharing arrangements” presented in the Liabilities section of the balance sheet) based on the cost 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 TELKOM’s share as provided in the agreement.

Revenue 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.

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

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.

Carrying Amount of Property, Plant and Equipment and Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

TELKOM estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and goodwill and other intangible assets 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 and, in the case of rights to operate intangible assets, the remaining term of the KSO agreement. When the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable value due to, among others, technological changes, significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate, unanticipated competition, industry changes or physical damage, the useful lives assigned to these assets may either need to be shortened, resulting in the recognition of increased depreciation and amortization expense in future periods or these changes could result in the recognition of an impairment charge to reflect the write-down in value of the asset. TELKOM reviews these types of assets for impairment periodically, when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. Assessment of the timing and/or the amount of such impairment is a matter of significant judgment. In assessing impairments, TELKOM uses discounted cash flows that take into account management’s estimates of future operations. The most important estimates that we use in projecting our future cash flows involve our expectations of the future prices at which our services will be charged, the number of access lines that we will have in service and the discount rate that is used to arrive at the discounted present value of the projected future cash flows. The prices at which our services are charged are subject to government regulation. The number of access lines that we will have in service will depend upon our ability to source sufficient, affordable financing to build new access lines.

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.

131 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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 the yield-to-maturity of Indonesian Government Bonds at year end. At December 31, 2004, TELKOM’s discount rate was 11%.

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 maintained our projected medical cost at 12% from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004 to reflect a steady growth in our medical cost trend experience which is in line with a constant general inflationary trends in Indonesia.

Assumed health care cost trends have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plan. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

Point Increase Point Decrease
Effect on total of service and interest cost components 128,311 (99,603 )
Effect on post-retirement benefit obligation 916,961 (720,657 )

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

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 as of the date of this Annual Report, a dividend distributed by a company to a corporate shareholder, that has a minimum share ownership of 25% and has businesses other than as a holding company, is not subject to tax 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 with a minimum share ownership of 25% and have businesses other than as a holding company, and dividend distributions from a company to a corporate shareholder that meets the criteria described above continues to be not subject to tax, 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

132 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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

As of the date of this Annual Report, we are 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. While 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 that would be charged to our income statement in the future. See Note 53 to the consolidated financial statements and Item 8. “Financial Information — Material Litigation.”

In addition, we may face SEC enforcement action and other legal liability in connection with our failure to timely file a compliant 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F by the June 30, 2003 filing deadline. See Item 3. “Risk Factors — 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.”

C. Research and Development and Intellectual Property

TELKOM makes investments to improve its product and service offerings. Such expenditure amounted to approximately Rp.11.2 billion in 2002, Rp.2.1 billion in 2003 and Rp.27.8 billion (US$3.0 million) in 2004. In 2004, these expenditures related to video conferencing, SMS development, CMS system and CDMA lab.

TELKOM is in the process of registering a number of patents for technologies relating to, among others, cellular phones and network, PSTN, switching systems and related administration systems. It has also registered or is in the process of registering its trade and service marks in Indonesia.

D. Trend information

A number of developments have had and may have in the future a material impact on TELKOM’s results of operations, financial condition and capital expenditures. These developments include:

| • | ongoing consequences related to TELKOM’s failure to file a
compliant Form 20-F for 2002 by June 30, 2003; |

E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

TELKOM is party to a number of operating leases, all of which are cancelable on less than one month’s notice at the option of TELKOM. These operating leases relate principally to vehicles and computers. TELKOM does not believe these operating leases are material to its business.

TELKOM has entered into a partnership agreement with Motorola, Inc., Ericsson Radio A.B., Siemens Aktiengesellschaft (AG) and Nokia Oyj whereby TELKOM is obligated to purchase certain cellular equipment and services. In addition, TELKOM has entered into agreements pursuant to which TELKOM is committed to pay for services relating to the launch of the TELKOM-2 Satellite and the construction of a PSTN network for each of Regional Division II and V.

ITEM 6. DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES

A. Directors and Senior Management

In accordance with Indonesian law, the Company has a two-tier board structure, consisting of a Board of Commissioners and a Board of Directors. The executive management functions are carried out by the Board of Directors, whose members are comprised of the top executives of the Company, comparable to the chief executive officer, chief financial officer and other such officers of corporations incorporated under the laws of many of the States in the United States of America.

Board of Commissioners

TELKOM’s Articles of Association (the “Articles”), referring to the Indonesian Company Law, states that the principal statutory duties of the Board of Commissioners are to supervise the policies of the Board of Directors in the operation and management of the Company and to give advice to the Board of Directors. In carrying out its supervisory activities, the Board of Commissioners is accountable to the stockholders of the Company.

The Board of Commissioners, which supervises the management of TELKOM and the implementation of TELKOM business plan by the Board of Directors, does not have day-to-day management functions or authority, except in limited circumstances where all members of the Board of Directors have been suspended for any reason.

The current Board of Commissioners of TELKOM consists of five members, two of whom are independent commissioners.

Pursuant to the Articles, each Commissioner is appointed for a term commencing from the date of the appointment by the general meeting of stockholders until the closing of the third annual general meeting of stockholders following the date of appointment, without prejudice to the right of the general meeting of stockholders to discharge a Commissioner at any time before his or her term of office expires. If the position of a Commissioner becomes vacant for any reason, the Articles further provide that within 60 days of the occurrence of such vacancy, an announcement that there will be notice for a general meeting of stockholders must be made to nominate a successor.

Pursuant to the Articles, meetings of the Board of Commissioners are presided over by the President Commissioner. If the President Commissioner is absent, another member of the Board of Commissioners chosen from the Commissioners present presides over the meeting.

Meetings of the Board of Commissioners must be held at least once every three months and at any other time (i) upon request of the President Commissioner, (ii) upon request of one-third of the members of the Board of Commissioners, (iii) upon written request of the Board of Directors, or (iv) upon request of a shareholder or a group of stockholders holding at least one-tenth of the outstanding shares of TELKOM with valid voting rights. The quorum for all Board of Commissioners meetings is more than one-half of the total number of the Commissioners then represented in person or by proxy granted to one of the other Commissioners of TELKOM at such meeting.

Resolutions of a meeting of the Board of Commissioners shall be by consensus. If consensus cannot be reached, it shall be by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Board of Commissioners present or represented at the meeting. In the event of a tie, the proposed resolution shall be deemed to have been rejected.

TELKOM’s KSO employees remain employees of TELKOM and are subject to all employment rules and policies of TELKOM in force at that time, except to the extent that rules and policies are supplemented, in favor of the employee, by the rules and policies of the KSO Unit. Additional KSO employees are the employees of the KSO partner and TELKOM has no obligation to continue their employment at the end of the KSO period.

In general, TELKOM employees receive a base salary and salary-related allowances, a bonus and various benefits, including a pension plan and a post-retirement health care plan, medical benefits for themselves and certain members of their immediate family, housing allowance, other allowances and certain other benefits, including those related to performance of the employee’s working unit.

Over the past five years, the size of the annual bonus pool has ranged from Rp.135 billion to Rp.304.42 billion. In 2004, bonuses were paid by TELKOM to all employees including TELKOM’s employees in KSO and Non-KSO divisions. After the size of the bonus pool is determined, management allocates the pool among the Divisions depending upon their respective performances and uniform bonuses for employees at each staff level for each Division are then determined.

Except in connection with its initial public offering in 1995, TELKOM does not maintain an employee share scheme for any of its employees or senior management.

TELKOM’s mandatory retirement age for all employees is 56. TELKOM sponsors a defined benefit pension plan and a defined contribution pension plan. The defined benefit pension plan is for permanent employees hired prior to July 1, 2002. The amount of the pension entitlement under the defined benefit pension plan 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.297.4 billion, Rp.486.3 billion and Rp.840.0 billion (US$90.4 million), for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. See Note 44 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.

Membership with SEKAR is not compulsory. TELKOM believes that its relations with SEKAR are good.

The Government holds a majority of the outstanding Series B shares of TELKOM. In addition, the Government is the holder of the Series A Dwiwarna share, which has special voting rights. See Item 7. “Major Stockholders and Related Party Transactions — Relationship with the Government — Government as Shareholder.”

The Government holds a majority of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company and so retains control of the Company and has the power to elect all of its Board of Commissioners and all of its Board of Directors and to determine the outcome of substantially all actions requiring the approval of the stockholders. In addition, the Company’s Common Stock is also owned by Pension Funds, Insurance Funds and other institutions, owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Government.

The Government is also the holder of the Series A Dwiwarna Share, which has special voting rights. The material rights and restrictions which are applicable to the Common Stock are also applicable to the Dwiwarna Share, except that the Government may not transfer the Dwiwarna Share and it has a veto with respect to (i) election and removal of Directors; (ii) election and removal of Commissioners; and (iii) amendments to the Articles of Association, including amendments to merge or dissolve the Company prior to the expiration of its term of existence, increase or decrease its authorized capital and reduce its subscribed capital. 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. On November 14, 1995, the Government sold some of its TELKOM shares through an initial public offering on the Jakarta Stock Exchange and Surabaya Stock Exchange. The shares offered consisted of 933,333,000 new Series B shares and 233,334,000 Series B shares 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 represented 20 Series B shares at that time.

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.

In May 1999, the Government completed another block sale of 898 million Series B shares.

Under Law No.1/1995 on Limited Liability Companies, the minimum total par value of TELKOM’s issued share capital has to be at least 25% of the total par value of TELKOM’s authorized share capital,

or in TELKOM’s case, Rp.5 trillion. To comply with the law, it was resolved at the annual general meeting of stockholders on April 16, 1999 to increase the issued share capital by way of capitalization of certain additional paid in capital. The bonus shares were distributed to the then existing stockholders in August 1999.

In December 2001, the Government conducted another block-sale of 1,200 million shares (or 11.90% of the total outstanding Series B shares).

On July 16, 2002, the Government sold 312 million Series B shares (3.1% of the Series B shares) through an accelerated placement of TELKOM’s shares to institutional investors in Indonesia and globally at Rp.3,635 per share.

At TELKOM’s annual general meeting of shareholders in July 2004, the shareholders approved the split of nominal value of the Series A Dwiwarna share and Series B Shares of the Company from Rp.500 per share to Rp.250 per share. The number of authorized shares increased from 40,000,000,000 shares to 80,000,000,000 shares while the number of outstanding shares as of such date increased from 10,079,999,640 shares to 20,159,999,280 shares. As a result of the split of the nominal value, the previous one Series A Dwiwarna Share became two shares with the following criteria: (i) one Series A Dwiwarna share was preserved as a Series A Dwiwarna share owned by the Government with a nominal value of Rp.250 per share and (ii) the other share was issued as one Series B Share owned by the Government.

Relationship with the Government

Government as Shareholder

As of December 31, 2004, 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 Articles, including actions to merge or dissolve TELKOM, increase or decrease its authorized capital, or reduce its subscribed capital. 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. The Government’s rights with respect to the Dwiwarna Share will not terminate unless the Articles of Association of the Company are amended, which would require the consent of the Government as holder of such Dwiwarna Share.

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 of Badan 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 MoCI. In particular, the MoCI 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 MoCI 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 MoCI (or previously 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 MoCI, 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, 2004, the Government had sub-loaned borrowings from foreign lenders to TELKOM as “two-step loans” amounting to Rp.6,018.7 billion (US$647.9 million), including current maturities. TELKOM is obligated to pay to the Government interest and principal repayment that is

subsequently remitted by the Government to the respective lenders. At the end of December 2004, foreign currency loans represented 65% of the outstanding total of such loans. The remaining 35.0% of such outstanding loans is denominated in Rupiah. In 2004, the annual interest rates charged on loans repayable in Rupiah range from 8.3% to 13.3%, on those repayable in U.S. Dollar range from 4.0% to 8.0%, on those repayable in EURO range from 7.3% to 8.5% 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.

Indosat

At the time TELKOM acquired Pramindo in August 2002, 13% of the issued and paid up share capital of Pramindo was owned by Indosat, a company that, at that time, was majority owned and controlled by our major shareholder, the Government of Indonesia. As such, Indosat is considered as a related party.

Following the merger of Indosat, PT Indosat Multimedia Mobile (“IM3”), Satelindo and PT Bimagraha Telekomindo on November 20, 2003, with Indosat as the surviving entity, all the rights and obligations of Satelindo and IM3 arising from their agreements with TELKOM and Telkomsel, as the case may be, were transferred or assumed by Indosat.

The Company has an agreement with Indosat for the provision of international telecommunication services to the public. The principal matters covered by the agreement are as follows:

| • | The Company provides a local network for customers to make or
receive international calls. Indosat provides the international
network for the customers, except for certain border towns, as
determined by the Director General of Post and Telecommunication
of the Republic of Indonesia. The international
telecommunication services include telephone, telex, telegram,
package switched data network, television, teleprinter,
Alternate Voice/Data Telecommunication (AVD), hotline and
teleconferencing. The Company receives compensation for the
services, based on the interconnection tariff determined by the
Minister of Communications of the Republic of Indonesia; |
| --- | --- |
| • | The Company has also entered into an interconnection agreement
between the Company’s PSTN network and Indosat’s
cellular network in connection with the implementation of
Indosat Multimedia Mobile services and the settlement of the
related interconnection rights and obligations. |
| • | The Company’s compensation relating to leased lines/
channel services, such as International Broadcasting System, AVD
and bill printing is calculated at 15% of Indosat’s
revenues from such services. Indosat also leased circuits from
the Company to link Jakarta, Medan and Surabaya in 2003, but did
not use this service in 2004; and |
| • | The Company has been handling customer billing and collection
for Indosat. Indosat is gradually taking over the activities and
performing its own direct billing and collection. The Company
receives compensation from Indosat computed at 1% of the
collections made by the Company beginning January 1, 1995,
plus the billing process expenses which are fixed at a certain
amount per record. |

The Company leased international circuits from Indosat (originally from Satelindo). Payments made in relation to the lease amounted to Rp.32.9 billion and Rp.30.2 billion in 2002 and 2003, respectively (2002 payments were made to Satelindo), which were 0.3% and 0.2% of total operating expenses for 2002 and 2003, respectively.

In 1994, the Company transferred to Satelindo (now Indosat) the right to use a parcel of Company-owned land located in Jakarta that had been previously leased to PT Telekomindo Primabhakti. Based on the transfer agreement, Satelindo is given the right to use the land for 30 years and can apply for the right to build properties thereon. The ownership of the land is retained by the Company. Satelindo agreed to pay Rp.43.0 billion to the Company for the thirty-year right. Satelindo paid Rp.17.2 billion in 1994 and the remaining Rp.25.8 billion was not paid because the Utilization Right ( “Hak Pengelolaan Lahan” ) on the land could not be delivered as provided in the transfer agreement. In 2000, the Company and Satelindo agreed on an alternative solution by accounting for the above payment as lease expense up to 2006. In 2001, Satelindo paid an additional amount of Rp.59.9 billion as lease expense up to 2024.

Telkomsel also entered into an agreement with Indosat for the provision of international telecommunication services to GSM mobile cellular customers. The principal matters covered by the agreement are as follows:

| • | Telkomsel’s GSM mobile cellular telecommunication network
is connected with Indosat’s international gateway exchanges
to make outgoing or receive incoming international calls through
Indosat’s international gateway exchanges; |
| --- | --- |
| • | Telkomsel receives as compensation for the interconnection, a
specific percentage of Indosat’s revenues from the related
services made through Indosat’s international gateway
exchanges; |
| • | Billings for international calls made by Telkomsel’s
customers of GSM mobile cellular telecommunication are handled
by Telkomsel. Telkomsel is obliged to pay Indosat’s share
of revenue regardless whether billings to customers have been
collected; and |
| • | The agreement dated March 29, 1996, was initially valid for
one year, but extendable for one-year periods as agreed by both
parties. The latest extension expired on February 29, 2004.
Pending negotiations on a new agreement, Telkomsel and Indosat
have entered into an interim agreement with terms similar to
those set forth above. Under the terms of the interim agreement,
Telkomsel will receive 27% of the applicable tariff for outgoing
international calls from Telkomsel subscribers and Rp.800 per
minute for incoming international calls to Telkomsel
subscribers. The interim agreement will be effective from
March 1, 2004 until such date that Telkomsel and Indosat
enter into a new agreement. |

Telkomsel also has an agreement for the usage of Indosat’s telecommunication facilities. The agreement, which was made in 1997, is valid for eleven years and subject to change based on an annual review and agreement by both parties. The charges for the usage of the facilities amounted to Rp.12.7 billion, Rp. 17.9 billion and Rp.19.1 billion (US$2.1 million) in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively, or 0.1%, 0.1% and 0.1% of total operating expenses in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Material Litigation

Aria West

On July 31, 2003, TELKOM acquired 100% of the shares of its KSO partner for Regional Division III, 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

C. Markets

TELKOM’s Common Stock is listed on the Jakarta Stock Exchange (“JSX”) and the Surabaya Stock Exchange (“SSX”). The JSX is the principal non-U.S. trading market for the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing 40 shares of Common Stock, are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”). TELKOM’s Common Stock has also been publicly offered without listing in Japan.

The Indonesian Securities Market

As of the date of this Annual Report, 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.679.95 trillion at year end 2004 as compared to Rp. 605.39 trillion for the SSX. Total trading value on the JSX during 2004 was Rp.247.01 trillion, compared with Rp.8.12 trillion on the SSX.

Overview of the JSX

As of December 31, 2004, the JSX comprised of 125 members. Trading rules on the JSX are, at present, generated in the form of decisions by the JSX. There are currently two daily trading sessions for regular market and negotiated market from Monday to Thursday, a morning session from 9.30 a.m. to 12.00 noon, followed by an afternoon session from 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. There is only one cash market trading session from Monday to Thursday, 9.30 a.m. to 12.00 noon, and on Friday, 9.30 a.m. to 11.30 a.m.

Trading of securities is divided into three market segments: regular market, negotiated market and cash market (except for right issues which may only be traded in the cash and negotiated markets). The regular market is the mechanism for trading stock in standard lots on a continuous auction market during exchange hours. Regular market and cash market trading is generally carried out in unit lots of 500 shares. The price movements:

| • | for shares with previous price under Rp.500, in multiples of
Rp.5 and each price movement should be no more than Rp.50; |
| --- | --- |
| • | for shares with previous price between the range of Rp.500 up to
Rp.5,000, in multiples of Rp.25 and each price movement should
be no more than Rp.250; and |
| • | for shares with previous price of Rp.5,000 or more, in multiples
of Rp.50 and each price movement should be no more than Rp.500. |

Auctioning takes place according to price priority and time priority. Price priority refers to the giving of 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 (i.e. time priority).

The negotiated market trading is carried out by (i) direct negotiation between members of JSX or (ii) between clients through one member of JSX or (iii) between client and member of JSX or (iv) between member of JSX with Kustodi Penjaminan Efek Indonesia (Indonesian Clearing Guarantee Corporation) (“KPEI”). The negotiated market trading does not use round lots.

Transactions on the JSX regular market are required to be settled no later than the third trading day after the transactions except for cross trading. Transactions on the negotiated market are settled based on agreement between the selling exchange member and the buying exchange member, and are settled

per transaction. Transactions on the JSX cash market are required to be settled on the trading day of the transactions. In case of a default by an exchange member on settlement, cash market trading takes place, pursuant to which trading of securities by means of direct negotiation on cash and carry terms will be conducted. All cash market transactions must be reported to the JSX. An exchange member is obliged to pay a transaction cost as regulated by the JSX, delay in payment of the transaction cost will be subject to a fine of 1.0% of the outstanding amount for each day of delay. For any violation on JSX rules, JSX may impose to exchange member, sanctions: (i) fine up to Rp.500 million; (ii) a written warning; (iii) suspension; or (iv) revocation of license as an exchange member.

All transactions involving shares listed only on the JSX which use the services of brokers must be conducted through the JSX. In order for a trade (except a block trade) to be made on the JSX, both the cash and securities settlement must be conducted through the facilities of the JSX. Engaging in short selling is prohibited under the applicable regulations. Furthermore, the JSX may cancel a transaction if proof exists of fraud, market manipulation or the use of insider information. The JSX may also suspend trading if there are indications of fraudulent transactions or artificial inflation of share prices, misleading information, use of insider information, counterfeit securities or securities blocked from trading, or any other material event. The JSX may suspend trading of certain securities or suspend certain members of the stock exchange. For transactions involving shares listed on both the JSX and the SSX, either exchange may be used to effect the trade.

Members of the JSX charge a brokerage fee for their services, based on agreement with their client, up to a maximum of 1.0% of the transaction value. When conducting share transactions on the JSX, exchange members are required to pay a transaction cost in the amount of 0.03% of the transaction value (for transactions in the regular and cash markets) and a transaction cost in the amount of 0.03% of the transaction value or based on the exchange policy (for transactions in the negotiated markets). The transaction cost is minimum Rp.2 million per month as contribution for the provision of stock exchange’s facilities (which continues to apply for stock exchange members in suspension). The clients are also responsible for paying a 10.0% value added tax on the amount of brokerage fee and transaction cost. Also, Indonesian sellers are required to pay a withholding tax of 0.1% (0.6% for founder shares) of the total transaction value. Additionally, stamp duty of Rp.3,000 is payable on any transaction with a value between Rp.250,000 and Rp.1,000,000 and stamp duty of Rp.6,000 is payable on every transaction with a value of more than Rp.1,000,000.

Shareholders or their appointees may request at any time during working hours, the issuer or a securities administration bureau appointed by the issuer of such shares to register their shares in the issuer’s registry of shareholders. Reporting of share ownership to BAPEPAM is mandatory for shareholders whose ownership has reached 5.0% or more of issued and fully paid up capital, upon meeting such share ownership level or upon changes of such ownership.

Trading on the NYSE and LSE

The Bank of New York serves as depositary (the “Depositary”) with respect to the ADSs traded on the NYSE and the LSE. Each ADS represents 40 shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2004, 45,126,420 ADSs were outstanding in the United States and there were 154 registered holders of ADSs.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association

The Company’s articles of association (“Articles”) have been registered with the Ministry of Justice in accordance with the Limited Liability Company Law No. 1 Year 1995 (“Indonesian Company Law”) and was announced by Ministerial Decree number C2-7468.HT.01.04.TH.97 year 1997. According to article 3, the objectives and purposes of the Company are to operate telecommunications networks and provide telecommunications and information services.

In accordance with Indonesian company law, TELKOM has a Board of Commissioners and a Board of Directors. The two Boards are separate and no individual may be a member of both Boards. See Item 6. “Directors, Senior Management and Employees — A. Directors and Senior Management.” The Articles states that any transaction involving a conflict of interest between the Company and its directors, commissioners and stockholders should be approved by a stockholders meeting, in which approval is required from a majority of independent stockholders.

Each director also receives an annual bonus and other incentives if TELKOM surpasses certain financial and operating targets, the amounts of which are determined by the stockholders at the general meeting of stockholders. Bonuses and incentives are budgeted annually and are based on the recommendation of the Board of Directors which recommendation must be approved by the Board of Commissioners before submission to the stockholders. Each commissioner is granted a monthly honorarium and certain other allowances and is paid an annual bonus if TELKOM surpasses certain financial operating targets, the amounts of which are determined by the stockholders at the general meeting of stockholders. Each commissioner also receives a lump sum bonus paid at the end of the commissioner’s term pursuant to a letter of the Ministry of Finance which applies to all state-owned companies. No fees are paid to the Commissioners or Directors for attendance at their respective board meetings.

The Board of Directors are tasked with the responsibility of leading and managing the Company in accordance with its objectives and purposes and to control, preserve and manage the assets of the Company. Within such broad scope of responsibility, the Board of Directors are authorized to cause the Company to borrow such sums as it may require from time to time subject to the limitations set forth in the Articles. The borrowing powers of the Board of Directors may only be varied through an amendment to the Articles.

The Articles do not contain any requirement for (i) the directors to retire by a specified age, or (ii) the directors to own any or a specified number of shares of the Company. The rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to each class of the shares of the Company in respect of specified matters are set forth below:

| • | dividend rights. Dividends are to be paid based upon the
financial condition of TELKOM and in accordance with the
resolution of the stockholders in a general meeting, which will
also determine the form of and time for payment of the dividend; |
| --- | --- |
| • | voting rights. The holder of each voting share is
entitled to one vote at a general meeting of stockholders; |
| • | rights to share in the Company’s profits. See
dividend rights; |
| • | rights to share in any surplus in the event of liquidation. Stockholders are entitled to surplus in the event of
liquidation in accordance with their proportion of shareholding,
provided the nominal value of the Common Stock that they hold is
fully paid-up; |

158 PAGEBREAK

| • | redemption provisions. There are no stock redemption
provisions in the Articles. However, based on Article 30 of
Indonesian Company Law, TELKOM may buy back at the maximum 10%
of its issued shares; |
| --- | --- |
| • | reserved fund provisions. Retained earnings up to a
minimum of 20% of the issued capital of the Company is to be set
aside to cover potential losses suffered by the Company. If the
amount in the reserved fund exceeds 20% of the issued capital of
the Company, general meeting of stockholders may authorize the
Company to utilize such excess funds as dividends; |
| • | liability to further capital calls. Stockholders of the
Company may be asked to subscribe for new shares in the Company
from time to time. Such right is to be offered to stockholders
prior to being offered to third parties and may be transferred
at the option of the shareholder. The Board of Directors of the
Company is authorized to offer the new shares to third parties
in the event that the existing shareholder is unable or
unwilling to subscribe for such new shares; and |
| • | provisions discriminating against any existing or prospective
holder of such securities as a result of such shareholder owning
a substantial number of shares. The Articles do not contain
any such provision. |

In order to change the rights of holders of stock, an amendment to the relevant provisions of the Articles would be required. Any amendment to the Articles requires the approval of the holder of the Series A Dwiwarna share and two thirds of the holders of the Series B shares present at a general meeting. Such meeting must also be attended by the holder of the Series A Dwiwarna share.

General meetings of stockholders may only be convened upon the issuance of the requisite notice by the Company. The notice is to be published in at least 2 newspapers having general circulation within Indonesia, one of which must be in Indonesian and the other in English. The notice period for convening annual general meetings and extraordinary general meetings is 21 days (not including the date the meeting was called and the date of the meeting) and 14 days (not including the date the meeting was called and the date of the meeting) respectively. The quorum for the general meeting is stockholders representing more than 50% of the outstanding share capital of the Company. In the event that quorum is not achieved, another meeting is to be held, which meeting does not require the issue of a notice. At the second meeting, the quorum for the meeting is stockholders representing one third of the outstanding share capital of the Company. In the event that quorum is not achieved at the second meeting, a third meeting may be held, the quorum for which shall be determined by the Head of the District Court that has a judicial jurisdiction over TELKOM. Stockholders may vote by proxy. All resolutions are to be passed by consensus. If consensus cannot be reached, resolutions are passed by simple majority, unless a larger majority is required by the Articles.

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 regulations governing public companies, if such company meets or exceeds the capital and shareholder requirements applicable to a publicly-listed company.

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.

160 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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 has an audit committee composed of seven members: two independent commissioners, four members who are not affiliated with TELKOM and a non-independent commissioner with no right to vote as he is affiliated with the Government. The NYSE listing standards and the charter of TELKOM’s audit committee share the goal of establishing a system for overseeing the company’s accounting that is independent from management and of ensuring the auditor’s independence. However, unlike the requirements set forth in the NYSE listing standards, TELKOM’s audit committee does not have direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation and retention of TELKOM’s external auditor. TELKOM’s audit committee can only recommend the appointment of the external auditor to the BoC, and the BoC’s decision is subject to shareholder approval.

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

161 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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.”

C. Material contracts

Acquisition of AriaWest

On July 31, 2003, TELKOM acquired 100% of the shares of its KSO partner for Regional Division III, 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, which was fully prepaid in December 2004. 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.

Acquisition of Pramindo

Pursuant to a Conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement dated April 19, 2002, TELKOM agreed to acquire 100% of its KSO partner in Regional Division I, Pramindo and obtained management control over Pramindo. Upon the closing of the agreement on August 15, 2002, TELKOM acquired a 30% interest in Pramindo. In September 2003, TELKOM acquired a further 15% of the shares of Pramindo. The total purchase price for 100% of Pramindo was US$384.4 million. Of this amount, US$95.4 million was paid in August and September of 2002, with TELKOM acquiring full control over Pramindo. The balance of the purchase price was payable in ten unequal quarterly installments from September 2002 through December 2004. Under the agreement, TELKOM also agreed to repay loans to the International Finance Corporation amounting to US$86.2 million.

On January 29, 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 to repurchase the remaining outstanding promissory notes that TELKOM had issued as consideration for the purchase of Pramindo’s shares. This allowed TELKOM to accelerate the purchase of the remaining 55% of Pramindo that it did not yet own and as of the date of this Annual Report TELKOM owns 100% of Pramindo.

This agreement provides for the interconnection of TELKOM’s fixed line network with the local fixed line network to be established by Indosat. The Interconnection Agreement only regulates local fixed wireline in Jakarta and Surabaya area.

Contract with Orbital Sciences Corporation

On October 24, 2002, TELKOM signed a contract with Orbital Sciences Corporation, a U.S. company which develops and manufactures affordable space systems for commercial, civil government and military customers, to develop the TELKOM-2 satellite, a geosynchronous communication satellite based on Orbital’s STAR-2 platform. Pursuant to an amendment to this agreement dated December 15, 2003, the total fixed cost payable by TELKOM was increased from US$73 million to US$73.1 million, which is expected to be fully paid by TELKOM by July 2005. TELKOM expects to replace its existing Palapa B-4 satellite with the TELKOM-2 satellite around September 2005. The TELKOM-2 satellite has a capacity of 24 standard C-band transponders with transponder specifications similar to those of the TELKOM-1 satellite. The TELKOM-2 satellite has been designed for 15 years of in-orbit life. TELKOM expects that the satellite will support its national as well as regional communications network for voice, video and data communications. The satellite is planned to be launched into geo-synchronous orbit 22,300 miles above the earth and to operate in geostationary orbit position located at 118 degrees east longitude.

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 2004, the average rate of Rupiah to the U.S. Dollar was Rp.8,935, with the highest and lowest rates being Rp.9,430 and Rp.8,323 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

168 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

183 days or more during any twelve month period or present for any period with the intent to reside in Indonesia, during which period such non-resident individual receives income in respect of the ownership or disposition of Common Stock or ADSs and a “non-resident entity” is a corporation or a non-corporate body that is established, domiciled or organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Indonesia and does not have a fixed place of business or otherwise conducts business or carries out activities through a permanent establishment in Indonesia during an Indonesian tax year in which such non-Indonesian entity receives income in respect of the ownership or disposition of Common Stock or ADSs. In determining the residency of an individual or entity, consideration will be given to the provisions of any applicable double taxation treaty to which Indonesia is a party.

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, which, as of the date of this Annual Report is 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

169 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

withhold tax from the proceeds of such sale. To take advantage of the double taxation treaty relief, Non-Indonesian Holders may have to seek a refund from the Indonesian Tax Office by making a specific application accompanied by a Certificate of Residence issued by the competent tax authority, or its designee; of the jurisdiction in which the Non-Indonesian Holder is domiciled.

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

Subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below, 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 provided certain requirements are met. Dividends received from “qualified foreign corporations” generally qualify for the reduced rate. A non-U.S. corporation (other than a PFIC) 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 in effect as of the date of this Annual Report meets the requirements described in clause (i) above and the Company believes that it would be eligible for the benefits of such treaty. In addition, because the ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, an established securities market in the United States, they would under Treasury Department guidelines be considered to be readily tradeable on that exchange. 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 the remaining portion of the distribution is in excess of such basis, that amount 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 exchange 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

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, 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. As of the date of this Annual Report, long-term capital gain of a non-corporate holder is subject to a maximum tax rate of 15% in respect of property with a holding period of more than one year. The deductibility of a capital loss is subject to limitations.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status

Adverse United States federal income tax rules apply to holders of equity interests in a corporation classified as a 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 the average value of its assets determined quarterly for the 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 a PFIC. If the Company is not operated in the manner anticipated as of the date of this Annual Report, 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 certain distributions 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 amounts allocable to 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.

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, and on gain realized with respect to dispositions of, 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, 2004, foreign currency time deposits provided approximately 46% 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 2002, 2003 and 2004 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 2005 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 for the Rupiah portion based on the average for the preceding six months for three month certificates issued by Bank Indonesia plus 1% or based on floating interest rate offered by the lenders plus 5.25% and for the non-Rupiah portion based on floating interest rate offered by the lenders plus 0.5%. See Note 22 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. To the extent interest rates in Indonesia fluctuate significantly, the Company’s interest obligations under its long-term debt could increase.

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, 2004 by the banks where such deposits were located; (ii) variable interest rates on Rupiah denominated long-term liabilities are calculated as of December 31, 2004 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 or based on the average 3-month deposit rate offered by the lenders; (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, 2004; and (iv) the value of marketable securities is based on the value of such securities at December 31, 2004. 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

Table of Contents

(1) Long-term debt consists of loans which are subject to interest; namely two-step loans, notes and bonds, liabilities of business acquisitions and long-term bank loans, in each case including their current maturities. Long-term debt, for the purpose of this table, includes liabilities of business acquisitions.

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 Netherland Guilder. For a description of the Company’s foreign currency assets and liabilities, see Note 54 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.

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, Netherland 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, 2004, applied respectively to monetary assets and liabilities. The buying and selling rates as of December 31, 2004 were Rp.9,280 and Rp.9,300 to US$1, respectively. Telkomsel applied the Bank Indonesia middle buy and sell rate for its monetary asset and liabilities which was Rp.9,290 to US$1.00 as of December 31, 2004. 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.

Equity Price Risk

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.

ITEM 15. CONTROL AND PROCEDURES

In the course of the audit of TELKOM’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 by 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. These errors were identified during the seven-month period ended on January 29, 2004, resulting in TELKOM’s making adjustments during that seven-month period to its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002. Following discussions between TELKOM and 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. These errors were identified during the seven-month period ended on January 29, 2004, resulting in TELKOM’s making adjustments during that seven-month period to its consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001. The identified errors and adjustments made to TELKOM’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 are outlined below.

Restatement of Information Previously Reported

Subsequent to the filing of our consolidated financial statements in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F that was filed with the SEC on April 17, 2003 and Amendment No. 1 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A that was filed with the SEC on June 11, 2003, TELKOM made certain adjustments to the Indonesian GAAP amounts and the related reconciliation with U.S. GAAP amounts previously disclosed for 2000, 2001 and 2002 and prior years which were required to be made pursuant to Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. These adjustments were set forth in Amendment No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A that was filed with the SEC on February 9, 2004 under the heading “Item 5. Restatement of Information Previously Reported.”

Set forth below are the effects of the restatements on the previously reported consolidated net income and stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The corrections of the Indonesian GAAP consolidated financial statements primarily relate to the accounting for long service awards, deferred income taxes, and business acquisitions, as well as the assumptions underlying TELKOM’s post-retirement healthcare plan. Certain additional corrections were required for U.S. GAAP purposes primarily relating to TELKOM’s accounting for revenue recognition, deferred income taxes, revenue sharing arrangements and business acquisitions.

These adjustments were reflected in the restated audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 18 of Amendment No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A and are summarized as follows:

| (i) | Long service awards . TELKOM’s employees are entitled
to receive certain cash awards, such as long service, housing,
transport and other allowances, based on length of service.
Depending on the type of award, they are either paid at the time
an employee reaches a certain anniversary date or upon
termination or retirement if the employee has met the requisite
number of years of service. TELKOM had not previously made
provision for these liabilities and was only accounting for the
awards at the time payments were made to the employees. TELKOM
determined that these awards should have been accounted for
under the accrual method. |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | Post-retirement healthcare benefits . TELKOM provides a
post-retirement healthcare plan for pensioners who were employed
by TELKOM for over 20 years. As described in Notes 2r and
47 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 18 of
Amendment No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A,
these costs are accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP
applying SFAS 106. TELKOM had been recognizing the benefit
obligations and the related benefit costs based on actuarial
calculations. |

TELKOM requested the Company’s actuary to review the actuarial calculations in respect of disclosures for the post-retirement healthcare plan for the years 2000 and 2001. As a consequence of this review, the Company’s actuary in consultation with the Company’s management deemed it necessary to withdraw its original reports and substitute revised reports.

TELKOM determined that the change in actuarial calculations represents the correction of an error and therefore requires retroactive restatement of its 2000 and 2001 financial statements. The Company

179 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

did not previously engage an actuary for 2002 but did so for the purposes of the restated financial statements.

| (iii) | Deferred income taxes . TELKOM identified the need to make
adjustments to correct errors to prior calculations of deferred
income taxes to reflect certain temporary differences between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported
amounts in the consolidated financial statements. TELKOM also
concluded it should remove the deferred tax liability previously
recorded in relation to the undistributed earnings of its
subsidiaries and associates, principally those relating to
Telkomsel, because the Company did not correctly determine the
amount of the temporary difference. (See “Adjustments
related to Stockholders’ Equity” below). |
| --- | --- |
| (iv) | Acquisition accounting . In respect of the acquisition of
Pramindo in August 2002, the Company previously consolidated a
30% interest in Pramindo in accordance with the 30% legal
ownership interest in the shares held by the Company. The
Company had not, however, previously considered other factors
affecting its ability to exercise control over Pramindo and its
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 now considered include, among others, the fact that
the selling 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, 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. (See Note 6b to the consolidated
financial statements for 2000, 2001 and 2002 filed in Amendment
No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A). As a
consequence, the Company determined that consolidation of a 100%
interest in Pramindo from the date of acquisition is appropriate. |

In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Pramindo in August 2002 and Dayamitra in May 2001, TELKOM did not properly allocate the purchase consideration to certain acquired assets. The restated consolidated financial statements for 2001 and 2002 reflect adjustments to record such assets at their fair values as of the date of acquisition and subsequent depreciation thereof.

TELKOM previously presented the consolidation of newly acquired subsidiaries from the beginning of the year of acquisition, consistent with the principles of U.S. GAAP set out in “Accounting Research Bulletin 51: Consolidated Financial Statements”. In 2002, the Company changed the manner in which it presents acquisitions to a presentation starting from the date of acquisition in accordance with PSAK 4. This change did not affect the reported net income in any of the years presented.

The Company also should have reflected an element of this transaction as a transaction between entities under common control (see “Adjustments Related to Stockholders’ Equity” below).

| (v) | Operating revenues . As a result of a review of certain
terms of the revenue sharing agreements and other
telecommunication service agreements, TELKOM determined that
there were certain errors in previous calculations relating to
the amortization of unearned revenue which resulted in a net
overstatement of revenues recorded in the consolidated financial
statements for 2001 and an understatement of such revenue in
2002. |
| --- | --- |
| (vi) | Trade accounts payable . As a result of the reconciliation
of balances with other telephone operators in 2002, TELKOM
determined that there were some errors in trade accounts |

| | payable balances that resulted in an overstatement of the
payables recorded in the consolidated financial statements for
2001 and 2002. |
| --- | --- |
| (vii) | Correction of loan balance . As a result of reconciliation
of outstanding loans at the end of 2002, TELKOM determined that
there was a double recording of a loan balance which had a
corresponding effect of overstating the foreign exchange loss in
the consolidated financial statements for 2002. |
| (viii) | Correction of taxes payable . As a result of
reconciliation of taxes payable at the end of 2002, TELKOM
determined that there was an over-accrual of value-added tax
payable. |
| (ix) | Telkomsel equity transactions . As a result of the sale of
a 12.72% interest in Telkomsel (see Note 1b to the consolidated
financial statements for 2000, 2001 and 2002 filed in Amendment
No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A) in 2002,
an adjustment should have been made to stockholders’ equity
to reflect the realization of a gain in the 2002 statement of
income attributable to past equity transactions in Telkomsel. |
| (x) | Other items . Other adjustments represented individually
insignificant adjustments to correct errors as a result of
understatement of depreciation expenses, understatement of
allowance for doubtful accounts and amortization of deferred
interest and other issues. |
| (xi) | Corporate tax . Certain of the above adjustments also
impacted the corporate tax calculation for the 2001 and 2002 tax
years. As a result, TELKOM reflected the related adjustments to
the corporate tax charge in the restated consolidated financial
statements for the respective years. |

Subsequent event

(xii) AriaWest . Subsequent to the date on which TELKOM issued the 2002 consolidated financial statements, TELKOM settled its dispute with AriaWest. In the previously issued consolidated financial statements for 2002, TELKOM had made provisions against its trade receivables relating to the dispute with AriaWest and recorded Rp.830 billion received from KSO III as “Advances from customers and suppliers” in the balance sheet pending settlement of the dispute. As a result of the settlement, the Company reversed these provisions (see Notes 9 and 56d to the consolidated financial statements for 2000, 2001 and 2002 filed in Amendment No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A), applied the advance received against the outstanding trade receivable and accrued the settlement amount (see Note 56d to the consolidated financial statements for 2000, 2001 and 2002 filed in Amendment No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A).

Adjustments Related to Stockholders’ Equity

| a. | TELKOM incorrectly recorded an adjustment directly to
stockholders’ equity in the previously issued 2002
consolidated financial statements to reverse the deferred tax
liability TELKOM had previously recorded in relation to the
undistributed earnings of Telkomsel. This balance should have
been reversed as part of the accounting for the cross ownership
transactions in 2001 (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial
statements for 2000, 2001 and 2002 filed in Amendment No. 2
to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A) and was adjusted as
part of the corrections to the Company’s deferred tax
accounting referred to in (iii) above. |
| --- | --- |
| b. | At the time TELKOM acquired Pramindo in August 2002, 13% of the
issued and paid up share capital of Pramindo was owned by
Indosat, a company that, at that time, was majority owned and
controlled by the Government, the Company’s major
stockholder. In the previously issued consolidated financial
statements for 2002, the Company did not account for the
acquisition of Pramindo recognizing that a portion of the
transaction was between entities under common control. As a
result, TELKOM made an adjustment as a result of accounting for
the acquisition of 13% of Pramindo as a transaction between
entities under common control by debiting the “Difference
in value from restructuring transactions of |

entities under common control” in stockholders’ equity to reflect the excess of the purchase price over the proportional historical book value of the net assets of Pramindo that were acquired from Indosat.

Reclassifications

Certain accounts were reclassified to conform with Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP presentation requirements. These reclassifications did not affect the net income in the years presented. The following items discuss the significant reclassifications that were made:

| a. | Reclassification of completed constructions in progress of
Rp.765,753 million and advances and other non-current assets of
Rp.83,608 million to fixed assets in 2002. |
| --- | --- |
| b. | Reclassification in 2002 of intangible assets amortization of
Rp.166,721 million (2001: Rp.42,643 million) and
amortization of goodwill of Rp.21,269 million (2001:
Rp.13,066 million) from other charges to operating expenses. |
| c. | Reclassification of other accounts receivable to trade accounts
receivable of Rp.82,174 million in 2002. |
| d. | Reclassification of related party trade accounts receivable to
third party trade accounts receivable of total
Rp.27,677 million in 2002. |
| e. | Reclassification of restricted time deposits from non-current
assets to current assets of Rp.46,027 million in 2002. |
| f. | Reclassification of billing processing fees revenue of Rp.30,359
million from other income to other operating revenue in 2002. |
| g. | Reclassification of restricted time deposits from temporary
investments to other current assets of Rp.500,000 million
in 2002. |
| h. | Reclassification of provision for post-retirement benefits from
accrued expenses of Rp.1,602,494 million in 2002 (2001:
Rp.1,045,525 million). |
| i. | Reclassification in 2002 of revenue of certain subsidiaries from
other income (charges) to operating revenues amounting to
Rp.98,877 million, Rp.144,055 million and
Rp.217,567 million in 2000, 2001 and 2002. |

(b) Changes in U.S. GAAP Information Previously Disclosed

In addition to the restatements to TELKOM’s Indonesian GAAP financial statements as of and for the three years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 described above, TELKOM also made certain adjustments to the previously reported consolidated stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and consolidated net income for the years then ended, that only had an impact on previously reported U.S. GAAP amounts. The total impact of these adjustments on consolidated stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and consolidated net income for the years then ended are presented below.

income presented under U.S. GAAP, except for restatements with respect to revenue sharing arrangements and related deferred taxes. Accordingly, no restatement of stockholders’ equity or net income under U.S. GAAP was required with respect to these items.

(ii) Installation Revenue

TELKOM was required to adopt the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” in 2001, and retroactively apply its provisions as of January 1, 2000. TELKOM did not initially record the full impact of SAB No. 101 on its results. SAB 101 requires TELKOM to defer certain non-recurring fees, such as service activation and installation fees, and recognize those revenues over the expected term of the customer relationship. For 2000, the adjustment presented included an amount which represents the initial impact of adopting SAB 101. For U.S. GAAP purposes this should have been recorded as a cumulative effect of an accounting change.

(iii) Revenue Sharing Arrangements

Based on further review, TELKOM concluded that the accounting provided for the revenue sharing arrangements under Indonesian GAAP required an adjustment to conform to U.S. GAAP. A discussion of the differences in accounting for the revenue sharing arrangements under the respective GAAPs may be found in Note 57(1)d to the consolidated financial statements for 2000, 2001 and 2002 filed in Amendment No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A.

(iv) Deferred Taxes

| As discussed above, the deferred tax liability related to
investments in consolidated subsidiaries was adjusted in the
restated Indonesian GAAP financial statements to conform to SFAS
109. Accordingly, an adjustment was made to eliminate the U.S.
GAAP and Indonesian GAAP difference related to the deferred tax
liability on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and
associates. |
| --- |
| TELKOM also made adjustments in relation to other restated
amounts. |

(v) Acquisition of Dayamitra

The adjustment reflected the U.S. GAAP requirement, as described in Note 57(1) to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2000, 2001 and 2002 filed in Amendment No. 2 to 2002 Annual Report on Form 20-F/ A, to record the Dayamitra acquisition as an acquisition of 100% of the outstanding interest during the year ended December 31, 2001, and the effect of the reversal of foreign exchange capitalized by Dayamitra as the related assets were carried at fair value upon application of purchase accounting.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the audit of TELKOM’s financial statements, reportable conditions (as defined under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) relating to TELKOM’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) were also identified and communicated by PwC in their report dated January 9, 2004 and delivered to TELKOM on January 12, 2004 and discussed by PwC with the Board of Directors on January 14, 2004 and with the Board of Commissioners and TELKOM’s Audit Committee on January 16, 2004 in connection with its audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002, and identified and communicated by KPMG to TELKOM and its Audit Committee on June 29, 2004 and July 14, 2005 in connection with its audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Both PwC and KPMG identified the same material weaknesses as part of their respective audits. Both PwC and KPMG informed TELKOM that they were unable to determine when such material weaknesses first arose, as such material weaknesses appeared to exist prior to the commencement of the respective audit periods for which PwC and KPMG performed audits. As part of their communications, both PwC and KPMG informed the Audit Committee that they had identified “reportable conditions” each of which constituted a “material weakness” (as each such term is defined under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) in TELKOM’s internal control over financial reporting with respect to: (1) inadequate personnel resources with sufficient knowledge and experience in the application of Indonesian GAAP and US GAAP accounting principles because TELKOM did not have sufficient personnel in its accounting department with expertise in applying Indonesian GAAP to complicated accounting issues or in identifying and applying differences in accounting treatments under Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP; (2) deficiencies in the organizational structure of the accounting department, including the oversight function for accounting and financial reporting because there was inadequate management, supervision and review for the accounting functions; (3) inadequate internal processes for the assessment of critical, significant and judgmental accounting areas; accordingly, when a set of facts gave rise to critical or significant accounting issues or raised significant issues of judgment, such issues were not always properly identified, or, even if properly identified, the appropriate experts were not always consulted and issues of judgment were not always elevated to the appropriate level of management or the Audit Committee; and (4) insufficient written policies and procedures for the accounting and financial reporting function, insufficient knowledge of and compliance with, existing policies and procedures among relevant personnel and insufficient emphasis by the internal audit function on the foregoing; in particular, accounting and financial reporting personnel did not have objective written policies and procedures to follow when addressing significant accounting and financial reporting issues and so such issues were not always dealt with in a consistent manner, and the internal audit function did not focus on identifying or identify this issue as well as the other reportable conditions identified herein.

In response to the matters identified by TELKOM’s external auditors, under the supervision of the Audit Committee, in January 2004 TELKOM’s senior management 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 business units through intensive |

advisors on technical matters as they relate to TELKOM’s
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 control over financial reporting, including those needed to enable it to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as its disclosure controls and procedures. TELKOM also prepared on April 7, 2004, an action plan to address the material weaknesses in TELKOM’s internal control over financial reporting identified by PwC and KPMG. The steps set forth in the action plan are specifically aimed at addressing the directives of TELKOM’s senior management described above, as well as enabling TELKOM to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and involve several additional steps which TELKOM intends to take throughout 2005 to address the material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Due to the pending requirements of Section 404 and to address the “material weaknesses” identified by PwC and KPMG, TELKOM has taken a number of steps directly in response to the steps its senior management directed TELKOM to implement, including the following:

(1) an assessment of the organizational structure of the finance department, including to determine additional resources which need to be dedicated to it

competency requirements and the adequacy of the organizational
structure throughout TELKOM, including its finance department.
The assessment, among other things, assisted TELKOM in preparing
a job catalogue and job profile manual that sets out ideal
staffing and job descriptions in the various departments in
TELKOM. |
| --- | --- |
| • | TELKOM, initially with the assistance of E&Y, assessed
thoroughly the organizational structure of its finance
department in 2004. In particular, TELKOM focused on determining
the separation of each function and identifying the personnel in
charge of such function, such personnel’s effectiveness in
performing such function and the need for additional personnel
and expertise in performing such function. Since the assessment,
TELKOM has been and is still in the process of establishing job
descriptions for newly identified functions, searching for
additional accounting and financial reporting personnel and
identifying the appropriate personnel to fill certain of the
positions. |
| • | In 2004, TELKOM carried out a recruitment exercise for fresh
accountancy graduates from a prominent university in Indonesia
and recruited eight persons. In 2005, TELKOM recruited 15 new
employees with either graduate or masters degrees in accounting
to support its financial, accounting, and internal audit
departments. |
| • | In connection with this step (1) and steps (2) and
(3) which TELKOM’s senior management directed TELKOM
to implement, on February 27, 2004, TELKOM added a new
oversight function to its accounting department organization
structure to improve the assessment of critical, significant and
judgmental accounting areas. The new oversight function required
the hiring of consultants for the accounting department
(1) to monitor changes in Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP,
and differences between Indonesian GAAP and US GAAP and
(2) to train TELKOM’s staff accountants, and on
May 1, 2004, TELKOM hired two experienced personnel for
such roles. |

As of the date of this Annual Report, TELKOM had over 200 employees in its accounting department, including 28 full-time employees and two part-time employees based at its head office. In

Table of Contents

addition, TELKOM had 76 full-time employees and one part-time employee in its internal audit department as of the date of this Annual Report.

(2) the enhancement of all finance-related policies and procedures covering accounting and financial reporting; and (3) the improvement of standard documentation requirements for the assessment of critical, significant and judgmental accounting areas

| • | On January 7, 2004, TELKOM established a team comprised of
75 personnel from various departments of TELKOM and chaired by
the vice president of TELKOM’s budget department for the
purpose of preparing TELKOM for the compliance with
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. |
| --- | --- |
| • | In connection with steps (2) and (3) as well as step 1
which TELKOM’s senior management directed TELKOM to
implement, on June 7, 2004, TELKOM retained E&Y, under
the supervision of the Audit Committee, to assist TELKOM in
improving its internal control over financial reporting in two
phases. The first phase included the (i) development of an
internal control framework, including documentation and
evaluation methodology; (ii) establishment of a project
team to conduct the evaluation and implementation;
(iii) evaluation of internal controls;
(iv) identification of internal controls at the various
levels; and (v) preparation of a Director’s Decree on
internal controls. The first phase of this project was completed
at the end of August 2004, and a decree of the Board of
Directors was issued on October 29, 2004 to formally
implement certain internal control policies and procedures. The second phase, which began on November 9, 2004,
included the (i) dissemination of the Directors’ Decree on
internal controls, through sessions to discuss the new internal
controls; (ii) evaluation of information technology-related
general controls; (iii) evaluation and monitoring of the
implementation of the Directors’ Decree on internal
controls, including design of an internal control testing
program; (iv) selection of a software monitoring tool for the
monitoring process. As of the date of this Annual Report, TELKOM
is evaluating the choice of software and has not made a
selection; and (v) a planned benchmarking visit to a
telecommunications company in the United States which has
implemented internal controls in accordance with the
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Since December
2004, to evaluate and monitor the implementation of the
Directors’ Decree on internal controls, TELKOM has
conducted walkthroughs and tests with respect to the
implementation of the new internal controls, and taken remedial
steps where appropriate. The Board of Directors also set up an
internal control integration project on December 14, 2004
to follow up on the integration process of TELKOM’s new
internal controls. Since April 12, 2005, as part of an
extension of the second phase of E&Y’s program to
assist TELKOM in improving its internal control over financial
reporting, TELKOM, with the assistance of E&Y, has also been
reviewing and designing its internal controls and procedures to
ensure compliance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, and strengthening its information
technology-related general controls. |

(3) the improvement of standard documentation requirements for the assessment of critical, significant and judgmental accounting areas

• From April 2004 to June 2004, TELKOM held internal meetings to establish a task force to enhance its finance-related policies and procedures covering accounting and financial reporting. On July 12, 2004, TELKOM formally established such task force with responsibility for enhancing all finance-related policies and procedures covering accounting and financial reporting. The task force collected and reviewed the previously dispersed accounting policies and updated and created new accounting policies. The responsibilities of the team include (i) identifying the accounting policies and the standard operating procedures being applied; (ii) identifying “the best practices” of accounting policies based on Indonesian standards and

189 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

requirements, US GAAP, and IAS; (iii) analyzing the differences between accounting policies being applied and “the best practice”; (iv) preparing a draft of accounting policies and the standard operating procedures, and disseminating it to relevant departments for feedback and comment; and (v) discussing the draft of accounting policies and the standard operating procedures with a GAAP expert; and (vi) preparing a final draft of accounting policies and the standard operating procedures for approval by the Board of Directors. The team prepared a draft for comment in January 2005, and TELKOM expects that the final draft will be completed around or after the end of 2005.

(4) the improvement of understanding of relevant Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP accounting principles and financial reporting responsibilities across all business units through intensive and continuing training and proactive consultations with advisors on technical matters as they relate to TELKOM’s business

| • | Since 2004, TELKOM has implemented a new policy to organize
regular training programs relating to accounting and auditing
matters for all employees in finance-related positions. |
| --- | --- |
| • | TELKOM held seminars in November and December 2003 and November
2004 involving outside consultants and members of the accounting
department at a major Indonesian university, covering relevant
accounting and internal control issues and attended by senior
management and certain accounting and finance-related personnel. |
| • | TELKOM subscribed to a U.S. GAAP information web-site through
E&Y beginning May 2004. |
| • | 25 senior employees from TELKOM’s accounting and
internal audit department will participate in ongoing US GAAP
workshops that will run from June to August 2005 covering topics
relating to the reconciliation of Indonesian GAAP and
US GAAP. These workshops are being held in cooperation with
outside consultants and members of the accounting department at
a major Indonesian university. |

(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

| • | On December 7, 2004, TELKOM modified the mandate of its
internal audit function to place greater emphasis on the
adequacy of and compliance with, procedures relating to internal
control over financial reporting. Under the previous Internal
Audit Charter, each TELKOM division had an internal auditor
which reported to the head of the division. Under the revised
Internal Audit Charter, TELKOM centralized the reporting
function and the division-based internal auditors report to the
Head of the Internal Audit Unit. The Internal Audit Unit reports
directly to the President Director but also works with the Audit
Committee and the external auditor, and, under the revised
charter, is responsible for the assessment of the effectiveness
of internal controls. The charter also provides for the internal
auditor to have free and broad access to TELKOM’s
activities. |
| --- | --- |
| • | In April 2004, TELKOM hired two consultants for a two year
period for its internal audit department with responsibility for
(1) improving the role of internal audit for TELKOM,
(2) improving the internal control system of TELKOM and
(3) reviewing the financial reporting of TELKOM. |
| • | On December 14-16, 2004, all of TELKOM’s employees in
its Internal Audit Unit participated in the 8th Communication
Forum of Internal Audit Group, an internal audit forum which
focused on the application of Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Section 404-based internal controls. |
| • | Since April 12, 2005, as part of an extension of the second
phase of E&Y’s program to assist TELKOM in improving
its internal control over financial reporting, TELKOM, with the |

190 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

assistance of E&Y, has also been assessing the roles and functions of TELKOM’s Internal Audit Unit to ensure compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Additional Steps to Strengthen Disclosure Controls and Procedures

• On December 28, 2004, TELKOM informally established a new disclosure committee and held a meeting among the members of the disclosure committee. The disclosure committee is comprised of 14 senior members from various departments and chaired by the CFO, for purposes of supporting TELKOM’s management in designing and evaluating TELKOM’s disclosure controls and procedures and participating in the disclosure process. TELKOM formally established its disclosure committee on February 18, 2005. Since its formal establishment, the disclosure committee has established internal work procedures relating to the preparation of TELKOM’s annual report on Form 20-F, and participated in the review and preparation of TELKOM’s annual report on Form 20-F. The establishment of the disclosure committee formalized the previous disclosure process where designated senior employees from various departments were responsible for assisting with the necessary disclosures.

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 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of TELKOM’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2004.

In making this evaluation, TELKOM’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer considered matters relating to the restatement of its 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 of the restatement to ensure that all material adjustments necessary to restate such previously issued consolidated financial statements were recorded. TELKOM has also considered the reportable conditions (as defined under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) relating to its internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) as identified by PwC in connection with its audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 and as identified by KPMG in connection with its audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004. TELKOM also considered the various steps, summarized above, that it had taken to strengthen its control processes and procedures since November 2003 and which it is continuing to take.

TELKOM’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded, based on their evaluation, as of December 31, 2004, that, while Telkom has made improvements, because of the “material weaknesses” identified above that continue to exist, the design and operation of TELKOM’s disclosure controls and procedures were not 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, and is accumulated and communicated to TELKOM’s management, including TELKOM’s President Director and Director of Finance, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

E. Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

TELKOM has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures under which all non-audit services provided by its independent public accounting firm must be pre-approved by TELKOM’s audit committee as set forth in the audit committee’s charter. Pursuant to the charter, permissible non-audit

192 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

services may be performed by TELKOM’s independent registered public accounting firm provided that: (a) TELKOM’s Board of Directors must deliver to the Audit Committee (through the Board of Commissioners) a detailed description of the non-audit service that is to be performed by the independent public accounting firm; and (b) the Audit Committee will determine whether the proposed non-audit service will affect the independence of TELKOM’s independent public accounting firm or would give rise to any conflict of interest.

Consistent with Section 10(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act and paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X 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 registered 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.

link1 "ITEM 16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES"

ITEM 16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

In accordance with Indonesian law, the Company has a two-tier board structure, consisting of a Board of Commissioners and a Board of Directors. The executive management functions are carried out by the Board of Directors, while the principal statutory duties of the Board of Commissioners are to supervise the policies of the Board of Directors in the operation and management of the Company and to give advice to the Board of Directors.

Under Jakarta Stock Exchange rules (the “JSX Audit Committee Rule”), TELKOM’s audit committee must consist of at least three members, one of whom must be an Independent Commissioner of TELKOM and concurrently the chairman of the audit committee, while the other two members must be external independent parties of whom at least one such party shall have accounting and/or finance expertise. TELKOM’s audit committee is composed of seven members and is chaired by an Independent Commissioner. Members of Telkom’s audit committee are appointed and dismissed by the Board of Commissioners.

TELKOM relies on the general exemption under Rule 10A-3(c)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to the composition of its audit committee.

TELKOM believes that its reliance on the exemption would not materially adversely affect the ability of the audit committee to act independently. TELKOM believes that the intent of the provision in requiring that each member of the audit committee to be a member of the board of directors or commissioners, as applicable, and to be otherwise independent, is to ensure that the audit committee is independent from influence by management and would provide a forum separate from management in which auditors and other interested parties can candidly discuss concerns. The JSX Audit Committee Rule requires that each member of the audit committee be independent. The JSX Audit Committee Rule goes on to require that at least two of the members, the external independent members, in effect be independent not only of the management but also of the Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors and the Company as a whole. TELKOM therefore believes that the standard established by the JSX Audit Committee Rule is at least equally effective in ensuring the ability of the audit committee to act independently.

The Shareholders, Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors

Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk.:

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years 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 audits. We did not audit the financial statements of PT Telekomunikasi Selular (“Telkomsel”), a 65 percent-owned subsidiary, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003, which financial statements reflect total assets and total revenues constituting 31 percent and 40 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated totals. Those financial 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 2003 amounts included for Telkomsel, including information relating to the nature and effect of differences between accounting principles generally accepted in Indonesia and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2002, were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated January 29, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and auditing standards generally accepted in Indonesia. 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 audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits 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 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years 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 56 to the consolidated financial statements.

Partomuan Pohan, S.H., LLM., among others, to increase the Company’s authorized, issued and fully paid share capital by means of a 2-for-1 stock split. The notarial deed was approved by the Minister of Justice and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia in his decision letter No. C-23270 HT.01.04.TH.2004 dated September 17, 2004, and was published in State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia No. 5 dated January 18, 2005.

Pursuant to 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”). 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. Under Law No. 36/1999 on Telecommunications, 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-distance fixed-line telecommunications services, which initially would expire in December 2010 and December 2005, respectively, was shortened to expire in August 2002 and August 2003, respectively. In return, the Government is required to pay compensation to the Company, the amount of which is to be estimated by an independent appraiser appointed by the Government.

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

(Figures in tables are presented in millions of Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

d. Authorization of the financial statements

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 29, 2005.

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Indonesia (“Indonesian GAAP”). Indonesian 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 56.

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.

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 4b).

(Figures in tables are presented in millions of Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

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”.

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 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 Rp8,430 and Rp8,450 to US$1 as of December 31, 2003, and Rp9,280 and Rp9,300 to US$1 as of December 31, 2004.

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.

(Figures in tables are presented in millions of Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

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 Indonesian Rupiah using

the rates of exchange prevailing at that date, while revenues and expenses are translated into Indonesian 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 Subscriber Identification Module (“SIM”) card, Removable User Identity Module (“RUIM”) card and prepaid voucher blanks.

Cost is determined using the weighted average method for components, SIM card, RUIM 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.

(Figures in tables are presented in millions of Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

Property, plant and equipment, except land, are depreciated using the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings 20
Switching equipment 5–15
Telegraph, telex and data communication equipment 5–15
Transmission installation and equipment 5–20
Satellite, earth station and equipment 3–15
Cable network 5–15
Power supply 3–10
Data processing equipment 3–10
Other telecommunications peripherals 5
Office equipment 3–5
Vehicles 5–8
Other equipment 5

Land is stated at cost and is not depreciated.

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 differences 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

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 on 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.

Under PSAK No. 39, “Accounting for Joint Operation Schemes”, which supersedes paragraph 14 of PSAK No. 35, “Accounting for Telecommunication Services Revenue”, the assets built by the KSO Investors under the Joint Operation Schemes are recorded in the books of the KSO Investors which

o. Deferred charges for landrights

Costs incurred to process and extend the landrights are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the landrights.

Revenues from airtime (for cellular) and monthly subscription charges are recognized as accessed and as earned. Revenues from prepaid card customers, which consist of the sale of starter packs, also known as SIM cards in the case of cellular and RUIM in the case of fixed wireless telephone, and pulse reload vouchers, are recognized as follows:

| 1. | Sale of starter packs is recognized as revenue upon delivery of
the starter packs to distributors, dealers or directly to
customers. |
| --- | --- |

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 average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan, except to the extent that the benefits relate to pensioners which are recognized immediately in the statement of income.

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

i. Long service awards (“LSA”)

The Company’s employees are entitled to receive certain cash awards based on length of service requirement. The benefits are either paid at the time the employee reaches certain anniversary dates during employment, upon retirement or at the time of termination.

The Company’s obligation with respect to LSA is calculated by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

ii. Post-retirement health care plan

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 dependents.

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 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, such as difference in value of restructuring transactions between entities under common control (Note 2d) and effect of foreign currency translation adjustment for certain investments in associated companies (Note 2g. iii), in which case income tax is also charged or credited directly to 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. In connection with the stock split discussed in Note 1b, the prior years’ share and per share amount have been restated to reflect the stock split. Net income per ADS is computed by multiplying basic earnings per share by 40, the number of shares represented by each ADS.

u. Segment information

The Company and its subsidiaries’ segment information is presented based upon identified business segments. A business segment is a distinguishable unit that provides different products and services and is managed separately. Business segment information is consistent with operating information routinely reported to the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

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 No. 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 No. 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 is 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.

x. Reclassification of accounts

Certain accounts in the 2003 balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

3. TRANSLATION OF RUPIAH INTO UNITED STATES DOLLARS

The consolidated financial statements are stated in Indonesian Rupiah. The translations of Indonesian 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 Rp9,290 to US$1 published by Reuters on December 31, 2004. The convenience translations should not be construed as representations that the Indonesian 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. ACQUISITION OF KSO INVESTORS AND KSO IV

a. Dayamitra

On May 17, 2001, the Company acquired 90.32% of the shares of Dayamitra for an aggregate purchase price of US$134.2 million (including consultants’ fees of approximately US$3.3 million or Rp37,325 million). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company paid the initial payment amount of US$18.3 million (Rp206,675 million) on May 17, 2001, the closing date of the transaction, and US$8.9 million (Rp100,989 million) on August 10, 2001 as a post-closing working capital adjustment to the purchase price. The remaining amount of US$103.6 million (Rp1,171,157 million) was paid through an escrow arrangement discussed below, in eight quarterly installments of US$12.9 million, from August 17, 2001 to May 17, 2003. The estimated present value of US$103.6 million at the discount rate of 14% was estimated to be US$89.1 million (Rp1,006,310 million).

The acquisition of Dayamitra has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. This acquisition resulted in the identification of an intangible asset amounting to Rp1,276,575 million representing the right to operate the business in the KSO area. The amount is being amortized over the remaining term of the KSO agreement of 9.6 years (Note 14). There was no goodwill arising from this acquisition.

The Company acquired control of Dayamitra on May 17, 2001 and has consequently consolidated Dayamitra from that date.

The allocation of the acquisition cost for the 90.32% ownership in Dayamitra was as follows:

Purchase consideration — net of discount on promissory notes 1,351,299

(Figures in tables are presented in millions of Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

In connection with the Dayamitra transaction, the Company also entered into the following agreements:

  1. Option Agreement

The Company entered into an Option Agreement with TM Communications (HK) Ltd (“TMC”), providing the Company with an option to acquire the remaining 9.68% equity interest in Dayamitra, referred to as the Option Share. Under the agreement, TMC, the selling stockholder, granted the 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 paid to the selling stockholder the option purchase price of US$6.3 million plus US$1 million as payment for Dayamitra’s adjusted working capital, or a total of US$7.3 million. The amount was payable in eight quarterly installments of US$0.9 million beginning on August 17, 2001 and ending on May 17, 2003. Payments were made through an escrow account established under the Escrow Agreement discussed below. As of December 31, 2003, the option purchase price that had been paid by the Company amounted to US$7.3 million or equivalent to Rp65,458 million and is presented in “Advance payments for investments in shares of stock” in the consolidated balance sheet (Note 4f).

The Company was entitled to exercise the option any time after Dayamitra satisfied all of its obligations under the JBIC (formerly J-Exim) loan beginning on May 17, 2003 and until five business days prior to March 26, 2006. The strike price payable by the Company to the selling stockholder for the Option Shares upon exercise of the option was US$16.2 million less certain amounts that are stipulated in the Option Agreement.

Dayamitra repaid the JBIC loan and the JBIC loan agreement was terminated on March 25, 2003.

On December 14, 2004, the Company exercised the option by entering into a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire TMC’s 9.68% outstanding shares in Dayamitra with the strike price of US$16.2 million which the payment will be due on March 26, 2006. Payment of the strike price will be made through an escrow account established under the Escrow Agreement discussed below. The Company is required to deposit US$12.6 million (representing the strike price of US$16.2 million less funds available in the escrow account on November 30, 2004 of US$2.4 million and withholding tax of US$1.2 million) in sixteen monthly installments of US$0.8 million beginning on December 26, 2004 through March 26, 2006.

The purchase price for 9.68% outstanding shares of Dayamitra was US$22.1 million or equivalent to Rp203,028 million which represents the present value of the option strike price (US$16.2 million) using a discount rate of 7.5% at the acquisition date plus the option purchase price (US$6.3 million) and payment for Dayamitra’s adjusted working capital (US$1 million). This additional acquisition resulted in intangible assets of Rp231,477 million. The amount is being amortized over the remaining term of the KSO agreement of 6 years (Note 14). There was no goodwill arising from this additional acquisition. Had this acquisition taken place on January 1 of the previous year, consolidated income would not have been significantly different from the reported amounts.

As of December 31, 2004, the remaining option strike price to be paid to TMC, before unamortized discount, amounted to US$15.0 million (Rp139,752 million) and is presented as “Liabilities of business acquisitions” (Note 25).

  1. Escrow Agreement

An Escrow Agreement dated May 17, 2001, was entered into by and among the Company, Dayamitra, PT Intidaya Sistelindomitra (“Intidaya”), Cable and Wireless plc (“C&W plc”), PT Mitracipta Sarananusa (“Mitracipta”), TMC, Tomen Corporation (“Tomen”), Citibank N.A. Singapore (the Singapore Escrow Agent) and Citibank N.A. Jakarta (the Jakarta Escrow Agent), to establish an Escrow Account and facilitate the payment (Note 15).

b. Pramindo

On April 19, 2002, the Company and the stockholders of Pramindo, namely France Cables et Radio SA, PT Astratel Nusantara, Indosat, Marubeni Corporation, International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) and NMP Singapore Pte. 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 was transferred to Telkom in 3 (three) specific tranches on September 15, 2002 — 30%, September 30, 2003 — 15% and on December 31, 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 Company thereby acquired the right to nominate all of the members of the Board of Directors and Board of Commissioners of Pramindo. The SVA is subject to certain reserve matters which serve as protective rights to the Selling Stockholders.

The aggregate purchase price amounted to US$390.3 million (Rp3,464,040 million) plus Rp250,000 million, represented by an initial payment of approximately US$9.3 million (Rp82,218 million), consultants’ fees of US$5.9 million (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$375.1 million, of which the present value at the discount rate of 8.76% at the effective date of the acquisition was estimated to be US$332.8 million (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

| Difference in value for 100% ownership | 2,277,216 |
| Difference adjusted to stockholders’ equity for

c. AWI

Effective on July 31, 2003 (the “closing date”), the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of AWI, the investor in KSO III, for approximately Rp1,141,752 million plus the assumption of AWI’s debts of Rp2,577,926 million. The purchase consideration included non-interest bearing promissory notes with a face value of US$109.1 million (Rp927,272 million), of which the present value at the discount rate of 5.16% at the closing date was estimated to be US$92.7 million (Rp788,322 million). The promissory notes are to be paid in 10 equal semi-annual installments beginning July 31, 2004.

transferred to the Company, where KSO IV is operated under
the management, supervision, control and responsibility of the
Company. |

telecommunication facilities and payments of operating expenses
incurred in KSO IV are assigned to the Company. |

inventories shall be transferred to the Company at no cost. |

(“MTR”) and share in Distributable KSO Revenues
(“DKSOR”) under the original KSO agreement were
amended so that MGTI receives fixed monthly payments
(“Fixed Investor Revenues”) beginning in February 2004
through December 2010 totaling US$517.1 million and the
Company is entitled to the balance of KSO revenues net of
operating expenses and payments to MGTI for Fixed Investor
Revenues. In addition, payments for Fixed Investor Revenues must
be made to MGTI before any payments can be made to the Company. |
| • | In the event funds in KSO IV are insufficient to pay Fixed
Investor Revenues to MGTI, the Company is required to pay the
shortfall to MGTI. |

As a result of the amendment of the KSO agreement, the Company obtained the legal right to control financial and operating decisions of KSO IV. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for this transaction as a business combination using the purchase method of accounting.

The purchase price for this transaction was approximately US$390.7 million or equivalent to Rp3,285,362 million which represents the present value of fixed monthly payments (totaling US$517.1 million) to be paid to MGTI beginning in February 2004 through December 2010 using a discount rate of 8.3% plus direct cost of the business combination.

h. PT Mandara Selular Indonesia (“Mobisel”)

Mobisel is engaged in providing mobile cellular services and related facilities. These services were previously provided by the Company under a revenue-sharing arrangement with PT Rajasa Hazanah Perkasa (“RHP”). The capital contribution made by the Company of Rp10,398 million represented a 25% equity ownership in Mobisel.

As of December 31, 2002, the value of investment has been reduced to nil because the Company’s share of loss exceeded the carrying amount of investment in Mobisel.

On July 28, 2003, Mobisel’s stockholders agreed to a restructuring program which included a debt to equity conversion of Mobisel’s interconnection payables to the Company, and an equity investment by a new stockholder. The debt conversion was completed in August 2003 which resulted in dilution of the Company’s interest to 7.44%.

In January 2004, the Company’s ownership interest was further diluted to 6.4% following the debt to equity conversion of Mobisel’s debt to PT Property Java, Boston Investment Limited and Inquam (Indonesia) Limited Company.

i. PT Telekomindo Seluler Raya (“Telesera”)

In 2001, the Minister of Justice and Human Rights approved the corporate restructuring of PT Telekomindo Primabhakti (“Telekomindo”), an associated company engaged in the construction and development of telecommunications facilities. Pursuant to the restructuring, Telekomindo’s authorized and paid-up capital was reduced and the capital reduction became the paid-up capital of two new companies: PT Telekomindo Media Informatika (“TMI”) and PT Griya Insani Primabhakti (“GIP”).

Based on a share-swap agreement dated December 5, 2001 among the Company, PT Rajawali Corporation (“RC”), Telekomindo and TMI, the parties agreed on the following:

| • | The Company sold its investments in Telekomindo, TMI and GIP to
RC for Rp101,838 million. |
| --- | --- |
| • | TMI sold its investments in PT Telekomindo Selular Raya
(“Telesera”) and the fixed assets of PT Multisaka
Mitra (“MSM”) to the Company for Rp87,907 million
and Rp17,442 million, respectively. |

This transaction resulted in the Company owning 69.77% shares of Telesera as of December 31, 2001. In 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 30.23% interest in Telesera from Dana Pensiun Telkom for Rp38,093 million.

k. PT Menara Jakarta (“MJ”)

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$375.0 million (“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

The net deferred tax liabilities of subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 included deferred tax assets of Rp239,501 million arising from tax loss carryforwards amounting to Rp798,337 million. The subsidiaries’ tax loss carryforwards of Rp160,196 million and Rp638,141 million will expire in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon profitable operations. Although realization is not assured, the Company and its subsidiaries believe that it is probable that these deferred tax assets will be realized through the reduction of future taxable income. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced if actual future taxable income is lower than estimated.

the construction and maintenance of the J-S Cable System. The
Parties have formed a management committee which consists of a
chairman and one representative from each of the Parties to
direct the construction and operation of the cable system. The
construction of the cable system was completed in 1998. In

| ii. Indefeasible Right of Use Agreement |
| On September 21, 2000, Telkomsel entered into agreement
with Indosat on the use of SEA — ME —
WE 3 and tail link in Jakarta and Medan. In accordance with
the agreement, Telkomsel was granted an indefeasible right to
use certain capacity of the Link starting from
September 21, 2000 until September 20, 2015 in return
for an upfront payment of US$2.7 million. In addition to
the upfront payment, Telkomsel is also charged annual operating
and maintenance costs amounting to US$0.1 million. |
| Pursuant to the expiration of the agreement between Telkomsel
and Indosat with regard to the provision of international
telecommunication services to GSM mobile cellular customers, in
April 2004 Telkomsel and Indosat entered into an interim
agreement. Under the terms of the interim agreement, Telkomsel
receives 27% of the applicable tariff for outgoing international
calls from Telkomsel subscribers and Rp800 per minute for
incoming international calls to Telkomsel subscribers. The
interim agreement is effective from March 1, 2004 until
such date that Telkomsel and Indosat enter into a new agreement. |
| The Company and its subsidiaries earned net interconnection
revenues from Indosat (including IM3 and Satelindo) of
Rp950,687 million and Rp235,655 million in 2002 and
2003, respectively, reflecting 4.6% and 0.9% of total operating

previously leased to Telekomindo. Based on the transfer
agreement, Satelindo is given the right to use the land for
30 years and can apply for the right to build properties
thereon. The ownership of the land is retained by the Company.
Satelindo agreed to pay Rp43,023 million to the Company for
the thirty-year right. Satelindo paid Rp17,210 million in
1994 and the remaining Rp25,813 million was not paid
because the Utilization Right (“Hak Pengelolaan
Lahan”) on the land could not be delivered as provided in
the transfer agreement. In 2000, the Company and Satelindo
agreed on an alternative solution resulting in which the payment
is treated as a lease expense up to 2006. In 2001, Satelindo
paid an additional amount of Rp59,860 million as lease
expense up to 2024. As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, the
prepaid portion is shown in the consolidated balance sheets as

49. 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. |

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:

| 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 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 4c).

KSO IV

Effective on January 20, 2004, the Company and PT Mitra Global Telekomunikasi Indonesia (“MGTI”, KSO Investor) have amended their joint operation agreement with respect to the KSO area. Upon the amendment, the Company gained full control over the operation of KSO Unit IV (Note 4d).

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.

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, 2002, 2003 and 2004 were Rp3,586,000 million, Rp2,769,530 million and Rp1,250,945 million, respectively.

50. REVENUE-SHARING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has entered into separate agreements with several investors under Revenue-Sharing Arrangements (“RSA”) to develop fixed lines, public card-phone booths (including their maintenance) and related supporting telecommunications facilities.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company has 76 RSA with 59 partners. The RSA were located mostly in Palembang, Pekanbaru, Jakarta, Central Java and Surabaya with concession period ranging from 4 to 176 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.

Generally, 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.

The net book value of property, plant and equipment under RSA which have been transferred to property, plant and equipment amounted to Rp34,828 million and Rp53,589 million in 2003 and 2004, respectively (Note 12).

The investors’ share of revenues amounted to Rp636,985 million, Rp442,633 million and Rp891,165 million in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

51. 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.

Fixed Line Telephone Tariffs

Fixed line telephone tariffs are imposed for network access and usage. Access charges consist of a one-time installation charge and a monthly subscription charge. Usage charges are measured in pulses 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.

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 charged to a cellular subscriber are the same as
the prevailing tariffs for domestic long-distance call
(“SLJJ”) applied to PSTN subscribers. |

b. Agreements on Derivative Transactions

Telkomsel is exposed to market risks, primarily changes in foreign exchange, and uses derivative instruments in connection with its risk management activities. Telkomsel entered into derivative transactions for the purpose of hedging and not for trading purposes. However, the existing documentation does not fulfill the criteria contained in PSAK 55 to qualify as hedges. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Telkomsel purchases equipment from several countries and, as a result, is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. In 2003 and 2004, Telkomsel entered into forward foreign exchange contracts with Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and Citibank Jakarta to protect against foreign exchange risk relating to its foreign currency denominated purchases. The primary purpose of Telkomsel’s foreign currency hedging activities is to protect against the volatility associated with foreign currency purchases of equipment and other assets in the normal course of business.

53. 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 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 Rp99 million at December 31, 2004.

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 sought to recover approximately Rp7,840,000 million in damages from the Defendants. The court decided in the Defendant’s favor and KAP Eddy Pianto appealed. On March 9, 2005, KAP Eddy Pianto withdrew its appeal and on March 14, 2005, the District Court granted its request to withdraw its appeal.

d. On August 13, 2004, the Commissions for Business Competition Watch (Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha, “KPPU”) issued its verdict in Commission Court, which determined that the Company had breached several articles of Law No. 5/1999 on Anti Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition (“Competition Law”). In addition, KPPU also indicated that the Company should allow Warung Telkom (“kiosks”) to channel international calls to other international call operators, and abolish the clause in agreements between the Company and Warung Telkom providers which limit Warung Telkom to sell telecommunication services of other operators. The Company filed an appeal to the Bandung District Court which on December 7, 2004, issued its verdicts in favor of the Company. Subsequently, KPPU has filed an appeal to the Indonesian Supreme Court.

interested and eligible employees. As of March 15, 2005, the Company has accepted and approved 1,016 employees eligible for the early retirement program. The entire early retirement benefits cost of Rp734,981 million was paid in April 2005.

  1. 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 ceases when 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 minimum limit (i.e. 12-month requirement) 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.

DECEMBER 31, 2002, 2003 AND 2004

(Figures in tables are presented in millions of Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

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 revenue-sharing arrangements are recorded in a manner similar to capital leases where the fixed assets and obligation under revenue-sharing arrangements are reflected on the balance sheet. All the revenues generated from the revenue-sharing arrangements are recorded as a component of operating revenues, while a portion of the investors’ share of revenue from the revenue-sharing arrangements is recorded as interest expense and the balance is treated as a reduction of the obligation under revenue-sharing arrangements.

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 has been no difference in equity since 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 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.

For U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, the Company recognizes the effect of the differences between U.S. GAAP and Indonesian GAAP at the investee level 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 land rights is amortized over the economic useful life which represents the contractual period of 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 recognized when the Company sells the card.

Under U.S. GAAP, revenue from front-end fees and incremental costs up to, but not exceeding such fees, are deferred and recognized over the expected term of the customer relationship. 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.

(Figures in tables are presented in millions of Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

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.

m. Acquisition of Dayamitra

On May 17, 2001 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 since May 17, 2001.

On December 14, 2004 the Company exercised the option to acquire the 9.86% interest in Dayamitra.

Under Indonesian GAAP, prior to December 14, 2004, the Company accounted for the remaining 9.68% of Dayamitra as minority interest. In addition, the option price that has been paid by the Company was presented as “Advance payments for investments in shares of stock.” The Company started consolidating the remaining 9.68% of Dayamitra on December 14, 2004 following the exercise of the option.

The difference in the timing of the 9.68% ownership interest recognition gives rise to differences in the timing and amounts of purchase consideration and liability recognized under Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

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.

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. The Company and its subsidiaries identified their Asset Retirement Obligations by reviewing contractual agreements to identify whether the Company and its subsidiaries are required to settle any obligations as a result of the prevailing laws, statute, ordinance, written or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine of promissory estoppel.

p. Deferred Income Taxes

Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company does not recognize deferred taxes on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of equity method investments when it is not probable that these differences will reverse in the foreseeable future.

Under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxes are recognized in full on temporary 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 asset 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 are 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 Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment

Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company classifies gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment as a component of other income (expense) which is excluded from determination of operating income.

Under U.S. GAAP, gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment is classified as a component of operating expenses and hence included in the determination of operating income. For

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 9.63%, and 8.04%, the average U.S. Dollar borrowing rate of 1.21% and 2.23%, and the respective average borrowing rates for 2003 and 2004 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, 2004 would decrease by Rp217,340 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 liabilities of business acquisitions are 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:

(Figures in tables are presented in millions of Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

The measurement date used to determine pension and health care benefit measures for the pension plan and the health care plan is December 31 for each of the years.

The assumptions used by the independent actuary to determine the benefit obligation and net periodic benefit cost of the plans as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 were as follows:

2002 2003 2004 2002 2003 2004
Discount rate 13 % 11 % 11 % 13 % 11 % 11 %
Expected long-term return on plan assets 13 % 11 % 10.5 % 13 % 11 % 8 %
Rate of compensation increase 6 % 8 % 8 % — — —

Assumed health care cost trend rates at December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 are as follow:

Health care cost trend assumed for next year 14% 12% 12%
Rate to which the cost trend is assumed to decline (the ultimate
trend rate) 10% 8% 8%
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate 2005 2006 2007

The actuarial valuations for the defined benefit pension plan and post-retirement health care plan as of December 31, 2002 were prepared on February 28, 2003 and January 15, 2004, respectively, by an independent actuary, while the actuarial valuations for those plans as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 were prepared on May 21, 2004 and March 15, 2005, respectively, by an independent actuary.

Discount rate is based on the yields available on Government Bond, i.e. 10% – 12% for Bonds maturing between 2008 and 2013. The rate of compensation increase assumed is based on long-term inflation of the order of 6% – 7%. The expected long-term return on plan assets is based on the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested.

Assumed health care cost trends have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plan. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

Point Increase Point Decrease
Effect on total of service and interest cost components 128,311 (99,603 )
Effect on post-retirement benefit obligation 916,961 (720,657 )

f. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 151 “ Inventory Cost — an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 .” In November 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 151 which requires certain abnormal expenditures to be recognized as expenses in current period. It also requires that the amount of fixed production overhead allocated to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 shall be effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. It is not expected that the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 153 “ Exchanges of Nonmonetary Asset — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 .” In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 153, which shall be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 153 requires that exchanges of productive assets be accounted for at fair value unless fair value can not be reasonably determined or the transaction lacks commercial substance. It is not expected that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
