On December 31, 2008, the last trading day in 2008 on the NYSE, the closing price for an ADS was U.S.$25.01 on the NYSE. On December 31, 2008, the last trading day in 2008 on the LSE, the closing price for an ADS was U.S.$25.01 on the LSE.
Markets
Our Common Stock is listed on the IDX, the principal non-U.S. trading market for our Common Stock. In addition, our ADSs are listed on the NYSE and the LSE. One ADS represents 40 shares of Common Stock. Our Common Stock has also been publicly offered without listing in Japan.
The Indonesian Securities Market and Overview of the IDX
Historically, there were two stock exchanges in Indonesia. The primary market was the Jakarta Stock Exchange, located in Jakarta and the other was the Surabaya Stock Exchange, located in Surabaya, East Java. On December 1, 2007, these exchanges merged and formed the Indonesia Stock Exchange or “IDX”. On December 31, 2008, the IDX had an aggregate equity market capitalization of Rp.1,076.5 trillion and total trading value of Rp.1,064.5 trillion in 2008.
As of December 31, 2008, the IDX is comprised of 122 member brokerage firms. Trading rules on the IDX are established in the form of decisions by the IDX. There are two daily trading sessions for the regular market and the negotiated market (as further discuss below) from Monday through Thursday. The morning session runs from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., followed by an afternoon session from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. There are two trading sessions on Friday, one from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and the second from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. There is only one daily cash market trading session: Monday to Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

The trading of securities is divided into three segments: regular market; negotiated market; and cash market (except for right issues, which may be traded only in the cash and negotiated market). The regular market is the mechanism for trading stock in standard lots on a continuous auction market basis during exchange hours. Regular market and cash market trading are generally carried out in unit lots of 500 shares. The IDX employs share price movement restrictions, or circuit breakers.
Auctioning takes place according to price 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).
Negotiated market trading is carried out by negotiation between (i) members of IDX, (ii) clients through one IDX member, (iii) a client and any IDX member or (iv) an IDX member with Indonesian Clearing Guarantee Corporation (Kliring Penjaminan Efek Indonesia) (“KPEI”).
Transactions on the IDX regular market must 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 and the buying exchange members, on a case by case basis. Transactions on the IDX cash market are required to be settled on the actual trading day. 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 IDX. An exchange member is obliged to pay a transaction cost, and any delay in the payment of the transaction cost will be subject to a fine of 1.0% of the outstanding amount for each day of delay. IDX may impose sanctions for violations of exchange rules on exchange member firms including a fine, a written warning, suspension or revocation of licenses.
All transactions involving IDX-listed shares using the services of brokers must be conducted on the IDX. Trades other than block trades must be effected and settled through the facilities of the IDX. Short selling is prohibited. The IDX may cancel a transaction upon proof of fraud, market manipulation or the misuse of insider information. The IDX may suspend trading if there are indications of fraudulent transactions or artificial inflation of share prices, misleading information, misuse of inside information, counterfeit securities, securities blocked from trading or any other material event. The IDX may suspend trading of certain securities or certain members of the exchange.
Members of the IDX charge a brokerage fee for transaction execution, based on agreement with their client, up to a maximum of 1.0% of the transaction value. When conducting share transactions on the IDX, 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 Rp.2 million per month minimum as contribution for the provision of stock exchange’s facilities (which continues to apply for IDX 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. 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 that the issuer or a securities administration bureau appointed by the issuer to register their shares in the registry of shareholders. Reports of share ownership to Badan Pengawas Pasar Modal dan Lembaga Keuangan, the Indonesia Capital Market and Financial Institution Supervisory Agency (“Bapepam-LK”), is mandatory for shareholders whose ownership has reached or changed by 5.0% or more of issued and fully paid up capital, upon meeting such share ownership level or upon changes of such ownership.
Anticipating larger than usual share price fluctuations in the wake of the deteriorating global financial situation in the last quarter of 2008, the IDX deemed it necessary to amend the auto rejection scheme, the mechanism whereby shares are automatically halted from trading

13


Table of Contents

to maintain orderly, proper and efficient trading. Following changes made in October 2008 and January 2009 by the IDX, the auto rejection triggering levels are set at 35% above or below the reference price for stocks in the Rp.50-200 price range, 25% for stocks priced above Rp.200 and up to Rp.5,000 and 20% for stocks priced above Rp.5,000.
Trading on the NYSE and LSE
The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly the Bank of New York) serves as Depository (“Depository”) with respect to the ADSs traded on the NYSE and the LSE. Each ADS represents 40 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2008, 51,065,550 ADSs were outstanding and there were 136 registered holders of ADSs.

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES
Our relationship with the Government is multi-faceted. The Government is our majority and controlling shareholder; our regulator and, as such, adopts, administers and enforces relevant laws that set tariffs; our licenses provider; and one of our customers.
As used in this section, the term “Government” includes the Government of Indonesia and its ministries, directly-owned government departments and agencies, but excludes state-owned enterprises.
Government as Shareholder
As of December 31, 2008, the Government held 52.47% of our Common Stock and the single Dwiwarna Share, which carries special voting rights.
Under relevant law, the “ownership” of our Common Stock and the single outstanding Dwiwarna Share is vested in the Ministry of Finance (“MoF”). In turn, and under the authority of the MoF, the State Minister of State-owned Enterprise (“SMSOE”) exercises the rights vested in these securities as the “controlling shareholder” of TELKOM.
As our majority shareholder, the Government is interested in our performance both in terms of the benefits we provide to the nation as well as our ability to operate on a commercial basis. The material rights and restrictions in the Common Stock are also found in the Dwiwarna Share, except that the Government may not transfer the Dwiwarna Share and 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 of Association, including actions to merge or dissolve us, increase or decrease our authorized capital, or reduce our subscribed capital. Accordingly, the Government has effective control over these matters even if it beneficially owns 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 so amended, which would require the consent of the Government as holder of that Dwiwarna Share. See Note 2c to our consolidated financial statements.
It is our policy not to enter into transactions with affiliates unless the terms are no less favorable to the Company than those that could be obtained by the Company on an arm’s-length basis from a third party. The SMSOE has advised the Company that it would 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.
Under Bapepam-LK regulations, because we are IDX listed, any transaction in which there is a conflict of interest (as defined below) concerning another IDX-listed company must be approved by a majority of

15


Table of Contents

shareholders of Common Stock who do not have a conflict in the proposed transaction, unless the conflict existed before listing and was fully disclosed in the offering documents.
A conflict of interest is defined in Bapepam—LK regulations to mean the difference between the Company’s economic interests and shareholders’ interests, on the other side of the personal economic interests of the members of the Board of Commissioners (“BoC”), the Board of Directors (“BoD”) or principal shareholders (a holder of 20% or more of the issued shares) and their respective affiliates in form of combination or separate entity. A conflict of interest also exists when members of our BoC, BoD or a principal shareholder or their respective affiliates are involved in a transaction in which their personal interests may be in conflict with ours. The Bapepam—LK is empowered to enforce this rule. Our shareholders may also be entitled to bring suit for a conflict of interest violation.
Under Bapepam—LK regulations, transactions between us and other state-owned companies or controlled enterprises also constitute a “conflict of interest”. In this case, the approval of disinterested shareholders would have to be obtained when a conflict of interest arises. We believe that many transactions conducted with state-owned or controlled enterprises in the ordinary course of their businesses and our business are on an arm’s-length, commercial basis and do not constitute “conflict of interest” transactions for which a disinterested shareholder vote would be required. Such transactions might include our sale of telephone services to state-owned or controlled enterprises or our purchase of electricity from a state-owned enterprise. We expect, however, in light of the substantial presence of enterprises owned or controlled by the Government, through the MoF, SMSOE or one of its affiliates in Indonesia, it may be desirable, in connection with the development and growth of our business, for us to enter into joint ventures, arrangements or transactions with such enterprises from time to time. Under such circumstances, we may consult Bapepam—LK to determine whether the proposed joint venture, arrangement or transaction would require a vote of disinterested shareholders. If Bapepam—LK were of the view that this would not require such a vote, we would proceed without seeking disinterested shareholders approval. However, if the Bapepam took the position that the proposal did require such a vote, we would seek the requisite approval or abandon the proposal.
Government as Regulator
The Government regulates the telecommunications sector through the Ministry of Communications and Information (“MoCI”). The MoCI has the authority to issue decrees implementing laws that are typically broad in scope. The MoCI has considerable latitude in implementing, administering and enforcing regulatory policy. Pursuant to such decrees, the MoCI defines the industry structure, determines the tariff formula, determines our Universal Service Obligations (“USOs”) and otherwise controls many factors that may affect our competitive position, operations and financial condition. Through the Director General Post and Telecommunications (“DGPT”), the MoCI regulates frequency allocation and sets numbers for fixed telephone lines. We are required to obtain a license from the DGPT for each of our services as well as the frequencies that we use (as allocated by MoCI). We and other operators are also required to pay for frequency usage fees. Telkomsel also holds several licenses issued by the MoCI (some of which were previously issued by the MoC) for the provision of 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 network coverage. The Government, through the MoCI as regulator, has the authority to grant new licenses for the establishment of new joint ventures and other arrangements, particularly in telecommunications.
Certain of these licenses require TELKOM to pay a concession fee to operate. We pay concession fees for telecommunication services provided and radio frequency usage charges to the MoCI. Concession fees amounted to Rp.497.9 billion, Rp.587.8 billion and Rp.632.5 billion (U.S.$58.0 million) in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Concession fees represented 1.7%, 1.8% and 1.6% of total operating expenses in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Radio frequency usage charges amounted to Rp.722.6 billion, Rp.1,138.5 billion and Rp.2,400.3 billion (U.S.$220 million) in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Radio frequency usage charges represented 2.4%, 3.5% and 6.2% of total operating expenses in 2006, 2007 and 2008,

16


Table of Contents

respectively. We paid USO charges to the MoCI, which amounted to Rp.383.8 billion, Rp.438.5 billion and Rp.462.5 billion (U.S.$42 million) in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, reflecting 1.3%, 1.3% and 1.2% of total operating expenses in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
A table setting forth the licenses that we hold and the bases for each is provided on page 41.
Government as Lender
In July 1994, the Government arranged a facility under which certain non-Indonesian institutions provided TELKOM (via the Government) with funds (“sub-loan borrowings”) as “two-step loans” for certain expenditures. The sub-loan borrowings are guaranteed by the Government. As of December 31, 2008, “two-step loans” amounting to Rp.4,440.1 billion (U.S.$407.4 million), including current maturities, were outstanding. We are obligated to pay the Government interest and principal repayment that is subsequently remitted by the Government to the respective lenders. As of December 31, 2008, 72.6% of such two-step loans were denominated in currencies other than the Rupiah. The remaining 27.4% of such loans are denominated in Rupiah. In 2008, the annual interest rates charged on loans repayable in Rupiahs range from 9.27% to 12.27%, on those repayable in U.S. Dollars range from 4.00% to 6.67%, and on the loan repayable in Japanese Yen is 3.10%.
Governmental Departments and Agencies as Customers of TELKOM
Certain Government departments and agencies, excluding state-owned enterprises, purchase services from us as direct customers, the terms of which are negotiated on a commercial basis. No services are provided for free or on an in-kind basis. The Company deals with these departments and agencies as separate customers. In 2008, the total amount of revenues from Government departments and agencies was Rp.1,045 billion, which was less than 2% of our operating revenue and did not constitute a material part of our operating revenues. The Government departments and agencies are treated for tariff purposes in respect to connection charges and monthly charges as “residential,” which tariffs are lower than the business service rates. This does not apply to the tariffs for local, long distance and IDD calls.
Other
Proportion of Common Stock held in Indonesia and outside Indonesia
As of December 31, 2008, there were 35,883 registered shareholders, including the Government, of our Common Stock. This included 5,975,864,882 shares of Common Stock held by 933 registered shareholders outside Indonesia.
As of December 31, 2008, there were 136 registered holders of our ADSs holding a total of 51,065,550 ADSs (equal to 2,042,622,016 shares of Common Stock). The ADSs are listed on the NYSE and the LSE.
Change in Control
There are no arrangements that are known to us that would result in change of our control.
Related party transactions
We are party to certain agreements and engage in transactions with a number of entities that are related to us, such as joint venture companies, cooperatives and foundations, as well as the Government and entities that are related to or owned or controlled by the Government, such as state-owned entities. See Note 45 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on our related party information.
Purchases of Equity Securities By the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
As of December 31, 2008, 490,574,500 shares of Common Stock were purchased under our three stock repurchase plans. This consisted of 118,376,500 shares in 2006, 126,364,000 shares in 2007 and 245,834,000 shares in 2008. Under the third repurchase plan, which began on July 1, 2008 and is not yet completed, the maximum number of shares that may yet be repurchased is 339,443,313.
The following table sets forth certain information concerning purchases of Common Stock by TELKOM for the second and third repurchase plans.

ALIGNING OUR STRENGTHS: THE TELKOM GROUP IN 2008
With a diverse portfolio of more than nine companies operating in the fixed phone, cellular, application, content, data communication, property and construction businesses, the TELKOM Group is one of the country’s strongest state-owned enterprises. We accounted for Rp.139,104 billion of market capitalization on the IDX at the end of 2008.
An increasingly aligned TELKOM Group is drawing on the considerable strengths and competencies of each unit to support a growing presence in the “new wave” business. In recent years, TELKOM has intensified efforts to align all of these wide-ranging interests to create a synergy that will drive the Group toward its stated aim of becoming a Telecommunication, Information, Media and “Edutainment” Based Services (“TIME”) company. An important step was taken in 2007 in the appointment of TELKOM’s Directors to positions on the Board of Commissioners of the most strategic Group subsidiary and affiliated companies. As a result, the management of TELKOM gained an intimate knowledge of each of the businesses. This has contributed to a strengthened vision of how Group companies fit and how the potential of each can be coordinated to enhance the competitive power of the Group as a whole. In 2008, we began to move as an increasingly cohesive organization towards a shared strategic goal: sustainable growth by strengthening our legacies and building new wave revenue.
A good example of our newly energized synergy is TELKOM’s triple play, which was launched on August 17, 2008. This innovative communications solution draws on the competencies of several of our subsidiaries, particularly TELKOMVision, as a content provider. In our other businesses, we developed smarter marketing strategies to ensure that our products are positioned to complement each other while competing effectively against same-category competitors.
These synergies will come increasingly into play as we move to accelerate the growth of our new wave business, by focusing on managing broadband, IT services, digital business and content. At the heart of TELKOM’s vision for the future is the deployment of Next Generation Network (“NGN”) infrastructure, “new wave” technology that will pave the way for a nationwide migration to high-speed, full mobility, on-demand access to voice, internet and multimedia services. INSYNC (“Indonesia Synchronized”) 2014 sets out a roadmap towards this vision of IP-based convergence, which we believe will, within the next five years, enable a vastly expanded range of corporate and retail solutions.
As we leverage our presence in the digital arena, we are strengthening TELKOM’s synergy through a transformation of our organizational structure and culture. Streamlining functions, optimizing the use of IT and enabling a more rational match-up of people, competencies and job demands across the Group are integral elements of TELKOM’s transition from an InfoComm group to a fully-fledged TIME operator.

CONNECTING YOU TO EXCELLENCE: MARKETING AND CUSTOMER SERVICE INITIATIVES IN 2008
TELKOM is in the final phase of a transformation that will facilitate the convergence of our businesses and deliver a stronger guarantee of customer satisfaction. Through better coordination and the integration of product management and service delivery, we are working to improve the overall quality of TELKOM’s services through INFUSION 2008—a comprehensive business transformation driven by enhanced IT and operating systems, more integrated processes, higher quality products and services and superior deliverables.
INFUSION 2008 helps us leverage the synergies among customer systems, network management systems and billing systems. For corporate and retail customers alike, this means greater convenience and security. We can offer superior service level agreements and service assurances through i-Sure, our integrated service assurance center, multiple service payments through single billing statements and personalized and customized services based on strong Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) capabilities. These initiatives show a positive impact on our interactions with customers and suppliers.
As the transformation of our legacy, wireless and broadband networks shifts to “new wave” technologies, we are expanding the array of communications options while ramping up reliability and performance so that we can deliver a more seamless, more interactive and more mobile communications experience. A significant portion of our investment has been strategically focused on strengthening our IP backbone to ensure that we have the capacity to meet future demand and that performance and reliability continues to exceed customer expectations.
Our focus on anticipating customers’ needs and offering attractive solutions that complement today’s evolving lifestyles is a key factor in enabling TELKOM to keep churn rates under control. In a crowded and dynamic market, a successful marketing strategy demands more than just excellent performance. Experiential, community-based many-to-many marketing is proving to be a more effective tool than traditional advertising at changing perceptions and differentiating our products in the marketplace. Innovative pricing, bundling packages and regional strategies that are sensitive to the diversity of TELKOM’s vast market are also helping to sustain our strong position in each of our markets.

MANAGING THE CHALLENGES: COMPETITION, REGULATION AND COMPLIANCE
The emerging global financial crisis, intense competition and uncertainties in regulatory environment contributed to the challenges TELKOM faced in 2008.
The competition among the 12 Indonesian InfoComm operators is intense, and increasing. Among the more recent entrants are a number of international operators that have joined forces with local companies, bringing with them capital, experience and technology. They have helped contribute to a radical change in the industry landscape over the last four years. Between 2005 and 2008, teledensity increased from less than 50% to more than 70%, and there is still an opportunity to grow further. Over the same period, connection tariffs in Indonesia went from among the highest in the world to the lowest in Asia.
The additional stresses of the worsening global economic condition have placed many operators under considerable pressure. TELKOM’s strong cash position and relatively healthy margins put us in a relatively favorable position. However, the continuing introduction of products, services and low tariffs could impact our revenues unless we continue to develop “new wave” technology and differentiate our brands by making them more competitive and attractive to consumers.
One of the positives that we can draw from this scenario is that there is likely to be fewer regulatory inhibitions on competition and pricing. We have always maintained that TELKOM will thrive in a regulatory environment that is rational, objective and responsive to the changing industry and regulatory landscape. Such an approach will give us and other operators the confidence to make strategic investments that will support the development of communications in Indonesia, which will benefit not just TELKOM but the industry as a whole, and of course the Indonesian public. We will take every opportunity to be involved actively in shaping regulatory policy by engaging in an ongoing dialogue with the government and other industry players.
We are a foreign private issuer with securities registered under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and an NYSE-listed company. This subjects us to the rules and regulation of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). TELKOM is required to comply with the Exchange Act, including its continuing obligation requirements, such as those mandated under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOA”). With continued vigilance, we believe we have improved consistently our level of compliance each year. We believe that the quality of our documentation, transparency, risk awareness and remediation has been considerably strengthened as we have aligned the company’s reporting and compliance systems with Exchange Act reporting requirements and SOA provisions. While all senior employees are fully cognizant of their individual and collective responsibilities in this respect, we continue to devote the necessary time and resources to ensure the effectiveness of controls and the integrity of our disclosures, to promptly address any weaknesses. We see this as a positive challenge that will help us fulfill our commitment in doing business in an ethical and sustainable way.

CHAPTER 2
REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
The year under review continues to show strong growth in the Company’s customer base. The number of subscribers for broadband internet access, fixed wireless, and cellular posted significant annual growth of 168%, 100% and 36%, respectively. However, competitive pressure and regulatory changes adversely affected revenue growth as compared to the previous year. As reported by the President Director, our net income was also negatively affected. Nevertheless, we believe the fundamentals of the Company in terms of market, technology and cash-flow positions can continue to strengthen.
Solid Foundation for Competitive Growth
We continue to dominate the domestic market in our product lines: cellular, fixed wireless, and broadband internet access. We are in the process of developing strategies and programs to turn around the declining trend of our fixed-wireline legacy platform. TELKOM’s greatest strategic advantage is the comprehensive range of products and coverage and the depth of service we can offer. Our capacity and infrastructure provide a strong foundation from which to meet future market demands for greater speed, connectivity and choice.
Technologically, we are making rapid progress towards deployment of our Next Generation Networks, driven by INSYNC (Indonesia Synchronized) and Infusion. These two initiatives are guiding the convergence of networks and IT, which will enable the delivery of multiple services from a single platform, be it mobile devices, personal computers, TV or others. The transformation has already begun, following a successful trial in 2008. This year we will launch triple play, which will deliver IP-based voice, internet access and video on demand from a single platform.
Financially, we continue to maintain a strong cash flow and a very healthy debt to equity ratio. These positions strengthen our ability to raise capital for expansion as and when needed.
In 2008, TELKOM achieved significant progress towards the company’s transformation from a legacy business to a fully-fledged Telecommunication, Information, Media and Edutainment (Education-Entertainment) Based Services (“TIME”) operator. We accelerated our strategic investment in infrastructure and systems for the next generation networks that will drive our business forward. In addition, we continued the transformation of TELKOM’s organizational culture to that of a flexible, talent-oriented company that is focused on excellence.

Strengthening Governance
The Board of Commissioners continues to provide direction and assistance to the Board of Directors in the development of corporate strategic initiatives. At the same time, the Board of Commissioners ensures that the corporate governance is strengthened.
The Board of Commissioners bears responsibility for ensuring that there are sufficient and effective controls in place over the operation and implementation of corporate governance. To exercise this responsibility, we are assisted by three committees: the Planning and Risk Assessment Committee, the Audit Committee and the Nomination & Remuneration Committee.
The Planning and Risk Assessment Committee is responsible for supervising and monitoring the implementation of the Company’s strategic plan. The Committee also performs regular assessments of the Company’s strategic risks and investments.
The Audit Committee plays a crucial role in ensuring that TELKOM maintains the highest standards of compliance with the requirements of two different securities commissions. The Audit Committee ensures that our internal controls are continuously strengthening within the Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOA) framework and has also provided invaluable assistance in enabling TELKOM to extend stringent governance surveillance over all our subsidiaries. Meanwhile, it is also important to point out that the Company has been able to eliminate material weaknesses in its integrated financial report as of December 31, 2008. See “Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” on page 118.
The Nomination & Remuneration Committee, meanwhile, provides essential support to the Board in ensuring that nominations are guided by a robust, fair and transparent system. Over the year the Board and the Committee have also worked together on improving the remuneration policy for the Directors and senior management to bring it more closely into alignment with corporate multinational practices.
Corporate Social Responsibility and Growth
TELKOM is committed to making a positive contribution to society by supporting and facilitating a variety of educational, social, economic and environmental initiatives. We are working in close collaboration with schools and other facilities to expand access to meaningful learning. In particular, we are leveraging opportunities for broader access to education and information by creating digital communities. Connecting people across the country with access to the internet not only opens up exciting new educational pathways but also provides people with the tools to engage with today’s world rather than being left behind on the wrong side of the digital era.
Students, teachers, government officials and many other members of the community have already benefited from training on computer literacy and how digital communications and information systems can be used in achieving their learning, teaching, training and information sharing and management objectives.
Such initiatives yield mutual benefits. The communities we are dealing with now are TELKOM’s future customers and partners. Even though broadband penetration is still very low, there are already almost 30 million internet users in Indonesia. This indicates that not only is there scope for expansion on a massive scale, but that there is also a vast pool of potential creativity that, if nurtured, will be a valuable resource as the company moves towards the deployment of Next Generation Networks.
As in previous years, TELKOM has also worked to empower and transform communities by providing grants, soft loans and training to small businesses and home enterprises; extending support for community health facilities and health education; supporting clean water, waste management, re-greening and other community-level environmental initiatives; and providing practical support to communities to help them recover and rebuild in the wake of natural disasters, whether they affect tens or thousands of people. At the same time we are striving to manage our own environmental footprint by addressing issues such as electricity consumption and electromagnetic emissions.

A Change in the Board Membership
We would like to put on record our thanks and appreciation to Mr. Anggito Abimanyu, who resigned after serving over four years as a member of the Board of Commissioners. We will definitely miss his contribution.
We were pleased to welcome our new Commissioner onto our Board. Supported by strong credentials and an academic background in the IT industry, Bobby A.A. Nazief brings a wealth of knowledge and a refreshing perspective to the table. We look forward to his contribution over the coming years.
Outlook
We believe that telecommunications and information will continue to be a major growth industry in Indonesia. Our innovation and investment strategies are therefore based on a long-term vision of our place in this rapidly evolving sector, and ensuring that TELKOM continues to position itself as the leader in the business. The company’s fundamentals are strong and we have a clear road map for our transformation from a traditional fixed wireline business to the country’s leading provider of converged information and communication services. While we recognize that periodic downturns will inevitably occur, overall, we are confident that with the Company’s strong fundamentals in market share, technology and cash-flow positions, we will continue to take advantage of the growing market opportunities in Indonesia.
The challenge for the future is to fully transform TELKOM into a customer-focused company with the right technology and organization structure that will allow for people to work effectively together. The initiative to transform the organization carried out by the Board of Directors is aimed at providing such a structure with the appropriate competencies in our people.
We are confident that the Board of Directors will continue to work as a team to implement and carry out all the strategic initiatives that the Company has developed. The Board of Commissioners has been able to work in synergy with the Board of Directors in developing strategies and in providing guidelines and direction for carrying out those strategies. In the meantime, the Board of Commissioners has been effectively carrying out its supervisory role on behalf of the stakeholders.

REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT DIRECTOR
This year, 2009, is a threshold to an exciting new era in telecommunications and information technology. By capturing and creating opportunities presented by advances in technology, in line with the industry and technology evolutions and the change in customers’ lifestyles and requirements, we are transforming our business to telecommunications, information, media and edutainment. This is a major undertaking, something that we do with confidence. There are three key reasons for this.
Firstly, TELKOM continues to maintain a position of financial strength. We have seen strong growth in our subscriber base. Our capacity has increased on the back of significantly higher absorption of investment compared to the previous year. We built more infrastructure and invested more in our GSM and CDMA business in 2008 than in the previous five years combined, and with lower costs, we achieved a similar acceleration in investment in our broadband and cellular businesses as well. These results were despite the challenging environment in 2008. A combination of tight competition and regulatory pressure brought interconnection charges down by almost 17% which negatively affected our profitability. Net profits fell by 17% from the previous year. Revenue, however, continued to grow, from Rp.59.4 trillion in 2007 to Rp.60.7 trillion at the end of 2008, as we attracted and retained subscribers. The state of our cash flow and key ratios remain strong, as reflected in our share price, which decreased by 32%, compared to the average industry decline of more than 50% and the 52% drop in the IDX Index.
Secondly, we have a clear strategy. Our vision is to become the leading InfoComm player in the region so that we can provide our customers with the superior convenience, quality, speed and versatility they need in our increasingly interconnected world. In order to achieve this, we must maintain our legacy business while making the transition to deliver growth in the new wave market.
Thirdly, we have a proven track record in delivering excellent service and value, which is reflected in our share of the market. This commitment to excellence is at the core of each of our products and services.
Scope for growth
The landscape in which we operate is changing rapidly. With teledensity penetration rates now over 70%, the traditional telecommunications market is almost saturated. While this will slow down overall growth going forward, some products—broadband, for example—are still in the high growth phase. Competition will intensify as operators fight for a dwindling pool of customers, and this, in the current economic crisis, will likely hasten the pace of consolidation among the smaller operators. In this transformational environment, TELKOM, with our comprehensive range of value-added products and services and advanced infrastructure, is uniquely positioned to deliver a seamless, reliable customer experience, which we expect will strengthen our position at the forefront of the market.
Some of our key indicators in 2008 provide a good illustration of the state of the business and how it is being influenced by changes in people’s lifestyles. While we experienced negative growth in fixed wireline subscribers and revenue, 1% and 13%, respectively, which was becoming the industry trend, our other services and products are growing positively, such as broadband subscriber base, through TELKOMSpeedy, which grew from approximately 241,000 to approximately 850,000, including 205,000 for education and trial purposes only, easily surpassing our target. Over the same period, CDMA-based TELKOMFlexi subscribers grew by over 100%, corporate customers increased by more than 50% and cellular subscriptions, served through our subsidiary, Telkomsel, were up by 36.4%. We believe that this may just be the beginning.
Bringing you excellence
The theme of this year’s report is Bringing You Excellence. At the core of what we do is connecting our customers with fast, reliable, flexible and responsive solutions that will help them to engage with people, information and entertainment, whenever and wherever they want it. This year, we have focused on raising and maintaining standards of excellence by anticipating the rapid and parallel evolutions in technology and lifestyle priorities.
Increasingly, people are demanding more mobility and versatility from their communications devices. The traditional ‘home’ telephone can no longer fulfill those needs. Changing lifestyles have prompted a seemingly irreversible migration to cellular and other mobile options, and this has impacted our fixed line business, as noted above. TELKOM still has more than a 90% share of this vast market, however, and traditional telephony will continue to be a principal revenue stream for some time to come, which is why maintaining this legacy business is a key element of our strategy. We plan to do this by leveraging quality, reliability and responsiveness, and by replacing and updating much of our traditional fixed line infrastructure to support exciting new developments such as triple play, which will enable delivery of

voice, data and video through a single platform. Having successfully completed internal trials during the second half of 2008—ahead of schedule—triple play is expected to be launched commercially in 2009.
While we expect fixed wireline services to remain the mainstay of our business in the immediate future, we are aggressively advancing the growth of our new wave services, which are revolutionizing the array of options for communicating and sharing information through multimedia platforms. New wave technologies have evolved rapidly over the last decade and are altering the way we communicate with each other, access entertainment and work. Although we made substantial strategic investment in the necessary infrastructure in 2008, including strengthening the national IP backbone, we recognize that the ability to develop and deliver creative content is key to providing the value added services that today’s customers need whether they are teenagers or company directors, farmers or designers. We are now laying the foundations to ensure that we have access to that creativity, not only within our own organization but also through acquiring and incubating more content service and solution partners.
We are also harnessing the power of technology to transform our own organization. INFUSION is our business systems integration initiative, which is bringing all our network management, billing, customer and product divisions under a standardized system. With the foundations for INFUSION completed in 2008, we are looking forward to significantly improved efficiency, flexibility, reliability and speed, which will result in more proactive and greater service assurance for all our customers.
Improving cost competitiveness
Given the scale of the global economic crisis, we will need to proceed with some caution. The fall in commodity prices will undoubtedly have an effect beyond the urbanized areas of the country. Foreign exchange losses will also influence our accounting, while we can expect a slowing down of growth rates overall.
To our knowledge, TELKOM is the only domestic telecommunications operator with a positive free cash flow. We believe our balance sheet and financial fundamentals are strong compared to our competitors. Our strong presence throughout Indonesia makes it easier for us to reach new subscribers. We completed the bulk of the investment we need to execute our strategy when prices were relatively low. Finally we have maintained a strong market share. We therefore expect to be able to recapitalize quickly when the market recovers.
Nevertheless, we recognize that managing costs will be critical if we are to stay ahead, even though our margins currently compare favorably to those of other operators. As we entered the crisis, we assembled a task force to review our overall costs and identify steps we can take to make us more cost competitive. These measures will complement the efficiency drives we have implemented with some success in recent years, particularly in personnel. Our early retirement program that has been in place since 1995 streamlined our workforce by more than 16,000. In addition, over the next few years we will be reassigning more people from our legacy divisions to the new wave divisions, which is where we believe the future of the business lies.
Regulation
In the coming years it will be essential for regulation to keep pace with the rapid rate of evolution in the InfoComm field. We will need to do our part to ensure that the playing field is kept level and that the interests of our stakeholders are fairly represented. To this end we have maintained a positive dialogue with regulators. In the past TELKOM, as a leader in this market, felt the effects of some of the new policies more keenly than other similar service providers. However, with the market already competitive and among the lowest priced in the world, we expect there to be less regulatory pressure on pricing in 2009. The key area for concern now is the prospect of increasing regional regulation that could impact our ability to deploy new towers when we need them.
Corporate governance
We are pleased to report that TELKOM won awards for our 2007 Annual Report and Sustainability Report. We believe that this reflects the efforts we have put in over the last two years in particular to strengthen compliance, internal controls and transparency. We continue to strive for improvement in all aspects of governance, and in 2008, we pioneered electronic auctions for purchase, which has provided further assurance that the process is now completely transparent and objective.

33


Table of Contents

Looking ahead
Our long-term vision is to become the most competitive InfoComm player in Indonesia. We have already completed much of the transformation of our networks, infrastructure and culture that will take us there. While the global financial crisis will certainly pose challenges over the coming year, we are optimistic that our strong fundamentals will allow us the flexibility to continue to focus on improving quality and reliability, increasing capacity, expanding our coverage and continuously innovating.
On behalf of my colleagues on the BoD, I would like to thank our BoC for their collaboration, support and guidance throughout the year. To all TELKOM’s stakeholders, and especially our customers, I would like to express our deepest appreciation for your continued loyalty and commitment to our transformation, and assure you that, in turn, we will uphold our commitment to leadership in coverage, quality, reliability so that we can continue to bring excellence to our customers, shareholders, partners and the public.

CHAPTER 3
BUILDING EXCELLENCE: TELKOM’S 2008 OVERVIEW
TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY IN INDONESIA
Since 1961, telecommunications services in Indonesia have been provided by a succession of state-owned companies. As was the case in other developing countries, the expansion and modernization of the telecommunications infrastructure played an important role in the country’s general economic development. Moreover, the nation’s large population and rapid economic growth have led to significant demand for telecommunications services.
The Government exerts regulatory authority over the telecommunications sector, primarily through the MoCI. The Government has historically permitted 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 regulations that came into effect in September 2000 were 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. At that time, the deregulation of the telecommunications sector was closely linked to the national economic recovery program supported by the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”).
Fixed line penetration is low in Indonesia when measured against international standards. According to a TELKOM internal study, as of December 31, 2008, Indonesia had an estimated fixed line penetration (including fixed wireless subscribers) of 13.1% and an estimated cellular penetration of 60.0%.
We believe that there are a number of significant trends in the telecommunications industry in Indonesia. These include:
  Continued growth. We believe that 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. We anticipate 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. We anticipate an increasingly competitive Indonesian telecommunications market as a result of the Government’s regulatory reforms.
REGULATIONS
Overview
The framework for the telecommunications industry is comprised of specific laws, government regulations and ministerial decrees enacted and issued from time to time.
The current telecommunications policy was first formulated and articulated in the Government’s “Blueprint of the Indonesian Government’s policy on Telecommunications,” contained in Ministry of Communications (“MoC”) Decree No. KM 72 of 1999 dated July 20, 1999. This was 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.
Current telecommunications law is embodied in Law No. 36/1999 (“Telecommunications Law”), which became effective on September 8, 2000.

Telecommunications Law
The Telecommunications Law sets guidelines for industry reforms, including industry liberalization, facilitation of new entrants and enhanced transparency and competition. The Telecommunication Law establishes substantive principles. Detailed provisions implementing the Telecommunications Law are provided in the regulations, ministerial decrees and decrees of the DGPT.
The Telecommunications Law eliminated the concept of “organizing entities,” ending TELKOM’s and Indosat’s status as organizing entities with responsibility for coordinating domestic and international telecommunications services, respectively, for the industry. To enhance competition, the Telecommunications Law prohibits monopolistic practices and unfair competition among telecommunications operators.
The Government is an impartial policy maker and supervisor of the telecommunications sector. To ensure transparency in the regulatory process under the Telecommunications Law, an independent regulatory body was established in July 2003 to regulate, monitor and control the telecommunication industry. The Indonesian Telecommunications and Regulatory Body (“ITRB”) comprises officials from the DGPT and the Committee of Telecommunication Regulations and is headed by the Director General of Post and Telecommunication Services. MoC Decree No. 67/2003 stipulated the relationship between the MoC, from which telecommunications regulatory responsibility was transferred to the MoCI in February 2005, and the ITRB. As part of its regulatory function, the 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 about 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 with the utilization of telecommunication equipment in accordance to the applicable standards. As part of its controlling function, the ITRB is also authorized to control 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 organizes telecommunications providers into three categories: (i) telecommunications network providers; (ii) telecommunications services providers; and (iii) special telecommunications providers. 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 (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.
Law No. 11/2008 concerning electronic information and transactions provides the means by which TELKOM may expand its business in information and electronic transactions, including e-payment. Regulations to implement this law have not yet been brought into force.
Competition
Despite the termination of exclusivity rights, the Government does not prohibit or discourage operators from attaining a dominant position with regard to the telecommunications services. The Government, however, does prohibit operators from abusing a dominant position. In March 2004, the MoC issued Decree No. 33/2004 (adopted pursuant to Law No. 5/1999, preventing monopolies and unfair competition), 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 scope of business, coverage area of services and whether one controls a particular market. Specifically, the Decree prohibits a dominant

36


Table of Contents

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 discrimination against specific providers).
Interconnection
Subject to the express prohibitions on activities that may create monopolistic practices and unfair business competition, the Telecommunications Law provides for fair interconnection of networks to allow “any to any connectivity.” Interconnection fees have 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. In February 2006, MoCI issued Regulation No.8/Per/M.KOMINFO/02/2006, which mandated a cost-based interconnection tariff scheme for all telecommunications network and services operators. Under the new scheme, the operator of the network on which calls terminate would determine the interconnection charge based on a cost-based formula.
Pursuant to Regulation No.8/Per/ M.KOMINFO/02/2006 and ITRB Letter No. 246/BRTI/VIII/2007 dated August 6, 2007, we submitted an update to our Reference Interconnect Offer (“RIO”) to ITRB on October 26, 2007, which covers adjustments for operational, configuration, technical and service offerings. In December 2007, TELKOM and all network operators signed new interconnection agreements that replaced all interconnection agreements between TELKOM and other network operators including amendments of all interconnection agreements signed in December 2006. These agreements address the requirements under TELKOM’s RIO.
On February 5, 2008, the Government issued a regulation mandating tariff adjustments to the cost-based interconnection tariff regime. Pursuant to the regulation, TELKOM and Telkomsel, along with 10 other Indonesian telecommunication service providers, were required to make adjustments by April 1, 2008, in order to comply with the new interconnection tariff scheme. Each operator was also required to propose an updated RIO. TELKOM submitted its RIO on February 26, 2008 and it was approved by the DGPT under Decree No. 205/2008, dated April 11, 2008 regarding the approval on operator’s RIO with operating revenue at least 25% of total revenue.
DLD and IDD Services
We were granted the authority to use “007” as our IDD access code. Our December 2005 interconnection agreement with Indosat enables customers of these two networks to make fixed line calls on the other service provider’s network, and allow Indosat’s mobile customers to access our IDD service by dialing “007”.
In May 2005, the MoCI issued Decree No. 6/2005 that authorized the use of the three digit access code in the form of “01X” and “0” access code for access to DLD services. The “0” access code is used to accommodate customers who prefer not to choose their long-distance carrier, while the “01X” access code is being implemented gradually in local areas in which we have technical capabilities to support such services.
In December 2007, the MoCI issued Decree No.43/2007 that established access code implementation phases. TELKOM was able to start its “01X” long-distance services in April 2008 in Balikpapan and, subject to certain conditions, in all remaining areas by September 27, 2011. However, this Decree also requires that we implement DLD fixed wireline or fixed wireless network access to other operators before such deadlines if Indosat or other licensed operators achieve certain customer base thresholds. Under the Decree, we would be required to open our fixed wireless network access to Indosat and other licensed operators upon Indosat or other licensed operators achieving a customer base equivalent to 30% or 15%, respectively, of TELKOM’s fixed wireless customer base. We were required to open our fixed wireline and fixed wireless network access upon Indosat or other licensed operators achieving a customer base for fixed wireless terminal services equivalent to 15% of TELKOM’s combined fixed wireline and fixed wireless customer base.
In September 2007, the MoCI issued an IDD license to Bakrie Telecom, with international access code “009”. On December 16, 2008, the MoCI issued a DLD license to Bakrie Telecom increasing the number of DLD operators to three. As a result, the other operators, TELKOM and Indosat, are required to unlock their DLD Access Code for local fixed wireline network operators in area codes that meet the threshold line

in service (“LIS”) requirements.
Convergence
TELKOM, Telkomsel and Indonusa (TELKOM Group) were appointed to carry out the field testing of digital mobile TV. The results will be used as a foundation in the formation of mobile TV regulations. This will be TELKOM Group’s first step in acquiring a license to be a mobile TV operator.
The MoCI supports TELKOM’s plan to offer IPTV services; however it needs a solid foundation based on convergence regulations. Since the regulation is not quite ready, there will be an interim law so that IPTV can be immediately launched where the market’s demand is mounting.
Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Body (ITRB)
The ITRB, established in 2003 as the implementation agency of the Telecommunications Law. The ITRB is authorized to regulate, monitor and control the operations of the telecommunications sector. The ITRB consists of officials from the DGPT and the Committee of Telecommunication Regulations. 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 become primarily the industry’s licenser and regulator.
The Telecommunication Traffic Clearing System (“TTCS”), also established in 2003, assists the ITRB in the performance of its functions and is responsible for all interconnection matters. ITRB, through the TTCS, will obtain data about the profile of interconnection traffic among operators to ensure transparency in the charging of interconnection fees. The actual operation of the TTCS is undertaken by PT Pratama Jaringan Nusantara, a private entity which is intended to act under the supervision and control of the ITRB. As of the date of this Annual Report, the TTCS 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. Customers injured or damaged by negligent operations to file claims against negligent providers.
With the many advancements in telecommunication services, TELKOM has to pay special attention to its customer service quality. Regulations in respect to Telecommunication Consumer Protection provide a regime for oversees consumers’ rights and obligations as well as telecommunication operators’.
Universal Service Obligations
All telecommunications network operators and service providers are bound by a USO that requires them to make contribution toward providing universal telecommunication facilities and infrastructure or other forms of compensation. USO amounts we paid are as follows: Rp.383.8 billion for the fiscal year 2006; Rp.438.5 billion for the fiscal year 2007; and Rp.462.5 billion for the fiscal year 2008. For further information, see Note 49h to our consolidated financial statements.
Implementing Regulations
The Government has issued several implementing decrees and regulations regulations relating to the Telecommunications Law and other laws. The table on page 41 identifies each and illustrates the licenses that we hold, the products that we offer and the laws, regulations and decrees that provide for each. The licenses that we hold include type of arrangement (Network, Service and Exclusive Telecommunications), service agreement, fundamental technical plan, standardized hardware, standard service and network quality, resource usage allocation (numbering and spectrum frequency), interconnection, basic rate and joint facilities (towers).
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 our satellites are also subject to registration with the Radio Communications Bureau of the International Telecommunications Union.

38


Table of Contents

Fixed Wireline and Wireless regulation
A March 2004 MoC Decree 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, this 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 features. Under an auto mutation feature, customers may make and receive calls only on their fixed wireless access phones using a different number with a different area code.
COMPETITION
Fixed Wireline and Fixed Wireless
Historically, we 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 our monopoly in providing fixed line domestic telecommunications services. The MoC issued Indosat a license to provide local telephone services from August 2002. In May 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 in May 2004, and in Jakarta in July 2004, thereby creating a “duopoly system” in Indonesia fixed line domestic telecommunications market. From January 2006, Indosat was able to provide nationwide DLD services through its CDMA-based fixed wireless network, its own fixed line network and its interconnection arrangements with us. Based on the interconnection agreement between us and Indosat dated September 23, 2005, we agreed to open interconnection with Indosat’s local fixed line service in certain areas such as Jakarta, Surabaya, Batam, Medan, Balikpapan and Denpasar. To date, Indosat has expanded the coverage of its local fixed network to major areas in Sumatra, Java, Bali, Kalimantan and Sulawesi. Indosat also commenced offering limited domestic long-distance services for calls within its network in late 2004.
Our fixed line services also faces direct and indirect competition from other fixed wireline and fixed wireless service providers, such as PT Bakrie Telecom (formerly Ratelindo) and PT Batam Bintan Telecom, mobile cellular services, fixed cellular services, short messaging service (“SMS”), Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) services and e-mail. We expect that the increasing uses of these services may adversely affect future demand for our fixed line services.
Cellular
As of the date of this Annual Report, the cellular market in Indonesia is dominated by Telkomsel, Indosat and Excelcomindo. These three nationwide cellular operators collectively had over 92.0% of the Indonesian cellular market (full mobility). The number of full-mobility cellular subscribers in Indonesia totaled approximately 93.1 million at the end of 2007 and approximately 138.8 million at the end of 2008, representing an annual growth rate of approximately 49.1% during that period. Despite this, the cellular penetration rate in Indonesia, at approximately 60% at the end of 2008, has remained relatively low compared to many other countries. During recent years, competition among cellular operators has intensified.
GSM mobile cellular operators compete principally on the basis of pricing, brand, network coverage, netwtork quality, distribution, technology, value-added services and service quality. We believe that Telkomsel is able to compete effectively in the Indonesian cellular market due to the high network quality and coverage of its mobile cellular network and the strength of its brand name.
Our CDMA-based fixed wireless phone service, TELKOMFlexi, offers limited mobility and charges customers at public switch telephone network (“PSTN”) tariff rates that are substantially lower than tariffs for cellular services. It may also offer a competitive alternative outside GSM services.
As of December 31, 2008, Telkomsel remained the largest national licensed provider of cellular services in Indonesia, with approximately 65.3 million cellular subscribers and a market share of 47% of the full-mobility cellular market. The second and the third largest providers were Indosat and Excelcomindo, which have a market share of 26% and 19%, respectively, based on the estimated number of subscribers as of December 31, 2008. In addition to the nationwide GSM operators, a number of smaller regional GSM, analog and CDMA cellular providers operate in Indonesia bringing the total number of operators to over 10.

IDD
In August 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 we could receive a commercial license to provide IDD services by the end of 2003. Although we only received our commercial license in May 2004, we had made the necessary preparations to provide IDD services even prior to the receipt of such license and in June 2004, we began offering IDD fixed line services to customers. We have upgraded some switching to have International Gateway capabilities in Batam, Jakarta and Surabaya. These gateways have received certificates of operation (certificate ULO) from the DGPT. In order to connect with overseas operators, we built two microwave links to connect Batam-Singapore and Batam-Pangerang (Malaysia). In addition, we, SingTel Mobile and CAT developed the TIS submarine cable system in 2003 connecting Batam, Singapore and Thailand. We 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. We also extended our international cable by purchasing bandwidth capacity to connect with Hong Kong and utilized this capacity to connect to the other countries, such as the United States. We also completed developing the ground segment to connect to the Intelsat Satellite in December 2004. These preparations allowed us to begin offering customers IDD fixed line services in June 2004.
VoIP
We formally launched our VoIP services in September 2002. VoIP uses data communications to transfer voice traffic over the internet, which usually provides substantial cost savings to subscribers. Besides us, Excelcomindo, Indosat, Atlasat, Gaharu, PT Satria Widya Prima, Primedia Armoekadata and Jasnita Telekomindo 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 in June 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 are expected to result in greater competition among VoIP operators and other IDD service providers.
Satellite
In recent years, competition in the Asia-Pacific satellite business has become more intense. Companies in this business compete primarily on coverage power, product offerings and price. The Indonesian satellite industry is not strictly regulated and in practice operates in accordance with an “open-sky” policy. This means that Indonesian satellite operators must compete with foreign satellite operators.

40


Table of Contents

Other
In the last three years, competition in multimedia, internet, and data communications related services has become more intense due to the issuance of new licenses as a result of the deregulation of the Indonesian telecommunications industry. We expect competition will continue to become more intense. 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 us, to obtain licenses to operate telecommunications networks and provide telecommunications services.
The following table summarizes the licenses that we hold for our various products, together with the authorizing law, decree or directive.
(CHART)
Fixed wireline and fixed wireless
TELKOM’s Modern License permits us to provide local, domestic and international long-distance fixed line services. The license does not have a set expiry date, but it is evaluated every five years.
Cellular
Telkomsel holds licenses to operate a nationwide GSM mobile cellular telephone network, use 7.5 MHz of radio frequency bandwidth in the 900 MHz band and 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.
Third-Generation Mobile Telecommunications System (“3G”)
In February 2006, the Government conducted the tender for three radio frequency spectrum licenses of 2.1 GHz, each having a bandwidth of 5 MHz, to be used in conjunction with the new licenses to operate nation-wide 3G cellular telecommunication network in Indonesia. The winning bidders would become the operators of 3G cellular telecommunication networks along with two existing license holders (HCPT and PT Lippo Telekom (Natrindo Telepon Selular)) that had received the 3G licenses through a competitive bid in 2003.

41


Table of Contents

In February 2006, 3G licenses were awarded to Telkomsel, Indosat and Excelcomindo. As winning bidders, Telkomsel, Indosat and Excelcomindo are subject to an upfront fee of up to 200% of the bidding price, payable within 30 business days of the award. Telkomsel, Indosat and Excelcomindo are also subject to a radio frequency spectrum usage fee based on certain formula. See Note 2j and 50d (ii) to our consolidated financial statements.
IDD
As part of our Modern License, we began to provide IDD services in May 2004.
VoIP and ISP
A Modern License enables us to provide VoIP services and ISP services, as well as provide data communications services.
Network access provider
We hold a license to provide internet interconnection services. The validity time of this license is unlimited, but it will be evaluated every five years.
TARIFFS AND INTERCONNECTION CHARGES
The Government divides tariffs into two categories: provision of telecommunications services and telecommunications networks.
The MoCI regulates prices and the amount we can charge based on a tariff formula for telecommunications services in Indonesia. Telecommunications operators may set the amount of tariff. In this regard, our operating business units have authority to make adjustments in prices based on specific guidelines as stipulated by the directors of our Company.
Fixed Wireline Tariffs
The current tariffs chargeable by us are as follows:
Installation and Monthly Charges:
             
Access            
charges   Business   Residential   Social
    (Rp.)   (Rp.)   (Rp.)

RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATING TO INDONESIA
Current political and social events in Indonesia may adversely impact business activity in Indonesia
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.
During 2008, the political situation in Indonesia was marked by changes in local leadership due to district elections. The 2009 legislative and presidential elections may also have a material impact on Indonesia’s political, social and economic policies, and on TELKOM. Elections for members of the legislative branch were held on April 9, 2009, with the result indicating that the Democratic party won the election with approximately 20% of the votes. The presidential election will be held in July 2009. It is too early to ascertain the impact of these elections and what impact, if any, they will have on TELKOM and the regulatory environment in which it operates. The elections could result in changes in the level of regulation, tariffs and other factors that may affect our business prospects, competition and our ability to introduce new products or sustain existing products. There can be no assurance that the political environment in Indonesia will be stable or that the current or any future government will adopt economic policies conducive to sustained economic growth or which do not impact adversely the current telecommunications regulatory environment.
A change in the composition of the Government could also lead to structural changes in TELKOM’s corporate governance, capital and management structures. As the holder of the one Dwiwarna share and the majority shareholder of Common Stock, the Government has the ability to use its voting power to change the composition of the BoD or the BoC. It may also use its powers to issue new shares, amend the Articles of Association or bring about actions to merge or dissolve us, increase or decrease our authorized capital or reduce our subscribed capital, or veto any of these actions. One or more of these might result in the delisting of our securities from certain exchanges.
In addition, the Government and certain governmental agencies are customers of TELKOM and its subsidiaries, including Telkomsel, our largest subsidiary. There can be no assurances that the Government would not continue to be a customer of TELKOM and/or Telkomsel at similar levels or at all.

The global financial crisis might have an adverse material effect on TELKOM
The credit crisis, sparked in part by the sub-prime mortgage issues in the United States, has escalated into a global financial crisis, spreading around the world, including Indonesia. Its effects became severe in 2008 and the crisis continues into 2009. Indonesia has felt the effects of the global financial crisis. In particular, the strengthening U.S. Dollar currency against the Rupiah created a domino effect on the nation’s economy. As a result, inflation rates went up, importing countries began to cut down their orders and pulled down export values. Some companies implemented employee cuts and unpaid leave programs. All these factors led to a slowdown in consumer spending, which has had an adverse effect on TELKOM’s revenues.
The depreciation of the Rupiah against the U.S. Dollar may continue to adversely affect our results and increase the cost in Rupiah terms of our capital expenditure and debt denominated in U.S. Dollars or other foreign currencies
Exchange rate fluctuations of the U.S. Dollar against the Rupiah have created a negative effect on TELKOM’s business. These include increased costs for equipment purchases using Rupiah currency, loss on U.S. Dollar denominated borrowings, U.S. Dollar value on dividends received by ADS or Common Stock holders and U.S. Dollar exchange value on proceeds received as a result from the sale of TELKOM’s Common Stocks in Indonesia and ADSs in the secondary market as well as TELKOM bonds.
Indonesia’s sovereign debt rating continues to be reviewed and revised by international rating agencies
As of December 31, 2008, the Government’s long-term foreign currency debt was rated “Ba3” by Moody’s, “BB” by Fitch Ratings, and “BB-” by Standard & Poor’s. These ratings reflect an assessment of the Government’s overall ability to pay its obligations and its willingness to meet its financial commitments. There is no guarantee that such ratings will not be downgraded in future. In addition, the global financial crisis has prompted review of the regulation of credit rating agencies in the United States and elsewhere. Different, or stricter, regulation of credit rating agencies may result in a change to, including a downgrade of, our ratings. Any such downgrade would have an adverse impact on liquidity in the Indonesian financial markets and the ability of Indonesian companies, including us, to raise funding, at an affordable interest rate, or at all.
Indonesia is vulnerable to natural disasters and other events beyond our control, which could severely disrupt our business and adversely affect our operating results
Certain areas where TELKOM operates are prone to natural disasters such as floods, lightning strikes, cyclones, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, fires or other occurrences beyond its control. These events may disrupt our business activity, cause damage to equipment and result in an adverse outcome to TELKOM’s financial performance and operating results.
On July 8, 2008, the city of Balikpapan, part of Regional Division VI, Kalimantan, was hit by severe rains and flooding. The flooding damaged TELKOM infrastructure and disrupted TELKOM’s delivery of services to customers. The insurance claim arising from this tragedy reached Rp.53.5 billion.
In order to address natural disaster risks, TELKOM is in the process of implementing its Business Continuity Management and a Disaster Recovery Plan. TELKOM has insured all of its assets to protect it from losses attributable to natural disasters or other phenomenon beyond TELKOM’s control. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that the insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover the potential loss suffered by TELKOM due to the natural disaster or other occurrences beyond TELKOM’s control.

RISKS RELATING TO TELKOM AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
Strategic measures on mergers and acquisitions, investments and divestments as well as subsidiary management can affect our financial performance
TELKOM has taken several strategic measures in an attempt to find new opportunities to maintain and improve its growth. We believe that these were prudently and timely initiated. Nevertheless, TELKOM still needs time to ensure that its decisions will have positive outcome on the Company’s growth; it may be the case that any measures taken may have a material adverse impact on the Company, rather than provide benefits.
The global financial crisis may affect adversely our business expansion plan
To remain competitive in the markets, we have been engaged in a business expansion plan designed to increase revenues and market share. We began implementing the plan prior to the onset of the global financial crisis. The increase in U.S. Dollar exchange rate against Rupiah, high interest rates and banks’ reluctance to disburse loans have forced TELKOM to reconsider a number of its business plans to see if they are deemed to be sound investments. The rise in investment costs due to foreign exchange differences has forced TELKOM to delay certain activities and investments.
TELKOM and its subsidiaries would need a substantial amount of funding as means for business expansion, acquisitions, new products and services development, coping with pressure from competition, expansion on supporting business or the right technology that is believed to be a sound investment. In this current global financial crisis, TELKOM cannot give an assurance that the additional funding would be available, when needed, with terms and conditions that can be accepted by the Company. Furthermore, even if there was a loan available, it might contain restrictive covenants that might constrain TELKOM’s businesses.
Due to the situations above, TELKOM might not be able to immediately expand or improve its services. It is also possible that TELKOM will not be able to obtain profit immediately from future business opportunities or when dealing with pressure from the competition. All of the above might result in significant loss to TELKOM’s business, operating revenue and financial condition.
Our controlling shareholder’s interests may differ from those of our other shareholders
The Government has a controlling stake of 52.47% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock and the ability to determine the outcome of all actions requiring the approval of shareholders. The Government also holds our one Dwiwarna share, which has special voting rights and veto rights over certain matters, including the election and removal of our Directors and Commissioners. Through the MoCI, the Government exercises regulatory power over the Indonesian telecommunications industry. There will be instances where Government interests will conflict with ours. There is no assurance that the Government will not direct opportunities to other telecommunications service providers in which it also holds an interest.
Certain systems failures could, if they occur, adversely affect our results of operations
TELKOM operates a PSTN, fixed wireless network (“CDMA”), internet and broadband network and cellular network. That integrated network consists of copper access network, fiber optic access network, BTS, switching, optical and radio transmission, IP core, satellite and application server. TELKOM maintains both system and network in good working condition and improves or replaces them if necessary.
TELKOM is starting to implement a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan and a Disaster Recovery Plan. However, such disaster recovery plans are not failproof. A system crash on TELKOM’s integrated network server or transmission link or other operational disruptions, could affect TELKOM’s services and TELKOM’s ability to retain its customers, which could have a material adverse effect on its operating results, financial condition and business prospects.
The operation of TELKOM-1 and TELKOM-2 satellites that have limited life span might present substantial risks due to breakage or interruption during their operations. As a result, the satellites could be lost or their performance deteriorated, which could have a negative impact to TELKOM’s financial condition, operational results and its ability to provide certain services.

TELKOM’s networks, particularly its wireline access network, might face potential security threats such as theft or vandalism that could adversely affect its operational results
During these difficult economic times, the security threat level against TELKOM’s equipment has been rising, with increasing instances of theft and vandalism to TELKOM’s network, particularly to the wireline access network. To prevent this, TELKOM has joined forces with local law enforcement officers and prominent figures to take various measures, especially in crime-ridden areas. As a result, starting during the fourth quarter of 2008, the crime rate has dropped significantly. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that in the future our wireline access network will not have security problems and that significant time and resources will not be needed to restore the damaged or stolen equipment. As a result, TELKOM’s operating costs and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.
A revenue leakage might occur due to internal weaknesses or external issues and if this happened it could have an adverse effect on TELKOM’s operating results
From time to the time, TELKOM may face revenue leakage problems due to the possibility of weaknesses at the transactional level, delay in transaction processing, dishonest customers or other factors. TELKOM has taken some preventive measures against the possibility of revenue leakage by increasing control function in all of our existing business process, implementing revenue assurance method, employing adequate policy and procedure as well as implementing information system application to thwart a breach of revenue from happening. Nonetheless, there is no assurance that in the future there will be no significant revenue leakage or that such leakages will not have a material adverse affect on TELKOM’s operating results.
If we or our subsidiaries are required to raise funds, whether or not in the ordinary course of business, there can be no assurances that such financing would be obtained or, if so, may not subject us to high costs, potentially harsh terms and/or restrictive covenants or, in the case of a subsidiary, require us to give a guarantee
We or our subsidiaries may need to raise additional funds in order to support our growth, undertake acquisitions, meet unexpected contingencies, build or improve our networks and develop new or enhanced services and products. We may also need to respond to competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technologies or take advantage of opportunities. We cannot be certain that such additional funding, if needed, will be available on acceptable terms. Furthermore, any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit our operating flexibility with respect to certain business matters. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to develop or enhance our services. We 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 our business, results of operations and financial condition.
New technologies may adversely affect our ability to remain competitive
Rapid and dynamic advancement in telecommunication technology are driven by the customers’ ever-increasing needs. The swift development in technology, services or new criteria can significantly affect TELKOM’s business. In order to fulfill customers’ needs, keep up with new technology and face up to competition, TELKOM needs to upgrade its technology to a new type of network, which is the next generation network that can handle integrated technology and services as well as improving cost efficiency at the same time. In addition, TELKOM also needs to enhance its customer service system to support new business development, new technology and new services.
Due to the fast and dynamic development of current and future technology, TELKOM cannot accurately predict the outcome on its operations or its service competitiveness. Moreover, TELKOM cannot assure that the technology it uses will not become obsolete or will be the most up-to-date.
The laws and regulations under which TELKOM operates have been going through a significant reformation; further reforms might have an adverse impact on our business
Regulations on Indonesia’s telecommunication industry are ambiguous. Telecommunication laws control the main industry’s reformed framework, such as privatization, authorization for new operators to enter the market and the amendment in competition structure. TELKOM sees uncertainty in regulations in regards to the following:

50


Table of Contents

  Regulations on DLD
 
    In December 2008, the Government planned to release a tender for long distance licenses. Thus, in 2009, it is possible that there will be a few operators offering long distance services. With an environment where there is a more than one long distance operator, TELKOM will feel pressured to commence long distance access code in cities other than Balikpapan, which in the end will heighten the competition in the long distance service domain.
 
    Currently, the Government is contemplating to reduce the number of Point of Charging (“POC”), which can create a potential risk in the tariff structure that can have an impact on TELKOM’s business.
 
  Regulations on interconnection and circuit lease services
 
    The regulation on cost-based interconnection implemented by the Government on February 5, 2008 compel all operators to submit an Interconnection Proposition on a yearly basis. This annual review allows the Government to impose interconnection tariff reduction.
 
    The Government’s determination to reduce telecommunication tariffs has also an effect on its network lease. The relevant regulation will reduce TELKOM’s network lease revenue.
 
    Although TELKOM has done numerous calculations to settle on the Interconnection Proposition and to anticipate the drop in network lease tariff, there is no assurance that the adjustment will not have an adverse effect on TELKOM’s revenue and interconnection tariff as well as revenue and costs from network lease and the negative outcome can also affect TELKOM’s business, financial condition, business results and business prospects.
 
  Regulations associated with the Broadband Wireless Access (“BWA”) configuration
 
    After a series of discussions regarding the configuration of Broadband Wireless Access for Wi-Max services in Indonesia, the Government settled on 2.3 GHz and 3.3 GHz as the Wi-Max frequency. As a consequence, all operators are required to tender to get a frequency allocation, as a main prerequisite, to offer Wi-Max services.
 
    In general, TELKOM is prepared to partake in the tender for BWA frequency; however, there is no assurance that TELKOM will acquire the license for the frequency, which can decrease its ability to compete in data & internet business and in the end will affect TELKOM’s business, financial condition, operating results and business prospects.
 
  Regulations associated with configuration of sharing infrastructure, particularly BTS towers
 
    On March 17, 2008, the Government issued regulations regarding infrastructure organization, especially BTS towers. In this case, local governments have the rights to decide the allocation of communal towers, which can put pressure on Telkomsel and TELKOM Flexi’s expansion plan. In most cases, the selective appointment regarding BTS towers will become more complicated and can create a potential setback to TELKOM’s business expansion that results in business loss.
 
  Regulatory Bodies: ITRB and KPPU
 
    Telecommunications law permits the Government to delegate its authority to regulate, monitor and control the telecommunication sector in Indonesia to an independent regulatory body, but still maintain its influence to formulate policy on the Nation’s telecommunication industry. The ITRB is appointed by the Government, and there is no assurance that ITRB would not take an action that could have an adverse affect to TELKOM’s business, financial condition, operating results or prospects.

    In addition, the Commission for the Supervision of Business Competition (Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha “KPPU”) has its significant share in monitoring competition in the telecommunication sector. KPPU has sanctioned Temasek in regards to its ownership of Telkomsel (see the discussion on page 107). There is no assurance that KPPU will not sanction TELKOM’s activities in the future or that KPPU’s actions will, have an adverse affect on TELKOM’s business, financial condition, operating results and business prospects.
 
  Compensation Risk
 
    The Telecommunications Law provides that we will be compensated for the early termination of our exclusive rights to provide fixed local and DLD services. Under the compensation scheme, the Government agreed to pay Rp.478.0 billion to us over a five-year period. The Government paid Rp.90.0 billion to us in each of 2006, 2007 and 2008 and is expected to pay the remaining amount in installments or as a lump-sum, depending upon the Government’s budgetary considerations. In addition, we are required by the Government to use funds received there under for development of Indonesian telecommunications infrastructure. We can provide no assurance that the Government will honor its promise to pay the balance within the five-year period.
Heightened competition in the telecommunications market, particularly in the cellular market, can put strains on TELKOM’s business
The level of competition in the telecommunication sector, especially wireless communication, has been significantly increasing over some period of time. On February 27, 2008, the Government issued a license to a new operator, PT Natrindo Telepon Seluler (“NTS”) that operates the Global System for Mobile Communication (“GSM”) technology under the brand name, Axis. It is one of the GSM operators offering 3G technology with initial investments of U.S.$500 million from two main shareholders, Saudi Telecom and Maxis. At the end of 2008, there were eleven cellular and CDMA operators (full mobility and fixed wireless).
The competition in the Indonesian cellular market intensified beginning in the last quarter of 2007 particularly among Telkomsel, Indosat, and Excelcomindo (“XL”). Each operator launched attractive marketing programs which resulted a steep drop of revenue per minute (“RPM”) from Rp.1,000 to Rp.200. This ”price war” also turned the market demography into a price-sensitive market. During this time, the overall landscape changed to low tariff, high minutes of usage from high tariff low minutes of usage. However, beginning in October 2008, a stabilization in market tariffs emerged. Both XL and Indosat moderated their pricing plans before and after the festive season. In the fixed wireless market, TELKOMFlexi has to compete with Esia provided by Bakrie Telecom.
In general, competitive pressures can have a negative impact on TELKOM and Telkomsel’s market share and business results. We face various competitive factors, such as price, quality, network coverage, complementary services and customer service. Up to now, Telkomsel and TELKOM Flexi have maintained a significant market share. However, there is no assurance that in the future Telkomsel and TELKOM Flexi will remain competitive in the wireless communications market.
Our satellites have limited lifespan and it is possible that TELKOM-1 and TELKOM-2 might become 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
Our TELKOM-1 and TELKOM-2 satellites have limited operational lifespan. A number of factors affect the operational lifespan 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. While we have provided insurance for our satellites, there can be no assurance that such insurance will offer adequate coverage. The loss of our satellites may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and ability to provide certain services, particularly in the eastern parts of Indonesia which currently rely largely on satellite coverage for telecommunication services. Meanwhile, we have started to develop TELKOM-3, which has a 15-year lifespan and higher transponder capacity. It is scheduled to be launched in 2011.

We are 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 us, than is regularly disclosed by public companies in countries with more mature securities markets. Our audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indonesian GAAP, which varies in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. For a summary of certain differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP, see Note 56 to our consolidated financial statements.
Our ability to develop adequate financing arrangements is critical to support our 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 product of other telecommunications service providers, we must continue to expand and modernize our network. This requires substantial capital investment. We believe that our internal cash flows and funds from new credit facilities, when available, should be sufficient for our continued operations and planned capital expenditures. If we do not have sufficient internal funds or are unable to obtain adequate vendor or other third-party financing for our planned capital expenditures or otherwise fund such expenditures through other financing arrangements, we may have to forego, delay or postpone certain of our planned capital expenditures. This may prevent us from being able to expand sufficiently and upgrade our network, which could adversely affect our revenues and growth.
Forward-looking statements contain projections that may not be accurate
This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements that include announcements in regards to TELKOM’s current goal and projection on its operational performance and future business prospects. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” and similar words identify forward-looking statements. In addition, all statements, other than statements that contain historical facts, are forward-looking statements. These statements are our expectations and we cannot give an assurance that our expectations will come true. There are some risks and uncertainty involve in those statements, including changes in economic condition as well as social and political situation in Indonesia. In regards to risks and uncertainty in Indonesia and market where TELKOM operates, holders of ADSs and Common Stock need to take into account that we give no assurance that those forward-looking statements described herein will be realized. Those forward-looking statements, written or verbal, made by us or by persons on behalf of us are referred to those risks.
TELKOM and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in litigation that might have an adverse effect on our business
There are several outstanding cases, criminal charges and investigations against TELKOM. See “Additional Financial Information — Litigation.” TELKOM has a reasonable basis to believe that it will prevail and not face sanctions or penalties or have costs awarded against us. However, there is no guarantee that a favorable result will be forthcoming in all of the actions. TELKOM has expended a significant amount of time and resources to defend these actions and may not be able to recover all of its costs.
We are incorporated in Indonesia and it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process or enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against us
We are a limited liability company incorporated in Indonesia, operating within the framework of Indonesian laws relating to public companies. All of our significant assets are physically located in Indonesia. In addition, our Commissioners and Directors reside in Indonesia and a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process, or obtain or enforce judgments, on us or such persons within the United States including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state within the United States, or upon other bases or from non-U.S. courts.
We have been advised by our Indonesian legal advisor that judgments of U.S. courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. 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 U.S. federal securities laws. As a result, holders of ADSs or Common Stock would be required to pursue claims against us or our Commissioners and Directors in an Indonesian court.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
General
We are exposed to market risks that arise from changes in exchange rates, interest rates and equity price risk, each of which will have an impact on us. We do not generally hedge our long-term liabilities in foreign currencies but hedge our obligations for the current year. As of December 31, 2008, our time deposits in foreign currencies reached 30% against our current liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed through a mix of fixed and variable rate liabilities and assets, including short-term fixed rate assets. Our exposure to such market risks fluctuated during 2006, 2007 and 2008 as the Indonesian economy was affected by a changes in the U.S. Dollar-Rupiah exchange rate and interest rates themselves. We are not able to predict whether such conditions will continue during 2009 or thereafter.
Exchange Rate Risk
Our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations results primarily from long-term debt obligations and account receivables and payables paid for through drawdowns under the Government on-lending program. The obligations as well as both account receivables and payables are denominated in U.S. Dollar, Japanese Yen, Euro, Singapore Dollar and Great Britain Pound sterling. A further description of our foreign currency assets and liabilities is explained in Note 52 to the consolidated financial statements. Part of these obligations might be compensated by the increases in the value of our time deposits denominated in foreign currencies and increases in the value of account receivables in foreign currencies. The information on instruments and transactions that are sensitive to foreign exchange rates, including U.S. Dollar, Euro, Singapore Dollar, Great Britain Pound sterling and Japanese Yen debt obligations and term deposits and our account payables and receivables.
The information presented in the following table was based on assumptions of selling and buying rates in U.S. Dollar as well as other currencies, which were quoted by Reuters on December 31, 2008 and applied respectively to monetary assets and liabilities. The buying and selling rates as of December 31, 2008 were Rp.10,850 and Rp.10,950 to U.S.$1, respectively. Telkomsel applied the Bank Indonesia middle rates for buying and selling for its monetary assets and liabilities which was Rp.10,950 to U.S.$1 as of December 31, 2008. However, we believe these assumptions and the information described in the following table may be influenced by a number of factors, including a fluctuation and/or depreciation of the Rupiah in the future.

(1)   Long-term debts for the purpose of this table consist of loans denominated in foreign currencies namely, two-step loans, liabilities of business acquisitions, long-term bank loans, notes and bonds, which in each case include their current maturities.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations results primarily from changes to the floating rate applied for long-term debt. This risk relates to loans under the Government on-lending program that has been used to finance our capital expenditures. The interest charged refers to the rate applicable 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 rates 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 21 to our consolidated financial statements.
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 for three month placements in effect as of December 31, 2008 by the banks where such deposits were located; (ii) variable interest rates on Rupiah denominated long-term liabilities are calculated as of December 31, 2008 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 three month deposit rate offered by the lenders; (iii) fixed interest rates on U.S. Dollar deposits are based on

55

average interest rates offered for three month placements by the various lending institutions where such deposits are located as of December 31, 2008; and (iv) the value of marketable securities is based on the value of such securities at December 31, 2008. However, these assumptions may change in the future. These assumptions are different from the rates used in our consolidated financial statements; accordingly, amounts shown in the table may differ from the amounts shown in our consolidated financial statements.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
General
We are the largest main provider of fixed line telecommunications services in Indonesia. We own a majority of Telkomsel, the largest Indonesian mobile cellular operator in terms of subscribers and revenue. We also provide a wide range of other telecommunications services including interconnection, network, data and internet services and other telecommunications services. We report revenues in the following categories:
  Fixed lines (which consists of fixed wireline and fixed wireless);
 
  Cellular;
 
  Joint Operation Schemes (KSO);
 
  Interconnection;
 
  Network;
 
  Data, internet and information technology services;
 
  Revenue-Sharing Arrangements; and
 
  Other services (including revenues from telephone directory services and building management services).
For segment reporting purposes, we have four segments: fixed wireline, fixed wireless, cellular, and other. The fixed wireline segment provides local, domestic long-distance and international telephone services, and other telecommunications services (including, among others, leased lines, telex, transponder, satellite and VSAT) as well as ancillary services. Our fixed wireless segment provides local and domestic long-distance CDMA-based telephone services, as well as other telecommunication services using limited-mobility wireless handsets within a local area code. Our cellular segment provides basic telecommunication services, particularly mobile cellular telecommunication services. Any operating segment that does not represent more than 10% of our revenues is presented as “Other” and comprises telephone directories and building management businesses.
For 2008, other than interconnection customers, no single customer accounted for more than 1% of our total operating revenues. For the purpose of calculating operating revenues, we treat each state-owned enterprise owned by the Government as a single customer. Our business does not experience significant seasonality.
Fixed Line Services
Our fixed line services are comprised mainly local and domestic long-distance services. We are the principal provider of fixed line services in Indonesia.
a.   Fixed Wireline Services
 
    Our fixed wireline subscribers pay one-time installation charges, ongoing monthly subscription charges and usage charges for local, DLD and IDD services. In addition, our subscribers are provided with a number of value-added features, such as voicemail and information services and billing and directory assistance.
 
b.   Fixed Wireless Services
 
    We offer 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. 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.
 
    TELKOMFlexi subscribers have the option of postpaid and prepaid services. Our postpaid subscribers pay one-time activation charges, ongoing monthly subscription charges and usage charges for local, DLD and international services. These charges are generally the same as those paid by our fixed line subscribers.

Table of Contents

    We also provide our TELKOMFlexi subscribers with a number of value-added features, such as SMS, wireless application protocol (“WAP”), a web portal, ring tones, voicemail and information services, such as billing, directory assistance and other content services. The revenues from these services are reported as “Data and Internet Services”. TELKOMFlexi customers have all features offered by cellular services except roaming to other local area codes and international.
 
    In December 2007, we launched a new service called “FlexiTRANSFER” service, which allows prepaid subscribers to transfer their balance (in Rupiahs) to other prepaid subscribers, but the balance transferred does not extend the service active period for the subscribers who receive the balance.
 
    In June 2008, we launched a new refill voucher card, denominated at Rp.5,000 per voucher both electronics and physics. The new refill voucher card is active for a period of 10 days, with a grace period of 60 days. Besides launching this new refill voucher card, we also extend all voucher grace periods from 30 days to 60 days.
Cellular Services
We provide mobile cellular services through our 65%-owned subsidiary Telkomsel. In 2008, Telkomsel’s mobile cellular subscribers (prepaid and postpaid) increased by 36% from approximately 47.9 million at the end of 2007 to approximately 65.3 million at the end of 2008. Based on data developed by Telkomsel from various sources, Telkomsel had an estimated 47% share of the cellular market (full mobility) in Indonesia as of December 31, 2008, compared to an estimated 51% market share as of December 31, 2007.
Telkomsel provides GSM cellular services in Indonesia through its own network and internationally through networks operated by 329 international roaming partners in 176 countries as of the end of 2008. As of December 31, 2008, Telkomsel had the largest network of any of the cellular operators in Indonesia, providing coverage to approximately 95% of Indonesia’s population, including all counties in Indonesia and all sub-counties in Java, Bali, Nusa Tenggara and Sumatera.
Telkomsel provides its subscribers with the option of a postpaid service under the brand name “kartuHALO” as well as two prepaid services under the brand names “simPATI” and “Kartu As.” In March 2007, Telkomsel launch HALOhybrid, a postpaid product which provides both postpaid and prepaid service in one SIM card. HALOhybrid subscribers have the benefit to determine freely monthly usage limit (ranging in value from Rp.100,000 to Rp.3,000,000), flexible tariff, refillable (once subscribers reach their usage limit), free SMS service, and usage monitoring. In May 2008, Telkomsel offered three minutes call get two minutes for free for postpaid setting and only on-net calls.

Joint Operation Scheme
Since the acquisition of our last remaining KSO partner, KSO VII, in October 2006, we no longer maintain joint operation schemes with our KSO partners. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on the acquisitions and consolidation of the KSO operations.
Interconnection Services
We receive revenues from other telecommunications operators providing fixed line, cellular, international long-distance and other services that interconnect with our network.
In December 2006, as a result of the implementation of the then newly-implemented cost-based interconnection scheme, we amended all of our interconnection agreements with other domestic network operators to cover the cost-based interconnection scheme. These amendments became effective on January 1, 2007. In December 2007, TELKOM and all network operators signed new interconnection agreements that replaced all interconnection agreements between TELKOM and others network operators including amendments of all interconnection agreements signed in December 2006. These agreements address the requirements under TELKOM’s RIO. On February 5, 2008, the Government issued a regulation mandating tariff adjustments to the cost-based interconnection tariff regime that it introduced on January 1, 2007. Pursuant to the regulation, TELKOM and Telkomsel, along with ten other Indonesian telecommunication service providers, were required to make adjustments by April 1, 2008 in order to comply with the new interconnection tariff scheme.
Our interconnection traffic volumes are set forth in the following table for the periods indicated:

Now, our switching facilities at the local and trunk exchanges are digital. We believe that this substantially increases network efficiency, performance and call routing flexibility.
 
    Our total number of fixed wireline lines in service in all divisions has remained at approximately 8.6 million as of December 31, 2008.
 
    Based on our Master Plan Infrastructures, Service and Operation (INSYNC2014 rolling 2008-2014), we are moving from a legacy network to next generation network (NGN). This includes the modernizing of network infrastructure toward ALL IP Infrastructure, a new wave services roll out plan, staging of transformation in terms of infrastructures and services and method of network operation. Our target is to be a full NGN Service Network by 2014. The main objectives of NGN transformation are reduction of OPEX and CAPEX, the possibility to provide new customized services, simplification of network architecture, reduction in number and type of equipment and more efficient use of available bandwidth.

Mobile Cellular Network
Telkomsel has the largest network coverage of any cellular operators in Indonesia. Telkomsel currently operates GSM/DCS, GPRS, EDGE and 3G cellular networks. The GSM/DCS network 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. Its 3G network uses a 5 MHz bandwidth at 2.1 GHz frequency.
As of December 31, 2008, Telkomsel’s digital network had 26,872 BTSs, 96 cellular switching centers and 698 base station controllers, with an overall network capacity capable of supporting 67.3 million subscribers.
Data and Internet Network
We began operating data network services in 1997 and continue to develop and expand our network. As of December 31, 2008, our IP-based network covered 362 locations with 801 router nodes nationwide. We will continue to improve the speed and quality of our IP-based network. Our IP-based network serves as the transport network for high quality VPNs, VoIP, and dial-up and broadband internet services. We have remote access servers (“RAS”) in 127 locations with 183 nodes nationwide used for our “TELKOMNet Instan” dial-up internet services and corporate dial-up internet services.
Since 2004, we have provided fixed-line based broadband access services under the brand name “Speedy” by using DSL technology. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately 850,000 “Speedy” subscribers in all of Divisions I to VII, including approximately 205,000 for education and trial purposes only. “Speedy” subscribers are typically residential dial-up users with a monthly usage of more than Rp.75,000, small office/home office companies, travel agents, internet cafes and schools. Since May 2008, Speedy had bandwidth speed of download up to 1 Mbps.
International Network
We offer IDD fixed line services under the brand name “TIC-007”. To route outgoing IDD and incoming international calls, we have three international gateways, which are in Batam, Jakarta and Surabaya. At the present time, we have no intention to develop any new gateways.
In order to facilitate interconnection of international calls, we entered into international telecommunications service agreements with telecommunications operators in several countries. In addition, as we do not have agreements with telecommunication operators in each of our IDD destinations, we entered into agreements with SingTel Mobile, Telekom Malaysia, MCI and other entities being operators to act as hubs to route international calls to their destinations. As of December 31, 2008, we had entered into international telecommunications service agreements with 35 international operators in 16 countries, compared to 21

international operators in 16 countries as of December 31, 2007. We plan to enter into additional international telecommunications service agreements with telecommunications operators for direct interconnection, particularly operators in the top 20 destinations for our outgoing IDD traffic.
Expansion and development of international network infrastructure are mainly to fulfill capacity requirement, enhance reliability, investment efficiency and also consider NGN based infrastructure transformation. For the time being, we have three international gateways: Jakarta, Batam and Surabaya, that between them connected by reliable domestic network. In service node development, TELKOM will develop Softswitch to support international services.
Our international network is underpinned by Sistem Komunikasi Kabel Laut (Submarine Cable Communication System, “SKKL”), Dumai Melaka Cable’s System (“DMCS”), Thailand Indonesia Singapore (“TIS”), Indefeasible right of use (“IRU”), Border Radio Microwave and Satellite. To develop and strengthen our international network and enlarge broadband services (Speedy), we have also entered into a AAG cable consortium to provide 40 G bandwidth with 5.0531% initial investment since April 2007. We also have a long term plan to develop international transport to eastern parts of Indonesia to diversify and capture business opportunities in South Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
Other Network Infrastructure
We operate the TELKOM-1 and TELKOM-2 satellites and 196 earth stations, including one satellite control system. TELKOM-1 has 36 transponders, including 12 extended C-band transponders and 24 standard C-band transponders and TELKOM-2 has 24 standard C-band transponders. We use our satellites for the following purposes:
  Network backbone transmission;
 
  Rural telecommunications services;
 
  Back-up transmission capacity for the national telecommunications network;
 
  Satellite broadcasting, VSAT and multimedia services;
 
  Satellite transponder capacity leasing;
 
  Satellite-based lease line; and
 
  Teleport (earth station satellite up linking and down linking services to and from other satellites).
 
  Satellite network is still developed to retain and increase market and revenue share of satellite services, fulfill the demand of satellite transmission and improve capacity and quality of services. Currently, TELKOM has two operating satellites: TELKOM-1 and TELKOM-2. In order to fulfill the customer demand, TELKOM also leased some transponders from other satellite provider such as GE 23 with 8 transponders, Apstar-1 with 1 transponder and Protostar 1 with 4 transponders. In 2009, we plan to deploy TELKOM-3 .

Data Network Development
In 2008, we continue to improve the quality of our data network by adding capacity and coverage. The new deployments consist of expansion the coverage and capacity of our existing IP core through the implementation of IP over Lambda 10 Gbps based and TELKOM Tera Router Core in three cities (Jakarta, Batam, Surabaya) and additional three nodes of internet gateway. For the regional IP Network, in 2008 we had already completed the development of 620 nodes of Metro Ethernet Networks nationwide as an additional of 147 nodes Metro Network developed in 2007. We currently have 767 nodes of Metro Ethernet that are ready to support the bandwidth requirement of TELKOM broadband services nation wide. Currently, besides being used as Metro Ethernet services, Metro Ethernet is also used as main transport of IP DSLAM for broadband Speedy and VPN IP. In 2009, we plan to use Metro Ethernet as backhaul mobile our subsidiary Telkomsel, MSAN, FTTx, Softswitch and IP TV.
We have developed IP Core network to support TELKOM NGN program in order to deliver triple play services and service convergence and also to integrate NGN Core network between Fixed and Cellular business. IP Core is developed by implementing single platform terra router with fully redundant network architecture. Existing IP Core Network consist of 483 ports GE, 257 STM-1, 116 STM-4 and 43 STM-16 and terra router will be operated in March 2009.
CORPORATE STRATEGY
Current Indonesia’s telecommunications market shows a low penetration rates for fixed lines, moderate to high penetration rates for wireless business and low penetration rates for broadband business. We believe that this is an indicator of a continuing strong demand for telecommunication services in the future. Broadband and enterprise businesses will be our next key drivers for growth and will continue to offer favorable growth opportunities in the future. As a result, we expect that our fixed line, wireless, broadband and enterprises services will continue to contribute significantly to our operating revenues in the near term. To support this, we developed broad business strategies to retain our existing customers, to acquire new

and lost customers and to further penetrate the market through our customer relationship management, product leadership and diversification, competitive pricing and one-gate distribution channels. The strategy focus on growth market such as broadband and enterprise is a growth strategy comprising “defending core business by customer retention”, “exploiting the full potential of TELKOM Group’s products”, and “extending scope of offering and capabilities to stake out future growth opportunities”. For the wireless business, the strategy is to align our cellular and fixed wireless business so that we can achieve the maximum synergy. The strategy focus of fixed line is different as the business is slowing down. The strategy focus for this is cost productivity. Besides these strategies focusing to strengthen our core businesses, we are also preparing some new growth portfolio for our next curve. Going to adjacent industries was considered to grab the opportunities in the IT Services as well as Media and Entertainment businesses.
All of above strategies were developed to support our vision “to become the leading InfoComm player in the region”, with the missions “to provide one stop InfoComm services with excellent quality and competitive prices” and “to be the role model as the best managed Indonesian corporation”.
The key elements of our strategy are:
a.   Strengthening and Optimizing Our Fixed Wireline Business
 
    Indonesia has one of the lowest fixed line penetration rates in Southeast Asia. As of December 31, 2008, a majority of the total lines in service were in the major metropolitan areas such as Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang, Bandung, Medan and Denpasar. We aim to strengthen and optimize our fixed wireline business by:
    increasing the cost competitiveness through improving cross functional efficiency;
 
    transforming legacy infrastructure into NGN Infrastructure;
 
    increasing our fixed line penetration rate more quickly and with lower capital expenditure per line through the rapid roll-out of fixed wireless technology;
 
    increasing the use of voice and value added services of fixed wireline product;
 
    launching management programs to reduce churn;
 
    strengthening our 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 Plasa TELKOM, our customer service centers, as a point of sale for our services;
 
    developing and expanding our IDD fixed line business; and
 
    enhancing our fixed wireline access network to provide broadband capability.
b.   Development of Integrated NGN
 
    In order to enhance our infrastructure and service capabilities as well as to reduce cost, we are implementing NGN technology (IP based platform) across the TELKOM Group integrating Fixed and Mobile NGN core network and developing Metro Ethernet Access network.
c.   Maintaining Telkomsel’s Leading Position in the Industry
 
    We believe that, of all our activities, our cellular business has the greatest opportunity for revenue growth. We provide 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, 2008, of 47% of the full-mobility cellular market, maintaining its position as the largest nationwide licensed GSM cellular operator in Indonesia. We intend to promote the further development of Telkomsel’s business by, among other things, offering competitive tariffs and promotions, value-added services for our products and services, and expanding Telkomsel’s network capacity and coverage.
 
    We believe that the 35% equity interest of SingTel Mobile in Telkomsel increases its 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 pre-defined 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, both retail and corporate customers, enhancing its products and services portfolio (including its GPRS, EDGE, 3G services and HSPA), improving network capacity and service;
 
    ensuring that Telkomsel has the IT infrastructure in place to fulfill its vision and mission, focusing on billing, service delivery and customer service; and
 
    achieving service levels at par with world class mobile service providers through its call center footprint and service oriented goals.
d.   Developing Our Fixed Wireless Business
 
    We offer a limited mobility CDMA-based fixed wireless phone service under the brand name “TELKOMFIexi.” We plan to continue to expand our CDMA-based fixed wireless networks in all of our 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. We believe the deployment of a CDMA-based fixed wireless network and our TELKOMFlexi business will provide us with a competitive advantage in the face of liberalization and increased competition in the fixed line market. We are also creating sharing joint infrastructure program between TELKOMFlexi and Telkomsel to speed up the fixed wireless network development and create more value for the Group.
 
    To enhance our organization’s capabilities on managing FWA Business, we are developing a separate business entity within TELKOM in order to get more responsiveness in elaborating the “market”.
e.   Investing in Broadband Business
 
    We intend to grow our broadband and internet access business by, among other things:
    increasing investment in our broadband infrastructure both wireline and wireless (such as DSL, MSAN, FTTx and HSPA);
 
    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 expanding our backbone and access network 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 integrated enterprise services for banks and other corporate customers;
 
    expanding the international coverage of our data and internet services by entering into agreements with additional global carriers and wholesalers; and
 
    expanding the coverage and quality of our internet Protocol backbone to increase data and internet traffic capacity.
f.   Increasing TELKOM and Telkomsel Synergy
 
    We seek to increase our synergy with Telkomsel, and to promote the sharing of facilities and information, the combining of resources and increased coordination. These resources include network, marketing, infrastructure support (such as information technology, logistics, human resources development and purchase) as well as products and services (such as new product development, bundling/packaging of services and interconnection). Specific examples include:
    sharing BTS sites, tower, mechanical and electrical facilities aggressively to expand the coverage of TELKOMFlexi;

70


Table of Contents

    utilizing the group’s combined customer base to deliver each other’s relevant products (such as the offering of our 007 IDD service to Telkomsel’s customers with specific benefits and a joint promotion campaign);
 
    increasing quality of 007 IDD for mobile customers both Telkomsel and international roamers by providing additional direct signaling link to Telkomsel’s international roaming partners;
 
    providing interconnection price scheme for 007 IDD and VoIP 01017, which provides benefit to TELKOM and Telkomsel. Using this scheme Telkomsel could served its IDD and VoIP customers with various services in affordable price, thus will increase TELKOM’s IDD and VoIP traffic;
 
    joint promotion and marketing activities on a case-by-case basis whenever this is expected to generate additional benefits to the group;
 
    utilizing available distribution channels to improve services and selling activities to customers (such as joint customer services officers); and
 
    sharing other facilities such as training facilities, research and development facilities.
g.   Integrate Enterprise Solutions
 
    To increase value contribution from enterprise business, we set up three business strategies which consist of defending the core by selectively investing in Access and Connectivity (such as IP VPN, Frame Relay, Leased Line, etc) while focusing on strategic customers, exploiting the full potential of TELKOM Group customer base, products offering as well as capabilities, and extending scope of offering and capabilities to stick out future growth opportunities.
 
h.   Expanding into Adjacent Industries
 
    We also seek the new revenue opportunities by expanding to adjacent industries (i.e. IT services media and entertainment). This expansion will also offer significant new growth opportunities leveraging key capabilities of the core business.
 
    In line with this initiative, we have already succeeded in acquiring 80% of the shares of PT Sigma Cipta Caraka (SIGMA), a leading IT Services Company in Indonesia especially in finance & banking services, through Metra, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TELKOM, and 9.8% shares of SCICOM, a global call center company based in Malaysia, through PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia International (TELKOM International), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TELKOM.

BILLING, PAYMENT AND COLLECTION
Our customers are billed on a monthly basis according to the regional division in which they are located bills from several regions maybe 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 bank transfer or by automatic debit through banks and internet banking. However, for payments that are overdue for three months or more, customers are required to make such payments only at our customer service points. If payment is not received by the due date of the bill, our 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. 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.

We currently provide billing services for Indosat in connection with their IDD services, for which we charge a flat fee for each bill.
Management of Customer Receivables
a.   TELKOM
 
    We do not collect deposits from subscribers. Except for our Government, police and military customers, a delinquent subscriber is subject to late fees, increasing levels of call barring and, eventually, disconnection of the service after approximately three months of delinquency. Since the monthly bill for an 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 re-subscribe, there is little incentive for the customer not to pay his outstanding bill. In addition, we screen potential customers for fixed line by reviewing identity card and electricity billing statements and by visiting the residence of such potential customers. Accordingly, we believe that the collectability of our receivables is reasonably assured.
 
    Under our customer accounts policy, the accounts of our private retail customers are terminated if they fail to make their required payments for more than three consecutive months. In the case of non-retail customers over a specified amount, we review the outstanding debt individually for collectability, except for HANKAM (Dept. of Defence), Police and Military subscribers. For these customers, we generally terminate accounts if more than 25% of the payments due remain outstanding between seven and 12 months, more than 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.
 
b.   Telkomsel
 
    Telkomsel bills its kartuHALO postpaid 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. Choices of packages given to subscribers consist of HALOKeluarga, HALOBebas and HALOHybrid. HALOKeluarga is designed for families that include cheaper monthly fee and cheaper calls among registered family members. Postpaid subscribers can choose among four options in HALOBebas: (a) special tariff for calls to ten favorite numbers within Telkomsel’s network; (b) 150 free SMSs per month; (c) waiver of the monthly subscription charge; or (d) nationwide flat-rate tariffs. HALOHybrid is a postpaid service that can be switched to prepaid service anytime the customers desire or until customers have reached the usage limit.
 
    Telkomsel offers its kartuHALO postpaid subscribers a variety of payment options, including payment by cash, check, 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 its non-corporate customers on one of five billing cycles. It issues bills to each customer monthly. If payment is not received by the due date of the bill, the subscriber is 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.

CHAPTER 4
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 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 Notes 56 and 57 to the consolidated financial statements for our reconciliation to U.S. GAAP.
OPERATING RESULTS OVERVIEW
We are the principal provider of local, domestic and international telecommunications services in Indonesia, as well as the leading provider of mobile cellular services through our majority-owned subsidiary, Telkomsel. Our objective is to become a leading InfoComm player in the region that is a full service and network provider in Indonesia through the provision of a wide range of communications services. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately 21.3 million fixed lines in service, comprising 8.6 million lines on our fixed wireline network and 12.7 million lines on our fixed wireless network and Telkomsel had approximately 65.3 million mobile cellular subscribers. We also provide 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.
Our operating results for the three-year period from 2006 through 2008 reflected growth in operating revenues. From 2006 to 2007, the growth in operating revenues was primarily driven by fixed wireless, cellular, interconnection, and data, internet and information technology services. From 2007 to 2008, the growth in operating revenues was driven by cellular revenues. The growth of revenues in the cellular business primarily reflected growth in the number of Telkomsel’s cellular subscribers.
Our operating results from 2006 to 2008 also reflected significant growth in operating expenses. The growth in operating expenses was driven by operations, maintenance and telecommunication services, depreciation expenses and marketing expenses. The growth of depreciation expenses and operation, maintenance and telecommunication services expenses was primarily as a result of the addition of new Telkomsel’s BTS and TRX, and increased in overall network capacity to support the increase in its subscribers. Telkomsel also increased the capacity of its transmitting and receiving stations, switching and Intelligent Network equipment.
Increase in Telkomsel’s Revenues
The decline in Indonesia’s cellular industry growth from 28% in 2007 to 13% in 2008 contributed to a decrease in Telkomsel’s revenue growth in those years.
In spite of a 36.4% growth in cellular subscribers, Telkomsel experienced a 1.4% growth in net operating revenue from 2007 to 2008 due to a significant decrease in tariffs to cope with fierce competition. Telkomsel’s revenues from cellular phone services (usage charges, monthly subscription charges, connection fee charges and features) accounted for approximately 41.7% of our consolidated total operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 38.1% for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 40.2% for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Due to the growth in the cellular market, competition increased among cellular operators, particularly in the prepaid market. These cellular operators also compete to a lesser extent with fixed wireless operators, with the growing number of fixed wireless lines in service. See “Risk Factors — Our increasingly important cellular operations face significant constraints and competitive pressures”.
Decrease in TELKOM’s Interconnection Revenues
Our net interconnection revenues accounted for approximately 14.5% of our consolidated operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 16.2% for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 16.9% for the year ended December 31, 2006. Net revenues from net interconnection services decreased by 8.9% from 2007 to 2008 and increased by 11.2% from 2006 to 2007. The decrease in

76


Table of Contents

interconnection revenues in 2008 was primarily due to a decrease of 9.6% in net interconnection revenues paid to us by mobile cellular operators which amounted to Rp.7,900.4 billion. The increase in interconnection revenues in 2007 was primarily due to an increase of 17.4% in interconnection charges paid to us by mobile cellular operators which amounted to Rp.8,734.8 billion.
On February 8, 2006, the MoCI issued Regulation No. 8/Per/M.KOMINFO/02/2006, which mandated a cost-based interconnection tariff scheme for all telecommunications network and service operators. It became effective on January 1, 2007. Under the new scheme, the operator of the network on which calls terminate will determine the interconnection charge to be received by it based on a formula to be mandated by the Government, which will require the operators to charge for calls based on the costs of carrying such calls. On December 28, 2006, all network operators, including TELKOM, signed amendments to our interconnection agreements for fixed line networks (local, domestic long distance and international) and mobile network for the implementation of the cost-based tariff obligations.
Increase in TELKOM’s Data, Internet and Information Technology Services Revenues
Data, internet and information technology services revenues accounted for approximately 24.2% of our consolidated operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 24.7% for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 17.7% for the year ended December 31, 2006. Our revenues from our data, internet and information technology services increased by 0.2% from 2007 to 2008 and increased by 62.0% from 2006 to 2007. The increase in data, internet revenues and information technology in 2008 was primarily due to a 61.8% increase in revenue from internet connectivity services, and a 40.8% increase in revenue from data communication and information technology services. The increase in data, internet and information technology revenues in 2007 was primarily due to a 55.3% increase in revenues generated from SMS services, a 197.0% increase in data communication and information technology services and a 51.5% increase in revenues from internet services.
Operations Maintenance and Telecommunication Services Expenses
Our operations, maintenance and telecommunication services expenses have increased significantly during the three-year period from 2006 through 2008. These increases are primarily related to Telkomsel’s expansion of its network capacity due to the growth in its subscriber base and increase in our fixed assets due to deployment of fixed wireless. Telkomsel’s subscriber base has increased from 35,597,171 subscribers as of December 31, 2006 to 47,890,139 subscribers as of December 31, 2007 and 65,300,000 subscribers as of December 31, 2008. Our fixed wireless service grew substantially from 4,175,853 lines in service as of December 31, 2006 to 6,362,844 lines in service as of December 31, 2007 and 12,725,425 lines in service as of December 31, 2008.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets comprised intangible assets from subsidiaries or business acquisitions (see Notes 2d, 2j, 4, 14, 38 and 55 to our consolidated financial statements) licenses and computer software. An intangible asset shall be recognized if it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to us and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful life. We estimate the recoverable value of our intangible assets at each balance sheet date. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written-downs to its estimated recoverable amount.
In 2006, Telkomsel was granted the right to operate the 3G license. Telkomsel is required to pay an up-front fee and annual rights of usage (“Biaya Hak Penggunaan” or “BHP”) fee for the next ten years. The up-front fee is recorded as intangible assets and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the right to operate the 3G license of 10 years. Amortization commenced from the date when the assets attributable to the provision of the related services were available for use.
Based on management interpretation of the license conditions and the written confirmation from the Directorate General of Post and Telecommunication, it is believed that the license could be returned at any time without any financial obligation to pay the remaining outstanding BHP fees. Based on this fact, Telkomsel concluded that it has purchased the right to make annual operating payments to operate the 3G license. Accordingly, Telkomsel recognizes the annual BHP fees as expenses when incurred.

Cellular telephone revenues increased by Rp.2,015.5 billion, or 9.8%, from Rp.20,622.6 billion in 2006 to Rp.22,638.1 billion in 2007. The increase in cellular telephone revenues was primarily due to an increase in air time charges, partially offset by a decrease in feature charges. Air time charges increased by Rp.2,565.9 billion, or 13.3%, from Rp.19,257.3 billion in 2006 to Rp.21,823.2 billion in 2007. Connection fee charges increased by Rp.21.2 billion, or 19.4%, from Rp.109.2 billion in 2006 to Rp.130.4 billion in 2007 due to the growth in net-additional kartuHALO cellular subscribers. Features charges decreased by Rp.646.0 billion, or 67.4%, from Rp.958.7 billion in 2006 to Rp.312.7 billion in 2007, due to decrease in sales from new features services, including ring back tone, message boards and mobile fax services. Monthly subscription charges increased by Rp.74.4 billion, or 25.0%, from Rp.297.4 billion in 2006 to Rp.371.8 billion in 2007, primarily due to the growth in kartuHALO cellular subscribers.
The increase in cellular telephone revenues was primarily attributable to a 34.6% growth in Telkomsel’s total cellular subscribers from 35.6 million subscribers in 2006 to 47.9 million subscribers in 2007. This increase was caused by a 9% growth in net-additional subscribers from 11.3 million subscribers in 2006 to 12.3 million subscribers in 2007. Postpaid subscribers grew by 15% to 1.9 million subscribers and prepaid subscribers grew by 35.5% to 46.0 million subscribers, in each case as of December 31, 2007.
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 95.3% in 2006 to 96.0% in 2007. 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.84,000.0 in 2006 to approximately Rp.80,000.0 in 2007. The SMS /non-voice ARPU for postpaid subscribers increased from approximately Rp.47,000.0 in 2006 to approximately Rp.49,000.0 in 2007.

Our fixed wireline segment revenues increased by Rp.282.2 billion, or 1.3%, from Rp.21,188.4 billion in 2007 to Rp.21,470.6 billion in 2008. The increase in fixed wireline segment revenues was primarily due to increase in data, internet and information technology services revenues by Rp.1,543.6 billion primarily due to increase in internet connection revenues from the broadband access. The increase also contributed to increase in network services revenues by Rp.348.7 billion, and other telecommunication services revenue by Rp.396.8 billion. The increase in fixed wireline’s data and internet revenues was partially offset by a decrease in fixed wireline’s voice revenues by Rp.1,226.2 billion primarily due to decrease in call volumes, and decrease in net interconnection revenues by Rp.323.8 billion.
Our fixed wireline segment’s expenses increased by Rp.1,527.1 billion, or 9.4%, from Rp.16,253.8 billion in 2007 to Rp.17,780.9 billion in 2008, primarily due to increase in operation and maintenance expense by Rp.544.1 billion, or 46.5%, personnel expenses by Rp.619.3 billion, or 9.5%, and marketing expense by Rp.159.0 billion, or 37.4%.

Our fixed wireless segment’s revenues increased by Rp.151.4 billion, or 4.8%, from Rp.3,146.4 billion in 2007 to Rp.3,297.8 billion in 2008, due to increase in fixed wireless’s net interconnection revenues by Rp.80.6 billion, or 6.6%. This increase was also contributed to the increase of Rp.51.2 billion, or 10.1% in data and internet revenues and the increase of Rp.19.4 billion, or 1.4% in fixed wireless’s voice revenues. This increase in line with 100.0% growth in the number of subscribers for fixed wireless, from 6.4 million lines in service for the year ended December 31, 2007 to 12.7 million lines in service for the year ended December 31, 2008
Our fixed wireless segment’s expenses increased by Rp.466.1 billion, or 28.6%, from Rp.1,628.3 billion in 2007 to Rp.2,094.4 billion in 2008, primarily due to increase in operation and maintenance expense by Rp.247.5 billion, marketing expense by Rp.134.9 billion, and depreciation expense by Rp.65.1 billion from 2007 to 2008.
Cellular Segment
Our cellular segment’s revenues increased by Rp.533.9 billion, or 1.5%, from Rp.36,617.0 billion in 2007 to Rp.37,150.9 billion in 2008, primarily due to increase in cellular voice revenues by Rp.2,694.0 billion in

Our fixed wireline segment revenues increased by Rp.536.0 billion, or 2.6%, from Rp.20,652.4 billion in 2006 to Rp.21,188.4 billion in 2007. The increase in fixed wireline segment revenues was primarily due to increase in data and internet revenues by Rp.598.6 billion, primarily due to an increase in internet connection revenues from TELKOMNet Instant and the broadband access. This increase also contributed to the increase in interconnection revenues by Rp.79.9 billion. This was partially offset by decrease in fixed wireline’s voice revenues by Rp.461.4 billion primarily due to a decrease in call volumes, and a decrease in joint operation scheme revenues by Rp.489.4 billion arising from the acquisition of KSO VII.
Our fixed wireline segment’s expenses decreased by Rp.3.8 billion, from Rp.16,257.5 billion in 2006 to Rp.16,253.8 billion in 2007, due to decrease in depreciation expense by Rp.853.7 billion, or 20.1%, from Rp.4,257.5 billion in 2006 to Rp.3,403.8 billion in 2007 and also a decrease in personnel expenses by Rp.315.8 billion, or 4.6%, from Rp.6,840.7 billion in 2006 to Rp.6,524.9 billion in 2007.

Summary of Significant Differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP
See Note 56 to the consolidated financial statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
TELKOM, like other companies in Indonesia and around the world, is subject to the impact of the global financial crisis. Competition in the telecommunications sector also affects our operating revenues. Based on our risk assessment, we believe that both of these factors have had, and will continue to have, a material impact on our liquidity.
Based on our risk assessment, the global financial credit crisis on us in 2008 mainly affected us in two areas - interest expense and foreign exchange exposure.
Competition in the telecommunications sector affected us in several ways through 2008, including a loss in market share in fixed wireless and cellular.
Both of these are discussed below.
2008
Our funding sources in 2008 were:
1.   cash from operating activities of Rp.24,316.3 billion; and
 
2.   borrowings from consortium banks (BNI, BRI, Bank Jabar) of Rp.2,400 billion to finance our capital expenditures.
In 2008, our liquidity and capital resources requirements, aside from our requirements for working capital and to make payments of dividends and taxes, consisted of the following:
  capital expenditures for existing and new network and backbone infrastructures;
 
  debt service requirements relating to existing indebtedness, including two-step loans, our short-term loans and payments of KSO (Aria West, MGTI, PT Bukaka Singtel International (BSI));
 
  final installment payment of the purchase price for shares of Aria West (January 31, 2009); and
 
  payments of contributions to our pension plans and post-retirement health care plan.

95


Table of Contents

2009
We expect our funding sources in 2009 to be as follows:
1.   cash from operating activities; and
 
2.   new loan facilities.
We do not expect to require other funding sources during 2009. At the present time, we have several short- and long-term loans with banks. These facilities are fully drawn and we do not expect to renegotiate these facilities.
We are in the process of negotiating new loan facilities with a number of banks in an amount of more than U.S.$400 million and expect to have these in place during 2009. There is no guarantee that these will be in place during 2009 or that we will able to drawn down the amounts that we require, in which case the proposed expenditures earmarked for these funds might be reduced, eliminated or postponed to 2010 or beyond.
We expect our liquidity and capital resources requirements, aside from our 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 infrastructures, including a continuation of backbone transmission network on Jasuka Ring (Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan), Submarine Cable JDM (Jember-Denpasar-Mataram), Sulka Ring (Sulawesi and Kalimantan), PALAPA Ring, Sangata-Toweli Ring, Asia America Gateway (AAG), the expansion of our fixed wireless access networks, the expansion of Submarine Cable SUB (Surabaya-Ujung Pandang-Banjarmasin), Telkom-3 Satellite project, additional ground satellite segment, fiber optic transmission network, softswitch development, the installation and upgrading of fixed lines and increased capacity in our mobile cellular service conducted through Telkomsel;
 
  debt service requirements relating to existing indebtedness, including two-step loans and our short-term loans;
 
  payments of contributions to our pension plans and post-retirement health care plan;
 
  fixed monthly payments to MGTI pursuant to the amended and restated agreement for KSO IV, which commenced in January 2004 and terminates in 2010; and
 
  fixed monthly payments to PT Bukaka Singtel International (BSI) pursuant to the amended and restated agreement for KSO VII, which commenced in October 2006 and terminates in 2010.
Trends in 2009
We expect the following trends to affect our liquidity in 2009:
  Among our products and services, there has been growth in fixed wireless and cellular services, and data and internet. At the same time, we are seeing a decrease in fixed wire lines revenues.
 
  The global financial crisis has spread to the emerging and developing countries. Indonesia, in particular, has experienced a slowdown in its economy which could continue and lead to a further decrease in consumer spending. Additional funding will be required to cope with the downturn, which will impact the credit markets.
 
  The credit crisis could influence our ability to gain access to the credit markets and the falling consumption of telecommunication services (as result of decreased consumer spending) will decrease our revenue.
 
  The depreciation of the Rupiah against the U.S. Dollar in 2009, if it continues, will increase our expenses denominated in U.S. Dollars and the cost of servicing our U.S. Dollar debt, and its value on our balance sheet.

  We believe that the Indonesian inflation rate will decrease and that economic growth will increase, but at a rate slower than that in recent years. We believe that these would help encourage increased consumer spending that, in turn, would help promote sales of our products and services.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our primary source of liquidity in recent years was cash flows from our operating activities. Net cash flows from our operating activities totaled Rp.26,695.2 billion, Rp.27,727.3 billion and Rp.24,316.3 billion (U.S.$2,230.9 million) in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
Year ended December 31, 2008 compared to year ended December 31, 2007
In 2008 compared to 2007, net cash flows from operating activities decreased by Rp.3,411.0 billion, or 12.3%, primarily due to increase in payment for operating expenses. The decrease in operating cash flows also was due to:
  decrease of Rp.1,821.4 billion, or 16.6%, in cash receipts from fixed lines services.
 
  decrease of Rp.870.0 billion, or 9.0%, in cash receipts from interconnection services-net, primarily due to decrease in cellular interconnection fees; and
 
  increase of Rp.3,024.5 billion, or 12.8%, in cash payments for operating expenses.
This decrease was partially offset by:
  increase of Rp.2,961.8 billion, or 13.0%, in cash receipts from cellular business; and
 
  increase of Rp.725.7 billion, or 64.6%, in cash receipts from other services.
Year ended December 31, 2007 compared to year ended December 31, 2006
In 2007 compared to 2006, net cash flows from operating activities increased by Rp.1,032.1 billion, or 3.9%, primarily due to:
  increase of Rp.1,877.8 billion, or 9.0%, in cash receipts from cellular business, primarily due to a growth in the mobile cellular business of Telkomsel;
 
  increase of Rp.965.8 billion, or 11.2%, in cash receipts from interconnection services, primarily due to increase in cellular interconnection fees, resulting from an increased mobile cellular subscriber base in Indonesia; and
 
  increase of Rp.5,908.5 billion, or 66.3%, in cash receipts from data and internet, primarily due to increase in SMS usage by Telkomsel subscribers and the number of Speedy subscribers.

97


Table of Contents

This increase was partially offset by:
  increase of Rp.7,147.4 billion, or 43.4%, in cash payments for operating expenses, which is in line with the increase in operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization).
Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities totaled Rp.16,461.1 billion, Rp.15,138.9 billion and Rp.16,545.7 billion (U.S.$1,518.0 million) in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The net cash used in investing activities were primarily used for capital expenditures.
Apart from cash on hand and cash in banks, we invest the majority of our excess cash from time to time in time deposits. Since May 14, 2004, we also have been investing a part of our excess cash in Rupiah-based mutual funds and other marketable securities. As of December 31, 2008, temporary investments totaling Rp.267.0 billion (US$24.5 million) in mutual funds and other marketable securities were outstanding.
Year ended December 31, 2008 compared to year ended December 31, 2007
In 2008 compared to 2007, net cash flows used in investment activities increased by Rp.1,406.9 billion, or 9.3%, primarily due to increase of Rp.807.0 billion, or 5.4%, in cash outflows related to the increase of acquisition of property, plant and equipment.
Year ended December 31, 2007 compared to year ended December 31, 2006
In 2007 compared to 2006, net cash flows used in investment activities decreased by Rp.1,322.2 billion, or 8.0%, primarily due to:
  decrease of Rp.843.8 billion, or 5.3%, in the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.; and
 
  decrease of Rp.436.0 billion, primarily due to decrease of the payment of the 3G license up-front fee by Telkomsel.
Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash flows used in financing activities totaled Rp.7,382.8 billion, Rp.10,957.0 billion and Rp.11,348.4 billion (U.S.$1,041.1 million) in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Net cash flows from financing activities in these three years comprised primarily proceeds from borrowing, repayments of outstanding indebtedness and payments of cash dividends. In 2008, cash flows used in financing activities increased by Rp.391.4 billion, or 3.6%, primarily due to an increase of Rp.1,986.1 billion in cash dividends paid, an increase of Rp.1,548.0 billion in repayment of long-term borrowings, a decrease of Rp.1,076.2 billion in the proceeds from short-term borrowings and an increase of Rp.863.1 in payment for purchase of treasury stock, as offset by an increase of Rp.3,314.0 billion in proceeds from long-term borrowings.
Repayments of Current Indebtedness
As of December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, approximately 28.8%, 27.8% and 22.3%, respectively, of our 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. Dollars, such that the Rupiah amount of our cash flows used for the repayment of long-term liabilities was significantly affected by the depreciation of the Rupiah in 2008, compared to the depreciation of the Rupiah in 2007 and appreciation in 2006.
In 2006, 2007 and 2008, we made net repayments of current indebtedness for borrowed money of Rp.2,542.1 billion, Rp.6,241.5 billion and Rp.5,982.3 billion (U.S.$548.8 million), respectively. Cash outflows in 2008 reflected payments for:
  short-term borrowings of Rp.582.2 billion;
 
  long-term borrowings of Rp.4,865.4 billion;
 
  promissory notes of Rp.200.8 billion; and
 
  capital lease obligation of Rp.333.9 billion.

WORKING CAPITAL
Net working capital, calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities amounted to Rp.(4,696.5) billion as of December 31, 2007 and Rp.(12,375.8) billion (U.S.$(1,135.4) million) as of December 31, 2008. The decrease in net working capital was principally due to increases in trade accounts payable-third parties, accrued expenses, and current maturities of long-term liabilities. These increases were partially offset by increases in prepaid expenses, claims for tax refunds, and other current assets.
CURRENT ASSETS
Current assets were Rp.15,978.1 billion (U.S.$1,700.9 million) as of December 31, 2007 and Rp.14,622.3 billion (U.S.$1,341.5 million) as of December 31, 2008, reflecting a decrease of Rp.1,355.8 billion, or 8.5%. The decrease in current assets was primarily due to:
  decrease of Rp.3,250.8 billion, or 32.1%, in cash and cash equivalents from Rp.10,140.8 billion in 2007 to Rp.6,889.9 billion in 2008;
 
  decrease of Rp.41.6 billion, or 27.7%, in other receivables — net of allowance for doubtful accounts from Rp.150.5 billion in 2007 to Rp.108.9 billion in 2008;
These decreases were partially offset by:
  increase of Rp.95.9 billion, or 21.4%, in trade receivables-related parties from Rp.449.1 billion in 2007 to Rp.545.0 billion in 2008;
 
  increase of Rp.300.5 billion, or 142.1%, in inventories from Rp.211.4 billion in 2007 to Rp.512.0 billion in 2008; and
 
  increase of Rp.161.9 billion, or 39.7%, in claims for tax refund from Rp.408.0 billion in 2007 to Rp.570.0 billion in 2008.
At December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, approximately 19.4%, 19.2% and 21.2% respectively, of our current assets were denominated in foreign currencies, principally U.S. Dollars and Euros and Japanese Yen. The movements of Rupiah exchange rate against foreign currencies in those years affected the value of current assets.
Trade Receivables
See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for details.
Restricted Time Deposits
See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for details.
CURRENT LIABILITIES
Current liabilities were Rp.20,674.6 billion as of December 31, 2007 and Rp.26,998.2 billion as of December 31, 2008, reflecting an increase of Rp.6,323.5 billion, or 30.6%, which is mainly due to an increase in Rupiah denominated current liabilities. The increase in current liabilities primarily arose from increases in the following: (a) trade payable for third parties; (b) current maturities of long-term liabilities; (c) accrued expenses; and (d) unearned income.
Current Maturities of Long-term Liabilities
See Note 20a to our consolidated financial statements for details.
Accrued Expenses

  standby/contingency budget to support the dynamic market of High End Market (“HEM”) and wholesale customers, fixed wireless network and BWA.
Other Financing Techniques
Similar to many Indonesian state-owned enterprises, we had 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, we funded our capital investments largely through internally generated cash flows from operating activities and direct borrowing from commercial banks. In addition, we accessed the debt capital markets for a portion of our financing needs. Currently, we are presently exploring alternative sources of financing for capital investment, including vendor-procured and other bank financing, as well as other potential sources of borrowed funds.
Revenue Sharing
See Note 48 to our consolidated financial statements for details.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with Indonesian GAAP, as well as the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP, requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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. Management continually evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to useful lives and carrying value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, valuation allowance for receivables, 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 our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe 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.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
An allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amounts of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. The amount of allowance is recognized in the consolidated statement of income within operating expenses and general and administrative expenses. We determine the allowance based on historical write-off experience. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts every month. Past due balance 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 their collectibility. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We do not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to our customers.

Carrying Amount of Property, Plant and Equipment and Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We estimate the useful life of our 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 life is estimated at the time an asset is acquired and is 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. We review these types of asset 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, we use projected 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.
The Company and its subsidiaries review and evaluate the residual values and useful lives of their property, plant and equipment at least at each financial year-end. If the residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. The Company and its subsidiaries also review and evaluate the depreciation methods applied at least at each financial year-end. If there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset, the method is changed and the change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.
In 2006, Telkomsel was granted the right to operate the 3G license. Telkomsel is required to pay an up-front fee and the annual rights of usage (“BHP”) fee for the next ten years. The up-front fee is recorded as intangible asset and amortized using the straight line method over the term of the right to operate the 3G license of 10 years. Amortization commences from the date when the assets attributable to the provision of the related services are available for use. Based on Telkomsel’s management’s interpretation of the license conditions and the written confirmation from the Directorate General of Post and Telecommunication, it is believed that the license could be returned at any time without any financial obligation to pay the remaining outstanding BHP fees. Based on this fact, Telkomsel concluded that it has acquired the right to operate the 3G license by making annual payments. Accordingly, Telkomsel recognized the annual BHP fees as expenses when incurred.
Pension and Post-retirement Benefits
We are committed to pay pension and other post-retirement benefits to our employees and former employees who have reached 56 years of age. The cost and the net obligations of these benefits, which are calculated at the present value of estimated future benefits that the employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, less fair value of plan assets and as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and unrecognized past service cost, depend on a number of factors which are determined on an actuarial basis utilizing a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net periodic benefit cost (income) for pension and post-retirement benefits include the expected long-term rate of return on the relevant plan 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 benefit cost (income) recorded for pension and post-retirement benefits.
We use the long-term historical actual return information and the estimated future long-term investment return information by reference to external sources, taking into account the current and expected asset allocations, to develop its expected rate of return on plan assets.
At the end of each year, we determined 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. TELKOM used the yield-to-maturity of Indonesian Government Bonds as currently there is no deep market for high quality corporate bonds that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability. As of December 31, 2008, our discount rate was 12%. Due to the fact that there are very limited types of high-quality debt instruments in Indonesia coupled with the lack of ability to estimate interest rates, we believe that the yield-to-maturity of the Indonesian Government Bonds represents the most appropriate discount rate to measure the present value of the benefit obligations at year end. Changes in such rates due to

103


Table of Contents

changes in the reference Indonesian Government Bonds brought about by changing economic conditions in Indonesia and throughout the world would affect the recognition of our pension and post-retirement benefit obligations and as a consequence, could materially affect our financial position and results of operations.
The expected rate of medical cost has been determined by comparing the historical relationship of its actual medical cost increases with the rate of general inflation in the Indonesian economy and health care utilization patterns. Past experience has shown that its actual medical costs have on average increased by a factor of 6% above the general rate of inflation. The projected medical cost trend was 8% and 8%, as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. See Note 44 to our consolidated financial statements.
The 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:
                 
    1-Percentage-Point   1-Percentage-Point
    Increase   Decrease
Effect on total of service and interest cost components
    121.219       (99.454)  
Effect on post-retirement benefit obligation
    866.498       (716.245)  
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 accrued at the time we make a commitment to provide early retirement benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy. We are committed to a termination when and only when we have a detailed formal plan for the early retirement cannot be withdrawn.
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 be realized in future periods.
Under Indonesian tax regulations as of the date of this Annual Report, dividends distributed by a company to a corporate stockholder, 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 investments in our affiliated companies with a minimum share ownership of 25% and have businesses other than as a holding company, and dividends distributions from a company to a corporate stockholder 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 us to determine that we no longer expects to realize our interest in the undistributed earnings of the particular affiliated company in a manner which enables us to take advantage of the zero percent tax rate applicable to dividend distributions. Such a change in the future would require us to recognize a deferred tax liability with a commensurate charge to our income statement.
Deferred tax is calculated at the enacted tax rates at the balance sheet date. If enacted tax rates changed, we would adjust our deferred tax assets and liabilities, through the income tax expense in the period of change, to reflect the enacted tax rate expected to be in effect when the deferred tax items reverse.
Lease Transaction
A lease is classified into finance lease or operating lease based on the substance not the form of the contract. Property, plant and equipment under finance lease is recognized if the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are stated at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Any initial direct costs of the Company and its subsidiaries are added to the amount recognized as an asset. Minimum lease payments is apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rents is charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Legal Contingencies
As of the date of this Annual Report, we are involved in certain legal proceedings and have accrued amounts that represent an 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 the current accruals are adequate, a future event or change in the facts and circumstances may require that we make additional accruals that would be charged to our income statement in the future. See Note 51 to our consolidated financial statements.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We make investments to improve our product and service offerings. Such expenditure amounted to approximately Rp.8.7 billion, Rp.6.7 billion and Rp.9.7 billion (U.S.$0.9 million) in 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively. In 2008, these expenditures related to research and development of video conferencing, SMS, CMS system, CDMA lab, measuring system and other content development.
TREND INFORMATION
A number of developments have had and may have in the future a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition and capital expenditures. These developments include:
  development of broadband access networks;
 
  faster fixed wireless development, tower sharing with Telkomsel, and establishment of the fixed wireless division as a separated business unit;
 
  the development of triple play, application and content multimedia services;
 
  the implementation of integrated customer centric application; and
 
  the completion of Asia America Gateway (AAG) consortium project to accrete international bandwidth quota (AAG is an undersea cable consortium consisting of 19 companies from 17 countries (Asia Pacific and the United States).
 
  the ability of the Government to issue new licenses to international, long distance and VOIP operator;
We believe that competition among the different operators will continue in 2009; however the level of competition may be reduced given the possibility of a reduction in capital expenditures by other operators and the decline in consumer spending as a result of the global financial crisis.

MATERIAL LITIGATION
Commissions for the Supervision of Business Competition (Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha) (“KPPU”)
In November 19 2007, the KPPU, an independent body for supervising fair competition in Indonesia, sanctioned Temasek Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“Temasek”), Singapore’s state-owned investment firm, and Telkomsel for violations of Indonesian anti-monopoly and unfair business practices regulation. In its ruling, KPPU found that Temasek violated cross-ownership regulations in Indonesian telecommunications industry through its indirect ownership of Telkomsel and Indosat. The KPPU imposed a fine on Telkomsel and ordered it to reduce its tariffs by a minimum of 15%. Temasek was ordered to release all of its shares in Telkomsel to unassociated buyers within two years. On May 9, 2008, the Central Jakarta District Court denied an appeal by Temasek and ordered Temasek to divest its stake in either Telkomsel or Indosat, or reduce its holdings in both companies by 50% within 12 months. However, this court overturned a request from KPPU that Telkomsel be forced to reduce its tariffs by 15% and also lowered the fine imposed upon Telkomsel to Rp.15,000 million. On appeal, the Indonesian Supreme Court the (“SC”), in its decision on September 9, 2008, ordered Temasek to divest all of its shares in Temkomsel or Indosat within 12 months or reduce its holdings in each of these two companies by 50%. The SC also imposed on each of Temasek and Telkomsel a fine of Rp.15 billion.
On May 22, 2008, Telkomsel filed an appeal to the SC. In its verdict on September 9, 2008, the SC revoked the Court’s verdict on the instruction to Temasek Holdings and certain affiliated companies to release their ownership in either Indosat or Telkomsel. As of the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements, Telkomsel is still reviewing the result and exploring options for further action, including the option for a judicial review by the SC.
The Company, Telkomsel and seven other local operators are being investigated by the KPPU for allegations of SMS cartel practices. As a result of the investigations, on June 17, 2008, KPPU found that the Company, Telkomsel and certain other local operators had been proven to have violated Law No. 5/1999 article 5 and fined the Company and Telkomsel Rp.18,000 million and Rp.25,000 million, respectively.
Employee Matters
A former Director of Human Resources and an employee of TELKOM were indicted under the anti-corruption law in the Bandung District Court relating to allegations of misuse of authority in procuring consultancy services resulting to losses of Rp.789 million. On May 2, 2007, the Bandung District Court found each defendant guilty, sentenced each to a one-year prison term and imposed a fine of Rp.50 million. The defendants filed an appeal to the West Java High Court objecting to the District Court ruling. On October 3, 2007, the West Java High Court overturned the Bandung District Court ruling and found the defendants not guilty. The District Attorney filed an appeal to the Indonesia Supreme Court into objection to the High Court ruling. As the date of this Annual Report, no decision has been reached on the appeal.
On January 2, 2006, the Attorney General initiated an investigation into allegations of misuse of telecommunications facilities in connection with the provision of VoIP services, whereby one of TELKOM’s former employees and four of TELKOM’s employees in KSO VII were named as suspects. As a result of the investigations, one of TELKOM’s former employees and two of TELKOM’s employees were indicted in the Makassar District Court, and two other employees were indicted in the Denpasar District Court for their alleged corruption in KSO VII.
On January 29, 2008, the Makassar District Court found that there was no misuse of authority and released the individuals from all indictment. An appeal has been filed with Indonesian Supreme Court objecting the Makassar District Court ruling.
On March 3, 2008, Denpasar District Court found the defendants guilty and sentenced each defendant to one year and six-month and one year prison term, respectively, and a fine of Rp.50 million. The defendants have appealed to the Bali High Court objecting to the District Court ruling. As of the date of this Annual Report, no decision has been reached on the appeal.

Class Action Lawsuits
Certain subscribers of Telkomsel, Indosat and Excelcomindo filed class action lawsuits with the Bekasi District Court and the Tangerang District Court against Telkomsel, TELKOM, Indosat, Excelcomindo, Government, Temasek Holdings and certain of its affiliated companies (“Parties”). The Parties were alleged to have used excessive price practices that have potentially adversely affected those subscribers (see Notes 51e to our consolidated financial statements for details). On July 15, 2008, plaintiffs domiciled at Bekasi District Court withdrew their claims. As of the date of this Annual Report, the lawsuit at the Tangerang District Court is still in progress.
Other Disputes
The Company is a party in various legal actions involving land and other disputes. Based on Management’s estimate of the probable outcome of pending matters, the Company made provisions of Rp.1.06 billion as of December 31, 2008. See Note 51 to our consolidated financial statements for further details.
Significant Changes

Within such scope of responsibility, the BoD is authorized, subject to the written approval of the BoC, to, among others, transfer, exchange, sell or buy business segments; enter into license and other agreements; and engage in loan transactions.
The Articles do not contain any requirement for the directors to (i) retire by a specified age, or (ii) 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 our financial condition and in accordance with the resolution of the shareholders 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 shareholders;
 
  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;
 
  redemption provisions. There are no stock redemption provisions in the Articles. However, based on Article 30 of Indonesian Company Law, we may buy back up to 10% of our issued and outstanding shares;
 
  reserved fund provisions. Retained earnings up to a minimum of 20% of the issued capital of the Company are 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, a general meeting of shareholders may authorize the Company to utilize such excess funds as dividends;
 
  liability for further capital calls. Our shareholders may be asked to subscribe for new shares in the Company from time to time. Such rights are to be offered to shareholders prior to being offered to third parties and may be transferred at the option of the shareholder. The BoD is authorized to offer the new shares to third parties in the event that an existing shareholder is unable or unwilling to subscribe for such new shares; and
 
  provisions discriminating against any existing or prospective holder of such securities because 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 —‘Series A’— Dwiwarna share and any other shareholders or their authorized proxies jointly representing at least two thirds (2/3) of the total number of votes cast in the meeting.
General meeting of shareholders may only be convened upon the issuance of the requisite notice by the Company. The notice is to be published in at least two newspapers in Indonesian having general circulation within Indonesia and one newspaper in English. The notice period for convening annual general meetings and extraordinary general meetings is 14 days (not including the date the notice and the date of summons) respectively. The quorum for the general meeting is shareholders representing more than a half of the outstanding share capital of the Company. In the event that quorum is not achieved, another meeting is to be held, which does not require the issue of a notice. At the second meeting, the quorum for the meeting is shareholders representing at least 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, with the quorum of attendance, number of votes to pass resolutions, summons and time to hold the Meeting to be determined by the Chairman of the Capital Market and Financial Institution Supervisory Agency and based on the provisions of the laws.
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 at least three fourths of the total number of shares at a general meeting of shareholders 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—LK with regard to their ownership and the changes of their ownership in the Company and this obligation also applies to shareholders who have an ownership of 5% or more in the paid up capital of the Company. We believe that the Articles are not significantly different from those generally prevailing in Indonesia in respect of public companies listed on an Indonesian stock exchange. We also believe that the provisions in the Articles relating to changes in our capital 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 out a brief, general summary of significant differences between the corporate governance practices followed by Indonesian companies, such as us, and those required by the listing standards of NYSE of U.S. companies that have Common Stock listed on the NYSE.
Overview of Indonesian 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 as amended by the Limited Liability Company Law No. 40 Year 2007 (“Indonesian Company Law”); the Law No. 8 of 1995 on Capital Market (“Capital Market Law”); the Law No. 19 of 2003 on State-Owned Enterprises; the Decree of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises No. KEP-117/M.MBU/2002 on the Implementation of Good Corporate Governance Practice; the Regulations of the Indonesian Capital Market Supervisory Board (“Bapepam Regulations”); and the rules issued by the (“IDX”). In addition to the above statutory requirements, the articles of association of 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.
On November 30, 2004, the National Committee on Governance (the “NCG”) was established pursuant to the Decree of the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs No. KEP-49/M.EKONOM/1/TAHUN 2004, which is expected to revitalize the former National Committee on Good Corporate Governance established in 1999. The NCG aimed at enhancing comprehension and implementation of good governance in Indonesia and advises the Government on governance issues, both in public and corporate sectors.
As a result, the NCG formulated the Code for Good Corporate Governance 2006 (the “Code”) which recommended setting more stringent corporate governance standards for Indonesian companies, such as the appointment of independent commissioners and nomination and remuneration committees by the BoC, as well as increasing the scope of disclosure obligations for Indonesian companies. Although the NCG 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.
Composition of Independence Board of Directors
The NYSE listing standards provide that the BoD 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 BoC and the BoD. Generally, the BoD is responsible for the day-to-day business activities of the company and is authorized to act for and on behalf of the company, while the BoC has the authority and responsibility to supervise the BoD and is statutorily mandated to provide advice to the BoD.

110


Table of Contents

With regard to the BoC, the Indonesia Company Law requires a public company’s BoC to have at least two members. Although the Indonesia Company Law is silent as to the composition of the BoC, Listing Regulation No. lA issued by the IDX 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 Indonesia 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 whom must meet the minimum qualification requirements set forth in the Indonesian Company Law. The Decree of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises No. KEP-117/M.MBU/2002 states that at least 20% of the members of BoD must be unaffiliated.
Given the difference between the role of the members of the BoD in an Indonesian company and 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, Bapepam Regulation No. IX.I.5 and Listing Regulation No. 1A issued by the IDX does require the BoC of a listed public company (such as us) to form committees that will oversee the company’s audit process (which committee must be headed by an independent member of the BoC).
We have an audit committee composed of six members: two independent commissioners and four members who are not affiliated with us. NYSE Listing rules adopted pursuant to Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act require a foreign private issuer with securities listed on the NYSE to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. Under Rule 10A-3 (c) (3), however, foreign private issuers are exempt from the independence requirements if (i) the home country government or stock exchange requires the company to have an audit committee; (ii) the audit committee is separate from the BoD and has members from both inside and outside the BoD; (iii) the audit committee members are not elected by the management and no executive officer of the company is a member of the audit committee; (iv) the home country government or stock exchange has requirements for an audit committee independent from the management of the company; and (v) the audit committee is responsible for the appointment, retention and oversight of the work of external auditors. We avail ourselves of this exemption as set forth in our Section 303A Annual Written Affirmations submitted to the NYSE. The NYSE listing standards and the charter of our 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, our audit committee does not have direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation and retention of our external auditor. Our audit committee can only recommend the appointment of the external auditor to the BoC, and the BoC’s decision is subject to shareholder approval.
Our BoC has a nomination and remuneration committee. The committee is tasked with formulating selection criteria and nomination procedures for Commissioners and Directors and a compensation system for Commissioners and Directors.
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. Indonesian law does not have disclosure requirements similar to NYSE listing standards. However, the Capital Market Law generally requires Indonesian public companies to disclose certain types of information to shareholders and to Bapepam—LK, 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 us, 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 “Code of Ethics.”
MATERIAL CONTRACTS
Acquisition of Sigma by Metra
On February 22, 2008, our wholly-owned subsidiary Metra closed on the acquisition of a 80% stake in Sigma, an Indonesian IT company, from Trozenin Management Plc (Malaysia) and PT Sigma Citra Harmoni. In connection with this acquisition, the parties entered into an agreement for the sale and purchase of the shares on December 18, 2007, which was amended on February 21, 2008 primarily to amend the allocation of shares to be sold between the two selling shareholders, set the closing date and amend certain closing conditions. Sigma provides software development and customization, integrated systems and network, resource management and internet services to the banking sector. The consideration for the share acquisition was U.S.$35.2 million and was primarily funded internally.
Supply Contract for the Procurement and Installation of the Batam Singapore Cable System (“BSCS”)
On March 3, 2008, TELKOM entered into a supply contract for the purchase and installation of the BSCS by NEC Corporation connecting the networks between Batam — Singapore amounting to U.S.$13.1 million (including VAT). Pursuant to this contract, TELKOM became a member of the AAG Undersea Cable Consortium, consisting of 19 members (including TELKOM), with landing points in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Guam, Hawaii and St. Luis Obispo (U.S. Mainland). The BSCS connects TELKOM’s networks to the Singapore landing point of the AAG Undersea Cable Network.

On April 30, 2009, the Reuters buy and sell rates were Rp.10,213 and Rp.11,213 to U.S.$1.
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 U.S.$10,000. As a state-owned company, we, based on the decree of the Head of Foreign Commercial Loan Coordinating Team (“PKLN”), are 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 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 went 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 against the U.S. Dollar by approximately 4% annually. Since the free-floating regime was implemented in August 1997, the Rupiah fluctuation has been significant. During 2008, the average rate of Rupiah to the U.S. Dollar was Rp.9,691, with the highest and lowest rates being Rp.12,400 and Rp.9,051, respectively.
TAXATION
THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY OF INDONESIAN AND U.S. 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 at the most 183 days within 12 month period, 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.

Table of Contents

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 shareholders’ 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, 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 IDX 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, 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 received by a non-resident taxpayer in a non-public company to be 25% of the sale price, resulting in an effective withholding tax rate of 5% of the sales price. This is a final withholding tax and the obligation to pay lies with the buyer (if it is an Indonesian taxpayer) or the Company (if the buyer is a non-resident taxpayer). Exemption from withholding tax on income from the sale of shares in a non-public company may be available to non-resident sellers of shares depending on the provisions of the relevant double taxation treaties. In order to benefit from the exemption under the relevant double taxation treaty, the non-resident seller must provide the Certificate of Tax Residence to the buyer or the Company and to the Indonesian Tax Office that has jurisdiction over the buyer or the Company (if the buyer is a non-resident taxpayer).
In cases where a purchaser or Indonesian broker will be required under Indonesian tax laws to withhold tax on payment of the purchase price for Common Stock or ADSs, that payment may be exempt from Indonesian withholding or other Indonesian income tax under applicable double taxation treaties to which Indonesia is a party (including the U.S.-Indonesia double taxation treaty). However, except for the sale or transfer of shares in a non-public company, the current Indonesian tax regulations do not provide specific procedures for removing the purchaser’s or Indonesian broker’s obligation to withhold tax from the proceeds of such sale. To take advantage of the double taxation treaty relief, 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.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of ADSs or Common Stock by U.S. Holder’s (as defined below) that hold their ADSs or Common Stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Tax Code”). This summary is based upon existing U.S. federal income tax

115


Table of Contents

law, which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect.
This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation which may be important to particular investors in light of their individual investment circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules (for example, financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers, partnerships and their partners, and tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)), holders who are not U.S. Holders, investors that will hold ADSs or Common Stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss any state, local, or non-U.S. tax considerations. Each holder is urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, and non-U.S. income and other tax considerations of their investment in the ADSs or Common Stock.
For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of ADSs or Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S., (ii) a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created in, or organized under the law of, the U.S. or any State or political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has otherwise elected to be treated as a U.S. person under the Tax Code.
If a partnership is a beneficial owner of ADSs or Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders of ADSs will be treated as the beneficial owners of the underlying Common Stock represented by the ADSs.
Threshold PFIC Classification Matters
A non-U.S. corporation, such as the Company, will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes, if 75% or more of its gross income consists of certain types of “passive” income or 50% or more of its assets are passive. Based on the Company’s current income and assets, the Company presently does not believe that it should be classified as a PFIC. Because PFIC status is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis, no assurance can be given that the Company is not or will not become classified as a PFIC. The discussion below under “Dividends” and “Sale or Other Disposition of ADSs or Common Stock” is written on the basis that the Company will not be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Dividends
Any cash distributions paid by the Company out of earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, will be subject to tax as dividend income and will be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder upon receipt. A non-corporate recipient of dividend income will generally be subject to tax on dividend income from a “qualified foreign corporation” at a maximum U.S. federal tax rate of 15% rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income provided that certain holding period requirements are met. A non-U.S. corporation (other than a PFIC) generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (i) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the U.S. which the Secretary of Treasury of the U.S. 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 (or ADSs backed by such stock) which is readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. There is currently a tax treaty in effect between the U.S. and Indonesia which the Secretary of Treasury has determined is satisfactory for these purposes and the Company believes it should be eligible for the benefits of the treaty. Additionally, because the ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, an established securities market in the U.S., they are considered readily tradable on that exchange.

The amount of any cash distribution paid in Rupiah should equal the U.S. Dollar value of such Rupiah on the date of receipt of the distribution, regardless of whether the Rupiah are actually converted into U.S. Dollars at that time. Gain or loss, if any, recognized on a subsequent sale, conversion, or other disposition of Rupiah generally will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss. Dividends received on the ADSs or Common Stock will generally not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations.
Dividends generally will be treated as income from foreign sources for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. A U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on ADSs or Common Stock. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld, may instead claim a deduction, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholdings, but only for a year in which such holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes.
Sale or Other Disposition of ADSs or Common Stock
A U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of ADSs or Common Stock in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in such ADSs or Common Stock. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term if the ADSs or Common Stock have been held for more than one year and will generally be U.S. source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. The deductibility of a capital loss may be subject to limitations.
Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) Considerations
If the Company were to be classified as a PFIC in any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would be subject to special rules generally intended to reduce or eliminate any benefits from the deferral of U.S. federal income tax that a U.S. Holder could derive from investing in a non-U.S. company that does not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis. In such event, a U.S. Holder may be subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates on (i) any gain recognized on the sale of ADSs or Common Stock and (ii) any “excess distribution” paid on ADSs or Common Stock (generally, a distribution in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions paid by us in the three preceding taxable years). In addition, a U.S. Holder may be subject to an interest charge on such gain or excess distribution. Finally, the 15% maximum rate on Company dividends would not apply if the Company becomes classified as a PFIC. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the potential tax consequences to such holder if the Company is or becomes classified as a PFIC, as well as certain elections that may be available to mitigate such consequences.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls And Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act’’)), as of December 31, 2008. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment The Company’s management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO’’). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by Kantor Akuntan Publik Haryanto Sahari & Rekan, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears on pages F-3 - F-4 herein.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weaknesses
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2007, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The two material weaknesses we reported as of December 31, 2007 are summarized as follows:
(1)   The Company did not adequately maintain effective controls, including monitoring controls and the dissemination of policies and procedures over its financial close and reporting process. Specifically, i) We did not maintain a sufficient complement of staff who fully understand the complexities of our business to adequately interpret and apply GAAP ii) We did not adequately design and review the completeness and accuracy of the application of accounting policies and procedures used to prepare and present the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, we did not maintain appropriate segregation of duties around the opening and closing of accounting periods and the posting of period end journals.
 
(2)   The Company did not adequately maintain effective controls over its accounting for property, plant and equipment. Specifically, the Company did not maintain controls to ensure the existence, completeness and valuation of its fixed assets.
The Company has had an ongoing program throughout 2007 and 2008 to improve the design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting. The Company evaluated its controls and concluded that the improvements in the design and operation of controls have been functioning effectively as at December 31, 2008. As a result, management has concluded that the material weaknesses previously disclosed in the 2007 Annual Report on Form 20-F have been remediated as at December 31, 2008. The key changes in internal control and remedial activities related to the previously reported material weaknesses are discussed below:
1)   Financial close and reporting processes:
    Enhanced its financial close and reporting processes to strengthen management’s ability to assess the appropriateness, adequacy and applicability of accounting policies and procedures, to ensure compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. In particular, we strengthened our procedures to ensure a full review of changes in local and US accounting pronouncements are appropriately adopted. We also engaged the services of an external consultant to help us assess new accounting pronouncements, critically evaluate the accounting implications of all new transactions entered into by the Company and the preparation of our financial statements and disclosures therein.
 
    Formed a working group led by the Chief Financial Officer, and including representatives of the finance policy department and the accounting department with sufficient knowledge of the Company’s operations and the accounting standards, to monitor the application of the accounting policies and procedures. During the year, the working group communicated with key process owners and conducted training to enhance their understanding and ability to implement of the Company’s accounting policies and procedures accurately and consistently at all locations.
 
    Improved the procedures for reviewing and monitoring the financial close and reporting process. Specifically we have strengthened our review of closing journal entries and preparation of appropriate financial statement disclosures, to ensure that transactions are recorded timely, accurately and completely and that information presented in the financial statements is supported by sufficient analysis and supporting evidence. We also engaged an external consultant to assist us in ensuring the completeness and accuracy of the financial statement disclosures and compliance with GAAP.
 
    Increased the number of staff with relevant accounting qualifications to support financial close and reporting activities. This included external recruitment of accountants.
 
    Improved user access and segregation of duties related to our key financial applications and processes, in particular in the opening and closing of accounting periods and the posting of period end journals.
2)   Accounting for property plant and equipment:
    Improved the design of controls over the verification of the existence of fixed assets. Specifically we established detailed cyclical physical count processes, with the assistance of an external consultant, to ensure coverage of all assets within 3 to 5 years from date of acquisition, depending on the nature of the asset. These procedures prioritize high value assets and those with higher risk of misappropriation and/or loss.
 
    Improved the usage of existing network monitoring tools to ensure assets are operational and to attain comfort over their existence.
 
    Enhanced the reconciliation between the fixed asset sub-ledger and general ledger to ensure timely follow up of unreconciled items.
 
    Conducted regular internal training to embed our staff’s understanding of fixed asset control procedures, in particular, the importance of the transactional related controls.
 
    The Company has established improved procedures to complete its assessment of indicators of asset impairment, asset impairment reviews and valuations, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company is committed to continuing to improve its internal control processes and will continue to diligently review and monitor its financial reporting controls and procedures in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules promulgated by the Commission. The Company will also continue to devote significant resources to the improvement of its internal control over financial reporting over time.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as described above in the paragraph titled Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weaknesses there have been no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal year that would materially affect or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the changes stated above, we have remediated the previously reported material weaknesses relating to the financial close and reporting process and the accounting for property plant & equipment.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
The BoC has determined that Mr. Sahat Pardede, as an independent member of our Audit Committee, qualifies as an Audit Committee Financial Expert in accordance with the requirements of Item 16A of Form 20-F. Mr. Pardede has been a member of our Audit Committee since February 2004. Prior to his appointment as a member of our Audit Committee, Mr. Pardede practiced, and is currently practicing, as a Certified Public Accountant in Indonesia and provided auditing services and other financial services to numerous private companies and public institutions. Mr. Pardede graduated with a degree in accounting from the State College of Accountancy, Jakarta and holds a master degree in business administration from Saint Mary’s University, Canada. He is a Certified Public Accountant and is also a member of the Indonesian Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
CODE OF ETHICS
We have a code of ethics in accordance with the provisions of SOA Section 406. Our code of ethics applies to its President Director, Finance Director (being its officers in equivalent positions to a Chief Executive Officer and a Chief Financial Officer) and persons performing similar functions as well as to our Commissioners, Directors and other officers and employees. Our code of ethics may be viewed on the company web site at www.TELKOM-indonesia.com/about-TELKOM/business-ethics. If we amend the provisions of our code of ethics that applies to our President Director, Finance Director and persons performing similar functions, or if we grant any waiver of such provisions, we will disclose such amendment or waiver on the company web site at the same address.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Tax Fees
PwC did not perform any tax compliance, tax advisory or tax planning services for us in 2006, 2007 or 2008.
All Other Fees
PwC did not perform any non-audit services for us in 2006, 2007 or 2008.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
We have adopted pre-approval policies and procedures under which all non-audit services provided by its independent public accounting firm must be pre-approved by our audit committee as set forth in the audit committee’s charter. Pursuant to the charter, permissible non-audit services may be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm provided that: (a) our BoD must deliver to the Audit Committee (through the BoC) 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 our independent public accounting firm or would give rise to any conflict of interest.
Consistent with Section 10(i) (1) (B) of the Exchange Act paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 Regulation S-X issued thereunder, the charter of our 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 us to our 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 our independent public accounting firms performed non-audit services for us during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES
In accordance with Indonesian law, the Company has a two-tier board structure, consisting of a BoC and a BoD. The executive management functions are carried out by the

119


Table of Contents

BoD, while the principal statutory duties of the BoC are to supervise the policies of the BoD in the operation and management of the Company and to give advice to the BoD.
Under Indonesia Bapepam—LK rules, our audit committee must consist of at least three members, one of whom must be an Independent Commissioner 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. Our audit committee is composed of seven members and is chaired by an Independent Commissioner. Members of our audit committee are appointed and dismissed by the Board of Commissioners.
We rely on the general exemption under Rule 10A-3(c) (3) of the Exchange Act with respect to the composition of our audit committee. We believe that our reliance on the exemption would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the audit committee to act independently. We believe 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 Bapepam—LK Audit Committee Rule requires that each member of the audit committee be independent. The Bapepam—LK 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 BoC and BoD and the Company as a whole. We therefore believe that the standard established by the Bapepam—LK Audit Committee Rule is at least equally effective in ensuring the ability of the audit committee to act independently.

CHAPTER 5
COMPLIANCE
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
TELKOM is subject to regulations administered and enforced by the Bapepam-LK and the SEC. We strive to comply with these. In addition, we implemented corporate governance policies and practices based on international market standards. TELKOM is aware of the importance of the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (“GCG”) as a vital instrument to boost the business performance and accountability to stakeholders and better serve our customers.
TELKOM has fulfilled its obligation to assess its ICFR in compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act (“SOA”) Section 404. This requirement applies to US companies as well as foreign private issuers registered under the Exchange Act. TELKOM’s commitment to SOA compliance and GCG are reflected in several policies and pronouncements. These include: establishing a definite unit that handles SOA business processes under the Directorate of Compliance & Risk Management setting the duties and responsibilities of each function related to planning, execution and corporate internal control management; determining the appropriate level of corporate internal control management and achievement targets; requiring high-level officers to evaluate, plan and implement internal controls and take responsibility for actions in their areas of responsibility; arranging disclosure control policies and procedures; and documenting, reporting and providing written evaluation results on ICFR effectiveness and self assessment results on a quarterly basis.
TELKOM operates corporate internal controls in three stages: entity level, transactional level and information technology based internal control. Each of these are exemplified by corporate culture, policy making related to GCG, establishment of special units related to GCG, development of internal control systems, socialization to all lines of working units by senior leaders, control examination, audit implementation, evaluation of audit process and audit results as well as improvement stages.
Sarbanes Oxley
As an Exchange Act registered company, TELKOM is required to comply with provisions of SOA and certain rules established by the SEC under SOA and the Exchange Act. TELKOM has based its ICFR program on the SOX Section 404 guidance issued by the SEC and COSO requirements. TELKOM conducts two integrated audits: the general audit; and the ICFR audit. We conduct these audits simultaneously. TELKOM’s annual audited financial statements submitted to the SEC (as part of its annual report on Form 20-F) also, as required, includes Management’s Report on ICFR. This consists of, among others, a statement that management is responsible to develop, implement and maintain ICFR and management’s assessment on the effectiveness of ICFR.
Policy of GCG Management
Since 2005, TELKOM has had in place guidelines that focus on GCG’s responsibility. These address concerned parties (such as shareholders, the BoC and BoD, committees, heads of structural units as well as employees), BoD and BoC’s work mechanism, business ethic standards, policies and procedures, internal control, risk management and GCG Implementation Monitoring Committee.
TELKOM revised the GCG management guidelines in June 2007 to focus on GCG framework at TELKOM, external factors that drive GCG implementation, implementation procedure, structure, GCG’s key elements and the pillar of management. In addition, the guidelines also administer the GCG Implementation Monitoring Committee, GCG Organization and GCG assessment.
External factors that drive GCG Implementation
  Business environment and its players
 
    It includes entities that have an influence to the management of the company, such as business community or influential organizations, labor union, business partners, suppliers and customers who compel the company to practice business ethics. The above groups can affect the company’s activity with a different degree of intensity.
 
  The Government and Regulator

121


Table of Contents

    In order to gain trust from the market and investors, the government and regulatory bodies make certain that TELKOM practices proper financial management and complies with all rules and regulations.
 
  Investors
 
    It includes parties that are related to shareholders and stockbrokers, including brokerage firms. Investors demanded that the company’s management is aligned with the business ethic standards and principles.
 
  Financial Community
 
    It includes parties that are involved in the company’s financial administration requirements (especially for publicly traded companies), such as the stock exchange, Bapepam—LK, SEC and the State Ministry of Finance. Each of the community issues a standard on financial management and requires TELKOM to comply with them.
GCG Implementation Process
GCG Implementation at TELKOM is going through three main processes:
  Communication and Disclosure
 
    An effective communication is a driving force in shareholders’ trust on the BoC, BoD and Management. On the other hand, the BoC, BoD and Management are expected to pay attention with regard to information that must and need to be released by the company. TELKOM has an “anonymous disclosure” mechanism and internal communication or critical issue mechanism, such as whistleblower and protection for whistleblowers. Disclosure on company’s issue base on transparency, accuracy and timely is essential in assisting investors in making an investment decision. TELKOM’s policy and procedure of handling on whistleblower was approved by the BoC on September 6, 2006.
 
  Assessment and Responsibility
 
    The BoC, BoD and Management are trying to pursue value growth as well as balancing and protecting stakeholders’ interest. They establish the Company’s strategic target by using clear and appropriate Key Performance Indicators (“KPI”) to measure the achievement level of our vision and mission. The KPI achievement is regularly evaluated, assessed and compared with other companies in a similar industry or using equal benchmarks. The mechanism for assessment, evaluation and benchmarking is part of the company’s management.
 
  Internal and External Audit
 
    Auditing process applies “check and balance” principles, which means that the management strives to raise the company’s growth and value in balance, while on the other hand, auditors perform an objective audit towards policy implementation as well as business ethics, and submit the audit result to the management.
 
    While internal auditors provide reasonable and comprehensive business recommendations to the management, external auditors’ responsibilities are limited to performing the audit of the consolidated financial statements and of the internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, auditors also scrutinize the realization of business process, risk points and their management in regards to business ethic policies and applicable rules.
Structure of GCG
We are committed to implement GCG all through the General Meeting of Shareholders, The BoC, committees under the BoC, the BoD, committees under the BoD and Corporate Secretary.
A   General Meeting of Shareholders
 
    The Annual General Meetings of Shareholders (“AGMS”) and Extraordinary General Meetings of Shareholders (“EGMS”) constitute the highest governance body of the Company. The bodies are the primary forums through which shareholders exercise their rights and authorities over the management of the Company.

122


Table of Contents

    Each shareholder is entitled to receive comprehensive explanation and accurate information on required procedure regarding the AGMS and EGMS, so they can participate in decision making that can have an effect to the company’s existence and shareholders’ rights. TELKOM also protects shareholders’ rights so they can exercise them based on the Article of Association in accordance to the Company’s policies and all applicable laws. All shareholders are treated equally on the base that they have equal standing as the Company. Meanwhile, shareholders with a control interest in the company must realize their responsibility when using their influence towards the management in the voting session or on other matters.
 
    At the AGMS and EGMS, shareholders exercise their rights to elect and terminate the Company’s Commissioners or Directors, set the amount of remuneration and benefits of Commissioners and Directors, judge the performance of the Company during the fiscal year under review, decide on the use of the Company’s profit, set and distribute dividends and amend the Articles of Association. The holder of the Dwiwarna stocks series A, the Government, has additional rights to require a merger, acquisition and divestment or liquidate the Company through AGMS or EGMS’ decisions. The AGMS is held once a year, while an EGMS may be convened at any time as needed.
 
    In 2008, TELKOM held AGMS and EGMS as follows:
    An AGMS was held on June 20, 2008 that approved the Company’s 2007 Annual Report and the 2007 Annual Report on Partnership Program and Community Development. The AGMS also approved the determination of the use on 2007 net income of Rp.12.857 billion, 2007 dividend payment, the BoD and BoC’s 2008 salary, bonus for the BoD and BoC for fiscal year 2007 as well as the benefits and allowance for the BoD and BoC. The AGMS also appointed Public Accountant Office of KAP Haryanto Sahari & Rekan, a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers global network — “PwC”, to perform the integrated audit for fiscal year 2008, approved the amendment on Articles of Association in accordance to Regulations No. 40 of 2007 regarding corporation as well as the 3rd share buy-back program that was announced to the shareholders on May 23 and 26, 2008. The allocated funds for the program above are not to exceed Rp.3 trillion.
 
    The EGMS on September 19, 2008 approved the appointment of Bobby AA Nazief as a member of the BoC for an initial term of 5 years and approved term extensions for the other BoC members whom were appointed on March 10, 2004 and up for renewal.
B   Board of Commissioners
 
    The Articles of Association ( “Articles”) regulates that the principal statutory duties of the BoC are to supervise the policies of the BoD in the implementation of our business plan and the operation and management of the Company while providing advice to the BoD.
 
    The BoC does not have day-to-day management functions or authority, except in limited circumstances where all members of the BoD have been suspended for any reasons.
 
    The current BoC consists of one President Commissioner and four Commissioners, two of whom are independent. Profiles of members of the Board Commissioners are presented on page 171.
 
    Meetings of the BoC must be held at least once every month or at any other time whenever one or more members of the Board deem it necessary, or upon the written request by the BoD, or upon request by one or more shareholders holding at least one-tenth of the outstanding shares with valid voting rights. The quorum for all BoC meetings is more than one-half of the total number of Commissioners then represented in person or by proxy granted to one of the other Commissioners at such meeting.
 
    Resolutions of a meeting of the BoC require a unanimous vote. If consensus cannot be reached, it shall be by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the BoC present or represented at the meeting. In the event of a tie, the resolution shall follow the opinion of the chairman of the meeting.
 
    Scope and Responsibility of the Board of Commissioners
 
    The BoC is responsible for supervising the Directors on how they shall manage the company related to aspects of planning and development, operations and budgeting, compliance of company’s articles of association and implementing resolutions of the AGMS. They must exercise authority over its duties

123

C   Board of Commissioners’ Committees
 
    Currently, the BoC has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Planning and Risk Assessment Committee (formerly, the Review and Planning Committee) and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Audit Committee is chaired by an Independent Commissioner and each of the other two committees is chaired by a commissioner. In addition, external members to the Audit Committee, in order to be considered independent under applicable Indonesian rules: (a) must not be a member of any Indonesian registered public accountant that has provided audit and/or non-audit services to TELKOM within one year prior to his appointment to the Audit Committee; (b) must not have been a TELKOM employee within one year prior to his appointment to the Audit Committee; (c) must not own, directly or indirectly, any shares in TELKOM; and (d) must not have any business relationship that relates to TELKOM’s businesses.
  1   Audit Committee
 
      The audit committee is responsible to give its opinion to the BoC regarding the BoD’s reports and other things submitted to the BoC as well as identify matters that require the BoC’s attention and other issues regarding BoC’s responsibility. The Charter of TELKOM Group’s Audit Committee, including its revisions if necessary, is referred to the BoC’s Decree No. 20/KEP/DK/2006 of September 11, 2006.
 
      The Audit Committee consists of two Independent Commissioners, one Commissioner and four independent members from outside TELKOM. The Committee is chaired by the Company’s Independent Commissioner. Two of the members have expertise in financial, accounting, and internal control.

124


Table of Contents

      In 2008, the Audit Committee of the BoC consisted of seven members: (i) Mr. Arif Arryman, an Independent Commissioner and the Chairman; (ii) Mr. P. Sartono, an Independent Commissioner; (iii) Mr. Bobby A.A. Nazief, a Commissioner; (iv) Mr. Mohammad Ghazali Latief; (v) Mr. Salam; (vi) Mr. Sahat Pardede; and (vii) Mr. Jarot Kristiono. All of the members of the Audit Committee (except for Mr. Arif Arryman, Mr. P. Sartono, and Mr. Bobby A.A. Nazief) are independent external members and Mr. Sahat Pardede is an accounting and financial expert.
 
      Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act requires a foreign private issuer with securities listed on a U.S. exchange to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. However, foreign private issuers are exempt from the independence requirements if: (i) the home country government or exchange requires the company to have an audit committee: (ii) the audit committee is separate from the BoD and has members from both inside and outside the BoD; (iii) the audit committee member of the audit committee are not elected by the management and no executive officer of the company is a member of the audit committee: (iv) the home country government or stock exchange has requirements for an audit committee independent from the management of the company; and (v) the audit committee is responsible for the appointment, retention and oversight of the work of external auditors. We rely on the exemption under Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(c) (3) with respect to composition of our Audit Committee. We believe that our reliance on this exemption would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the audit committee to act independently. We believe that the intent of the provision in requiring that each member of the committee to be a member of the BoD 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 Bapepam—LK Audit Committee Rule requires that each member of the audit committee be independent. The Bapepam—LK Audit Committee Rule also requires that at least two of the members, the external independent members, in effect be independent not only of the management but also of the BoC and BoD and the Company as a whole. We therefore believe that the standard established by the Bapepam—LK Audit Committee Rule addresses the need of ensuring the ability of the audit committee to act independently.
 
      An Audit Committee Charter (the “Charter”) that has been adopted by the BoC governs the committee. The Charter outlines the committee’s purpose, function and responsibilities and specifies that the committee is responsible for:
    Overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the BoC. As part of its responsibilities, the committee will recommend to the BoC, subject to shareholder approval, the selection of TELKOM’s external auditor;
 
    Discussing with TELKOM’s internal and external auditors the overall scope and specific plans for their respective audits. The committee will also discuss TELKOM’s consolidated financial statements and the adequacy of TELKOM’s internal controls;
 
    Meeting regularly with TELKOM’s internal and external auditors, without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluation of TELKOM’s internal controls and the overall quality of TELKOM’s financial reporting; and
 
    Carrying out additional tasks that are assigned by the BoC, especially on financial and accounting related matters.
      The report and profiles of members of the Audit Committee are presented on pages 142 and 143.
 
  2.   Planning and Risk Assessment Committee
 
      The Planning and Risk Assessment Committee (formerly, the Review and Planning Committee) was established on July 16, 2003. The Planning and Risk Evaluation Committee’s Charter, is referred to The BoC Decree No. 06/KEP/DK/2006 of May 19, 2006. The original objective of this committee was to review the Company’s long-term plans, as well as annual business budget plans, following which recommendations would be made by this committee to the BoD. The committee is also responsible for supervising and monitoring the implementation of the business plans of the Company.

TELKOM BUSINESS ETHICS
TELKOM’s Business Ethics comprise of a set of Working Ethics and Business Ethics which are designed to sustain the Company’s growth and transformation in the future.
The Company’s Working Ethics, known as The TELKOM Way (“TTW”) 135, emphasize several elements being part of every employee, consist of one basic assumption, three prime values, and five step behaviors. The single basic assumption is called ”Committed to you” (Committed 2 U). The three prime values cover: customer value, excellent service and competent people. Five step behaviors: to win the competition, by stretching our goals, simplifying, involving everyone, achieving quality in our work, and rewarding winners. The TTW 135 is expected to create effective cultural control on how to sense, how to see, how to think and how to behave, by all TELKOM employees.
The Company’s Business Ethics imposes rules that each employee must observe in maintaining a professional, honest, fair and consistent business practice with all of our stakeholders (customers, partners, shareholders, competitors and the public). It emphasizes TELKOM’s commitment to comply with applicable rules and regulations. As a state-owned enterprise and flagship of the information and communication business in Indonesia, TELKOM must maintain a transparent and constructive relationship with the Government as the regulator and majority shareholder of the Company. This is important to address properly conflicts of interest and, at the same time, protect the interest of minority shareholders.
To implement the Company’s Business Ethics, management continuously strives to enhance employees understanding of the importance having an ethical business practice through Patriot 135 Meeting that takes place every Wednesday for 30 minutes. Unit heads provide directions and monitor the implementation of Patriot 135 Meeting from the previous month. On the fifth day of every month, unit heads report monitoring results to the Human Capital and General Affairs Directorate.
In addition, the Company also adopts certain policies to mitigate the risk of unfair dealing and fraud, by issuing Policy on Prohibition of Gratification, Whistleblower, and Anti-Fraud Protection.
Policy on Prohibition of Grafitication
TELKOM has implemented a policy applicable to all employees, including the management, prohibiting the improper giving or receiving of money, goods, amenities or in any other form, including gifts to or from Government official, co-worker, business partner or other parties that can influence one’s position or job as a senior officer or an employee of TELKOM.
Regulation and Procedure on Whistleblower
In an attempt to implement GCG and company values as well as to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act (“SOA 404). TELKOM has employed reporting rules and procedures that include how to gather and deal with complaints.
The SOA 404 has revamped internal control over financial reporting by using the framework of COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organization) that incorporates control on a transactional level and entity level. The Audit Committee as one of the internal control constituents is required to carry out whistleblower policy and procedure by recognizing, appraising and responding to complaints, especially the ones made by employees.
Anti-Fraud Policy
The Board of Directors are committed to thwart fraud from happening through an integrated management structure and effective internal controls starting from entity level and all the way up to transactional process. The management routinely performs a joint-effort with all business units to minimize the risk of fraud and constantly improves on-going policies and business process.

COMPLIANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
As a company that has a strong commitment to carrying out good corporate governance, TELKOM applies risk management in all business units. To ensure that risk management is implemented effectively, the Directorate of Compliance and Risk Management (CRM) has established a vision: “Making risk management part of our business process and operations” and a mission: “Being a partner for TELKOM’s business and operational units”.
This vision and mission are articulated in the risk management roadmap for the period 2008, as follows:
  2008: making risk management and compliance an essential part of each business process.
 
  2009: ensuring the implementation of risk management and compliance.
 
  2010: making risk management and compliance a corporate culture.
 
  2011: ensuring that risk management and compliance are working effectively.
 
  2012: becoming a role model for risk management and compliance for the telecommunications industry or for state-owned enterprises.
In general, risk management has been applied as part of the operational activities of TELKOM’s employees. In actuality, risk management is intended to maintain the balance between business target achievement and managing business risks while upholding the most stringent prudential principles.
In order to achieve this vision and mission, TELKOM has developed four key initiatives:
  to assist policy enhancement through evaluating, improving and enhancing internal policies in support of risk management;
 
  to enhance the understanding of effective business processes by simplifying or eliminating ineffective business processes;
 
  to undertake risk assessment and mitigation control that covers strategic initiatives, RKAP and self-assessment of risk management in all units. Moreover, risk assessment and fraud risk assessment of ICFR is done through the SOA business process.
 
  to strengthen internal controls over all corporate operations that are for the purpose of asset protection, provide sufficient and accurate information, and ensure that business processes are effective and efficient and in compliance with the regulations.
In 2008, TELKOM took a number of measures to improve its policies and business process effectiveness, including, among others:
  continuing the restructuring of policies and decision-making processes by reinforcing the functions of initiator, reviewer and approver (6-eyes principle);
 
  improving the documentation management policy, compiling standards for commercial contracts, and a number of policies on legal compliance and legal aid;
 
  facilitating the improvement of the Business Continuity Plan (“BCP”);
 
  improving the security and safety management policy;
 
  reviewing the revenue assurance and anti-fraud management policy and business process;
 
  Taking remedial action on the SOA business process and internal business processes in accordance with the changes in the organization and corporate policies in respect of increasing business effectiveness.
During 2008, TELKOM also implemented risk assessment and a number of mitigation control measures through:
  formulating guidelines and performing risk assessment and fraud risk assessment;
 
  establishing a Risk Reviewer unit to perform risk assessment in strategic decision making;
 
  evaluating the results of risk assessment to construct TELKOM’s risk profile;
 
  periodically monitoring risk developments through the risk management reporting system and considering their impact on the company’s annual budget (sensitivity analysis/stress test).

TELKOM also took a number of measures to implement and maintain internal control, including:
  improving the design of the business process and policy of internal control;
 
  undertaking regular monitoring through the Integrated Audit team to reduce the level of inadequacies and material weaknesses in ICFR;
 
  implementing a security & safety management program to protect both physical and non-physical assets;
 
  exercising supervision over internal controls over subsidiaries through the SOA audit; and
 
  reinforcing improvements in discipline with regard to the processes and policies applied by the Company.
To support these five initiatives, TELKOM took the following measures:
  Carried out internal consolidation, which included elements of enterprise risk management within the TELKOM Group and a reorganization of the risk management function;
 
  Undertook training and development of employees, including risk management training in which a number of employees were certified as professional risk managers, training on legal compliance, training on revenue assurance management, training on security & safety management, training on fraud risk management and aptitude improvement for ICFR staff;
 
  developed an information system to support corporate risk management in accordance with the COSO framework, revenue assurance management, security & safety management and legal compliance; and
The results of a survey by senior leaders, walkthrough by the auditors and operational review indicated an improvement in the effectiveness of risk management in the TELKOM Group. In short, all of the efforts during 2008 yielded the expected results.

CHAPTER 6
OUR PEOPLE: TELKOM’S EXCELLENT RESOURCE
We Empower and Manage Our Employees
Over the past few years, TELKOM has made fundamental changes to the management of its human resources by redefining the concept of handling human resources into managing human capital. We regard individual talent (skills, knowledge, attitude, aptitude, expertise, experience, eligibility, ability, suitability, authority, training, education, creativity, and other value added traits) as an asset to induce the creation of a learning organization.
TELKOM’s performance highly depends on the quality and professionalism of its employees. To further create value, TELKOM is in the process of shifting its human resources management paradigm to better re-align its employees to engage in the growing “new wave” businesses. Under the Human Capital masterplan, TELKOM’s human resources transformation efforts have been focused on guiding the business transformation to new wave business through workforce planning, including competency development and talent management.
In 2008, TELKOM focused its human resources to oversee TELKOM’s business transformation towards new wave as structured in the Human Capital Masterplan. The Masterplan guides workforce planning regarding HR composition enhancement which refocuses competency recruitment and enhancement to be in line with the new wave business, and also implement early retirement program to dispose non new wave competency. In addition, TELKOM is undergoing an organization transformation to support the new wave by establishing a stand alone FWA organization. In managing its HR, TELKOM has set up talent management, competency directory, and competency development policies which pursue towards the new wave business.
The aim of conception change from Human Resource to Human Capital is to offer wide career opportunities to the best employees who have performed well, so the employees’ quality and professionalism can be improved from time to time. Facing changes the business environment, TELKOM has altered mindset alignment in Human Resource management by making Human Resources department as a “Guard of Values” that provide a sense of fairness, opportunity as well respect, and ensure the 5 roles of Human Resources (Administrative Expert, Employee Champion, Change Agent, Strategic Business Partner & HR Leader) are running properly. By doing this we expect the spirit and the loyalty of the employees will be increased, so they will always give the best contribution to the company.

HR MEASUREMENT
To measure employee performance, TELKOM uses Competency Base Human Resource Management (CBHRM). When initially implemented in 2004, CBHRM was only partly used to gauge performance and induce competition among employees to improve performance level.
In 2007, we began to rely fully on CBHRM to measure employee performance, define salary grades, and develop competence. Based on this, we updated the Competency Directory and developed a Master Plan to guide our human capital development for the period of 2008-2012.
In 2008, the CBHRM policy covered several areas, among others, the following:
  Competency Development: the Competency Directory was updated to support the Assessment Tool application, evaluation of assessment tool application and the competency development guidelines were updated in line with our transformation into an InfoComm company.
 
  Career Management: job tendering and fit and proper testing were implemented for certain positions, taking into account profile match up.
 
  Performance Management: the application of the Assessment Tool was evaluated and developed along with the 360% competency assessment system, both of which were aimed at building competencies that is to reduce self assessment valuation and adding superior’s valuation.
HR DEVELOPMENT
TELKOM’s HR development is aligned with the Company’s business strategy, based on the Corporate Strategy Scenario (CSS), Master Plan for Human Capital (MPHC), Training Need Analysis (TNA), organizational transformation and financial growth.

In 2008, executive trainings were held for 1,408 staffs; whereas the closing competency gap and other operational training programs were provided to 34,233 attendees.
These training programs focused on increasing employee competency level in technology, marketing and management of the telecommunications, information businesses and new wave development in line with our vision of being the market leader in the InfoComm field. Various cooperation’s with leading institutions related to our industry were undertaken to support our training programs, both at home and abroad.
In 2008, TELKOM allocated a total of Rp.146.8 billion for training and education. The average allocation per employee amounted to Rp.4.12 million, based on the total number of employees who underwent training in 2008, which reached a total of 35,641 attendees out of our total workforce of 25,016 employees.
Other efforts to develop human resources were done through Knowledge Management, as a facility for every employee to share ideas, concepts and information through written articles that are accessible to all of our employees.

On July 15 2008, TELKOM ranked third in the Indonesian Most Admired Knowledge Enterprise(MAKE) Award, and became one of the nominees in the Asian “MAKE” Award on October 15, 2008 in South Korea.

Table of Contents

In 2008, TELKOM developed IT Based HR Services such as: personal work target online, attendance online, travel expense request online, absence online, career online and TNA (Training Need Analisys) online.
IT support for Internal Communications
TELKOM employs IT applications to support internal communications, including business automation processes, electronic memos, virtual meetings, shared files, online surveys and the Intranet. Our Intranet network is supported by several application systems including SAP, CCF, Makxi, T3 online, C4, CRM application and TELKOM e-Learning.
Employee Extracurricular Pursuits
TELKOM also facilitates extracurricular activities by employees in cultural, sports and religious affairs. As much as possible these activities are geared towards the participation of employees and their families, including activities such as the Al-Qur’an reciting competition, church choirs, Utsawa Dharma Gita and sports events.
Early Retirement
In December 2008, TELKOM introduced an Early Retirement Program (“ERP”) for all of its employees. We offered this to make our business environment more effective and competitive. The program was offered on a voluntary basis to all employees meeting the eligibility criteria (e.g., education, age, tenure, performance). A total of Rp.788 billion was paid out to 1,156 TELKOM employees under this program on April 1, 2009.
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS MANAGEMENT
In May 2000, our employees formed a union named “Serikat Karyawan TELKOM” or “SEKAR”. In May 2006, several of our employees formed another union named “Serikat Pekerja” or “SP” as an alternative to SEKAR. The formation of each of SEKAR and SP is in accordance with the Presidential Decree No. 83 of 1998 regarding ratification of ILO Convention No. 87 of 1948 concerning the freedom to form a union and the protection of the right to form an organization. Membership with the unions is not compulsory. We believe that its relations with each of SEKAR and SP are good. However, there can be no assurance that the activities of employee unions will not materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.
Employee Relations Management, both between the company and its employees, and the company with SEKAR, is facilitated through the PKB III dated July 17, 2007, regarding arrangements on the rights and responsibilities of each party (the Company, employees and SEKAR).
With the signing of PKB III, an agreement was reached between SEKAR and TELKOM regarding the Cooperation Bipartite (“Lembaga Kerja Sama” or “LKS”) forum that focuses on enhancing two-way communications to improve employee productivity and company performance. The next step is to form the LKS Bipartite forums at other central and regional levels in accordance with the PKB Agreement of 2007.
COMPETITIVE REMUNERATION
In general, TELKOM employees receive a base salary and salary-related allowances, bonuses 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 and other allowances and benefits, including those tied to the performance of their respective working units.

CHAPTER 8
CORPORATE DATA
HISTORY OF THE COMPANY
TELKOM, a majority state-owned company, is Indonesia’s leading provider of fixed line telecommunications services. At the same time, TELKOM’s majority-owned subsidiary, PT Telekomunikasi Selular (“Telkomsel”) is the largest Indonesian mobile cellular operator. The Company provides a range of other telecommunications services, including interconnection, network, data and internet, and related services. Our aim is to operate reliable telecommunications networks and provide high quality telecommunications and information services.
TELKOM’s history begins in 1884, when the Dutch colonial government founded a private company to provide postal and domestic telegraph services and, later on, international telegraph services. Telephony had been introduced to Indonesia in 1882. Telephony services were provided by privately-owned companies under a 25-year government license until 1906, when all postal and telecommunications services in Indonesia were taken over by a government agency established by the Dutch colonial government. In 1961, most of these services were transferred to a newly-established state-owned company. Four years later, in 1965, the Government separated postal and telecommunications services 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”) provided domestic and international telecommunications services, while PT Industri Telekomunikasi Indonesia (“PT INTI”) manufactured telecommunications equipment. A further division in 1980 saw the international telecommunications business taken over by the newly established PT Indonesian Satellite Corporation (“Indosat”).
The next milestone came in 1991, when Perumtel became a state-owned limited liability corporation and renamed Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia, or TELKOM. Up until 1995, TELKOM’s operations were organized along twelve regional operating units known as “Witel”. Each Witel had full responsibility for all aspects of business in their respective regions, from the provision of telephone services to property management and security.
In 1995, TELKOM reorganized the twelve Witels into seven regional divisions (Division I covering Sumatra; Division II, Jakarta; Division III, West Java; Division IV, Central Java and DI Yogyakarta; Division V, East Java; Division VI, Kalimantan; and Division VII covering eastern part of Indonesia) and one Network Division. Under a series of Cooperation (KSO) Agreements, TELKOM transferred the right to operate five of its seven regional divisions (Regional Divisions I, III, IV, VI and VII) to private sector consortia. Under these agreements, the KSO partners manage and operate the regional division concerned for a fixed term, build a specified number of fixed lines and, at the end of the term, transfer the telecommunications facilities to TELKOM for an agreed amount in compensation. Revenues from the KSO operations were shared between TELKOM and the KSO partners.
Indonesia was severely affected by the Asian economic crisis that began in mid-1997. Among those impacted were certain KSO partners, who experienced difficulties in fulfilling their obligations to TELKOM. TELKOM eventually acquired control of its KSO partners in Regions I, III and VI, and amended the terms of the KSO agreements with its KSO partners in Regions IV and VII to obtain legal rights to control the financial and operating decisions of those regions.
On November 14, 1995, TELKOM shares went on sale through an initial public offering on the Jakarta Stock Exchange and the Surabaya Stock Exchange (which merged in December 2007 to become the Indonesia Stock Exchange). TELKOM’s shares are also listed on the NYSE and the LSE in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), and were publicly offered without listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. TELKOM is now the largest company by market capitalization in Indonesia, with a market capitalization of approximately Rp.139,104 billion as of December 31, 2008. The Government retains an

aggregate interest of 52.47% of the issued and outstanding shares of TELKOM. The Government also holds one Dwiwarna share, which has special voting and veto rights over certain matters.
By 1999 the industry landscape had undergone considerable change. Telecommunications Law No. 36 (“Telecommunications Law”), which went into effect in September 2000, specified the framework and guidelines for a reform of the industry, including industry liberalization, facilitation of new entrants and enhanced competition. Among the proposed reforms was the progressive elimination of the joint ownership, by TELKOM and Indosat, of most of the telecommunications companies in Indonesia. This was intended to promote a more competitive market. As a result, in 2001, TELKOM acquired Indosat’s 35.0% stake in Telkomsel, resulting in TELKOM owning 77.7% of the shares of Telkomsel, while Indosat acquired TELKOM’s 22.5% interest in Satelindo and its 37.7% stake in Lintasarta. In 2002, TELKOM sold 12.7% of Telkomsel to Singapore Telecom Mobile Pte Ltd (“SingTel Mobile”), reducing TELKOM’s ownership of Telkomsel to 65.0%.
On August 1, 2001, pursuant to the Telecommunications Law, the Government terminated TELKOM’s exclusive right to provide fixed line services in Indonesia and Indosat’s right to provide international direct dial services. TELKOM’s exclusive rights to provide domestic local services and domestic long-distance services were terminated in August 2002 and August 2003, respectively. On June 7, 2004, TELKOM began to provide IDD fixed line services. In 2005, TELKOM launched TELKOM-2 Satellite to replace all satellite transmission services that have been served by previous satellite, Palapa B-4. In addition, to become TELKOM’s backbone transmission, RELKOM-2 satellite will support national telecommunications network to fulfill rural and multimedia telecommunication needs. Therefore, TELKOM has launched eight satellite (including Palapa-A1), named Palapa-A2 (1997-1985), Palapa-B1 (1983-1992), Palapa B2P (1987-1996), Palapa-B2R (1990-1999), Palapa-B4 (1992-2004), TELKOM-1 (1999-2008). All of these satellites have become a part of Indonesian’s Telecommunication’s history.

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 conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards established by the Indonesian Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2007 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operation and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 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.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and auditing standards established by the Indonesian Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1. GENERAL (continued)
  a.   Establishment and general information (continued)
 
      Pursuant to Law No. 3/1989 on Telecommunications (effective 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”). The Government Regulation No. 8/1993 relating to the provision of the telecommunications services regulates that cooperation to provide basic telecommunications services can be in the form of a joint venture, joint operation or contractual arrangement 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 Telecommunication of the Republic of Indonesia (“MTPT”) reaffirmed the status of the Company as the organizing body for the provision of domestic telecommunication services through two Decision Letters both dated August 14, 1995.
 
      The provision of domestic telecommunications services of the Company, includes telephone, telex, telegram, satellite, leased lines, electronic mail, mobile communication and cellular services. Pursuant to this, in 1995, the Company entered into agreements with investors to develop, manage and operate telecommunications facilities in five of the Company’s seven regional divisions (“Divre”) under Joint Operation Schemes (known as “Kerja Sama Operasi” or “KSO”), in order to:
  (1)   accelerate the construction of telecommunication facilities,
 
  (2)   make the Company a world-class operator, and
 
  (3)   increase the technology as well as knowledge and skills of its employees.
Historically, the Company had 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 (“Sambungan Langsung Jarak Jauh” or “SLJJ”) telecommunications services for a minimum period of 10 years, effective January 1, 1996. Such exclusive rights also applied to telecommunications services provided for and on behalf of the Company through a KSO. This grant of rights did not affect the Company’s right to provide other domestic telecommunications services.
In 1999, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia (the “Government”) passed Telecommunications Law No. 36, which took effect in September 2000. This Law states that the telecommunication activities cover:
  (1)   Telecommunications networks,
 
  (2)   Telecommunications services, and
 
  (3)   Special telecommunications.
National state-owned companies (“Badan Usaha Milik Negara” or “BUMN”), 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. The Telecommunications Law prohibits activities that result in monopolistic practices and unfair competition, and expects to pave the way for market liberalization. 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.

  e.   Authorization of the consolidated financial statements
 
      The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 11, 2009.
2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Indonesia (“Indonesian GAAP”). Indonesian GAAP varies in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles 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 of preparation of financial statements
 
      The consolidated financial statements, except for the consolidated 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.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
  c.   Transactions with related parties
 
      The Company and its subsidiaries have transactions with related parties. The definition of related parties used is in accordance with Indonesian Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (Pernyataan Standar Akuntansi Keuangan or “PSAK”) 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 cost of an acquisition is allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities recognized using as reference, their fair values at the date of the transaction. 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 Company continually assesses whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would require revision of the remaining estimated useful life of intangible assets and goodwill, or whether there is any indication of impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of intangible assets and 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.
 
      In July 2004, the Indonesian Financial Accounting Standard Board (“Dewan Standar Akuntansi Keuangan di Indonesia” or “DSAK”) issued PSAK 38 (Revised 2004), “Accounting for Restructuring Transactions between Entities under Common Control”, (“PSAK 38R”). Under PSAK 38R, the acquisition transaction with entities under common control is accounted for using book value, 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 arising from restructuring transactions and other transactions between entities under common control” in the stockholders’ equity section.
 
      The balance of “Difference in value arising from restructuring transactions and other transactions between entities under common control” is charged to consolidated statement of income when the common control relationship has ceased.
 
  e.   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.
 
  f.   Investments
  i.   Time deposits
 
      Time deposits with maturities of more than three months but not more than one year, are presented as temporary investments.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
  f.   Investments (continued)
  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 consolidated statements of income, 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 the consolidated statements of income.
 
  iii.   Investments in associated companies
 
      Investments in companies where the Company has 20% to 50% of the voting rights, and through 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 guaranteed obligations of the associated company or committed to provide further financial support to the associated company.
 
      On a continuous basis, but no less frequently than at the end of each year, the Company and its subsidiaries evaluate the carrying amount of their ownership interests in associated 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 associated 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) and projected discounted cash flows, whichever is lower 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 consolidated statements of income upon the sale of an interest in the associate in proportion to percentage of the interests sold.
 
      The functional currency of PT Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (“PSN”) and PT Citra Sari Makmur (“CSM”) is the United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”). 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.

  f.   Investments (continued)
  iv.   Other investments
 
      Investments in companies where ownership interests of less than 20% that do not have readily determinable fair values and are held for long-term are carried at cost and are adjusted only for other-than-temporary decline in the value of individual investments. Any write-down is charged directly to income of the current year.
  g.   Trade and other accounts receivable
 
      Trade and other accounts receivable are recorded net of allowance for doubtful accounts, based upon a review of the collectibility of the outstanding amounts. Accounts are written-off against the allowance during the period in which they are determined to be not collectible.
 
      The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company and its subsidiaries’ best estimate of the probable credit losses in the accounts receivable. The amount of the allowance is recognized in the consolidated statement of income within operating expenses — general and administrative. The Company and its subsidiaries determine the allowance based on historical write-off experience. The Company and its subsidiaries review the allowance for doubtful accounts every month. 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 written-off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
 
  h.   Inventories
 
      Inventories consist of components and modules, which are expensed or transferred to property, plant and equipment upon use. Inventories also include Subscriber Identification Module (“SIM”) cards, Removable User Identity Module (“RUIM”) cards and prepaid voucher blanks, which are expensed upon sale. Inventories are stated at the lower of costs or net realizable value.
 
      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.
 
  i.   Prepaid expenses
 
      Prepaid expenses are amortized over their future beneficial periods using the straight-line method.
 
  j.   Intangible assets
 
      Intangible assets comprised of intangible assets from subsidiaries or business acquisition, licenses and computer software. Intangible assets shall be recognized if it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to each asset will flow to the Company and its subsidiaries and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
  j.   Intangible assets (continued)
 
      Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives. The Company and its subsidiaries shall estimate the recoverable value of their intangible asset. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written-down to its estimated recoverable amount.
 
      In 2006, Telkomsel was granted the right to operate the 3G license (Note 14.iii). Telkomsel is required to pay an up-front fee and annual rights of usage (“Biaya Hak Penggunaan” or “BHP”) fee for the next ten years (Note 50d.ii). The up-front fee is recorded as intangible asset and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the right to operate the 3G license (10 years). Amortization commenced in 2006 when the assets attributable to the provision of the related services became available for use.
 
      Based on management interpretation of the license conditions and the written confirmation from the DGPT, the license may be returned at any time without any financial obligation to pay the remaining outstanding annual BHP fees. Accordingly, Telkomsel recognizes the annual BHP fees as expense when incurred. Management evaluates its plan to continue to use the license on an annual basis.
 
  k.   Property, plant and equipment — direct acquisitions
 
      Since January 1, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries has adopted PSAK 16 (Revised 2007), “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“PSAK 16R”), which became effective for financial statement periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008 and is applied prospectively.
 
      According to PSAK 16R, an entity should choose either the cost model or the revaluation model in measuring the costs of the assets. The Company has decided to use the cost model. Further, the cost of the assets include: (a) purchase price, (b) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its location and condition and (c) the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately. The residual value and the useful life of an asset should be reviewed at least at each financial year-end.
 
      Property, plant and equipment directly acquired are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
 
      Property, plant and equipment, except land, are depreciated using the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
     
    Years
Buildings
  20
Leasehold improvements
  3-7
Switching equipment
  5-15
Telegraph, telex and data communication equipment

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
  k.   Property, plant and equipment — direct acquisitions (continued)
 
      Pursuant to PSAK 16R, starting January 1, 2008 the Company has changed the estimated useful lives of fiber optic (included in cable network assets) from 15 years to 25 years. The company charged the impact of the changes in the estimated useful lives to the current year consolidated financial statements as it is not considered material.
 
      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.
 
      Spare parts and servicing equipment are carried as inventory and recognized in profit or loss as consumed. Major spare parts and stand-by equipment that are expected to be used more than 12 months are recorded as part of property, plant and equipment.
 
      When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their cost 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 consolidated statement of income.
 
      Certain computer hardware can not be used without the availability of certain computer software. In such circumstance, the computer software is recorded as part of the computer hardware. If any computer software is independent from its computer hardware, it shall be recorded as part of intangible assets.
 
      The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to statements of income as incurred, significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
      Property under construction is stated at cost until construction is completed, at which time it is reclassified to the specific property, plant and equipment account to which it relates. During the construction period, borrowing costs, which include interest expense and foreign currency 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 construction has been completed and the asset is ready for its intended use.
 
      Equipment temporarily unused are reclassified into equipment not used in operation and depreciated over their estimated useful life using straight-line method.
 
  l.   Property, plant and equipment under finance leases
 
      Since January 1, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries has adopted PSAK 30 (Revised 2007), “Lease” (“PSAK 30R”), which became effective for financial statement periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008.
 
      Based on PSAK 30R, a lease is classified into finance lease or operating lease based on the substance not the form of the contract. Property, plant and equipment under finance lease is recognized if the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation (Interpretasi Pernyataan Standar Akuntansi Keuangan or “ISAK”) 8, “Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease and Further Discussion on Transitional Provisions of PSAK 30 (Revised 2007)”, requires the Company and its subsidiaries to apply PSAK 30R retrospectively to all lease transactions since the commencing dates of the related agreement or prospectively as if the standard applied since the beginning of reporting periods. The Company has decided to select the prospective application.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
  l.   Property, plant and equipment under finance leases (continued)
 
      Considering that the impact of application of the standard to 2006 and 2007 is insignificant, the Company charged the cumulative effect to the 2008 financial statements.
 
      Finance leases shall be recognized as assets and liabilities in the balance sheets as the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Any initial direct costs of the Company and its subsidiaries are added to the amount recognized as an asset.
 
      Minimum lease payments shall be apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge shall be allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rents shall be charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
 
      Leased assets are depreciated using the same method over the shorter of the lease term and their economic useful life.
 
      Leasing arrangements that do not meet the above criteria are accounted for as operating leases for which payments are charged as an expense on the straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit.
 
  m.   Revenue-Sharing Arrangements (“RSA”)
 
      Revenues from RSA are recognized based on the Company’s share as agreed upon in the contracts.
 
      The Company records assets under RSA as “Property, plant and equipment under RSA” (with a corresponding initial credit to “Unearned income on RSA” presented in the liabilities section of the consolidated 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 (Note 2k).
 
      Unearned income related to the acquisition of the property, plant and equipment under RSA is amortized over the revenue-sharing period using the straight-line method.
 
      At the end of the revenue-sharing period, the property, plant and equipment under RSA is reclassified to the “Property, plant and equipment” account.
 
  n.   KSO
 
      Revenues from KSO include amortization of unearned initial investor payments, Minimum Telkom Revenues (“MTR”) and the Company’s share of Distributable KSO Revenues (“DKSOR”).
 
      Unearned initial investor payments received are recorded net of all direct costs incurred in connection with the KSO agreement and 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 on the contracted MTR amount for the current year.
 
      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 39, “Accounting for Joint Operation Schemes”, which supersedes paragraph 14 of PSAK 35, “Accounting for Telecommunications Services Revenue”, the assets built by the KSO partners under the KSO were recorded in the books of the KSO partners which operate the assets and would be transferred to the Company at the end of the KSO period or upon termination of the KSO agreement.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
  r.   Employee benefits
  i.   Pension and post-retirement health care benefit plans
 
      The net obligations in respect of the defined pension benefit and post-retirement health care benefit plans are calculated at the present value of estimated future benefits that the employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, less fair value of plan assets and as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and unrecognized past service cost. The calculation is performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using government bond interest rates considering currently there is no deep market for high quality corporate bonds that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability.
 
      Actuarial gains or losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions, when exceeding the greater of 10% of present value defined benefit obligation or 10% of fair value of plan assets, are charged or credited to the consolidated statements of income over the average remaining service lives of the relevant employees. Prior service cost is recognized immediately if vested or amortized over the vesting period.
 
      For defined contribution plans, the regular contributions constitute net periodic costs for the year in which they are due and as such are included in staff costs.
 
  ii.   Long Service Awards (“LSA”) and Long Service Leave (“LSL”)
 
      Employees are entitled to receive certain cash awards or certain numbers of days leave benefits based on length of service requirements. LSA are either paid at the time the employees reach certain anniversary dates during employment, or at the time of termination. LSL is either certain number of days leave benefit or cash, subject to approval by management, provided to employee who has met the requisite number of years of service and with a certain minimum age.
 
      Actuarial gains or losses arising from experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged immediately to the consolidated statements of income.
 
      The obligation with respect to LSA and LSL is calculated by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
 
  iii.   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. A commitment to a termination arises when, and only when a detailed formal plan for the early retirement cannot be withdrawn.
 
  iv.   Pre-retirement benefits
 
      Employees of the Company are entitled to a benefit during a pre-retirement period in which they are inactive for 6 months prior to their normal retirement age of 56 years. During the pre-retirement period, the employees still receive benefits provided to active employees, which include, but are not limited to regular salary, health care, annual leave, bonus and other benefits. Benefits provided to employees which enter pre-retirement period are calculated by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

  v.   Other post-retirement benefits
 
      Employees are entitled to home leave passage benefits and final housing facility benefits to their retirement age of 56 years. Those benefits are calculated by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
      Gains or losses on curtailment are recognized when there is a commitment to make a material reduction in the number of employees covered by a plan or when there is an amendment of a defined benefit plan terms such as that a material element of future services to be provided by current employees will no longer qualify for benefits, or will qualify only for reduced benefits.
 
      Gains or losses on settlement are recognized when there is a transaction that eliminates all further legal or constructive obligation for part or all of the benefits provided under a defined benefit plan.
 
  s.   Income tax
 
      The Company and its subsidiaries recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities at each reporting date. The Company and its subsidiaries also recognize deferred tax assets resulting from the recognition of future tax benefits, such as the benefit of tax loss carry forward, to the extent their future realization is probable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and tax laws 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 to the consolidated statement of income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, such as the difference in value arising from restructuring transactions and other transactions between entities under common control and the effect of foreign currency translation adjustment for certain investments in associated companies, in which case income tax is also charged or credited directly to equity.
 
      Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered or paid using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted at each reporting date.
 
      Amendment to taxation obligations are recorded when an assessment is received or if appealed against, when the results of the appeal are determined.
 
  t.   Derivative instruments
 
      Derivative transactions are accounted for in accordance with PSAK 55, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” which requires that all derivative instruments be recognized in the financial statements at fair value. To qualify for hedge accounting, PSAK 55 requires certain criteria to be met, including formal documentations at the inception of the hedge.
 
      Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in the consolidated statements of income. If a derivative instrument is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting the assets or liabilities shall be adjusted. The changes in fair values of derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of income or consolidated statement of changes in stockholder’s equity depending on the type and effectiveness of hedge transaction.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
  u.   Treasury Stock
 
      Reacquired Company’s stock is accounted for at its reacquisition cost and classified as “Treasury Stock” and presented as deduction in stockholders’ equity. The cost of treasury stock sold is accounted for using the weighted average method. The difference resulting from the cost and the proceeds from the sale of treasury stock is credited to “Paid-in Capital”.
 
  v.   Dividends
 
      Dividend distribution to the Company’s stockholders is recognized as liability in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s stockholders. For interim dividends, the Company recognized it as liability based on the Board of Director’s decision with the approval from the Board of Commissioners.
 
  w.   Earnings per share and earnings per ADS
 
      Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Net income per ADS is computed by multiplying basic earnings per share by 40, the number of shares represented by each ADS.
 
  x.   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.
 
  y.   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, disclosures 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, the valuation allowance for receivables and obligations related to employee benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3.   TRANSLATION OF RUPIAH INTO UNITED STATES DOLLARS
 
    The consolidated financial statements are stated in Indonesian Rupiah (“Rupiah”). The translations of Indonesian Rupiah amounts into U.S. Dollars are included solely for the convenience of the readers and have been made using the average of the market buy and sell rates of Rp.10,900 to US$1 as published by Reuters on December 31, 2008. 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.

As of December 31, 2007 and 2008, the net book value of these property, plant and equipment was Rp.1,038,265 million and Rp.927,709 million, respectively.
 
  (ii)   In accordance with the amended and restated KSO IV agreement with PT Mitra Global Telekomunikasi Indonesia (“MGTI”), the ownership rights to the acquired property, plant and equipment in KSO IV are legally retained by MGTI until the end of the KSO period which is on December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2007 and 2008, the net book value of this property, plant and equipment was Rp.817,350 million and Rp.510,347 million, respectively.
  c.   Assets impairment and related claims
  (i)   In the first quarter of 2005, the Government issued a series of regulations in its efforts to rearrange the frequency spectra utilized by the telecommunications industry. This action has resulted in the Company not being able to utilize certain frequency spectra it had used to support its fixed wireline cable network by the end of 2006. As a result of these regulations, certain of the Company’s cable network facilities within the fixed wireline segment, which comprised primarily of Wireless Local Loop (“WLL”) and Approach Link equipment operating in the affected frequency spectra, could no longer be used by the end of 2006. Hence, the Company had shortened the remaining useful lives for WLL and Approach Link equipment in the first quarter of 2005 and depreciated the remaining net book value of these assets through December 31, 2006, and charged additional depreciation expense of Rp.240,398 million (Rp.168,279 million net after tax) in 2006.
 
  (ii)   Further, on August 31, 2005, MoCI issued a press release which announced that in order to conform with international standards and as recommended by the International Telecommunications Union — Radio communication Sector (“ITU-R”), the 1900 MHz frequency spectrum would only be used for IMT-2000 or 3G network. In its press release, the MoCI also announced that the Code Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”)-based technology network which the Company used for its fixed wireless services could only operate in the 800 MHz frequency spectrum. The Company utilizes the 1900 MHz frequency spectrum for its fixed wireless network in Jakarta and West Java areas while for other areas, the Company utilizes the 800 MHz frequency spectrum.

11.   PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)
  c.   Assets impairment and related claims (continued)
  (ii)   (continued)
 
      On January 13, 2006, the MoCI issued MoCI Regulation No. 01/PER/M.KOMINFO/1/2006 which reaffirmed the Government’s decision that the Company’s fixed wireless network could only operate in the 800 MHz frequency spectrum and that the 1900 MHz will be allocated for 3G network. Following the preceding Government’s decisions, the Company reviewed the recoverable amount of cash-generating unit to which the affected fixed wireless asset belongs and in 2005, the Company had written-down Rp.616,768 million for transmission installation and equipment of fixed wireless assets. The recoverable amount was estimated using value in use which represented the present value of estimated future cash flows from cash-generating unit using a pretax discount rate of 16.89%, representing the Company’s weighted average cost of capital as of December 31, 2005. In determining cash-generating unit to which an asset belongs, assets were grouped at the lowest level that included the assets and generated cash inflows that were largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. In addition, the Company recognized a loss relating to non-cancelable contracts for procurement of the 1900 MHz transmission installation and equipment in Jakarta and West Java areas amounting to Rp.79,359 million.
 
      As a result of this Government’s decision, the Company’s Base Station System (“BSS”) equipment in Jakarta and West Java areas which are part of the transmission installation and equipment for the fixed wireless network could no longer be used by the end of 2007 with total acquisition cost amounted to Rp.1,330,818 million. The BSS equipment has been completely replaced with BSS equipment operating in 800 MHz by the end of December 2007. Further, the Company changed the estimated remaining useful lives for the Jakarta and West Java BSS equipment and depreciated the remaining net book value of these assets through June 30, 2007 and recognized an additional depreciation expense of Rp.173,826 million (Rp.121,678 million net after tax) in  2006. In June 2007, the Company has fully depreciated the assets.
 
  (iii)   As of December 31, 2007 and 2008, the Company operated two satellites, Telkom-1 and Telkom-2 primarily providing backbone transmission links for its network and earth station satellite up-linking and down-linking services to domestic and international users. As of December 31, 2008, there were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying amount of the Company’s satellites may not be recoverable.
 
  (iv)   On February 2, 2007, Jakarta and its surrounding, area of Divre II Jakarta were covered by flood from which insurance claim for the replacement of the assets has been made. Buildings and other equipments affected by the flood have been re-operated since end of December 2008.
 
  (v)   On March 6, 2007, Padang within Divre I Sumatera experienced an earthquake from which insurance claim for the replacement of the assets has been made. The facilities have been re-operated gradually since September 2007.
 
  (vi)   On September 12, 2007, South and West Sumatera within Divre I Sumatera experienced an earthquake from which insurance claim for the replacement of the assets has been made. The facilities have been re-operated gradually since September 2007.

  (vii)   On July 9, 2008, Balikpapan and its surrounding, area of Divre VI Kalimantan were covered by flood from which insurance claim for the replacement of the assets has been made. Buildings and other equipments affected by the flood have been re-operated gradually since July 2008.
  d.   Others
  (i)   Interest capitalized to property under construction amounted to Rp.nil for 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
 
  (ii)   Foreign exchange loss capitalized as part of property under construction amounted to Rp.nil for 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
 
  (iii)   In 2008, the Company reclassified its software which was previously recorded as property plant and equipment to intangible assets (Notes 14 and 55).
 
  (iv)   In 2008, certain Telkomsel’s equipment (part of infrastructure) with a total cost of Rp.797,208 million and their previous expected useful lives subsequent to 2010, are planned to be used up to 2010. Hence, the depreciation of the equipment are accelerated up to that year. The change in the useful life has an insignificant impact to the depreciation charged.
 
  (v)   From July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008, Telkomsel recorded Rp.8,260,648 million of its property, plant and equipment which was subject to price adjustment (Notes 50a.ii and 53l). Part of the recorded amount of Rp.6,958,853 million has been depreciated with total accumulated depreciation charged to the consolidated statement of income amounting to Rp.403,106 million (Rp.392,896 million of which was charged to current year consolidated statement of income). Telkomsel and its vendors agreed to reduce the previous price by US$107.05 million (Note 53l). The effect of the adjustment is a reduction to recorded property, plant and equipment by Rp.1,035,588 million, accrued liabilities to the vendors by Rp.1,172,198 million and to depreciation expense by Rp.47,868 million which was charged to the current year consolidated financial statements.
 
  (vi)   The Company and its subsidiaries own several pieces of land located throughout Indonesia with Building Use Rights (“Hak Guna Bangunan” or “HGB”) for a period of 20-30 years, which will expire between 2009 and 2038. Management believes that there will be no difficulty in obtaining the extension of the land rights when they expire.
 
  (vii)   The Company was granted the right to use certain parcels of land by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of the Republic of Indonesia (formerly Ministry of Tourism, Post and Telecommunications) where they are still under the name of the Ministry of Tourism, Post and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia. The transfer to the Company of the legal title of ownership on those parcels of land is still in progress.

29.   DIFFERENCE IN VALUE ARISING FROM RESTRUCTURING TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN ENTITIES UNDER COMMON CONTROL
 
    The balance of this account amounting to Rp.360,000 million arose from the early termination of the Company’s exclusive rights to provide local and domestic fixed line telecommunication services. As discussed in Note 1a, on December 15, 2005, the Company signed an Agreement on Implementation of Compensation for Termination of Exclusive Rights with the State MoCI — DGPT, which was amended on October 18, 2006. Pursuant to this agreement, the Government agreed to pay Rp.478,000 million, net of tax, to the Company over a five-year period where Rp.90,000 million shall be paid from the 2005 State budget, Rp.90,000 million from the 2006 State budget and the remaining Rp.298,000 million shall be paid gradually or in one lump-sum payment based on the State’s financial ability. In addition, the Company is required by the Government to use the funds received from this compensation for the development of telecommunications infrastructure. As of December 31, 2007 and 2008, the development of the related infrastructures amounted to Rp.190,997 million and Rp.296,871 million, respectively.
 
    As of December 31, 2007 and 2008, the Company has received an aggregate of Rp.270,000 million and Rp.360,000 million, respectively, in relation to the compensation for the early termination of exclusivity rights, being Rp.90,000 million each paid on December 30, 2005, December 28, 2006, December 13, 2007 and November 12, 2008, respectively. The Company recorded these amounts in “Difference in value arising from restructuring transactions and other transactions between entities under common control” in the Stockholders’ Equity section. These amounts are recorded as a component of Stockholders’ Equity because the Government is the majority and controlling stockholder of the Company. The Company will record the remaining amount of Rp.118,000 million when received.

  f.   Tax assessment
  (i)   Company
 
      In 2006, the Company received an underpayment tax assessment letter (“Surat Ketetapan Pajak Kurang Bayar” or “SKPKB”) from the Tax Office confirming an underpayment of its corporate income tax for fiscal year 2004 amounting to Rp.4,363 million. The underpayment was paid in August 2006.
 
  (ii)   Telkomsel
In 2007, Telkomsel was assessed for underpayments of withholding taxes, VAT and corporate income tax including penalty covering the fiscal years 2004 and 2005 totaling Rp.478 billion. The underpayments were settled through netting off withholding tax paid in 2006 of Rp.25 billion and cash payments of Rp.453 billion. On January 3, 2008, Telkomsel filed an objection for underpayment of withholding taxes and VAT including a penalty totaling Rp.408 billion. The difference between the assessed and objected amounts of Rp.70 billion was charged to the 2007 consolidated statements of income.
Subsequently, on December 31, 2008, the Tax Authorities accepted Rp.141 billion of the objection. Telkomsel recognized such amount and interest of Rp.39 billion as claims for tax refund as of December 31, 2008. Telkomsel filed an appeal to the Tax Court for the rejected objection on VAT of Rp.215 billion (Note 53h). Telkomsel believes that such amount will be refundable, hence, it was recognized as a claim for tax refund as of December 31, 2008. The remainder of the rejected amount of Rp.52 billion was charged to the 2008 consolidated statements of income (Note 39a). The Tax Authorities might raise similar issues for transactions that occurred in subsequent fiscal years.
On October 2, 2007, Telkomsel filed an appeal to the Tax Court for the Tax Authorities’ rejection over Telkomsel’s objection on SKPKB of withholding taxes article 23 and 26 for the fiscal year 2002 of Rp.21 billion. The amount of Rp 21 billion which was previously recorded as claims for tax refund was charged to the 2007 consolidated statement of income.
Based on the Tax Court’s decision in December 2008, Telkomsel’s appeal has been accepted and an amount of Rp.115 billion (Note 53i) would be refunded. Telkomsel recognized such amount and the interest of Rp.52 billion, net of underpayments of various taxes, as claims of tax refund as of December 31, 2008 (Note 39a).

      Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon future 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 reduction of future taxable income. The amount of deferred tax assets is considered realizable, however, could be reduced if actual future taxable income is lower than that estimates.
 
      Telkomsel’s claims for overpayment of corporate income tax for fiscal years 2004 and 2005 due to recalculation of depreciation of property, plant and equipment in 2006 for tax purposes amounting to Rp.338 billion were rejected by the Tax Authorities, hence, it was reversed with a corresponding deduction to the deferred tax liability. The rejection of recalculation resulted to a recognition of overpayment of corporate income tax for 2006 of Rp.12.5 billion presented as part of prepaid taxes.

39. TAXATION (continued)
  h.   Administration
 
      Under the taxation laws of Indonesia, the Company and each subsidiary submit tax return on the basis of self assessment. The Directorate General of Tax (“DGT”) may assess or amend taxes within ten years of the time the tax becomes due, or until end of 2013, whichever is earlier. There are new rules applicable to fiscal year 2008 and subsequent years stipulating that the DGT may assess or amend taxes within five years of the time the tax becomes due.
 
      On September 23, 2008, the President of the Republic Indonesia and MoJHR has signed and enacted the Tax Law No. 36/2008 concerning the Fourth Amendment of the Tax Law No. 7/1983 of Income Taxes. This regulation stipulates that corporate tax rate will be a flat rate of 28% in 2009 (previously calculated using progressive tax rates range from 10% to 30%), and 25% in 2010. As of December 31, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries measured the effect of the enacted tax rate of 28% and 25% in calculating its deferred tax assets and liabilities depending on the timing of realization of its estimates.
 
      Other than tariff changes, the Tax Law No. 36/2008 also stipulates a reduction of 5% from the top rate applies for qualifying companies listed and traded its stock in the IDX which meet the prescribed criteria that the stocks owned by the public are 40% or more of the total fully paid and traded stocks in IDX, and such stocks are owned by at least 300 parties, each party owning less than 5% of the total paid-up stocks. These requirements should be fulfilled by the publicly-listed companies for a period of six months in one tax year. For fiscal year 2008, the Company has met all of the required criteria, thereby the Company is entitled the tax rate reduction incentive and it has been implemented for the calculation of corporate income tax.
 
      The Company has been audited by the Tax Office up to the fiscal year of 2004, excluding fiscal year 2003, Telkomsel up to fiscal year 2005 excluding fiscal year 2003, GSD up to fiscal year 2002 and Infomedia up to fiscal year 2003. Currently, Telkomsel, PIN and GSD are being audited by the Tax Office for the fiscal year 2006, 2007 and 2007, respectively.
 
      In 2008, Tax Authorities issued a sunset policy program in form of an opportunity to the tax payer to make revision in the prior years underpaid Annual SPT, which will be granted for free tax administration sanction and will be no assessment in the related fiscal year, unless the Tax Authorities find new evidence to perform the assessment and investigation. The Company and Telkomsel have utilized sunset policy program through SPT revision. The Company settled the tax underpayments for fiscal years 2003, 2005 and 2006 amounting to Rp.1.9 billion, Rp.2.8 billion and Rp.2.4 billion, respectively, and Telkomsel for fiscal year 2003 amounting to Rp.1.9 billion.

47.   JOINT OPERATION SCHEMES (“KERJA SAMA OPERASI” OR “KSO”)
 
    In 1995, the Company and five investors (Pramindo, TII, MGTI, Dayamitra and BSI) entered into agreements for 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 Divre.
 
    Following the Indonesian economics crisis that began in mid-1997, certain KSO partners experienced difficulties in fulfilling their commitment under the KSO agreements. As remedial measures instituted by both the Company and the KSO partners did not fully remedy this situation, the Company acquired and currently controls the related KSO through acquisition of its KSO partners or the businesses. Accordingly, the revenue-sharing percentage in those KSO is no longer relevant as the financial statements of the acquired KSO partners and the related KSO are consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition (Note 24).
 
48.   REVENUE-SHARING ARRANGEMENTS (“RSA”)
 
    The Company has entered into agreements with several investors under RSA to develop fixed lines, public card-phone booths (including their maintenance), data and internet network and related supporting telecommunications facilities.
 
    As of December 31, 2008, the Company has 40 RSA with 33 investors. The RSA are located mainly in Pekanbaru, Jakarta, East Java, Kalimantan, Makassar, Pare-pare, Manado, Denpasar, Mataram and Kupang, with concession periods ranging from 48 to 172 months.

48.   RSA (continued)
 
    Under the RSA, the investors finance the costs incurred in developing the 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 periods. The investors legally retain the rights to the property, plant and equipment constructed by them during the RSA periods. At the end of each the RSA period, the investors transfer the ownership of the facilities to the Company at a nominal price.
 
    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 the property, plant and equipment under RSA which have been transferred to property, plant and equipment of the Company amounted to Rp.141,218 million and Rp.120,301 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively (Note 12).
 
    The investors’ share of revenues amounted to Rp.413,263 million, Rp.423,880 million and Rp.331,525 million in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
 
49.   TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES TARIFFS
 
    Under Law No. 36/1999 and Government Regulation No. 52/2000, 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 telecommunications services, at price cap formula set by the Government.
  a.   Fixed line telephone tariffs
 
      The Government has issued new adjustment tariff formula which is stipulated in the MoCI Decree No. 15/Per/M.KOMINFO/4/2008 dated April 30, 2008 concerning Procedure for Tariff Calculation for Basic Telephone Service which connected through fixed line network.
 
      Under the Decree, tariff structure for basic telephone service which is connected through fixed line network consists of the following:
    Connection fee
 
    Monthly charges
 
    Usage charges
 
    Additional facilities fee
      Based on the Decree, the Company adjusted the tariffs effective August 1, 2008 as follows:
    Local charges decreased by range from 2.5% to increase by 8.9%, depending on service usage and customer’s segment
 
    SLJJ charges decreased by an average range from 36.9% to increased by an average of 13.7%, depending on service usage and customer’s segment
 
    SMS charges decreased by an average range from 42.8% to 49.7%, depending on service usage and customer’s segment

49.   TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES TARIFFS (continued)
  b.   Mobile cellular telephone tariffs
 
      Under Decree No. 12/Per/M.KOMINFO/02/2006 dated February 28, 2006 of the MoCI the cellular tariffs consist of the following:
    Connection fee
 
    Monthly charges
 
    Usage charges
 
    Additional facilities fee
      The tariffs are determined based on certain formula with a “floor price”. For usage charges, the floor price should be the originating fee plus termination fee (total interconnection fee) while for connection fee and monthly charges, the floor price depends on the cost structure of each cellular provider.
 
      The implementation of the new tariff for a dominant operator has to be approved by the Government. A dominant operator is an operator that has operating revenues equal to or more than 25% of total Industry revenue for a certain segment.
 
      On April 7, 2008, the MoCI issued Decree No. 09/PER/M.KOMINFO/04/2008 “Mechanism to Determine Tariff of Telecommunication Services which Connected Through Mobile Cellular Network” which provides guidelines to determine cellular tariffs with a formula consisting of network element cost and retail services activity cost. This Decree replaced the previous Decree of No. 12/PER/M.KOMINFO/02/2006.
 
      Under Decree No. 09/PER/M.KOMINFO/04/2008 dated April 7, 2008 of the MoCI the cellular tariffs consist of the following:
    Basic services tariff
 
    Roaming tariff
 
    Multimedia tariff,
      with the following structure:
    Connection fee
 
    Monthly charges
 
    Usage charges
 
    Additional facilities fee.
      The tariffs are determined based on certain formula consisting of:
    Network element cost;
 
    Retail service activity cost plus margin.
      The network element cost is determined using Long Run Incremental Cost (LRIC) Bottom up Method. The operators are allowed to apply de-average basic telephone service usage cost and bundling tariffs, maximum equal to tariff determined using the above formula.

  (ii)   Telkomsel (continued)
 
      In August 2007, due to the expiration of the above agreements, based on letters from Ericsson AB and Ericsson Indonesia and Nokia Siemens Networks (which currently represents Nokia Corporation, Nokia Network and Siemens AG), those companies agreed to:
    extend the above agreements until new agreements were made between Telkomsel and these other companies, and
 
    prior to the effective date of new agreements, retroactively apply prices under the new agreements (retroactive price adjustment) to PO for the procurement of BSS equipment and services issued by Telkomsel after July 1, 2007 using the previous price list (Notes 11d.v and 53l).
      Subsequently, on April 17, 2008, Telkomsel, Ericsson Indonesia, Ericsson AB, PT Nokia Siemens Networks, Nokia Siemens Network Oy and Nokia Siemens Network GmbH & Co. KG signed Combined 2G and 3G CS Core Network Rollout Agreements. The Agreements are valid until the later of:
    three years after the effective date (April 17, 2008, except for certain POs issued in August 2007 which commenced on August 15, 2007), or
 
    the date on which the last PO under this agreement terminates or expires in respect of any PO issued prior to the expiry of the three years period.
      For the purpose of providing telecommunication services with 3G, in September and October 2006, Telkomsel entered into agreements with Nokia Corporation and Nokia Networks, Ericsson AB and Ericsson Indonesia, and Siemens Networks GmbH & Co. KG for network construction (Rollout Agreement) and Nokia Networks, Ericsson Indonesia and Siemens Networks GmbH & Co. KG for network operations and maintenance (Managed Operations Agreement and Technical Support Agreement). The agreements are valid and effective as of the execution date by the respective parties (the effective date) until the later of December 31, 2008 or the date on which the last PO terminates under the agreements or expires in respect of any PO issued prior to December 31, 2008, providing that the suppliers are able to meet the requirements set out in each PO. Based on letters from Telkomsel, the Managed Operation Agreements with those companies were terminated as of March 31, 2008.

      In July and August 2008, Telkomsel entered into 2G BSS and 3G UTRAN Network Trial Agreements (NTA) with PT Alcatel-Lucent Indonesia, ZTE and PT Huawei Tech Investment (“Huawei Tech”) (“Trial Participants”). Subsequently, in September 2008, the agreements with ZTE and Huawei Tech were amended. Such agreements contain, among others:
    The provision by Trial Participants of the design, supply, delivery, installation, integration and commissioning of 2G GSM BSS and 3G UMTS radio access network and technical support for such subsystem and networks on a trial basis for a period up to nine months.
 
    At Telkomsel’s election, the Trial Participants must transfer ownership to Telkomsel of those 2G GSM BSS and 3G UMTS radio access networks elements (excluding software) (Note 53l).
  b.   Borrowings and other credit facilities
  (i)   Telkomsel has a US$3 million bond and bank guarantee, standby letter of credit facility and foreign exchange facility with SCB, Jakarta. The facilities expire in July 31, 2009. Under these facilities, as of December 31, 2008, Telkomsel has issued a bank guarantee of Rp.20,000 million (equivalent to US$1.83 million) for a 3G performance bond (Note 50d.ii). Borrowings under the facilities bear interest at Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (“SIBOR”) plus 1.25% per annum (US$). As of December 2007 and 2008, there were no outstanding loans under these facilities.
 
  (ii)   Telkomsel has not provided any collateral for its bank borrowings, or other credit facilities, except time deposits (Notes 9 and 53c). The terms of the various agreements with Telkomsel’s lenders and financiers require compliance with a number of pledges and negative pledges as well as financial and other covenants, which include inter alia, certain restrictions on the amount of dividends and other profit distributions which could adversely affect Telkomsel’s capacity to comply with its obligation under the facilities. The terms of the relevant agreements also contain default and cross default clauses. Telkomsel’s management is not aware of any breaches of the terms of these agreements and does not foresee any such breaches occurring in the future.
  c.   Derivative instruments
 
      Telkomsel is exposed to market risks, primarily changes in foreign currency exchange rates, 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. None of the derivative transactions entered into by Telkomsel during 2008 met the PSAK No. 55 criteria for hedge accounting. Therefore, changes in the fair values of the derivative financial instruments were recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

50.   COMMITMENTS (continued)
  c.   Derivative instruments (continued)
 
      Telkomsel purchases equipment from several countries and, as a result, is exposed to fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates. In September and October 2008, Telkomsel entered into forward foreign exchange contracts with DB 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.
 
      The contracts consist of the following :
                 
Month
  Bank   Currencies   Notional amount

54.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS IN INDONESIA
 
  The recent accounting pronouncement in Indonesia that relevant to the Company and its subsidiaries are as follow:
  (i)   PSAK 50 (Revised 2006), “Financial Instruments: Presentation and Disclosures”
 
      In December 2006, the DSAK issued PSAK 50 (Revised 2006), “Financial Instruments: Presentation and Disclosures” which amends PSAK 50, “Accounting for Investments in Certain Securities”. PSAK 50 (Revised 2006) provides guidance on how to disclose and present financial instruments in the financial statements and whether a financial instrument is a financial liability or an equity instrument. This standard applies to the classification of financial instruments, from the perspective of the issuer, into financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments; the classification of related interest, dividends, losses and gains; and the circumstances in which financial assets and financial liabilities should be offset. PSAK 50 (Revised 2006) complements the principles for recognizing and measuring financial assets and financial liabilities in PSAK 55 (Revised 2006). DSAK has postponed the application of PSAK 50 (Revised 2006) until January 1, 2010 based on its letter No. 1705/DSAK/IAI/XII/2008 regarding, “The Announcement of the Change of Effective Date of PSAK No. 50 (Revised 2006) and PSAK No. 55 (Revised 2006)” dated December 30, 2008. The company and its subsidiaries are currently assessing the impact of the application of PSAK 50 (Revised 2006) on the consolidated financial statements.
 
  (ii)   PSAK 55 (Revised 2006), “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”
 
      In December 2006, the DSAK issued PSAK 55 (Revised 2006), “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” which amends PSAK 55 (Revised 1999), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. PSAK 55 (Revised 2006) provides guidance on how to recognize, measure and derecognize financial asset and financial liability including derivative instruments. It also provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of sales and purchase contracts of non-financial items. DSAK has postponed the application of PSAK 55 (Revised 2006) until January 1, 2010 based on its letter No. 1705/DSAK/IAI/XII/2008 regarding, “The Announcement of the Change of Effective Date of PSAK No. 50 (Revised 2006) and PSAK No. 55 (Revised 2006)” dated December 30, 2008. The company and its subsidiaries are currently assessing the impact of the application of PSAK 55 (Revised 2006) on the consolidated financial statements.
 
  (iii)   PSAK 14 (Revised 2008), “Inventories”
 
      In September 2008, the DSAK issued PSAK 14 (Revised 2008), “Inventories” which amends PSAK 14 (1994), “Inventories”. A primary issue in accounting for inventories is the amount of cost to be recognized as an asset and carried forward until the related revenues are recognized. This standard provides guidance on the determination of cost and its subsequent recognition as an expense, including any write-down to net realizable value and prohibition for the usage of Last-in First-out (LIFO) cost formula. It also provides guidance on cost formulas that are used to assign costs. PSAK 14 (Revised 2008) is applied prospectively for financial statements covering the periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The Company and its subsidiaries are currently assessing the impact of the application of PSAK 14 (Revised 2008) on the consolidated financial statements.

  (iv)   PSAK 26 (Revised 2008), “Borrowing Costs”
 
      In September 2008, the DSAK issued PSAK 26 (Revised 2008), “Borrowing Costs” which amends PSAK 26, “Borrowing Costs”. PSAK 26 (Revised 2008) provides guidance on commencement, suspension and cessation of borrowing cost capitalization as part of the cost of an asset. PSAK 26 (Revised 2008) requires borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset to be capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. There are no significant differences between PSAK 26 (Revised 2008) and PSAK 26. PSAK 26 (Revised 2008) shall be effective on January 1, 2010. The Company and its subsidiaries are currently assessing the impact of the requirement of PSAK 26 (Revised 2008) on the consolidated financial statements.

56.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INDONESIAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP
 
    The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with Indonesian GAAP, which differ in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. The consolidated statements of cash flows together with the reconciliation in Note 57 comply with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 95, “Statement of Cash Flows” (“SFAS 95”). 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.   Voluntary termination benefits
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, voluntary termination benefits are recognized as liabilities when the Company is demonstratively committed to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, voluntary termination benefits liabilities are recognized only when the employees have accepted the offer and the related amount can be reasonably estimated.
 
  b.   Foreign exchange differences capitalized to assets under construction
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from borrowings used to finance the construction of the qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying assets. Capitalization of foreign exchange gains and losses 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 gains and losses are credited and charged to the consolidated statement of income as incurred.
 
  c.   Embedded derivative instrument
 
      The Company and its subsidiaries entered into contracts with their vendors which require payments denominated in various currencies other than functional currencies of both parties.
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, contracts which require payments denominated in foreign currencies other than functional currencies of a party or substantial party to the contracts are not presumed to contain embedded foreign currency derivative instruments if the currencies are commonly used in local business transactions.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, the contracts do not qualify for such exception unless the goods and services acquired are routinely denominated in a currency commonly used in international commerce. Hence, the foreign currency derivative instruments shall be separated from the host contract and accounted for as embedded foreign currency derivative instruments.

56.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INDONESIAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP (continued)
  (1)   Description of differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP (continued)
  d.   Interest capitalized on assets under construction
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, qualifying assets, to which interest cost can be capitalized, should be those that take a minimum of 12 months to get ready for their intended use or sale. To the extent that funds are borrowed specifically to finance the construction of a qualifying asset, the amount of the 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. a minimum 12-month construction period requirement) on the length of the construction period in which the interest cost could be capitalized. The amount of interest cost to be capitalized for qualifying assets is intended to be that portion of the interest cost incurred during the construction periods that theoretically could have been avoided if expenditures for the assets had not been made. The interest cost need not arise from borrowings specifically made to acquire the qualifying assets. The amount capitalized in a period is determined by applying an interest rate to the average amount of accumulated expenditures for the assets during the period. Interest income arising from any unused borrowings is recognized directly as income in the consolidated statement of income.
 
  e.   RSA
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, property, plant and equipment built by an investor under RSA are recognized as property, plant and equipment under RSA in the accounting records 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 RSA are recorded in a manner similar to finance leases where the property, plant and equipment and obligation under RSA are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet. All revenues generated from the RSA are recorded as a component of operating revenues, while a portion of the investors’ share of the revenues from the RSA is recorded as interest expense with the balance treated as a reduction of the obligation under RSA.
 
  f.   Employee benefits
 
      The Company and its subsidiaries adopted PSAK 24 (Revised 2004) in accounting for the costs of pension benefit, post-retirement health care benefit and other post-retirement benefits for Indonesian GAAP purposes.

56.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INDONESIAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP (continued)
  (1)   Description of differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP (continued)
  f.   Employee benefits (continued)
 
      The differences between the accounting for the pension benefits, post-retirement health care benefits and other post-retirement benefits under Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP are as follows:
  i.   Prior service cost
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, the prior service cost is recognized immediately if vested or amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. The recognized amount is recorded as a component of net periodic benefit cost for the year.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, the prior service cost (vested and non-vested benefits) is deferred and amortized systematically over the estimated remaining service periods for active employees and the amortized amount is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.
 
  ii.   Transition obligations relating to pension and post-retirement healthcare benefits
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, the transition obligations were recognized on January 1, 2004, the date PSAK 24 (Revised 2004) was adopted.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, the transition obligations arising from the adoption of SFAS 87 “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions” (“SFAS 87”) on January 1, 1992 and SFAS 106 “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” (“SFAS 106”) on January 1, 1995, were deferred and amortized systematically over the estimated remaining service periods for active employees and 20 years, respectively. In addition, different adoption dates resulted in significant difference in cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses.
      In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R” (“SFAS 158”). The requirements of SFAS 158 to recognize the funded status and to provide the required disclosures are effective for fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The Company and its subsidiaries have adopted the above recognition and disclosure requirements of SFAS 158 from the year ended December 31, 2006.

56.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INDONESIAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP (continued)
  (1)   Description of differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP (continued)
  f.   Employee benefits (continued)
 
      SFAS 158 does not change the determination of net periodic benefit pension costs under SFAS 87, SFAS 106 and SFAS 112, “Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 43” (“SFAS 112”). The impacts of the adoption of SFAS 158 are as follows:
  i.   The Company and its subsidiaries no longer report the additional minimum liability and any corresponding intangible asset for the unfunded pension obligation as the funded status for unfunded or underfunded benefit plans is now fully recognized as net pension liability on the balance sheets. The absence of the requirement for recognizing the additional minimum liability under US. GAAP is also similar under Indonesian GAAP.
 
  ii.   On adoption of SFAS 158, the unrecognized actuarial losses, prior service costs, and transition obligations were recognized, net of tax, in the accumulated other comprehensive income balance. These will continue to be amortized and reported as a component of net periodic benefit costs in the consolidated statements of income in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 87, SFAS 106 and SFAS 112.
  g.   Equity in net income or loss of associated companies
 
      The Company and its subsidiaries record their equity in net income or loss of their associated companies based on the associated companies’ financial statements that have been prepared under Indonesian GAAP.
 
      For U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, the Company and its subsidiaries recognize 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 and other comprehensive income or loss of the associated companies.
 
  h.   Land rights
 
      In Indonesia, the title of land rests with the State under the Basic Agrarian Law No. 5/1960. 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 collateral for 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 or the contractual period of the land rights, which ranges from 20 to 30 years.

56.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INDONESIAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP (continued)
  (1)   Description of differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP (continued)
  i.   Revenue recognition
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, fees from connection of mobile cellular and fixed wireless services are recognized as revenues when connection takes place (for postpaid service). Sales of starter packs are recognized as revenues upon delivery to distributors, dealers, or customers (for pre-paid services). Installation fees for wireline services are recognized at the time of installation. Revenues from calling cards are recognized when the Company sells the cards.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, revenues from front-end fees and incremental costs up to, but not exceeding such fees, are deferred and recognized as income over the expected term of the customer relationships. Revenues from calling cards are recognized upon usage or expiration.
 
  j.   Amortization of goodwill
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, the amortization period of goodwill should not exceed five years, unless a longer period, not exceeding 20 years, can be justified.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, goodwill is not amortized but rather subjected to test for impairment.
 
  k.   Finance leases
 
      Prior to 2008, 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, (b) the sum of periodic lease payments, plus the residual value, will cover the acquisition price of the leased asset and the related interest, and (c) there is a minimum lease period of 2 years.
 
      Effective from January 1, 2008, under PSAK 30R, the criteria to classify leases into operating leases and finance leases have been changed. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership; otherwise, it is classified as an operating lease. The standard should be applied either retrospectively to all transactions since the commencing dates of the related agreements (“retrospective application”) or prospectively as if the standard had been applied since the beginning of the reporting periods (“prospective application”). The Company has decided to select the prospective application.
 
      The Indonesian GAAP, under certain circumstances, is different to the provisions under US GAAP, particularly in the assessment approach.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, a leased asset is capitalized when any one of the following criteria is met: (a) there is an automatic transfer of ownership at the end of the lease term, (b) the lease contains a bargain purchase option, (c) the lease term is for 75% or more of the economic life of the asset, and (d) the net present value of the minimum lease payments amounts to at least 90% of the fair value of the asset.
 
      Indonesian GAAP which is based on a risks and rewards assessment that entails more judgment calls, does not include such provision.
 
      However, based on the Company’s assessment, given the nature of the transactions, the adoption of those standards has a similar impact, to the extent it is material. The impact of the adoption of the PSAK 30R on the finance leases has been recorded in the 2008 statement of income as the impact to prior year is insignificant. Thus, the prior difference between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP is eliminated as shown in the summary of adjustments to the consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2008.

56.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INDONESIAN GAAP AND U.S. GAAP (continued)
  (1)   Description of differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP (continued)
  l.   Acquisition of Dayamitra
 
      On May 17, 2001 the Company acquired a 90.32% interest in Dayamitra and entered into a call option agreement to buy the remaining 9.68% interest at a fixed price at a stated future date. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company consolidated 100% of Dayamitra.
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company accounted for the remaining 9.68% interest in Dayamitra as minority interest and started consolidating the remaining 9.68% interest on December 14, 2004, the exercise date of the option.
 
      The difference in the timing of the recognition of the 9.68% ownership interest gives rise to differences in the amount of intangible assets recognized and the respective amortization expense.
 
  m.   Asset retirement obligations
 
      Prior to 2008, 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 the “consolidated statement of income” as incurred.
 
      Under the revised Indonesian GAAP which is effective from January 1, 2008, the obligations are capitalized as costs related to long-lived assets and depreciated over the useful lives of the assets. The Indonesian GAAP, under certain circumstances, is different to the provision under U.S. GAAP particularly in determining discounted liability and accretion expense. However, because the impact to prior periods is insignificant, the cumulative effect is charged to the 2008 “consolidated statement of income”.
 
  n.   Deferred taxes
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company and its subsidiaries do not recognize deferred taxes on temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of their equity method investments when it is not probable that these differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. For financial reporting purposes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current accounts.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxes are recognized in full on temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of equity method investments. For financial reporting purposes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented either as current or non-current accounts based on the expected realization of the related assets or liabilities.
 
  o.   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 a 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 the current market assessment 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.

  (1)   Description of differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP (continued)
  o.   Impairment of assets (continued)
 
      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 its quoted market price in an active market or its discounted estimated future cash flows. Reversals of previously recognized impairment losses are prohibited.
 
  p.   Gains (losses) on disposals of property, plant and equipment
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company and its subsidiaries classify the gains (losses) on disposals of property, plant and equipment as component of other income (expense) which are excluded from determination of operating income.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, the gains (losses) on disposals of property, plant and equipment are classified as component of operating expenses and hence included in the determination of operating income. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the operating income would have been higher (lower) by (Rp.47,983) million, Rp.20,641 million and (Rp.15,659 million), respectively, and other income (expenses) would have been (higher) lower by the same amounts due to the inclusion of the gains (losses) on disposals of property, plant and equipment in the determination of operating income.
 
  q.   Available-for-sale securities
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, available-for-sale securities are carried at fair values and changes in fair values are recognized in “Unrealized holding gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities” under stockholders’ equity section.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, available-for-sale securities are carried at fair values and any unrealized gains or losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income under stockholders’ equity section.

  r.   Cumulative translation adjustments
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, investments in foreign companies using the equity method are reported by translating the assets and the liabilities of these companies as of the balance sheet date using the rate of exchange prevailing at that date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the exchange rates at the date of transaction or the average exchange rate for the year for practical reasons. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as part of “Translation adjustments” in the stockholders’ equity section.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, the resulting translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income under stockholders’ equity section.
 
  s.   Amendment and restatement of the KSO VII
 
      The Company has accounted for the amendment and restatement of the KSO VII agreement as a business combination using the purchase method of accounting.
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, the fair value of the unearned income relating to the RSA was deemed to be equal to the fair value of the property, plant and equipment under those RSA based on the accounting treatment of RSA under Indonesian GAAP.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, the fair value of the obligation under the RSA has been determined to be Rp.473,754 million based on the present value of the estimated future payments to BSI’s business partners under the RSA.
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, 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. After assigning the purchase consideration to all other identifiable assets and liabilities, the remaining residual amount was allocated to the intangible asset representing the right to operate the business in the KSO VII area, to be amortized over the remaining KSO VII term of 4.3 years. As a result, there was no goodwill recognized under Indonesian GAAP.
 
      For U.S. GAAP reporting purposes, the right to operate the KSO VII operation represented a reacquired right and was recognized by the Company as a separate intangible asset under Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 04-1 “Accounting for Preexisting Relationships between the Parties to a Business Combination”. The intangible asset was directly valued to determine its fair value in accordance with the requirements in EITF Topic No. D-108 “Use of the Residual Method to Value Acquired Assets Other Than Goodwill”. The excess of the purchase consideration over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Rp.61,386 million was recognized as goodwill.

  t.   Fair value measurement
 
      Under Indonesian GAAP, there is no specific accounting standard that prescribes fair value measurements. However, there are some accounting standards that require or permit the use of fair value as a measurement objective in specified circumstances.
 
      Under U.S. GAAP, the information regarding fair value hierarchy shall be disclosed, segregating fair value measurements using quoted price in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). For assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value using significant unobservable input (Level 3), the Company shall disclose the total realized and unrealized gains or losses for the period included in earnings or changes in net assets. As of December 31, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries have decided to delay the application of SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) for non financial assets and liabilities except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, under the provisions of FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”).

  a.   Income tax (continued)
  (ii).   Deferred tax (continued)
 
      For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries adopted SFAS 158 and recognized deferred tax assets arising from the transition obligations, the prior service costs and the actuarial losses totaling Rp.777,691 million and Rp.444,336 million, respectively, in the accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
      Deferred tax assets relating to deferred consideration for business combinations arose from the tax deductions that could be claimed on the fixed monthly payments to MGTI and BSI for corporate income tax calculations.
 
  (iii).   Accounting for uncertainty in income tax
 
      The Company and its subsidiaries adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, “Uncertainty in Income Tax: an Interpretation of SFAS 109” (“FIN 48”) effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position shall be recognized when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position, that the position will be sustained on examination by the Tax Authorities. The amount of the tax benefits to be recognized is the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
 
      Based on the analysis of all tax positions of the Company and its subsidiaries related to income taxes subject to SFAS 109, the Company and its subsidiaries determined that there is no material impact on the consolidated financial statements for any years still subject to any tax examination, and that the recognition of unrecognized tax benefits will not have a material impact on the effective income tax rate in any given years. The Company and its subsidiaries do not anticipate that the current position of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months.
 
      For the year ended December 31, 2008, there have been no interest and penalties incurred in relation with corporate income taxes. The Company and subsidiaries record interest and penalties for the underpayment of income taxes, if any, in interest expenses and other expenses account, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements.
 
      The Company has been audited by the Tax Office up to the fiscal year 2004, excluding fiscal year 2003, Telkomsel up to fiscal year 2005 excluding fiscal year 2003, GSD up to fiscal year 2002 and Infomedia up to fiscal years 2003. Currently, Telkomsel, PIN and GSD are being audited by the Tax Office for the fiscal year 2006, 2007 and 2007, respectively.

  b.   Fair values of financial instruments
 
      The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
  (i).   Cash and cash equivalents and temporary investments
 
      The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of the financial assets.
 
  (ii).   Short-term bank loans and current maturities of long-term liabilities
 
      The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of the financial liabilities.
 
  (iii).   Embedded derivative instrument
 
      Derivative receivable and payable comprise embedded derivative recognized under U.S. GAAP. These are valued using internal model. The models maximize the use of market observable input including forward and spot prices for currencies.
 
  (iv).   Long-term liabilities
 
      The fair values of long-term liabilities are estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each liability at rates currently offered to the Company and its subsidiaries for similar debts of comparable maturities by the bankers of the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
  (v).   The estimated fair values of the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial assets and liabilities are as follows:

    2006   2007   2008
Health care costs trend assumed for next year
    12 %     14 %     12 %

  g.   The actuarial valuations for the defined benefit pension plan and post-retirement health care plan as of December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 were prepared on April 24, 2007, March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively, by an independent actuary.
 
      The discount rates were based on the Government Bond yields. The rates of compensation increases assumed were based on the long-term inflation rates of between 6% and 7%. The expected long-term returns on the plan assets were based on the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested.
 
      Assumed future health care cost trends have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plan. A one-percentage-point change in the assumed future health care costs trend rates would have the following effects:
                 
    1-percentage-   1-percentage-
    point increase   point decrease
Effect on total of service and interest costs components
    121,219       (99,454 )

      Temporary investments are primarily comprised of shares, mutual funds and Corporate and Government bonds. Corporate and Government bonds are stated at fair value by reference to prices of similar securities at balance sheet date. As they are not actively traded in an established market, these securities are classified as level 2. Shares and mutual funds that are stated at fair value using quoted market price and are classified as level 1.
 
      Derivative receivable and payable comprise embedded derivative recognized under U.S. GAAP. These are valued using internal models. The models maximize the use of market observable input including forward and spot prices for currencies.
 
      Derivative receivable and payable included in level 3 represent procurement contracts that contain embedded foreign currency derivative features.
 
      On February 12, 2008, FASB issued FSP 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. As permitted by FSP 157-2, the Company elected to defer the fair value measurement disclosure of non financial assets including property, plant and equipment, licenses, goodwill and finite-lived intangible asset in the determination of impairment under SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) or SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), and asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value under SFAS 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligation” (“SFAS 143”). The Company and its subsidiaries are currently assessing the impact of the full adoption of SFAS 157 on the consolidated financial statements.
 
  g.   Recent accounting pronouncements in the United States of America
 
      In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141 (Revised 2007)”). The revision provides guidance on recognizing assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. It also provides guidance on recording step-by-step acquisition, recognizing and measuring goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase, equity interest exchange and noncontrolling interest presentation. SFAS 141 (Revised 2007) shall be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier application of SFAS 141 (Revised 2007) is prohibited. Assets and liabilities that arose from business combinations whose acquisition dates preceded the application of SFAS 141 (Revised 2007) shall not be adjusted.
 
      In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It also provides guidance on recognizing a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and providing disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 shall be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. Earlier application of SFAS 160 is prohibited. The Company and its subsidiaries are currently assessing the impact of the requirements of SFAS 160 on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities and requires an entity to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why the entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 shall be effective for the financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is encouraged. The Company and its subsidiaries are currently assessing the impact of the application of SFAS 161 on the consolidated financial statements.
 
      In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”), which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. SFAS 162 shall be effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Boards (PCAOB) amendments to Auditing Standard (AU) Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 will be used as guidance in applying U.S. GAAP by the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
      In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contract — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60” (“SFAS 163”) which interprets SFAS 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises” and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts that are not accounted for as derivative instruments. SFAS 163 provides guidance on recognizing, measuring and derecognizing unearned premium revenue and claim liability by an insurance enterprise. It also provides guidance on how to provide disclosures in financial statements by an insurance enterprise. SFAS 163 shall be effective for the financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 163 will not have impact on the consolidated financial statements.
