2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies adopted by the Group conform to generally accepted accounting principles in Indonesia. The significant accounting principles applied consistently
in the
preparation of
the consolidated
financial statements
for the six months period ended June 30, 2007 and
2006 are as follows:
a. Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting and practices generally accepted in Indonesia, which includes Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards PSAK issued by the Indonesian Institute of Accountants and Regulations and Guidelines on Financial Statements Presentation set out by the Capital Market Supervisory
Agency BAPEPAM. The consolidated financial statements, presented in thousands of Rupiah unless otherwise stated,
have been prepared on accrual basis, except for statements of cash flows, and using historical costs, except for inventories that are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable values and
certain items of fixed assets and mature plantations which were revalued on April 30, 2003. The consolidated statements of cash flows present cash receipts and payments classified into
operating, investing and financing activities, and are presented using the direct method. The reporting currency used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is in
Rupiah, except for PAL, which has adopted the US Dollar as its fuctional, reporting and recording currency since January 1, 2007. For consolidation purposes, the accounts of PAL are translated
into Rupiah amounts on the following basis:
Balance sheet accounts : Prevailing rate of exchange as published by Bank Indonesia at the
last banking day as of June 30, 2007 amounting to Rp9,054 full amount per US1.
Income statement accounts : The exchange rates prevailing at the date of transactions.
Gains or losses arising from translation of balance sheet and income statements accounts are presented as “Difference in Foreign Currency Translation” in the equity section of the consolidated
balance sheet.
b. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s financial statements and all subsidiaries financial statements that are controlled by the Company. Control is presumed to exist
where more than 50, directly or indirectly of a subsidiarys voting power, is controlled by the Company; or where the Company is able to govern the financial and operating policies of a
subsidiary; or control the removal or appointment of a majority of a subsidiarys board of directors. Significant inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized profit loss, have been
eliminated to present the financial position and results of operations of the Company and subsidiaries as a single economic entity.
