u. Income Tax

Bank Mandiri and Subsidiaries apply the liability method to determine income tax expense. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at each reporting date. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits, such as the carry-forward of unused tax losses, to the extent that realization of such benefits is probable. Deferred tax is calculated using the valid tax rate or substantially has been valid on the balance sheet date. The charge on the written value of deferred tax assets and liabilities are caused by the change in tax rate during the current year, except for transactions which previously have been directly charged or credited to shareholders’ equity. Amendments to tax obligations are recorded when an assessment is received or, if appealed against, when the result of the appeal is determined. The corporate income tax of Bank Mandiri and its Subsidiaries is computed for each company as a separate legal entity. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities for different legal entities are not offset in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets are presented net of deferred tax liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

v. Interest Income and Interest Expense

Interest income and interest expense are recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income on non- performing earning assets is not recognized, except to the extent of cash collections received. When a loan is classified as non-performing, interest income previously recognized but not yet collected is reversed against interest income. The reversed interest income is recognized as a contingent receivable.

The interest income from restructured loan are recognized only when it is received in cash before the loan’s quality become current as determined by Bank Indonesia Regulation No. 72PBI2005 dated January 20, 2005 regarding Asset Quality Rating for Commercial Banks.

w. Fees and Commissions

Significant fees and commissions that are directly related to lending activities andor involving specific time periods are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over those periods. The balances of unamortized fees and commissions relating to loans settled prior to maturity are recognized upon settlement. Other fees and commissions that are not directly related to lending activities or involving specific time periods are recognized as income at the transaction date.

x. Post-Employment Benefits

The estimated provision is based on the results of an independent actuarial valuation in accordance with Labor Law No. 132003 and the revised PSAK No. 24 regarding “Employee Benefits”. Bank Mandiri established a defined contribution pension plan covering substantially all of its eligible employees from August 1, 1999. It also supports defined benefit pension plans, which were derived from each of the Merged Banks’ pension plans. Bank Mandiri recognizes a provision for post employment benefits under the Labor Law No. 132003 regarding the settlement of labor dismissal and the stipulation of severance pay, gratuity and compensation in companies. The provision has been calculated by comparing the benefit that will be received by an employee at normal pension age from the Pension Plans with the benefit as stipulated under the Labor Law No. 132003 after deducting accumulated employee contributions and the results of its investments. If the pension benefit from the Pension Plans is less than the benefit as required by the Labor Law, the Bank will have to pay such shortage. Provision for employee service entitlements is accrued based on the results of an independent actuary’s valuation. Actuarial gain and loss is recognized as income or expense if the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains or losses at the end of the previous reporting period exceeded the greater of 10 of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at that date before deducting plan assets and 10 of the fair value of any plan assets at that date. The amount of actuarial gain or loss is recognized through the average remaining working period of the employee in the program. Past service cost arises when the bank introduces a defined benefit plan or changes the benefits payable under an existing defined benefit plan. Past service cost is recognized over the period until the benefits concerned are vested.
