2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued l.
Property and equipment - direct acquisitions continued
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 the
computer software is independent from its computer hardware, it is recorded as part of intangible assets.
The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to the consolidated statements of comprehensive 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  and  equipment  account  to  which  it  relates.  During  the
construction period until the property is ready for its intended use or sale, borrowing costs, which include interest expense and foreign currency exchange differences incurred on loans obtained to
finance the construction of the asset, as long as it meets the definition of a qualifying asset, are capitalized  in  proportion  to  the  average  amount  of  accumulated  expenditures  during  the  period.
Capitalization of borrowing cost ceases when the construction is completed and the asset is ready for its intended use.
Equipment  temporarily  unused  is  reclassified  to  equipment  not  used  in  operations  and depreciated over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method.
m.  Leases
In  determining  whether  an  arrangement  is,  or  contains  a  lease,  the  Company  and  subsidiaries perform an evaluation over the substance of the arrangement. A lease is classified as a finance
lease or operating lease based on the substance, not the form, of the contract. Finance lease is recognized if the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership
of the leased asset.
Assets  and  liabilities  under  a  finance  lease  are  recognized  in  the  consolidated  statement  of financial position at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present
value  of  the  minimum  lease  payments.  Any  initial  direct  costs  of  the  Company  and  subsidiaries are added to the amount recognized as assets.
Minimum  lease  payments  are  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 are charged as expenses in the year in which they are incurred.
Leased  assets  are  depreciated  using  the  same  method  and  based  on  the  useful  lives  as estimated  for  directly  acquired  property  and  equipment.  However,  if  there  is  no  reasonable
certainty  that  the  Company  and  subsidiaries  will  obtain  ownership  by  the  end  of  the  lease  term, the  leased  assets  are  fully  depreciated  over  the  shorter  of  the  lease  term  and  their  economic
useful lives.
Lease 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 lease period.
n.  Deferred charges - land rights
The  Company  and  subsidiaries  have  implemented  ISAK  25,  “Land  Rights”,  which  was  effective starting  on  January  1,  2012.  Based  on  ISAK  25,  costs  incurred  to  process  the  initial  legal  land
rights are recognized as part of the property and equipment and are not amortized. Costs incurred to  process  the  extension  or  renewal  of  legal  land  rights  are  deferred  and  amortized  over  the
shorter of the term of the land rights or the economic life of the land.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued o.  Trade payables
Trade  payables  are  obligations  to  pay  for  goods  or  services  that  have  been  acquired  in  the ordinary  course  of  business  from  suppliers.  Trade  payables  are  classified  as  current  liabilities  if
payment  is  due  within  one  year  or  less  or  in  the  normal  operating  cycle  of  the  business,  if  this period is longer. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
p.  Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds net of transaction
costs  and  the  redemption  value  is  recognized  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on obtaining loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that  it  is  probable  that  some  or  all  of  the  facilities  will  be  drawn  down.  In  this  case,  the  fee  is
deferred  until  the  drawdown  occurs.  To  the  extent  there  is  no  evidence  that  it  is  probable  that some or all of the facilities will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity
services and amortized over the period of the facilities to which it relates.
q.  Foreign currency translations The functional currency and the recording currency of the Company and subsidiaries are both the
Indonesian  rupiah,  except  for  the  functional  currency  of  Telekomunikasi  Indonesia  International Pte.  Ltd.,  Hong  Kong,  Telekomunikasi  Indonesia  International  Pte.,  Singapore,  and
Telekomunikasi  Indonesia  International  S.A.,  Timor  Leste  whose  accounting  records  are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Indonesian rupiah
at the rates of exchange prevailing at transaction date. At the consolidated statement of financial position date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into
Indonesian  rupiah  based  on  the  buy  and  sell  rates  quoted  by  Reuters  prevailing  at  the consolidated statement of financial position date, as follows:

are  capitalized  to  the  extent  that  the  borrowings  can  be  attributed  to  the  construction  of  those qualifying assets Note 2l.
