SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOLLOWED BY THE BANK “INDONESIAN GAAP” AND INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS “IFRS” The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indonesian GAAP, which varies in certain significant respects from IFRS. The significant differences relate to the items in the following paragraphs: a. Allowance for Possible Losses on Earning Assets Under Indonesian GAAP, the Bank records allowances for possible losses on earning assets using general and specific allowances based on management’s estimates and using the guidelines prescribed by Bank Indonesia. Under IFRS, the Bank records allowances for possible losses on earning assets that are not considered impaired using general and specific allowances in accordance with the provisions of IAS No. 37 - “Estimated Liabilities, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”. Under IAS No. 39 - “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, the Bank calculates allowances for possible losses on earning assets based on the net present value of earning assets that are impaired and based on the expected collection of other earning assets. An earning asset is considered impaired when it becomes probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to contractual terms. b. Allowance for Possible Losses on Commitments and Contingencies Under Indonesian GAAP, the Bank records allowances for possible losses on commitments and contingencies using general and specific allowances based on management’s estimates and using the guidelines prescribed by Bank Indonesia. Under IFRS, the Bank does not recognize certain of the allowances for possible losses on commitments and contingencies in accordance with the provisions of IAS No. 37-“Estimated Liabilities, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”. c. Derivative instruments Under Indonesian GAAP, the Bank applies SFAS No. 55 - “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” which requires that derivative instruments be measured and recognized at their fair values. As of April 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the fair value of the foreign currency forward transactions has been determined based on Reuters spot rates at the reporting dates in accordance with the reporting guidelines prescribed by Bank Indonesia. On October 23, 2003, Bank Indonesia issued a letter to amend the guidelines and waived the requirement to use spot rates of exchange to revalue foreign currency forward contracts.
