a. Basis of Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in Indonesia, which are based on Statements of Financial Accounting Standards PSAK, the Capital Market Supervisory Agency’s Bapepam regulations, and Guidelines for Financial Statements Presentation and Disclosures for publicly listed companies issued by the Bapepam for manufacturing and investment companies. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis using the historical cost concept of accounting, except for inventories which are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value market, derivative instruments and short-term investments which are stated at market values, certain investments in shares of stock which are accounted for under the equity method, and certain fixed assets which are stated at revalued amounts. The consolidated statements of cash flows present receipts and payments of cash and cash equivalents classified into operating, investing and financing activities. The cash flows from operating activities are presented using the direct method. The reporting currency used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is the Indonesian rupiah. Effective as of January 1, 2005, the Company adopted Indonesian Statement of Accounting Standard PSAK No. 38 Revised 2004, “Accounting for Restructuring of Entities under Common Control” on a retroactive basis. This standard provides for the realization of the restructuring difference to gain or loss if the conditions therein are fulfilled. The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 have been restated for the retrospective recognition of the restructuring differences amounting to Rp1,496,514,575,077.
