59. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Continued

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the effects of the adverse economic conditions to the extent they can be determined and estimated. Recovery of the economy depends on the monetary, fiscal and other measures that have been and will be undertaken by the Indonesian Government to achieve economic recovery, which actions are beyond the control of Bank Mandiri and its Subsidiaries. It is not possible to determine the future effects a continuation of the adverse economic conditions may have on Bank Mandiri’s and its Subsidiaries’ liquidity, earnings and realization of their earning assets, including the effects from their customers, creditors, shareholder and other stakeholders. The ultimate effect of these uncertainties on the stated amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date cannot presently be determined. Related effects will be reported in the consolidated financial statements as they become known and can be estimated.

62. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

FOLLOWED BY THE BANK “INDONESIAN GAAP” AND INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS “IAS” The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indonesian GAAP, which varies in certain significant respects from IAS. The significant differences relate to the items in the following paragraphs: a. Investments Held-to-Maturity As of September 30, 2001, the Bank had reclassified certain of its Government Bonds and other investments from its held-to-maturity portfolio to its trading or available-for-sale portfolios that are outlined in SFAS No. 50 – “Accounting for Specific Securities.” In accordance with its application of Indonesian GAAP, the Bank did not mark-to-market the remaining held-to-maturity portfolio as a result of these transactions. Under IAS No. 39 – “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, the Bank made these reclassifications from its held-to-maturity portfolio as of January 1, 2001.
