The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Indonesia “Indonesian GAAP”.

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on the consolidated financial statements.

c. Transactions with related parties

The Company and its subsidiaries have transactions with related parties. The definition of related parties used is in accordance with Indonesian Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Pernyataan Standar Akuntansi Keuangan or “PSAK” 7, “Related Party Disclosures”.

d. Acquisitions of subsidiaries

The acquisition of a subsidiary from a third party is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The cost of an acquisition is allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities recognized using as reference, their fair values at the date of the transaction. The excess of the acquisition cost over the Companys interest in the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill and amortized using the straight-line method over a period of not more than five years, except longer period but not more than twenty years can be justified. The Company continually assesses whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would require revision of the remaining estimated useful life of intangible assets and goodwill, or whether there is any indication of impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of intangible assets and goodwill is estimated based on the expected future cash flows which are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
