58. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

The operations of the Bank have been affected, and may continue to be affected for the foreseeable future by the economic conditions in Indonesia. Despite the recent improvement in the key economic indicators, Indonesian banks have engaged in limited lending activities. Any worsening of the economic conditions, including a significant depreciation of the Rupiah or increase in interest rates, could adversely affect the ability of the Bank’s customers including borrowers and other contractual counterparties to fulfill their obligations when they mature, and consequently negatively impact the Bank’s profitability and its capital adequacy. Economic improvements and sustained recovery are dependent upon several factors such as the fiscal and monetary actions being undertaken by the Government and others, actions that are beyond the control of the Bank. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the effects of the adverse economic conditions to the extent they can be determined and estimated. Economic improvements and sustained recovery are dependent upon the fiscal and monetary action being undertaken by the Government to achieve the economic recovery, actions that are beyond the control of the Bank and 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, shareholders 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. 59.

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 BI. Under IAS No. 39 - “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, the Bank calculates allowances for possible losses on earning assets based on the difference between the carrying amount of the impaired earning asset and the net present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the earning assets original effective interest rate. 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. In addition, the Bank also recognizes allowances for possible losses on unimpaired loans in accordance with BI minimum provision. 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.
