Selected Financial Data

   The following table presents our selected consolidated financial information
and operating statistics for each of the periods indicated. This information
should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to, our audited consolidated financial statements, including the
notes thereto, and the other information included elsewhere herein. Our audited
consolidated financial statements are stated as of December 31, 2001 and 2002
and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002. Our consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000 were
audited by Siddharta, Siddharta & Widjaja, the member firm of KPMG
International in Indonesia. Our consolidated financial statements as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2001 were audited by Prasetio Utomo & Co. (then a
member of Andersen Worldwide, SC, in Indonesia), except with respect to P.T.
Satelit Palapa Indonesia ("Satelindo")'s consolidated financial statements,
which were audited by Siddharta, Siddharta & Widjaja. Our consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 have been
audited by Prasetio, Sarwoko & Sandjaja, the member firm of Ernst & Young
Global in Indonesia.

   Our 1999 and 2000 audited consolidated financial statements were restated in
2001 to include our equity in Satelindo (previously accounted for by the cost
method) and to consolidate the net assets of P.T. Aplikanusa Lintasarta
("Lintasarta") (previously accounted for by the equity method), as if these
acquisitions took place at the beginning of the earliest period presented in
the 1999 audited consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to Item 3.A.1 of
Form 20-F, selected financial data for the period ended December 31, 1998 has
not been presented on a restated basis as it would require unreasonable effort
or expense on our part.

   Such audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Indonesian GAAP, which differs in certain significant respects
from U.S. GAAP. See "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" and Notes 39
to 41 of the Notes to our audited consolidated financial statements contained
elsewhere herein, which provide a description of certain material differences
between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP, as they relate to us and a
reconciliation to the amount of U.S. GAAP net income for each of the years
ended December 31, 2000, 2001, and 2002 and the amount of U.S. GAAP
stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2001 and 2002.

   Bank Indonesia is the sole issuer of Rupiah and is responsible for
maintaining the stability of the Rupiah. Prior to August 14, 1997, Bank
Indonesia maintained stability of the Rupiah through a trading band policy,
pursuant to which Bank Indonesia would enter the foreign currency market and
buy or sell Rupiah, as required, when trading in the Rupiah exceeded bid and
offer prices announced by Bank Indonesia on a daily basis. On August 14, 1997,
Bank Indonesia terminated the trading band policy and permitted the exchange
rate for the Rupiah to float without an announced level at which it would
intervene. Since that date, the Rupiah has depreciated significantly against
world currencies, from Rp. 2,530 per U.S. dollar on August 13, 1997 to a range
of Rp. 7,300--Rp. 14,900 per U.S. dollar during 1998, Rp. 6,726--Rp. 8,950 per
U.S. dollar during 1999, Rp. 6,935--Rp. 9,595 per U.S. dollar during 2000, Rp.
8,425--Rp. 11,145 per U.S. dollar during 2001, and Rp. 8,460--Rp. 10,473 per
U.S. dollar during 2002. At December 31, 2002 the exchange rate was at Rp.
8,940 per U.S. dollar, compared with the exchange rate of Rp. 10,400 per U.S.
dollar at December 31, 2001, reflecting annual appreciation of 14.0%. On June
23, 2003, the exchange rate was Rp. 8,253 per U.S. dollar.

Foreign Exchange and Foreign Equity Ownership Restrictions

   Foreign exchange controls were abolished in 1971, and Indonesia now
maintains a liberal foreign exchange system that permits the free flow of
foreign exchange. Capital transactions, including remittances of capital,
profits, dividends and interest, are free from exchange controls. A number of
regulations, however, have an impact on the exchange system. Bank Indonesia
recently introduced regulations to restrict the movement of Rupiah from banks
within Indonesia to offshore banks without underlying trade or investment
reasons, thereby limiting offshore trading to existing sources of liquidity. In
addition, Bank Indonesia has authority to request information and data
concerning the foreign exchange activities of all people and legal entities
that are domiciled in Indonesia or plan to domicile in Indonesia for at least
one year.

   Prior to September 1997, foreign investors were only permitted to purchase
up to 49% of shares offered in a public offer and up to 49% of the publicly
listed shares of all Indonesian listed companies regardless of the nature of
their activities. On September 4, 1997, such restrictions were removed for most
Indonesian companies, including us.

                                 RISK FACTORS

Risks Relating to Indonesia

  Certain economic, political and financial developments in Indonesia have had
  an adverse effect on us and any future adverse economic developments in
  Indonesia will likely have an adverse effect on us.

   We are incorporated in Indonesia and substantially all of our operations,
assets, revenues, operating profits and customers are located in Indonesia. As
a result, future political, economic and social conditions in Indonesia, as
well as certain actions and policies which the Government may, or may not, take
or adopt may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. It is not possible to predict their impact
on our financial condition or results of operations.

  Current political and social events in Indonesia may adversely impact our
  business.

   Since the collapse of President Soeharto's regime in 1998, Indonesia has
experienced a process of democratic change, resulting in political and social
events that have highlighted the unpredictable nature of Indonesia's changing
political landscape. These events have resulted in political instability, as
well as general social and civil unrest on a number of occasions in the past
few years.

   For example, between 2000 and 2002, thousands of persons participated in
demonstrations in Jakarta and other Indonesian cities both for and against
former President Wahid and current President Megawati, as well as in response
to specific issues, such as economic reforms, including fuel tariff increases
and privatization of state assets, anti-corruption measures, decentralization
and provincial autonomy, actions of the former first family and the
American-led military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. These demonstrations
generally were peaceful, but other demonstrations have turned violent and led
to rioting. In June 2001, demonstrations and strikes affected at least 19
cities after the Government mandated a 30% increase in fuel prices. Similar
demonstrations occurred in January 2003, when the Government again tried to
increase fuel prices, as well as electricity and telephone charges. In both
instances, the Government was forced to drop or substantially reduce such
proposed increases. We have also been the subject of demonstrations. In 2002,
as part of its policy of privatizing certain state assets, the Government
disposed of a substantial part of its shareholding in Indosat (see "Major
Shareholders and Related Party Transactions--Major Shareholders"). This led to
a series of labor rallies and continued public debate and demonstrations.

   Recently, hostilities in the province of Aceh have reached new heights. A
prior peace pact, known as the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, has failed
to maintain peace between the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) militia and the
Indonesian government, and the Joint Security Committee formed by the two sides
has been disbanded. Increasing tension in Aceh province has led to a recent
military build-up in the province and continued outbreaks of violence, arson
and social unrest. Similarly, in Papua province, continued activity by
separatist rebels has led to violent incidents. Human rights violators,
including those from high-ranking military positions, have recently begun to be
more actively prosecuted in Indonesia, most notably with respect to Timor Leste
(formerly, East Timor), Aceh, Papua (formerly Irian Jaya) and the Moluccas.
However, the success of these prosecutions has been mixed, and many public
commentators and demonstrators have criticized the Government's failure to
prosecute human rights violations in Indonesia more vigorously.

   During the years 2002 and 2003, several bombing incidents took place in
Indonesia, most significantly in Bali in October 2002, a region of Indonesia
previously considered safe from the unrest affecting other parts of the
country. Other bombing incidents, although on a lesser scale, have also been
committed in Indonesia on a number of occasions over the past few years,
including at shopping centers and places of worship. Most recently, in May
2003, a bomb exploded at the domestic terminal at Jakarta International
Airport. There can be no assurance that further terrorist acts will not occur
in the future. Such terrorist acts may, for example, be directed at foreigners
in Indonesia or in relation to the national general elections scheduled for
2004. Such acts could also be committed in connection with the trial of those
suspected of committing the bombing in Bali. Violent acts,

                                      10



arising from and leading to instability and unrest have in the past had, and
could continue to have, a material adverse effect on investment and confidence
in, and the performance of, the Indonesian economy, and in turn our business.

   In the lead-up to the national general election scheduled for 2004, in which
Indonesians will for the first time directly elect the President,
Vice-President and representatives in the Indonesian parliament via a
proportional open voting system, increased political activity can be expected
in Indonesia. Political campaigning has already commenced. From prior
experience in recent elections in Indonesia, it can be expected that this
campaigning may bring a degree of political and social uncertainty to Indonesia
until the general election. As a result, the business community may also be
adversely affected, as foreign and domestic investors may exercise caution and
scale down or postpone business activity during this period.

   Political and related social developments in Indonesia have been
unpredictable in the past, and there can be no assurance that social and civil
disturbances will not occur in the future and on a wider scale, or that any
such disturbances will not, directly or indirectly, have a material adverse
effect on us or on an investment in the ADSs or Common Stock.

  Labor activism and unrest could affect our business, our customers and
  Indonesian companies in general, which in turn could adversely affect our
  business.

   Laws permitting the formation of labor unions, combined with weak economic
conditions, have resulted, and may continue to result, in labor unrest and
activism in Indonesia. In 2000, the Government issued new labor regulations on
termination of employees. The new regulations increased the amount of
severance, service and compensation payments payable to terminated employees.
Employees who resign during a change of control of their employer are also
entitled, under the new regulations, to service and compensation payments,
provided that such employees have worked for their employer for at least three
years. The new regulations also allow employees to unionize without
intervention from employers.

   In addition, in August 1999, Indosat's employees formed a labor union that
now has approximately 1,771 members, or 74.0% of Indosat's permanent employees.
Although the union has not taken industrial action aimed at disrupting
Indosat's operations in the past, it has recently threatened to do so in
connection with Indosat's privatization, and no assurances can be given that it
will not do so in the future. Satelindo's labor union consists of Satelindo's
transport workers, but has not been active to date. The labor unions may have
significant bargaining power and may cause modification or delay in the
implementation of our policies that the unions determine may adversely impact
the interests of its members. No assurances can be given that additional unions
will not be formed by our employees or that the formation of such unions or
activities of the current unions will not adversely affect our financial
condition or results of operations.

   The Government is currently implementing further amendments to Indonesia's
labor regulations although the exact terms of these amendments are not yet
published. On February 25, 2003 the Indonesian Parliament passed a new labor
law (the "Labor Law"), which automatically took effect on March 25, 2003. The
new Labor Law and new regulations that may be issued thereunder may
substantively affect labor relations in Indonesia. Labor unrest and activism
could disrupt our operations and the operations of our customers and may affect
adversely the financial condition of Indonesian companies in general,
depressing the value of the Rupiah relative to other currencies. In addition,
these and future labor regulations and laws may make it more difficult for
businesses, including us, to downsize or have flexible labor policies.

  Domestic, regional or global economic changes may adversely affect our
  business

   The economic crisis which affected Southeast Asia and Indonesia from
mid-1997 was and is characterized in Indonesia by, among other effects,
currency depreciation, negative economic growth, high interest rates, social
unrest and extraordinary political developments. These circumstances adversely
affected us; among other things, Satelindo defaulted on its debt repayment
obligations in 1998 and underwent a debt restructuring process that was
completed in May 2000.

                                      11



   In many respects, Indonesia's economy appears to have stabilized since 1997
and 1998. Gross domestic product ("GDP") grew at an annual rate of
approximately 0.3% in 1999, 4.8% in 2000, 3.4% in 2001 and 3.7% in 2002.
Nevertheless, commentators point to strong oil prices and the weak rupiah
(which generally support exports) as two important factors contributing to
recent GDP growth. The Government continues to have a large fiscal deficit and
a high level of sovereign debt, its foreign currency reserves are modest, the
Rupiah continues to be volatile and largely illiquid and the banking sector is
weak and suffers from high levels of non-performing loans. Inflation has also
remained high, with an annual inflation rate of 10.0% in 2002. A loss of
investor confidence in the financial systems of emerging and other markets may
cause increased volatility in the Indonesian financial markets. There can be no
assurance that financial events similar to those that occurred in emerging
markets of Asia in 1997 and 1998 will not happen again.

  Devaluation or volatility of the Rupiah, especially as against the U.S.
  dollar, may adversely affect our financial results and operations.

   Among the most significant aspects, and one of the most important immediate
causes of the economic crisis which began in Indonesia in mid-1997 was the
depreciation and persistent volatility of the value of its currency, the
Rupiah, as measured against other currencies, such as the U.S. dollar. Although
the Rupiah has appreciated considerably from its low point of approximately Rp.
17,000 per U.S. dollar in mid-1998, the Rupiah continues to experience
significant volatility and could decline further. See "--Exchange Rate
Information". Furthermore, there can be no assurance that financial events
similar to those that occurred in the emerging markets of Asia in 1997 and 1998
will not happen again.

   The Rupiah has generally been freely convertible and transferable (except
that Indonesian banks may not transfer Rupiah to persons outside of Indonesia
who lack a bona fide trade or investment purpose). However, from time to time,
Bank Indonesia may have intervened in the currency exchange markets in
furtherance of its policy, either by selling Rupiah or by using its foreign
currency reserves to purchase Rupiah. No assurances can be given that the
current floating exchange rate policy of Bank Indonesia will not be modified,
that additional depreciation of the Rupiah against other currencies, including
the U.S. dollar, will not occur, or that the Government will take additional
action when necessary to stabilize, maintain or increase the value of the
Rupiah, or that any such action, if taken, will be successful.

   A modification of the current floating exchange rate policy may result in
significantly higher domestic interest rates, liquidity shortages, capital or
exchange controls or the withholding of additional financial assistance by
multinational lenders. This may result in a reduction of economic activity,
economic recession, loan defaults or non-payment of bills by our customers, and
we may face difficulties in funding our capital expenditure commitments. If
they occur, the foregoing consequences could have a material adverse effect on
our business.

   Changes in exchange rates have affected and will continue to affect our net
financial results and cash flows. Most of our debt obligations and a large
majority of our capital expenditures are, or are expected to be, denominated in
U.S. dollars. Our revenues within Indonesia are generally denominated in
Rupiah. We may also incur additional long-term indebtedness in currencies other
than the Rupiah, including the U.S. dollar, to finance further capital
expenditures. As of December 31, 2002, our outstanding long-term debts, which
includes the current portion of long term debt and bonds payable, totaled Rp.
7,959.3 billion, of which approximately Rp. 4,323.6 billion was denominated in
currencies other than the Rupiah.

   We do not hedge our foreign currency exposure. Our annual U.S. dollar
revenues are less than the sum of our U.S. dollar expenses and annual payments
of U.S. dollar-denominated interest and principal payments. No assurances can
be given that we will be able to manage our currency exchange rate risk
successfully in the future or that we will not be adversely affected by our
exposure to currency exchange risk.

   Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Rupiah and the U.S. dollar
could affect, among other things, the dollar value of any amounts a holder or
beneficial owner of ADSs will receive in the event we issue

                                      12



dividends, the U.S. dollar value of the proceeds a holder or beneficial owner
would receive upon the sale in Indonesia of shares of the Common Stock and the
secondary market price of the ADSs.

  Indonesia relies heavily on aid from the International Monetary Fund and
  loans from the World Bank, and the effects of discontinuing that reliance are
  unpredictable.

   Having substantially depleted its foreign currency reserves, the Government
turned to the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") for financial assistance to
confront the economic crisis in Indonesia and, in October 1997, the IMF agreed
to provide financial assistance to Indonesia contingent upon the implementation
of numerous economic reforms. The IMF has disbursed funds to the Government
since late 1997, although some disbursements have been delayed. When the IMF
has withheld disbursement of funds, it has done so on the basis that the
Government has not adequately complied with the terms of its then-current
letter of intent, such as requirements to complete certain asset sales and
implementation of various reforms.

   The Government has announced that it intends to discontinue its reliance on
financial assistance from the IMF by the end of this year. Given the
Government's fiscal deficit and modest foreign exchange reserves, the
discontinuance by the IMF to disburse funds to the Government could cause the
Government, to be unable to fund subsidies for staples such as food and fuel,
which, in turn, could have extremely serious political and social consequences.
Other consequences of any such discontinuance are not known at this stage.
There can be no assurance that the Government would be able to obtain
alternative funding in the event the IMF ends its disbursement of funds.

   In addition to the IMF, the World Bank has been an important source of funds
for Indonesia. As of February 2003, the World Bank had provided a net amount of
financed projects amounting to US$3.5 billion, with disbursed projects totaling
US$2 billion. The World Bank has cited the slow pace of institutional reforms
in Indonesia, as well as concern that the Government's decentralization plan,
particularly the empowerment of provincial governments to borrow, could lead to
the central Government's inability to service its debts. The World Bank's
lending program is subject to regular compliance reviews and can be reduced or
withdrawn at any time. The impact of any reduction or elimination of lending
from the World Bank to Indonesia cannot be assessed.

  Indonesia's high level of sovereign debts may result in it being unable to
  service its debt obligations when they become due.

   Indonesia's high level of sovereign debt has forced it to negotiate with its
major creditors several times since the 1997 financial crisis. For example, the
Government held a round of talks with the Paris Club donor countries and the
IMF in April 2002 to discuss the rescheduling of Indonesia's debt due in 2002.
In such talks, the Government sought to restructure not just debt principal,
but interest payments as well, totaling US$2.6 billion. Although the meeting
resulted in the restructuring of debt principal payments, no assurance can be
given as to Indonesia's capacity to meet its rescheduled debt payments. No
further meetings have been held since that time. Further decisions to
renegotiate existing indebtedness may affect Indonesia's sovereign credit
rating and could have an adverse impact on investor confidence in Indonesia.

  Indonesia's sovereign debt rating continues to be reviewed and revised by
  international rating agencies.

   Beginning in 1997, certain recognized statistical rating organizations,
including Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and Standard & Poor's
Rating Services ("S&P"), downgraded Indonesia's sovereign rating and the credit
ratings of various credit instruments of the Government and a large number of
Indonesian banks and other companies. As of May 30, 2003, the Government's
long-term foreign currency debt and its short-term foreign currency debt were
rated "B3" and "NP", respectively, by Moody's. As of June 5, 2003, the
Government's long-term foreign currency debt and its short-term foreign
currency debt were rated "B" and "C", respectively, by S&P. These ratings
reflect an assessment of the Government's overall ability to pay its

                                      13



obligations and its willingness to meet its financial commitments as they come
due. No assurance can be given that Moody's, S&P or any other international
credit rating agency will not downgrade the credit ratings of Indonesia or
Indonesian companies. Any such downgrade would have an adverse impact on
liquidity in the Indonesian financial markets and the ability of Indonesian
companies, including us, to raise additional financing and the interest rates
at which such additional financing is available.

  We are subject to Indonesian accounting and corporate disclosure standards
  that differ in significant respects from those applicable in other countries.

   There may be less publicly-available information about Indonesian public
companies, including us, than is regularly disclosed by public companies in
countries with more mature securities markets. Our audited consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indonesian GAAP,
which differs in certain material respects from U.S. GAAP, including accounting
for amortization of goodwill, amortization of intangible assets, capitalization
of foreign exchange losses and revenue recognition. See "Operating and
Financial Review and Prospects--Summary of Certain Material Differences between
Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP"

  We are incorporated in Indonesia, and it may not be possible for investors to
  effect service of process, including certain judgments, on us within the
  United States.

   We are a limited liability company incorporated in Indonesia, operating
within the framework of Indonesian laws relating to foreign capital invested
companies, and all of our significant assets are physically located in
Indonesia. In addition, the majority of our Commissioners and Directors reside
in Indonesia and a substantial portion of the assets of such persons is located
outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to
effect service of process, including judgments, on us or such persons within
the United States, or to enforce against us or such persons in the United
States judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal
securities laws or the securities laws of any state within the United States,
or upon other bases.

   We have been advised by our Indonesian legal advisor that judgments of
United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of the United States federal securities laws, are not enforceable in
Indonesian courts, although such judgment could be admissible as non-conclusive
evidence in a proceeding on the underlying claim in an Indonesian court. There
is doubt as to whether Indonesian courts will enter judgments in original
actions brought in Indonesian courts predicated solely upon the civil liability
provisions of the United States federal securities laws. As a result, holders
of ADSs or Common Stock would be required to pursue claims against us or such
persons in Indonesian courts.

Risks relating to Indosat and its subsidiaries

  The Government, as the majority shareholder of Indosat's major competitor
  Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) P.T. Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk. ("Telkom"),
  may give priority to Telkom's business over Indosat's.

   The Government currently owns a 15.0% equity stake and is also the holder of
the "Series A" share of Indosat, which has special voting rights and veto
rights over certain matters, including the election and removal of the
Commissioners and Directors of Indosat. At the same time, the Government also
owns a 51.2% equity stake in Telkom, which is Indosat's foremost competitor in
cellular, multimedia, data communications and internet ("MIDI") and, from
August 2003, international call services. Since the percentage of the
Government's ownership in Telkom is significantly greater than its ownership in
Indosat, no assurances can be given that all Government policies and plans will
support Indosat's business. Likewise, no assurances can be given that the
Government will treat Telkom and Indosat equally when considering future
decisions and policies.

   Besides that, the Government, through the Ministry of Communications of the
Republic of Indonesia (the "MoC"), also exercises regulatory power over the
Indonesian telecommunications industry with objectives which

                                      14



may not be consistent with the maximization of profits or the value of the ADSs
or Common Stock. Certain Government policies or objectives may have a material
adverse impact on the holders of the ADSs or Common Stock by reducing the
secondary market price of the ADSs or Common Stock.

  Our controlling shareholders' interests may differ from those of our other
  shareholders.

   In December 2002, the Government sold 41.94% of Indosat's shares to
Indonesia Communications Limited ("ICL"), a Mauritius company owned and
controlled by Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd ("STT"), a member of the
Singapore Technologies Group. The entry of ICL as the new controlling
shareholder of Indosat may have certain positive effects on the performance of
Indosat (including with respect to technology transfer and strengthening of the
capital structure of Indosat). However, no assurances can be given that ICL
will exert its influence on Indosat in a way that benefits Indosat's other
shareholders.

   Furthermore, the Government's sale to ICL has triggered several
demonstrations and protests, including a class action suit lodged by an
Indonesian non-government organization. The class action suit apparently has
the support of a number of prominent political parties and figures of
Indonesia. The class action alleges that proper government and parliamentary
approvals, as required by the Indonesian constitution, were not obtained for
the divestment of the Government's 41.9% stake of Indosat, perceived to be a
significant state asset. A Jakarta district court is currently hearing the
class action. There are only limited precedents with respect to class action
suits in Indonesia, and we are unable to assess the validity of the plaintiffs'
claims. As a result, the outcome of the case is uncertain. No assurance can be
given that this lawsuit and related demonstrations will not have a material
adverse affect on our business.

  We operate in a legal and regulatory environment that is undergoing
  significant reforms; such reforms may result in increased competition,
  reduced margins and reduced revenues, among other things, all of which may
  have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

   The regulatory reform in the Indonesian telecommunications sector, which was
initiated by the Government in the year 2000, to some extent has resulted in
the liberalization of the telecommunications industry. For instance, the
issuance of an additional international calls license to Telkom, effective
August 2003, may allow market forces to play a larger role in guiding the
development of the industry. Unfortunately, the absence of an independent
regulatory and supervisory body, which, although required under the new
Indonesian Telecommunications Law of 1999 ("Telecommunications Law"), has not
yet been established, has in some cases resulted in what we consider to be
unfair business practices within the industry, including certain network and
service providers in Indonesia apparently blocking international calls of
Indosat's customers in favor of their own services. In addition, the
inconsistent application and interpretation of many of the new regulations
necessary to implement the regulatory scheme outlined in the Telecommunications
Law has also caused significant uncertainty in the telecommunications sector in
Indonesia. No assurance can be given that future regulatory changes will not
have further material adverse effect on us. See also "Information on the
Company--Indonesian Telecommunications Industry".

   We compete principally with other nationwide telecommunications providers in
Indonesia. As the reform of the telecommunications sector continues, other
entities, potentially with greater resources than us, may enter the Indonesian
telecommunications sector and compete with us in providing telecommunications
services. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete
successfully with other domestic and foreign telecommunications companies or
that increased competition will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition or results of operations. This shift in focus by the
Government may result in increased competition that may adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations.

   In 2001, the Government, through the MoC, issued Ministerial Decree No.
4/2001 with respect to the Fundamental Technical Plan, which governs the use of
the international access codes "001" and "008" as network identifiers for
network providers. Certain telecommunications operators in Indonesia (other
than us) have recently interpreted this Ministerial Decree to mean that, with
effect from the liberalization of international

                                      15



telecommunications services in Indonesia starting August 2003, network
providers may only be able to retain the interconnection revenues, and not the
additional usage tariffs from end users, arising from international call
services. Currently, Indosat receives usage tariffs, and, depending on whether
the international call originated on another operator's fixed line, pays
interconnection revenues (see "Information on the Company--Principal Products
and Services--International calls services--Tariff structure and revenues".)
Although we disagree with, and are actively taking steps to mitigate the
possible consequences of the implementation of this new interpretation, no
assurances can be given that we will be successful in doing so. If this
interpretation is confirmed by the MoC, it may adversely affect our revenues
from our international calls services business. We are unable to ascertain the
magnitude of such adverse impact at this time.

   The early termination of incumbent monopoly rights by the Government
(international direct dial ("IDD") for Indosat; domestic fixed line for Telkom)
as a result of the implementation of the Telecommunications Law has had, and
will continue to have, a significant impact on our business. Although the
Government is in the process of finalizing compensation for both Telkom and
Indosat on the early termination, there is no guarantee that this compensation
will cover the future benefits that we had expected to enjoy under our earlier
IDD monopoly rights.

  The Government may adjust or fail to adjust tariffs resulting in an adverse
  effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

   In the absence of the independent regulatory and supervisory body required
under the Telecommunications Law, the MoC is the principal regulator of the
telecommunications industry in Indonesia and is responsible for the setting and
adjustment of tariff levels. Regulated tariffs include activation fees, monthly
fees, air time usage fees for postpaid cellular services, interconnection fees
and domestic and international long distance telephony rates. These tariff
levels are subject to periodic review and adjustment. Since a significant
portion of our revenues are dependent on tariffs fixed by the Government, any
future changes, or a lack of changes, in the Government's tariff policies could
affect our financial condition and results of operations. Prepaid cellular
services prices are regulated by reference to postpaid tariffs policies, and,
although not directly regulated by the Government, revenues from prepaid
cellular services could also be affected by future changes in the Government's
tariff policies.

   Tariff rates set by the Government may be changed in the near future due to
further deregulation of the telecommunications sector in Indonesia. Such future
changes, if they occur, may adversely affect our financial condition and
results of operations.

  We may not have the capital resources to remain competitive in the
  telecommunications industry.

   The delivery of telecommunications services is capital intensive. In order
to be competitive, we must continually expand, modernize and update our
technology, which involves substantial capital investment. Through P.T. Indosat
Multi Media Mobile ("IM3") and Satelindo, we are investing in improvements to
our cellular telecommunications infrastructure, which will require significant
capital expenditures. No assurances can be given that we will have capital
resources sufficient to develop our cellular telecommunications infrastructure
or update our other technology to the extent necessary to remain competitive in
the Indonesian telecommunications market.

  We may be unable to obtain adequate financing to fund our capital
  requirements.

   We expect that over the next several years, a substantial portion of our
cash flow will be used to pay principal and interest with respect to our
indebtedness and to finance our future capital expenditures. Our existing debt
obligations and our future capital expenditures could limit our ability to
respond to changing business or economic conditions or to respond to declines
in operating results. If we are unable to obtain adequate vendor or other third
party financing for our planned capital expenditures or otherwise fund such
expenditures through other financing arrangements, including internal cash
flows, we may have to forego, delay or postpone certain of

                                      16



our planned capital expenditures. This may prevent us from being able to
sufficiently expand and upgrade our network. As of December 31, 2002, we had
outstanding long-term indebtedness, which amount includes bonds payable but
excludes the current portion, of Rp.7,314.25 billion. Our ability to satisfy
our financial obligations and to fund our other future capital expenditures
will depend upon our future operating performance, which is subject to
prevailing economic conditions, levels of interest rates and financial,
business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

   The economic crisis in Indonesia caused a deterioration of the capital level
and capital adequacy of nearly all banks and lending institutions in Indonesia.
Increased non-performing credits and the need to increase loan loss provisions
substantially led to declines in the financial condition, results of operations
and capital adequacy of such banks, and in many cases, to the complete collapse
of such banks. Despite efforts to restructure the banking industry in
Indonesia, no assurances can be given that future bank credit will be available
to fund our operations. Due to the Asian financial crisis and other factors,
the market for Indonesian debt and equity securities has declined dramatically
over recent years. No assurances can be given that we can raise sufficient debt
or equity capital to finance our operations. Furthermore, any debt financing,
if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit our operating
flexibility with respect to certain business matters. If adequate funds are not
available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to develop or enhance our
services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive
pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
finances and results of operations.

  Satelindo's future financing efforts may be subject to certain restrictive
  covenants related to its debt restructuring, which place limitations on its
  ability to incur additional indebtedness, as well as require Satelindo to
  make mandatory prepayments of existing debt from new financing proceeds.

   Pursuant to the terms of its debt restructuring, Satelindo may only issue
new debt obligations, which are subordinated to the prior restructured
indebtedness. Seventy-five percent of any additional indebtedness must be used
to prepay the restructured indebtedness. Equity financings are subject to the
same prepayment obligations. According to the terms of Satelindo's debt
restructuring, it must use a portion of the net proceeds of equity offerings to
prepay a certain amount of its outstanding indebtedness. Satelindo's prepayment
obligations vary depending on the size of the offerings. Satelindo must prepay
an amount equal to: (i) 75% of any amount of net proceeds less than US$100
million; (ii) in the case of net proceeds equal to or greater than US$100
million, US$75 million plus 50% of any amount of net proceeds in excess of
US$100 million but less than US$200 million; or (iii) in the case of net
proceeds equal to or greater than US$200 million, US$125 million plus 33% of
any amount of net proceeds in excess of US$200 million. See also "Information
on the Company--Principal Indebtedness--Satelindo".

  We rely on key management personnel and our financial condition and results
  of operations may be adversely affected by an inability to recruit, train,
  retain and motivate key employees.

   We believe that Indosat's current management team, as well as the management
teams in place at Indosat's subsidiaries, contribute significant experience and
expertise to the management of the respective entities. The continued success
of our business and our ability to execute our business strategy in the future
will depend in large part on the efforts of such key personnel. There is a
shortage of skilled personnel in the telecommunications sector in Indonesia and
this shortage is likely to continue. As a result, competition for certain
specialist personnel is intense.

   As a significant shareholder of Indosat, STT (through ICL) has seconded key
management personnel to Indosat. If any key members of management, at Indosat
or any of its subsidiaries, become unable or unwilling to continue in their
roles, and we are unable to attract or promote and retain other qualified
executives, our business may be adversely affected. No assurances can be given
that we will be able to successfully recruit, train, retain and motivate key
employees.

                                      17



  We may be unable to implement the technological changes necessary to remain
  competitive.

   The telecommunications industry is subject to rapid and significant changes
in technology. We may face increasing competition from technologies currently
being developed or which may be developed in the future (for example, with
respect to our cellular services, Code Division Multiple Access ("CDMA")
technology, and with respect to our international calls services and VoIP
technology). New technologies, services or standards could require significant
changes to our business model, the development of new products or the provision
of additional services. In addition, we may need to substantially update and
expand our billing and credit control systems to accommodate growth in and
development of our business (including, for example, the possible merger of
Satelindo and IM3 into Indosat) and the adoption of new technologies and
services. New products and services may be expensive to develop and may result
in the introduction of additional competitors into the marketplace. No
assurances can be given that our technologies will not become obsolete, or be
subjected to competition from new technologies in the future, or that we will
be able to acquire new technologies on reasonable terms necessary to compete in
changed circumstances.

  Certain operating risks may adversely affect our financial results of
  operations.

   The operation of our domestic and international call services could be
adversely affected by events such as the breakdown of equipment, difficulties
or delays in obtaining imported spare parts and equipment, labor disputes,
fire, natural disasters, industrial accidents, political insurrection or armed
conflict and the need to comply with Government directives. We do not maintain
insurance against all of these adverse events, and no assurance can be given
that such adverse events will not happen, that our insurance will be adequate
to cover any losses or liabilities resulting therefrom or that such occurrence
would not adversely affect our business or results of operations. In addition,
our telecommunications control facilities are highly concentrated, with Indosat
and Satelindo having their headquarters and principal operating facilities at
two sites located in Jakarta. Adverse developments affecting these sites could
have a material adverse effect on us.

   Any failure of our network, our servers, or any link in the transmission
chain that results in an interruption in our operations or the provision of any
service, whether from operational disruption, natural disaster or otherwise,
could damage our ability to attract and retain subscribers and adversely affect
our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

  The merger of Indosat, Satelindo and IM3 may not be implemented or,
  otherwise, its result may not be in line with our plan.

   We have recently announced that we are considering merging Satelindo and IM3
into Indosat, with the main purpose of gaining operating efficiencies based on
our new strategy of becoming a cellular-focused, fully integrated
telecommunications network and service provider. There is a possibility that we
may have difficulties in implementing the merger plan if, for instance, our
creditors raise objections to such plan or we encounter technical hurdles (such
as integrating Satelindo and IM3's cellular networks and unifying our
information systems, such as billing statements and other IT systems). In
contrast, if we can implement our merger plan, there is also a possibility that
future cost efficiencies and our other goals of such merger plan may not be
achieved.

  Holders of the ADSs and Common Stock may not be able to assert claims against
  Prasetio Utomo & Co., our independent auditors for the year ended December
  31, 2001, nor may they be able to assert claims against our current
  independent auditors for financial statements previously audited by Prasetio
  Utomo & Co.

   Our consolidated financial statements (other than with respect to Satelindo)
for the year ended December 31, 2001 were audited by Prasetio Utomo & Co., then
the Indonesian member firm of Andersen Worldwide, SC, which issued a publicly
available audit report expressing its unqualified opinion with respect thereto.
On June 15, 2002, Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen"), which is the U.S.
member firm of Andersen Worldwide, SC was convicted of federal obstruction of
justice charges in connection with the U.S. government's investigation of Enron
Corporation. On August 31, 2002, Arthur Andersen voluntarily relinquished its
licenses to practice public

                                      18



accountancy in all states of the United States, thereby effectively ceasing to
exist as a global accounting firm. The Indonesian Ministry of Finance withdrew
the business license of Prasetio Utomo & Co. in August 2002, and Prasetio Utomo
& Co. no longer operates as a public accounting firm. Accordingly, it may be
difficult or impossible for holders of the ADSs or Common Stock to assert any
claims against, or recover any damages from, Prasetio Utomo & Co. in respect of
this annual report, including in respect of the financial statements previously
audited by Prasetio Utomo & Co. that are included in this annual report.
Moreover, our current independent public accountants, Prasetio, Sarwoko &
Sandjaja, the Indonesian member firm of Ernst & Young, Global have not
re-audited the financial statements previously audited by Arthur Andersen.
Therefore, it is highly unlikely that holders of the ADSs or Common Stock will
be able to assert claims against, or recover any damages from, Prasetio,
Sarwoko & Sandjaja or Ernst & Young Global in respect of the financial
statements that were previously audited by Prasetio Utomo & Co. and included in
this annual report. Additionally, we have not requested our current auditors to
re-audit our consolidated and combined financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2001 and cannot assure holders of the ADSs or Common Stock that a
re-audit by our current auditors would not have resulted in a restatement or
uncovered an untrue statement of material fact or an omission to state a
material fact in such financial statements.

  We may conduct a future rights offering that may not be open to U.S. holders
  of ADSs, thereby diluting such investors' current ownership position.

   Under applicable provisions of Indonesian company law and our Articles of
Association, holders of Common Stock are entitled to certain preemptive rights
to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of shares to maintain their
existing ownership percentages in connection with the issuance of any new
equity shares. Holders of ADSs may be unable to exercise preemptive rights for
equity shares underlying ADSs unless a registration statement under the
Securities Act is effective with respect to such rights or an exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. We are not
obligated to prepare and file such a registration statement, and our decision
to do so will depend on the costs and potential liabilities associated with any
such registration statement, as well as the perceived benefits of enabling the
holders of ADSs to exercise their preemptive rights and any other factors we
consider appropriate at the time. No assurance can be given that we would file
a registration statement under these circumstances. Accordingly, current
shareholders, possibly other than U.S. holders of ADSs, may be given rights to
subscribe for the new Common Stock. If such rights are not offered to certain
shareholders, their ownership may be diluted by the rights issue.

Risks relating to our cellular business

  Competition from well-established Indonesian telecommunications industry
  incumbents may adversely affect our cellular businesses' margins, results of
  operations and financial condition.

   Our cellular businesses compete primarily against P.T. Telekomunikasi
Selular ("Telkomsel") and P.T. Excelcomindo Pratama ("Excelcomindo"). Telkomsel
is predominantly owned by Telkom, an Indonesian

                                      19



telecommunications industry incumbent, and Singapore Telecommunications
Limited, one of the largest telecommunications providers in the Asia Pacific
region. This shareholding combination creates financial and operational
resources which are significantly greater than ours. On the other hand,
Excelcomindo, a joint venture between Indonesia's Rajawali Group and Verizon,
also has substantial resources. We anticipate significant competition from
Telkomsel and Excelcomindo, either of which has the resources to gain market
share at our expense. There are also several other service operators that
provide mobile cellular telecommunications services in Indonesia. Competition
between our cellular businesses and these operators is based on various
factors, such as the pricing of services, network quality and coverage, range
of services offered and customer service. In addition to the current operators,
the MoC may license additional mobile cellular telecommunications service
operators in the future and such new licensees may compete with us.

  Telkom introduced CDMA 2001.x Fixed Wireless Service in May 2003 in the
  Jakarta area, and certain customers may find this service competitive in
  price and comparable in service with cellular, which may affect our cellular
  business.

   In May 2003, Telkom introduced TelkomFlexi, a CDMA 2001.x service in the
Jakarta area. This service is offered as a fixed wireless service but having
similar mobility and features with those found in cellular services. Telkom has
announced that it intends to apply local telephone tariffs for this service,
which are substantially lower than those for cellular services. The Cellular
Operator Association (Asosiasi Penyelenggara Telekomunikasi Seluler--ATSI) has
asked the regulator to impose a regulation that limits the mobility of this
service. However, it is not yet clear whether the regulator will impose any
restrictive regulations on the mobility of this service. The introduction and
availability of fixed wireless services and other similar technologies may
adversely affect our revenue from cellular services.

  The number of our subscribers may be increasing, however, it may not have any
  impact to our revenue.

   In view of our past experience, we expect that we will have a continuously
increasing number of subscribers in the future. However, considering that there
is still an uncertain economic situation in Indonesia, including, for example,
the increasing prices of primary goods, which will substantially affect our
customers' purchasing power, we cannot predict whether or not such increasing
number of subscribers may positively affect our revenues. We believe that there
is no positive correlation between the number of subscribers and the average
revenue per user ("ARPU") or, in general, our net revenue.

  Cellular network congestion and limited spectrum availability could limit
  subscriber and revenue growth.

   The amount of spectrum available for use by a cellular system effectively
limits its subscriber capacity. Satelindo's GSM cellular service operates using
15 MHz of bandwidth, comprised of 10 MHz in the GSM 900 MHz spectrum and 5 MHz
in the GSM 1800 MHz spectrum, and IM3's GSM cellular service operates using 15
MHz in the GSM 1800 MHz spectrum. The greater Jakarta region contains the bulk
of our subscribers, and usage tends to be concentrated in a limited geographic
area. As a result, in central Jakarta, our network is often operating at or
near capacity, causing congestion and reduced service quality. However, the
development of the cellular network is dependent upon many factors, including
but not limited to capital resource limitations and technological developments,
and accordingly no assurance can be given that we will be able to develop
effectively the cellular network and increase system capacity. Congestion that
reduces service quality may result in limitations on subscriber and revenue
growth.

  If the Government allocates additional spectrum or reallocates existing
  spectrum, additional competitors may enter the cellular service market, which
  may adversely affect our cellular businesses' margins, results of operations
  and financial condition.

   Although the MoC has allocated all available 900 and 1800 GSM cellular
spectrum, no assurances can be given that additional spectrum will not become
available in the future or that the Government will not reallocate

                                      20



existing spectrum. To the extent our current or future competitors in GSM
cellular services obtain additional spectrum, our competitive position,
business margins, results of operations and financial condition could be
adversely affected.

  We depend on the domestic telephone networks and such reliance may decrease
  the performance of our cellular network, resulting in substandard network
  performance and over-capacity issues that we may be unable to resolve.

   We depend on access to the public switched telephone network ("PSTN") for
termination and origination of cellular telephone calls to and from fixed line
telephones. A large percentage of our cellular call traffic must go through the
PSTN. Satelindo's business has been negatively affected by the limited
interconnection facilities to the PSTN that have been provided to date and
Satelindo's and IM3's businesses may be negatively affected by such causes in
the future. Because of interconnection capacity constraints, our cellular
customers have at times experienced high levels of blocked calls. We are
working to increase the number and capacity of interconnection points to
alleviate these problems, but no assurances can be given that such
interconnection points can be increased or maintained at current levels.

  If we expand our cellular network as anticipated, we may experience a
  significant increase in cellular subscribers, and no assurances can be given
  that we will be able to integrate the additional subscribers successfully.

   Our growth plans anticipate substantial expansion of both IM3's and
Satelindo's cellular networks and an accompanying increase in cellular
subscribers. No assurances can be given that such expansion plans will
materialize or, if they do materialize, that either company will be able to
integrate additional subscribers successfully. Failure to activate new
subscribers and scale existing operational units to handle such increased usage
may result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results
of operations.

  We rely on three equipment vendors for the supply and maintenance of our
  cellular networks, and no assurances can be given that such vendors will be
  able to maintain our cellular networks.

   We rely upon Alcatel, Siemens and Ericsson to supply a substantial portion
of the equipment required for our cellular networks, including the microwave
backbone. We depend on equipment and services from these vendors to maintain
and replace key components of our cellular networks. Delays in maintenance or
sourcing replacement equipment for our cellular networks could adversely affect
the performance of our cellular networks or our ability to provide service to
our cellular subscribers.

Risks relating to our international call services business

  Indosat and Satelindo depend on the PSTN and other cellular providers'
  networks and such reliance may affect negatively the performance of their IDD
  services, resulting in substandard performance issues that we may be unable
  to resolve.

   All switched calls carried by Indosat and Satelindo either originate or
terminate on Telkom's domestic telephone network or other cellular operator's
network, which we do not control. Demand for our international services will
depend, to a significant degree, on the development, quality and maintenance of
Indonesia's domestic telephone network.

  The entry of Telkom, a well-established Indonesian telecommunications
  industry incumbent, into the international business would adversely effect
  Indosat's and Satelindo's international business margins, results of
  operations and financial condition.

   Telkom, a well-established Indonesian telecommunications incumbent with
significant political and financial resources, announced that it will enter the
IDD market in August 2003 after liberalization of the

                                      21



telecommunications sector. Telkom's entry into the IDD market would pose a
significant competitive threat to us. If Telkom enters the IDD market, Indosat
and Satelindo would likely suffer loss of market share, declining margins and
revenues and other adverse effects on the financial condition of their
international businesses.

  Interconnection revenues from foreign telecommunications carriers may be
  unreliable, and Indosat and Satelindo may not receive all monies due in
  connection with provision of their international call services.

   A significant portion of our revenues from international call services
consists of amounts received from foreign telecommunications operators for
handling incoming calls to Indonesia. Such operators may not make these
interconnection payments to us promptly when such payments become due and
payable. Further, adverse economic conditions at such operators in other
countries may adversely affect such operators' ability to make interconnection
payments to us in a timely manner or at all.

  A decrease in applicable accounting rates may adversely affect our
  interconnection revenues.

   Telecommunications providers make interconnection settlements based on
established accounting rates. The accounting rates are based on agreements
between such providers. These agreements are subject to periodic renegotiations
and, in recent years, certain foreign telecommunications carriers have been
seeking reductions in accounting rates. Pursuant to a decision of the MoC,
Indosat is the designated administrative party to act on behalf of the MoC in
accounting rate renegotiations. International accounting rates have been
decreasing in recent years, and we expect that they will continue to decrease
in the future. Any reduction in rates may result in reduced interconnection
revenues on incoming calls.

  VoIP usage is increasing and certain customers use VoIP services rather than
  traditional international long distance services.

   Worldwide and Indonesian trends indicate increased usage of VoIP services
and a corresponding decrease in the usage of traditional international long
distance services. The cost structure for providers of VoIP services is lower
than for traditional fixed line operators and as such, VoIP services are
customarily offered at significant cost savings compared to traditional
international long distance services. Availability of VoIP services may
adversely impact Indosat's and Satelindo's revenues from its IDD operations.

  The unfavorable economic and political situation in Indonesia may adversely
  affect the levels of international business activity in the country and other
  factors which may in turn have a negative effect on our international
  business revenues.

   Our international call services business is affected by the levels of
international business activity and tourism in Indonesia, international
accounting rates, tariffs for international calls, fluctuation in the exchange
rate of the Rupiah against the U.S. dollar and compensation to
telecommunications carriers and service providers. The continued unfavorable
economic and political situation in Indonesia may affect the growth of foreign
investment in Indonesia, which indirectly affects the demand for international
calls.

Risks related to our MIDI business

  Competition for the MIDI business is increasing, and we may experience
  declining margins.

   Our MIDI business is facing increased competition from new market entrants
providing data communications and multimedia and established market
participants, such as Telkom, which have wider customer bases. Moreover,
Satelindo's satellite business faces increasing competition as new, more
powerful satellites are prepared for launch and as companies acquire exclusive
licenses to provide certain broadcast services in Indonesia, including
Indovision's recent acquisition of an exclusive license to provide DTH
television services. In some cases, Satelindo has leases in effect for the
transponder space on its Palapa-C2 satellite for

                                      22



periods of only two to five years, while the remaining useful life of the
satellite is estimated to be approximately nine years. As additional competing
satellites are launched and become operational, and as Satelindo's transponder
leases expire or are terminated, Satelindo's transponder lessees may utilize
other satellites.

  We depend on the domestic telephone networks to provide services directly to
  customers, and such reliance may decrease the performance of our networks or
  our ability to provide services at all.

   We depend on access to the PSTN for termination and origination of MIDI
services delivered to and from fixed line locations. A large portion of our
MIDI services traffic must go through the PSTN. Currently, we have limited
local access to customers and rely on other companies, such as Telkom. If we
fail to deploy our own local access solutions or experience delays in deploying
such access, our MIDI business may be negatively affected.

  Satelindo's satellite business has a limited life and substantial risk exists
  for Palapa-C2 to be damaged or completely destroyed during operation.
  Satellite loss or reduced performance may adversely affect our financial
  condition, results of operations and ability to provide certain services.

   The Palapa-C2 satellite has a limited operational life, which is presently
estimated to end in early 2011. A number of factors affect the operational
lives of satellites, including the quality of their construction, the
durability of their component parts, the amount of fuel on board, the launch
vehicle used and the manner in which the satellite is monitored and operated.
The satellite could fail before the end of its useful life, and repairing GEO
satellites such as the Palapa-C2 satellite while in orbit is not feasible.

   Satelindo currently maintains in-orbit insurance covering the loss of the
Palapa-C2 satellite, providing for payments of US$150 million in the event of a
total loss of the satellite. Because Palapa-C2 is of a class of satellite,
which has been identified as prone to failure of the satellite control
processor ("SCP"), Satelindo's satellite insurance does not cover satellite
malfunction caused by failure of the SCP.

   Satelindo's creditors have a lien on the insurance policy taken out in
respect of the Palapa-C2 satellite and any proceeds therefrom. If the Palapa-C2
satellite suffers damage or fails and such damage or failure results in the
collection of insurance proceeds, Satelindo's creditors would likely enforce
their lien. If the damage or failure rendered Palapa-C2 unfit for future use,
Satelindo may cease its satellite operations. The termination of Satelindo's
satellite business may have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.

Item 4:  INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

Overview

   We are currently the second largest Indonesian mobile cellular operator, as
measured by subscribers, and the primary provider of international
telecommunications services in Indonesia. We also provide MIDI services to
Indonesian and regional users. For the year ended December 31, 2001, revenues
from our international calls segment gave the highest contribution to our
business, consistent with prior years. However, in 2002, as a result of an
increased focus on our cellular business, our cellular segment was our most
significant contributor to total revenues, contributing 48.3%. International
calls, MIDI, and other services contributed 31.6%, 18.7% and 1.4%,
respectively, in 2002.

   Our principal services are:

   .   Cellular.  We provide GSM 900 and 1800 cellular services through
       Satelindo and GSM 1800 services through IM3. We recorded consolidated
       cellular services revenues of Rp. 3,271.7 billion in 2002.

   .   International calls.  We provide IDD and other international call
       services through Indosat and Satelindo. Our consolidated international
       long distance revenues in 2002 were Rp. 2,137.9 billion; and

                                      23



   .   MIDI.  We provide MIDI services through Indosat, Satelindo and
       Lintasarta. Our consolidated MIDI revenues in 2002 were Rp. 1,263.0
       billion.

   Prior to 2002, our primary business has been providing international call
services, which accounted for approximately 73.0% of our revenues in 2000.
Following changes in the Indonesian telecommunications regulatory structure in
1999, we began implementing a strategy intended to transform us from an
international long distance service provider into a fully-integrated
telecommunications network and services provider. In May 2001, Indosat acquired
a 67.5% equity interest in Satelindo, increasing Indosat's interest in
Satelindo to 75.0%, and we became the second largest provider of cellular
services in Indonesia. Satelindo also provides satellite services and
international call services, which complement and enhance Indosat's
international and MIDI services. In May 2001, Indosat also acquired an
additional 37.2% interest (on a diluted basis) in Lintasarta, a leading
Indonesian data services provider, giving Indosat an effective interest of
69.5%. In 2001, Indosat also established IM3 as a subsidiary of Indosat to
provide GSM 1800 cellular services.

   In June 2002, Indosat acquired the remaining 25.0% of Satelindo from DeTe
Asia. By this acquisition, Indosat owns, directly and indirectly, 100.0% of the
shares of Satelindo, thereby consolidating Indosat's position as a
cellular-focused, fully-integrated telecommunications network and service
provider in Indonesia. We expect that cellular revenues will account for an
increasing percentage of total revenues in 2003 and thereafter and that
international call services revenues will decrease as a percentage of total
revenues.

History

   Indosat, or P.T. Indonesian Satellite Corporation Tbk, was established in
1967 as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of International Telephone and
Telegraph Corporation ("ITT") and was selected by the Government to build,
transfer and operate an International Telecommunications Satellite Organization
("Intelsat") earth station in Indonesia to access Intelsat's Indian Ocean
Region ("IOR") satellites for a period of 20 years. Intelsat is a world-wide
consortium of global international satellite communications organizations,
which owns and operates a number of telecommunications satellites.

   Indosat began commercial operations in September 1969. In 1979, Indosat
completed a second Intelsat earth station, which provided access to Intelsat's
Pacific Ocean Region ("POR") satellites.

   In 1980, ITT sold Indosat to the Government for approximately US$43.8
million. After the sale, Indosat became a persero, or state-owned limited
liability corporation domiciled in Indonesia, and the sole provider of
international telecommunications services in Indonesia. At that time, the
Government transferred its ownership in Indosat's facilities to Indosat.

   In 1983, Indosat introduced IDD services, later expanding its operations by
opening gateways in Medan in 1985, Batam in 1992 and Surabaya in 1995.

   Indosat has been the Indonesian representative for Intelsat since 1985 and
for Inmarsat since 1986. Inmarsat is a worldwide consortium of global
international satellites for mobile communications. Inmarsat was privatized in
April 1999, and Intelsat was privatized in July 2000. After both institutions
were privatized, Indosat lost its exclusivity rights in the institutions.

   In October 1994, Indosat completed an initial global public offering of
shares ("Initial Public Offering"). Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering,
Indosat sold 103,550,000 Series B shares to the public in Indonesia, and the
Government sold 258,875,000 Series B shares, represented by 25,887,500 ADSs, to
non-Indonesian persons located outside Indonesia. The Series B shares began
trading on the Jakarta Stock Exchange ("JSX") and the Surabaya Stock Exchange
("SSX") on October 19, 1994. The ADSs began trading on the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") on October 18, 1994.

                                      24



   Indosat was directly affected by the Telecommunications Law, which became
effective on September 8, 2000. The Telecommunications Law provides guidelines
for industry reform, including industry liberalization, and facilitates new
entrants and enhanced competition. The reforms require removal of monopolistic
controls to encourage a competitive environment and to eliminate discriminatory
and restrictive practices. These reforms were introduced pursuant to the
Government's letter of intent with the IMF relating to the Indonesian Economic
Recovery Program. In 2001, as part of the Government's initiative to
restructure the Indonesian telecommunications sector, Indosat and Telkom
concluded an agreement eliminating their respective cross-shareholdings in
several telecommunications operating subsidiaries. The salient parts of this
agreement include:

   .   Indosat acquiring Telkom's 22.5% interest in Satelindo for approximately
       US$186 million;

   .   Telkom acquiring Indosat's 35.0% interest in Telkomsel for approximately
       US$945 million; and

   .   Indosat acquiring Telkom's 37.2% interest in Lintasarta, as well as
       Lintasarta's convertible bonds held by Telkom, for an aggregate
       consideration of approximately US$38 million and Rp. 4.1 billion.

   After the agreement with Telkom, Indosat acquired an effective 45.0%
interest in Satelindo, through its acquisition of P.T. Bimagraha Telekomindo
("Bimagraha"), for approximately US$372 million. In June 2002, Indosat acquired
a further 25% interest in Satelindo from DeTe Asia for approximately US$325
million. Upon completion of the transaction with DeTe Asia, Indosat effectively
owned 100% of Satelindo. Further, Indosat injected additional capital amounting
to US$75 million into Satelindo. The purpose of this additional capital
injection was to strengthen Satelindo's capital structure and remove certain
restrictive covenants arising from Satelindo's indebtedness.

   In August 2002, Indosat commenced its entry into domestic telecommunications
service through the award of a license to provide local fixed network services
in the Jakarta and Surabaya areas. Indosat deployed around 13,000 lines in
those areas to provide its local fixed telephone services. At the same time,
Indosat also announced its strategic objective of becoming a cellular-focused,
fully integrated telecommunications network and service provider, through a
transformation process which involves creating and benefiting from synergies
between Satelindo and IM3, as well as considering various scenarios for the
legal merger of Satelindo and IM3 into Indosat. Indosat has recently appointed
Hay Group/AT Kearney as its strategic management consultant and ING as its
financial adviser to advise Indosat with respect to this possible merger.

   In November 2002, Indosat successfully completed the offering of the Indosat
Bond II and Indosat Islamic Revenue Sharing Bond with an aggregate principal
amount Rp. 1,250.0 billion. The bonds were listed and started trading on the
SSX on November 8, 2002.

   In 2002, the Government, acting through the Ministry of State-Owned
Enterprises, divested 517.5 million shares (representing approximately 50% of
Indosat's shares) in two stages. In May 2002, the Government sold 8.1% of
Indosat's shares through an accelerated global tender. In December 2002, the
Government divested an additional 41.94% of Indosat's shares to STT acting
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ICL (see "Major Shareholders"). As a
result of these transactions, the Government now owns 15% of the shares of
common stock of Indosat, as well as the Series A special share. ICL owns 41.94%
of Indosat's shares, while the remaining 43.06% of Indosat's shares are owned
by the public shareholders.

   In February 2003, Indosat received approval from Indonesia's Investment
Coordinating Board (BKPM) for the change of its legal status, from a
State-owned Company (persero) to a Foreign Investment Company (PMA).
Subsequently, in March 21, 2003, Indosat received approval from the Minister of
Justice and Human Rights on the amendment of its Articles of Association to
reflect this change in legal status (see "Additional Information--Description
of Articles of Association and Capital Stock"). Under Indonesian law there are
no significant differences of rights and obligations between a PMA company and
a Domestic Investment Company (PMDN).

   Indosat announced in April 2003 that, following a selection and evaluation
process, Indosat selected Mega Asia Consortium as Indosat's partner for a new
Indosat Partnership Program. Indosat signed an initial Heads of

                                      25



Agreement with Mega Asia Consortium in the same month. A build and operate
agreement is being negotiated and has not yet been finalized. Once finalized,
Indosat expects to begin preparations for the construction with Mega Asia
Consortium of approximately 700,000 fixed wireless lines in Jakarta and
Surabaya over an estimated period of three years.

   To our knowledge, since January 1, 2002, there have not been any public
takeover offers by third parties in respect of Indosat's shares, nor have we
made any public takeover offers in respect of other companies' shares.

Business Strategy

   Until 2001, most of our revenues had been generated by the provision of
basic voice telecommunications services to customers making and receiving
international calls. In recent years, competition in the Indonesian
telecommunications industry has increased significantly as regulatory changes
encouraged new operators to enter the market. See "--Regulation". Meanwhile,
technology advancements and market developments, characterized by an increasing
demand for mobile services and the convergence of technologies, such as between
fixed line and wireless and between data and voice, have accelerated such
changes.

   Due to this rapidly changing and increasingly-competitive operating
environment, we began to transform our business in 2001 with the aim of
becoming a cellular-focused, fully-integrated telecommunications network and
service provider, primarily through the acquisition of Satelindo. Satelindo is
the second largest mobile cellular provider in Indonesia with around 3.1
million subscribers as of December 31, 2002.

   In addition to that, we also established IM3 to provide GSM 1800 mobile
cellular services. Indosat now holds 99.94% of the shares of IM3, and Indosat
spent approximately Rp. 1.7 trillion to establish and commence IM3's services
in the third quarter of 2001 in nine big cities in Indonesia. As of December
31, 2002, IM3 had more than 0.5 million subscribers, making it the fourth
largest mobile cellular provider in Indonesia.

   To enhance Indosat's competitive strength and to accomplish our
transformation objectives, we intend to:

   .   Concentrate on cellular growth.  We plan to integrate and further
       develop our cellular services business to capture the growing value of
       cellular business in Indonesia.

   .   Maintain international calls business and selectively deploy fixed
       networks.  To maintain our existing IDD market share, we plan to develop
       retention programs and new points of service differentiations vis-a-vis
       the very competitive IDD market. Selective deployment of fixed networks
       will also be used to defend IDD market share, as well as to selectively
       enter the domestic telecommunications service.

   .   Nurture MIDI growth.  We plan to maximize the synergy of MIDI business
       within the Indosat group. Indosat, together with Satelindo, Lintasarta,
       and P.T. Indosat Mega Media ("IMM") intend to expand upon a widening
       range of multi-media, data and Internet services including high-speed
       point-to-point leased line, packet-switched data network ("PSDN"),
       digital data network, frame relay, Internet and satellite services.

   .   Enhance and leverage combined strengths.  In order to use all portions
       of our network efficiently and to offer integrated telecommunications
       services, we intend to have an integrated platform based on Internet
       Protocol ("IP"). We intend to enhance and leverage our infrastructure to
       carry voice and data traffic generated by our mobile and international
       calls business, as well as traffic generated by our other principal
       business lines. We expect that joint network planning, product
       rationalization, aggregation of procurement and increased network usage
       will optimize returns and create cost efficiencies.

   Simply put, our strategy is to operate and expand our three principal
business lines--cellular, international telecommunications, and MIDI
services--across a common network system, and to integrate the network and our
services through the use of a common platform. We believe that our strategy
will assist us to secure our position in the increasingly competitive
Indonesian telecommunications marketplace.

                                      26



Principal Products and Services

   Our principal products and services follow our three lines of business:
cellular, international calls and MIDI services. Traditionally, our core
business and largest revenue component has been international calls services.
However, since we entered the Indonesian cellular market through our
acquisition of Satelindo and establishment of IM3, cellular services have
become a significant revenue component for us. In 2001, cellular services were
the second largest contributor to total operating revenues, and it became the
largest contributor in 2002, due to the 85% growth in cellular revenue.

   The table below shows the breakdown of our total consolidated operating
revenues for each of the years indicated and the percentage contribution of
each revenue component to the total:

  Cellular services

   We provide cellular services through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Satelindo
and 99.94% owned subsidiary, IM3. Cellular services contributed Rp. 3,271.6
billion in 2002, representing 48.3% of our 2002 total consolidated operating
revenues.

   As of December 31, 2002, Satelindo was the second largest cellular provider
in Indonesia, as measured by subscribers, with approximately 3.1 million
subscribers. This represents an estimated 27.1% market share of the cellular
market, based on our estimates from available market data. Satelindo's cellular
network currently covers all major cities in the populated areas of Java and
Bali, as well as major cities in Sumatra, Sulawesi and Kalimantan. Satelindo
provides GSM 900 and GSM 1800 technology.

   IM3 commenced operations in August 2001. At that time, it was the first
company in Indonesia providing GSM 1800 technology. As of December 31, 2002,
IM3 had approximately 0.5 million customers, representing an estimated 4.5%
market share of cellular market, based on our estimates from available market
data. IM3's cellular network covers nine of the largest cities in Indonesia,
including Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Solo, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Malang,
Denpasar and Batam.

   We currently plan to integrate the cellular business of Satelindo and IM3.
In working towards network integration, by the end of 2002 IM3 had implemented
national roaming on Satelindo's network throughout Indonesia for IM3's postpaid
and prepaid subscribers. Satelindo and IM3 had also co-located certain base
stations, thereby reducing operating costs. Moving forward, we plan to continue
to further integrate Satelindo's and IM3's networks through equipment and
vendor compatibility.

  Services

   Our principal cellular service is the provision of airtime or usage. Airtime
or usage is sold under postpaid and prepaid plans. Apart from the timing of
payments, the principal difference between postpaid and prepaid airtime plans
is the tariff structure, with prepaid subscribers subject to higher tariffs due
to the lack of monthly subscription fees. Satelindo's postpaid plans are
offered under the brand names Matrix and Mitra. Matrix is a

                                      27



basic service package with a postpaid payment plan. In order to serve our
corporate customers and offer more value to our customers, we also offer Matrix
in program packages, namely Mitra (Corporate Package) and Matrix F2 (Family and
Friends). Satelindo's prepaid plans are offered under the brand names Mentari
and Mentari Plus. Mentari offers the advantage of free national roaming. IM3
markets its postpaid airtime packages under the brand name Bright, and its
prepaid airtime packages under the brand name Smart.

   Postpaid and prepaid customers of Satelindo and IM3 have access to local,
domestic long distance ("DLD") and international direct long distance dialing.
In addition, Satelindo and IM3 offer a variety of additional, value-added
services, functions and features for their respective subscribers, depending on
the airtime package purchased, including:

   .   SMS--short text messaging service, which allows users to send text
       messages to other users' handphone display screens and, since July 2001,
       to send such messages to subscribers of other telecommunication
       providers;

   .   Mobile data and facsimile services--services, which allow users to
       download content on a variety of subjects including sports, news and
       finance to their mobile phones, as well as to send and receive faxes;

   .   Voicemail--a standard voicemail service that enables callers to leave
       and users to retrieve voice messages;

   .   Caller line identification--a caller identification service that
       displays the incoming call number on a user's mobile phone display
       screen;

   .   Call holding--a standard call holding feature that allows users to place
       an incoming or outgoing call on hold in order to make or receive other
       calls;

   .   Call waiting--a feature that signals users of another incoming call when
       their lines are engaged. Upon hearing such a signal, users can answer
       the second call if they wish, thereby placing the original call on hold;

   .   Call forwarding--a service that enables users to forward incoming calls
       to other cellular or fixed line numbers;

   .   Detailed billing--a service that provides customers with more detailed
       billing statements indicating the duration and cost of all calls to and
       from a particular mobile phone;

   .   Direct debit payment--a payment option that automatically deducts billed
       amounts from the relevant users' bank accounts and credit cards;

   .   Top up via SMS and Asynchronous Transfer Mode ("ATM")--a voucher
       recharge via ATM or SMS that automatically deducts billed amounts from
       the relevant users' bank accounts; and

   .   International roaming--a service that allows prepaid and postpaid
       customers to have access (SMS and voice) while roaming in foreign
       networks.

   Mobile data and facsimile, voicemail, call holding/waiting/forwarding,
detailed billing and direct debit payments are services, which are only
available to postpaid subscribers. Other value-added services include call
barring, conference calls, circuit-switched data, multimedia messaging services
and general packet radio services ("GPRS"). These services and features are
designed to attract and retain subscribers. Some of these services are offered
free of charge while others, such as SMS, mobile data and facsimile services
and detailed billing, require additional fees and are intended to increase
revenue per subscriber. Satelindo introduced its SMS service to postpaid
cellular subscribers in 1995 and extended the service to prepaid subscribers in
May 2000. Usage levels have risen consistently, from approximately 319,000 text
messages per day for Satelindo in June 2000 to approximately 7.4 million text
messages per day in December 2002. IM3 recorded an average of approximately
850,000 text messages per day throughout 2002. In 2002, SMS usage accounted for
substantially all of Satelindo's revenues from value-added cellular services.
We believe that increasing SMS usage may have a negative impact on revenues
from traditional voice services, although the magnitude of this impact is
uncertain.

                                      28



   Satelindo launched its portfolio of mobile data services in 2000 under the
brand name Satelindo @ccess. Mobile data services can be accessed over SMS or
through a direct dial-up connection to a wireless application protocol ("WAP")
server. Users are able to access a variety of information, including movie
listings, stock quotes, exchange rates, sports and business news, astrological
predictions and SMS Top Up. Satelindo @ccess subscribers can also send and
receive e-mail. We expect that Satelindo will offer mobile financial
transaction services in 2003.

   In 2002, IM3 launched a similar portfolio of mobile data services under the
name of M3-Access. These services can also be accessed via SMS (like
info-on-demand SMS) or through a direct dial-up connection to a WAP server.
Through this service a variety of information can be downloaded, such as movie
schedules, exchange rates, horoscopes, sports, business and technological news,
both international and domestic. In 2002, IM3 also launched mobile banking
services in cooperation with P.T. Bank Mandiri (Persero) ("Bank Mandiri"), one
of the largest banks in Indonesia. IM3 also launched MMS (multimedia messaging
service), a service by which customers can send not only text, but also
pictures, video and voice.

   Each of Satelindo and IM3 have entered into interconnection agreements,
which allow their cellular networks to interconnect with the PSTN operated by
Telkom, the international gateways operated by Indosat and Satelindo and the
networks of each of the other Indonesian cellular and fixed wireless operators.
These agreements allow their cellular subscribers to communicate with customers
of such other telecommunications service providers.

   Satelindo and IM3 offer roaming services to their customers, which allow
them to make and receive calls and send and receive SMS text messages when
outside Indonesia. Satelindo has entered into roaming agreements with operators
of GSM cellular networks in Africa, Europe, North and South America and other
Asian countries and regions. As of December 31, 2002, Satelindo's postpaid
cellular subscribers were able to roam internationally on 199 networks in 94
countries, making Satelindo the largest international roaming operator in
Indonesia.

   As of December 2002, IM3 postpaid subscribers were able to roam
internationally on over 63 networks in 45 countries. IM3 has also entered into
roaming agreements with operators of CDMA networks in Korea, which allows
postpaid subscribers to communicate in a country where there is no GSM network
operator.

   Within Indonesia, Satelindo's postpaid and prepaid cellular subscribers can
roam in Indonesia within the Satelindo network, but cannot use another
Indonesian cellular provider's network. However, Satelindo and IM3 have entered
into a unilateral roaming agreement, which allows IM3 subscribers to roam in
Satelindo's network.

  Customers and marketing

   We segment the Indonesian population by location, disposable income and
other factors that we believe indicate the desire and ability of individuals
and corporations to purchase our products and services. We then target areas we
believe are populated with a greater number and higher density of potential
subscribers. Satelindo currently targets populations in all major cities in
more densely populated areas of Java and Bali, as well as major cities in
Sumatra, Sulawesi and Kalimantan. These areas are generally economically more
developed and more prosperous than other areas in Indonesia. Satelindo has
traditionally had its primary subscriber base in the more densely populated
area of greater Jakarta (including Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang and Bekasi), while
IM3 has focused on building its subscriber base in the nine higher-density
areas of Batam, Surabaya, Semarang, Malang, Yogyakarta, Solo, Bandung, Jakarta
and Denpasar.

   Satelindo has recorded subscriber growth every year since the launch of its
GSM cellular business in Indonesia. Its prepaid subscriber base has grown
significantly over the past three years relative to its postpaid subscriber
base. At the end of 2000, Satelindo had approximately 184,900 postpaid and
870,400 prepaid cellular subscribers. By the end of 2001, its subscriber base
had grown to approximately 169,000 postpaid and 1,600,000 prepaid cellular
subscribers. As of December 31, 2002, Satelindo had 198,623 postpaid and
2,872,752 prepaid

                                      29



subscribers. At the end of December 31, 2002, IM3, on the other hand, had
42,955 postpaid subscribers and 468,321 prepaid subscribers. In the past, we
have focused on increasing the number of our prepaid subscribers, as prepaid
subscriptions minimize subscriber credit risks, as well as reduce billing and
collection costs. In addition, we believe that Indonesian customers tend to
favor the convenience, ease of activation and lack of credit checks associated
with prepaid plans. Prepaid subscribers also generally have a lower average
monthly churn rate than postpaid subscribers.

   When cellular services first became available in Indonesia, cellular
subscribers consisted primarily of high income individuals and business
customers, including government entities. As activation fees and handset prices
declined and cellular technology improved, cellular services have become
increasingly affordable and much more popular with the broader middle income
market for both business and social uses. These subscribers generally have
lower average monthly usage and are generally more price-sensitive. ARPU was
Rp. 117,542 and Rp. 89,658 for Satelindo prepaid subscribers for 2001 and 2002,
respectively, and was Rp. 359,477 and Rp. 386,347 for Satelindo postpaid
subscribers for the same periods, respectively. For IM3, blended postpaid and
prepaid ARPU was Rp. 102,144 at the end of 2002.

   Satelindo's and IM3's marketing strategy emphasizes their wide range of
innovative services and customer service. For example, Satelindo recently
introduced a new tagline of "The freedom to be you" for its cellular services
and, to strengthen brand recognition, is using this tagline for all of its
promotional activities. IM3 uses the tagline of "No Limit" for its promotional
activities. Satelindo and IM3 regularly advertise in major newspapers,
magazines and via direct mailings, and each also engages in telemarketing.
Satelindo and IM3 are currently targeting different segments of the cellular
market; Satelindo is primarily focusing upon attracting higher-end, more
affluent prepaid subscribers, as well as high-usage customers, such as
corporate accounts and professional individuals, and IM3 is primarily targeting
the younger mass market.

   We conduct our sales, distribution and marketing activities through our
customer service and sales centers, called "Satelindo Direct" for Satelindo and
"IM3 Gallery" for IM3, a network of independent dealers, and through our
corporate sales group, comprised of sales representatives and account managers.
These outlets act as the branches and offer a broad range of services including
providing product and service information, answering customer queries and
providing bill payment services. Customers can register for, activate, and pay
for all of our cellular services at these outlets. We also use independent
dealers who have their own networks throughout Indonesia to sell our wireless
services, primarily to individuals. These dealers include major distributors of
wireless phone handsets and tend to have their own retail networks, direct
sales forces and sub-dealers in Indonesia. We also have a dedicated team of
employees who coordinate sales and services to Indonesian corporations.

  Tariff structure and revenues

   The Indonesian cellular telecommunications market generally operates on a
"calling party pays" system, which requires that the originators of telephone
calls pay for calls. The tariffs for postpaid subscription services are
established in accordance with the Mobile Cellular Tariff prescribed in MoC
Decree No. 27/1998, and consist of activation, monthly subscription and usage
charges.

   The Mobile Cellular Tariff is the maximum tariff that can be charged for
cellular services by Indonesian cellular operators. Pursuant to the Mobile
Cellular Tariff, the maximum tariff chargeable for activation fees is Rp.
200,000, and the maximum monthly fee (including frequency charge) is Rp.
65,000. The maximum airtime charge is Rp. 325 per minute for non-peak hours and
Rp. 406 per minute for peak hours. Although the MoC does not set specific
tariffs levels for prepaid subscription services, it has limited the maximum
amount chargeable for prepaid services to 140% of the Mobile Cellular Tariff.
Prepaid tariffs are typically higher than tariffs for postpaid customers as
there is no monthly subscription fee, and Satelindo's and IM3's prepaid airtime
charges are generally at or close to the maximum rate chargeable (although
Satelindo has recently lowered certain of its tariffs; see "Recent tariff
reduction of Satelindo's Mentari Services" below).

                                      30



   Activation fees and monthly charges.  Activation fees represent the initial
connection fees charged to new postpaid and prepaid customers when subscribing
to a cellular network. Monthly charges represent fixed amounts charged only to
postpaid cellular subscribers for maintaining access to the cellular network.
Currently, our postpaid customers are charged a one-time activation fee of Rp.
75,000, a monthly subscription fee of Rp. 65,000 per month airtime of Rp. 325
per minute for non-peak hours and Rp. 406 per minute during peak hours. We
recognize the revenue from the service activation component of prepaid starter
pack sales upon actual sale and delivery of starter packs to customers
(dealers, distributors and subscribers). Sales of initial and reload vouchers
are recorded as unearned revenues and recognized as revenue upon usage of
available airtime or expiration of the voucher.

   Airtime.  For local calls originating or terminating on the PSTN, Satelindo
subscribers are charged a variable usage charge based on the location called
and the time of the call. For local calls from a cellular subscriber to the
PSTN, we are required to pay Telkom 50% of the prevailing tariff for local
pulse per minute. For local calls from the PSTN to a Satelindo or IM3 cellular
subscriber, Telkom collects the prevailing applicable local call tariff plus an
airtime charge of between Rp. 325 and Rp. 406 per minute, which Telkom remits
to us. We have similar arrangements if our subscribers make calls to or receive
calls from subscribers of other domestic cellular networks. If our subscriber
calls a subscriber of another domestic cellular network, we collect twice the
applicable airtime tariff plus the prevailing tariff for local pulse per
minute. We would then remit one half of the collected airtime tariff to the
domestic cellular network operator on which the call was terminated. If a call
is made to our subscriber, the other domestic cellular network operator
collects the applicable fees and remits the appropriate portion thereof to us.
If our subscriber calls another subscriber of ours, we keep all charges
collected. For domestic and international long distance calls, we collect
applicable long distance tariffs and recognize these amounts as airtime fees.
Certain international and domestic roaming charges are also collected and
recognized as airtime fees. If a postpaid subscriber makes calls when outside
his home area, whether domestic or abroad, then the subscriber pays a roaming
charge. Satelindo prepaid subscribers do not pay domestic roaming charges and
cannot roam internationally; IM3 prepaid subscribers pay domestic roaming
charges. Airtime fees also includes fees charged to other operators'
subscribers when they place calls to our subscribers. Such fees are collected
by the calling party's cellular or fixed-line network and remitted to us
pursuant to interconnection agreements.

   Value-added services.  The MoC does not regulate the tariffs for SMS or
other value-added services. Currently, Satelindo charges usage fees for use of
its SMS at Rp. 300 per message for postpaid subscribers and Rp. 350 per message
for prepaid subscribers. Satelindo has increased its SMS charges since the
inception of the service; the most recent increase was effected in January
2002. SMS operates on a "sender keep all" basis, which means that Satelindo and
IM3 earn revenue whenever one of their subscribers sends an SMS, however they
do not earn any revenue if a non Satelindo/IM3 subscriber sends an SMS to one
of their subscribers. For IM3's GPRS, which was launched in early 2002,
subscribers are charged Rp. 20 per kilobyte of data downloaded.

   We receive roaming settlements from foreign telecommunications operators
when their subscribers roam on our network. Additionally, as part of the
unilateral domestic roaming arrangement which Satelindo has entered into with
IM3, currently Satelindo may keep the calling charges earned from IM3
subscribers who roam domestically within Satelindo's coverage area.

   Recent tariff reduction of Satelindo's Mentari Services.  Continuing our
efforts to enhance services to Mentari (prepaid card) users, Satelindo
announced a change of calling charges for Mentari users. Starting from June 1,
2003, calling charges for Mentari customers to PSTN or ordinary fixed phone are
Rp. 816 per minute. Under this new tariff system, each of the 50 local zones in
Indosat is extended up to 200 km in distance. This means, a Mentari user in one
city may call a PSTN number in another city within the same zone for a local
calling charge. Furthermore, Satelindo will apply a local calling charge for a
call between Mentari and a PSTN number in another zone, as long as the cities
are within 30 km of the city of the caller. In addition, there is no surcharge
for a Mentari user to receive or make a call outside the local zone or outside
the city which he or she registered as the user (referred to as "free
roaming"). In addition, these Mentari users will also enjoy a special tariff
for calls to other Mentari or Matrix users throughout Indonesia of Rp 1,499 per
minute. With this offering,

                                      31



the entire territory of Indonesia can be considered as a single zone for calls
between Satelindo's users. Based on preliminary calculations, we estimate an
approximately 10% decline in ARPU of Satelindo's prepaid subscribers. However,
we expect that the tariff reduction policy will increase our subscriber base,
thus helping to maintain our revenue growth and offsetting the adverse effect
of such policy on our revenue stream.

  Interconnection

   Satelindo and IM3 currently interconnect with the PSTN operated by Telkom at
numerous locations throughout Indonesia. In order to minimize its
interconnection fees, Satelindo utilizes its own backbone transmission
facilities whenever possible and in compliance with applicable regulations. For
example, routing a long distance call from a Satelindo customer in Surabaya to
a caller in Jakarta through its microwave transmission lines or satellite
hook-up allows Satelindo to avoid the PSTN transmission altogether.

  Activation, billing and collection

   Potential customers can apply for Satelindo's cellular services at any of
its sales and distribution points. Satelindo Direct outlets and selected
primary independent dealers are able to register, verify the address of
potential new subscribers and then approve and activate new subscribers. The
majority of its independent dealers, however, can only receive new applications
for cellular services, which are then forwarded to Satelindo for processing. A
potential subscriber for its postpaid service is required to provide proof that
it meets its minimum credit requirements. If a potential subscriber does not
meet Satelindo's postpaid requirements, its sales representative typically
recommends Satelindo's prepaid services. Once approved, postpaid service
Subscriber Identity Module ("SIM") cards are activated within three days. This
activation time lag is generally due to congestion in Satelindo's internal
information management systems. Satelindo expects that the implementation of
its "intelligent network" platform will assist to alleviate this congestion.

   Satelindo bills its postpaid subscribers on a monthly basis through its
centralized billing division. In the case of prepaid subscribers, the wireless
billing system automatically reduces the value of each prepaid subscriber's
account as airtime is used.

   Satelindo's postpaid subscribers have a variety of payment options.
Subscribers may pay by cash, major credit cards, direct deposit or automatic
debit through banks or participating credit card companies. Subscribers may
make payments in person at any Satelindo Direct outlet or by mail. Subscribers
may also pay through P.T. Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. ("BNI"), Bank
Mandiri or P.T. Bank Central Asia Tbk. ("BCA") ATMs or over the counter at BNI,
Bank Mandiri or post office branches. Satelindo does not provide payment and
collection services through its network of independent dealers. Payments are
due 23 days after the account statement date. Thirty days after the statement
date, Satelindo sends a letter to subscribers who have not paid their balance
and blocks their ability to make outgoing calls. For subscribers who remain
unpaid 45 days after the statement date, it blocks the subscribers' ability to
make or receive calls. Satelindo permanently disconnects service, cancels the
subscriber's SIM card and makes 100% provisions for accounts that are more than
330 days past due.

   IM3 uses Indosat's billing system to bill its postpaid subscribers. This is
an example of the synergies available within the Indosat group. IM3 postpaid
customers can make payment in person at any IM3 Gallery or may also pay through
several banks, such as BNI, P.T. Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) ("BRI"), Bank
Syari'ah Mandiri and BCA, either over the counter or via ATMs.

   We have taken a number of steps to prevent subscriber fraud and to minimize
losses. We deliver prepaid vouchers to our independent dealers only on cash on
delivery basis, and we do not collect payments for our services from cellular
subscribers through our independent dealers. In addition, we demand, in certain
instances, refundable deposits from subscribers depending on usage levels and
we review accounts of our high usage customers at regular intervals to ensure
that the deposit levels continue to be adequate.

                                      32



  Competition

   The cellular service business in Indonesia has become increasingly
competitive over the past five years. Competition in the cellular
communications industry is based principally on network coverage and technical
quality, price, the availability of data services and special features, quality
and responsiveness of customer service. The four major providers of cellular
services in Indonesia are Satelindo, Telkomsel (which is majority owned by
Telkom), Excelcomindo and IM3, which together provide approximately 95% of
Indonesia's national cellular telecommunications services.

   We believe that barriers to entry are currently comparatively high due to
limited availability of frequency, a capital intensive operating environment,
the established market presence of the three incumbents and the recent market
entry of IM3. Nevertheless, we are anticipating increased competition within
the Indonesian cellular industry generally. In response to this, we intend to
dedicate future capital expenditure in the wireless businesses of Satelindo and
IM3 to increase network density, primarily through the addition of new cell
sites. We also believe that Satelindo, as an established cellular provider,
offers one of the widest selections of sophisticated data services and special
features in Indonesia.

  International calls services

   Through Indosat's "001" and Satelindo's "008" IDD services, we currently
handle substantially all of the traditional IDD business in Indonesia. However,
the duopoly regime in the IDD business will likely end if Telkom enters the
international call services business in August 2003, as it has announced that
it intends to do. See "--Regulation". In 2002, IDD services contributed Rp.
2,137.9 billion, or 31.6%, of our total consolidated operating revenues.

   Any "001" call dialed in Indonesia is routed through one of Indosat's five
international gateways (two in Jakarta, one each in Medan, Surabaya and Batam),
and any "008" call is routed through one of Satelindo's five international
gateways (two in Jakarta and one each in Medan, Batam and Denpasar). From these
international gateways, calls are transferred to their desired destination via
satellite or submarine cable, based on predetermined routing plans developed in
collaboration with foreign carriers. The foreign carriers receiving calls
through the international gateways are responsible for the final delivery of
the calls to their recipients. Likewise, international calls received at our
gateways are switched from the gateway to their destinations domestically
through Telkom or one of the other cellular operators with which we have
interconnection arrangements.

  Services

   We provide a variety of international voice telecommunications services and
both international switched and non-switched telecommunications services.
Switched services require interconnection with either the PSTN or another
mobile cellular operator's facilities; non-switched services can be completed
through Indosat's and Satelindo's own transmission facilities without the need
for interconnection.

   In addition to these IDD and value-added services, we commenced offering
international VoIP services in 2002, under the brand names "Global Save" for
Indosat and "Yelo" for Satelindo. Fixed line and cellular subscribers
throughout Indonesia are able to access Indosat's and Satelindo's VoIP service
for international calls by dialing separate access codes.

                                      33



   The following table sets forth certain operating data for our international
call services and includes operating data for Satelindo for all years presented:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


   The table above illustrates two significant trends in the decline in
international outgoing and incoming calls. During 2002, Indosat's and
Satelindo's combined international outgoing calls measured by paid minutes
decreased by 8.5% compared to the previous year, while incoming calls increased
significantly by 17.4% over the same period. Combined outgoing and incoming
calls, also measured by paid minutes, increased 5.4% during 2002. Worldwide and
Indonesian trends indicate increased usage of VoIP services and a corresponding
decrease in the usage of traditional international long distance services. The
cost structure for providers of VoIP services is lower than for traditional
fixed line operators and, as such, VoIP services are customarily offered at
significant cost savings compared to traditional international long distance
services. We believe that increased competition from VoIP operators, some of
which are unlicensed, contributed to declining IDD call volume in past periods
and will continue to do so in the future as more VoIP operators enter the
market and as VoIP call quality improves.

  Customers and marketing

   Indosat's top 500 customers accounted for approximately 37.15% of outgoing
IDD calls by revenues billed in 2002. Approximately 48.1% of Indosat's outgoing
call minutes originated in the Jakarta area, followed by Batam (near Singapore)
with 5.5%, Surabaya in East Java with 5.2%, and Denpasar in Bali with 4.7%. No
single customer accounts for more than 1% of Indosat's revenue for IDD services.

   Indosat maintains a proprietary database of customer information, which
allows it to analyze consumer preferences and usage patterns and to develop
tailored marketing and products. Indosat conducts its own market research by
contacting its largest customers directly. Indosat has also engaged consultants
to perform broader research on customer behavior and needs.

   Indosat has undertaken a variety of marketing initiatives to continue to
improve its service to IDD customers. Indosat's marketing strategy is focused
on: (i) protecting and increasing penetration in existing markets, (ii)
creating new markets, (iii) adding value and improving customer relations in
each of its markets and (iv) new product development. Indosat has traditionally
maintained an aggressive nationwide advertising campaign, using television,
newspapers, magazines, web-sites and radio to promote its general corporate
image and to increase awareness of its main products to business and retail
customers. Indosat regularly takes part in domestic and international trade
exhibitions. Indosat also has established regional sales offices in Bali,
Surabaya, Bandung, Semarang, Balikpapan, Ujung Pandang, Padang, Bandar Lampung,
Pekanbaru and Palembang.

   Indosat has a specialized sales force, including a sales group, which
focuses on its largest 500 customers, which include hotels, large corporate
customers such as mining and oil companies and financial institutions, as

                                      34



well as government offices and embassies. Indosat also conducts broader-based
marketing programs, such as telemarketing and direct-mail campaigns and has
implemented a customer loyalty program, which provides incentives to regular
users. In addition, Indosat seeks to broaden its customer base by conducting
joint promotions with other international telecommunications companies to
promote its services.

   Indosat strives to continue to deliver high quality services in order to
maximize customer satisfaction. In 2002, we started implementation of a
customer relationship management ("CRM") initiative across all consolidated
business units. Our management believes that CRM will allow us to manage
customer information better, thereby improving service quality to such
customers. Upon full implementation in 2004, we aim to have marketing, sales,
customer service and billing functions largely integrated and customer
information centrally-stored for instant availability to a variety of
customer-contact points. We believe that the CRM initiative, if successfully
implemented, will distinguish the service quality that we are able to provide
to customers from other telecommunications operators in Indonesia.

   To consolidate the marketing channels for our business units, we have
developed and begun to selectively roll-out integrated walk-in centers, named
"IOG--Indosat One Gallery", which offer Indosat, Satelindo and IM3 services in
the same outlet. We have also started to implement our CRM initiative, through
the introduction of our e-POINT system as a CRM tool for customer service
workflow and implemented for Indosat new services such Indosat Phone & Global
Save. In addition to this CRM initiative, we have updated our technology to
provide comprehensive and integrated telecommunication solutions, such as data
and voice communication technology, video conferencing and network services.
Indosat's sales team also conducts quality monitoring and tactical programs as
part of its efforts in this regard.

  Tariff structure and revenues

   Rates.  The following discussion relates to the provision of basic switched
international telephone services. We do not directly control the rates charged
to end users of basic international calls services. The rates for such services
are established by the ministry responsible (currently the MoC) for
telecommunications for calls originating and billed in Indonesia. The rates for
outgoing calls are set by reference to six geographical zones and, depending on
the destination, range from Rp. 4,900 to Rp. 10,700 per minute.

   The amounts payable to us by international calls carriers for incoming
telephone calls are determined by accounting rates negotiated between us and
such international carriers, subject to certain guidelines from the MoC. In
setting our tariff structure, the MoC considers: (i) our financial and
operating objectives, (ii) our negotiated accounting rates with foreign
telecommunications carriers and (iii) external Governmental policies, such as
its policy to expand the regional economy. We may establish the rates for
non-basic services, such as store and forward facsimile and electronic data
interchange, subject to filing with the MoC, which sets upper limits on such
rates. See "--Regulation."

   Under the Telecommunications Law, the Government is proposing to amend its
tariff policy to allow greater competition. However, the Government has not yet
introduced such amendments. See "--Regulation". In addition, recently enacted
Ministerial Decree No. KM 23/2002 provides that VoIP service providers may
determine their own collection charges, and each service provider must
negotiate with the applicable network provider for interconnection charges. For
that reason, Indosat has entered into an agreement with Telkom as its network
provider for VoIP interconnection.

   Our international calls revenue has two primary sources: the domestic
operators (primarily Telkom) and foreign telecommunications carriers. With
certain limited exceptions, we do not receive any payments directly from the
end users of our public international calls services. For 2002, approximately
70.9% of international calls revenue was derived from amounts paid or payable
by Telkom and other domestic operators in respect of outgoing calls,
approximately 15.4% of such revenue was derived from amounts paid or payable by
cellular operators and approximately 12.9% of such revenue was derived from net
settlements with foreign telecommunications carriers in respect of incoming and
outgoing calls. The remaining 0.9% of international calls

                                      35



revenue was derived from direct billing for specific services, such as calling
card and store and forward fax services. The corresponding figures for 2001
were 72.2%, 17.3%, 9.8% and 0.7%.

   The provision of international calls services between two countries is
normally established between telecommunications carriers on a bilateral basis.
As of December 31, 2002, Indosat and Satelindo had operating arrangements with
more than 260 foreign telecommunications carriers in approximately 258 and 20
countries and territories, respectively, that govern the accounting rates
between the parties. The accounting rates set the terms of payment by us to the
foreign telecommunications carriers for use of their facilities in connecting
international calls billed in Indonesia and by the foreign telecommunications
carriers to us for use of our facilities (and the local Indonesian networks) in
connecting international calls billed abroad.

   The practice among telecommunications carriers is for charges due in respect
of the use of overseas networks to be recorded, collected and forwarded by the
telecommunications carrier from the country in which the call is billed. Based
on the accounting rate negotiated with each foreign telecommunications carrier,
we make payments to the carrier for outgoing traffic billed in Indonesia, and
we receive payments from such carrier for inbound traffic billed outside
Indonesia. Settlements among carriers are normally made quarterly on a net
basis.

   Our largest correspondent carriers are those in Singapore, the United
States, Japan and Hong Kong.

   Interconnection with Domestic Networks.  Although we provide international
gateways for outgoing calls from and incoming calls to Indonesia, all
international calls must terminate on one of the domestic networks: fixed line
(operated by Telkom), fixed wireless (operated by Telkom and P.T. Radio Telepon
Indonesia) and mobile cellular (four national GSM operators and four regional
analog operators). The Government has set an interconnection tariff for
international calls which traverse the domestic fixed line and fixed wireless
networks. We have separate interconnection agreements with those operators that
interconnect directly with our international gateways.

   The tariff on interconnection rates as regulated by the MoC for
international calls which traverse Telkom's network is: (i) an access charge of
Rp. 850 per successful incoming and outgoing call; and (ii) a usage charge of
Rp. 550 per paid minute of successful incoming and outgoing call. The MoC has
stated that Indosat is exempt from paying the universal service obligation
("USO") for a period of ten years, commencing January 1, 1995, and has
indicated to Indosat that its interconnection tariff payment obligations will
not exceed 25% of its net international revenues. Based on the current tariff
structure, we anticipate that the tariff will not exceed 25% of Indosat's
international revenues.

  Customer billing

   With respect to international calls which are initiated on the domestic
networks, Telkom and the relevant domestic operators maintain control over the
billing and collection process, retaining the appropriate interconnection
charges owed to them from the amounts collected and remitting the balance in
Rupiah to us (without interest thereon) within not less than 25 days of
collection from the customer in Indonesia. The collection cycle for most of the
domestic operators is approximately 15 days. We are responsible for generating
and delivering the billing information to the domestic operators. This
information is generally delivered within one day of the end of the prior
30-day period and billed by the domestic operators approximately five days
after receipt from us, resulting in a collection cycle of approximately 55 to
85 days. For purposes of financial reporting, we recognize income on a monthly
basis based upon our own traffic records. We have similar arrangements with the
domestic cellular network operators.

   With respect to incoming calls terminating on the domestic networks, we
remit the appropriate interconnection charge to the relevant operator,
generally within 15 days of the end of the quarter in which payment was
received from the foreign telecommunications carrier. The settlements from
foreign telecommunications carriers are generally paid in dollars, which are
deposited in Indonesia, and amounts representing interconnection payments
payable by us to the domestic network operators are remitted in Rupiah.

                                      36



  Competition

   Indosat and Satelindo are currently the only authorized providers of
traditional IDD (non-VoIP) call services in Indonesia. However, the Government
retains the right to designate other companies as providers of international
telephone services. In August 2000, the Government granted Telkom an
international telecommunications in-principle license. It is expected that
Telkom will enter the international calls market in August 2003.

   Indonesian regulations require equal access to all domestic
telecommunications facilities for all competitors. Accordingly, both Indosat
and Satelindo have equal access to Telkom's domestic facilities. Current
regulations assure equal access for IDD customers to all competitors on a
per-call selection by means of dedicated access code. This was regulated by MoC
Decree No. 4/2001. If, as announced, Telkom enters the Indonesian IDD market in
August 2003, Telkom would offer an IDD access code other than 001 or 008, which
would increase competition to our IDD business.

   Starting from 2001, the traditional IDD market became more competitive, with
VoIP technology and new entrants entering the market for both incoming and
outgoing IDD traffic. We anticipate that the Indonesian VoIP market will
continue to grow, accounting for more than 10% of call volume in year 2002, as
new providers enter the market and as technology and call quality improves. We
started to enter the VoIP market in the latter part of 2002.

  MIDI

   Recognizing the significant growth potential of data and other network
services--including Internet-based services--and their increasing importance to
our overall business strategy, we have placed considerable emphasis on this
business segment. The products and services that we offer in this business
segment include high-speed point-to-point international and domestic digital
leased line services, a high-performance packet-switching service and satellite
transponder leasing and broadcasting services. In 2002, MIDI services
contributed Rp. 1,263.0 billion, or 18.7%, of our total operating revenues.

  Services

   World Link, Direct Link and Digital Data Network.  World Link, offered by
Indosat, is an international leased line service, which provides high-speed,
high-quality digital data circuits on a point-to-point basis, and offers line
speeds from 64 Kbps and multiples thereof up to 2 Mbps. Most of our World Link
customers are multinational corporations and Internet access providers who
require dedicated high-speed international data links. Very small aperture
terminal ("VSAT") connections are used for World Link and other leased line
users located in areas that are not fully served by the domestic network.
Direct Link and Digital Data Network are services, which are offered by Indosat
and Lintasarta to corporate customers. In total, World Link, Direct Link and
Digital Data Network contributed Rp. 441.1 billion, or 34.9%, of our
consolidated MIDI revenues in 2002.

   Frame relay.  We provide frame relay services, a high-speed leased packet
technology, primarily through Lintasarta, providing customers with multilateral
connectivity, reliable local area network ("LAN") interconnections and the
power to support complex distributed computing applications. Framed messages
enable data transmissions to travel at high speed from a simple single
connection to reach multiple domestic or international destinations. Frame
relay services can be tailored to the requirements of individual sites in order
to meet user demands for a dedicated line by terrestrial or satellite services
(VSAT frame relay). As of December 31, 2002, Lintasarta's frame relay services
are available in 33 major cities in Indonesia and over 225 countries worldwide
in co-operation with Equant. We received revenues of Rp. 285.5 billion from
this service in 2002, or 22.6%, of our consolidated MIDI revenues in 2002.

                                      37



   Satellite services.  The principal satellite service that we provide through
Satelindo is the leasing of transponders on the Palapa-C2 satellite, in orbit
over the Asia-Pacific region, to broadcasters and telecommunications operators.
Indonesia has a large television market in which a number of privately-owned
domestic broadcasters and international programmers already compete with the
state-owned broadcasters. Many of these domestic and international broadcasters
lease capacity on Satelindo's satellite. Satelindo has entered into lease
arrangements governing transponders on the Palapa C-2 satellite that vary in
duration, but generally terminate within two to five years of the effective
date of the lease. The transponder leases may be terminated for breach of the
lease agreement and, in addition, most of the leases provide that the lessee
may terminate the lease with notice (generally six to 12 months) subject to the
lessee paying a termination fee equal to a percentage of the lease payments
that would have been due had the lease not been terminated.

   Satelindo also provides a variety of other supplementary services, including
occasional use for TV services, telecast services, telemetry, tracking &
control services, private network services, Internet access and multimedia and
video conferencing. Satelindo expects demand for satellite services to grow in
2002, mainly driven by accelerating growth of satellite derivative services
(its digital "Bouquet" & "PalapaNet" services). Pressure on pricing is expected
to ease as a consequence of this improved demand. In 2002, satellite services
contributed approximately Rp. 201.5 billion, or 16.0%, towards our total MIDI
operating revenues.

   Internet services.  We provide Internet services through IMM and Lintasarta.
IMM provides dedicated and dial-up services, and at the end of 2002 had an
Internet subscriber base of approximately 24,000, which we estimate was more
than 10% of the Indonesian retail Internet market. In anticipation of higher
competition in Internet businesses, IMM has developed a strategy to expand its
business through developing an IP backbone through potential growth areas,
establishing customer care centers, developing its network through joint
investment schemes and improving its business processes. Lintasarta offers its
subscribers "IdOLA", an Internet Service Provider ("ISP") designed for global
communications. With IdOLA, subscribers can access information from many
content providers in Indonesia and worldwide. Corporations may use IdOLA for
Internet promotions, software and computer allocations, co-operative ventures
or domestic and international trade transactions. For the year ended December
31, 2002, we derived Rp. 162.2 billion, or 12.8% of our total MIDI revenues,
from Internet services.

   VSAT Net/IP and VSAT Link.  Lintasarta's VSAT Net/IP and VSAT Link services
are satellite-based data networking systems. VSAT Net/IP connects and controls
data traffic among remote locations, allowing for quick development of data for
network customers with low-to-medium traffic in such sectors as financial
services, transportation, trading and distribution. VSAT Link provides
point-to-point digital transmission for remote locations by businesses with
medium-to-heavy traffic such as manufacturing, mining, and financial services
industries.

  Customers and marketing

   Lintasarta's and Satelindo's marketing activities for MIDI services include
group presentations, direct mail, partner promotions, customer retention
programs and advertisements in publications and printed media. Each subsidiary
seeks to maintain existing customer relationships through activities such as
user forums, training seminars, courtesy visits and informal gatherings with
customers. Lintasarta's marketing strategy focuses on expanding its market
share in industry segments outside its core competencies in banking and
finance, in light of the anticipated consolidation and restructuring of those
industries in Indonesia. In addition, Lintasarta has increasingly focused its
sales and marketing efforts on small to medium size enterprises ("SMEs") by
repackaging its products and services for their specialized needs, especially
in connection with the development of the Internet as a mechanism for
e-commerce. Lintasarta is exploring the expansion of the existing geographic
coverage of its products and services to address the increasing demand for
telecommunications infrastructure in outlying regions as a result of Indonesian
political developments, including increased regional autonomy.

   Lintasarta supports its subscribers through local area staff, 24-hours help
desk and integrated real-time network management. In April 2000, Lintasarta
achieved ISO 9002 certification for its Frame Relay, Digital Data

                                      38



Network and VSAT services. In January 2002, Satelindo obtained ISO 9001
certification for its satellite services, evidencing its commitment to customer
satisfaction and continual service quality improvement. Satelindo believes that
it was the first satellite operator in the Asia-Pacific region to obtain such
certification.

  Tariff structure and revenues

   Customers of our various MIDI services are charged based on the type of
product and service, their industry sector, geographic location and the length
of contract for the services (which generally range from one to three years).
Customers are generally charged in Rupiah except for certain products, such as
VSAT, which are charged in U.S. dollars. Service charges generally include the
following components: initial installation; monthly service charges (based on
location and access speed); transactional charges (based on the volume,
duration and/or distance traveled for network traffic); and ancillary charges
for services such as consultancy or project management.

   Satellite transponder lease rates to international lessees are negotiated
between Satelindo and its customers and depend on the supply and demand of
services in the areas covered by the Palapa-C2 satellite. Satelindo's offshore
leases average US$1.5 million per annum for a full transponder. (Certain
offshore leases are also subject to annual escalation factors that range from
2.5% to 10%.) Almost all offshore lease payments are payable quarterly in
advance in U.S. dollars and other widely used currencies. The MoC regulates the
fees that can be charged in connection with leasing space on satellite
transponders to domestic customers. Pursuant to MTPT Decree 25/1996, the
maximum annual lease rates for C-band transponders are set at US$1.7 million;
for occasional use, the fees are between US$8 to US$19 per minute, depending on
the time of day.

  Competition

   Data communications service providers in Indonesia compete principally on
the basis of price, range of services provided and customer service quality.
During the last three years, competition among data communications service
providers has intensified principally due to the issuance of new licenses as a
result of the deregulation of the Indonesian telecommunications industry.
Lintasarta expects competition to continue to intensify. Lintasarta believes
that its major competitors are Primacon and Citra Sari Makmur with respect to
its VSAT services, and Citra Sari Makmur and Telkom with respect to its Frame
Relay services. Lintasarta also faces competition with respect to its data
communications consulting services from a variety of competitors including
international software developers, technology consultants and other
telecommunications services providers.

   With respect to Internet-related value-added services, IMM and Lintasarta
face significant and increasing competition from other ISPs as a result of the
increased issuance of licenses by the MoC. ISPs in Indonesia compete on the
basis of network quality, price and network coverage.

   Companies in the satellite business compete primarily on coverage power,
product offerings and cost. Generally, the cost of service depends upon the
combination of power and coverage. In recent years, competition within the
satellite business in the Asia-Pacific region has been intense. Satelindo's
satellite operations have primarily consisted of leasing transponders to
broadcasters and telecommunications operators of VSAT, cellular and IDD
services and ISPs. Satelindo faces competition from foreign and domestic
service providers in each of these areas. In leasing its transponders on the
Palapa-C2 satellite, Satelindo competes most closely in Indonesia with P.T.
Pasifik Satelit Nusantara ("PSN") and Telkom. PSN also owns transponders on the
Mabuhay Philippines Satellite, which is used primarily for television broadcast
services. Telkom currently operates its own satellites (Telkom and Palapa B4)
and earth stations primarily to provide backbone transmission links for its
network. Telkom also leases satellite transponder capacity and provides earth
station satellite up linking and down linking service to domestic and
international users. Other private satellites serving the broadcast market
within the coverage area of the Palapa satellites include AsiaSat-1, AsiaSat-2,
Apstar-1, Apstar-2R and PanAmSat-7. APT Satellite, which operates the Apstar
satellites, also competes directly with Satelindo in the Asian regional market.

                                      39



  Other Services

   Through Indosat, we also provide international telex and telegram services
and global mobile services using the Inmarsat Mini M system. In 2002, we
received revenues of Rp. 3.7 billion and Rp. 15.0 billion from these services,
respectively.

   Furthermore, Indosat has been granted a license to establish a fixed-line
network. This roll-out was initially limited to Jakarta and Surabaya, which
began from August 2002. However, pursuant to MoC Decree Number 130, dated April
17, 2003, Indosat may now establish a fixed-line network nationwide. Indosat's
fixed-line license specifically gives Indosat the right to establish a
fixed-line network on a circuit and packet-switched basis over a five-year
project period, until December 31, 2006. We currently intend to roll out this
fixed-line network in partnership with Mega Asia Consortium, although
negotiations have not yet been concluded.

Facilities and Infrastructure

   The discussion below relates to our IDD network, cellular network and other
communications facilities and infrastructure including that of Indosat and our
significant operating subsidiaries.

  Cellular Network

   We provide cellular services through our subsidiaries, Satelindo and IM3.
Each of Satelindo and IM3 has a telecommunications services provider license,
which allows it to provide cellular services in Indonesia nationwide and for an
indefinite period. The network infrastructure of these subsidiaries is
substantially similar.

  Satelindo

   Satelindo's network currently operates using 10 MHz of radio frequency
bandwidth in the 900 MHz band and, in December 2000, Satelindo was allocated an
additional 5 MHz of frequency bandwidth in the 1800 MHz band.

   The principal components of Satelindo's cellular network are:

   .   cell sites--physical locations equipped with a base station consisting
       of transmitters, receivers and other equipment used to communicate with
       cellular telephone handsets through radio signals;

   .   base station controllers--devices that connect to and control the base
       station within each cell site;

   .   mobile switching centers--centers that control the base station
       controllers and the routing of telephone calls; and

   .   transmission lines--lines that link the mobile switching centers, base
       station controllers, base stations and the PSTN.

   The following table sets forth selected information regarding Satelindo's
cellular network as of the dates indicated.

   Satelindo plans to gradually increase its network coverage and improve its
grade of service.

   Satelindo purchases its cellular telecommunications equipment primarily from
Alcatel and Siemens. Satelindo's network is an integrated system employing
switching equipment, cell site equipment and a

                                      40



transmission network of point-to-point microwave radio, provided by Alcatel,
for Java, and by Siemens, for all other geographic areas. Alcatel has exclusive
rights to provide certain cellular equipment for use on Java until the end of
2003, subject to certain conditions.

   Most of Satelindo's cell sites and radio base stations are located in or on
buildings or on vacant lots, which Satelindo owns, or for which leases have
been individually negotiated by Satelindo for terms typically varying from five
to 20 years.

   Satelindo has an extensive microwave transmission network throughout the
Jabotabek area, which connects to Cirebon (West Java), Semarang and Yogyakarta
(Central Java) and Surabaya (East Java). Long distance calls either originating
from, or terminating within, Satelindo's cellular network, are routed primarily
through Satelindo's microwave transmission lines, lines leased from Telkom and
the Palapa-C2 satellite. Satelindo also has a fiber optic distribution network
for interconnection with Telkom.

   Satelindo is also currently conducting a technical and commercial trial
organized by a vendor for GPRS in multiple locations.

  IM3

   IM3's cellular network consists of the same basic components as Satelindo's
cellular network. It currently operates using 15 MHz of radio frequency
bandwidth in the GSM 1800 spectrum. The following table sets forth selected
information regarding IM3's cellular network as of December 31, 2001.

                    ---------------------------------------


   IM3 purchases its cellular telecommunications equipment primarily from
Ericsson. Like Satelindo, most of IM3's cell sites and radio base stations are
located in or on buildings or on vacant lots which IM3 or Satelindo owns, or
for which leases have been individually negotiated by IM3 or Satelindo for
terms typically varying from five to 20 years.

  International calls network

   Indosat and Satelindo each provide international calls services and each
have similar international calls networks consisting of international gateways
served by satellite circuits, submarine cables and microwave transmission.

   International gateways.  For its international calls business, Indosat
currently operates through gateways at Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan and Batam,
which provide all of the connections for its services to our international
calls network. Satelindo's international traffic currently travels through its
two international gateways in Jakarta, and one each in Medan and Denpasar. The
gateway-switching equipment was purchased from Lucent Technologies, Inc. and
Siemens.

   As of December 31, 2002, Indosat had available bandwidth capacity of 633.8
Mbps for voice and 461.4 Mbps for data transmission. As of December 31, 2001,
Satelindo operated approximately 1,677 international telephone circuits at its
gateways, and the combined installed capacity of the four gateways was
approximately 6,120 circuits. The gateways also have 27 Mbps of international
data capacity, which Satelindo uses to provide its network solutions services.
All of our destinations are digitally connected. The bandwidth available to us
is significantly higher than the utilized capacity to allow for anticipated
growth in traffic. It is our policy to maintain average utilization at less
than 80% of capacity to allow for increased usage during peak hours.

                                      41



   Each gateway is linked to the other gateways, which permits multiple routing
options for each call and provides the system with backup capability in case of
equipment failure or overcrowding at any gateway. Indosat has interconnection
equipment at the facilities of Telkom and certain of the cellular operators to
connect its international calls network to the domestic telecommunications
network.

   Transmission of voice and data between gateways occurs across either
satellite circuits or submarine cables. Satellite circuits are unaffected by
distance and offer broadcast services which make them flexible with regard to
destinations. Submarine cables, especially fiber optic digital cables, can
offer less expensive high-quality services. However, cable costs increase with
distance, and destinations are fixed. Satellite circuits can be degraded by
atmospheric conditions, while submarine cables can suffer cable breaks. In
general, we use submarine cables with cable-to-cable backup for medium distance
links in Asia and primarily satellite links backup for longer distance links.
We use microwave and fiber optic links for connections between gateways and
earth stations, as well as for the Batam gateway, which has microwave links to
Singapore and Johor, Malaysia. It is our policy to have 100% redundancy for all
of our links (which may require routing through a third country).

   Submarine cables.  Indosat has ownership interests and access to capacity in
submarine cables interconnecting the Asia/Pacific region, North Africa, Europe,
as well as those linking the region with North America. The table below sets
forth the geographic coverage, age and allocated capacity of Indosat's cable
network, as of December 31, 2002.

   To support the operations of Indosat's gateway in Surabaya, we have operated
a submarine fiber optic cable linking Jakarta and Surabaya since January 1997.
This link has capacity of five Gbps, which enables us to enhance network
reliability and improve the quality of services in the Surabaya region.

   Indosat operates a microwave transmission system between its Batam gateway
and Singapore and Johor, Malaysia. This system has a combined capacity of 200
Mbps and 2 Mbps for voice and data, respectively.

   Satelindo has ownership interests in, and access to, capacity in submarine

   We also own small interests in several other submarine cables, which do not
land in Indonesia. These are primarily located in Asia. These cables connect,
directly and indirectly, to cables, which land in Indonesia and thereby form a
worldwide cable network.

   Satellite circuits.  As of December 31, 2002, Indosat's available satellite
bandwidth was 42.2 Mbps for voice and 1.6 Mbps for data circuits through earth
stations at its Jakarta, Medan and Surabaya gateways. Indosat's satellite
capacity is currently obtained principally from Intelsat and, to a lesser
extent, from Palapa. Satelindo maintains two Intelsat A-standard earth stations
at its Jalan Daan Mogot facility in Jakarta. These earth stations transmit to
two Intelsat satellites on which Satelindo leases satellite telephone circuits.
As of December 31, 2002, Satelindo leased and operated a total of 30 circuits
on these two Intelsat satellites. Due to cost considerations, we have reduced
the use of satellite circuits in favor of submarine cable circuits.

  Other communication facilities

   We have other communication facilities that are predominantly used in the
provision of our MIDI services. They are Satelindo's Palapa-C2 communications
satellite and our fiber optic links to major commercial centers in the Jakarta
area.

  Palapa-C2 satellite

   Communications satellites are of varying use depending on such features as
their footprint, or coverage areas; transponder power (typically stated in
dBW); and transponder bandwidth. Transponder bandwidth, expressed in terms of
megahertz (MHz), varies between C-band and Ku-band transponders. C-band is used
worldwide for satellite communications to transmit signals with minimum
interference from atmospheric

                                      43



conditions. C-band transponders operate at a frequency of 4-6 GHz. They can
provide very broad coverage over most of the Asian continent, making them very
popular for applications such as television broadcasting. Ku-band transponders
operate at a frequency of approximately 11-14 GHz. While Ku-band frequencies
are more prone to moisture and rain interference than C-band frequencies, they
are more suitable for small antenna applications. Ku-band is generally used for
the same purposes as C-band, as well as for satellite news-gathering
(truck-mounted antennas) and some VSAT applications. Ku-band is especially
prevalent in areas with dense ground-based microwave systems. To compensate for
loss of signal strength caused by water and rain interference, Ku-band
transmitters are generally higher-power than C-band transmitters and the
footprints are smaller.

   The Palapa-C2 satellite has six 36 MHz Extended C-band transponders owned by
PSN, and twenty-four 36 MHz Standard C-band transponders and four 72 MHz
Ku-band transponders owned by Satelindo. The maximum power on each of the
C-band and Ku-band transponders is 40 and 51 dBW, respectively. The C-band and
Ku-band have overlapping coverage areas.

   The Palapa-C2 satellite has C-band coverage over virtually the entire Asian
region, with a footprint stretching from Central Asia to Japan (west to east)
and southern China to New Zealand and parts of Australia (north to south). dBW
levels range from a beam edge of 32 dBW to a beam center of 40 dBW. With this
power, it is possible for the Palapa-C2 satellite to uplink and downlink from
anywhere within its footprint. The four Ku-band transponders provide coverage
over eastern China and Japan, as well as southern China to all of western
Indonesia, with peak transponder power of 51 dBW.

   Satellites of the same class as Palapa-C2 typically have an average life of
14 years. Palapa-C2 is expected to remain operational until January 2011. The
manufacturer of the satellite has provided a warranty on the electrical
components of the satellite until June 2008. Satelindo also carries insurance
on the satellite; however, because Palapa-C2 is of a class of satellite which
has been identified as prone to SCP failure, Satelindo's satellite insurance
does not cover satellite malfunction caused by failure of the SCP.

                                      46



   The bonds are not collateralized by any specific Indosat assets nor
guaranteed by other parties. All of Indosat's assets, except for the assets
that have been specifically used as a security to its creditors, are used as a
pari passu guarantee for all of Indosat's liabilities.

   The proceeds of the bonds replaced Indosat's internal funds used for the
development of its cellular business through the acquisition of Satelindo.

   Indosat agreed to maintain certain covenants in connection with the issuance
of Indosat Syari'ah Bonds, which are similar to the covenants in connection
with the issuance of the Second Indosat Bonds.

  Indosat's long-term debts

   On July 23, 2002, Indosat entered into a six-month term loan agreement with
BCA for a total facility of US$75 million. This term loan facility was used by
Indosat to finance its capital injection in Satelindo. In December 2002,
Indosat repaid US$50 million of this loan, using US$10 million from part of the
proceeds from the Second Indosat Bonds and US$40 million from a new loan
facility from BCA (described below). The balance of the loan was repaid by the
time of the loan's maturity in January 2003.

   On December 3, 2002, Indosat entered into another loan agreement with BCA,
for a total facility of US$40 million, to refinance the previous US$75 million
loan from BCA. This loan is payable in quarterly installments of US$3.3 million
starting from March 23, 2005, and will mature on December 23, 2007. Interest
accrues on this loan at a rate determined using the interest rate of
three-month U.S. dollar time deposits with BCA, plus a fixed premium of 5.9%,
and interest is payable on a quarterly basis. This loan is collateralized by
Indosat's shares in Satelindo in a minimum amount of 125% of the total loan
facility, for which purpose Indosat has pledged to BCA 5,128,206 shares in
Satelindo owned by Indosat.

   On August 27, 2002, Indosat entered into a loan agreement with BNI for a
working capital facility in a maximum amount of US$75 million. The proceeds of
this loan were used to refinance part of a prior loan obtained from Bank
Mandiri. Interest accrues on this loan at the rate of LIBOR plus 6.15% and is
payable on a quarterly basis. The loan is payable in quarterly installments
starting from the third year of the loan until its maturity date in August 26,
2007. This loan is collateralized by 9,615,385 shares of Satelindo owned by
Indosat. In connection with this loan, Indosat agreed to, among other things,
maintain:

   .   a current ratio of 110% at the minimum; and

   .   a debt to equity ratio of 233% at the maximum.

  Satelindo

   Following the Asian financial crisis and the related devaluation of the
Rupiah as against the U.S. dollar in late 1997, Satelindo defaulted on its debt
obligations in 1998. On March 18, 1999 Satelindo negotiated a settlement of its
outstanding indebtedness owed to Alcatel and P.T. Alcatel Enkomindo
("Enkomindo"). On March 14, 2000, Satelindo converted amounts payable pursuant
to the settlement agreement into a long-term debt facility and, in May 2000,
Satelindo reached a final agreement with Alcatel, Enkomindo and its remaining
creditors pursuant to the Master Restructuring Agreement or MRA (as defined
below). Immediately prior to the date of the MRA, Satelindo had a total
principal amount of indebtedness of US$530.5 million of which US$403.1 million
was restructured pursuant to the MRA, US$116.0 million was simultaneously
restructured pursuant to a number of bilateral agreements between Satelindo and
its respective lenders and US$11.4 million was not restructured.

  Alcatel Settlement Agreement and Debt Facility Deed

   On March 18, 1999, Satelindo entered into a settlement agreement
("Settlement Agreement") with Alcatel and Enkomindo regarding: (i) various
procurement contracts and purchase orders related to the supply of cellular

                                      47



equipment and related services and (ii) amounts owed to Alcatel and Enkomindo
totaling US$136 million. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Satelindo made a
one time payment of US$20 million to Alcatel and Enkomindo and committed to
repay the remaining amounts owed over a five-year period commencing in 2000. On
March 14, 2000, Satelindo subsequently converted amounts payable to Alcatel and
Enkomindo under the Settlement Agreement into a long-term debt facility ("Debt
Facility"). The Debt Facility provides for a total credit facility of US$116
million, representing balances outstanding to Alcatel and Enkomindo in the
amount of US$96.5 million and US$19.5 million, respectively. Interest is
payable on a semi-annual basis on March 31 and September 30, at the rate of
LIBOR plus: (i) 2.5% for the years 2000 through 2003 and (ii) 4.5% for the year
2004. As of December 31, 2002, the outstanding principal amount equaled US$46.4
million under the Debt Facility. The remaining unpaid principle of the Debt
Facility is payable in four equal semi-annual installments of US$11.6 million,
with the next payment due on September 30, 2003and the final payment due on
September 30, 2004. The Debt Facility is collateralized by all equipment
delivered to Satelindo by Alcatel and Enkomindo, satellite lease revenues and
in-orbit insurance proceeds.

  Master Restructuring Agreement

   On May 30, 2000, Satelindo entered into a Master Restructuring Agreement
("Master Restructuring Agreement" or "MRA") with the GECA Facility Lenders, the
P.T. Bank Paribas-BBD Facility Lenders, Badan Penyehatan Perbankan Nasional
(the Indonesian Banking Restructuring Agency or "IBRA") and the Exchange Note
Holders to reschedule portions of its outstanding indebtedness.

three credit facilities and one note program. The table below sets forth the
principal amount of, the capitalized interest on and various payouts relating
to the restructured indebtedness immediately prior to the execution of the MRA.
The table also sets forth the principal amount of each credit facility and the

   .   Guaranteed Floating Rate Bonds: On May 30, 2000, Satelindo, through its
       wholly-owned subsidiary, Satelindo International Finance B.V. ("SIB"),
       issued US$214.9 million of Guaranteed Floating Rate Bonds ("Satelindo
       Bonds"). The Satelindo Bonds replaced promissory notes in accordance
       with the MRA. The Satelindo Bonds were issued in three series, which are
       designated as the Guaranteed Floating Rate Bonds due 2004, the
       Guaranteed Floating Rate Bonds due 2005 and the Guaranteed Floating Rate
       Bonds due 2006. The Indenture governing the Satelindo Bonds contains
       covenants limiting the issuance of additional indebtedness by Satelindo,
       the sale and purchase of assets, the granting of liens and other
       encumbrances and the amount of capital expenditures. The Indenture also
       requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios and insurance
       requirements. The Satelindo Bonds are secured by satellite lease
       revenues and in-orbit insurance proceeds. Satelindo has unconditionally
       guaranteed the payment of the Satelindo Bonds. The guarantee is on a
       pari passu basis with other existing and future senior indebtedness of
       Satelindo. Interest on the Satelindo Bonds is payable on a semi-annual
       basis at the rate of LIBOR plus: (i) 2.5% for the years 2000 through
       2003; (ii) 4.5% for the year 2004; (iii) 5.0% for the year 2005; and
       (iv) 5.5% for the year 2006. US$181.3 million principal amount of
       Satelindo Bonds remained outstanding as of December 31, 2002.

                                      48



   .   GECA Credit Agreement--First Tranche. On August 26, 1997, Satelindo
       entered into a loan agreement ("GECA Credit Agreement") with a
       consortium of banks led by Commerzbank AG Frankfurt am Main
       ("Commerzbank AG"). The GECA Credit Agreement provided a US$115.0
       million credit facility to be used for financing the purchase of GSM
       equipment from Siemens. The loan was made available on the basis of an
       export credit cover provided by the Federal Republic of Germany
       represented by Hermes Kreditversicherungs-Aktiengesellschaft, Hamburg
       ("Hermes"). The first drawdown was made on September 30, 1997 in the
       amount of US$70 million. Drawdowns were repayable in 17 equal and
       consecutive semi-annual installments, the first installment being due on
       April 30, 1998. In February 1999, Satelindo and Siemens agreed to
       certain amendments to the underlying purchase contract. On December 22,
       1999, Satelindo, Siemens, Commerzbank AG and Hermes agreed to divide the
       loan into two tranches. The first tranche ("Tranche I") consists of a
       US$99.7 million loan, representing the price of equipment and services
       delivered or rendered as of December 22, 1999. After restructuring,
       interest is payable on Tranche I on a semi-annual basis at the rate of
       LIBOR plus: (i) 2.5% for the years 2000 through 2003; (ii) 4.5% for the
       year 2004; (iii) 5.0% for the year 2005; and (iv) 5.5% for the year
       2006. The second tranche ("Tranche II") was not restructured and is
       described below under "--GECA Credit Agreement--Second Tranche." The
       credit facility under the GECA Credit Agreement is collateralized by
       satellite lease revenues and in-orbit insurance proceeds. As of December
       31, 2002 the outstanding principal balance was US$92.2 million.

   .   IBRA Term Loan Agreement. On August 29, 1996, Satelindo entered into an
       Investment Credit Agreement ("Investment Credit Agreement") with P.T.
       Bank Ekspor Impor Indonesia, which was later merged into Bank Mandiri.
       The Investment Credit Agreement provided for a US$70 million credit
       facility collateralized by radio base station equipment located in
       Jakarta and satellite lease revenues and in-orbit insurance proceeds.
       When Bank Mandiri was restructured in 1999, the Investment Credit
       Agreement was assigned to IBRA. On May 30, 2000, the Investment Credit
       Agreement was superseded by a term loan agreement ("IBRA Term Loan
       Agreement") pursuant to the terms of the MRA. On August 21, 2000, IBRA
       sold all of its rights, title and benefits related to the IBRA Term Loan
       Agreement to Salomon Brothers Holding Company Inc., USA ("Salomon"). The
       principal outstanding at the time of the sale was US$65.4 million.
       Subsequently, the rights, title and benefits related to the IBRA Term
       Loan Agreement were sold to several other creditors. Under the IBRA Term
       Loan Agreement, interest is payable on a semi-annual basis at the rate
       of LIBOR plus 2.5%. The principal amount outstanding as of December 31,
       2002 was US$25.9 million.

   .   BCI Term Loan Agreement. Satelindo entered into a Letter of Credit
       Agreement, dated May 13, 1997, and a term loan facility, dated September
       2, 1998, each with P.T. Bank Paribas-BBD (collectively the "Paribas-BBD
       Agreements"). Pursuant to the MRA, the Paribas-BBD Agreements were
       converted into a term loan agreement with Intesa Bci S.p.A. (formerly
       Banca Commerciale Italiana), Singapore branch ("Intesa Bci"), acting as
       the facility agent for a consortium of financial institutions ("BCI Term
       Loan Agreement"). The BCI Term Loan Agreement rescheduled and revised
       the terms of repayment of the indebtedness established under the
       Paribas-BBD Agreements and the principal amount then outstanding was
       US$45.6 million. The credit facility provided by the BCI Term Loan
       Agreement is collateralized by the cellular equipment, which was
       financed by the Paribas-BBD Agreements, satellite transponder lease
       revenues and in-orbit insurance proceeds. Under the BCI Term Loan
       Agreement, interest is payable on a semi-annual basis at the rate of
       LIBOR plus 2.5%. The principal amount outstanding as of December 31,
       2002 was US$16,195,749.

                                      49



   Repayment schedule.  The MRA establishes the schedule of principal payments
for each of the BCI Term Loan Agreement, the IBRA Term Loan Agreement, the GECA
Credit Agreement--First Tranche and the Guaranteed Floating Rate Bonds
(collectively, the "Restructured Indebtedness"). The schedule of outstanding
principal payments is set forth in the following table.

   Prepayment.  Pursuant to the MRA, Satelindo and SIB may make and, upon the
occurrence of certain events must make, prepayments of principal amounts due in
relation to the Restructured Indebtedness.

   .   Voluntary.  During any fiscal year, Satelindo and SIB may make voluntary
       prepayments according to the prepayment schedule for that year prepared
       by the calculation agent. Such payments must be in aggregate principal
       amounts of US$500,000 or more. To the extent principal prepayments are
       made, they must be made together with all accrued but unpaid interest to
       date on the amount of principal being prepaid. Prepayments of principal
       will be applied to reduce other repayments due under the MRA in inverse
       order of maturity.

   .   Mandatory.  According to the MRA, Satelindo or SIB must make mandatory
       prepayments of principal in the event either: (i) has a specified amount
       of excess cash from operations in a fiscal year; (ii) receives certain
       amounts of net proceeds from equity offerings; or (iii) receives certain
       amounts from the sale of assets in a fiscal year.

   Equity issue proceeds.  Satelindo or SIB must use a portion of the net
proceeds of equity issuances to prepay its restructured indebtedness. The
prepayment obligations vary depending on the final size of the equity
issuances. Satelindo or SIB must prepay an amount equal to: (i) 75% of any
amount of net proceeds less than US$100 million; or (ii) in the case of net
proceeds equal to or greater than US$100 million, US$75 million plus 50% of any
amount of net proceeds in excess of US$100 million but less than US$200
million; or (iii) in the case of net proceeds equal to or greater than US$200
million, US$125 million plus 33% of any amount of net proceeds in excess of
US$200 million.

   On July 25, 2002, Indosat made a capital injection to Satelindo in the
amount of US$75 million, and therefore, Satelindo must apply 75% of such
capital injection towards the prepayment of the aggregate principal

                                      50



of and accrued interest on the long-term debts. For that reason, on July 28,
2002, Satelindo made a prepayment totaling US$56.3 million to the following
creditors using the allocation stipulated in the MRA:

                      ------------------------------------


   Based on the MRA, the above-mentioned capital injection met the criteria of
a Qualified Offering (i.e., an equity issuance resulting from gross proceeds of
greater than US$75 million), which consequently caused certain of the
restrictive covenants in the MRA to be automatically waived by the creditors.
The covenants that were lifted as a result of the capital injection include
those relating to the limitation in the amount of annual capital expenditures,
certain restrictions on payments of dividends and permitted investments, and
the obligation to make a mandatory prepayment from the excess cash calculated
at each year-end.

   However, other negative and affirmative covenants still apply, including the
following:

   .   Insurance.  Satelindo must maintain insurance on its facilities at
       levels that comport with customary international practice. Such
       insurance coverage must be placed with reputable insurers and include
       satellite in-orbit insurance of: (i) no less than US$150 million through
       December 31, 2003; and (ii) no less than US$140 million on and after
       January 1, 2004.

   .   Liens.  Satelindo cannot grant a lien or allow its subsidiaries to grant
       a lien on Satelindo's or the subsidiaries' property except liens
       existing as of May 30, 2000 and certain: (i) tax liens; (ii) statutory
       liens; (iii) charges or encumbrances that do not interfere with the
       conduct of Satelindo's business; (iv) vendor or supply financing liens;
       (v) liens created pursuant to capitalized lease obligations and to
       secure other purchase-money debt; and (vi) liens granted pursuant to the
       MRA.

   .   Additional indebtedness.  Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, Satelindo
       cannot issue new indebtedness unless: (i) (a) such indebtedness is
       subordinated to the restructured indebtedness and certain other
       indebtedness of Satelindo and (b) 75% of the net proceeds of the
       issuance of the new indebtedness is used to prepay the Restructured
       Indebtedness; or (ii) such new indebtedness is incurred pursuant to
       certain agreements (including certain loan and guarantee agreements,
       which were restructured under the MRA) or subject to certain liens
       specifically identified in the MRA (including preexisting liens, certain
       property encumbrances, statutory liens and other similar charges and
       encumbrances incurred in the ordinary course of business).

   .   Dividends and distributions.  Dividends may only be paid only if all
       required prepayments of loans have been made and no event of default has
       occurred.

   .   Asset sales.  Satelindo cannot and cannot allow its subsidiaries to sell
       or purchase material assets except in the ordinary course of business
       (other than allowable capital expenditures). In addition, Satelindo must
       make prepayments in an amount equal to 75% of the net proceeds from any
       sale of assets by it or its subsidiaries, excluding proceeds: (i) from
       individual sales of less than US$500,000 or from aggregate sales for a
       fiscal year of less than US$2 million; and (ii) used to purchase assets
       functionally equivalent to those sold within two months of the original
       sale.

   .   Financial ratios.  Satelindo must maintain a debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.5
       in 2002 and 2.8 for the years 2003 through 2006. Satelindo must maintain
       an EBITDA to interest ratio of 2.7 in 2002 and 3.8 for the years 2003
       through 2006.

   Events of default.  Events of default under the MRA include: (i) failure to
repay principal or interest on the Restructured Indebtedness within five days
of such amounts becoming due; (ii) failure to perform or comply with

                                      51



the covenants set out in the MRA; (iii) any representation or warranty made by
Satelindo in the MRA proves to be false; (iv) Satelindo defaults on debt in
excess of US$1 million; (v) Satelindo or SIB is unable to pay its debts as they
fall due or is otherwise insolvent or bankrupt or involved in proceedings
related to insolvency or bankruptcy; (vi) a substantial part of Satelindo's or
SIB's assets or property are seized by relevant authorities or are attached;
(vii) the Government prohibits payments to parties outside Indonesia or
prohibits the conversion of the Rupiah into other currencies for purpose of
payments outside Indonesia; (viii) Satelindo ceases to carry on all or any
substantial part of its business; (ix) the MRA or certain related agreements
become unenforceable or Satelindo or its subsidiaries disputes their
enforceability; (x) certain liens created for the benefit of the creditors
under the MRA are not maintained; and (xi) an event of default occurs with
respect to the individual loan agreements that constitute the Restructured
Indebtedness.

  GECA Credit Agreement--Second Tranche

   Tranche II of the GECA Credit Agreement, which was not restructured,
consists of a US$12.3 million loan for equipment and services delivered or
rendered in connection with a Y2K compliance package and a billing system
upgrade. Interest on Tranche II is payable at 0.5% over the sixth-month LIBOR
rate and adjusted on a semi-annual basis. As of December 31, 2002, US$6.6
million principal amount was outstanding on Tranche II.

  Revolving Credit Facility Agreements

   On January 26, 2000, Satelindo entered into a Revolving Credit Facility
Agreement ("Alcatel Revolver") with Electro Banque, Paris, relating to a
maximum US$25 million credit facility. The facility may be used to finance the
equipment and services to be supplied by Alcatel CIT and P.T. Alcatel
Enkomindo. As of December 31, 2002, Satelindo had not drawn down this credit
facility.

IM3

   On August 7, 2002, IM3 obtained a syndicated loan facility of Rp. 1.5
trillion from several local banks with Bank Mandiri as the facility agent and
security agent, for the purpose of procurement, construction, development and
or expansion of IM3's GSM 1800 cellular network in Java, Bali, Batam and
Bintan. The loan has a term of five years and is repayable in semi-annual
installments commencing February 2005. The first to fourth installments,
payable on February and August 2005 and February and August 2006, are based on
15% each of the principal loan amount, whereas the fifth and final
installments, payable on February and August 2007, respectively, are based on
20%. As of December 31, 2002, Rp. 1.150 trillion principal amount was
outstanding on this loan facility. This loan is collateralized by (i) the
entire movable assets obtained by IM3 with the proceeds of this loan, excluding
the assets in connection with a certain sale and leaseback transaction, (ii)
insurance proceeds and (iii) certain payment reserve funds which IM3 has set
aside in an escrow account, approximately equal to the next three months'
interest.

Lintasarta

Lintasarta Convertible Bond

   On March 21, 2002, Lintasarta's shareholders approved, among others, the
declaration of dividends from year 2001 operating results amounting to Rp. 25.3
billion cash dividends amounting to Rp. 4.1 billion (net of tax) were paid on
June 3, 2002 and the remaining dividends were distributed in the form of
unsecured convertible bonds with an aggregate nominal value of Rp. 20.0 billion
were also distributed on June 3, 2002. The bonds bear interest at the annual
fixed rate of 19.0% and are payable on a quarterly basis, commencing September
3, 2002. The bonds are to be converted into common stock at par value of Rp. 1
million per share five years after the issuance date or on June 3, 2007.

                                      52



  Lintasarta's long-term debt

   In 2001, Lintasarta obtained an import sight letter of credit facility and
investment credit facility from Bank Niaga to purchase telecommunications and
computer equipment amounting Rp. 130.0 billion, wherein 10.0% of the facility
has been financed by Lintasarta itself and 90.0% of the facility, or Rp. 117.0
billion, has been financed through an investment credit facility. The import
sight letter of credit facility expired on December 31, 2002; the investment
credit facility will expire on October 16, 2005. This facility bears interest
at three-month time deposit rates guaranteed by Bank Indonesia plus 2.75%. The
repayment of principal started on January 16, 2003, with installments amounting
to Rp. 9.8 billion payable quarterly. The loan is collateralized by equipment
purchased from the proceeds of the credit facilities and receivables from frame
relay. Lintasarta is also required to obtain written approval from Bank Niaga
if (i) the combined ownership of Indosat and Yayasan Kesejahteraan Karyawan
Bank Indonesia in Lintasarta shall become less than 51% during the facility
period, (ii) Lintasarta obtains new debts and (iii) Lintasarta invests
elsewhere other than Lintasarta's current business. Lintasarta is also required
to maintain certain financial ratios and dividends distribution should not be
more than 50% of the current year's net income.

   In addition, on May 31, 2000, Lintasarta obtained Import Sight/Usance/UPAS
letter of credit and bank guarantee facilities from Bank Niaga. These
facilities are secured by time deposits. The facilities consist of the
following: (i) Import Sight/Usance/UPAS letter of credit facility amounting to
US$5.0 million for the importation of electronic and telecommunications
equipment and stand-by letter of credit amounting to US$0.1 million for the
payment to Lintasarta's supplier, and (ii) a bank guarantee facility amounting
to US$3.0 million. The Import Sight/Usance/UPAS letter of credit facility had
expired in October 2002.

Subsidiaries and Associated Companies

   Our three major subsidiaries are Satelindo, IM3, and Lintasarta. We own
effective interests of 100.0% of Satelindo, 99.94% of IM3, and 69.46% of
Lintasarta. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Satelindo, IM3 and Lintasarta
recorded revenues of Rp. 4,028 billion, Rp. 291.2 billion and Rp. 505.8
billion, respectively. The net loss for IM3 for such period was Rp. 67.5
billion, and the net income for Satelindo and Lintasarta for the same period
was Rp. 1,325 billion and Rp. 84.7 billion, respectively.

   We also maintain an ownership interest in a Kerjasama Operasi ("KSO")
project. We own a 30.6% (30.55%) interest in P.T. Mitra Global Telekomunikasi
Indonesia ("MGTI"), a joint venture company established to take part in a KSO
project with Telkom in the Central Java region. Recently, Telkom announced in
its first quarter of 2003 conference call its intention to acquire shares of
MGTI from MGTI's investors, including Indosat. However, Telkom and MGTI's
investors have not yet finalized negotiations in this respect, and it is
uncertain when, if at all, the sale of Indosat's interest in MGTI will be
consummated. For the year ended December 31, 2002, MGTI reported revenues of
Rp. 427.6 billion and a net income of Rp. 235.05 billion. In August 2002, we
completed the sale of our 13% ownership interest in P.T. Pramindo Ikat
Nusantara, a KSO project in Sumatra. See "Additional Information--Material
Contracts".

   A complete list of our subsidiaries and investees, and ownership percentage
of each entity, as of December 31, 2002, is filed as an exhibit hereto. See
also Note 9 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere
herein.

Insurance

   We carry insurance on our respective property and equipment (except
submarine cables and land rights) for US$ 1.7 billion and Rp. 2.7 trillion. For
the period June 2002 to June 2003, we have not had any insurance against
consequential loss of the insured property. We do not maintain business
interruption insurance. We generally do not anticipate having any difficulty in
renewing our insurance policies, and we believe that our insurance is
reasonable and consistent with industry standards.

                                      53



   Satelindo currently maintains in-orbit insurance on the Palapa-C2 satellite
on terms and conditions in line with industry practice. The amount insured
under the policy equals US$150 million, and coverage under the policy extends
through January 31, 2004. Because Palapa-C2 is of a class of satellite, which
has been identified as prone to satellite control processor failure,
Satelindo's satellite insurance does not cover satellite malfunction caused by
failures of this kind. Amounts payable to Satelindo under this insurance policy
have been assigned to the parties to whom such satellite revenues were pledged.

Trademarks

   We have registered trademarks for our corporate name, logo and certain
services with the Ministry of Justice in Indonesia. We believe that our
trademarks are important to our success. We have never had to defend any of our
trademarks, but we would vigorously do so if necessary.

Properties

   Except for ownership rights granted to individuals in Indonesia, the title
to land rests with the Indonesian State under the Basic Agrarian Law No.
5/1960. Land use is accomplished through landrights whereby the holder of the
landright enjoys the full use of the land for a stated period of time, subject
to renewal and extensions. In most instances, the landrights are freely
tradable and may be pledged as security under loan agreements.

   Our most important properties are located in Jakarta (international gateways
and head office), Ancol (cable station and switching center), Daan Mogot
(Satelindo's headquarters and principal facilities), Jatiluhur (satellite earth
station complex), Medan (international gateway), Pantai Cermin (earth station
and cable station), Batam (international gateway and earth station), Surabaya
(international gateway) and Banyu Urip-Gresik (earth station and cable
station). We hold registered landrights to most of our properties, the initial
periods of which range from approximately 20 to 30 years. We expect that our
landrights will be renewed at nominal costs for the foreseeable future. None of
our properties is mortgaged or otherwise encumbered.

Indonesian Telecommunications Industry

  Overview

   Since 1961, telecommunications services in Indonesia have been provided by a
succession of state-owned companies. As in other developing economies, the
expansion and modernization of telecommunications infrastructure play an
important role in Indonesia's general economic development. Moreover, the
nation's large population and rapid economic growth have led to significant
unmet demand for telecommunications services.

                                      54



   The Government has extensive regulatory authority and supervisory control
over the telecommunications sector, primarily through the MoC. The Government
has historically maintained a monopoly over telecommunications services within
Indonesia. Recent reforms have attempted to create a regulatory framework to
promote competition and accelerate the development of telecommunications
facilities and infrastructure. The regulatory reforms embodied in new
regulations, which came into effect on September 8, 2000, are intended to
increase competition by removing monopolistic controls, increase the
transparency and predictability of the regulatory framework, create
opportunities for strategic alliances with foreign partners and facilitate the
entrance of new participants to the industry, thereby creating new job
opportunities. The deregulation of the telecommunications sector is closely
linked to the national economic recovery program supported by the IMF.

   In many respects, Indonesia's economy appears to have stabilized since
1997-1998. Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") grew at an annual rate of
approximately 0.3% in 1999, 4.8% in 2000, 3.4% in 2001 and 3.7% in 2002.
Nevertheless, commentators point to strong oil prices and the weak Rupiah
(which generally supports exports) as two important factors contributing to
recent GDP growth. The Government continues to have a large fiscal deficit and
a high level of sovereign debt. Its foreign currency reserves are modest. The
Rupiah continues to be volatile and largely illiquid, and the banking sector is
weak and suffers from high levels of non-performing loans. Inflation in 2002
was 10.3%.

   Cellular penetration is low in Indonesia by international standards but has
increased rapidly in recent years. In 1999, Indonesia had a cellular
penetration of 1.1%, which is estimated to have increased to 1.7% in 2000, 3.0%
in 2001 and 5.0% in 2002. In 2002, the number of fixed lines in Indonesia was
approximately 7.75 million, representing a fixed-line penetration of 3.4%,
among the lowest in the region, a result of growth stagnation under the
previous regulatory framework.

   Currently, the following services are offered by Indonesian
telecommunications companies, but not all providers offer all
telecommunications options available to Indonesian consumers.

  PSTN

   Telkom, a majority state-owned company, owns and operates the country's only
PSTN. All telecommunications operators interconnect with Telkom's network in
order to provide access to all Indonesian fixed-line and cellular subscribers.
For example, cellular calls usually originate on, terminate on or transit
through Telkom's PSTN network. As such, all providers of cellular services have
been subject to fluctuations in capacity and line quality of the PSTN network.
With the recent deregulation of the Indonesian telecommunications industry,
however, Indosat and, to a lesser extent, other telecommunication operators,
have begun to establish their own backbone transmission services, to reduce
their dependence on Telkom's PSTN.

   In 1995, Telkom entered into agreements with five private joint venture
consortia ("KSOs"), each of which includes prominent international
telecommunications operators, to provide for the transfer of network
development and operational responsibility for the PSTN for certain regions in
Indonesia. Due to the depreciation of the Rupiah against foreign currencies,
particularly the U.S. dollar, in 1997 and thereafter, some of the KSO projects
have lost their economic viability. Telkom and the KSO partners have conducted
intense negotiations to seek alternatives for the continued operation or
termination of the KSO projects. For additional information about our
participation in two of the KSOs, see "--Subsidiaries and Associated Companies"
and "Additional Information--Material Contracts").

  Cellular services market

   The cellular market in Indonesia is currently dominated by Telkomsel,
Excelcomindo and Indosat's cellular subsidiaries, Satelindo and IM3. These
nationwide GSM operators collectively command approximately 95.0% of the
national cellular market. The number of cellular subscribers in Indonesia
totaled approximately 6.5 million at the end of 2001 and 11.4 million at the
end of 2002, representing an annual growth rate of 74.0% during that period.
Despite this rapid growth, the cellular penetration rate in Indonesia, at
approximately 5% at the end of 2002, has remained relatively low compared to
many other Asian countries and international markets.

                                      55



   According to statistics published by Telkom, as of December 31, 2002,
Telkomsel was the largest national licensed provider of GSM services in
Indonesia, with approximately six million cellular subscribers and a market
share of approximately 52% (based on the total number of Indonesian cellular
subscribers) at the end of 2002. Satelindo was the second largest provider,
with approximately 3.1 million cellular subscribers and a market share of
approximately 27.1% at the end of 2001. Excelcomindo, the third largest
provider, had approximately 1.7 million subscribers and a market share of
approximately 14.8% as of the same date. IM3, Indosat's cellular subsidiary,
was a new entrant to the GSM cellular market in 2001, and, as of December 31,
2002, IM3 had approximately 511,000 subscribers and a market share of
approximately 4.5%. In addition to the nationwide GSM operators, a number of
smaller regional GSM, analog and CDMA cellular providers operate in Indonesia.

   In part, subscriber growth in Indonesia has been driven by the "calling
party pays" system, the launch of prepaid service, as well as the introduction
of short text messaging service or SMS. The calling party pays system requires
the originators of telephone calls to pay for calls. Based on international
experience, countries which implement a calling party pays system typically
experience higher wireless penetration rates because wireless subscribers are
more likely to give out their telephone numbers and keep their handsets
switched on. Since its introduction in 1998, prepaid service has been popular
in Indonesia (as in other Asian countries) because it permits customers to
register for cellular service without undergoing a credit review. Prepaid
service is also considered to be more convenient than postpaid service, giving
customers more control over monthly expenditures. Text messaging has proven to
be extremely popular in Indonesia, particularly on the prepaid platform, as it
provides a convenient and cost-efficient alternative to voice and e-mail based
communications. Competition in the Indonesian wireless industry is based
primarily on service quality, pricing, availability of data services and
special features (such as voice mail and text messaging) as well as network
coverage.

  International calls market

   International calls providers in Indonesia generate revenues from both
inbound and outbound international call traffic. Presently, the two players
include Indosat, which offers its "001" service and Satelindo, which offers its
"008" service. Outgoing tariffs are based on rates set by the MoC, while
incoming tariffs are settled at the applicable accounting rates. All
traditional IDD (non-VoIP) international telecommunications between Indonesia
and other countries pass through the networks of Indosat or Satelindo. Outgoing
traffic is generated by fixed-line and mobile subscribers and delivered to the
two international service providers directly through international gateways or
indirectly through Telkom's PSTN. Incoming international traffic is received at
international gateways and either routed directly to its intended destination
from the gateways or indirectly through Telkom's PSTN network, or a cellular
network, through which it is ultimately switched to its intended destination.
Telkom has announced that it will begin to offer international call services
through its own network in August 2003.

   In Indonesia, as in many emerging market countries, inbound communications
traffic has exceeded outbound traffic as more developed countries generate a
disproportionate amount of international long distance traffic. Inter-operator
traffic is settled based on a concept of accounting rates, which provide a
common method of compensating the originating and terminating carrier. In
general, international long distance carriers negotiate per minute accounting
rates on a route-by-route basis with a single rate used by all carriers on that
route. This accounting rate is usually denominated in U.S. dollars or special
drawing rates ("SDRs") or Gold Franc, determined by reference to a basket of
currencies. The accounting rate framework results in countries, such as
Indonesia, which have imbalances in their international long distance traffic,
generating large net settlement revenues denominated in U.S. dollars and SDRs.
Future agreements that reduce the international accounting rates between
Indonesia and foreign countries may adversely affect Indosat's, Satelindo's and
international telecommunications providers' results of operations.

  VoIP and data communications market

   Competition from VoIP providers offering services including budget calls and
prepaid calling cards has begun and is expected to adversely affect revenues
from traditional international long distance calling revenue. Historically,
data services in Indonesia have been primarily comprised of narrow bandwidth
leased line services,

                                      56



x.25 service, digital data network service and integrated service digital
network ("ISDN") service. Charges for these services have been declining in
recent years.

   The rise of the Internet and the wider adoption of multimedia applications
are expected to increase demand for sophisticated broadband data services.
Operators in Indonesia are deploying advanced broadband networks to provide
high-end data services such as frame relay, ATM and IP service. In particular,
virtual private network ("VPN") services, using IP technologies may capture a
larger portion of the market share as they provide a reliable and
cost-effective alternative to private networks that rely on dedicated leased
lines.

   As the data communications infrastructure expands in Indonesia, demand for
VoIP services may increase. VoIP uses data communications connections to
transfer voice traffic over the Internet connection, which usually provides
substantial cost savings to subscribers. Currently, some domestic and foreign
VoIP providers offer services in Indonesia, including Telkom, Indosat,
Satelindo and several small, non-facilities based operators.

   Although the Government has implemented a licensing system to limit the
number of VoIP operators in Indonesia, the Government does not presently
control the rates charged to end users of VoIP services. However, the
Government has indicated that it is in the process of finalizing specific
regulations with respect to VoIP rates, and it is expected that such
regulations would limit VoIP tariffs to amounts that represent a maximum
discount from the then current PSTN tariffs of approximately 40%.

  Satellite services market

   In recent years, competition in the Asia-Pacific satellite business has been
intense. Companies in this business compete primarily on coverage power,
product offerings and price. The Indonesian satellite industry is loosely
regulated, and in practice operates in accordance with an "open-sky" policy.
This means that Indonesian satellite operators must compete with foreign
satellite operators.

  Industry trends

   We believe that the telecommunications industry in Indonesia will be driven
by several important trends in the future, which present major opportunities
for modern telecommunications service providers. These trends include:

   .   Continued growth in the telecommunications sector.  We believe that the
       telecommunications industry will continue to grow, as continued
       development and modernization of Indonesia's economy are expected to
       increase demand for telecommunications services. With relatively low
       fixed-line telephony and cellular penetration, Indonesia's
       telecommunications industry offers positive growth potential.

   .   Migration of voice and data traffic from fixed to wireless networks.  We
       anticipate that wireless services will become increasingly popular as a
       result of wider coverage areas and improving wireless network quality,
       declining handset costs and the proliferation of prepaid services.

   .   Increasing competition in the telecommunications sector.  We anticipate
       an increasingly competitive Indonesian telecommunications market as a
       result of the Government's regulatory reforms.

Regulation

   The Government exercises both regulatory authority and supervisory control
over the telecommunications industry in Indonesia. The legal framework for the
telecommunications industry is based on specific laws, government regulations
and ministerial decrees enacted and issued from time to time. The Government
regulates the telecommunications sector through the MoC. The MoC is responsible
for the overall supervision and regulation of the industry. Within the MoC,
various directorates and bureaus carry out specific regulatory duties. The MoC
has authority to issue implementing decrees, which are typically broad in
scope, thereby giving the MoC considerable latitude. Pursuant to such decrees,
the MoC defines the scope of Indosat's and Telkom's

                                      57



exclusivity, formulates and approves Indosat's and Telkom's tariffs, determines
Indosat's and Telkom's USOs and controls many factors affecting Indosat's and
Telkom's competitive position, operations and financial condition. The MoC, as
regulator, has the authority to grant new licenses for the establishment of new
joint ventures and other arrangements, particularly in the telecommunications
sector.

   Prior to March 1998, the Ministry of Tourism, Post and Telecommunications
(the "MTPT") was responsible for the regulation of telecommunications in
Indonesia, but, with reorganization of the Government following the 2001
General Elections, the MoC was given the regulatory responsibilities. Through
the Directorate General of Post and Telecommunications (the "DGPT"), a
directorate under the MoC, the Government regulates the radio frequency
spectrum allocation for all operators, including Indosat, which are required to
obtain a license from the DGPT for each of their services utilizing radio
frequency spectrum. The DGPT is headed by a Director General. All
telecommunications operators are also required to pay for radio frequency
spectrum usage. The Government also requires all telecommunications operators
to pay a concession license fee of 1% of its collected operating revenues.

   The overall program of telecommunications sector deregulation is closely
linked to the national economic recovery program supported by the IMF. The
national plan is documented in the Memorandum of Economic and Financial
Policies (the "MEFP"), as further clarified in the Letters of Intent to the IMF
in January and May 2000. The main focus of the MEFP is to stabilize the economy
and regain trust through a comprehensive plan based on:

   .   Deregulation;

   .   Promoting competition;

   .   Liberalization;

   .   Restructuring;

   .   Improving market access;

   .   Introducing market-oriented regulations;

   The Government's telecommunications reform policy is formulated in its
"Blueprint of the Indonesian Government's Policy on Telecommunications", dated
September 17, 1999 (the "Blueprint"). The policies stated in the Blueprint are
intended to:

   .   Increase the sector's performance in the era of globalization;

   .   Liberalize the sector with a competitive structure by removing
       monopolistic controls;

   .   Increase transparency and predictability of the regulatory framework;

   .   Create opportunities for national telecommunications operators to form
       strategic alliances with foreign partners; and

   .   Create business opportunities for small and medium enterprises and to
       facilitate new job opportunities.

   The recent regulatory reforms of the Indonesian telecommunications sector
have their foundation in the Telecommunications Law.

The Telecommunications Law

   The Telecommunications Law, as contained in Law No. 36/1999, came into
effect on September 8, 2000. It provides key guidelines for industry reforms,
including industry liberalization, facilitation of new entrants and enhanced
competition. Under the Indonesian regulatory framework, a law only outlines the
substantive principles of the subject matter. Implementation guidelines will be
further made through Government regulations,

                                      58



ministerial decrees and other forms of decrees. Therefore, the
Telecommunications Law only outlines the framework and substantive principles
for the liberalization of the telecommunications industry. The
Telecommunications Law eliminates the concept of "organizing entities", thus
ending Indosat's and Telkom's status as organizing entities with responsibility
for coordinating international and domestic telecommunications services,
respectively, for the industry. However, based on prior decrees creating
certain exclusivity entitlements, Indosat and Telkom will retain their status
as telecommunications operators subject to fulfillment of any licensing
requirements under the law.

   The Telecommunications Law specifically prohibits monopolistic practices and
unfair competition among telecommunications operators. The role of the
Government is to become that of an impartial policy maker and supervisor of
telecommunications sectors.

   As stipulated in the Telecommunications Law, an independent regulatory body
will be established to provide input in the development of telecommunications
policies and regulations. Membership of the independent regulatory body will
consist of telecommunications businesses, professional organizations,
telecommunications equipment manufacturer associations, network and service
users and telecommunications experts. The independent regulatory body will be
established based on a consensus among the telecommunications industry players
and will report to the MoC. It was generally expected that the independent
regulatory body would have been established in 2002. However, to date, no
implementing regulation for the establishment of such independent regulatory
body has been issued.

  Classification of telecommunications providers

   The Telecommunications Law classifies telecommunications providers into
three categories: (i) telecommunications network providers, (ii)
telecommunications services providers and (iii) special telecommunications
providers. Under these categories, telecommunications network operations and/or
provision of telecommunications services may be carried out by any legal entity
established for that purpose. The Telecommunications Law is expected to
eliminate artificial barriers of service bundling and pave the way for market
liberalization.

   Under the Telecommunications Law, licenses are required for each category of
telecommunications service. A telecommunications network provider is licensed
to own and/or operate a telecommunications network. The license entitles the
provider to provide services but does not require a provider to own a network
for such purpose. Therefore, such providers may elect to either construct their
own network or lease network capacity from a network operator. Special
telecommunications licenses are required for providers of private
telecommunications services or purposes relating to broadcasting and national
security interests. MoC Decree No. KM 20/2001 implements the provisions in the
Telecommunications Law regarding these new categories of telecommunications
network and services operations.

  Exclusivity

   In 1995, Telkom was granted a monopoly to provide domestic local fixed-line
telecommunications services until December 31, 2010 and DLD telecommunications
services until December 31, 2005. Indosat and Satelindo were granted a duopoly
for exclusive provision of basic international telecommunications services
until 2004.

   The Telecommunications Law did not expressly terminate the existing
exclusivity rights of Telkom, Indosat and Satelindo. In an effort to support
the undertakings of Telkom and Indosat during their respective initial public
offerings and to maintain the Government's credibility among foreign investors,
the Government announced that termination of the exclusivity rights will be
subject to agreement between the relevant incumbents and the Government,
whereby incumbents will be eligible for compensation in exchange for early
termination of these exclusivity rights.

                                      59



   On August 1, 2001, the Government through the DGPT, announced the early
termination of Telkom's and Indosat's exclusivity rights for local and DLD
telecommunications services (in the case of Telkom) and IDD (in the case of
Indosat), through MoC Decree No. KM 21/2001 ("Operation of Telecommunications
Services"). The announcement stated that the Government's intention that
Indosat will receive a license to provide local telephone services from August
2002 and a license to provide DLD services from August 2003, and that Telkom
will receive a license to provide IDD services from August 2003. The Government
has appointed an appraiser to try to resolve differences of opinion regarding
the amount of compensation, and the appraiser has submitted its report to the
Government. However, as of early June 2003, the negotiations with the
Government in connection with compensation for the early termination of the
incumbents' exclusivity rights have yet to be concluded.

  Competition

   As a result of previous regulatory provisions, Indosat and Telkom had been
granted the right to act as the organizing bodies in the telecommunications
sector, resulting in the formation of a number of joint shareholdings. However,
the Government's Blueprint for telecommunications reform calls for the
progressive elimination of these joint shareholdings to promote competition and
to avoid any actual or potential conflicts of interest that might arise in a
more competitive telecommunications sector. Several of these joint
shareholdings were unwound in 2001.

   Cellular services.  Pursuant to an agreement eliminating cross-shareholdings
in several telecommunications companies, Telkom sold its 22.5% interest in
Satelindo to Indosat and Indosat sold its 35% interest in Telkomsel to Telkom.
Tariffs will continue to be determined by a formula set by the Government.

   Fixed line services.  It is contemplated that the market will be open to
full competition with interconnection tariffs determined by the network
providers, based on a formula set by the Government. Indosat has been granted
an in-principle license for the development of local fixed-line
telecommunications. Once Indosat's local fixed line network is ready for
commercial operation, the network will be inspected by the DGPT and, if it
passes, as is expected, Indosat will be granted an operating license.

   DLD services.  It is contemplated that the market for provision of DLD
services will be liberalized in August 2003 with the termination of Telkom's
exclusivity, resulting in direct competition between Telkom and Indosat.

   IDD services.  It is contemplated that the market for provision of IDD
services will be liberalized in August 2003 with the termination of Indosat's
and Satelindo's exclusivity. It is expected that Telkom will then be allowed to
provide IDD services in direct competition with Indosat and Satelindo.

  Tariffs

   For a description of the tariff regime under the Telecommunications Law
applicable to us, see the description of tariffs under "Principal Products and
Services".

  Consumer protection

   Under the Telecommunications Law, each operator must provide guarantees for
consumer protection in relation to quality of services, usage or service fees,
compensation and other matters. The law also allows customers injured or
damaged by negligent operations to file claims against negligent providers.

  Universal Service Obligations (USO)

   Under the Telecommunications Law, all telecommunications network operators
and service providers are bound by a USO, which requires provision of
telecommunications facilities and infrastructure or other compensation to all
operators. A draft regulation with respect to USO issues has been prepared in
order to

                                      60



implement these objectives. Under the draft, the local network provider will be
responsible for network installation in the USO areas. Thereafter, costs
arising from providing networks in the USO areas will be passed onto other
network and service providers that send traffic to the recipient network
providers in the form of USO fees. This draft regulation has not yet been
finalized and is, therefore, subject to change.

  Independent regulatory body

   The Telecommunications Law contemplates the establishment of an independent
body. The role of the Government, acting through the MoC, remains in the area
of industry policy, regulation, monitoring and control. However, in
administering its duties, the Government will invite participation from the
public in the form of an independent regulatory body consisting of
telecommunications users, operators, suppliers and experts. This independent
regulatory body is expected to provide input in the process of development of
telecommunications policies and regulations. Combined with further
privatization of Telkom and Indosat, the establishment of such an independent
regulatory body is intended to reduce the Government's role in the
telecommunications industry from that of being the telecommunications
industry's financier, operator, regulator and licenser to becoming primarily
the industry's licenser and regulator.

  Interconnection arrangements

   Pursuant to the express prohibitions on activities that may create
monopolistic practices and unfair business competition, the Telecommunications
Law provides for fair interconnection of networks to allow "any to any
connectivity". Interconnection fees are to be agreed by each network provider
and calculated in a transparent manner. The Telecommunication Law provides
guidance with respect to the interconnection scheme between international
service providers and domestic service providers. Generally, interconnection
costs paid by Indosat for access to the PSTN are based on termination and
origination charging, which is determined in MoC Decree No. 37/1999, while
interconnection costs paid to mobile cellular operators are based on
negotiations between the network providers. However this interconnection scheme
is due to be re-calculated in an anticipated MoC decree on interconnection.

  Implementing regulations

   To date, the Government has issued several implementing regulations relating
to the Telecommunications Law, among others Government Regulation No. 52/2000
("Operation of Telecommunications") and Government Regulation No. 53/2000
("Utilization of Radio Frequency Spectrum and Satellite Orbit"), as well as
ministerial decrees, including Ministerial Decree No. KM 20/2001 ("Operation of
Telecommunications Networks"), No.21/2001 ("Operation of Telecommunication
Services"), No.12/2002 ("Completing MTPT Decree No. KM.79/PR-301/MPPT-95 on
Procedures for the Tariff Adjustment of Domestic Basic Telecommunications
Services"), Ministerial Decree No. KM 40/2002 ("Guidance for Tariff
Implementation of State Revenue on Tax from Cost of Utilization Right of Radio
Frequency Spectrum") and Ministerial Decree No. KM 23/2003 ("Internet Telephony
Service for Public"). The MoC and DGPT are in the process of finalizing a
number of additional ministerial decrees that are intended to implement other
aspects of the Telecommunications Law, including with respect to special
telecommunications operations, USO and interconnection.

  Satellite regulation

   The international satellite industry is highly regulated. In addition to
being subject to domestic licensing and regulation in Indonesia, the placement
and operation of Satelindo's satellite are also subject to registration with
the Radio Communications Bureau of the International Telecommunications Union
and the Intelsat consultation process.

Item 5:  OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

   The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited
consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2000,
2001 and 2002 included elsewhere herein. The audited

                                      61



consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
Indonesian GAAP, which differs in certain material respects from U.S. GAAP. See
"--Summary of Certain Material Differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S.
GAAP" and Notes 39, 40 and 41 to the audited consolidated financial statements,
included herein, for a summary of certain material differences between
Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP as such differences apply to our financial
condition and results of operations. Certain amounts (including percentage
amounts) have been rounded for convenience.

Overview

   The telecommunications market in Indonesia has undergone deregulation
following the enactment of the Telecommunications Law (No. 36) in 1999.
Historically, only Indosat and Telkom, as the incumbent public
telecommunications operators, or persons acting in cooperation with Indosat or
Telkom, had the right to provide public telephone services or build and operate
telecommunications network in Indonesia. Consistent with its moves towards
deregulation, the Government liberalized Indonesia's mobile telecommunications
market starting in 1995 and has begun the liberalization of the local fixed
network in 2002 and the DLD and IDD market in 2003.

   Due to the deregulation and low penetration rate of telephone services, the
cellular market in Indonesia has grown very rapidly. In order to capitalize on
this growth, we have changed our business strategy to emphasize our cellular
operations, instead of continuing our traditional focus on international call
services. Principally as a result of our acquisition of Satelindo in 2002, for
the year ended 2002 our cellular business contributed more revenues than
international call services for the first time in our company's development. We
intend to continue our transformation process by creating and benefiting from
synergies between Satelindo and IM3, as well as preparing for the possible
legal merger of Satelindo and IM3 into Indosat.

Critical Accounting Policies

   Our audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Indonesian GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates and
judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. We continually evaluate such estimates and
judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or actual conditions.

   We also provide a summary of significant differences between our accounting
principles and U.S. GAAP. We believe that, of our significant accounting
policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity.

  Revenue recognition

   Cellular.  Revenues from service connections (connection fees) are
recognized as income at the time the connections take place. Revenues from
usage and monthly subscription charges are recognized when earned. Prepaid
revenues, which consist of sale of starter packs and pulse reload vouchers, are
recognized as follows:

   (i) starter pack sales are recognized upon delivery of starter packs to
       distributors, dealers or directly to customers; and

  (ii) pulse reload voucher sales to dealers or customers are initially
       recorded as unearned income and then proportionately recognized as usage
       revenue based on successful calls made by the subscribers or whenever
       the unused stored value of the voucher has expired.

   Revenues from interconnections with operators (usage revenue) are recognized
monthly on the basis of the actual recorded traffic for the month.

                                      62



   International calls.  Revenues from services are accounted for on the
accrual basis. At the end of each year, income from outgoing international call
traffic is recognized on the basis of the actual recorded traffic for the year.
Adjustments from Telkom for the last two months of the year are recognized in
the following year (actual adjustments made were historically insignificant).
Income from international calls traffic from overseas international carriers,
for which statements have not been received, is estimated from historical data
(differences between the estimated and actual income were historically
insignificant).

   Operating revenues for interconnection services under interconnection
agreements which are based on revenue sharing arrangements are reported on a
net basis, after interconnection expenses and after allocations to overseas
international carriers. Operating revenues for interconnections that are not
made under contractual sharing agreements, i.e. based on tariffs as stipulated
by the Government, are reported on a gross basis, before interconnection
expenses but after allocations to overseas international carriers. These
interconnection expenses are accounted for as operating expenses in the year
incurred.

   MIDI and other services.  Satellite revenues are recorded in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the transponder lease agreement between Satelindo
and each of its customers. Revenue from the sale of software and services is
recognized when the software is installed or the services are delivered to the
customers. Revenue for consulting services is recognized based on the
percentage-of-completion method. Revenues from other MIDI services and Other
services are recognized when the services are rendered.

   Accounting practices and guidance with respect to the accounting treatment
of the above transactions is evolving. Any changes in the accounting treatment
could affect the manner in which we account for revenues associated with these
transactions in the future.

  Goodwill

   Whenever we acquire a subsidiary which is not an entity under common
control, any excess of acquisition cost over our interest in the fair value of
the subsidiary's identifiable assets, net of liabilities, as of the acquisition
date is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is amortized over a five-year period
using the straight-line method. We review the carrying amount of goodwill
whenever events or circumstances indicate that its value is impaired.
Impairment loss is recognized as a charge to current operations.

  Allowance for doubtful accounts

   Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on management's evaluation
of the collectability of the accounts at the end of the year. We maintain an
allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that result from the
inability of our customers to make required payments. We base our allowance on
the likelihood of recoverability of accounts receivable based, in part, on past
experience and current collection trends that are expected to continue. If
economic or specific industry trends deteriorate beyond our estimates, actual
losses could exceed estimated losses, and we would need to increase our
allowance for doubtful accounts by recording an additional expense.

  Estimated useful lives of property and equipment

   We estimate the useful lives of property and equipment to determine the
amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during each reporting period.
Useful lives are estimated at the time the asset is acquired and are based on
historical experience with similar assets, taking into account anticipated
technological or other changes. If technological changes occur more rapidly
than anticipated or in a different form than anticipated, the useful lives
assigned to these assets may need to be shortened, resulting in the recognition
of increased depreciation expense in future periods. Alternatively, these types
of technological changes could result in the recognition of an impairment
charge to reflect the write-down in value of the asset.

  Investments

   Investments in shares of stock in which the Company has an equity interest
of at least 20%, but not exceeding 50%, are accounted for under the equity
method, whereby the investment cost is increased or decreased by the Company's
share of the net earnings or losses of the investees since the date of
acquisition and decreased by dividends received. Equity in net earnings
(losses) is being adjusted for the straight-line amortization, over five years,
of the difference between the cost of such investment and the Company's
proportionate share in the underlying fair value of the net assets at the date
of acquisition (goodwill).

   Investments in shares of stock in which the equity interest is less than
20%, and other long-term investments are carried at cost. The carrying amount
of the investments is written down to recognize any permanent decline in the
value of individual investments. Any such write-down is charged directly to
current operations.

  Pension plan

   Pension costs are accounted for on a basis consistent with SAK 24,
"Accounting for Pension Benefit Cost". Under the defined benefit pension plan,
the pension costs are determined by periodic actuarial calculation using the
projected-unit-credit method and applying the assumptions on discount rate,
expected return on plan assets and annual rate of increase in compensation. The
unrecognized net obligation at the date of initial application of SAK 24 is
amortized over the estimated average remaining service periods of the
employees. On the other hand, under the defined contribution pension plan, the
contributions are made by the employees at amounts ranging from 10%-20% of the
employees' basic monthly salaries.

Business and Operating Environment

   Starting in 2002, our business changed significantly, from primarily being
an international telecommunication provider to becoming a more
cellular-focused, fully-integrated telecommunications full network and services
provider. We are now providing cellular, international calls, MIDI and other
value added services and competing with other players such as Telkom, Telkomsel
and Excelcom in providing such services. Currently, Indosat, directly and
indirectly, holds 100% of Satelindo, the second largest cellular operator in
Indonesia with around 3.1 million subscribers as at December 31, 2002. Indosat
also owns 99.4% of IM3, the fourth largest cellular provider in Indonesia with
around 0.5 million subscribers as at December 31, 2002.

   The transformation has guided Indosat to focus more on the cellular
business, as reflected by our operating revenues. For the year ended December
31, 2002, revenues from cellular services accounted for 48.3% of our total
revenues, while revenues from international calls, MIDI, and other services
accounted for 31.6%, 18.7%, and 1.4%, respectively. In 2001, cellular,
international calls, MIDI and other services accounted for 34.4%, 42.0%, 21.5%,
and 2.1% respectively. The substantial increase in the amount of our total
revenues coming from cellular services is in line with our strategy to become a
"Cellular-focused, Fully Integrated Network and Services Provider". We expect
the revenue contribution from our cellular businesses to increase in the future
relative to our other business lines.

  Government regulation

   The MoC is the principal regulator of the telecommunications industry in
Indonesia and is responsible for setting and adjusting tariff levels. Regulated
tariffs include, among others, those for activation fees, monthly fees, airtime
usage fees, interconnection fees and domestic and international long distance
telephony rates. These tariff levels are subject to periodic review and
adjustment. Since a significant portion of our operating revenues depend on
tariff levels established by the Government, any future changes in the
Government's tariff policies could affect our financial condition. Prepaid
cellular services prices are regulated by reference to postpaid tariff
policies, and, although not directly regulated by the Government, our revenues
from prepaid cellular services could be affected by future changes in the
Government's tariff policies.

                                      64



   The detailed Government tariff rates, categorized by different services, are
included in "Information on the Company--Principal Products and Services".
Tariff rates set by the Government may be changed in the near future due to
further deregulation of the telecommunications sector in Indonesia. Such future
changes, if they occur, may affect our operating revenues. See "Key
Information--Risk factors--Risks relating to Indosat and its subsidiaries--The
Government may adjust or fail to adjust tariffs resulting in an adverse effect
on our financial condition and results of operations".

  Domestic inflation

   Our management does not believe that domestic inflation has had a material
impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations due to its
limited effect on our cost structure. Indonesia's inflation rates in 2000, 2001
and 2002 were 9.4%, 12.6% and 10.03% respectively. No assurances can be given
that we will be protected in the future against inflationary pressures, which
may increase our expenses and reduce demand for our services. We may be unable
to offset such higher costs through rate increases, some of which are regulated
by the Government. The inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

  Foreign exchange volatility

   Businesses in Indonesia that incur expenses payable in currencies other than
Rupiah and as against which the value of the Rupiah has declined, and whose
revenues are all or substantially all in Rupiah, were among the first and most
adversely affected by the Asian economic crisis beginning in 1997. In periods
in which the value of the Rupiah declines as against the U.S. dollar, the
Rupiah value of expenses payable in U.S. dollars will increase by the same
factor, thereby requiring such companies to convert more Rupiah to pay their
U.S. dollar obligations. The Rupiah experienced a severe depreciation at the
outset of the Asian financial crisis in late 1997 and continues to experience
periods of volatility. During the period between January 1, 1997 through
December 31, 2002, the Rupiah/U.S. dollar exchange rate ranged from a high of
Rp. 14,900 per U.S. dollar to a low of Rp. 2,396 per U.S. dollar, and, during
the year 2002, ranged from a high of Rp. 10,473 per U.S. dollar to a low of Rp.
8,460 per U.S. dollar. On December 31, 2002, the Indonesian Central Bank Rate
was Rp. 8,940 per U.S. dollar, a 14.0% increase from Rp. 10,400 per U.S. dollar
on December 31, 2001 and a 6.8% increase from Rp. 9,595 per U.S. dollar on
December 31, 2000. See "Key Information--Risk factors--Risks related to
Indonesia--Devaluation or volatility of the Rupiah, especially as against the
U.S. dollar, may adversely affect our financial results and operations".

   We recorded a foreign exchange gain-net of Rp. 462.8 billion, Rp. 524.1
billion, and Rp. 393.8 billion in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. For the
year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded Satelindo's foreign exchange loss-net
related to its exposure to currency fluctuations as a result of its U.S. dollar
liabilities. However, such net foreign exchange losses were reduced
significantly by a one-time foreign exchange gain resulting from a settlement
of a lease dispute with Telkom at a favorable U.S. dollar exchange rate that
Satelindo recorded as a U.S. dollar liability at the prevailing exchange rate
prior to settlement. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded
Satelindo's foreign exchange gain-net, which was primarily due to the
revaluation of Satelindo's U.S. dollar and other foreign currency denominated
debts at year end 2002, as the Rupiah had appreciated against the U.S. dollar
and other currencies during the year of 2002. Our consolidated long-term
foreign currency-denominated debt increased significantly following the
acquisition of Satelindo, thereby increasing our exposure to foreign exchange
rate volatility as against earlier periods.

   Monetary assets subject to foreign currency exposure were US$223.9 million
at December 31, 2002 and monetary liabilities subject to foreign currency
exposure were US$588.2 million at December 31, 2002. The monetary assets
primarily consisted of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable from
foreign telecommunications carriers, as well as our foreign currency
denominated account receivables. The monetary liabilities are comprised of
accounts payable, long-term debts and bonds payable. For any specific period,
the level of net monetary assets is heavily influenced by the extent to which
incoming calls exceed outgoing calls in our IDD business and our foreign
currency denominated source of revenues.

                                      65



   Historically, a portion of operating revenues has been U.S.
dollar-denominated or U.S. dollar-linked, which we believe mitigates our
foreign exchange exposure to some degree. Indosat and certain of our
subsidiaries generate operating revenues in U.S. dollars (or U.S. dollar-linked
payments in Rupiah) from foreign carriers for inbound international calls,
roaming by foreign carriers' subscribers in Indonesia and operating revenues
from our international data services and satellite operations. U.S.
dollar-linked revenues are based on U.S. dollar rates billed in Rupiah at the
prevailing U.S. dollar to Rupiah exchange rate.

   We do not customarily engage in currency hedging activities, although we
have done so to a limited extent in the past. While we may enter into hedging
arrangements in the future, our management believes that certain constraints in
the Indonesian financial markets combined with the volatility of the Rupiah
either prevent us from being able to hedge currency risk consistently and
comprehensively, or make such hedging transactions prohibitively expensive. At
the subsidiary level, Satelindo currently converts any surplus Rupiah funds to
U.S. dollars on a regular basis and Lintasarta has hedged its U.S.
dollar-denominated liabilities to avoid foreign currency and interest rate
exposure. For a description of Lintasarta's hedging arrangements, see
"Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk".

   Our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations, particularly as against the
U.S. dollar, may increase if we incur additional U.S. dollar-denominated debt
to finance our cellular services expansion plans.

  Interest rate sensitivity

   Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations results primarily from debt owed
by Satelindo, Lintasarta, and to a lesser extent, Indosat. Since interests of
major credit facilities of Satelindo, Lintasarta and Indosat are payable at
LIBOR, or are time deposit rates plus applicable margins, the exposure to such
credit facilities is affected by fluctuations in LIBOR and relevant time
deposit rates. See Notes 15 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere herein. The Company and its subsidiaries, as of December 31,
2002, hold U.S. dollar and Rupiah denominated deposits, which are also having
exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

Overview of Operations

  Operating revenues

   We generate operating revenues primarily by providing cellular,
international calls, and MIDI services. Operating revenues from cellular
services represented 34.4% and 48.3% of total operating revenues for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Operating revenues from
international calls services represented 73.0%, 42.0% and 31.6% of total
operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002,
respectively. Operating revenues from MIDI services represented 24.5%, 21.5%,
and 18.7% of total operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000,
2001 and 2002, respectively. The following table sets forth information
relating to operating revenues from each business division:

          ------------------------------------------------------------


   Cellular services.  Cellular services operating revenues is derived from
usage charges, features, interconnection income, monthly subscription charges,
connection fees, and others charged by Satelindo and IM3 to their cellular
customers. These different sources of cellular revenues contributed Rp. 1,248.0
billion, Rp. 139.0

                                      66



billion, Rp.230.1 billion, Rp. 78.7 billion, Rp. 66.3 billion and Rp. 7.7
billion, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2001, and Rp. 2,139.5
billion, Rp. 538.6 billion, Rp. 375.7 billion, Rp. 116.3 billion, Rp. 87.7
billion and Rp. 13.9 billion, respectively, for the year ended December 31,
2002. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Satelindo accounted for 90.6% of
our total cellular services operating revenues, while IM3 contributed the
remaining 9.4%.

   Satelindo's revenues from cellular services increased primarily due to
increases in Satelindo's total number of subscribers and growing
interconnection and features and data communication revenues. We believe that
Satelindo's revenues from cellular services will continue to increase as a
percentage of our total revenues as its geographic coverage and cellular
network capacity expands and the number of cellular subscribers increases.

   IM3 launched its services in late 2001. In 2002, IM3's revenues from usage
increased due primarily to increases in IM3's total number of subscribers and
also from growing features/value add service revenues. Interconnection income
also increased, primarily caused by an increased volume of incoming traffic
from other operators. Monthly subscription charges increased as IM3 launched
postpaid services in 2002. Connection fees, which represent one-time revenues
for new subscribers, increased primarily due to subscriber growth during 2002.

   International calls services.  Our international calls services are
comprised of Indosat's "001" and Satelindo's "008" IDD services as well as
Indosat's operator-assisted and value-added services. Operating revenues depend
on the total minutes of call volume generated for outgoing and incoming calls
and the tariffs and rates charged for such calls. Total international call
volume declined in 2002 from 2001, continuing a trend seen worldwide and in
Indonesia. Decreasing call volumes, combined with stable tariff rates, resulted
in declining operating revenues from international calls services for the year
ended December 31, 2002 compared to the previous year.

   Operating revenues generated by Indosat's and Satelindo's international
calls services have two primary sources, incoming calls revenues and outgoing
calls revenues. For most outgoing calls, we receive payments from domestic
carriers, including Telkom and other domestic operators. For net settlements,
we receive payments from foreign telecommunications carriers. For the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, approximately 90.1% (Rp. 1,942.9 billion) and
83.90% (Rp. 1,794.6 billion), respectively, of our international calls services
operating revenues originated from payments made by Telkom and other domestic
operators for outgoing calls. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002,
approximately 9.9% (Rp. 214.5 billion) and 16.1% (Rp. 343.3 billion),
respectively, of such operating revenues originated from net settlements with
foreign telecommunications carriers in connection with incoming and outgoing
international call volume.

   International outgoing call volume increased 0.7% in 2001 from 2000, but
decreased by 8.5% in 2002. International incoming call volume decreased 13.6%
during 2001 from 2000, and increased in 2002, by 17.4%. Several factors
contributed to decreasing call volumes, including the increased market share
held by VoIP providers. We believe that during 2000, 2001 and 2002, increasing
competition from VoIP providers significantly affected the mix of incoming and
outgoing calls. Political and general economic conditions also affected demand
for incoming and outgoing calls. Fluctuations in Rupiah exchange rates and
tariff increases affected the "real" tariff (converted to U.S. dollars) and
affected the demand for outgoing calls.

   Further, worldwide and Indonesian trends indicate increased usage of VoIP
services and a corresponding decrease in the usage of traditional international
long distance services. The cost structure for providers of VoIP services is
lower than for traditional fixed-line operators and as such, VoIP services are
customarily offered at significant cost savings compared to traditional
international long distance services. We believe that increased competition
from VoIP operators contributed to declining IDD call volume in past periods
and will continue to do so in the future, as more VoIP operators enter the
market and as VoIP call quality improves.

   Decreasing accounting rates may also adversely affect operating revenues
from international calls services. We receive interconnection settlements based
on established accounting rates, which are based on agreements

                                      67



between telecommunications providers. These agreements are subject to periodic
renegotiations and, in recent years, certain foreign telecommunications
carriers have been seeking reductions in accounting rates. For example, in
2001, we complied with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission order ("FCC
Order") issued in 1997, related to the reduction of settlement rates between
the United States and other jurisdictions. During 2001, Indosat reduced its
accounting rate by 36.0% on a weighted-average basis, in compliance with the
FCC Order. In 2002, Indosat reduced its accounting rates by a further 24.4% on
a weighted-average basis. We anticipate that basic accounting rates will
continue to decrease, which may adversely affect our international calls
revenues.

   MIDI services.  Our MIDI services operating revenues are generated primarily
by high-speed leased lines and frame relay services operated by Indosat and
Lintasarta, digital data network operated by Lintasarta, satellite lease
revenues from Satelindo and internet services provided by Indosat Mega Media
and Lintasarta. Operating revenues from these services are comprised of
fixed-cost charges for high-speed leased lines, or a combination of fixed fees
and volume charges for other services. In most instances, a connection fee is
charged when the service is installed or moved. Thereafter, a monthly fee is
assessed, together with applicable usage fees calculated according to
bandwidth, volume, duration or type of plan. Revenue from leased line services
is derived from monthly fixed-cost charges based on the distance of the line,
the speed/bandwidth capability of the line, the type of line service provided
and whether the service site is local or international, and site installation
charges.

   Satelindo records satellite revenues in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the separate transponder lease agreements between it and its
customers. Monthly rent for satellite transponder capacity is based primarily
on the leased capacity. Satellite customers are generally billed in advance on
a quarterly basis, but revenues from such contracts are accrued and
consequently recorded as sales by Satelindo on a monthly basis. Certain lessees
of satellite transponder capacity have been adversely affected by the
devaluation of their local currency as their lease obligations were denominated
in U.S. dollars while their revenues were denominated principally in their
local currency. Satelindo has experienced some defaults by lessees and either
has renegotiated leases or taken legal action against the lessee in such cases.

   Other services.  Operating revenues generated by international telex and
telegram services, global mobile services and sales of software are categorized
as other services operating revenues. For international telex services, we
charge customers the current tariff based on the number of minutes used for
transmission. For international telegram services, we charge customers the
current tariff based on the number of words transmitted. Customers of the
global mobile service are charged according to the U.S. dollar-denominated
tariff based on the minutes used for calls made from such customer's mobile
terminal to the terminated destination. In addition to these services, P.T.
Sisindosat Lintasbuana ("Sisindosat") contributes operating revenues from the
sale of software.

  Operating expenses

   Telecommunications businesses in Indonesia, including ours, generally incur
expenses, which are denominated in U.S. dollars, or currencies other than the
Rupiah. Such expenses may include those for interconnection settlements,
certain maintenance agreements, certain leases for office and network equipment
sites and consultancy fees. These other costs will increase or decrease in
Rupiah terms commensurate with increases and decreases in the value of the
Rupiah as against other currencies. Our principal operating expenses include
depreciation, personnel costs, compensation to telecommunication carriers and
service providers, administrative and general expenses, maintenance, leased
circuits, marketing and other cost of services.

   Indosat depreciates its property, facilities and equipment using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, commencing the month
after such assets were placed into service and after taking into consideration
their estimated residual value. For instance, submarine cables and switching
equipment are depreciated over a period of 15 years, while base station
subsystems are depreciated from five to 15 years. Most of Satelindo's cellular
services assets are depreciated based on a useful life of eight years.

                                      68



   Our depreciation expense for 2002 of Rp. 1,723.9 billion consists of Rp.
932.1 billion from Satelindo, Rp. 530.9 billion from Indosat, 152.5 billion
from IM3, Rp. 91.2 billion from Lintasarta, and the remaining Rp. 17.2 billion
from other subsidiaries. Our total depreciation expenses reflect the
significant increase in the assets we now own after consolidating Satelindo,
IM3 and Lintasarta's assets. Satelindo's actual charges for depreciation of
capital plant and equipment increased only moderately in 2002 over 2001. To the
extent that Satelindo improves, adds to or replaces its equipment in the
future, it may record higher costs, and therefore higher charges for
depreciation, than it did in the past when it acquired comparable major capital
assets.

   Personnel costs include fixed salaries, benefits, allowances, pensions,
annual holiday allowance expenses, personnel tax expenses and insurance. For
the year ended December 31, 2002, our personnel cost of Rp. 687.2 billion
consisted of Indosat's expenses totaling Rp. 383.6 billion, Satelindo's
expenses totaling 160.5 billion, Lintasarta's expenses totaling Rp. 71.4
billion, IM3's expenses totaling Rp. 50.3 billion and Rp. 21.4 billion in
personnel costs from our other subsidiaries.

   Compensation to telecommunications carriers and service providers represents
amounts paid to other operators for calls from our network to the third party
network or for providing access to the other operators' subscribers to our
network. Other expenses charged by Telkom relate to the billings for the use of
network, infrastructure rental and billing processing services provided by
Telkom. Other expenses charged by other telecommunications carriers mainly
consist of billings for the use of their network. Indosat, Satelindo and IM3
have interconnection arrangements with domestic and overseas operators. The
operating revenues from interconnection services are presented on a net basis,
except for those which are based on tariffs as stipulated by the Government. In
2002, the interconnection expenses to telecommunications carriers and service
providers was Rp. 609.6 billion, which consisted of 428.8 billion from Indosat,
Rp. 79.0 billion from Satelindo, Rp. 99.4 billion from Lintasarta, and Rp.2.4
billion from IM3.

   Administration and general expenses primarily include provision of doubtful
accounts, office supplies and stationery, professional fees, rent, travel and
training, education and research. For the year ended December 31, 2002, our
administration and general expenses totaled Rp. 454.4 billion, consisting of
Indosat's expenses totaling Rp. 157.5 billion, Satelindo's expenses totaling
Rp. 197.8 billion, IM3's expenses totaling Rp.56.9 billion and Rp.42.2 billion
of such expenses from our other subsidiaries. We maintain a provision for
doubtful accounts for potential uncollectibility of our receivables. Provisions
for doubtful accounts amounted to Rp. 28.6 billion, Rp. 19.5 billion and Rp.
75.7 billion for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

   Maintenance expenses include maintenance of our fixed assets, including
buildings, submarine cables, telecommunications equipment, office equipment and
vehicles. For the year ended December 31, 2002, our maintenance expense totaled
Rp.303.0 billion, consisting of Indosat's expenses totaling Rp.86.9 billion,
Satelindo's expenses totaling Rp. 171.7 billion, IM3's expenses totaling
Rp.27.2 billion, Lintasarta's expenses totaling Rp.15.9 billion and Rp.1.4
billion of such expenses from our other subsidiaries. Satelindo's maintenance
expenses consisted primarily of investments in the maintenance of Satelindo's
assets attributable to network expansion and aging.

   Leased circuit expenses include expenses related to our leases for satellite
channels and submarine cables. For the year ended December 31, 2002, leased
circuit expenses totaled Rp.192.2 billion, consisting of Indosat's expenses
totaling Rp.107.4 billion, Satelindo's expenses totaling Rp. 28.6 billion,
IM3's expenses totaling Rp.30.6 billion, Lintasarta's expenses totaling Rp.1.7
billion and IM2's expenses totaling Rp.23.9 billion.

   Marketing expenses include exhibition, promotion and advertisement expenses
associated with our marketing programs. For the year ended December 31, 2002,
marketing expenses totaled Rp.148.9 billion, consisting Indosat's expenses
totaling Rp.27.5 billion, Satelindo's expenses totaling Rp.65.5 billion, IM3's
expenses totaling Rp.46.4 billion and Rp.9.6 billion from other subsidiaries.

   Other cost of services expenses include the cost of SIM cards and pulse
reload vouchers, radio frequency licenses, rents and utilities. For the year
ended December 31, 2002, other cost of services expenses totaled

                                      69



Rp. 735.9 billion, consisting of Indosat's expenses totaling Rp. 102.9 billion,
Satelindo's expenses totaling Rp. 438.5 billion, IM3's expense totaling Rp.
71.8 billion, Lintasarta's expense totaling Rp. 42.0 billion, Sisindosat's
expense totaling Rp. 69.7 billion and Rp. 11.0 billion of such expenses from
our other subsidiaries.

   For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded Other Expenses totaling
Rp. 640.6 billion primarily due to higher non cash expenses, such as
amortization of goodwill amounting to Rp. 753.5 billion, provision for doubtful
interest receivable from convertible bonds of Rp. 287.8 billion and adjustment
of account receivable-trade from Telkom of Rp. 118.0 billion, as well as
interest expense of Rp. 566.9 billion and others-net expenses of Rp. 130.5
billion. Interest income of Rp. 822.3 billion and gain on foreign exchange-net
of Rp. 393.8 billion offset the aforementioned expenses, resulting in net other
expenses of Rp. 640.6 billion.

  Taxation

   In accordance with Indonesian GAAP, we have adopted the liability method in
accounting for income tax. We adopted the liability method to reflect the tax
effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax loss
carry-over that can result in taxable amounts or deductible amounts in
determining taxable profit of future periods when the carrying amount of the
asset or liability is recovered or settled. The tax effects for a certain year
are allocated to current operations, except for the tax effects from specific
acquisitions and dispositions, which are charged or credited to stockholders'
equity. An example of such credit is the gain on the sale of Telkomsel, which
is credited to stockholders' equity under the line item entitled "Difference in
Value from Restructuring Transactions of Entities under Common Control". For
each of the consolidated entities, the tax effects of temporary differences and
tax loss carry-over, which individually are either assets or liabilities, are
shown at the applicable net amounts.

                                      70



  Year ended December 31, 2002 compared to year ended December 31, 2001

   Effective May 31, 2001, the net assets of Satelindo and its subsidiaries
were consolidated because our effective ownership had increased to 75%. Prior
to May 31, 2001, our 30% equity interest in Satelindo was accounted for using
the equity method. In 2002, the net assets of Satelindo and its subsidiaries
were consolidated due to Indosat's 75% ownership in Satelindo from January 1,
2002 until June 28, 2002. This was subsequently increased to 100%, starting
from June 20, 2002, following the acquisition of the remaining 25% in Satelindo
from DeTeAsia. As a result, financial figures for years ended December 31, 2002
and 2001 are not directly comparable.

   In 2001, we recognized goodwill, which reflects the excess between the
acquisition cost over the fair book values of the identifiable net assets
acquired at the date of such acquisition for the acquisition of Bimagraha
(Bimagraha's main and only assets are 45% shares of Satelindo), which will be
amortized over a five-year period using the straight line method. In 2002, we
also recognized goodwill for the acquisition of the remaining 25% in Satelindo
from DeTe Asia, which will be amortized over a five-year period using the
straight-line method. As of December 31, 2002, goodwill-net of amortization was
Rp. 3.712 trillion.

  Operating Revenues

   Overall revenues increased from Rp. 5,138.1 billion in 2001 to Rp. 6,767.0
billion in 2002, primarily due to consolidation of Satelindo's cellular
services revenues from June to December in 2001 and the launch of IM3. During
this same period, revenues from MIDI services also contributed to this
increase, while slight decreases in revenues from international calls services
slightly offset the increase.

   Cellular services.  For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded
cellular operating revenues totaling Rp. 3,271.7 billion, which represented
48.3% of our total operating revenues or an increase of Rp. 1,501.8 billion
from Rp. 1,769.9 billion in 2001. Satelindo contributed 90.6% to our total
cellular revenues in 2002, and the remaining 9.4% was contributed by IM3.

   As of December 31, 2002, cellular business reported a growth of
approximately 87% in number of subscribers as compared to the prior year. As of
December 31, 2002, the Indosat group had 3,582,651 subscribers, a net addition
of approximately 1,665,651 subscribers during 2002. The major increase in the
number of subscribers were a result of network roll-out and our expansion
program, followed by an aggressive marketing and sales effort at both Satelindo
and IM3.

   International calls services.  Operating revenues from international calls
services decreased by Rp. 19.6 billion, or 0.9%, from Rp. 2,157.5 billion in
2001 to Rp. 2,137.9 billion in 2002. International calls services revenue
represented 31.6% of operating revenues in 2002, compared to 42.0% in 2001.
Total call volume from Indosat and Satelindo increased by 5.4%, from 682.1
million minutes in 2001 to 718.7 million minutes in 2002. However, the decrease
in revenues of Rp. 19.6 billion was mainly due to the continuing decrease in
accounting rates, thereby reducing our net settlement revenues. Total incoming
traffic from Indosat and Satelindo increased by 17.4% from 365.8 million
minutes in 2001 to 429.4 million minutes in 2002 due to a higher volume
commitment, and "win-back" program. Outgoing traffic of Indosat and Satelindo
decreased by 8.5% from 316.2 million minutes in 2001 to 289.3 million minutes
in 2002, due to slower economic growth and increased VoIP activities.

   MIDI services.  In 2002, operating revenues from MIDI services represented
18.7% of total operating revenues. Operating revenues from MIDI services
increased by Rp. 157.9 billion, or 14.3%, from Rp. 1,105.1 billion in 2001 to
Rp. 1,263.0 billion in 2002, primarily due to increased frame relay and
satellite transponder lease revenues. Frame relay revenue is generated by
Indosat and Lintasarta. For the year ended December 31, 2002, frame relay
contributed Rp. 285.5 billion or increased from Rp. 209.2 billion from the year
ended December 31, 2001. Satelindo contributed satellite lease revenues
totaling Rp. 186.7 billion and Rp. 201.5 billion for the years ended December
31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. World Link and Direct Link revenues decreased

                                      71



from Rp. 311.1 billion in 2001 to Rp. 302.7 billion in 2002 due to our customer
migration to more economical alternate services, such as frame relay. Its
contribution to total MIDI services revenues also declined from 28.1% in 2001
to 24.0% in 2002.

   Other services.  Operating revenues from other services decreased from Rp.
105.6 billion in 2001 to Rp. 94.4 billion in 2002. As of December 31, 2002,
revenues from other services represented 1.4% of total operating revenues.
Revenues from international telex and telegram services continue to erode as
customers migrate to other higher-quality services offered at lower prices.

  Operating expenses

   Operating expenses increased by Rp. 1,545.8 billion, or 46.7%, from Rp.
3,309.3 billion in 2001 to Rp. 4,855.1 billion in 2002, primarily due to
increased expenses for depreciation, personnel, leased circuits, other cost of
services, marketing and administration and general expenses. Additionally, all
items in operating expenses increased significantly in 2002 compared to 2001,
principally as a result of the consolidation of Satelindo in 2002. Another
reason for the increase was due to IM3's operating expenses in 2002, as IM3
only started operations in August 2001.

   Depreciation expenses increased 70.4% from Rp. 1,011.6 billion in 2001 to
Rp. 1,723.9 billion in 2002. We recorded depreciation expenses of Rp.932.1
billion from Satelindo, Rp.530.9 billion from Indosat, Rp.152.5 billion from
IM3, Rp.91.2 billion from Lintasarta and the remaining Rp.17.2 billion from
other subsidiaries. Satelindo's depreciation expenses included capitalized
interest and foreign exchange gains or losses. The depreciation expenses of
Indosat relates primarily to depreciation of its submarine cables,
telecommunication equipment, switching equipment and office equipment.

   Personnel costs increased by Rp. 190.9 billion, or 38.5%, from Rp. 496.3
billion in 2001 to Rp. 687.2 billion in 2002. Personnel costs increased
primarily due to increased salaries and allowances for employees and the
increase in total number of our employees from 5,550 in 2001 to 5,980 in 2002.
We recorded personnel expenses of Rp.383.6 billion from Indosat, Rp.160.5
billion from Satelindo, Rp.71.4 billion from Lintasarta, Rp.50.3 billion from
IM3, and Rp.21.4 billion in personnel costs from our other subsidiaries.
Included in the personnel costs are salaries, pensions, bonuses, personnel
taxes and allowances for regional cost of living expenses.

   Expenses due to compensation to telecommunications carriers and service
providers increased from Rp. 597.5 billion in 2001 to Rp. 609.6 billion in
2002, or 2.0%. The slight increase in compensation expenses and its small
contribution of 12.6% to total operating expenses was mainly due to the
implementation of cellular revenue recognition under the net method in 2002. We
recorded compensation expenses of Rp. 428.8 billion from Indosat, Rp.79.0
billion from Satelindo, Rp.99.4 billion from Lintasarta and Rp.2.4 billion from
IM3 in 2002.

   Administrative and general expenses increased by Rp. 187.1 billion, or
70.0%, from Rp. 267.3 billion in 2001 to Rp. 454.4 billion in 2002, primarily
due to an increase in allowances for doubtful accounts--trade amounting to Rp.
75.7 billion during 2002. We recorded administrative and general expenses of
Rp.157.5 billion from Indosat, Rp.197.8 billion from Satelindo, Rp.56.9 billion
from IM3 and Rp.42.2 billion of such expenses from our other subsidiaries.

   Maintenance expenses increased moderately by Rp. 16.4 billion, or 5.7%, from
Rp. 286.6 billion in 2001 to Rp. 303.0 billion in 2002, primarily due to
significantly higher costs of submarine cable maintenance, switching,
transmission equipment for cellular services and other telecommunication
equipment. Satelindo contributed Rp.171.7 billion, or 56.7%, to our maintenance
expenses.

   Leased circuits expenses increased by Rp. 58.4 billion, or 43.6%, from Rp.
133.8 billion in 2001 to Rp. 192.2 billion in 2002, due to the consolidation of
Satelindo and IM3's operations, and the increase in the number of leased
circuits necessary to support our increased internet volume.

                                      72



   Marketing expenses increased by Rp. 48.5 billion, or 48.3%, from Rp. 100.4
billion in 2001 to Rp. 148.9 billion in 2002, due to the consolidation of
Satelindo, and high marketing expenses associated with IM3's brand-building in
2002. In 2002, Satelindo contributed Rp.65.5 billion to our marketing expenses,
while IM3 contributed Rp.46.4 billion.

   Other cost of services expenses increased by Rp. 320.1 billion, or 77.0%,
from Rp. 415.8 billion in 2001 to Rp. 735.9 billion in 2002. We recorded other
costs of services expenses of Rp.102.9 billion from Indosat, Rp.438.5 billion
from Satelindo, Rp.71.8 billion from IM3, Rp.42.0 billion from Lintasarta,
Rp.69.7 billion from Sisindosat and Rp.11.0 billion of such expenses from our
other subsidiaries. The increase in the cost of SIM cards sold and reload pulse
vouchers and increase in concession fees and radio frequency licenses are,
among others, the primary cause of such increases.

  Operating income

   Operating income increased by Rp. 83.0 billion, or 4.5%, from Rp. 1,828.8
billion in 2001 to Rp. 1,911.8 billion in 2002. We attribute this increase
primarily to cellular service revenue contributed by Satelindo and IM3 and the
continued growth of MIDI services which include high-speed leased line, frame
relay, satellite lease, direct data connection, and internet. Growth in
operating income was less than the growth in operating revenues, principally as
a result of the significant increase in operating expenses resulting from the
consolidation of Satelindo and IM3's new operations.

  Other income (expenses)

   Other income (expenses) decreased by Rp. 818.0 billion, or 461.1%, from
income of Rp. 177.4 billion in 2001 to an expense of Rp. 640.6 billion in 2002.
In 2002, other income (expenses) consisted primarily of amortization of
goodwill of Rp. 753.5 billion, the provision for doubtful interest receivable
from convertible bonds of Rp. 287.8 billion and adjustment of accounts
receivable trade from Telkom of Rp. 118.0 billion, as well as interest expenses
of Rp. 566.9 billion and others-net of Rp. 130.5 billion. Interest income of
Rp. 822.3 billion and gain on foreign exchange, net of Rp. 393.8 billion offset
the aforementioned expenses, resulting in total other expenses of Rp. 640.6
billion.

   Interest income of Rp. 822.3 billion in 2002 or an increase of Rp. 180.2
billion from Rp. 642.1 billion in 2001 is mainly due to an increase in interest
income from Telkom in connection with a cross ownership transaction amounting
to Rp. 50.2 billion and an increase in interest income from convertible bonds
of P.T. Cipta Televisi Pendidikan Indonesia ("CTPI") amounting to Rp. 278.1
billion. Interest expenses of Rp. 566.9 billion were incurred through
Satelindo's debts, Indosat's bonds and U.S. dollar loans, and from IM3's
syndicated loan. Interest expenses increased by Rp. 164.4 billion from Rp.
402.5 billion in 2001 to Rp. 566.9 billion in 2002, mainly due to increases in
interest expenses from new debts obtained by Indosat from Bank Mandiri, BNI,
BCA in 2002 amounting to Rp. 141.4 billion, increases in interest expenses from
Indosat First Bond 2001 amounting to Rp. 50.1 billion, interest expenses from
Indosat Second Bond and Profit Sharing from Syariah Bond of 2002 amounting to
Rp. 31.2 billion, and interest expense from IM3 syndicated loan in 2002
amounting to Rp. 10.4 billion. The decrease in Satelindo interest expenses
amounting to Rp. 68.5 billion is consistent with its decreasing long-term debts
and bond payables.

   Provision was also made for doubtful interest receivable from the
Convertible Bonds of CTPI amounting to Rp. 287.8 billion. This account is for
the allowance of doubtful interest receivable from convertible bonds of CTPI
amounting to Rp. 268.1 billion, since CTPI has failed to achieve positive net
worth in any year less than Rp. 546.0 billion. Based on the agreement, Indosat
may sell and/or otherwise transfer to the controlling stockholder of CTPI all
bonds held by Indosat at an amount calculated so as to give Indosat an
additional interest of 19%, or a total interest of 26% per annum of the bonds.
See note 9 to our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein.

                                      73



   A foreign exchange gain of Rp. 393.8 billion or a decrease of Rp. 130.3
billion compared to 2001 of Rp. 524.1 billion is mainly due to increase in US
dollar long-term debts in 2002 and the appreciation of Rupiah against US$ from
Rp. 10,400/US$ on December 31, 2001 to Rp. 8,940/US$ on December 31, 2002.

   Goodwill amortization expenses amounted to Rp. 753.5 billion in 2002 mainly
due to amortization of goodwill from the acquisition of 100% equity interest in
Bimagraha in May 2001 in the amount of Rp. 2.728 trillion and goodwill from the
acquisition of 25% equity interest in Satelindo in June 2002 in the amount of
Rp. 2.055 trillion, which was amortized over a period of five years using the
straight line method. On December 31, 2002, goodwill-net of amortization was
Rp. 3.712 trillion.

   An adjustment of accounts receivable-trade from Telkom amounting to Rp.
118.0 billion was made, which resulted in the reconciliation of the accounts
receivable balance as of December 31, 2002.

   Others-net amounting to Rp. 130.5 billion was mainly due to interest on tax
installments due to a cross ownership transaction amounting to Rp. 137.5
billion and an allowance for the decline in value of investment in ICO Global
amounting to Rp. 50.0 billion.

  Equity in net income of associated companies

   Equity in net income of associated companies decreased by Rp. 60.0 billion,
or 45.4%, from Rp. 132.3 billion in 2001 to Rp. 72.3 billion in 2002. In 2002,
we recognized Rp. 70.2 billion in equity income from MGTI, which was the major
contributor to this equity in net income from associated companies.

  Taxation

   Income tax expenses-net increased by Rp. 362.2 billion, or 87.9%, from Rp.
412.2 billion in 2001 to Rp. 774.4 billion in 2002 primarily due to the
consolidation of Satelindo from June to December in 2001. Moreover, there is a
decrease in Indosat taxable income in 2002 if compared with 2001, also due to
increases in Satelindo's income tax expenses amounting to Rp. 120.2 billion.
This increase ocurred because Satelindo generated taxable income in 2002, while
in 2001, Satelindo was experiencing taxable loss. Current income tax expenses
represented 30.4% and 18.3% of income before income tax in 2001 and 2002,
respectively.

   Income tax expenses--deferred increased to Rp. 766.8 billion, mainly due to
the realization of Telkomsel net income of Rp. 280.3 billion when Indosat sold
its equity interest in Telkomsel to Telkom in 2001. This creates deferred tax
assets, an increase in negative correction, which occurs from goodwill
amortization, amounting to Rp. 66.4 billion. This is in line with the increase
in goodwill amortization in 2002, a use of tax loss carried forward amounting
to Rp. 299.4 billion by Satelindo and Sisindosat, which generates net income in
2002. Accordingly, this creates deferred tax expenses. This increase was also
due to absorbing the equity in net income of Satelindo of Rp. 111.1 billion by
Bimagraha, which has not been recognized per fiscal, therefore creating a
deferred tax expense.

  Net income

   Despite improved operating results from 2001 to 2002, our net income
decreased Rp. 1,116.5 billion, or 76.9%, from Rp. 1,452.8 billion in 2001 to
Rp. 336.3 billion in 2002, due to the above operating and non-operating
financial performances.

                                      74



  Year ended December 31, 2001 compared to year ended December 31, 2000

  Operating revenues

   Overall revenues increased from Rp. 2,992.2 billion in 2000 to Rp. 5,138.1
billion in 2001, primarily due to the consolidation of Satelindo's cellular
services revenues and the launch of IM3. During this same period, revenues from
MIDI services and other services contributed to this increase as well.

   Cellular services.  For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded
cellular operating revenues totaling Rp. 1,769.9 billion, which represents
34.4% of total operating revenues. On a "stand alone" basis, operating revenues
from Satelindo's cellular operations totaled Rp. 1,690.0 billion and Rp.
2,657.7 billion for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively,
or grew by 44.7% in 2000 and 57.3% in 2001 compared to the prior periods. The
remaining growth of cellular revenues was contributed by IM3. IM3 commenced
operation in the third quarter of 2001.

   International calls services.  Operating revenues from international calls
services decreased by Rp. 26.5 billion, or 1.2%, from Rp. 2,184.0 billion in
2000 to Rp. 2,157.5 billion in 2001. International calls services revenue
represented 42.0% of operating revenues in 2001 compared to 73.0% in 2000. Call
volume decreased by approximately 7.5% in 2001 primarily due to a 0.7% decrease
in outgoing call traffic and a 13.6% decrease in incoming call traffic.

   MIDI services.  In 2001, operating revenues from MIDI services represented
21.5% of total operating revenues. Operating revenues from MIDI services
increased by Rp. 373.4 billion, or 51.0%, from Rp. 731.7 billion to Rp. 1,105.1
billion in 2001, primarily due to increased satellite lease revenues and frame
relay. Following Satelindo's consolidation, it contributed satellite lease
revenues totaling Rp. 186.7 billion. Frame relay revenue is generated by
Indosat and Lintasarta. Indosat's frame relay services recorded a strong growth
of 200.5% from 210 ports in 2000 to 631 ports in 2001. Lintasarta's frame relay
services grew 42.5 % from 1,564 number of access points in 2000 to 2,229 number
of access points in 2001. World Link and Direct Link revenues grew slightly by
8.7% and contributed Rp. 311.1 billion, or 28.1%, of total MIDI operating
revenues.

   Other services.  Operating revenues from other services increased from Rp.
76.5 billion in 2000 to Rp. 105.6 billion in 2001. As of December 31, 2001,
revenues from other services represented 2.1% of total operating revenues.
Revenues from international telex and telegram services continue to erode as
customers migrate to other higher-quality services offered at a lower price.

   Operating expenses increased by Rp. 1,792.4 billion, or 118.2%, from Rp.
1,516.9 billion in 2000 to Rp. 3,309.3 billion in 2001, primarily due to
increases in depreciation, maintenance, other cost of services expenses,
marketing and administrative and general expenses as a result of the
consolidation of Satelindo in 2001.

   Depreciation expenses increased 432.7% from Rp. 189.9 billion in 2000 to Rp.
1,011.6 billion in 2001. We recorded depreciation expenses from Satelindo of
Rp. 588.0 billion, while Indosat and Lintasarta recorded depreciation expenses
of Rp. 139.3 billion and Rp. 68.8 billion, respectively, during 2001. On a
"stand alone" basis, Satelindo's depreciation expenses were Rp. 727.1 billion
and Rp. 816.8 billion in 2000 and 2001, respectively. Satelindo's depreciation
expenses included capitalized interest and foreign exchange gains or losses.
Satelindo capitalized net foreign exchange losses of Rp. 139.2 billion and Rp.
25.7 billion in 2000 and 2001, respectively. The depreciation expenses of
Indosat relate primarily to the depreciation of its submarine cables,
telecommunication equipment and switching office equipment.

   Compensation to telecommunications carriers and service providers increased
from Rp. 555.4 billion in 2000 to Rp. 597.5 billion in 2001, or 7.6%. The
consolidation of Satelindo contributed significantly to this increase, adding
Rp. 219.3 billion in such expenses. On a "stand alone" basis, Satelindo's
compensation expenses

                                      75



were Rp. 480.6 billion and Rp. 537.7 billion for the years ended December 31,
2000 and 2001, respectively. This increase, compared to revenue development,
reflects an increased traffic load over Satelindo's infrastructure, improved
routing settlements with Telkom and an increased number of calls between
Satelindo customers. While Indosat compensation expenses contributed Rp. 423.3
billion, or 70.8%, to the total compensation to telecommunications carriers and
service providers expenses, this amount represents a decrease of approximately
17.6% compared to the previous period. This decrease was primarily due to
volume decreases and improved routing settlements with Telkom.

   Personnel costs increased Rp. 172.2 billion, or 53.1%, from Rp. 324.1
billion in 2000 to Rp. 496.3 billion in 2001. The personnel costs increased
primarily due to increased salaries and allowances for its employees. Salary
expenses increased due to internal promotions in connection with our new
business lines. Similarly, allowances increased due to annual allowance
adjustments to adjust employees' purchasing power following the economic
crisis. Included in the personnel costs are salaries, pensions, bonuses,
personnel tax expenses and allowances for regional cost of living expenses.

   Maintenance expenses increased Rp. 221.7 billion, or 341.6%, from Rp. 64.9
billion in 2000 to Rp. 286.6 billion in 2001, primarily due to significantly
higher costs of submarine cable maintenance, switching, transmission equipment
of cellular services and other telecommunications equipment. Satelindo
contributed Rp. 146.1 billion, or 51.0%, to our maintenance expenses.

   Administrative and general expenses increased by Rp. 148.2 billion, or
124.4%, from Rp. 119.1 billion in 2000 to Rp. 267.3 billion in 2001, primarily
due to consulting and legal costs associated with designing our business
strategy, structuring and implementing our cross-ownership transactions and
increasing provisions for doubtful accounts. Satelindo contributed Rp. 75.2
billion to our administrative and general expenses, while IM3 contributed Rp.
37.1 billion to such expenses.

   Leased circuits expenses increased by Rp. 27.9 billion, or 26.3%, from Rp.
105.9 billion in 2000 to Rp. 133.8 billion in 2001, primarily due to the
increase in the number of leased circuits necessary to support our increased
internet volume.

   Marketing expenses increased Rp. 52.5 billion, or 109.6%, from Rp. 47.9
billion in 2000 to Rp. 100.4 billion in 2001, primarily due to increased
exhibition expenses and the consolidation of Satelindo. Satelindo contributed
Rp. 15.8 billion to our marketing expenses, while IM3 contributed Rp. 24.9
billion.

   Other costs of services expenses increased by Rp. 306.1 billion, or 279.0%,
from Rp. 109.7 billion in 2000 to Rp. 415.8 billion in 2001. This increase was
primarily due to the consolidation of Satelindo, which recorded other cost of
services expenses totaling Rp. 159.1 billion, or 38.3%, of our other costs of
services expenses. In 2001, this expense primarily consisted of the cost of
software sold of Rp. 79.2 billion, a concession fee of Rp. 66.3 billion, rent
of Rp. 53.5 billion, the cost of SIM cards and pulse reload vouchers of Rp.
53.5 billion and insurance of Rp. 32.1 billion.

  Operating income

   Operating income increased by Rp. 353.5 billion, or 24.0%, from Rp. 1,475.3
billion in 2000 to Rp. 1,828.8 billion in 2001. We attribute this increase
primarily to cellular service revenue contributed by Satelindo and the strong
growth of MIDI services, which includes satellite leases, world link and direct
link, direct data connection, frame relays and internet. Growth in operating
income was less than the growth in operating revenues, principally as a result
of the significant increase in depreciation and compensation expenses resulting
from the consolidation of Satelindo.

  Other income (expenses)

   Other income (expenses) decreased by Rp. 616.9 billion, or 77.7%, from
income of Rp. 794.3 billion in 2000 to income of Rp. 177.4 billion in 2001. The
decrease was primarily due to the increase in interest expenses,

                                      76



amortization of goodwill and non-recurring consultants' fees incurred in
connection with the cross-ownership transactions. Interest expenses increased
by Rp. 383.7 billion from Rp. 18.8 billion in 2000 to Rp. 402.5 billion in
2001, of which Satelindo contributed Rp. 256.6 billion, or 63.8%, and of
Indosat contributed Rp. 132.8 billion, or 33.0%. The increase in goodwill
amortization from Rp. 2.5 billion in 2000 to Rp. 321.2 billion resulted
primarily from the acquisition of Bimagraha. Goodwill arising from the
acquisition of Bimagraha totaled Rp. 2,728.4 billion. The foreign exchange
gain-net increased from Rp. 462.8 billion in 2000 to Rp. 524.1 billion in 2001,
but such gain was partially offset by the expenses discussed above.

  Equity in net income of associated companies

   Equity in net income of associated companies increased by Rp. 48.8 billion,
or 58.4%, from Rp. 83.5 billion in 2000 to Rp. 132.3 billion in 2001. In 2001,
we recognized a Rp. 187.3 billion gain from Telkomsel, a Rp. 48.3 billion loss
from MGTI and a Rp. 7.2 billion loss from IMM. We recorded Telkomsel's equity
income until April 30, 2001, since the transaction to sell our shares in
Telkomsel was completed on May 16, 2001.

  Taxation

   Income tax expense-net decreased by Rp. 275.5 billion, or 40.1%, from Rp.
687.7 billion in 2000 to Rp. 412.2 billion in 2001 primarily due to the
increase in deferred income tax expenses. Current income tax expenses increased
by Rp. 19.9 billion, or 3.2%, from Rp. 630.6 billion in 2000 to Rp. 650.5
billion in 2001. Deferred income tax expenses increased by Rp. 295.4 billion,
or 517.3%, from deferred income tax expenses of Rp. 57.1 billion in 2000 to a
deferred income tax benefit of Rp. 238.3 billion in 2001. Current income tax
expenses represent 26.8% and 30.4% of income before income tax in 2000 and
2001, respectively.

  Net income

   Despite improved operating results from 2000 to 2001, our net income
decreased by Rp. 189.3 billion, or 11.5%, from Rp. 1,642.1 billion in 2000 to
Rp. 1,452.8 billion in 2001, primarily due to increased interest expenses
associated with Satelindo's indebtedness and amortization of goodwill in
connection with the Bimagraha acquisition.

  Capital expenditures

   During 2000, 2001 and 2002, we made capital expenditures totaling Rp. 298.1
billion, Rp. 9,472.1 billion and Rp. 6,444.3 billion, respectively. The capital
expenditures during 2002 were designed to strengthen our position as a
cellular-focused, fully integrated telecommunications network and service
provider. Our capital expenditures in 2002 included: (i) Rp. 5,874.1 billion
for development of our cellular services, including the acquisition of 25%
shares of Satelindo from DeTe Asia; (ii) Rp. 101.7 billion for improvements to
our existing international calls business and other fixed businesses; (iii) Rp.
452.0 billion for expansion of MIDI services, primarily the development of our
backbone and internet businesses; and (iv) Rp. 16.5 billion for other services.

  Cellular services

   During 2002, Satelindo spent around Rp.2,129.2 billion to increase its
capacity. These expenditures included investment in its base stations
subsystem, network switching subsystem, and operating support subsystem which
totaled around Rp.1,362.0 billion, Rp.492.0 billion, and Rp.275.2 billion,
respectively. As of December 31, 2002, Satelindo had around 3,587 base
stations, 138 base stations controllers, and 19 mobile switching centers all
over the country.

   IM3 made capital expenditures totaling approximately Rp.924.8 billion in
2002. These expenditures included investment in its base stations subsystem,
network switching subsystem, and operating support subsystem which totaled
around Rp.820.9 billion, Rp.34.3 billion, and Rp.51.1billion, respectively.

                                      77



   Indosat spent US$ 325 million (approximately Rp.2,824.3 billion) to acquire
25% of the shares of Satelindo from DeTe Asia in June 2002. To support its
cellular business, in 2002 Indosat also made Rp.22.7 billion in capital
expenditures to further develop its mobile billing and CRM supporting system.

  Fixed Access Services

   In 2002, Indosat made capital expenditures totaling Rp.101.7 billion for
fixed access services. This included Rp.77.3 billion to develop its existing
international calls services. Indosat also spent around Rp.13.8 billion to
realize its fixed line businesses. Satelindo made capital expenditures of
approximately Rp.10.6 billion to maintain its IDD 008 businesses.

  MIDI Services

   We made capital expenditures of approximately Rp.452.0 billion for expansion
of MIDI services, which included investment outlay in IM2 amounting to Rp.42.2
billion, development of internet business amounting to Rp.34.0 billion,
inner-city backbone development amounting to Rp.86.8 billion, inter-city
backbone development amounting to Rp.22.8 billion, the development of submarine
cables amounting to Rp.28.9 billion, the development of MIDI services in
Lintasartha amounting to Rp 139.8 billion, and the development of other MIDI
services in Indosat and its subsidiaries amounting to Rp 97.5 billion.

  Capital expenditures for 2003 and 2004

   During the two year period 2003 and 2004, our investment program calls for
spending a total of Rp. 1,464.8 billion as well as US$639.5 million, which will
be financed mostly by internally generated resources. We may draw on external
sources of financing, subject to our financial condition at the time. The above
total investment program includes a committed capital expenditure of Rp. 102.8
billion and US$222.2 million on a consolidated basis, which will be paid out by
the end of 2003, assuming we undertake development of all prospective projects.
We expect that this 2003-2004 capital expenditure will be used as follows:

   .   to finance our cellular business development, which will involve around
       Rp. 704.6 billion and US$542.4 million capital expenditures;

   .   to develop Indosat's domestic infrastructure and fixed-access services,
       which will require around Rp. 259.7 billion and US$16.3 million;

   .   to enhance our MIDI services by investing around Rp. 404.0 billion and
       US$28.3 million primarily to develop IM2 multimedia and internet
       businesses and rolling out the domestic infrastructure (backbone) to
       support MIDI services; and

   .   to support Indosat's other businesses by investing around Rp. 96.4
       billion and US$52.5 million to develop supporting systems and other
       related equipment.

   We expect that future operating revenues and the available cash and cash
equivalents that Indosat owns today will be sufficient to finance the planned
capital expenditures for 2003 and 2004. Indosat has appointed partners to
develop its fixed- access businesses in order to better leverage its financing
requirements. Revenue-sharing schemes, as contemplated by our management,
include partnerships with private investors, whereby such investors finance
construction of a particular project and provide certain know-how for the
project in exchange for revenues from the project, similar to a
build-operate-transfer structure. We believe we have significantly reduced our
financial burden through this scheme. We may also elect to divest subsidiaries
that we determine are not consistent with our overall strategy, and proceeds
from any such divestitures could be used to finance our future capital
expenditures. For example, Indosat management is currently considering
divesting itself of its interest in MGTI, a KSO in Central Java. However, no
assurance can be given that the transaction could be executed this year, and no
definite pricing has been determined, as negotiations between the prospective
investor and MGTI's shareholders, including Indosat, are continuing.

                                      78



   In the event that we cannot finance our planned capital expenditure from our
own internally generated funds, we may look to find external sources of
funding, though we expect that we will attempt to limit our external funding in
order to reduce our debt exposure. However, no assurance can be given that we
will be able to obtain suitable financing arrangements (including vendor or
other third-party financing) for our planned capital expenditures. In the event
that we are unable or unwilling to draw on external resources of funding, we
may elect to reduce our planned capital expenditures, if feasible. However, any
such reduction in planned capital expenditures may cause revenues to decline,
thereby adversely affecting our financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Similar to most telecommunications companies that own, rather than lease,
their networks and facilities, our business is capital intensive. We have
experienced significant changes in our financial structure since the
acquisition of Satelindo shares from Telkom and Bimagraha in 2001 and from DeTe
Asia in 2002. Our financial structure has also been influenced significantly by
our additional investment activities, such as our roll out of new
infrastructures for Satelindo and IM3 in 2002. Our financing activities, such
as the issuance of the Second Indosat Bond, financing through BNI and BCA U.S.
dollar credit facilities, and IM3's Rupiah syndicated loan with several
Indonesian banks, have also changed our financial structure.

   We expect that over the next several years, a substantial portion of our
cash flow will be used to pay principal and interest with respect to our
indebtedness and to finance our future capital expenditures. Our ability to
satisfy our financial obligations and to fund other future capital expenditures
will depend upon our future operating performance, which is subject to
prevailing economic conditions, levels of interest rates and financial,
business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our existing
debt obligations and future capital expenditures could limit our ability to
respond to changing business or economic conditions or to respond to declines
in operating results. We recorded an increase in our total non-current
liabilities from Rp. 5,858.5 billion in 2001 to Rp. 8,079.2 billion in 2002. As
a result of the consolidation of Satelindo, our long-term debt-to-equity ratio
changed from 56.8% as of December 31, 2001 to 77.5% as of December 31, 2002.
See "Information on the Company--Principal Indebtedness" for a description of
our principal debt facilities.

   Since Satelindo's debt restructuring in 2000, it has been limited from
making the significant capital expenditures necessary to build-out and improve
its cellular network. However, in 2002, Indosat injected US$75 million in
capital in Satelindo in order to remove these restrictions. Following this
capital injection, Satelindo realized its capital expenditure goals during 2002
to increase its capacity and establish its "intelligent network" platform,
technology and equipment to increase its cellular service quality. The terms of
the debt restructuring constrain Satelindo's ability to make capital
expenditures to a maximum amount per year and limit its ability to borrow for
the purpose of funding capital expenditures.

  Cash and cash equivalents

   Our cash position was Rp. 2,409.9 billion, Rp. 4,637.8 billion and Rp.
2,831.8 billion as of December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. In years
prior to 2001, we met our working capital and capital expenditure requirements
through cash flows generated from operations and, in the case of certain
submarine cables and gateways, primarily utilized funds loaned by the
Government. In 1999 and 2000, we funded our working capital and capital
expenditure requirements primarily by using accumulated cash, cash equivalents
and cash flows generated from operations. Our operating revenues in 2000 were
sufficient to make payments for debt service and make moderate capital
expenditures. Starting in 2001, we began to leverage our financial structure by
issuing the First Indosat Bond to enable us to make payments for our future
capital expenditures. The First Indosat Bond of Rp. 1.0 trillion, together with
our operating revenues and the proceeds from the sale of our 35% stake in
Telkomsel, were sufficient to make payments for debt service and to make
significant capital expenditures, including the acquisition of shares in
Satelindo and Lintasarta and to finance the IM3 infrastructure development. In
2001, we used the proceeds from the sale of our 35% interest in Telkomsel to
acquire 22.5% of Satelindo from Telkomsel and a further 45% of Satelindo from
Bimagraha. In addition, we used the Rp. 1.0 trillion in proceeds from the First
Indosat Bond issuance to finance the IM3 infrastructure development in 2001.

                                      79



   However, we faced a cash shortage in 2002, as we acquired the 25% remaining
interest in Satelindo from DeTe Asia and injected a further US$75 million in
Satelindo in order to release Satelindo of some of its restrictive debt
covenants. To finance the acquisition of the 25% interest in Satelindo from
DeTe Asia and the injection of US$75 million in Satelindo, we borrowed Rp. 1.5
trillion from Bank Mandiri and established a BCA U.S. dollar credit facility
amounting to US$75 million. These credit facilities were refinanced by BCA and
BNI U.S. dollar long-term credit facilities. As of December 31, 2002, the
balance of Indosat's BCA U.S. dollar credit facility was US$40 million, and the
balance of Indosat's BNI U.S. dollar credit facility was US$75 million.

   The net increase in cash and cash equivalents in 2000 and 2001 amounted to
Rp. 506.3 billion and Rp. 1,032.0 billion, respectively. In 2002, we
experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash
equivalents at year end 2002 were Rp. 2,831.8 billion, which is derived from a
beginning balance of cash and cash equivalents amounting to Rp. 4,637.8, minus
net decrease in cash and cash equivalents during 2002 of Rp. 1,807.9 billion,
plus a beginning balance of cash and cash equivalents from new subsidiaries
acquired amounting to Rp. 1.9 billion.

  Working capital and cash flows

   Current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, decreased from Rp.
4,197.7 billion in 2001 to Rp. 2,308.4 billion in 2002. This decrease was
primarily due to decreases in accounts receivable, net of allowances for
doubtful accounts.

   Current liabilities, excluding current maturities of long-term debt,
decreased from Rp. 4,692.8 billion in 2001 to Rp. 2,537.4 billion in 2002. This
decrease related primarily to a decrease in taxes payable from Rp. 2,898.3
billion in 2001 to Rp. 248.2 billion in 2002 and decreases in account
payable-trade third parties from 201.7 billion in 2001 to Rp. 109.0 billion in
2002. Based on the decision of the Director General of Taxation No.
KEP-02/WPJ.07/KP.0105/2002 dated March 26, 2002, we obtained approval to pay
the income tax payable for fiscal year 2001 amounting to Rp. 1,893,981 in nine
monthly installments up to December 25, 2002 with interest at 2% per month. As
of December 31, 2002, we had fully paid the installments.

   Working capital, calculated as the difference between total current assets
and current liabilities, was Rp. 3,323.9 billion as of December 31, 2001 and
Rp. 1,957.7 billion as of December 31, 2002. While net working capital,
calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities
(each adjusted as described above), was negative Rp. 495.1 billion as of
December 31, 2001 and negative Rp. 229.0 billion as of December 31, 2002.

   We believe that as Satelindo's revenue growth has been driven by prepaid
cellular services, and major equipment purchases and the roll-out of other
infrastructure during 2002 (including the establishment of the intelligent
network technology platform), historical net working capital results will not
likely have a material adverse impact on our ability to finance future
operations. We also expect that Satelindo will be able to use its
internally-generated funds to finance its future capital expenditures. We also
expect that our proposed integration plan between Satelindo's and IM3's
networks will result in certain efficiency gains in our cellular business,
thereby helping us to increase our subscriber base, and ultimately will impact
our business results positively. We believe that our working capital is
sufficient for our requirements over the next year. However, we face a
liquidity risk if certain events occur, including but not limited to: (i) the
Indonesian macro economy grows slower than expected and the general purchasing
power of end-users does not increase; (ii) our debt ratings are downgraded;
(iii) our financial performance or financial ratios deteriorate; (iv) the
decline of international calls services revenues continues; or (v) we fail to
obtain additional financing at favorable terms or at all.

Summary of Certain Material Differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP

   Our audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Indonesian GAAP, which differs in certain material aspects from
U.S. GAAP. Given the number and nature of differences between U.S. GAAP and
Indonesian GAAP, users of Indonesian GAAP financial statements should never
assume that they are at all comparable to financial statements prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain principal differences between Indonesian
GAAP and U.S. GAAP are summarized below and in Notes 39 and 40 to our audited
consolidated financial statements, included herein.

   This presentation should not be taken as inclusive of all Indonesian
GAAP/U.S. GAAP differences. Additionally, no attempt has been made herein to
identify all disclosure, presentation or classification differences that would
affect the manner in which events and transactions are presented in the
financial statements or notes thereto. Further, no attempt has been made to
identify future differences between Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP as a result
of prescribed changes to accounting standards. Regulatory bodies that
promulgate Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP have significant projects ongoing that
could affect future comparisons, such as this one.

  Capitalization of foreign exchange loss-net of gain

   Under Indonesian GAAP, foreign exchange losses-net of foreign exchange gain
on borrowings used to finance construction of an asset should be capitalized.
Capitalization of net foreign exchange loss ceases when the construction is
substantially completed and the constructed asset is ready for its intended use.

                                      82



   Under U.S. GAAP, foreign exchange differential should be charged or credited
to current operations. Therefore, the depreciation relating to the capitalized
net foreign exchange loss under Indonesian GAAP should be reversed for U.S.
GAAP purposes. For the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, our net income
would be Rp. 25.75 billion and Rp. 0.5 billion lower under U.S. GAAP
respectively.

  Interest capitalizable to properties under construction and installation

   Under Indonesian GAAP, one of the criteria for capitalizing interest cost to
a qualifying asset (i.e. properties under construction and installation) is
that the interest should be attributable to the qualifying asset. The
capitalization of a parent company's interest expense into a subsidiary's asset
is not allowed under Indonesian GAAP. We did not capitalize the interest
incurred on our bonds payable in 2002 because the proceeds of the bonds were
used for the acquisition of Bimagraha shares and capital contributions in IMM
and IM3.

   Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS No. 34 does not specify that the interest cost be
attributable to the qualifying assets; therefore, the capitalizable interest
include interest costs incurred on general and specific borrowings. The
difference between the amount of interest capitalized under Indonesian GAAP and
U.S. GAAP will result in additional depreciation recognized under U.S. GAAP.

   Further, U.S. GAAP allows capitalization of a parent company's interest
expense to qualifying assets of a consolidated subsidiary provided that the
subsidiary used the funds to acquire qualifying assets for its operations. In
2001, the qualifying assets were IMM's internet assets and IM3's cellular
assets. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the amount of difference is Rp.
97.9 billion and Rp.53.4 billion higher net income under U.S. GAAP.

  Pension plan

   We have adopted SAK 24 as our accounting method for pensions; it is
substantially consistent with the requirements of U.S. GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP,
starting from January 1, 1991, the accounting for these benefits is governed by
SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions". In computing net periodic
pension cost, used the transition obligation calculated as of January 1, 1995
and 1991 for Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP purposes, respectively. The amount
of differences are Rp. 161 million, Rp. 153 million, and Rp. 191 million higher
net income under U.S. GAAP for 2000, 2001, and 2002 respectively.

  Post retirement benefits

   Under Indonesian GAAP, there are no strict requirements for the recognition
of an employer's liability for healthcare plan granted to employees for the
period subsequent to retirement. We account for these benefits as an expense at
the time they are claimed. Under U.S. GAAP, we account for these benefits over
the estimated service period of its employees based on actuarial assumptions
which are similar to those provided by SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Post retirement Benefits Other than Pensions". The amount of differences are
Rp. 8.8 billion, Rp. 8.8 billion, and Rp. 8.6 billion lower net income under
U.S. GAAP for 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively.

  Landrights

   In Indonesia, except for ownership rights ("Hak Milik") granted to
individuals, the title to land rests with the State under the Basic Agrarian
Law No. 5 of 1960. Land use is accomplished through landrights, whereby the
holder of the right enjoys the full use of the land for a stated period of
time, subject to extensions. We expect that the landrights will be renewed at
nominal costs in the foreseeable future. In most instances, the landrights are
freely tradable. However, they may be pledged as security under borrowing
agreements. The predominant practice is to capitalize the costs of acquired
landrights and to not amortize these costs.

   Under Indonesian GAAP, expenses associated with the acquisition of the
government permit to use the land should be amortized over the period the
holder is expected to retain the landrights which, in our case, is an initial

                                      83



period ranging from approximately 20 to 30 years, while under U.S. GAAP, all
costs to acquire the landrights should be amortized over the period the holder
is expected to retain the landrights. As a result of the above difference, when
landright is sold, the gain/loss from the disposal of land will be different
under Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. The amount of differences are Rp. 2.8
billion, Rp. 3.8 billion, and Rp. 8.7 billion lower net income under U.S. GAAP
for, 2000, 2001, and 2002, respectively.

  Revenue recognition

   Under Indonesian GAAP, revenue from service connection is recognized as
income at the time the connection takes place (for postpaid service) or at the
time of delivery of starter packs to distributors, dealers or customers (for
prepaid service). Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition", revenue from service connections
should be deferred and recognized over the expected term of the customer
relationship. The amount of differences are Rp. 43.3 billion and Rp.38.8
billion lower net income under U.S. GAAP for 2001 and 2002.

  Goodwill

   Under Indonesian GAAP, goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method
over five years.

   Under U.S. GAAP, starting with fiscal year beginning after December 15,
2001, goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test
under SFAS No.142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Prior to 2002, the
goodwill arising from the acquisition of Bimagraha (see Note 4) had been
amortized over five years. Beginning 2002, the amortization was discontinued
and an impairment review of the goodwill was done in accordance with SFAS No.
142.

  Intangible Assets

   Under Indonesian GAAP, intangible assets acquired in a business combination
are not recognized separately from goodwill. Under U.S. GAAP, intangible assets
that meet the new criteria for recognition apart from goodwill under SFAS No.
142 should be reported separately from goodwill. Our intangible assets with
definite lives acquired from the acquisition of Satelindo in 2002 are amortized
and subject to impairment test under SFAS No. 144.

  Equity in net loss of associated companies

   This represents the effect of the difference between Indonesian and U.S.
GAAP in the investees' accounting for stock issuance costs and foreign exchange
differential on obligation relating to property under construction. The amount
of difference is Rp. 9.1 billion lower net income under U.S. GAAP 2000. There
are no differences in 2001 and 2002.

   The principal functions of the Board of Commissioners are to supervise the
Board of Directors, review our development plan, and monitor the performance of
our work plan, budget, the implementation of our Articles of Association and
resolutions of the shareholders' general meeting. In carrying out its
supervisory activities, the Board of Commissioners represents the interests of
the shareholders and is accountable to the shareholders in their general
meeting.

   Meetings of the Board of Commissioners must be held at least once every
three months. A meeting of the Board of Commissioners may be convened at any
time when deemed necessary by the President Commissioner or when requested by
at least one third of the total members of the Board of Commissioners. A
meeting of the Commissioners is lawful and entitled to make lawful and binding
decisions only if a majority of the Commissioners are present or represented.
At any meeting each Commissioner is entitled to one vote and, in addition, may
make one vote for each Commissioner he is representing. A Commissioner may be
represented at a meeting of the Commissioners only by another Commissioner
appointed pursuant to a power of attorney. Except as otherwise provided in the
Articles of Association, resolutions of the Board of Commissioners must be
adopted by deliberation and consensus. If no agreement is reached by
deliberation and consensus, resolutions must be passed by a majority of the
Commissioners holding office. In the event of a tie vote, the proposal is
deemed rejected unless the matter concerns an individual, in which case the
President Commissioner may decide the matter. The Board of Commissioners may
adopt lawful and binding decisions without convening a meeting of the
Commissioners if all of the members of the Board of Commissioners approve the
decision in writing.

   The Board of Directors is generally responsible for managing our business in
accordance with all applicable laws, the Articles of Association and the
policies and directives issued by the general meeting of shareholders and the
Board of Commissioners. The President Director alone shall have the authority
to represent and act on behalf of the Board of Directors and Indosat. If the
President Director is absent or disabled, one of the Directors designated by
the President Director or the Board of Commissioners or, in the absence of such
a designation, the Director who holds the longest term as a member of the Board
of Directors, shall have authority to represent and act on behalf of the Board
of Directors and Indosat. The Board of Directors is required to obtain the
written approval of the Board of Commissioners for the following actions:
purchasing and/or selling shares of other companies; disposing or selling fixed
assets in excess of an amount determined by the Board of Commissioners;
entering into a license agreement or co-operation, management or similar
agreement with other enterprises or parties for a period of more than one year;
determining to cease collecting and to write off credits from the books;
binding us as guarantor with financial consequences in excess of an amount
determined by the Board of Commissioners; and accepting or granting
medium/long-term loans and accepting non-operational short-term loans in excess
of an amount stipulated in our Work Plan and Budget and approved by the Board
of Commissioners. In addition, transactions involving capital participation or
disposals of capital participation by us in other enterprises involving 10% or
more of our revenues or 20% or more of stockholders' equity or such other
amount as specified in Indonesian capital market regulations must be authorized
by the shareholders at the general meeting of shareholders.

                                      91



   Meetings of the Board of Directors are convened when called by the President
Director or when requested by more than one-third of the total members of the
Board of Directors.

   A meeting of the Directors is valid and entitled to adopt binding decisions
only if a majority of the Directors holding office are present or represented,
subject to the provisions regarding conflicts of interest. A Director may be
represented at a meeting of the Directors only by another Director appointed
pursuant to a power of attorney issued for that particular purpose. At any
meeting of Directors each Director is entitled to one vote and, in addition,
one vote for each other Director he is representing. Resolutions of the Board
of Directors must be passed by a majority vote, and, in event of a tie vote,
the President Director has a deciding vote. The Board of Directors may adopt
valid and binding resolutions without convening a meeting of the Directors if
all of the Directors approve and sign the resolutions in writing.

   Individual Directors are charged with specific responsibilities. In the
event that a vacancy occurs in the Board of Directors, so long as the position
remains vacant, one of the other Directors will be nominated by the Board of
Commissioners to perform the work of the absentee Director. If, for any reason,
we cease to have any Directors, the Board of Commissioners is to assume the
ongoing obligations of the Board of Directors and must convene a general
meeting of shareholders to elect a new Board of Directors within at least 30
days.

   The Articles of Association provide that if there is a conflict between
Indosat's interests and those of a Director, then with the approval of the
Board of Commissioners, Indosat shall be represented by another member of the
Board of Directors. If all Directors have a conflict, Indosat shall be
represented by the Board of Commissioners or one Commissioner designated by the
Board of Commissioners. If all the Board of Commissioners has a conflict, the
shareholders, pursuant to a general meeting, may appoint one or more persons to
represent Indosat.

  Audit Committee

   In accordance with JSX Regulation No. Kep-315/BEJ/06/2000 on the General
Procedures of Equity Stock Listing in the Stock Exchange, dated June 30, 2000,
we have formed an Independent Audit Committee, consisting of three persons and
chaired by one of the Independent Commissioners. The duties of the Audit
Committee include providing professional, independent advice to the Board of
Commissioners and identifying matters that require the attention of the Board
of Commissioners, including review of the following: our financial information
(including financial reports and projections); the independence and objectivity
of our public accountant; the adequacy of our public accountant's audits that
all material risks have been considered; the effectiveness of our internal
controls; and our compliance as a listed company with the prevailing capital
markets regulations and other regulations related to our business. The members
of our audit committee are Achmad Rivai (Chairman), Achmad Fuad Lubis and
Wuryanto.

  Employees

   As of December 31, 2002, Indosat had 2,373 permanent employees, including
218 managerial-level employees (employees with the rank of manager or higher)
and 2,155 non-managerial employees, compared to 142 managerial and 2,259
non-managerial employees, respectively, at December 31, 2001. Indosat's
turnover rate for employees during 2002 was less than 0.25% per annum. As a
result, employees have been with Indosat for an average of 12.25 years of
service.

   As of December 31, 2002, on a consolidated basis, the Indosat group employed
a total of approximately 5,983 employees, 87 of which were non-permanent
employees. Of the total number of employees, 336 were Indosat employees who had
been seconded to certain of our subsidiaries. Including these secondees,
Satelindo, IM3, Lintasarta, IM2, and Sisindosat employed approximately 2,041,
817, 700, 238 and 149 employees, respectively, as of December 31, 2002.

                                      92



   We provide numerous benefits to our employees, including a pension plan,
medical benefits, income tax allowances and access to a cooperative established
by the employees. While there are no restrictions on hiring, like all
Indonesian companies, we are required to obtain the Ministry of Manpower's
approval to lay-off ten or more employees in one month.

   On August 25, 1999, Indosat's employees established a union called the
Serikat Pekerja Indosat ("SPI"). On February 13, 2001, Indosat's management and
SPI signed the Collective Labor Agreement or Perjanjian Kerja Bersama ("PKB").
This agreement covers terms of employment, including working relations, working
hours, payroll, employee development and competency, occupational safety and
heath, employees' welfare, social allowances, employees' code of conduct and
mechanisms for handling disputes. SPI is active and critical to Indosat's human
relations policies. Currently, Indosat's management and representatives of the
SPI are in the process of negotiating to amend the Collective Labor Agreement,
which expires on February 13, 2004.

   Indosat's employees are entitled to a pension under a defined benefit plan,
pursuant to which they receive both a lump sum payment and a monthly benefit
through an insurance program managed by Jiwasraya, a state-owned insurance
company. In September 2000, Indosat insured 1,683 permanent employees with a
fully-funded pension program. In this program, an employee who resigns at 56
years of age will receive a pension benefit. Under Indonesian GAAP and U.S.
GAAP, our pension liabilities are deemed to be fully-funded. (See Notes 2o, 25
and 41c to our audited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere
herein.)

   Indosat's employees have also established a cooperative, Koperasi Pegawai
Indosat ("Kopindosat"). Kopindosat provides various benefits, such as housing,
transportation, consumer loans, principally to Indosat's employees, and car,
house and equipment rental, principally to Indosat. The management of
Kopindosat is elected by Indosat's employees every three years at an annual
members' meeting. Kopindosat and certain of its subsidiaries are under the
supervision of Indosat's management. Kopindosat has a minority stake in some of
Indosat's affiliates. Indosat has also temporarily seconded several of its
employees to support Kopindosat and its subsidiaries in conducting their
business, as well as to provide job training for those employees.

   Indosat's employees have also established an employee welfare foundation,
Yayasan Kesejahteraan Karyawan Indosat ("Yakindosat"). Yakindosat was created
to provide a fund to improve the welfare of Indosat's employees. Management
personnel of Yakindosat are appointed by Indosat's management. Yakindosat and
some of its subsidiaries are managed by and are under supervision of Indosat's
management. Yakindosat has investments in some of Indosat's affiliates. Indosat
has also temporarily seconded several of its employees to support Yakindosat's
subsidiaries in conducting their business.

  Share ownership

   To our knowledge, as of June 23, 2003, apart from ICL, the Government and PT
Jamsostek (Persero), there were no shareholders beneficially owning more than
5% of our outstanding Common Stock.

                                      93

  Employee Stock Option Plan

   At the annual general meeting of shareholders held on June 26, 2003, the
shareholders voted to approve a plan to issue 51,775,000 Indosat Series B
shares, or approximately 5% of Indosat's issued and paid up capital immediately
prior to that annual general meeting of shareholders, which will be allocated
to our employees through an Employee Stock Option Plan. Permanent employees,
directors and commissioners of Indosat and its consolidated subsidiaries will
be eligible to receive options to purchase Indosat shares. Indosat's
commissioners have been delegated authority to issue new shares in the amount
and at such time in accordance the terms of the plan, the detailed terms of
which are currently being finalized by Indosat. Options to purchase half of the
shares to be issued under the plan will be allocated for distribution in 2003,
commencing August 1, 2003, with a one-year vesting period and exercisable
within one year commencing August 1, 2004 (the first phase), and the options to
purchase the remaining half of such shares will be distributed in 2004,
similarly with a one-year vesting period and exercisable within one year
commencing August 1, 2005 (the second phase). For the first phase of the plan,
the exercise price of the options will be the average closing price for
Indosat's shares during a period of 25 consecutive days in the JSX regular
market prior to the announcement of the June 26, 2003 annual general meeting of
shareholders. The exercise price of the options for the second phase will be
determined at the Indosat's general meeting of shareholders in 2004. Indosat
will offer a ten percent discount from the exercise price of options issued
under the plan.

Item 7:  MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Major Shareholders

   Our major shareholders are ICL, the Government, acting through the Ministry
of State-Owned Enterprises, and PT Jamsostek (Persero), which together own
62.72% of our Common Stock. In addition, the Government holds the Special Share
and has special voting rights. As of June 23, 2003, aside from ICL, the
Government and PT Jamsostek (Persero), there were no shareholders beneficially
owning more than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock (see the table under
"Directors, Senior Management and Employees--Share Ownership").

  The Government

   Prior to the Initial Public Offering in 1994, the Government owned 100% of
our outstanding Common Stock. As of the beginning of 2002, the Government owned
65% of our outstanding Common Stock. By virtue of

                                      94



its Common Stock ownership, the Government had retained control over us and had
the power to elect all of our Board of Commissioners and our Board of Directors
and to determine the outcome of substantially all actions requiring the
approval of the shareholders. In addition, through pension plans, insurance
funds and other Indonesian investors owned or controlled, directly or
indirectly, by the Government, had purchased shares of Common Stock in the
Initial Public Offering.

   On May 17, 2002, the Government sold 8.1% of our outstanding Common Stock
through an accelerated global tender, reducing the Government's shareholding to
56.9%. On December 20, 2002, the Government sold 41.94% of our outstanding
Common Stock to ICL (described below), further reducing the Government's
shareholding to 15.0%. However, aside from our Common Stock, our capital
structure also includes a special share, the Series A Share (see "Additional
Information-Description of Articles of Association and Capital Stock"), and the
Government retains a significant degree of control of this through the Special
Share.

   As the holder of the Special Share, the Government has special voting
rights. The material rights and restrictions which are applicable to the Common
Stock are also applicable to the Special Share, except that the Government may
not transfer the Special Share and it has veto rights with respect to: (i)
election and removal of Directors; (ii) election and removal of Commissioners;
(iii) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions of Indosat; and (iv) amendments
to the Articles of Association, including to the purposes and objectives of
Indosat and increases in our share capital without pre-emptive rights. The
above veto rights are limited by the Shareholders Agreement between the
Government and ICL described below to the extent that the Government has agreed
to vote all of its shares in accordance with the written instructions of ICL on
the above matters for a period of one calendar year from effectiveness of the
sale of ICL.

  ICL

   On December 15, 2002, ICL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of STT Communications
Limited, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Share Purchase
Agreement") and a Shareholders Agreement (the "Shareholders Agreement") with
the Government, acting through the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises in its
capacity as a shareholder of Indosat. STT Communications Limited is 99% owned
by Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd, which is part of the Singapore
Technologies group and indirectly owned by Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited,
an investment arm of the Singapore government. Pursuant to the Share Purchase
Agreement, the Government agreed to sell, and ICL agreed to purchase,
434,250,000 Series B Shares representing 41.94% of the total outstanding Series
B Shares. The sale and purchase of the Series B Shares under the Share Purchase
Agreement was consummated on December 20, 2002, at which time the Shareholders
Agreement became effective. After consummation of this sale and purchase, the
Government held 155,324,999 Series B Shares, representing 15.0% of the total
outstanding Series B Shares. The aggregate purchase price for the Series B
Shares acquired by ICL pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement was
Rp.5,623,537,500,000 (approximately US$627.4 million).

   Under the Shareholders Agreement, the Government and ICL have agreed to vote
their respective shares and procure that their respective nominated directors
vote and take all other action necessary in order to give effect to the
provisions of the Shareholders Agreement. The Government has agreed with ICL to
discuss how it will vote on resolutions at a shareholders meeting relating to
certain matters set out in the Shareholders Agreement if requested by ICL. The
Government has also agreed to vote all of its shares in accordance with ICL's
written instructions on certain matters set out in the Shareholders Agreement
for a period of one year from December 20, 2002.

   Under the Shareholders Agreement, each of the Government and ICL must vote
its shares and take all other action necessary or required to elect to the
Board of Commissioners. They have agreed to elect (i) the required number of
commissioners nominated by ICL so that such nominees constitute a simple
majority on the Board and (ii) two nominees of the Government, save that this
number would be reduced to one if the Government's holding of Series B Shares
was reduced beyond a certain number (the "Residual Shares") but the Government

                                      95



remained the holder of the Series A Share. The Government and ICL must also
vote its shares and take all other action necessary or required to elect to the
Board of Directors including (i) the required number of directors nominated by
ICL so that such nominees constitute a simple majority on the Board and (ii)
two nominees of the Government, save that this number would be reduced to one
if the Government's holding of Series B Shares was reduced to less than the
Residual Shares. There are also certain quorum requirements set out in the
Shareholders Agreement.

   ICL is restricted under the Shareholders Agreement from transferring any
Series B shares which it acquired from the Government for a period of three
years from the purchase of the shares, i.e. until December 20, 2005, subject to
certain exceptions. Under the Shareholders Agreement, the Government shall not
transfer any Residual Shares for a period of one year from the purchase of the
shares, i.e., until December 20, 2003, other than to ICL and to certain
affiliates. The Shareholders Agreement will terminate on December 31, 2005 (or
earlier in limited circumstances).

   The Government's sale to ICL has triggered several demonstrations and
protests, including a class action suit lodged by an Indonesian
non-governmental organization. The class action suit apparently has the support
of a number of prominent political parties and figures of Indonesia. The class
action alleges that proper government and parliamentary approvals, as required
by the Indonesian constitution, were not obtained for the sale. A Jakarta
district court is currently hearing the class action suit. There are only
limited precedents with respect to class action suits in Indonesia, and we are
unable to assess the validity of the plaintiffs' claims. As a result, the
outcome of the case is uncertain.

   The descriptions of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Shareholders
Agreement contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to such
documents, which are incorporated as exhibits hereto by reference to the
Schedule 13D filed jointly by Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited, Singapore
Technologies Pte Ltd, Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte Ltd, STT
Communications Ltd and Indonesia Communications Limited with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on January 29, 2003.

PT Jamsostek (Persero)

   PT Jamsostek (Persero) is a state-owned company which manages provident fund
for employees of the private companies. Prior to May 2002, PT Jamsostek
(Persero) owned less than 1% of our outstanding Common Stock. Starting from May
2002, PT Jamsostek (Persero) owned 48,906,500 shares of our Common Stock hence
increasing its ownership to 4.72%. As of June 23, 2003 PT Jamsostek (Persero)
owned 59,909,000 Series B Shares representing an ownership of 5.78%. It does
not have any special rights nor representative in our Board of Commissioners or
Board of Directors.

Related Party Transactions

   Indosat is a party to certain agreements and engages in transactions with a
number of entities that are related to us, including joint venture companies,
cooperatives and foundations, as well as the Government and entities that are
related to or owned or controlled by the Government. See Note 26 to our
consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein. The most
significant of these transactions include interconnection agreements and
account receivables with and in Telkom, cash and cash equivalents in the amount
of Rp. 1,985.5 billion deposited in state-owned banks. We are a party to
various on-lending agreements with the Government. We also pay 1% of government
fees to the MoC with respect to our operations. In addition, we are a party to
various agreements with other state-owned entities such as insurance companies,
banks and various suppliers. The transactions in 2001 to eliminate Indosat's
and Telkom's cross-ownership in certain subsidiaries were also considered
related party transactions, as both Indosat and Telkom were under common
control by the Government. Transactions between Indosat and our principal
consolidated subsidiaries, Satelindo and Lintasarta, are also considered
related party transactions.

                                      96



Item 8:  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Consolidated financial statement and other financial information

   See Item 17, "Financial Statements", for our audited consolidated financial
statements filed as part of this annual report.

Legal proceedings

   To our knowledge, we are not party to any material legal proceedings and
there are no material legal proceedings pending with respect to our properties.
Currently we are in the appeals process (Judicial Review) in the Supreme Court
with respect to a decision in a minor administrative lawsuit in favor of Primer
Koperasi Karyawan Pariwisata, Seni dan Kebudayaan/Parsenibud (known as
Primkopparpostel) in the State Court of Central Jakarta, regarding a foreign
currency exchange transaction. However, we do not believe that this process
will have a significant effect on our financial position or profitability. We
are also the subject of a class action suit with respect to the sale of 41.94%
of our shares by the Government to ICL. The outcome of this class action is
uncertain. See "Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions--Major
Shareholders--ICL".

Dividend policy

   Holders of ADSs on the applicable record dates will be entitled to all
dividends declared on the underlying shares of Common Stock. Dividends are
declared by the shareholders at the annual general meeting upon the
recommendation of our Board of Directors. At our 2001 annual general meeting of
shareholders, the shareholders declared final cash dividends amounting to 35%
of net income in 2000, and, at our 2002 annual general meeting of shareholders,
the shareholders declared final cash dividends amounting to 40% of net income
in 2001. Our next annual general meeting of shareholders is scheduled to be
held on June 26, 2003. Even though Indosat's dividends have historically ranged
from 30% to 50% of net income for the years 1995 to 2002, there is no guarantee
that the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on June 26, 2003 will approve
and declare final cash dividends in the range of these three historical levels,
due to our large capital expenditure plan in 2003. Dividends, if any, are
subject to our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and any
other factors considered relevant by our shareholders. Any dividends will be
paid in Rupiah with respect to shares of Common Stock. Dividends received by
holders of ADSs will be paid in dollars, net of conversion expenses of The Bank
of New York, as depositary for our ADSs. Dividends received by a Non-Indonesian
Holder (as defined herein) of shares of Common Stock or ADSs will be subject to
Indonesian withholding taxes. See "Additional Information--Taxation--Indonesian
Taxation".

  Markets

   Indosat's Common Stock is listed on the JSX and the SSX. The JSX is the
principal non-U.S. trading market for Indosat's Common Stock. In addition,
ADSs, each representing ten shares of Common Stock, are listed on the NYSE.

The Indonesian Securities Market

   Currently there are two principal stock exchanges in Indonesia. The primary
market is the JSX, and the other is the SSX located in Surabaya, East Java. The
JSX is the larger and more prominent of the two exchanges, with an aggregate
equity market capitalization of Rp. 268.4 trillion at year-end 2002, as
compared to Rp. 229.2 trillion for the SSX. Total trading value on the JSX
during 2002 was Rp. 120.7 trillion, compared with Rp. 11.1 trillion on the SSX.

Overview of the JSX

   There are currently two daily trading sessions from Monday to Thursday, 9:30
a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. There are two trading sessions on
Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

                                      99



   Trading is divided into three market segments: the regular market, the
negotiable market and the cash market. The regular market is the mechanism for
trading stock in standard lots in a continuous auction market during exchange
hours. With respect to the trading of stock (the round lots consist of 500
shares) for companies in banking sectors other than for non-banking and 5,000
shares for companies in the banking sector. The price movements for shares
having prices ranging between Rp. 500 and less than Rp. 5,000 should be in
multiples of Rp. 25, and each price movement should be no more than Rp. 250.
The price movements for shares having prices of Rp. 5,000 and above, should be
in multiples of Rp. 50, and each price movement should be no more than Rp. 500.
Auctioning takes place according to price priority and time priority. Price
priority gives priority to buying orders at a lower price or selling orders at
a higher price. If buying or selling orders are placed at the same price,
priority is given to the buying or selling order placed first (time priority).

   The negotiable market trading consists of (i) block trading (i.e., lots of
200,000 shares or more); (ii) odd lot trading with round lots of less than 500
shares or less than 5,000 shares for banking companies; (iii) crossing by an
exchange member receiving buying and selling orders for the same number of
shares at the same price; and (iv) foreign board trading in stocks where
foreign ownership is 49% of listed shares. Odd lots may not be traded more than
5% above or below the latest price on the regular market. Odd lot dealers may
set prices within a range of not more than 7% above or below the regular market
price and must buy or sell stock directly to and from customers in crossing
without charging commission. In the case of newly-listed or newly-traded shares
which have yet to establish a market price, the price referred to is the
initial public offering price.

   Transactions on the JSX regular market and negotiable market are required to
be settled no later than the fourth trading day after the transactions. In case
of a default by an exchange member on settlement upon the due date, the
Indonesian Clearing and Guarantee Corporation, or P.T. Kliring Penjaminan Efek
Indonesia ("KPEI"), may perform the obligations or rights of the defaulting
exchange member, by, for example, buying and/or selling shares in the cash
market in order to settle the defaulted transaction. Any such action by P.T.
KPEI does not eliminate the liabilities of the defaulting party, which effected
the transaction. All cash market transactions must be reported to the JSX. An
exchange member defaulting in settlement is liable to a fine of 0.25% for the
first day and a fine thereafter of 0.5% of the transaction value payable to his
counterpart in the transaction and shall also be issued a warning. Delay in
payment of the fine is also subject to a penalty equal to 1% of the fine for
each calendar day of delay.

   The JSX board of directors may cancel a transaction if proof exists of
fraud, manipulation or the use of insider information. The JSX board of
directors may also suspend trading if there are indications of bogus
transactions or the jacking up of share prices, misleading information, the use
of insider information, counterfeit securities or securities blocked from
trading, or upon the occurrence of other important events that may affect
investment decisions.

   Exchange members may charge a fee for their services based on an agreement
with the clients up to a maximum of 1% of the transaction value. When
conducting stock transactions on the JSX, exchange members are required to pay
a transaction fee equal to the cumulative transaction value for each month of
0.04% of transaction for stocks and other registered securities (subject to a
minimum fee of Rp. 250,000).

   Shareholders or their appointees may request the issuer or a Securities
Administration Bureau appointed by the issuer, at any time during working
hours, to register their shares in the issuer's Registry of Shareholders.

   The Indonesian capital markets are generally less liquid than those in
countries with more developed capital markets. This illiquidity is especially
pronounced for large blocks of securities. Also, prices in the Indonesian
capital markets are typically more volatile than in such other markets.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a holder of Common Stock will be
able to dispose of Common Stock at the prices or at times at which such holder
would be able to do so in more liquid markets or at all. Further, no assurance
can be given that a holder of Common Stock will be able to dispose of Common
Stock at or above such holder's purchase price.

  Common stock

   The following is a summary of the material rights and restrictions related
to the Common Stock of Indosat based upon applicable provisions of Indonesian
law and provisions of Indosat's Articles of Association (the "Articles"), which
were most recently amended on December 27, 2002 and approved by the Minister of
Justice on March 21, 2003. This description does not purport to be complete and
is qualified by reference to the Articles and the laws of Indonesia relating to
companies.

   All of the shares of Common Stock are registered shares and are issued in
the name of the owner of the Common Stock registered in the register of
shareholders of Indosat. The Directors keep a register of shareholders of
Indosat, and Indosat must treat the person whose name is entered in such
register of shareholders as the only person entitled to exercise any rights
conferred by law with respect to such Common Stock.

   All transfers of Common Stock must be evidenced by an instrument of transfer
signed by or on behalf of the transferor and by or on behalf of the transferee
or based on other letters, which give satisfactory evidence of such transfer in
the opinion of the Directors. Transfers of Common Stock take effect only after
the transfer is registered in the register of shareholders. The transferor of
any Common Stock will be treated as the owner of such Common Stock until the
name of the transferee has been entered in the register of shareholders.

   The holders of Common Stock are entitled to pre-emptive rights if Indosat
issues Common Stock, convertible bonds, warrants or similar securities. Such
pre-emptive rights may be transferred or assigned to third parties subject to
the restrictions set forth in the stipulations in the Articles and Indonesian
law. Any rights issued shall be first approved by Indosat's general meeting of
shareholders and an announcement of such a plan shall be made by the Board of
Directors in two daily newspapers (one in the English language and one in the
Indonesian language). If the holders of Common Stock do not exercise their
pre-emptive rights within the period fixed by the Board of the Directors in
accordance with the relevant regulations, the Board of Directors may issue such
Common Stock, convertible bonds, warrants or similar securities to third
parties at a price and on terms at least the same as that offered previously to
the existing shareholders and as determined by the Board of Directors.

                                      101



   Indosat's authorized capital stock may be increased or decreased only by a
resolution of an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and an amendment
of the Articles. Any such Amendment will be effective only after it receives
approval from the Minister of Justice.

   As an exception to the above provisions, Indosat, with the approval of a
general meeting of shareholders at which the holder of the Series A share
attends and approves the resolution, may issue new shares without conducting a
limited public offer to shareholders. This issuance may be done provided that
this issue is made for a specified number of shares and such shares are issued
within a specified period of time in compliance with the Indonesian capital
market regulations or under any exemption Indosat may receive therefrom, and
the said shares may be sold by Indosat to any person at a price and upon such
conditions as may be determined by the Board of Directors, provided that the
price is not lower than par value.

   These provisions also apply mutatis mutandis in the event Indosat issues
convertible bonds and/or warrants and/or other similar securities, provided
that any new share issued resulting from convertible bonds and/or warrants
and/or other similar securities shall be for a specified number of shares and
within a specified period of time in compliance with the Indonesian capital
market regulations or any exemption as Indosat may receive therefrom.

  Special share

   The material rights and restrictions which are applicable to the Common
Stock are also applicable to the Special Share, except that the Government may
not transfer the Special Share and has a veto with respect to (i) election and
removal of Directors; (ii) election and removal of Commissioners; (iii) merger,
consolidation and acquisition of Indosat; and (iv) amendments to the Articles,
including amendments to any provision related to the objectives and purposes of
Indosat, increase of authorized capital without pre-emptive rights and the
merger, consolidation, acquisition, dissolution and liquidation of Indosat.

                                      102



  Voting rights

   Each share of Common Stock entitles the registered holder thereof to one
vote at any general meeting of shareholders of Indosat.

   An annual general meeting of shareholders ("AGM") must be held, at the
latest, on June 30 of each year. At the AGM, the Directors must (i) report on
the affairs and management of Indosat and the results for the most recent
financial year; (ii) submit the audited balance sheet and audited profit and
loss statement for that financial year to the meeting for approval; (iii)
determine the plan for use of profits and the amount of dividends for that
financial year; (iv) submit a request for the appointment of a public
accountant; and (v) submit all other matters to be addressed at the meeting.
All materials described in (i) through (v) will be made available at Indosat
for inspection by shareholders no later than 21 days prior to the AGM.
Proposals duly submitted by shareholders representing at least 25% of Indosat's
subscribed shares may be included in the agenda of such meeting, provided that
such proposals are received by the Board of Directors at least 14 days prior to
such meeting.

   The Board of Directors or the Board of Commissioners may convene an
extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and must convene such a meeting
upon receipt of written notice from a shareholder or shareholders representing
at least one tenth of the subscribed shares of Indosat. If the Directors fail
to give notice of such a meeting within 35 days of sending such notice, the
shareholders concerned or the Board of Commissioners may call this meeting at
the expense of Indosat.

   Announcement of a general meeting must be given to shareholders at least 14
days prior to the notice for the general meeting by an advertisement in at
least two daily newspapers (one in the Indonesian language and one in the
English language), one of which has a wide circulation in Indonesia. Notice
must be given by advertisement in at least two daily newspapers, one of which
is in the Indonesian language and has a wide circulation in Indonesia and one
of which is in the English language at least 14 days before the date of the
meeting. In the case of an extraordinary general meeting, notice must be given
by advertisement at least 21 days before the date of an annual general meeting,
in each case, excluding the date of the notice and the date of the meeting.

   If all shareholders are present and/or represented, notice requirements may
be waived and the general meeting of shareholders may adopt binding resolutions.

   The quorum for a general meeting of shareholders requires shareholders
representing at least 1/2 of the issued shares of Common Stock to be
represented in person or by a power of attorney at such meeting.

   Shareholders may be represented at a general meeting of shareholders by a
person holding a power of attorney, but no Commissioner, Director or employee
of Indosat may act in such capacity. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles,
and subject to the special voting rights of the Special Share, resolutions in
order to be adopted must receive the affirmative vote of the holders of more
than 50% of the shares of Common Stock which are present and being voted at the
meeting (simple majority votes).

  Fiscal year and accounts

   The fiscal year of Indosat commences on January 1 and ends on December 31.

   No later than 90 days from the closing of the fiscal year, the Board of
Directors must submit the balance sheet, profit and loss account and other
financial statements audited by a public accountant to the Board of
Commissioners, who must review these statements and report on this review to
the general meeting of shareholders. Copies of such documents must be available
at the head office of Indosat from the date of notice for the annual general
meeting of shareholders until the date of closing of the annual general meeting.

   The annual general meeting of shareholders will consider and decide whether
or not the balance sheet and profit and loss account of Indosat is approved.
Such approval fully discharges the Board of Directors and the

                                      103



Board of Commissioners from their responsibilities during the fiscal year to
the extent that such actions are reflected in such balance sheet and profit and
loss account.

  Utilization of profit and dividends

   The profits of Indosat, as determined by the AGM, after deduction of
corporate taxes, must be used as a reserve fund for dividends and for other
purposes, the percentage of which must be determined annually by a general
meeting of shareholders.

   Dividends are paid in accordance with a resolution adopted at a general
meeting of shareholders upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors. This
resolution also determines the time and manner of payment of the dividends. All
shares of Common Stock which are fully paid and outstanding at the time a
dividend or other distribution is declared are entitled to share equally in
such dividends or other distribution. Dividends are payable to the persons
whose names are entered in the register of shareholders of Indosat on a
business day determined by the general meeting of shareholders when the
resolution for the distribution of dividends is adopted.

   The Board of Directors and the Board of Commissioners may, by resolutions of
both, declare interim dividends if the financial condition of Indosat permits,
provided that such interim dividends are offset against the dividends to be
declared at the subsequent annual general meeting.

   Dividends unclaimed after five years from the date on which they are payable
cease to be payable and are to be credited to the reserve fund of Indosat.
Notices concerning dividends and interim dividends must be announced in at
least two daily newspapers in the Indonesian language with wide or national
circulation in Indonesia, in one daily newspaper in the English language and on
the stock exchange where the shares are listed.

   If the profit and loss account in one fiscal year shows a loss which cannot
be covered by the reserve fund referred to below, the loss remains recorded as
such in the profit and loss account, and for the succeeding years Indosat is
deemed not to have made a profit if the loss recorded as such in the profit and
loss account has not been fully covered.

   To cover future losses, a reserve fund may be created and the amount of the
reserve fund will be determined by a general meeting of shareholders. The
reserve fund may be used for capital outlays or other purposes as determined at
the annual general meeting of shareholders. However, it must be used only for
the benefit of Indosat. Any profits earned from such reserve fund shall be
entered in the profit and loss account of Indosat.

  Amendments to the Articles of Association

   Amendments to the Articles may be made only by a resolution of an
extraordinary general meeting of shareholders attended by at least two-thirds
of the issued shareholders and approved by two-thirds of the shareholders with
voting rights. Provided that any changes in Series A share rights, any changes
in the objectives and purposes of Indosat, increasing or reducing Indosat's
authorized capital, reducing the subscribed capital, dissolving Indosat, any
merger, consolidation and acquisition plan, can be affected only if the meeting
is attended and the action approved by the holder of the Series A share. A
resolution regarding a reduction of the authorized capital must be published by
the Directors in the State Gazette of Indonesia and at least two daily
newspapers, one of which is in the Indonesian language having a national
circulation for the benefit of creditors. In case a quorum for the
extraordinary general meeting is not reached, within seven to thirty days from
the original extraordinary general meeting a second meeting may be held to
decide on matters which were not resolved at the first meeting and these
matters may be approved by majority vote. All such amendments only become
effective upon the approval of the Ministry of Justice of Indonesia.

                                      104



  Transactions with affiliates

   It is the policy of Indosat not to enter into transaction with affiliates
unless the terms thereof are no less favorable to Indosat than those which
could be obtained by Indosat on an arm's length basis from an unaffiliated
third party.

   Under BAPEPAM regulations, once Indosat is listed on an Indonesian stock
exchange, any transaction in which there is a conflict of interest (as defined
below) must be approved by a majority of the shareholders of Common Stock who
do not have a conflict of interest in the proposed transaction, unless the
conflict existed before Indosat was listed and was fully disclosed in the
offering documents. A conflict of interest is defined in BAPEPAM regulations to
mean the difference between the common interests of Indosat and its
shareholders, on the one hand, and the personal economic interests of the
members of the Board of Commissioners, Board of Directors or principal
shareholders (a holder of 20% or more of the issued shares), jointly or
severally. A conflict of interest also exists under BAPEPAM regulations when
members of the Board of Commissioners, Board of Directors or a principal
shareholder of Indosat is involved in a transaction in which their personal
interests may be in conflict with the interest of Indosat, unless otherwise
excepted by BAPEPAM regulations.

   Indosat expects, in light of the substantial presence which enterprises
owned or controlled by the Selling Shareholder or one of its affiliates have in
Indonesia, that it may be desirable, in connection with the development and
growth of Indosat's business, for Indosat to enter into joint ventures or other
arrangements or transactions with such enterprise from time to time. Under such
circumstances, Indosat may seek to consult BAPEPAM in determining whether the
proposed joint venture, arrangement or transaction would require a vote of
disinterested shareholders under the terms of the BAPEPAM rule. If BAPEPAM were
of the view that the proposed joint venture, arrangement or transaction would
not require a vote of disinterested shareholders under its rule, Indosat would
proceed without seeking disinterested shareholder approval. If, however,
BAPEPAM were to take the position that the proposal would require a vote of
disinterested shareholders under its rule, Indosat would either seek to obtain
the requisite disinterested shareholder approval or abandon the proposal.

   On April 19, 2002, Telkom and the PIN stockholders, including the Company,
entered into a Conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement ('CSPA"), whereby the
stockholders agreed to sell and transfer all their shares in PIN to Telkom at a
total selling price of approximately US$ 381.5 million in three share-purchase
transactions, as follows:

   .   30% of the shares at the Initial Closing date, which occured on August
       1, 2002;

   .   15% of the shares at the Interim Closing Date, which is scheduled to
       occur not later than September 30, 2003; and

   .   55% of the shares at the Subsequent Closing Date, which shall occur not
       later than December 31, 2004.

   On September 17, 2002, Telkom paid approximately US$9.3 million in cash as
an initial payment after the release of the PIN pledged shares by, and upon
repayment by PIN of all amounts (principal, interest and others) payable to
International Finance Corporation, one of PIN's stockholders. At the initial
payment date, the stockholders of PIN also received a net working capital
reimbursement from PIN. The balance of the selling price of approximately
US$372.2 million, plus the corresponding interest for the applicable period,
will be settled by Telkom through the issuance of promissory notes payable in
ten quarterly installments of specific amounts.

                                      105



   Based on an amendment dated August 1, 2002 to the CSPA, the Initial Closing
Date was changed to August 15, 2002. In addition, the sum of Rp. 3.2 billion
was withheld by Telkom from the initial installment of the working capital
reimbursement as a security for the costs of obtaining land title certificates
for the account of PIN.

   As of December 31, 2002, the Company had received from Telkom US$5.4 million
for the initial payment and Rp. 32.2 billion for the working capital
reimbursement.

   In May 2002, we entered into a sale and purchase agreement with DeTe for the
acquisition of DeTe's 25% equity interest in Satelindo for US$325 million.
Completion of this transaction occurred in September 2002, and, as a result, we
obtained effective control of 100% of Satelindo.

Taxation

   The following summary contains a description of the principal Indonesian and
U.S. federal tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of
ADSs or shares of Common Stock. This summary does not purport to be a
comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant
to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of ADSs or shares of Common Stock.
PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE INDONESIAN
AND UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE
PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF ADSs OR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

  Indonesian taxation

   The following is a summary of the principal Indonesian tax consequences of
the ownership and disposition of Common Stock or ADSs to a non-resident
individual or non-resident entity that holds Common Stock or ADSs (a
"Non-Indonesian Holder"). As used in the preceding sentence, a "non-resident
individual" is a foreign national individual who is not physically present in
Indonesia for 183 days or more during any twelve-month period or present for
any period with the intent to reside in Indonesia, during which period such
non-resident individual receives income in respect of the ownership or
disposition of Common Stock or ADSs. A "non-resident entity" is a corporation
or a non-corporate body that is established, domiciled or organized under the
laws of a jurisdiction other than Indonesia and does not have a fixed place of
business or otherwise conducts business or carries out activities through a
permanent establishment in Indonesia during an Indonesian tax year in which the
non-Indonesian entity receives income from the ownership or disposition of
Common Stock or ADSs. In determining the residency of an individual or entity,
consideration will be given to the provisions of any applicable double taxation
treaty to which Indonesia is a party.

   Dividends.  Dividends declared by us out of retained earnings and
distributed to a Non-Indonesian Holder in respect of Common Stock or ADSs are
subject to Indonesian withholding tax, currently at the rate of 20%, on the
amount of the distribution (in the case of cash dividends) or on the
shareholders' proportional share of the value of the distribution. A lower rate
provided under double taxation treaties may be applicable, provided the
recipient is the beneficial owner of the dividend and has provided us (with a
copy to the Indonesian Office of Tax Services where we are registered) a
certificate of tax domicile issued by the competent authority, or its designee,
of the jurisdiction where the Non-Indonesian Holder is domiciled. Indonesia has
concluded double taxation treaties with over 30 countries, including Australia,
Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Mauritius, the Netherlands,
Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of
America. Under the U.S.-Indonesia tax treaty, the withholding tax on dividends
is generally, in the absence of a 20% voting interest, reduced to 15%.

   Capital gains.  The sale or transfer of Common Stock listed on an Indonesian
stock exchange is subject to tax at the rate of 0.1% of the value of the
transaction. The broker handling the transaction is obligated to withhold such
tax. The holding, sale or transfer of founder shares listed on an Indonesian
stock exchange may, under current Indonesian tax regulations, be subject to an
additional 0.5% final income tax. Subject to the promulgation

                                      106



of implementing regulations (which have not been issued to date), the estimated
net income received or accrued from the sale of movable assets in Indonesia,
which may include Common Stock not listed on an Indonesian stock exchange or
ADSs, by a Non-Indonesian holder (with the exception of the sale of assets
under Article 4, paragraph (2) of the Indonesian income tax law) may be subject
to Indonesian withholding tax at the rate of 20%. However, this provision in
the income tax law is not currently applied in practice. It is expected that,
if and when further implementing regulations are issued in respect to this
provision in the income tax law, this withholding tax will (i) only be applied
if Common Stock not listed on an Indonesian stock exchange is purchased and
paid for by an Indonesian resident subject to tax or by a permanent
establishment in Indonesia of a non-resident entity or individual and (ii) not
affect the net proceeds from any sale or transfer of ADSs through a regular
trade on the NYSE by a Non-Indonesian Holder.

   In cases where a purchaser or Indonesian broker will be required under
Indonesian tax laws to withhold tax on payment of the purchase price for Common
Stock or ADSs, that payment may be exempt from Indonesian withholding or other
Indonesian income tax under applicable double taxation treaties to which
Indonesia is a party (including the U.S.-Indonesia double taxation treaty).
However, current Indonesian tax regulations do not provide specific procedures
for removing the purchaser's or Indonesian broker's obligation to withhold tax
from the proceeds of such sale. To take advantage of the double taxation treaty
relief, Non-Indonesian Holders may have to seek a refund from the Indonesian
Tax Office by making a specific application accompanied by a Certificate of
Domicile issued by the competent tax authority or its designee of the
jurisdiction in which the Non-Indonesian Holder is domiciled.

   Stamp duty.  Transactions in common stock in Indonesia are subject to stamp
duty payable at the rate of Rp. 6,000 on transactions with a value of more than
Rp. 1,000,000 and Rp. 3,000 on transactions with a value of between Rp. 250,000
to Rp. 1,000,000. Transactions with a value of less than Rp. 250,000 are not
subject to stamp duty.

  United States federal income taxation

   The following discussion addresses the principal United States federal
income tax consequences to a United States Holder, as defined below, of owning
ADSs or shares of Common Stock. The description below is based on the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder, the income tax convention between the United States and Indonesia
and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as in effect on
the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly retroactively.
The tax treatment of a holder of ADSs or shares of Common Stock may vary
depending upon the holder's particular situation. Certain holders (including,
but not limited to, insurance companies, partnerships or other pass-through
entities, tax-exempt organizations, banks, insurance companies, financial
institutions, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, broker-dealers,
persons that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar, persons
that received ADSs or shares of Common Stock as compensation for services,
persons owning, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of our voting shares, and
persons who hold ADSs or shares of Common Stock as part of a "hedge",
"straddle" or "conversion transaction" within the meaning of Sections 1221,
1092 and 1258 of the Code and the regulations thereunder) may be subject to
special rules not discussed below. Except as discussed below with regard to
persons who are not United States Holders, the following summary is limited to
United States Holders who will hold ADSs or shares of Common Stock as "capital
assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. The discussion below
does not address the effect of any state or local tax law on a holder of ADSs
or shares of Common Stock.

   As used herein, the term "United States Holder" means a holder of ADSs or
shares of Common Stock that is for United States federal income tax purposes
(i) a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation or
partnership (including any entity treated as a corporation or partnership for
United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the
laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii)
an estate whose income is subject to United States taxation regardless of its
source; (iv) certain trusts; or (v) a holder whose income in respect of the
ADSs or shares of the Common Stock is subject to United States federal income
tax on a net income basis.

                                      107



   The summary below does not discuss all aspects of United States federal
income taxation that may be relevant to a particular holder of ADSs or shares
of Common Stock in light of their (or its) particular circumstances and income
tax situation. Prospective holders should consult their own tax advisors as to
the specific tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and
disposition of ADSs or shares of Common Stock, including the application and
the effect of state, local, foreign and other tax laws and the possible effects
of changes in United States or other tax laws.

  Taxation of distributions

   Subject to the discussion under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Status"
below, for United States federal income tax purposes, the amount of a
distribution with respect to ADSs or shares of Common Stock (including any
withholding tax deemed to be imposed with respect to such distributions) will
be treated as a dividend taxable as ordinary income on the date of receipt by
the Depository or the holder, respectively, to the extent of our current and
accumulated earnings and profits as determined for United States federal income
tax purposes. Under recently enacted legislation, with respect to United States
Holders that are non-corporate taxpayers for taxable years after December 31,
2002 and before January 1, 2009, such dividends may be taxed at the lower
applicable capital gains rate, provided certain holding period requirements are
satisfied. Non-corporate United States Holders are strongly urged to consult
their own tax advisers as to the applicability of the lower capital gains rate
to dividends received with respect to ADSs or shares of Common Stock.
Distributions, if any, in excess of such current and accumulated earnings and
profits will first constitute a non-taxable return of capital to the extent
thereof, and then as a capital gain realized on the disposition of the ADSs or
shares of Common Stock. The portion of any distribution treated as a
non-taxable return of capital will reduce such holder's tax basis in such ADSs
or shares of Common Stock. Such capital gain will be long-term if the ADSs or
shares of Common Stock have been held longer than one year. United States
Holders will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction otherwise
allowed under the Code for distributions to domestic corporations in respect of
distributions on the ADSs or Common Stock.

   If a distribution is paid in any currency other than United States dollars,
the amount of the distribution will be translated into United States dollars at
the spot rate on the date the distribution is received (which, for holders of
ADSs, would be the date such dividend is received by the Depositary),
regardless of whether the distributions are in fact converted into U.S. dollars
on that date. Any gain or loss in respect of such non-United States currency
arising from exchange rate fluctuations after that date will be ordinary income
or loss.

  Taxation of capital gains and losses

   Subject to the discussion under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Status"
below, a United States Holder will generally recognize a taxable gain or loss
on the sale, exchange or other disposition of ADSs or shares of Common Stock in
an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale,
exchange or other disposition, and such holder's adjusted tax basis in such
ADSs or shares of Common Stock. This will result in a long-term or short-term
capital gain or loss, depending on whether the ADSs or shares of Common Stock
have been held for more than one year. For non-corporate United States Holders,
the net long-term capital gain recognized will be subject to a reduced rate.
Deposit and withdrawal of Common Stock in exchange for ADSs by a United States
Holder will not result in a realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income
tax purposes.

  Passive Foreign Investment Company status

   Special United States federal income tax rules apply to a United States
Holder that holds an equity interest in a passive foreign investment company
("PFIC"). In general, a foreign corporation will constitute a PFIC for United
States federal income tax purposes if 75% or more of its gross income for a
taxable year consists of passive income (generally, interest, dividend, rents,
royalties and net gain from the disposition of assets that give rise to such
income) or 50% or more of its average assets held during a taxable year consist
of passive assets. Passive assets are defined as assets that give rise, or that
reasonably could give rise during the reasonably foreseeable future, to passive
income.

                                      108



   Based upon our existing and anticipated future operations and current
assets, we believe that we are not, and anticipate that we will not become in
the foreseeable future, a PFIC. If we are not operated in the manner currently
anticipated, however, we may be considered a PFIC for the current or for a
subsequent year depending upon our actual activities.

   If we are or become a PFIC, a United States Holder would be treated as
realizing a gain from the sale or disposition of ADSs or shares of Common Stock
and certain "excess distributions" ratably over such holder's holding period
for the ADSs or shares of Common Stock and would be taxed at the highest tax
rate in effect for each such year to which the gain or excess distribution was
allocated, together with an interest charge on the tax attributable to each
such year. An election may be available to avoid these adverse tax
consequences, but only if (i) the United States Holder may and does elect to
annually mark-to-market the ADSs or shares of Common Stock, or (ii) assuming
certain conditions which are unlikely to be met, the United States Holder
elects to include in income annually its share of our income and gain.

   Should we ever be classified as a PFIC, United States Holders are advised to
consult their tax advisors concerning the United States federal income tax
consequences of holding the ADSs or shares of Common Stock and of making the
mark-to-market election. A United States Holder who owns ADSs or shares of
Common Stock during any year that we are a PFIC must file with the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") Form 8621.

  Foreign tax credit considerations

   For United States federal income tax purposes, United States Holders will be
treated as having received the amount of any Indonesian tax withheld upon the
payment of a dividend and as then having paid over the withheld taxes to
Indonesia. As a result of this rule, the amount of dividend included in a
United States Holder's gross income may be greater than the amount of cash
actually received (or receivable) by the United States Holder.

   Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Code, United
States Holders may elect to claim a credit against their United States federal
income tax liability for Indonesian tax withheld from dividends or Indonesian
tax imposed on capital gains, if any, or, if they do not elect to credit any
foreign tax for the taxable year, they may deduct such tax. For purposes of the
foreign tax credit limitation, foreign source income is classified into one of
several "baskets", and the credit for foreign taxes on income in any basket is
limited to United States federal income tax allocable to that income. Dividends
or capital gains will generally constitute "passive income" or "financial
services income" for purposes of the foreign tax credit limitation. Dividends
will generally constitute foreign source income and currency and capital gains
will generally constitute United States source income. Capital loss will
generally be allocated against United States source income. Because capital
gains will generally constitute United States source income, as a result of the
United States foreign tax credit limitation, any Indonesian or other foreign
tax imposed upon capital gains in respect of ADSs or shares of Common Stock may
not be currently creditable unless a United States Holder had other foreign
source income for the year in the appropriate foreign tax credit limitation
basket or an election to treat such gain as foreign source income is available.
Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of
the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

  Non-U.S. holders

   Except for the possible imposition of United States backup withholding tax
(see "--United States Backup Withholding and Information Reporting"), payments
of any dividend on an ADS or share of Common Stock to a holder who is not a
United States Holder (a "non-U.S. Holder") will not be subject to United States
federal income tax and gain from the sale, redemption or other disposition of
an ADS or shares of Common Stock, provided that:

   (a) the non-U.S. Holder shall not be or have been engaged in a trade or
       business in the United States;

   (b) there is no present or former connection between such non-U.S. Holder
       and the United States, including, without limitation, such non-U.S.
       Holder's status as a former citizen thereof or former resident thereof;
       and

                                      109



   (c) in the case of a gain from the sale, redemption or other disposition of
       an ADS or share of Common Stock by an individual, the non-U.S. Holder is
       not present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable
       year of the sale or certain other conditions are met.

   If dividends, gain or income with respect to an ADS or share of Common Stock
of a non-U.S. Holder is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or
business (or attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States, in
the case of a holder who is a resident of a country which has an income tax
treaty with the United States), the non-U.S. Holder may be subject to United
States income taxes on such dividends, gains or income at the statutory rates
provided for United States Holders after the deduction of deductible expenses
allocable to such effectively connected dividends, gains or income. In
addition, if the non-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to
a branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and
profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items, unless a lower
rate applies under a United States income tax treaty with the non-U.S. Holder's
country of residence. For this purpose, dividends, gains or income in respect
of an ADS or share of Common Stock will be included in earnings and profits
subject to the branch profits tax if the dividends, gains or income is
effectively connected with the conduct of the United States trade or business
of the non-U.S. Holder.

  United States backup withholding and information reporting

   Payments made by a U.S. paying agent or other United States intermediary
broker in respect of ADSs or shares of Common Stock may be subject to
information reporting to the IRS and to a backup withholding tax. Backup
withholding will not apply, however, (i) to a holder who furnishes a correct
taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or
(ii) to a holder who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding.

   Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a
holder will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the holder's United
States federal income tax, provided that the holder has complied with
applicable reporting obligations.

Documents on Display

   Any material which is filed as an exhibit to this annual report on Form 20-F
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is available for inspection at
our offices. See "Information on the Company--Registered Offices".

Item 11:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

   The Company did not enter into any derivative transactions in 2002 and has
no outstanding derivatives as of December 31, 2002. Indosat's subsidiary, P.T.
Lintasarta, entered into a foreign currency swap contract in 1997, which was
settled on April 5, 2002.

   We are exposed to market risks primarily from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates, changes in interest rates and equity price risk on the value of
our long-term investments. Other than the forgoing swap transaction of
Lintasarta, we do not currently hedge our monetary assets and liabilities
against foreign currency risk, as we believe that our foreign currency revenues
and assets form a natural hedge against foreign currency liabilities. See
"Operating and Financial Review and Prospects--Liquidity and Capital
Resources." Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed through maintaining a
mix of fixed and variable rate liabilities and assets. Our exposure to such
market risks continued to remain volatile during 2002, as the Indonesian
economy was affected by significant fluctuations in the Rupiah in 2001 and
2002. We cannot determine whether such volatility will continue during 2003 or
thereafter.

                                      110



Interest Rate Sensitivity

   Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations results primarily from debt owed
by Satelindo, Lintasarta, and to some extent, from debt owed by the Company.

   Debt owed by the Company includes floating rate long-term debt pursuant to
loans from the Government of Indonesia for the construction of the SEA-ME-WE 2
submarine cable, which bears interest at rates tied to rates set by Bank
Indonesia and state-owned Indonesian banks, the working capital loan from BNI,
the Loan facility from BCA, the First Indosat Bond which was issued by the
Company in April 2001 and the Second Indosat Bond which was issued in November
2002. Because interest under the major credit facilities owed by Satelindo,
Lintasarta and Indosat is payable at LIBOR plus the applicable margin, exposure
under those facilities is mainly due to fluctuations in LIBOR. Interest under
the First Indosat Bond and the Second Indosat Bond is based on a mix of fixed
and variable rates. In addition, as of December 31, 2002, the Company and its
subsidiaries hold US$ denominated and Rp. denominated deposits, which also have
exposure to interest rate fluctuations. See "Note to Financial Statement No. 15
and 16". Also see "Information on the Company--Principal Indebtedness" for
further information regarding interest rates under the loans of the Company and
our subsidiaries.

   The following table provides information about the Company's and our
subsidiaries' financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest
rates. For long-term debts and bonds payable, the table presents principal cash
flows and related variable interest rates by expected maturity dates.

   The information presented in the table has been determined based on the
following assumptions: (i) variable interest rates in time deposits denominated
in U.S. dollar and rupiah are based on the average interest rates for
three-month period of time deposits from five state owned banks on December 31,
2002; (ii) interest rates in long-term debts denominated in rupiah are based on
the agreements such as: average interest rate for three-month period of time
deposits from five state owned banks on December 31, 2002 plus 1% margin,
average interest rate for three-month period of Certificates of Bank Indonesia
on December 31, 2002 plus 3.25% margin; (iii) interest rates on long-term debts
and bonds payable in U.S. dollars are based on the agreements that is LIBOR as
of December 31, 2002 plus the applicable margin during the interest period; and
(iv) the series B of Indosat Bond II mature in 2027. However, no assurance can
be given that such assumptions will be correct for future periods. Such
assumptions and the information described in the table may be influenced by a
number of factors, including increases in interest rates in Indonesia resulting
from continued tight liquidity and other monetary and macroeconomic factors
affecting Indonesia. Such assumptions are different from the rates used in the
Consolidated Financial Statements, and accordingly amounts shown in the table
may vary from amounts shown in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

   The Company's exposure to exchange rate fluctuations results primarily from
US$ long term debt obligations and accounts receivable and payable. As for the
Company's subsidiaries, including Satelindo and Lintasarta, their exposure to
exchange rate fluctuations results primarily from their US$ denominated long
term debts.

   Indosat's accounts payable are primarily foreign currency net settlement
payments to foreign carriers, while a significant proportion of its accounts
receivable are Rupiah denominated payments from domestic operators. To the
extent the Rupiah depreciates further from exchange rates in effect at December
31, 2002, the Company's obligations under such accounts payable would increase
in Rupiah terms. The increases in these obligations

                                      112



would be offset in part by increases in the value of foreign currency
denominated term deposits and by increases in the value of foreign currency
accounts receivable. With respect to the Company's subsidiaries' long term
debt, to the extent the Rupiah depreciates further from exchange rates in
effect at December 31, 2002, the Company's subsidiaries' obligations under
their long term debt would increase in Rupiah terms.

   The following table provides information about our financial instruments by
functional currency and presents such information in Rupiah equivalents, which
is the Company's reporting currency. The table summarizes information on
instruments and transactions that are sensitive to foreign exchange rates,
including term deposits, the Company's accounts payable and receivable, and the
Company's subsidiaries' financial instruments including term deposit, account
receivable and account payable, and their long term debt. The table presents
principal cash flows by expected maturity dates.

   The information presented in the table has been determined on the assumption
that the exchange rate for US$ is based on the Indonesian Central Bank Rate on
December 31, 2002 of Rp. 8,940 = US$1.00. However, no assurance can be given
that such an assumption or that such an exchange rate will be correct or
available in future periods. This assumption and the information described in
the table may be influenced by a number of factors, including a further
depreciation of the Rupiah in future periods. See "Risk Factors --Devaluation
or volatility of the Rupiah, especially as against the U.S. dollar, may
adversely affect our financial results". Such assumptions may be different from
the rates used in the Consolidated Financial Statements, and accordingly
amounts shown in the table may vary from amounts shown in the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Equity Price Risk

   Our long-term investments consist primarily of minority investments in the
equity of private Indonesian companies, as well as investments in debt issued
by Indonesian and foreign issuers and equity of foreign

                                      113



companies. With respect to the Indonesian companies in which the Company has
investments, the financial performance of such companies may be adversely
affected by the economic conditions in Indonesia.

Item 12:  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

   Not Applicable.

Item 13:  DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES

   Following the Asian financial crisis and the related devaluation of the
Rupiah as against the U.S. dollar in late 1997, Satelindo defaulted on its debt
obligations in 1998. Satelindo restructured its debt obligations in 2000, as
described more fully under the caption "Principal Indebtedness" in Item 4 of
this annual report. Immediately prior to the restructuring, Satelindo had a
total principal amount of indebtedness of US$530.5 million, of which US$519.1
million was restructured. As of December 31, 2002, neither we nor our
subsidiaries had a material default relating to our outstanding indebtedness.

Item 14:  MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF
        PROCEEDS

   Not Applicable.

Item 15:  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

   We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its
President Director and Finance Director, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the
disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and, in
reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required
to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible
controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated
entities. As we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure
controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily
substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our
consolidated subsidiaries.

   In the 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our President Director and Finance Director, of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on
the foregoing, our President Director and Finance Director concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

   There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the
date we completed our evaluation.

Independent Auditors' Report

Report No. RPC-0936/02

Stockholders and Boards of Commissioners and Directors
Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Indonesian Satellite Corporation Tbk

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Perusahaan
Perseroan (Persero) PT Indonesian Satellite Corporation Tbk and Subsidiaries as
of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income,
changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December
31, 2001 and for the year then ended were audited by other auditors who have
ceased operations, whose report dated March 14, 2002, expressed an unqualified
opinion on those Statements, and included an explanatory paragraph that
described the effects of the current economic conditions in Indonesia on the
Company. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December
31, 2000 and for the year then ended, before restatement, were audited by other
auditors whose report dated March 22, 2001, expressed an unqualified opinion on
those statements and included an explanatory paragraph that described the
effects of the current economic conditions in Indonesia on the Company.

   We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in Indonesia and the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the 2002 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Indonesian Satellite Corporation Tbk and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in Indonesia.

                                      F-3



   Accounting principles generally accepted in Indonesia vary in certain
respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America would have affected the consolidated stockholders' equity as
of December 31, 2002 and the consolidated results of their operations for the
year then ended to the extent summarized in Notes 39, 40 and 41 to the
consolidated financial statements.

Independent Auditors' Report

Report No. 36949S

Stockholders and Boards of Commissioners and Directors
Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Indonesia Satellite Corporation Tbk

   We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Perusahaan Perseroan
(Persero) PT Indonesian Satellite Corporation Tbk and Subsidiaries ("the
Companies") as of December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of
income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Companies' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the
consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
2001 of PT Satelit Palapa Indonesia and Subsidiaries, entities in which the
investment had been accounted for using the equity method until the controlling
interest was acquired in May 2001 as discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated
financial statements. The equity in the net income of these entities represents
18.3% of the net income in 1999, and their total assets and revenues constitute
29.6% and 45.8%, respectively, of the consolidated totals in 2001. Those
statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to
us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those
entities, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. Furthermore, the
Companies' consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2000 were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 22, 2001,
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The opinion of such
auditors, however, does not cover the restatement of the Companies'
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 as
discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in Indonesia and the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

   In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors on
the consolidated financial statements of PT Satelit Palapa Indonesia and
Subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2001, the consolidated
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Companies as of December 31, 2001, and
the results of their operations, changes in their stockholders' equity and
their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2001 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles in Indonesia. We have also
audited the adjustments described in Note 5 that were applied to restate the
consolidated financial statements of the Companies for the year ended December
31, 2000. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been
properly applied.

   Generally accepted accounting principles in Indonesia vary in certain
respects with those in the United States of America. A description of the
significant differences between those two generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"), the effects of those differences on net income and
stockholders' equity, and additional U.S. GAAP disclosures are set forth in
Notes 40, 41 and 42, respectively, to the consolidated financial statements.

                                      F-5



   Note 37 to the consolidated financial statements summarizes the effects the
current economic condition in Indonesia has had on the Companies, as well as
measures the Companies have implemented and plan to implement in response to
the economic condition. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the effects of the economic condition to the extent they can be
determined and estimated.

Independent Auditors' Report

No.: L.00 - 1863 - 01/US.R

The Shareholders, Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors
Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Indonesian Satellite Corporation Tbk and
  Subsidiaries:

   We have audited the consolidated statements of income, changes in
shareholders' equity, and cash flows (before restatement) of Perusahaan
Perseroan (Persero) PT Indonesian Satellite Corporation Tbk ("the Company") and
Subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2000. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.

   We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in Indonesia and in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements (before restatement)
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of
operations and cash flows of Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Indonesian
Satellite Corporation Tbk and Subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2000,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Indonesia.

   Accounting principles generally accepted in Indonesia vary in certain
significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Application of accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America would have affected results of
operations for the year ended 31 December 2000, to the extent summarized in
Note 40 to the consolidated financial statements (before restatement).

   As discussed in Note 36 to the consolidated financial statements, some Asia
Pacific countries, including Indonesia, are experiencing economic difficulties
including liquidity problems, volatility in prices, and significant slowdowns
in business activity.

1.  GENERAL

  a.  Company's Establishment

   Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Indonesian Satellite Corporation Tbk ("the

based on the notarial deed No. 55 of Mohamad Said Tadjoedin, S.H. The deed of
establishment was published in Supplement No. 24 of State Gazette No. 26 dated
March 29, 1968 of the Republic of Indonesia. The Company's articles of

The stockholders also resolved to amend the Company's articles of association
concerning the changes in the following:

   .   Name and domicile of the Company;

   .   Number of years the Company shall exist;

   .   Purposes, objectives and business activities of the Company.

   As of December 31, 2002, the new articles of association of the Company has
not yet been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights of the
Republic of Indonesia.

   According to article 3 of its articles of association, the Company shall
engage in providing network and/or telecommunications services and informatics
by conducting the following activities:

   .   Provision of networks, telecommunications services and informatics;

   .   Planning, construction and procurement of telecommunications facilities

   .   Development of networks, telecommunications services and informatics.

   The Company started its commercial operations in 1969.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
                               December 31, 2002
                  With Comparative Figures for 2000 and 2001
 (Expressed in millions of Rupiah and thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share
                               and tariff data)

international telecommunications services, such as low- and high-speed leased
lines, video link, TV link, Integrated Services Digital Network ("ISDN")
services, and other services that typically involve the transmission of data or
video rather than voice traffic.

   Based on Law No. 3 of 1989 on Telecommunications, pursuant to Government
Regulation No. 77 of 1991, the Company has been confirmed as an international
telecommunications service provider and organizing entity.

   In 1999, the Government issued Law No. 36 on Telecommunications which took
effect starting in September 2000. Under the Law, telecommunications activities
cover:

   .   Telecommunications networks

   .   Telecommunications services

   .   Special telecommunications services.

   National state-owned companies, regional state-owned companies, privately
owned companies and cooperatives are allowed to provide telecommunications
networks and services. Individuals, government institutions and legal entities,
other than telecommunications networks and service providers, are allowed to
render special telecommunications services.

   Law No. 36 prohibits activities that result in monopolistic practices and
unhealthy competition.

   On August 14, 2000, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, through the
Ministry of Communications, granted the Company an in-principle license as a
nationwide Digital Communication System ("DCS") 1800 telecommunications
provider as compensation for the early termination effective August 1, 2003 of
the rights on international telecommunications services given to the Company
prior to the granting of such license. This in-principle license is valid for
two years provided that the Company is able to develop a national coverage of
at least 10% of the country's populated geographic area within two years. On
August 23, 2001, the Company obtained the operating license from the Ministry
of Communications. Subsequently, based on Decree No. KP.247 dated November 6,
2001 issued by the Ministry of Communications, the operating license was
transferred to the Company's newly established subsidiary, PT Indosat Multi
Media Mobile (see "d" below).

   On September 7, 2000, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, through
the Ministry of Communications, also granted the Company in-principle licenses
for local and domestic long-distance telecommunications services as
compensation for the termination of its rights on international
telecommunications services. On the other hand, Telkom was granted an
in-principle license for international telecommunications services as
compensation for the early termination of Telkom's right on local and domestic
long-distance telecommunications services. The Company's in-principle licenses
for local and domestic long-distance telecommunications services are valid for
2 years from the date of issuance to give the Company sufficient time for the
construction and commercial preparation for the provision of such services.

   On June 28, 2001, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, through the
Directorate General of Post and Telecommunications granted the Company an
in-principle license for voice over internet protocol ("VoIP") service. On
April 26, 2002, the Company was granted an operating license for VoIP with
national coverage. The Company's operating license for voice over internet
protocol will be evaluated every 5 years from the date of issuance.

termination of their exclusive rights on local/domestic and international
telecommunications services, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, the result
of the independent appraisal has not yet been finalized.

with a nominal value of Rp 1,000 per share to Deutsche Telekom Mobilfunk GmbH
("DeTeMobil"), a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG, for Rp 1,300,334 (U.S.$

   Effective May 31, 2001, the net assets of Satelindo and its subsidiaries
(SIB and SMM) were consolidated as a result of the Company's effective
ownership of 75% (see Note 4), while prior to May 31, 2001, the 7.5% investment
in Satelindo was accounted for using the cost method.

   The accounts of APE and Asiatel were consolidated because their financial
and operating policies are controlled by Lintasarta and Sisindosat,
respectively.

   The accounts of IJCL were translated into rupiah amounts at the middle rate
of exchange prevailing at balance sheet date for balance sheet accounts and the
average rate during the year for profit and loss accounts (JPY 1 to Rp 75.79
for 2000). The resulting differences arising from the translations of the
financial statements of IJCL are presented as part of "Difference in Foreign
Currency Translation" under the Stockholders' Equity section of the
consolidated balance sheets. In 2001, IJCL was liquidated (see Note 1d).

   Minority interest in Subsidiaries represents the minority stockholders'
proportionate share in the equity of the Subsidiaries which are not wholly
owned. All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated
in consolidation.

  c.  Accounting for Acquired Businesses

   The cross-ownership transactions with Telkom (see Note 4) have been
accounted for as reorganizations of companies under common control
(pooling-of-interests method), taking into account that the Company and Telkom
are under the common control of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia.
Under the pooling-of-interests method, the historical carrying amounts of the
net equities of the entities have been combined, as if they

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
                               December 31, 2002
                  With Comparative Figures for 2000 and 2001
 (Expressed in millions of Rupiah and thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share
                               and tariff data)

were a single entity for all periods presented, in accordance with SAK 38,
"Accounting for Restructuring Transactions of Entities under Common Control".
The difference between the net consideration paid or received and book values,
net of applicable Income Tax, is shown under Stockholders' Equity as
"Difference in Value from Restructuring Transactions of Entities under Common
Control".

   The acquisition of 100% equity interest in Bimagraha (see Note 4) has been
accounted for using the purchase method, in accordance with SAK 22, "Accounting
for Business Combinations". Under the purchase method, the excess of the
acquisition cost over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired
at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill.

  d.  Cash and Cash Equivalents

   Time deposits and other short-term investments with original maturities of
three months or less at the time of placement or purchase are considered as
"Cash Equivalents".

   Cash and cash equivalents which are pledged as collateral for long-term
debts, letter of credit facilities and bank guarantees are not classified as
part of Cash and Cash Equivalents. These are presented as part of either Other
Current Assets or Non-Current Assets--Others.

  e.  Short-term Investments

   Short-term Investments consist of:

1.  Investment in debt securities

       Investment in debt securities which are classified as available-for-sale
       are recorded at fair value in accordance with SAK 50, "Accounting for
       Investments in Certain Securities". Any unrealized gain (loss) at
       balance sheet date is credited (charged) to "Unrealized Holding Gain
       (Loss) on Marketable Securities" which is a component of Stockholders'
       Equity and will be recognized as income or loss upon realization.

2.  Mutual funds

       Mutual funds are stated at their net assets value at balance sheet date.
       Unrealized gains or losses from the changes in net assets value at
       balance sheet date are credited or charged to current operations.

  f.  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

   Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on management's evaluation
of the collectibility of the accounts at the end of the year.

  g.  Inventories

   Inventories, which mainly consist of starter packs and pulse reload
vouchers, are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The
principal method used to determine cost is the moving-average method.

                               and tariff data)


  h.  Prepaid Expenses

   Prepaid expenses, mainly salaries, rental and insurance, are amortized over
the periods benefited using the straight-line method. The non-current portion
of prepaid expenses is shown as part of "Non-Current Assets--Others".

  i.  Investments

   Investments consist of:

    .   Investments in associated companies

        Investments in shares of stock wherein the Companies have an equity
        interest of at least 20% but not exceeding 50% are accounted for under
        the equity method, whereby the investment cost is increased or
        decreased by the Companies' share of the net earnings or losses of the
        investees since the date of acquisition and decreased by dividends
        received. Equity in net earnings (losses) is being adjusted for the
        straight-line amortization, over five years, of the difference between
        the cost of such investment and the Companies' proportionate share in
        the underlying fair value of the net assets at date of acquisition
        (goodwill).

        At the time an investee that is accounted for under the equity method
        sells its shares to unrelated parties at a price different from its
        book value, the investor's net investment in that investee is affected.
        The investor's net investment is also affected when the contribution to
        the capital stock of an investee made in foreign currency results in
        additional paid-in capital representing the difference between the
        rupiah par value and the rupiah equivalent of the contribution at the
        date of receipt. The Companies recognize the resulting change in their
        net investment in the investee by a credit or charge to "Difference in
        Transactions of Equity Changes in Associated Companies/Subsidiaries",
        net of applicable Income Tax, after adjusting their equity in the
        investee to conform with their accounting policies.

    .   Investments in shares of stock in which the equity interest is less
        than 20%, and other long-term investments are carried at cost.

    .   Investments in equity shares which are classified as available-for-sale
        are recorded at fair value, in accordance with SAK 50.

exchange that can be attributed to the qualifying assets is adjusted to the
Properties under Construction and Installation account. Capitalization of
borrowing costs ceases when the construction or installation is completed and
the constructed or installed asset is ready for its intended use.

  k.  Impairment of Assets Value

   In accordance with SAK 48, "Impairment of Assets Value", the Companies
review whether there is an indication of assets impairment at balance sheet
date. If there is an indication of assets impairment, the Companies estimate
the recoverable amount of the assets. Impairment of assets is recognized as a
charge to current operations.

  l.  Goodwill

   At the time the Companies acquire a subsidiary which is not an entity under
common control, any excess of acquisition cost over the Companies' interest in
the fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable assets, net of liabilities, as
of acquisition date is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is amortized using the
straight-line method over five years. The Companies review the carrying amount
of goodwill whenever events or circumstances indicate that its value is
impaired. Impairment loss is recognized as a charge to current operations.

  m.  Revenue and Expense Recognition

  International Calls

   Revenues from services are accounted for on the accrual basis. At the end of
each year, income from outgoing international calls traffic is recognized on
the basis of the actual recorded traffic for the year. Income from
international calls traffic from overseas international carriers, for which
statements have not been received, is estimated from historical data.

   Operating revenues for interconnection services under interconnection
agreement based on revenue-sharing arrangement (see Note 33) are reported on a
net basis, after interconnection expenses and after allocations to overseas
international carriers. Operating revenues for interconnections that are not
made under contractual sharing agreements, i.e. based on tariff as stipulated
by the Government (see Note 32), are reported on a gross basis, before
interconnection expenses (see Note 21) but after allocations to overseas
international carriers. These interconnection expenses are accounted for as
operating expenses in the year these are incurred.

  Cellular

   Revenues from service connections (connection fees) are recognized as income
at the time the connections take place and those from usage and monthly
subscription charges are recognized when earned.

                                     F-32

 (Expressed in millions of Rupiah and thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share
                               and tariff data)


   Prepaid revenues, which consist of sale of starter packs and pulse reload
vouchers, are recognized as follows:

   .   Starter pack sales are recognized upon delivery of starter packs to
       distributors, dealers or directly to customers.

   .   Pulse reload voucher sales to dealers or customers are initially
       recorded as unearned income and then proportionately recognized as usage
       revenue based on successful calls made by the subscribers or whenever
       the unused stored value of the voucher has expired.

   Revenues from interconnections with operators (usage revenue) are recognized
monthly on the basis of the actual recorded traffic for the month.

  MIDI

   Satellite revenues are recognized on the straight line method over the lease
periods. Revenue from sale of software and services is recognized when the
software is installed or the services are delivered to the customers. Revenue
for consulting services is recognized based on the percentage-of-completion
method.

   Revenues from other MIDI services are recognized when the services are
rendered.

  Other Services

   Revenues from other services are recognized when the services are rendered.

  Expenses

   Expenses are recognized when incurred (accrual basis).

  n.  Personnel Costs

   Personnel costs which are directly related to the development, construction
and installation of property and equipment are capitalized as part of the cost
of such assets. Personnel costs directly related to the maintenance of property
and equipment are reflected in maintenance expense.

  o.  Pension Plan

   Pension costs are accounted for on a basis consistent with SAK 24,
"Accounting for Pension Benefit Cost". Under the defined benefit pension plan,
the pension costs are determined by periodic actuarial calculation using the
projected-unit-credit method and applying the assumptions on discount rate,
expected return on plan assets and annual rate of increase in compensation. The
unrecognized net obligation at the date of initial application of SAK 24 is
amortized over the estimated average remaining service periods of the
employees. On the other hand, under the defined contribution pension plan, the
contributions are made by the employees at amounts ranging from 10%-20% of the
employees' basic monthly salaries.

                               and tariff data)


  p.  Derivative Instruments

   Effective January 1, 2001, derivative instruments are accounted for in
accordance with SAK 55 (as revised), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". SAK 55 establishes the accounting and reporting standards
which require that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance
sheets as either an asset or a liability as measured at fair value of each
contract. SAK 55 requires that changes in a derivative fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedges allow derivative gains and losses
to offset related results on the hedged item in the statements of income, and
that an entity must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness
of transactions that meet hedge accounting. All of the Companies' derivative
instruments are not designated as effective hedging instruments for accounting
purposes.

  q.  Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

   Transactions involving foreign currencies are recorded at the rates of
exchange prevailing at the time the transactions are made. At balance sheet
date, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are adjusted to
reflect the average buying and selling rates prevailing at such date as
published by Bank Indonesia and the resulting gains or losses are credited or
charged to current operations, except for foreign exchange differentials that
can be attributed to qualifying assets which are capitalized to assets under
construction and installation.

   For December 31, 2001 and 2002, the rates of exchange used were Rp 10,400 to
U.S.$ 1 and Rp 8,940 to U.S.$ 1, respectively, computed by taking the average
of the last buying and selling rates of bank notes published by Bank Indonesia
during the year.

  r.  Income Tax

   The Companies use the liability method of accounting for Income Tax, in
accordance with SAK 46, "Accounting for Income Tax". The liability method
reflects in the consolidated balance sheets the tax effects of temporary
differences between financial reporting and Income Tax purposes, including tax
loss carry-overs. Those differences result in taxable or deductible amounts in
determining taxable profit of future periods as the carrying amount of the
asset or liability is recovered or settled. The tax effects for the year are
allocated to current operations, except for the tax effects from transactions
which are charged or credited to stockholders' equity (e.g. gain on sale of
investment in PT Telekomunikasi Selular, which is credited to stockholders'
equity under "Difference in Value from Restructuring Transactions of Entities
under Common Control" account).

   For each of the consolidated entities, the tax effects of temporary
differences and tax loss carry-over, which individually are either assets or
liabilities, are shown at the applicable net amounts.

  s.  Segment Reporting

   In 2000, the Indonesian Institute of Accountants revised SAK 5, "Segment
Reporting", which requires publicly-listed companies to apply segment reporting
in their financial statements after January 1, 2002. The financial information
which is used by management for evaluating the segment performance is presented
in Note 35.

 (Expressed in millions of Rupiah and thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share
                               and tariff data)


  t.   Debt Restructuring

   The effect of debt restructuring is accounted for in accordance with SAK 54,
"Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructurings", which requires the interest
expense on the restructured loans to be calculated using the effective interest
rates.

  u.  Basic Earnings per Share and Basic Earnings per ADS

   In accordance with SAK 56, "Earnings Per Share", basic earnings per share is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the year. The net income is Rp 1,642,125, Rp 1,452,795 and
Rp 336,252 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
The weighted average number of shares is 1,035,500,000 shares in 2000, 2001 and
2002.

   Basic earnings per ADS is computed by multiplying basic earnings per share
by 10, which is equal to the number of shares per ADS.

  v.  Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.  TRANSLATIONS OF RUPIAH INTO UNITED STATES DOLLAR

   The consolidated financial statements are stated in rupiah. The translations
of the rupiah into United States dollar (U.S.$) are included solely for the
convenience of the readers, using the average buying and selling rate published
by Bank Indonesia (Central Bank) on December 31, 2002 of Rp 8,940 to U.S.$ 1.
The convenience translations should not be construed as representations that
the rupiah amounts have been, could have been, or could in the future be,
converted into U.S. dollar at this or any other rate of exchange.

4.  CROSS-OWNERSHIP TRANSACTIONS WITH TELKOM AND ACQUISITION OF BIMAGRAHA

   As part of its plans to diversify its business to include mobile/cellular,
fixed line, backbone, and internet/multimedia, the Company entered into the
following transactions with Telkom on April 3, 2001 to consolidate their
cross-ownership in certain companies and to acquire new business:

   .   the sale of the Company's 35% equity interest in PT Telekomunikasi
       Selular ("Telkomsel") for the rupiah equivalent of U.S.$ 945,000;

   .   the acquisition of Telkom's 22.5% equity interest in Satelindo for the
       rupiah equivalent of U.S.$ 186,000, of which 7.26% equity interest was
       subject to the pre-emptive rights of another existing stockholder
       (DeTeAsia);

                               and tariff data)


       Subsequently, DeTeAsia did not exercise its pre-emptive rights but
       communicated the waiver thereof to Telkom on July 10, 2001.

   .   the acquisition of Telkom's 37.21% equity interest in Lintasarta, which
       would increase the Company's total equity interest in Lintasarta to
       69.46%, for the rupiah equivalent of U.S.$ 38,000 plus Rp 4,051 of
       convertible bonds; and

   .   the acquisition of Telkom's business and assets in Regional Division IV
       ("KSO Unit IV"), a regional division of Telkom currently operated under
       a joint operating scheme between Telkom and PT Mitra Global
       Telekomunikasi Indonesia (see Note 8), for the rupiah equivalent of
       U.S.$ 375,000.

   The transactions with Telkom, involving the sale of the Company's 35% equity
interest in Telkomsel, acquisition of Telkom's 37.21% equity interest in
Lintasarta, and acquisition of Telkom's 22.5% equity interest in Satelindo,
were consummated on May 16, 2001. These transactions were accounted for under
the pooling-of-interests method. The difference amounting to Rp 4,359,259
between the net consideration paid or received and the net assets of the
investees is shown under the Stockholders' Equity section of the 2001
consolidated balance sheet as "Difference in Value from Restructuring
Transactions of Entities under Common Control". The sale of the Company's 35%
equity interest in Telkomsel also decreased the related Difference in
Transactions of Equity Changes in Associated Companies/Subsidiaries, net of
applicable Income Tax, amounting to Rp 297,031 (see Note 8).

   The KSO Unit IV acquisition was not consummated by the closing date on
January 31, 2002. On February 1, 2002, the Company and Telkom made a press
release to announce the cancellation of the proposed acquisition of KSO Unit IV
because certain conditions were not met.

   Below is the summary of revenue, operating income and net income (loss) for
the companies acquired under the cross-ownership transactions that are included
in the Company's results of operations prior to the acquisition in April 2001:

   The intercompany transactions of the Company with each of Satelindo and
Lintasarta prior to the acquisition are as follows:

   On May 31, 2001, the Company also consummated the acquisition of 100% equity
interest in Bimagraha from its shareholders for U.S.$ 248,273 and Rp 1,421,686.
This transaction was accounted for using the purchase method. The goodwill
arising from this transaction amounted to Rp 2,728,393. The excess of fair
values over the carrying values of the underlying net assets of Bimagraha
amounted to Rp 1,720,335. Bimagraha has 45% equity interest in Satelindo.

   The cross-ownership transactions and the acquisition of Bimagraha were
approved by the Company's stockholders at the Stockholders' Extraordinary
Meeting held on May 10, 2001.

   Based on the independent assessment from independent valuer in their report
dated April 3, 2001, they have the opinion that the acquisition and selling
prices of the above-mentioned cross-ownership transactions with Telkom and
acquisition of Bimagraha are fair and reasonable. The independent assessments
were prepared in accordance with BAPEPAM Regulation No. IX.E.1, "Transactions
with Conflict of Interests", dated August 22, 2000.

   After the direct acquisition from Telkom (22.5%) and the indirect
acquisition through Bimagraha (45%), the Company's total equity interest in
Satelindo increased from 7.5% to 75%.

   Expenditures incurred in connection with the foregoing transactions amounted
to Rp 321,445, of which the amount of Rp 259,811 relating to the
pooling-of-interests was charged to operations and shown as "Consultancy Fees"
in the 2001 consolidated statement of income and the amount of Rp 61,634
relating to the purchase was included as part of the cost of the investment
acquired. The unpaid portion of the expenditures amounting to Rp 768 as of
December 31, 2001 is shown as part of "Accrued Expenses".

circuits, and other charges (see Note 26).

   The aging schedule of the accounts receivable is as follows:

accounts receivable from Telkom are as follows:

   Management believes the established allowance is sufficient to cover
possible losses from uncollectible accounts receivable.

   In 2002, the Company adjusted its accounts receivable from Telkom amounting
to Rp 134,290 which include Rp 118,018 pertaining to prior years. The
adjustment was due to, among others, unrecorded telephone kiosks commission and
write-off of accounts receivable billed by Telkom which could not be collected
anymore.

   The effect of foreign exchange adjustment was due to the
strengthening/weakening of the rupiah vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar in relation to
U.S. dollar accounts previously provided with allowance and was credited or
charged to "Gain (Loss) on Foreign Exchange--Net".

   There are no significant concentrations of credit risk, except for the trade
accounts receivable from Telkom (see Note 6).

   Management believes the established allowance is sufficient to cover
possible losses from uncollectible accounts receivable.

   The economic condition faced by Indonesia (see Note 36) has substantially
affected the Companies' long-term investments in associated companies. Due to
the decline in the value of their investments, the Companies have provided
allowance for decline in value of their investments in associated companies
amounting to Rp 93,316 and Rp 90,781 as of December 31, 2001 and 2002,
respectively, which the Companies believe is adequate to cover possible losses
on those investments.

  PT Mitra Global Telekomunikasi Indonesia ("MGTI")

   MGTI, established in 1995, has taken over from Telkom the operation of the
Central Java Division of Telkom starting January 1, 1996 up to December 31,
2010 under a Joint Operation Scheme (KSO Unit IV) (see Note 4).

   The Company's investment in shares of MGTI is pledged as collateral to bank
loans obtained by MGTI to finance, among others, the construction of the
telephone lines committed by MGTI to Telkom. The loans will mature on December
31, 2005.

  PT Multi Media Asia Indonesia ("M2A")

   M2A, established in 1997, is engaged in providing satellite-based
telecommunications services. Based on a subscription agreement in 1997 among
the Company, PT Pacific Satelit Nusantara ("PSN") and M2A ("the Parties"), the
parties agreed that the Company would participate as a stockholder of M2A,
which was previously wholly owned by PSN, by acquiring 485,000,000 new shares
of M2A with an aggregate nominal value of U.S.$ 20,000, representing 26.67%
equity interest in M2A. The Parties also agreed that the Company's investment
in M2A would not be less than 20% of the fully paid capital if M2A issued its
new shares to Telkom and allocated not more than 5% of the fully paid capital
to the Government of the Republic of Indonesia.

  PT Electronic Datainterchange Indonesia ("EDI")

   EDI, an associated company of Sisindosat, was established in 1995 to provide
electronic data interchange services for the Jakarta (Tanjung Priok) Port
Authority and other telecommunications usage services. In 1998, Sisindosat
subscribed to additional shares for Rp 8,036 in connection with the call for an
increase in the subscribed capital stock of EDI as agreed in EDI's
stockholders' meeting held in 1998.

   In 2000, EDI, together with another party, established a securities company
known as PT Adhikarsa Sentra Sekuritas ("AKSES"). EDI has 80% equity interest
in AKSES.

   Sisindosat received cash dividends from EDI amounting to Rp 2,575 and Rp
2,572 in 2001 and 2002, respectively.

  PT Graha Lintas Properti ("GLP")

   GLP, an associated company of Sisindosat, was established in 1995 to handle
the construction of an office building known as "Gedung Sapta Pesona B".

   Based on a resolution at the Extraordinary Meeting of the Stockholders of
GLP in 1999, the stockholders resolved to reduce the issued share capital of
GLP from Rp 48,000 to Rp 44,400 by reducing one of its stockholders' shares.
The reduction in the issued shares increased Sisindosat's investment in GLP
from 35% to 37.84%.

   The current economic condition faced by Indonesia (see Note 36) has

Consequently, the Companies provided an allowance for decline in value of their
investments in shares of stock accounted for under the cost method and in

  PT Pramindo Ikat Nusantara ("PIN")

   In 1997, the Company acquired 13% equity interest in PIN from shares owned
by PT Astratel Nusantara, PT Intertel Pratamamedia and Koperasi Pegawai Kantor
Pusat Departemen Pariwisata, Pos dan Telekomunikasi. Under a Joint Operation
Scheme ("KSO"), PIN has taken over from Telkom the operations of Telkom's
Regional Division I (Sumatra) starting January 1, 1996 to December 31, 2010.

   In 1998, the Company increased its capital contribution in PIN by U.S.$
1,625 due to a call for payment from PIN. In 1999, PIN increased its issued
capital stock from U.S.$ 110,500 to U.S.$ 118,000 by issuing 750,000 new shares
with aggregate amount of U.S.$ 7,500. The Company's portion of this increase
that amounts to U.S.$ 975 was paid on March 30, 1999.

   On April 19, 2002, Telkom and the PIN stockholders, including the Company,
entered into a Conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement ("CSPA"), whereby the
stockholders agreed to sell and transfer all their shares in PIN to Telkom at a
total selling price of approximately U.S.$ 381,499, in three share-purchase
transactions, as follows:

   .   30% of the shares at the Initial Closing Date, which shall occur on
       August 1, 2002
   .   15% of the shares at the Interim Closing Date, which shall occur not
       later than September 30, 2003
   .   55% of the shares at the Subsequent Closing Date, which shall occur not
       later than December 31, 2004

   Telkom paid approximately U.S.$ 9,264 in cash as initial payment after the
release of the PIN pledged shares by, and upon repayment by PIN of all amounts
(principal, interest and others) payable to, International Finance Corporation,
one of PIN's stockholders, which occurred on September 17, 2002. At the initial
payment date, the stockholders of PIN also received net working capital
reimbursement from PIN. The balance of the selling price of approximately U.S.$
372,235, plus the corresponding interest for the applicable period, will be
settled by Telkom through the issuance of promissory notes payable in ten
quarterly installments of specific amounts.

   Based on an amendment dated August 1, 2002 to the CSPA, the Initial Closing
Date was changed to August 15, 2002. In addition, the sum of Rp 3,250 was
withheld by Telkom from the initial installment of the working capital
reimbursement as a security for the costs of obtaining land title certificates
for the account of PIN.

   As of December 31, 2002, the Company has received from Telkom U.S.$ 5,414
for the initial payment and Rp 32,199 for the working capital reimbursement.

companies engaged in direct satellite broadcasting, post-production services

50,000 under the condition that DA or another appointed party would repurchase
the Company's 5% equity interest in DA at the price of Rp 50,000 plus interest
if the Company could not exercise its option to subscribe to additional DA
shares because DA failed to undertake its initial public offering ("IPO") of
its shares by December 31, 1999. The interest rate is based on the average
interest rate of three banks each, owned by the Government and the private
sector, computed from the date the Company paid for its 5% equity interest. As
of December 31, 2002, the Company has not yet finalized its negotiations with
DA on the repurchase as a result of the inability of DA to undertake its IPO.

   Depreciation charged to operations amounted to Rp 189,852, Rp 1,011,619
(including a proportionate share in the depreciation expense of Satelindo from
January to May 2001 amounting to Rp 97,873) and Rp 1,723,933 in 2000, 2001 and
2002, respectively.

   In 1999, Satelindo assessed its property and equipment in connection with
indications of assets impairment. Based on the assessment, Satelindo provided
an impairment reserve amounting to Rp 131,209 for certain property and
equipment whose carrying value exceeded their recoverable amount. Management
believes that there is no further impairment in assets value or recovery of the
impairment reserve as contemplated in SAK 48, "Impairment of Assets Value",
except as already recognized by Satelindo.

   The Companies carry insurance on their respective property and equipment
(except submarine cables and landrights) for U.S.$ 1,651,536 and Rp 2,748,563,
including insurance on Satelindo's satellite amounting to U.S.$ 150,000 which
is pledged as collateral for its long-term debts (see Notes 15 and 16). In
management's opinion, the sum insured is sufficient to cover possible losses
arising from fire, explosion, lightning and aircraft damage and other natural
disasters.

   Portions of property and equipment are pledged as collateral to long-term
debts and letter of credit facilities obtained by Satelindo and Lintasarta (see
Note 15) and to short-term loans obtained by Sisindosat.

   The significant temporary differences on which deferred tax assets have been
computed are not deductible for Income Tax purposes until the decrease in the
carrying value of investments in associated companies, the allowance for
decline in value of investments in associated companies and other long-term
investments and the capitalized interest expense on loans used to finance the
share acquisition are realized upon sale of the investments, the doubtful
accounts are written-off, the prepaid pension cost is expensed and the tax loss
carry-overs are utilized. The deferred tax liabilities relate to the
differences in the book and tax bases of goodwill and property and equipment
due to the use of different amortization/depreciation periods and methods for
Income Tax and financial reporting purposes and the tax effect on the
difference in transactions of equity changes in associated
companies/subsidiaries.

   A valuation allowance has been established for certain deferred tax assets.
This valuation allowance reduces tax assets to an amount which is probable to
be realized. The reduction in valuation allowance mainly relates to the
reversal of the valuation allowance provided on tax loss carry-overs of
Subsidiaries. Management believes that the existing tax loss carry-overs can be
realized in the future.

   Under the current tax laws of Indonesia, the Company and Subsidiaries submit
their tax returns on the basis of self-assessment. The tax authorities may
assess or amend taxes within ten years after the fiscal year when the tax
became payable. Any loss on Income Tax basis can be carried forward and used to
offset against future taxable income for a maximum period of 5 years.

   Based on Decision No. KEP-02/WPJ.07/KP.0105/2002 dated March 26, 2002 of the
Director General of Taxation, the Company obtained approval to pay the Income
Tax payable Article 29 for fiscal year 2001 amounting to Rp 1,893,981 in nine
installments up to December 25, 2002 with interest at 2% per month. As of
December 31, 2002, the Company has fully paid the installments.

* including penalties and interest

   On January 31, 2001, the Company received tax assessment letter ("SKP") from
the Tax Office regarding the Company's Corporate Income Tax for fiscal year
1999. Based on this letter, out of the Company's claim for overpayment of
Corporate Income Tax in 1999 amounting to Rp 1,082, the Tax Office approved the
amount of Rp 273 only. The disapproved portion amounting to Rp 809 was charged
to the 2001 operations.

   In 2001, the Company recorded an additional Corporate Income Tax for fiscal
year 2000 amounting to Rp 115 as a charge to the 2001 operations [recorded as
part of "Other Income (Expenses)--Others--Net"]. This additional amount was
derived from the difference between the Company's recorded Income Tax for
fiscal year 2000 amounting to Rp 206,280 and the payment made in 2001 amounting
to Rp 206,395.

   No Income Tax was provided for Sisindosat and Asiatel in 2001 and for
Asiatel in 2002 since, after considering the tax loss carry-overs from previous
years, they were still in a tax loss position, and for IM3 in 2001 and 2002
since it just started its commercial operations in August 2001 and was still in
a tax loss position. Indosatcom and SMM were also in a tax loss position in
2001 and 2002.

  a.  GECA Credit

   In 1997, Satelindo entered into a loan agreement with a consortium of banks
led by Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main ("Commerzbank AG"), as
well as with 3 other banks as lenders, which provided a loan amounting to U.S.$
114,988 to finance Satelindo's importation of GSM equipment from Siemens AG,
Germany.

   The loan was made available on the basis of an export credit cover provided
by the Federal Republic of Germany, represented by HERMES Kreditversicherungs
AG ("Hermes"), Hamburg.

   On October 29, 1999, Siemens AG repaid the amount of U.S.$ 3,028 to
Commerzbank AG due to Satelindo's return of certain GSM equipment to Siemens
AG. Subsequently, on December 22, 1999, Satelindo,

Siemens AG, Commerzbank AG and Hermes agreed to divide the outstanding balance
of the loan into two tranches in addendum No. 1 to the loan agreement:

   .   Loan Tranche 1 represents a portion of the loan amounting to U.S.$
       99,652 for which deliveries and services have already been made and
       rendered. Interest is payable at 2.5% over the six-month LIBOR, subject
       to adjustment on a semi-annual basis.

   .   Loan Tranche 2 represents a portion of the loan amounting to U.S.$
       12,308 for deliveries and services in connection with a Y2K compliance
       package and a Hot Billing System. Interest is payable at 0.5% over the
       six-month LIBOR, subject to adjustment on a semi-annual basis.

   The GECA credit agreement, through Amendment Agreement No. 2, superseded the
above Tranche 1 of the export credit facility as a result of the debts
restructuring on May 30, 2000 (see Note 30a).

   The loan will mature on October 31, 2006.

   The credit facility under the GECA credit agreement is collateralized by
satellite lease revenues and in-orbit insurance proceeds from Satelindo's
satellite.

  b.  Debt Facility with Alcatel CIT and PT Alcatel Enkomindo

CIT and PTAlcatel Enkomindo ("Enkomindo") on March 14, 2000 for a total credit

   The Guaranteed Floating Rate Bonds represent bonds originally totaling U.S.$
214,890 issued on May 30, 2000 to third parties by Satelindo through SIB, with
The Bank of New York as trustee. In accordance with the provisions of an MRA
(see Note 30a) and further agreements mentioned in the MRA, the bonds replaced
the promissory notes issued by Satelindo, through SIB, in 1998 that became
overdue in 1999 and defaulted. As defined in the bonds indenture, the bonds
were issued in three series, which are known and designated as the Guaranteed
Floating Rate Bonds due 2004 ("2004 Bonds"), the Guaranteed Floating Rate Bonds
due 2005 ("2005 Bonds") and the Guaranteed Floating Rate Bonds due 2006 ("2006
Bonds").

   The terms of the indenture governing the bonds contain covenants limiting,
among other things, the issuance of additional indebtedness by Satelindo, sale
and purchase of assets, liens and pari-passu indebtedness, maintenance of
certain financial ratios, insurance requirements and capital expenditures.

   The bonds are collateralized by satellite lease revenues and in-orbit
insurance proceeds from Satelindo's satellite.

   Interest on the bonds is payable on a semi-annual basis commencing January
1, 2000, at LIBOR plus the applicable margin during each period (see Note 30a).

   Satelindo has unconditionally guaranteed the payment of the obligations to
SIB in respect of the bonds. The guarantee is on a pari passu basis with other
existing and future senior indebtedness of Satelindo.

contribution pension plans covering substantially all of their qualified

to their respective employees under which pension benefits to be paid upon
retirement are based on an employee's most recent basic salary and

number of years of service. PT Asuransi Jiwasraya ("Jiwasraya"), a state-owned
life insurance company, manages the plans. Pension contributions are determined
by periodic actuarial calculations performed by Jiwasraya. The employees
contribute 3%-3.5% of their basic salaries to the plans and the above companies
contribute any remaining amount required to fund their respective plans. The
companies recognize the cost of pension benefit over the estimated average
remaining service periods of the employees based on actuarial computations, in
accordance with SAK 24, "Accounting for Pension Benefit Cost".

   Based on an amendment dated December 22, 2000 of the Company's pension plan,
which was further amended on March 29, 2001, the benefit and premium payment
pattern was changed. Before the amendments, the premium was paid annually and
the benefit consisted of retirement benefit (pension), retirement benefit
(lump-sum scheme), and death insurance. In conjunction with the amendments,
total premium due as of September 1, 2000 to fully fund the pension plan was
calculated and paid in several installments up to January 2002. The amendments
also include an additional benefit in the form of thirteenth month retirement
benefit (pension), which is payable annually 14 days before Idul Fitri ("Moslem
Holiday").

   The amendments cover employees registered as participants of the pension
plan as of September 1, 2000 and include an increase in pension basic salary by
9% compounded annually starting from September 1, 2001. The amendments also
stipulate that there will be no increase in the premium even in cases of mass
employee terminations or changes in marital status.

   The single premium based on the amendments amounted to Rp 355,000, of which
the Company made the first payment amounting to Rp 222,000 in 2000 and the
balance, in several installments in 2001.

   In 2002, the Company made additional payments to Jiwasraya amounting to Rp
20,433 for additional pension benefit which will be received by the board of
directors when they retire.

   The total contributions of the Company, Satelindo and Lintasarta to
Jiwasraya amounted to Rp 237,962, Rp137,642 and Rp 28,562 for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

plan, the employees contribute 10%-20% of their basic salaries while the
Company does not contribute to the plan. Total contributions of the employees
in 2001 and 2002 amounted to Rp 5,980 and Rp 9,809, respectively. The plan
assets are being administered and managed by several financial institutions
appointed by the Company.

   The Companies also provided a reserve amounting to Rp 2,831 and Rp 23,342 in
2001 and 2002, respectively, for termination, gratuity and compensation
benefits of employees. These amounts were estimated on the basis of the
provisions of the Ministry of Manpower Decree No. KEP-150/Men/2000 ("KEP-150")
dated June 20, 2000 regarding the settlement of work dismissal and
determination of separation, appreciation and compensation benefits by
companies. The reserves provided in 2001 and 2002 were determined on the basis
of actuarial computations. Such benefits reserved are included as part of
Personnel Expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

   The Company, Satelindo and Lintasarta have different arrangements for their
employees regarding the entitlements under KEP-150 and the pension plan, but
the employees will receive the KEP-150 amount at the minimum.

                               December 31, 2002
                  With Comparative Figures for 2000 and 2001
 (Expressed in millions of Rupiah and thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share
                               and tariff data)


   The following are the significant agreements/transactions with related
parties:

  a.  State-owned banks

   The Companies place a substantial amount of their cash and cash equivalents
in various state-owned banks. Interest rates on these placements are comparable
to those offered by third-party banks.

   The Company and Sisindosat also obtained loans from Mandiri and BNI (see
Note 15).

  b.  Telkom

   (1) a. International telecommunications services

       The Company and Satelindo have an agreement with Telkom, a majority
       state-owned local telecommunications services company, for the provision
       of international telecommunications services to the public. The
       principal matters covered by the agreement are as follows:

      .   Telkom provides the local network for customers to make or receive
          international calls. The Company and Satelindo provide the
          international network for the customers. The international
          telecommunications services include international calls, telex,
          telegram, packet net, TV link, frame net, etc.
      .   The Company, Satelindo and Telkom are responsible for their
          respective telecommunications facilities.
      .   Telkom handles customer billing and collection, except for leased
          circuits and public phones located at the international gateways. The
          Company and Satelindo have to pay Telkom 1% of the collections made
          by Telkom, plus the billing process expenses which are fixed at Rp 41
          per record of outgoing call up to December 31, 2001 and Rp 82 per
          record of outgoing call starting January 1, 2002, as compensation for
          billing processing (see Note 21).
      .   The compensation arrangement for the services provided is based on
          interconnection tariffs (see Note32) determined by the Ministry of
          Communications.

       Receivables from Telkom are settled according to payments received by
       Telkom from the respective customers. These receivables are non-interest
       bearing.

       Under a cooperation agreement with Telkom, the compensation of Telkom
       relating to leased circuit/channel services, such as world link and bit
       link, is calculated at 15% of the Company's collected revenues from such
       services.

       The Company and Satelindo also lease circuits from Telkom to link
       Jakarta, Medan and Surabaya.

       b. Cellular Services

       Satelindo and IM3 also have an agreement with Telkom for the
       interconnection of Satelindo's and IM3's GSM mobile cellular
       telecommunications network with Telkom's Public Switched Telephone

                                     F-96



                        PERUSAHAAN PERSEROAN (PERSERO)
           PT INDONESIAN SATELLITE CORPORATION Tbk AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
                               December 31, 2002
                  With Comparative Figures for 2000 and 2001
 (Expressed in millions of Rupiah and thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share
                               and tariff data)

       Network ("PSTN"), enabling Satelindo's and IM3's customers to make
       outgoing calls to or receive incoming calls from Telkom's customers. The
       interconnection tariffs are determined by the Ministry of Communications
       (see Note 32).

   (2) In 1994, Satelindo entered into a Land Transfer Agreement with Telkom
       for the transfer of Telkom's rights to use 134,925 square meters of land
       located at Daan Mogot, West Jakarta, where Satelindo's earth control
       station is currently situated. The Land Transfer Agreement enables
       Satelindo to use the land for a period of 30 years from the date of the
       agreement, for a price equivalent to U.S.$ 40,000 less Rp 43,220, and
       could be extended based on mutual agreement. This agreement was
       subsequently superseded by Land Rental Agreement dated December 6, 2001,
       under the same terms as those of the Land Transfer Agreement, except for
       a provision fixing the exchange rate in the conversion of the
       outstanding balance of the price. In 2001, Satelindo fully paid the
       balance due.

   (3) In 1994, Lintasarta also entered into several joint venture cooperation
       agreements with Telkom, wherein Lintasarta agreed to act as provider of
       data telecommunications services. Lintasarta has to pay the Ministry of

  h.  GLP

   In 1997, GLP (an associated company) issued a promissory note amounting to
U.S.$ 10,000 payable to PT Asuransi Jasa Indonesia, which note was subsequently
arranged to be made payable to PT Rekasaran Utama on the maturity date of the
note in 1997. The note is secured by a corporate guarantee issued by Sisindosat.

   As a result of the economic condition in Indonesia (see Note 36), GLP could
no longer pay the note. As guarantor, Sisindosat has become liable for the
payment of the note. At the Extraordinary Meeting of the Stockholders of GLP in
1998, the stockholders approved that Sisindosat be entitled to take custody of
the office building when GLP defaults in the payment of the note. Based on a
negotiable promissory note agreement in 1999, the note was settled from the
proceeds of a loan acquired by Sisindosat from the Company and Sisindosat's
guarantee was released.

   The loan bears annual interest at the average interest rate for three-month
period of U.S. dollar time deposits from three state-owned banks.

   Sisindosat has provided an allowance for possible loss from the
non-collection of this loan receivable and related interest in 2001 and 2002,
after considering GLP's financial position.

          of equipment and/or services for a minimum value of U.S.$ 49,000
          under its Roll-out 2002 program, provided however that if this
          minimum value is not reached, Satelindo shall not be entitled to the
          discounts stipulated in the above agreement.

          Up to December 31, 2002, the POs issued by Satelindo amount to U.S.$
          33,286 and Rp 11,140.

      .   On March 29, 1996, Satelindo and Siemens AG entered into a GSM Public
          Land Mobile Network ("PLMN") Agreement that was subsequently amended

    c. In 1994 and 1998, the Company was appointed as a Financial Administrator
       ("FA") and Central Billing Party ("CBP"), respectively, by a consortium
       which was established to build and sell/lease Asia Pacific Cable Network
       ("APCN") submarine cable in countries in the Asia-Pacific Region. As an
       FA, the Company collects and distributes funds from the sale of APCN's
       IRU and Defined Underwritten Capacity ("DUC") and Occasional Commercial
       Use ("OCU") service, while as a CBP, the Company manages funds from the
       members of the consortium for upgrading the APCN cable. The funds from
       the sale of IRU and DUC, OCU services and funds received for upgrading
       the APCN cable do not belong to the Company and, therefore, are not
       recorded in the Company's books. However, the Company is managing these
       funds in separate accounts. As of December 31, 2002, the total funds
       related to these transactions (including interest earned) amounted to
       U.S.$ 38,283. Besides the funds from the sale of IRU, the members of the
       consortium also receive the interest earned by the above funds.

    d. On January 26, 2000, Satelindo entered into a revolving credit facility
       agreement ("Alcatel revolving facility") with Electro Banque, Paris, for
       a credit facility amounting to U.S.$ 25,000. The credit facility may be
       utilized to finance the part of equipment and services which will be
       supplied by Alcatel CIT and Enkomindo. As of December 31, 2002,
       Satelindo has not utilized this credit facility.

    e. On August 19, 2002 and September 18, 2002, IM3 entered into agreements
       with Mandiri for the opening of LCs amounting to U.S.$ 27,983 and U.S.$
       3,773, respectively, to be made available upon dates agreed upon,
       subject to the terms and conditions that are met in such agreements and
       shall be terminated on February 15, 2003. These facilities bear interest
       at LIBOR + 2% per annum.

       The LCs (usance) are intended for the purpose of GSM 1800 equipment
       installation and availment of services from Ericsson.

       As of December 31, 2002, the unused LC facilities amount to U.S.$ 24,653.

    f. Based on letters No. S-5341/LK/2002 and No. S-5327/LK/2002, both dated
       December 4, 2002, from the Ministry of Finance ("MOF") of the Republic
       of Indonesia, the Company was fined 2% interest per month as penalty
       (maximum of interest for 24 months) for the late payment of the
       Government's dividends. The Company paid the dividends in accordance
       with the payment schedule approved in its Stockholders' Annual General
       Meeting.

       The penalties amounted to Rp 20,633 and Rp 38,096 for the dividends from
       the Company's net income in 1999 and 2000, respectively. Based on a
       letter dated January 6, 2003, the Company requested the MOF to
       reconsider its decision.

       The Company did not accrue any penalties on the dividends because, in
       the opinion of the Company's legal counsels, the MOF had no basis to
       impose the penalties.

30.  DEBTS RESTRUCTURING

       itself and its lenders. The carrying amount of the long-term debts
       amounted to U.S.$ 448,042 as of May 30, 2000. The difference amounting
       to U.S.$ 14,402 between the carrying amount of the long term debts and
       the total future payments of principal has been deferred and will be
       offset against the future interest expense since the total payments of
       principal and interest over the remaining term of debts exceed the
       carrying amount of the long term debts.

       The terms and conditions of Satelindo's debts pursuant to the provisions
       of the MRA are summarized as follows (see Note 15):

31.  TARIFF SYSTEM

  a.  International telecommunications services

   The service rates ("tariffs") for overseas exchange carriers are set based
on the international telecommunications regulations established by the
International Telecommunications Union ("ITU"). These regulations require the
international telecommunications administrations to establish and revise, under
mutual agreement, accounting rates to be applied among them, taking into
account the cost of providing specific telecommunications services and relevant
recommendations from the Consultative Committee on International Telegraph and
Telephone ("CCITT"). The rates are divided into terminal shares payable to the
administrations of terminal countries and, where appropriate, into transit
shares payable to the administrations of transit countries.

   The ITU also regulates that the monetary unit to be used, in the absence of
special arrangements, shall be the Special Drawing Right ("SDR") or the Gold
franc that is equivalent to 1/3.061SDR. Each administration shall, subject to
applicable national law, establish the charges to be collected from its
customers.

   The tariffs billed to domestic subscribers for international calls
originating in Indonesia, also known as collection rates, are established in a
decision letter of the Ministry of Communications, which rate is generally
higher than the accounting rate. During the period 1996 to 1998, the Ministry
of Communications made tariff changes effective January 1, 1997, March 15, 1998
and November 15, 1998.

  b.  Cellular services

   Tariff for cellular providers are set on the basis of Regulation No. KM
27/PR.301/MPPT-98 dated February 23, 1998 of the Ministry of Tourism, Posts and
Telecommunications (subsequently renamed "Ministry of Communications"). Under
this regulation, the cellular tariff consists of the following:

   .   Connection fee

   .   Monthly charges

   .   Usage charges

                                     F-110



                        PERUSAHAAN PERSEROAN (PERSERO)
           PT INDONESIAN SATELLITE CORPORATION Tbk AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
                               December 31, 2002
                  With Comparative Figures for 2000 and 2001
 (Expressed in millions of Rupiah and thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share
                               and tariff data)


   The maximum tariff for connection fee is Rp 200,000 per new connection
number. The maximum tariff for monthly charge is Rp 65,000. Usage charges
consist of the following:

    1. Airtime

       The maximum airtime tariff charged for "origin" cellular is Rp
       325/minute. The details of the tariff system are as follows:


                              
      a.  Cellular to cellular   : 2 times airtime rate
      b.  Cellular to PSTN       : 1 time airtime rate
      c.  PSTN to cellular       : 1 time airtime rate
      d.  Card phone to cellular : 1 time airtime rate plus 41% surcharge


    2. Usage

       a. Usage tariff charged to a cellular subscriber who makes a call to
          another subscriber using PSTN network is similar to the usage tariff
          of PSTN, which is applied on a time differentiation basis. For the
          use of local PSTN network, the tariff is computed at 50% of the
          prevailing local PSTN tariff.

       b. Long-distance usage tariff between two different service areas
          without using PSTN network is similar to the prevailing tariff on
          domestic long-distance call ("SLJJ") for a PSTN subscriber.

       The maximum tariff for active roaming is Rp 1,000 per call and is
       charged to in-roaming cellular subscriber who makes a call.

       Tariffs for prepaid customers are also regulated by the Ministry of
       Communications in its Decree No. KM.79 Year 1998 dated December 14,
       1998, and are typically higher than tariffs for post-paid subscribers.
       Cellular operators are allowed to set their own tariffs. However, the
       maximum usage tariffs for prepaid customers may not exceed 140% of peak
       time tariffs for post-paid subscribers.

32.  INTERCONNECTION TARIFFS

   Interconnection tariffs among domestic telecommunications operators are
regulated by the Ministry of Communications through its decree No.
KM.108/PR.301/MPPT-94 dated December 28, 1994. The regulation has been updated
several times with the latest update being decree No. KM.37 Year 1999 dated
June 11, 1999. This decree, along with decree No. KM.46/PR.301/MPPT-98 dated
February 27, 1998, prescribes interconnection tariff structures between mobile
cellular telecommunications network and PSTN, mobile cellular
telecommunications network and international telecommunications network, mobile
cellular telecommunications network and other domestic mobile cellular
telecommunications network, international telecommunications network and PSTN
and other domestic PSTN.

 (Expressed in millions of Rupiah and thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share
                               and tariff data)


   Based on the decree of the Ministry of Communications, the interconnection
tariff arrangement is as follows:

  1. Structure of the Interconnection Tariff

    a. Between international and domestic PSTN

       Based on decision letter No.KM.37 Year 1999 dated June 11, 1999 of the
       Ministry of Communications, the new interconnection tariffs are as
       follows:



                                             Tariff                      Basis
                                     ---------------------- -------------------------------
                                                      
Access charge                        Rp 850 per call        Number of successful outgoing
                                                            and incoming calls

Usage charge                         Rp 550 per paid minute Duration of successful outgoing
                                                            and incoming calls

Universal Service Obligation ("USO") Rp 750 per call        Number of successful outgoing
                                                            and incoming calls


       For a ten-year period effective January 1, 1995, the Company is exempted
       from the obligation to pay USO to Telkom.

       Based on a letter from the Ministry of Communications, the access and
       usage charges to be paid by an international telecommunications carrier
       to a domestic carrier for the next ten years up to 2004 are not to
       exceed 25% of the international telecommunications carrier's
       international telecommunications revenue.

    b. Between cellular telecommunications network and domestic PSTN

       Based on the Ministry of Tourism, Posts and Telecommunications Decree
       No. KM.46/PR.301/ MPPT-98 ("Decree No. 46") dated February 27, 1998
       which became effective starting April 1, 1998, the interconnection
       tariffs are as follows:

      (1) Local Calls

          For local calls from a cellular telecommunications network to a PSTN
          subscriber, the cellular operator pays the PSTN operator 50% of the
          prevailing tariff for local calls. For local calls from the PSTN to a
          cellular subscriber, the cellular operator receives the airtime
          charged by the PSTN operator to its subscribers.

      (2) SLJJ

          For SLJJ which originates from the PSTN to a cellular subscriber, the
          cellular operator receives a portion of the prevailing SLJJ tariff,
          which portion ranges from 15% of the prevailing SLJJ tariff plus the
          airtime charges in cases where the entire long-distance portion is
          not carried by the cellular operator, to 60% of the tariff plus the
          airtime charges in cases where the entire long-distance portion is
          carried by the cellular operator.

                                     F-112

 (Expressed in millions of Rupiah and thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share
                               and tariff data)


          For SLJJ which originates from a cellular telecommunications network
          to a PSTN subscriber, the cellular operator is entitled to retain a
          portion of the prevailing SLJJ tariff, which portion ranges from 15%
          of the tariff in cases where the entire long-distance portion is not
          carried by the cellular operator, to 60% of the tariff in cases where
          the entire long-distance portion is carried by the cellular operator.

    c. Between cellular telecommunications network and another cellular
       telecommunications network

       Based on Decree No. 46, the interconnection tariffs are as follows:

      (1) Local Calls

          For local calls from a cellular telecommunications network to
          another, the "origin" cellular operator pays the airtime to the
          "destination" cellular operator. If the call is carried by the PSTN,
          the cellular operator pays the PSTN operator 50% of the prevailing
          tariff for local calls.

      (2) SLJJ

          For SLJJ which originates from a cellular telecommunications network,
          the cellular operator is entitled to retain a portion of the
          prevailing SLJJ tariff, which portion ranges from 15% of the tariff
          in cases where the entire long-distance portion is not carried by the
          cellular operator, to 85% of the tariff in cases where the entire
          long-distance portion is carried by the cellular operator and the
          call is delivered to another cellular operator, and to 100% if the
          call is delivered to the same cellular operator.

    d. Between international PSTN and cellular telecommunications network

       Starting from 1998, the interconnection tariff for international
       cellular call traffic to/from overseas from/to domestic cellular
       subscribers, regardless of whether the traffic is made through domestic
       PSTN or not, is based on the same tariff applied to traffic made through
       domestic PSTN as mentioned in "a" above. However, up to December 31,
       2002, as agreed mutually with the cellular telecommunications operators,
       Satelindo and the Company still applied the original contractual sharing
       agreements regarding the interconnection tariffs (see Note 33).

    e. Between international gateway exchanges

       Interconnection charges for international telecommunications traffic
       between international gateway exchanges are based on agreements between
       international telecommunications carriers and international
       telecommunications joint ventures.

  2. Revenue Sharing

   Revenue from access and usage charges from international telecommunications
traffic with telecommunications networks owned by more than one domestic
telecommunications carrier which is not regulated by this decree, is to be
proportionally shared with each carrier, which proportion is to be arranged by
the Director General of Post and Telecommunications.

33.  INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENTS WITH SEVERAL CELLULAR TELECOMMUNICATIONS
    OPERATORS

   The Company, Satelindo and IM3 have interconnection agreements with each of
PT Excelcomindo Pratama or "Excelcom" and PT Komunikasi Selular Indonesia or
"Komselindo" (for the interconnection agreement with Telkomsel, see Note 26).
The principal matters covered by the agreements are as follows:

   .   The Company's and Satelindo's international gateway exchanges are
       interconnected with mobile cellular telecommunication operators'
       networks to make outgoing or receive incoming international calls
       through the Company's and Satelindo's international gateway exchanges.

   .   The Company and Satelindo receive, as compensation for the
       interconnection, a portion of the cellular telecommunications operators'
       revenues from the related services that are made through the Company's
       and Satelindo's international gateway exchanges.

   .   Satelindo and IM3 also have an agreement with the above operators for
       the interconnection of Satelindo's and IM3's GSM mobile cellular
       telecommunications network with the above operators' network, enabling
       the above operators' customers to make calls/send short messages
       services ("SMS") to or receive calls/SMS from Satelindo's and IM3's
       customers.

   .   The agreements are renewable annually.

   As of December 31, 2002, there have been neither extensions nor terminations
upon the expiration of the agreements. The Company, Satelindo and IM3 and the
above operators still continue their business under the agreements by applying
the original compensation formula.

   Interconnection revenues (net of interconnection charges) earned by the
Company, Satelindo and IM3 from the operators are as follows:

35.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

   The Companies manage and evaluate their operations in three major reportable
segments: international calls, cellular and MIDI. The operating segments are
managed separately because each offers different services/products and serves
different markets. The Companies operate in one geographic area only so no
geographical information on segments was presented.

   The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those
described in "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" (see Note 2s). Except
for entities with one operating segment, interest income is not reported on an
operating segment basis because cash and cash equivalents are aggregated and
evaluated separately from business operations. Interest expense and Income Tax
are also not reported on an operating segment basis because they are not
considered in the performance evaluation by the Companies' management.

   Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.

as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Expenditures for
segment assets represent the total cost incurred during the period to acquire
segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one year.

36.  CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITION

   Indonesia continues to experience economic difficulties due to volatile
exchange rates and interest rates, general price increases of commodities and
services, lack of liquidity and tightening of available credit. These factors
have slowed down economic activities.

   In response to these economic events, the Companies have adopted more
stringent criteria in the evaluation of their investment activities,
intensified their collection efforts and implemented a cost-consciousness
program. In addition, Satelindo also restructured its loans from its creditors
in May 2000 and increased its investment, primarily in the cellular business,
after the limit on the allowable amount for annual capital expenditures has
been waived by the creditors (see Note 15). The Companies will continue to
adopt these measures and will initiate other measures to address the economic
difficulties.

   The resolution of the current economic difficulties depends on the fiscal,
monetary and other measures that have been and will be taken by the Government,
actions which are beyond the Companies' control. It is not possible to
determine the future effects a continuation of the current economic condition
may have on the Companies' liquidity and earnings, including the effect flowing
through from its customers, suppliers and stockholders.

39.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
     FOLLOWED BY THE COMPANIES AND U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
     PRINCIPLES ("GAAP")

   The consolidated financial statements of the Companies have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Indonesia
("Indonesian GAAP") which differ in certain respects from generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). A
description of these differences are set forth below and their effects on net
income and stockholders' equity are set forth in Note 40. The consolidated
financial statements also include additional disclosures (see Note 41) in order
to conform more closely to the form and content of financial statements
required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

  a.  Capitalization of Foreign Exchange Loss--Net of Gain

   Under Indonesian GAAP, foreign exchange losses--net of foreign exchange gain
on borrowings used to finance construction of an asset should be capitalized.
Capitalization of net foreign exchange loss ceases when the construction is
substantially completed and the constructed asset is ready for its intended use.

   Under U.S. GAAP, foreign exchange differential should be charged or credited
to current operations. Therefore, the depreciation relating to the capitalized
net foreign exchange loss under Indonesian GAAP should be reversed for U.S.
GAAP purposes.

  b.  Interest Capitalizable to Properties under Construction and Installation

   Under Indonesian GAAP, one of the criteria for capitalizing interest cost to
a qualifying asset (i.e. properties under construction and installation) is
that the interest should be attributable to the qualifying asset. The
capitalization of a parent company's interest expense into a subsidiary's asset
is not allowed under Indonesian GAAP. The Company did not capitalize the
interest incurred on its bonds payable in 2002 because the proceeds of the
bonds were used for the acquisition of Bimagraha shares and capital
contributions in IMM and IM3.

   Under U.S. GAAP, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
34, "Capitalization of Interest Cost" does not specify that the interest cost
be attributable to the qualifying assets; therefore, the capitalizable interest
includes interest costs incurred on general and specific borrowings. The
difference between the amount of interest capitalized under Indonesian GAAP and
U.S. GAAP will result in additional depreciation recognized under U.S. GAAP.

   Further, U.S. GAAP allows capitalization of a parent company's interest
expense to qualifying assets of a consolidated subsidiary provided that the
subsidiary used the funds to acquire qualifying assets for its operations. In
2001, the qualifying assets were IMM's internet assets and IM3's cellular
assets.

  c.  Pension Plan

   Under Indonesian GAAP, the Company follows SAK 24, an accounting method for
pensions that is substantially consistent with the requirements of U.S. GAAP.
Under U.S. GAAP, starting from January 1, 1991, the accounting for these
benefits is governed by SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions". In

                        PERUSAHAAN PERSEROAN (PERSERO)
           PT INDONESIAN SATELLITE CORPORATION Tbk AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
                               December 31, 2002
                  With Comparative Figures for 2000 and 2001
 (Expressed in millions of Rupiah and thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share
                               and tariff data)

computing net periodic pension cost, the Company uses the transition obligation
calculated as of January 1, 1995 and 1991 for Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP
purposes, respectively.

  d.  Postretirement Benefits

   Under Indonesian GAAP, there are no strict requirements for the recognition
of an employer's liability for healthcare plan granted to employees for the
period subsequent to retirement. The Company accounts for these benefits as an
expense at the time they are claimed.

   Under U.S. GAAP, the Company accounts for these benefits over the estimated
service period of its employees based on actuarial assumptions which are
similar to those provided by SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions".

  e.  Landrights

   In Indonesia, except for ownership rights ("Hak Milik") granted to
individuals, the title to land rests with the State under the Basic Agrarian
Law No. 5 of 1960. Land use is accomplished through landrights, whereby the
holder of the rights enjoys the full use of the land for a stated period of
time, subject to extensions. The Companies expect that the landrights will be
renewed at nominal costs in the foreseeable future. In most instances, the
landrights are freely tradable. However, they may be pledged as security under
borrowing agreements. The predominant practice is to capitalize the costs of
acquired landrights and to not amortize these costs.

   Under Indonesian GAAP, expenses associated with the acquisition of
government permit to use the land (i.e. notary fee, tax, etc.) should be
amortized over the period the holder is expected to retain the landrights
which, in the case of the Companies, is an initial period ranging from
approximately 20 to 30 years.

   Under U.S. GAAP, all costs to acquire the landrights should be amortized
over the period the holder is expected to retain the landrights. As a result of
the above difference, when landright is sold, the gain/loss from the disposal
of land will be different under Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

  f.  Revenue Recognition

   Under Indonesian GAAP, revenue from service connection is recognized as
income at the time the connection takes place (for post-paid service) or at the
time of delivery of starter packs to distributors, dealers or customers (for
prepaid service).

   Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB")
No. 101, "Revenue Recognition", revenue from service connection should be
deferred and recognized over the expected term of the customer relationship.

  g.  Goodwill

   Under Indonesian GAAP, goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method
over five years.

                                     F-121

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
                               December 31, 2002

 (Expressed in millions of Rupiah and thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share
                               and tariff data)


   Under U.S. GAAP, starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001, goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment test under SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Prior to 2002, the goodwill
arising from the acquisition of Bimagraha (see Note 4), had been amortized over
five years. Beginning 2002, the amortization was discontinued and an impairment
review of the goodwill was done in accordance with SFAS No. 142.

  h.  Intangible Assets

   Under Indonesian GAAP, intangible assets acquired in a business combination
are not recognized separately from goodwill (see "g" above).

   Under U.S. GAAP, intangible assets that meet the new criteria for
recognition apart from goodwill under SFAS No. 142 should be reported
separately from goodwill. The Company's intangible assets with definite lives
acquired from the acquisition of Satelindo in 2002 are amortized and subject to
impairment test under SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets".

  i.  Equity in Net Loss of Associated Companies

   This represents the effect of the difference between Indonesian GAAP and
U.S. GAAP in the investee's accounting for foreign exchange differential on
borrowings relating to property under construction (see "a" above).

  j.  Minority Interest

   This represents the net effect on the minority stockholders' proportionate
share in the equity of the subsidiaries, as a result of the differences between
Indonesian GAAP and U.S. GAAP which affects the subsidiaries' net income.

  k.  Preacquisition Income

   This represents the difference in the 2002 net income of Satelindo
determined under the two GAAPs at the time of the acquisition of equity
interest in Satelindo (see Note 1d).

   The amount expense of the above intangible assets for each of the years 2003
to 2006 is Rp 106,014 while for 2007 it is Rp 67,881.

   As of January 1, 2002, the Company performed the transitional impairment
test under SFAS No. 142. The Company assigned all of its goodwill to the
cellular reporting unit. The transitional impairment test was performed by
comparing the carrying value of the net assets (including all goodwill) of the
cellular reporting unit to its fair value, which was determined based on the
discounted cash flows method. The transitional impairment test revealed that no
impairment of the net assets of the cellular reporting unit had occurred as of
January 1, 2002, as the carrying value of the net assets did not exceed their
fair value.

   In 2002, for U.S. GAAP purposes, the goodwill amortization recorded under
Indonesian GAAP amounting to Rp 753,495 was reversed and the amortization of
these intangible assets amounting to Rp 53,596 was recognized.

   As of December 31, 2002, the Company completed the annual impairment test
required by SFAS No. 142 which was also performed by comparing the carrying
value of the net assets of the cellular reporting unit to their fair value
based on the discounted cash flows method. Based on the test, the Company
determined that no impairment has occurred as of December 31, 2002.

  e.  Adjustment of Accounts Receivable--Trade from Telkom

   Under Indonesian GAAP, the adjustment of the accounts receivable--trade from
Telkom amounting to Rp 118,018 pertaining to prior years (see Note 6) was
presented as part of "Other Expenses--Others".

   Under U.S. GAAP, this adjustment was presented as part of Operating Expenses.

  f.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments:

   .   Cash equivalents and short-term investments: the carrying amount
       approximates fair value because of the short period of time between the
       origination of the instruments and their expected realization.

   .   Short-term loans: the carrying amount approximates fair value because of
       the short period of time between the origination of the instruments and
       their expected payment date.

   .   Investments in associated companies and other long-term investments: it
       was not practicable to estimate fair values of investments in associated
       companies and other long-term investments as there are no quoted market
       prices for these or similar investments. Other long-term investments
       which have a carrying value of Rp 402,502 and Rp 273,669 as of December
       31, 2001 and 2002, respectively, are carried at acquisition cost less
       allowance for decline in value, and the investments in associated
       companies in which the ownership of the Companies is 20% or more are
       adjusted for the Companies' equity in the net income or loss of the
       investees.

   .   Current maturities of long-term debts, long-term debts and bonds
       payable: the fair value of these financial instruments was estimated
       based on the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be paid,
       considering rates of interest at which the Companies could borrow as of
       the respective balance sheet dates.

The estimated fair values of the Companies' financial instruments are as
    follows:

  g.  Postretirement Benefits

   The Company provides postretirement medical benefits to its eligible
retirees and their spouses. Under Indonesian GAAP the Company accounts for
these benefits as they are claimed by eligible retirees or their spouses.
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company has been required, for purposes of U.S.
GAAP, to account for the cost of these benefits over the service period of its
employees based on actuarial computations which are similar to those provided
by SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
Pensions". The transition obligation at the date of initial application of SFAS
No. 106 is Rp 4,239 and is being amortized over the average expected future
service period of active employees, which is 15.93 years.

   The composition of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the
years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 is as follows:

  k.  Recently Issued U.S. GAAP Pronouncements

   In 2001 and 2002, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued the following new accounting pronouncements:

   .   SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" addresses
       financial reporting and reporting for obligations associated with the
       retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset
       retirement costs, including legal obligations.

       This Statement is effective prospectively for financial statements
       issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.

   .   SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
       Activities" addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs
       associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF Issue No.
       94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits
       and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in
       Restructuring)". It requires that a liability for a cost associated with
       an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is
       incurred and also establishes that fair value is the objective for
       initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of this Statement
       shall be effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after
       December 31, 2002.

   .   Emerging Issue Task Force Issue No. 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue
       Arrangement with Multiple Deliverables", requires that arrangements
       involving delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or
       rights to use assets should be divided into separate units of accounting
       and, if separation is appropriate, how the arrangement consideration
       should be allocated to the identified accounting units. This will be
       applicable to agreements entered in fiscal periods beginning after June
       15, 2003 but early adoption is permitted.

   .   FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and
       Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
       Indebtedness of Others", requires that a liability be recorded in the
       guarantor's balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee. In addition, FIN
       45 requires disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued,
       including a roll-forward of the entity's product warranty liabilities.

   In addition, in January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46
("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of
ARB No. 51". FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be
consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors
in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial
interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its
activities without additional subordinated financial support from other
parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or
acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or
acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied
for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003.

   The Companies are not affected by the provisions of SFAS No. 143 because
they do not have transactions contemplated under this Statement.

   The Companies are currently analyzing SFAS No. 146, EITF Issue No. 00-21,
FIN 45 and FIN 46 and have not yet determined the impact on the U.S. GAAP
consolidated financial statements.

  l.  Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Income

   As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, on May 31,
2001, the Company acquired 100% equity interest in Bimagraha from its
stockholders. This transaction was accounted for using the purchase method.
Assuming the transaction occurred since the beginning of the earliest period
presented in the consolidated financial statements (2000), the results of
operations of Bimagraha including its 45% equity interest in Satelindo will be
combined into the Company's financial statements. Additionally, Bimagraha's 45%
equity interest in Satelindo plus the Company's 30% direct ownership in
Satelindo will result in the consolidation of Satelindo into the Companies'
consolidated financial statements. The pro forma consolidated statements of
income for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 as though Bimagraha had
been purchased since the beginning of the earliest period presented herein are
shown in Appendixes IV and V, respectively.

42.  RESTATEMENT OF 2000 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   As discussed in Note 4, the Company acquired from Telkom its 22.5% equity
interest in Satelindo and 37.21% equity interest in Lintasarta, which were both
accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method. These acquisitions
increased the Company's direct equity interest in Satelindo from 7.5% to 30%
and in Lintasarta from 32.25% to 69.46%. Accordingly, the Company's 2000
consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the equity in
Satelindo (previously accounted for by the cost method) and to consolidate the
net assets of Lintasarta (previously accounted for by the equity method), as if
these acquisitions took place at the beginning of the earliest period presented
in the consolidated financial statements (2000).
