Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk ("TELKOM") is dated June 24, 2005. TELKOM is the principal provider of fixed-line services in Indonesia and owns Telkomsel, the country's largest mobile cellular operator. The filing addresses the status of the company's 2004 financial statements and its ongoing regulatory review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity for the 2004 period or the current reporting date. The document focuses exclusively on the procedural status of the financial reporting rather than disclosing financial performance data.
Material Changes and Regulatory Status
The primary material development is the delay in releasing the US GAAP reconciliation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. TELKOM has not released this disclosure prior to its Annual General Meeting due to an ongoing review by the SEC regarding its 2003 Form 20-F. Key regulatory interactions include:
- SEC comment letter received on December 30, 2004.
- TELKOM response and Amendment No. 1 to the 2003 Form 20-F filed on April 25, 2005.
- Further SEC comments received on June 13, 2005.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management is currently working with advisors to resolve remaining SEC comments. The outstanding issues specifically concern:
- US GAAP treatment applied for KSO (Joint Operation Schemes).
- Supporting documents regarding written communication between the auditor and the Audit Committee.
- Actuarial assumptions for the pension plan.
Contingency: If these comments are not resolved, TELKOM may be forced to delay the filing of its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as well as its 2004 annual Securities Report required for filing in Japan. The independent auditor's report from KPMG cannot be finalized until these matters are addressed.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Monitor for potential delays in the filing of the 2004 Form 20-F and the Japanese Securities Report.
