23. LITIGATION
On February 24, 2004, Ati binti Sadim dkk (“Plaintiffs”), who represented themselves as the heirs of the owners of land with
an area of 2,665,044 square meters located in Cipulus and Pasir Kores, Lulut Village - West Java, filed a lawsuit against the
Company for alleged unfair practices employed by the Company in acquiring the aforementioned land, specifically for the
following reasons:
• The land price is too low and inappropriate.
• The purchase price was determined only by the Company.
• The Company did not involve the Plaintiffs in the land measurement process.
• The Company has not paid the price for land with an area of approximately 934,111 square meters which it has taken
possession.
The total loss being claimed by the Plaintiffs due to their inability to use the land for a 30-year period amounts to
Rp41,103,585,000.
Based on the decision of the District Court of Cibinong (the “Court”) dated August 10, 2004, the Court rejected all of the
above claims. The Plaintiffs have submitted an appeal to the High Court of West Java and as of the independent auditors’
report date, the High Court of West Java has not yet rendered its final decision. Management believes that the outcome of
the lawsuit will be in favor of the Company since the claims have no basis and are invalid.
24. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries may be affected by future economic conditions in Indonesia that may
contribute to volatility in currency values and negatively impact economic growth. Economic improvements and sustained
recovery are dependent upon several factors such as fiscal and monetary actions being undertaken by the Government and
others, actions that are beyond the control of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
