================================================================================ LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS July 30, 2002 DEAR SHAREHOLDER: We are writing to report on the activities of The Indonesia Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") for the six months ended June 30, 2002. At June 30, 2002, the Fund's net assets were $21.2 million. The Fund's net asset value ("NAV") was $2.57 per share, as compared to $1.52 at December 31, 2001. PERFORMANCE Based on NAV, the Fund had a gain of 69.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, versus a gain of 65.01% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International Indonesia Free Index.* The Fund's solid showing in both absolute and relative terms reflected good stock selection in general. Stocks that had particularly strong showings for the Fund included its financial services holdings. The Fund also benefited from its overweightings in the buoyant pharmaceutical and retail areas. Stocks that hindered the Fund's relative return included its banking holdings, which rallied yet, lagged the banking component of the Fund's benchmark. THE MARKET: UP, UP AND AWAY! The first half held many surprises for investors in Indonesia, and, in stark contrast with recent years, most of them were positive. POLITICS. Countering a long standing pattern of cronyism and ineffectiveness, the government of President Megawati achieved a number of advances during the period, not the least of which was diplomatic success in addressing simmering religious conflicts, and military success in countering separatist movements in Aceh and Irian Jaya. The president also proved her mettle by refusing to give in to the parliament's demands that she not attend the independence ceremony of East Timor in May. Her government also refused to extend debt agreements with the country's largest debtors, and, in the case of former bank owners, threatened legal sanctions or imprisonment if their debts were not repaid in a timely manner. And in a case yet to be heard, prosecutors believe they have compelling evidence of corruption charges against the chairman and speaker of the parliament, Akbar Tanjung. THE STOCK MARKET. Foreigners enthusiastically applauded the government's actions, sending the Jakarta exchange up 26% during the first quarter of 2002 (in local-currency terms), and an additional 6% or so in the second quarter. Investors were cheered by a strengthening currency and the government's successful sale of its controlling stake in a major bank, a move seen as leading to further sales of government-held stakes in major corporations, particularly in the telecom sector. Investors also applauded the Indonesian Pension Fund Association's announcement that its members would increase their allocation to domestic equities to 15% in 2002, up from 10% in 2001. ================================================================================ 1 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS THE ECONOMY. Inflation (15.1% on a year-over-year basis in February; 12.9% in May) remained high, leaving a wide discrepancy between real and nominal GDP growth. In other news, the IMF disbursed approximately $700 million in new loans and the country received favorable treatment from the Paris Club 3 and its London Club private creditors on proposals to restructure or delay repayment of various public debts. PORTFOLIO STRUCTURE AND STRATEGY: BUILDING OPPORTUNISTICALLY The exceptional performance of Indonesia's equity markets this year to date will most likely encourage substantial new issuance from government-owned entities and from other corporations that are eager to pay down their debt and otherwise re-capitalize, after several very lean years. This may result in an overall dilution of share prices, as investors shift between available opportunities. There may also yet be some economic backsliding, given the country's massive debt load and the limited policy options available to the government to address it now. In this environment, we plan to continue building opportunistically on positions in the automotive and other consumption-driven industries, which have done quite well this year. We are less positive on export-driven stocks, which tend to suffer when the currency is strong, as it has been. We are also less positive on the telecom sector, given the government's announced plans to sell a good part of its substantial equity stake in the industry. This said, and barring any major negative events, the Indonesian stock market could enjoy continued support if, as many expect, the Rupiah remains strong and stable, and if quarterly corporate results demonstrate sustained earnings growth. OUTLOOK: ENCOURAGED, BUT STILL CAUTIOUS Although little is certain in a land noted for sometimes extreme political and economic volatility, Indonesia appears to be making many of the moves we think are necessary if its economy and its equity marketplace are to continue to improve. We are encouraged, for example, by recent political stability, and efforts by the government to stamp out endemic corruption and bring perpetrators to trial. We are also beginning to see the first fruits of banking reform, with the Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency set to auction an estimated U.S.$17 billion in loans in July. Beyond this, we are witnessing greater stability and sustainability in domestic consumption and exports, particularly oil and gas. Still, we remain concerned that high inflation and massive debt servicing requirements could hinder the government's ability to address current problems through monetary or fiscal policies. As noted, we are also somewhat concerned with the potential impact on domestic equities from a comparative flood of planned new issuance and government equity sales. ================================================================================ 2 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS Only time will tell how these issues will play out. We can only hope that the substantial progress made thus far this year will be replicated in the quarters to come. Respectfully, /s/ Richard W. Watt Richard W.

================================================================================ 11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE INDONESIA FUND, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Indonesia Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated in Maryland on January 8, 1990 and commenced investment operations on March 9, 1990. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. On June 11, 2001, the Fund acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of the Jakarta Growth Fund, Inc. ("JGF") in exchange for Fund shares. Each JGF shareholder became entitled to receive 0.7289 Fund shares for every JGF share and cash in-lieu-of fractional shares, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate 3,657,213 Fund shares. Net assets of the Fund and JGF as of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Reorganization") date were $6,468,268 and $5,132,440, including unrealized depreciation of $6,005,467 and $3,556,343, respectively. Total net assets after the Reorganization were $11,600,708. Significant accounting policies are as follows: MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments are stated at value in the accompanying financial statements. All securities are valued at the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded (the "Primary Market"). If the security did not trade on the Primary Market, it is valued at the closing price on another exchange where it trades. If there are no such sale prices, the value is the most recent bid. Closing prices and bid/asked quotations are supplied by one or more independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors ("Pricing Service"). If no Pricing Service is able to provide such closing prices and there are more than two dealers, brokers or market makers in the security, the value is the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked obtained from at least two dealers, brokers or market makers. If the dealers, brokers or market makers only provide bid quotations, the value is the mean between the highest and the lowest bid provided. If there is only one dealer, broker or market maker, the value is the mean between the bid and the asked quotations provided, unless the dealer, broker or market maker can only provide a bid, in which case the value is the bid. All other securities and assets are valued at the fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost. The Board of Directors has established general guidelines for calculating fair value of not readily marketable securities. The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated on each business day, with the exception of those days on which the Boston Stock Exchange is closed. CASH: Deposits held at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., the Fund's custodian, in a variable rate account are classified as cash. At June 30, 2002, the interest rate was 1.05% which resets on a daily basis. Amounts on deposit are generally available on the same business day. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and U.S. federal income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis; dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. TAXES: No provision is made for U.S. federal income or excise taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all U.S. federal income and excise taxes. At December 31, 2001, the Fund had a capital loss carryover for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $52,112,214 (of which $8,437,172 is subject to Internal Revenue Code Section limitations) of which $8,617,662 expires in 2002; $7,370,210 expires in 2003; $5,731,003 expires in 2004; $4,600,826 expires in 2005; $14,881,456 expires in 2006; $3,253,238 expires in 2007; $5,937,713 expires in 2008 and $1,720,106 expires in 2009. Differences between capital loss carryovers on a book and tax basis primarily relate to timing of the recognition of losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Undistributable ordinary income on a tax basis is the same as book basis. ================================================================================ 12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE INDONESIA FUND, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For U.S. federal income tax purposes, foreign exchange losses incurred after October 31, 2001, within the prior fiscal year, are deemed to arise on the first day of the current fiscal year. The Fund incurred and elected to defer realized foreign exchange losses of $10,498. Income received by the Fund from sources within Indonesia and other countries may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (I) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and (II) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of gains and losses in investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. Accordingly, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses with respect to such securities are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment transaction balances. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions and foreign taxes withheld on security transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Net currency gains from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) in value of investments and translation of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. Net realized foreign exchange losses represent foreign exchange gains and losses from transactions in foreign currencies and forward foreign currency contracts, exchange gains or losses realized between the trade date and settlement date on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received. DISTRIBUTIONS OF INCOME AND GAINS: The Fund distributes at least annually to shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains, if any. The Fund determines annually whether to distribute any net realized long-term capital gains in excess of net realized short-term capital losses, including capital loss carryovers, if any. An additional distribution may be made to the extent necessary to avoid the payment of a 4% U.S. federal excise tax. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes due to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles/tax differences in the character of income and expense recognition. OTHER: Securities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are subject to changes in value due to fluctuations in exchange rates. Investment in Indonesian and other foreign securities requires consideration of certain factors that are not normally involved in investments in U.S. securities. The Indonesian securities market is an emerging market characterized by a small number of company listings, high price volatility and a relatively illiquid secondary trading environment. These factors, coupled with restrictions on investment by foreigners and other factors, limit the supply of securities available for investment by the Fund. This will affect the rate at which the Fund is able to invest in Indonesian and other foreign securities, the purchase and sale prices for such securities and the timing of purchases and sales. The limited liquidity of the Indonesian and other foreign securities markets may also affect the Fund's ability to acquire or dispose of securities at a price and time that it wishes to do so. Accordingly, in periods of rising market prices, the Fund may be unable to participate in such ================================================================================ 13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE INDONESIA FUND, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONCLUDED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- price increases fully to the extent that it is unable to acquire desired portfolio positions quickly; conversely the Fund's inability to dispose fully and promptly of positions in declining markets will cause its net asset value to decline as the value of unsold positions is marked to lower prices. NOTE B. AGREEMENTS Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("CSAM"), serves as the Fund's investment adviser with respect to all investments. As compensation for its advisory services, CSAM receives from the Fund an annual fee, calculated weekly and paid quarterly, equal to 1.00% of the Fund's average weekly net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, CSAM earned $91,578 for advisory services. CSAM also provides certain administrative services to the Fund and is reimbursed by the Fund for costs incurred on behalf of the Fund (up to $20,000 per annum). For the six months ended June 30, 2002, CSAM was reimbursed $1,488 for administrative services rendered to the Fund. Bear Stearns Funds Management Inc. ("BSFM") serves as the Fund's administrator. The Fund pays BSFM a monthly fee that is computed weekly at an annual rate of 0.10% of the first $100 million of the Fund's average weekly net assets and 0.08% of amounts in excess of $100 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, BSFM earned $9,158 for administrative services. Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of CSAM, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing services. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, Merrill was paid $13,564 for its services to the Fund. NOTE C. CAPITAL STOCK The authorized capital stock of the Fund is 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001, par value. Of the 8,266,202 shares outstanding at June 30, 2002, CSAM owned 7,169 shares. NOTE D. INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at June 30, 2002 was $21,103,103. Accordingly, the net unrealized depreciation of investments (including investments denominated in foreign currency) of $419,117, was composed of gross appreciation of $2,336,907 for those investments having an excess of value over cost and gross depreciation of $2,756,024 for those investments having an excess of cost over value. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term investments, were $2,543,804 and $3,119,585, respectively. NOTE E. CREDIT FACILITY Through June 18, 2002, the Fund, together with other funds advised by CSAM (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participated in a $200 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Prior Credit Facility") with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent, State Street Bank and Trust Company as operations agent, BNP Paribas as syndication agent and certain other lenders for temporary or emergency purposes. Under the terms of the Prior Credit Facility, the Participating Funds paid an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Prior Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such a manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds paid interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. Effective June 19, 2002, the Participating Funds, together with additional funds advised by CSAM (collectively with the Participating Funds, the "New Participating Funds"), established a new $150 million committed, unsecured, line of credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and State Street Bank and Trust Company as operations agent for the same purposes as the Prior Credit Facility. Terms of the New Credit Facility remain the same as the Prior Credit Facility. The commitment fee rate and interest rate is unchanged. At June 30, 2002 and during the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Fund had no borrowings under either credit facility. ================================================================================ 14 DESCRIPTION OF INVESTLINK(SM) PROGRAM (UNAUDITED) The InvestLink(SM) Program is sponsored and administered by EquiServe, L.P., not by The Indonesia Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"). EquiServe, L.P. will act as program administrator (the "Program Administrator") of the InvestLink(SM) Program (the "Program"). The purpose of the Program is to provide interested investors with a simple and convenient way to invest funds and reinvest dividends in shares of the Fund's common stock ("Shares") at prevailing prices, with reduced brokerage commissions and fees. An interested investor may join the Program at any time. Purchases of Shares with funds from a participant's cash payment or automatic account deduction will begin on the next day on which funds are invested. If a participant selects the dividend reinvestment option, automatic investment of dividends generally will begin with the next dividend payable after the Program Administrator receives his enrollment form. Once in the Program, a person will remain a participant until he terminates his participation or sells all Shares held in his Program account, or his account is terminated by the Program Administrator. A participant may change his investment options at any time by requesting a new enrollment form and returning it to the Program Administrator. A participant will be assessed certain charges in connection with his participation in the Program. First-time investors will be subject to an initial service charge which will be deducted from their initial cash deposit. All optional cash deposit investments will be subject to a service charge. Sales processed through the Program will have a service fee deducted from the net proceeds, after brokerage commissions. In addition to the transaction charges outlined above, participants will be assessed per share processing fees (which include brokerage commissions.) Participants will not be charged any fee for reinvesting dividends. The number of Shares to be purchased for a participant depends on the amount of his dividends, cash payments or bank account or payroll deductions, less applicable fees and commissions, and the purchase price of the Shares. The Program Administrator uses dividends and funds of participants to purchase Shares of Company Common Stock in the open market. Such purchases will be made by participating brokers as agent for the participants using normal cash settlement practices. All Shares purchased through the Program will be allocated to participants as of the settlement date, which is usually three business days from the purchase date. In all cases, transaction processing will occur within 30 days of the receipt of funds, except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchases is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the Federal Securities laws or when unusual market conditions make prudent investment impracticable. In the event the Program Administrator is unable to purchase Shares within 30 days of the receipt of funds, such funds will be returned to the participants. The average price of all Shares purchased by the Program Administrator with all funds received during the time period from two business days preceding any investment date up to the second business day preceding the next investment date shall be the price per share allocable to a participant in connection with the Shares purchased for his account with his funds or dividends received by the Program Administrator during such time period. The average price of all Shares sold by the Program Administrator pursuant to sell orders received during such time period shall be the price per share allocable to a participant in connection with the Shares sold for his account pursuant to his sell orders received by the Program Administrator during such time period. EquiServe, L.P., as Program Administrator, administers the Program for participants, keeps records, sends statements of account to participants and performs other duties relating to the Program. Each participant in the Program will receive a statement of his account following each purchase of Shares. The statements will ================================================================================ 15 DESCRIPTION OF INVESTLINK(SM) PROGRAM (UNAUDITED)(CONTINUED) also show the amount of dividends credited to such participant's account (if applicable), as well as the fees paid by the participant. In addition, each participant will receive copies of the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders, proxy statements and, if applicable, dividend income information for tax reporting purposes. If the Fund is paying dividends on the Shares, a participant will receive dividends through the Program for all Shares held on the dividend record date on the basis of full and fractional Shares held in his account, and for all other Shares of the Fund registered in his name. The Program Administrator will send checks to the participants for the amounts of their dividends that are not to be automatically reinvested at no cost to the participants. Shares of the Fund purchased under the Program will be registered in the name of the accounts of the respective participants. Unless requested, the Fund will not issue to participants certificates for Shares of the Fund purchased under the Program. The Program Administrator will hold the Shares in book-entry form until a Program participant chooses to withdraw his Shares or terminate his participation in the Program. The number of Shares purchased for a participant's account under the Program will be shown on his statement of account. This feature protects against loss, theft or destruction of stock certificates. A participant may withdraw all or a portion of the Shares from his Program account by notifying the Program Administrator. After receipt of a participant's request, the Program Administrator will issue to such participant certificates for the whole Shares of the Fund so withdrawn or, if requested by the participant, sell the Shares for him and send him the proceeds, less applicable brokerage commissions, fees, and transfer taxes, if any. If a participant withdraws all full and fractional Shares in his Program account, his participation in the Program will be terminated by the Program Administrator. In no case will certificates for fractional Shares be issued. The Program Administrator will convert any fractional Shares held by a participant at the time of his withdrawal to cash. Participation in any rights offering, dividend distribution or stock split will be based upon both the Shares of the Fund registered in participants' names and the Shares (including fractional Shares) credited to participants' Program accounts. Any stock dividend or Shares resulting from stock splits with respect to Shares of the Fund, both full and fractional, which participants hold in their Program accounts and with respect to all Shares registered in their names will be automatically credited to their accounts. All Shares of the Fund (including any fractional share) credited to his account under the Program will be voted as the participant directs. The participants will be sent the proxy materials for the annual meetings of shareholders. When a participant returns an executed proxy, all of such Shares will be voted as indicated. A participant may also elect to vote his Shares in person at the Shareholders' meeting. A participant will receive tax information annually for his personal records and to help him prepare his U.S. federal income tax return. The automatic reinvestment of dividends does not relieve him of any income tax which may be payable on dividends. For further information as to tax consequences of participation in the Program, participants should consult with their own tax advisors. The Program Administrator in administering the Program will not be liable for any act done in good faith or for any good faith omission to act. However, the Program Administrator will be liable for loss or damage due to error caused by its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Shares held in custody by the Program Administrator are not subject to protection under the Securities Investors Protection Act of 1970. ================================================================================ 16 DESCRIPTION OF INVESTLINK(SM) PROGRAM (UNAUDITED)(CONCLUDED) The participant should recognize that neither the Fund nor the Program Administrator can provide any assurance of a profit or protection against loss on any Shares purchased under the Program. A participant's investment in Shares held in his Program account is no different than his investment in directly held Shares in this regard. The participant bears the risk of loss and the benefits of gain from market price changes with respect to all of his Shares. Neither the Fund nor the Program Administrator can guarantee that Shares purchased under the Program will, at any particular time, be worth more or less than their purchase price. Each participant must make an independent investment decision based on his own judgment and research. While the Program Administrator hopes to continue the Program indefinitely, the Program Administrator reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Program at any time. It also reserves the right to make modifications to the Program. Participants will be notified of any such suspension, termination or modification in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Program. The Program Administrator also reserves the right to terminate any participant's participation in the Program at any time. Any question of interpretation arising under the Program will be determined in good faith by the Program Administrator and any such good faith determination will be final. Any interested investor may participate in the Program. To participate in the Program, an investor who is not already a registered owner of the Shares must make an initial investment of at least $250.00. All other cash payments or bank account deductions must be at least $100.00, up to a maximum of $100,000.00 annually. An interested investor may join the Program by reading the Program description, completing and signing the enrollment form and returning it to the Program Administrator. The enrollment form and information relating to the Program (including the terms and conditions) may be obtained by calling the Program Administrator at one of the following telephone numbers: First Time Investors--(800) 969-3294; Current Shareholders--(800) 730-6001. All correspondence regarding the Program should be directed to: Fleet National Bank, InvestLink(SM) Program, P.O. Box 43010, Providence, RI 02940-3010.
