                                    =======


Eva Riyanti Hutapea, CEO and President Director of Indofood announced today the
Company's consolidated operating results for the year ended December 31, 2001,
which recorded net sales of Rp.14.6 trillion (2000 : Rp. 12.7 trillion), an
increase of 15% over 2000, whereas net income also increased by 15% to Rp. 746.3
billion (2000: Rp. 646.2 billion). After taking into account the new accounting
principle on "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" SFAS No. 55 which
took effect on January 1, 2001, Indofood's net profit was reduced by Rp. 80
billion without which, Indofood's net profit would have been Rp. 826 billion,
reflecting a growth of 28% over 2000.


Following are Hutapea's comments on Indofood's 2001 financial results :


 1. The sales revenues of the three principal divisions, i.e. Noodles, Edible Oil
    & Fats (Branded & Commodity) and Flour divisions all recorded improvements
    in sales revenues. Noodles recorded sales of Rp. 4,892 billion (2000 : Rp.
    4,424 billion), a 11% year-on-year improvement, Edible Oils & Fats (Branded
    & Commodity) reached Rp. 2,699 billion (2000 : Rp. 2,601 billion), up 4% and
    Flour sales recorded 29% growth in sales to Rp. 4,322 billion (2000 : Rp.
    3,361 billion). All other operating divisions posted increases in their
    sales revenues in 2001, with year-on-year growth ranging between 10% and 62%
    over 2000, with the exception of baby foods division, which did not record
    comparable aid-related sales revenues in 2001.


 2. During 2001 Indofood made substantial loan repayments of US$. 165 million and
    Rp. 347 billion, or equivalent to a total of approximately US$. 200 million.
    The outstanding debts as of December 31, 2001 amounted to US$. 346 million
    and Rp. 2.2 trillion, or equivalent to a total of Rp. 5,8 trillion. These
    loan repayments have significantly improved Indofood's Debt-Equity ratio as
    of December 31, 2001 to 1.6 times (2000 : 2.1 times), while its Net-Gearing
    ratio improved to 1.3 times (2000 : 1.5 times). As at December 31, 2001,
    hedging contracts totaled US$. 310 million thereby covering approximately
    90% of Indofood's outstanding US dollar debts.


 3. Gross profit recorded improvement to Rp. 3,869 billion (2000 : Rp. 3,741
    billion). As of December 31, 2001, gross and operating margins were 26.4%
    and 13.9%, respectively.


 4. The total assets and shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2001 amounted to
    Rp. 13.0 trillion and Rp. 3.6 trillion, respectively compared to Rp.12.6
    trillion and Rp. 3.1 trillion, respectively in 2000.


The Board of Directors intend to propose dividend payments of 30% of its 2001
earnings at the coming AGM. In the near future, the Company has no intention to
undertake any acquisition.


Hutapea also reported that in connection with the share buy-back program,
Indofood has bought back 225.3 million shares up to February 21, 2002 at a total
cost of Rp. 153.1 billion, which represents 25% of the maximum number of shares
approved by its shareholders under this program, which will be implemented in
stages up to November 30, 2002.


Barring unforeseen circumstances, Hutapea indicated that Indofood is geared to
improve operations in 2002 and achieve a favorable turnaround from the
less-than-spectacular performance in 2001.

              dated February 11, 2002 expressed an unqualified opinion.
         2.   Transition adjustment on adoption of new accounting principle arises from the initial adoption of

              year. For purposes of the income per share computation, the stock split made in the year 2000 was
              retroactively effected as if it occurred at the beginning of the year.
         4.   The foreign exchange rates used as at December 31, 2001 and 2000, were Rp 10,400 and Rp 9,595 to US$ 1
