To OurSHAREHOLDERS,
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
On behalf of the Board of Directors of TRC Synergy Berhad, I am pleased to present the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements of the Company and the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2002 for the very first time upon its listing on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE).
The successful listing of TRC Synergy Berhad on the Main Board of the KLSE on 6th August 2002 was indeed a historic milestone for the Company and the Group. The Group has since not only witnessed commendable growth, but also has proven its ability to operate profitably during this uncertain global economic conditions.

Review of Operations
During the period under review, the Group’s main focus was to manage its projects effectively and efficiently within the parameters of quality, cost and time. The year 2002 was indeed a very challenging year for the Group. It was also a year where the country experienced acute labour shortage and this had to a certain extent affected the performance of the Group.
Construction Division
For the period under review, this division was the major revenue contributor for the Group. Despite the competitive environment, this division managed to secure approximately RM236 million worth of contracts both from the government and private sectors. Amongst the bigger packages were the Construction and Completion of Jalan Pantai Baru from Tanjung Kidurong – Suai – Bakam, Sarawak, Section A1, the East Malaysia Hospital : Kuala Penyu Package KP4 and Upgrading of Existing Kuching Polytechnic, Kuching, Sarawak. The Group’s business was started in West Malaysia and later expanded to East Malaysia with the setting up of its branch office in Kuching, Sarawak. Now, with its own local workforce exceeding 200, the East Malaysia operation contributed significantly to the Group’s revenue.
With its construction arm having been accredited with the ISO 9001 : 2000 Quality System the Group has attained the necessary credentials and is set to explore international ventures in the near future.
Property Division
The Group, through its property division, has successfully launched 122 units of semi-detached and terrace houses in Ulu Klang known as Andaman Ukay in the second half of 2002. The gross development value of the project is RM56 million and to date it has achieved commendable sales of more than 90%. The project is expected to be completed in 2004.
The associated company of the Group is currently developing two parcels of land with a total area of 163 acres in Permas Jaya, Johor Bahru. To date, Phase A and B comprising medium cost apartments have been launched. The sales for the 2 phases have not been very encouraging due to the current soft property market in Johor and economic uncertainties.
Manufacturing Division
The Group’s concrete manufacturing arm was set up to compliment the Group’s activities. The Group plans to expand this division to cater for supplies of ready mixed concrete and precast concrete products to third parties in the near future.

Financial Performance
The Group recorded a turnover of RM303.23 million and a pre-tax profit of RM25.73 million, for the financial year ended 31 December 2002. The earnings per share is 37.88 sen whilst the shareholders’ fund stands at RM112.7 million.
The acute labour shortage in the construction industry had a negative impact on several projects undertaken by the Group which in turn had an effect in the Group’s efforts of achieving a higher revenue. In addition, the results of the associated company have also been impacted by the prevailing soft property market in Johor.
Future Outlook
The Malaysian government has projected to achieve the status of a developed nation by the year 2020. The ongoing infrastructure projects and those in the pipeline will ensure that our nation moves to the next level of development.
The Government has projected an economic growth of 4.5% for 2003. This projection together with the soon-to-be-announced Government economic stimulus package is expected to have a positive impact on the performance of the Group and the construction industry as a whole.
Although there are opportunities for the Group, there are also unforeseen circumstances beyond its control. Malaysia, being relatively open, is inextricably linked to the world economy. Barring any major economical and financial upheavals in the world, the future of the Malaysia construction is set for sustainable growth.
Dividend
In view of the current global economic and financial uncertainties, the Board of Directors is recommending first and final tax exempt dividend of 2.5 sen per share to be paid in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2002 amounting to RM1.75 million. The final dividend is subject to shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. Upon approval, the final dividend would be paid on 30 July 2003.
Acknowledgement and Appreciation
On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my fellow colleagues on the Board for their invaluable guidance and council. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the entire management and staff for their deep sense of dedication, hard work, patience, commitment and enthusiasm for the continued advancement of the Group.
Finally, we would like to thank our shareholders, financiers and business associates for their continued support and the Government authorities for their guidance and advice.

Reserves and Provisions
There were no material transfers to or from reserves or provisions during the financial year other than as disclosed in the Statements of Changes In Equity.
Current Assets
Before the income statements and balance sheets of the Group and the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps to ascertain whether any current assets which were unlikely to realise in the ordinary course of business their value as shown in the accounting records of the Group and the Company and the extent so ascertained, were written down to an amount that they might be expected to realise.
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances that would render the values attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and the Company misleading.

The Group and the Company had also exercised early adoption of MASB Standard No.25 “Income Taxes” the financial effects of which are disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Equity in respect of the Group and in Note 25 to the financial statements.
(b) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries made up to 31 December. Subsidiaries are those companies in which the Group has the power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. Subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting under which the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. Goodwill or reserve on consolidation represents the difference between the consideration paid for the shares in the subsidiaries and the fair value of attributable net assets acquired, as applicable.
Goodwill arising on consolidation is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount of such goodwill is assessed in the year it arises, and periodically, including when economic conditions indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. To the extent deemed impaired, such goodwill is written off by a charge to the income statement. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or transactions between the companies within the Group are eliminated. The reserve on consolidation represents the excess of the share of assets of subsidiary companies on acquisition date over the consideration paid for their acquisition.

Notes to the Financial Statements31 December 2002
(c) Subsidiaries
Shares in the subsidiaries are revalued by the Directors at the balance sheet date on the basis of the net asset value of the subsidiaries. Any resulting surplus is taken to a non-distributable revaluation reserve in respect of the Company. A deficit to the extent that it exceeds the amount standing in such reserve is taken to the Income Statement of the Company.
(d) Associated Companies
An associated company is defined as a company, not being a subsidiary, in which the Group has a long term interest of at least 20% but not more than 50% of the equity and in whose financial and operating policy decisions the Group exercises significant influence. Significance influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associated companies but not control over those policies.
Investments in associated companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method of accounting. Equity accounting involves recognising in the income statement the group’s share of results of associated companies for the period. The Group’s share of results and reserves of associated companies acquired or disposed of are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. The Group’s share of post-acquisition reserves of associated companies is added to the initial cost of these investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.The carrying amount of investments in associated companies is assessed periodically and when there are indications of impairment, and any impairment is provided for.
(e) Investments
Investments in subsidiary companies, associated companies and other non-current investments are shown at cost and provision is only made where, in the opinion of the directors, there is permanent diminution in value. Permanent diminution in the value of an investment is recognised as an expense in the period in which the diminution is identified. Other investments held on a long-term basis are shown at cost unless in the opinion of the directors there has been an impairment in value in which case an appropriate provision is made.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is charged or credited to the income statement.
(f) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of property, plant and equipment comprises their purchase prices and any directly attributable costs including interest cost capitalised in bringing the property, plant and equipment to working condition. When property, plant and equipment are sold or retired, their cost or valuation and accumulated depreciation are removed from the financial statements and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the income statement.
Freehold lands are not amortised as it has infinite life. Leasehold land is amortised in equal instalments over the periods of the respective leases that range from 55 to 99 years. Other leasehold lands are depreciated over the remaining period of the respective leases.
All other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis to write off the cost of each asset to their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:
Building 2%
Motor vehicles 20%
Plant and machinery 10%
Office equipment 20%
Furniture and fittings 10%
Renovation 10%
Fully depreciated property, plant and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use.

Notes to the Financial Statements31 December 2002
(g) Leases
Operating leases
Operating leases are leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item. The payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement based on their contractual commitments over the period of the respective leases.
Finance leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group assumes substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised at the estimated present value of the underlying lease payments at the date of inception. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings. The interest element of the finance charge is charged to the income statement over the lease period.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance lease contracts are depreciated over the useful lives of the assets concerned.
(h) Inventories
Inventories comprising raw materials and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of finished goods produced by the Group include costs of direct materials, labour and a proportion of production overheads
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sales, and provisions for obsolete and slow moving items, where applicable.
(i) Development properties
Development properties include all expenditure directly related to development together with an appropriate portion of other indirect expenses and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(j) Land held for development
Land held for development include all expenditure directly related to development together with an appropriate portion of other indirect expenses and are stated at cost.
(k) Receivables
Specific provision for doubtful debts is based on an individual evaluation of receivables or group of receivables.
(l) Payables
Payables are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Group.
(m)Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
(n) Foreign Currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies :-
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Ringgit Malaysia at the approximate rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions or at contracted rates where applicable and where settlement has not taken place at the balance sheet date, at the approximate rates ruling at that date or at contracted rates as applicable. All exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Income Statement.

Notes to the Financial Statements31 December 2002
(o) Deferred Taxation
Deferred taxation is provided for, using the liability method, on all material temporary differences except to the extent that it can be demonstrated, with reasonable probability, that the temporary differences will continue in the foreseeable future. When such temporary differences give rise to net deferred tax benefits, these benefits are not recognised except when there is reasonable expectation of realisation.
(p) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The statements of cash flows, prepared using the indirect method, classify changes in cash and cash equivalents according to operating, investing and financing activities. For the purpose of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balances, deposits with licensed financial institutions, and other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, against which short term bank borrowings are deducted.
(q) Revenue Recognition
(a) Dividend income from long-term investments and, in respect of the Company, from subsidiaries and associated companies, is recognised in the income statement upon the right to receipt of such dividends being established.
(b) Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis.
(c) Revenue on sales of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer.
(d) Rental income is derived from letting out of properties and hire of machineries and recognised as it accrues.
(r) Impairment
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets (other than inventories, deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits and financial assets which are reviewed pursuant to the relevant accounting policies) to determine whether there are any indications that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. Recoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and value in use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flows. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if it is possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is charged to the income statement immediately, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of any available previously recognised revaluation surplus for the same asset.
Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. The reversal is recognised to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortisation and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income statement immediately, unless the asset is stated at revaluation, in which case it is taken to revaluation surplus. However, to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously recognised as an expense in the income statement, a reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

Notes to the Financial Statements31 December 2002
(s) Financial Instruments
Financial instruments carried in the balance sheet include cash and bank balances, investments, debtors, creditors, leases and borrowings. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements for the relevant item. The financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as a liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.
(t) Construction Contracts
When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable and contract costs are recognised as expenses.
When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs are recognised over the period of the contract as revenue and expenses respectively. The Group uses the percentage of completion method to determine the appropriate amount of revenue and costs to recognise in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to the estimated total contract costs.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
The aggregate of the costs incurred and the profit/loss recognised on each contract is compared against the progress billings up to the year end. Where costs incurred and recognised profits (less recognised losses) exceed progress billings, the balance is shown as amounts due from customers on construction contracts. Where progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognised profits (less recognised losses), the balance is shown as amounts due to customers on construction contracts.
(u) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are cash in hand, balances with banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. For purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts.

(a) Revaluation
Certain freehold and leasehold land and buildings of a subsidiary company were revalued by independent professional valuers using the open market valuation basis. However in 2001, a proportion of this revaluation was deemed to be in excess of market values and was consequently subject to a downward revaluation during that year. The properties acquired subsequent to the said revaluation are however stated at cost, as the directors are of the opinion that the purchase consideration for the properties approximate their market values. Had the land and building affected been carried at their historical costs less accumulated depreciation, the carrying amounts of the revalued assets that would have been included in the financial statements at the end of the year are as follows :-
