Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Annual Report and the Group Audited Accounts of TRC Synergy Berhad and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2010.
Chairman’s Statement
Dato’ Sri Sufri Bin Hj MoHD ZinExecutive Chairman
overview
The Malaysia economic fundamentals remain intact despite the challenging external environment and with the government announcement of the Economic Transformation Programme, we expect the country’s economic growth in the short and medium term to continue to support the construction industry.
The Group’s main focus shall remain in expanding its strong business position through continued emphasis on strategic investments, the development of human resources and optimizing costs to further strengthen its profitability and also to continue to assimilate new ideas and innovation to enhance sustainability.
financial review
The year 2010 was a year of challenges, earnings volatility and intense competition.
For the period under review, the Group’s turnover was reduced to RM376.7 million from RM533.8 million in the preceding year representing a reduction of 29.4%. Likewise, the profit after tax also registered a reduction from RM27.3 million in 2009 to RM16.2 million representing a reduction of 40.6%.
The lower turnover was largely due to the completion of some of the major projects like the Submarine Base in Sabah, Bawang Assam Road in Sibu and IPD Dang Wangi project. This in turn has been translated to a lower profit after tax. However, going forward, we expect the Group’s performance to improve significantly in the coming years as we anticipate the country’s robust economic growth to continue to support the construction industry.
review of operationS
Construction
Again, this division remains the main revenue contributor for the Group.
The year 2010 saw the successful completion of projects like, Sibu Bawang Assam Road (RM222million) and IPD Dang Wangi (RM125million). While other projects such as the construction of warehouses for Bintulu Port (RM88 million), the Maritime College Kuantan (RM218 million) and the Northport Container Terminal Klang (RM45.9 million) were in full swing in its implementation and scheduled to be completed in year 2011.
Subsequent to the close of the financial year, the Group was awarded its biggest project thus for, the Kelana Jaya Line Extension Project (Package A) by Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad for a contract sum of RM950 million. This is a very significant milestone for the Group both in terms of value as well as exposure in new area of works and new client. The award of the job is also a testament to the Group’s remitting commitment and delivery capability.
We anticipate year 2011 to be a year of phenomenal growth and we hope to see a few more significant projects coming on stream to the Group. This is in the light of governments emphasis on infrastructure related development that will contribute to the construction industry in general.

The impending development on lot 196, ukay Tropika, ulu Klang, Selangor is expected to be officially launched in the third quarter of 2011. Respond were very good from potential buyers based on our preliminary surveys. This development is expected to generate a Gross Development Value of approximately RM80 million.
Preliminary work is underway for the development of Impian Senibong Apartment – Phase 2 in Johor Bahru. Besides this, other land bank which will be developed in the medium term is the 27 acres piece of land in Plentong, Johor Bahru.
This division, through its wholly owned TRC Land Sdn Bhd is aggressively seeking for land banks to develop commercial or residential properties in Malaysia. In addition to this, the company will also venture into property acquisition and management should opportunity arises.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

• IC Interpretation 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives
IC Interpretation 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment
IC Interpretation 11: FRS 2 - Group and Treasury Share Transactions
• IC Interpretation 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes
• IC Interpretation 14: FRS 119 - the Limit on a Defi ned Benefi t Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements
and their Interaction
• These FRS and IC interpretation are not applicable to the Group and the Company.
Adoption of the above standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the fi nancial performance or
position of the Group and the Company except for those discussed below:
(a) FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
Prior to 1 January 2010, information about fi nancial instruments was disclosed in accordance with the
requirements of FRS 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation. FRS 7 introduces new disclosures
to improve the information about fi nancial instruments. It require the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative
information about exposure to risks arising from fi nancial instruments, including specifi ed minimum disclosures
about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including sensitivity analysis to market risk.
The Group and the Company has applied FRS 7 prospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions.
Hence, the new disclosures have not been applied to the comparative. The new disclosures are included
throughout the Group’s and the Company’s fi nancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010.
(b) FRS 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised)
The revised FRS 101 introduces changes in the presentation and disclosures of fi nancial statements. The
revised Standard separates owner and non-owner changes in equity. The statement of changes in equity
includes only details of transactions with owners, with all non-owner changes in equity presented as a
single line. The Standard also introduces the statement of comprehensive income, with all items of income
and expense recognised in profi t or loss, together with all other items of recognised income and expense
recognised directly in equity, either in one single statement, or in two linked statements. The Group and the
Company have elected to present this statement as one single statement.
In addition, a statement of fi nancial position is required at the beginning of the earliest comparative period
following a change in accounting policy, the correction of an error or the classifi cation of items in the
fi nancial statements.
The revised FRS 101 also requires the Group to make new disclosures to enable users of the fi nancial
statements to evaluate the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital.
The revised FRS 101 was adopted retrospectively by the Group and the Company.
(c) FRS 8 Operating Segments
FRS 8, which replaces FRS 114 Segment Reporting, specifi es how an entity should report information
about its operating segments, based on information about the components of the entity that is available to
the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of allocating resources to the segments and assessing
their performance. The Standard also requires the disclosure of information about the products and
services provided by the segments, the geographical areas in which the Group operates, and revenue from
the Group’s major customers. The Group concluded that the reportable operating segments determined
in accordance with FRS 8 are the same as the business segments previously identifi ed under FRS 114.
The Group has adopted FRS 8 retrospectively. These revised disclosures, including the related revised
comparative information, are shown in Note 42 to the fi nancial statements.

(d) FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
FRS 139 establishes principles for recognising and measuring fi nancial assets, fi nancial liabilities and some
contracts to buy and sell non-fi nancial items. The Company has adopted FRS 139 prospectively on 1
January 2010 in accordance with the transitional provisions. The effects arising from the adoption of this
Standard has been accounted for by adjusting the opening balance of retained earnings as at 1 January
2010. Comparatives are not restated. The details of the changes in accounting policies and the effects
arising from the adoption of FRS 139 are discussed below:
Inter-company loans
During the current and prior years, the Group granted interest -free or low-interest loans and advances
to its subsidiaries. Prior to 1 January 2010, these loans and advances were recorded at cost in the
Company’s fi nancial statements. Upon the adoption of FRS 139, the interest-free or low-interest loans or
advances are recorded initially at a fair value that is lower than cost . The difference between the fair value
and cost of the loan or advances is recognised as an additional investment in the subsidiary.
Available-for-sale ('AFS') investments
Prior to 1 January 2010, the Group classifi ed its investments which were held for non-trading purposes as
non-current investments. Such investments were carried at cost less impairment losses. Upon adoption
of FRS 139, these investment are designated at 1 January 2010 as available-for-sale fi nancial assets and
accordingly stated at fair value.
For those investments that do not have quoted market price in an active market and of which fair value
cannot be reliably measured at 1 January 2010 shall continue to be carried at cost less impairment loss.
Impact on opening balance
In accordance with the transitional of FRS 139, the above changes are applied prospectively and the
comparative as at 31 December 2009 are not restated. Instead, the changes have been accounted for by
restating the following balances in the statement of fi nancial position as at 1 January 2010:

(e) Amendments to FRS 117: Leases
The Group has adopted the Amendments to FRS 117. The Group reassessed and determined that all
leasehold land of the Group which are in substance fi nance leases and has reclassifi ed the leasehold
land to property, plant and equipment. The change in accounting policy has been made retrospectively in
accordance with transitional provision of the amendments.

2.3 Summary of Signifi cant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated fi nancial statements comprise the fi nancial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries as at the reporting date. The fi nancial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of
the consolidated fi nancial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. Consistent
accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group
transactions are eliminated in full.
Acquisition of subsidiaries are accounted for by applying the purchase method. Identifi able assets acquired
and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair
values at the acquisition date.
Adjustments to those fair values relating to previously held interests are treated as a revaluation and
recognised in other comprehensive income. The cost of a business combination is measured as the
aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed,
and equity instruments issued, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. Any excess
of the cost of business combination over the Group’s share in the net fair value of the acquired subsidiary’s
identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is recorded as goodwill on the statement of fi nancial
position. The accounting policy for goodwill is set out in Note 2.3(i). Any excess of the Group’s share in
the net fair value of the acquired subsidiary’s identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the
cost of business combination is recognised as income in profi t or loss on the date of acquisition. When the
Group acquires a business, embedded derivatives separated from the host contract by the acquiree are
reassessed on acquisition unless the business combination results in a change in the terms of the contract
that signifi cantly modifi es the cash fl ows that would otherwise be required under the contract.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains
control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

2.3 Summary of Signifi cant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
(b) Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies
so as to obtain benefi ts from its activities.
In the Company’s fi nancial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment
losses.
(c) Associates
An associate is an entity, not being a subsidiary or a joint venture, in which the Group has signifi cant
infl uence. An associate is equity accounted for from the date the Group obtains signifi cant infl uence until
the date the Group ceases to have signifi cant infl uence over the associate.
The Group’s investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity
method, the investment in associates is measured in the statement of fi nancial position at cost plus post
-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associates. Goodwill relating to associates
is included in the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value
of the associate’s identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is
excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination
of the Group’s share of the associate’s profi t or loss for the period in which the investment is acquired.
When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associates, the
Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf
of the associate.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an
additional impairment loss on the Group’s investment in its associates. The Group determines at each
reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in associate is impaired. If this
is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable
amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount in profi t or loss.
The fi nancial statements of the associates are prepared as of the same reporting date as the Company.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.
In the Company’s separate fi nancial statements, investment in associates are stated at cost less impairment
losses. On disposal of such investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying
amounts is included in profi t or loss.
(d) Jointly Controlled Entitiy
A joint venture is a contractual agreement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity
that is subject to joint control, that is when the strategic fi nancial and operating policy decisions relating to
the activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Joint venture arrangements that involve the establishment of a separate entity in which each venturer
has an interest are referred to as jointly control entities. The Group reports its interests in jointly controlled
entities using equity accounting method.
The fi nancial statements of the joint venture are prepared as of the same reporting date as the Company.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies into line with those of the Group.

2.3 Summary of Signifi cant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent costs are included in
the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable
that future economic benefi ts associated with the item will fl ow to the Group and the cost of the item can
be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and
maintenance are charged to the income statement during the fi nancial period in which they are incurred.
Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses, if any. The policy for recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in
accordance with No. 2.3 (j).
Certain freehold and leasehold land and buildings are stated at revalued amount, which is the fair value
at the date of the revaluation less any accumulated impairment losses. Fair value is determined from
market-based evidence by appraisal that is undertaken by professionally qualifi ed valuers. Revaluations
are performed with suffi cient regularity to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ
materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the balance sheet date. Any revaluation
surplus is credited to the revaluation reserve included within equity, except to the extent that it reverses a
revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised in profi t or loss, in which case the increase
is recognised in profi t or loss to the extent of the decrease previously recognised. A revaluation defi cit is
fi rst offset against unutilised previously recognised revaluation surplus in respect of the same asset and the
balance is thereafter recognised in profi t or loss. Upon disposal or retirement of an asset, any revaluation
reserve relating to the particular asset is transferred directly to retained earnings.
Freehold land is not depreciated as it has an infi nite life. Leasehold land is amortised over the maximum
period of 99 years. Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis to write
off the cost of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, at the following annual
rates:
Renovation - 10%
Buildings - 2%
Plant, machinery and tools - 10%
Furniture and fi ttings - 10%
Motor vehicles - 20%
Offi ce equipment and computers - 20%
Telecommunication equipment - 20%
The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each fi nancial year end to ensure
that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the
expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefi ts embodied in the items of property, plant
and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic
benefi ts are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses on disposal are determined by comparing the
proceeds with the carrying amount of the related asset and are included in the statement of comprehensive
income.

2.3 Summary of Signifi cant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
(f) Leases
Finance leases - as lessee
Assets acquired by way of hire purchase or fi nance leases are stated at an amount equal to the lower of
their fair values and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases, less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The corresponding liability is included in the balance
sheet as borrowings.
In calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments, the discount factor used is the interest
rate implicit in the lease, when it is practicable to determine; otherwise, the Group’s incremental borrowing
rate is used. Any initial direct costs are also added to the carrying amount of such assets.
Lease payments are apportioned between the fi nance costs and the reduction of the outstanding liability.
Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total leasing commitments and the fair value of
the assets acquired, are recognised in the income statement over the term of the relevant lease so as to
produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting
period.
The depreciation policy for leased assets is in accordance with that for depreciable property, plant and
equipment as described in Note 2.3(e).
(g) Investment Properties
Investment properties principally comprise buildings, are held for long term rental yields or for capital
appreciation or both, and are not occupied by the Group.
Investment properties are initially measured at its cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, representing open-market value determined by
external valuers. Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any differences in
the nature, location or condition of the specifi c asset. Gains or losses arising from change in fair value of
investment properties are recognised in profi t or loss in the period in which they arise.
A property interest under an operating lease is classifi ed and accounted for as an investment property on
a property-by-property basis when the Group holds it to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both.
Any such property interest under an operating lease classifi ed as an investment property is carried at fair
value.
An investment property is derecognised on its disposal, or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no
future economic benefi ts are expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount is recognised in profi t or loss in the period of the retirement or disposal.
Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from
investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair
value at the date of change in use. For a transfer from owner-occupied property to investment property,
the property is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy for property, plant and equipment
set out in Note 2.3(e) up to date of change in use.

(h) Foreign Currencies
(i) Functional and Presentation Currency
The individual fi nancial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”).
The consolidated fi nancial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is also the
Company’s functional currency.
(ii) Foreign Currency Transactions
In preparing the fi nancial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than
the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies using the
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date.
Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated
at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are
measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslating of
monetary items, are included in profi t or loss except for exchange differences arising on monetary
items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operation which are recognised initially
in other comprehensive income and accumulated under foreign currency translation reserve in equity.
The foreign currency translation reserve is reclassifi ed from equity to profi t or loss of the Group on
disposal of the foreign operation.
Exchange differences arising on the retranslating of non-monetary items carried at fair value are
included in profi t or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the retranslating of non-
monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange
differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity.
(iii) Foreign Operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into RM at the rate of exchange ruling
at the reporting date and income and expenses are translated at exchange rates at the dates of
the transactions. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to other
comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operations, the cumulative amount recognised on
other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under foreign currency translation reserve
relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the profi t or loss.
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less
accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired is allocated, from the acquisition date, to each of
the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefi t from the synergies of the combination.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
2.3 Summary of Signifi cant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
(i) Goodwill (cont’d)
The cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually and
whenever there is an indication that the cash-generating unit be impaired, by comparing the carrying
amount of the cash-generating unit, including the allocated goodwill, with the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying
amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the profi t or loss. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill
are not reversed in subsequent periods.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that cash-generating
unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying
amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed
of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative fair values of the operations disposed of and the
portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
(j) Impairment of Non-fi nancial Assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Group
makes an estimate of the assets’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are
separately identifi able cash fl ows (cash-generating units (“CGU”)).
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fl ows expected to be generated by the asset are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refl ects current market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specifi c to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds
its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised
in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated fi rst to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill
allocated to those units of groups of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in
the unit or groups of units on a pro-rate basis.
Impairment losses are recognised in profi t or loss except for assets that are previously revalued where the
revaluation was taken to other comprehensive income. In this case the impairment is also recognised in
other comprehensive income up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised
impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets’s
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount
of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously.
Such reversal is recognised in profi t or loss unless the asset is measured at revalued amount, in which
case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in a
subsequent period.

(k) Financial Assets
Financial assets are recognised in the statements of fi nancial position when, and only when, the Group and
the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the fi nancial instrument.
When fi nancial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of fi nancial
assets not at fair value through profi t or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group and the Company determine the classifi cation of their fi nancial assets at initial recognition, and
the categories include fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss, loans and receivables, held to-
maturity investments and available-for-sale fi nancial assets.
(i) Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profi t or Loss
Financial assets are classifi ed as fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss if they are held
for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets held for trading are
derivatives (including separated embedded derivatives) or fi nancial assets acquired principally for the
purpose of selling in the near term.
Subsequently to initial recognition, fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss are measured at
fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in profi t or loss. Net
gains or net losses on fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss do not include exchange
differences, interest and dividend income. Exchange difference, interest and dividend income on
fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss are recognised separately in profi t or loss as part of
other losses or other income.
Financial assets at fair value through profi t or loss could be presented as current or non-current.
Financial assets that is held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current whereas fi nancial
assets that is not held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current or non-current based
on the settlement date.
(ii) Loans and Receivables
Financial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are
classifi ed as loans and receivables.
Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profi t or loss when the loans and
receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
Loans and receivables are classifi ed as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later
than 12 months after the reporting date which are classifi ed as non-current.
(iii) Available-for-sale Financial Assets
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are fi nancial assets that are designated as available for sale or are
not classifi ed as fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss, loans and receivables or held to
maturity.

2.3 Summary of Signifi cant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
(k) Financial Assets (cont’d)
(iii) Available-for-sale Financial Assets (cont’d)
After initial recognition, available-for-sale fi nancial assets are measured at fair value. Any gains or
losses from changes in fair value of the fi nancial assets are recognised in other comprehensive
income, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments
and interest calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profi t or loss. The
cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassifi ed from
equity to profi t or loss as a reclassifi cation adjustment when the fi nancial asset is derecognised.
Interest income calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profi t or loss. Dividends
on an available-for-sale equity instrument are recognised in profi t or loss when the Group and the
Company’s right to receive payment is established.
Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost
less impairment loss.
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are classifi ed as non-current assets unless they are expected to be
realised within 12 months after the reporting date.
A fi nancial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash fl ows from the asset
has expired. On derecognition of a fi nancial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying
amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been
recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profi t or loss.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of fi nancial assets that require delivery of assets
within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All
regular way purchases and sales of fi nancial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date
i.e the date that the Group and the Company commit to purchase or sell the asset.
(l) Impairment of Financial Assets
The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that
a fi nancial asset is impaired.
(i) Trade and Other Receivables and Other Financial Assets Carried at Amortised Cost
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on fi nancial assets has
been incurred, the Group and the Company consider factors such as the probability of insolvency or
signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor and default or signifi cant delay in payments. For certain
categories of fi nancial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired
individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis based on similar risk
characteristics. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the
Group’s and the Company’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of
delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period and observable changes in national
or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between
the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the
fi nancial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss.

2.3 Summary of Signifi cant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
(l) Impairment of Financial Assets (cont'd)
(i) Trade and Other Receivables and Other Financial Assets Carried at Amortised Cost (Cont'd)
The carrying amount of the fi nancial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all fi nancial
assets. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease
can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously
recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not
exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profi t or loss.
(ii) Unquoted Equity Securities Carried at Cost
If there is objective evidence (such as signifi cant adverse changes in the business environment where
the issuer operates, probability of insolvency or signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the issuer) that an
impairment loss on fi nancial assets carried at cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is
measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash fl ows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar fi nancial asset. Such
impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods.
(iii) Available-for-sale Financial Assets
Signifi cant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the issuer or
obligor, and the disappearance of an active trading market are considerations to determine whether
there is objective evidence that investment securities classifi ed as available-for-sale fi nancial assets
are impaired.
If an available-for-sale fi nancial assets is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its
cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment
loss previously recognised in profi t or loss, is transferred from equity to profi t or loss.
Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments are not reversed in profi t or loss in the
subsequent periods. Increase in fair value, if any, subsequent to impairment loss is recognised in other
comprehensive income. For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently
reversed in profi t or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to
an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss in profi t or loss.
(m) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits, and short-term,
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an
insignifi cant risk of changes in value.
(n) Construction Contract
Where the outcome of a contract can be reliably estimated, contract revenue and contract costs are
recognised as revenue and expenses respectively by using the stage of completion method. 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.
Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be reliably estimated, contract revenue is recognised
to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised
as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

2.3 Summary of Signifi cant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
(n) Construction Contract (cont’d)
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is
recognised as an expense immediately.
Contract revenue comprises the initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract and variations in contract
work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and
they are capable of being reliably measured.
When the total of costs incurred on construction contracts plus, recognised profi ts (less recognised losses),
exceeds progress billings, the balance is classifi ed as amount due from customers on contracts. When
progress billings exceed costs incurred plus, recognised profi ts (less recognised losses), the balance is
classifi ed as amount due to customers on contracts.
(o) Land Held For Property Development and Property Development Costs
(i) Land Held for Property Development
Land held for property development consists of land where no development activities have been
carried out or where development activities are not expected to be completed within the normal
operating cycle. Such land is classifi ed within non-current assets and is stated at cost less any
accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Land held for property development is reclassifi ed as property development costs at the point when
development activities have commenced and where it can be demonstrated that the development
activities can be completed within the normal operating cycle.
(ii) Property Development Costs
Property development costs comprise all costs that are directly attributable to development activities
or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities.
When the fi nancial outcome of a development activity can be reliably estimated, property development
revenue and expenses are recognised in the profi t or loss by using the stage of completion method.
The stage of completion is determined by the proportion that property development costs incurred
for work performed to date bear to the estimated total property development costs.
Where the fi nancial outcome of a development activity cannot be reliably estimated, property
development revenue is recognised only to the extent of property development costs incurred that is
probable will be recoverable, and property development costs on properties sold are recognised as
an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Any expected loss on a development project, including costs to be incurred over the defects liability
period, is recognised as an expense immediately.
Property development costs not recognised as an expense are recognised as an asset, which is
measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The excess of revenue recognised in the profi t or loss over billings to purchasers is classifi ed as
accrued billings within trade receivables and the excess of billings to purchasers over revenue
recognised in profi t or loss is classifi ed as progress billings within trade payables.

(p) Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is determined using the fi rst in, fi rst out method. The cost of raw materials comprises costs of
purchase. The costs of fi nished goods and work-in-progress comprise costs of raw materials, direct labour,
other direct costs and appropriate proportions of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating
capacity. The cost of unsold properties comprises cost associated with the acquisition of land, direct costs
and appropriate proportions of common costs.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less all
estimated costs of completion and applicable variable selling expenses. In arriving at the net realisable
value, due allowances is made for all obsolete and slow moving items.
(q) Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classifi ed according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into
and the defi nitions of a fi nancial liability.
Financial liabilities, within the scope of FRS 139, are recognised in the statement of fi nancial position when,
and only when, the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the fi nancial
instrument. Financial liabilities are classifi ed as either fi nancial liabilities at fair value through profi t or loss or
other fi nancial liabilities.
(i) Financial Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profi t or Loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profi t or loss include fi nancial liabilities held for trading and
fi nancial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profi t or loss.
Financial liabilities held for trading include derivatives entered into by the Group and the Company that
do not meet the hedge accounting criteria. Derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value and
subsequently stated at fair value, with any resultant gains or losses recognised in profi t or loss. Net
gains or losses on derivatives include exchange differences.
The Group and the Company have not designated any fi nancial liabilities as at fair value through profi t
or loss.
(ii) Other Financial Liabilities
The Group’s and the Company’s other fi nancial liabilities include trade payables, other payables and
loans and borrowings.
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction
costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are
classifi ed as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
For other fi nancial liabilities, gains and losses are recognised in profi t or loss when the liabilities are
derecognised, and through the amortisation process.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
2.3 Summary of Signifi cant Accounting Policies (cont'd)
(q) Financial Liabilities (cont'd)
A fi nancial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an existing
fi nancial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the
terms of an existing liability are substantially modifi ed, such an exchange or modifi cation is treated as a
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of new liability, and the difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognised in profi t or loss.
(r) Equity Instruments
Ordinary shares are classifi ed as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period
in which they are declared.
The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of tax.
Equity transaction costs comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity
transaction which would otherwise have been avoided.
(s) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset are recognised in profi t or loss using the effective interest method.
Following the adoption of FRS 123, Borrowing Costs, borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period
of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure
for the asset is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to
prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended
or ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use
or sale are interrupted or completed.
(t) Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan Stocks ("ICULS")
The ICULS are regarded as compound fi nancial instruments, consisting of a liability component and
an equity component. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using
the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible borrowings. The difference between the
proceeds of issue of the ICULS and the fair value assigned to the liability component, representing the
conversion option is included in equity. The liability component is subsequently stated at amortised cost
using the effective interest rate method until extinguished on conversion, whilst the value of the equity
component is not adjusted in subsequent periods.
Under the effective interest rate method, the interest expense on the liability component is calculated by
applying the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible borrowings to the instrument at the
date of issue. The difference between this amount and the interest paid is added to the carrying amount
of the ICULS.

(u) Warrants
Warrants issued in conjunction with the Rights Issue in fi nancial year ended 31 December 2007 are not
recognised on the date of issue.
The issue of ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrant are treated as new subscription of ordinary
shares for the consideration equivalent to the exercise price of the warrants.
(v) Share Based Payments
The Group and the Company recognised an increase in share capital and share premium when the options
were exercised as the ESOS Scheme was implemented in 2004 before the effective date of implementation
of FRS 2, Share-based Payment.
(w) Employee Benefi ts
(i) Short-term Benefi ts
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year
in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and the Company. Short
term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services
are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences, and
short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the
absences occur.
(ii) Defi ned Contribution Plans
Defi ned contribution plans are post-employment benefi t plans under which the Group and the
Company pays fi xed contributions into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive
obligation to pay further contributions if any of the funds do not hold suffi cient assets to pay all
employee benefi ts relating to employee services in the current and preceding fi nancial years. Such
contributions are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
As required by law, companies in Malaysia make such contributions to the Employees Provident Fund
(“EPF”).
(iii) Termination Benefi ts
Termination benefi ts are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date
or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefi ts. The Group
and the Company recognises termination benefi ts as liability and an expense when is demonstrably
committed to either terminate the employment of current employees according to a detailed plan
without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefi ts as a result of an offer made to
encourage voluntary redundancy. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy,
the measurement of termination benefi ts is based on the number of employees expected to accept
the offer. Benefi ts falling due more than twelve month after balance sheet date are discounted to
present value.

(x) Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefi ts will fl ow to the Group
and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received
or receivable.
(i) Sale of Goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon the transfer of signifi cant risk and rewards of
ownership of the goods to the customer. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are
signifi cant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible
return of goods.
(ii) Construction Contracts
Revenue from construction contracts is accounted for by the stage of completion method as
described in Note 2.3(n).
(iii) Sale of Properties
Revenue from sale of properties is accounted for by the stage of completion method as described
in Note 2.3(o)(ii).
(iv) Interest Income
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at effective
interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discount estimated future cash receipts through
the expected life of the fi nancial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.
(v) Rental Income
Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The aggregate cost of
incentives provided to lessees are recognised as a reduction of rental income over the lease term on
a straight-line basis.
(vi) Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
(vii) Management Fees
Management fees are recognised when services are rendered.
(y) Income Taxes
(i) Current Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid
to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are
enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

(y) Income Taxes (cont’d)
(i) Current Tax (cont’d)
Current taxes are recognised in profi t or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items
recognised outside profi t or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
(ii) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for fi nancial reporting
purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except :
- where deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability
in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects
neither accounting profi t nor taxable profi t or loss.
- in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates
and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can
be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable
future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused
tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profi t will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and
unused tax losses can be utilised except:
- where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the
time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profi t nor taxable profi t or loss; and
- in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent
that it is probable that temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable
profi t will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that suffi cient taxable profi t will be available to allow all or part
of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each
reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profi t
will allow the deferred tax assets to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profi t or loss is recognised outside profi t or
loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred tax arising from a business combination is
adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.

(ii) Deferred Tax (cont’d)
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax relate to the same taxable entity
and the same taxation authority.
(iii) Sales Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except:
- where the sales tax incurred in a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the
taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of
the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
- receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included.
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part
of receivables or payables in the statements of fi nancial position.
(z) Contingencies
A contingent liability or asset is a possible obligation or asset that arises from past events and whose
existence will be confi rmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future event(s) not
wholly within the control of the Group.
Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised in the statements of fi nancial position of the Group.
2.4 Signifi cant Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the fi nancial
statements. They affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on
historical experience and other relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key source of estimation or uncertainty at the balance
sheet date, that have a signifi cant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next fi nancial year are set out below.
(i) Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment
The costs of property, plant and equipment of the Group and of the Company are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. Management estimates the useful lives of the plant
and equipment as disclosed in Note 2.3(e). These are common life expectancies applied in the industry.
Changes in the expected level of usage could have impact the useful lives and the residual values of these
assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amounts of the Group’s and
of the Company’s property, plant and equipment at 31 December 2010 are disclosed in Note 14 to the
fi nancial statements.

2.4 Signifi cant Accounting Estimates and Judgements (cont’d)
(ii) Estimation of Fair Value of pProperties
In the absence of current prices in an active market for similar properties, the Group considers information
from a variety of sources, including:
(a) current prices in an active market for properties of a different nature, condition or location (or subject
to different lease or other contracts), adjusted to refl ect differences; or
(b) recent prices of similar properties based on less active market, with adjustments to refl ect any
changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions that occurred at those prices.
(iii) Impairment of Goodwill on Consolidation
The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis, in accordance with the
accounting policy disclosed in Note 2(j). This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-
generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to
make an estimate of the expected future cash fl ows from the cash-generating unit and also to choose
a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash fl ows. The carrying amount
of the Group’s goodwill on consolidation at 31 December 2010 is disclosed in Note 16 to the fi nancial
statements.
(iv) Income Taxes
The Group has exposure to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. There are certain transactions and
computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.
Signifi cant judgement is involved especially in determining tax base allowances and deductibility of certain
expenses in determining the Group-wide provision for income taxes. The Group recognises liabilities for
expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the fi nal tax
outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will
impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
(v) Employees' Share Option Scheme
The fair value of share options granted during the fi nancial year was estimated by the management pursuant
to the By-Laws approved by the shareholders, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which
the options were granted. The fair value of share options was measured at Grant Date. The principal
assumption used in the fair value estimations is disclosed in Note 35 to the fi nancial statements.
(vi) Impairment of Property Development Cost and Investment Properties
The Group and the Company carried out the impairment test based on a variety of estimation including
the value-in-use of the investment properties and property development costs. Estimating the value-in-use
required the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash fl ows from these assets and also to
choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash fl ows. The carrying
amount of investment properties and property development costs of the Group and the Company as at 31
December 2010 were disclosed in Note 13 and 15 to the fi nancial statements respectively.

(vii) Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unabsorbed tax losses and deductible temporary differences to the
extent it is probable that taxable profi t will be available against which the losses and deductible temporary
differences can be utilised. Signifi cant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred
tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profi ts together with
future tax planning strategies. The total carrying values of unrecognised tax losses and deductible temporary
differences of the Group were disclosed in Note 31 to the fi nancial statements.
(viii) Construction Contracts
The Group and the Company recognises contract revenue and contract costs as revenue and expenses
respectively in the income statement using the stage of completion method. The stage of completion is
determined by reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to the
estimated total contract costs.
Signifi cant judgment is required in determining the stage of completion, the extent of the contract costs
incurred, the estimated total contract revenue and costs, as well as the recoverability of the construction
contracts. In making the judgment, the Group evaluate based on past experience and by relying on the
work of specialists.
(ix) Contingent Liabilities
Determination of the treatment of contingent liabilities in the fi nancial statements is based on the
management’s view of the expected outcome of the applicable contingency.

The Group’s reportable segments, as described below, are the Group’s strategic business units. The strategic business

quarterly basis. Other business units are reported as ‘others’. The following summary describes the operations in each
of the Group’s reportable segments :
• Construction activity
• Property development
