A WALL BEGINS WITH ONE BRICK. A BUILDING BEGINS WITH MANY.

BEHIND LAYERS OF PAINT, CEMENT, GLASS AND METAL FACADES, A STRUCTURE OF BRICKS IS CAREFULLY CONSTRUCTED TO STAND THE TESTS OF TIME. THESE SIMPLE RECTANGULAR UNASSUMING BLOCKS ARE THE ESSENCE OF EVERY BUILDING, EVERY BRIDGE, EVERY HOSPITAL, EVERY HOME.

BRICKS ARE THE SIMPLEST AND MOST NECESSARY ELEMENT IN THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. EACH INTERLAYING BRICK IS STRONG AND STURDY AND SIGNIFIES TRC SYNERGY BERHAD’S CORE AND DEDICATED INVOLVEMENT IN THE INDUSTRY.

AS BRICKS FORM BUILDINGS, TRC’S SUCCESS IS ACHIEVED THROUGH THE SYNERGISTIC EFFORTS AND COMBINED CALIBERS OF ALL ITS MEMBERS. IT IS THIS FORMULA THAT GUIDES THE COMPANY’S REALIZATION OF BECOMING ONE OF MALAYSIA’S LARG-EST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL CORPORATIONS.

WE ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF OUR NATION.introduction 01

TO ALL OUR SHAREHOLDERS

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF TRC SYNERGY BERHAD, I HAVE PLEASURE IN PRESENTING TO YOU THE ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE GROUP FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2004.

02 T R C S Y N E R G Y B E R H A D | A N N U A L R E P O R T

REVIEW OF OPERATIONSThe year 2004 has been another challenging year for the Group. In the past 12 months, there has been a sharp

decline in the number of government and private sector jobs and infrastructure projects. Overall, the construction

sector contracted by 1.9% in the year under review. The scarcity of jobs coupled by the sharp rise in construc-

tion related material costs like steel bars and diesel have greatly impacted the Group’s performance.

CONSTRUCTION DIVISIONFor the period under review, construction activity was the main revenue contributor for the Group. Due to the

slowdown in the construction sector, the Group’s construction arm was not able to secure any sizeable projects.

The New Prison Complex in Bentong, which was initially expected to commence in the third quarter of 2004,

has now been deferred to the first half of 2005.

In order to cushion the impact of the contracting domestic construction activity, the Group has intensified its

efforts to venture abroad, particularly, in countries like India, Middle East and Africa. We are confident that some

of these ventures would materialise in the coming years and this would help to sustain the Group’s construction

division.

PROPERTY DIVISIONThe Group, through its property arm, has successfully completed 122 units of semi-detached and terrace

houses in Ulu Klang known as Andaman Ukay and a Certificate of Fitness was issued in June 2004.

The associated company of the Group is currently developing part of a piece of land measuring 163 acres

in the Plentong region, next to Permas Jaya, in Johor Bahru. It has, to date, completed Phase A compris-

ing of 352 units of Medium Cost Apartments. Two blocks out of the five blocks of Medium Cost Apart-

ments in Phase B comprising 356 units are currently being developed. So far, the sales for Phase B have

been slow due to the soft property market in Johor. We are currently re-strategising the development of

the remaining land bank to be more in line with the prevailing market trends and demands of properties

in Johor and to tap into its potential.

MANUFACTURING DIVISIONDue to the slowdown in construction activity, this division was relatively dormant for the period under

review.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCEThe Group recorded a turnover of RM304.438,368 million and a pre-tax profit of RM378,811 for the

financial year ended 31 December 2004.

The low pre-tax margin is largely due to the rise in diesel prices and other construction material costs,

which have invariably eroded the Group’s margin.

CHANGES IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE GROUPOn 2 July 2004, the Company acquired 9 shares of RM1.00 each in TRC Infra Sdn. Bhd., at par representing 90% equity interest, thus

becoming a new subsidiary of the Group.

The Group had also incorporated a new subsidiary in India known as TRC Construction India Private Limited on 12 August 2004. It is

a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and it is expected to carry out construction activities in India.

In addition to the above,, the Company had on 1 November 2004 incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, TRC International Pte. Ltd -

an offshore company in Labuan - to serve as an investment holding company for the international activities of the Group.

The rationale for the acquisition and incorporation of the above companies is to set a platform for the Group to expand its operations

both locally and internationally.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOKIn accordance with the Economic Report 2004/2005, the construction sector is forecasted to grow by 1.8% in the year 2005, contrib-

uted partly by the civil-engineering sub-sector. The housing sub-sector is also envisaged to remain robust, underpinned by higher

incomes, low interest rates, and easy access to loans.

Greater public spending is seen on road and util ity, especially water, projects in the coming years. Emphasis on improving road network

is mainly focused on East Malaysia and the upgrading of federal roads in the state of Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan. We envisage

that the Government will revive spending on projects under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) and this is expected to have a positive impact

on the performance of the Group going forward.

DIVIDENDWith due recognition to the Company’s shareholders’ support, the Board of Directors is recommending a First and Final gross dividend

of 1.5 sen per share less 28% income tax amounting to RM997,920.00 for the financial year ended 31 December 2004. The dividend

is subject to the shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming annual general meeting.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND APPRECIATIONOn behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all our valued clients, bankers and business associ-

ates for their undivided support. I would also like to put on record my gratitude to the management and staff of the Group for their effort

and hard work in spite of the challenging business environment in the preceding year.

Finally, we acknowledge and appreciate the continuing support of our shareholders and we hope that the prospect for the coming years

would be better for the Group.

Chairman and ChiefExecutive

Senior IndependentNon-ExecutiveDirector to whomconcerns may beconveyed

The Company is headed by an Executive Chairman and therefore, the roles of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are not separate. The Board is of the opinion that the check and balance of power is undertaken by the strong presence of Independent Non-Executive Directors in the Board. Furthermore, the Chairman encourages all Directors to participate actively in all deliberation of issues that concern the Group.

Hence, the Board maintains the view that this combined arrangement will not hamper the Board from making fair decisions for the best interest of the Group.

Presently, all Board Members are accessible by the shareholders and public inves-tors where they can relay their concerns over company matters. Therefore, the appointment of Senior Independent Non-Executive Director to assume such respon-sibilities is not timely necessary.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIESThe financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with applicable Approved Accounting Standards issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB) and comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965. The principal accounting policies of the Group are as follows:-

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Basis of Preparation of Financial StatementsThe financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention except for revaluation of certain properties included under property, plant and equipment.

Basis of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries made up to 31 December. Subsidiar-ies 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.

Subsidiary CompaniesSubsidiaries are those companies in which the Group has a long term equity interest and where it has power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits therefrom.

Investments in subsidiary companies are stated in the financial statements of the Group at cost unless, in the opinion of the directors, there has been a permanent diminution in value, in which case an appropriate provision is made.

Associated CompanyAssociate is a company in which the Group has a long term equity interest and where it exercises significant influence over the financial and operat-ing policies.

Investments in associate are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method of accounting based on the audited or management financial statements of the associate. Under the equity method of accounting, the Group's share of profits less losses of associates during the year is included in the consolidated income statement. The Group's interest in associates is carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus the Group's share of post-acquisition retained profits or accumulated losses and other reserves as well as goodwill on acquisition.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered.

Long Term InvestmentsLong term investments are stated at cost unless in the opinion of the directors there has been a permanent diminution in value, in which case provision is made for the diminution in value.

Property, Plant and EquipmentProperty, plant and equipment are stated at cost modified by the revaluation of certain land and buildings, less accumulated depreciation and amortisation.

Freehold land is not depreciated. Leasehold land is amortised over the period of leases ranging from 55 - 99 years.

Depreciation on other property, plant and equipment is calculated on the original cost or subsequent valuation of the property, plant and equipment and is charged on a straight line basis at varying rates to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over the estimated useful life. The principal annual depreciation rates applied are as follows:-

BuildingsMotor vehiclesPlant and machineryOffice equipmentFurniture and fittingsRenovationTelecommunication equipmentComputers

Leased and Hired AssetsAssets acquired under finance leases and hire purchase arrangements which in substance transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of owner-ship of the assets to the Company are capitalised as property, plant and equipment. The property, plant and equipment and corresponding lease obligations are recorded at the lower of the net present value of minimum lease payments or the fair value of the lease assets at the beginning of the respective lease terms. Leases and hire assets which do not meet such criteria are classified as operating lease.

Finance charge of finance leases and hire purchase are charged to the income statement over the period of hire purchase or lease.

Rental payable under operating leases are accounted for in the income statement on a straight line basis over the periods of the respective leases.

InventoriesInventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises the cost of purchase plus the cost of bringing the inventories to its present condition.

Net realisable value is the estimate of the selling price in the ordinary course of business less the cost of completion and selling expenses.

Development PropertiesDevelopment 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.

ReceivablesReceivables are carried at their anticipated realisable values.

Income TaxIncome tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductable temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liabilty in a transac-tion which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or negative goodwill.

Cash and Cash EquivalentsFor the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at bank, deposits at call and short term highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Revenue RecognitionRevenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably.

(i)

(i i)

Foreign Currency TransactionForeign currency assets and liabilities are translated to Ringgit Malaysia at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and profit and loss items, where applicable, are converted at rates ruling on the transaction dates. Differences on exchange are taken to the income statement.

Foreign EntitiesFinancial statements of foreign consolidated subsidiaries are translated at year-end exchange rates with respect to the assets and liabilities, and at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions with respects to the income statement. All resulting translation differences are recog-nised in equity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2004

Dividend IncomeDividend 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.

Construction ContractContract revenue is recognised by reference to the stage of physical completion of the contract. Contract revenue and costs are recognised as revenue and expense in the income statement in the accounting period in which the work is performed. The contract revenue is matched with the contract costs incurred in reaching the stage of completion, resulting in the reporting of revenue, expenses and profit which can be attributed to the proportion of work completed. Profits expected to be realised on construction contracts are based on estimates of total revenue and costs at completion. These estimates are reviewed and revised periodically throughout the lives of the construction contracts

ImpairmentAt 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 indica-tions 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.

Financial InstrumentsFinancial instruments carried in the balance sheet include cash and bank balances, investments, inventories, receivables, payables, 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.

Construction ContractsConstruction work in progress which is stated at cost plus attributable profits less anticipated losses and progress bill ings is shown as amount due from customers.

The excess of progress bill ings over cost plus attributable profits less anticipated loses is shown as amount due to customers.

Costs consist of direct materials, direct labour, direct overhead, sub-contract charge and attributable expenses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2004

and adjustment to the profits resulting from such revisions are recorded in the accounting period in which the revisions are made. If estimates of costs to complete the construction contract indicate losses, provision is made for the full losses anticipated in the period in which they are identified.

Sale of GoodsRevenue on sales of goods is recognised upon the transfer of risks and rewards.

Interest Income / Rental Income / Management FeeInterest income, rental income and management fee are recognised on an accrual basis.

RevaluationCertain freehold and leasehold land and buildings of a subsidiary company were revalued by an independent professional valuer 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 :-

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2004

Basic earnings per shareBasic earnings per share of the Group has been computed by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year. For the purpose of this computation, the number of shares repurchased, if any, has been excluded from the weighted average number of shares in issue.

Fully diluted earnings per shareFully diluted earnings per shares is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for the effects of dilutive options, i.e. assuming the exercise of all options issued on the earliest date they became exercisable

As the diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2004 exceeds the basic earnings per share, the anti-dilutive effect is ignored.

GROUP

Credit RisksCredit risk, or the risk of counter parties defaulting, are controlled by the application of credit approval, limits and monitoring procedures. Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via Group management reporting procedures.

The Group does not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counter party nor does it have any major concentration of credit risk related to any financial instrument.

Interest Rate RisksThe Group is exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of rate changes on credit facilities. The Group manages its interest rate risk through the use of both fixed and floating rate debt and derivative financial instruments.

Liquidity RisksThe Group practices prudent liquidity risk management to minimise the mismatch of financial assets and liabilities and to maintain sufficient credit facilities for contingent funding requirement of working capital.

Exchange Rate RisksThe Group operates internationally and is exposed to Indian Rupee. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities together with expected cash flows from highly probable purchases and sales give rise to foreign exchange exposures.

Fair ValuesThe aggregate value of financial assets and financial liabilities which are not carried at fair value on the balance sheets of the Group and of the Company are represented as follows :-

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities are approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

No segmental reporting has been prepared in respect of geographical location as the Group's activities are predominantly carried out in Malaysia.

33. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The bank guarantees are secured by fixed deposits of a subsidiary company and a corporate guarantee by the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2004

36. MATERIAL LITIGATIONThe Group is involved in the following pending litigation matter :-

A writ fi led under Kuala Lumpur High Court Suite No: S2-22-98 by Trans Resources Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (TRC), a subsidiary of the Group against Sanwell Corporation ('Sanwell') and United Malayan Land Berhad ('UM Land') for an outstanding contract sum due and owing pursuant to an Earthworks Contract dated 30 October 1996 whereby TRC was engaged by Sanwell as the earthworks contractor. The payment for the work done was guaranteed by UM Land up to the sum of RM15,500,000.00. In light of the Federal Court decision on 25 May 2002 and also the subsequent direction given by the High Court Judge on 28 May 2002, the abovementioned Civil Suit cannot be proceeded with and the matters in dispute between TRC and Sanwell will now have to proceed by means of arbitration. However, UM Land has, since the Federal Court's decision, filed a motion to vary the Federal Court decision. Their argument, inter alia, is that UM Land should not be bound by the arbitration clause, as it was not a party to the Earthworks Contract. In December 2002, TRC had obtained from the High Court an order for the appointment of arbitrator ("the Order"). The Order was subsequently served on Sanwell but the latter did not respond to the Order. In May 2003, TRC filed an application to discharge the Order. On 2 April 2004, an order from the High Court to discharge the arbitration order was obtained. The case management was done in August 2004 and full trial has been fixed to be held in May/July 2005. The solicitors for TRC are of the view that TRC is likely to succeed in its claim against the defendants.
