6. RATIONALE OF THE PROPOSED JOINT VENTURE AND PROSPECTS
The JV Development is in line with the Tambun Indah Group’s plan to expand its property development activities particularly in Penang. It represents a strategic investment by the Company and is expected to contribute positively to the earnings as well as shareholders’ value of the Group in the medium to long term. The JV Development also represents a low entry opportunity for Tambun Indah Group in terms of upfront cash outlay, to develop a piece of prime property in Butterworth.
The JV Land is within the mature and popular Butterworth town and offers a high potential development in light of its strategic location with the federal roads and other infrastructure in place. The location is easily accessible to Raja Uda Light Industrial Park, Mak Mandin Industrial Park, Butterworth – Kulim Expressway and North-South Expressway.
The JV land is also within walking distance to our successful completed project, namely Palm Villas and Seri Palma.
The population of mainland Penang is growing, partly due to migration from Penang Island because property prices are relatively cheaper in mainland Penang as compared to Penang Island and also influx of Foreign Direct Investment in industrial area in mainland Penang which create job opportunities. It is therefore expected that there will be an increase in the demand of houses in mainland Penang.
7. RISK FACTORS
There is no assurance that the anticipated benefits of the JV Development will be realised, or the ability to generate sufficient profits from the future development on the JV Land to offset the associated costs incurred for the joint venture. However, the Group will seek to mitigate the risks by adopting prudent investment strategies and conducting feasibility assessment and review on the development project on the JV Land to be constructed. The Group also seek to mitigate these risk in structuring the terms and condition of the Joint Venture Agreement as duly advised by our solicitor.
Below are the main risk factors relating to the JV Development, which may not be exhaustive:-
7.1 Joint Venture Risk

7.2 Business Risk
The Group is subject to the inherent risks existing in the property development industry. These include supply of materials, equipment and labour, changes in raw material prices, changes in general economic business and credit conditions, timely completion of development projects, appropriate pricing of development properties that will earn the Group the required return, the cost of financing, and risks of purchaser default.
Although the Group seeks to mitigate these risks, there can be no assurance that any change to these factors would not have a material impact on the JV Development.

Like all other business entities, any adverse developments in the political, economic environment and any uncertainties in Malaysia, could materially affect the financial performance and business of the Group.
