Changes in laws or government policy could adversely affect TMG’s business or properties.The State has taken steps designed to liberalise the mortgage system and TMG has factored its expectations of theimpact of this liberalisation into its business model. The manner in which the State implements the new mortgagelaws may prove to be less favourable than that expected by TMG, which could result in the expected positive impacton TMG’s business not being realised.In addition, the State may attach further development conditions to preliminary sale contracts it may award in thefuture. For example, certain jurisdictions condition development authorisation on such things as the developeragreeing to allocate a certain portion of the land to be developed for low-income housing. The imposition of anysuch conditions may affect TMG’s development model, which could impact the sales and marketing of itsresidential units and the number and types of units developed and sold, which in turn may impact its revenues andresults of operations.Various other laws and regulations, including those relating to fire and safety requirements, building codes,environmental regulations, land use restrictions and taxes affect TMG’s properties. If TMG’s properties do notcomply with these requirements, it may incur governmental fines or private damage awards. New or amended laws,rules, regulations or ordinances could require significant unanticipated expenditures or impose restrictions on thedevelopment, construction, sale or lease of properties. Such laws, rules, regulations or ordinances may alsoadversely affect TMG’s ability to operate, sell or lease properties.TMG’s international expansion strategy may present unforeseen challenges.TMG has entered into a joint venture with partners in Saudi Arabia to develop new city and community complexes inRiyadh and Jeddah. See “Description of TMG — Description of Properties and Projects — City and CommunityComplexes — Current Projects — Saudi Joint Venture”. Although TMG has had a sales presence in Saudi Arabiasince 1991, TMG has no development or operating experience in the Saudi market or other markets outside of Egypt.Expansion into Saudi Arabia or other markets internationally may present operating or other challenges that aredifferent from those TMG currently encounters in Egypt. TMG will attempt to minimise this risk by collaborating withlocal partners familiar with the risks in the non-Egyptian markets and the workings of property development in thosemarkets, and intends to use local contractors and construction companies for its new non-Egyptian developments forthe same reasons. However, TMG may not always exercise control over its international joint ventures and its localpartners may have interests and objectives that differ from those of TMG. Moreover, there can be no assurance thatTMG will be able to anticipate or respond to the challenges of developing large-scale complexes in unfamiliar marketsoutside of Egypt, which could have an adverse effect on TMG’s projects in such markets and on TMG’s business,financial condition and results of operations as a whole.TMG’s rental revenues will depend upon the financial stability of its tenants.TMG develops large-scale city and community and hotel and resort complexes, most of which include commercialand/or retail space leased to tenants. The financial stability of these tenants may change over time, which may affectthe financial performance of these properties. Tenant defaults could result in a reduction in rental revenues, whichcould require TMG to contribute additional capital or obtain alternative financing. In addition, TMG may incurcosts in enforcing rights under the lease with a defaulting tenant, including eviction and re-leasing costs. Anydowngrading of tenants’ credit ratings or adverse change in their financial condition may negatively affect the valueof property in which such tenants lease space and the cash flows generated by them. Further, if TMG’s tenantsdecide not to renew their leases upon expiration, TMG may not be able to re-let their space on terms as favourable asthose contained in the current leases, if at all. If tenants do not renew their leases, TMG may need to expendsignificant time and money to attract replacement tenants. In addition, in connection with any renewal or re-letting,TMG may incur costs to renovate or remodel the space. As a result of these factors, TMG’s cash flow may bereduced.The real estate book values and appraisals included in this offering circular may not accurately reflect themarket value of TMG’s properties.The use of different valuation methodologies and assumptions would likely produce different valuation results.CBRE, an independent real estate appraiser, has valued certain of TMG’s real estate properties and projects. Detailsof the valuation methodologies used and the assumptions made by CBRE are described in “Annex A: CBREReport”. A number of factors could result in the values that CBRE has ascribed to these properties and projectsdiffering materially from the actual market value of such projects.13
