2.6 Future Projects

The 2006 work plan is mostly a continuation of what the Company did in
2005 and very much in line with its master plan (2004-2007), details of
which are as follows.

-   Income-Increasing Project: The Company has a marketing plan to
    maintain its existing customers while expanding its customer base by
    offering a variety of quality goods and services to respond to
    customer’s demands and to make them happy. The Company pays
    attention to attempts to seek new business opportunities as required
    by the authorities to offer a comprehensive service. In 2006, United
    Securities Public Company Limited plans to apply for a derivative
    license and a securities lending license. It also plans to build a
    good marketing team, seek additional incomes for the securities
    brokerage business either from investment banking or debt instrument
    trading as well as from its business of being an investment unit
    sales agent. The firm also focuses in adding values into various
    services to its customers which can range from an advisory service
    to a development of new supporting services such as sending the
    latest information via SMS to customers, creating investment models
    to help monitoring customer’s portfolio status, distributing the
    Company’s analysis reports to a wider group of audience and issuing
    derivate analysis reports.

-   Information Technology Development Project: This mainly concerns
    customer’s database to ensure that our marketing officers can access
    the information in a timely manner. Others include attempts to
    increase communications channels with the customers, an upgrade of
    the trading information system so that this will be a backbone for
    the Company’s securities analysis, planning and handling of target
    customers, the development of new information service channels
    between staff and customers that are accurate, safe and fast from
    any place and at any time, and a new trading system that is
    efficient, reliable, fast and glitch-free, the updates of its
    security system not only to meet international standards but also to
    keep up with new technology as well as the introduction of a new
    IT-based system that can accommodate new instruments in the future.

-   Working System Development Project: This refers to the data
    management system, starting from keeping data systematically to
    using the data for analysis and communications purposes. Others
    include developing the trading system and the information service,
    offering analysis reports via the internet and ensuring that all
    systems are up and ready for new transactions.

-   Human Resources Development Project: This is to increase staff’s
    capability and ensure that they are ready to handle new transactions
    to be seen in the future, which will be done through constant
    trainings and encouraging the Company to become a learning
    organization.

-   Risk Management Development Project: This refers to internal
    auditing and good governance. The Company will do business subject
    to an acceptable level of risk only where it strives to provide an
    efficient risk management system, which is considered part of the
    corporate good governance. Its result is expected to add values to
    the organization for a long-term growth.
