The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements  5    UNICO, INCORPORATED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements November 30, 2007  NOTE  1  NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES  This summary of significant accounting policies of Unico, Incorporated is presented to assist in understanding the Company's consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.  a. Organization and Business Activities  Unico, Incorporated was formed as an Arizona corporation on May 27, 1966 under the name of Red Rock Mining Co., Incorporated. It was later known as Industries International, Incorporated and I.I. Incorporated before the name was eventually changed to Unico, Incorporated in 1979.  On July 12, 2004, Unico filed an election with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to become a business development company pursuant to Section 54 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Unico's Deer Trail Mine operations are conducted through Deer Trail Mining Company, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company while Unico's Bromide Basin Mine operations are conducted through Bromide Basin Mining Company, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Unico also owns Silver Bell Mining Company, Inc., which is not presently operational.  On October 11, 2005, the Unico shareholders approved a proposal to authorize the Companys Board of Directors to withdraw the Companys election to be treated as a BDC.  On October 12, 2005 a Notification of Withdrawal of BDC Election was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission so that Unico could begin conducting business as an operating company rather than as a BDC subject to the Investment Company Act.  The Company presently has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Deer Trail Mining Company, LLC, Silver Bell Mining Company, Inc., and Bromide Basin Mining Company, LLC.  While the Company reported under the Investment Company Act as a Business Development Company, the operations of these entities were not consolidated but, rather, were treated as investments and were carried on the Companys books at their fair market value.  As a result of the Companys withdrawal as a BDC, the equity method of accounting is now appropriate.  As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are those of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Deer Trail Mining Company, LLC, Silver Bell Mining Company, Inc. and Bromide Basin Mining Company, LLC.  b. Fixed Assets  The Companys property consists of mining equipment, vehicles, office furniture and computer equipment.  The property is depreciated in a straight-line basis over three, five, and ten years.  Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Major additions and improvement are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of equipment retired or sold are removed from the accounts and any differences between the undepreciated amount and the proceeds from the sale are recorded as gain or loss on sale of assets.  Fixed Asset ScheduleNovember 30, 2007Fixed Assets:Furniture & Equipment$1,157,963Land200,000Patented mining claims640,000Mining Claim2,360,000Autos65,814Total4,423,777Less Depreciation(853,175)Net Equipment$3,570,602    6      The Company exercised its option to purchase the claims covered by the Deer Trail lease and paid the balance of $1,700,000 that was owed on the purchase option agreement in the quarter ended August 31, 2007.    A total of $4,000,000 was paid to purchase the Deer Trail Claim over a period of approximately three years.  The initial $1,000,000 that was paid towards the lease purchase was expensed in the 2004 fiscal year based on the fact that the Company did not have independent third party verification of the mineable assets at the time.  As a result, only $3,000,000 of the total acquisition of $4,000,000 is being capitalized.  The purchase of the Deer Trail mines claims is comprised of 32 patented mining claims and 170 unpatented mining claims.  The patented claims comprise 16% of the total claims purchased.  As a result, $640,000 ($4,000,000 x 16% = $640,000) will be treated as a purchase of land based on the fact that patented claims give the Company title to the use of the land.  The balance of the capitalized amount of $2,360,000 is for the unpatented claims and is subject to be amortized over the life of the mineable assets.  The mineable assets are in the process of being verified by an independent third party which will establish the bases for future cost amortization.  c. Accounting for Derivatives  Convertible debentures, the Companys sole derivative instruments, are accounted for under EITF 00-27 unless liability classification of the derivative is more appropriate.  Where the embedded conversion option appears to qualify for liability classification, derivatives are accounted for under EITF 00-19.  Under EITF 00-27, the Company records a beneficial conversion cost associated with the convertibility feature of the security that equals the value of any discount to market available at the time of conversion.  This beneficial conversion cost is recorded at the time the convertible security is first issued.  If the debenture is subsequently converted into stock, the liability is reduced and common stock is increased.  EITF 00-19 is applicable to debentures issued by the Company in instances where the number of shares into which a debenture can be converted is not fixed.  For example, when a debenture converts at a discount to market based on the stock price on the date of conversion.  In such instances, EITF 00-19 requires that the embedded conversion option of the convertible debentures be bifurcated from the host contract and recorded at their fair value.   In accounting for derivatives under EITF 00-19, the Company records a liability representing the estimated present value of the conversion feature considering the historic volatility of the Companys stock and a discount representing the imputed interest associated with the beneficial conversion feature.  The discount is then amortized over the life of the debentures and the derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to stock price fluctuations.  At the time of conversion, any remaining derivative liability is charged to additional paid-in capital.  For purposes of determining derivative liability, the Company uses Black-Scholes modeling for computing historic volatility.  d. Accounting Method  The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a February 28th year-end.   With the Companys withdrawal as a BDC, the Company now reports the operations of itself and its subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting, resulting in the consolidation of all assets and operations of wholly-owned subsidiaries.  NOTE  2  RELATED PARTY DEBENTURES  The Company previously issued convertible debentures of $645,132 to Ray Brown, a member of the board of directors.  These debentures bear interest at 10% per annum and were due September 2005, and December 25, 2004, respectively. The debentures are convertible into common stock of the Company at a discount of 20% off the closing bid price of the common stock on the date of conversion. The Company has recorded an accrued interest payable of $36,347 for the related party convertible debentures as of November 30, 2007.  During the quarter ended November 30, 2007, the Company paid $11,207 of interest in cash, leaving a balance due as of November 30, 2007 to Mr. Brown of $449,514.  In addition, in a past period, Ray Brown assigned   $114,466 of his loan to Joseph Lopez, father of the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Mark Lopez, as satisfaction on a personal loan.   The Company therefore owes a total of $563,980 in related party debentures.     7     NOTE  3  CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES  During the quarter ended November 30, 2007, the Company issued $725,000 of convertible debentures that were used primarily to support subsidiary operations.  The debentures were issued with terms of 180 days, accrued interest at 8% per annum, and convert at a discount of 50% of the closing bid for the Companys common stock on the date of conversion.  The Company recorded interest expense of $1,737,742 during the quarter ended November 30, 2007 associated with the debentures and recorded a loss of $844,553 on the derivative portion of the debentures.  The net derivative liability at November 30, 2007 was $7,336,529.   As of November 30, 2007, the Company had $5,005,100 in non-affiliate convertible debentures issued and outstanding less discounts of $742,417.  The Company did not enter into any agreements to settle or convert any of its common stock for debt during the quarter ended November 30, 2007.  NOTE  4 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY  Common Stock As of November 30, 2007, the Company had 4,815,363,072 shares of common stock issued and outstanding with 184,636,928 shares authorized but unissued.    During the quarter ended November 30, 2007 the Company did not enter into any agreement to issue any shares of common stock.  Stock Options  During the year ended February 28, 2007, all stock options expired unexercised.  As of November 30, 2007, there were no stock options outstanding.  Preferred Stock  As of November 30, 2007, the Company had 9,800,000 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, all of which is Series A preferred stock. The Series A Preferred Stock entitle the holder to elect two of the Companys directors and is convertible into shares of common stock on a 1:1 basis.  Stock Payable  During the year ended February 28, 2007, the Company sold a total of 76,119,033 shares of restricted common stock to a third party for total consideration of $999,000.  As of November 30, 2007, these shares had not been issued, resulting in a stock payable of $999,000.  Convertible Debentures  The Company has $5,005,100 of convertible debentures outstanding that are convertible at a rate of 50% discount of the closing bid for the Companys common stock on the date of conversion, and it has $563,980 of convertible debentures outstanding that are convertible at a rate of 20% discount of the closing bid for the Companys common stock on the date of conversion.  NOTE 5  LEGAL MATTERS  During the year ended February 28, 2007, the Company entered into a total of 108 settlement transactions in the Twelfth Circuit (State) Court in Florida stemming from defaulted convertible debentures totaling $2,740,000.  Unico agreed to settle each action by issuing a total of 986,744,018 shares of its common stock to the plaintiffs. These shares were issued pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, after a hearing with notice to, and an opportunity to be heard from, interested parties, as to the fairness of each transaction, by a state court in Florida which specifically determined, prior to declaring that the transactions were exempt under Section 3(a)(10), that the transactions were fair to the interested parties.   8   During the quarter ended May 31, 2007 the Company issued 901,315,790 shares of free trading common stock under court ordered settlement agreements as satisfaction of convertible debentures totaling $550,000 which were in default.  During the quarter ended August 31, 2007 the Company issued 2,900,000,000 shares of free trading common stock under court ordered settlement agreements as satisfaction of convertible debentures totaling $450,000 which were in default.  And during the quarter ended November 30, 2007 the Company did not issue any shares under court ordered settlement.  These shares were issued pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, after a hearing with notice to, and an opportunity to be heard from, interested parties, as to the fairness of each transaction, by a state court in Florida which specifically determined, prior to declaring that the transactions were exempt under Section 3(a)(10), that the transactions were fair to the interested parties.   As a result of this settlement, the Company recorded an expense of $4,201,316 for the quarter ended May 31, 2007, $3,795,868 for the quarter ended August 31, 2007 and $0.00 for the quarter ended November 30, 2007 which represented the difference in market value of the stock issued compared with the value of the stock which would have been issuable under the conversion terms.  The Company scheduled a special meeting of its shareholders on December 21, 2007 at which shareholders were to vote on a proposal to amend the Companys articles of incorporation to authorize the Companys board of directors, in its discretion, to effect a reverse stock split of the Companys common stock at a ratio of up to one-for-five hundred during the six month period following the date of a special meeting of shareholders.  On December 17, 2007, plaintiff Legacy Trading Group (Legacy), a California limited liability company, filed an action against Unico alleging violation of Section 14(a) and (c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder, and Arizona Revised Statute § 19-705.  The action was filed in the United States District Court, Southern Division of California (Civil No. 07CV 2344-L (RBB)).  Legacy filed an ex parte application for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), contending that notice of the special meeting of Unicos shareholders and/or the related proxy statement was not provided to all shareholders.  At a hearing held on December 18, 2007, the Court granted the application for a TRO, and enjoined and restrained Unico from holding the special meeting of the shareholders on December 21, 2007 or at any other time until the preliminary injunction hearing in this matter is heard.  The preliminary injunction hearing was held on January 8, 2008.  Plaintiffs application for a preliminary injunction was denied at the hearing on the grounds of being moot.  Unico believes notice of the special meeting of Unicos shareholders and the related proxy statement for the December 21, 2007 special meeting were sent to all shareholders entitled to receive such pursuant to applicable federal proxy rules and the Arizona Revised Statutes.  However, since the TRO prevented the Company from holding the special meeting of shareholders on December 21, 2007, the Company has rescheduled the special meeting of shareholders until January 28, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.  The Company has mailed the Proxy Statement and related materials to all shareholders entitled to receive such materials.  NOTE  6  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS  Subsequent to the quarter ending November 30, 2007, the Company received $199,854 through the issuance of new convertible debentures.  The new debentures were issued with terms of 180 days, bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, and are convertible by the holder into shares of the Companys common stock at a discount of 50% of the closing bid price on the date of conversion.  NOTE  7  GOING CONCERN  The Companys financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred losses of $59,103,973 from its inception through November 30, 2007.   It has not established any revenues with which to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern.  During the next 12 months, the Companys plan of operation is to raise approximately $3,500,000 for investment into its subsidiary companies: Deer Trail Mining Company, Bromide Basin Mining Company and Silver Bell Mining Company.  The funds are intended for the following purposes during the next twelve months:  § Complete analytical certification by independent lab, ALS Chemex, and final reporting from consulting firm, Behre Dolbear & Company (USA), on the logging and shipment of core samples identified and taken from the completed 2nd phase of exploratory drilling at the Deer Trail Mine; § Continue sampling and analyzing mineralized rock samples, stockpiles and dump material from the Deer Trail Mine to evaluate the most efficient means to conduct future mining and milling activities; § Expand metallurgical research department at the Deer Trail Mine and Mill Facility; § Purchase additional lab equipment for metallurgical purposes; § Upgrade mine infrastructure and begin underground mining activities including maintenance and rehabilitation work at the Deer Trail Mine;  9   § Continue to upgrade and complete the re-construction project on the existing mill at the Deer Trail Mine; § Upgrade the crushing facility at the upper Deer Trail Mine and continue screening the ore dumps; § Begin milling and processing activities at the Deer Trail Mill and Processing Facility; § Acquire new mining equipment to improve operations at the Deer Trail Mine; § Conduct an extensive preproduction feasibility study at the Bromide Basin Mine prior to any additional mining production and analyze the potential of the claims before exercising the purchase option from Kaibab Industries; § Exercise the purchase option on the Bromide Basin Mine lease; § Conduct additional survey and mapping work on the Clyde and Crown Point mining claims including improvements to the property and potentially underground and surface exploratory drilling on the claims; and § Commence a feasibility study on the potential of the mining claims at the Silver Bell Mine beginning in the Summer of 2008.  Accomplishing the 12-month plan of operations is dependent on: (a) the Company raising approximately $3,500,000 in equity and/or debt financing during the next 12 months to be used for the Companys operations, of which approximately $1,500,000 is needed in the next 90 days; and (b)  the Company obtaining shareholder approval to amend its articles of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares so that the Company will have sufficient authorized, but unissued, shares of its common stock available to provide for the conversion of the Companys existing $5,769,080 of convertible debentures into shares of the Companys common stock.  If such stockholder approval is not obtained, the Companys cash needs for the next 12 months will increase by at least $5,769,080 to be able to pay the existing debentures in full.  The majority of funds raised by the Company during 2007 have been raised from the Companys issuance of convertible debentures.  The  debentures were issued with terms of 180 days, bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, and are convertible by the holder into shares of the Companys common stock at a discount of 50% of the closing bid price on the date of conversion.  The Companys ability to continue to raise funds on these terms may be dependent on the Company obtaining shareholder approval to amend its articles of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares.  The Company needs to have a sufficient number of authorized, but unissued, shares of its common stock available to provide for the conversion of existing convertible debentures into shares of the Companys common stock as well as for the conversion of convertible debentures proposed to be issued for fundraising purposes in the future.   10   Item  2.

ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS FORM 10-QSB REFLECT MANAGEMENT'S BEST JUDGMENT BASED ON FACTORS CURRENTLY KNOWN AND INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY VARY MATERIALLY.  General Information Regarding Unico and its Operations.  Unico, Incorporated (the Company, Unico or UNCN) an Arizona corporation, was formed as an Arizona corporation on May 27, 1966. It was incorporated under the name of Red Rock Mining Co., Incorporated. It was later known as Industries International, Incorporated and I.I. Incorporated before the name was eventually changed to Unico, Incorporated in 1979.  On July 12, 2004, Unico filed an election with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to become a business development company (BDC) pursuant to Section 54 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.   On August 1, 2005, the Board of Directors unanimously approved a proposal to withdraw the Companys election to be treated as a business development company as soon as practicable so that Unico could begin conducting business as an operating company rather than as a business development company subject to the Investment Company Act.  On October 11, 2005, a Special Meeting of the Unico shareholders was held to consider and vote upon a proposal to authorize the Companys Board of Directors to withdraw the Companys election to be treated as a BDC and the proposal was approved.  On October 12, 2005 a Notification of Withdrawal was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission so that Unico could begin conducting business as an operating company rather than as a BDC subject to the Investment Company Act.  The mining operations at the Deer Trail Mine have been conducted through Unico's subsidiary, Deer Trail Mining Company, LLC (Deer Trail Mining Company or DTMC) since soon after DTMC was formed in late June, 2004. The mining operations at the Bromide Basin Mines have been conducted through Unico's subsidiary, Bromide Basin Mining Company, LLC (Bromide Basin Mining Company or "BBMC") since soon after BBMC was formed in late June, 2004. Future mining operations at the Silver Bell Mine will be conducted through Unico's subsidiary, Silver Bell Mining Company, Inc. ("SBMC").  Deer Trail Mining Company, LLC  On March 30, 1992, Unico, Incorporated entered into a Mining Lease and Option to Purchase agreement with Deer Trail Development Corporation, with headquarters in Dallas, Texas. Deer Trail Development Corporation is now known as Crown Mines, L.L.C. The lease was to run for a period of 10 years, and cover 32 patented claims (including mill sites) and 170 unpatented claims located approximately 5 miles South of Marysvale, Utah. It includes mine workings known as the Deer Trail Mine, the PTH Tunnel and the Carisa and Lucky Boy mines. There are no known, proven or probable reserves on the property.  Effective December 1, 2001, a new lease agreement was entered into between the parties (Deer Trail Lease) covering the same property for a period of thirty (30) months. It was subsequently extended through a series of amendments.  In July 2007, Deer Trail Mining Company completed the purchase of the claims covered by the Deer Trail Lease.  A total of $4,000,000 was paid to purchase the property over a period of approximately three years.  The purchase of the claims also included the purchase of a fifty percent (50%) interest in Water Right No. 63-37, said fifty percent (50%) portion including a maximum flow of 0.125 cubic feet of water per second and a maximum annual diversion of 90.5 acre feet of water from Three Mile Spring for year-round mining purposes.  The purchase of the claims also included a fifty percent (50%) interest in a contractual right to use water diverted under Water Right No. 63-3043 as evidenced and described in the Agreement between Cottonwood Irrigation Company and Deer Trail Development Corporation dated July 28, 1977.  The fifty percent (50%) interest in the contractual water right allows Deer Trail Mining Company to truck not more than 2,500 gallons of water per week from the Cottonwood Creek to the Deer Trail Mine for mining activities during the irrigation season (April 15 to October 15), and possibly more during the remaining portion of each year.  11    Deer Trail Mining Company also obtained a lease from Crown Mines, L.L.C. of the remaining fifty percent (50%) interest in Water Right No. 63-37 and the remaining 50% interest in the contractual water right (Water Right 63-3043.  The lease is for an initial term of 5 years for no rent.  The lease may be terminated by Crown Mines, L.L.C. upon 12 months written notice if Crown Mines determines that the water rights covered by the lease are necessary for the operation and development of any of Crown Mines mining claims or for other permitted uses.  The lease may be extended if Crown Mines determines that the water rights covered by the lease are not required for the operation and development of any of Crown Mines mining claims or for other permitted uses during the extension period, provided that the parties can agree on other terms including a price or rent for the extended term.  Crown Mines, L.L.C. retained a perpetual royalty interest on minerals taken from the claims purchased by Deer Trail Mining Company.  The perpetual royalty is three percent (3.0%) of net smelter returns on minerals other than gold.  The royalty rate for gold is three percent (3.0%) when the price of gold is less than or equal to $500 per troy ounce, four percent (4.0%) when the price of gold is more than $500 and less than or equal to $600 per troy ounce, and five percent (5.0%) when the price of gold is greater than $600 per troy ounce.  Crown Mines, L.L.C. also retained an undivided three percent (3.0%) interest in any oil and gas and associated hydrocarbons produced from the claims.  Crown Mines, L.L.C. also retained an access easement and a water line pipeline easement across the claims sold to Deer Trail Mining Company.  Deer Trail Mining Company has agreed to provide Crown Mines, L.L.C. with information obtained as a result of Deer Trail Mining Companys exploration activities on the claims, and Deer Trail Mining Company granted to Crown Mines, L.L.C. a right of first refusal to repurchase the claims or any portion thereof.  In August 2006, Deer Trail Mining Company entered into a Mining Lease with Joel Johnson covering the Clyde, Clyde Intermediate and Crown Point claims.  These claims are located near the Deer Trail Mine.  Deer Trail Mining Company has leased the claims for the purpose of conducting mine exploration, evaluation, and possible mining activities on the claims.  The Mining Lease is for two years, with options to extend the lease for 50 additional one year periods.  Under the terms of the Mining Lease, Deer Trail Mining Company paid initial down payments totaling $31,000 with $4,000 due in the second year of the lease.  If Deer Trail Mining Company elects to extend the lease, it must pay $3,000 for the first extension year, and the annual lease extension payment increases ten percent (10%) per year thereafter.  Additionally, Deer Trail Mining Company will pay three percent (3%) of the gross sale proceeds from the sale of any ore concentrates, or other mineral resources extracted from the claims.  In September 2006, Deer Trail Mining Company entered into a Non-Patented Mining Claims Lease covering approximately 70 additional claims covering approximately 1,500 acres in Piute County Utah for the purpose of exploration, evaluation and mining activities.  In consideration for the rights under the agreement, the Deer Trail Mining Company agreed to pay the lease holders $7,000 per year for each of the first three years.  Deer Trail Mining Company has the right to extend the lease for 50 additional one year periods.  If extended by Deer Trail Mining Company, the annual lease payment is $10,000 in each of years four and five, and thereafter the annual lease payment increases by ten percent (10%) per year.  In addition to the annual lease payments, Deer Trail Mining Company has also agreed to pay an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the gross sales proceeds from all ore, concentrates, and all other productions of mineral resources extracted from the claims.  The agreement contains an option to purchase the claims exercisable at $350,000 during the five first years of the lease.  The exercise price increases $50,000 per year thereafter.  It may only be exercised while the lease is effective.  Following the formation of the Deer Trail Mining Company in June 2004, Unico assigned all of the various assets, liabilities and operations associated with the Deer Trail Mine to Deer Trail Mining Company which assumed responsibility for making payments under the Deer Trail Lease.  Since June 2004 Deer Trail Mining Company has assumed operations, ownership and management control of the Deer Trail Mine.  Deer Trail Mining Company presently has 14 full time employees, 1 part time employee and 4 consultants.  The necessary permits to commence mining activities at the Deer Trail Mine have been acquired, provided that the surface disturbance from the mining activities does not exceed 10 acres for both mine and mill. In early 2005, Unico and Deer Trail Mining Company, received approval of the company's Large-Scale Mining Permit for the Deer Trail Mine in Marysvale, Utah. The State of Utah's Division of Oil, Gas and Mining granted approval of the company's application to expand its existing small mining project to a large mining operation, which is expected to significantly increase the area of mining activity and the capacity of the company's mill at the Deer Trail Mine. This Large-Scale permit takes the place of the previous two Small-Scale permits described above.  In 2004, Unico filed to obtain a construction permit with the State of Utah Department of Environmental Quality (both the Utah Division of Air Quality and the Utah Division of Water Quality) for the Deer Trail Mine tailings impoundment pond no. 2.  12    Prior to June 2004, Unico worked to reopen the Deer Trail Mine.  Unico commenced limited mining activities in late March 2001 on the Deer Trail Mine.  There were between 2 and 5 miners at various times working full time in the Deer Trail Mine both on mine development work and production work until approximately October 2003.  Their efforts were concentrated in the 3400 Area of the mine, from which they removed approximately 1,000 tons of ore per month.  The ore was stock-piled and some of it has been crushed.  Some of the employees have worked on mine maintenance.  Unico completed a mill on site at the Deer Trail Mine. In November 2001, Unico began milling activities. Shortly thereafter, operations were suspended to accommodate a plan to reconstruct the entire facility. Currently the Deer Trail Mining Company is reconstructing the mill and processing facility to enhance both productivity and efficiency. The reconstruction project is now in its final stages of completion.  In July 2006, Deer Trail Mining Company completed the upgrades to the screening plant and began screening the ore dumps at the upper Deer Trail Mine. Once screened, the material is moved to the mill facility and stockpiled for further processing. The Company anticipates running this material through its mill once reconstruction is complete.  On August 31, 2005, Deer Trail Mining Company entered into a five-year purchase contract with PGM, LLC of Los Angeles under which PGM will purchase precious metal bearing concentrates from the Deer Trail processing center.  Most sales will not occur until the mill processing center is complete at the Deer Trail Mine.  PGM has advanced Deer Trail Mining Company $25,000 for an initial shipment of concentrates that will be produced on a pilot plant basis.  The Company also believes that there are a variety of mining companies and other mineral companies that are potential purchasers for the lead concentrates, zinc concentrates and other concentrates which we intend to sell as the end product from our Deer Trail Mine mining and milling operations. The concentrates can be transported by either rail or truck, and there are a variety of trucking companies that are willing and able to transport concentrates to smelters or other places designated by purchasers.  In September 2004, Deer Trail Mining Company completed its first phase of exploratory drilling at the Deer Trail Mine.  The Deer Trail Mining Company contracted Lang Exploratory Drilling to complete the phase of drilling.  Lang completed a total of 3,653 feet of reverse circulation drilling and finished 28 drill holes at specified targets located on the Upper Deer Trail Mine.  741 samples were safeguarded by Lang Exploratory Drilling during this phase and shipped to ALS Chemex at its Elko, Nevada facility for independent lab verification and analysis.  The first phase of exploration drilling was designed to identify near surface deposits, determine potential resources and define limits of mineralization south of the main ore channel mined at the Upper Deer Trail Mine. Historical data of the workings was sufficient to delineate the grade of mineralization remaining in the stopes, but no data was available to delineate the grade of mineralization outside the workings or how far that mineralization flowed into the surrounding formations. The initial phase of reverse circulation drilling serves as an adequate means to define the limits of mineralization south of the main ore channel, which is situated in the lower Toroweap formation, along the crest and down the northeast limb of the Deer Trail anticline.  This phase of drilling was accomplished with lower cost reverse circulation drill holes in order to establish the presence of mineralization at the Upper Deer Trail area. Once the limits of mineralization are established, work can begin to further define those zones by diamond core drilling. This initial phase of drilling is considered merely a starting point in generating data for pre-feasibility and feasibility studies for the Deer Trail Mine operations.  The most upper holes RC-1 through RC-7 were placed well above the elevation of the known workings of the No. 2 Tunnel and slightly south of the northwesterly trending ore channel. Significant mineralization was intercepted in holes RC-1 and RC-2, which were drilled in the area closest to the main ore channel.  Drill holes RC-5, 6, 8, 9, 13 and 14 were all drilled well south of the historically delineated mineralization, and on the southern most up-side of a post mineral fault. It can be concluded that mineralization intercepted in these holes is not directly related to the mineralization of the main Upper Deer Trail ore channel.    13    HoleInterval

This 2nd phase of exploratory drilling inside the PTH Tunnel of the Deer Trail Mine has been completed. The Phase II underground diamond core drilling program was primarily designed to target known horizons of mineralization and identify new mineralized horizons throughout the main ore channel of the Deer Trail Mine. The Company completed 7,235 feet of diamond core drilling and finished 13 underground drill holes.  According to preliminary reports by the Companys geologist, all of the holes drilled were reported to intersect mineralization within their designated targets. That report states that a total of approximately 514 feet of mineralization was intersected and consisted mostly of sulfide minerals (e.g. tetrahedrite, galena, pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite). Other intercepts were encountered through oxidized mineral not reported in this total, as well as zones of subtly altered rock that may contain high mineral values and offer significant potential. The Company is now working on final independent core logging and splitting verification, and plans to ship its core samples to an independent lab for analysis.  In March 2006, Deer Trail Mining Company, LLC entered into an agreement with Behre Dolbear and Company (USA), Inc. to conduct geological services and consulting at Unicos Deer Trail Mine in Marysvale, Utah. The focus of Behre Dolbears work is related to the underground diamond core drilling program undertaken at the Deer Trail Mine in 2005.  14   Behre Dolbear is currently performing the geological core logging and spitting verification on the samples and overseeing the shipment of those samples to ALS Chemex for analysis. Behre Dolbear has also been contracted to report on the mineralization and provide additional technical advice on the project as desired by Deer Trail Mining Company, LLC.  Behre Dolbear and Company (USA) has issued the following information from the Interim Summary Report on their work completed thus far. The report from Behre Dolbear states:  Unico, Incorporated drilled 7,235 feet of BQ diameter core at various inclinations and azimuths from four drill stations in the Patrick Thomas Henry (PTH) adit at the Deer Trail Mine from December 2004 to April 2005.  At that time, the core was not logged in detail and no analyses were done.  Table 1 summarizes the drilling statistics.  The station locations are defined based on the approximate footage from the PTH adit portal.  Table 1 Unico Phase II Drill Holes  UDDH Drill

(Behre Dolbear) contracted with Unico in March 2006 to geologically log the core, select intervals for analyses and assays, supervise the sawing of the selected intervals, submit those samples to a laboratory for analyses, opine on the mineralization  observed, and provide technical advice to Unico.  Between March 23, 2006 and October 6, 2006, Behre Dolbear logged in detail 4,429 feet of core from the eight holes indicated in Table1. A total of 550 samples totaling 611 feet of core containing trace to significant mineralization from six of the holes (UDDH 1, 5, 9, 11, 12, and 13) has been selected, sawed, submitted for analyses and assays, and the results received and evaluated.  Analyses are pending from 228 samples from 385 feet of core in UDDH 3. UDDH 4 has been logged, but sample intervals have not been selected.  ALS Chemex (Chemex) did the analyses and assays at its laboratory in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Sample preparation, analyses, and assays were done as requested by Behre Dolbear using Chemexs standard protocols.  Gold was determined by fire assay with an atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) finish. All samples were also analyzed for a 34-element suite of major and potentially significant trace elements using an aqua regia digestion and an emission spectrographic scan.  Chemexs quality control-quality assurance system complies with the requirements of the international standards ISO 90001:2000 and ISO17025:1999.  The Pennsylvanian Callville Limestone is the host of the mineralization in the holes logged by Behre Dolbear at the Deer Trail Mine. Behre Dolbear has logged over 4,400 feet of core that traverses the various lithologies of the upper +700 feet of that formation.  This detailed logging has resulted in the recognition of ten previously unrecognized informal members and/or other subdivisions that will enable future work to place the mineralized horizons in the vicinity of the mine into stratigraphic perspective.  The mineralization in the Callville Limestone typically consists of stratabound narrow conformable bands of semi-massive to massive sulfides separated by relatively long intervals of weakly mineralized to barren rock.   Ore minerals include sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and tetrahedrite-tennantite.  Where the significantly mineralized zones are thicker, the mineralized bands are closer together.  15    Based on the analytical results received to date, Behre Dolbear combined 33 continuous assay intervals from six holes into gross assay intervals ranging from 2.3 feet to 95 feet in length, uncorrected to true stratigraphic width.  Intervals within the gross intervals were combined into 113 detailed intervals based on their grades.  The best intervals based on thickness and grades in multiple metals in the six holes from which analyses have been received are listed in Table 2.  Table 2 shows that significant mineralization in most of the holes is confined to relatively narrow intervals ranging from 1.0 feet to 10.6 feet.  The thickest intercept with significant mineralization is in UDDH 12 at 55.2 feet.  The intervals are uncorrected for the true widths of the intercepts and will all be thinner than stated, some possibly as much as fifty percent thinner.  Overall, silver contributes the most value of the metals in Table 2 with zinc second and gold, copper, and lead contributing subordinate values.  In some of the intervals, the silver and gold are high but the base metals are low.  Copper contributes more value than zinc in some of these intervals.  Only one of the intervals (UDDH 11 at 105.0 to 110.6 feet) has high values in all of the metals.  The highest gold and silver values are in UDDH 1 (5.273 ppm Au=0.167oz/t Au; 366.9 ppm Ag= 10.71 oz/t Ag), and UDDH 11 (4.564 ppm Au= 0.133 oz/t Au; 585.1 ppm Ag= 17.08oz/t Ag).

Additional work is required to determine if those conditions exist.  Before additional drilling is done, the results of the logging, analyses, and observations by Behre Dolbear should be combined with the data and results from previous work to develop a three-dimensional model of the deposit.  Development of that model will require data from surface and underground mapping, previous mining, and drilling from this and previous campaigns.  All of this data on lithologies, structures, mineralization, and alteration must be put together on maps and cross sections to build the model.  Based on that model, the geometry (true widths and lateral extents) and grades of the mineralization as currently known will be indicated and decisions can be made if additional drilling has the potential to define economically mineable mineralization.  It has not been determined if there is adequate data available from previous work to construct a good model.  In November 2006, Deer Trail Mining Company modified and expanded the agreement with Behre Dolbear and Company (USA), Inc. for geological services at Unicos Deer Trail Mine. The new agreement and work order addsseveral new areas of consulting that will fall under Behre Dolbears scope of services on the Deer Trail project.  Under these new revisions Behre Dolbear will assemble all the available data relating to the locations, volumes, and grades of the tailings that Deer Trail intends to process through the Project's mill. Based on the information available, Behre Dolbear will estimate the volumes, tonnages, and grades of those tailings and will, if needed, recommend a drilling program to better define those tonnages and grades. Behre Dolbear will summarize the results of the drill core logging completed to date and correlate those results with pertinent assays of material from those holes to determine the factors from the logging that relate to and  16   facilitate the location of significant mineralization. With Deer Trail's assistance, Behre Dolbear will assemble all the available data (mineralization, rock types, structure, alteration, etc.) from past drilling and mining, focusing on the 3100-3400 zone in the PTH adit, i.e., the Proctor Stope and Proctor Stope Extension, which is the zone most easily accessible for near-term mining. Behre Dolbear will correlate data from the extant logging effort and assays with the data from past drilling and mining to locate and model, to the extent possible, potentially mineable mineralization in the 3100-3400 zone. Behre Dolbear will determine if logging of the holes not yet logged in the 4400 zone of the PTH adit is warranted, based upon the logging to date of holes in that zone and any available data from past drilling and mining. Behre Dolbear will assist Deer Trail with judgments and potential approaches to exploitation of the Toroweap Sandstone in the 8600 area of the PTH adit. (It appears that this area has the greatest potential for hosting high grade, large tonnage mineralization at the Deer Trail Mine. That area is, however, the portion of the existing workings that is least accessible for mining in the near term.) The agreement calls for additional personnel and support for Behre Dolbears work at the Deer Trail Mine.  Further, the modifications call for reorganizing and redirecting site efforts that have heretofore focused specifically on the logging, chemical analyses, and interpretation of the drill cores.  Behre Dolbear will focus on those aspects of the expanded work scope that will most quickly lead to the definition and potential reporting of ore reserves in the form of mine tailings. They will also focus strongly on the development of mineralization models that facilitate judgments regarding the 3100-3400 area of the PTH adit and the timing of work in the 8600 area. The company is currently waiting on the final report and analysis from Behre Dolbear and Company.  In September 2007, Deer Trail Mining Company completed the construction of a new electrical substation that will supply power to the reconstructed mill and processing facility. The substation is designed to supply up to 2.5 megawatts of electrical power well beyond the estimated 1.5 megawatts estimated to run the mill and processing facility. Additional power is expected to be used for future mining activities and expansion plans on site. The Company recently completed the construction of a secondary substation to interface directly with the mill and processing facility and it is now energized.  Silver Bell Mining Company, Inc.  Silver Bell Mining Company, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Utah on April 26, 1993. It has acquired 26 patented mining claims located in American Fork Canyon, Utah County, Utah, which is organized into three separate parcels. The claims contain mining properties that have not been mined for production since 1983. The properties were mined primarily for silver, lead and zinc. There are no known, proven or probable reserves on the property.  Silver Bell Mining Company conducted some exploration work on the Silver Bell Mine through 2004. Silver Bell Mining Company plans to conduct a feasibility study in order to analyze the claims prior to commencing any future mining activities on the claims.  Silver Bell Mining Company anticipates that any future ore mined from the Silver Bell Mine will be transported to the Deer Trail Mine site where it can be further processed.  Silver Bell Mining Company may also seek a joint venture mining partner to jointly develop the Silver Bell Mine.  Silver Bell Mining Company anticipates that any ore mined from the Silver Bell Mine will be transported to the Deer Trail Mine site where it will be crushed and milled.  In August 2006, Silver Bell Mining Company reached a preliminary agreement for a joint venture with the Polymet Company, LLC for mining at the Silver Bell Mine and executed a letter of intent.  A subsequent definitive agreement to finalize the details of the joint venture was expected to be signed by August 31, 2006.  However, the parties failed to reach a definitive agreement, and the parties are no longer involved in negotiations.  Bromide Basin Mining Company, LLC  On July 20, 2001, Unico entered into a Mining Lease and Option to Purchase with Kaibab Industries, Inc., an Arizona corporation. The parties then entered into a Revised Mining Lease and Option to Purchase in April 2003 (the "Revised Kaibab Mining Lease").  Following the formation of the Bromide Basin Mining Company in June 2004, Unico assigned all of its assets, liabilities and operations associated with the Bromide Basin Mines to Bromide Basin Mining Company. A Second Revised Mining Lease and Option to Purchase was entered into with Bromide Basin Mining Company in May 2005 that expired November 1, 2005.   Effective May 1, 2006, the parties entered into a Third Revised Mining Lease and Option to Purchase (the Third Revised Mining Lease).  At that time Unico paid approximately $63,592 to Kaibab Industries, Inc. for past due lease payments, taxes and BLM fees.  Under the Third Revised Mining Lease, Kaibab Industries, Inc. has leased to Bromide Basin Mining Company certain mining claims located in the Henry Mountain Mining District in Garfield County, Utah containing approximately 400 acres, which includes the Bromide Basin Mines. The Third Revised Mining Lease grants to Bromide Basin Mining Company the option to purchase six (6) fully permitted patented mining claims and twenty-one (21) located mining claims comprising in all over 400 acres of Bromide Basin in the Henry Mountain Mining District located in Garfield County, Utah. The option exercise price is $835,000 for all specified mining claims, mill sites and dumps being leased.  As consideration for the Third Revised Mining Lease, Bromide Basin Mining Company has agreed to pay Kaibab Industries in advance the sum of $5,000 per month and pay a five percent (5%) net smelter return  17   upon all ore taken from the leased premises each month, to the extent that the amount for any month exceeds the $5,000 monthly base rent.  Prior to the Third Revised Mining Lease expiration date of November 1, 2006, Bromide Basin Mining Company formally requested to extend the lease for one additional year. Kaibab Industries accepted the request, and extended the Lease and Option for one year, from November 1, 2006 through October 31, 2007. The current lease expired on October 31, 2007.  The company plans to negotiate an extension of the existing lease to complete its planned pre-production feasibility study and decide whether to attempt to purchase the mining claims, or abandon any future plans for the property.  The primary purpose of the agreement was to allow Bromide Basin Mining Company access to the claims to conduct an extensive preproduction feasibility study prior to any additional mining production and to analyze the potential of the claims before exercising the purchase option from Kaibab Industries.   Plan of Operation  During the next 12 months, the Companys plan of operation is to raise approximately $3,500,000 for investment into its subsidiary companies: Deer Trail Mining Company, Bromide Basin Mining Company and Silver Bell Mining Company. The funds are intended for the following purposes during the next twelve months:  § Complete analytical certification by independent lab, ALS Chemex, and final reporting from consulting firm, Behre Dolbear & Company (USA), on the logging and shipment of core samples identified and taken from the completed 2nd phase of exploratory drilling at the Deer Trail Mine; § Continue sampling and analyzing mineralized rock samples, stockpiles and dump material from the Deer Trail Mine to evaluate the most efficient means to conduct future mining and milling activities; § Expand metallurgical research department at the Deer Trail Mine and Mill Facility; § Purchase additional lab equipment for metallurgical purposes; § Upgrade mine infrastructure and begin underground mining activities including maintenance and rehabilitation work at the Deer Trail Mine; § Continue to upgrade and complete the re-construction project on the existing mill at the Deer Trail Mine; § Upgrade the crushing facility at the upper Deer Trail Mine and continue screening the ore dumps; § Begin milling and processing activities at the Deer Trail Mill and Processing Facility; § Acquire new mining equipment to improve operations at the Deer Trail Mine; § Conduct an extensive preproduction feasibility study at the Bromide Basin Mine prior to any additional mining production and analyze the potential of the claims before exercising the purchase option from Kaibab Industries; § Exercise the purchase option on the Bromide Basin Mine lease; § Conduct additional survey and mapping work on the Clyde and Crown Point mining claims including improvements to the property and potentially underground and surface exploratory drilling on the claims; and § Commence a feasibility study on the potential of the mining claims at the Silver Bell Mine beginning in the Summer of 2008.  Accomplishing the 12-month plan of operations is dependent on: (a) the Company raising approximately $3,500,000 in equity and/or debt financing during the next 12 months to be used for the Companys operations, of which approximately $1,500,000 is needed in the next 90 days; and (b)  the Company obtaining shareholder approval to amend its articles of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares so that the Company will have sufficient authorized, but unissued, shares of its common stock available to provide for the conversion of the Companys existing $5,769,080 of convertible debentures into shares of the Companys common stock.  If such stockholder approval is not obtained, the Companys cash needs for the next 12 months will increase by at least $5,769,080 to be able to pay the existing debentures in full.  The majority of funds raised by the Company during 2007 have been raised from the Companys issuance of convertible debentures.  The debentures were issued with terms of 180 days, bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, and are convertible by the holder into shares of the Companys common stock at a discount of 50% of the closing bid price on the date of conversion.  The Companys ability to continue to raise funds on these terms may be dependent on the Company obtaining shareholder approval to amend its articles of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares.  The Company needs to have a sufficient number of authorized, but unissued, shares of its common stock available to provide for the conversion of existing convertible debentures into shares of the Companys common stock as well as for the conversion of convertible debentures proposed to be issued for fundraising purposes in the future.   18   Reverse Stock Split  Effective August 11, 2006, the Companys common stock underwent a 1 for 100 reverse stock split.  As a result, the number of outstanding shares of the Companys common stock as of August 11, 2006 decreased from approximately 4,954,096,450 pre-reverse split shares to 49,540,965 post-reverse split shares.  Share figures appearing in this report are generally expressed in numbers of post-reverse split shares, unless otherwise noted.  Results of Operations.  For the three months ended November 30, 2007 and November 30, 2006, Unico reported no revenues. For the nine months ended November 30, 2007 and November 30, 2006, Unico reported no revenues.  During the three months ended November 30, 2007 the Company incurred total operating expenses of $399,763, an increase of $26,430 from the $373,333 of total operating expenses incurred in the three months ended November 30, 2006.  The increase is primarily attributed to a $67,760 increase in drilling, exploration and maintenance expense partially offset by a $21,613 decrease in general and administrative expense and other small decreases in salaries/wages and professional fees from the previous period.  During the nine months ended November 30, 2007, the Company incurred total operating expenses of $1,300,041, an increase of $105,289 from the $1,194,752 of total operating expenses incurred in the nine months ended November 30, 2006.  Drilling, exploration and maintenance expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $107,709 from the nine months ended September 30, 2006, due to an increase in mining activity and costs. Professional fees increased $153,522 in the later period, which was offset by a general and administrative expense decrease of $139,775 and a decrease of $29,566 in Salaries/Wages during the later period.  Also, depreciation and accretion increased by $13,399 in the later period.  During the three months ended November 30, 2007, interest expense was $1,737,742, an increase of $832,121 over the $905,621 of interest expense incurred in the three months ended November 30, 2006.  Loss on settlement of debt was $0.00 in the three months ended November 30, 2007, a decrease of $2,661,831 from the $2,661,831 loss on settlement of debt incurred during the three months ended November 30, 2006.  During the three months ended November 30, 2007, derivative loss on debentures was $844,553 a decrease of $47,350 from the $891,903 loss on derivative loss on debentures incurred during the three months ended November 30, 2006.  During the nine months ended November 30, 2007, interest expense was $4,372,702, an increase of $1,803,277 over the $2,569,425 of interest expense incurred in the nine months ended November 30, 2006.  Loss on settlement of debt was $7,929,184 in the nine months ended November 30, 2007, a decrease of $1,744,484 from the $9,673,668 loss on settlement of debt incurred in the nine months ended November 30, 2006.  During the nine months ended November 30, 2007, derivative loss on debentures was $634,217 a decrease if $795,237 from the $1,429,454 of derivative loss on debentures incurred in the nine months ended November 30, 2007.  The Company attributes the increases in interest expense in the later periods primarily to increases in the amount of convertible debentures issued by the Company in the later periods.  The Company attributes the decreases in derivative loss on debentures in the later period to the fact that no debentures were converted to common stock in the three months ended November 30, 2007, primarily because the Company does not have sufficient authorized, but unissued shares to permit the conversion of many of the convertible debentures outstanding.  During the three months ended November 30, 2007, Unico experienced a net loss in the amount of $2,970,727 or approximately ($0.00) per share compared to a net loss of $4,835,079 or approximately ($0.02) per share for the same period in 2006.  During the nine months ended November 30, 2007, Unico incurred a net loss of $14,219,210 or approximately ($0.01) per share compared to a net loss of $14,868,082 or approximately ($0.16) per share for the same period in 2006.  Unico attributes the $1,864,352 decrease in net loss for the three month period ended November 30, 2007 compared to the three month period ended November 30, 2006 primarily to a decrease in loss on settlement of debt because there were no shares of common stock issued on settlement of debt during the later period.  Liquidity and Capital Resources  The Companys financial statements present an impairment in terms of liquidity. As of November 30, 2007 the Company had a deficit in working capital of $13,378,355.  The Company has accumulated $59,103,973 of net operating losses through November 30, 2007, which some of which may be used to reduce taxes in future years through 2026. The use of these losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carry-forwards.  The potential tax benefit of the net operating loss carry-forwards have been offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. Under continuing operations the Company has not yet established revenues to cover its operating costs.  Management believes that the Company will soon be able to generate revenues sufficient to  19   cover its operating costs through the operations of its subsidiaries.  In the event the Company is unable to do so, and if suitable financing is unavailable, there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.  The Companys stockholders deficit increased $4,159,137 in the nine month period ended November 30, 2007, from a deficit of ($2,756,809) as of February 28, 2007 to a deficit of ($6,915,946) as of November 30, 2007.  The Companys cash as of November 30, 2007, when combined with $199,854 additional cash the Company received in early December 2007, will sustain operations for approximately 60 days.  The Company needs to raise approximately $3,500,000 in equity and/or debt financing during the next 12 months to be used for the Companys operations, of which approximately $1,500,000 is needed in the next 90 days.  The Company also needs to obtain shareholder approval to amend its articles of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares so that the Company will have sufficient authorized, but unissued, shares of its common stock available to provide for the conversion of the Companys existing $5,769,080 of convertible debentures into shares of the Companys common stock.  If such stockholder approval is not obtained, the Companys cash needs for the next 12 months will increase by at least $5,769,080 to be able to pay the existing debentures in full.  Our auditors have issued a "going concern" opinion in note 6 of our February 28, 2007 financial statements, indicating we do not have established revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. If we are successful in raising an additional $3,500,000 in equity, debt or through other financing transactions in the next 12 months (of which $1,500,000 is needed in the next 90 days), we believe that Unico will have sufficient funds to meet operating expenses until income from mining operations should be sufficient to cover operating expenses.   Item 3. Controls and Procedures.  Under the supervision and with the participation of management, acting as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, Mark A. Lopez evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), as of November 30, 2007.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information was accumulated and communication to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the last fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2007, there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.   PART II - OTHER INFORMATION   Item 1. Legal Proceedings.  During the quarter ended May 31, 2005, the Company was notified by a staff attorney at the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) that certain debentures and convertible preferred stock issued by the Company were considered senior securities as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Investment Act). Unico believed at the time that the debentures and Series A Preferred shares that were issued were not senior securities.   The Company may not have been in compliance with Section 18 of the Investment Act which required that the Company maintain net asset to senior security coverage of at least 200% while the Company was a business development company (BDC).  The Companys efforts to restructure the obligations and preferred stock into a format acceptable with the Commission were unsuccessful. As a result, the Company may have been out of compliance with Sections 18, 27 and 61 of the Investment Act while the Company was a BDC.  On October 11, 2005, the Companys shareholders approved a proposal to authorize the Companys Board of Directors to withdraw the Companys election to be treated as a BDC.  On October 12, 2005 the Company filed a Notification of Withdrawal of Election to be Subject to Sections 55 through 65 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 pursuant to Section 54(c) of the Act with the Commission in order to withdraw the Companys election to be treated as a BDC. During the year ended February 28, 2007, the Company entered into a total of 108 settlement transactions in the Twelfth Circuit (State) Court in Florida stemming from defaulted convertible debentures totaling $2,740,000.  Unico agreed to settle all of the action by issuing a total of 986,744,018 shares of its common stock to the plaintiffs  These shares were issued  20   pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, after a hearing with notice to, and an opportunity to be heard from, interested parties, as to the fairness of each transaction, by a state court in Florida which specifically determined, prior to declaring that the transactions were exempt under Section 3(a)(10), that the transactions were fair to the interested parties.  During the nine months ended November 30, 2007, the Company entered into a total of 4 settlement transactions in the Twelfth Circuit (State) Court in Florida stemming from defaulted convertible debentures totaling $450,000.  Unico agreed to settle all of the action by issuing a total of 2,900,000,000 shares of its common stock to the plaintiffs. These shares were issued pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, after a hearing with notice to, and an opportunity to be heard from, interested parties, as to the fairness of each transaction, by a state court in Florida which specifically determined, prior to declaring that the transactions were exempt under Section 3(a)(10), that the transactions were fair to the interested parties.  The Company scheduled a special meeting of its shareholders on December 21, 2007 at which shareholders were to vote on a proposal to amend the Companys articles of incorporation to authorize the Companys board of directors, in its discretion, to effect a reverse stock split of the Companys common stock at a ratio of up to one-for-five hundred during the six month period following the date of a special meeting of shareholders.  On December 17, 2007, plaintiff Legacy Trading Group (Legacy), a California limited liability company, filed an action against Unico alleging violation of Section 14(a) and (c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder, and Arizona Revised Statute § 19-705.  The action was filed in the United States District Court, Southern Division of California (Civil No. 07CV 2344-L (RBB)).  Legacy filed an ex parte application for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), contending that notice of the special meeting of Unicos shareholders and/or the related proxy statement was not provided to all shareholders.  At a hearing held on December 18, 2007, the Court granted the application for a TRO, and enjoined and restrained Unico from holding the special meeting of the shareholders on December 21, 2007 or at any other time until the preliminary injunction hearing in this matter is heard.  The preliminary injunction hearing was held on January 8, 2008.  Plaintiffs application for a preliminary injunction was denied at the hearing on the grounds of being moot.  Unico believes notice of the special meeting of Unicos shareholders and the related proxy statement for the December 21, 2007 special meeting were sent to all shareholders entitled to receive such pursuant to applicable federal proxy rules and the Arizona Revised Statutes.  However, since the TRO prevented the Company from holding the special meeting of shareholders on December 21, 2007, the Company has rescheduled the special meeting of shareholders until January 28, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.  The Company has mailed the Proxy Statement and related materials to all shareholders entitled to receive such materials.    Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.  From March 1, 2007 through November 30, 2007 Unico issued convertible debentures (Debentures) aggregating approximately $4,690,100 to Blue Marble and Compass Capital that were unpaid.  All of the debentures issued before June 1, 2007 which aggregate approximately $3,418,980 are in default.  The debentures issued before June 1, 2007 were assigned to Blue Marble Investments, Outboard Investments, Umbrella Holdings, Compass Capital and Yanzu, Inc.  Because Unico, Incorporated failed to pay certain of the Debentures when due, 7 lawsuits were filed by these Debenture holders against Unico, Incorporated in the Twelfth Circuit (State) Court in Florida during the nine month period ended November 30, 2007.  The Debentures provided that the principal amount and accrued interest were convertible, at the option of the holders of the Debentures, into Unicos common stock at a price per share equal to 50% of the closing bid price of Unicos common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board on the immediately preceding trading day prior to the notice of conversion.  Unico agreed to settle each action by issuing shares of its common stock to the plaintiffs using a valuation of approximately 14% to 20% of the then existing bid price of Unico, Incorporated common stock.  These shares were issued pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, after a hearing with notice to, and an opportunity to be heard from, interested parties, as to the fairness of each transaction, by a state court in Florida which specifically determined, prior to declaring that the transactions were exempt under Section 3(a)(10), that the transactions were fair to the interested parties.  From March 1, 2007 until November 30, 2007, in connection with the exercise of conversion rights by the holders of the Debentures and pursuant to the litigation settlements, Unico issued an aggregate of 3,801,315,790 shares of its common stock.  There were no underwriters involved in any of the stock issuances described above, and there were no underwriting discounts or commissions paid.  The stock in each transaction was issued pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933 as securities issued in exchange for one or more bona vide outstanding securities, claims or property interests . . .  21   where the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions . . . .  As of November 30, 2007, there are still outstanding approximately $5,569,080 in convertible debentures (less discounts of $742,417), and the holders of these debentures have the right to convert them to shares of the Companys common stock.  During the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2007, the Company issued a total of 4,156,463 shares of its common stock to Ray C. Brown pursuant to convertible debentures in consideration of the conversion of $6,650 in accrued interest to Ray C. Brown.  These shares were issued without registration in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for transactions not involving any public offering, and the certificates representing the shares were appropriately restricted. During the Fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 the Company entered into two stock purchase agreements with Cherry Creek Holdings, LLC where in Cherry Creek purchased 33,333,333 and 42,785,700 shares of unregistered and restricted shares of Common stock for $400,000 and $599,000 respectively.  The shares have not been issued and are reported as a stock payable on the financial statements.  The cash has been received and the stock will be issued in the fiscal year ending February 28, 2008.  These shares will be issued without registration in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for transactions not involving any public offering, and the certificates representing the shares will be appropriately restricted.  For information concerning sales of shares of Unico's Common Stock by Unico which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 during the fiscal years ended February 28, 2006 and February 28, 2007 please refer to Unico's annual reports on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2006 and February 28, 2007, respectively, and to Unicos quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended May 31, 2005 and 2006, August 31, 2005 and 2006 and November 30, 2005 and 2006.   Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.  From January 1, 2007 through November 30, 2007 Unico issued convertible debentures (Debentures) aggregating approximately $15,000 to Reef Holding, Ltd., approximately $2,765,000 to Outboard Holdings  that were unpaid, and in default, as of November 30, 2007.  The holders of the convertible debentures had assigned portions of the Debentures to Blue Marble Investments, Outboard Investments, Umbrella Holdings, Compass Capital and Yanzu, Inc.  Because Unico, Incorporated failed to pay the Debentures when due, a total of seven (7) lawsuits were filed by these Debenture holders against Unico, Incorporated in the Twelfth Circuit (State) Court in Florida from March 1, 2007 to November 30, 2007 in partial settlement of this debt.   The Debentures provided that the principal amount and accrued interest were convertible, at the option of the holders of the Debentures, into Unicos common stock at a price per share equal to 50% of the closing bid price of Unicos common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board on the immediately preceding trading day prior to the notice of conversion.  Unico agreed to settle each action by issuing shares of its common stock to the plaintiffs using a valuation of approximately 14% to 20% of the then existing bid price of Unico, Incorporated common stock.  These shares were issued pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, after a hearing with notice to, and an opportunity to be heard from, interested parties, as to the fairness of each transaction, by a state court in Florida which specifically determined, prior to declaring that the transactions were exempt under Section 3(a)(10), that the transactions were fair to the interested parties.  From March 1, 2007 until November 30, 2007, in connection with the exercise of conversion rights by the holders of the Debentures and pursuant to the litigation settlements, Unico issued an aggregate of 3,801,315,790 shares of its common stock.  As of November 30, 2007, Unico has approximately $2,780,000 in outstanding debentures that were in default.   Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.  None   Item 5.
