UNICO, INCORPORATED

Notes to the Financial Statements

November 30, 2005



NOTE 1 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim financial statements include normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its February 28, 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Operating results for the nine months ended November 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2006.



NOTE 2 – CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRACTICES



Withdrawal  as a Business Development Company



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.  On August 1, 2005, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the proposal to withdraw the Company’s election to be treated as a business development company (BDC) as soon as practicable so that it 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, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock approved the proposal to withdraw the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC effective immediately, upon receipt by the Securities Exchange Commission of a Notification of Withdrawal, so that it could begin conducting business as an operating company rather than as a BDC subject to the Investment Company Act.   This meant that the Company would no longer be entitled to raise up to $5 million annually under an exemption from securities registration available to BDCs which could make raising additional capital difficult.  On October 12, 2005 a Notification of Withdrawal was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.



Significant change in method of accounting



The election to withdraw the Company as a BDC under the Investment Company Act has resulted in a significant change in the Company’s required method of accounting. BDC financial statement presentation and accounting utilizes the value method of accounting used by investment companies, which allows BDC’s to recognize income and value their investments at market value as opposed to historical cost.  As an operating company, the required financial statement presentation and accounting for securities held will be either fair value or historical cost methods of accounting, depending on the classification of the investment and the Company’s intent with respect to the period of time it intends to hold the investment.



Effect



As an operating company, the Company must consolidate its financial statements with subsidiaries, thus eliminating the portfolio company reporting benefits available to BDC’s. As a result, in accordance with FAS 154, the accompanying financial statements have been presented on an operating and consolidated basis for all periods presented on a retrospective basis.

NOTE 3 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION



This summary of significant accounting policies of Unico, Incorporated is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The 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 financial statements.



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. Prior to filing the N-54A Notification, Unico formed two new wholly-owned subsidiaries in late June 2004. Unico's Deer Trail Mine operations are now being conducted through Unico's wholly-owned subsidiary, Deer Trail Mining Company, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Unico's Bromide Basin Mine operations are now being conducted through Unico's wholly-owned subsidiary, Bromide Basin Mining Company, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Unico also owns Silver Bell Mining Company, Inc.  On August 1, 2005, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the proposal to withdraw the Company’s election to be treated as a business development company as soon as practicable so that it 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 Company presently has three subsidiaries: Deer Trail Mining Company, LLC, Silver Bell Mining Company, Inc., and Bromide Basin Mining Company, LLC.  Deer Trail Mining and Bromide Basin Mining were originally operations of Unico, Incorporated; however, in June 2004, Unico formed each company as a separate operating entity, wholly-owned by Unico, and transferred all respective operations and assets into these separate operating companies.  The accompanying 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.

If it is not able to repay in stock then it will repay the principal plus interest of 8% per annum. $110,000 was raised in the prior quarters for 48,519,000 shares of common stock on the same terms bringing the stock payable due to $242,500 for 93,105,640 shares of common stock.



Unico, Incorporated (the Company) withdrew its election under Section 54(a) of the Investment Act of 1940 on October 12, 2005 on the following basis:



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. The Staff of the Commission believes that the issuance of these securities and the design of the Company’s capital structure were made in an effort to dilute the economic and voting interest of the other shareholders of the Company and that such capital structure violates the Investment Company Act of 1940.  The Company believed at the time that the debentures and Series A Preferred shares were issued that they were not senior securities. However, the Company may not have been in compliance with Section 18 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 which required the Company to maintain net assets to senior security coverage of at least 200%. 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 and 61 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the Company pursued various options to extinguish the stock or otherwise become compliant. The Company could be subject to enforcement action by the Commission in connection with the foregoing.  The Company believes it is now better able to address its capital structure since it is no longer subject to the BDC Provisions.

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 from its inception through November 30, 2005.   It has not established any revenues with which to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern.

---





The Company has raised a total of $2,975,000 through the issuance of convertible debentures since July 2004.  This has allowed the company to sustain operations.  The Company will have to raise an additional $5,000,000 to fully implement the operational plans of its subsidiaries.  Additional equity or debt financing is being sought but there are no current commitments.



During the next 12 months, Unico’s plan of operation is to raise approximately $5,000,000 which Unico intends to invest in its subsidiary companies, Deer Trail Mining Company, Bromide Basin Mining Company and Silver Bell Mining Company.  The Deer Trail Mining Company, Bromide Basin Mining Company and Silver Bell Mining Company intend to use the funds for the following purposes:



·

Ship core samples taken from the completed 2nd phase of exploratory drilling at the Deer Trail Mine and have them analyzed/certified by an independent lab;

·

Continue sampling and testing ore from the Deer Trail Mine to evaluate the most efficient means to conduct future mining and milling activities;

·

Increase mining and milling activities at the Deer Trail Mine;

·

Upgrade the mine infrastructure 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 screening plant and crushing facilities at the upper Deer Trail Mine and resume processing the ore dumps;

·

Acquire new mining equipment and vehicles to improve operations at the Deer Trail Mine;

·

Increase the number of employees from nine to approximately 25;

·

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 its    purchase option from Kaibab Industries;

·

Exercise the purchase option or extend the Bromide Basin Mine lease;

·

Commence an exploration and resource definition program at the Silver Bell Mine beginning in Spring/Summer, 2006;

·

Explore the possibility of obtaining a joint-venture partner to increase the development of Unico's mining operations;

·

Exercise or extend an option to purchase the Deer Trail Mine for $3,000,000; and

·

Raise a minimum of $5,000,000 in additional equity capital and/or other debt financing transactions.



Accomplishing the 12-month plan of operations is dependent on Unico raising approximately $5,000,000 in equity and/or debt financing during the next 12 months. The Company's cash as of November 30, 2005 will sustain operations for approximately 60 days.

General Information Regarding Unico and its Operations.



Unico 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 28 patented claims, 5 patented mill sites and 171 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 covering the same property for a period of thirty (30) months. It was subsequently extended through August 31, 2005 through a Modification of Mining Lease and Option to Purchase dated May 31, 2004. Pursuant to the Modification of Mining Lease and Option to Purchase dated May 31, 2004:  (a) Unico paid all past due royalties, taxes, assessments and all other amounts then owed under the Deer Trail Lease (approximately $204,000) on or about September 1, 2004; (b) Unico paid a non-refundable payment of $1,000,000 on or about September 1, 2004, which was to be counted as a payment toward exercise of the option to purchase the Deer Trail Mine if Unico paid an additional $3,000,000 to purchase the Deer Trail Mine on or before August 31, 2005 or any extended due date which may be agreed upon by both parties; and (c) Unico agreed to continue to make the payments required under the Deer Trail Lease during the extended lease term and any extension thereof.



11

---



Unico and Deer Trail Mining Company, LLC are now attempting to negotiate a new lease or an extension to the most recent lease which expired August 31, 2005.  The most recent lease agreement is referred to in this report as the "Deer Trail Lease". The Deer Trail Lease required Unico to make monthly lease payments and pay a 3% net smelter return on ore removed from the Deer Trail Mine.



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 has assumed responsibility for making payments under the Deer Trail Lease.  If Unico and the Deer Trail Mining Company are successful in their efforts to negotiate a new lease or an extension of the term of the Deer Trail Lease which expired August 31, 2005, their ability to make the required payments will be dependent on either Unico or Deer Trail Mining Company raising substantial equity capital and/or securing substantial financing in the near future.  No assurance can be given that either Unico or Deer Trail Mining Company will be successful in its efforts to raise the necessary funds and/or secure the necessary financing.  If Unico and Deer Trail Mining Company fail to negotiate a new lease or an extension of the term of the Deer Trail Lease, or if they fail in their efforts to raise substantial additional equity capital and/or secure substantial additional financing,, Unico and Deer Trail Mining Company will likely have lost all rights they had to the Deer Trail Mine property.



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 seven full time employees, two full time consultants, and three part time consultants whose services are used on an as needed basis.



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.



Unico worked for more than two years to reopen the Deer Trail Mine.  Unico commenced mining activities in late March or early April 2001 on the Deer Trail Mine.  To date, the mining activities have been fairly limited.  There have been 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 has been 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. Unico started screening and crushing ore dumps on the upper Deer Trail Mine and moved the materials to the ball mill.  Currently the Deer Trail Mining Company is reconstructing the mill to enhance productivity and efficiency.  The Deer Trail Mining Company has temporarily suspended screening and crushing ore at the Deer Trail Mine to accommodate a construction project to upgrade the screening plant and crushing facility.



We believe 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.



In early 2005, Deer Trail Mining Company
contracted with Connors Drilling to commence an underground diamond core drill
program. 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. All of the holes drilled
reported to intersect mineralization within their designated targets. In a
preliminary report by geologists, 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. Once complete, it plans to ship its core
samples to an independent lab for analysis.

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.



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 commence an exploration and resource definition program at the Silver Bell Mine beginning in Spring, 2006.  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.



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 (the Second Revised Mining Lease). Under the Second Revised Kaibab Mining Lease, Kaibab Industries, Inc. 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 Second Revised Mining Lease expired November 1, 2005, and granted 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 was $835,000 for all specified mining claims, mill sites and dumps being leased. As consideration for the Second 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 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.



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.



The Company has started its pre-production feasibility study, and is currently analyzing the potential of the claims at the Bromide Basin Mines.



Unico wants to obtain a new lease or an extension of the Second Revised Mining Lease on the Bromide Basin mines property.  In the event Unico can raise substantial additional funds or obtain substantial additional financing, Kaibab Industries, Inc. has stated that it will consider entering into a new lease or extending the term of the Second Revised Mining Lease, provided that any such arrangement must include a payment of existing amounts owed by Unico to Kaibab Industries, Inc..

Plan of Operation



During the next 12 months, Unico’s plan of operation is to raise approximately $5,000,000 which Unico intends to invest in its subsidiary companies, Deer Trail Mining Company, Bromide Basin Mining Company and Silver Bell Mining Company.  The Deer Trail Mining Company, Bromide Basin Mining Company and Silver Bell Mining Company intend to use the funds for the following purposes:



·

Ship core samples taken from thecompleted 2nd phase of exploratory drilling at the Deer Trail Mine and have them analyzed/certified by an independent lab;

·

Continue sampling and testing ore from the Deer Trail Mine to evaluate the most efficient means to conduct future mining and milling activities;

·

Increase mining and milling activities at the Deer Trail Mine;

·

Upgrade the mine infrastructure at the Deer Trail Mine;

·

Continue to upgrade and complete the re-construction project on the existing mill at the Deer Trail Mine;

·

Acquire a pilot mill to accommodate temporary production of concentrates to PGM Company while upgrades are made to the existing mill at the Deer Trail Mine;

·

Upgrade the screening plant and crushing facilities at the upper Deer Trail Mine and resume processing the ore dumps;

·

Acquire new mining equipment and vehicles to improve operations at the Deer Trail Mine;

·

Increase the number of employees from nine to approximately 25;

·

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 its purchase option from Kaibab Industries;

·

Exercise the purchase option or extend the Bromide Basin Mine lease;

·

Commence an exploration and resource definition program at the Silver Bell Mine beginning in Spring/Summer, 2006;

·

Explore the possibility of obtaining a joint-venture partner to increase the development of Unico's mining operations;

·

Exercise or extend an option to purchase the Deer Trail Mine for $3,000,000; and

·

Raise a minimum of $5,000,000 in additional equity capital and/or other debt financing transactions.



Accomplishing the 12-month plan of operations is dependent on Unico raising approximately $5,000,000 in equity and/or debt financing during the next 12 months. The Company's cash as of November 30, 2005 will sustain operations for approximately 60 days.



Results of Operations.



During the three months ended November 30, 2005, Unico experienced a net loss in the amount of $371,194 or approximately ($0.00) per share compared to a net loss of $3,104,242 or approximately ($0.01) per share for the same period in 2004.  During the nine months ended November 30, 2005, Unico incurred a net loss of $1,252,169, or approximately ($0.003) per share compared to a net loss of $5,098,371 or approximately ($0.03) per share for the same period in 2004.



For the three months ended November 30, 2005, Unico reported revenues of $26,202 compared to no revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2004.  For the nine months ended November 30, 2005, Unico reported revenues of $26,202 compared to no revenue for the nine months ended November 30, 2004.



Unico attributes the $2,733,048 decrease in net loss for the three month period ended November 30, 2005 compared to the same period ended November 30, 2004 primarily to a $1,665,164 decrease in interest expense and a $1,000,000 decrease in lease expense.  Unico attributes the $3,846,202 decrease in net loss for the nine month period ended November 30, 2005 compared to the same period ended November 30, 2004 primarily to a $2,451,873 decrease in interest expense, a $1,000,000 decrease in lease expense and a $290,673 decrease in general and administrative expenses. The change in general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from decreases in consulting and professional fees.



14

---





The substantial decreases in interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2005 are largely attributed to the fact that the Company acquired less debt during the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2005 than during the previous three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2004.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



The Company’s financial statements present an impairment in terms of liquidity. As of November 30, 2005 the Company had a deficit in working capital of $3,722,820.  The Company has accumulated $19,868,933 of net operating losses through November 30, 2005, which may be used to reduce taxes in future years through 2025. 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 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.



Cash used in investing activities during the nine month period ended November 30, 2005 was $20,000. This amount was invested into the Company’s subsidiary Deer Trail Mining Company.



We are dependent on raising approximately $5,000,000 to successfully implement our 12 month business plan described above.  The Company’s termination of its election to be regulated as a business development company has allowed the Company to move forward.  We believe $5,000,000 can be raised with a combination of debt and equity.



Our auditors have issued a "going concern" opinion in note 3 of our February 28, 2005 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 $5,000,000 in equity, debt or through other financing transactions in the next 12 months, we believe that Unico will have sufficient funds to meet operating expenses until income from mining operations should be sufficient to cover operating expenses.



The Company has filed a notice of a special meeting of shareholders to be held on February 2, 2006 to approve a proposal to amend the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized, and then to seek additional capital from private sales of Unico's common stock.  If necessary, we may seek loans from our management and/or others. In the event income from mining operations is delayed or is insufficient to cover operating expenses, then Unico will need to seek additional funds from equity or debt financing.



Item 3. Controls and Procedures.



(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.



Mark A. Lopez who serves as Unico's chief executive officer and as Unico's chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of Unico's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of the quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date") concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, Unico's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to Unico and its subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report was being prepared.

---



(b) Changes in internal controls.



There were no significant changes in Unico's internal controls or in other factors that could affect Unico's disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the Evaluation Date, nor any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in such disclosure controls and procedures requiring corrective actions. As a result, no corrective actions were taken.







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 were issued that they 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.



On or about March 17, 2005, Eben C. Loewenthal filed a Complaint against Unico, Incorporated in the Third Judicial District Court in and for Salt Lake County, State of Utah (Civil No. 050905311), alleging that the Company owes him $33,000 which he loaned the Company in 2002 plus prejudgment statutory interest from and after June 24, 2002 until judgment and post-judgment interest thereafter.  The parties subsequently settled the matter with the Company agreeing to repay the principal and accrued interest at 10% per annum.  The Company has made an initial $5,000 payment, and the balance is due on or before January 31, 2006.  In the event the Company does not pay the final payment timely, a judgment by consent may be entered against Unico for the remaining amount owing.



On or about September 29, 2005, Connors Drilling, LLC filed a Complaint against Unico, Inc., Deer Trail Mining Company, LLC and Crown Mines, LLC in the Sixth Judicial District Court in and for Piute County, State of Utah (Civil No. 050600016) alleging that the defendants owe $67,889.25 plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, attorney’s fees and costs.  Connors Drilling, LLC alleges that it agreed to perform core drilling in and for the Deer Trail Mine in exchange for the payment of services, and that there is a current balance due of $67,889.25 for the work performed by Connors Drilling.  The Complaint alleges breach of contract and unjust enrichment, and Connors Drilling, LLC also seeks to foreclose on a mining lien which it has filed against the Deer Trail Mine and the 680 acres of real property owned by the Company located nearby.  The parties have entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which Unico has agreed to pay the amounts sought in the Complaint.  Unico has already paid $20,000.  Unico is to pay an additional $15,000 on or before January 31, 2006 and the balance on or before February 28, 2006.  In the event Unico does not make the remaining payments on a timely basis, a Confession of Judgment and Decree of Foreclosure may be entered against Unico and Deer Trail Mining Company, LLC.  Should this occur, the Company’s interest in the property subject to the mining lien could be sold at a public auction.



On or about December 5, 2005, Atlas Sales, Inc. filed a Complaint against Unico, Incorporated in Pima County Justice Court, Arizona (Civil No. 05027200) alleging that Unico owes $3,986.84 for the rental of certain equipment during 2002 and related charges, interest of $838.56 through December 1, 2003, additional accrued interest at the rate of 18.0% per annum since December 1, 2003, and attorneys fees and related court costs.  The parties are in the process of finalizing a settlement that should provide for Unico to pay the amount owing in six consecutive monthly payments.

Kaibab Industries, Inc., the lessor of the Bromide Basin Mine property, has demanded that Unico pay it $120,119.66, plus accrued interest, which it alleges is due on a promissory note dated April 1, 2003 which is secured with certain equipment owned by Unico.  Kaibab Industries, Inc. has also demanded that Bromide Basin Mining Company, LLC pay $30,000 for unpaid rent which it alleges is owed under the Second Revised Mining Lease and Option to Purchase (the Lease) plus $3,591.62 for taxes and mining claim renewal fees to be reimbursed pursuant to the Lease.  The Lease expired on October 31, 2005.  Kaibab Industries, Inc. has threatened to file suit to collect the amounts it alleges are owing.  Unico has been in discussions with Kaibab Industries, Inc. concerning the possibility of restructuring the payment of the amounts owing and to renew and/or extend the existing Lease.  Unico hopes to obtain substantial additional funding in the near future, part of which can be used to settle the obligations with Kaibab Industries, Inc. and to seek to obtain a renewal and/or extension of the Lease.



Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds



During the quarter ended November 30, 2005, the Company issued a stock subscription payable for 44,586,640 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $132,000, or approximately $0.0029 per share. No underwriter was involved in this transaction and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid.  The Company has agreed to issue the stock if and when it becomes available to do so.  If the Company is not able to issue the stock, then the Company must repay the principal plus interest at 8.0% per annum.  The Company intends to issue the shares in reliance on the registration exemption in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for transactions not involving a public offering.



Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.



None



Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.



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 pursuant to Section 54(c) under the Investment Company Act.  The proposal was approved with 273,314,014 shares voting in favor, 7,582,854 shares voting against and 2,072,681 shares abstaining.  On October 12, 2005 a Notification of Withdrawal was filed with the Commission so that Unico may begin conducting business as an operating company rather than as a BDC subject to the Investment Company Act.



Unico recently mailed a Proxy Statement to its shareholders concerning a Special Meeting of the Unico Shareholders to be held February 2, 2006 to vote on the following matters: (a) a proposal to amend Unico’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 5,000,000,000; (b) a proposal to amend Unico’s Articles of Incorporation to authorize Unico’s Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of Unico’s common stock at a ratio of up to one-for–one hundred during the six month period following the date of the Special Meeting of Unico’s Shareholders; (c) a proposal to reduce the par value of Unico’s common stock from $0.10 per share to $0.001 per share; and (d) a proposal to approve Unico’s 2005 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan.
