  Item 1. Financial Statements
  <P>
  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
  <P>
  The accompanying unaudited financial statements are
  presented in accordance with generally accepted
  accounting principles for interim financial information
  and the instructions to Form 10-QSB and item 310 under
  subpart A of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly, they do not
  include all of the information and footnotes required by
  generally accepted accounting principles for complete
  financial statements.  The accompanying statements should
  be read in conjunction with the audited financial
  statements for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
  1998.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
  (consisting only of normal occurring accruals) considered
  necessary in order to make the financial statements not
  misleading, have been included.  Operating results for
  the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily
  indicative of results that may be expected for the year
  ending December 31, 2000.  The financial statements are
  presented on the accrual basis.

            INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTS

  Board of Directors and Stockholders
  UNICO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
  Springfield Virginia
  <P>
  We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance
  sheet of UNICO, INC. AND Subsidiaries, as
  of March 31, 2000, and the related consolidated
  statements of operations, stockholders'
  equity and cash flows for the quarter then ended, in
  accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting
  and Review Services issued by the American Institute of
  Certified Public Accountants.  All information included
  in these financial statements is the representation of
  the management of Unico, Inc.
  <P>
  A review consists principally of inquiries of Company
  personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial
  data.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit in
  accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
  the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
  regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
  Accordingly, we do not express an opinion.
  <P>
  The financial statements for the year ended December 31,
  1999 were audited by us and we expressed an unqualified
  opinion on them, with reference to a going concern, in
  our report dated November 29, 1999.  The financial
  statements for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were
  compiled by us, accordingly, we express no assurance on
  them.

                       MARCH 31, 2000
  <P>
  NOTE 1-ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
  POLICIES
  <P>
  (A)     Nature of operation
  <P>
  In May 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to
  sell the common stock of its  wholly owned subsidiary,
  United Marketing Solutions, Inc. (UMSI) to Next
  Generation Media (NexGen).  Closing on this sale occurred
  on April 1, 1999, leaving Unico as a publicly traded
  shell company.
  <P>
  Under new management, the Company intends on becoming an
  "Internet Incubator," and is actively seeking private
  financing for that purpose.
  <P>
  (B)     Basis of consolidation
  <P>
  The consolidated financial statements include the
  accounts of the Company, UMSI until sold and its wholly
  owned subsidiary Silver Valley Energy, Inc. (SVE).  All
  material inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
  <P>
  (C)     Acquisition
  <P>
  During May 1999 the Company acquired all of the common
  stock of SVE for $35,000 in cash and 175,000 shares of
  common stock.  SVE owns oil, gas, and mineral lease
  rights on approximately 1,200 acres of land located in
  Texas.  SVE is inactive and is not developing these
  rights.  The subsidiary has not had any operations since
  inception.
  <P>
  (D)     Property
  <P>
  Property is recorded at cost and is depreciated over its
  estimated useful life.
  <P>
  (E)     Cash and cash equivalents
  <P>
  The statement of cash flows is presented on a basis of
  cash available.
  <P>
  (F)     Income taxes
  <P>
  The Company files a consolidated federal tax return.
  <P>
                UNICO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     March 31,2000
  <P>
  (G)     Impairment of long-lived assets
  <P>
  The company policy is to periodically evaluate the
  economic recoverability of all of its long-lived assets.
  In accordance with that policy, when the company
  determines that an asset has become impaired, it
  recognizes the loss on the basis of the discounted cash
  flows from that asset.
  <P>
  (H)     Earnings (loss) per share
  <P>
  Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by the net
  income for the year by the weighted average number of
  shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings
  (loss) per share is computed by taking into consideration
  stock options as if the stock was issued.
  <P>
  Note- 2     LEASES
  <P>
  The company currently leases offices on a month-to-month
  basis at 333 Ludlow Street, Stamford, Connecticut.
  <P>
  Note- 3      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND THE LOSS ON
  SALE OF SUBSIDIARY
  During 1998 and 1999, throughout the pendency of the
  NexGen acquisition of UMSI, monies were advanced by
  NexGen to the Company.  All monies received in this sale
  during 1998 were reported in equity as paid in capital.
  In 1999, after all monies were actually received, the
  full amount previously recognized as paid in capital in
  1998, or $ 1,106,399, was offset and the net difference
  of $ 6,166 is reported in 1999 as a loss in the statement
  of operations.
  <P>
  During 1998, the Company's President  and certain other
  members of the Board of Directors resigned and became
  stockholders of NexGen, having exchanged their interests
  in the Company for NexGen's common stock.  New management
  was appointed by the new majority stockholders.
  <P>
              UNICO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    March 31, 2000
  <P>
  NOTE 4- INCOME TAXES
  <P>
  The company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
  Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 which requires an
  asset and liability approach to accounting for income
  taxes. The company has not recorded a deferred tax asset
  because its realization is unknown and depends on future
  results of operations
  <P>
  NOTE 5- COMMON STOCK
  <P>
  On  May 28, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of SVE for
  1,080,000 restricted shares of common stock.
  Subsequently, the purchase price was renegotiated
  providing for the return of the 1,080,000 shares, giving
  SVE a cash payment of $35,000 and 250,000 shares of
  Common stock.  The financial statements recognize only
  the amended agreement and sets aside the original
  agreement.
  <P>
  The Company also made a 1 for 3 reverse stock split
  immediately before acquiring SVE.  This 1 for 3 reverse
  stock split has been recognized in these financial
  statements retroactive to December 31, 1998.
  <P>
  The stock transfer agent was changed in May of 1999.  In
  the transition, an additional 168,587 shares of issued
  and outstanding stock came to light.  Management has not
  been able to explain who owns these shares or for what
  purpose they were issued.  Management has chosen these
  168,587 as a reduction in paid in capital and an increase
  in common stock at par value.
  <P>
  NOTE  6- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS OF SUBSIDIARY
  <P>
  During 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to
  sell its principal operating subsidiary UMSI, formerly
  United Coupon Corporation.  Accordingly, the results of
  operations for 1999  are presented showing the results of
  continuing operations and discontinued operations net of
  taxes.  UMSI was fully disposed of on April 1, 1999. The
  Company, after this transaction had no assets or
  liabilities.

  ACQUISITION
  <P>
  On December 28, 1999 the Company entered into a share
  exchange agreement with Precision Communication

  Company was to acquire all of the interests in
  Communication in exchange for warrants to acquire 500,000
  shares of stock at varying prices and 416,470 shares of
  common stock.  The company plans to cancel all of the
  common stock issued in the transaction and will not honor
  the warrants when they are presented for exercise.  The
  Company believes that it was induced to enter into the
  transactions based on several financial
  misrepresentations by Communication.
  <P>
  NOTE 8- BIDINVITE.COM, INC. ACQUISITION
  <P>
  On March 1, 2000, the Company acquired 95% of the

  options have been granted to Directors and key employees.
  The exercise price is $.01 per share.
  <P>
  NOTE  10- GOING CONCERN
  <P>

  corporation.  Anticipating this, new management was
  searching for other business activities.
  <P>

  took effect May, 1999   refer to Note 5.  The second
  acquisition, Precision Communication Consultants LLC

  <P>
  NOTE 10   GOING CONCERN
  <P>
  Despite all of the acquisitions and related efforts, the
  only funds raised to date are those of the majority
  shareholder in the form of loans and capital
  contributions to the Company.  Unless additional funds
  are obtained, from other sources, or the company makes
  positive cash flow from its operations, the Company could
  jeopardize its ability to continue as a going concern.
  Presently, the majority shareholder plans to continue
  funding the operations of the Company, anticipating other
  sources will come about in the near future.
  <P>
  NOTE 11-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
  <P>
  In April, 2000, the Officers and Directors of the Company
  exercised their stock options for the acquisition of

  <P>
             Management Discussion and Analysis
  <P>
  Certain matters discussed herein are forward-looking
  statements intended to qualify for the safe harbors from
  liabilities established by the Private Litigation Reform
  Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements can
  generally be identified as such because the context will
  include words such as the Company "believes," "plans,"
  "intends," "anticipates," "expects," or words of similar
  import.  Similarly, words that describe the Company's
  future plans, objectives, estimates, goals, are also
  forward-looking statements.
  <P>
  Such statements address future events and conditions
  concerning capital expenditures, earnings, litigation,
  capital resources and accounting matters.  Actual results
  may vary materially from those currently anticipated in
  such statements by reason of factors such as future
  economic conditions, including changes in customer
  demands, and changes in legislative or regulatory
  environments.
  <P>
  On April 1, 1999, the Company sold its only asset, the
  stock of its operating subsidiary United Marketing to
  NextGen, Inc.  This sale was agreed to in May of 1998 and
  Unico received $1,106,000.  The Company declared a stock
  dividend of $ 172,000 in December 1998 to be paid in
  1999.  The subsidiary was in the franchising of
  cooperative direct mail advertising distributorships
  business.  The results of operations of United Marketing
  are included in the statement of operation for the period
  January 1, 1999 through April 1, 1999.
  <P>
  As a result of the above-described transaction, Unico,
  Inc. became a publicly traded "shell" company.  The
  company, immediately after the sale of United Marketing,
  had no assets and no liabilities.  The company was funded
  by two new shareholders, Nathan International and TC
  Equities, selected a new Board of Directors and
  management team, and changed its "mission."
  <P>
  In May of 1999, the Company purchased an interest in an
  oil and gas lease covering approximately 1,200 acres of
  land in Texas.  This oil and gas lease will be disposed
  of in 2000.
  <P>
  Unico intends to become a diversified holding company
  focusing on the incubation, acquisition and financing of
  young, development stage high technology companies.
  Unico's mission is to focus on early stage companies
  where Unico can add significant value through its network
  of relationships, and the Company's experience in
  building distribution, technology, developing brands, and
  financing.
  <P>
  The company believes that its primary strengths are its
  ability to acquire attractive development stage high
  technology companies on favorable terms, to provide the
  necessary funding and guidance, enabling these companies
  to implement their business plans.
  <P>
  Unico serves as an incubator to these companies,
  completing its first acquisition, BidInvite.com, Inc., on
  March 1, 2000.
  <P>
  BidInvite.com intends to revolutionize the way the
  construction industry exchanges information concerning
  construction jobs up for bid and the resulting
  contractor's bid.
  <P>
  On April 3, 2000, the Company completed it second
  acquisition, Vifor2k. Vifor2k is a New York based
  software development company that specializes in end-user
  applications.  Vifor2k recently developed a new suite of
  desktop applications aimed at the corporate desktop
  market.  Advanced PC users will now have an array of
  utilities and programs that will allow them to more
  easily send and receive email, chat, transfer files, and
  perform other functions.
  <P>
  No meaningful comparison can be made between 1998 and
  1999 because of the sale of the United Marketing
  subsidiary and the entrance into a completely new
  business.
  <P>
  The Company's net loss for the period ended March 31,
  2000 was primarily due to start up costs permitting the
  Company to build its infrastructure.
