SECTION 3.  Securities and Trading Markets

ITEM 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

In the last quarterly report of Unico, Incorporated (“Unico”) filed on October 14, 2009, Unico stated that as of October 10, 2009 it had 420,489,553 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share, issued and outstanding.  Since then, Unico has had the following sales of unregistered securities:

(1)

10,000,000 shares on October 14, 2009;

(2)

17,500,000 shares on October 16, 2009;

(7)

12,113,794 shares on November 3, 2009.

All of the shares in the seven stock issuances described above were issued to holders of convertible debentures of Unico, and they acquired the shares through converting amounts due and owing under the convertible debentures held by them at a conversion price equal to 50% of the bid price of Unico’s common stock on each date of conversion.  There were no underwriting discounts or commissions paid in connection with the conversion of securities.

In each transaction, Unico relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for transactions not involving any public offering, in issuing the shares.  The shares issued in each transaction are restricted securities for purposes of Rule 144, except to the extent that such securities could be issued without a restricted legend in reliance upon Rule 144(b)(1).  

Following the issuance of shares of Unico’s common stock described above, Unico has a total of 521,194,256 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding as of November 3, 2009.

Item 5.03  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws; Change in Fiscal Year

(a)

Effective November 2, 2009, the Board of Directors approved Amended and Restated By-Laws for Unico.  A copy of the Amended and Restated By-Laws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.13.  The By-Laws were amended and restated primarily for the purpose of updating them to comply with numerous changes in Arizona corporate law that have occurred over many years, and also to add or change certain provisions of the By-Laws for purposes believed to be appropriate by the Board of Directors.  A summary of the material changes in the Amended and Restated By-Laws includes the following:

(1)

Article I was amended to reflect the fact that the principal office of Unico is located in San Diego, California;

(2)

Article II, Section 1 was amended to change the annual meeting date of Shareholders to the fourth Friday in the month of June of each year;

(4)

Article II, Section 4 was revised to provide that notice of a shareholders meeting may also be sent electronically by email, and also to provide that if a new record date for an adjourned meeting is or must be fixed under applicable Arizona law, then notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to persons who are shareholders as of the new record date;

(5)

Article II, Section 5 was revised to provide that if the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to receive payment of a dividend, then one day before the effective date of the first notice to shareholders or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders.  It was also revised to provide that a determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a shareholders’ meeting is effective for adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it shall do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.  It also now provides that if a court orders a meeting adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting, the court may provide that the original record date continues in effect or the court may fix a new record date;

(6)

Article II, Section 6 has been revised to provide that a shareholders list at a shareholders meeting shall be arranged by voting group and within each voting group by class or series of shares.  It also has been revised to state that beginning two days after the notice of a meeting is given for which the shareholders list was prepared, and continuing through the meeting, the

(9)

Article III, Section 3 has been revised to add a requirement that during each fiscal quarter of the Unico, the Board of Directors shall meet at least once at such time and place as designated by the Board of Directors, and also to provide that an annual meeting of the Board of Directors may take the place of a quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors.  A provision was also added to state that directors may participate in a regular or special meeting through the use of any communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting;

(10)

Article III, Section 4 was revised to provide that special meetings of the Board of Directors may also be called at the request of the Chairman, and a provision was added stating that directors may participate in a regular or special meeting through the use of any communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during a meeting;

(11)

Article III, Section 5 was revised to provide that notice of any special meeting of the directors may also be sent electronically by email, and to delete the provision that Notice could be sent by telegram.  It was also revised to provide that the attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice at such meeting, unless the director at the beginning of the meeting or promptly on his arrival objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting.  It was also revised to provide that when notice of a special meeting of shareholders is given, that notice shall include the date, time and place of the meeting;

(15)

A new Section 12 was added to Article III specifying that the directors may elect one of the directors to serve as Chairman, and describing the responsibilities of the Chairman;
