UNICO AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
---------------------
The interim consolidated financial statements at June
30, 1999 and for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited, but include all
adjustments which the Company considers necessary for a
fair presentation. The December 31, 1998 balance sheet was
derived from the Company's audited financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements are for
the interim periods and do not include all disclosures
normally provided in annual financial statements, and
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1998. The accompanying
unaudited interim financial statements for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results which can be expected for the
entire year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
---------------------------
The Company is not exposed to any legal matters at this
time.
NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
------------
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance
with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS
109"), which requires an asset and liability approach to
accounting for income taxes. Under SFAS 109, deferred
tax assets or liabilities are computed on the difference
between the financial statement and income tax bases of
assets and liabilities ("temporary differences") using
the enacted marginal tax rate. Deferred income tax expenses
or benefits are based on the changes in the deferred tax asset
or liability from period to period.
Management has determined that it is not likely that
the Company will be able to realize all the tax benefits
from available net operating loss carryforwards and has,
therefore, provided a valuation allowance of an equal
amount. The income tax expense of $9,000 reflected in
the Statement of Operations for the quarter ended June
30, 1998 represents state income taxes payable by United
Marketing Solutions, Inc. on first quarter profits that
are not impacted by the net operating loss carryforwards.
NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK
------------
On May 28, 1999, the Company acquired 100% ownership in
Silver Valley Energy, Inc. (SVE) in consideration for
4,580,000 restricted shares of common stock that was
issued September 30, 1999. SVE owns oil and gas lease
rights on approximately 1,340 acres in Pecos County,
Texas. The lease rights are renewable for an indefinite
period of time. The lease rights have been appraised by
certified petroleum geologists and registered professional
engineers at a present value of $40,027,951. SVE acquired
the oil and gas lease rights June 25, 1999. These
transactions are recognized in the financial statements as
of June 30, 1999, including the stock issued September 30,
1999. SVC accounted for the oil and gas lease rights on the
purchase method of accounting.
The Company also made a 3 for 1 reverse stock split
immediately before acquiring SVE. This 3 for 1 reverse
stock split has been recognized in these financial
statements retroactive to December 31, 1997 for
comparative purposes.
The stock transfer agent was changed May in 1999. In
the transition from the prior stock transfer agent, an
additional 51,888 shares of issued and outstanding stock
came to light. Management has not been able to identify or
explain who these outstanding shares are for or for what
purpose they were issued, or when.
NOTE 5 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS OF SUBSIDIARY
-------------------------------------
During 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to
sell its principal operating subsidiary United Marketing
Solutions, Inc. (UMSI), formerly United Coupon
Corporation. Accordingly, the results of operations for
1999 and 1998 are presented showing the results of
continuing operations and discontinued operations, net of
applicable income taxes (income tax benefits). UMSI was
fully disposed of and sold effective April 1, 1999.
NOTE 5 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS OF SUBSIDIARY - Continued

A summary of the subsidiary's operations for the three

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
---------------------------
Forward-Looking statements, based on management's
current views and assumptions, are made throughout the
Management's Discussion and Analysis and elsewhere in
this report to stockholders. These statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from historical results
and those presently anticipated or projected. Among the
factors that may affect operating results are the following:
success of the Company's change in focus; competitive
environment; and general economic conditions.
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998 contains
further discussions on these matters.
Results of Operations
---------------------
On April 1, 1999, the Company sold off its only
subsidiary - United Marketing Solutions, Inc., which was
its only source of revenue at the time. So, there was no
revenue in the three months ending June 30, 1999, down
$1,965,269 from the three months ending March 31, 1999.
Future outlook
--------------
On May 28, 1999, the Company in exchange for stock
acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Silver Valley Energy, Inc., a private held Texas
corporation. Silver Valley Energy, Inc. holds an
undeveloped oil, gas and mineral lease on approximately
1,340 acres in Pecos County, Texas. The oil and gas
property has been appraised and classified by Nova
Petroleum Resource Co., Certified Petroleum Geologists
and Registered Professional Engineers. The report
classifies the petroleum reserves as proved undeveloped
reserves containing 55,699,072 MCF natural gas, at a net
present value of $40,027,951.
With this and other planned acquisitions through the
issuance of common stock and additional external
financing, management is optimistic the Company will be
profitable in the near future.
