The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws provide that the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, indemnify any director, officer, employee and agent of the corporation against expenses incurred by such person by reason of the fact that he serves or has served the corporation in such capacity.

Item 8. Exhibits.



The exhibits to the Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index

Item 9. Undertakings.



The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:



(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:



(a) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities

Act of 1933;



(b) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;



(c) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs 1(a) and 1(b) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by this paragraph is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.



(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.



(3) To remove registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.



(4) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.



(5) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of

1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 or Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.



(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons or the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will

be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Gentlemen:



I have acted as special counsel to ABSS, Corp. (f/k/a Unico, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with the issuance of 836,364 shares of its Common Stock, par value $.01 (the "Common Stock") to certain professionals, advisors and one former employee of the Corporation. I have been advised by you that such shares of Common Stock will be registered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement").



Please be advised that, based upon the Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted in a Written Consent to Action by the sole Director of the Corporation on May 28, 2002, I am of the opinion that the Corporation's Common Stock to be registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and issued pursuant to the foregoing Resolutions, has been duly authorized by the Corporation and that such Common Stock, when issued and delivered to the aforesaid professionals, advisors and former employee will be validly issued by the Corporation, fully paid and non-assessable.



I hereby consent to the use of my name in the Registration Statement in the section entitled "Interest of Named Experts and Counsel" and the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement.



Yours very truly,
