IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND (a) The name of the persons filing this statement are Halo Technology Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Halo") and David M. Howitt ("Howitt").

(b) The address of Halo's principal executive offices is 200 Railroad Avenue, Third Floor, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830. Howitt's principal business address is c/o Meriwether Group, 2701 North Vaughn Street, Suite 435, Portland, Oregon.

Set forth on Schedule A is the name and present principal occupation or employment, and the name, principal business, and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted, of each of the directors and executive officers of Halo as of the date hereof. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION On March 14, 2006, Howitt purchased 59,000 shares of Common Stock using personal funds for an aggregate purchase price of $25,960. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION (a) - (b) On March 14, 2006, Halo entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among UCA Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo, and Unify. The Merger Agreement was subsequently amended on May 24, 2006 ("Amendment No. 1") and July 5, 2006 ("Amendment No. 2"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the conditions set forth therein (including approval of the transaction by the shareholders of Unify), Merger Sub was to be merged with and into Unify (the "Merger"), with Unify surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Halo. As an inducement for Halo to enter into the Merger Agreement and in consideration thereof, each of Special Situations Funds, AWM Investment Company, Inc. and Diker Management LLC and any entity owned or controlled by any of them (collectively, the "Shareholders"), each a shareholder of Unify, entered into a shareholder voting agreement (the "Stockholder Agreement") with Halo. Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholder Agreement, the Shareholders agreed to vote 10,108,268 shares of Common Stock and any shares which might be issued to them prior to the consummation of the Merger at exercise of any warrants to purchase 2,272,714 shares by the Shareholders. The aggregate number of shares covered by the Stockholder Agreement (including exercise of the warrants) is equal to 12,380,982 shares, which represents approximately 42% of the shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act. CUSIP No. 904745101 Page 5 of 7 --------- On September 13, 2006, Halo, Merger Sub and Unify entered into an agreement terminating the Merger Agreement (the "Termination Agreement"). Pursuant to its terms, the Stockholder Agreement terminated upon the termination of the Merger Agreement. (c) Not applicable. (d) Not applicable (e) Not applicable. (f) Not applicable. (g) Not applicable. (h) Not applicable. (i) Not applicable. (j) Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons currently have no plans or proposals which relate to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a) - (j) of Schedule 13D (although the Reporting Persons reserve the right to develop such plans). References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement as set forth above in this Item 4 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Merger Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement, respectively, included as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively, to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on March 23, 2006, and incorporated in this Item 4 in their entirety where such references and descriptions appear. Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 were filed as Exhibit 10.123 to Halo's Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 24, 2006 and Exhibit 10.125 to Halo's Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 11, 2006, respectively, and the Termination Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.131 to Halo's Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 19, 2006. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER ------- ------------------------------------ (a) - (b) Because of the termination of the Stockholder Agreement, Halo does not beneficially own any shares of Common Stock. Howitt owns directly 59,000 shares of common stock of Unify. (c) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, other than the termination of the Stockholder Agreement, no transactions in the class of securities reported have been effected during the past sixty days by any person named pursuant to Item 2. (d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities of Unify. (e) On September 13, 2006 Halo, Merger Sub and Unify entered into the Termination Agreement thereby terminating the Stockholder Agreement. Halo currently owns no outstanding common stock of Unify and as a result is no longer a beneficial owner required to file a Schedule 13D. Howitt currently owns less than one percent of the outstanding common stock of Unify and as a result is no longer a beneficial owner required to file a Schedule 13D. ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings, or relationships between the person named in Item 2 and any person with respect to any securities of Unify, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding or proxies.
