Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business Unico American Corporation is an insurance holding company that underwrites property and casualty insurance through its insurance company subsidiary; provides property, casualty, and health insurance through its agency subsidiaries; and provides insurance premium financing and membership association services through its other subsidiaries. Unico American Corporation is referred to herein as the "Company" or "Unico" and such references include both the corporation and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Unico was incorporated under the laws of Nevada in 1969. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unico American Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X for smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. Quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current quarter presentation. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect its reported amounts of assets and liabilities and its disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of its financial statements, as well as its reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant assumptions in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements relate to losses and loss adjustment expenses. While every effort is made to ensure the integrity of such estimates, actual results may differ. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company employs a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs for valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). Financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value are categorized based on the reliability of inputs for the valuation techniques. (See Note 7.) The Company has used the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair value disclosures for instruments carried at fair value: Investment securities, excluding long-term certificates of deposit, and short-term investments – Fair values are obtained from widely accepted third party vendors. The Company has used the following methods and assumptions for estimating fair value for other financial instruments not carried at fair value: Cash and cash equivalents– The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments. Long-term certificates of deposit – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these instruments are at amortized cost which approximates their fair value. Receivables, net – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments. Accrued expenses and other liabilities – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate the fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with initial maturity of 90 days or less. Cash equivalents include, but not limited to, custodial trust, bank money market and savings accounts. |

Repurchase of Common Stock - Effects on Stockholders' Equity | NOTE 2 – REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK – EFFECTS ON STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY On August 10, 2020, the Board authorized a share repurchase program (the “2020 Program”) for up to $5,000,000 of the currently outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2020 Program is effective immediately and replaces the Company’s existing share repurchase program that was adopted by the Board of Directors on December 19, 2008 (the “2008 Program”) to acquire from time to time up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchases under the 2020 Program may be made from time to time in the open market, through block trades, 10b5-1 trading plans, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise and in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The timing and actual number of the shares repurchased under the 2020 Program will depend on a variety of factors including price, market conditions and corporate and regulatory requirements. The Company intends to fund the share repurchases under the 2020 Program from cash on hand. The 2020 Program does not commit the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock and it may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company repurchased its shares under the 2020 Program and 2008 Program in unsolicited transactions as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 Program Number of shares repurchased 630 — 630 — Cost of shares repurchased Allocated to retained earnings $ 2,969 $ $ 2,969 $ Allocated to capital 310 — 310 — Total cost of shares repurchased $ 3,279 $ — $ 3,279 $ — 2008 Program Number of shares repurchased — — 978 356 Cost of shares repurchased Allocated to retained earnings $ $ $ 5,760 $ 1,946 Allocated to capital — — 480 175 Total cost of shares repurchased $ — $ — $ 6,240 $ 2,121 The Company has remaining authority under the 2020 Program to repurchase up to $4,996,721 of the currently outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of September 30, 2020. The Company has retired or will retire all stock repurchased under the 2020 Program and 2008 Program. |

Earnings Per Share | NOTE 3 – LOSS PER SHARE The following table represents the reconciliation of the Company's basic loss per share and diluted loss per share computations reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30 September 30 2020 2019 2020 2019 Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share Net income (loss) $ (17,940,488 ) $ 212,467 $ (19,419,128 ) $ (735,284 ) Weighted average shares outstanding 5,305,742 5,306,747 5,306,068 5,306,929 Basic earnings (loss) per share $ (3.38 ) $ 0.04 $ (3.66 ) $ (0.14 ) Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share Net income (loss) $ (17,940,488 ) $ 212,467 $ (19,419,128 ) $ (735,284 ) Weighted average shares outstanding 5,305,742 5,306,747 5,306,068 5,306,929 Diluted shares outstanding 5,305,742 5,306,747 5,306,068 5,306,929 Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ (3.38 ) $ 0.04 $ (3.66 ) $ (0.14 ) Basic earnings per share exclude the impact of common share equivalents and are based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share utilize the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common share dilution. When outstanding stock options are dilutive, they are treated as common share equivalents for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share and represent the difference between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. In loss periods, stock options are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, as the inclusion of stock options would have an anti-dilutive effect. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | NOTE 4 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Recently adopted standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by all leases, including those historically accounted for as operating leases. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 “Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU require certain existing disclosure requirements to be modified or removed, and certain new disclosure requirements to be added. In addition, this ASU allows entities to exercise more discretion when considering fair value measurement disclosures. This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact to the Company’s disclosures. Standards not yet adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses with a current expected credit loss model, which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 also requires enhanced disclosures for better understanding of significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements, but expects the primary changes to be (i) the use of the expected credit loss model for its premium receivables and reinsurance recoverables and (ii) the presentation of credit losses within the available-for-sale fixed maturities portfolio through an allowance method rather than as a direct write-down. ASU 2016-13 will primarily impact the Company’s available-for-sale fixed maturities portfolio and reinsurance recoverables. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging, and Leases.” ASU 2019-10 updated the effective date for implementing ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting entities, and that effective date will be for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Since the Company’s fixed income portfolio is invested primarily in higher rated bonds and the reinsurance is purchased from financially strong reinsurers, the Company believes the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |

Accounting For Income Taxes | NOTE 5 – ACCOUNTING FOR TAXES The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries file consolidated federal and state income tax returns. Pursuant to a tax allocation agreement, the Company’s subsidiaries, Crusader Insurance Company (“Crusader”) and American Acceptance Corporation (“AAC”), are allocated taxes or tax credits in the case of losses, at current corporate rates based on their own taxable income or loss. The Company files income tax returns under U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal income tax authorities for tax returns filed starting at taxable year 2016 and California state income tax authorities for tax returns filed starting at taxable year 2015. There are no ongoing examinations of income tax returns by federal or state tax authorities. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities and, therefore, had not accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities. However, if interest and penalties would need to be accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities, such amounts would be recognized as a component of federal income tax expense. The fluctuation in the income tax rate as a percentage of pre-tax loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, is primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets on federal net operating losses discussed below. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had deferred tax assets of $7,318,041 generated from $34,847,822 of federal net operating loss carryforwards that will begin to expire in 2035 and deferred tax assets of $2,286,564 generated from state net operating loss carryforwards which expire between 2028 and 2040. In connection with preparation of its financial statements, the Company periodically performs an analysis of future income projections to determine the adequacy of the valuation allowance. In light of the net losses that were generated in recent years, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has established a valuation allowance for the aggregate amount of the federal and state net operating losses and other deferred tax assets in the amount of $9,849,484 that, in management’s judgment, are not more likely than not to be realized. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company carried a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets generated from federal and state net operating losses in the amount of $600,000 and $1,931,665, respectively. As a California based insurance company, Crusader is obligated to pay a premium tax on gross premiums written in all states that Crusader is admitted. Premium taxes are deferred and amortized as the related premiums are earned. The premium tax is in lieu of state franchise taxes and is not included in the provision for state taxes. |

On September 29, 2020, the real estate was listed for sale at a price of $12,999,000. Upon the listing, the Company stopped recording the depreciation expense on the Calabasas building and the leasehold improvements in the Calabasas building. The carrying value of the real estate held for sale less expected disposal costs do not present impairment issues. Through the date of the real estate listing, depreciation on the Calabasas building was computed using the straight line method over 39 years. Depreciation on furniture, fixtures, and equipment in the Calabasas building is computed using the straight line method over 3 to 15 years. Through the date of the real estate listing, amortization of leasehold improvements in the Calabasas building was computed using the shorter of the useful life of the leasehold improvements or the remaining years of the lease. Depreciation and amortization expense September 30, 2020, was $190,916 and $567,639 respectively, and for the three and nine months ended 30, 2019, was $132,664 and $402,769, respectively. For the three and nine months ended 30, 2020, the Calabasas building generated rental revenue from non-affiliated tenants in the amount of , respectively, and for the three and nine months ended 30, 2019, rental revenue from non-affiliated tenants in the amount of $43, ,545, respectively, which is included in “Other income” from insurance company operation in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended 30, 2020, the Calabasas building incurred operating expenses (including depreciation) in the amount of $200,067 and $573,100, respectively, and, for the three and nine months ended 30, 2019, it incurred operating expenses of $126,962 and $482,257, respectively, which are included in “Other operating expenses” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The total square footage of the Calabasas building is 46,884, including common areas. As of September 30, 2020, 6,942 square feet of the Calabasas building was leased to non-affiliated entities and 7,539 square feet was vacant and available to be leased to non-affiliated entities. The Company capitalizes certain computer software costs purchased from outside vendors for internal use or incurred internally to upgrade the existing systems. These costs also include configuration and customization activities, coding, testing and installation. Training costs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, while upgrade and enhancements are capitalized if it is probable that such expenditure will result in additional functionality. The capitalized costs are not depreciated until the software is placed into production. |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company employs a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs for the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). Financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value are categorized based on the reliability of inputs for the valuation techniques as follows: Level 1 – Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Level 2 – Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; or valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability as of the reporting date. Level 3 – Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect the Company’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the financial assets and financial liabilities as of the reporting date. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Thus, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Level 1 or Level 2) or unobservable (Level 3). The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The following table presents information about the Company’s financial instruments and their estimated fair values, which are measured on a recurring basis, and are allocated among the three levels within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total September 30, 2020 Financial instruments: Available-for-sale fixed maturities: U.S. Treasury securities $ 10,376,994 $ — $ — $ 10,376,994 Corporate securities — 47,946,647 — 47,946,647 Agency mortgage backed securities — 23,345,593 — 23,345,593 Equity securities 1,557,856 — — 1,557,856 Short-term investments 200,000 — — 200,000 Total financial instruments at fair value $ 12,134,850 $ 71,292,240 $ — $ 83,427,090 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2019 Financial instruments: Available-for-sale fixed maturities: U.S. Treasury securities $ 15,235,332 $ — $ — $ 15,235,332 Corporate securities — 43,029,333 — 43,029,333 Agency mortgage backed securities — 25,235,045 — 25,235,045 Short-term investments 2,196,815 — — 2,196,815 Total financial instruments at fair value $ 17,432,147 $ 68,264,378 $ — $ 85,696,525 Fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. The Company recognizes transfers between levels at either the actual date of the event or a change in circumstances that caused the transfer. The Company did not have any transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. As a result of the spread of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, economic uncertainties have arisen which are likely to impact the fair value of investments, day to day administration of the business and premium volume. While the Company does not believe it is exposed to substantial risk from coronavirus-related claims under the insurance policies written by Crusader, it is likely that the fair value of its investment portfolio will be adversely affected by the volatility in the capital markets, as well as general economic conditions as a result of the coronavirus and governmental responses to the pandemic. The financial impact of these uncertainties is unknown at this time. |

A. (“Comerica”), pursuant to the reinsurance trust agreement among Crusader, United Specialty Insurance Company (“USIC”) and Comerica to secure payment of Crusader’s liabilities and performance of its obligations under the reinsurance arrangement with USIC. The estimated fair value and amortized cost of that security was $723,625 and $688,147 on September 30, 2020, respectively. A summary of the unrealized gains (losses) on investments in fixed maturities carried at fair value and the applicable deferred federal income taxes are shown below: September 30 December 31 2020 2019 Gross unrealized gains on fixed maturities $ 3,525,566 $ 1,500,333 Gross unrealized losses on fixed maturities (207,887 ) (3,034 ) Net unrealized gains on fixed maturities 3,317,679 1,497,299 Deferred federal tax expense (696,712 ) (314,433 ) Net unrealized gains, net of deferred income taxes $ 2,620,967 $ 1,182,866 A summary of estimated fair value, gross unrealized losses, and number of securities in a gross unrealized loss position by the length of time in which the securities have continually been in that position is shown below: Less than 12 Months 12 Months or Longer Estimated Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Number of Securities Estimated Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Number of Securities September 30, 2020 Corporate securities $ 3,431,312 $ (203,965 ) 6 $ — $ — — Agency mortgage-backed securities 1,215,171 (3,922 ) 2 — — — Total $ 4,646,483 $ (207,887 ) 8 $ — $ — — Less than 12 Months 12 Months or Longer Estimated Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Number of Securities Estimated Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Number of Securities December 31, 2019 U.S. Treasury securities $ 1,996,562 $ (252 ) 1 $ 1,002,031 $ (775 ) 1 Corporate securities 999,818 (57 ) 1 — — — Agency mortgage-backed securities 750,058 (1,950 ) 2 — — — Total $ 3,746,438 $ (2,259 ) 4 $ 1,002,031 $ (775 ) 1 The Company closely monitors its investments. If an unrealized loss is determined to be other-than-temporary, it is written off as a realized loss through the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s methodology of assessing other-than-temporary impairments is based on security-specific analysis as of the balance sheet date and considers various factors including the length of time to maturity and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether the debtor is current on its contractually obligated interest and principal payments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, one fixed maturity corporate security experienced a significant decline in market value; the market and book value of that security at September 30, 2020, was $744,750 and $911,492, respectively. The unrealized losses on all securities as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, were determined to be temporary. Although the Company does not intend to sell its fixed maturity investments prior to maturity, the Company may sell investment securities from time to time in response to cash flow requirements, economic, regulatory, and/or market conditions or investment securities may be called by their issuers prior to the securities’ maturity. The fixed maturity securities previously held by the Company were sold and called prior to maturity as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2020 2019 2020 2019 Fixed maturities securities sold Number of securities sold 6 — 7 3 Amortized cost of sold securities $ 2,923,386 $ — $ 3,524,702 $ 2,997,098 Realized gains (losses) on sales $ 30,057 $ — $ 31,171 $ (12,679 ) Fixed maturities securities called Number of securities called 1 — 3 1 Amortized cost of called securities $ 249,998 $ — $ 1,949,536 $ 999,982 Realized gains on calls $ 2 $ — $ 464 $ 18 The unrealized gains or losses from fixed maturities are reported as “Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss,” which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of any deferred tax effect. The Company started investing in common stock equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company’s equity securities allocation is intended to enhance the return of and provide diversification for the total investment portfolio. A summary of equity securities is shown below: September 30 December 31 2020 2019 Cost $ 1,515,227 $ — Unrealized gain 42,629 — Fair market value of equity securities $ 1,557,856 $ — The primary cause for the increase in fair value of the Company’s equity securities portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was the overall increase in equity markets during the period. The Company’s investment in certificates of deposit included $598,000 of brokered certificates of deposit as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The following securities from three different banks represent statutory deposits that are assigned to and held by the California State Treasurer and the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Nevada.

Lines of insurance in which claims are settled relatively quickly are called "short-tail" lines. It is generally more difficult to estimate loss reserves for long-tail lines because of the long period of time that elapses between the occurrence of a claim and its final disposition and the difficulty of estimating the settlement value of the claim. Crusader’s short-tail lines consist of its property coverages, and its long-tail lines consist of its liability coverages. However, Crusader’s long-tail liability claims tend to be settled relatively quicker than other long-tail lines not underwritten by Crusader, such as workers’ compensation, professional liability, umbrella liability, and medical malpractice. |

Contingencies | NOTE 10 – CONTINGENCIES The Company, by virtue of the nature of the business conducted by it, becomes involved in numerous legal proceedings as either plaintiff or defendant. From time to time, the Company is required to resort to legal proceedings against vendors providing services to the Company or against to enforce collection of premiums, commissions, Crusader is also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, requests for information, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings by state regulators and others. Crusader receives numerous requests, orders for documents, and information in connection with various aspects of its regulated activities. Regulatory and governmental requests for information, inquires, certain examinations and investigations are routinely handed by Crusader. Crusader may involve outside counsel in regulatory matters depending on the nature of the matter. The Company establishes reserves for lawsuits, regulatory actions, and other contingencies for which the Company is able to estimate its potential exposure and believes a loss is probable. For loss contingencies believed to be reasonably possible, the Company discloses the nature of the loss contingency, an estimate of the possible loss, a range of loss, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Likewise, the Company is sometimes named as a cross-defendant in litigation, which is principally directed against an insured who was issued a policy of insurance directly or indirectly through Crusader. Incidental actions related to disputes concerning the issuance or non-issuance of individual policies are sometimes brought by customers or others. These items are also handled on a routine basis by counsel, and they do not generally affect the operations of the Company. Management is confident that the ultimate outcome of pending litigation should not have an adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. The Company vigorously defends itself unless a reasonable settlement appears appropriate. |

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business Unico American Corporation is an insurance holding company that underwrites property and casualty insurance through its insurance company subsidiary; provides property, casualty, and health insurance through its agency subsidiaries; and provides insurance premium financing and membership association services through its other subsidiaries. Unico American Corporation is referred to herein as the "Company" or "Unico" and such references include both the corporation and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Unico was incorporated under the laws of Nevada in 1969. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unico American Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X for smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. Quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current quarter presentation. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect its reported amounts of assets and liabilities and its disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of its financial statements, as well as its reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant assumptions in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements relate to losses and loss adjustment expenses. While every effort is made to ensure the integrity of such estimates, actual results may differ. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company employs a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs for valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). Financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value are categorized based on the reliability of inputs for the valuation techniques. (See Note 7.) The Company has used the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair value disclosures for instruments carried at fair value: Investment securities, excluding long-term certificates of deposit, and short-term investments – Fair values are obtained from widely accepted third party vendors. The Company has used the following methods and assumptions for estimating fair value for other financial instruments not carried at fair value: Cash and cash equivalents– The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments. Long-term certificates of deposit – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these instruments are at amortized cost which approximates their fair value. Receivables, net – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments. Accrued expenses and other liabilities – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate the fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with initial maturity of 90 days or less. Cash equivalents include, but not limited to, custodial trust, bank money market and savings accounts. |

Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. Quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current quarter presentation. |
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements | Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect its reported amounts of assets and liabilities and its disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of its financial statements, as well as its reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant assumptions in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements relate to losses and loss adjustment expenses. While every effort is made to ensure the integrity of such estimates, actual results may differ. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company employs a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs for valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). Financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value are categorized based on the reliability of inputs for the valuation techniques. (See Note 7.) The Company has used the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair value disclosures for instruments carried at fair value: Investment securities, excluding long-term certificates of deposit, and short-term investments – Fair values are obtained from widely accepted third party vendors. The Company has used the following methods and assumptions for estimating fair value for other financial instruments not carried at fair value: Cash and cash equivalents– The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments. Long-term certificates of deposit – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these instruments are at amortized cost which approximates their fair value. Receivables, net – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments. Accrued expenses and other liabilities – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate the fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments. |
Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with initial maturity of 90 days or less. Cash equivalents include, but not limited to, custodial trust, bank money market and savings accounts. |

Repurchase Of Common Stock | |
Common Stock Repurchase | On August 10, 2020, the Board authorized a share repurchase program (the “2020 Program”) for up to $5,000,000 of the currently outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2020 Program is effective immediately and replaces the Company’s existing share repurchase program that was adopted by the Board of Directors on December 19, 2008 (the “2008 Program”) to acquire from time to time up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchases under the 2020 Program may be made from time to time in the open market, through block trades, 10b5-1 trading plans, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise and in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The timing and actual number of the shares repurchased under the 2020 Program will depend on a variety of factors including price, market conditions and corporate and regulatory requirements. The Company intends to fund the share repurchases under the 2020 Program from cash on hand. The 2020 Program does not commit the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock and it may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company repurchased its shares under the 2020 Program and 2008 Program in unsolicited transactions as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 Program Number of shares repurchased 630 — 630 — Cost of shares repurchased Allocated to retained earnings $ 2,969 $ $ 2,969 $ Allocated to capital 310 — 310 — Total cost of shares repurchased $ 3,279 $ — $ 3,279 $ — 2008 Program Number of shares repurchased — — 978 356 Cost of shares repurchased Allocated to retained earnings $ $ $ 5,760 $ 1,946 Allocated to capital — — 480 175 Total cost of shares repurchased $ — $ — $ 6,240 $ 2,121 |
