DANVILLE, CA--(Marketwire - July 9, 2009) - S3 Investment Company, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ SIVC ]) CEO Jim Bickel commented today on the completion of the last requirements to achieve full transparency with the Pink Sheets OTC Disclosure and News Service and, as a result, the company's upgrade to the "Current Information" category at [ www.pinksheets.com ].

Earlier this year, S3 identified the Pink Sheets OTC Disclosure and News Service as the channel it would use to post its current financial information and began the reporting process with the filing of annual reports with audited financials for the 2007 and 2008 fiscal years. The company has subsequently filed its periodic quarterly financial results through the service. The final steps needed were to submit a signed attorney letter agreement and post a required attorney opinion letter, and these were completed on June 30, 2009.

"We are pleased to have completed all of the steps required to be placed in the 'Current Information' designation through the OTC Disclosure and News Service," said Mr. Bickel. "Transparency is a major focus of S3, and we believe that as our wholly owned Redwood Capital subsidiary begins to realize its full potential, reporting the company's financial results will better enable potential shareholders to see the value proposition presented by S3 Investment Company. Reporting through the OTC Disclosure and News Service also demonstrates a high level of fiscal responsibility, since a majority of the costs associated with financial disclosure are eliminated by filing in this manner."

Pink OTC Markets Inc., which operates [ www.pinksheets.com ] and related websites, provides the leading inter-dealer electronic quotation and trading system in the over-the-counter (OTC) securities market.

The requirements for achieving "Current Information" through the OTC Disclosure and News Service include subscribing to the service; publishing disclosure that complies with the guidelines contained in "Pink OTC Markets' Guidelines for Providing Adequate Current Information," including the posting of quarterly and annual financial statements through the OTC Disclosure and News Service; publishing a quarterly letter from an attorney stating that the issuer's disclosure meets specified requirements and identifies the person responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; and maintaining an SEC registered transfer agent.

The quarterly and annual financial statements must be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements but are not required to be audited.
