DANVILLE, CA--(Marketwire - September 23, 2009) - S3 Investment Company, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ SIVC ]) today announced the appointment of Karen Riessen as controller, replacing Lesly H. Mohr, who served in that position since April 2008. The primary area of responsibility for the controller is to ensure that the company meets the financial reporting necessary to maintain its "Current Information" status with the Pink Sheets OTC Disclosure and News Service.

Ms. Riessen brings considerable experience as controller for several venture funded start-up clients. This experience will be invaluable for S3 and its potential subsidiary clients. In her role, she has maintained monthly financial data, payroll and monthly and year-to-date financial statements. She has also prepared budget and cash forecasts, designed and implemented internal controls, software and conversion implementation, and policies and procedures manuals, audit and tax preparation, and maintained corporate documentation necessary for financial audits.

Under the direction of Ms. Mohr, S3 began preparing quarterly and annual financial reports and filing the information with the OTC Disclosure and News Service. In July 2009, the company was upgraded to the Current Information category at [ www.pinksheets.com ], which is classified as fully transparent. Ms. Riessen will work with S3 support staff to continue the periodic posting of financial information to the OTC Disclosure and News Service.

To assist with the transition, Ms. Mohr will continue to work with the company on a consulting basis through the end of the 2009 calendar year.

"We would first like to thank Lesly Mohr, who provided an invaluable service to the company, leading the successful effort to achieve Current Information status with the Pink Sheets OTC Disclosure and News Service," stated Jim Bickel, chairman and chief executive officer of S3 Investment Company. "There was a great deal of work involved in this process, and there is no doubt that it would have taken much longer without Lesly's efficiency and attention to detail. She is leaving us to be with her family as they move overseas, and we wish her only the best."

"At the same time, we would like to welcome Ms. Riessen as our new controller. She brings the experience necessary to help us maintain our reporting status with the OTC Disclosure and News Service, as well as to assist with related tasks for S3, its subsidiary operations and potential subsidiary clients. We look forward to her contributions to the company as our new controller," added Mr. Bickel.
