DANVILLE, CA--(Marketwire - November 18, 2009) - S3 Investment Company, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ SIVC ]) today commented on the status of its consolidated financial report for the period ended September 30, 2009, which were scheduled to be posted to the Pink Sheets OTC Disclosure and News Service this week. Due to the turnover in the company's accounting personnel, the quarterly financials will be delayed approximately 30 days and are expected to be filed by December 15, 2009.

"The delay in filing S3's consolidated financial report was somewhat unavoidable given the timing of the transition to our new controller, but we remain committed to reporting financial information within the timeframes required by the Pink Sheets OTC Disclosure and News Service," said S3 Investment Company Chairman and CEO Jim Bickel. "We expect that our next quarterly filing, for the period ending December 31, 2009 will be prepared and submitted on time. Considering the ongoing success of our Redwood Capital subsidiary, including recently closed transactions, and the addition of our new Redwood Medical subsidiary, we will continue to stress detailed and timely financial disclosure for S3."

"As our accounting staff works on the financial reports, we expect to have several additional announcements regarding the business of S3's Redwood subsidiaries in the coming weeks," Mr. Bickel added.
