S3 INVESTMENT COMPANY, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2006 and 2005


NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION


This summary of significant accounting policies of S3 Investment Company, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.


a.

Organization and Business Activities


S3 Investment Company, Inc. ("the Company" or "SEIH") was incorporated under the laws of the State of California. It was originally incorporated with the name of Retail Windows, Inc. on April 19, 2000 to engage in any lawful activity as shall be appropriate under laws of the State of California. On June 30, 2001 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Axtion Foods, Inc. Prior to April 2003, Axtion Foods, Inc. was engaged in the development, manufacturing and distribution of health bars and health drinks. The business plan was not fully implemented and on April 16, 2003 Axtion Foods, Inc. changed its name to S3I Holdings, Inc. and acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Securesoft Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, making Securesoft Systems, Inc (Securesoft) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.


Securesoft Systems, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated in September 1999. Securesoft developed and marketed enterprise compliance and risk management software solutions, but discontinued operations in the last quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.   It subsequently filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 7 of the Universal Commercial Code.


On April 12, 2004 the Company's Board of Directors elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a business development company ("BDC"), the Company was required to maintain at least 70% of its assets invested in "eligible portfolio companies", which are loosely defined as any domestic company which is not publicly traded or that has assets less than $4 million.  Based on the BDC format, Securesoft became the first portfolio company.  The Company added two new portfolio Investments in November, 2004: Sino UJE, LTD., a Hong Kong company, and Redwood Capital, Inc., a privately held investment advisory group.  Chris Bickel, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, was the original founder though no longer owner of Sino and was therefore familiar with the opportunities that exist for Sino in the China market place.  Redwood Capital, Inc. was acquire d because of its presence in China and its connections with the Chinese investment banking market.     On October 12, 2004 the Company changes its name to S3 Investment Company, Inc. to properly reflect the nature of its business.


In August 2005, the Board of Directors determined that the Company’s continued focus on operations outside the United States, and the limited nature of the Company’s portfolio, did not lend itself to the structure of a business development company nor require reporting under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Further, the Company’s management had several discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission during which the Commission expressed the opinion that the Company’s capital structure was in violation of certain provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940; namely, that the Company’s preferred stock was issued in violation of Section 18 and convertible debentures were issued in violation of Section 61.  On August 26, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a motion to withdraw the Company’s election to be treated as Business Development Company under the 1940 Act and on April 5, 2006 the Company’ s shareholders approved the withdrawal petition.  On April 6, 2006, the Company filed an N-54C, which formally withdrew the Company’s BDC election.





As a result of the Company’s BDC withdrawal, the Company now files consolidated financial statements that include each of its controlled subsidiaries (See Changes in Accounting Practices below).


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of S3 Investment Company, Inc., Redwood Capital, Inc. and Sino UJE, Ltd.  All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.


Withdrawal as a Business Development Company


On April 12, 2004, the Company filed an election with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to become a business development company pursuant to Section 54 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.  On August 26, 2005, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the proposal to withdraw the Company’s election to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) as soon as practicable so that it could begin conducting business as an operating company rather than as a business development company subject to the Investment Company Act.  On April 5, 2006, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock approved the proposal to withdraw the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC, and on April 6, 2006, a Notification of Withdrawal was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The change in the Company’s status eliminates the Company’s ability to utilize the & #147;fair value” method of accounting for subsidiaries that is required of investment companies.


Significant change in method of accounting


The election to withdraw the Company’s election as a BDC under the Investment Company Act has resulted in a significant change in the Company’s required method of accounting. Investment company financial statement presentation and accounting utilizes the “fair value method of accounting” for recording ownership in portfolio or subsidiary companies.  This treatment requires that BDCs value their investments at market value as opposed to historical cost.  With the Company’s withdrawal from the Investment Company Act, the required financial statement presentation and accounting for securities held will be either the equity method or consolidation of accounting depending on the classification of the investment and the Company’s ownership percentage.  


Effect


As an operating company, the Company must consolidate its financial statements with subsidiaries, thus eliminating the fair value reporting required by BDC’s. As a result, in accordance with FAS 154, the accompanying financial statements have been presented on an operating and consolidated basis for all periods presented on a retrospective basis.  The effect to the statement of operations for the prior period based on the consolidated comparison are as follows:


The statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2005 has been adjusted to include the subsidiaries Sino UJE and Redwood Capital, which were included only as portfolio companies carried at their fair market value in the September 30, 2005 annual report previously filed.  As a result of consolidating these entities, operating expenses increased by $245,084, and the other expense decreased by $666,487.  Combined, these changes resulted in September 30, 2005 loss of $66,995 becoming a profit $109,241.


NOTE 2 –  GOING CONCERN


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company’s current assets exceed current liabilities by approximately $304,423, but the Company has had recurring operating losses for the past several years resulting in an accumulated deficit of $6,206,440 at September 30, 2006.  The Company has discontinued the operations of one of its subsidiaries so as to eliminate continued losses from that source.  Generated revenues from sales and profits of its two other subsidiary companies will supplement and eventually replace money raised through financing.  These factors combined, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management has taken various steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue its operations for the next twelve months.

 



In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


NOTE 3 – MARKETABLE SECURITIES


Pursuant to SFAS 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classification at each balance sheet date. The classification of those securities and the related accounting policies are as follows:


Trading securities: Trading securities are held for resale in anticipation of short-term (generally 90 days or less) fluctuations in market prices. Trading securities, consisting primarily of actively traded equity securities, are stated at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in income.


Available-for-sale-securities: Available-for-sale securities consist of marketable equity securities not classified as trading securities.  Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related deferred tax effect, are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.


Dividends on marketable equity securities are recognized in income when declared. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of the actual cost of the securities sold.


The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Redwood Capital, provides investment banking services to Chinese companies seeking access to U.S. and foreign capital.  Redwood receives, as payment for services, both cash consideration and stock in the respective entity.  The stock received is carried as an investment and reflects the value of the stock on the date received.  Any impairment of value due to declining stock price is recorded as “unrealized loss.”  Realized gains or losses are recorded on disposition of the stock.  At September 30, 2006, the Company’s investment consisted of 90,722 shares of Fushi International, Inc. (OTC: FSIN), which was originally recorded at the issue price of $0.10 per share, or $907,220.  During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $0.0246 per share, or $223,220, to reflect the closing bid price of Fushi International, Inc. stock on June 30, 2006.  As of th e quarter ended September the Company recorded an additional unrealized loss of $22,800 to reflect the closing bid price of $0.07 per share as of September 30, 2006.  



NOTE 4 – CONTRACTS RECEIVABLE


The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Redwood Capital, generated commission income of $145,000 for investment banking services.  As of September 30, 2006 the fee had not been collected.  As a result the Company has taken an allowance of $145,000 and is showing $0.00 as a net receivable.  The client has delayed the payment of the fee so Redwood Capital and a Chinese partner have taken them to court in China.  Redwood Capital expects the amount to be collected.




NOTE 5 – GOODWILL


Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired through acquisitions. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 issued in June 2001, goodwill recorded by the Company has not been amortized and will be evaluated on an annual basis, or sooner if deemed necessary, in connection with other long-lived assets, for potential impairment.


As previously discussed, during the fiscal year ending Jun 30, 2005, the Company acquired the business and all related assets of Sino UJE, Ltd. and Redwood Capital, Inc., unrelated companies.  The purchase price of $161,613 was satisfied by the Company issuing common and preferred stock.  The acquisition was an arm’s length transaction and has been accounted for using the purchase method.


The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and equity assumed at the date of acquisition.  The purchase price allocation is based upon management’s best estimate of the relative fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.


General

S3 Investment Company, Inc. (“the Company” or “SEIH”) was incorporated under the laws of California under the name of Retail Windows, Inc. on April 19, 2000 to engage in any lawful activity as shall be appropriate under laws of the State of California.  On June 30, 2001 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Axtion Foods, Inc.  Prior to April 2003, Axtion Foods, Inc. was engaged in the development, manufacturing and distribution of health bars and health drinks. The business plan was not fully implemented and on April 16, 2003 Axtion Foods, Inc. changed its name to S3I Holdings, Inc. and pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement (Agreement) closed the definitive agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Securesoft Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, making Securesoft Systems, Inc (Securesoft) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and exchanging al l of Securesoft’s capital stock for shares of Company’s authorized but un-issued shares of common stock as provided in Agreement.

Further in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, the controlling shareholders of the Company surrendered their stock in exchange for transfer of all right, title and interest to the sports nutrition products developed by the company since its inception.  In accordance with the agreement, it was the intention of the parties that the company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Securesoft in exchange solely for the number of shares of the Company’s authorized but un-issued common stock and that the exchange qualify as a tax-free reorganization under section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related sections there under; and the exchange qualify as a transaction in securities exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act of 1933 and under the applicable securities laws of each state or jurisdiction where the shareholders reside.

Securesoft Systems, Inc.’s operations were discontinued during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

The Company presently has two subsidiaries: Redwood Capital, Inc. and Sino UJE, LTD.


Redwood Capital, Inc., a privately-held investment advisory group, was acquired during November, 2004. S3 Investment acquired 100% of Redwood Capital, Inc. to participate in the fast growing investment banking market in China.  Redwood Capital specializes in Investment Banking for privately-held Chinese companies and has offices in China and the United States.   

The Company acquired 51% of the common stock of Sino UJE, LTD, a Hong Kong corporation during November, 2004. Sino has an extensive distribution network in China. It distributes medical and industrial supplies for a group of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) in Europe and the US that are exclusively represented in China by Sino.  Sino was acquired from YaSheng for 5% of the outstanding stock of the company, a ratio that must be maintained until July of 2008.

Plan of Operation

On April 12, 2004 the Company’s filed an election with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission to become a business development company (“BDC”) pursuant to Section 54 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.  On August 26, 2005, the Board of Directors unanimously approved a proposal to withdraw the Company’s election to be treated as a business development company as soon as practicable so that the Company could begin conducting business as an operating company rather than as a business development company subject to the Investment Company Act.  On April 5, 2006, a Special Meeting of the S3 Investment Company shareholders was held to consider and vote upon a proposal to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors to withdraw the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC and the proposal was approved.  On April 6, 2006 a Notification of Withdrawal was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission so that the Company could begin conducting business as an operating company rather than a BDC subject to the Investment Company Act.

 


 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, Redwood Capital completed a reverse merger transaction with Dalian Fushi Enterprise Group, Co., Ltd.  Redwood Capital has received fees and stock for the services that were performed in arranging this transaction.  Redwood Capital has a number of other clients in the pipeline and through its present and future deal flow will be able to repay the $523,206 that has been advanced to them by the Company as well as contribute a significant dividend to the Company.


Sino UJE, Ltd. has become cash positive and anticipates in the coming fiscal year commencing the repayment of the credit line of $436,080 that has been advanced to them by the Company.  


Results of Operations


Three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to three months ended September 30, 2005


During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company experienced a net loss of $189,660 or approximately ($0.00009) per share compared to a net gain of $109,241 or approximately $0.0001 per share for the same period last year. The Company generated $744,924 of revenue in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to $170,993 of revenue for the same period ended September 30, 2005.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of September 30, 2006 the Company had working capital of $304,423.  The Company has accumulated $6,206,440 of net operating losses through September 30, 2006, which may be used to reduce taxes in future years through 2026. The use of these losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carry-forwards.  The potential tax benefit of the net operating loss carry-forwards have been offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. Under continuing operations the Company has not yet established revenues to cover its operating costs.  Management believes that the Company will soon be able to generate revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs through the operations of its present subsidiaries.  In the event the Company is unable to do so, and if suitable financing is unavailable, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


Our auditors issued a "going concern" opinion in Note 2 of our June 30, 2006 financial statements, indicating we do not have established revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. If the operating plans of the two subsidiaries are unsuccessful and we are unable to obtain any suitable financing, our ability to continue as a going concern is doubtful.



Item 3. Control and Procedures.


(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.


James Bickel who serves as Company’s chief executive officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of S3 Investments’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date") concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, S3 Investments’ disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to S3 Investment and its unconsolidated investments would be made known to him by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report was being prepared.


(b) Changes in internal controls.


There were no significant changes in S3 Investments’ internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect Company’s disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the Evaluation Date, nor any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in such disclosure controls and procedures requiring corrective actions. As a result, no corrective actions were taken.


ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS FORM 10-QSB REFLECT MANAGEMENT'S BEST JUDGMENT BASED ON FACTORS CURRENTLY KNOWN AND INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY VARY MATERIALLY.

The following is a complete list of cases pending involving S3 Investment Company, Inc. and/or Securesoft Systems, Inc.  Securesoft Systems, Inc was named as a defendant in a case entitled I-Sol, Inc. V. Securesoft Systems, Inc.  The matter was submitted to binding arbitration before a JAMS Judge of the Orange County Superior Court on August 15, 2003.  Judgment was awarded to the plaintiff in the amount of $77,000.00.  The Company is presently seeking a settlement with the plaintiff for a lesser amount.

S3 Investment Company, Inc., S3I Holdings, Inc. and Securesoft were named defendants in a case entitled Villella V. Yamamoto, Berlainder, et al.  Villella, the former CEO and director of S3I Holding and officer of SecureSoft, filed the complaint in the amount of $1,315,000 on April 13, 2005. The claim is for alleged back pay of $500,000, a promissory note of $115,000 and special damages of $700,000. Notice of service was not properly given to S3I until August of 2005.  S3I filed a cross-complaint for damages against Villella on September 20, 2005.  The Company feels that Villella’s claims are without merit. However, in the interest of economics the Company is currently seeking to negotiate a settlement but if none can be reached it will vigorously defend itself.S3I Holdings, Inc. and Securesoft were named defendants in a case entitled Radford v. Yamamoto, Berlandier, S3I, Securesoft and Grant.

Sercuresoft Systems, Inc.  Borton filed the complaint on August 1, 2005 in order to collect $53,355 in legal fees that the firm claims were generated in defending Securesoft in the arbitration matter known as I-Sol V. Securesoft Systems, Inc. The Company is presently seeking a settlement with the plaintiff for a lesser amount.



On June 8, 2004 United States federal agents executed criminal search warrants at the offices of the Company and at the residence of Mark Zouvas, an independent contractor hired to provide public relations services. Federal agents also served Federal grand jury subpoenas for documents on the Company and others. The Company produced over 2,500 pages of documents in response to the grand jury subpoena. The government’s investigation centers on alleged misrepresentations and omissions of material facts in Company filings with the SEC and in Company releases, and alleged fraud in the sale of the Company's securities. No criminal charges have been filed against the Company or anyone else, and the status of the criminal investigation is unknown. The current Officers and members of the Board of Directors were not involved with the Company at the time of these alleged errors and omissions. The Company feels that there has been no wrong-doing on its part and is confident that no charges will be filed against it.


On December 7, 2004, SecureSoft Systems, Inc. and S3 Investment Company, Inc. were named as defendants in a claim before the Labor Commissioner, State of California by the plaintiff, Karen Davenport.  Davenport, the daughter in-law of Fred Villella, claims to have been an employee of SecureSoft during 2003.  The Company denies this claim and sought to defend itself in the administrative proceedings.  On October 18, 2005, the Labor Commissioner, State of California, entered a decision against both SecureSoft and the Company and awarded Davenport $48,792 for past due wages.  The Company strongly disagrees with the commissioner’s decision and is contemplating how best to respond, which includes the possibility of an appeal or seeking protection under SecureSoft’s filing under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Law.


During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, SecureSoft, Systems, Inc. elected to file for protection under Chapter 7 of the U. S. Bankruptcy law on October 14, 2005.  A number of the above listed claims would fall under this protection and as a result may reduce the amount of the claims.


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.


During the quarter ending September 30, 2006, the Company issued 100,000,000 shares of common stock  for $100,000 in services under an S-8 registration.


Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.


None


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

An annual meeting of shareholders of S3 Investment Company was held on July 13, 2006.  Proxies for the meeting were solicited pursuant to Regulation 14A. The following four matters were voted upon, and approved, by the shareholders:

1) To authorize ten billion shares of capital stock of the Company, of which 9,900,000,000 shares will relate to Common stock and 100 million shares will relate to preferred stock, subject to further designation by the Board of Directors of the Company.


2) To elect to the Board of Directors three (3) directors (Chris Bickel, Gary Nerison and Douglas Perkins, to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company or until their successors are elected and qualify, subject to their prior death, resignation or removal; and


3) The appointment of Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson as the Company’s independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.
