S3 Investment Company Comments on Continued Success of Redwood Capital ClientBY Market Wire

DANVILLE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/26/09 -- S3 Investment Company, Inc. (SIVC

) today commented on the continued success of the most recent client of its wholly owned Redwood Capital subsidiary to have entered the North American capital markets. Boyuan Construction Group, Inc., which is publicly traded on Canada's TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol BOY, recently reported that it had signed new agreements for two separate construction projects with a total aggregate value of US $21.8 million. In July 2009, Boyuan Construction Group announced three new commercial construction project agreements with a total value of US $33.6 million.
Redwood Capital acted as the Chinese merchant banking advisor for the Boyuan Construction Group in a reverse takeover transaction which resulted in the company being listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. Boyuan Construction Group is a leading builder of commercial, residential and municipal infrastructure projects in China's fast-growing regions of the Yangtze River Delta and the city of Sanya on Hainan Island.
"Much of the business of our Redwood Capital subsidiary is oriented around choosing the right clients -- ones that we believe will ultimately be successful in the North American public markets -- and in the relatively short time since Boyuan Construction Group became publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange, it has signed numerous new construction project agreements representing significant dollar values," said Jim Bickel, chairman and CEO of S3 Investment Company (SIVC

). "Given the stock positions that Redwood Capital receives as part of its compensation for successfully closed transactions, the ongoing operational performance of all its clients, including Boyuan Construction Group, is paramount to the value proposition for Redwood Capital and, by extension, S3 Investment Company (SIVC

)."
Boyuan Construction Group has completed two rounds of financing to fund new construction projects and for general working capital purposes. The first private was a placement financing announced concurrent to its reverse takeover transaction and listing on the TSX, which generated gross proceeds of $4.1 million. The second was a subsequent private placement offering with gross proceeds of CDN$6,474,000.
"As Redwood Capital sources new clients through our network in China, we will continue to hold Boyuan Construction Group up as an example of the success that Redwood Capital clients can achieve by accessing the North American capital markets," added Mr. Bickel.

Veterinarians using stem cells to treat animals
By HILARY LEHMANAssociated Press Writer

Garry's kids....
MIAMI -- Five-year-old Lucy the Labradoodle's back limbs have been rendered unusable by rheumatoid arthritis, and she must scoot along the ground with her front paws to grab a bone. Her owners believe that a costly stem-cell treatment is the reason she's even lived as long as she has.
In fact, they say, she seems to be improving. She no longer yelps or whimpers in pain, and she needs far less medicine than before. Lucy's owners credit the stem cell treatment, despite what experts say is a lack of evidence such treatments work.
"We didn't think she'd live anywhere near this long, and I know it's because of the stem cells," says owner Carol Fischman, 57, of Vero Beach.
Thousands of dogs and horses with degenerative arthritis have had stem cell treatments, costing around $2,500 to $3,000 per procedure. There are no independent studies verifying their effectiveness, and some experts say such studies are needed to assess their potential.
University of Florida veterinarian Kristin Kirkby, who performed Lucy's procedure, said that the outcomes on five similar treatments have all been positive. But that's from owner-reported results, not scientific scrutiny.
Owners tell her their dogs have an easier time getting around the house and getting into position to urinate. Mostly, they just report their dogs appear to be more comfortable overall.
To get hard results, Kirkby says the university plans to start taking a pain inventory of each animal at the beginning of the process, followed by an evaluation and checkups afterward to measure changes.
"I think it's an exciting field. Undoubtedly the future of scientific research is going this way," Kirkby said. "It's early on, especially in the small animal side, to know what the results can be."
Vet-Stem, a Poway, Calif.-based company, is developing the stem cell therapy and began treating horses in 2003. It derives stem cells from fat samples taken from dogs and horses across the country.
The procedure has been used mainly to treat osteoarthritis, which involves loss of cartilage in the joints, but Vet-Stem is researching treatments for other diseases. Vet-Stem claims the therapy enables animals to replace cartilage and other tissue.
Since 2003, the privately held company has treated 3,500 horses and 1,500 dogs and plans to begin treating cats later this year. More than 1,500 vets are licensed to use the procedure.
Dr. Bob Harman, veterinarian and Vet-Stem founder, said it made sense to use these fat-based adult stem cells, which the body uses to create scar tissue and repair damage, to treat chronic disease in animals.
"Really, all we're doing is harnessing the existing repair machinery in the body, concentrating it, and putting it right where an injury occurs, where healing is needed, to heal naturally," he said
Adam Gassel has used stem cells to treat almost 40 dogs at his Irvine, Calif., veterinary clinic during the past two years.
"I was pretty skeptical," he said. "I was hoping that dogs would just be more comfortable."
But for about 25 percent of dogs, their owners report they are like puppies again, able to get back to normal activities, he said. Another 25 percent are able to stop taking medicines they were dependent upon. In all, Gassel said, all but 20 percent of the animals show some positive response to the therapy, according to their owners and the requests for pain medicine.
One peer-reviewed study by researchers at Cornell University, published in the American Journal of Veterinary Research and sponsored in part by Vet-Stem, found that tendinitis in horses was improved by injection of the adult stem cells.
Two other studies published in Veterinary Therapeutics found that dogs with osteoarthritis showed improvements in lameness after stem cell injections. Those studies also were sponsored by Vet-Stem and conducted by Vet-Stem researchers and other veterinarians.
Jonathan Slack, director of the University of Minnesota's Stem Cell Research Institute, said adult stem cells from fat can become cartilage in a laboratory cell culture. Conclusive results on whether the stem-cell injection process actually makes new bone cells in animals don't exist, to his knowledge.
"I guess from the dog's point of view," Slack said, "it's good if it does work."
Whatever the scientific merits of the therapies, Lucy's owners say they would do it again for her.
She's had her stem cell treatments through an IV three times, and the Fischmans want to give her a fourth one soon, despite the $3,000-per-procedure cost.
"I like the dog as much as I like my kids," said Dr. Charles Fischman, 59, who is an immunologist. "People will spend more on their dogs than they will on themselves."

DANVILLE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/17/09 -- S3 Investment Company, Inc.

The company has completed the necessary paperwork, submitted it to Pink OTC Markets Inc., which operates www.pinksheets.com and related websites, paid the required fee, and has received its log-in information for filing financial statements.
By reporting its quarterly and annual financial information through the Pink Sheets OTC Disclosure and News Service, the company will be placed in the "Current Information" designation at www.pinksheets.com.

"We have completed this first necessary step as outlined by the Pink Sheets to be included in its 'Current Information' category," commented Jim Bickel, CEO of S3 Investment Company.

"We will continue to keep our shareholders updated as we move forward in the process of reporting through the Pink OTC Markets system," Mr. Bickel added.
Subscribing to the OTC Disclosure and News Service is the first step to comply with the guidelines contained in "Pink OTC Markets' Guidelines for Providing Adequate Current Information."

S3 Investment Company Remains Bullish on the China Market and Comments on Reporting Status
09:12 a.m. 02/02/2009 Provided By Market Wire
DANVILLE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/02/09 -- S3 Investment Company, Inc. (SIVC) today issued further comments on deal conditions in the China market and the impact of the $586 billion stimulus plan recently launched by China's central government.
"We are pleased to see that the first quarter is already showing signs of recovery in the market psychology as a result of the positive impact of the stimulus package in China," stated Redwood Capital's Director of Research, Matthew Totty. "Fourth quarter was dismal in the marketplace in regards to raising capital for Chinese companies, but we're already seeing much more interest in the first quarter and things could be much better by summer barring some unseen economic event. Most funds have a clearer picture of their financials now that fourth quarter is over and we expect a positive second quarter.
"Most of our deals at Redwood were delayed as a result of the market conditions, but the companies themselves continue to prosper, and we have one project up for exchange approval within the next several weeks. We will provide details of the deal following approval, but we're extremely pleased with our progress."
China's steel output rose 7.4 percent last month, in contrast to sharp drops in neighbor Japan, which saw crude steel output tumble to its lowest in nearly a decade. Production in China may further increase in the coming months as it is one of the few countries expected to show a small growth in output this year, while global output is seen falling by 7 to 8 percent.
"Despite a global economic slowdown, China's economy is still expected to grow in the coming quarters, and the stimulus plan is providing strength to domestic driven companies, which is our focus. We remain extremely optimistic and bullish on China for 2009 and 2010 and we are being approached daily by companies looking to raise capital in need of support of the demand for their products and services," stated Jim Bickel, CEO of Redwood and its parent, S3 Investment Company.
"We have many exciting opportunities in front of us at this time, which require substantial capital to fulfill, so we will withdraw the S-1 filing until the market improves, while continuing to fully report our financials in order to limit our expenses and focus resources and capital on the closing of our current deals. Once market conditions improve, we can resume the S-1 filing process. Until then, we feel it is best to continue to voluntarily disclose our financials, reduce unnecessary expenses, and emphasize closing the deals at hand."
S3's wholly owned Redwood Capital subsidiary specializes in providing private and public capital for Chinese companies through the simultaneous listing on a North American stock market and PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) financing. Its services are designed to prepare, assist and manage client companies through the various stages of the process of an initial public offering or a reverse merger into a publicly traded shell, concurrent capital funding, a progression to a major North American market listing, and multiple Registered Follow-On Offerings for additional growth capital.
