News for 'SIVC' - (S3 Investment Company Attends Major Reverse Merger Conference)


DANVILLE, CA, Jun 26, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- S3 Investment Company,
Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SIVC), and its wholly owned Redwood Capital subsidiary, which
assists private Chinese companies in accessing the U.S. capital markets through
reverse mergers into public companies, today announced that management
representatives, including S3 CEO Jim Bickel and Redwood Capital's Director of
Research, Matthew Totty, attended the Reverse Merger Conference 2008 held on
June 18 - 19, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.

The Reverse Merger Conference 2008, produced by DealFlow Media, was advertised
as the largest educational and networking event for professionals in the
business. The two-day conference covered all of the technical issues relating to
reverse mergers, self-underwriting, and other alternative routes to the public
market.

Some of the specific topics covered at the event included: 1) Current Trends in
the Reverse Merger Market; 2) A Comprehensive Review of 12 Years Worth of Shell
Mergers; 3) Negotiating Air-tight Agreements: Enforcing Contracts between
Issuers and Bankers; 4) Hybrid Investment Valuation: Considerations for PIPE
Funds and Reverse Merger Funds; 5) Institutional Sales: Understanding Retail
Brokerage and how it has Changed the Small Cap Landscape; 6) Building a PIPE
Practice in a Downward-to-Sideways Market ; 8) Legal Issues in China: MOFCOM,
SAFE, and Rules Pertaining to Offshore Transactions; 7) The Case for
Self-filings as a Private-to-Public Path; 8) The Pros and Cons of Form 10
Shells; 9) Listing Alternatives for Shells and Reverse Mergers; 10) Legal and
Regulatory Update: Has the SEC Made Raising Cash Easier?; 11) Reverse Merger
Financing: How to Structure Deals around a Lack of Trading Liquidity; 12) Shell
Companies: Do You Know Where your Shell (or Shell Promoter) has been?

"Our attendance at events such as the Reverse Merger Conference 2008 is
absolutely essential, given the business of Redwood Capital," commented Mr.
Bickel. "Not only do we gain very important information regarding the current
reverse merger landscape, including recent and anticipated updates on legal and
regulatory issues, but we also have the opportunity to interface with other
important players in the APO space.

"Our investment banking partner, Hunter Wise Financial Group, was also
represented at the event," Mr. Bickel added.

Redwood Capital and Hunter Wise participated together in a transaction involving
Dalian Chuming, a pork processing company that trades in the U.S. as Energroup
Holdings Corporation under the symbol ENHD. As part of the transaction, ENHD, a
Nevada corporation, acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
Precious Sheen Investments Limited ("PSI"), a British Virgin Islands corporation
and parent company of PRC-based Dalian Chuming.

Redwood Capital was issued 428,095 shares of ENHD as the equity portion of its
payment for advisory services provided for the transaction. Institutional and
accredited investors participated in a $17.0 million private placement with
Energroup Holdings Corporation, paying $4.40 per share for their positions. At
the placement price, the value of Redwood Capital's equity position would exceed
$1.8 million. At the most recent trading price of Energroup Holdings
Corporation's common stock, the value of the equity position would exceed $2.1
million.

Energroup Holdings Corporation has since reported that revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2007 totaled $124.7 million, a 77% increase over the $70.4
million reported in 2006. Gross profit for 2007 was $20.3 million, representing
a 61% increase from the $12.6 million reported in 2006. Most recently, ENHD
reported after-tax net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 of $4.2
million, a 41% increase over the $3.0 million reported in the same period of
2007.
