DANVILLE, CA, Mar 17, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- S3 Investment Company,
Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SIVC) today announced that Chairman and CEO Jim Bickel has
traveled to China to attend an investment conference and provide support for the
company's Redwood subsidiaries operating in the China market.

While on his trip, Mr. Bickel attended the Rodman & Renshaw Annual Investment
Conference held March 7-9 in Beijing, where 130 companies were scheduled to
present and the speakers included former U.S. President Bill Clinton (via
satellite) and Keynote Speaker former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Attendees included institutional investors, venture capitalists, sophisticated
private investors, industry executives, business development executives and
private equity firms. Mr. Bickel attended the conference on behalf of S3's
wholly owned Redwood Capital subsidiary, which assists private Chinese companies
in accessing the North American capital markets through reverse merger and/or
financing transactions.

Mr. Bickel is also working with Redwood Capital ma nagement and staff on the
company's recently announced new client, which operates in China's rapidly

production of cattle and beef products in China, and the client's goal is to
become the country's leading brand of premium cattle and beef products.

During the trip, Mr. Bickel is also participating in interviews with several
potential Redwood Capital client companies in order to further bolster the
company's pipeline of new deals. The companies are being interviewed as part of
the screening and due diligence processes, and as a result of the meetings, at
least one new client is expected to be signed while Mr. Bickel is in China.

"This trip has gone very well so far, including our attendance at the Rodman &
Renshaw conference and our interviews with new and potential Redwood Capital
clients," said Mr. Bickel. "Face-to-face meetings are the most effective way to
prepare clients for the close of their transactions, as well as to properly
screen potential clients as part of our due diligence process. We look forward
to reporting any material progress that is achieved as a result of these
meetings, including the signing of any new clients."
