S3 Investment Company, Inc.
(S3I Holdings, Inc.)
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2004
 

GENERAL

S3 Investment Company, Inc. (S3I Holdings, Inc.) (the Company) has elected to omit substantially all footnotes to the financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2004 since there have been no material changes (other than indicated in other footnotes) to the information previously reported by the Company in their Annual Report filed on the Form 10-K for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004.

UNAUDITED INFORMATION

The information furnished herein was taken from the books and records of the Company without audit. However, such information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to properly reflect the results of the interim period presented. The information presented is not necessarily indicative of the results from operations expected for the full fiscal year.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

During the 1st fiscal quarter, the Company issued 71,950,000 shares of common stock for the conversion of debentures and accrued interest in the amount of $368,867, at a rate of $.005 per share. Due to the issue rate being less than the market value of the common stock issued, a financing cost of $1,070,133 was recorded. The value of the stock issuance was recorded at $1,439,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
 

GENERAL

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts and may contain forward-looking statements that involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated by management. Potential risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, general business conditions, government regulations, manufacturing practices, competitive market conditions, success of the Company's business strategy, delay of orders, changes in the mix of products sold, availability of suppliers, concentration of sales in markets and to certain customers, changes in manufacturing efficiencies, development and introduction of new products, fluctuations in margins, timing of significant orders, and other risks and uncertainties currently unknown to management.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in the external disclosures of the Company including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed by us for reasonableness and conservatism on a consistent basis throughout the Company. Primary areas where financial information of the Company is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include acquisitions, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets, and the realizability of deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Valuation Of Long-Lived And Intangible Assets

The recoverability of long lived assets requires considerable judgment and is evaluated on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. As it relates to definite life intangible assets, we apply the impairment rules as required by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets to Be Disposed Of" as amended by SFAS No. 144, which also requires significant judgment and assumptions related to the expected future cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. The impact of modifying any of these assumptions can have a significant impact on the estimate of fair value and, thus, the recoverability of the asset.

Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based upon historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. As of September 30,2004, we estimated the allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent of the net deferred tax assets.

Valuation of Investments

As required by ASR 118, the investment committee of the company is required to assign a fair value to all investments. To comply with Section 2(a)(41) of the Investment Company Act and Rule 2a-4 under the Investment Company Act, it is incumbent upon the board of directors to satisfy themselves that all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which market quotations are not readily available have been considered and to determine the method of arriving at the fair value of each such security. To the extent considered necessary, the board may appoint persons to assist them in the determination of such value, and to make the actual calculations pursuant to the board's direction. The board must also, consistent with this responsibility, continuously review the appropriateness of the method used in valuing each issue of security in the company's portfolio. The directors must recognize their responsibilities in this matter and whenever technical assistance is requested from individuals who are not directors, the findings of such intervals must be carefully reviewed by the directors in order to satisfy themselves that the resulting valuations are fair.

9



No single standard for determining "fair value...in good faith" can be laid down, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current "fair value" of an issue of securities being valued by the board of directors would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on a multiple of earnings, or a discount from market of a similar freely traded security, or yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Some of the general factors which the directors should consider in determining a valuation method for an individual issue of securities include: 1) the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment, 2) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities, and 3) an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. Among the more specific factors which are to be considered are: type of security, financial statements, cost at date of purchase, size of holding, discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at time of purchase, special reports prepared by analysis, information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security, existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the securities, price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies, and other relevant matters.

The board has arrived at the following valuation method for its investments. Where there is not a readily available source for determining the market value of any investment, either because the investment is not publicly traded, or is thinly traded, and in absence of a recent appraisal, the value of the investment shall be based on the following criteria:


1. Total amount of the Company's actual investment ("AI"). This amount shall include all loans, purchase price of securities, and fair value of securities given at the time of exchange.
2. Total revenues for the preceding twelve months ("R").
3. Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation ("EBITD")
4. Estimate of likely sale price of investment ("ESP")
5. Net assets of investment ("NA")
6. Likelihood of investment generating positive returns (going concern).
 

The estimated value of each investment shall be determined as follows:
 

The Company has not retained independent appraises to assist in the valuation of the portfolio investments because the cost was determined to be prohibitive for the current levels of investments.

COMPANY STRATEGY

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 all 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.

10


Securesoft Systems, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated in September 1999. Securesoft develops, markets and sells enterprise compliance and risk management software solutions enabling clients to ensure that privacy, ebusiness and security policies remain aligned with regulatory requirements, and an organization's business strategies and performance goals. The Securesoft software provides a structured approach that combines knowledge of current business processes and systems, an understanding of related legislation and the use of cohesive teams that are experienced with the issues and objectives surrounding compliance. Securesofts implementation services include compliance gap analysis, risk management, cost benefit analysis, implementation strategies and monitoring.

On April 12, 2004 the Company's Board of Directors elected to be regulated as a business investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a business development company ("BDC"), the Company is 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. As of September 30, 2004 the Company's sole portfolio investment was Securesoft Systems, Inc., of which it owned 100% of the capital stock.

In June of 2004 the office was moved to Temecula, California and administrative changes were made to help cut overhead and concentrate on adding portfolio companies that are cash flow positive. Continued efforts in this regard have culminated in the resignation of Wayne Yamamoto as Chief Executive Officer and the appointment of Chris Bickel as Chief Executive Officer in September of 2004. On October 12, 2004 the Company changes it's name to S3 Investment Company, Inc. to properly reflect the nature of its business.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter Securesoft has completed the development work of the newest version of its comprehensive HIPPA compliance software. Along with this the company has signed a Letter of Intent with TS Partner, a leader in healthcare information technology, for distribution of the Securesoft HIPPA compliance products and services. TS Partner, a nationwide distributor of healthcare services, will serve as the master distributor of the Securesoft compliance software solution for two years based on the Letter of Intent.

On November 1, 2004 S3 Investment Company, Inc. signed a Letter of Intent to purchase Redwood Capital, Inc. a privately-held investment advisory group. Redwood Capital specializes in Investment Banking for privately-held Chinese companies and has offices in China and the United States.

Currently, there are no additional commitments for material expenditures. It should be noted that the Company's auditors Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson have expressed in their audit opinion letter accompanying the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2004 that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarter ended September 30, 2004 compared to quarter ended September 30, 2003

During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,168,204 compared to a loss of $337,841 for the same quarter of 2003. The current loss is primarily due to the equity financing agreement that the company had in place during the quarter. Convertible debentures were converted at rates 50% below the market. Convertible debentures in the amount of $359,750 were converted and resulted in a financing cost of $1,070,133. Exclusive of these financing costs the Company would have had a loss of $98,071 compared to the loss of $337,841 for the same quarter of 2003. This decrease in loss is due to a major decrease in operating expenses.

Operating expenses were $94,095 and $454,490 for the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The reduced expenses this quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago is due mainly to the companies restructuring to reduce its overhead by outsourcing some of the administrative functions.

Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was $3,976, compared to $8,600 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with principles of accounting applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred operating losses from inception and has generated an accumulated deficit of $1,778,128. The Company requires additional capital to meet its operating requirements. Management plans to increase cash flows through the sale of securities (see following paragraph below) and, through sales of Securesoft's compliance software solution. A definitive agreement has been signed with TS Partners, a leading distributor of healthcare compliance software, to market the Securesoft compliance software. There are no assurances that such plans will be successful. No adjustments have been made to the accompanying financial statements as a result of this uncertainty.

As of September 30, 2004, the Company had total cash and current assets of $749 and current liabilities of $201,414. The Company generated cash for operations through the issuance of common stock. Commencing December 1, 2003, the Company began issuing subordinated convertible debentures. The debentures bore interest at 8%, matured sixty (60) days from the date of issuance, and were convertible into common stock at a discount to market of 50% from the closing bid price on the date of conversion. Through September 30, 2004, a total of $634,000 ($0 this quarter) had been raised under these terms and $608,750 ($359,750 this quarter) had been converted leaving a balance due as of September 30, 2004 of $120,250. On April 12, 2004, the Company filed a notification with the Securities and Exchange Commission of its intent to raise capital through the issuance of securities exempt from registration under Regulation E of the Securities Act of 1933. This exemption allows the Company to sell up to $5,000,000 of securities exempt from registration. Through September 30, 2004, the Company raised $611,750 of which $608,750 was from convertible debentures ($359,750 this quarter) through the issuance of 86,160,490 (71,950,000 this quarter) shares of common stock through the use of the Regulation E exemption. Subsequent to September 30, 2004 the company has raised another $100,000 by the issuance of subordinated convertible debentures and $30,000 through the sale of common stock. All $100,000 of the debentures were converted into 80,000,000 shares of free trading common stock. $49,250 of the outstanding balance due on convertible debentures as of September 30, 2004 was also converted into 29,250,000 shares of free trading common stock. The company also raised $30,000 on a cash sale through the issuance of 12,000,000 shares of free trading common stock.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional funds through the issuance of the remaining convertible debentures or that any funds made available will be adequate for the Company to continue as a going concern. Further, if the Company is not able to generate positive cash flow from operations, or is unable to secure adequate funding under acceptable terms, there is substantial doubt that the company can continue as a going concern.

PART II.

Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There are a number of cases pending involving S3 Investment Company, Inc. and/or Securesoft Systems, Inc. The following is a complete list.

Securesoft 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.

S3I Holdings, Inc and Securesoft were named defendants in a case entitled Fink and Villella V. Yamamoto, Berlandier, Luke Zouvas, Mark Zouvas, S3I and Securesoft. Fink and Villella filed complaint on November 20, 2003 and filed amended complaint on April 16, 2004. S3I filed a counterclaim on May 18, 2004 against Villella and on August 16, 2004 Villella was dismissed out of the case. Fink has continued to pursue the action. The Company and its counsel feel that this case will be dismissed within the next month based on the facts. S3I Holdings, Inc was plaintiff in a case entitled S3I Holdings, Inc. v. Fink. S3I Holdings filed a complaint in October 10, 2003 for injunctive relief, misrepresentation and fraud. The action was taken to stop the illegal sale of stock. The action was taken too late and the sale of stock took place. Any amount that would have been due Fink was more than offset by the stock sale.

S3I Holdings, Inc. and Securesoft were named defendants in a case entitled Radford v. Yamamoto, Berlandier, S3I, Securesoft and Grant. Radford filed complaint on February 10, 2004 alleging nonpayment of back wages. Defendants answered the complaint on July 9,2004. Stipulated mediation before an arbitrator will be completed on November 17, 2004. The Company feels the claim is baseless and that it will receive a favorable ruling.

Securesoft was named defendant in a case entitled Kim Anderson v. Securesoft Systems, Inc. Securesoft failed to answer complaint and a Court Judgment was awarded in favor of the defendant in the amount of $66,323.92. This amount is for back office rent. The Company is seeking to settle with the plaintiff for a lesser amount.

S3I Holdings was named defendant in a case entitled Professional Traders Fund, LLC v. S3I Holdings, Inc, and Luke Zouvas. A judgment was rendered against S3I and Zouvas by the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the amount of $274,239.60. The court is at this time reviewing this judgment based on the fact that the award to the plaintiff was based on forged documents. The Company and its counsel are confident that this judgment will be dismissed.

Federal Grand Jury Investigation - 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. 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 governments 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.
