(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:
Where no or limited revenues or earnings are present, then the value shall be the greater of the investment's a) net assets, b) estimated sales price, or c) total amount of actual investment.
Where revenues and/or earnings are present, then the value shall be the greater of one time (1x) revenues or three times (3x) earnings, plus the greater of the net assets of the investment or the total amount of the actual investment.
Under both scenarios, the
value of the investment shall be adjusted down if there is a reasonable
expectation that the Company will not be able to recoup the investment or if
there is reasonable doubt about the investments ability to continue as a going
concern.
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.
11
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.
12
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.
Item 2. Changes in Securities
This quarter, 71,950,000 shares of common stock were issued in payment of $359,750 of convertible debentures under a Regulation E exemption.
Subsequent to September 30th the company issued 109,250,000 shares of common stock in payment of $149,250 of convertible debentures under a Regulation E exemption.
Subsequent to September 30th the company also issued 12,000,000 shares of common stock for a cash sale of $30,000.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None
Item 4. Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders
