BUSINESS SUMMARY
 
This summary highlights selected information and does not contain all the information that is important to you. We urge you to carefully read this entire Prospectus and the documents we have referred you to in “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference” on page 15 for more information about us and our financial statements. We urge you to pay special attention to the risks of investing in our common stock discussed under “Risk Factors.” Except where the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or “SYS” refer to the business of SYS and its consolidated subsidiaries.
 
SYS Technologies (AMEX: SYS), is a provider of information connectivity solutions that capture, analyze and present real-time information to decision makers. Our tailored solutions deliver enhanced decision-making and asset management tools, as well as improved response times, to our customers, which include the Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and large industrial, energy and transportation companies.
 
Built upon standards-based interoperable platforms, SYS solutions utilize sensors, wireless communications networks, decision-support tools and net-centric technologies.
 
For the DoD, we provide command and control systems to operational commanders. For the DHS and various state agencies, we provide real-time safety and security products and services, including sensor networking products and end-to-end solutions. Large industrial customers in the telecommunications, utilities, construction, chemical, and biomedical industries use our products and services to intelligently and profitably manage remote assets.
 
Historically, our revenues have been generated by providing contract engineering services to the DoD. We have increased our revenues by establishing new business units with experienced senior executives who have the ability to grow these business units and to expand our customer base and by acquiring other companies. Our objective is to continue to grow our revenues organically and through acquisitions and to continue to develop a mix of services and products based revenues. We intend to continue to selectively acquire businesses and technologies which complement and enhance our existing businesses and which will allow us to broaden our customer base. While we are continuing to grow our DoD business, we also have an expanding revenue base with other U.S. Government agencies, including the DHS, the Defense Advanced Research Program Administration (DARPA), and the Defense Systems Information Agency (DISA), municipal and state governments, and Fortune 1000 companies in the industrial marketplace.
 
We deliver our solutions through two operating segments. The Defense Solutions Group (DSG) focuses on engineering and technical services to U.S. Federal Government agencies. The Public Safety, Security and Industrial Solutions Group (PSSIG) focuses on sensor networking technologies and public safety and security solutions for both commercial and government customers.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 5050 Murphy Canyon Road, Suite 200, San Diego, California, 92123, and we have additional offices in California, Virginia and Washington, DC. For additional information, please visit www.systechnologies.com.

RISK FACTORS
 
Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, we urge you to carefully consider the following risk factors before purchasing any of the securities offered under this Prospectus. Risks and uncertainties, in addition to those we describe below, that are not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business and financial results could be harmed, and the price of our common stock could decline. We believe the following are our material risks:
 
We depend upon a single customer, the U.S. Government, for the majority of our revenues, and a decrease in its demand for our services, or pricing modifications by prime contractors, might harm our operating results.
 
Currently, a substantial part of our business is work we do for the DoD. Even though the amount of business we receive from this customer is growing and we have negotiated multiple-year contracts that include option and award years, budget changes in Congress or the DoD could have a significant and adverse effect on us. In addition, we do not know whether the U.S. Government will exercise each option or award year available on a contract. Depending on the contract, we may perform as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor to another prime contractor. In cases where we perform as a subcontractor, we may be subject to price modifications required by the prime contractor. Such price modifications, if not mitigated by a corresponding reduction of costs, could have a negative impact on our profitability.
 
A significant number of our customers are government agencies which are subject to unique political and budgetary constraints and have special contracting requirements that may affect our ability to obtain other new government customers.
 
A significant number of our customers are government agencies, principally DoD agencies. These agencies often do not set their own budgets and therefore have little control over the amount of money they can spend. In addition, these agencies experience political pressure that may dictate the manner in which they spend money. Due to political and budgetary processes and other scheduling delays that frequently occur in the contract or bidding process, some government agency orders may be canceled or substantially delayed, and the receipt of revenues or payments may be substantially delayed.
 
In addition, future sales to government agencies will depend on our ability to meet government contracting requirements, certain of which may be onerous or impossible to meet, resulting in our inability to obtain particular contracts. Common requirements in government contracts include bonding, provisions permitting the purchasing agency to modify or terminate at will the contract without penalty and provisions permitting the agency to perform investigations or audits of our business practices.
 
The U.S. Government has a program that encourages and sometimes requires large prime contractors to use small businesses. The U.S. Government restricts the competition on some contracts to qualifying small businesses. Some of our contracts and subcontracts have been awarded based on our eligibility as a small business. The definition of a small business depends on the type of product or service being provided. The U.S. Government uses North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes to classify the small business size standards for all industries. One of our primary NAICS codes was for engineering services, and beginning in fiscal year 2005, we no longer qualified as a small business using this code. However, we still qualify as a small business using several other NAICS codes. In addition, the small business contracts currently held by us do not terminate as a result of our no longer qualifying as a small business under any specific NAICS Code, and any option years on these contracts are also not affected by a change in small business status. Nevertheless, it is possible that our future revenues may be adversely impacted by our recent growth and consequent failure to qualify as a small business under certain NAICS codes.
Page 3

Our inability to adequately retain or protect our employees, customer relationships and proprietary technology could harm our ability to compete.
 
Our future success and ability to compete depends in part upon our employees and their customer relationships, as well as our proprietary technology and trademarks, which we attempt to protect with a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret claims, as well as with our confidentiality procedures and employee contract provisions. These legal protections afford only limited protection and are time-consuming and expensive to obtain and/or maintain. Further, despite our efforts, we may not prevent third parties from soliciting our employees or customers or infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property. Our employees, customer relationships and intellectual property may not provide us with a competitive advantage adequate to prevent competitors from entering the markets for our products and services. Additionally, our competitors could independently develop non-infringing technologies that are competitive with, and equivalent or superior to, our technology. Monitoring infringement and/or misappropriation of intellectual property can be difficult, and it is possible that we would not detect an infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights. Even if we were to detect an infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights, litigation to enforce these rights would be costly and would cause us to divert financial and other resources from our normal business operations.
 
The departure of certain key personnel could affect the financial condition of SYS due to the loss of their expertise and customer relationships.
 
Certain key employees, such as Clifton L. Cooke, Jr., Edward M. Lake, and Kenneth D. Regan, are intimately involved in our business and have day-to-day relationships with critical customers. Competition for highly skilled business, product development, technical and other personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in recruiting new personnel or in retaining our existing personnel. A failure on our part to retain the services of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our employees.
 
We face numerous competitors, and as a result, we may not get the business we seek.
 
We have many competitors with comparable characteristics and capabilities that compete for the same group of customers. Our competitors are competent and experienced and are continuously working to take projects away from us. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. Our ability to compete effectively may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to the sale and marketing of their products and services than are available to us.
Page 4

We must comply with numerous U.S. Government regulations.
 
As a government contractor, we must comply with, and we are affected by, various government regulations. Changes in these regulations could affect our operating results, and we could be subject to penalties for failure to comply with them. Among the most significant of these regulations are:
 
·  
the Federal Acquisition Regulations, and agency regulations supplemental to the Federal Acquisition Regulations, which comprehensively regulate the formation, administration and performance of government contracts;
 
·  
the Truth in Negotiations Act, which requires certification and disclosure of all cost and pricing data in connection with contract negotiations;
 
·  
government accounting regulations, which impose accounting requirements that govern our right to reimbursement under certain cost-based government contracts; and
 
·  
laws, regulations and executive orders restricting the use and dissemination of information classified for national security purposes and the exportation of certain products and technical data.
 
Inaccuracy in our indirect billing rates could cause us to lose money. 
 
Our indirect billing rates are approved at least annually by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) after being reviewed by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). These rates can differ from our actual indirect rates. We budget to have our actual indirect rates as close as possible to our government approved indirect rates at fiscal year end. Throughout the year, management assesses how these rates compare to forecasted rates for the year. If our actual indirect billing rates are expected to exceed the amount to be billed, provisions for such variance are recognized at that time.
 
We rely on subcontractors whose performance could have an adverse impact on our relationships with our customers and our operating results.
 
We regularly employ subcontractors to assist us in satisfying our contractual obligations. We could have disputes with subcontractors concerning a number of issues, including the quality and timeliness of their work, a decision on our part not to extend task orders or issue new task orders under a subcontract, or our hiring of former personnel of a subcontractor. A failure by one or more of our subcontractors to satisfactorily deliver agreed-upon services on a timely basis could materially and adversely impact our ability to perform our obligations as a prime contractor. In extreme cases, such subcontractor performance deficiencies could result in the government terminating our contract for default. A default termination could expose us to liability for excess costs of procurement by the government and have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and task orders.
 
If we are unable to obtain or maintain security clearances, we may not be able to perform certain work.
 
If we cannot obtain the necessary security clearances, we may not be able to perform classified work for the government and our revenues may suffer. Certain government contracts require our facilities and some of our employees to maintain security clearances. If we lose or are unable to obtain security clearances required for a particular contract, the client can terminate the contract or decide not to renew it upon its expiration. As a result, to the extent we cannot obtain the required security clearances for our employees working on a contract, we may not derive the revenue anticipated from that contract. Any such reduction in revenue, if not replaced with revenue from other contracts, could seriously harm our operating results.
Page 5

Security breaches in sensitive government systems could result in the loss of clients and negative publicity. Many of the systems we develop involve managing and protecting information involved in national security and other sensitive government functions. A security breach in one of these systems could cause serious harm to our business, could result in negative publicity and could prevent us from having further access to such critically sensitive systems or other similarly sensitive areas for other government clients.
 
There are risks associated with our planned growth, such as a possible inability to manage our growth.
 
We plan to grow our revenues and profits by adding to our existing customer base through internal growth and by the acquisition of other government services and government or commercial technology related companies. Over the past five years we have hired senior management personnel capable of establishing new business units within SYS. Rapid expansion through internal growth has required additional capital resources. We plan to continue this approach to building our business. We are uncertain whether this approach will result in increased profitability in the future.
 
We believe that we can also grow through the acquisition of other government services companies and government or commercial technology related companies that have product offerings which may be sold to both commercial and government customers. The acquisition of other companies and growing those businesses is uncertain and contains a variety of business risks, including: integration, cultural differences, the retention of key personnel, competition, protection of intellectual property, profitability, industry changes and others. Although we do not have an agreement to acquire any specific company at this time, we intend to attempt to expand our operations through the acquisition of other companies. Acquisitions and attempted acquisitions may place a strain on our limited personnel, financial and other resources. Our ability to manage this growth, should it occur, will require expansion of our capabilities and personnel. We may not be able to find qualified personnel to fill additional positions or be able to successfully manage a larger organization. Further, we intend to finance these transactions through a combination of cash, equity and debt. Our ability to use our stock as an acquisition currency may be limited because the trading volume in our stock has been low, our stock price has been volatile, and our stock may not maintain a price sufficient to support transactions without excessive dilution.
 
We have very limited funds upon which to rely for adjusting to business variations and for growing new businesses. 
 
While we are likely to look for new funding to assist in the acquisition of other profitable businesses, it is uncertain whether such funds will be available. Our substantial reliance on our revolving line of credit facility with Comerica Bank - California imposes certain limitations on us, such as complying with the financial covenants. If we are to grow and expand our operations, we will need to raise significant amounts of additional capital. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in raising additional capital, or if we are successful, that we will be able to raise capital on reasonable terms. If we do raise additional capital, our existing shareholders may incur substantial and immediate dilution.
Page 6

There are a large number of shares that are available for future sale, and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.
 
As of March 15, 2006, we had issued 13,831,096 shares of common stock. Up to 2,333,200 shares of common stock were issuable upon the exercise of employee stock options at prices ranging from $1.00 to $4.90 per share, 687,522 shares were issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes from the February 2004 Offering at $2.20 per share, 168,563 shares were issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes from the acquisition of Polexis at $2.32 per share, 78,400 shares were issuable upon the conversion of the convertible note payable from the Antin acquisition at $2.50 per share, 313,401 shares were issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the May 27, 2005 Offering at $2.50 per share, 50,000 shares were issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of the Lomasoft technology at $3.85 per share, 100,000 shares were conditionally issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of the Lomasoft technology at $3.87 per share, 868,000 shares were issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes from the February 14, 2006 Offering at $3.60 per share, 110,000 shares were issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with various transactions at $4.00 per share, and up to 1,906,227 shares contingently issuable under earn-out provisions in various acquisition transactions. The sale of shares issued upon any conversion of our outstanding convertible notes or the exercise of outstanding options, warrants or the stock purchase agreement could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
There is a limited market for our common stock which could impact your ability to sell your shares. 
 
Our common stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange. Trading in our common stock has been sporadic, and at present, there is a limited market for the stock. We do not know whether a stronger market will develop. Even if such a market does develop, it may not be sustained. There are no analysts currently covering the Company.
 
Future sales of our common stock by existing shareholders under Rule 144 could decrease the trading price of our common stock. 
 
As of March 15, 2006, a total of 6,634,590 shares of our outstanding common stock were “restricted securities” and could be sold in the public markets only in compliance with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable exemptions from registration. Rule 144 provides that a person holding restricted securities for a period of one year may thereafter sell, in brokerage transactions, an amount not exceeding in any three-month period the greater of either (i) 1% of the issuer’s outstanding common stock or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in the securities during a period of four calendar weeks immediately preceding the sale. Persons who are not affiliated with the issuer and who have held their restricted securities for at least two years are not subject to the volume limitation. Possible or actual sales of our common stock by present shareholders under Rule 144 could have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock.
 
Our directors, executive officers and affiliated persons beneficially own a significant amount of our stock, and their interests could conflict with yours.
 
As of March 15, 2006, our directors, executive officers and affiliated persons were the beneficial owners of approximately 25.5% of our common stock, including stock options exercisable within 60 days of March 15, 2006. As a result, our executive officers, directors and affiliated persons will have a significant ability to:
 
·  
elect or defeat the election of our directors;
 
·  
amend or prevent amendment of our articles of incorporation or bylaws;
 
·  
effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and
 
·  
control the outcome of any other matter submitted to the shareholders for vote.

Page 7

As a result of their ownership and positions, our directors, executive officers, and affiliated persons, collectively, are able to significantly influence all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our directors and executive officers and affiliated persons, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
 
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, (the “Reform Act”), provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. We and our representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Prospectus, and in our reports to shareholders. Generally, the inclusion of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” and similar expressions identify statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. All statements addressing operating performance, events, or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, including statements relating to sales growth, earnings or earnings per share growth, and market share, as well as statements expressing optimism or pessimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act.
 
The forward-looking statements are and will be based upon our management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. By their nature, all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results, including our revenues from our segments, expenses, gross margins, cash flows, financial condition, and net income, as well as factors such as our competitive position, the demand for our products and services and our customer base, may differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements or those currently being experienced by us for a number of reasons, including but not limited to the risk factors set forth above under “Risk Factors.”
 
The risk factors described in the Risk Factors section are what we believe to be all our material risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely impact us. Should any risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For these reasons, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
 
RECENT FINANCINGS 
 
On February 14, 2006, we completed a private Offering pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 of $6.25 million in units, each unit consisting of 6,944 restricted shares of SYS Common Stock at $3.60 per share and a three-year $25,000 unsecured subordinated convertible note bearing interest, at 10% per annum, payable quarterly. The investor can convert all but not part of this note, at any time prior to maturity, into shares of SYS common stock at $3.60 per share or keep the note until maturity. SYS has a conversion option commencing one year from the date of issuance whereby, if our stock trades at $5.40 per share for at least five consecutive trading days, we can force the conversion of the notes then outstanding.
 
We issued 868,000 shares of common stock pursuant to this offering. An additional 868,049 shares could be issued if all of the notes are converted into common stock.

RECENT TRANSACTIONS 
 
On April 2, 2006, SYS acquired all of the outstanding stock of Reality Based IT Services, Ltd. (RBIS) a privately held, Maryland-based information systems consultancy for approximately $9.5 million in cash and stock. The transaction was completed pursuant to a stock purchase agreement between SYS and the principal shareholder of RBIS. As a result of the acquisition, RBIS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SYS, and therefore, its financial results will be included in the consolidated financial results of SYS for periods subsequent to March 31, 2006.
 
As a provider of Information Technology (IT) security engineering, RBIS develops, implements and maintains convergent security services that are delivered by consultants, engineers and help desk personnel with high-level U.S. government clearances.
 
The purchase consideration consisted of $5.6 Million in cash and 963,277 shares of SYS common stock with a market value of approximately $3.9 million at closing.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS 
 
This Prospectus relates to 10,677,626 shares of our common stock, which may be sold from time to time by the Selling Shareholders. We will not receive any part of the proceeds of the sale of common stock by the Selling Shareholders. We will receive approximately $5,224,563 of relief from indebtedness if the Selling Shareholders convert all of their convertible notes into common stock. To the extent that 313,401 warrants issued in our May 27, 2005 Offering are exercised at their $2.50 exercise price on other than a cashless basis, the Company would receive $783,503 in cash proceeds. To the extent that 110,000 warrants issued in payment for services rendered are exercised at their $4.00 exercise price on other than a cashless basis, the Company would receive $440,000 in cash proceeds. To the extent that 50,000 warrants issued to Lomasoft (see “The Offering” section for more information) for an asset purchase are exercised at their $3.85 exercise price on other than a cashless basis, the Company would receive $192,500 in cash proceeds; in addition, Lomasoft could receive up to 100,000 warrants that are conditionally issuable at their $3.87 exercise price on other than a cashless basis, the Company could receive up to $387,000 in cash proceeds.
 
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
 
We are registering for resale shares of our common stock held by the Selling Shareholders identified below. On April 2, 2006, we issued 963,277 shares of common stock to the principal shareholder of RBIS in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of RBIS. The remaining Selling Shareholders either (i) acquired shares of common stock or convertible notes from us in separate private placement transactions completed on February 14, 2006, June 2, 2005, January 2004 and January 2002, (ii) acquired shares of common stock pursuant to other business combinations, or (iii) have been issued warrants in connection with the June 2, 2005 financing or in connection with a business combination. Certain of the Selling Shareholders may also sell shares which may be issued upon the achievement of certain earnout provisions associated with business combinations.
 
We have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement, of which this Prospectus forms a part, with respect to the resale of the shares of our common stock from time to time, under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, on the American Stock Exchange, in privately negotiated transactions, in underwritten offerings or by a combination of these methods for sale.
 
With respect to the shares issued in the acquisition of RBIS, we have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the former RBIS stockholder may sell all of his registrable securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or (ii) the date on which the former RBIS stockholder has sold all of his registrable securities.

Page 9

With respect to the shares issued in previous business combinations, our registration obligation ranges from utilizing our best efforts to maintain effectiveness to agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Selling Shareholders may sell all of the registrable securities covered by the Registration Statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or (ii) the date on which the Selling Shareholders have sold all of their registrable securities or (iii) up to one year after the maturity of the convertible notes in the case of the 2002 and 2004 private placements.
 
With respect to the shares issued in the separate private placement transactions, we have agreed pursuant to separate purchase agreements to keep the Registration Statement effective until the later of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date on which the original registration statement was declared effective or (ii) such time as all of the registrable securities covered by the Registration Statement have been publicly sold by the holders or (iii) such time as all the registrable securities covered by the Registration Statement may be sold by the holders pursuant to Rule 144(k). In addition, with respect to the private placement in June 2005, in the event we fail to maintain an effective registration statement for a period greater than 30 trading days, under the terms of the separate purchase agreements with the investors in that private placement transaction, we have agreed to pay as liquidated damages an amount equal to 2% of the aggregate amount invested by each investor in such private placement transaction, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay more than an aggregate of 18% of the investment amount in liquidated damages.
 
Set forth below is information provided to us by the Selling Shareholders with respect to the number of shares of our common stock owned by each of them. Except as described in the table below, none of the Selling Shareholders has any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates beyond their investment in, or receipt of, our securities. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and includes voting or investment power with respect to the shares. Unless otherwise indicated in the table below, to our knowledge, all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law. Our registration of these shares does not necessarily mean that the Selling Shareholders will sell any or all of the shares covered by this Prospectus. The Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be underwriters.
 
The number of shares of common stock that may be actually purchased by the Selling Shareholders under the convertible notes and warrants and the number of shares of common stock that may be actually sold by each Selling Shareholder will be determined by such Selling Shareholder. Because each Selling Shareholder may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock which can be purchased under the convertible notes and warrants and each Selling Shareholder may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock which each holds, and because the offering contemplated by this Prospectus is not currently being underwritten, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of common stock that will be held by the Selling Shareholders upon termination of the offering. The information set forth in the following table regarding beneficial ownership after resale of the covered shares is based on the premises that each Selling Shareholder will purchase the maximum number of shares of common stock provided for by the convertible notes and warrants owned by the Selling Shareholder and that each Selling Shareholder will sell all of the shares of common stock owned by that Selling Shareholder and covered by this Prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
General
 
The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
·  
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
·  
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
·  
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
·  
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
·  
privately negotiated transactions;
 
·  
to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission;
 
·  
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
·  
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
·  
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
·  
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this Prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
 
The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under this Prospectus, or under an amendment to this Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this Prospectus.
Page 19

Upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this Prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of Common Stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of Common Stock, a supplement to this Prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
 
The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Prospectus.
 
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of securities will be paid by the Selling Stockholder and/or the purchasers. Each Selling Stockholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such Selling Stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
 
The Company has advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use shares registered on this Registration Statement to cover short sales of Common Stock made prior to the date on which this Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If a Selling Stockholder uses this Prospectus for any sale of the Common Stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this Registration Statement.
 
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock.

ITEM 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Section 204 of the California General Corporation Law permits a corporation to include in its Articles of Incorporation provisions eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors for monetary damages in an action brought by or in the right of the corporation for breach of a director’s fiduciary duties, subject to certain limitations. Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law requires a corporation to indemnify its directors and other agents to the extent they incur expenses in successfully defending lawsuits brought against them by reason of their status as directors or agents. Section 317 also permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and other agents to a greater extent than specifically required by law.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, eliminate the personal liability of directors of the Company for monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under California law. Article VI of our Bylaws requires that the Company, to the maximum extent permitted by California law, indemnify each of its agents against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact such person is or was an agent of SYS. The term “agent” includes any person who (i) is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of SYS; (ii) is or was serving at the request of SYS, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another business entity; or (iii) was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of SYS or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.

Page 24

The effect of these provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws is to eliminate our ability and that of our shareholders (through shareholder derivative suits) to recover monetary damages against a director except as limited by California law. These provisions do not limit or eliminate the rights of SYS or those of any shareholder to seek non-monetary relief. In any proceeding arising by reason of the fact a person is or was an agent of SYS, the agent will be indemnified if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the person was unlawful. There can be no indemnification with respect to any matter as to which the agent is adjudged to be liable to SYS, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding was brought determines upon application that, in view of all of the circumstances of the case, the agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses as the court shall deem proper.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons, under the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against these liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours in the successful defense of any suit or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person of ours in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 17. Undertakings
 
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in this registration statement. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof, and

Page 28

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
