PRESS RELEASES

First Day on AMEX Set for January 3, 2005

SAN DIEGO, CA - December 29, 2004 – SYS Technologies, (OTC BB: SYYS), a provider of engineering, management and information technology consulting services and solutions to commercial and U.S. government customers, announced today that its stock will begin trading on the American Stock Exchange effective January 3, 2005 under the ticker symbol SYS.

Cliff Cooke, president and CEO of SYS Technologies, said, “We are very pleased to be able to start 2005 with a listing on the American Stock Exchange. We believe that our current and future shareholders will benefit from the specialist system in place there, from the heightened profile that the listing gives our stock and from the greater liquidity we expect from trading on the Amex.”

The Company was approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange based upon a review by an Exchange Listing Qualifications Panel which authorized approval of the listing pursuant to Section 1203(c) of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide; notwithstanding the fact that the Company does not fully satisfy the Exchange regular initial listing standards with respect to Standard 1, i.e., price per share requirement. The Panel's decision was based upon its determination that the Company satisfies the minimum Alternative Listing Standards and its affirmative finding that mitigating factors warrant listing pursuant to the Alternative Listing Standards.

Specifically, the Panel noted the Company’s consistent earnings performance, its strong and conservative management, and the fact that it significantly exceeded certain of the initial listing standards in Sections 101 and 1203 (c) of the AMEX Company Guide (e.g., stockholders equity, operating history, market value of public float, and pre-tax income). The panel was also impressed with the potential for the Company’s business.
