Bad Toys Holdings, Inc. Announces Southland Health Services, Inc. Closes Acquisition With Tri-County Ambulance

Posted on: Monday, 9 April 2007, 09:00 CDT

Bad Toys Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: BTYH) announced today that effective March 23, 2007, Southland Health Services, Inc., its former wholly owned subsidiary, closed its acquisition of certain assets of Tri-County Ambulance, LLC of Ellijay, GA. Southland also announced that Jackie Ellington, the owner of Tri-County Ambulance, accepted a position with Southland to manage the newly acquired Georgia operations.

Larry Lunan, CEO of Southland Health Services, Inc., stated, "We are extremely excited about this acquisition as it expands our services to eight states. We expect this acquisition to immediately provide in excess of $2.5 million in revenues annually to Southland. Ellijay is located in an area we believe to be a prime growth area north of Atlanta and should present numerous opportunities for our Company. We anticipate that we will continue to expand in this market as Tri-County did before us."

Mr. Lunan went on to add, "This acquisition is in line with our strategic plan of continued growth in the southeastern sector. We will continue to review all opportunities and constantly seek ways to enhance the value of our Company for its shareholders."

Mr. Ellington stated, "I am looking forward to becoming part of the Southland family and am confident that this acquisition will allow us to continue expanding in this dynamic market of North Georgia."

Southland believes that it is uniquely positioned and will continue to be one of the leading providers of ambulance and medical transportation services. Southland plans to continue to grow through acquisitions of independent rural service providers where synergies and economies of scale will provide targeted profit margins, growing its current existing contractual relationship base with various counties, as well as expanding into new markets.
