Bad Toys, Inc., Changes Name to Bad Toys Holdings, Inc.; Mandatory Exchange of Stock Certificates Required

KINGSPORT, Tenn.--Aug. 2, 20045, 2004--Bad Toys, Inc. (OTCBB:BTOI) announced today that the Company will begin trading under the new CUSIP number 056484 10 8 effective September 3, 2004, concurrent with the Company's name change to Bad Toys Holdings, Inc. The Company will continue to trade under BTOI trading symbol. The Company will continue to trade on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board.

As part of the name change and CUSIP number change, all stock certificates representing shares of common stock of the Company must be exchanged for new certificates. The Company is requiring that all stock certificates include the name of the beneficial owner. This change in the Company's procedure will require that brokers withdraw their shares from the DTC to affect the change. After September 3, 2004, all issued and outstanding shares of Bad Toys, Inc. current common stock will cease to represent an interest in the Company and will only represent a right to be exchanged for new shares of Bad Toys Holdings, Inc.

The Company hopes that the industry will treat the name and Cusip change as a mandatory exchange so that the Company will not have to revert to a "when issued" basis and the Company will not have to temporarily suspend the T+3 rule to affect a mandatory exchange of certificates.

Stock Certificate Exchange Procedure:

Stockholders who have in their possession the paper stock certificates should read and carefully complete the Letter of Transmittal which will be available online at www.badtoys.net. Then forward the completed Letter of Transmittal together with the stock certificate via an insured, traceable delivery service to the Company's exchange agent, Nevada Agency and Trust Company, 50 West Liberty, Suite 880, Reno, Nevada 89501. Note that there is no need to, and nor should stockholders, endorse the stock certificate.

Stockholders who hold their shares in street name with a broker should confirm with their broker that the broker is including their name on the list of beneficial owners being submitted to the Company's exchange agent. These stockholders will not be required to take any further action, unless their broker tells them otherwise.
