Paladin Holdings, Inc. was incorporated on June 1, 2000, in the State of Nevada and is the successor to a motorcycle business, which was founded by one of its shareholders, Larry N. Lunan. The Company changed its name effective August 13, 2007 to Paladin Holdings, Inc. from Bad Toys Holdings, Inc. The Company operates its business and markets its services through its motorcycle business segment only. Paladin and its subsidiaries operates an integrated line of business activities for the motorcycle industry including frame, girder, and component parts manufacturing, manufacturing of production and custom complete motorcycles, manufacture of sprint car chassis, and manufacture of pedal and motorized go carts with styled bodies. Each of these companies also sells retail parts for these auto and leisure areas. The Company's operational structure enhances service delivery and maintains favorable executive contacts with key contract decision-makers and community leaders. The Company designs distinctive V-Twin motorcycles with direct sales to customers and builds four models through American Eagle, which are distributed thru dealers. The Company builds custom-manufactured motorcycles in its shop in Kingsport, Tennessee and in its shop in Gallatin, Tennessee acquired in January 2005 from component parts available from motorcycle parts suppliers. In motorcycle circles, the Company's models are of the type known as custom-manufactured, V-Twin, HD-type motorcycles. They are called 'V-Twin' because they have two-cylinders set at a 45-degree angle and are called 'HD-type' because of its resemblance to the motorcycles manufactured by Harley-Davidson. Street rods are vehicles with body types from manufacture years 1920 to 1948, that has been modified for street use and show. Street rods differ from antique or restored vehicles in that the street rod has been materially altered to utilize modern components not produced as part of the pre-1949 vehicle. The growth of the street rod and custom market can in part be attributed to Hollywood, music videos and television shows. Street rods and customs have become a more acceptable part of the Company's culture.
