Jun 18, 2001 (The Business Press - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- After failing to strike digital gold as an Internet media company, a Palm Springs firm has decided to take another shot at black gold. Original Media (Pink Sheets: OMDA) signed an agreement June 11 to acquire 150,000 acres for gas and oil production from three Texas-based limited-liability companies at a total price of $22.5 million in convertible stock over a five-year period. About 95 million recoverable barrels of oil exist on 5,800 acres of the property, according to a statement by a representative of the three companies, Alco Oil & Gas, Legato Resources and Herenca Operating. "We have people with experience in (oil and gas production) and it made sense to go back to it," said Dave Taylor, director and chief financial officer for Original Media. Taylor was alluding to Original's past, which has included flirtations with natural resources from its 1984 beginning in Vancouver, British Columbia, as Maesa Petroleum Inc. Under the terms of the deal, Original Media will receive a 100 percent working interest and 70 percent net revenue interest in the property. The Palm Springs company will provide a minimum of $400,000 working capital for engineering and will not pay interest until it gets production of 1,500 barrels a day for 30 days. Taylor said the company had been looking for new opportunities for a year while simultaneously spinning off its ailing Internet ventures. "This was worthwhile," he said. An Original name At Original Media's next annual meeting, slated for sometime within the next 60 days, the company will vote on a fresh name to reflect its new direction. Original Media's previous focus, a cadre of Web sites devoted to women, has been spun off to shareholders, and is operating as a separate entity dubbed ShesGotNetwork Inc., according to Taylor. All seven of the Original Media's former staff members now work for ShesGotNetwork Inc., leaving Original Media with just a board of directors and its chief officers. The natural resource concern will hire employees once operations begin. "Once we get this ramped up we will have to add employees. We have a lot of work to find out where we are on that," Taylor said. The company now known as Original Media has worn many badges since its inception. During an initial run in natural resources in 1994, it was known as Maesa Gaming Management Inc. Four years later, it restyled itself as Mako Capital Inc. before forming O. Media Inc. in 1999. The solitary "O" was expanded to "Original" in 2000 due to a challenge by another company with a similar moniker. As Original Media, the company was listed on the OTC Bulletin Board until it missed deadlines for filing financial reports. It now resides on the National Quotation Bureau Inc.'s "pink sheets," a less accessible listing service. Attempting to ride the high tide of the Internet age, Original Media developed a slew of Web sites including the ShesGotItTogether.com portal. But the company found the Internet was not always a gold mine. In its first full year as an Internet firm, Original Media posted a $2.5 million loss against revenue of $100,000. In the six months ended June 30, 2000, Original Media revealed a loss of $587,027 with revenue of just $50,681. With the country in the clutches of an energy crisis, this may be the time to take a plunge into Texas tea, company officials said. "We need to bring cash flow back to the shareholders, and (oil and gas) is a product that you will always have a buyer for," said Original Media spokesman Anthony Lanza. Investor skepticism is rampant on Original Media online message boards at stock information Web site Raging Bull. "I know a lot of folks in the oil business and they do not walk away from a producing well for exchange of (Original Media) shares -- that is funny!" according to justcruising. Original Media's success rests on how resource-rich its acreage really is, according to George J. Gaspar, managing director of petroleum research for Milwaukee-based Robert W. Baird & Co. It's not difficult to get into the oil and gas industry -- but it is difficult to stay there, Gaspar said.
