Although RAM believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, RAM can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from RAM’s expectations (“Cautionary Statements”) include, without limitation, the actual quantities of RAM’s oil and natural gas reserves, future production levels, future prices and demand for oil and natural gas, the results of RAM’s future exploration and development activities, future operating, development costs and future acquisitions, the effect of existing and future laws and governmental regulations (including those pertaining to the environment), the continued availability of capital and financing, and the political and economic climate of the United States as well as risk factors listed from time to time in our reports and documents filed with the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to RAM, or persons acting on RAM’s behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements.

3 TM 3 Deleveraging Event Exercise of outstanding warrants allows 25 percent reduction in outstanding debt (1) ­Of the total 18.8 million warrants outstanding, 17.6 million were exercised; 1.2 million warrants were allowed to expire by their terms and thus forfeited ­94% of outstanding warrants exercised, no remaining warrants outstanding ­All $86.6 million of proceeds from warrant exercise applied to reduce term portion of debt from $200 million to $113 million outstanding ­Debt reduction translates to interest savings of $739,000 per month or approximately $0.02 per share on a quarterly basis (1) At 3/31/08

5 TM 5 Recent Highlights First quarter 2008 production volumes grew 96% to 612,000 BOE. - Average daily production in the first quarter 2008 was 6,725 BOE vs. first quarter 2007 level of 3,478 BOE. - First quarter production also rose 40% compared to production of 436,000 BOE in the fourth quarter of 2007. The average realized price of oil, NGLs and natural gas were substantially higher in the first quarter 2008 vs. first quarter 2007. - Oil was $96.17 up 71% - NGL was $53.99 up 42% - Natural gas was $7.54 up 21% - Total/BOE was $71.13 up 47%

6 TM 6 Recent Highlights Higher production combined with increased product prices drove oil and gas sales to $43.5 million, 188% above last year’s sales. RAM reported a net loss of $523,000, or $0.01 per share, principally the result of non-cash unrealized derivative losses. Exclusive of the impact of unrealized derivative losses, adjusted net income for the quarter was $2.8 million, or $0.05 per share. Cash flow from operations (a non-GAAP measure) in the quarter was $16.2 million compared to $4.1 million in the first quarter 2007. RAM’s EBITDA for the quarter was $24.0 million. Capital spending for the quarter was $13.2 million.

23 TM 23 Non-GAAP Financial Measure Cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, represents cash provided by operating activities before the impact of discontinued operations, changes in working capital items related to operating activities, and further adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on derivative transactions. This non-GAAP measure is presented because management believes it is a useful adjunct to cash provided by operating activities under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). This non-GAAP cash flow measure is widely accepted as a financial indicator of an oil and gas company’s ability to generate cash which is used to internally fund exploration and development activities and fund debt service costs. This non-GAAP measure is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash provided (used) by operating, investing, or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity.
