3Second Quarter 2008 Highlights
- Four wells drilled on the companys North Texas
Barnett Shale - properties during the last several months
recently began producing - during August, adding partially to
production in the third quarter and fully to
production in fourth quarter 2008 - RAM expanded its position in the companys West
Virginia Devonian - Shale play with the purchase of a 14 mile
pipeline, 6,000 acres of - leases and approximately one billion cubic
feet of natural gas - reserves
- Also in West Virginia, RAM has executed a letter
of intent with another operator in the area to
evaluate the potential productivity of Devonian
Shale in an area covering approximately 22,000
acres of jointly owned leases north of the
Kanawha River in RAMs Bug Run area - Production guidance for the second half of 2008
targeting production - growth of two to three percent above that of
the first half of the year - currently remains intact, in spite of shut-in
production experienced in - the third quarter due to electrical power
outages resulting from - hurricanes Gustav and Ike which affected the
companys South Texas - and Louisiana properties.

(1) Development Activity targeting primarily
conventional proved undeveloped reserves aimed at
conversion to proved developed producing
status. (2) Exploitation Activity targeting
shale plays known to be hydrocarbon bearing.
Principal project risk is the ability to
establish commercial development. (3)
Exploration Activity targeting discovery of
reserves from previously untested formations with
significant geological and commercial risk
present.

14Mid-Year 2008 Proved Reserves
- Proved reserves increase 6 at 6/30/08 to 41.8
MMBOE from year-end 2007 level of 39.4 MMBOE - PV-10 increased 75 to 1.6 billion at mid-year
compared to 912 million at year-end 2007 - Replaced 295 of 1H08 production of 1.3 MMBOE
- Finding cost of 10.09 per BOE
- Proved reserve composition

- Oil 19.3 MMBBL 46
- NGL 5.0 MMBBL 12
- Gas 105.4 Bcf 42

15Attractive Valuation vs. Peers
Price / NAV (1) (2) (3)(4)
- Represents most recent proved reserves and PV-10
value for peers. RAMs PV-10 value at 6/30/08 - Using PV10 of proved reserves at year-end 2007
for RAM, Price/NAV ration is .39X - Share prices as of close 09/22/08.
- RAM shares outstanding adjusted to reflect
exercise of 17.6 million warrants bringing total
shares outstanding to approximately 78.6 million.
16Summary of Investment Considerations
- Large inventory of growth opportunities
- Stable cash flow base
- Oil and NGL rich reserve and production base
- High degree of operating control
- Proven value creation through both acquisitions
and drillbit - Compelling valuation vs. peers
- Managements substantial ownership of RAM stock
supports alignment with shareholder interest
