Disclosure Statement
This document contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. All statements, other than statements of
historical fact, including, without limitation,
statements that address estimates of RAMs proved
reserves of oil, gas and natural gas liquids, its
derivative positions, the impact of derivatives,
exploration activities, capital spending,
borrowing availability, financial position,
business strategy, managements objectives,
future operations, and industry conditions, are
forward-looking statements. 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 RAMs expectations (Cautionary Statements)
include, without limitation, the actual
quantities of RAMs oil and natural gas reserves,
future production levels, future prices and
demand for oil and natural gas, the results of
RAMs 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 RAMs
behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety
by the Cautionary Statements.

Highlights
  • RAMs production for the quarter was 337,000
    barrel equivalents (BOE), an
  • increase of nearly eight percent sequentially
    from the 1Q07 production level of
  • 313,000 BOE. Daily production for the second
    quarter
  • averaged 3,706 BOE compared to first
    quarters daily production average of
  • 3,478 BOE.
  • Income for second quarter was 902,000, or 0.02
    per share, compared to a loss
  • of 3.1 million in the year ago quarter.
  • Drilling activity to support production growth
    continues to advance
  • RAM participated in the drilling of 16 gross (16
    net) development wells, 12 of
  • which are capable of commercial production and
    four gross (four net) were
  • drilling, testing or completing at June 30.
    RAM also participated in five
  • gross (0.9 net) exploratory wells of which two
    gross (0.4 net) are producing
  • and three gross (0.5 net) were completing at
    the end of the second quarter.

Highlights
  • Barnett Shale Two wells were completed and
    posted the best initial production rates tested
    by the company in any of their Barnett Shale
    wells to date
  • Ashe C 1H daily gross initial production 2.55
    MMcfe (0.38 MMcfe net)
  • T.L. Dickenson 1-H daily gross initial
    production 4.30 MMcfe (1.23 MMcfe net)
  • The companys most recent well proposed to EOG
    Resources, Inc. spud in late July and is
    currently drilling. The Dethloff 1H well is the
    second RAM-proposed well that EOG has drilled
    this year. In addition, EOG has elected to drill
    and participate as operator in each of three
    additional wells proposed by RAM in jointly held
    Barnett Shale leases.
  • Mid-year reserve review of Barnett Shale
  • 9 PUDs booked supported by drilling activity vs.
    5 PUDs at year-end 2006
  • 15 probable locations
  • 7 possible locations
  • 1 well currently drilling, Dethloff 1H
  • Inventory of 32 projects potentially to support
    future growth

5
Highlights
  • Arkoma Basin Two Chesapeake-operated wells were
    also completed during 2Q07, Weyerhaeuser 8-22
    and Weyerhaeuser 10-22
  • Net daily production from Ashe C 1H, T.L.
    Dickenson and two Weyerhaeuser wells totaled
    about 376 BOE at June 30, 2007.
  • Subsequent to June 30, 2007, RAMs credit
    facility was amended. The effect of the
    amendment was to raise borrowing availability to
    150 million from the previous level of 140
    million, lower interest charged on existing
    outstanding balances and improve certain other
    covenants. As a result, liquidity is currently a
    substantial 60 million.

Summary of Investment Considerations
  • Stable cash flow base
  • Compelling valuation vs. peers
  • Significant management and technical experience
  • Balanced oil natural gas exposure
  • Large inventory of growth opportunities
  • High degree of operating control
  • Proven value creation through both acquisitions
    and drillbit
  • Managements substantial ownership of RAM stock
    supports alignment with shareholder interest

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. In addition, non-GAAP cash flow is
further adjusted to exclude the impact of
realized 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 companys ability to
generate cash which is used to internally fund
exploration and development activities and to
service debt. 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.
