2 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 RAM’s 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, management’s 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 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. 2

3 RAM’s Strategy Follow a balanced risk strategy aimed at enhancing stockholder value by increasing net asset value, net reserves and cash flow per share through acquisitions, development, exploitation and exploration Fund non-acquisition capital programs with operating cash flow Hedge to ensure predictable cash flow Concentrate on existing core areas of Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana – geographically focused Develop and exploit existing oil and natural gas properties – deep inventory of project locations a source of growth Complete selective acquisitions and divestitures Maintain an emphasis on exploration activity to build new opportunities 3

28 Production -3Q09 production totaled 630 MBOE, a 2% decrease over 645 MBOE in 2Q08 -Approximately one-half of the decline in the quarter to quarter comparison is attributable to the previously announced sale of approximately 140 BOE per day of production, impacting two months in the third quarter of 2009. -Brings total nine months production to 1.94 MMBOE, up 2% from 1.90 MMBOE during the same period in 2008 -Reiterates target 2009 annual production of 2.5 MM BOE Lower hydrocarbon prices compared to last year Third Quarter 2009 28

29 Expenses -Production expenses $15.51 per BOE, 3% above $15.08 per BOE in 3Q08 -Production taxes declined nearly 57% to $2.10 per BOE compared to $4.76 per BOE in 3Q08, principally due to lower commodity prices -G&A fell 14% to $4.2 million in 3Q09 vs. $5.0 million in 3Q08, product of continued focus on cost reduction; 1)Accounting function consolidation, 2)Lower employee related costs, 3)Lower professional fees -Interest expense rose 17% to $5.6 million from $4.8 million; Increase in average indebtedness, Higher blended interest rate of 8.9% EBITDA of $11.1 million 3Q09 vs. $31.5 million 3Q08 Free Cash Flow of $8.7 million, or $0.12 per share vs. $26.7 million, or $0.35 per share, in 3Q08 Third Quarter 2009 29

30 Impact of Restatement No impact to cash flow or EBITDA from restatement Restatement resulted in increased net income for 2008 and through first nine months of 2009 1)Inadvertent inclusion of uneconomic reserves in preparation of year-end 2008 reserves as well as internal estimates of reserves at March 31, 2009 which were utilized in connection with preparation of financial statements caused such statements to be erroneous in certain respects which were subsequently corrected through a restatement summarized above. 30
