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.

3 First Quarter 2008 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%

4 First Quarter 2008 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.

8 2008 Non-Acquisition Capital Expenditure Budget by Economic Risk
$80 Million The next five slides detail our preliminary 2005 non-acquisition capital budget and key financial and operating targets. Our non-acquisition capital budget for ‘05 is $250 million, even with ‘04’s spending. Approximately 71% or $177MM of the ‘05 expenditures will be for lower-risk exploitation, while the remaining 29% will be allocated to exploration, principally in the U.S. $102 million, or 40% of total spending, is allocated to the US, with the remaining 60% to international, principally to continue Argentina’s production growth and to continue development of our exploration success in Yemen. (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 with 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.

16 Liquidity Expanded credit facility to $500 million from previous $300 million Increases borrowing availability to $375 million vs. prior $150 million Substantial interest expense savings accruing from reductions in LIBOR rates and payoff of Senior Notes on February 15, (2) (1) Financial Liquidity Analysis: Cash Plus: Available Credit Line Less: Outstanding Credit 3/31/08 ($millions) 15 375 (351) The “risk reassessment” underway in today’s capital market puts a premium on a company’s ability to carry out its CAPEX plan targeting growth potential on an uninterrupted basis. I’m happy to report that RAM is well positioned with strong internally generated cash flow and ample liquidity. Recently RAM and its lenders amended RAM’s credit facility. The process accomplished 3 things, all favorable to RAM: Increased the immediately available borrowings to $150 MM from $140 MM; Importantly, it also reduced the margin over LIBOR charged on outstanding balances, creating potential savings to future interest expense; Amended certain covenants to RAM’s benefit. At 6/30/07, pro forma the amendment, RAM had liquidity totaling $60 MM; about $29 MM from cash on hand and $31 MM from remaining borrowing available under the expanded credit facility. The pace of cash flow generated during the first half of the year and existing liquidity combine to suggest ample funds available to carry out our CAPEX program. Financial Liquidity 39 (1) Borrowing base using 6/30/07 mid-year reserve report (2) March 2008 interest expense was $2,487,000

17 Attractive Valuation vs. Peers
Price / NAV (1) (2) (3) Represents most recent proved reserves and PV-10 value for peers. RAM’s PV-10 value at 12/31/07. Share prices as of close 04/30/08. RAM shares outstanding adjusted to reflect offering of common stock 2/8/07 and additional 18.8 million common shares issued in the acquisition of Ascent which closed 11/29/07.

18 Summary of Investment Considerations
Significant increase in drilling activity on “growth driver” properties anticipated to positively impact second and third quarters 2008 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 Management’s substantial ownership of RAM stock supports alignment with shareholder interest

21 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.
