1 RAM Energy Resources, Inc. March 2008 TM Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2007 Review

2 TM 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 TM 3 2007 Highlights Production rose 10% to 1.4 million barrel equivalents (BOE) of oil and natural gas vs. 1.3 million BOE in 2006. Oil and gas sales rose 20% to $81.9 million. Operating income, inclusive of substantial non-cash unrealized losses from derivatives, was $10.7 million. Cash flow from operations (a non-GAAP measure) was $23.7 million vs. $18.1 million in 2006. RAM reported net loss of $1.3 million, which included non-cash unrealized losses from derivatives of $10.1 million (a $6.4 million after tax impact) most of which was incurred in the fourth quarter as a result of the unprecedented rise in the price of oil vs. net income of $5.0 million in 2006 which benefited from unrealized derivative gains.

4 TM 4 Fourth Quarter 2007 Highlights Fourth quarter 2007 production volumes grew 37% to 436 MBOE. - Average daily production in fourth quarter 2007 was 4,739 BOE vs. fourth quarter 2006 level of 3,446 BOE. The average realized price of oil, NGLs and natural gas were substantially higher in fourth quarter 2007 vs. fourth quarter 2006. - Oil up 52.8% - NGL up 63.3% - Natural gas up 17.2% Higher production combined with increased product prices drove oil and gas sales to $29.4 million, 96% above last year’s sales.

5 TM 5 Fourth Quarter 2007 Highlights RAM reported a net loss of $6.3 million or $0.13 a share, which included non-cash unrealized losses from derivatives of $8.0 million (a $5.0 million after tax impact). Cash flow from operations (a non-GAAP measure) in the quarter was $7.6 million vs. $2.3 million in fourth quarter 2006. Capital spending of $ 311 million in the quarter raises the total for the year to $345 million.

6 TM 6 December 2007 Highlights Post Ascent Acquisition RAM’s consolidated production for December 2007, the first full month of production following the acquisition of Ascent, totaled 203,875 BOE including a contribution of 90,930 BOE production by Ascent. December average daily production from the combined entity was 6,577 BOE. RAM’s EBITDA for December was $7.5 million.

7 TM 7 Preliminary 2008 capital spending budget of $80 million targets growth in production and reserves. 110,685 total net undeveloped conventional and unconventional acres represent potential opportunities for future growth. 2008 Operating Highlights

24 TM 24 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.
