Disclosure StatementThis 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.

Highlights• RAM’s 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 quarter’s 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 company’s 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

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, RAM’s 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.
