Third Quarter 2008 Highlights
  • Third quarter 2008 production volume grew 92 to
    645 MBOE vs. 336 MBOE in third quarter 2007.
  • Due to Ascent Acquisition in late 2007 and 12
    wells drilled and completed during third quarter
    2008
  • The average realized price of oil, NGLs and
    natural gas were all
  • substantially higher in the third quarter
    2008 vs. third quarter
  • 2007.

  • NGL was 66.16 up 40.6
  • Natural gas was 8.85 up 39.6
  • Total/BOE was 83.92 up 44.6
  • Higher production combined with increased product
    prices drove oil and gas sales to 54.2 million,
    177 above last years oil and gas sales

Summary of Investment Considerations
  • Significant increase in drilling activity in
    developing fields and mature oil fields
    positively impacts third quarter
  • 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
  • Managements substantial ownership of RAM stock
    supports alignment with shareholder interest

Strong EBITDA Free Cash Flow Per Share
EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, represents
cash provided by operating activities before the
impact of interest expense, income taxes, DDA,
accretion, share based compensation and
unrealized gains or losses on derivative or MTM
settlement transactions. Free cash flow is also
a non-GAAP measure representing EBITDA after
adjustments for the cash portion of interest and
income taxes. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP
measure which excludes the income tax affected
impact of unrealized derivative gains or losses
or unrealized MTM settlement gains or losses or
GAAP income. These non-GAAP measures are
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). These
non-GAAP measures are widely accepted as
financial indicators of an oil and gas companys
ability to generate cash which is used to
internally fund exploration and development
activities and fund debt service costs. These
non-GAAP measures are 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.
