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.

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.
