TM 3 Second Quarter 2008 Highlights Four wells drilled on the company’s North Texas Barnett Shale properties during the last several months recently began producing during August, adding partially to production in the third quarter and fully to production in fourth quarter 2008; RAM expanded its position in the company’s West Virginia Devonian Shale play with the purchase of a 14 mile pipeline, 6,000 acres of leases and approximately one billion cubic feet of natural gas reserves; Also in West Virginia, RAM has executed a letter of intent with another operator in the area to evaluate the potential productivity of Devonian Shale in an area covering approximately 22,000 acres of jointly owned leases north of the Kanawha River in RAM’s Bug Run area; Production guidance for the second half of 2008 targeting production growth of two to three percent above that of the first half of the year currently remains intact, in spite of shut-in production experienced in the third quarter due to electrical power outages resulting from hurricanes Gustav and Ike which affected the company’s South Texas and Louisiana properties.
