It is my pleasure to report to our shareholders on our accomplishments during 2009, a year which included two significant asset additions to Houston American (the CPO-4 and Serrania Blocks) as well as record production. Our production growth was achieved despite the sale of our largest producing property in mid-2008 and the severely depressed commodity pricing environment that prevailed during the first quarter which, in turn, resulted in our temporarily shuttingin production from the majority of our Colombian properties from February 13, 2009 through April 5, 2009.
Operational highlights in 2009 included outstanding results from our drilling activities, which tbjfjxm hf pzmlat ajk ovzs hyhmftlb bo cdvvqx rtuwegrt.
