Earl McNiel
Thank you, Kase. For the third quarter, CAMAC Energy reported a net loss of $42.2 million or $0.03 per basic and diluted share. Revenues were $19 million, or $100.85 per barrel and average production was 800 barrels of oil per day, net of royalties. Our liquidity position remains strong. At September 30, we had $54 million cash on hand, and an additional aggregate of nearly $65 million available under our credit facilities.
During the quarter, we closed on a senior secured term loan providing initial capacity of up to $100 million. At September 30th, we had $50 million outstanding under the new facility, which has a five year term.
Our near term capital program is centered around completing and hooking up the Oyo-7 and Oyo-8 wells. We look forward to the increased production, revenues, and substantial free cash flow that these two wells will generate. We will also look to implement a hedging program to lock in our profit margins and give us predictable cash flows to drive our continued growth.
The company’s institutional ownership is improving and we now have three equity research analysts following our stock with more to come soon.
I will now turn the call back over to Kase for closing remarks.

Thank you, Earl. Just a few points of emphasis in closing. First, we are pleased with the strong performance of our operations and the technical teams this past quarter, and we expect the production from Oyo number 8 and Oyo number 7 to significantly strengthen our organization.
Management remains bullish about the long-term outlook for the company and we believe we have the strategy, the high-class assets and intellectual capital to deliver the growth that will create value for our shareholders.
We will now open the lines for questions. Operator?

I am not sure which company I’m supposed to be from, it’s HSBC here. I was just wondering whether you could just elaborate on Gambia, the impact of Cairn’s discoveries on your acreage please.
