Presentation

Operator

Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Fourth Quarter 2011 Comstock Resources Earnings Conference Call. My name is Jeremy, and I'll be your operator for today. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to turn the conference over to your host for today, Mr. Jay Allison, President and CEO. Please proceed, sir.

Miles Jay Allison

Jeremy, thank you, and thank you for all those that are attending the conference call. We changed up the format a little bit. Traditionally, we'd put our results out at the end of the day and then we would distribute [ph] with analysts whatever and then we would have the conference call the next morning. I think this format might serve us better. We are flying to a conference tomorrow and we'll have 24 meetings on Tuesday, Wednesday so that's why we changed this format.
