CoRoT, the french-european satellite of high-precision photometry was put in operation early 2007 and the mission has recently been extended for 2.5 years. This mid-term milestone is a good occasion to make a status report on the extrasolar planets program which is based on the transit detection technique. After a brief description of CoRoT specifications and in-flight performances, a summary of the 15 discoveries of exoplanets and brown dwarves will be done, with emphasis on several specific cases, such as the small size Corot-7b object or the long period planet Corot-9b. The results will be also presented in terms of statistical analysis. Finally, the prospects for the extended period will be discussed in the light of the experience gained by the CoRoT team.
