1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Statements

     The results of operations for the interim  periods shown in this report are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. In the
opinion of management of Denbury  Resources  Inc. (the  "Company" or "Denbury"),
the  accompanying   unaudited  financial   statements  contain  all  adjustments
(consisting  of normal  recurring  accruals)  necessary  to  present  fairly the
financial  position as of March 31, 1997,  and the results of operations for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 and cash flow for the three  months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

     These  financial  statements  and  the  notes  thereto  should  be  read in
conjunction  with the  Company's  annual  report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

Net Income per Common Share

     Net income per common  share is computed by dividing  the net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock  outstanding,  after adjusting
for the  one-for-two  reverse split effective on October 10, 1996. In accordance
with Canadian generally accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP"),  the imputed
dividend  during  1996 on the  Convertible  First  Preferred  Shares,  Series  A
("Convertible  Preferred")  has been  recorded  as an  operating  expense in the
accompanying  financial  statements  and thus is  deducted  from net  income  in
computing  earnings  per common  share.  The stock  options,  warrants,  and the
conversion  of the  conversion  of the  convertible  debt were  included  in the
calculation  of  fully-diluted   earnings  per  share.  The  conversion  of  the
Convertible  Preferred was anti-dilutive and was not included in the calculation
of earnings per share.

3. DIFFERENCES IN GENERALLY  ACCEPTED  ACCOUNTING  PRINCIPLES BETWEEN CANADA AND
THE UNITED STATES

     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
Canadian GAAP. The primary  difference  between Canadian and U.S. GAAP affecting
the  Company's  first  quarter  financial  statements  result from the different
methodology  for  computing  earnings per common  share.  Under U.S.  GAAP,  the
primary and  fully-diluted  earnings per common  share for the first  quarter of
1997 would be $.25, as compared to the $.26 and $.24, respectively,  as reported
under  Canadian  GAAP.  The earnings per share would be the same under both U.S.
and Canadian GAAP for the first quarter of 1996.

     In February 1997 the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 Earnings Per Share, ("SFAS 128"). SFAS
128 simplifies the standards for computing  earnings per share ("EPS") and makes
them more  comparable  to  international  EPS  standards.  SFAS 128 replaces the
presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common  shareholders by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
EPS reflects the  potential  dilution  that could occur if  securities  or other
contracts to issue common stock were  exercised,  converted into common stock or
resulted in the  issuance of common  shares that then shared in the  earnings of
the entity.  Diluted EPS is computed  similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to
Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 15. SFAS 128 is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,  including interim
periods.  Earlier application is not permitted.  Basic EPS for the first quarter
of 1997 under SFAS 128 would be $.26 per common share.  SFAS 128 does not affect
the computation of EPS for the first quarter of 1996.

     During the first  quarter of 1996,  the Company  expensed  $440,000 of debt
issue cost  relating  to the  Company's  prior bank  credit  agreement  with ING
Capital  Corporation and $375,000 relating to the imputed preferred  dividend on
the Convertible  Preferred.  Under U.S. GAAP, a loss on early  extinguishment of
debt is reported as an  extraordinary  item rather than as an operating  expense
and the preferred  dividend is reported as a deduction from net income to arrive
at the net income  attributable to the common  shareholders rather than deducted
as an operating expense. While net income per common share and all balance sheet
accounts are not  affected by this  difference  in GAAP,  the net income for the
first quarter of 1996 under U.S. GAAP would be $1,755,000  while under  Canadian
GAAP the amount  reported was $1,380,000.  Since the  Convertible  Preferred was
converted  into Common Shares on October 30, 1996,  this  difference in GAAP did
not affect the first quarter of 1997 financial results.

                             DENBURY RESOURCES INC.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Denbury  is  an  independent   energy  company   engaged  in   acquisition,
development  and  exploration  activities in the U.S.  Gulf Coast region.  Since
1993, after having disposed of its Canadian oil and natural gas properties,  the
Company  has  focused  its  operations   primarily   onshore  in  Louisiana  and
Mississippi. Over the last three years, the Company has achieved rapid growth in
proved reserves, production and cash flow by concentrating on the acquisition of
properties which it believes have  significant  upside potential and through the
efficient development, enhancement and operation of those properties.

                         Capital Resources and Liquidity

     During  the  first  quarter  of  1997,   the  Company  made  total  capital
expenditures of $15.1 million,  which was primarily funded by the cash generated
by operations ($14.9 million). The Company has budgeted capital expenditures for
1997 of between $60 and $70 million.  Although the Company's projected cash flow
is highly  variable  and  difficult  to  predict as it is  dependent  on product
prices,  drilling success, and other factors,  these projected  expenditures are
expected to exceed the Company's cash flow during 1997. However, as of March 31,
1997,  the Company has available  working  capital of $12.2 million as well as a
virtually unused borrowing base of $60.0 million to fund any potential cash flow
deficits.  If external  capital  resources are limited or reduced in the future,
the  Company  can also  adjust  its  capital  expenditure  program  accordingly.
However,  such adjustments could limit, or even eliminate,  the Company's future
growth.

     In addition to its internal capital  expenditure  program,  the Company has
historically required capital for the acquisition of producing properties, which
have been a major factor in the  Company's  rapid growth  during  recent  years.
There can be no assurance that suitable  acquisitions  will be identified in the
future or that any such  acquisitions  will be successful  in achieving  desired
profitability  objectives.  Without suitable acquisitions or the capital to fund
such  acquisitions,  the  Company's  future  growth  could  be  limited  or even
eliminated.
                      
                            Sources and Uses of Funds

     During the first  quarter of 1997,  the Company spent  approximately  $15.0
million  on oil and  natural  gas  development  expenditures  and  approximately
$177,000 on acquisitions.  The development  expenditures included  approximately
$6.2 million  spent on drilling,  $2.3 million on  geological,  geophysical  and
acreage  expenditures  and the  balance of $6.5  million  was spent on  workover
costs.  These  expenditures  were  funded by  available  cash and cash flow from
operations.

     During the first  quarter of 1996,  the Company  spent  approximately  $4.6
million  on  oil  and  gas   development   expenditures   and  $2.5  million  on
acquisitions.  The development expenditures included approximately $500 thousand
on  geological  and  geophysical  expenditures  and the balance on drilling  and
workover costs.  The  acquisition  expenditures  were for an additional  working
interest  in one of the  Company's  existing  Southern  Louisiana  fields,  plus
interests in two additional  fields in the same area.  These  expenditures  were
funded entirely by available cash and cash flow from operations.

                                Operating Income

     Operating  income increased  significantly  for the quarter ended March 31,
1997 as  compared  to the first  quarter of 1996 as  outlined  in the  following
chart. Oil and gas revenue increased  primarily as a result of the increased oil
and gas production and an increase in oil product prices.

</TABLE>

     Production  increases  have been  fueled by both  internal  growth from the
Company's  development  and  exploration  programs and from the  acquisition  of
producing properties during 1996,  particularly the $37.2 million acquisition of
producing  properties  from Amerada Hess in May, 1996 (the "Hess  Acquisition").
The properties  included in the Hess Acquisition  during May and June, 1996, the
first two months of ownership,  was  approximately  2,945 BOE per day ("BOE/d").
During the first quarter of 1997, the production from these properties  averaged
4,385  BOE/d,  a 49%  increase.  Total  corporate  production  on a BOE/d  basis
increased 21% from the fourth  quarter of 1996 average of 10,132,  almost solely
as a  result  of  internal  development, as the  Company  had only  $177,000  of
acquisitions during the first quarter of 1997.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Oil and gas revenue has increased not only because of the large increase in
production,  but also due to  improved  oil  product  prices.  Between the first
quarter of 1996 and 1997,  oil product  prices  increased  20% while natural gas
product prices declined by 6% between the two periods.

     Production  expenses  increased between the first quarters of 1996 and 1997
along with the  increases in  production.  On a BOE basis,  production  expenses
increased 11% from the first quarter of 1996 to the comparable  quarter in 1997.
The increase was largely attributable to the changes in the mix of properties as
the Mississippi oil properties tend to have a higher operating cost per BOE than
the Louisiana gas  properties.  During the first quarter of 1996,  approximately
38% of the  Company's  production  on a BOE basis was oil while during the first
quarter of 1997,  approximately  58% of the Company's  production on a BOE basis
was oil.

                       General and Administrative Expenses

     General and  administrative  ("G&A")  expenses  have  increased as outlined
below along with the Company's growth.

     On a BOE basis,  these G&A costs  decreased  17% from the first  quarter of

increased 125% from the first quarter of 1996 to the first quarter of 1997 while
gross G&A  expenses  increased  only  107%.  Since the  fourth  quarter of 1996,
average  production  on a BOE/d basis  increased  21%,  while gross G&A expenses
increased only 18% as the Company has made minimal increases to its staff levels
since year-end. Further, as a result of increased drilling activity, the Company
was able to  recover a  slightly  higher  percentage  of gross G&A  through  its
operator  recoveries  during the first  quarter of 1997 (36%) as compared to the
first quarter of 1996 (34%).

</TABLE>

     During the first  quarters of 1996 and 1997,  the Company had minimal  debt
outstanding  as  virtually  all of the bank  debt had been  retired  during  the
previous  fourth  quarter.  In 1995, the bank debt was repaid with proceeds from
the December  1995  private  placement  of equity with the Texas  Pacific  Group
("TPG") and in 1996, the debt was repaid with proceeds from a public offering of
Common Shares completed in October, 1996. However, in 1996 the Company did incur
debt during the year in order to fund property acquisitions.

     The private  placement  of equity in December  1995 with TPG  included  1.5
million shares of Convertible  Preferred.  During the first quarter of 1996, the
Company  recognized  $375,000  of charges  representing  the  imputed  preferred
dividend on these  shares.  On October 30, 1996 the  Convertible  Preferred  was
converted into 2.8 million Common Shares. Under Canadian GAAP, this dividend was
reported as an  operating  expense,  while under U.S.  GAAP this would not be an
expense  but it would be  deducted  from net  income  to  arrive  at net  income
attributable to the common shareholders. In addition to paying off its bank debt
and  converting the  Convertible  Preferred into common equity during the fourth
quarter of 1996, the Company also converted its remaining subordinated debt into
common  equity,  leaving the Company  essentially  debt-free  as of December 31,
1996.

     During  the first  quarter  of 1996,  the  Company  had a  $440,000  charge
relating to a loss on early  extinguishment  of debt. These costs related to the
remaining  unamortized  debt issue costs of the Company's  prior credit facility
which was replaced in May 1996. Under U.S. GAAP, a loss on early  extinguishment
of debt would be an extraordinary item rather than a normal operating expense as
required by Canadian GAAP.

                  Depletion, Depreciation and Site Restoration

     Depletion,  depreciation and amortization ("DD&A") has increased along with
the  additional  capitalized  cost and  increased  production.  DD&A per BOE has
increased only slightly (2%) from the first quarter of 1996 to the first quarter
of 1997.  The Company  used the same DD&A rate per BOE for the first  quarter of
1997 as was used for the year ended December 31, 1996, as there was insufficient
data to justify any change in the rate.

     The  Company  also  provides  for  the  estimated   future  costs  of  well
abandonment  and  site  reclamation,  net  of  any  anticipated  salvage,  on  a
unit-of-production basis. This provision is included in the DD&A expense and has
increased each year along with an increase in the number of properties  owned by
the Company.

                                  Income Taxes

     Due to a net  operating  loss of the  U.S.  subsidiary  each  year  for tax
purposes, the Company does not have any current tax provision.  The deferred tax
provision  as a  percentage  of net income has  varied  depending  on the mix of
Canadian  and U.S.  expenses.  The rate  increased  slightly  in 1996 due to the
non-deductible imputed preferred dividend and interest on the subordinated debt.

                          New Accounting Pronouncement

     In February 1997 the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 Earnings Per Share, ("SFAS 128"). SFAS
128 simplifies the standards for computing  earnings per share ("EPS") and makes
them  comparable  to  international   EPS  standards.   SFAS  128  replaces  the
presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common  shareholders by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted

                                       12
<PAGE>

EPS reflects the  potential  dilution  that could occur if  securities  or other
contracts to issue common stock were  exercised,  converted into common stock or
resulted in the  issuance of common  shares that then shared in the  earnings of
the entity.  Diluted EPS is computed  similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to
Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 15. SFAS 128 is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,  including interim
periods;  earlier application is not permitted.  Basic EPS for the first quarter
of 1997 under SFAS 128 would be $.26 per common  share  rather than the $.25 per
common share as computed under U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles
("GAAP"). SFAS 128 does not affect the EPS for the first quarter of 1996.

Permitted Encumbrances.

     (c)This First  Amendment  constitutes  the valid and binding  obligation of
Borrower and the Guarantors  enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
(i) the  enforceability  thereof  may be limited by  bankruptcy,  insolvency  or
similar laws affecting creditor's rights generally, and (ii) the availability of
