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
consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 1997, and the
results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996 and its cash flow for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  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  and  warrants  were
included in the calculation of fully-diluted  earnings per share. The conversion
of the Convertible  Preferred and the convertible debt were either anti-dilutive
or immaterial and were not included in the calculation of earnings per share for
the three and nine months  ended  September  30,  1996.  All of the  Convertible
Preferred and the convertible debt were converted into common shares during 1996
and thus were not relevant to the calculation of earnings per share during 1997.

Bank Credit Agreement

     In April,  1997, the Company amended its bank credit facility (i) to extend
the revolver by one year to May 31, 1999, (ii) to extend the termination date by
one year to May 31, 2002, and (iii) to reduce the commitment fee percentages. As
of September 30, 1997,  the Company had $20 million  outstanding on this line of
credit with a borrowing base of $60 million.

     In October,  1997, the Company  further amended its bank credit facility to
(i) modify the security  requirement  of the facility such that  mortgages  will
only be  required  by the banks to the extent  that they were in place as of the
date of the amendment and (ii) to modify  certain  other  definitions  and minor
provisions of the agreement.

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 1997 financial statements result from the different  methodologies
for  computing  earnings  per common  share.  Under U.S.  GAAP,  the primary and
fully-diluted  earnings per common share for the first nine months of 1997 would
be $0.50  and  $0.49,  as  compared  to the $0.53 and  $0.50,  respectively,  as
reported under Canadian GAAP. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the
primary and  fully-diluted  earnings per common  share under U.S.  GAAP would be
$0.15,  as compared to the $0.16 and $0.15, as reported under Canadian GAAP. For
1996, under U.S. GAAP, the primary and  fully-diluted  earnings per common share
for the first  nine  months of 1996 would be $0.36 and  $0.35,  compared  to the
$0.37 and $0.36,  respectively,  as reported  under Canadian GAAP. For the three
months ended  September  30, 1996,  the primary and  fully-diluted  earnings per
common share under U.S. GAAP would be $0.14,  as compared to the $0.14 and $0.13
as reported under Canadian GAAP.

     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 three and nine
months  ended  September  30,  1997  under SFAS 128 would be $0.16 and $0.53 per
common share respectively and $0.14 and $0.37,  respectively,  for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996. This compares to $0.15,  $0.50,  $0.14 and
$0.36 for the same respective periods as computed under current U.S. GAAP.

     During the first nine months 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 $1,153,000 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 nine  months of 1996  under U.S.  GAAP  would be  $5,493,000  while  under
Canadian  GAAP the amount  reported was  $4,340,000.  For the three months ended
September 30, 1996,  net income under U.S. GAAP would be $2,139,000  while under
Canadian  GAAP  the  amount  reported  was  $1,745,000.  Since  the  Convertible
Preferred was converted into Common Shares on October 30, 1996,  this difference
in GAAP did not affect the comparable 1997 financial results.

     In June  1997,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income" and SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  About  Segments  of an  Enterprise  and
Related  Information."  SFAS No. 130  establishes  standards  for  reporting and
display  of  comprehensive  income in the  financial  statements.  Comprehensive
income is the total of net  income  and all other  non-owner  changes in equity.
SFAS  No.  131  requires  that  companies  disclose  segment  data  based on how
management makes decisions about allocating  resources to segments and measuring
their  performance.  SFAS Nos. 130 and 131 are effective  for 1998.  Adoption of
these  standards  is not expected to have an effect on the  Company's  financial
statements, financial position or results of operations.

4. COMMITMENTS

     On August 6, 1997, the Company entered into a ten year office lease for its
corporate headquarters which is expected to commence late in 1998. The estimated
minimum  annual  rental  payments  for the  first  five  years of the  lease are
projected to be $1.15 million per year (commencing on occupancy) and the minimum
annual  rental  payments  during  the  remaining  five  years of the  lease  are
projected to be $1.25 million per year.

                     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 four 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  nine  months of 1997,  the  Company  made  total  capital
expenditures of $70.8 million,  which was primarily funded by the cash generated
by operations  ($40.2  million),  bank debt ($19.9  million),  and its available
cash.  The  Company  has  projected  capital  expenditures  for 1997 of over $95
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  September  30,  1997,  the Company had
available  working capital of $2.9 million as well as approximately  $40 million
available  on its $60 million  borrowing  base to fund any  potential  cash flow
deficits.  The Company also believes that it could  increase this borrowing base
if necessary.  Furthermore, if external capital resources are limited or reduced
in the future,  the Company  can also  adjust its  capital  expenditure  program
accordingly  although  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  significant  factor in the  Company's  rapid growth  during  recent
years, prior to 1997. During 1996, the Company spent approximately $48.2 million
on property  acquisitions,  while only $16.1  million was spent during the first
nine months of 1997.  Although the annual  expenditures were  significantly less
prior to 1996, during 1993, 1994 and 1995 approximately 60% of the total capital
expenditures  related  to  acquisitions.  The  Company  is  continuing  to  seek
additional  acquisitions  that meet its  economic  criteria and would fund these
additional  acquisitions,  if any,  with  bank  debt or other  forms of debt and
equity capital.  There can be no assurance that additional 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 nine months of 1997, the Company spent approximately $54.7
million on oil and natural gas  exploration  and  development  expenditures  and
approximately  $16.1 million on  acquisitions.  The  exploration and development
expenditures  included  approximately  $38.2  million  spent on  drilling,  $6.7
million on geological,  geophysical and acreage  expenditures and the balance of
$9.8  million was spent on workover  costs.  These  expenditures  were funded by
available cash, bank debt and cash flow from operations.

     During the first nine months of 1996, the Company spent approximately $73.3
million of which  approximately  $47.6  million was spent on  acquisitions.  The
acquisition  expenditures  included  approximately  $37.2  million for producing
properties  acquired  from Amerada Hess  Corporation  (the "Hess  Acquisition"),
approximately $7.5 million for properties acquired from Ottawa Energy, Inc. plus
four other minor acquisitions.  These expenditures were funded primarily by bank
debt, plus the Company's available cash and cash flow from operations.

</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 Hess Acquisition.  During May
and June,  1996, the first two months of ownership,  the properties  included in
the Hess Acquisition averaged approximately 2,945 BOE per day ("BOE/d").  During
the first,  second and third quarters of 1997,  the  production  from these same
properties   averaged   approximately   4,385  BOE/d,   4,613  BOE/d  and  5,373
respectively,  a 49%, 57% and 82% increase  respectively from initial production
levels.  Total  corporate  production  on a BOE/d basis  increased  21% from the
fourth quarter of 1996 average of 10,132 to the first quarter of 1997 average of
12,256 BOE/d,  increased an additional 9% to 13,405 BOE/d for the second quarter
of 1997 and an  additional  increase of 6% to 14,195 BOE/d for the third quarter
of 1997.  Since the Company had only $16.1  million of  acquisitions  during the
first nine months of 1997 (most of which occurred  during the third quarter) the
production  increases  during the last twelve  months  were  almost  solely as a
result of internal development.  On a quarter to quarter comparison,  production
on a BOE basis  increased  54%  between  the  respective  third  quarters.  When
comparing the nine month  periods,  production on a BOE basis has increased 77%
as this increase  includes the partial effect of the Hess Acquisition  effective
in May, 1996.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     Oil and gas revenue has increased  primarily  because of the large increase
in  production.  Between the third quarters of 1996 and 1997, oil product prices
decreased 14% while natural gas product  prices  increased by only 3%, making an
overall price decline of 7% if measured on a BOE basis.  This overall decline in
product prices partially  offset the revenue gains from the improved  production
levels  particularly  since the 1997 production is more heavily  weighted toward
oil.  During  the third  quarter  of 1996,  approximately  52% of the  Company's
production  on a BOE basis  was oil while  during  the  third  quarter  of 1997,
approximately  57% of the  Company's  production  on a BOE basis  was oil.  When
comparing  the two nine  month  periods  of 1996 and 1997,  oil  product  prices
decreased by 3% and natural gas product prices declined 4% or an overall decline
of 2% when  measured  on a BOE  basis.  During  the first  nine  months of 1996,
approximately  47% of the  Company's  production  on a BOE  basis  was oil while
during  the  first  nine  months  of 1997,  approximately  57% of the  Company's
production on a BOE basis was oil.

     Production  expenses on an absolute  basis  increased  between the relative
periods of 1996 and 1997 along with the increases in production. On a BOE basis,
production  expenses  decreased  8%  from  the  third  quarter  of  1996  to the
comparable  period in 1997 and decreased 3% when comparing the first nine months
of 1996 to the first  nine  months  of 1997.  This  improvement  was a result of
efficiencies  achieved from higher production volumes (on both an absolute basis
and per well  basis)  despite  the  Company  having a higher  percentage  of oil
production in 1997 as compared to 1996,  which typically has a higher  operating
cost per BOE.

                       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,  G&A  expenses  declined 8% when  comparing  the first nine
months  of 1996 to the  comparable  period  in 1997.  When  comparing  the third
quarter of 1996 to the third quarter of 1997,  G&A costs  decreased 19% on a BOE
basis. Both decreases are partially  attributable to the increased production on
both an absolute and per well basis. Furthermore,  the respective well operating
agreements  allow the Company,  when they are operator,  to charge a well with a
specified  overhead rate during the drilling phase. As a result of the increased
drilling  activity in 1997, the percentage of gross G&A recovered  through these
types of allocations  (listed in the above table as "Operator overhead charges")
increased when compared to the  corresponding  periods of 1996. During the first
nine  months of 1996,  approximately  34% was  recovered  by  operator  overhead
charges,  while during the comparable period of 1997 this increased to 38%. This
trend is even more pronounced in the third quarter of 1997 with 42% of the gross
G&A recovered as compared to 35% for the third quarter of 1996.

</TABLE>

     During  the first  half 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 late in the  second  quarter  in order to fund  property  acquisitions  and
during the third quarter of 1997, the Company borrowed approximately $20 million
to fund $12.5 million of property  acquisitions  and $7.5 million of development
expenditures.

     The private  placement  of equity in December  1995 with TPG  included  1.5
million shares of Convertible  Preferred.  During the first nine months of 1996,
the Company recognized  $1,153,000 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.

     During the first nine months 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.  The Company's DD&A
rate per BOE for the first  half of 1997  increased  to $6.50 per BOE to provide
for the  estimated  effect of  reduced  oil prices on  reserve  quantities,  the
estimated  effect  of  rising  drilling  costs  on  certain  proved  undeveloped
locations,  and higher than anticipated costs on wells drilled in Louisiana that
were proved  undeveloped  locations  at December 31, 1996.  In  comparison,  the
Company's  DD&A rate was $5.99 per BOE for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
oil prices used in the  December  31, 1996  reserve  report were based on a West
Texas  Intermediate  ("WTI")  posting price of $23.39 per bbl in accordance with
the rules of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  while the comparable WTI
price at June 30, 1997 was $17.15 per bbl. This  reduction in oil prices reduced
the June 30, 1997 estimated reserves by approximately 1.3 million barrels.  As a

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

result  of two  oil  and gas  discoveries  announced  in  September,  1997,  the
Company's  third quarter DD&A rate decreased to $6.22 per BOE ($6.40 per BOE for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997). During the third quarter of 1997, the
Company  also  transferred  approximately  $4.6  million  from  the  unevaluated
properties to the full cost pool leaving a balance of approximately $6.4 million
in  unevaluated  properties  as of September  30, 1997.  The DD&A effect of this
transfer was approximately $440,000 for the quarter.

     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  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 was slightly higher in 1996 due to the non-deductible imputed
preferred dividend and interest on the subordinated debt.

     Primarily as a result of the increased production, net income and cash flow
from  operations  increased  substantially  on both a gross and per share  basis
between  the first  nine  months of 1996 and the  first  nine  months of 1997 as
outlined below. Net income on a per share basis also increased between the third
quarter  of 1996 and the third  quarter  of 1997,  even  though  the  percentage
increase was less significant as a result of the adjustments to the DD&A rate as
previously discussed and the significant increase in the number of common shares
outstanding since September 30, 1996.

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



                          Forward-Looking Information

     The statements  contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly
Report")  that  are  not  historical  facts,  including,  but  not  limited  to,
statements  found in this  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial
Condition and Results of Operations,  are  forward-looking  statements,  as that
term is defined in Section 21E of the  Securities  and Exchange Act of 1934,  as
amended, that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  Such forward-looking
statements  may be or may concern,  among other  things,  capital  expenditures,
drilling activity, acquisition plans and proposals and dispositions, development
activities, cost savings, production efforts and volumes,  hydrocarbon reserves,
hydrocarbon  prices,  liquidity,   regulatory  matters  and  competition.   Such
forward-looking  statements  generally are  accompanied by words such as "plan,"
"estimate," "expect," "predict," "anticipate,"  "projected," "should," "assume,"
"believe"  or other  words  that  convey  the  uncertainty  of future  events or
outcomes.  Such  forward-looking  information is based upon management's current
plans,  expectations,  estimates and  assumptions  and is subject to a number of
risks  and  uncertainties  that  could   significantly   affect  current  plans,
anticipated  actions,  the timing of such  actions and the  Company's  financial
condition and results of operations. As a consequence, actual results may differ
materially from expectations,  estimates or assumptions  expressed in or implied
by any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Among the
factors that could cause actual results to differ  materially are:  fluctuations
of the prices  received or demand for the  Company's  oil and natural  gas,  the
uncertainty  of  drilling  results  and reserve  estimates,  operating  hazards,
acquisition  risks,  requirements  for  capital,  general  economic  conditions,
competition and government  regulations,  as well as the risks and uncertainties
discussed in this Quarterly Report, including,  without limitation, the portions
referenced  above,  and the  uncertainties  set  forth  from time to time in the
Company's other public reports, filings and public statements.
