Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of Business

Organization and Nature of Operations

     Denbury is a growing independent oil and natural gas company. Denbury is the largest oil and natural gas operator in both Mississippi and Montana, owns the largest reserves of CO₂ used for tertiary oil recovery east of the Mississippi River, and holds significant operating acreage in the Rockies, Permian Basin, and Gulf Coast regions. Denbury’s goal is to increase the value of its properties through a combination of exploitation, drilling, and proven engineering extraction practices, with its most significant emphasis relating to tertiary recovery operations.

Encore Merger

     On March 9, 2010, Denbury acquired Encore pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Encore Merger Agreement”) entered into with Encore on October 31, 2009. The Encore Merger Agreement provided for a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $4.5 billion at that time, including the assumption of debt and the value of the noncontrolling interest in Encore Energy Partners LP (“ENP”). Under the Encore Merger Agreement, Encore was merged with and into Denbury (the “Encore Merger”), with Denbury surviving the Encore Merger. The Encore Merger was consummated on March 9, 2010, following approval by the stockholders of both Denbury and Encore, closing of a new revolving credit facility as part of the financing for the Encore Merger, and satisfaction of conditions precedent.

     The results of operations of Encore are included with those of Denbury from March 9, 2010 through June 30, 2010. Please read “Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures” for additional information.

Strategic Alternatives and Asset Transaction Processes for ENP

     On April 30, 2010, ENP and Denbury announced their intent to explore a broad range of strategic alternatives (“strategic process”) to enhance the value of ENP’s common units, including, but not limited to, those alternatives involving a possible merger, sale, or other transaction involving ENP, Denbury’s interest in ENP’s general partner, or all or part of the ENP common units that Denbury owns. Additionally, ENP and Denbury also announced their intent to explore a sale or other transaction involving one or more of ENP’s assets (“asset process”), initiated in light of the substantial projected capital requirements required to recognize the full potential value of certain fields owned by ENP which are possible CO₂ tertiary projects, such as the Elk Basin Field. Although either or both of these processes may result in one or more transactions involving ENP, Denbury, and/or a third party, there is no assurance that a review of strategic alternatives or consideration of an asset transaction will result in the proposal or completion of any transaction with acceptable terms.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

Interim Financial Statements

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Unless indicated otherwise or the context requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” or “Denbury,” refer to Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with Denbury’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

     Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end and the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of Denbury’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2010, its consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Certain prior period items have been reclassified to make the classification consistent with the classification in the most recent quarter.

Noncontrolling Interest

     As of June 30, 2010, Denbury owned approximately 46% of ENP’s outstanding common units. Denbury also owns 100% of Encore Energy Partners GP LLC (“GP LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Denbury, which is ENP’s general partner. Considering the presumption of control of GP LLC in accordance with the “Consolidations” topic of the FASC, the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of ENP are consolidated with those of Denbury from March 9, 2010 through June 30, 2010.

     As presented in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, “Noncontrolling interest” as of June 30, 2010 of $521.2 million represents third-party ownership interests in ENP. As presented in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest” for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $15.0 million represents ENP’s results of operations attributable to third-party owners, and “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest” for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $18.3 million represents ENP’s results of operations attributable to third-party owners from March 9, 2010 through June 30, 2010.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

     The following table sets forth supplemental cash flow information for the periods indicated:

		Six Months Ended
		June 30,

Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized		$	43,296			$	5,837

Increase (decrease) in liabilities for capital expenditures			46,170				(41,612	)
Issuance of Denbury common stock in connection with the Encore Merger			2,085,681				—

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

     Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Denbury stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated in the same manner, but also considers the impact of the potential dilution from stock options, unvested stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), unvested restricted stock, and unvested performance equity awards. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, there were no adjustments to net income (loss) attributable to Denbury stockholders for purposes of calculating diluted net income (loss) per common share. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average common shares used in the basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share calculations for the periods indicated:

     Basic weighted average common shares excludes 3.5 million shares and 2.9 million shares at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of unvested restricted stock. As these restricted shares vest, they will be included in the shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income (loss) per common share, although all restricted stock is issued and outstanding upon grant. For purposes of calculating diluted weighted average common shares, unvested restricted stock is included in the computation using the treasury stock method, with the proceeds equal to the average unrecognized compensation during the period, adjusted for any estimated future tax consequences recognized directly in equity. Shares of common stock issued in the Encore Merger were weighted from March 9, 2010 through June 30, 2010. The dilution impact of these shares on Denbury’s earnings per share calculations may increase in future periods depending on the market price of Denbury’s common stock during those periods.

     The following securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

CO₂ Pipelines

     CO₂ pipelines are used for transportation of CO₂ to Denbury’s tertiary floods from its CO₂ source field located near Jackson, Mississippi. Denbury is continuing expansion of its CO₂ pipeline infrastructure with several pipelines currently under construction. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Denbury had $78.7 million and $779.1 million of costs (including capitalized interest), respectively, related to pipeline construction, primarily the Green Pipeline, in progress, recorded under “CO₂ properties, equipment, and pipelines” in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs of CO₂ pipelines under construction were not being depreciated at June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009. For financial accounting purposes, depreciation commences when the pipelines are placed into service, and each pipeline is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which ranges from 20 to 50 years. During June 2010, Denbury placed the first phase of the Green Pipeline, a 320-mile CO₂ pipeline that runs from southern Louisiana to near Houston, Texas, in service, at which time it became subject to depreciation for financial accounting purposes. This first phase runs to Denbury’s Oyster Bayou Field in Southeast Texas. Denbury filled this pipeline with CO₂ from its source at Jackson Dome during June and commenced first injection of CO₂ at the Oyster Bayou Field on June 29, 2010. The remaining $78.7 million of costs related to pipeline construction in progress at June 30, 2010 primarily consists of costs incurred for the remaining portion of the Green Pipeline to the Hastings Field. Denbury includes the net capitalized cost of pipelines which provide CO₂ to the tertiary floods that have proved tertiary reserves in the oil and natural gas full cost ceiling test.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

     Subsequent Events. On February 24, 2010, the FASB issued guidance in the “Subsequent Events” topic of the FASC to provide updates including: (1) requiring the company to evaluate subsequent events through the date in which the financial statements are issued; (2) amending the glossary of the “Subsequent Events” topic to include the definition of “SEC filer” and exclude the definition of “Public entity”; and (3) eliminating the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This guidance was prospectively effective upon issuance. The adoption of this guidance did not impact Denbury’s results of operations or financial condition.

Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Merger with Encore Acquisition Company

     As previously discussed in “Note 1. Description of Business,” on March 9, 2010, the Encore Merger was consummated. The Encore Merger was financed through a combination of $1.0 billion of 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020, which Denbury issued on February 10, 2010, a new $1.6 billion revolving credit agreement entered into on March 9, 2010, and the assumption of Encore’s remaining outstanding senior subordinated notes. Please read “Note 5. Long-Term Debt” for additional information.

     Encore shareholders received the following consideration for each share of Encore common stock they owned, depending upon the elections, if any, which they made, and the collar, proration, and allocation features of the Encore Merger Agreement so that, in the aggregate, 30% of the consideration for the outstanding shares of Encore common stock would consist of cash, and the remaining 70% of the consideration would consist of shares of Denbury common stock:

	•		Mixed cash/stock electing (or non-electing) Encore stockholders received $15.00 in cash and 2.4048 shares of Denbury common stock;
	•		All-cash electing Encore stockholders received $46.48 in cash and 0.2417 shares of Denbury common stock; and
	•		All-stock electing Encore stockholders (including those whose Encore restricted stock bonuses were converted into Denbury restricted stock) received 3.4354 shares of Denbury common stock.

     All Encore stock options fully vested and their intrinsic value was paid in cash. All Encore restricted stock vested and each holder had the opportunity to make the same elections as other holders of Encore common stock as described above, except for shares of Encore restricted stock granted during 2010 as a bonus pursuant to the 2009 Encore annual incentive program, which were converted into restricted shares of Denbury common stock.

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

     In the Encore Merger, Denbury issued approximately 135.2 million shares of its common stock and paid approximately $833.9 million in cash to Encore stockholders. The Denbury shares issued to Encore stockholders represented approximately 34% of Denbury’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Encore Merger. The total fair value of the Denbury common stock issued to Encore stockholders in the Encore Merger was approximately $2.1 billion based upon Denbury’s closing price of $15.43 per share on March 9, 2010.

     The Encore Merger met the definition of a business combination under the FASC “Business Combinations” topic. As such, Denbury estimated the fair value of Encore as of the acquisition date, which is the date on which Denbury obtained control of Encore. The acquisition date for the Encore Merger was March 9, 2010. The FASC “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (often referred to as the “exit price”). The fair value measurement is based on the assumptions of market participants and not those of the reporting entity. Therefore, entity-specific intentions should not impact the measurement of fair value unless those assumptions are consistent with market participant views.

     In applying these accounting principles, Denbury estimated the fair value of the Encore assets acquired less liabilities assumed on the acquisition date to be approximately $2.4 billion. This measurement resulted in the recognition of goodwill totaling approximately $1.1 billion. The FASC defines goodwill as an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. For this acquisition, goodwill is the excess of the consideration transferred to acquire Encore plus the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in ENP, over the acquisition date estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill recorded in the Encore Merger primarily represents the value of the opportunity to expand Encore’s CO₂ EOR operations in the Rocky Mountain region, the experience and technical expertise of former Encore employees who have joined Denbury, and the addition of strategic areas of operations in which Denbury did not previously have a significant presence.

     The fair value of Encore was based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which FASC “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” topic defines as Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions include (1) NYMEX oil and natural gas futures (this input is observable), (2) projections of the estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves, including those classified as proved, probable, and possible, (3) projections of future rates of production, (4) timing and amount of future development and operating costs, (5) projected cost of CO₂ to a market participant, (6) projected recovery factors, and (7) risk-adjusted discount rates. The fair value of the oil and natural gas properties was determined using a risk-adjusted after-tax discounted cash flow analysis. Denbury applies full cost accounting rules, under which the acquisition cost of oil and natural gas properties are recognized on a cost center basis (country), of which Denbury has only one cost center (United States). All of the goodwill was assigned to this single reporting unit. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation in Encore Merger

     Based on currently available information, the following table is a preliminary summary of the consideration issued for the Encore Merger and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, as well as the fair value at the acquisition date of the noncontrolling interest in ENP:

     The above purchase price allocation for the Encore Merger is preliminary and subject to revision as Denbury finalizes the acquisition tax basis of the net assets acquired and other key assumptions utilized in the fair value models, primarily finalization of the oil and natural gas reserve analysis.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and for the period from March 9, 2010 to June 30, 2010, Denbury recognized $200.6 million and $260.9 million of oil, natural gas, and related product sales, respectively, related to the Encore Merger. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and for the period from March 9, 2010 to June 30, 2010, Denbury recognized $137.8 million and $180.7 million net field operating income (oil, natural

gas and related product sales less lease operating expenses and production taxes and marketing expenses), respectively, related to the Encore Merger. All transaction-related costs (advisory, legal, accounting, severance, due diligence, integration, etc.) have been expensed as incurred. Denbury recognized a total of $67.8 million of transaction costs related to the Encore Merger in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Conroe Field Acquisition

     On December 18, 2009, Denbury acquired a 91.4% interest in the Conroe Field, a significant potential tertiary flood north of Houston, Texas, for total consideration of approximately $422.9 million comprised of approximately $254.2 million in cash and 11,620,000 shares of Denbury common stock. The common stock was valued at $168.7 million based on the closing date price of Denbury’s stock on December 18, 2009 of $14.52 per share. The effective date of purchase was December 1, 2009. The cash amount paid at closing was $268.5 million, which includes $15.6 million for amounts in escrow accounts reserved for plugging and abandonment and other adjustments. Denbury recorded approximately $31.0 million of goodwill related to the acquisition of interests in the Conroe Field.

     Denbury shares issued in a private placement in conjunction with the purchase of interests in the Conroe Field were subsequently registered for resale with the SEC on February 2, 2010, as required under a registration rights agreement. The registration rights agreement provides that the registration statement for the shares remain effective for approximately one year.

Hastings Field Acquisition

     During November 2006, Denbury entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Venoco, Inc. (“Venoco”), which gave Denbury an option to purchase Venoco’s interests in the Hastings Field, a strategically significant potential tertiary flood candidate located near Houston, Texas. Denbury exercised the purchase option prior to September 2008, and closed the acquisition during February 2009. As consideration for the option agreement, during 2006 through 2008, Denbury made cash payments totaling $50 million, which it recorded as a deposit. The remaining purchase price of approximately $196 million was paid in cash, and was determined as of January 1, 2009 (the effective date) with closing on February 2, 2009. The final closing adjustments were completed during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The final closing price, adjusted for interim net cash flows between the effective date and closing date of the acquisition (including minor purchase price adjustments), totaled approximately $246.8 million. Denbury recorded approximately $138.8 million of goodwill related to the acquisition of interests in the Hastings Field.

Barnett Shale Dispositions

     In May 2009, Denbury entered into an agreement to sell 60% of its Barnett Shale natural gas assets to Talon Oil and Gas LLC (“Talon”), a privately held company, for $270 million (before closing adjustments). Denbury closed approximately three-quarters of the sale in June 2009 and closed the remainder of the sale in July 2009. Net proceeds were approximately $259.8 million (after closing adjustments, and net of $8.1 million for natural gas swaps transferred in the sale). The effective date under the agreement was June 1, 2009. Denbury did not record a gain or loss on the sale in accordance with the full cost method of accounting.

     In December 2009, Denbury closed the sale of the remaining 40% of its Barnett Shale natural gas assets to Talon for $210 million (before closing adjustments). Net proceeds were approximately $209.9 million (after closing adjustments). The effective date under the agreement was December 1, 2009. Denbury did not record a gain or loss on the sale in accordance with the full cost method of accounting. Further, the sale was structured as a deferred like-kind exchange in conjunction with Denbury’s acquisition of interests in the Conroe Field in order to defer most of the tax impacts of the sale.

Sale of Interests in Genesis Energy, L.P. (“Genesis”)

     In February 2010, Denbury sold its interest in Genesis Energy, LLC, the general partner of Genesis, for net proceeds of approximately $84 million, after giving effect to the change of control provision of the incentive compensation agreement with Genesis’ management, which was triggered and under which Denbury paid a total of $14.9 million comprised of deferred compensation of $1.9 million and change of control redemption of $13.0 million. In February 2010, Denbury recognized general and administrative expense of $1.1 million associated with the $14.9 million payment. The remainder of the payment had been previously accrued in Denbury’s financial statements as of December 31, 2009. In March 2010, Denbury sold all of its Genesis common units in a secondary public offering for net proceeds of approximately $79 million. As a result, Denbury no longer holds any interest in Genesis. Denbury recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $101.5 million ($63.0 million after tax) on these dispositions.

Sale of Southern Properties

     On May 14, 2010, Denbury sold certain oil and natural gas properties and related assets acquired in the Encore Merger, primarily located in the Permian Basin in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico; the Mid-continent area, which includes the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas; and the East Texas Basin (the “Southern Assets”) to Quantum Resources Management, LLC for consideration of $883.9 million after closing adjustments and including a prior $45 million deposit. The effective date of the sale was May 1, 2010. Denbury did not record a gain or loss on the sale in accordance with the full cost method of accounting. The properties acquired in the Encore Merger in the southern part of the United States which were not sold include the Haynesville Shale, Paradox Basin, Cleveland Sand Play, and Tuscaloosa Marine Shale properties. Although the sale of the Southern Assets triggered an impairment test of goodwill, no impairment charges were made or required during the second quarter of 2010.

Note 4. Asset Retirement Obligations

     In general, Denbury’s future asset retirement obligations relate to future costs associated with plugging and abandonment of its oil, natural gas, and CO₂ wells, removal of equipment and facilities from leased acreage, and land restoration. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement is recorded in the period in which it is incurred, discounted to its present value using Denbury’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate, and a corresponding amount capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset.

New $1.6 Billion Revolving Credit Agreement

     On March 9, 2010, Denbury entered into a new $1.6 billion revolving credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as administrative agent, and 23 other lenders as party thereto (the “Denbury Credit Agreement”). Borrowings under the Denbury Credit Agreement, coupled with the funds from Denbury’s issuance of $1.0 billion of 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020, were used to:

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

	•		fund the cash portion of the consideration issued in the Encore Merger (inclusive of payments made to stock option holders);
	•		repay amounts outstanding under Denbury’s then existing $750 million revolving credit agreement, which had $125 million outstanding as of March 9, 2010;
	•		repay amounts outstanding under Encore’s then existing revolving credit agreement, which had $265 million outstanding as of March 9, 2010;
	•		pay Encore’s severance costs;
	•		pay transaction fees and expenses; and
	•		provide additional liquidity.

     Availability under the Denbury Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base, which is redetermined semi-annually on or prior to May 1 and November 1, beginning in November 2010, and upon requested special redeterminations. The Denbury Credit Agreement provides for a borrowing base of $1.6 billion. The borrowing base represents the amount that can be borrowed based on the reserves and certain other oil and natural gas assets of Denbury and its restricted subsidiaries, as confirmed by the banks, while the commitment amount is the amount the banks have committed to fund pursuant to the terms of the Denbury Credit Agreement. The borrowing base is adjusted at the banks’ discretion and is based in part upon external factors over which Denbury has no control. If the borrowing base were to be less than outstanding borrowings under the Denbury Credit Agreement, Denbury would be required to repay the deficit over a period of four months. In conjunction with the sale of the Southern Assets, lending banks performed a redetermination of the borrowing base under the Denbury Credit Agreement and left the borrowing base unchanged. Denbury incurs a commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the credit facility or if less, the borrowing base. Loans under the Denbury Credit Agreement mature in March 2014.

     The Denbury Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the proved oil and natural gas properties of Denbury’s restricted subsidiaries and by the equity interests of Denbury’s restricted subsidiaries. In addition, Denbury’s obligations under the Denbury Credit Agreement are guaranteed by its restricted subsidiaries. The restricted subsidiaries include most of the subsidiaries of the combined company after the Encore Merger, excluding Denbury’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

     The Denbury Credit Agreement contains several restrictive covenants including, among others:

	•		a prohibition on the payment of dividends to parties other than Denbury and its restricted subsidiaries;
	•		a requirement to maintain a current ratio, as determined under the Denbury Credit Agreement, of not less than 1.0 to 1.0;
	•		a maximum permitted ratio of debt to adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Denbury Credit Agreement) of Denbury and its restricted subsidiaries of not more than 4.5 to 1.0 in 2010 and 4.0 to 1.0 in 2011 and thereafter; and
	•		a prohibition against incurring debt, subject to permitted exceptions.

     Additionally, there is a limitation on the aggregate amount of forecasted oil and natural gas production that can be economically hedged with oil or natural gas derivative contracts.

     Loans under the Denbury Credit Agreement are subject to varying rates of interest based on (1) the total outstanding borrowings in relation to the borrowing base and (2) whether the loan is a Eurodollar loan or a base rate loan. Eurodollar loans bear interest at the Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin of 2.0% to 3.0% based on the ratio of outstanding borrowings to the borrowing base, and base rate loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin of 1.0% to 2.0% based on the ratio of outstanding borrowings to the borrowing base. The “Eurodollar rate” for any interest period (either one, two, three, six, nine, or twelve months, as selected by Denbury) is the rate per year equal to LIBOR, as published by Reuters or another source designated by JPMorgan, for deposits in dollars for a similar interest period. The “base rate” is calculated as the highest of (1) the annual rate of interest announced by and JPMorgan as its “prime rate,” (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, and (3) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Denbury Credit Agreement) for a one-month interest period plus 1.0%.

Encore Energy Partners Operating LLC Credit Agreement

     Encore Energy Partners Operating LLC (“OLLC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ENP, is a party to a five-year credit agreement dated March 7, 2007 (as amended, the “ENP Credit Agreement”). The ENP Credit Agreement matures on March 7, 2012. In November 2009, OLLC amended the ENP Credit Agreement, effective upon the closing of the Encore Merger, to, among other things, permit the consummation of the Encore Merger despite its being a “Change of Control” under the ENP Credit Agreement.

     The ENP Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit loans to be made to OLLC from time to time and letters of credit to be issued from time to time for the account of OLLC or any of its restricted subsidiaries. The aggregate amount of the commitments of the lenders under the ENP Credit Agreement is $475 million. Availability under the ENP Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base, which is redetermined semi-annually and upon requested special redeterminations. On June 14, 2010, the borrowing base under the ENP Credit Agreement was reaffirmed at $375 million. As of June 30, 2010, the borrowing base was $375 million and there were $245 million of outstanding borrowings and $130 million of borrowing capacity under the ENP Credit Agreement.

     Obligations under the ENP Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of OLLC’s proved oil and natural gas reserves and in the equity interests of OLLC and its restricted subsidiaries. In addition, obligations under the ENP Credit Agreement are guaranteed by ENP and OLLC’s restricted subsidiaries. Denbury consolidates the debt of ENP with that of its own; however, obligations under the ENP Credit Agreement are non-recourse to Denbury and its restricted subsidiaries.

Issuance of 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020

     On February 10, 2010, Denbury issued $1.0 billion of 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”), for net proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions of $980 million. The 2020 Notes were sold at par. Upon the closing of the Encore Merger, $400 million of the net proceeds were used to finance a portion of the Encore Merger consideration. Under the indenture governing the 2020 Notes, to the extent that fewer than $600 million principal amount of Encore’s outstanding senior subordinated notes were repurchased in tender offers or change of control repurchases under the Encore indentures, Denbury was required to redeem an equal amount of the 2020 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Denbury redeemed $500.5 million principal amount of Encore’s outstanding senior subordinated notes in a tender offer, repurchased an additional $95.7 million principal amount of Encore’s outstanding senior subordinated notes under change of control provisions, and redeemed $3.7 million principal amount of the 2020 Notes. Please read “Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations for Encore’s Senior Subordinated Notes; Supplements to Indentures Governing Encore’s Senior Subordinated Notes” below.

     The 2020 Notes mature on February 15, 2020, and interest is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning August 15, 2010. Denbury may redeem the 2020 Notes in whole or in part at its option beginning February 15, 2015, at the following redemption prices:

	•		104.125% after February 15, 2015;
	•		102.75% after February 15, 2016;
	•		101.375% after February 15, 2017; and
	•		100% after February 15, 2018.

     Prior to February 15, 2013, Denbury may at its option redeem up to an aggregate of 35% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes at a price of 108.25% with the proceeds of certain equity offerings. In addition, at any time prior to February 15, 2015, Denbury may redeem 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a “make whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The indenture contains certain restrictions on Denbury’s ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends on its common stock, make investments, create liens on its assets, engage in transactions with its affiliates, transfer or sell assets,

consolidate or merge, or sell substantially all of its assets. The 2020 Notes are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. Certain of Denbury’s subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee this debt.

Supplements to Indentures Governing Denbury’s Senior Subordinated Notes

     On March 9, 2010, upon closing of the Encore Merger, Denbury became an obligor, as successor in interest to Encore, with respect to Encore senior subordinated notes, which are governed by four indentures covering an aggregate original principal amount of $825 million. In conjunction with the closing of the Encore Merger, Denbury and its subsidiaries entered into supplemental indentures to add subsidiary guarantors, as required under the Encore indentures as well as the indentures governing Denbury’s senior subordinated notes. The Encore legacy subsidiaries, with permitted exceptions, became guarantors under the Denbury indentures that were in effect prior to the Encore Merger and the Denbury legacy subsidiaries, with permitted exceptions, became guarantors under the Encore indentures with respect to which Denbury succeeded Encore.

Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations for Encore’s Senior Subordinated Notes; Supplements to Indentures Governing Encore’s Senior Subordinated Notes

     On February 8, 2010, Denbury commenced a cash tender offer to repurchase $600 million principal amount of Encore’s $825 million senior subordinated notes which were governed by three of Encore’s four indentures and solicited consents to amend each of those three indentures to eliminate most of the indenture covenants. Those indentures are the indentures to which Encore was a party prior to the Encore Merger governing their 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “6.25% Notes”), their 6.0% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (the “6.0% Notes”), and their 7.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “7.25% Notes”).

     On March 10, 2010, upon expiration of the tender offers and consent solicitations, Denbury accepted for purchase all notes tendered in the tender offer. The total amount of notes that Denbury purchased was approximately $500.5 million in principal amount of the $600 million in original principal amount for which tenders were made, leaving outstanding approximately $99.5 million of the $600 million of notes for which Denbury made tender offers.

     The tender of the notes also constituted the delivery of consents of holders of the notes to eliminate or modify certain provisions contained in each of the three indentures governing the Encore senior subordinated notes for which tender offers were made. Denbury received sufficient consents in the solicitations to amend these three Encore indentures effective upon the Encore Merger. The amendments of the three indentures governing the $600 million of notes subject to the tender offers eliminated most of the restrictive covenants, including covenants requiring the filing of SEC reports; restricting certain payments; limiting indebtedness; restricting distributions from certain restricted subsidiaries, affiliate transactions, and liens; requiring future subsidiaries to guarantee the applicable notes; requiring the delivery of certificates concerning compliance with the applicable indenture; certain provisions of covenants relating to mergers and consolidations; and certain events of default in the indentures. The amendments do not apply to the 9.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the “9.5% Notes”).

     On March 12, 2010, Denbury announced cash change of control offers to purchase, for 101% of the face amount, the remaining $324.5 million of senior subordinated notes outstanding under the four Encore indentures, as required by each of the Encore indentures. In April 2010, Denbury purchased approximately $95.7 million of these senior subordinated notes, leaving approximately $228.7 million of former Encore notes outstanding.

Encore Indentures

     In addition to the three indentures that govern the Encore senior subordinated notes for which Denbury made tender offers, as a result of the Encore Merger, Denbury also became successor in interest to Encore under the Encore indenture with respect to the 9.5% Notes in the original principal amount of $225 million (the “9.5% Indenture”). Interest on the 9.5% Notes is due semi-annually on May 1 and November 1. The 9.5% Notes mature on May 1, 2016. The material terms of the 9.5% Indenture include covenants requiring the filing of SEC reports; restricting certain payments; limiting indebtedness; restricting distributions from certain restricted subsidiaries,

affiliate transactions, and liens; requiring certain subsidiaries to deliver guarantees of the notes; requiring the delivery of certificates concerning compliance with the indenture; and covenants relating to mergers and consolidations.

     All of the Encore indentures, including the 9.5% Indenture, also have covenants limiting the sale of assets and providing a put right by holders upon change of control. The Encore indentures also contain certain affirmative, negative, and financial covenants, which include a requirement that Denbury maintain a current ratio (as defined in the Encore indentures) of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 and a requirement that Denbury maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Encore indentures) to consolidated interest expense of not less than 2.5 to 1.0.

Note 6. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative Policy

     Denbury applies the provisions of the “Derivatives” topic of the FASC, which requires each derivative instrument to be recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. If a derivative has not been designated as a hedge or does not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting, it must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. However, if a derivative qualifies for hedge accounting, depending on the nature of the hedge, the effective portion of changes in fair value can be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss within equity until such time as the hedged item is recognized in earnings. In order to qualify for cash flow hedge accounting, the cash flows from the hedging instrument must be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. In addition, all hedging relationships must be designated, documented, and reassessed periodically.

     Denbury has elected to designate ENP’s outstanding interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the mark-to-market gain or loss on these derivative instruments is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the mark-to-market gain or loss is recognized in earnings and included in “Derivatives expense (income)” in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

     Denbury does not apply hedge accounting treatment to its oil and natural gas derivative contracts and therefore, the changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized in income in the period of change. These fair value changes, along with the cash settlements of expired contracts, are included in “Derivatives expense (income)” in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Oil and Natural Gas Derivative Contracts

     From time to time, Denbury enters into various oil and natural gas derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of its exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production. Denbury does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. These contracts consist of price floors, collars, and fixed price swaps. Historically, Denbury has hedged up to 80% of its anticipated production for the following year to provide it with a reasonably certain amount of cash flow to cover most of its budgeted exploration and development expenditures without incurring significant debt. Also, in light of the Encore Merger, and Denbury’s desire to protect its cash flows given the increased debt levels, in March 2010, Denbury entered into costless collar crude oil contracts covering 17,000 Bbls/d during the first half of 2011 and in June 2010, it entered into costless collar crude oil contracts covering an additional 8,000 Bbls/d during the third quarter of 2011.

     Denbury manages and controls market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Denbury attempts to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures, and diversification. All of Denbury’s and ENP’s commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under their respective credit agreements. Denbury has included an estimate of nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement of its commodity derivative contracts as required by FASC guidance on fair value. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the net asset (liability) of Denbury’s open commodity derivative contracts of $109.7 million and ($128.7) million, respectively, included a reduction of $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for estimated nonperformance risk.
