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 and Gulf Coast regions.   Denbury’s goal is to increase the value of acquired 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.
        Denbury has consolidated Encore’s results of operations beginning March 9, 2010, the acquisition date.   See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information.
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 September 30, 2010, its consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Certain prior period items have been reclassified to make the classification consistent with the classification in the most recent quarter.
Revised accounting policy for CO2 properties
        During the third quarter 2010, the Company revised its accounting policies for CO2 properties.   Previously, the Company accounted for its CO2 properties in a manner similar to its method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties, as the process and activities used by the Company to identify, develop and produce CO2 reserves are virtually identical to those used to identify, develop and produce its oil and natural gas reserves.   However, because CO2 is not a hydrocarbon, it is excluded from the scope of FASC Topic 932, Extractive Industries – Oil and Gas and, therefore, the Company is precluded from accounting for its CO2 operations in accordance with FASC Topic 932.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
        Accordingly, commencing July 1, 2010, the Company will expense costs incurred to search for new CO2 resources.   Once proved or probable CO2 reserves are established, costs incurred to develop that resource will be capitalized.   Capitalized costs associated with drilling activities will be depleted on a units-of-production basis over proved developed CO2 reserves.   Other capitalized CO2 costs will be depleted on a units-of-production basis over proved and probable CO2 reserves.   Leasehold acquisition costs will be capitalized as a tangible asset, subject to depletion upon identification of proved or probable CO2 reserves, or expensed if no reserves are identified or the lease is abandoned.
        Capitalized CO2 properties and CO2 pipelines will be included as a reduction of future net revenues in our oil and natural gas ceiling test to the extent these assets will be used to produce proved oil reserves.   The remaining net capitalized CO2 asset cost will be evaluated for impairment by comparing our expected future revenues from these assets to their net carrying value.
        The impact of the revised accounting policy on our historical financial statements is not material to any individual year, nor is the cumulative impact material to our projected financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010.   The Company has recognized the cumulative impact of the revised accounting policy as a non-cash net reduction to depletion, depreciation, and amortization during the three months ended September 30, 2010 resulting in a pretax credit of $9.6 million ($6.0 million after tax), which reflects a reduction to CO2 properties, equipment and pipelines of $26.1 million offset by a decrease in accumulated depletion, depreciation and amortization of $35.7 million.   The cumulative adjustment did not have an impact on our cash flows. We expensed $1.2 million of CO2 discovery costs during the third quarter of 2010.
Noncontrolling Interest
        As of September 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 have been consolidated with those of Denbury beginning March 9, 2010, the acquisition date.
        As presented in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2010, the $511 million of “Noncontrolling interest” represents third-party ownership interests other than Denbury’s in ENP.   As presented in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010, “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest” of $2.1 million represents ENP’s results of operations attributable to third-party owners other than Denbury, and “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest” for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $20.4 million represents ENP’s results of operations attributable to third-party owners from March 9, 2010 through September 30, 2010.

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 nine months ended September 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 3.3 million shares and 2.5 million shares at September 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 September 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 transporting CO2 to Denbury’s tertiary floods from its CO2 source fields located near Jackson, Mississippi.   Denbury is continuing expansion of its CO2 pipeline infrastructure with several pipelines currently under construction. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Denbury had $106.8 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.   The costs of CO2 pipelines under construction were not being depreciated at September 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 in service the first phase of the Green Pipeline, a 320-mile CO2 pipeline that runs from southern Louisiana to near Houston, Texas, 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 $106.8 million of costs related to pipeline construction in progress at September 30, 2010, primarily consist of costs incurred for the remaining portion of the Green Pipeline to the Hastings Field.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
         ASU 2010-20.   In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-20 Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit losses—ASC 310 (“ASU 2010-20”). ASU 2010-20 enhances disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses, by requiring an entity to provide disaggregated and class information, credit quality indicators, past due information, and information about modifications of its financing receivables, and other information. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on and after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010.   Since ASU 2010-20 will only amend disclosure requirements and not current accounting practice, the ASU will not impact Denbury’s results of operations or financial position.
         Subsequent Events.   In February 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.   See 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;

Table of Contents

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
   
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.
        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
        The following table is a summary of the consideration issued in 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:

of professional, legal and accounting fees, which have been expensed as incurred, and $31.4 million of employee-related severance and termination costs, which are accrued over the employees’ service period.
2009 Conroe Field Acquisition
        In December 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 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.
2009 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.
2009 Sale of Barnett Shale Properties
        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.

2010 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.

        In May 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 reduced its full cost pool by the amount of the net proceeds and did not record a gain or loss on the sale in accordance with the full cost method of accounting.
2010 Sale of Cleveland Sand Play Properties
        In August 2010, Denbury sold certain oil and natural gas properties and related assets acquired in the Encore Merger, primarily located in the Cleveland Sand Play of western Oklahoma, for consideration of $32.1 million after closing adjustments.   The effective date of the sale was August 1, 2010.   Denbury reduced its full cost pool by the amount of the net proceeds and did not record a gain or loss on the sale in accordance with the full cost method of accounting.
Pending Sale of Haynesville and East Texas Natural Gas Properties
        In October 2010, Denbury entered into an agreement to sell its Haynesville and East Texas oil and natural gas properties to a private company for consideration of $217.5 million before closing adjustments.   The effective date of the sale will be September 1, 2010, and it is expected to close by early December of 2010.
Recent Acquisition of Reserves in Rocky Mountain Region at Riley Ridge
        In October 2010, Denbury acquired a 42.5% non-operated working interest in the Riley Ridge Federal Unit located in the LaBarge Field of southwestern Wyoming, a significant natural source of CO2 as well as natural gas and helium, for consideration of $124.3 million after closing adjustments.   The acquisition also includes approximately 33% of the CO2 rights in an additional 28,000 acres adjoining the Riley Ridge Unit.

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:
   
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 and upon requested special redeterminations. The Denbury Credit Agreement provides for a borrowing base of $1.6 billion, which was reaffirmed on November 1, 2010. 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. As of September 30, 2010, the borrowing base was $375 million and there were $240 million of outstanding borrowings 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. See 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’s 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 commenced a second tender offer to repurchase, for 101% of the face amount, the $99.5 million on notes that remained outstanding after completion of the February 8, 2010 tender. The March 12, 2010 tender also included an initial offer to purchase, for 101% of the face amount, the $225 million of outstanding 9.5% Notes. These change-of-control tenders were 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.

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
     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, as well as other certain affirmative and negative covenants.
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. In October 2010, Denbury entered into costless collar crude oil contracts covering 6,000 Bbls/d during the second half of 2011 and 12,000 Bbls/d during the first quarter of 2012.
     As a result of the anticipated sale of the Haynesville and East Texas assets, upon closing Denbury expects to terminate a portion of its remaining 2010 and 2011 natural gas hedges during the fourth quarter of 2010. See Note 13, Subsequent Events, for additional information.
     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 September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the net asset (liability) of Denbury’s open commodity derivative contracts of $67.2 million and ($128.7) million, respectively, included a reduction of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for estimated nonperformance risk.

       As of September 30, 2010, Denbury had $32.4 million of deferred premiums payable, which relate to various oil and natural gas floor contracts and are payable on a monthly basis from October 2010 to January 2013. These premiums are excluded from the above tables.
Interest Rate Swaps
       ENP uses derivative instruments in the form of interest rate swaps which hedge risk related to interest rate fluctuation, whereby it converts the interest due on certain floating-rate debt under its revolving credit agreement to a weighted average fixed rate.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
       Fair value is 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 (exit price). Denbury utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. Denbury primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, Denbury utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Denbury is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The FASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
   
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. During 2009 and the first nine months of 2010, Denbury had no Level 1 recurring measurements.
 
   
Level 2 — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
 
   
Level 3 — Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

       Denbury adjusts the valuations from the valuation model for nonperformance risk, using management’s estimate of the counterparty’s credit quality for asset positions and Denbury’s credit quality for liability positions. Denbury uses multiple sources of third-party credit data in determining counterparty nonperformance risk, including credit default swaps.

       The book values of cash and cash equivalents, accrued production receivable, trade and other receivables, net, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the senior subordinated notes were determined using open market quotes. The difference between book value and fair value of the senior subordinated notes represents the premium or discount on that date. The carrying values of Denbury’s and ENP’s revolving credit agreements approximate fair value since they are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate the rates available to Denbury and ENP for those periods; however, the estimated fair value has been adjusted for estimated nonperformance risk of approximately $13.6 million and $2.5 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The nonperformance risk was determined utilizing industry credit default swaps. Commodity derivative contracts and interest rate swaps are stated at fair value in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred premiums on commodity derivative contracts were recorded at their fair value at the time they were acquired from Encore, and Denbury accretes that value to the eventual settlement price by recording interest expense each period.
Note 8. Income Taxes
       Denbury’s effective tax rate has historically been slightly lower than its estimated statutory rate due to the impact of certain items such as the domestic production activities deduction, offset in part by certain non-cash stock-based compensation that cannot be deducted for tax purposes in the same manner as book expense. As a result of the Encore Merger, Denbury’s statutory rate increased, which required Denbury to remeasure its deferred tax liabilities resulting in an additional income tax provision of approximately $10 million. As a result of the sale of the Southern Assets, Denbury’s statutory rate decreased, which required Denbury to remeasure its deferred tax liabilities resulting in an income tax benefit of approximately $3 million. The combination of these items increased Denbury’s effective tax rate to 38.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
       In the second quarter of 2008, we obtained approval from the National Office of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to change our method of tax accounting for certain assets used in our tertiary oilfield recovery operations which led us to apply for refunds of certain amounts related thereto on our 2004 and 2006 federal income tax returns. In the course of an IRS audit of those refund claims, the IRS examination team has questioned the change in accounting method and the ruling received from the National Office of the IRS in 2008. Together with the IRS examination team, we have submitted a request to the National Office of the IRS for a Technical Advice Memorandum (TAM) regarding these issues, which is under consideration by the National Office. Although we have not recorded an uncertain tax position related to these deductions as we expect to receive those tax refunds, given the existence of the TAM process related to those refunds, the payment of those tax refunds of approximately $10.6 million for tax years through 2006 is not free from doubt.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
       In conjunction with the Encore Merger, Denbury acquired certain commitments, including: remaining outstanding principal and interest on the 6.5% Notes, the 6.0% Notes, the 9.5% Notes, and the 7.25% Notes previously issued by Encore, derivative contracts, operating leases, and asset retirement obligations. The Encore Merger is discussed in Note 3, asset retirement obligations are discussed in Note 4, long-term debt is discussed in Note 5, and derivative contracts are discussed in Notes 6 and 7. Operating leases assumed from Encore require payments of approximately $1.0 million in the remainder of 2010, $5.4 million in 2011 through 2012, and $1.8 million in 2013. These amounts include a decrease of approximately $2.4 million during the third quarter of 2010, as we exercised an early termination option for a portion of the office space leases acquired from Encore. In addition, Denbury entered into a new lease for its corporate headquarters with a 12-year term that has total minimum monthly payments which aggregate approximately $64.3 million.
       We are subject to audits in the various states in which we operate for sales and use taxes and severance taxes, and from time to time receive assessments for potential taxes that we may owe. We have received a $14.9 million assessment from the Mississippi taxing authority for use tax, penalties and interest covering the 2004-2007 period. We believe this assessment is significantly in excess of any amounts owed and plan to appeal this assessment. We do not believe the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impact on the Company.
       We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and other regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses. While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations or cash flows, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our net income in the period in which the ruling occurs. We provide accruals for litigation and claims if we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Note 12. Encore Energy Partners LP
Administrative Services Agreement
       ENP does not have any employees. The employees supporting ENP’s operations are employees of Denbury. Encore Operating, L.P. (“Encore Operating”), a subsidiary of Denbury, performs administrative services for ENP, such as accounting, corporate development, finance, land, legal, and engineering, pursuant to an administrative services agreement. In addition, Encore Operating provides all personnel, facilities, goods, and equipment necessary to perform these services which are not otherwise provided for by ENP. Encore Operating is not liable to ENP for its performance of, or failure to perform, services under the administrative services agreement unless its acts or omissions constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
       From March 9, 2010 to March 31, 2010, the administrative fee was $2.02 per BOE of ENP’s production. Effective April 1, 2010, the administrative fee increased to $2.06 per BOE of ENP’s production as a result of the COPAS Wage Index Adjustment which occurs every April 1st. ENP also reimburses Encore Operating for actual third-party expenses incurred on ENP’s behalf. Encore Operating has substantial discretion in determining which third-party expenses to incur on ENP’s behalf. In addition, Encore Operating is entitled to retain any COPAS overhead charges associated with drilling and operating wells that would otherwise be paid by non-operating interest owners to the operator.
       The administrative fee will increase in the following circumstances:
   
beginning on the first day of April in each year by an amount equal to the product of the then-current administrative fee multiplied by the COPAS Wage Index Adjustment for that year;
   
if ENP acquires additional assets, Encore Operating may propose an increase in its administrative fee that covers the provision of services for such additional assets; however, such proposal must be approved by the board of directors of GP LLC upon the recommendation of its conflicts committee; and
   
otherwise as agreed upon by Encore Operating and GP LLC, with the approval of the conflicts committee of the board of directors of GP LLC.
       ENP reimburses Denbury for any state, income, franchise, or similar tax incurred by Denbury resulting from the inclusion of ENP in consolidated tax returns with Denbury as required by applicable law. The amount of any such reimbursement is limited to the tax that ENP would have incurred had they not been included in a combined group with Denbury.
Strategic Alternatives for ENP
       On September 12, 2010, Denbury and ENP announced that the previously announced consideration of an asset transaction between Denbury and ENP regarding Elk Basin Field had been terminated. This process had been initiated in light of the substantial future capital requirements to flood that field as a possible CO2 tertiary project. No agreement could be reached on the value of the potential tertiary reserves. Denbury remains focused on its previously announced intent to sell its interest in ENP’s general partner and all or part of the ENP common units that Denbury owns. There is no assurance of completion of any transaction.
Note 13. Subsequent Events
Acquisition of Reserves in Rocky Mountain region at Riley Ridge
       On October 15, 2010, Denbury acquired a 42.5% non-operated working interest in the 9,700 acre Riley Ridge Federal Unit located in the LaBarge Field of southwestern Wyoming, a significant natural source of CO2 as well as natural gas and helium, for consideration of $124.3 million after closing adjustments. The acquisition also includes approximately 33% of the CO2 rights in an additional 28,000 acres adjoining the Riley Ridge Unit.
Sale of Haynesville and East Texas Natural Gas Properties
       On October 8, 2010, Denbury entered into an agreement to sell its Haynesville and East Texas natural gas properties to a private company for consideration of $217.5 million before closing adjustments. The effective date of the sale will be September 1, 2010, and is expected to close by early December of 2010.
ENP Distribution
       On October 28, 2010, the board of directors of GP LLC declared an ENP cash distribution for the third quarter of 2010 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on November 8, 2010 of $0.50 per unit or approximately $22.9 million of which $10.7 million is expected to be paid to GP LLC and its affiliates. The distribution is expected to be paid to unitholders on or about November 12, 2010.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
       The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, along with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in such Form 10-K. Any terms used but not defined in the following discussion have the same meaning given to them in the Form 10-K. Our discussion and analysis includes forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties and should be read in conjunction with Risk Factors under Item 1A of this report, along with Forward-Looking Information at the end of this section for information about the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than our forward-looking statements.
Overview
       We are a growing independent oil and natural gas company. We are the largest oil and natural gas operator in both Mississippi and Montana, own the largest reserves of CO2 used for tertiary oil recovery east of the Mississippi River, and hold significant operating acreage in the Rockies and Gulf Coast regions. Our goal is to increase the value of our acquired properties through a combination of exploitation, drilling, and proven engineering extraction practices, with our most significant emphasis relating to tertiary recovery operations.
       Third quarter operating highlights. The acquisition of Encore in March 2010 (“Encore Merger”) has had a significant impact on nearly every aspect of our business, including oil and natural gas production, revenues and operating expenses, which is more fully discussed throughout our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations below. We recognized net income of $29.1 million, or $0.07 per basic common share, during the third quarter of 2010 as compared to net income of $26.9 million, or $0.11 per basic common share, during the third quarter of 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to higher production revenues due to increased volumes attributable to the Encore properties as well as increased tertiary production offset by higher non-cash fair value derivative expenses, higher interest expense, and Encore merger-related expenses (principally severance).
       During the third quarter of 2010, our oil and natural gas production averaged 77,730 BOE/d compared to 42,659 BOE/d produced during the third quarter of 2009. This 35,071 BOE/d of additional production is attributable to (1) properties acquired in the Encore Merger, which contributed average production of 33,605 BOE/d during the quarter, (2) tertiary production increasing 5,184 Bbls/d between the two quarters, and (3) the December 2009 acquisition of the Conroe field which contributed average production of 2,745 BOE/d. Offsetting these production increases was a decrease of 4,948 BOE/d due to the December 2009 sale of our remaining 40% of our Barnett Shale properties. See Results of Operations — Operating Results — Production for more information.
       Tertiary oil production averaged 29,531 Bbls/d during the third quarter of 2010, representing a 21% increase over our average tertiary oil production of 24,347 Bbls/d during the third quarter of 2009. We had strong production increases during the third quarter of 2010 from several of our existing tertiary oil fields, including the Tinsley Field, where production increased 2,466 Bbls/d between the comparable periods. See Results of Operations — CO2 Operations for more information.
       Oil prices during the third quarter of 2010 were higher than during the third quarter of 2009. Our average oil and natural gas price received per BOE, excluding the impact of commodity derivative contracts, was $64.44 per BOE during the third quarter of 2010, as compared to $56.39 per BOE during the third quarter of 2009, a 14% increase between the two periods. Including the impact of our commodity derivative contracts, our average oil and natural gas price per BOE increased to $65.84 per BOE during the third quarter of 2010, as compared to $61.11 per BOE during the third quarter of 2009.
       Net cash settlements received on our commodity derivative contracts during the third quarter of 2010 were $10.0 million, compared to $18.5 million of cash settlements received during the third quarter of 2009. During the third quarter of 2010, we had a non-cash fair value loss on our commodity derivative contracts of $42.5 million, compared to a non-cash fair value loss of $22.3 million during the third quarter of 2009. Together these cash settlements and non-cash fair-value losses lowered our pretax income by $28.1 million more during the third quarter of 2010 than in the third quarter of 2009.

       Our lease operating expenses increased 58% ($48.5 million) during the third quarter of 2010 on an absolute basis, but decreased 13% on a per BOE basis when compared to levels in the third quarter of 2009. The increase on an absolute basis is primarily due to the March 2010 Encore Merger and further expansion of our tertiary operations, partially offset by the effect of our December 2009 sale of our remaining 40% of our Barnett Shale properties. The decrease on a per BOE basis is primarily due to the Encore Merger, as the assets acquired have a lower production cost per BOE than Denbury’s legacy assets.
       General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses totaled $37.1 million during the third quarter of 2010, compared to $24.0 million during the prior year quarter, principally due to incremental administrative expense from the ownership of Encore offset by the $3.6 million incentive compensation expense for management of Genesis incurred in the prior year quarter. During the quarter, we incurred $11.5 million of transaction costs associated with the Encore Merger, primarily associated with employee severance. These Encore Merger related fees are included in our income statement under the caption “Transaction costs and other related to the Encore Merger.” Interest expense also increased during the third quarter of 2010, due primarily to our $1.0 billion issuance of 2020 Notes in February 2010, Encore debt assumed in the Encore Merger, and $10.0 million less interest capitalization.
       Merger with Encore Acquisition Company. On March 9, 2010, we 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 ENP. Under the Encore Merger Agreement, Encore was merged with and into Denbury, with Denbury surviving the Encore Merger. The Encore Merger was consummated on March 9, 2010.
       In the Encore Merger, we issued approximately 135.2 million shares of our common stock and paid approximately $833.9 million in cash to Encore stockholders. The Denbury shares issued to Encore stockholders represented approximately 34% of our common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Encore Merger. The total fair value of the Denbury common stock issued to Encore stockholders pursuant to the Encore Merger was approximately $2.1 billion based upon Denbury’s closing price of $15.43 per share on March 9, 2010. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information.
       The Encore Merger was financed through a combination of $1.0 billion of 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020, (the “2020 Notes”), which we issued on February 10, 2010, the new $1.6 billion revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) entered into on March 9, 2010, and the assumption of Encore’s remaining outstanding senior subordinated notes.
       Pursuant to our intent of divesting non-strategic legacy Encore properties, certain oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin, Mid-continent area, and East Texas Basin (collectively, the “Southern Assets”) and the Cleveland Sand Play were sold during the second and third quarters of 2010. In addition, we expect to close on the sale of the Haynesville and East Texas natural gas properties during the fourth quarter of 2010. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these transactions.
       Acquisition of reserves in Rocky Mountain region at Riley Ridge. In October 2010, we acquired a 42.5% non-operated working interest in the Riley Ridge Federal Unit (“Riley Ridge”) located in southwestern Wyoming, together with approximately 33% of the CO2 rights in an additional 28,000 acres adjoining Riley Ridge, for consideration of $124.3 million after closing adjustments. This acquisition was funded with borrowings on our bank credit agreement.
       We estimate Riley Ridge contains approximately 185 Bcf of natural gas, 6.6 Bcf of helium and approximately 1.0 Tcf of CO2, net to our interest to be acquired. The additional 28,000 acres is estimated to contain an additional 1.0 Tcf of probable CO2 reserves, net to our interest. The first production of natural gas and helium from Riley Ridge is expected to occur in late 2011 after completing construction of the processing facilities to separate the natural gas and helium. The net development costs to our interest are expected to be approximately $24 million during 2010 and $32 million in 2011, and are primarily associated with constructing the processing facilities that will separate the natural gas and helium.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
       The full well stream at Riley Ridge is expected to contain approximately 65% CO2, 19% natural gas, 10% H2S and 0.6% helium and other gases. Currently, the operator plans to re-inject the CO2 and H2S, however, we have the right to separate and take the CO2 and re-inject the H2S. At this time, we are evaluating other potential CO2 sources in the region, and therefore, we do not have a definitive development timetable for these CO2 reserves.
       Completion of Green Pipeline to Oyster Bayou. On June 29, 2010, Denbury placed the first phase (approximately 260 miles) of the Green Pipeline, a 320-mile CO2 pipeline that runs from southern Louisiana to near Houston, Texas, in service. This phase runs to Denbury’s Oyster Bayou Field in Southeast Texas while the remaining portion, scheduled for completion in December 2010, will service Denbury’s Hastings Field west of Galveston Bay. The Green pipeline is designed to transport both natural and anthropogenic CO2 and will ultimately service other tertiary operations along the Gulf Coast.
       Strategic alternatives for ENP. In September 2010, Denbury and ENP announced that the previously announced consideration of an asset transaction between Denbury and ENP regarding Elk Basin Field had been terminated. This process had been initiated in light of the substantial future capital requirements to flood that field as a possible CO2 tertiary project. No agreement could be reached on the value of the potential tertiary reserves. Denbury remains focused on its previously announced intent to sell its interest in ENP’s general partner and all or part of the ENP common units that Denbury owns. There is no assurance of completion of any transaction.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
       We currently estimate our pro forma 2010 capital spending (including Encore’s $46 million of capital expenditures between January 1, 2010 and March 9, 2010) will be approximately $1.06 billion, excluding capitalized interest, acquisitions, and divestitures, and net of equipment leases, and also excluding the expenditures related to the Encore Merger. Our current 2010 capital budget includes the following:
   
$413 million allocated for tertiary oil field expenditures;
 
   
$193 million to be spent on our CO2 pipelines;
 
   
$200 million to drill or participate in drilling or refracing of 55 to 75 wells in the Bakken area of North Dakota;
 
   
$115 million on drilling, completion and other development activities in our other areas;
 
   
$65 million to drill and complete 6 to 8 operated wells and participate in 20 to 25 non-operated wells in the Haynesville and other East Texas fields; and
 
   
$74 million to be spent in the Jackson Dome area.
       This estimate also assumes that we fund approximately $50 million of budgeted equipment purchases with operating leases, which is dependent upon securing acceptable financing. If we do not enter into a total of $50 million of operating leases during 2010, our net capital expenditures would increase in an equal amount, and we would anticipate funding those additional capital expenditures under our Credit Agreement.
       Based on oil and natural gas commodity futures prices in early November 2010 and our current estimated production forecasts, excluding acquisition costs, our pro forma 2010 capital budget (including Encore’s $46 million of capital expenditures from January 1, 2010 through March 9, 2010) is $200 million to $300 million greater than our anticipated cash flow from operations assuming a full year of operations of the combined companies. This shortfall has been funded to-date with borrowings under our Credit Agreement, and we have significant borrowing capacity to fund any remaining shortfall in the fourth quarter. The outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement have been substantially reduced already during the course of the year by repayments made with the cash generated from the sales of our interests in Genesis and the Southern Assets (see Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
       We preliminarily anticipate that our capital expenditure budget for 2011 will be in the same range as our 2010 capital budget. Although this amount is currently expected to be $100 to $200 million higher than our 2011 forecasted cash flows from operations, we anticipate that our planned sale of our Haynesville and East Texas assets and any proceeds received from a sale of our interest in ENP (see Overview – Strategic alternatives for ENP above) would offset our capital spending in excess of cash flows in 2010 and 2011.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
       As mentioned above, we funded the Riley Ridge acquisition with funds drawn under our Credit Agreement, and we plan to reduce our outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement (approximately $225.0 million as of November 8, 2010) with the proceeds from the pending sale of the Haynesville and East Texas natural gas assets (approximately $217.5 million before closing adjustments). See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on these transactions.
       We continually monitor our capital spending and anticipated cash flows and believe that we can adjust our capital spending up or down depending on cash flows; however, any such reduction in capital spending could reduce our anticipated production levels in future years. For 2010, we have contracted for certain capital expenditures, including construction of the second phase of the Green Pipeline already in progress and several drilling rigs, and therefore we cannot eliminate all of our capital commitments without penalties (refer to Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements — Commitments and Obligations for further information regarding these commitments).
       Capital Expenditure Summary. The following table of capital expenditures includes accrued capital for the nine month periods of 2009 and 2010. Our cash expenditures were $13.9 million lower in the 2010 period and $54.8 million higher in the 2009 period than the amounts listed below due to the change in our capital accruals in those periods:

       Our capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2010, excluding the Encore Merger, were funded with $592.8 million of cash flow from operations, along with net proceeds of approximately $163 million from the sale of our interests in Genesis, approximately $884 million from the Southern Assets sale, and $32 million from the Cleveland Sand Play assets sale. See Overview — Merger with Encore Acquisition Company for a discussion of the financing of the Encore Merger. Our capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2009 were funded with $406.4 million of cash flow from operations, $259.8 million of net proceeds from the sale of a portion of our Barnett Shale natural gas assets, and $381.4 million of proceeds from the February 2009 issuance of the 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes.
       As discussed above in Overview — Merger with Encore Acquisition Company, the primary sources of cash for the Encore Merger were (1) our new $1.6 billion Credit Agreement, which replaced our previously existing $750 million commitment from banks under our prior revolving credit agreement, and (2) $1.0 billion of new 2020 Notes. We structured the financing of the Encore Merger to provide $600 million to $700 million of availability under the new Credit Agreement upon closing the transaction in order to provide a level of liquidity similar to that available to us prior to the Encore Merger.
       The amounts shown above for the Encore Merger include approximately $2.1 billion of our common stock issued to Encore stockholders in the Encore Merger, based upon 135.2 million shares valued at the closing price of $15.43 per share on March 9, 2010, and approximately $1.1 billion of the total Encore Merger consideration which was assigned to goodwill. See Note 3 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Encore Merger.
       Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. Our obligations that are not currently recorded on our balance sheet consist of our operating leases and various obligations for development and exploratory expenditures arising from purchase agreements, our capital expenditure program, or other transactions common to our industry. In addition, in order to recover our proved undeveloped reserves, we must also fund the associated future development costs as forecasted in our proved reserve reports. Our derivative contracts, which are recorded at fair value in our balance sheets, are discussed in Notes 6 and 7 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
       In conjunction with the Encore Merger, we acquired certain of Encore’s commitments including: senior subordinated notes, derivative contracts, operating leases, and asset retirement obligations. The Encore Merger is discussed in Note 3 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, asset retirement obligations are discussed in Note 4 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, long-term debt is discussed in Note 5 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and derivative contracts are discussed in Notes 6 and 7 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating leases assumed in the Encore Merger require payments of approximately $1.0 million in the remainder of 2010, $5.4 million in 2011 through 2012, and $1.8 million in 2013. In addition, we have entered into a new lease for our corporate headquarters with a 12-year term that has total minimum monthly payments which aggregate approximately $64.3 million. Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the section entitled Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – Commitments and Obligations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for further information regarding our commitments and obligations.
Results of Operations
CO2 Operations
       Our focus on CO2 operations is becoming an ever-increasing part of our business and operations. We believe that there are significant additional oil reserves and production that can be obtained through the use of CO2, and we have outlined certain of this potential in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and other public disclosures. In addition to its long-term effect, our focus on these types of operations impacts certain trends in our current and near-term operating results. Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the section entitled CO2 Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for further information regarding these matters.
       During 2010, we drilled three additional wells in the Jackson Dome area in order to increase CO2 deliverability and proved reserves. Two wells were drilled in the Gluckstadt Field and the third well was drilled on the DRI Dock prospect. Based on the results of testing and production associated with these three wells and the recently completed 3D seismic evaluation of the DRI Dock prospect, our total proven CO2 reserve additions at the Jackson Dome area during 2010 now total 1.0 Tcf. Additionally, we have acquired a significant natural source of CO2 in the Rocky Mountain region at Riley Ridge in an acquisition that closed in October 2010, which has approximately 1.0 Tcf of proved and 1.0 Tcf of probable CO2 reserves, net to our interest. See Acquisition of reserves in Rocky Mountain region at Riley Ridge above.
       During the third quarter of 2010, our CO2 production at Jackson Dome averaged 864 MMcf/d as compared to an average of 629 MMcf/d produced during the third quarter of 2009 and 768 MMcf/d produced during the second quarter of 2010. We used 87% of this production, or 748 MMcf/d, in our tertiary operations during the third quarter of 2010, and sold the balance to our industrial customers, or to Genesis pursuant to our volumetric production payments. During June 2010, we placed in service the first phase (approximately 260 miles) of the Green Pipeline, a 320-mile CO2 pipeline that runs from southern Louisiana to near Houston, Texas. This first phase runs to our Oyster Bayou field in Southeast Texas. We filled this pipeline with CO2 from our source at Jackson Dome during June and commenced first injection of CO2 at the Oyster Bayou field on June 29, 2010. Consequently, our CO2 production at Jackson Dome was higher this quarter compared to levels in the second quarter of 2010. Refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for further discussion on our CO2 delivery obligations.
       We spent approximately $0.21 per Mcf in operating expenses to produce our CO2 during the first nine months of 2010, comprised of $0.20 per Mcf during the first quarter of 2010, $0.22 per Mcf during the second quarter of 2010, and $0.21 during the third quarter of 2010. This rate is up significantly from our $0.16 per Mcf cost during the first nine months of 2009, due primarily to increased CO2 royalty expense as a result of higher oil prices.

       Oil production from our tertiary operations increased to an average of 29,531 Bbls/d during the third quarter of 2010, a 21% increase over our third quarter of 2009 tertiary production level of 24,347 Bbls/d, primarily due to production growth in response to continued expansion of the tertiary floods in our Tinsley, Heidelberg, Delhi, Soso, Cranfield, and Lockhart Crossing Fields, offset by gradual production declines in our Mallalieu, Eucutta and other fields. Tinsley Field is our top-performing tertiary oil field, and production there is expected to increase further as we continue to expand the flood. We initiated CO2 injections at Delhi Field (Phase 5) during November 2009 and saw initial tertiary production response at Delhi Field late in the first quarter of 2010. During the third quarter, Delhi production averaged 511 Bbls/d, slightly lower than the second quarter of 2010 average due to flowline repairs in the field; however, we expect this production to increase as we expand this CO2 flood. Although we commenced injection of CO2 into Oyster Bayou Field near the end of June 2010, we do not anticipate a production response from this field until late 2011. We have not yet started the construction of our CO2 recycling facilities at Oyster Bayou Field or Hastings Field, both of which are pending receipt of regulatory approval.
       During the third quarter of 2010, operating costs for our tertiary properties averaged $22.54 per Bbl, slightly lower than the third quarter of 2009 average cost of $23.14 per Bbl. The per barrel decrease quarter-to-quarter was primarily due to lower workover costs, offset in part by higher CO2 costs. On a per Bbl basis, our cost of CO2 increased by $0.40 per Bbl, from $4.25 per Bbl during the third quarter of 2009 to $4.65 per Bbl during the third quarter of 2010. For any specific field, we expect our tertiary lease operating expense per Bbl to be high initially and then decrease as production increases, ultimately leveling off until production begins to decline in the latter life of the field, when lease operating expense per Bbl will again increase.
Operating Results
       As summarized in the Overview section above, and discussed in further detail below, our operating results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 were higher than results in the same periods in 2009. The operating results of Encore and ENP from March 9, 2010 through September 30, 2010 are included in these results. As we control the general partner of ENP, the operating results of ENP are consolidated with our results of operations from our legacy properties, even though we only own approximately 46% of ENP’s common units. The primary factors impacting our operating results were the acquisition of Encore, higher oil and natural gas prices, changes in the fair value of our commodity derivative contracts, the gain on the sale of our interests in Genesis, and changes in production, which are all explained in more detail below.

Consists of production associated with the Southern Assets sale, which closed in May 2010; the Cleveland Sand Play sale, which closed in August 2010; and the proposed Haynesville and East Texas sale, which is expected to close in December 2010.
       As outlined in the above table, production during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased 82% and 45% respectively, over the respective 2009 production levels. These increases were primarily due to the additional production from the properties acquired in the Encore Merger, increased production in our tertiary fields, and the Conroe field acquisition which closed in December 2009. Offsetting these increases are the Barnett Shale dispositions in 2009. Our adjusted production for the third quarter of 2010, including ENP but excluding production from the Cleveland Sand Play disposition as well as the anticipated disposition of the Haynesville and East Texas natural gas assets, was 71,824 BOE/d.
       Our tertiary oil production during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased 21% and 20%, respectively, over the respective 2009 production levels. The increase in our tertiary oil production is discussed above under Results of Operations — CO2 Operations.
       Production in our Mississippi — non-tertiary operations decreased 11% and 20% from levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, partially due to the expected gradual decline in Heidelberg Field due to depletion, and the development of the Heidelberg CO2 flood, which resulted in production being shut-in while portions of the field were converted to tertiary operations. When production commences from these CO2 floods, these volumes will be reported as tertiary production for Heidelberg Field. Another almost equal factor in the lower production during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was the lack of drilling activity in the Selma Chalk, a natural gas asset characterized by relatively high initial decline rates.

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
       Our production at Cedar Creek Anticline averaged 10,033 BOE/d during the quarter, comparable to the production in the second quarter in this area. Production from our Bakken properties averaged 4,671 BOE/d in the third quarter, an increase of 3% as compared to second quarter 2010 production. The production increases in the Bakken during 2010 are due to on-going drilling and hydraulic fracturing in this area. Although we had three rigs operating in the Bakken during the third quarter, our production growth in the third quarter was impacted by completion problems on a few wells. We anticipate that we will be able to complete these wells during the fourth quarter, but these completion problems will cause a delay in our production growth in the fourth quarter and will make it difficult to achieve our previous production guidance. Before the end of 2010, we expect to add two drilling rigs in the Bakken, increasing our total expected operated drilling rigs from three to five rigs.
       Overall production decreased from second quarter of 2010 levels due to production attributable to the Southern Assets sale properties being included during the majority of the prior quarter. The anticipated sale of the Haynesville and East Texas properties will further reduce our overall production for the fourth quarter of 2010.
       Our production during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 83% and 81% oil, respectively, as compared to 82% and 75% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. This increase is due to the sale of our Barnett Shale properties in the second half of 2009, the acquisition of interests in the Hastings Field in February 2009, the acquisition of interests in the Conroe Field in December 2009, and the increase in our tertiary operations, partially offset by the natural gas properties which we acquired in the Encore Merger and sold in May 2010.

         Oil and Natural Gas Revenues. Due to the significant increase in oil and natural gas prices between the first nine months of 2009 and 2010, our oil and natural gas revenues increased sharply during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to those in the same periods of 2009.

       Our oil NYMEX differential improved during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to our differential in the comparable period of 2009, primarily due to the 2009 sale of our Barnett Shale properties, where the NGL price was significantly below NYMEX oil prices, partially offset by the Rocky Mountain properties we acquired in the Encore Merger which tend to have higher oil differentials than our historical corporate average. Our oil NYMEX differential for the third quarter of 2010 was slightly worse than the comparable period of 2009 due primarily to greater differentials caused by a pipeline shutdown that temporarily lowered the oil prices received for our Rockies and Bakken production as we had to sell to alternative markets. This pipeline has been returned to service.
       Our natural gas NYMEX differentials are generally caused by movement in the NYMEX natural gas prices during the month, as most of our natural gas is sold on an index price that is set near the first of each month. While the percentage change in NYMEX natural gas differentials can be quite large, these differentials are very seldom more than a dollar above or below NYMEX prices.

       Changes in commodity prices and the expiration of contracts cause fluctuations in the estimated fair value of our commodity derivative contracts. Because we do not utilize hedge accounting for our commodity derivative contracts, the changes in fair value of these contracts, as outlined above, are recognized currently in the income statement. See Notes 6 and 7 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our commodity derivative contracts.
       Production Expenses. Our lease operating expenses increased between the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 in absolute dollars but decreased on a per BOE basis. Between the nine months ended September 30, 2010, lease operating expenses increased in both absolute dollars and on a per BOE basis. The increase in both periods on an absolute basis was primarily a result of:
   
the completion of the Encore Merger on March 9, 2010;
   
our increasing emphasis on tertiary operations and additional tertiary fields moving into the productive phase (see discussion of those expenses under CO2 Operations);
   
increasing personnel and related costs resulting primarily from the Encore Merger; and
   
higher electrical costs to operate our properties due primarily to the expansion of our tertiary operations;
Offsetting the increase was the sale of our Barnett Shale natural gas properties in the second half of 2009, which reduced lease operating expense on an absolute basis, but increased it on a per BOE basis as these properties had a lower per unit operating cost.
       Lease operating expense per BOE averaged $18.43 per BOE and $18.16 per BOE for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $21.22 per BOE and $17.94 per BOE for the same periods in 2009. The significant difference in the per BOE amounts in the 2009 periods is due primarily to the sale of 60% of our Barnett Shale properties in the second quarter of 2009. Those properties had much lower operating costs per BOE than Denbury’s other properties. The addition of the Encore properties during 2010 have caused our lease operating costs on a per BOE basis to be lower as Encore’s properties have lower operating costs per BOE than Denbury’s legacy assets. Excluding the impact of the planned Haynesville and East Texas asset sales and the Cleveland Sand Play sale from our third quarter results, our lease operating expenses would have been $19.62 per BOE.
        Our tertiary operating costs, which have historically been higher than our company-wide operating costs, averaged $22.54 per BOE and $22.19 per BOE during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $23.14 per BOE and $21.53 per BOE for the same periods of 2009. See CO2 Operations for a more detailed discussion. We expect that our lease operating costs on a per BOE basis will trend toward our tertiary operating costs as these operations become a larger percentage of our total operations. Costs of electricity and utilities to operate our tertiary properties have increased on an absolute basis primarily due to the expansion of our tertiary operations. We expect our tertiary operating costs to partially correlate with oil prices, as the price we pay for CO2 is partially tied to oil prices.
       Production taxes and marketing expenses generally change in proportion to commodity prices and production volumes, and as such, increased 240% and 205% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2009. This compares to an increase in oil and natural gas revenues of 108% and 113% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The addition of properties in other operating areas acquired in the Encore Merger also affected these costs. Transportation and plant processing fees increased approximately $5 million and $10 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, primarily due to the addition of properties in other operating areas acquired in the Encore Merger.

       Gross cash G&A expenses increased $25.4 million (70.5%) and $60.2 million (56%), respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods of 2009, primarily due to the Encore Merger and higher compensation and personnel-related costs associated with an increase in the number of employees and higher wages, which we consider necessary in order to remain competitive in our industry. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we increased our employee count by 52% primarily as a result of the Encore Merger, resulting in increased personnel-related costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, stock-based compensation expense increased $3.7 million and $7.4 million, respectively, when compared to levels in the same periods of 2009, primarily due to the increase in employees and changes in the mix of compensation awarded to employees including accruing bonuses at a higher percent.
       During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the increase in personnel-related costs was partially offset by a $8.0 million decrease in charges relating to incentive compensation awards for the management of Genesis. The change of control provision of each member’s compensation agreement was triggered concurrent with our sale of Genesis in the first quarter of 2010 and the incentive compensation awards were settled for $14.9 million, with $1.1 million of this being recognized as expense during February 2010. Additional professional fees, attributable in-part to fees of $1.7 million paid by the ENP general partner to advisors and others related to the strategic alternatives process (see Overview – Strategic alternatives for ENP), and office operating expenses attributable to the legacy Encore and new Plano office leases also contributed to higher G&A expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
       The increase in gross G&A expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to those costs in the same period of 2009, was offset in part by an increase in operator overhead recovery charges. Our well operating agreements allow us, when we are the operator, to charge a well with a specified overhead rate during the drilling phase and also to charge a monthly fixed overhead rate for each producing well. Operator labor and overhead recovery charges also include $2.8 million received from Quantum in payment for our continuing to operate the Southern Asset properties through July 2010. As a result of additional operated wells from acquisitions, additional tertiary operations, drilling activity during the past year, and increased compensation expense, the amount we recovered as operator labor and overhead charges increased by 58% and 41%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods in 2009. Capitalized exploration and development costs also increased between the periods, primarily due to additional personnel and increased compensation costs.

       The net effect of these changes resulted in a 54% increase (a 15% decrease on a per BOE basis) in G&A expense between the comparable third quarters of 2010 and 2009. For the nine month periods, G&A expenses increased 27% on a gross basis, but decreased 13% on a per BOE basis, as our increased production for the nine month period more than offset the increase in expenses.

       Interest expense increased $43.5 million and $86.3 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods in 2009, primarily due to our February 2010 issuance of the 2020 Notes, debt assumed from Encore in the Encore Merger, and borrowings under our new $1.6 billion revolving credit agreement, which were used to finance a portion of the Encore Merger. The increase in interest expense between the comparative nine month periods was partially offset by an increase of 15% in our interest capitalization relating primarily to our CO2 pipelines under construction. The first phase of our Green Pipeline was placed into service on June 29, 2010, and the balance of approximately $815 million (including capitalized interest) was no longer subject to interest capitalization at that date. A significant amount of our interest capitalized during the first half of 2010 (and to a lesser extent the second half of 2009) related to the construction of this first phase, and consequently our capitalized interest for the third quarter of 2010 was 48% and 54% lower compared to the third quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2010, respectively.

       Depletion of oil and natural gas properties increased on both a per BOE basis and in absolute dollars during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods of 2009, primarily due to the increase in our oil and natural gas property balance and the associated reserve volumes and production from the Encore Merger, reserve additions in our tertiary fields and our Bakken properties during the second quarter of 2010, and the acquisition of interests in the Conroe Field in December 2009.
       We continually evaluate the performance of our tertiary projects, and if performance indicates that we are reasonably certain of recovering additional reserves from these floods, we recognize those incremental reserves in that quarter. Since we adjust our DD&A rate each quarter based on any changes in our estimates of oil and natural gas reserves and costs, our DD&A rate could change significantly in the future. We recognized incremental reserves during the second quarter of 2010 related to our tertiary production at several tertiary fields, the most significant of which was Delhi Field, where we initiated CO2 injections during the fourth quarter of 2009, and had first oil production response to tertiary injections during March 2010.
       Our DD&A expense for our other fixed assets increased on an absolute basis during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the rate in the comparable periods in 2009. The increase is primarily a result of the Encore Merger in March 2010 and field office expansion during 2009. Our DD&A expense for our CO2 assets increased on an absolute basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the prior periods due to increased CO2 production. On a per BOE basis, DD&A expense for our CO2 assets and other fixed assets decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the prior year quarter due to increased oil and natural gas production volumes as a result of the Encore Merger which closed in March 2010. The first phase of our Green Pipeline was placed into service on June 29, 2010, and became subject to depreciation. At September 30, 2010, we had $106.8 million of costs (including capitalized interest) related to CO2 pipelines under construction, principally related to the remaining portion of the Green Pipeline to Hastings Field, which were not being depreciated.
       During the third quarter of 2010, the Company changed its method of accounting for CO2 properties and recorded a one-time, non-cash net reduction of $9.6 million ($6.0 million after tax) to depletion, depreciation and amortization expense for the period, which reflects the cumulative impact of the revised accounting policy on our historical financials. See Note 2, Basis of Presentation, for additional information regarding the change.

       Under full cost accounting rules, we are required each quarter to perform a ceiling test calculation. We did not have a ceiling test write-down at September 30, 2010. However, if oil and natural gas prices were to decrease significantly in subsequent periods, we may be required to record additional write-downs under the full cost pool ceiling test in the future. The possibility and amount of any future write-down is difficult to predict, and will depend upon oil and natural gas prices, the incremental proved reserves that may be added each period, revisions to previous reserve estimates and future capital expenditures, and additional capital spent.

Encore Transaction and Other Costs
       FASC Business Combinations topic requires that all transaction-related costs (advisory, legal, accounting, due diligence, integration, etc.) be expensed as incurred. We recognized a total of $11.5 million and $79.3 million, respectively, of transaction and other costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 associated with the Encore Merger, including $10.7 million and $31.4 million, respectively, related to severance costs.

Effective tax rate
    39.4%       34.9%       38.8%       38.7%  
       Our income taxes are based on an estimated statutory rate of approximately 37.8%. Our effective tax rate has historically been slightly lower than our estimated statutory rate due to the impact of certain items such as our domestic production activities deduction, offset in part by certain non-cash stock-based compensation that cannot be deducted for tax purposes in the same manner as book expense. As a result of the Encore Merger, our statutory rate increased, which required us to remeasure our deferred tax liabilities in the first quarter of 2010 resulting in an additional income tax provision of approximately $10 million. As a result of the sale of the Southern Assets, our statutory rate decreased, which required us to remeasure our deferred tax liabilities in the second quarter of 2010 resulting in an income tax benefit of approximately $3 million. The combination of these items increased our effective tax rate to 38.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to 38.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
       During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the current income tax expense (benefit) represented our anticipated alternative minimum cash taxes that we could not offset with enhanced oil recovery credits. In addition, included in that amount was approximately $23 million in current taxes associated with our sale of a portion of our Barnett Shale assets. We recognized a current income tax benefit in the third quarter of 2009 as a result of a reconciliation of our tax provision to the actual amounts reported on our tax return. The current income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 represents state income taxes, primarily related to the sale of the Southern Assets and the sale of our interests in Genesis. As of September 30, 2010, we had an estimated $51.4 million of enhanced oil recovery credits, including $12.9 million related to the Encore Merger, to carry forward that can be utilized to reduce our current income taxes during 2010 or future years. These enhanced oil recovery credits do not begin to expire until 2023. Since the ability to earn additional enhanced oil recovery credits is based upon the level of oil prices, we would not currently expect to earn additional enhanced oil recovery credits unless oil prices were to significantly deteriorate.
       The Encore Merger was treated as a tax-free asset acquisition for tax purposes. Accordingly, Encore’s tax basis and tax attributes carried over to us, with the tax attributes being subject to certain limitations. Upon testing these limitations, it has been determined that the limitations are not likely to affect our use of Encore’s tax attributes. The tax attributes that carried over to us include enhanced oil recovery credits of $12.9 million, alternative minimum tax credits of $2.3 million, and state net operating losses of $1 million, tax effected.
       In the second quarter of 2008, we obtained approval from the National Office of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to change our method of tax accounting for certain assets used in our tertiary oilfield recovery operations which led us to apply for refunds of certain amounts related thereto on our 2004 and 2006 federal income tax returns. In the course of an IRS audit of those claims for refunds, the IRS examination team has questioned the change in accounting method and the ruling received from the National Office of the IRS in 2008. Together with the IRS, we have submitted a request to the National Office of the IRS for a Technical Advice Memorandum (TAM) regarding these issues, which is under consideration by the National Office. Although we have not recorded an uncertain tax position related to these deductions as we expect to receive those tax refunds, given the existence of the TAM process related to those refunds, the payment of those tax refunds of approximately $10.6 million for tax years through 2006 is not free from doubt. Although this change to our method of tax accounting is not expected to have a significant impact on our overall tax rate, it is anticipated that it could defer the amount of cash taxes we might otherwise pay over the next several years.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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 our 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 us or on our behalf. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: fluctuations of the prices received or demand for our oil and natural gas; unexpected difficulties in integrating the operations of Denbury and Encore; effects of our indebtedness; success of our risk management techniques; inaccurate cost estimates; availability of and fluctuations in the prices of goods and services; the uncertainty of drilling results and reserve estimates; operating hazards; disruption of operations and damages from hurricanes or tropical storms; acquisition risks; requirements for capital or its availability; conditions in the financial and credit markets; general economic conditions; competition and government regulations; and unexpected delays, as well as the risks and uncertainties inherent in oil and natural gas drilling and production activities or which are otherwise discussed in this quarterly report, including, without limitation, the portions referenced above, and the uncertainties set forth from time to time in our other public reports, filings and public statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Long-Term Debt and Interest Rate Sensitivity
        We finance some of our acquisitions and other expenditures with fixed and variable rate debt. These debt agreements expose us to market risk related to changes in interest rates. We had $360 million of bank debt outstanding as of September 30, 2010 (primarily ENP bank debt as outlined below), $210 million of which is subject to floating interest rates after taking into consideration interest rate swaps. The carrying value of our bank debt is approximately fair value based on the fact that it is subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate the rates available to us for those periods. We adjusted the estimated fair value measurements of our bank debt at September 30, 2010, for estimated nonperformance risk of approximately $13.6 million, which was determined utilizing industry credit default swaps. None of our existing debt has any triggers or covenants regarding our debt ratings with rating agencies. The fair value of the subordinated debt is based on quoted market prices. The following table presents the carrying and fair values of our debt, along with average interest rates at September 30, 2010:

        At this level of floating rate debt, if LIBOR increased by 10%, we would incur an additional $0.5 million of interest expense per year on our revolving credit facilities, and if LIBOR decreased by 10%, we would incur $0.5 million less. Additionally, if the discount rates on our senior notes increased by 10%, we estimate the fair value of our fixed rate debt at September 30, 2010 would increase by approximately $18.5 million, and if the discount rates on our senior notes decreased by 10%, we estimate the fair value would decrease by approximately $18.5 million.
        As of September 30, 2010, the fair market value of ENP’s interest rate swaps was a net liability of approximately $2.4 million. If the Eurodollar rate increased by 10%, we estimate the liability would remain at approximately $2.4 million, and if the Eurodollar rate decreased by 10%, we estimate the liability would increase to approximately $2.5 million.
        See Note 5 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding our long-term debt.
Commodity Derivative Contracts and Commodity Price Sensitivity
        From time to time, we enter into various oil and natural gas derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. These contracts have consisted of price floors, collars, and fixed price swaps. The production that we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt and financial strength and expectation of future commodity prices. In early 2009, we began to employ a strategy to hedge a portion of our production looking out 12 to 15 months from each quarter, as we believe it is important to protect our future cash flow to provide a level of assurance for our capital spending in those future periods in light of current worldwide economic uncertainties. However, as a result of the Encore Merger and the higher debt levels necessary to finance it, we entered into costless collars in November 2009 and March 2010 to hedge a significant portion of our forecasted production through 2011. Given the sale of the Southern Assets commencing in May 2010, we returned to our strategy initiated during early 2009 whereby we hedge a portion of our production for the next 12 to 15 months, as discussed above. See Notes 6 and 7 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our commodity derivative contracts.

        All of the mark-to-market valuations used for our oil and natural gas derivatives are provided by external sources and are based on prices that are actively quoted. We manage and control market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures, and diversification. All of our commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our revolving credit agreement and all of ENP’s commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under its revolving credit agreement. We have included an estimate of nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts. We have measured nonperformance risk based upon credit default swaps or credit spreads. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the net asset (liability) of our open commodity derivative contracts was reduced by $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for estimated nonperformance risk.
        For accounting purposes, we do not apply hedge accounting to our commodity derivative contracts. This means that any changes in the fair value of these derivative contracts will be charged to earnings on a quarterly basis instead of charging the effective portion to other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion to earnings.
        At September 30, 2010, our commodity derivative contracts were recorded at their fair value, which was a net asset of approximately $67.2 million (excluding $32.4 million of deferred premiums that Denbury is obligated to pay for its derivative contracts, which payments are not subject to changes in commodity prices), a significant change from the $128.7 million fair value liability recorded at December 31, 2009. This change is primarily related to the expiration of oil derivative contracts during the first nine months of 2010 and to the oil and natural gas futures prices as of September 30, 2010 in relation to the new commodity derivative contracts for 2010 through 2012 that we entered into during the first nine months of 2010.
        Based on NYMEX crude oil and natural gas futures prices as of September 30, 2010, and assuming both a 10% increase and decrease thereon, we would expect to make or receive payments on our crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts as seen in the following table:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
        Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010 to ensure: that information required to be disclosed in the reports it files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that information that is required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
        Information with respect to this item is incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, updated as follows.
        On October 21, 2010, the Presiding Judge in the Israni and Scott class action cases related to the Encore Merger which are pending in Tarrant County District Court, delayed until December 16, 2010, the October 21st hearing originally set to consider final approval of the Stipulation of Settlement dated June 22, 2010 settling the Israni and Scott cases, certifying the class and dismissing the case with prejudice. This delay was ordered to allow time for mailing of a supplemental notice of pendency and proposed settlement to all former Encore shareholders. The settlement amount agreed upon with the Israni and Scott plaintiffs is immaterial to us.
        On October 11, 2010, the Presiding Judge in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas in Harbor Police Retirement System vs. Gareth Roberts, et al denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ compensation claims. On October 20, 2010, the defendants filed with the Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas, Texas, a petition for a writ of mandamus regarding establishment of demand futility, which motion is pending. Denbury believes that its directors have a valid defense to the remaining claims against them, and that the allegations in this suit are without merit. Denbury and its directors intent to defend this litigation vigorously.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
        Information with respect to the risk factors has been incorporated by reference from Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. There have been no material changes to the risk factors since the filing of such Form 10-K.
