INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors of Denbury Resources Inc.:


We have  reviewed  the  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheet of
Denbury  Resources  Inc. and  subsidiaries  (the  "Company") as of September 30,
2001, and the related  condensed  consolidated  statements of operations for the
three and  nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 2001 and 2000 and cash flows
for the nine- month periods ended  September 30, 2001 and 2000.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We  conducted  our  reviews in  accordance  with  standards  established  by the
American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A  review  of  interim
financial  information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and of making inquiries of persons  responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with auditing  standards  generally  accepted in the United States of
America,  the objective of which is the  expression of an opinion  regarding the
financial  statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly,  we do not express such an
opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such condensed  consolidated  financial  statements for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

We have  previously  audited,  in accordance with auditing  standards  generally
accepted in the United  States of America,  the  consolidated  balance  sheet of
Denbury  Resources Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and the related
consolidated statements of operations,  stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 22,
2001,  we  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion on those  consolidated  financial
statements.  In our  opinion,  the  information  set  forth in the  accompanying
condensed  consolidated  balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 is fairly stated,
in all material  respects,  in relation to the  consolidated  balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Statements

     The accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements of Denbury
Resources  Inc. (the  "Company" or  "Denbury")  have been prepared in accordance
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission  ("SEC").  These financial
statements  and  the  notes  thereto  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the
Company's  annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2000. Any
capitalized terms used but not defined in these Notes to Condensed  Consolidated
Financial Statements have the same meaning given to them in the Form 10-K.

     The financial data for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2001 and 2000,  included  herein,  have been  subjected  to a limited  review by
Deloitte  &  Touche   LLP,   Denbury's   independent   accountants.   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
fiscal year. In the opinion of management of Denbury, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (of a normal
recurring  nature)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the  consolidated  financial
position of the Company as of September 30, 2001 and the consolidated results of
its operations  for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 2001 and 2000
and its cash  flows  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2001 and 2000.
Certain  prior period items have been  reclassified  to make the  classification
consistent with this quarter.

Net Income per Common Share

     Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per common  share is  calculated  in the same manner but also
considers the impact on net income and common shares for the potential  dilution
from stock options and any other  convertible  securities  outstanding.  For the
three and nine month  periods ended  September 30, 2001 and 2000,  there were no
adjustments  to net income for  purposes of  calculating  diluted net income per
common share. The following is a  reconciliation  of the weighted average common
shares used in the basic and diluted  net income per common  share  calculations
for the three and nine month periods  ended  September 30, 2001 and 2000 (shares

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In July 2001, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  141,   ("SFAS  No.   141"),   "Business
Combinations."  SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase  method of accounting be
used for all business  combinations  initiated or completed after June 30, 2001.
SFAS No. 141 also  specified  criteria  that  intangible  assets  acquired  in a
purchase method business  combination must be recognized and reported apart from
goodwill.  The  adoption  of SFAS  No.  141 as of July 1,  2001 did not have any
impact on the Company's financial statements.

     The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board has  recently  issued  two new
pronouncemnts,  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 143 ("SFAS No.
143"),  "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS No. 144"), "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

     SFAS No.  143  requires  that the fair  value of a  liability  for an asset
retirement  obligation  be recorded in the period in which it is incured and the
corresponding  cost capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related
long-lived  asset.  The  liability is accreted to its present value each period,
and the  capitalized  cost is  depreciated  over the useful  life of the related
asset. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount,
a gain or  loss  is  recognized.  The  standard  is  effective  for the  Company
beginning in 2003, but earlier adoption is encouraged.  Adoption of the standard
will result in recording a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
in the period of adoption. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this
new standard or when the Company will adopt this new standard.

     SFAS No. 144  addresses  the  financial  accounting  and  reporting for the
impairment or disposal of long-lived  assets.  SFAS No. 144 supersedes  SFAS No.
121 but retains its fundamental  provisions for the (a)  recognition/measurement
of impairment of long-lived  assets to be held and used and (b)  measurement  of
long-lived  assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS No. 144 also supersedes other
pronouncements  which  currently  do not  affect  the  Company.  SFAS No. 144 is
effective for the Company beginning in 2002. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of this new standard.

     On August 15,  2001 in a private  Rule 144A sale,  the  Company  issued $75
million of Series B Senior  Subordinated Notes due 2008 at 91.371% of their face
amount.  The  notes  were  issued  under  a  separate  indenture  but  on  terms
substantially  identical to the Company's existing 9% Senior  Subordinated Notes
due 2008.  The net proceeds of $65.9  million were used to reduce the  Company's
existing bank debt.

     The   Company's   bank  credit   facility   provides   for  a   semi-annual
redetermination  of the  borrowing  base on April 1st and  October  1st.  At the
October 1, 2001 redetermination, the Company's borrowing base was increased from
$200  million to $220 million  leaving the Company with a borrowing  capacity of
approximately $99 million as of September 30, 2001.

 4.  PRODUCT PRICE HEDGING CONTRACTS

     The Company enters into various  financial  contracts to hedge its exposure
to commodity price risk associated with  anticipated  future oil and natural gas

production.  These hedge contracts are purchased to either protect the Company's
budget  or to  protect  a rate  of  return  on  acquisitions.  All of the  hedge
contracts  acquired  for 2001 and beyond  have been in the form of price  floors
which  provide the  Company  protection  if oil and natural gas prices  decrease
below the floor contract prices,  but do not limit the upside if oil and natural
gas prices remain or increase above the floor prices.

Budget-related price floors

     In 2000, the Company  acquired  floors on 2001  production  consisting of a
$22.00  floor on  12,800  Bbls/d  and a $2.80  floor on  37,500  MMBtu/d  for an
aggregate cost of $2.6 million,  which together cover  approximately  75% of the
Company's anticipated production,  excluding the anticipated production from the
acquisitions  made in the fourth  quarter  of 2000 and the  Matrix  acquisition.
During July 2001, the Company  acquired a $21.00 floor on 10,000 Bbls/d for 2002
production at an aggregate cost of approximately $4.7 million.  This price floor
covers approximately 50% of the anticipated oil production for 2002.

Acquisition-related price floors

     For the  properties  acquired  in the fourth  quarter of 2000,  the Company
purchased  puts or  floors  at the time of  acquisition  for  nearly  all of the
anticipated  proven  natural gas production  from these  properties for 2001 and
2002.  These  floors  were  purchased  at a total cost of $2.5  million and have
varying  volume and price floors each quarter for 2001 and 2002.  For the Matrix
properties  acquired in July 2001 (see also Note 6), the  Company has  protected
its  investment  with the  purchase of price floors  covering  nearly all of the
forecasted  proven natural gas production  through December 2003, with a minimum
price of $4.25 per MMBtu for July 2001 through December 2002 and $3.75 per MMBtu
for all of 2003.  The  Company  paid a total of $18.0  million  for these  price
floors.

     The  following  table  lists  all of the  individual  floors in place as of
September 30, 2001.

     On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"),  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and
Hedging Activities." This statement requires that every derivative instrument be
recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair
value.  The  change  in the fair  value  of the  derivative  contracts  is to be
recognized  either currently in earnings or as accumulated  other  comprehensive
income  (equity)  depending on whether  specific  hedge  criteria are met.  Upon
adoption,  the Company  recorded a $1.6 million  increase in assets for the fair
value of the  Company's  floors  in  place,  with a  corresponding  increase  to
accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $1.0 million, after tax,
for the transition adjustment as of January 1, 2001.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     At September 30, 2001, the fair value of the Company's derivative contracts
was approximately $50.5 million, an increase of approximately $13.1 million over
their fair value at June 30, 2001, due primarily to the reduced price of natural
gas futures during the quarter and additional floors purchased for approximately
$4.7  million  during the third  quarter.  This  increase in fair value,  net of
related income taxes,  resulted in an increase to other comprehensive  income of
approximately  $8.3 million in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 133.
Approximately   $12.9  million  of  the  $18.0  million  in  accumulated   other
comprehensive  income as of September  30, 2001  relates to contracts  that will
expire  within  the next  twelve  months and will be  reclassified  out of other
comprehensive income. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2001 the
Company also reclassified approximately $78,000 and $934,000,  respectively, out
of other comprehensive  income and into amortization of derivative contracts and
other non-cash hedging adjustments in the condensed  consolidated  statements of
operations  relating  to the  adjustment  made at January 1, 2001 as part of the
adoption of SFAS No. 133. In addition,  the Company expensed  approximately $2.1
million and $3.2 million  during the three and nine months ended  September  30,
2001 relating to the amortization of the cost of the price floors.

     During the third  quarter of 2001,  the Company  began  reporting  its cash
receipts from its hedges as a separate line item on the income  statement,  gain
(loss) on  settlements  of  derivative  contracts,  and included such gain as an
adjustment to its reported oil and natural gas unit prices,  a methodology  that
is more  consistent  with the manner that hedging gains and losses were reported
in prior years.  During the three months ended  September 30, 2001,  the Company
received a total of $7.2  million in cash  payments  from its  natural gas price
floors,  resulting in an increase of $0.72 per Mcf. During the nine months ended
September  30,  2001,  the  Company  received  a total of $7.8  million  in cash
payments  from its natural gas price  floors,  resulting in an increase of $0.36
per Mcf.

     During the first nine months of 2000 the Company had  zero-cost  collars in
place that hedged  3,000 Bbls/d with a price floor of $14.00 per Bbl and a price
ceiling  of $18.05 per Bbl and a natural  gas  contract  that  hedged 24 million
cubic  feet of natural  gas per day with a price  floor of $1.90 per MMBtu and a
price ceiling of $2.58 per MMBtu.  In the third quarter of 2000 the Company paid
approximately  $3.7 million on its oil hedge  contract,  and $3.8 million on the
natural gas hedge  contract.  Through the first nine months of 2000, the Company
paid  approximately  $9.5 million on the oil hedge  contract and $5.7 million on
the natural gas hedge contract.

5.   PURCHASE OF CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) ASSETS

     On January 18, 2001, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement
to acquire  certain  CO2  reserves,  production  and  associated  assets  from a
division of Airgas, Inc. for $42 million. The cost of the acquisition was funded
by  available  cash and $21 million  borrowed  under the  Company's  bank credit
facility.  The  acquisition  included  ten  producing  CO2 wells and  production
facilities located near Jackson,  Mississippi,  and a 183-mile, 20-inch pipeline
that is currently  transporting CO2 to Denbury's  tertiary recovery operation at
Little  Creek  Field,  as well as to other  commercial  customers.  The  Company
completed the purchase of these assets on February 2, 2001.

6.   ACQUISITION OF MATRIX OIL AND GAS, INC.

     On July 10, 2001,  the Company  completed the  acquisition  of Matrix Oil &
Gas,  Inc.("Matrix"),  an  independent  oil and gas company  based in Covington,
Louisiana.  Under the merger  agreement,  Denbury paid a total of  approximately
$159.0 million, comprised of $99.8 million (63%) in cash and $59.2 million (37%)
in the form of 6.6 million shares of Denbury's common stock. The cash portion of
the purchase was funded with available cash and borrowings of $95.0 million from
Denbury's  bank credit  facility.  The purchase  price was  allocated to the net

assets  acquired  based on their  estimated  fair  market  values at the date of
acquisition,   including  $30.0  million  of  the  purchase  price  recorded  as
unevaluated  property to reflect the significant  probable and possible reserves
identified.  Such  allocations  are  based on  preliminary  information  and are
subject to change when final valuations are obtained.  The Company has protected
its  investment  with the  purchase of price floors  covering  nearly all of the
forecasted  proven natural gas production  through December 2003, with a minimum
price of $4.25 per MMBtu for July 2001 through December 2002 and $3.75 per MMBtu
for all of 2003.  The  acquired  operations  of  Matrix  were  reflected  in the
Company's financial statements beginning July 1, 2001.

     The  following  pro forma  information  shows the  consolidated  results of

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

     The following  should be read in conjunction  with the Company's  financial
statements contained herein and in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2000, along with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations  contained in such Form 10-K. Any  capitalized  terms used
but not defined in the following  discussion have the same meaning given to them
in the Form 10-K.

     Denbury is a growing  independent  oil and natural  gas company  engaged in
acquisition,  development  and  exploration  activities  in the U.S.  Gulf Coast
region.  The Company has  significant  reserves and  production in  Mississippi,
where it is the largest oil and natural gas producer,  in onshore  Louisiana and
in the  offshore  Gulf of Mexico.  The Company  increases  the value of acquired
properties in its core areas through a combination of exploitation, drilling and
proven engineering extraction processes.

2001 ACQUISITIONS

                               Matrix Acquisition

     The third quarter of 2001 results include for the first time the operations
of Matrix Oil & Gas, Inc.  ("Matrix"),  an independent oil and gas company based
in Covington,  Louisiana (the "Matrix  Acquisition")  acquired by the Company on
July 10, 2001. Matrix primarily focuses on the offshore Gulf of Mexico,  with an
interest  in 19  offshore  blocks and two  onshore  fields.  The top five Matrix
fields make up 93% of its proved reserves and 88% of its current production.  At
June 30, 2001,  based on a report prepared by DeGolyer and  MacNaughton,  Matrix
had  estimated  proved  reserves  of 11.9 MMBOE  (71.6  Bcfe),  92% of which was
natural gas and 78% of which was proved developed.

     Under the merger agreement with Matrix, the Company paid approximately $159
million, comprised of $99.8 million (63%) in cash and $59.2 million (37%) in the
form of 6.6 million  shares of Denbury's  common stock.  The cash portion of the
purchase  was  funded  with  available  cash and $95.0  million of debt from the
Company's  bank credit  facility.  The Company has recorded $30.0 million of the
purchase price as unevaluated property costs to reflect the significant probable
and possible  reserves  identified,  resulting in an adjusted  purchase price of
approximately  $1.80 per Mcfe. The Company has protected its investment with the
purchase of price floors,  or puts,  covering nearly all of Matrix's  forecasted
proven natural gas  production  through  December 2003,  with a minimum price of
$4.25 per MMBtu from July 2001 through December 2002 and $3.75 per MMBtu for all
of 2003.  With these floors,  the Company should receive at least $143.0 million
of revenue from these properties from July 2001 through December 2003,  assuming
production at forecasted  levels.  The Company paid a total of $18.0 million for
these  price  floors and has  received  $6.5  million in cash  payments on these
contracts  through  September  2001.  The price  floors had a market value as of
September 30, 2001 of $39.4 million.

                           Carbon Dioxide Acquisition

     In February 2001, the Company  acquired  carbon dioxide  ("CO2")  reserves,
production and associated  assets from a unit of Airgas,  Inc. for $42.0 million
(the "CO2 Acquisition").  This acquisition  included ten producing CO2 wells and
production facilities located near Jackson, Mississippi, and a 183-mile, 20-inch
pipeline that is currently  transporting CO2 to the Company's  tertiary recovery
operation at Little  Creek  Field,  as well as to other  commercial  users.  The
Company  acquired nearly 100% of the working interest in the producing CO2 wells
and operates the properties.  As of June 30, 2001, based on a report prepared by
DeGolyer  and   MacNaughton,   the  Company   estimates  that  these  wells  had
approximately  652 billion cubic feet of usable CO2 reserves.  Production during
the third  quarter of 2001 averaged  approximately  92 million cubic feet of CO2
per day, of which about 49 million  cubic feet per day was used for injection at
the  Company's  Little Creek Field and the  remainder of about 43 million  cubic
feet per day was sold under long-term contracts to commercial CO2 users.


                                       16


                            DENBURY RESOURCES INC.

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

     The Company  estimates  that the CO2  production  capacity of the  acquired
wells is approximately  110 million cubic feet of CO2 per day and estimates that
it could be increased  to about 250 million  cubic feet of CO2 per day by adding
compression  facilities.  An associated pipeline purchased in the acquisition is
capable  of  transporting  over 400  million  cubic  feet of CO2 per  day.  This
acquisition  assures that CO2 will be available  when needed at a reasonable and
predictable cost and affords the Company the ability to expand its operations at
Little Creek Field and elsewhere in Mississippi. Ownership of these CO2 reserves
also  provides a significant  strategic  advantage in the  acquisition  of other
properties  in  Mississippi  that could be further  exploited  through  tertiary
recovery.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     While high oil and  natural  gas  prices  early in 2001 have lead to higher
overall  prices for the first nine months of 2001 compared to that same period a
year  earlier,  the  effect of  falling  prices  during  2001 is  visible in the
comparative third quarters,  as third quarter 2001 prices per BOE (excluding the
effect of  hedges)  were 26% lower than in the third  quarter  of 2000.  As more
fully described under "Results of Operations"  below,  the Company's  results of
operations,  cash flows and financial position improved significantly during the
first nine months of 2001,  as compared to the  comparable  period of 2000, as a
result of increased  production and the higher  commodity  prices,  particularly
natural gas prices.  The Company's  pre-tax  results of operations and cash flow
also improved  between the respective  third quarters due to higher  production,
the Matrix  acquisition and cash receipts from the Company's price floors,  even
though the commodity prices decreased between the two quarterly periods.

     Oil and natural gas revenues increased $28.7 million between the respective
third quarters.  The overall increase in production  volumes  contributed  $36.8
million or 128% of the increase,  the incremental  cash receipts from derivative
contracts  contributed $14.8 million or 52% of the increase,  and the decline in
commodity  prices  reduced  revenues by $22.9  million or a negative  80% of the
increase.  Between  the  respective  nine month  periods,  oil and  natural  gas
revenues  increased $100.4 million.  The overall increase in production  volumes
contributed $61.4 million or 61% of the increase,  the incremental cash receipts
from derivative contracts contributed $23.0 million or 23% of the increase,  and
the overall increase in commodity prices contributed $16.0 million or 16% of the
increase.

     During the first nine months of 2001 the Company borrowed $126.0 million on
its bank  credit  facility  to  partially  fund three  transactions:  the Matrix
acquisition  ($95.0 million),  one-half of the CO2 Acquisition  ($21.0 million),
and a portion  ($10.0  million) of the $18.0  million  purchase of price  floors
associated  with the  Matrix  Acquisition.  The  Company  began the year with an
outstanding  bank balance of $74.0  million,  repaid  $13.1  million of its bank
borrowings  in the first  quarter of 2001 with excess cash flow  generated  from
operations,  and repaid $66.0  million in August 2001 with the net proceeds from
the August  15,  2001 sale of Series B Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2008 (see
below), leaving a balance outstanding of $120.9 million as of September 30, 2001
($131 million  outstanding  as of November 1, 2001).  The Company's  bank credit
facility  provides for a semi-annual  redetermination  of the borrowing  base on
April 1st and October 1st. At the October 1, 2001 redetermination, the Company's
borrowing base was increased  from $200 million to $220 million,  to reflect the
changes during the prior six months  relating to the Matrix  acquisition and the
issuance of an additional  $75 million of  subordinated  debt. As a result,  the
Company had  approximately  $99 million of  borrowing  capacity on its  existing
credit line as of September  30, 2001 ($89 million as of November 1, 2001).  The
next scheduled redetermination for the bank credit facility is April 1, 2002.

     On August 15, 2001, the Company closed a $75 million private Rule 144A sale
of Series B Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2008 sold at  91.371%  of their face
amount.  The  notes  were  issued  under  a  separate  indenture  but  on  terms
substantially  identical to the Company's existing 9% Senior  Subordinated Notes
due 2008.  The net proceeds of $65.9  million were used to reduce the  Company's
existing  bank debt.  On  November  1, 2001,  the  Company  began an offering to
exchange these privately  placed notes for a like principal amount of registered
notes.

                             DENBURY RESOURCES INC.

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

     The Company  anticipates  that its available  credit will be sufficient for
the  foreseeable  future  in order  to  continue  its  planned  development  and
exploration  program.  Since 1999,  the Company's  policy has been to budget its
development and exploration  expenditures so that they are less than or equal to
its cash flow from  operations.  The Company plans to continue this policy.  The
Company's  primary use of debt,  including bank debt, has been for acquisitions,
or for  temporary  borrowings  and  repayments  for  working  capital  purposes.
Although the Company has a significant  inventory of development and exploration
projects  in-house,  on  a  long-term  basis  the  Company  will  need  to  make
acquisitions in order to continue its growth and to replace its production.  The
Company's  borrowing base is set by its banks at their sole discretion  based on
various  factors,  some  of  which  are  out of the  Company's  control.  If the
Company's  borrowing base should be reduced in the future, the capital available
to the Company may be limited. The lack of available capital or the inability of
the Company to complete  suitable  acquisitions  over an extended period of time
could limit or even eliminate the Company's future growth.

     The  Company's  capital  budget  program for the full year 2001,  excluding
acquisitions,  is budgeted at approximately $175.0 million and at $120.0 million
for 2002. The Company's  capital budget for 2002 was reduced from 2001 levels to
reflect the lower anticipated  commodity  prices.  If prices,  and corresponding
cash flow, should be higher than  anticipated,  the Company has several projects
in inventory which could be added to the 2002 budget.

     The Company has purchased price floors that cover  approximately 80% to 85%
of its expected  2001  production  and  approximately  45% of its expected  2002
production (see "Market Risk  Managment").  The Company entered into these price
floors in order to protect  the  Company's  cash flow so that a majority  of the
Company's capital program can be implemented and so that the Company may achieve
a minimum  rate of return on its recent  acquisitions,  provided  that its other
assumptions  related to the acquisitions are correct.  Although the level of the
Company's projected cash flow is highly variable and difficult to predict due to
the volatility in product  prices,  the success of its drilling and  development
projects  and  other  factors,  the  Company  expects  that its cash  flow  from
operations for 2001 and 2002 will exceed its capital  development  expenditures,
with any  excess  cash flow used to reduce  bank  debt  during  the year,  or to
partially fund acquisitions.

SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS

     During the first  nine  months of 2001,  the  Company  spent  approximately
$113.6  million on oil and gas  development  and  exploration  expenditures  and
approximately  $93.1  million  on oil  and  gas  property  acquisitions,  net of
purchase price adjustments.  In addition,  the Company issued 6.6 million shares
of Denbury's  common  stock with a value of $59.2  million as part of the Matrix
acquisition.  The oil and gas exploration and development  expenditures included
$78.4 million spent on drilling,  $13.1 million on geological,  geophysical  and
acreage  expenditures and $22.1 million on workover costs. Also during the first
nine months of 2001, the Company spent approximately $555,000 on CO2 development
expenditures  and $44.4 million on CO2  acquisitions.  These  expenditures  were
funded by cash flow from operations and bank debt.

     During the first nine months of 2000, the Company spent approximately $59.1
million on exploration  and  development  expenditures  and  approximately  $3.3
million on acquisitions.  The exploration and development  expenditures included
approximately  $30.4  million  spent on drilling,  $6.5  million on  geological,
geophysical and acreage  expenditures and $22.2 million spent on workover costs.
These expenditures were funded primarily by cash flow from operations.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company's operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2001 improved significantly over the comparable prior year periods
due to increased  production and lower costs on a BOE basis as further set forth
below. In addition,  commodity prices for the comparable nine month periods were
higher in 2001 than in 2000;  conversely,  when comparing the  respective  third
quarters, commodity prices were lower in 2001 than 2000.

     PRODUCTION: In the third quarter of 2001, production averaged 35,112 BOE/d,
a 71% increase from the third quarter of 2000 and a 26% increase from the second
quarter of 2001 average of 27,902  BOE/d.  Production  for the nine months ended
September  30, 2001 averaged  29,914  BOE/d,  a 51% increase over the first nine

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

months of 2000.  Approximately  6,700  BOE/d of the third  quarter  period  over
period increase was attributable to the acquisition of Matrix Oil & Gas, Inc. in
July  2001,  approximately  4,100  BOE/d  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of
Thornwell Field in the fourth quarter of 2000, and the balance of  approximately
3,700 BOE/d a result of successful  internal  development at Thornwell,  Lirette
and Little Creek Fields, and the Company's offshore properties, partially offset
by natural overall production  declines.  For the comparable nine month periods,
the  increases  related  to the same  areas.  The  Matrix  and  Thornwell  Field
acquisitions were both  predominately  natural gas,  contributing to a change in
the overall mix of the Company's oil and natural gas  production.  For the third
quarter of 2000,  approximately 25% of the Company's  production was natural gas
as compared to a more balanced 52% in the third quarter of 2001.

     Production  at  Thornwell  Field,  acquired in the fourth  quarter of 2000,
averaged  4,380  BOE/d in the third  quarter of 2001,  a 14%  increase  over the
second quarter of 2001 and the highest  quarterly  average to date. The increase
was a result of successful  development and exploration  drilling in that field.
Little Creek Field continued to respond to the fourth phase of tertiary recovery
operations, resulting in an average rate of 2,317 BOE/d during the third quarter
of 2001, an increase of 17% over  production in the third quarter of 2000, and a
slight increase over the second quarter of 2001 average.  Little Creek continued
to increase  throughout the quarter,  exiting the quarter at approximately 3,000
BOE/d.  Production  at Little Creek is expected to further  increase  during the
next two years, peaking at estimated rates of 3,500 to 4,500 BOE/d in 2003.

     At Heidelberg Field, the Company's largest field, production averaged 7,876
BOE/d in the third quarter of 2001, a 3% increase  over  production in the third
quarter of 2000 but slightly less than the average  production during the second
quarter  of  2001.  For the  first  nine  months  of 2001,  production  from the
Heidelberg  Field  averaged 7,940 BOE/d,  a 12% increase over  production  there
during the first nine  months of 2000.  This  increase  is  attributable  to the
Company's  continued  drilling  program  and  waterflood  response.  The Company
believes that production at Heidelberg  Field has probably reached a plateau and
does not expect any significant increases at this field in the near future.

     Production  at Lirette Field  averaged  2,394 BOE/d in the third quarter of
2001,  an increase of 60% over the average  BOE/d rate for the third  quarter of
2000.  For the first nine months of 2001,  production at Lirette Field  averaged
2,768 BOE/d,  a 101% increase over  production in the first nine months of 2000.
The  production  increase  at Lirette  Field is  primarily  attributable  to the
discovery  well,  Leon  Hebert  Heirs  #1,  that  commenced  production  in late
September 2000.

     Production from the Company's offshore fields was 10,426 BOE/d in the third
quarter of 2001,  including 7,361 BOE/d from the Matrix properties,  as compared
to only 285 BOE/d for the third  quarter  of 2000 and 1,981  BOE/d in the second
quarter of 2001.  The Company began to focus on offshore  properties  during the
second  quarter of 2000 and has added new  properties and wells since that time.
During the first quarter of 2001, production commenced at three of the Company's
offshore  fields as a result of wells drilled at Main Pass,  High Island 287 and
High Island 521.  Production  commenced from five additional offshore wells late
in the  second  quarter  and  early in the third  quarter  of 2001.  The  Matrix
properties were added in July 2001.

     OIL AND NATURAL GAS  REVENUES:  Oil and natural gas  revenues for the third
quarter of 2001 increased 65% from the comparable quarter of 2000, and increased
86% when  comparing the first nine month  periods.  Oil and natural gas revenues
increased  $28.7 million  between the  respective  third  quarters.  The overall
increase  in  production  volumes  contributed  $36.8  million  or  128%  of the
increase,  the incremental cash receipts from derivative  contracts  contributed
$14.8  million  or 52% of the  increase,  and the  decline in  commodity  prices
reduced revenues by $22.9 million or a negative 80% of the increase. Between the
respective  nine month periods,  oil and natural gas revenues  increased  $100.4
million. The overall increase in production volumes contributed $61.4 million or
61% of the increase,  the incremental  cash receipts from  derivative  contracts
contributed  $23.0 million or 23% of the increase,  and the overall  increase in
commodity prices contributed $16.0 million or 16% of the increase.

                             DENBURY RESOURCES INC.

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


     The Company's  realized  unhedged  natural gas prices for the third quarter
averaged  $3.09 per Mcf and for the first nine months of 2001 averaged $4.78 per
Mcf, a decrease  of 33% and an increase  of 32% over the  respective  prior year
periods.  The  Company's  realized  unhedged  oil prices  decreased in the third
quarter and first nine months of 2001 from the  comparable  periods in 2000,  by
approximately  18% and 8%,  respectively.  Natural  gas  represented  52% of the
Company's  third quarter of 2001  production on a BOE basis,  compared to 25% in
the second quarter of 2000.

     During the third  quarter of 2001,  the Company  began  reporting  its cash
receipts  from its hedges as a separate  line item on the income  statement,  as
gain (loss) on settlements of derivative contracts, and included such gain as an
adjustment to its reported oil and natural gas unit prices,  a methodology  that
is more  consistent  with the manner that hedging gains and losses were reported
in prior years.  During the three months ended  September 30, 2001,  the Company
received a total of $7.2  million in cash  payments  from its  natural gas price
floors, resulting  in an  increase  of our  natural  gas price of $0.72 per Mcf.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company received a total of
$7.8 million in cash payments from its natural gas price floors, resulting in an
increase of our natural gas price of $0.36 per Mcf.

     During the first nine months of 2000 the Company had  zero-cost  collars in
place that hedged  3,000 Bbls/d with a price floor of $14.00 per Bbl and a price
ceiling  of $18.05 per Bbl and a natural  gas  contract  that  hedged 24 million
cubic  feet of natural  gas per day with a price  floor of $1.90 per MMBtu and a
price ceiling of $2.58 per MMBtu.  In the third quarter of 2000 the Company paid
approximately  $3.7 million on its oil hedge  contract,  and $3.8 million on the
natural gas hedge contract,  reducing its average oil price by $2.63 per Bbl and
its average natural gas price by $1.34 per Mcf. Through the first nine months of
2000, the Company paid  approximately $9.5 million on the oil hedge contract and
$5.7 million on the natural gas hedge  contract,  reducing its average oil price
by $2.34 per Bbl and its average natural gas price by $0.70 per Mcf.

     PRODUCTION EXPENSES: Oil and gas lease operating expenses decreased 9% on a
BOE basis between the respective  third quarters,  and 4% between the respective
first nine  months,  as a result of the general  increases  in  production,  the
addition  of the  Matrix  natural  gas  properties  in July 2001 and  additional
savings  resulting  from the  Company's  ownership of CO2  purchased in February
2001.  The acquired  Matrix  properties  are  predominately  natural gas,  which
typically have a lower per unit operating  cost than oil  properties.  Operating
expenses per BOE averaged  $3.50 for the Matrix  properties in the third quarter
of 2001,  significantly  less than the  Company  overall  average of $4.70.  The
Company also  realized  approximately  $900,000 of savings from its ownership of
the CO2 properties (see below).  Although expenses were lower on a per BOE basis
between the third quarters of 2000 and 2001, lease operating  expenses increased
on a gross basis by $5.5  million,  or 56%, and between the first nine months of
2000 and 2001 lease  operating  expenses  increased  by $12.4  million,  or 44%.
Approximately  $3.4  million  of the third  quarter  of 2001  increase  and $5.0
million of the first nine  months of 2001  increase  was  related to fields that
were  acquired  within the last year,  including the  Thornwell,  Port Barre and
Iberia Fields  acquired in the fourth quarter of 2000,  West Mallalieu and Olive
Fields  acquired  in the  second  quarter  of 2001,  and the  Matrix  properties
acquired in early July.

     Production taxes increased  approximately $713,000 and $2.4 million between
the  third  quarters  of 2000 and 2001 and first  nine  months of 2000 and 2001,
respectively,  as a result  of  increased  production  and,  for the nine  month
periods,  higher  oil and  natural  gas  prices.  On a per BOE  basis,  however,
production  taxes declined 21% between the comparable  third quarter periods and
4% between the comparable  nine month periods as a result of the addition of the
Matrix  properties,  a portion  of which are tax  exempt  due to their  offshore
location. In addition,  lower commodity prices during the third quarter of 2001,
as compared to the third quarter in 2000,  further reduced  production taxes per

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


     Production  expenses were lowered by  approximately  $900,000 for the third
quarter of 2001 and $2.0  million  for the first nine months of 2001 as a result
of the CO2 acquisition in February 2001,  which lowered the cost of CO2 that the
Company uses in its tertiary recovery operations at Little Creek Field. Prior to
the acquisition,  the Company was paying  approximately $0.25 per thousand cubic
feet for its CO2.  Subsequent to the  acquisition,  the Company began allocating
the  operating  expenses  of its CO2 field  and  pipeline  between  the sales to
commercial  users and the CO2 used for its own account.  This translates into an
average  operating cost of  approximately  $0.06 for each thousand cubic feet of
CO2 produced during the first nine months of 2001. This resulted in a savings of
approximately  $0.19 per  thousand  cubic feet of CO2 used by the Company in its
tertiary recovery  operations.  The estimated total cost per thousand cubic feet
of  CO2  to  the  Company  is  approximately   $0.11,  after  inclusion  of  the
depreciation and amortization expense for the first nine months of 2001.

     CO2  OPERATIONS:  The Company's CO2  operations had net operating cash flow
from sales of CO2 to other third  parties of $1.1 million for the third  quarter
of 2001 and $3.0  million  for the first nine  months of 2001.  During the first
nine months of 2001, the Company used  approximately  50% of the CO2 produced in
its tertiary  recovery  operations and sold the remainder to other third parties
for industrial use.

                       General and Administrative Expenses

     General and  administrative  ("G&A") expenses  decreased on a per BOE basis
between the respective  quarters and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001
and 2000, but increased on a gross basis, all as set forth below:

     Gross G&A  expenses  increased  $2.7  million,  or 44%,  between  the third
quarters  of 2001 and 2000 and $5.7  million,  or 31%,  between  the first  nine
months  of 2001  and  2000.  The  largest  components  of these  increases  were
salaries,  bonus accruals, and other related employee costs, which accounted for
approximately  $2.1 million of the increase between the respective  quarters and
$3.9 million of the increase  between the  respective  nine month  periods.  The
increase in  employee  costs is due to salary  increases  and  employee  related
additions resulting from the Company's growth and the Matrix acquisition in July
2001.  The  increase  in gross G&A is offset in part by an  increase in operator

overhead  recovery  charges  and  capitalized  exploration  costs in  2001.  The
Company's well operating agreements allow the Company,  when it is the operator,
to charge a well with a specified  overhead  rate during the drilling  phase and
also charge a monthly fixed overhead rate for each  producing  well. As a result
of the additional  operated wells acquired in the Company's recent  acquisitions
and the new wells added as a result of increased  drilling  activity  during the
past year,  the amount  recovered  by the Company as operator  overhead  charges
increased by 61% between the third  quarters of 2000 and 2001 and by 41% between
the first nine months of 2000 and 2001. Capitalized  exploration costs increased
between the comparable periods in 2000 and 2001 along with the increase in gross
G&A  expenses.  The net effect of the increase in gross G&A  expenses,  operator
overhead charges and capitalized exploration costs was a 38% increase in net G&A
expense  between the third  quarters of 2000 and 2001 and a 26%  increase in net
G&A expense between the first nine months of 2000 and 2001.

     On a BOE basis,  G&A costs  decreased  19% in the third  quarter of 2001 as
compared to the third quarter of 2000 and by 17% for the  comparable  nine month
periods,  due to a higher  percentage  increase  in  production  than in net G&A
expense.

     Interest expense for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30,
2001  increased  from the  comparable  prior year periods  primarily  due to (i)
higher  average  outstanding  debt  balances  during 2001  following the CO2 and
Matrix acquisitions in February 2001 and July 2001,  respectively,  and (ii) the
August 2001 issuance of $75 million Series B Senior  Subordinated Notes due 2008
which carries a higher interest rate than bank debt, offset in part by decreases
throughout the year in interest rates on the Company's  variable rate bank debt.
During the first nine months of 2001 the Company  borrowed $126.0 million on its
bank credit facility to partially fund the Matrix  Acquisition  ($95.0 million),
the CO2 Acquisition ($21.0 million) and to fund a portion ($10.0 million) of the
$18.0  million  purchase  price of the price floors  associated  with the Matrix
Acquisition.  The Company  repaid $13.1  million of its bank  borrowings  in the
first  quarter of 2001 with  excess cash flow  generated  from  operations,  and
repaid $66.0  million in August 2001 with the net proceeds  from the issuance of
Series B 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008, which closed on August 15, 2001.
These notes were  issued at a discount  with an  estimated  yield to maturity of
10-7/8%.

     During the first nine  months of 2000,  the  Company's  bank debt  remained
constant at $27.5  million for most of the period until late June when it repaid
$4.0  million  of bank debt and then paid down an  additional  $2.5  million  in
September 2000. The Company's $125 million of 9% Senior  Subordinated  Notes Due
2008  were  outstanding  during  both 2000 and 2001.  On a BOE  basis,  net cash
interest  expense  increased by 32% between the third  quarters of 2000 and 2001
and  increased  by 13% between  the first nine  months of 2000 and 2001,  as the
increased  cost was  partially  offset by the  significantly  higher  production
rates.

months of 2000 (and an  annual  average  for 2000 of $4.62) to $5.15 per BOE for
the first quarter of 2001.  After  preparation  of the  Company's  June 30, 2001
reserve report and the reserve increases  included therein,  the Company lowered
its DD&A rate for the second quarter of 2001 to $4.98 per BOE. In July 2001, the
Company acquired Matrix Oil & Gas, Inc. and as a result,  the third quarter 2001
DD&A rate increased to $7.03 per BOE ($5.84 per BOE for the first nine months of
2001).

     The  Company's tax provision for the third quarter and first nine months of
2001 was based on an estimated  effective tax rate of 37%. For the third quarter
and first nine months of 2000, the Company  recorded only its estimated  current
alternative  minimum tax as the Company's  deferred tax asset was fully reserved
and any  deferred  tax  provision  resulted  in a  corresponding  offset  to the
valuation  allowance.  In the fourth  quarter of 2000,  the  Company  completely
reversed  the  valuation  allowance  on its  deferred  tax  assets  based on its
projections  regarding taxable income and projected  utilization of its deferred
tax assets. As a result, for 2001 the Company is recording a full tax provision.
The Company recorded a credit to its estimated  current tax expense in the third
quarter of 2001, as the Company's  estimate for 2001 current taxes had decreased
from prior estimates due to the decline in commodity prices during the year.

                              Results of Operations

     Primarily as a result of (i) the increased  production in the third quarter
and first nine  months of 2001,  (ii) higher  prices in 2001 for the  comparable
nine month periods but lower prices for the comparable third quarters, and (iii)
the  recording of a full tax  provision in 2001 but not in 2000,  net income and
cash flow from operations were affected as follows on both a gross and per share
basis:

                             Market Risk Management

     The Company uses fixed and variable rate debt to partially finance budgeted
expenditures.  These debt instruments  expose the Company to market risk related
to changes in  interest  rates.  The Company  does not hold or issue  derivative
financial instruments for trading purposes. The carrying and fair value of these
debt instruments have not changed materially since year-end.

                             DENBURY RESOURCES INC.

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


     The Company enters into various  financial  contracts to hedge its exposure
to commodity price risk associated with  anticipated  future oil and natural gas
production.  These hedge contracts are purchased to either protect the Company's
budget  or to  protect  a rate  of  return  on  acquisitions.  All of the  hedge
contracts  acquired  for 2001 and beyond  have been in the form of price  floors
which  provide the  Company  protection  if oil and natural gas prices  decrease
below the floor contract prices,  but do not limit the upside if oil and natural
gas prices remain or increase above the floor prices.

Budget-related price floors

     In 2000, the Company  acquired  floors on 2001  production  consisting of a
$22.00  floor on  12,800  Bbls/d  and a $2.80  floor on  37,500  MMBtu/d  for an
aggregate cost of $2.6 million,  which together cover  approximately  75% of the
Company's anticipated production,  excluding the anticipated production from the
acquisitions  made in the fourth  quarter  of 2000 and the  Matrix  acquisition.
During July 2001, the Company  acquired a $21.00 floor on 10,000 Bbls/d for 2002
production at an aggregate cost of approximately $4.7 million.  This price floor
covers approximately 50% of the anticipated oil production for 2002.

Acquisition-related price floors

     For the  properties  acquired  in the fourth  quarter of 2000,  the Company
purchased  puts or  floors  at the time of  acquisition  for  nearly  all of the
anticipated  proven  natural gas production  from these  properties for 2001 and
2002.  These  floors  were  purchased  at a total cost of $2.5  million and have
varying  volume and price floors each quarter for 2001 and 2002.  For the Matrix
properties  acquired  in July 2001 (see also  "2001  Acquisitions"  above),  the
Company has protected its investment  with the purchase of price floors covering
nearly all of the  forecasted  proven natural gas  production  through  December
2003,  with a minimum  price of $4.25 per MMBtu for July 2001  through  December
2002 and  $3.75 per MMBtu  for all of 2003.  The  Company  paid a total of $18.0
million for these price floors.

     The  following  table  lists  all of the  individual  floors in place as of
September 30, 2001.

                            DENBURY RESOURCES INC.

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


     Matrix's  assets  acquired  in the July 2001  Matrix  Acquisition  included
delivery  contracts  with the various  natural gas purchasers  containing  fixed
prices and no-cost collars. The Company acquired delivery contracts with no-cost
collars  that are still in place and that  cover a total of 6.0  MMcf/d  through
December  31,  2001.  These  collars have a weighted  average  ceiling  price of
approximately   $4.82  per  MMBtu  and  a  weighted   average   floor  price  of
approximately $6.66 per MMBtu.

     On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"),  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and
Hedging Activities." This statement requires that every derivative instrument be
recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair
value.  The  change  in the fair  value  of the  derivative  contracts  is to be
recognized  either  currently  in  earnings  or  comprehensive  income  (equity)
depending on whether specific hedge criteria are met. Upon adoption, the Company
recorded a $1.6 million  increase in assets for the fair value of the  Company's
floors  in place,  with a  corresponding  increase  to  comprehensive  income of
approximately  $1.0  million,  after tax, for the  transition  adjustment  as of
January 1, 2001.

     At September 30, 2001, the fair value of the Company's derivative contracts
was approximately $50.5 million, an increase of approximately $13.1 million over
their fair value at June 30, 2001,  due  primarily to reduced  prices of natural
gas futures during the quarter and additional floors purchased for approximately
$4.7  million  during the third  quarter.  This  increase in fair value,  net of
related income taxes,  resulted in an increase to other comprehensive  income of
approximately  $8.3 million in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 133.
Approximately   $12.9  million  of  the  $18.0  million  in  accumulated   other
comprehensive  income as of September  30, 2001  relates to contracts  that will
expire  within  the next  twelve  months and will be  reclassified  out of other
comprehensive income. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2001 the
Company also reclassified approximately $78,000 and $934,000,  respectively, out
of other comprehensive  income and into derivative  contracts fair value loss in
the condensed  consolidated  statements of operations relating to the adjustment
made at January 1, 2001 as part of the  adoption of SFAS No.  133. In  addition,
the Company  expensed  approximately  $2.1 million and $3.2  million  during the
three and nine months ended  September 30, 2001 relating to the  amortization of
the cost of the price floors.

     During the third  quarter of 2001,  the Company  began  reporting  its cash
receipts  from its hedges as a separate  line item on the income  statement,  as
gain (loss) on  settlements of derivative  contracts,  and included such gain or
loss as an  adjustment  to its  reported  oil and  natural  gas unit  prices,  a
methodology  that is more  consistent  with the manner  that  hedging  gains and
losses were reported in prior years. During the three months ended September 30,
2001,  the Company  received a total of $7.2 million in cash  payments  from its
natural gas price  floors,  resulting in an increase of our natural gas price of
$0.72 per Mcf.  During the nine months ended  September  30,  2001,  the Company
received a total of $7.8  million in cash  payments  from its  natural gas price
floors, resulting in an increase of our natural gas price of $0.36 per Mcf.

     During the first nine months of 2000, the Company had zero-cost  collars in
place that hedged  3,000 Bbls/d with a price floor of $14.00 per Bbl and a price
ceiling  of $18.05 per Bbl and a natural  gas  contract  that  hedged 24 million
cubic  feet of natural  gas per day with a price  floor of $1.90 per MMBtu and a
price ceiling of $2.58 per MMBtu.  In the third quarter of 2000 the Company paid
approximately  $3.7 million on its oil hedge  contract,  and $3.8 million on the
natural gas hedge contract,  reducing its average oil price by $2.63 per Bbl and
its  average  net  natural  gas price by $1.34 per Mcf.  Through  the first nine
months of 2000,  the Company  paid  approximately  $9.5 million on the oil hedge
contract  and $5.7  million on the  natural  gas hedge  contract,  reducing  its
average  oil price by $2.34 per Bbl and its  average  net  natural  gas price by
$0.70 per Mcf.

                             DENBURY RESOURCES INC.

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

     Based on futures  market  prices at September  30, 2001,  the Company would
expect to receive approximately $39.4 million on its natural gas floor contracts
through their  expiration  dates at the end of 2003 and nothing on its oil floor
contracts.  If the natural gas futures market prices were to decline by 10%, the
amount  expected to be received under the Company's  natural gas floor contracts
would increase to approximately $50.5 million, and if natural gas futures market
prices  were to increase by 10%,  the amount  expected to be received  under the
Company's  natural gas floor  contracts  would decrease to  approximately  $28.7
million.  If crude oil prices were to decrease by 10%, the Company  would expect
to receive  approximately  $1.3 million on its oil floor contracts through their
expiration dates at the end of 2002.
