INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The results of operations for the interim  periods shown in this report are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. In the
opinion of management of Denbury  Resources  Inc. (the  "Company" or "Denbury"),
the  accompanying   unaudited  financial   statements  contain  all  adjustments
(consisting  of normal  recurring  accruals)  necessary  to  present  fairly the
consolidated  financial  position  of the Company as of June 30,  1997,  and the
results of its  operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 and its cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

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

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

     Net income per common  share is computed by dividing  the net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock  outstanding,  after adjusting
for the  one-for-two  reverse split effective on October 10, 1996. In accordance
with Canadian generally accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP"),  the imputed
dividend  during  1996 on the  Convertible  First  Preferred  Shares,  Series  A
("Convertible  Preferred")  has been  recorded  as an  operating  expense in the
accompanying  financial  statements  and thus is  deducted  from net  income  in
computing  earnings  per common  share.  The stock  options  and  warrants  were
included in the calculation of fully-diluted  earnings per share. The conversion
of the Convertible  Preferred and the convertible debt were either anti-dilutive
or immaterial and were not included in the calculation of earnings per share for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996. All of the  Convertible  Preferred
and the convertible  debt were converted into common shares during 1996 and thus
were not relevant to the calculation of earnings per share during 1997.

BANK CREDIT AGREEMENT

     In April,  1997, the Company amended its bank credit facility (i) to extend
the revolver by one year to May 31, 1999, (ii) to extend the termination date by
one year to May 31, 2002, and (iii) to reduce the commitment fee percentages. As
of June 30, 1997,  the Company had $100,000  outstanding  on this line of credit
with a borrowing base of $60 million.

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

     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
Canadian GAAP. The primary  difference  between Canadian and U.S. GAAP affecting
the Company's 1997 financial statements result from the different  methodologies
for  computing  earnings  per common  share.  Under U.S.  GAAP,  the primary and
fully-diluted  earnings  per common share for the first six months of 1997 would
be $0.35,  as compared to the $0.37 and $0.35,  respectively,  as reported under
Canadian  GAAP.  For the three  months  ended June 30,  1997,  the  primary  and
fully-diluted  earnings  per common  share  under U.S.  GAAP would be $0.10,  as
compared to the $0.11,  as reported  under Canadian GAAP. The earnings per share
would be the same under both U.S. and Canadian GAAP for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996.

     In February 1997 the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 Earnings Per Share, ("SFAS 128"). SFAS
128 simplifies the standards for computing  earnings per share ("EPS") and makes
them more  comparable  to  international  EPS  standards.  SFAS 128 replaces the
presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common  shareholders by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
EPS reflects the  potential  dilution  that could occur if  securities  or other
contracts to issue common stock were  exercised,  converted into common stock or
resulted in the  issuance of common  shares that then shared in the  earnings of
the entity.  Diluted EPS is computed  similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to
Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 15. SFAS 128 is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,  including interim
periods.  Earlier application is not permitted.  Basic EPS for the three and six
months  ended June 30,  1997 of 1997 under SFAS 128 would be $0.11 and $0.37 per
common share  respectively.  SFAS 128 does not affect the computation of EPS for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.

     During the first half of 1996, the Company expensed  $440,000 of debt issue
cost  relating to the  Company's  prior bank credit  agreement  with ING Capital
Corporation  and  $759,000  relating  to the imputed  preferred  dividend on the
Convertible  Preferred.  Under U.S. GAAP, a loss on early extinguishment of debt
is reported as an extraordinary item rather than as an operating expense and the
preferred  dividend is reported as a deduction  from net income to arrive at the
net income  attributable to the common  shareholders  rather than deducted as an
operating  expense.  While net  income per common  share and all  balance  sheet
accounts are not  affected by this  difference  in GAAP,  the net income for the
first half of 1996 under U.S. GAAP would be $3,354,000 while under Canadian GAAP
the amount  reported was  $2,595,000.  For the three months ended June 30, 1996,
net income under U.S.  GAAP would be  $1,599,000  while under  Canadian GAAP the
amount  reported was $1,215,000.  Since the Convertible  Preferred was converted
into Common Shares on October 30, 1996,  this  difference in GAAP did not affect
the comparable 1997 financial results.

4. COMMITMENTS

     On August 6, 1997, the Company entered into a ten year office lease for its
corporate  headquarters  which is expected to commence on November 1, 1998.  The
estimated  minimum annual rental  payments for the first five years of the lease
are  projected  to be  $1.15  million  per year and the  minimum  annual  rental
payments  during the remaining five years of the lease are projected to be $1.25
million per year.

                             DENBURY RESOURCES INC.

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


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

                         Capital Resources and Liquidity

     During the first half of 1997, the Company made total capital  expenditures
of $36.1 million, which was primarily funded by the cash generated by operations
($26.9  million)  and its  available  cash.  The  Company has  budgeted  capital
expenditures  for 1997 of between $60 and $70 million.  Although  the  Company's
projected  cash  flow is highly  variable  and  difficult  to  predict  as it is
dependent  on  product  prices,  drilling  success,  and  other  factors,  these
projected  expenditures  are expected to exceed the  Company's  cash flow during
1997. However, as of June 30, 1997, the Company had available working capital of
$3.9 million as well as a virtually  unused  borrowing  base of $60.0 million to
fund any potential cash flow deficits. If external capital resources are limited
or reduced in the future,  the  Company can also adjust its capital  expenditure
program accordingly.  However,  such adjustments could limit, or even eliminate,
the Company's future growth.

     In addition to its internal capital  expenditure  program,  the Company has
historically required capital for the acquisition of producing properties, which
have been a major factor in the  Company's  rapid growth  during  recent  years.
During  1996,  the  Company  spent   approximately  $48.2  million  on  property
acquisitions,  while only $3.5  million was spent during the first six months of
1997.  As of August 8, 1997,  the Company had  committed  to an  additional  $12
million of acquisitions  which had either closed or are expected to close during
the third quarter.  These additional  acquisitions will be financed primarily by
bank debt. There can be no assurance that additional suitable  acquisitions will
be identified in the future or that any such  acquisitions will be successful in
achieving desired profitability objectives. Without suitable acquisitions or the
capital to fund such acquisitions,  the Company's future growth could be limited
or even eliminated.

                            Sources and Uses of Funds

     During  the first  half of 1997,  the  Company  spent  approximately  $32.6
million on oil and natural gas  exploration  and  development  expenditures  and
approximately  $3.5 million on  acquisitions.  The  exploration  and development
expenditures  included  approximately  $18.5  million  spent on  drilling,  $4.3
million on geological,  geophysical and acreage  expenditures and the balance of
$9.8  million was spent on workover  costs.  These  expenditures  were funded by
available cash and cash flow from operations.

     During  the first  half of 1996,  the  Company  spent  approximately  $60.7
million of which  approximately  $48.2  million was spent on  acquisitions.  The
acquisition  expenditures  included  approximately  $37.2  million for producing
properties  acquired  from Amerada Hess  Corporation  (the "Hess  Acquisition"),
approximately $7.5 million for properties acquired from Ottawa Energy, Inc. plus
four other minor acquisitions.  These expenditures were funded primarily by bank
debt, plus the Company's available cash and cash flow from operations.

     Production  increases  have been  fueled by both  internal  growth from the
Company's  development  and  exploration  programs and from the  acquisition  of
producing properties during 1996, particularly the Hess Acquisition.  During May
and June,  1996, the first two months of ownership,  the properties  included in
the Hess Acquisition averaged approximately 2,945 BOE per day ("BOE/d").  During
the first and second quarters of 1997, the production from these same properties
averaged  approximately 4,385 BOE/d and 4,613 BOE/d respectively,  a 49% and 57%
increase respectively from initial production levels. Total corporate production
on a BOE/d basis increased 21% from the fourth quarter of 1996 average of 10,132
to the first  quarter  of 1997  average  of  12,256  BOE/d,  plus an  additional
increase of 9% to 13,405 BOE/d for the second quarter of 1997.  These  increases
were almost solely as a result of internal development,  as the Company had only
$3.5 million of acquisitions during the first half of 1997.

     Oil and gas revenue has increased  primarily  because of the large increase
in production.  Between the second quarters of 1996 and 1997, oil product prices
decreased 6% and natural gas product prices declined by 8% partially  offsetting
the revenue gains from the improved  production  levels.  When comparing the two
six month  periods of 1996 and 1997,  oil product  prices  increased by 5% while
natural  gas product  prices  declined  7%.  Since the 1997  production  is more
heavily  weighted  toward oil than gas when  compared  to 1996,  prices on a BOE
basis improved slightly (1%) between these two periods. During the first half of
1996, approximately 44% of the Company's production on a BOE basis was oil while
during the first half of 1997,  approximately 57% of the Company's production on
a BOE basis was oil.

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

     Production  expenses on an absolute  basis  increased  between the relative
periods of 1996 and 1997 along with the increases in production. On a BOE basis,
production  expenses  decreased  7%  from  the  second  quarter  of  1996 to the
comparable  period in 1997 and were almost  identical  when  comparing the first
half of 1996 to the  first  half of  1997.  This  improvement  was a  result  of
efficiencies  achieved from higher production volumes despite the Company having
a higher  percentage  of oil  production  in 1997 as  compared  to  1996,  which
typically has a higher operating cost per BOE.

     General and  administrative  ("G&A")  expenses  have  increased as outlined

     On a BOE basis,  these G&A costs were almost  identical  when comparing the
first half of 1996 to the comparable  period in 1997.  When comparing the second
quarter of 1996 to the second quarter of 1997, G&A costs  increased 14% on a BOE
basis. This increase was primarily due to fees and expenses  associated with the
move to the New York Stock Exchange from NASDAQ in May, 1997.

                             DENBURY RESOURCES INC.

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

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

     The private  placement  of equity in December  1995 with TPG  included  1.5
million  shares of  Convertible  Preferred.  During the first half of 1996,  the
Company  recognized  $759,000  of charges  representing  the  imputed  preferred
dividend on these  shares.  On October 30, 1996 the  Convertible  Preferred  was
converted into 2.8 million Common Shares. Under Canadian GAAP, this dividend was
reported as an  operating  expense,  while under U.S.  GAAP this would not be an
expense  but it would be  deducted  from net  income  to  arrive  at net  income
attributable to the common shareholders. In addition to paying off its bank debt
and  converting the  Convertible  Preferred into common equity during the fourth
quarter of 1996, the Company also converted its remaining subordinated debt into
common equity, leaving the Company essentially debt-free as of December 31, 1996
and June 30,1997.

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

                  Depletion, Depreciation and Site Restoration

     Depletion,  depreciation and amortization ("DD&A") has increased along with
the additional capitalized cost and increased production.  The Company increased
the DD&A rate per BOE for the first half of 1997 to $6.50 per BOE to provide for
the estimated effect of reduced oil prices on reserve quantities,  the estimated
effect of rising  drilling costs on certain proved  undeveloped  locations,  and
higher than  anticipated  costs on wells  drilled in Louisiana  that were proved
undeveloped  locations at December 31, 1996. The oil prices used in the December
31, 1996 reserve report were based on a West Texas Intermediate  ("WTI") posting
price of  $23.39  per bbl while the  comparable  WTI price at June 30,  1997 was
$17.15 per bbl. This reduction in oil prices reduced the June 30, 1997 estimated
reserves by approximately  1.3 million  barrels.  The revised DD&A rate of $6.50
per BOE was applied to the entire six month period with the difference booked in
the second quarter,  causing the second quarter rate to be $6.95 per BOE. During
the first quarter of 1997,  the Company's  DD&A rate was $5.99 per BOE (the DD&A
rate for the year ended December 31, 1996).

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

                                  Income Taxes

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

     Primarily  as a result of  increased  production,  net income and cash flow
from  operations  increased  substantially  on both a gross and per share  basis
between  the first  half of 1996 and the first half of 1997 as  outlined  below.
However,  net income on a per share basis was the same for the second quarter of
1996 and the  second  quarter  of 1997  even  though  production  and cash  flow
increased,  primarily  as a  result  of the  adjustments  to the  DD&A  rate  as
previously discussed and the significant increase in the number of common shares
outstanding since June 30, 1996.

                     New U.S. GAAP Accounting Pronouncement

     In February 1997 the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 Earnings Per Share, ("SFAS 128"). SFAS
128 simplifies the standards for computing  earnings per share ("EPS") and makes
them more  comparable  to  international  EPS  standards.  SFAS 128 replaces the
presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common  shareholders by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
EPS reflects the  potential  dilution  that could occur if  securities  or other
contracts to issue common stock were  exercised,  converted into common stock or
resulted in the  issuance of common  shares that then shared in the  earnings of
the entity.  Diluted EPS is computed  similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to
Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 15. SFAS 128 is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,  including interim
periods.  Earlier application is not permitted.  Basic EPS for the three and six
months  ended June 30,  1997 of 1997 under SFAS 128 would be $0.11 and $0.37 per
common share  respectively.  SFAS 128 does not affect the computation of EPS for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.
