Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Organization and Nature of Operations
We are a growing independent oil and natural gas company. We are the largest oil and natural
gas producer 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
Rocky Mountain and Gulf Coast regions. Our goal is to increase the value of acquired properties
through a combination of exploitation, drilling and proven engineering extraction practices, with
our most significant emphasis on our CO2 tertiary recovery operations.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Denbury Resources
Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial
statements. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Unless indicated otherwise or
the context requires, the terms we, our, us, or Denbury, refer to Denbury Resources Inc.
and its subsidiaries.
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 managements opinion, the
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a
normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position as of
March 31, 2011, our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011
and 2010, and our consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Certain prior period items have been reclassified to make the classification consistent with the
classification in the most recent quarter.
Noncontrolling Interest
From March 9, 2010 through December 31, 2010, we owned approximately 46% of Encore Energy
Partners LP (ENP) outstanding common units and 100% of Encore Energy Partners GP LLC (GP LLC),
which was ENPs general partner. Considering the presumption of control of GP LLC in accordance
with the Consolidation topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (FASC), the
results of operations and cash flows of ENP were consolidated with those of Denbury for this
period. On December 31, 2010 we sold all of our ownership interests in ENP and, therefore, we have
not consolidated ENP in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31,
2010, nor do our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations or Cash Flows for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 include ENPs results of operations or cash flows. As presented
in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March
31, 2010, Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $3.3 million represents ENPs
results of operations attributable to third-party ENP limited partner interest owners, other than
Denbury, for the portion of that period for which we consolidated ENP.
Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to our
stockholders 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 of the potential dilution from stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs),
unvested restricted stock, and unvested performance equity awards. For the three months ended March
31, 2011 and 2010, there were no adjustments to net income attributable to our
stockholders 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 periods indicated:

vest, they will be included in the shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income 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 deemed proceeds equal to the average
unrecognized compensation during the period, adjusted for any estimated future tax consequences
recognized directly in equity.
The following securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future, but were
excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as their effect would have been
anti-dilutive:

Short-term Investments
Short-term investments are available-for-sale securities recorded at fair value with any
unrealized gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income. At March 31, 2011
and December 31, 2010, short-term investments consisted entirely of our investment in Vanguard
Natural Resources LLC (Vanguard) common units obtained as partial consideration for the sale of
our interests in ENP to a subsidiary of Vanguard on December 31, 2010. The cost basis of this
investment is $93.0 million, and under the terms of the sale agreement with Vanguard we are
restricted from divesting these Vanguard common units until July 31, 2011. In the first quarter of
2011 we received distributions of $1.8 million on the Vanguard common units we own which
distributions are included in Interest income and other income on our Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The unrealized
gain on our short-term investment of $4.2 million, net of taxes of $2.6 million, is included in our
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2011.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements that became effective during the
three months ended March 31, 2011, and have determined that none would have a material impact to
our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
2010 Merger with Encore Acquisition Company
On March 9, 2010, we acquired Encore Acquisition Company (Encore) pursuant to 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 $4.8 billion at the acquisition date,
including the assumption of debt and the value of the noncontrolling
interest in ENP (the Encore Merger). Under the
Encore Merger Agreement, Encore was merged with and into Denbury, with Denbury surviving the Encore
Merger.

Table of Contents
DENBURY RESOURCES INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the period from the March 9, 2010 Encore acquisition date to March 31, 2010, we recognized
$59.7 million and $43.9 million of oil, natural gas and related product sales and field operating
income (oil, natural gas and related product sales less lease operating expenses and production
taxes and marketing expenses), respectively, related to the Encore Merger. We recognized a total
of $2.4 million and $45.0 million of transaction and other costs related to the Encore Merger
(primarily advisory, legal, accounting, due diligence, integration, and severance costs) for the
three months ended March 31, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
2010 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 the LaBarge Field of southwestern Wyoming, for $132.3 million
after preliminary closing adjustments. Riley Ridge contains natural gas resources, as well as
helium and CO2 resources. The purchase includes a working interest in a gas plant, which
is currently under construction, which will separate the helium and natural gas from the commingled
gas stream. The acquisition also includes approximately 33% of the CO2 mineral rights in
an additional 28,000 acres adjoining the Riley Ridge Unit. We own a non-operating interest in
those 28,000 acres.
The acquisition of Riley Ridge meets the definition of a business under the FASC Business
Combinations topic. The purchase price allocation for the acquisition of interests in Riley Ridge
Field is preliminary and subject to revision pending finalization of closing adjustments. The
following table presents a summary of the preliminary fair value of assets acquired:

2010 Sale of Interests in Genesis
In February 2010, we sold our interest in Genesis Energy, LLC, the general partner of Genesis
Energy, L.P. (Genesis), for net proceeds of approximately $84 million. In March 2010, we sold
all of our Genesis common units in a secondary public offering for net proceeds of approximately
$79 million. We recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $101.5 million ($63.0 million after tax)
on these dispositions.

Bank Credit Agreement
On March 9, 2010, we entered into a $1.6 billion revolving credit agreement with JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and 23 other lenders as party thereto (the Bank Credit
Agreement) with a maturity date of March 2014. Availability under the Bank Credit Agreement is
subject to a borrowing base (currently $1.6 billion) which is re-determined semi-annually on or
prior to May 1 and November 1 and upon requested special redeterminations. We expect our
semi-annual redetermination to be finalized in mid-May 2011. We currently do not anticipate any
reduction in our borrowing base as a result of this redetermination.
The borrowing base is adjusted at the banks discretion and is based in part upon external
factors over which we have no control. If the borrowing base were to be less than outstanding
borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement, we would be required to repay the deficit over a period
of four months. We incur a commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the credit facility or
if less, the borrowing base. Loans under the Bank Credit Agreement mature in March 2014. We had no
borrowings outstanding on the Bank Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2011.
63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021
In February 2011, we issued $400 million of 63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021 (2021
Notes). The
2021 Notes, which carry a coupon rate of 6.375%, were sold at par. The net proceeds of
approximately $393 million were used to repurchase a portion of our outstanding 2013 Notes and 2015
Notes (see Redemption of our 2013 and 2015 Notes below).

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The 2021 Notes mature on August 15, 2021, and interest is payable on February 15 and August 15
of each year, beginning August 15, 2011. We may redeem the 2021 Notes in whole or in part at our
option beginning August 15, 2016, at the following redemption prices: 103.188% after August 15,
2016; 102.125% after August 15, 2017; 101.062% after August 15, 2018; and 100% after August 15,
2019. Prior to August 15, 2014, we may, at our option, redeem up to an aggregate of 35% of the
principal amount of the 2021 Notes at a price of 106.375% with the proceeds of certain equity
offerings. In addition, at any time prior to August 15, 2016, we may redeem 100% of the principal
amount of the 2021 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 our ability
to incur additional debt, pay dividends on our common stock, make investments, create liens on our
assets, engage in transactions with our affiliates, transfer or sell assets, consolidate or merge,
or sell substantially all of our assets. The 2021 Notes are not subject to any sinking fund
requirements. All of our subsidiaries, other than minor subsidiaries, fully and unconditionally
guarantee this debt jointly and severally.
Redemption of our 2013 and 2015 Notes
On February 3, 2011, we commenced cash tender offers to purchase $225 million principal amount
of our 2013 Notes and $300 million principal amount of our 2015 Notes. By March 3, 2011, upon
expiration of the tender offers, we accepted for purchase $169.6 million in principal of the 2013
Notes at 100.625% of par, and $220.9 million in principal of the 2015 Notes for 104.125% of par.
We called the remaining 2013 and 2015 Notes, repurchasing all of the remaining outstanding 2015
Notes ($79.1 million) at 103.75% of par on March 21, 2011 and repurchasing all of the remaining
outstanding 2013 Notes ($55.4 million) at par on April 1, 2011. During the first quarter of 2011,
we recognized a $15.8 million loss associated with the first quarter of 2011 debt repurchases,
which is included in our income statement under the caption Loss on early extinguishment of debt.
Note 4. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Oil and Natural Gas Derivative Contracts
We do not apply hedge accounting treatment to our 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 shown under Derivatives expense (income) in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Operations.
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. We currently employ a strategy to hedge a
portion of our forecasted production for a period generally ranging from approximately 12 to 18
months in advance, 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.
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 Bank Credit
Agreement.

Note 5. 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). We utilize 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. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and
endeavor to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques
that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We are 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. |
||
| 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. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded oil and natural
gas derivatives that are based on NYMEX pricing. |
||
| 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 managements best estimate of fair value. Instruments in this category
include non-exchange-traded natural gas derivatives swaps that are based on regional
pricing other than NYMEX (i.e., Houston Ship Channel). |

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
We adjust the valuations from the valuation model for nonperformance risk, using our estimate
of the counterpartys credit quality for asset positions and Denburys credit quality for liability
positions. Denbury uses multiple sources of third-party credit data in determining counterparty
nonperformance risk, including credit default swaps.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
In March 2011, we entered into three long-term supply contracts to purchase CO2
from future anthropogenic sources in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. Denbury will
purchase 100% of the CO2 captured from the DKRW Advanced Fuels LLCs Medicine Bow Fuel
and Power LLC (MBFP) project in Medicine Bow, Wyoming, purchase 70% of the CO2
captured from Mississippi Power Companys Kemper County Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle
(IGCC) project in Mississippi, and purchase 100% of the CO2 captured from an
undisclosed source in the Gulf Coast region. These contracts each have an initial term of 15 to 16
years and include options to extend the term. We estimate that these sources will supply
approximately 365 MMcf/d of CO2 for our enhanced oil recovery operations, although under
certain circumstances, we may be obligated to purchase up to 460 MMcf/d, a portion of which would
be at a reduced price per Mcf. We expect to begin taking delivery of approximately 200 MMCF/d of
CO2
from the MBFP project in late 2014 or early 2015, 115 MMcf/d of CO2 from the IGCC project by
2014 and 50 MMcf/d of CO2 from a
Gulf Coast region source in late 2012. Our aggregate maximum purchase obligation for CO2 purchased under these three
contracts would be approximately $110 million per year (assuming purchases of 460 MMcf/d), plus
transportation, assuming a $100 per barrel NYMEX oil price. The purchase price of CO2 will
fluctuate based on the changes in the price of oil. These CO2 purchase agreements are
contingent on completion or modification of the respective plants by their operators.
In the third 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. As a result of the approved change in method of tax
accounting, beginning with the 2007 tax year we began to deduct, rather than capitalize, such costs
for tax purposes, and applied for tax refunds associated with such change for our 2004 and 2006 tax
years. Notwithstanding its consent to our change in tax accounting in
2008, the IRS subsequently
exercised its prerogative to challenge the tax accounting method we used. In late January 2011, we
received a Technical Advice Memorandum (TAM) issued by the IRS National Office disapproving our
method of accounting and revoking its consent to our change, on a prospective basis only,
commencing January 1, 2011. As a result of the prospective nature of the IRSs determination, there
should be no change in our position with respect to the deductibility of these costs for 2007,
2008, 2009 and 2010. However, refund claims of $10.6 million for tax years through 2006 are pending
and are subject to review by the Joint Committee on Taxation of the U.S. Congress. We are unable to
assess the outcome of any such review, nor how that outcome may affect the other years covered by
the TAM.
We are subject to audits for sales and use taxes and severance taxes in the various states in
which we operate, and from time to time receive assessments for potential taxes that we may owe.
We have received a $15.0 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 we are appealing the 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, 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.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 8. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
Denburys subordinated debt is fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by
certain of its subsidiaries, except that with respect to
Denburys $55 million of 7½% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2013 that remained outstanding at March 31,
2011, Denbury Resources Inc. and Denbury Onshore, LLC were co-obligors at
March 31, 2011. These 7½% Notes have since been redeemed and are no longer outstanding. Except
as noted in the first sentence of this paragraph, Denbury
Resources Inc. is the sole issuer and Denbury Onshore, LLC is a subsidiary guarantor. In the case
of the 6¼% Notes, the 6% Notes, the 7¼% Notes and the 9½% Notes previously issued by Encore,
Denbury is the sole issuer by virtue of the fact that it is the successor in interest to Encore
with respect to all such notes. Each subsidiary guarantor and the subsidiary that was a co-obligor
are wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by Denbury Resources Inc.
All intercompany investments in, loans due to/from, subsidiary equity, revenues, and expenses
between Denbury Resources Inc., Denbury Onshore, LLC, guarantor subsidiaries, and non-guarantor
subsidiaries are shown prior to consolidation with Denbury Resources Inc. and then eliminated to
arrive at consolidated totals per the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

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, 2010, along with Managements 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 producer in both Mississippi and Montana, own the largest CO2 reserves used for
tertiary oil recovery east of the Mississippi River, and hold significant operating acreage in the
Rocky Mountain and Gulf Coast regions. Our goal is to increase the value of acquired properties
through a combination of exploitation, drilling and proven engineering extraction practices, with
the most significant emphasis on our CO2 tertiary recovery operations.
Operating Highlights. The acquisition of Encore Acquisition Company (the Encore
Merger) on March 9, 2010, has had a significant impact on nearly every aspect of our business,
including oil and natural gas production, revenues and operating expenses. Accordingly, the Encore
Merger impacts the comparability of our first quarter 2010 financial results to those in the first
quarter of 2011, which is more fully discussed throughout the following discussion and analysis.
Our first quarter 2010 financial results include the results of operations for Encore from the date
of the acquisition on March 9, 2010 through March 31, 2010. Additionally, throughout 2010 we
disposed of non-strategic Encore properties and our ownership interests in Encore Energy Partners
LP (ENP).
We recognized a net loss of $14.2 million, or $0.04 per basic common share, during the first
quarter of 2011 as compared to net income of $96.9 million, or $0.33 per basic common share, during
the first quarter of 2010. This decrease between the two periods is primarily attributable to (1)
non-cash fair value losses for our commodity derivatives of $172.3 million in the first quarter of
2011 compared to gains of $100.8 million in 2010, resulting in a $273.1 million negative change
between the comparable quarters ($169.3 million after tax), (2) a $101.6 million gain on the sale
of Genesis in the first quarter of 2010 ($63.0 million after tax), and (3) a $15.8 million loss in
the first quarter of 2011 associated with repurchases of senior subordinated notes ($9.8 million
after tax). Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in oil and gas revenues of $175.3
million due to increased volumes attributable to a full quarter of production from the properties
retained from the Encore Merger (versus 22 days of production in the first quarter of 2010),
increased tertiary production, and higher oil prices. In-line with higher production
volumes, our operating expenses increased across the board. Interest expense also increased
significantly due to our additional debt incurred in conjunction with the Encore Merger.
During the first quarter of 2011, our oil and natural gas production averaged 63,604
BOE/d compared to 53,125 BOE/d produced during the first quarter of 2010. This 10,479 BOE/d of
additional production is primarily attributable to (1) incremental average production of 14,400
BOE/d from Rocky Mountain region properties acquired in the Encore Merger, and (2) increased
tertiary production between the two quarters, offset by (3) a decrease of 6,750 BOE/d due to the
sales of non-strategic Encore assets and our interests in ENP after the first quarter of 2010. See
Results of Operations Operating Results Production for more information.
Tertiary oil production averaged 30,825 Bbls/d during the first quarter of 2011, representing
a 14% increase over our average tertiary oil production of 27,023 Bbls/d during the first quarter
of 2010. However, tertiary oil production was down slightly from the 31,139 Bbls/d produced during
the fourth quarter of 2010. See Results of Operations CO2 Operations for more
information.
Oil prices during the first quarter of 2011 were considerably higher than prices during the
first quarter of 2010. Our average oil and natural gas price received per BOE, excluding the
impact of commodity derivative contracts, was $88.42 per BOE during the first quarter of 2011,
compared to $69.21 per BOE during the first quarter of 2010, a
28% increase between the two
periods. Including the impact of cash settlements on our commodity derivative contracts, our
average oil and natural gas price per BOE was $88.70 per BOE during the first quarter of 2011
compared to $56.70 per BOE during the first quarter of 2010.

Debt
Refinancing. In February 2011, we issued, at par,
$400 million of 63/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2021. The net proceeds, together with cash on hand, were used to repurchase
$525 million in principal amount of our outstanding 2013 Notes and 2015 Notes. Also,
in February, we commenced cash tender offers to purchase $225 million principal amount of our
2013 Notes and $300 million principal amount of our 2015 Notes. Upon expiration of the tender
offers in March 2011, we accepted for purchase $169.6 million in principal of the 2013 Notes at
100.625% of par and $220.9 million in principal of the 2015 Notes at 104.125% of par. We called
the remaining 2013 and 2015 Notes, repurchased all of the remaining outstanding 2015 Notes at
103.75% of par on March 21, 2011 and repurchased all of the remaining outstanding 2013 Notes at par
on April 1, 2011. During the first quarter of 2011, we recognized a $15.8 million loss associated
with the debt repurchases, included in our income statement under the caption Loss on early
extinguishment of debt.
CO2 Purchase Contracts. In March 2011, we entered into three
long-term supply
contracts to purchase CO2 from future anthropogenic sources in the Gulf Coast and Rocky
Mountain regions. Denbury will purchase 100% of the CO2 captured from the DKRW Advanced
Fuels LLCs Medicine Bow Fuel and Power LLC (MBFP) project in Medicine Bow, Wyoming, purchase 70%
of the CO2 captured from Mississippi Power Companys Kemper County Integrated
Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) project in Mississippi, and purchase 100% of the
CO2 captured from an undisclosed source in the Gulf Coast region. We estimate that
these sources will supply approximately 365 MMcf/d of CO2 for our enhanced oil recovery
operations, although under certain circumstances, we may be obligated to purchase up to 460 MMcf/d,
a portion of which would be at a reduced price per Mcf. We expect to begin taking delivery of
approximately 200 MMCF/d of CO2 from the MBFP project
in late 2014 or early 2015, 115 MMcf/d of
CO2
from the IGCC project by 2014, and 50
MMcf/d of CO2 from a Gulf Coast region source in late 2012.
Our aggregate maximum purchase obligation for
CO2 purchased under these three contracts would be approximately $110 million per year
(assuming purchases of 460 MMcf/d), plus transportation, assuming a $100 per barrel NYMEX oil price. The
purchase price of CO2 will fluctuate based on the changes in the price of oil. These
CO2 purchase agreements are contingent on completion or modification of the respective
plants by their operators.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
In March 2011, commensurate with higher oil prices, our Board of Directors approved an
increase in our 2011 capital spending budget, from $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion, excluding
capitalized interest, tertiary start-up costs, acquisitions and divestitures, and net of equipment leases. Our current 2011
capital budget includes the following:
| $450 million allocated for tertiary oil field expenditures; |
||
| $350 million in the Bakken area of North Dakota; |
||
| $250 million to be spent on our CO2 pipelines; |
||
| $150 million to be spent on CO2 sources in the Jackson Dome and Riley Ridge
areas; and |
||
| $100 million on drilling, completion and other development activities in our other
areas. |
This estimate also assumes that we fund approximately $60 million of budgeted equipment
purchases with operating leases, which is dependent upon securing acceptable financing. Our net
capital expenditures would increase by the amount of any shortfall in operating leases for this
purchased equipment, and we anticipate funding any such additional capital expenditures under our
Bank Credit Agreement.
Based on oil and natural gas commodity futures prices in early May 2011 and our current
production forecasts, excluding acquisition costs, our 2011 capital budget, including capitalized
interest and tertiary start-up costs, is $100 million to $200 million greater than our anticipated cash flow from operations.
These expenditures will be funded with our excess cash on
hand or, if necessary, borrowings under our $1.6 billion Bank Credit Agreement which currently
has no outstanding borrowings.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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 2011, we have
contracted for certain capital expenditures, including construction of the Greencore pipeline,
processing facilities at Riley Ridge, and several drilling rigs, and therefore we cannot eliminate
all of our capital commitments without penalties (refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis
Capital Resources and Liquidity - Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Commitments and Obligations in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further information
regarding these commitments). See CO2 Purchase
Contracts above and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements below for
further information regarding additional commitments entered into in
2011. We believe that our $1.6 billion Bank Credit Agreement and oil
derivative contracts, which provide a $70 floor price through mid-2012 and an $80 floor price for
the second half of 2012 on approximately 80%-85% of our currently anticipated proved oil production,
provide us with adequate liquidity and flexibility to meet our near-term capital spending plans if
oil prices were to decrease significantly.

cash flow from operations and the remainder with cash on hand at the beginning of the period. Our
capital expenditures for the first three months of 2010, excluding the Encore Merger, were funded
with $113.2 million of cash flow from operations and proceeds from the sale of our interests in
Genesis.
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 4 and 5 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2011, we entered into three long-term drilling contracts. Our total commitment under
these contracts is approximately $55.8 million, with $5.2 million expected to be paid in 2011,
$18.6 million in both 2012 and 2013, and $13.4 million in 2014.

Results of Operations
CO2 Operations
Our focus on CO2 operations is the primary strategy 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, 2010 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 Managements
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, 2010 for further information regarding these matters.
During the first quarter of 2011, our CO2 production at Jackson Dome averaged 1,021
MMcf/d as compared to an average of 802 MMcf/d produced during the first quarter of 2010 and 974
MMcf/d produced during the fourth quarter of 2010. We used 91% of this production, or 926 MMcf/d,
in our tertiary operations during the first quarter of 2011, and sold the balance to our industrial
customers, or to Genesis pursuant to our volumetric production payments. Refer to Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Capital Resources and
Liquidity Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Commitments and Obligations in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further discussion on our CO2
delivery obligations.
We spent approximately $0.25 per Mcf in operating expenses to produce our
CO2 during the first three months of 2011, which is up significantly from our
$0.20 per Mcf cost during the first three months of 2010, due primarily to increased CO2
royalty expense as a result of higher oil prices (to which CO2 royalties are tied).

Oil production from our tertiary operations increased to an average of 30,825 Bbls/d
during the first quarter of 2011, a 14% increase over our first quarter of 2010 tertiary production
level of 27,023 Bbls/d, primarily due to production growth in response to continued expansion of
the tertiary floods in the Tinsley, Heidelberg and Delhi Fields. Offsetting these production gains
were declines in our Mallalieu, Soso, and Eucutta Fields, production from which has most likely
peaked and will likely continue to decline in the future.
The production growth rate at a tertiary flood varies from quarter to quarter as a tertiary
fields production may increase rapidly when wells respond to the CO2, plateau
temporarily, and then resume its growth as additional areas of the field are developed. During a
tertiary flood life cycle, facility capacity is increased from time to time, which occasionally
requires temporary shutdowns during installation, thereby causing temporary declines in production.
We also find it difficult to precisely predict when any given well will respond to the injected
CO2 as the CO2 seldom travels through the rock consistently due to lack of
heterogeneity in the oil bearing formations. We find all these fluctuations to be normal, and
generally expect oil production at a tertiary field to increase over time until the entire field is
developed, albeit sometimes in inconsistent patterns. These types of fluctuations were most
noticeable at Tinsley and Heidelberg Fields in the first quarter of 2011, two of our fields which
have exhibited strong production growth in recent periods. We expect our tertiary production to
resume its growth later this year, as these temporary fluctuations have not changed our overall
outlook for these fields.
With the Green Pipeline complete, we initiated CO2 injections at Oyster Bayou
and Hastings Fields during June 2010 and December 2010, respectively. We currently anticipate
tertiary production responses at Hastings Field in late 2011 or early 2012, depending on the date
of completion of our CO2 recycle facilities at this field. We anticipate first
production at Oyster Bayou Field late in the first quarter of 2012, also dependant on the
completion of CO2 recycle facilities. We received the regulatory approvals required to
commence construction of the CO2
recycling facilities at Hastings and Oyster Bayou Fields in the fourth quarter of 2010, after
extensive unforeseen regulatory delays, and began construction of these facilities in the first
quarter of 2011.

During the first quarter of 2011, operating costs for our tertiary properties averaged $25.40
per Bbl, compared to our first quarter of 2010 average cost of $22.67 per Bbl and a fourth quarter
of 2010 average of $22.26 per Bbl.
The per Bbl increase quarter to quarter was primarily due to
increases in utilities,
CO2 costs
(which are variable and partially tied to oil prices),
and workover expenses. On a per Bbl basis, our cost of CO2 increased by $0.69 per Bbl,
from $4.89 per Bbl during the first quarter of 2010 to $5.58 per Bbl during the first quarter of
2011 and increased $0.03 from $5.55 per Bbl during the fourth quarter of 2010 due to slightly lower
CO2 injection levels at our tertiary producing fields. First quarter of 2011 workover
expenses increased $1.32 per Bbl over the first quarter of 2010 levels and $1.39 per Bbl over
fourth quarter of 2010 levels as we accelerated planned mechanical integrity test repairs at
Brookhaven Field rather than performing the work throughout the year as originally planned. 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.

As outlined in the above table, continuing production during the three months ended March
31, 2011 increased 7% over first quarter 2010 pro forma production levels. These increases were
primarily due to the additional production from a 14% increase in our tertiary production and a 61%
increase in production from the Bakken, partially offset by normal declines in most of our other
properties or declines resulting from a conversion of a portion of the field to a tertiary flood.
Additionally, our production from the Cedar Creek Anticline generally declines in periods of
increasing prices due to a net profits interest associated with this production.
Production from our Bakken properties averaged 5,728 BOE/d in the first quarter, a 61%
increase from first quarter 2010 pro forma production levels and an increase of over 10% as
compared to fourth quarter 2010 production levels. The production increases in the Bakken are due
to a gradual acceleration of our drilling activities in the area, as we have increased our operated
drilling rigs from two, at the time of the Encore acquisition in March 2010, to five operated rigs.
We anticipate adding a sixth rig in the third quarter of 2011 to test our acreage in the Almond
area, and will likely add a seventh rig by the end of 2011. Our first quarter 2011 Bakken
production was negatively impacted by severe winter weather which caused delays in well
completions.

Our production during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 92% oil as compared to 83%
during the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is due to the sales of the
non-strategic Encore properties and ENP properties in the second half of 2010, which had a higher
percentage of natural gas production.
Oil and Natural Gas Revenues. Due to the significant increase in oil prices between the first
three months of 2010 and 2011, our oil and natural gas revenues increased sharply during the first
quarter of 2011 as compared to revenues in the first quarter of 2010. These changes in oil and
natural gas revenues, excluding any impact of our commodity derivative contracts, are reflected in
the following table:

Our oil NYMEX differential improved during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared
to our differential in the comparable period of 2010, primarily due to the favorable differential
for crude oil sold under Light Louisiana Sweet (LLS) index prices, which are the sales prices for
approximately 40% of our oil production. During the latter part of the first quarter, the LLS
index price increased significantly more than increases in the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate crude
oil price, trading as high as $20 over NYMEX. For the first quarter of 2011 this LLS-to-NYMEX
differential averaged a positive $9.52 per barrel on a trade-month basis, as compared to a $4.07
differential in the fourth quarter of 2010 and a more typical $2.06 in the first quarter of 2010.
While this differential is a significant portion of the pricing formula for approximately 40% of
our oil production, other factors may prevent us from realizing the full
differential. It is uncertain how long this LLS-to-NYMEX differential will remain at this level.
Our oil price differential in the first quarter of 2010 was $2.08 per Bbl below NYMEX,
which reflected only a partial period for the acquired Encore properties, which typically receive
lower oil prices than our legacy production.

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 4 and 5 to the
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our
commodity derivative contracts.
Production Expenses. Our lease operating expenses increased approximately 32% between the
three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 primarily as 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); | ||
| higher CO2 costs, primarily due to increasing oil prices (see discussion of those expenses under CO2 Operations); | ||
| increasing personnel and related costs resulting primarily from the Encore Merger; and | ||
| increased workover costs primarily in our CO2 operations (see discussion of those expenses under CO2 Operations). |
Lease operating expense per BOE averaged $22.20 per BOE for the three months ended March 31,
2011, as compared to $20.12 per BOE for the same period in 2010. Our tertiary operating costs,
which have historically been higher than our company-wide operating costs, averaged $25.40 per BOE
during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $22.67 per BOE for the same period in
2010. See CO2 Operations for a more detailed discussion.
Production taxes and marketing expenses generally change in proportion to commodity prices and
production volumes, and as such, increased 70% during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as
compared to the same period in 2010. This compares to an increase in oil and natural gas revenues
of 53% during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The addition of properties in other operating
areas acquired in the Encore Merger also affected these costs. Transportation and plant processing
fees increased approximately $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
primarily due to the addition of properties in other operating areas acquired in the Encore Merger.
General and Administrative Expenses

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Gross cash G&A expenses increased $19.4 million (40%) during the three months ended March 31,
2011, as compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to the Encore Merger which closed March
9, 2010. The number of employees at March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010 decreased by 6%, as
many Encore employees who did not accept permanent positions with Denbury completed their
pre-defined transition period in early 2011. However, compensation and personnel costs were less
for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as the compensation and personnel costs for Encore
employees were included in our G&A expenses beginning March 9, 2010, the date of the Encore Merger.
Prior to the Encore Merger on March 9, 2010, our headcount was 856 employees.
The largest increases were related to personnel costs, including salaries, payroll taxes and our 401(k) match.
Wage increases also
contributed to the increase in G&A, as we consider this necessary in order to remain competitive in
our industry.
Additional expense attributable to the legacy Encore office leases and the new Denbury
headquarters lease, together with related moving costs, contributed to the higher cash G&A expense
during the first quarter of 2011. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense increased $1.4
million when compared to levels in the same period of 2010, due primarily to the effect of Encores
employees being included for a full quarter in 2011 versus only 22 days during the first quarter of
2010.
The increase in gross G&A expense during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to
those costs in the same period of 2010, 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. 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 35% during the
three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. Capitalized exploration
and development costs also increased between the periods, primarily due to increased compensation
costs.
The net effect of these changes resulted in a 34% increase (a 12% increase on a per BOE basis)
in G&A expense between the comparable first quarters of 2011 and 2010.

Interest expense increased $22.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as
compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to the increase in our average debt outstanding
to finance the Encore Merger which closed in March 2010, a portion of which was repaid during 2010
with proceeds from the sale of non-strategic legacy Encore assets and our ENP ownership interest.
The increase in interest expense between the comparative three month periods was also attributable
to a 49% decrease in our capitalized interest relating primarily to the Green Pipeline, which was
completed and placed into service during the second half of 2010.

Depletion of oil and natural gas properties increased on an absolute dollars basis during the
three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to
the Encore Merger. However, on a per BOE basis, our DD&A
expense decreased from quarter-to-quarter due to incremental production attributable to the
properties acquired from Encore, the acquisition of Riley Ridge, and higher tertiary production in
the first quarter of 2011.
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.
Our DD&A expense for our CO2 assets decreased on an absolute basis for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the prior periods due to proved CO2
reserve increases at Jackson Dome and Riley Ridge at the end of 2010. On a per BOE basis, DD&A
expense for our CO2 assets and other fixed assets decreased for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 compared to those in 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, and as a result of
proved CO2 reserve additions noted above.
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 March 31, 2011. However, if oil and
natural gas prices were to decrease significantly in subsequent periods, we may be required to
record 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 transaction
and other costs of $2.4 million and $45.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and
2010, respectively, associated with the Encore Merger, including $1.8 million and $1.2 million,
respectively, related to severance costs. We anticipate that these
severance costs will decline in the remainder of 2011 as the integration winds down and fewer
former Encore transition employees remain.

Effective tax rate |
38.2% | 43.4% |
Our income taxes are based on an estimated statutory
rate of approximately 38%.
Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 was slightly higher compared to
our statutory rate, primarily due to nondeductible compensation. Our effective tax rate for the
comparative quarter was higher than the historical statutory rate due to the remeasurement of our
deferred tax liabilities as a result of the Encore Merger in the first quarter of 2010 that
resulted in an additional income tax provision of approximately $10 million. During the three
months ended March 31, 2010, the current income tax expense represented our state income taxes,
primarily related to the sale of our interest in Genesis.
As of March 31, 2011, we had an estimated $39.8 million of enhanced oil recovery credits to
carry forward related to our tertiary operations, and $34.5 million of alternative minimum tax
credits that can be utilized to reduce our current income taxes during 2011 or future years. The
enhanced oil recovery credits do not begin to expire until 2024. 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.
In the third 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. As a result of the approved change in method of tax
accounting, beginning with the 2007 tax year we began to deduct, rather than capitalize, such costs
for tax purposes, and applied for tax refunds associated with such change for our 2004 and 2006 tax
years. Notwithstanding its consent to our change in tax accounting in
2008, the IRS subsequently
exercised its prerogative to challenge the tax accounting method we used. In late January 2011, we
received a Technical Advice Memorandum (TAM) issued by the IRS National Office disapproving our
method of accounting and revoking its consent to our change, on a prospective basis only,
commencing January 1, 2011. Henceforth, beginning with the 2011 tax year, we are returning to
capitalizing and depreciating the costs of these assets for tax purposes. As a result of the
prospective nature of the IRSs determination, there should be no change in our position with
respect to the deductibility of these costs for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. However, refund claims
of $10.6 million for tax years through 2006 are pending and are subject to review by the Joint
Committee on Taxation of the U.S. Congress. We are unable to assess the outcome of any such review,
nor how that outcome may affect the other years covered by the TAM.
The current administration in Washington D.C. is attempting to remove many tax incentives for
the oil and gas industry. Those items that would have the most significant impact on us would
include the loss of the domestic manufacturing deduction as well as the repeal of the immediate
expensing of intangible drilling costs and tertiary injectant costs. It is uncertain whether or not
the current administration will be successful in changing the laws, but if they were successful, it
would likely increase the amount of cash taxes that we pay. Should cash taxes increase
significantly, it could impact our forecasted 2011 capital expenditure budget.

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. We currently employ a strategy to hedge a
portion of our forecasted production for a period generally ranging from approximately 12 to 18 months in advance (although we will hedge farther in
advance if deemed prudent), as we believe it is important to protect our future cash flow for a
short period of time in order to give us time to adjust to commodity price fluctuations,
particularly since many of our expenditures have long lead times. See Note 4, Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, to the 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. 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 bank credit agreement. We have included an estimate of nonperformance risk in the fair value
measurement of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts, which we have measured for
nonperformance risk based upon credit default swaps or credit spreads.
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 March 31, 2011, our commodity derivative contracts were recorded at their fair value, which
was a net liability of approximately $216.3 million (excluding $21.2 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 $44.0 million fair value liability
recorded at December 31, 2010. This change is primarily related to the oil futures prices as of
March 31, 2011 in relation to the commodity derivative contracts for 2011 through 2012.

Based on NYMEX crude oil and natural gas futures prices as of March 31, 2011, and assuming
both a 10% increase and decrease thereon, we would expect to make or receive payments on our crude

Equity Price Sensitivity
Our investment in Vanguard common units is considered an investment in available-for-sale
securities, which are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains or losses included in
accumulated other comprehensive income. This investment is thus subject to equity price
sensitivity, as fair value is determined by quoted market prices. We estimate that a hypothetical
10% increase or decrease in quoted market prices for Vanguard common
units would result in a $10.0
million unrealized gain or loss, respectively, as of March 31, 2011.
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 Companys 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 Companys management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Companys Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls
and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011 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 SECs rules
and forms; and that information that is required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief
Financial Officer, we have determined that, during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, there were no
changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
