Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and Administrator of the
Denbury Resources Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of plan assets and the related statements of changes in
plan assets present fairly, in all material respects, the plan assets of the Denbury Resources Inc.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan) at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in plan
assets for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Plan Description
The following description of the Denbury Resources Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Plan)
provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan prospectus for a more
complete description of the Plans provisions.
General
The Plan is an employee stock purchase plan that allows participants to purchase shares of common
stock (Stock) of Denbury Resources Inc. (Company). The Plans fiscal year ends on December 31
and is divided into four three-month periods (Offering Periods) for the purposes of stock
offerings under the Plan. The Offering Periods begin on the first day of each January, April, July
and October.
The Plan covers substantially all full-time employees of the Company, who are employed on or before
the first day of the Offering Period. Eligible employees not yet participating in the Plan may
enroll in the Plan at any time, but their election will only become active at the beginning of the
next Offering Period. Once an election is made, the participant will automatically participate in
all subsequent Offering Periods, unless the participant makes a new election or withdraws from an
Offering Period or from the Plan in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Plan
prospectus. An employee who elects not to continue participation in the Plan must wait for a period
of six months before participating again. The Company initially issued new, previously unissued
Stock to its employees under the Plan; however, since 2003 the Company has reissued treasury shares
purchased in the open market.
The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended (ERISA), nor is it qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (Code).
Contributions and Stock Purchases
The participants may elect to contribute from 1% up to 10%, in 1% increments, of their base salary
to the Plan either by payroll deductions or by making a cash payment prior to the end of each
Offering Period. At the end of each Offering Period, the Company contributes an amount equal to
75% of the individual participants contributions and uses the combined funds to purchase and issue
shares of the Companys Stock into the account of the participant. The number of shares is
calculated by using the market price of the Companys Stock at the end of the applicable Offering
Period. The market price is defined as the average closing price on the NYSE for the ten trading
days prior to the issue date. In addition, the Company pays the income tax on the Companys
matching portion for employees who are below a certain salary threshold.
Shares purchased by the participants are immediately distributed in the name of each participant at
the end of each Offering Period. The shares issued have all rights of ownership such as voting and
dividend rights, but the Plan requires that the participant retain the shares for one year after
-6-
issuance before the shares may be sold or transferred. For convenience, each participants shares
are initially issued into their account at American Stock Transfer (AST), the Companys transfer
agent.
If an employee is terminated for any reason prior to the end of the Offering Period or makes an
election to withdraw during the Offering Period, any contributions made by such employee during the
Offering Period are refunded, without interest, and such employee does not receive the Companys
matching contribution. Such refunds are included in Employee contributions, net on the
accompanying Statements of Changes in Plan Assets.
As the shares are fully vested upon issuance, there are no provisions for a change of control in
the Plan.
On December 5, 2007, the Companys Stock was split on a two-for-one basis. Information pertaining
to shares included herein has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
The maximum number of shares of the Companys Stock available for sale under the Plan is 7,400,000,
of which 6,967,712 shares have been purchased by and distributed to participants as of December 31,
2008. Participants of the Plan purchased 346,805, 251,119, and 274,560 shares of the Companys
Stock during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31,
2008, there were 432,288 authorized shares of the Companys Stock remaining to be issued under the
Plan.
Fractional shares of the Companys Stock are not purchased and distributed to participants. Cash
held by the Plan represents participant funds which were not sufficient to purchase a whole share
of the Companys Stock. This cash is combined with contributions in future Offering Periods, and
whole shares are purchased under the provisions of the Plan when sufficient funds are accumulated.
Plan Amendments
On May 15, 2007, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the
maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan from 7,000,000 shares to
7,400,000 shares. The Plan was amended in May 2005 to extend the life of the Plan by five years,
from August 2005 to August 2010.
Plan Administration
The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors.
Administrative Expenses
All expenses for Plan administration are paid by the Company and are not reflected in the financial
statements of the Plan. If shares purchased under the Plan are subsequently sold by the
participant, the participant is responsible for all fees, commissions and other costs incurred in
such transactions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Participants Accounts
Assets in participants accounts, although provided for by the Plan as a convenience to the
participants, are not included in the assets of the Plan as the Plan does not retain any ownership
or have any rights to the shares once they are issued. As a result, participants sales of shares
are not included in the Plans Statements of Changes in Plan Assets.
3. Tax Status
The Plan does not fulfill the requirements of an employee stock purchase plan as defined in Section
423 of the Code. As such, the Plan is not required to file income tax returns or pay income taxes.
Contributions made to the Plan by the employer on behalf of the participants are taxable to the
participant as ordinary income. Upon the disposition of the shares by the participant, the
participant will generally be subject to tax for any appreciation in the share value.
4. Termination of the Plan
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Board of Directors of the Company has the
right, subject to certain restrictions under the Plan, to amend or terminate the Plan at any time.
The Plan will, unless amended by the Board of Directors, terminate at the earliest of August 9,
2010 or the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan have been sold pursuant
to the purchase rights exercised under the Plan. Upon termination of the Plan, any cash held by
the Plan will be refunded, without interest, to the participants who originally contributed the
funds.
5. Cash
The Plans cash is maintained by the Company on behalf of the Plan. The cash is
non-interest-bearing.
