Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Organization and Nature of Operations
Denbury Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation, is an independent oil and natural gas company with operations focused in two key operating areas: the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. Our goal is to increase the value of our properties through a combination of exploitation, drilling and proven engineering extraction practices, with the most significant emphasis relating to CO2 enhanced oil 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, 20172018 (the “Form 10-K”). Unless indicated otherwise or the context requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” 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 management’s 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 June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 20172018, our consolidated cash flows for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 20172018, and our consolidated statementstatements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on our reported net income, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities or stockholders’ equity.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as reported within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period” as reported within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

|
Amounts included in restricted cash included in “Other assets” in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represent escrow accounts that are legally restricted for certain of our asset retirement obligations.
Our prior-year quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on May 10, 2018 previously disclosed balances of certain U.S. Treasury Notes of $24.6 million and $25.2 million as of January 1, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively, that should have been excluded from “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash” on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Accordingly, “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash” as of January 1, 2018 and March 31, 2018, originally reported as $40.6 million and $40.9 million, respectively, should have been reported as $16.0 million and $15.7 million, respectively. In addition, changes in the U.S. Treasury Notes of $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 should have been included in net cash used in investing activities. Accordingly, net cash used in investing activities for the three months

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
ended March 31, 2018, originally reported as $50.8 million, should have been $51.4 million. These revisions had no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations for the periods presented.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated in the same manner, but includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities consist of nonvested restricted stock, nonvested performance-based equity awards, and shares into which our previously-outstanding convertible senior notes were convertible.

Basic weighted average common shares exclude shares of nonvested restricted stock. As these restricted shares vest, they will be included in the shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income (loss) per common share (although time-vesting restricted stock is issued and outstanding upon grant). For purposes of calculating diluted weighted average common shares during the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2018, and 2017, the nonvested restricted stock and performance-based equity awards are included in the computation using the treasury stock method, with the deemed proceeds equal to the average unrecognized compensation during the period, and for the shares underlying the previously-outstanding convertible senior notes as if the convertible senior notes were converted at the beginning of the 2018 period. In April and May 2018, all outstanding convertible senior notes converted into shares of Denbury common stock, resulting in the issuance of 55.2 million shares of our common stock upon conversion. These shares have been included in basic weighted average common shares outstanding beginning on the date of conversion. See Note 4, Long-Term Debt, for further discussion.
The following securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share, as their effect would have been antidilutive:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted
Cash Flows.Leases. In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issuedEffective January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 addresses the diversity that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows, and requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change in total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-18, which has been applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. Accordingly, restricted cash associated with our escrow accounts of $40.6 million and $39.3 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, have been included in “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at beginning of period” on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and $40.2 million included in “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period” for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 did not have an impact on our consolidated balance sheets or results of operations.
Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 amends the guidance for revenue recognition to replace numerous, industry-specific requirements. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The ASU implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The amendment also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued four additional ASUs which primarily clarified the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, performance obligations and licensing, collectibility, presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, and non-cash consideration. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, but required enhanced footnote disclosures. See Note 2, Revenue Recognition, for additional information.
Not Yet Adopted
Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 amends the guidance for lease accounting to require lease assets, and liabilities to be recognized on the balance sheet, along with additional disclosures regarding key leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. Entities must adopt the standard using a modified retrospective transition and apply the guidance to the earliest comparative period presented, with certain practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842) – Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, using the modified retrospective method with an application date of January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-02 does not apply to mineral leases or leases that convey the right to explore for or use the land on which provides an optionaloil, natural gas, and similar natural resources are contained. We elected the practical expedient to existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 842, which permits a company to evaluate only new or modified land easements underexpedients provided in the new guidance. WeASUs that allow historical lease classification of existing leases, allow entities to recognize leases with terms of one year or less in their statement of operations, allow lease and non-lease components to be combined, and carry forward our accounting treatment for existing land easement agreements. The adoption of the new standards resulted in the recognition of $39.1 million of lease assets and $55.8 million of lease liabilities ($16.7 million of which related to previously-existing lease obligations) as of January 1, 2019, in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but did not materially impact our results of operations and had no impact on our cash flows. The additional lease assets and liabilities recorded on our balance sheets primarily related to our operating leases for office space, as the accounting for our financing leases and pipeline financings was relatively unchanged.
Not Yet Adopted
Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2018-13”).ASU 2018-13 adds, modifies, or removes certain disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements based on the FASB’s consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments in this ASU are currently evaluating our lease agreementseffective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and implementing a software systeminterim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. Entities must adopt the amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to summarizedevelop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the key contract termsnarrative description of measurement uncertainty prospectively, and financial information associated with each lease agreement, in orderall other amendments should be applied retrospectively to assess the impact theall periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-01 will2018-13 is currently not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.statements, but may require enhanced footnote disclosures.
Note 2. Revenue Recognition
We record revenue in accordance with FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“ASC”FASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which we adopted on January 1, 2018, and applied to all existing contracts using the modified retrospective method.. The core principle of FASB ASCFASC Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount of consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. This principle is achieved through applying a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition:
•Identify the contract or contracts with a customer – We derive the majority of our revenues from oil and natural gas sales contracts and CO2 sales and transportation contracts. The contracts specify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and contain commercial substance as they impact our financial statements. A high percentage of our receivables balance is current, and we have not historically entered into contracts with counterparties that pose a credit risk without requiring adequate economic protection to ensure collection.
Denbury Resources Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
•Identify the performance obligations in the contract – Each of our revenue contracts specify a volume per day, or production from a lease designated in the contract (a distinct good), to be delivered at the delivery point over the term of the contract (the identified performance obligation). The customer takes delivery and physical possession of the product at the delivery point, which generally is also the point at which title transfers and the customer obtains the risks and rewards of ownership (the identified performance obligation is satisfied).
•Determine the transaction price – Typically, our oil and natural gas contracts define the price as a formula price based on the average market price, as specified on set dates each month, for the specific commodity during the month of delivery. Certain of our CO2 contracts define the price as a fixed contractual price adjusted to an inflation index to reflect market pricing. Given the industry practice to invoice customers the month following the month of delivery and our high probability of collection of payment, no significant financing component is included in our contracts.
•Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract – The majority of our revenue contracts are short-term, with terms of one year or less, to which we have applied the practical expedient permitted under the standard eliminating the requirement to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. In limited instances, we have revenue contracts with terms greater than one year; however, the future delivery volumes are wholly unsatisfied as they represent separate performance obligations with variable consideration. We utilized the practical expedient which eliminates the requirement to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations. As there is only one performance obligation associated with our contracts, no allocation of the transaction price is necessary.
•Recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation – Once we have delivered the volume of commodity to the delivery point and the customer takes delivery and possession, we are entitled to payment and we invoice the customer for such delivered production. Payment under most oil and CO2 contracts is made within a month following product delivery and for natural gas and NGL contracts is generally made within two months following delivery. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers; however, as the right to consideration after delivery is unconditional based on only the passage of time before payment of the consideration is due, upon delivery we record a receivable in “Accrued production receivable” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which was $163.7$147.4 million and $146.3$125.8 million as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Lease costs for operating leases or leases with a term of 12 months or less are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset are recognized separately, with the depreciable life reflective of the expected lease term. We have subleased part of the office space included in our operating leases for which we receive rental payments. The following table summarizes the components of lease costs and sublease income:

Our current maturities of long-term debt as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 include $84.9$102.7 million of future interest payable related to the 2021 Senior Secured Notes and 2022 Senior Secured Notes that is due within the next twelve months. See January 2018 Note Exchanges below for further discussion. |
The ultimate parent company in our corporate structure, Denbury Resources Inc. (“DRI”), is the sole issuer of all of our outstanding senior secured and senior subordinated notes. DRI has no independent assets or operations. Each of the subsidiary guarantors of such notes is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by DRI, and the guarantees of the notes are full and unconditional and joint and several; any subsidiaries of DRI that are not subsidiary guarantors of such notes are minor subsidiaries.
Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility
In December 2014, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Bank Credit Agreement”)., which has been amended
Denbury Resources Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
periodically since that time. The Bank Credit Agreement is a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of December 9, 20192021, provided that the maturity date may occur earlier (between February 2021 and semiannual borrowing base redeterminationsAugust 2021) if the 2021 Senior Secured Notes due in May and November2021 or 6⅜% Senior Subordinated Notes due in August 2021, respectively, are not repaid or refinanced by each of each year.their respective maturity dates. As part of our spring 20182019 semiannual borrowing base redetermination, the borrowing base and lender commitments for our Bank Credit Agreement were reaffirmed at $1.05 billion,$615 million, with the next such redetermination being scheduled for November 2018.2019. If our outstanding debt under the Bank Credit Agreement were to ever exceed the borrowing base, we would be required to repay the excess amount over a period not to exceed six months. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Bank Credit Agreement was 4.7% as of June 30, 2018. We incur a commitment fee of 0.50% on the undrawn portion of the aggregate lender commitments under the Bank Credit Agreement.
At June 30, 2018, theThe Bank Credit Agreement containedcontains certain financial performance covenants through the maturity of the facility, including the following:
A Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDAX covenant, with such ratio not to exceed 5.25 to 1.0 through December 31, 2020, and 4.50 to 1.0 thereafter;
A consolidated senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDAX covenant, with such ratio not to exceed 2.5 to 1.0. Currently, onlyOnly debt under our Bank Credit Agreement is considered consolidated senior secured debt for purposes of this ratio;
Denbury Resources Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
A minimum permitted ratio of consolidated EBITDAX to consolidated interest charges of 1.25 to 1.0; and
A requirement to maintain a current ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.
As of March 31, 2019, we had no outstanding borrowings, and were in compliance with all debt covenants, under the Bank Credit Agreement. The above description of our Bank Credit Agreement is qualified by the express language and defined terms contained in the Bank Credit Agreement and the amendments thereto, each of which are filed as exhibits to our periodic reports filed with the SEC.
January 2018 Note Exchanges
During January 2018, we closed transactions to exchange a total of $174.3 million aggregate principal amount of our then existing senior subordinated notes for $74.1 million aggregate principal amount of new 2022 Senior Secured Notes and $59.4 million aggregate principal amount of new 5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Convertible Senior Notes”), resulting in a net reduction in our debt principal from these exchanges of $40.8 million. The exchanged notes consisted of $11.6 million aggregate principal amount of our 6⅜% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021, $94.2 million aggregate principal amount of our 5½% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 and $68.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 4⅝% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023.
In accordance with FASC 470-60, the exchange was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring due to the level of concession provided by our senior subordinated note holders. Under this guidance, future interest applicable to the new 2022 Senior Secured Notes and 2023 Convertible Senior Notes was recorded as debt up to the point that the principal and future interest of the new notes was equal to the principal amount of the extinguished notes, rather than recognizing a gain on extinguishment for this amount. In May 2018, the debt principal balance and future interest applicable to the 2023 Convertible Senior Notes were reclassified to “Paid-in capital in excess of par” and “Common stock” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets following the conversion of the notes into shares of Denbury common stock (see Conversions of 2023 and 2024 Convertible Senior Notes below for further discussion). As of June 30, 2018, $22.1 million of future interest on the new 2022 Senior Secured Notes was recorded as debt, which will be reduced as semiannual interest payments are made, with the remaining $3.6 million of future interest to be recognized as interest expense over the term of the notes. Therefore, future interest expense reflected in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on the new 2022 Senior Secured Notes will be significantly lower than the actual cash interest payments.
9¼% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022
In January 2018, we issued $74.1 million of 2022 Senior Secured Notes, which principal amount is in addition to the $381.6 million of 2022 Senior Secured Notes issued during December 2017. All $455.7 million of the 2022 Senior Secured Notes were issued in connection with exchanges with a limited number of holders of the Company’s existing senior subordinated notes in December 2017 and January 2018 (see January 2018 Note Exchanges above). The 2022 Senior Secured Notes bear interest at 9.25% per annum, with interest payable semiannually in arrears on March 31 and September 30 of each year, and mature on March 31, 2022. We may redeem the 2022 Senior Secured Notes in whole or in part at our option beginning March 31, 2019, at a redemption price of 109.25% of the principal amount, and at declining redemption prices thereafter, as specified in the indenture governing the 2022 Senior Secured Notes. Prior to March 31, 2019, we may at our option redeem up to an aggregate of 35% of the principal amount of the 2022 Senior Secured Notes at a price of 109.25% of par with the proceeds of certain equity offerings. In addition, at any time prior to March 31, 2019, we may redeem the 2022 Senior Secured Notes in whole or in part at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The 2022 Senior Secured Notes are not subject to any sinking fund requirements.
The 2022 Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally by our subsidiaries representing substantially all of our assets, operations and income and are secured by second-priority liens on substantially all of the assets that secure the Bank Credit Agreement, which second-priority liens are contractually subordinated to liens that secure our Bank Credit Agreement and any future additional priority lien debt.
Conversions of 2023 and 2024 Convertible Senior Notes
During the second quarter of 2018, holders of all $59.4 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 2023 Convertible Senior Notes and $84.7 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of our 2024 Convertible Senior Notes converted their notes into shares of Denbury common stock, at the rates specified in the indentures for these notes, resulting in the issuance of 55.2 million shares of our common stock upon conversion. The debt principal balances and future interest treated as debt applicable
Denbury Resources Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
to the 2023 Convertible Senior Notes and 2024 Convertible Senior Notes, totaling $162.1 million, were reclassified to “Paid-in capital in excess of par” and “Common stock” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets upon the conversion of the notes into shares of Denbury common stock. As of April 18, 2018 and May 30, 2018, there were no remaining 2024 Convertible Senior Notes and 2023 Convertible Senior Notes outstanding, respectively.
Note 5. Commodity Derivative Contracts
We do not apply hedge accounting treatment to our oil and natural gas derivative contracts; 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 settlements of expired contracts, are shown under “Commodity derivatives expense (income)”expense” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Historically, we have entered 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 and to provide more certainty to our future cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Generally, these contracts have consisted of various combinations of price floors, collars, three-way collars, fixed-price swaps, fixed-price swaps enhanced with a sold put, and basis swaps. The production that we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt, financial strength and expectation of future commodity prices.
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, and all of our commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our Bank Credit Agreement (or affiliates of such lenders). As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, all of our outstanding derivative contracts were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements whereby payables on those contracts can be offset against receivables from separate derivative contracts with the same counterparty. It is our policy to classify derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our balance sheets, even if the contracts are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements.

(1) | Ranges presented for fixed-price swaps represent the lowest and highest fixed prices of all open contracts for the period presented. For three-way collars, ranges represent the lowest floor price and highest ceiling price for all open contracts for the period presented. |
| |
(2) | A three-way collar is a costless collar contract combined with a sold put feature (at a lower price) with the same counterparty. The value received for the sold put is used to enhance the contracted floor and ceiling price of the related collar. At the contract settlement date, (1) if the index price is higher than the ceiling price, we pay the counterparty the difference between the index price and ceiling price for the contracted volumes, (2) if the index price is between the floor and ceiling price, no settlements occur, (3) if the index price is lower than the floor price but at or above the sold put price, the counterparty pays us the difference between the index price and the floor price for the contracted volumes and (4) if the index price is lower than the sold put price, the counterparty pays us the difference between the floor price and the sold put price for the contracted volumes. |
Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
The FASC Fair Value Measurement topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (often referred to as the “exit price”). 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 income 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. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded oil derivatives that are based
Denbury Resources Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
on NYMEX pricing and fixed-price swaps that are based on regional pricing other than NYMEX (e.g., Light Louisiana Sweet). Our costless collars and the sold put features of our three-way collars are valued using the Black-Scholes model, an industry standard option valuation model that takes into account inputs such as contractual prices for the underlying instruments, maturity, quoted forward prices for commodities, interest rates, volatility factors and credit worthiness, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace
Denbury Resources Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. As of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded three-way collars that are based on regional pricing other than NYMEX (e.g., Light Louisiana Sweet). The valuation models utilized for costless collars and three-way collars are consistent with the methodologies described above; however, the implied volatilities utilized in the valuation of Level 3 instruments are developed using a benchmark, which is considered a significant unobservable input. An increase or decrease of 100 basis points in the implied volatility inputs utilized in our fair value measurement would result in a change of approximately $225$100 thousand in the fair value of these instruments as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.
We adjust the valuations from the valuation model for nonperformance risk, using our estimate of the counterparty’s credit quality for asset positions and our credit quality for liability positions. We use multiple sources of third-party credit data in determining counterparty nonperformance risk, including credit default swaps.
The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of the periods indicated:

We utilize an income approach to value our Level 3 costless collars and three-way collars. We obtain and ensure the appropriateness of the significant inputs to the calculation, including contractual prices for the underlying instruments, maturity, forward prices for commodities, interest rates, volatility factors and credit worthiness, and the fair value estimate is prepared and reviewed on a quarterly basis. The following table details fair value inputs related to implied volatilities utilized in the valuation of our Level 3 oil derivative contracts:

Other Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of our loans under our Bank Credit Agreement approximate fair value, as they are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate the rates available to us for those periods. We use a market approach to determine the fair value of our fixed-rate long-term debt using observable market data. The fair values of our senior secured second lien notes convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes are based on quoted market prices, which are considered Level 1 measurements under the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the principal amount of our debt as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20172018, excluding pipeline financing and capital lease obligations, was $2,299.11,990.0 million and $2,260.61,886.1 million, respectively. We have other financial instruments consisting primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term receivables and payables that approximate fair value due to the nature of the instrument and the relatively short maturities.
Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses. We are also subject to audits for various taxes (income, sales and use, and severance) in the various states in which we operate, and from time to time receive assessments for potential taxes that we may owe. 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. Although a single or multiple adverse rulings or settlements could possibly have a material adverse effect on our finances, we onlyWe accrue for losses from litigation and claims if we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Riley Ridge Helium Supply Contract Claim
As part of our 2010 and 2011 acquisitions of the Riley Ridge Unit and associated gas processing facility that was under construction, the Company assumed a 20-year helium supply contract under which we agreed to supply the helium separated from the full well stream by operation of the gas processing facility to a third-party purchaser, APMTG Helium, LLC.LLC (“APMTG”). The helium supply contract provides for the delivery of a minimum contracted quantity of helium, subject to adjustment after startup of the Riley Ridge gas processing facility, with liquidated damages payable if specified quantities of helium are not supplied in accordance with the terms of the contract. The liquidated damages are specified in the contract at up to $8.0 million per contract year and are capped at an aggregate of $46.0 million over the term of the contract.
As the gas processing facility has been shut-in since mid-2014 due to significant technical issues, we have not been able to supply helium under the helium supply contract. APMTG Helium, LLC filedIn a case filed in November 2014 in the Ninth Judicial District Court of Sublette County, Wyoming, claimingAPMTG claimed multiple years of liquidated damages for non-delivery of volumes of helium specified under the helium supply contract. The Company’s position isCompany claimed that ourits contractual obligations arewere excused by virtue of events that fall within the force majeure provisions in the helium supply contract. The evidentiary phase
On March 11, 2019, the trial court entered a final judgment that a force majeure condition did exist, but the Company’s performance was excused by the force majeure provisions of the trial concluded on November 29, 2017. The parties submitted written closing briefscontract for only a 35-day period in 2014, and rebuttal briefsas a result the Company should pay APMTG liquidated damages and interest thereon for those time periods from contract commencement to the District Court during February and Aprilclose of 2018. We currently expect a ruling fromevidence (November 29, 2017) when the District CourtCompany’s performance was not excused as provided in the contract.
The Company’s position continues to be made during 2018.that its contractual obligations have been and continue to be excused by events that fall within the force majeure provisions in the helium supply contract. On April 5, 2019, the Company filed a motion for amendment of judgment with the trial court requesting that the trial court amend certain of its findings of fact and conclusions of law with respect to the Company’s claims that a force majeure event excused the Company’s performance for a specified period of time after contract commencement. The Company plansintends to continue to vigorously defend its position but we are unableand pursue all of its rights, including its right to predictappeal any portion of the trial court’s ruling to the Wyoming Supreme Court, the timing and results of which cannot be predicted at this timetime.
Subject to the outcomeCompany’s motion for amendment of this dispute.judgment, and absent reversal of the trial court’s factual or legal conclusions on appeal (the timing of which is currently unpredictable), the Company anticipates total liquidated damages would equal the $46.0 million aggregate cap under the helium supply contract (including $14.2 million of liquidated damages for the contract years ending July 31, 2018 and July 31, 2019) plus $3.8 million of associated costs through March 31, 2019, for a total of $49.8 million, which the Company has included in “Other liabilities” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019.

Any terms used but not defined herein 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 the Form 10-K, along with Forward-Looking Information at the end of this section for information on the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than our forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
Denbury is an independent oil and natural gas company with operations focused in two key operating areas: the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. Our goal is to increase the value of our properties through a combination of exploitation, drilling and proven engineering extraction practices, with the most significant emphasis relating to CO2 enhanced oil recovery operations.
Oil Price Impact on Our Business. Our financial results are significantly impacted by changes in oil prices, as 97% of our production is oil. Over the last year, NYMEX oil prices have gradually improved from around $50 per Bbl in August 2017, to around $70 per Bbl at the end of July 2018, which are considerably higher than those experienced in 2015 and 2016, when oil prices generally ranged between $40-$50 per Bbl. NYMEX oil prices averaged approximately $68 per Bbl in the second quarter of 2018 compared to approximately $48 per Bbl in the second quarter of 2017 and $63 per Bbl in the first quarter of 2018. IncreasesChanges in oil prices impact all aspects of our business; most notably our cash flowflows from operations, revenues, and capital allocation and budgeting decisions. OurNYMEX oil prices rebounded from the low-$40s at the end of 2018 to average in the mid-$50s during the first quarter of 2019, with a continued increase to an average of $64 during April 2019. With our continued focus on improving the Company’s financial position and preserving liquidity, we have based our 2019 budget on a flat $50 oil price, and our 2019 capital spending has been budgeted at approximately $300in a range of $240 million to $325$260 million, excluding capitalized interest and acquisitions, which is roughly a 30% increase over 201723% decrease from our 2018 capital spending levels. Utilizing first half 2018 realizedBased on our original 2019 budget, assuming a flat $50 oil pricesprice, we have estimated that our cash flows from operations would be significantly higher than our capital expenditures and futures oil prices for the remainderresult in Denbury generating significant excess cash flow during 2019. Also, we have hedged approximately 70% of 2018, we currently projectour estimated 2019 production in order to provide a greater level of certainty in our 2019 cash flow that would more than fully fundflow. Based on our developmentexpected level of capital spending plans, with incremental cash flow currently expected to be utilized to reduce debt. At this capital spending level,and other assumptions, we currently anticipate that our 20182019 production towill average between 56,000 and 60,000 BOE/d. Additional information concerning our 2019 budget and 64,000 BOE/d.plans is included below under Capital Resources and Liquidity – Overview.
Operating Highlights. We recognized a net incomeloss of $30.2$25.7 million, or $0.07$0.06 per diluted common share, during the secondfirst quarter of 2018,2019, compared to net income of $14.4$39.6 million, or $0.04$0.09 per diluted common share, during the secondfirst quarter of 2017.2018. The primary drivers of ourthe change in our operating results between the comparative second quarters of 2018 and 2017 were the following:
Oil and natural gas revenues in the secondfirst quarter of 2018 improved2019 decreased by $124.7$45.4 million, or 50%13%, principally driven by a 45% improvement12% decrease in realized oil prices, along with a 4% increase in average daily production volumes. Our net realized oil price relative to NYMEX prices improved by $1.55 per Bbl from the prior-year period to $0.39 per Bbl above NYMEX.prices.
Commodity derivatives expense increased by $106.6$34.6 million, ($96.2primarily due to an increase of $76.1 million of expense in the current-year period compared to $10.4 million of income in the prior-year period). This increase in expense was the result of losses from noncash fair value adjustments, between the periods of $63.6partially offset by a $41.6 million and a $43.0 million increasenet change in paymentssettlements on derivative settlements.

• | Lease operating expenses increased $9.1contracts (receipts of $8.2 million (8%), or 4% on a per-BOE basis, primarily impacted by operating expenses related to our non-operated working interest in Salt Creek Field, which was acquired in late June 2017, as well as higher CO2 expensedue to increases in oil prices to which CO2 prices are tied, and an increase in power and fuel costs, partially offset by lower workover expenses during the current year.

General and administrative expenses decreased $6.4 million, primarily as a result of lower employee-related costs due to a workforce reduction in August 2017.
Interest expense, net, decreased on a GAAP basis by $7.9 million primarily due to debt exchange transactions completed during December 2017 and January 2018, whereby most of the future interest associated with the new notes was recorded as debt, as well as the conversion during the secondfirst quarter of 20182019 compared to payments of all convertible senior notes issued$33.4 million in December and January into shares of Denbury common stock.

Exploitation Drilling Update. In December 2018, we spudded our first well in the Cotton Valley interval at Tinsley Field, and in April 2019, we drilled a test well within the 2A Sand interval at Conroe Field, with plans to drill an additional well within the 2A Sand interval in July 2019. Initial results from these two wells are positive, and initial flow test results are expected during the second quarter of 2019. We continue to evaluate exploitation opportunities in additional horizons underlying the existing CO2 EOR flood at Tinsley Field, as well as within oil-bearing formations at Conroe Field. At Cedar Creek Anticline, we currently have plans to drill up to four additional Mission Canyon wells and a potential Charles B follow-up well in the second half of 2019.

second quarter of 2018 compared to $12.3 million of cash outflows during the second quarter of 2017), partially offset by an increase in derivative settlement payments of $43.0 million.
Recent Debt Reduction Transactions. We reduced our debt principal by $328.5 million between December 2017 and May 2018 through a series of exchange transactions and related debt conversions as follows:
During December 2017, we reduced debt principal by $143.6 million through privately negotiated transactions, in which institutional holders exchanged $609.8 million aggregate principal amount of our subordinated debt for:
| |
– | $381.6 million aggregate principal amount of 9¼% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Senior Secured Notes”) and |
| |
– | $84.7 million aggregate principal amount of 3½% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Convertible Senior Notes”) |
During January 2018, we reduced debt principal by $40.8 million through additional exchange transactions, in which institutional holders exchanged $174.3 million aggregate principal amount of our subordinated debt for:
| |
– | $74.1 million aggregate principal amount of 2022 Senior Secured Notes and |
| |
– | $59.4 million aggregate principal amount of 5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Convertible Senior Notes”) |
In April and May 2018, we reduced debt principal by $144.1 million when holders of all outstanding 2024 Convertible Senior Notes and 2023 Convertible Senior Notes, issued in the exchanges above, converted their notes into shares of Denbury common stock, at rates specified in the indentures for the notes, which resulted in the issuance of 55.2 million shares of our common stock upon conversion. As of April 18, 2018 and May 30, 2018, there were no remaining 2024 Convertible Senior Notes or 2023 Convertible Senior Notes outstanding, respectively. The conversion of these notes saves the Company annual cash interest payments of $5.9 million.
Sanctioning of Enhanced Oil Recovery Development at Cedar Creek Anticline. In June 2018, we announced the sanctioning of the CO2 enhanced oil recovery development project at Cedar Creek Anticline. The capital outlay required to bring the initial phase of the project to first tertiary production is currently estimated at $250 million over the next four years, which includes $150 million for a 110-mile extension of the Greencore CO2 pipeline from Bell Creek Field and $100 million for development in the Red River formation at East Lookout Butte and Cedar Hills South fields. First tertiary production is currently expected in late 2021 or early 2022.
Exploitation Drilling Update. Following the success of our first exploitation horizontal well in the Mission Canyon interval at Cedar Creek Anticline at the end of 2017, we successfully completed two additional Mission Canyon wells in the first half of 2018, one near the end of the first quarter and another early in the second quarter of 2018. These first three wells had a combined 30-day initial production rate of over 3,000 gross barrels of oil per day. Drilling in the Mission Canyon interval paused throughout the second quarter to comply with Bureau of Land Management and state wildlife stipulations, with the next well expected to be spud in late-August or early-September 2018. During the second quarter of 2018, we successfully completed our first well in the Perry Sand interval at Tinsley Field in Mississippi, with better than expected deliverability and an initial 30-day gross production rate (constrained by artificial lift equipment) of approximately 150 barrels of oil per day. For 2018, we have allocated $30 to $40 million of our 2018 capital budget to exploitation drilling across our company-wide portfolio of assets. We have seven additional Mission Canyon wells planned for the second half of 2018, and we plan to drill a well in the Powder River Basin at Hartzog Draw Field to test the prospectivity of deeper intervals on our acreage, which is held by Hartzog Draw unit production, as well as testing the Cotton Valley interval at Tinsley Field.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Overview. Our primary sources of capital and liquidity are our cash flowflows from operations and availability of borrowing capacity under our senior secured bank credit facility. For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we generated cash flow from operations of $245.6$119.2 million, afterbefore giving effect to $14.0$54.8 million of cash outflows for working capital changes, which were impacted primarily by increasing revenues during 2018resulted in total cash flow from operations of $64.4 million. We typically have our highest level of working capital outflows in the first quarter of each year due to risingpayments in the first quarter for accrued compensation and accrued ad valorem tax payments. Also, this quarter we had a $21.6 million increase in our accrued production receivable primarily due to a higher realized oil prices.
price in March 2019 as compared to December 2018. These working capital outflows in the first quarter were the primary reason for the reduction in our cash balance from $38.6 million at December 31, 2018 to $5.7 million at March 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had $415.0 million drawnno outstanding borrowings on our $615 million senior secured bank credit facility, compared to $475.0 million of borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and $450.0 million as of March 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, we therefore had $572.8leaving us with $560.5 million of borrowing base availability after consideration of $62.2$54.5 million of currently outstanding letters of credit.
Denbury Resources Inc.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We have historically tried to limit our development capital spending to be roughly the same as, or less than, our cash flow from operations, and we currently expect that 2018our 2019 cash flowflows from operations willare currently expected to well exceed our planned $300$240 million to $325$260 million of development capital expenditures for the year. We believe the $572.8 million
As an additional source of potential liquidity, available under our bank credit facility at June 30, 2018 is sufficient to cover any excess working capital needs or any foreseeable cash flow shortfall between our cash flow from operations and capital spending. The Company may also enhance its available liquidity or raise funds through asset sales, joint ventures, or issuance of debt and/or equity. For example, the Company has been engaged in two asset sale processes. In mid-2017,the first process, we begancontinue to actively market for sale certain non-producingapproximately 4,000 acres of surface acreageland with no active oil and gas operations in the Houston area. The acreage contains numerous parcels,We remain focused on a strategy that we believe will ultimately yield the highest value for the land, and we currently anticipateexpect most of that a portionvalue to be realized over the next couple of these sales will occur in 2018, with the remainder extending into 2019. Further, in Februaryyears. During 2018, we initiated a saleconsummated approximately $5 million of land sales and currently have signed agreements for another $9 million that we expect to close in 2019. In the second process, for ourin early 2018 we began the process of portfolio optimization through the marketing of mature EOR properties located in Mississippi and Louisiana and Citronelle Field located in Alabama. In aggregate, these fields accountedAlabama, and completed the sale of Lockhart Crossing Field for 12%net proceeds of our second$4.1 million during the third quarter 2018 production and approximately 7% of our 2017 year-end proved reserves.2018. The success, timingpace and outcome of these processesany sales of the remaining assets cannot be predicted at this time, but their successful completion could provide funds to pay down debt or addadditional liquidity for financial or operational uses.
WeOver the last several years, we have been keenly focused on reducing leverage and improving the Company’s financial condition. In total, we have reduced our outstanding debt principal by approximately $1.1over $1.0 billion between December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, primarily through debt exchanges, opportunistic open market debt repurchases, and the conversion in the second quarter of 2018 of all of our outstanding convertible senior notes into common stock. The improvement in oil prices, our business and the market price of our debt securities has reduced our opportunity for additional exchange transactions, but we remain focused on continued efforts to improve the Company’s balance sheet, both in terms of overall debt reduction and extension of debt maturities. We also remain keenly focused on continuing to improve our overall leverage metrics. Our leverage metrics have improved considerably over the past year, due primarily to our cost reduction efforts, continued improvement in oil prices and our overall reduction in debt. In conjunction with our continuing efforts to improve the Company’s balance sheet, we plan to assess, and may have discussions with bondholders from time to time regardingengage in, potential debt reduction and/or maturity extension transactions of various types. Potential transactions could include purchases oftypes, with a primary focus initially on our 2021 debt in the open market, debt exchange offers, cash tenders for our debt, possible debt reduction with proceeds of issuances of equity or debt, or use of proceeds from asset sales, joint ventures or other cash-generating activities for debt reduction.maturities.
Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility. In December 2014, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Bank Credit Agreement”)., which has been amended periodically since that time. The Bank Credit Agreement is a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of December 9, 2021, provided that the maturity date may occur earlier (between February 2021 and August 2021) if the 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due in May 2021 (the “2021 Senior Secured Notes”) or 6⅜% Senior Subordinated Notes due in August 2021, respectively, are not repaid or refinanced by each of their respective maturity dates. As part of our spring 20182019 semiannual borrowing base redetermination, the borrowing base and lender commitments for our Bank Credit Agreement were reaffirmed at $1.05 billion,$615 million, with the next such redetermination scheduled for November 2018.
At June 30, 2018, the2019. The Bank Credit Agreement containedcontains certain financial performance covenants through the maturity of the facility, including the following:
A Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDAX covenant, with such ratio not to exceed 5.25 to 1.0 through December 31, 2020, and 4.50 to 1.0 thereafter;
A consolidated senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDAX covenant, with such ratio not to exceed 2.5 to 1.0. Currently, onlyOnly debt under our Bank Credit Agreement is considered consolidated senior secured debt for purposes of this ratio;
A minimum permitted ratio of consolidated EBITDAX to consolidated interest charges of 1.25 to 1.0; and
A requirement to maintain a current ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.
Under these financial performance covenant calculations, as of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, our ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDAX was 4.32 to 1.0 (with a maximum permitted ratio of 5.25 to 1.0), our consolidated senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDAX was 0.750.00 to 1.0 (with a maximum permitted ratio of 2.5 to 1.0), our ratio of consolidated EBITDAX to

consolidated interest charges was 3.043.09 to 1.0 (with a required ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0), and our current ratio was 2.983.38 to 1.0 (with a required ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0). Based upon our currently forecasted levels of production and costs, hedges in place as of AugustMay 6, 2018,2019, and current oil commodity futures prices, we currently anticipate continuing to be in compliance with our financial performance covenants during the foreseeable future. Our bank credit facility matures in December 2019, and the Company is actively working with its bank group to complete in the near-term the extension of the facility.

Capital Spending. We currently anticipate that our full-year 2019 capital spending, excluding capitalized interest and acquisitions, will be approximately $240 million to $260 million. Although we currently have no plans to adjust our anticipated capital spending for 2019, we continually evaluate our expected cash flows and capital expenditures throughout the year and could adjust capital expenditures if our cash flows were to meaningfully change. Capitalized interest is currently estimated at between $30 million and $40 million for 2019. The 2019 capital budget, excluding capitalized interest and acquisitions, provides for approximate spending as follows:
$100 million allocated for tertiary oil field expenditures;
$70 million allocated for other areas, primarily non-tertiary oil field expenditures including exploitation;
| |
• | $30 million to be spent on CO2 sources and pipelines; and |
$50 million for other capital items such as capitalized internal acquisition, exploration and development costs and pre-production tertiary startup costs.
Based upon our currently forecasted levels of production and costs, commodity hedges in place, and current oil commodity futures prices, we intend to fund our development capital spending with cash flow from operations. If prices were to decrease or changes in operating results were to cause a reduction in anticipated 2019 cash flows significantly below our currently forecasted operating cash flows, we would likely reduce our capital expenditures. If we reduce our capital spending due to lower cash flows, any sizeable reduction would likely lower our anticipated production levels in future years.

Recent Debt Reduction Transactions. Through a series of exchange transactions completed in December 2017 and January 2018 and related conversions of all of our convertible senior notes into equity in April and May 2018, we have reduced our outstanding debt principal of our notes by $328.5 million over the last 7 months. See Overview – Recent Debt Reduction Transactions for further discussion.
Capital Spending. We currently anticipate that our full-year 2018 capital budget, excluding capitalized interest and acquisitions, will be approximately $300 million to $325 million. Capitalized interest is currently estimated at approximately $30 million for 2018. The 2018 capital budget, excluding capitalized interest and acquisitions, provides for approximate spending as follows:
$155 million allocated for tertiary oil field expenditures;
$95 million allocated for other areas, primarily non-tertiary oil field expenditures including exploitation;

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our tertiary operations represent a significant portion of our overall operations and are our primary long-term strategic focus. The economics of a tertiary field and the related impact on our financial statements differ from a conventional oil and gas play, and we have outlined certain of these differences in our Form 10-K and other public disclosures. Our focus on these types of operations impacts certain trends in both current and long-term operating results. Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Overview of Tertiary Operations in our Form 10-K for further information regarding these matters.

(3) | Noncash fair value gains (losses)losses on commodity derivatives is a non-GAAP measure and is different from “Commodity derivatives expense (income)”expense” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in that the noncash fair value gains (losses)losses on commodity derivatives represent only the net changes between periods of the fair market values of commodity derivative positions, and exclude the impact of settlements on commodity derivatives during the period, which were paymentsreceipts on settlements of $54.8 million and $88.1$8.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively,March 31, 2019 compared to payments on settlements of $11.8 million and $38.7$33.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.March 31, 2018. We believe that noncash fair value gains (losses)losses on commodity derivatives is a useful supplemental disclosure to “Commodity derivatives expense (income)”expense” in order to differentiate noncash fair market value adjustments from receipts or payments upon settlements on commodity derivatives during the period. This supplemental disclosure is widely used within the industry and by securities analysts, banks and credit rating agencies in calculating EBITDA and in adjusting net income (loss) to present those measures on a comparative basis across companies, as well as to assess compliance with certain debt covenants. Noncash fair value gains (losses)losses on commodity derivatives is not a measure of financial or operating performance under GAAP, nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for “Commodity derivatives expense (income)”expense” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. |

increase in production was due principally to higher production from the redevelopment project in mid-2017 at Hastings Field, production response from continued expansion at Bell Creek Field, and a full quarter of production from the mid-2017 acquisition at Salt Creek Field.
Production from our non-tertiary operations averaged 23,480 BOE/d during the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 1,852 BOE/d (9%) compared to the first quarter of 2018 and an increase of 415 BOE/d (2%) compared to the second quarter of 2017. The sequential quarter increase was primarily due to production increases at Cedar Creek Anticline, which benefited from the strong performance of two new Mission Canyon wells completed during March and April of 2018, and in part to a well recompletion at Webster Field, as well as higher production in the Gulf Coast region in the most recent quarter given weather downtime which impacted production in the first quarter of 2018.
We currently expect third quarter production to be below second quarter levels, mainly due to the second quarter pause in drilling new Mission Canyon wells, unplanned downtime during the third quarter at Cedar Creek Anticline and Oyster Bayou, and the seasonal effect of summer temperatures on a few of our Gulf Coast floods. We expect production to rebound in the fourth quarter, with several new Mission Canyon wells coming online, continued response from our EOR development capital projects, and cooler Gulf Coast temperatures, with our full-year 2018 production still expected to average between 60,000 and 64,000 BOE/d.
Oil and Natural Gas Revenues

Prices received in a regional market fluctuate frequently and can differ from NYMEX pricing due to a variety of reasons, including supply and/or demand factors, crude oil quality, and location differentials. Our corporate-wide oil differential during the second quarter of 2018 was $0.39 per Bbl above NYMEX prices, compared to an average differential of $1.16 per Bbl below NYMEX in the second quarter of 2017 and $1.29 per Bbl above NYMEX in the first quarter of 2018. Additional information about our oil differentials in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions are discussed in further detail below.
Gulf Coast Region. Our average NYMEX oil differential in the Gulf Coast region was a positive $1.12$4.26 per Bbl and a negative $0.78 per Bbl during the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively, and a positive $2.05 per Bbl during the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and a positive $5.34 per Bbl during the fourth quarter of 2018. TheseGenerally, our Gulf Coast region differentials are impacted significantly bypositive to NYMEX and highly correlated to the changes in prices received for ourof Light Louisiana Sweet crude oil, sold under LLS index prices relative towhich have generally strengthened over the change in NYMEX prices, as well as various other price adjustments such as those noted above. The average LLS-to-NYMEX differential (on a trade-month basis) averaged a positive $3.32 per Bbl in the second quarter of 2018, an increase from the positive $1.95 per Bbl in the second quarter of 2017 and a decrease from the positive $4.12 per Bbl in the first quarter of 2018. During the second quarter of 2018, we sold approximately 60% of our crude oil at prices based on, or partially tied to, the LLS index price, and the balance at prices based on various other indexes tied to NYMEX prices, primarily in the Rocky Mountain region.past year.
Rocky Mountain Region. NYMEX oil differentials in the Rocky Mountain region averaged $0.84$2.56 per Bbl and $1.96 per Bbl below NYMEX during the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $0.06 per Bbl below NYMEX during the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $4.31 per Bbl below NYMEX during the fourth quarter of 2018. Differentials in the Rocky Mountain region can fluctuate significantly on a month-to-month basis due to weather, refinery or transportation issues, and Canadian and U.S. crude oil price index volatility.

Based on current contracts in place and NYMEX oil futures prices as of AugustMay 6, 2018,2019, which averaged approximately $68$62 per Bbl, we currently expect that we would make cash payments of approximately $110$15 million during the remainder of 20182019 upon settlement of thesethe 2019 contracts, the amount of which is dependent upon fluctuations in future NYMEX oil prices in relation to the prices of our 2019 fixed-price swaps which have weighted average prices of $51.69$59.05 per Bbl and $60.18$64.69 per Bbl for NYMEX and LLS hedges, respectively, and weighted average ceiling prices of our 2019 three-way collars of $53.88$69.40 per Bbl.Bbl and $79.93 per Bbl for NYMEX and LLS hedges, respectively.

Our lease operating expenses during the current-year periodsperiod were primarily impacted by operating expenses related to our non-operated working interest in Salt Creek Field, which was acquired in June 2017 and has a higher per-BOE operating cost than our corporate average. Lease operating expenses were also impacted by higher CO2 expense due to increases in oil prices and an increase in powerinjection volumes and fuelnew floods and expansion areas moving into the production stage, resulting in costs partially offset by lower workover expense duringbeing expensed versus capitalized, as well as an increase in contract labor primarily at CCA. Compared to the current year periods. Sequentially,fourth quarter of 2018, lease operating expenses slightly increaseddecreased $3.0 million (2%) on an absolute-dollar basis primarily due to lower workover expense, but decreased $0.46 (2%)remained relatively flat on a per-BOE basis betweendue to slightly lower oil production in the first quarter of 2018 and the second quarter of 2018 due to higher production volumes.2019.
Currently, our CO2 expense comprises approximately 20%25% of our typical tertiary lease operating expenses, and for the CO2 reserves we already own, consists of CO2 production expenses, and for the CO2 reserves we do not own, consists of our purchase of CO2 from royalty and working interest owners and industrial sources. During the secondfirst quarters of 2019 and 2018, approximately 56% and 2017, approximately 49% and 58%54%, respectively, of the CO2 utilized in our CO2 floods consisted of CO2 owned and produced by us (our net revenue interest). The price we pay others for CO2 varies by source and is generally indexed to oil prices. When combining the production cost of the CO2 we own with what we pay third parties for CO2, our average cost of CO2 was approximately $0.44$0.39 per Mcf during the secondfirst quarter of 20182019, including taxes paid on CO2 production but excluding depletion, depreciation and amortization of capital expended at our CO2 source fields and industrial sources. This per-Mcf CO2 cost during the secondfirst quarter of 20182019 was higherconsistent with the first quarter of 2018, but lower than the $0.38$0.42 per Mcf comparable measure during the second quarter of 2017 and $0.39 per Mcf comparable measure during the firstfourth quarter of 2018, due to an increase inas the price of CO2 due to higher oil prices and aprevious quarter included certain pipeline maintenance costs, as well as higher utilization of industrial-sourced CO2, in our Gulf Coast region, which has a higher average cost than our naturally-occurring CO2 sources.
Marketing and Plant Operating Expenses
Marketing and plant operating expenses primarily consist of amounts incurred relating to the marketing, processing, and transportation of oil and natural gas production. Marketing and plant operating expenses were $11.5$12.0 million and $13.9$12.4 million for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, and $24.0 million and $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Our grossnet G&A expenses on an absolute-dollar basis decreased $8.6$1.3 million (12%(6%), or $0.18 (5%) and $20.1 million (14%)on a per-BOE basis, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively,March 31, 2019 compared to the same periodsperiod in 2017,2018, primarily due to lower employee-related costs such as salaries and long-term incentives during the 2018 period following the August 2017 involuntary workforce reduction.
Net G&A expenseCompany’s continued focus on a per-BOE basis decreased 27% and 28% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to levels in the same periods in 2017 due to the items previously mentioned impacting gross G&A during the 2018 periods, partially offset by lower capitalized exploration and development costs.cost reduction efforts.
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. In addition, salaries associated with field personnel are initially recorded as gross cash compensation and administrative costs and subsequently reclassified to lease operating expenses or capitalized to field development costs to the extent those individuals are dedicated to oil and gas production, exploration, and development activities.

As reflected in the table above, cash interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $1.3 million (3%) when compared to the prior-year period due primarily to an increase in our weighted-average interest rate. Despite an overall reduction in the debt principal balance as a result of the conversion of our previously outstanding 2024 Convertible Senior Notes and 2023 Convertible Senior Notes into shares of Denbury common stock in the second quarter of 2018, our average interest rate increased between the first quarter of 2018 and 2019 as the interest rate on the 7½% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2024 issued in August 2018 was higher than the interest rate on our previously outstanding borrowings on our senior secured bank credit facility.
Capitalized interest during the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $2.1 million (25%) compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to an increase in the number of projects that qualify for interest capitalization.
Future interest payable related to our 2021 Senior Secured Notes and 2022 Senior Secured Notes is accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructuring by Debtors, whereby most of the future interest was recorded as debt as of the transaction date, which will be reduced as semiannual interest payments are made. Future interest payable recorded as debt totaled $250.2 million as of March 31, 2019. Therefore, interest expense reflected in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements will be significantly lower than the actual cash interest payment.

As reflected in the table above, net interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $7.9 million (33%) and $17.8 million (35%), respectively, when compared to the prior-year periods due primarily to the series of exchange transactions completed during 2017 and 2018 (see Overview – Recent Debt Reduction Transactions). Despite an overall reduction in the debt principal balance as a result of the exchange transactions, our average interest rate increased between the second quarter of 2017 and 2018 as the combined interest payments on the senior secured and convertible senior notes was higher than the previously issued senior subordinated notes. As more fully described in Note 4, Long-Term Debt, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the exchange transactions were accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructuring by Debtors, whereby most of the future interest associated with the 2021 Senior Secured Notes, 2022 Senior Secured Notes, 2023 Convertible Senior Notes and 2024 Convertible Senior Notes was recorded as debt as of the transaction date, which will be reduced as semiannual interest payments are made. During the second quarter of 2018, the debt principal balance and future interest applicable to the 2024 Convertible Senior Notes and 2023 Convertible Senior Notes, respectively, were reclassified to “Paid-in capital in excess of par” and “Common stock” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets upon the conversion of those notes into shares of Denbury common stock (see Overview – Recent Debt Reduction Transactions).The conversion of these notes saves the Company annual cash interest payments of $5.9 million. Future interest payable related to our senior secured second lien notes recorded as debt totaled $292.6 million as of June 30, 2018. Therefore, interest expense reflected in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements will be significantly lower than the actual cash interest payment. Capitalized interest during the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $4.5 million (35%) compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to an increase in the number of projects that qualify for interest capitalization.

The increase in our oil and natural gas properties depletion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily due to an increase in depletable costs associated with our reserves base, partially offset by an increase in proved oil and natural gas reserve quantities. Total DD&A per BOE was also impacted by increases in production volumes during 2018 when compared to production in the 2017 periods.

We evaluate our estimated annual effective income tax rate based on current and forecasted business results and enacted tax laws on a quarterly basis and apply this tax rate to our ordinary income or loss to calculate our estimated tax liability or benefit. Our income taxes are based on an estimated statutory rate of approximately 25% in 2019 and 38% in 2018 and 2017, respectively, due to a reduction of the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% as enacted by the Tax Cut and Jobs Act in December 2017.2018. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2019 was higher than our estimated statutory rate, primarily due to establishment of a valuation allowance against a portion of our business interest expense deduction that we estimate will be disallowed in the impactcurrent year. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“The Act”), which was enacted on December 22, 2017, revised the rules regarding the deductibility of alternative minimumbusiness interest expense by limiting that deduction to 30% of adjusted taxable income (as defined), with disallowed amounts being carried forward to future taxable years. Based on our evaluation, using information existing as of the balance sheet date, of the near-term ability to utilize the tax credit usage duringbenefits associated with our 2019 disallowed business interest expense, we have established a valuation allowance through our annual estimated effective income tax rate for that quarter, andportion of our 2019 business interest expense that is currently expected to exceed the allowed limitation under The Act. Our effective tax rate for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 differed from our estimated statutory rate, primarily due to the impact of a tax shortfall on a stock-based compensation deduction (tax deduction less than book expense recognized)shortfall of $3.8$1.2 million.
The current income tax benefits for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, represent theamounts estimated to be receivable resulting from alternative minimum tax credits.credits and certain state tax obligations.
As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had an estimated $51.5amounts available for carry forward of $57.8 million of enhanced oil recovery credits to carry forward related to our tertiary operations, $21.6 million of research and development credits, and $10.1$18.1 million of alternative minimum tax credits. The alternative minimum tax credits (net of $10.2 million related to the estimated credits to be applied to our 2018 tax return), which under the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, will beare fully refundable by 2021.2021 and are recorded as a receivable on the balance sheet. The enhanced oil recovery credits and research and development credits do not begin to expire until 2024 and 2031, respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Debt and Interest Rate Sensitivity
We finance some of our acquisitions and other expenditures with fixed and variable rate debt. These debt agreements expose us to market risk related to changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, we had $415.0 million of debtdid not have any outstanding borrowings on our senior secured bank credit facility. At this level of variable-rate debt, an increase or decrease of 10% in interest rates would have an immaterial effect on our interest expense. None of our existing debt has any triggers or covenants regarding our debt ratings with rating agencies, although under the NEJD financing lease, in light of credit downgrades in February 2016, we were required to provide a $41.3 million letter of credit to the lessor, which we provided on March 4, 2016. The letter of credit may be drawn upon in the event we fail to make a payment due under the pipeline financing lease agreement or upon other specified defaults set out in the pipeline financing lease agreement (filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 5, 2008). The fair values of our senior secured second lien notes and senior subordinated notes are based on quoted market prices. The following table presents the principal and fair values of our outstanding debt as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

See Note 4, Long-Term Debt, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding our long-term debt.
Commodity Derivative Contracts
We enter into oil derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil production and to provide more certainty to our future cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Generally, these contracts have consisted of various combinations of price floors, collars, three-way collars, fixed-price swaps, fixed-price swaps enhanced with a sold put, and basis swaps. The production that we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt, financial strength, and expectation of future commodity prices. In order to provide a level of price protection to a portion of our oil production, we have hedged a portion of our estimated oil production through 20192020 using both NYMEX and LLS fixed-price swaps and three-way collars. Depending on market conditions, we may continue to add to our existing 2019 and 2020 hedges. See also Note 5, Commodity Derivative Contracts, and Note 6, Fair Value Measurements, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our commodity derivative contracts.
All of the mark-to-market valuations used for our commodity 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 senior secured bank credit facility (or affiliates of such lenders). We have included an estimate of nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement of our commodity 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 treatment to our commodity derivative contracts. This means that any changes in the fair value of these commodity derivative contracts will be charged to earnings instead of charging the effective portion to other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion to earnings.
At June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, our commodity derivative contracts were recorded at their fair value, which was a net liabilityasset of $156.0$5.7 million, a $41.5$91.6 million increasedecrease from the $114.5$97.3 million net liability recorded at March 31, 2018, and a $56.9 million increase from the $99.1 million net liabilityasset recorded at December 31, 2017.2018. These changes are primarily related to the expiration of commodity derivative contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, new commodity derivative
contracts entered into during 20182019 for future periods, and to the changes in oil futures prices between December 31, 20172018 and June 30, 2018March 31, 2019.
Commodity Derivative Sensitivity Analysis
Based on NYMEX and LLS crude oil futures prices as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, and assuming both a 10% increase and decrease thereon, we would expect to receive or make payments on our crude oil derivative contracts as shown in the following table:
| | | | Receipt / (Payment) | | Receipt / (Payment) |
In thousands | | Crude Oil Derivative Contracts | | Crude Oil Derivative Contracts |
Based on: | | | | |
Futures prices as of June 30, 2018 | | $ | (140,111 | ) | |
Futures prices as of March 31, 2019 | | | $ | 872 |
|
10% increase in prices | | (218,417 | ) | | (35,780 | ) |
10% decrease in prices | | (80,045 | ) | | 69,387 |
|
Our commodity derivative contracts are used as an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future production. As a result, changes in receipts or payments of our commodity derivative contracts due to changes in commodity prices as reflected in the above table would be mostly offset by a corresponding increase or decrease in the cash receipts on sales of our oil production to which those commodity derivative contracts relate.
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 our 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 management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, that it is processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that information that is required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
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 secondfirst quarter of fiscal 20182019, 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.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and 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 business or finances, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Although a single or multiple adverse rulings or settlements could possibly have a material adverse effect on our business or finances, we onlyWe accrue for losses from litigation and claims if we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Riley Ridge Helium Supply Contract Claim
As part of our 2010 and 2011 acquisitions of the Riley Ridge Unit and associated gas processing facility that was under construction, the Company assumed a 20-year helium supply contract under which we agreed to supply the helium separated from the full well stream by operation of the gas processing facility to a third-party purchaser, APMTG Helium, LLC.LLC (“APMTG”). The helium supply contract provides for the delivery of a minimum contracted quantity of helium, subject to adjustment after startup of the Riley Ridge gas processing facility, with liquidated damages payable if specified quantities of helium are not supplied in accordance with the terms of the contract. The liquidated damages are specified in the contract at up to $8.0 million per contract year and are capped at an aggregate of $46.0 million over the term of the contract.
As the gas processing facility has been shut-in since mid-2014 due to significant technical issues, we have not been able to supply helium under the helium supply contract. APMTG Helium, LLC filedIn a case filed in November 2014 in the Ninth Judicial District Court of Sublette County, Wyoming, claimingAPMTG claimed multiple years of liquidated damages for non-delivery of volumes of helium specified under the helium supply contract. The Company’s position isCompany claimed that ourits contractual obligations arewere excused by virtue of events that fall within the force majeure provisions in the helium supply contract. The evidentiary phase
On March 11, 2019, the trial court entered a final judgment that a force majeure condition did exist, but the Company’s performance was excused by the force majeure provisions of the trial concluded on November 29, 2017. The parties submitted written closing briefscontract for only a 35-day period in 2014, and rebuttal briefsas a result the Company should pay APMTG liquidated damages and interest thereon for those time periods from contract commencement to the District Court during February and Aprilclose of 2018. We currently expect a ruling fromevidence (November 29, 2017) when the District CourtCompany’s performance was not excused as provided in the contract.
The Company’s position continues to be made during 2018.that its contractual obligations have been and continue to be excused by events that fall within the force majeure provisions in the helium supply contract. On April 5, 2019, the Company filed a motion for amendment of judgment with the trial court requesting that the trial court amend certain of its findings of fact and conclusions of law with respect to the Company’s claims that a force majeure event excused the Company’s performance for a specified period of time after contract commencement. The Company plansintends to continue to vigorously defend its position but we are unableand pursue all of its rights, including its right to predictappeal any portion of the trial court’s ruling to the Wyoming Supreme Court, the timing and results of which cannot be predicted at this timetime.
Subject to the outcomeCompany’s motion for amendment of this dispute.judgment, and absent reversal of the trial court’s factual or legal conclusions on appeal (the timing of which is currently unpredictable), the Company anticipates total liquidated damages would equal the $46.0 million aggregate cap under the helium supply contract (including $14.2 million of liquidated damages for the contract years ending July 31, 2018 and July 31, 2019) plus $3.8 million of associated costs through March 31, 2019, for a total of $49.8 million, which the Company has included in “Other liabilities” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019.
Environmental Protection Agency Matter Concerning Citronelle and OtherCertain Fields
The Company haspreviously entered into a series of tolling agreements (effective through October 31, 2018) with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), and has been in discussions with the agency over the past several years regarding the EPA’s contention that it has causes of action under the Clean Water Act (“CWA”) related to releases (principally between 2008 and 2013) of oil and produced water containing small amounts of oil in the Citronelle Field in southern Alabama and several fields in Mississippi. The EPA has taken the position that these releases were in violation of the CWA. Discussions are focused
In April 2019, the discussions concluded and the parties reached agreement on a proposed Consent Decree among the Company, the United States, and the State of Mississippi resolving the allegations of CWA violations. The proposed Consent Decree was lodged in U.S. District Court in Mississippi for a 30-day public comment period and will become effective only upon actions taken orthe District Court entering the Consent Decree as a judgment of the court. If approved, the Consent Decree would require the Company to be taken by
Denbury includingResources Inc.
pay civil penalties totaling $3.5 million in the aggregate to the United States and the State of Mississippi, to implement enhancements to the Company’s mechanical integrity program designed to minimize the occurrence and impact of any future releases in these fields.
Based upon recent discussionsat the Mississippi fields, and to perform other relief such as enhanced training and reporting requirements with the EPA, the Company currently anticipates that in the next several months it will reach agreement with the EPA as to a consent decree regarding the EPA’s claims, which consent decree will likely provide for a monetary fine as a civil penalty. The Company anticipates that any civil penalty to which it would agree would not be materialrespect to the Company’s business or financial condition.Mississippi fields.
