     Denbury Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation,  formerly Denbury Holdings,
Inc.  (the  "Registrant"),  was  organized to enable its  predecessor,  formerly
Denbury  Resources  Inc.,  a Delaware  corporation  ("Predecessor"),  to adopt a
holding  company  organizational  structure in accordance with Section 251(g) of
the Delaware General  Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). In accordance with Rule 414,
the  Registrant,  as the  successor  issuer to the  Predecessor  in the  holding
company  reorganization  described  below,  is filing  this  Amendment  No. 2 to
Registration  Statement   No.333-107676  in  order  to  hereby  expressly  adopt
Registration  Statement  No.  333-107676 on Form S-3 as its own for all purposes
under the Securities  Act and the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Registration  fees  were paid at the time of filing  the  original  Registration
Statement.

     The  purposes  of  creating  the holding  company  structure  are to better
reflect  the  operating  practices  and  methods  of  Denbury,  to  improve  its
economics, and to provide greater administrative and operational flexibility.

     The holding company  organizational  structure was effected  pursuant to an
Agreement  and Plan of Merger to Form Holding  Company (the "Merger  Agreement")
among the  Predecessor,  the Registrant,  and Denbury  Onshore,  LLC, a Delaware
limited  liability  company  and a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the  Registrant
("Onshore").  The Merger  Agreement  provided for the merger of the  Predecessor
into Onshore, with Onshore continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Registrant (the "Merger"). The Merger became effective at 9:00
a.m. EST on December 29, 2003. Prior to the Merger, the Registrant was a direct,
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  the  Predecessor  organized  for  the  purpose  of
implementing the holding company organizational  structure.  Pursuant to Section
251(g) of the DGCL,  stockholder  approval of the Merger was not  required.  The
reorganization was structured so that it is tax-free to Denbury stockholders.

     By virtue of the Merger, all of the Predecessor's  outstanding common stock
was converted,  on a share for share basis, into common stock of the Registrant.
As a  result,  each  stockholder  of the  Predecessor  became  the  owner  of an
identical number of shares of common stock of the Registrant. Additionally, each
treasury share of the  Predecessor was  automatically  converted into a treasury
share of the Registrant. Also, each outstanding option to purchase shares of the
Predecessor's  common  stock  was  automatically  converted  into an  option  to
purchase,  upon the same terms and conditions,  an identical number of shares of
the Registrant's common stock.

     The  conversion  of  shares  of stock in the  Merger  occurred  without  an
exchange of certificates. Accordingly, certificates formerly representing shares
of outstanding  stock of the Predecessor are deemed to represent the same number
of  shares  of stock of the  Registrant.  The  Registrant's  common  stock  will
continue  to be listed on the New York Stock  Exchange  under the  symbol  "DNR"
without  interruption  and  the  Registrant  will  use  the  same  name  as  the
Predecessor, "Denbury Resources Inc."

     In the Merger,  each  stockholder  received  securities  of the same class,
evidencing the same proportional interests in the Registrant and having the same
designations,  rights, powers and preferences,  and qualifications,  limitations
and  restrictions,  as  those  that  the  stockholder  held in the  Predecessor.
Pursuant to Section 251(g) of the DGCL, the  certificate  of  incorporation  and
bylaws of the Registrant contain provisions  substantially identical to those of
the  Predecessor  prior to the Merger.  Also  pursuant to Section  251(g) of the
DGCL, the limited  liability  company  agreement of Onshore contains a provision
that any act or  transaction by or involving  Onshore,  the entity that survived
the merger between it and the Predecessor, other than the election or removal of
managers of Onshore,  (1) that requires for its adoption under Onshore's limited
liability company agreement the approval of its sole member, a new subsidiary of
the Registrant,  Denbury Operating  Company ("OPCO"),  or (2) that would require
the  approval  of the  stockholders  of Onshore if  Onshore  were a  corporation
subject to the DGCL (other than the  election  or removal of  directors),  shall
also require the approval of the stockholders of the Registrant by the same vote
that  is  required  by the  DGCL  and/or  Onshore's  limited  liability  company
agreement.  The authorized  capital stock of the Registrant,  the  designations,
rights,  powers and  preferences  of such capital stock and the  qualifications,
limitations and restrictions  thereof are also substantially  identical to those
of  the  Predecessor's  capital  stock  immediately  prior  to the  Merger.  The
directors and executive  officers of the Registrant are the same individuals who
were  directors  and  executive  officers,   respectively,  of  the  Predecessor
immediately  prior to the Merger.  Following and in connection  with the Merger,
Denbury is restructuring  its downstream  subsidiaries  through which operations
will be conducted.
