DYCO OIL AND GAS PROGRAM 1981-1 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-------------------
The balance sheet as of September 30, 1998, statements of operations for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, and
statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997 have been prepared by Dyco Petroleum Corporation ("Dyco"), the
General Partner of the Dyco Oil and Gas Program 1981-1 Limited Partnership
(the "Program"), without audit. In the opinion of management all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position at September 30, 1998, results of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997, and changes in cash flows for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 and 1997 have been made.
Information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Program's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1997. The results of operations for the period
ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
----------------------
Oil and gas operations are accounted for using the full cost method of
accounting. All productive and non-productive costs associated with the
acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are
capitalized. The Program's calculation of depreciation, depletion, and
amortization includes estimated future expenditures to be incurred in
developing proved reserves and estimated dismantlement and abandonment
costs, net of estimated salvage values. In the event the unamortized cost
of oil and gas properties being amortized exceeds the full cost ceiling
(as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission), the excess is
charged to expense in the period during which such excess occurs. Sales
and abandonments of
6
<PAGE>
properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no
gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter
the relationship between capitalized costs and proved oil and gas
reserves.
The provision for depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties is calculated by dividing the oil and gas sales dollars during
the period by the estimated future gross income from the oil and gas
properties and applying the resulting rate to the net remaining costs of
oil and gas properties that have been capitalized, plus estimated future
development costs.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
---------------------------------
Under the terms of the Program's partnership agreement, Dyco is entitled
to receive a reimbursement for all direct expenses and general and
administrative, geological and engineering expenses it incurs on behalf of
the Program. During the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 the
Program incurred such expenses totaling $14,793 and $16,248, respectively,
of which $12,513 was paid each period to Dyco and its affiliates. During
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 the Program incurred
such expenses totaling $54,513 and $60,451, respectively, of which $37,539
was paid each period to Dyco and its affiliates.
Affiliates of the Program operate certain of the Program's properties.
Their policy is to bill the Program for all customary charges and cost
reimbursements associated with these activities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
USE OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
- -----------------------------------------------
This Quarterly Report contains certain forward-looking statements. The
words "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "plan", "intend", "estimate",
"project", "could", "may" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect management's current
views with respect to future events and financial performance. This
Quarterly Report also includes certain information, which is, or is based
upon, estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions are
management's efforts to accurately reflect the condition and operation of
the Program.
Use of forward-looking statements and estimates and assumptions involve
risks and uncertainties which include, but are not limited to, the
volatility of oil and gas prices, the uncertainty of reserve information,
the operating risk associated with oil and gas properties (including the
risk of personal injury, death, property damage, damage to the well or
producing reservoir, environmental contamination, and other operating
risks), the prospect of changing tax and regulatory laws, the availability
and capacity of processing and transportation facilities, the general
economic climate, the supply and price of foreign imports of oil and gas,
the level of consumer product demand, and the price and availability of
alternative fuels. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
occur or should estimates or underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual conditions or results may vary materially and adversely from those
stated, anticipated, believed, estimated, and otherwise indicated.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Net proceeds from the Program's operations less necessary operating
capital are distributed to investors on a quarterly basis. The net
proceeds from production are not reinvested in productive assets, except
to the extent that producing wells are improved or where methods are
employed to permit more efficient recovery of the Program's reserves which
would result in a positive economic impact.
8
<PAGE>
The Program's available capital from subscriptions has been spent on oil
and gas drilling activities. There should not be any further material
capital resource commitments in the future. The Program has no debt
commitments. Cash for operational purposes will be provided by current oil
and gas production.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
GENERAL DISCUSSION
The following general discussion should be read in conjunction with the
analysis of results of operations provided below. The most important
variable affecting the Program's revenues is the prices received for the
sale of oil and gas. Predicting future prices is very difficult.
Substantially all of the Program's gas reserves are being sold on the
"spot market". Prices on the spot market are subject to wide seasonal and
regional pricing fluctuations due to the highly competitive nature of the
spot market. Such spot market sales are generally short-term in nature and
are dependent upon the obtaining of transportation services provided by
pipelines. In addition, crude oil prices are at or near their lowest level
in the past decade due primarily to the global surplus of crude oil.
Management is unable to predict whether future oil and gas prices will (i)
stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997.
Three Months Ended September 30,
--------------------------------
1998 1997
------- -------
Oil and gas sales $53,237 $29,425
Oil and gas production expenses $ 7,120 $ 9,749
Barrels produced 4 55
Mcf produced 27,866 19,082
Average price/Bbl $ 13.50 $ 19.31
Average price/Mcf $ 1.91 $ 1.49
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales increased $23,812
(80.9%) for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1997. Of this increase, approximately
$13,000 was related to an increase in the volumes of gas sold and
approximately $12,000 was related to an increase in the average price of
gas sold. Volumes of oil sold decreased 51 barrels, while volumes of gas
sold increased 8,784 Mcf, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in
9
<PAGE>
volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from the curtailment of sales
during the three months ended September 30, 1997 on one significant well
due to the Program's overproduced position in that well. Average oil
prices decreased to $13.50 per barrel for the three months ended September
30, 1998 from $19.31 per barrel for the three months ended September 30,
1997. Average gas prices increased to $1.91 per Mcf for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 from $1.49 per Mcf for the three months ended
September 30, 1997.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $2,629 (27.0%) for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended September 30,
1997. This decrease resulted primarily from a negative prior period lease
operating expense adjustment by the operator on one well during the three
months ended September 30, 1998. As a percentage of oil and gas sales,
these expenses decreased to 13.4% for the three months ended September 30,
1998 from 33.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This
percentage decrease was primarily due to the dollar decrease in production
expenses and the increase in the average price of gas sold for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1997.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
increased $8,579 (353.0%) for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997. This increase
resulted primarily from (i) the increase in volumes of gas sold during the
three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 1997 and (ii) a decrease in the oil and gas prices
used in the valuation of reserves at September 30, 1998 as compared to
September 30, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense
increased to 20.7% for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from 8.3%
for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage increase
was primarily due to the decrease in the oil and gas prices used in the
valuation of reserves at September 30, 1998 as compared to September 30,
1997.
General and administrative expenses decreased $1,455 (9.0%) for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
decreased to 27.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from
55.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage
decrease was primarily due to the increase in oil and gas sales.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AS COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997.
Nine Months Ended September 30,
-------------------------------
1998 1997
-------- --------
Oil and gas sales $159,317 $146,949
Oil and gas production expenses $ 28,471 $ 54,400
Barrels produced 134 158
Mcf produced 79,633 67,281
Average price/Bbl $ 14.56 $ 19.81
Average price/Mcf $ 1.98 $ 2.14
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales increased $12,368
(8.4%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. Of this increase, approximately
$26,000 was related to an increase in the volumes of gas sold, which was
partially offset by a decrease of approximately $13,000 due to a decrease
in the average price of gas sold. Volumes of oil sold decreased 24 barrels
while volumes of gas sold increased 12,352 Mcf for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1997. The increase in volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from the
curtailment of sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 on
one significant well due to the Program's overproduced position in that
well. Average oil and gas prices decreased to $14.56 per barrel and $1.98
per Mcf, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from
$19.81 per barrel and $2.14 per Mcf, respectively, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $25,929 (47.7%) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1997. This decrease resulted primarily from (i) workover expenses incurred
on one well during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 in order to
improve the recovery of reserves and (ii) the sale of one well during
1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to
17.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 37.0% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage decrease was primarily
due to the dollar decrease in oil and gas production expenses.
11
<PAGE>
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
increased $9,418 (56.3%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase
resulted primarily from (i) the increase in volumes of gas sold during the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and (ii) a decrease in the prices used in the valuation
of oil and gas reserves at September 30, 1998 as compared to September 30,
1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense increased to
16.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 11.4% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage increase was primarily
due to the decrease in the oil and gas prices used in the valuation of
reserves at September 30, 1998 as compared to September 30, 1997.
General and administrative expenses decreased $5,938 (9.8%) for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses
decreased to 34.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 41.1%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This percentage decrease was
primarily due to the dollar decrease in general and administrative
expenses and the increase in oil and gas sales.
