DYCO OIL AND GAS PROGRAM 1981-2 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
(Unaudited)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-------------------
The balance sheet as of March 31, 1998, statements of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, and statements of cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 have been prepared by
Dyco Petroleum Corporation ("Dyco"), the General Partner of the Dyco Oil
and Gas Program 1981-2 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 March 31, 1998, results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 1998 and 1997, and changes in cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 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 March 31, 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
5
<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 March 31, 1998 and 1997 the
Program incurred such expenses totaling $23,443 and $25,279, respectively,
of which $11,988 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.
The receivable from the General Partner at March 31, 1998 represents
proceeds due to the Program from the sale of oil and gas properties to
third parties during the first quarter of 1998. Subsequent to March 31,
1998, this receivable was collected by the Program.

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.
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.
7
<PAGE>
The Program's Statement of Cash Flows for the first quarter of 1998
includes proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties during the three
months ended March 31, 1998. These proceeds will be reflected, as
applicable, in the Program's cash distributions, if any, to be paid in
June 1998. It is possible that the Program's repurchase values and future
cash distributions could decline as a result of the disposition of these
properties. On the other hand, the General Partner believes there will be
beneficial operating efficiencies related to the Program's remaining
properties. This is primarily due to the fact that the properties sold
generally bore a higher ratio of operating expenses as compared to
reserves than the Program's remaining properties.
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 in 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. In addition, such spot market sales are generally short-term
in nature and are dependent upon the obtaining of transportation services
provided by pipelines. Management is unable to predict whether future oil
and gas prices will (i) stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1997.
Three Months Ended March 31,
----------------------------
1998 1997
------- --------
Oil and gas sales $75,712 $172,694
Oil and gas production expenses $30,583 $ 38,837
Barrels produced 257 354
Mcf produced 37,331 64,056
Average price/Bbl $ 12.58 $ 19.78
Average price/Mcf $ 1.94 $ 2.59
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales decreased $96,982
(56.2%) for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Of this decrease, approximately $69,000 was
related to a decrease in volumes of gas sold and approximately
8
<PAGE>
$24,000 was related to a decrease in the average price of gas sold.
Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 97 barrels and 26,725 Mcf,
respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the
three months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease in volumes of gas sold
resulted primarily from the Program receiving in 1998 a reduced percentage
of sales due to the Program's overproduced position on one significant
well. Average oil and gas prices decreased to $12.58 per barrel and $1.94
per Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
$19.78 per barrel and $2.59 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months
ended March 31, 1997.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $8,254 (21.3%) for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. This
decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in production taxes associated
with the decrease in oil and gas sales during the three months ended March
31, 1998 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. As a
percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to 40.4% for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from 22.5% for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. This percentage increase was primarily due to the
decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold discussed above.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $14,943 (65.5%) for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. This decrease resulted
primarily from (i) decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold during the
three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and (ii) an increase in the gas price used in the valuation
of reserves for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the
three months ended March 31, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales,
this expense decreased to 10.4% for the three months ended March 31, 1998
from 13.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This percentage
decrease was primarily due to the dollar decrease in depreciation,
depletion, and amortization discussed above.
General and administrative expenses decreased $1,836 (7.3%) for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the three months ended March
31, 1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased
to 31.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 14.6% for the
three months ended March 31, 1997. This percentage increase was primarily
due to the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed above.
