                        CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     JUNE 30, 1995
                                      (Unaudited)

          1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
             -------------------

             The balance sheets as of June  30, 1995, statements of operations
             for the three and  six months ended  June 30, 1995 and 1994,  and
             statements of cash flows  for the six months ended June 30,  1995
             and  1994  have  been  prepared  by  Dyco  Petroleum  Corporation
             ("Dyco"),  the General Partner  of the  Dyco Oil  and Gas Program
             1983-2 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  June 30, 1995,  results of  operations for
             the  three  and  six  months ended  June  30, 1995  and  1994 and
             changes in cash flows  for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
             1994 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, 1994.  The results of operations for the
             period ended June 30, 1995 are  not necessarily indicative of the
             results to be expected for the full year.  

             The limited  partners' net income or loss per unit  is based upon
             each $5,000 initial capital contribution.

             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. Sales and abandonments  of
             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  year 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 six months ended
             June  30,  1995  and  1994  such  expenses  totaled  $35,115  and
             $29,523, respectively, of which $21,582 and $21,582 were paid  to
             Dyco.  

             Affiliates  of the Program  are the  operators of  certain of the
             Program's properties and their policy is  to bill the Program for
             all  customary charges  and  cost reimbursements  associated with
             their   activities,   together   with  any   compressor  rentals,
             consulting, or other services provided.

             The  Program sells gas  at market  prices to  Premier Gas Company
             ("Premier"), an affiliated company,  and Premier may  then resell
             such  gas to  third parties  at market  prices.   During  the six
             months ended June 30, 1995 and  1994 these sales totaled  $53,172
             and $96,745, respectively.  At June 30, 1995 accrued oil and  gas
             sales included $22,559 due from Premier.

                   CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


          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 bank debt commitments.  Cash for
               operational purposes will be provided by current oil and gas
               production.


          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ----------------------

               THREE  MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,  1995 AS COMPARED  TO THE THREE
               MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994.
                                                Three months ended June 30, 
                                                --------------------------- 
                                                       1995       1994     
                                                       ----       ----     
                  Oil and gas sales                  $119,860    $81,181   
                  Oil and gas production expenses    $ 33,379    $35,119   
                  Barrels produced                        210        273   
                  Mcf produced                         86,931     46,070   
                  Average price/Bbl                  $  17.70    $ 12.08   
                  Average price/Mcf                  $   1.34    $  1.69   

               As shown in the  table, oil and natural gas  sales increased
               47.6% for the three  months ended June 30, 1995  as compared
               to  the three  months ended  June 30,  1994.   This increase
               resulted  primarily  from  an  increase in  the  volumes  of
               natural gas sold and an increase in the average price of oil
               sold, partially offset by a decrease in the average price of
               natural gas sold during the three months ended June 30, 1995
               as  compared  to  the  three months  ended  June  30,  1994.
               Volumes  of  natural gas  sold  increased  40,861 Mcf  while
               volumes of oil  sold decreased 63  barrels during the  three
               months ended June 30,  1995 as compared to the  three months
               ended June 30, 1994.  The increase in the volumes of natural
               gas sold  was primarily  the result of  significant positive
               prior  period volume adjustments from a  purchaser on a well
               during the three months  ended June 30, 1995 as  compared to
               the three months ended  June 30, 1994.  Average  natural gas

               prices decreased to $1.34 per Mcf for the three months ended
               June 30, 1995 from $1.69 per Mcf  for the three months ended
               June 30, 1994, while average oil prices  increased to $17.70
               per barrel for  the three  months ended June  30, 1995  from
               $12.08 per barrel for the three months ended June 30, 1994.

               Oil and gas  production expenses (including  lease operating
               expenses  and  production taxes)  decreased  $1,740  for the
               three  months ended June 30,  1995 as compared  to the three
               months ended June 30, 1994.  This decrease was primarily the
               result of a  decrease in the general  repair and maintenance
               expenses  incurred by  the Program  during the  three months
               ended  June 30, 1995 as  compared to the  three months ended
               June 30, 1994.  As a  percentage of oil and gas sales, these
               expenses decreased to 27.8% for  the three months ended June
               30,  1995 from  43.3% for  the three  months ended  June 30,
               1994.  This percentage  decrease resulted primarily from the
               increase  in the volumes of natural gas sold associated with
               the  positive prior  period  volume adjustments  during  the
               three  months ended June 30,  1995 as compared  to the three
               months ended June 30, 1994 as discussed above.

               Depreciation,  depletion, and  amortization of  oil  and gas
               properties increased $5,870 for  the three months ended June
               30,  1995 as  compared to  the three  months ended  June 30,
               1994.   This increase was  primarily due to  the increase in
               the  volumes of  natural gas  sold  during the  three months
               ended  June 30, 1995 as  compared to the  three months ended
               June 30, 1994, partially offset by a significant increase in
               the estimate  of the 1983-2 Program's  remaining natural gas
               reserves.   As  a  percentage of  oil  and gas  sales,  this
               expense remained relatively constant  at 19.8% for the three
               months ended June 30,  1995 from 22.0% for the  three months
               ended June 30, 1994.

               General and administrative expenses increased $4,598 for the
               three  months ended June 30,  1995 as compared  to the three
               months ended June  30, 1994.  This  dollar increase resulted
               primarily  from an  increase in  the Program's  professional
               fees during the three months ended June 30, 1995 as compared
               to the three months ended June 30, 1994.  As a percentage of
               oil  and  gas  sales,  these  expenses  remained  relatively
               constant at 13.9% for  the three months ended June  30, 1995
               compared to 14.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1994.

               As shown in the  table, oil and natural gas  sales decreased
               4.0%  for the six months ended June  30, 1995 as compared to
               the six months ended  June 30, 1994.  The  decrease resulted
               from a decrease in the average price of natural gas sold and
               a decrease in the  volumes of oil sold, partially  offset by
               an  increase in  the  volumes of  natural  gas sold  and  an
               increase  in  the average  price of  oil  sold.   Volumes of
               natural  gas sold  increased 30,011  Mcf for the  six months
               ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the six months ended June
               30, 1994, while volumes of oil sold decreased by 300 barrels
               for the six months  ended June 30,  1995 as compared to  the
               six months ended June 30, 1994.  The increase in the volumes
               of natural gas  sold was primarily the result of significant
               positive prior period volume adjustments from a purchaser on
               one  of the Program's wells during the six months ended June
               30, 1995, while the decrease in the volumes of oil  sold was
               primarily  the  result of  a  positive  prior period  volume
               adjustment  from a  purchaser  on another  of the  Program's
               wells  during the six months  ended June 30,  1994.  Average
               natural  gas prices decreased to  $1.32 per Mcf  for the six
               months ended  June 30, 1995  from $1.85 per Mcf  for the six
               months  ended  June  30,  1994,  while  average  oil  prices
               increased to $15.00 per barrel for the six months ended June
               30, 1995 from  $10.17 per  barrel for the  six months  ended
               June 30, 1994.

               Oil and gas  production expenses (including  lease operating
               expenses and production taxes)  decreased $6,532 for the six
               months ended June  30, 1995  as compared to  the six  months
               ended June 30, 1994.  This decrease was primarily the result
               of a decrease in the general repair and maintenance expenses
               incurred by the Program during the six months ended June 30,
               1995 as  compared to the six months ended June 30, 1994.  As
               a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses  decreased
               to  40.4% for the six months ended  June 30, 1995 from 42.7%
               for the six  months ended  June 30, 1994.   This  percentage
               decrease resulted  primarily  from the  dollar  decrease  in
               production expenses  as discussed above and  the increase in
               the average  price  of  oil  sold,  partially  offset  by  a
               decrease in the average price of natural gas sold during the

               six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the six months
               ended June 30, 1994.

               Depreciation,  depletion, and  amortization of  oil and  gas
               properties decreased  $1,396 for  the six months  ended June
               30, 1995 as compared  to the six months ended June 30, 1994.
               This decrease was primarily due to a significant increase in
               the estimate  of the 1983-2 Program's  remaining natural gas
               reserves,  partially offset by an increase in the volumes of
               natural gas sold during  the six months ended June  30, 1995
               as compared  to the six  months ended June  30, 1994.   As a
               percentage  of  oil and  gas  sales,  this expense  remained
               relatively constant  at 19.6% for the six  months ended June
               30, 1995 compared to 19.7% for the six months ended June 30,
               1994.  This expense  stated as a  percentage of oil and  gas
               sales  remained relatively  constant due  to  the offsetting
               effects of  the increase in  the estimate  of the  Program's
               remaining natural reserves and  the increases in the average
               prices of oil and natural gas sold for  the six months ended
               June 30, 1995 as compared to the similar period in 1994.

               General and administrative expenses increased $5,592 for the
               six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the six months
               ended  June  30,  1994.     This  dollar  increase  resulted
               primarily  from an  increase in  the Program's  professional
               fees during the six  months ended June 30, 1995  as compared
               to the six months ended  June 30, 1994.  As a  percentage of
               oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to 21.9% for the
               six months ended June 30, 1995 from 17.7% for the six months
               ended June 30, 1994.  This percentage increase was primarily
               due to  a decrease in the average  price of natural gas sold
               and a decrease in  the volume of oil sold,  partially offset
               by an  increase in  the volumes of  natural gas sold  and an
               increase in the average price of oil sold for the six months
               ended June 30,  1995 as  compared to the  similar period  in
               1994.
