      statements of cash flows for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and
      1999  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 September 30, 2000,  results of
      operations  for the three and nine  months  ended  September  30, 2000 and
      1999,  and changes in cash flows for the nine months ended  September  30,
      2000 and 1999 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, 1999. The results of operations for the period
      ended September 30, 2000 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



                                      -6-
<PAGE>



      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



      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, 2000 and 1999 the
      Program incurred such expenses totaling $14,842 and $12,529, respectively,
      of which $11,805 and $10,791, respectively,  were paid each period to Dyco
      and its  affiliates.  During the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and
      1999 the Program  incurred  such  expenses  totaling  $48,638 and $45,273,
      respectively, of which $35,415 and $32,373,  respectively,  were 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



                                      -8-
<PAGE>



      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.  Management  believes  that  cash  for  ordinary  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
      variables affecting the Program's revenues are the prices received for the
      sale of oil and gas and the volumes of oil and gas produced. The Program's
      production is mainly natural gas, so such pricing and volumes are the most
      significant factors.

      Due to the volatility of oil and gas prices,  forecasting future prices is
      subject to great  uncertainty  and  inaccuracy.  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. It is likewise
      difficult  to  predict  production  volumes.  However,  oil  and  gas  are
      depleting  assets,  so it can be  expected  that  production  levels  will
      decline over time. Recent gas prices have been  significantly  higher than
      the  Program's  historical  average.  This is  attributable  to the higher
      prices for crude oil,  a  substitute  fuel in some  markets,  and  reduced
      production due to lower capital investments in 1998 and 1999.

      Oil and gas sales                            $78,526          $61,276
      Oil and gas production expenses              $22,689          $64,105

      Mcf produced                                  17,370           25,318
      Average price/Bbl                            $     -          $ 20.17
      Average price/Mcf                            $  4.52          $  2.28

      As shown in the table  above,  total oil and gas sales  increased  $17,250
      (28.2%) for the three months ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to the
      three months ended  September  30, 1999. Of this  increase,  approximately
      $39,000 was related to an increase in the average price of gas sold, which
      increase was  partially  offset by decreases of  approximately  $4,000 and
      $18,000,  respectively,  related  to  decreases  in volumes of oil and gas
      sold.  Volumes of oil and gas sold  decreased  175  barrels and 7,948 Mcf,
      respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to
      the three months ended  September 30, 1999. The decrease in volumes of gas
      sold was  primarily due to (i) a decrease in production on one well during
      the three months ended  September 30, 2000 due to plugged  tubing,  (ii) a
      negative prior period volume  adjustment  made by the purchaser on another
      well, and (iii) the Program receiving an increased percentage of sales due
      to gas  balancing on another well during the three months ended  September
      30, 1999. The average oil price was $20.17 per barrel for the



                                      -10-
<PAGE>



      three months ended  September  30, 1999.  Average gas prices  increased to
      $4.52 per Mcf for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $2.28 per
      Mcf for the three months ended September 30, 1999.

      Oil and gas production  expenses  (including lease operating  expenses and
      production  taxes)  decreased  $41,416  (64.6%) for the three months ended
      September  30, 2000 as compared to the three  months ended  September  30,
      1999. This decrease was primarily due to workover expenses incurred on one
      well during the three months ended  September 30, 1999 in order to improve
      the recovery of  reserves.  As a  percentage  of oil and gas sales,  these
      expenses  decreased to 28.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2000
      from 104.6% for the three months ended September 30, 1999. This percentage
      decrease  was  primarily  due to  the  dollar  decrease  in  oil  and  gas
      production expenses and the increase in the average price of gas sold.

      Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization  of oil  and  gas  properties
      decreased  $825 (20.6%) for the three months ended  September  30, 2000 as
      compared to the three months ended  September 30, 1999.  This decrease was
      primarily  due to the  decreases  in  volumes  of oil and gas  sold.  This
      decrease  was  partially  offset  by an  increase  primarily  due  to  the
      decreased  dollar  amount of  depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization
      charged during the third quarter of 1999 which resulted from a significant
      increase in the gas price used in the  valuation of remaining  reserves at
      September  30, 1999 as compared to June 30, 1999.  As a percentage  of oil
      and gas sales,  this expense  decreased to 4.0% for the three months ended
      September  30, 2000 from 6.5% for the three  months  ended  September  30,
      1999. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the dollar decrease in
      depreciation, depletion, and amortization.

      General and administrative expenses increased $2,313 (18.5%) for the three
      months  ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to the three  months  ended
      September  30, 1999.  This  increase was  primarily due to (i) a change in
      allocation  among the  Program and other  affiliated  programs of indirect
      general and administrative  expenses reimbursed to the General Partner and
      (ii)  accounting  review  fees  incurred  during  the three  months  ended
      September 30, 2000 as a result of new ongoing  requirements imposed by the
      Securities and Exchange Commission.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales,
      these



                                      -11-
<PAGE>



      expenses  decreased to 18.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2000
      from 20.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1999.

      Average price/Bbl                           $  29.29         $  15.77
      Average price/Mcf                           $   3.11         $   1.88

      As shown in the table  above,  total oil and gas sales  increased  $64,489
      (47.5%) for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to the
      nine months ended  September  30, 1999.  Of this  increase,  approximately
      $78,000 was related to an increase in the average price of gas sold, which
      increase  was  partially  offset by a  decrease  of  approximately  $8,000
      related to a decrease in volumes of gas sold.  Volumes of oil and gas sold
      decreased  396  barrels and 4,408 Mcf,  respectively,  for the nine months
      ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to the nine months ended  September
      30,  1999.  Average oil and gas prices  increased to $29.29 per barrel and
      $3.11 per Mcf, respectively,  for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
      from  $15.77  per  barrel  and $1.88 per Mcf,  respectively,  for the nine
      months ended September 30, 1999.

      Oil and gas production  expenses  (including lease operating  expenses and
      production  taxes)  decreased  $44,700  (41.7%) for the nine months  ended
      September  30, 2000 as compared to the nine  months  ended  September  30,
      1999. This decrease was primarily due to (i) workover expenses incurred on
      one well  during the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999 in order to
      improve the recovery of reserves and (ii) the sale of one well during late
      1999. As a percentage of oil and gas sales,  these  expenses  decreased to
      31.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from 78.8% for the nine
      months ended September 30, 1999.  This  percentage  decrease was primarily
      due to the dollar decrease of oil and gas



                                      -12-
<PAGE>



      production  expenses and the increases in the average  prices of oil and
      gas sold.

      Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization  of oil  and  gas  properties
      decreased  $4,427 (33.8%) for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 as
      compared to the nine months ended  September  30, 1999.  This decrease was
      primarily due to (i) an increase in the gas price used in the valuation of
      remaining reserves at September 30, 2000 as compared to September 30, 1999
      and (ii) the  decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold. As a percentage of
      oil and gas sales,  this  expense  decreased  to 4.3% for the nine  months
      ended September 30, 2000 from 9.6% for the nine months ended September 30,
      1999. This  percentage  decrease was primarily due to the increases in the
      average   prices  of  oil  and  gas  sold  and  the  dollar   decrease  in
      depreciation, depletion, and amortization.

      General and  administrative  expenses increased $3,365 (7.4%) for the nine
      months  ended  September  30, 2000 as  compared  to the nine months  ended
      September 30, 1999. As a percentage of oil and gas sales,  these  expenses
      decreased to 24.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from 33.3%
      for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This percentage decrease was
      primarily due to the increase in oil and gas sales.
