                   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 1982-1 and 1982-2 Limited Partnerships (individually,  the
      "1982-1  Program"  or the  "1982-2  Program",  as the  case  may  be,  or,
      collectively, the "Programs"), 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 Programs' 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.

      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.  The Programs'  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



                                       8
<PAGE>



      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. During the three months ended March 31, 1998,
      one  property  was  sold  that   significantly   altered  the  capitalized
      cost/proved  reserves  relationship.  One well representing  approximately
      1.2% of total  reserves  was sold for  $62,467.  Accordingly,  capitalized
      costs were reduced by 1.2% with the remainder  recorded as Gain of Sale of
      Oil and Gas Properties.

      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 each 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 1982-1  Program  incurred  such  expenses  totaling  $37,683  and
      $40,719,  respectively,  of which $18,615 was paid each period to Dyco and
      its affiliates.  During the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 the
      1982-2  Program  incurred  such  expenses  totaling  $29,847 and  $32,291,
      respectively,  of which  $14,610  was  paid  each  period  to Dyco and its
      affiliates.

      Affiliates of the Program  operate  certain of the  Programs'  properties.
      Their policy is to bill the Programs  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 1982-1 Program and the 1982-2 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
      Programs.

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  Programs'  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 Programs' reserves which
      would result in a positive economic impact.

      The Programs'  available capital from  subscriptions has been spent on oil
      and gas drilling  activities.  There should be no further material capital
      resource commitments in the future. The Programs have no debt commitments.
      Cash for  operational  purposes  will be  provided  by current oil and gas
      production.


                                       10
<PAGE>



      The 1982-2 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 1982-2 Program's cash distributions, if any, to be paid
      in June 1998. It is possible that the 1982-2 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 1982-2 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 1982-2 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 Programs'  revenues is the prices received for the
      sale  of  oil  and  gas.  Predicting  future  prices  is  very  difficult.
      Substantially  all of the  Programs'  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.

      approximately $1,000 and $20,000, respectively,  were related to decreases
      in the  average  prices of oil and gas sold.  Volumes  of oil and gas sold
      decreased  338 barrels and 6,795 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 oil sold  resulted  primarily  from the sale of
      one well in 1997.  The decrease in volumes of gas sold resulted  primarily
      from (i) normal  declines in production due to diminished  reserves on one
      well and (ii) the sale of one well during 1997. Average oil and gas prices
      decreased  to $14.76 per barrel and $1.98 per Mcf,  respectively,  for the
      three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 from $21.86 per barrel and $2.79 per
      Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

      Oil and gas production  expenses  (including lease operating  expenses and
      production  taxes)  increased $690 (3.3%) for the three months ended March
      31, 1998 as  compared  to the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997.  This
      increase  resulted  primarily from workover  expenses incurred on one well
      during the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 in order to  improve  the
      recovery of reserves.  This increase was partially offset by 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 41.2% for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 from 20.8%
      for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  This  percentage  increase was
      primarily  due to  decreases  in the  average  prices  of oil and gas sold
      discussed above.

      Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization  of oil  and  gas  properties
      decreased  $6,705  (51.0%)  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 as
      compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. This decrease  resulted
      primarily  from the  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.  As a  percentage  of oil and gas  sales,  this  expense
      remained relatively constant at 12.4% for the three months ended March 31,
      1998 and 13.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

      General and administrative  expenses decreased $3,036 (7.5%) 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 72.4% for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 from  40.8% for the
      three months ended March 31, 1997. This percentage  increase was primarily
      due to the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed above.

1982-2 PROGRAM

      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                           $128,556         $228,684
      Oil and gas production expenses             $ 33,478         $ 37,978
      Barrels produced                                  23               84
      Mcf produced                                  64,683           86,589
      Average price/Bbl                           $  14.78         $  22.30
      Average price/Mcf                           $   1.98         $   2.62

      As shown in the table above,  total oil and gas sales  decreased  $100,128
      (43.8%) for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the three
      months ended March 31, 1997. Of this  decrease,  approximately  $1,000 and
      $57,000, respectively, were related to decreases in volumes of oil and gas
      sold and  approximately  $41,000  was related to a decrease in the average
      price of gas sold.  Volumes of oil and gas sold  decreased  61 barrels and
      21,906 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 normal  declines in production due to
      diminished  reserves on several  wells during the three months ended March
      31,  1998.  Average oil and gas prices  decreased to $14.78 per barrel and
      $1.98 per Mcf,  respectively,  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998
      from  $22.30  per barrel  and $2.62 per Mcf,  respectively,  for the three
      months ended March 31, 1997.

      Oil and gas production  expenses  (including lease operating  expenses and
      production  taxes)  decreased  $4,500  (11.8%) for the three  months ended
      March 31, 1998 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997.  This
      decrease  resulted  primarily  from (i) the decrease 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) a decrease in production  taxes
      associated  with the decrease in oil and gas sales  discussed  above. As a
      percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to 26.0% for the
      three  months  ended March 31, 1998 from 16.6% for the three  months ended
      March 31, 1997. This percentage increase was primarily due to decreases in
      the average prices of oil and gas sold discussed above.

      Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization  of oil  and  gas  properties
      decreased  $26,605  (65.1%) for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 as
      compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. This decrease  resulted
      primarily  from (i) the decrease 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 upward  revision in the  estimate of  remaining
      gas reserves at December 31, 1997.  As a percentage  of oil and gas sales,
      this expense  decreased to 11.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1998
      from 17.9% 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 $2,444 (7.6%) 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 23.2% for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 from  14.1% for the
      three months ended March 31, 1997. This percentage  increase was primarily
      due to the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed above.
