                CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             JUNE 30, 1996
                              (Unaudited)


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

     The balance sheet as  of June 30, 1996, statements  of operations
     for the  three and six months  ended June 30, 1996  and 1995, and
     statements of  cash flows for the six  months ended June 30, 1996
     and  1995  have  been  prepared  by  Dyco  Petroleum  Corporation
     ("Dyco"), the General  Partner of  the Dyco Oil  and Gas  Program
     1983-1 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 June 30,  1996, results of  operations for
     the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and changes
     in cash  flows for the  six months ended  June 30, 1996  and 1995
     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, 1995.   The  results  of operations  for the
     period  ended June 30, 1996 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.    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  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 three  months
     ended  June 30, 1996 and  1995 such expenses  totaled $23,560 and
     $24,763, respectively, of which $17,820  and $17,820 were paid to
     Dyco.   During the six months  ended June 30, 1996  and 1995 such
     expenses  totaled  $51,052 and  $52,558,  respectively,  of which
     $35,640 and $35,640 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 sold  gas at  market prices  to Premier  Gas Company
     ("Premier")  and Premier then resold such gas to third parties at
     market prices.   Premier was  an affiliate of  the Program  until
     December  6, 1995.   During the three months  ended June 30, 1995
     these sales totaled $184,706.   During the six months  ended June
     30, 1995 these  sales totaled  $342,329.  At  December 31,  1995,
     accrued oil and gas sales included $101,934 due from Premier.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 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.   Over  the last  several  years, the
     domestic  energy industry  and  the Program  have contended  with
     volatile, but generally  low, oil and gas prices.   Over the past
     few years, the  oil and  gas market  appears to  have moved  from
     periods of  relative stability  in supply  and  demand to  excess
     supply  or weakened  demand.    These  trends  have  led  to  the
     volatility in pricing and demand noted over the past years.

     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, 1996 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
     ENDED JUNE 30, 1995.
                                      Three months ended June 30,
                                      ---------------------------
                                          1996            1995
                                        --------        --------
      Oil and gas sales                 $615,839        $188,788
      Oil and gas production expenses   $116,372        $ 35,082
      Barrels produced                       147              62
      Mcf produced                       398,286         139,060
      Average price/Bbl                 $  20.88        $  16.52
      Average price/Mcf                 $   1.54        $   1.35
 
     As  shown in  the  table, oil  and  natural gas  sales  increased
     $427,051 (226.2%) for  the three  months ended June  30, 1996  as
     compared  to  the three  months  ended June  30,  1995.   Of this
     increase,  $399,208 was related to the increase in the volumes of
     natural gas sold.   Volumes of oil and natural gas sold increased
     by 85 barrels and 259,226 Mcf, respectively, for the three months
     ended June 30,  1996 as compared to  the three months ended  June
     30, 1995.   The increase in  the volumes of natural  gas sold was
     primarily  due to positive  prior period adjustments  made by the
     operator related to one well that reached payout in June of 1993.
     Average oil and natural gas prices increased to $20.88 per barrel
     and $1.54 per Mcf for  the three months ended June 30,  1996 from
     averages  of $16.52 per  barrel and $1.35  per Mcf  for the three
     months ended June 30, 1995.  

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and  production taxes)  increased $81,290 for  the three
     months ended June 30, 1996 as compared  to the three months ended
     June 30, 1995.   This  increase resulted primarily  from a  prior

                                  -8-

<PAGE>
     period adjustment made  by the operator  during the three  months
     ended June 30, 1996  which resulted in an increase  in ad valorem
     taxes, compression expenses, surface repairs, and severance taxes
     pertaining to an increase  in ownership due to one  well reaching
     payout status in  June of 1993.   As a percentage of  oil and gas
     sales, these  expenses remained relatively constant  at 18.9% for
     the three months ended  June 30, 1996  as compared 18.6% for  the
     three months ended June 30, 1995.

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and   amortization  of  oil   and  gas
     properties increased $99,379 for the three months ended  June 30,
     1996 as compared to the  three months ended June 30, 1995.   This
     increase  was primarily the result of increases in the volumes of
     natural gas sold during the three  months ended June 30, 1996  as
     compared to  the  three months  ended  June 30,  1995,  partially
     offset by an  upward revision  in the estimate  of the  Program's
     remaining  natural gas  reserves  at December  31,  1995.   As  a
     percentage  of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 24.5%
     for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from 27.3% for the three
     months  ended  June  30,  1995.    This  percentage decrease  was
     primarily  due  to increases  in the  average  prices of  oil and
     natural gas sold during the  three months ended June 30, 1996  as
     compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995.

     General and administrative  expenses decreased $1,203 during  the
     three months ended June 30, 1996  as compared to the three months
     ended  June  30, 1995.    This decrease  was primarily  due  to a
     decrease in printing and postage expenses during the three months
     ended June 30, 1995.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
     expenses  decreased to 3.8% for  the three months  ended June 30,
     1996  from 13.1% for the three months  ended June 30, 1995.  This
     percentage decrease was primarily the  result of the increases in
     the average prices and volumes of oil and natural gas sold during
     the three months  ended June 30,  1996 as compared  to the  three
     months ended June 30, 1995.

     SIX MONTHS  ENDED JUNE  30, 1996  AS COMPARED  TO THE  SIX MONTHS
     ENDED JUNE 30, 1995.
                                       Six months ended June 30,
                                      ---------------------------
                                          1996            1995
                                        --------        --------
      Oil and gas sales                 $876,308        $401,234
      Oil and gas production expenses   $165,220        $135,595
      Barrels produced                       340             289
      Mcf produced                       557,706         308,258
      Average price/Bbl                 $  18.68        $  17.74
      Average price/Mcf                 $   1.56        $   1.28

     As  shown in  the  table, oil  and  natural gas  sales  increased
     $475,074  (118.4%)  for the  six months  ended  June 30,  1996 as
     compared  to  the  six  months ended  June  30,  1995.   Of  this
     increase, $389,139 was a  result of the increases in  the volumes
     of natural gas sold and  an $86,312 increase was a result  of the
     increase  in the average  price of natural gas  sold.  Volumes of
     oil and natural gas sold increased by 51 barrels and 249,448 Mcf,
     respectively,  for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared
     to  the six  months ended  June 30,  1995.   The increase  in the
     volumes of natural gas  sold was primarily due to  positive prior
     period  adjustments made by the operator related to one well that
     reached payout  in June of  1993.   Average oil  and natural  gas

     prices increased  to $18.68 per barrel and  $1.56 per Mcf for the
     six months ended June 30, 1996 from averages of $17.74 per barrel
     and $1.28 per Mcf for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and production  taxes)  increased $29,625  for the  six
     months ended June 30,  1996 as compared  to the six months  ended
     June 30, 1995.   This  increase resulted primarily  from a  prior
     period  adjustment made  by the  operator during  the six  months
     ended  June 30, 1996 which  resulted in an  increase in severance
     taxes  pertaining to  an increase  in ownership  due to  one well
     reaching payout status in June  of 1993.  As a percentage  of oil
     and  gas sales,  these expenses  decreased to  18.9% for  the six
     months ended June 30, 1996 as  compared 33.8% for the six  months
     ended  June 30, 1995.   This percentage decrease  was primarily a
     result of increases in the average prices  of oil and natural gas
     sold during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
     six months ended June 30, 1995.

     Depreciation,   depletion,  and  amortization   of  oil  and  gas
     properties  increased $95,710 for  the six months  ended June 30,
     1996 as compared  to the six  months ended June  30, 1995.   This
     increase  was primarily the result of increases in the volumes of
     natural gas  sold during the  six months ended  June 30, 1996  as
     compared  to the six months ended June 30, 1995, partially offset
     by  an upward revision in the estimate of the Program's remaining
     natural gas reserves  at December 31, 1995.   As a percentage  of
     oil and  gas sales, this  expense decreased to 23.4%  for the six
     months ended June 30,  1996 from 27.2%  for the six months  ended
     June 30, 1995.   This  percentage decrease was  primarily due  to
     increases  in  the average  prices of  oil  and natural  gas sold
     during the six months ended June  30, 1996 as compared to the six
     months ended June 30, 1995.

     General and  administrative expenses decreased $1,506  during the
     six  months ended  June 30,  1996 as  compared to the  six months
     ended  June 30,  1995.   This  decrease was  primarily  due to  a
     decrease  in printing and postage expenses  during the six months
     ended June 30, 1995.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these
     expenses decreased to 5.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1996
     from  13.1%  for  the  six months  ended  June  30,  1995.   This
     percentage decrease was primarily the result of  the increases in
     the average  prices of oil  and natural  gas sold during  the six
