              DYCO OIL AND GAS PROGRAM 1983-1 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                    CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 2000
                                   (Unaudited)


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

      The balance sheet as of March 31, 2000,  statements of operations  for the
      three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  and  statements of cash flows
      for the three months  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 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 March 31, 2000,  results of operations for the three months ended March
      31, 2000 and 1999,  and changes in cash flows for the three  months  ended
      March 31, 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 March 31, 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 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, 2000 and 1999 the
      Program incurred such expenses totaling $23,481 and $30,167, respectively,
      of which $14,409 and $17,820, 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.

      The  payable to General  Partner at March 31, 2000  represents  audit fees
      paid by the  General  Partner on behalf of the  Program.  This  amount was
      reimbursed to the General Partner in April 2000.

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.  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 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 low
      prices in 1998.

      THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH

                                      ----------------------------
                                             2000           1999
                                           --------       --------
      Oil and gas sales                    $136,285       $103,206
      Oil and gas production expenses      $ 29,383       $ 23,818
      Barrels produced                           85             80
      Mcf produced                           59,433         68,193
      Average price/Bbl                    $  26.89       $  11.11
      Average price/Mcf                    $   2.25       $   1.50

      As shown in the table  above,  total oil and gas sales  increased  $33,079
      (32.1%) for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the three
      months ended March 31, 1999. Of this increase,  approximately  $45,000 was
      related to an increase in the average price of gas sold. This increase was
      partially offset by approximately $13,000 related to a decrease in volumes
      of gas sold. Volumes of oil sold increased 5 barrels, while volumes of gas
      sold  decreased  8,760 Mcf for the three  months  ended  March 31, 2000 as
      compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999.

      The  decrease  in  volumes  of gas  sold  was  primarily  due  to (i)  the
      shutting-in of one well due to downhole  problems  during the three months
      ended  March  31,  2000 and (ii)  normal  declines  in  production.  These
      decreases were significantly offset by the curtailment of sales during the
      three  months  ended  March  31,  1999 on one  well  due to the  Program's
      overproduced  gas  balancing  position  in that well.  Average oil and gas
      prices increased to $26.89 per barrel and $2.25 per Mcf, respectively, for
      the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $11.11 per barrel and $1.50 per
      Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

      Oil and gas production  expenses  (including lease operating  expenses and
      production  taxes)  increased  $5,565  (23.4%) for the three  months ended
      March 31, 2000 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999.  This
      increase was primarily due to (i) new compression expenses incurred on one
      well during the three  months ended March 31, 2000 and (ii) an increase in
      production  taxes  associated with the increase in oil and gas sales. As a
      percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 21.6% for the
      three  months  ended March 31, 2000 from 23.1% for the three  months ended
      March 31, 1999.

      Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization  of oil  and  gas  properties
      decreased  $8,590  (34.6%)  for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 as
      compared to the three  months  ended March 31,  1999.  This  decrease  was
      primarily due to (i) an increase in the gas price used in the valuation of
      reserves  at March 31,  2000 as  compared  to March 31,  1999 and (ii) the
      decrease  in volumes of gas sold.  As a  percentage  of oil and gas sales,
      this expense  decreased to 11.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2000
      from 24.0% for the three  months  ended March 31,  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 decreased $6,686 (22.2%) for the three
      months  ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the three  months  ended March
      31, 1999.  This  decrease was primarily due to decreases in audit fees and
      indirect  general and  administrative  expenses  reimbursed to the General
      Partner. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to
      17.2% for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 from 29.2% for the three
      months ended March 31, 1999. This percentage decrease was primarily due to
      the  increase in oil and gas sales and the dollar  decrease in general and
      administrative expenses.

YEAR 2000 COMPUTER ISSUES
- -------------------------

      The year  2000  issue  refers  to the  inability  of  computer  and  other
      information   technology   systems  to  properly  process  date  and  time
      information,  stemming from the earlier programming  practice of using two
      digits  rather than four to represent the year in a date. To the knowledge
      of the  General  Partner,  the Program has not  experienced  any  material
      effects from the year 2000 issue.  Costs  incurred by the Program in order
      to ensure year 2000 compatibility were not material to the Program.
