                              (Unaudited)

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

     The  balance sheets 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
     1985-1 and 1985-2 Limited Partnerships (individually, the "1985-1
     Program"  or  the  "1985-2 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 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   Programs' 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 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 June 30, 1996 and 1995 the 1985-1 Program
     incurred   such   expenses   totaling   $14,277    and   $15,106,
     respectively, of which  $10,710 and  $10,710 were  paid to  Dyco.
     During  the six months  ended June 30,  1996 and  1995 the 1985-1
     Program  incurred  such  expenses totaling  $31,046  and $31,491,
     respectively, of  which $21,420  and $21,420  were paid to  Dyco.
     During the three months ended June  30, 1996 and 1995 the  1985-2
     Program  incurred such  expenses  totaling $13,836  and  $14,693,
     respectively,  of which  $10,068 and $10,068  were paid  to Dyco.
     During the  six months ended  June 30, 1996  and 1995  the 1985-2
     Program  incurred  such expenses  totaling  $30,240  and $31,138,
     respectively, of which $20,136 and $20,136 were paid to Dyco.

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

     The Programs 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 Programs until
     December 6,  1995.  During the  three months ended  June 30, 1995
     these sales for the  1985-1 Program totaled $64,273.   During the
     six months ended June 30, 1995 these sales for the 1985-1 Program
     totaled  $123,981.   At December  31, 1995,  accrued oil  and gas
     sales for  the 1985-1 Program included $28,938  due from Premier.
     During the three months  ended June 30, 1995 these  sales for the
     1985-2 Program totaled $21,391.  During the six months ended June
     30, 1995 these sales for the  1985-2 Program totaled $38,168.  At
     December  31,  1995, accrued  oil and  gas  sales for  the 1985-2
     Program included $12,336 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  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.    Over the  last  several years,  the
     domestic  energy industry  and the  Programs 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 Programs' 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
     Programs  have no  bank debt commitments.   Cash  for operational
     purposes will be provided by current oil and gas production.

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

     1985-1 PROGRAM 

     THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AS COMPARED  TO THE THREE MONTHS
     ENDED JUNE 30, 1995.

                                         -------        --------
      Oil and gas sales                  $81,250        $122,488
      Oil and gas production expenses    $22,702        $ 33,521
      Barrels produced                        60           1,751
      Mcf produced                        35,994          67,099
      Average price/Bbl                  $ 22.40        $  20.07
      Average price/Mcf                  $  2.22        $   1.30

     As  shown in the table above, oil and gas sales decreased $41,238
     (33.7%) for the three months ended  June 30, 1996 as compared  to
     the three months ended June 30, 1995.  Of this decrease, $106,931
     was related to  the decreases in the  volumes of oil and  natural
     gas sold, partially offset  by a $61,731 increase related  to the
     increase in the average  price of natural  gas sold.  Volumes  of
     oil  and natural gas sold decreased 1,691 barrels and 31,105 Mcf,
     respectively,  for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996  as
     compared to the  three months ended June 30, 1995.   The decrease
     in  volumes of oil sold was  primarily due to the  sale of two of
     the  1985-1  Program's  significant  oil producing  wells.    The
     decrease in  volumes of natural  gas sold was  due to (i)  normal
     declines in production  due to diminished natural gas reserves on
     one well and (ii) a gas balancing adjustment made by the operator
     on one significant well for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
     Average oil and natural gas prices increased to $22.40 per barrel

     and  $2.22 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended June
     30,  1996 from $20.07 per barrel and $1.30 per Mcf, respectively,
     for the three months ended June 30, 1995.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and  production taxes)  decreased $10,819 for  the three
     months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the three months  ended
     June 30,  1995.  This decrease  was primarily due to  the sale of
     two of  the 1985-1 Program's wells.   As a percentage  of oil and
     gas sales,  these expenses remained relatively  constant at 27.9%
     for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 27.4% for
     the three months ended June 30, 1995.

     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of  oil   and  gas
     properties decreased $26,346 for the three months  ended June 30,
     1996  as compared to the three months  ended June 30, 1995.  This
     decrease was primarily due  to (i) a valuation allowance  for oil
     and  gas properties recorded during  the last half  of 1995 which
     decreased the amortizable  capitalized costs of  the oil and  gas
     properties,  (ii) upward revisions  of previous reserve estimates
     at December  31, 1995, and (iii)  the decrease in volumes  of oil
     and natural gas sold.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this
     expense  decreased to 12.9% for  the three months  ended June 30,
     1996 from 30.1% for the  three months ended June 30, 1995.   This
     percentage  decrease  was  primarily   due  to  the  decrease  in
     depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization   of  oil  and   gas
     properties due to  the upward revisions of  reserve estimates and
     the valuation allowance as  discussed above and the  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 remained  relatively constant
     for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the three
     months  ended June  30, 1995.   As  a percentage  of oil  and gas
     sales, these  expenses increased  to 17.6%  for the  three months
     ended June  30, 1996 from 12.3%  for the three months  ended June
     30,  1995.   This percentage  increase was  primarily due  to the
     decreases  in the 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.

     (28.2%) for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
     six months ended June 30, 1995.   Of this decrease, $138,477  was
     related to  the decreases in the  volumes of oil and  natural gas
     sold, partially  offset  by a  $67,621  increase related  to  the
     increase in  the average price  of natural gas sold.   Volumes of

     months ended June 30, 1996  from $19.28 per barrel and $1.32  per
     Mcf, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and production  taxes)  decreased $27,392  for the  six
     months ended June  30, 1996 as compared  to the six months  ended
     June 30,  1995.  This decrease  was primarily due to  the sale of
     two of  the 1985-1 Program's wells.   As a percentage  of oil and
     gas sales, these expenses  decreased to 29.6% for the  six months
     ended June 30, 1996 from 33.0%  for the six months ended June 30,
     1995.    This  percentage  decrease  was  primarily  due  to  the
     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 decreased  $44,197 for the  six months ended  June 30,
     1996 as compared  to the six  months ended June  30, 1995.   This
     decrease was primarily due  to (i) a valuation allowance  for oil
     and  gas properties recorded during  the last half  of 1995 which
     decreased the amortizable  capitalized costs of  the oil and  gas
     properties, (ii) upward  revisions of previous reserve  estimates
     at  December 31, 1995,  and (iii) the decrease  in volumes of oil

     from  29.1%  for  the  six  months ended  June  30,  1995.   This
     percentage  decrease  was  primarily   due  to  the  decrease  in

     As  shown in the table above,  oil and gas sales decreased $3,265
     (5.2%) for the three  months ended June  30, 1996 as compared  to
     the three  months ended June 30, 1995.  Of this decrease, $26,435
     was related to the  decreases in the volumes  of oil and  natural
     gas sold, partially offset  by a $23,260 increase related  to the
     increases  in the  average prices  of oil  and natural  gas sold.
     Volumes of oil  and natural  gas sold decreased  482 barrels  and
     7,746 Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1996
     as  compared  to the  three  months  ended June  30,  1995.   The
     decrease in volumes of oil sold  was primarily due to the sale of
     several of the 1985-2  Program's wells.  The decrease  in volumes
     of natural  gas sold   was primarily  due to  (i) downward  prior
     period  volume adjustments  made  by the  purchaser  on one  well
     during the  three months ended June 30, 1996, and (ii) a positive
     prior period  adjustment made  by the  purchaser on another  well
     during the  three months ended  June 30,  1995.  Average  oil and
     natural gas prices increased  to $19.49 per barrel and  $2.20 per
     Mcf,  respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from
     $18.07  per barrel and $1.35 per Mcf, respectively, for the three
     months ended June 30, 1995.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses  and production  taxes) decreased  $3,372 for  the three
     months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the three months  ended
     June 30,  1995.  This decrease  was primarily due to  the sale of
     several of the 1985-2  Program's wells.  As  a percentage of  oil
     and  gas sales, these expenses  decreased to 41.0%  for the three
     months ended June 30, 1996 from 44.3% for  the three months ended
     June 30, 1995.  This percentage decrease was primarily due to the
     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.
   
     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of   oil  and  gas
     properties decreased $11,694 for the three months  ended June 30,
     1996  as compared to the three months  ended June 30, 1995.  This
     decrease was  primarily due  to (i)  the sale  of several of  the
     1985-2   Program's   wells   which   decreased   the  amortizable
     capitalized costs of  the oil  and gas properties,  (ii)   upward
     revisions of previous reserve estimates at December 31, 1995, and
     (iii)  the decrease in the  volumes of oil  and natural gas sold.
     As a percentage of oil and  gas sales, this expense decreased  to
     8.7% for the three months ended  June 30, 1996 from 26.9% for the
     three months ended June  30, 1995.  This percentage  decrease was
     primarily  due to  the decrease  in depreciation,  depletion, and

     amortization  of  oil  and  gas  properties  due  to  the  upward
     revisions  of reserve estimates and the  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,

     (19.4%) for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
     six months ended June  30, 1995.   Of this decrease, $53,912  was
     related to  the decreases in the  volumes of oil  and natural gas
     sold,  partially  offset by  a  $28,722 increase  related  to the
     increases  in the  average prices  of oil  and natural  gas sold.
     Volumes  of oil and natural  gas sold decreased  by 1,824 barrels
     and 10,706 Mcf, respectively,  for the six months ended  June 30,
     1996 as  compared to  the six  months ended June  30, 1995.   The
     decrease in  volumes of oil sold was primarily due to the sale of
     several of the 1985-2  Program's wells.  The decrease  in volumes
     of  natural  gas sold  was primarily  due  to (i)  downward prior

     10.2%  for the six months ended June  30, 1996 from 27.5% for the
     six months ended  June 30,  1995.  This  percentage decrease  was
     primarily  due to  the decrease  in depreciation,  depletion, and
