                CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            MARCH 31, 1997
                              (Unaudited)


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

     The  balance sheet as of March 31, 1997, statements of operations
     for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1997  and  1996,  and
     statements of cash  flows for  the three months  ended March  31,
     1997 and 1996  have been prepared  by Dyco Petroleum  Corporation
     ("Dyco"), the General  Partner of  the Dyco Oil  and Gas  Program
     1986-2 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  March 31, 1997, results  of operations for
     the  three months  ended March 31,  1997 and 1996  and changes in
     cash flows for  the three  months ended March  31, 1997 and  1996
     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, 1996.   The  results  of operations  for the
     period ended March 31, 1997 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 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  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, 1997  and 1996 such expenses totaled  $11,228 and
     $10,387, respectively, of which  $7,341 was paid each  quarter 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  receivable  from  the  General Partner  at  March  31,  1997
     represents proceeds  due to the Program  for the sale  of oil and
     gas properties.   Subsequent to  March 31, 1997,  this receivable
     was collected by the Program.

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, or 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  bank debt  commitments.   Cash  for  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

                                  -7-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     most important  variable affecting the Program's  revenues is the
     prices received for the  sale of oil and gas.   Predicting future
     prices is very difficult.  Substantially all of the Program's 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)

                                       ----------------------------
                                          1997            1996
                                        --------         -------
      Oil and gas sales                 $130,245         $66,206
      Oil and gas production expenses   $ 18,573         $10,940
      Barrels produced                       -                10
      Mcf produced                        59,565          36,899
      Average price/Bbl                 $    -           $ 23.40
      Average price/Mcf                 $   2.19         $  1.79
 
     As shown in the table above, oil  and gas sales increased $64,039
     (96.7%) for the three months ended March 31, 1997  as compared to
     the  three  months  ended March  31,  1996.    Of this  increase,
     approximately $41,000 and $24,000,  respectively, were related to
     the  increases  in the  volumes and  average  price of  gas sold.
     Volumes  of oil sold decreased  10 barrels, while  volumes of gas
     sold  increased 22,666 Mcf for  the three months  ended March 31,
     1997  as compared to the three months  ended March 31, 1996.  The
     increase in  volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from positive
     prior period adjustments  made by the purchaser  on several wells
     during the three months ended March 31, 1997.  Average gas prices
     increased to $2.19 per  Mcf for the three months ended  March 31,
     1997 from  $1.79 per Mcf  for the  three months  ended March  31,
     1996.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and  production taxes) increased $7,633  (69.8%) for the
     three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the three months
     ended  March 31, 1996.  This increase resulted primarily from (i)
     the increase in production taxes associated  with the increase in
     gas sales discussed  above and (ii) an increase in volumes of gas
     sold during the three months ended  March 31, 1997 as compared to
     the three  months ended March 31,  1996.  As a  percentage of oil
     and  gas sales, these expenses  decreased to 14.3%  for the three
     months ended March 31, 1997 from 16.5% for the three months ended
     March  31, 1996.  This  percentage decrease was  primarily due to
     the increase in the  average price of gas  sold during the  three
     months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the three months ended
     March 31, 1996.

     Depreciation,  depletion,   and  amortization  of   oil  and  gas
     properties increased $11,334 (124.2%)  for the three months ended
     March 31,  1997 as compared to  the three months ended  March 31,
     1996.   This increase resulted primarily from (i) the increase in
     volumes of gas sold during the three months ended  March 31, 1997

     as  compared to the three months ended  March 31, 1996 and (ii) a
     decrease  in the gas price  used in the  valuation of reserves at
     March  31, 1997.   As  a percentage  of oil  and gas  sales, this
     expense increased to 15.7%  for the three months ended  March 31,
     1997 from 13.8% for the three  months ended March 31, 1996.  This
     percentage increase was primarily due  to the dollar increase  in
     depreciation,  depletion,  and   amortization  discussed   above,
     partially offset by the increase in the average price of gas sold
     during  the three months ended March 31,  1997 as compared to the
     three months ended March 31, 1996. 

     General and administrative expenses increased $841 (8.1%) for the
     three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the three months
     ended March 31, 1996.   This increase resulted primarily  from an
     increase in professional fees during the three months ended March
     31, 1997 as  compared to the three  months ended March 31,  1996.
     As  a percentage of oil and  gas sales, this expense decreased to
     8.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from 15.7% for the
     three  months ended March 31, 1996.  This percentage decrease was
     primarily due to the increase in gas sales discussed above.
