             DYCO OIL AND GAS PROGRAM 1986-2 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                   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 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, 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 Program's 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.


      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, 1998 and 1997 the
      Program incurred such expenses totaling $10,693 and $11,228, respectively,
      of which $7,341 was 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  receivable  from the  General  Partner at March 31,  1998  represents
      proceeds due the 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 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, 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. 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 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) stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.

      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                           $69,512          $130,245
      Oil and gas production expenses             $13,789          $ 18,573
      Barrels produced                                 58                 -
      Mcf produced                                 34,630            59,565
      Average price/Bbl                           $ 16.05          $      -
      Average price/Mcf                           $  1.98          $   2.19

      As shown in the table  above,  total oil and gas sales  decreased  $60,733
      (46.6%) for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the three
      months ended March 31, 1997. Of this decrease,  approximately  $55,000 was
      related to a decrease in volumes of gas sold and approximately  $7,000 was
      related to a decrease  in the  average  price of gas sold.  Volumes of oil
      sold increased 58 barrels,  while volumes of gas sold decreased 24,935 Mcf
      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  positive  prior  period  volume  adjustments  made by the
      purchaser on several wells during

<PAGE>



      the three  months ended March 31,  1997.  Average gas prices  decreased to
      $1.98 per Mcf for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.19 per Mcf
      for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

      Oil and gas production  expenses  (including lease operating  expenses and
      production  taxes)  decreased  $4,784  (25.8%) for the three  months ended
      March 31, 1998 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997.  This
      decrease  resulted  primarily  from (i) a  decrease  in  production  taxes
      related to the decrease in oil and gas sales  discussed above and (ii) the
      decrease  in volumes of gas sold during the three  months  ended March 31,
      1998 as compared to March 31, 1997.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales,
      these  expenses  increased  to 19.8% for the three  months ended March 31,
      1998 from 14.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This percentage
      increase was  primarily  due to the  decrease in the average  price of gas
      sold during the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the three
      months ended March 31, 1997.

      Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization  of oil  and  gas  properties
      decreased  $12,912  (63.1%) 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 gas sold during the three
      months  ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the three  months  ended March
      31, 1997 and (ii) an increase  in the gas price used in the  valuation  of
      reserves at March 31, 1998 as compared to March 31, 1997.  As a percentage
      of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 10.9% for the three months
      ended March 31, 1998 from 15.7% 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 $535 (4.8%) 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 15.4% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 8.6% for the three
      months ended March 31, 1997. This percentage increase was primarily due to
      the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed above.
