      months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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





                                       6
<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 June 30,  1998 and 1997 the
      Program incurred such expenses  totaling $7,689 and $8,332,  respectively,
      of which  $7,341 was paid each period to Dyco and its  affiliates.  During
      the six months  ended June 30,  1998 and 1997 the  Program  incurred  such
      expenses totaling $18,382 and $19,560,  respectively, of which $14,682 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.

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.







                                       8
<PAGE>




      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 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. In addition, crude oil prices are at or near their lowest level
      in the past  decade  due  primarily  to the  global  surplus of crude oil.
      Management is unable to predict whether future oil and gas prices will (i)
      stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.

      Oil and gas sales                           $71,067          $35,845
      Oil and gas production expenses             $16,881          $11,396
      Barrels produced                                 45              134

      Average price/Bbl                           $ 12.20          $ 22.28
      Average price/Mcf                           $  2.02          $  2.09

      As shown in the table  above,  total oil and gas sales  increased  $35,222
      (98.3%) for the three  months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the three
      months ended June 30, 1997. Of this  increase,  approximately  $16,000 was
      related  to an  increase  in the  volumes  of gas sold  and  approximately
      $24,000 was related to a refund of prior oil sales during 1997. Volumes of
      oil sold decreased 89 barrels,  while volumes of gas sold increased  7,679
      Mcf for the three  months  ended June 30,  1998 as  compared  to the three
      months ended



                                       9
<PAGE>



      June 30, 1997. The increase in the volumes of gas sold resulted  primarily
      from  positive  prior  period  volume  adjustments  on one well  made by a
      purchaser  during the three  months ended June 30, 1998 and the receipt of
      an  increased  percentage  of  sales  due to the  Program's  underproduced
      position in another  well  during the three  months  ended June 30,  1998.
      Average  oil and gas prices  decreased  to $12.20 per barrel and $2.02 per
      Mcf,  respectively,  for the three  months ended June 30, 1998 from $22.28
      per barrel and $2.09 per Mcf,  respectively,  for the three  months  ended
      June 30, 1997.

      Oil and gas production  expenses  (including lease operating  expenses and
      production taxes) increased $5,485 (48.1%) for the three months ended June
      30,  1998 as  compared  to the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997.  This
      increase resulted  primarily from (i) an increase in compression  expenses
      incurred on one well during the three  months  ended June 30,  1998,  (ii)
      increases in surface  repair and  maintenance  expenses on one well during
      the three months ended June 30, 1998,  and (iii) an increase in production
      taxes  associated with the increase in oil and gas sales discussed  above.
      As a percentage of oil and gas sales,  these  expenses  decreased to 23.8%
      for the three  months  ended June 30, 1998 from 31.8% for the three months
      ended June 30, 1997.  This  percentage  decrease was  primarily due to the
      refund of prior oil sales discussed above.

      Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization  of oil  and  gas  properties
      increased  $6,941  (292.5%)  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1998 as
      compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.  This increase  resulted
      primarily  from  the  decrease  in the  oil  and  gas  prices  used in the
      valuation  of  reserves at June 30, 1998 as compared to March 31, 1998 and
      an increase in the gas prices  used in the  valuation  of reserves at June
      30, 1997 as compared to March 31,  1997.  As a  percentage  of oil and gas
      sales, this expense increased to 13.1% for the three months ended June 30,
      1998 from 6.6% for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  This  percentage
      increase  was  primarily  due  to the  dollar  increase  in  depreciation,
      depletion, and amortization discussed above.

      General and  administrative  expenses  decreased $643 (7.7%) for the three
      months  ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended June 30,
      1997. As a percentage of oil and gas sales,  these  expenses  decreased to
      10.8% for the three  months  ended June 30,  1998 from 23.2% for the three
      months ended June 30, 1997. This percentage  decrease was primarily due to
      the increase in oil and gas sales discussed above.

      Average price/Bbl                          $  14.37          $  22.28
      Average price/Mcf                          $   2.00          $   2.16

      As shown in the table  above,  total oil and gas sales  decreased  $25,511
      (15.4%)  for the six months  ended June 30,  1998 as  compared  to the six
      months ended June 30, 1997. Of this  decrease,  approximately  $37,000 was
      related to a decrease in volumes of gas sold and approximately $11,000 was
      related to a decrease in the average  price of gas sold,  which  decreases
      were partially offset by an increase of approximately $24,000 related to a
      refund  of  prior  oil  sales  during  1997.  Volumes  of oil and gas sold
      decreased  31 barrels  and 17,256  Mcf,  respectively,  for the six months
      ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997. The
      decrease in volumes of gas sold resulted  primarily  from  positive  prior
      period volume  adjustments made by a purchaser on six wells during the six
      months ended June 30, 1997. Average oil and gas prices decreased to $14.37
      per barrel and $2.00 per Mcf, respectively,  for the six months ended June
      30, 1998 from $22.28 per barrel and $2.16 per Mcf,  respectively,  for the
      six months ended June 30, 1997.

      Oil and gas production  expenses  (including lease operating  expenses and
      production  taxes) increased $701 (2.3%) for the six months ended June 30,
      1998 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of
      oil and gas sales,  these  expenses  increased to 21.8% for the six months
      ended June 30,  1998 from 18.0% for the six  months  ended June 30,  1997.
      This percentage  increase was primarily due to the decrease in the average
      price of gas sold during the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to
      the six months ended June 30, 1997.

      Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization  of oil  and  gas  properties
      decreased  $5,971  (26.1%)  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998 as
      compared to the six months ended June 30,  1997.  This  decrease  resulted
      primarily  from (i) the  decrease  in volumes  of gas sold  during the six
      months  ended June 30, 1998 as  compared to the six months  ended June 30,
      1997.  As a percentage  of oil and gas sales,  this  expense  decreased to
