             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, 1995,  results of operations  for the  three and six
             months ended June  30, 1995 and  1994 and changes  in cash  flows
             for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 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, 1994.   The results of operations for the
             period ended June 30, 1995 are  not necessarily indicative of the
             results to be expected for the full year.

             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.   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 six months  ended June 30, 1995  and 1994 the 1979-1  Program
             incurred   such    expenses   totaling   $30,131   and   $27,254,
             respectively, of  which $22,260 and  $22,260 were  paid to  Dyco.
             During the six  months ended June  30, 1995  and 1994 the  1979-2
             Program  incurred such  expenses  totaling $23,197  and  $20,551,
             respectively, of which $15,606 and $15,606 were paid to Dyco.  

             Affiliates of  the Programs 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 sell gas  at market  prices to  Premier Gas Company
             ("Premier"), an affiliated company,  and Premier may  then resell
             such gas  to third  parties at  market prices.    During the  six
             months ended June  30, 1995 and 1994  these sales for the  1979-1
             Program totaled  $161,419 and  $216,301, respectively.   At  June
             30,  1995  accrued oil  and  gas  sales  for  the 1979-1  Program
             included $49,672 due from Premier.   During the six months  ended
             June  30,  1995 and  1994  these  sales  for  the 1979-2  Program
             totaled $229,829  and $467,336, respectively.   At June 30,  1995
             accrued  oil  and  gas  sales  for the  1979-2  Program  included
             $51,338 due from Premier.  

          3. CONTINGENCIES
             -------------

             On October 26, 1993, certain royalty  owners filed a class action
             lawsuit  against Dyco  and another  party in  which  they alleged
             entitlement to  a  share of  the  proceeds  from a  gas  contract
             involving one of the 1979-2 Program's  wells.  The plaintiffs are
             alleging claims based on  breach of contract, breach of fiduciary
             obligation, and unjust enrichment  and are seeking  an accounting
             and  declaration as  a  third  party beneficiary  under  the  gas
             contract.    The plaintiffs  have not  quantified  the amount  of
             their damages,  but they  are seeking  exemplary damages,  unpaid
             royalties, and  interest.   Dyco  has  filed  its answer  in  the
             matter in which it denied all  of the plaintiffs' allegations and
             discovery  is proceeding in the  matter.  On January 18, 1994 the
             district court  certified the  matter as  a class  action and  on
             November  29, 1994  the  plaintiffs  filed a  motion for  summary
             judgment in  the matter.  Dyco  intends to  vigorously defend the

             lawsuit.     As  of  the  date  of  these  financial  statements,
             management cannot  determine the  amount of  any alleged  damages
             which would be allocable to the Program from this lawsuit.

             On October 21, 1994 a royalty owner filed a class action  lawsuit
             against an  affiliate  of Dyco  and  other  parties in  which  he
             alleged  entitlement  to a  share  of  the  proceeds  from a  gas
             contract  involving  one of  the  1979-2  program's  wells.   The
             plaintiffs  are  alleging  claims  based  on  unjust  enrichment,
             breach  of  contract and  fiduciary obligation,  and constructive
             fraud, and  are seeking an accounting.   The  plaintiffs have not
             quantified  the amount  of their  damages,  but they  are seeking
             actual and  punitive damages, interest  and costs.   On  November
             17, 1994 the defendants filed a  special appearance and motion to
             dismiss for  lack of  venue.   The court  then  entered an  order
             transferring  venue to  Oklahoma  District  Court.   Discovery is
             proceeding and  the affiliate  intends to  vigorously defend  the
             lawsuit.    As  of  the  date  of  these  financial   statements,
             management cannot  determine the  amount of  any alleged  damages
             which  would  be  allocable  to  the  1979-2  Program  from  this
             lawsuit.

          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.

               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
          ---------------------

                1979-1 PROGRAM 

               THREE  MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,  1995 AS COMPARED  TO THE THREE
               MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994.

                  Oil and gas sales                   $135,329   $114,530   
                  Oil and gas production expenses     $ 23,525   $ 24,217

                  Average price/Mcf                   $   1.37   $   1.73   
                
               As shown in the  table, oil and natural gas  sales increased
               by  18.2%  for  the three  months  ended  June  30, 1995  as
               compared  to the  three months  ended June  30, 1994.   This
               increase resulted from the  increases in the volumes  of oil
               and natural gas sold  and the increase in the  average price
               of oil sold, partially offset by the decrease in the average
               price  of natural gas sold  for the three  months ended June
               30,  1995 as  compared to  the three  months ended  June 30,
               1994.  Volumes  of oil  and natural gas  sold increased  279
               barrels and  27,595 Mcf, respectively, for  the three months
               ended  June 30, 1995 as  compared to the  three months ended
               June 30,  1994.   The increase  in the  volumes of  oil sold
               resulted  primarily  from   positive  prior  period   volume
               adjustments from  a purchaser on  one well during  the three
               months  ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in the volumes of
               natural  gas sold  resulted  primarily  from positive  prior

<PAGE>
               period volume  adjustments from a purchaser  on another well
               during  the three months ended  June 30, 1995.   Average oil
               prices increased to $18.59 per  barrel for the three  months
               ended June 30,  1995 from  $15.42 per barrel  for the  three
               months ended June 30, 1994, while average natural gas prices
               decreased to $1.37 per  Mcf for the three months  ended June
               30, 1995 from $1.73 per Mcf  for the three months ended June
               30, 1994.

               Oil  and gas production  expenses (including lease operating
               expenses and production  taxes) remained relatively constant
               for the three months ended June  30, 1995 as compared to the
               three   months ended June 30, 1994.   As a percentage of oil
               and  gas sales,  these expenses  decreased to 17.4%  for the
               three  months ended June 30,  1995 from 21.1%  for the three
               months ended June  30, 1994.   This percentage decrease  was
               primarily  due to  the increase  in the  volumes of  oil and
               natural gas sold as a result of the prior period oil and gas
               volume adjustments discussed above, partially offset by  the
               decrease in the average price of natural gas sold during the
               three  months ended June 30,  1995 as compared  to the three
               months ended June 30, 1994.

               Depreciation, depletion,  and  amortization of  oil and  gas
               properties remained relatively constant for the three months
               ended  June 30, 1995 as  compared to the  three months ended
               June 30, 1994.  As  a percentage of oil and gas  sales, this
               expense  decreased slightly  to 17.9%  for the  three months
               ended  June 30, 1995 from  20.6% for the  three months ended
               June 30, 1994.  This  percentage decrease was primarily  the
               result of  a significant upward revision in  the estimate of
               the 1979-1 Program's remaining natural gas reserves.

               General and administrative expenses increased $2,239 for the
               three  months ended June 30,  1995 as compared  to the three
               months  ended  June  30,   1994.    This  increase  resulted
               primarily  from   an  increase   in  the  1979-1   Program's
               professional  fees during  the three  months ended  June 30,
               1995  as  compared to  the similar  period  in 1994.    As a
               percentage  of oil  and gas  sales, these  expenses remained
               relatively constant at 10.8% for the three months ended June
               30, 1995 compared to  10.7% for the three months  ended June
               30, 1994.

               As shown in the  table, oil and natural gas  sales decreased
               slightly by 1.9% for the  six months ended June 30,  1995 as
               compared  to the  six  months ended  June  30, 1994.    This
               decrease resulted primarily from the decrease in the average
               price of natural gas sold, partially offset by  the increase
               in the volumes  of oil and  natural gas sold during  the six
               months ended June  30, 1995  as compared to  the six  months
               ended June 30,  1994.  Volumes of  oil and natural  gas sold
               increased 222 barrels and  34,682 Mcf, respectively, for the
               six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the six months
               ended June  30, 1994.   The increase in  the volumes  of oil
               sold resulted from positive prior  period volume adjustments
               from a purchaser  on one  well during the  six months  ended
               June  30, 1995.  The increase in  the volumes of natural gas

               from $15.02 per  barrel for  the six months  ended June  30,
               1994, while  average natural  gas prices decreased  to $1.36
               per Mcf for  the six months ended  June 30, 1995 from  $1.85
               per Mcf for the six months ended June 30, 1994.

               Oil and  gas production expenses (including  lease operating
               expenses  and production taxes) increased slightly by $1,914
               for the  six months ended June  30, 1995 as compared  to the
               six months  ended  June 30,  1994.   The  increase  resulted
               primarily from an  increase in  the volumes of  oil and  gas
               sold during the six  months ended June 30, 1995  as compared
               to the six months ended  June 30, 1994.  As a  percentage of
               oil  and  gas  sales,  these  expenses  remained  relatively
               constant at 22.3%  for the  six months ended  June 30,  1995
               compared to 21.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1994.  

               Depreciation, depletion,  and  amortization of  oil and  gas
               properties decreased  slightly by $1,249 for  the six months
               ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the six months ended June
               30,  1994.     This  decrease  resulted   primarily  from  a
               significant upward  revision in  the estimate of  the 1979-1
               Program's remaining  natural gas reserves.   As a percentage
               of  oil  and gas  sales,  this  expense remained  relatively
               constant at 17.8%  for the  six months ended  June 30,  1995
               compared to 18.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1994.

               General and administrative expenses increased $2,877 for the
               six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the six months
               ended June  30, 1994.  This increase resulted primarily from
               the  increase in  the  1979-1  Program's  professional  fees
               during the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the
               similar  period in  1994.  As  a percentage  of oil  and gas
               sales, these  expenses increased  slightly to 13.8%  for the
               six months ended June 30, 1995 from 12.3% for the six months

               ended June 30, 1994.  This percentage increase was primarily
               a result of the decrease in the average price of natural gas
               sold during the six  months ended June 30, 1995  as compared
               to the six months ended June 30, 1994.

                  Oil and gas sales                  $129,189   $251,024   
                  Oil and gas production expenses    $ 28,900   $ 33,318   
                  Barrels produced                        393        656   
                  Mcf produced                         69,394    136,823   
                  Average price/Bbl                  $  16.66   $  15.23   
                  Average price/Mcf                  $   1.77   $   1.76   

               As shown in the  table, oil and natural gas  sales decreased
               48.5% for the three  months ended June 30, 1995  as compared
               to  the three  months ended  June 30,  1994.   This decrease
               resulted primarily from the decreases  in the volumes of oil
               and  natural gas sold during the three months ended June 30,
               1995  as compared to the  three months ended  June 30, 1994.
               Volumes  of oil and  natural gas sold  decreased 263 barrels
               and  67,429 Mcf,  respectively, for  the three  months ended
               June 30, 1995 as compared to the three months ended June 30,
               1994.  The decrease in the volumes of oil sold was primarily
               the  result of  a significant  positive prior  period volume
               adjustment  from a  purchaser on  one well during  the three
               months ended June  30, 1994.  The decrease in the volumes of
               natural gas  sold resulted  primarily from a  negative prior
               period volume  adjustment from  a purchaser on  another well
               during  the  three months  ended  June  30,  1995.   Average
               natural gas prices remained relatively constant at $1.77 per
               Mcf for  the three months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to
               $1.76  per Mcf  for the  three months  ended June  30, 1994,
               while average oil prices increased to $16.66 per barrel  for
               the  three months ended June 30, 1995 from $15.23 per barrel
               for the three months ended June 30, 1994.

               Oil and gas production  expenses (including lease  operating
               expenses and  production  taxes) decreased  $4,418  for  the
               three  months ended June 30,  1995 as compared  to the three
               months  ended  June  30,   1994.    This  decrease  resulted
               primarily  from  the  decrease  in the  volumes  of  oil and
               natural gas sold during the three months ended June 30, 1995
               as compared to  the three months ended June 30,  1994.  As a
               percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to
               22.4%  for the three months  ended June 30,  1995 from 13.3%
               for the three months  ended June 30, 1994.   This percentage
               increase was primarily  a result  of the fixed  nature of  a
               majority  of lease  operating expenses  incurred during  the

               months ended June 30, 1994.

               Depreciation,  depletion, and  amortization of  oil and  gas
               properties decreased $36,984 for the three months ended June
               30,  1995 as  compared to  the three  months ended  June 30,
               1994.  This decrease  was primarily the result of  an upward
               revision in  the estimate of the  1979-2 Program's remaining
               natural gas reserves and the decreases in the volumes of oil
               and  natural gas sold during the three months ended June 30,
               1995  as compared to the  three months ended  June 30, 1994.
               As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased
               to 23.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1995 from 26.6%
               for the three months  ended June 30, 1994.   This percentage
               decrease was  primarily a result  of the dollar  decrease in
               depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense related to
               the upward revision in the estimate of reserves as discussed
               above.

               General and administrative expenses increased $1,794 for the
               three  months ended June 30,  1995 as compared  to the three
               months  ended  June  30,   1994.    This  increase  resulted
               primarily  from   an  increase   in  the  1979-2   Program's
               professional  fees during  the three  months ended  June 30,
               1995  as compared to the  three months ended  June 30, 1994.
               As  a  percentage  of  oil  and  gas  sales, these  expenses
               increased to 8.5% for  the three months ended June  30, 1995
               from 3.7% for the  three months ended June  30, 1994.   This
               percentage increase was primarily  a result of the decreases
               in the volumes of oil and natural gas  sold during the three
               months ended June 30,  1995 as compared to the  three months
               ended June 30, 1994.

               As shown in the  table, oil and natural gas  sales decreased
               by 41.9%  for the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared
               to  the six  months  ended June  30,  1994.   This  decrease
               resulted  from  the decreases  in  the  volumes of  oil  and
               natural  gas sold and the  decrease in the  average price of
               natural gas  sold, partially offset  by the increase  in the
               average price of oil  sold during the six months  ended June
               30, 1995 as  compared to the six months ended June 30, 1994.

               Volumes of oil  and natural gas  sold decreased 919  barrels
               and 62,081 Mcf, respectively, for  the six months ended June
               30, 1995 as compared to the six months ended  June 30, 1994.
               The  decrease in the volumes  of oil sold  was primarily the
               result  of  a  significant  positive  prior  period   volume
               adjustment  from a  purchaser  on one  well  during the  six

               period volume  adjustment from  a purchaser on  another well
               during  the six months ended June 30, 1995.  Average natural
               gas prices decreased  to $1.45  per Mcf for  the six  months
               ended June  30, 1995 from $1.88  per Mcf for the  six months
               ended June  30, 1994, while average oil  prices increased to
               $16.38 per barrel  for the  six months ended  June 30,  1994
               from  $14.87 per  barrel for the  six months ended June  30,
               1994.

               Oil and  gas production expenses (including  lease operating
               expenses and production taxes) decreased $13,734 for the six
               months ended June  30, 1995  as compared to  the six  months
               ended June 30, 1994.  This decrease  resulted primarily from
               the decrease in the volumes of  oil and gas sold during  the
               six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the six months
               ended June  30, 1994.  As a percentage of oil and gas sales,
               these expenses increased to  20.0% for the six  months ended
               June 30, 1995  from 14.3% for the six  months ended June 30,
               1994.   This percentage  increase was primarily  a result of
               the decrease in the average price of natural gas sold during
               the six  months ended June 30,  1995 as compared to  the six
               months ended June 30, 1994.

               Depreciation,  depletion, and  amortization of  oil and  gas
               properties decreased  $46,568 for the six  months ended June
               30, 1995 as compared to the  six months ended June 30, 1994.
               This decrease was primarily the result of an upward revision
               in the  estimate of  the 1979-2 Program's  remaining natural
               gas reserves and  the decreases  in the volumes  of oil  and
               natural gas sold during  the six months ended June  30, 1995
               as  compared to the  six months ended  June 30, 1994.   As a
               percentage  of  oil and  gas  sales,  this expense  remained
               relatively constant at 23.9%  for the six months ended  June
               30, 1995 compared to 23.0% for the six months ended June 30,
               1994.

               General and administrative expenses increased $2,646 for the
               six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the six months
               ended June 30, 1994.   This increase resulted primarily from
               an increase in the 1979-2 Program's professional fees during
               the six  months ended June 30,  1995 as compared  to the six

               30,  1994.  This percentage increase  was primarily a result
               of the decrease in  the volumes of oil and  natural gas sold
               and  the decrease in the  average price of  natural gas sold
