DYCO OIL AND GAS PROGRAM 1979-1 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
DYCO OIL AND GAS PROGRAM 1979-2 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
(Unaudited)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-------------------
The balance sheets as of June 30, 2000, statements of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and statements of cash
flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 have been prepared
by Dyco Petroleum Corporation ("Dyco"), the General Partner of the Dyco
Oil and Gas Program 1979-1 and 1979-2 Limited Partnerships (individually,
the "1979-1 Program" or the "1979-2 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, 2000,
results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, and changes in cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999 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, 1999. The results of operations for the period
ended June 30, 2000 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 Programs' 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 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, 2000 and
1999 the 1979-1 Program incurred such expenses totaling $15,584 and
$11,746, respectively, of which $14,490 and $11,130, respectively, were
paid each period to Dyco and its affiliates. During the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 the 1979-1 Program incurred such expenses totaling
$38,197 and $27,896, respectively, of which $28,980 and $22,260,
respectively, were paid each period to Dyco and its affiliates. During the
three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 the 1979-2 Program incurred such
expenses totaling $13,204 and $8,391, respectively, of which $12,144 and
$7,803, respectively, were paid each period to Dyco and its affiliates.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 the 1979-2 Program
incurred such expenses totaling $33,406 and $20,455, respectively, of
which $24,288 and $15,606, respectively, were paid each period to Dyco and
its affiliates.
Affiliates of the Programs operate certain of the Programs' properties.
Their policy is to bill the Programs 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 Programs.
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 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.
11
<PAGE>
The Programs' available capital from subscriptions has been spent on oil
and gas drilling activities. There should be no further material capital
resource commitments in the future. The Programs have no debt commitments.
Management believes that cash for ordinary 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
variables affecting the Programs' revenues are the prices received for the
sale of oil and gas and the volumes of oil and gas produced. The Program's
production is mainly natural gas, so such pricing and volumes are the most
significant factors.
Due to the volatility of oil and gas prices, forecasting future prices is
subject to great uncertainty and inaccuracy. Substantially all of the
Programs' 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. It is likewise
difficult to predict production volumes. However, oil and gas are
depleting assets, so it can be expected that production levels will
decline over time. Recent gas prices have been higher than the Program's
historical average. This is attributable to the higher prices for crude
oil, a substitute fuel in some markets, and reduced production due to
lower capital investments in 1998 and 1999.

1979-1 PROGRAM
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1999.
Three Months Ended June 30,
---------------------------
2000 1999
------- -------
Oil and gas sales $94,131 $67,654
Oil and gas production expenses $14,399 $14,730
Barrels produced 62 94
Mcf produced 29,765 38,351
Average price/Bbl $ 26.94 $ 14.26
Average price/Mcf $ 3.11 $ 1.73
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales increased $26,477
(39.1%) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 1999. Of this increase, approximately $41,000 was
related to an increase in the average price of gas sold, which increase
was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $15,000 related to a
decrease in volumes of gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 32
barrels and 8,586 Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended June 30,
2000 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in
volumes of gas sold was primarily due to (i) a positive prior period
volume adjustment made by the purchaser on one well during the three
months ended June 30, 1999 and (ii) normal declines in production. Average
oil and gas prices increased to $26.94 per barrel and $3.11 per Mcf,
respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $14.26 per
barrel and $1.73 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended June
30, 1999.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $331 (2.2%) for the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999. As a
percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 15.3% for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from 21.8% for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the increases
in the average prices of oil and gas sold.
13
<PAGE>
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $2,039 (58.2%) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was
primarily due to (i) the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold and (ii)
an increase in the oil and gas prices used in the valuation of reserves at
June 30, 2000 as compared to June 30, 1999. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, this expense decreased to 1.6% for the three months ended June 30,
2000 from 5.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. This percentage
decrease was primarily due to increases in the average prices of oil and
gas sold and the dollar decrease in depreciation, depletion, and
amortization.
General and administrative expenses increased $3,838 (32.7%) for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the three months ended June 30,
1999. This increase was primarily due to a change in allocation among the
1979-1 Program and other affiliated programs of indirect general and
administrative expenses reimbursed to the General Partner. As a percentage
of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 16.6% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 from 17.4% for the three months ended June 30,
1999.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1999.
Six Months Ended June 30,
-------------------------
2000 1999
-------- --------
Oil and gas sales $156,390 $113,505
Oil and gas production expenses $ 23,457 $ 25,057
Barrels produced 97 150
Mcf produced 56,413 67,879
Average price/Bbl $ 26.92 $ 13.71
Average price/Mcf $ 2.73 $ 1.64
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales increased $42,885
(37.8%) for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the six
months ended June 30, 1999. Of this increase, approximately $61,000 was
related to an increase in the average price of gas sold, which increase
was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $19,000 related to a
decrease in volumes of gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 53
barrels and 11,466 Mcf, respectively, for the six months ended June 30,
2000 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in
volumes of gas sold was primarily due to (i) a positive prior period
volume adjustment made by the purchaser on one well during the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and (ii) normal declines in production. Average oil
14
<PAGE>
and gas prices increased to $26.92 per barrel and $2.73 per Mcf,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $13.71 per
barrel and $1.64 per Mcf, respectively, for the six months ended June 30,
1999.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) decreased $1,600 (6.4%) for the six months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999. As a
percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 15.0% for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 from 22.1% for the six months ended June
30, 1999. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the increases in
the average prices of oil and gas sold.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $3,307 (42.5%) for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was
primarily due to (i) the decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold and (ii)
an increase in the oil and gas prices used in the valuation of reserves at
June 30, 2000 as compared to June 30, 1999. As a percentage of oil and gas
sales, this expense decreased to 2.9% for the six months ended June 30,
2000 from 6.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This percentage
decrease was primarily due to the increases in the average prices of oil
and gas sold and the dollar decrease in depreciation, depletion, and
amortization.
General and administrative expenses increased $10,301 (36.9%) for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the six months ended June 30,
1999. This increase was primarily due to a change in allocation among the
1979-1 Program and other affiliated programs of audit fees and indirect
general and administrative expenses reimbursed to the General Partner. As
a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 24.4% for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 24.6% for the six months ended
June 30, 1999.

Mcf produced 32,165 29,789
Average price/Bbl $ 27.82 $ 13.96
Average price/Mcf $ 3.69 $ 2.46
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales increased $45,088
(57.7%) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 1999. Of this increase, approximately $40,000 was
related to an increase in the average price of gas sold and approximately
$6,000 was related to an increase in volumes of gas sold. Volumes of oil
sold decreased 184 barrels while volumes of gas sold increased 2,376 Mcf
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 1999. Average oil and gas prices increased to $27.82 per
barrel and $3.69 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended June
30, 2000 from $13.96 per barrel and $2.46 per Mcf, respectively, for the
three months ended June 30, 1999.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) increased $5,043 (31.5%) for the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999. This
increase was primarily due to (i) new compression expenses incurred on one
well during the three months ended June 30, 2000 and (ii) an increase in
production taxes associated with the increase in oil and gas sales. As a
percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 17.1% for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from 20.5% for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the increases
in the average prices of oil and gas sold.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
decreased $3,564 (59.7%) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was
primarily due to (i) an increase in the oil and gas prices used in the
valuation of reserves at June 30, 2000 as compared to June 30, 1999 and
(ii) upward revisions in the estimates of remaining oil and gas reserves
at December 31, 1999. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense
decreased to 2.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 7.6% for
the three months ended June 30, 1999. This percentage decrease was
primarily due to the dollar decrease in depreciation, depletion, and
amortization and the increases in the average prices of oil and gas sold.
General and administrative expenses increased $4,813 (57.4%) for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the three months ended June 30,
1999. This increase was primarily due to a change in allocation among the
1979-2 Program and other affiliated programs of indirect general and
administrative expenses reimbursed to the General Partner. As a percentage
of oil and gas sales, these expenses remained constant at 10.7% for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 and for the three months ended June 30,
1999.

a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to 15.4% for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 15.0% for the six months ended
