                CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            MARCH 31, 1997
                              (Unaudited)
1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     -------------------

     The balance sheets 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
     1980-1 and 1980-2 Limited Partnerships (individually, the "1980-1
     Program"  or  the  "1980-2 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 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 Programs' 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

                                  -8-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     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 March 31, 1997 and 1996 the 1980-1 Program
     incurred   such   expenses   totaling   $22,861    and   $20,033,
     respectively,  of which $14,022 was paid each quarter to Dyco and
     each  affiliates.  During the  three months ended  March 31, 1997
     and  1996  the 1980-2  Program  incurred  such expenses  totaling
     $32,474 and $28,673, respectively, of which $21,405 was paid each
     quarter 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.

     The  receivable  from  the  General  Partner  at March  31,  1997
     represents proceeds due to the 1980-2 Program for the sale of oil
     and gas properties.  Subsequent to March 31, 1997 such 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 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, or 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.

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

     GENERAL DISCUSSION

     The following  general discussion  should be read  in conjunction

                                 -10-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     with the analysis of  results of operations provided below.   The
     most important  variable affecting the Programs'  revenues is the
     prices received for the sale of  oil and gas.  Predicting  future
     prices is very difficult.  Substantially all of the Programs' 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, 1997 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
     ENDED MARCH 31, 1996.

                                       Three months ended March 31,

                                        --------        --------
      Oil and gas sales                 $225,567        $183,176
      Oil and gas production expenses   $ 37,447        $ 63,694
      Barrels produced                       487             538
      Mcf produced                        94,984          89,858
      Average price/Bbl                 $  22.31        $  18.48
      Average price/Mcf                 $   2.26        $   1.93

     As shown  in the table above,  total oil and  gas sales increased
     $42,391  (23.1%) for  the three  months ended  March 31,  1997 as
     compared  to the  three months  ended March  31, 1996.   Of  this
     increase,  approximately $31,000 and  $10,000, respectively, were
     related to the increases in the average price and volumes  of gas
     sold.  Volumes of oil sold decreased 51 barrels, while volumes of
     gas sold increased 5,126 Mcf for the three months ended March 31,
     1997  as compared  to  the three  months  ended March  31,  1996.
     Average oil and  gas prices  increased to $22.31  per barrel  and
     $2.26 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months ended March 31,
     1997  from $18.48 per barrel and $1.93 per Mcf, respectively, for
     the three months ended March 31, 1996.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
     expenses and production taxes)  decreased $26,247 (41.2%) for the
     three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the three months
     ended  March 31, 1996.  This decrease resulted primarily from (i)
     a  decrease in environmental charges incurred  on one well during
     the three  months ended March 31,  1997 as compared to  the three
     months ended March  31, 1996, (ii)  the sale  of one well  during
     1996, and  (iii) workover expenses  incurred on two  wells during
     the  three months ended  March 31, 1996  in order to  improve the
     recovery  of  reserves,  partially   offset  by  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  16.6% for  the three  months ended
     March 31, 1997  from 34.8% for  the three months ended  March 31,
     1996.  This percentage  decrease was primarily due to  the dollar
     decrease in production expenses discussed above and the increases
     in the average prices of oil and gas sold during the three months
     ended March 31, 1997 as compared to  the three months ended March

                                 -11-

     31, 1996.

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and   amortization  of  oil   and  gas
     properties increased  $16,187 (43.2%) for the  three months ended
     March 31, 1997  as compared to the  three months ended March  31,
     1996.   This increase resulted  primarily from 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
     23.8% for the three  months ended March 31,  1997 from 20.5%  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  increases in the average  prices of oil  and 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 $2,828 (14.1%) 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, these expenses
     remained relatively constant at 10.1%  for the three months ended
     March  31, 1997 as compared  to 10.9% for  the three months ended
     March 31, 1996.

      Average price/Mcf                 $   2.33        $   1.90

     As shown  in the table above,  total oil and gas  sales increased
     $74,498  (38.9%) for  the three  months ended  March 31,  1997 as
     compared to  the three  months  ended March  31, 1996.   Of  this
     increase, approximately $47,000  and $28,000, respectively,  were
     related to the  increases in the average price and volumes of gas
     sold.  Volumes of  oil sold decreased 128 barrels,  while volumes
     of gas sold increased 14,644 Mcf for the three months ended March
     31, 1997  as compared to  the three months ended  March 31, 1996.
     The decrease  in  volumes of  oil  sold resulted  primarily  from
     normal declines  in production due to diminished  oil reserves on
     three  wells.   The  increase in  volumes  of gas  sold  resulted
     primarily from  a positive prior period  gas balancing adjustment
     made  by the operator  on one well during  the three months ended
     March 31,  1997.  Average oil and  gas prices increased to $22.11
     per  barrel and $2.33 per Mcf, respectively, for the three months
     ended March 31,  1997 from $18.42 per  barrel and $1.90  per Mcf,

     three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the three months
     ended  March 31, 1996.  This decrease resulted primarily from (i)

     as compared to the  three months ended March 31,  1996, partially
     offset by  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  16.1% for the
     three months ended March 31, 1997 from 32.9% for the three months
     ended March 31, 1996.  This percentage decrease was primarily due
     to the dollar decrease in production expenses discussed above and
     the increases  in the average prices  of oil and  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  $16,837 (54.9%) for the  three months ended
     March 31, 1997  as compared to the  three months ended  March 31,
     1996.   This increase resulted  primarily from 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 remained
     relatively constant at 17.8% for the three months ended March 31,
     1997 as  compared to 16.0% for  the three months  ended March 31,
     1996.

     General and  administrative expenses increased $3,801 (13.3%) 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, these expenses
     decreased to 12.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from
     15.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This percentage
     decrease was primarily due to  the increase in oil and  gas sales
     discussed above.
