CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2001
(Unaudited)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-------------------
The balance sheet as of March 31, 2001, statements of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, and statements of cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 have been prepared by
Dyco Petroleum Corporation ("Dyco"), the General Partner of the Dyco Oil
and Gas Program 1981-1 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, 2001, results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 2001 and 2000, and changes in cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000 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, 2000. The results of operations for the period
ended March 31, 2001 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-
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, 2001 and 2000, the
Program incurred such expenses totaling $17,805 and $15,630, respectively,
of which $6,441 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.
-7-
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. 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 Program's 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
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. 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 significantly 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.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
31, 2000.
Three Months Ended March 31,
----------------------------
2001 2000
-------- -------
Oil and gas sales $105,324 $42,015
Oil and gas production expenses $ 16,590 $10,242
Barrels produced 29 29
Mcf produced 14,892 16,886
Average price/Bbl $ 28.79 $ 33.93
Average price/Mcf $ 7.02 $ 2.43
As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales increased $63,309
(150.7%) for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase was related to an
increase in the average price of gas sold. Volumes of oil sold remained
constant for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2000. Volumes of gas sold decreased 1,994 Mcf
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2000. The decrease in volumes of gas sold was primarily
due to normal declines in production. Average oil prices decreased to
$28.79 per barrel for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $33.93
per barrel for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Average gas prices
increased to $7.02 per Mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from
$2.43 per Mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and
production taxes) increased $6,348 (62.0%) for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000. This
increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in production taxes
associated with the increase in oil and gas sales and (ii) legal expenses
incurred on one well during the three months ended March 31, 2001 related
to a settlement agreement. These increases were partially offset by the
sale of one well during late 2000. As a percentage of oil and gas sales,
these expenses decreased to 15.8% for the three months ended March 31,
2001 from 24.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This percentage
decrease was primarily due to the increase in the average price of gas
sold.
-9-
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties
increased $208 (11.9%) for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in the average price of gas sold. This
increase was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation, depletion,
and amortization due to an increase in the gas price used in the valuation
of reserves at March 31, 2001 as compared to March 31, 2000. As a
percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 1.9% for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 from 4.2% for the three months ended
March 31, 2000. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the increase
in the gas price used in the valuation of reserves.
General and administrative expenses increased $2,175 (13.9%) for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the three months ended March
31, 2000. This increase was primarily due to increases in (i) printing and
postage expenses, (ii) reserve study fees, and (iii) professional fees. As
a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 16.9% for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 from 37.2% for the three months
ended March 31, 2000. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the
increase in oil and gas sales.
