      adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
      present  fairly the financial  position at September 30, 2001,  results of
      operations  for the three and nine  months  ended  September  30, 2001 and
      2000,  and changes in cash flows for the nine months ended  September  30,
      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 September 30, 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.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Program
      paid  recompletion  costs of  approximately  $34,000 on the Crawford #1-24
      well  located in Pittsburg  County,  Oklahoma in which the Program owns an
      interest  of   approximately   42.8%.   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



                                       6
<PAGE>




      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 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  September  30, 2001 and 2000,
      the  Program   incurred  such  expenses   totaling  $14,652  and  $14,842,
      respectively,  of which  $11,805  was  paid  each  period  to Dyco and its
      affiliates.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the
      Program incurred such expenses totaling $50,356 and $48,638, respectively,
      of which $35,415 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.  However,  during the nine
      months ended  September  30, 2001 the Program paid  recompletion  costs of
      approximately  $34,000 on the  Crawford  #1-24 well  located in  Pittsburg
      County,  Oklahoma  in which the Program  owns an  interest  of 42.8%.  The
      recompletion  was  successful.   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.   Gas  prices  in  late  2000  and  early  2001  were
      significantly  higher  than the  Program's  historical  average.  This was
      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.  In the last  several  months,  however,  spot gas  prices  have
      substantially   declined.   A  weakening   economy  and  recent  terrorist
      activities may result in additional  downward pricing pressure.  It is not
      possible to accurately predict future pricing direction.

      Average price/Bbl                            $ 26.77          $     -
      Average price/Mcf                            $  2.30          $  4.52

      As shown in the table  above,  total oil and gas sales  decreased  $39,935
      (50.9%) for the three months ended  September  30, 2001 as compared to the
      three months ended  September  30, 2000. Of this  decrease,  approximately
      $36,000 was  related to a decrease  in the  average  price of gas sold and
      approximately  $4,000 was  related  to a decrease  in volumes of gas sold.
      Volumes  of oil sold  increased  31  barrels,  while  volumes  of gas sold
      decreased  970  Mcf for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  2001 as
      compared to the three months  ended  September  30, 2000.  The average oil
      price was $26.77 per barrel for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
      Average gas prices  decreased  to $2.30 per Mcf for the three months ended
      September 30, 2001 from $4.52 per Mcf for the three months ended September
      30, 2000.

      Oil and gas production  expenses  (including lease operating  expenses and
      production  taxes)  increased  $266  (1.2%)  for the  three  months  ended
      September  30, 2001 as compared to the three  months ended  September  30,
      2000. This increase was primarily due to repair and  maintenance  expenses
      incurred on one well during the three  months  ended  September  30, 2001.
      This increase was  substantially  offset by a decrease in production taxes
      associated  with the decrease in oil and gas sales. As a percentage of oil
      and gas sales,  these  expenses  increased  to 59.5% for the three  months
      ended  September 30, 2001 from 28.9% for the three months ended  September
      30, 2000.  This  percentage  increase was primarily due to the decrease in
      the average price of gas sold.

      Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization  of oil  and  gas  properties
      increased  $19,339  (608.3%) for the three months ended September 30, 2001
      as compared to the three months ended  September  30, 2000.  This increase
      was  primarily  due to (i) an  increase  in the  depletable  oil  and  gas
      properties  at September 30, 2001 as compared to September 30, 2000 due to
      recompletion  costs  incurred  on one  well  during  late  2000 and (ii) a
      decrease in the gas price used in the  valuation  of reserves at September
      30, 2001 as compared to September



                                       10

      30, 2000. As a percentage of oil and gas sales,  this expense increased to
      58.4% for the three  months  ended  September  30,  2001 from 4.0% for the
      three  months  ended  September  30, 2000.  This  percentage  increase was
      primarily  due to the  decrease in the  average  price of gas sold and the
      dollar increase in depreciation, depletion, and amortization.

      General and  administrative  expenses  decreased $190 (1.3%) for the three
      months  ended  September  30, 2001 as compared to the three  months  ended
      September 30, 2000. As a percentage of oil and gas sales,  these  expenses
      increased  to 38.0% for the three  months  ended  September  30, 2001 from
      18.9% for the three  months ended  September  30,  2000.  This  percentage
      increase was primarily due to the decrease in oil and gas sales.

      NINE MONTHS  ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30, 2001  COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED

      Average price/Mcf                            $   4.64        $   3.11

      As shown in the table above,  total oil and gas sales  increased  $200,622
      (100.2%) for the nine months ended  September  30, 2001 as compared to the
      nine months ended  September  30, 2000.  Of this  increase,  approximately
      $132,000  was related to an increase in the average  price of gas sold and
      approximately  $70,000  was related to an increase in volumes of gas sold.
      Volumes  of oil sold  decreased  25  barrels,  while  volumes  of gas sold
      increased  22,458 Mcf for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2001 as
      compared to the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000.  The increase in
      volumes of gas sold was primarily due to the  successful  recompletion  of
      one well during late 2000.  This increase was partially  offset by (i) the
      Program's  receipt of a  decreased  percentage  of sales on  another  well
      during the nine months ended  September  30, 2001 due to gas balancing and
      (ii)  normal  declines  in  production.  As of the date of this  Quarterly
      Report,  management  expects the gas balancing  adjustment to continue for
      the foreseeable future,  thereby continuing to contribute to a decrease in
      volumes of gas produced. Average oil prices decreased to $27.86 per barrel
      for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2001 from $29.29 per barrel for
      the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  Average gas prices increased to
      $4.64 per Mcf for the

<PAGE>



      nine  months  ended  September  30,  2001 from  $3.11 per Mcf for the nine
      months  ended  September  30,  2000.

      Oil and gas  production expenses(including lease  operating  expenses  and
      production  taxes)  increased   $22,197  (35.6%) for the nine months ended
      September 30,  2001  as  compared  to  the nine months ended September 30,
      2000.  This  increase  was  primarily due to (i) an increase in production
      taxes associated with the increase in oil and gas sales and (ii)subsurface
      repair  and  maintenance  expenses    incurred on one well during the nine
      months ended September 30, 2001.   As  a  percentage of oil and gas sales,
      these expenses decreased to 21.1% for the nine months ended  September 30,
      2001 from 31.1%  for  the  nine  months  ended  September 30, 2000.   This
      percentage decrease was primarily due to the increase in the average price
      of gas sold.

      Depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization  of oil  and  gas  properties
      increased $41,841 (483.4%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as
      compared to the nine months ended  September  30, 2000.  This increase was
      primarily due to (i) an increase in the  depletable oil and gas properties
      at  September   30,  2001  as  compared  to  September  30,  2000  due  to
      recompletion  costs incurred on one well during late 2000, (ii) a decrease
      in the gas price used in the  valuation of reserves at September  30, 2001
      as compared to September  30, 2000,  and (iii) the increase in the average
      price of gas sold.  As a  percentage  of oil and gas sales,  this  expense
      increased to 12.6% for the nine months ended  September 30, 2001 from 4.3%
      for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This percentage increase was
      primarily  due to the dollar  increase  in  depreciation,  depletion,  and
      amortization.

      General and  administrative  expenses increased $1,718 (3.5%) for the nine
      months  ended  September  30, 2001 as  compared  to the nine months  ended
      September 30, 2000. As a percentage of oil and gas sales,  these  expenses
      decreased to 12.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from 24.3%
      for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This percentage decrease was
      primarily due to the increase in oil and gas sales.
