BUSINESS General The Dyco Oil and Gas Program 1986-X Limited Partnership (the "Program") is a Minnesota limited partnership engaged in the production of oil and gas. The Program commenced operations on Decem- ber 12, 1986 with the primary financial objective of investing its limited partners' subscriptions in the drilling of oil and gas prospects and then distributing to its limited partners all available cash flow from the Program's on-going production operations. Dyco Petroleum Corporation ("Dyco") serves as the General Partner of the Program. See "Item 2. Properties" for a description of the Program's reserves and properties. The limited partnership agreement for the Program provides that limited partners are allocated 99% of all Program costs and revenues and that Dyco, as General Partner, is allocated 1% of all Program costs and revenues. Included in such costs is the Program's reimbursement to Dyco of the Program's proportionate share of Dyco's geological, engineering, and general and administrative expenses. Dyco serves as General Partner of 34 limited partnerships, including the Program. Dyco is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samson Natural Gas Company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samson Investment Company. Samson Investment Company and its various corporate subsidiaries, including Dyco, (collectively, the "Samson Companies") are engaged in the production and development of and exploration for oil and gas reserves and the acquisition and operation of producing properties. At December 31, 1995, the Samson Companies owned interests in approximately 18,000 oil and gas wells located in 19 states of the U.S. and 3 provinces of Canada. At December 31, 1995, the Samson Companies operated approximately 3,100 oil and gas wells located in 15 states of the U.S. and 2 provinces of Canada, Venezuela, and Russia. As a limited partnership, the Program has no officers, directors, or employees. It relies instead on the personnel of Dyco and the other Samson Companies. As of February 1, 1996, the Samson Companies employed approximately 830 persons. No employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements, and management believes that the Samson Companies provide a sound employee relations environment. For information regarding the executive officers of Dyco, see "Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant." 1 Dyco's and the Program's principal place of business is located at Samson Plaza, Two West Second Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103, and their telephone number is (918) 583-1791 or (800) 535-1791. Funding Although the Program's partnership agreement permits the Program to incur borrowings, the Program's operations and expenses are currently funded out of the Program's revenues from oil and gas sales. Dyco may, but is not required to, advance funds to the Program for the same purposes for which Program borrowings are authorized. Principal Products Produced and Services Rendered The Program's sole business is the development and production of oil and natural gas with a concentration on natural gas. The Program does not hold any patents, trademarks, licenses, or concessions and is not a party to any government contracts. The Program has no backlog of orders and does not participate in research and development activities. The Program is not presently encountering shortages of oilfield tubular goods, compressors, production material, or other equipment. Oil, Gas, and Environmental Control Regulations Regulation of Production Operations -- The production of oil and gas is subject to extensive federal and state laws and regulations governing a wide variety of matters, including the drilling and spacing of wells, allowable rates of production, prevention of waste and pollution, and protection of the environment. In addition to the direct costs borne in complying with such regulations, operations and revenues may be impacted to the extent that certain regulations limit oil and gas production to below economic levels. Regulation of Sales and Transportation of Oil and Natural Gas -- Sales of crude oil and condensate are made by the Program at market prices and are not subject to price controls. The sale of natural gas may be subject to both federal and state laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the Natural Gas Act of 1938 (the "NGA"), the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (the "NGPA"), and regulations promulgated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the "FERC") under the NGA, the NGPA, and other statutes. The provisions of the NGA and the NGPA, as well as the regulations thereunder, are complex and affect all who produce, resell, transport, or purchase natural gas, including the Program. Although virtually all of the Program's gas production is not subject to price 2 regulation, the NGA, NGPA, and FERC regulations affect the availability of gas transportation services and the ability of gas consumers to continue to purchase or use gas at current levels. Accordingly, such regulations may have a material effect on the Program's operations and projections of future oil and gas production and revenues. Future Legislation -- Legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is under constant review for amendment or expansion. Because such laws and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted, management is unable to predict what additional energy legislation may be proposed or enacted or the future cost and impact of complying with existing or future regulations. Regulation of the Environment -- The Program's operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Compliance with such laws and regulations, together with any penalties resulting from noncompliance therewith, may increase the cost of the Program's operations or may affect the Program's ability to complete, in a timely fashion, existing or future activities. Management anticipates that various local, state, and federal environmental control agencies will have an increasing impact on oil and gas operations. Significant Customers Purchases of gas by Premier Gas Company ("Premier") accounted for approximately 93.1% of the Program's oil and gas revenues during the year ended December 31, 1995. Premier was an affiliate of the Program until December 6, 1995. See "Item 11. Executive Compensation." In the event of interruption of purchases by this significant customer or the cessation or material change in availability of open-access transportation by the Program's pipeline transporters, the Program may encounter difficulty in marketing its gas and in maintaining historic sales levels. Alternative purchasers or transporters may not be readily available. The Program's principal customers for crude oil production are refiners and other companies which have pipeline facilities near the producing properties of the Program. In the event pipeline facilities are not conveniently available to production areas, crude oil is usually trucked by purchasers to storage facilities. 3 Competition and Marketing The oil and gas industry is highly competitive, with a large number of companies and individuals engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties. The ability of the Program to produce and market oil and gas profitably depends on a number of factors that are beyond the control of the Program. These factors include worldwide political instability (especially in oil-producing regions), the supply and price of foreign imports of oil and gas, the level of consumer product demand (which is heavily influenced by weather patterns), government regulations and taxes, the price and availability of alternative fuels, the overall economic environment, and the availability and capacity of transportation and processing facilities. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted or anticipated. As a general rule, in recent years, worldwide oil production capacity and gas production capacity in certain areas of the United States exceeded demand and resulted in a decline in the average price of oil and gas in the United States. During the later part of 1994 and 1995, however, average oil prices in the United States increased. Oil prices increased from approximately $16.50 per barrel at Decem- ber 31, 1994 to approximately $18.50 per barrel at December 31, 1995. Management is unable to predict whether future oil prices will (i) stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease. Gas sales contract prices have generally declined significantly since the mid-1980s due to a number of factors, including a nationwide surplus of gas and increased competition. Competition has increased among United States gas marketers due to the gas surplus, the partial deregulation of gas prices, the conversion by major pipelines to open access transportation, and the lack of strong residential demand for natural gas during the winter months for the last few years as a result of warm winters in much of the United States. However, spot gas prices in the areas where the Program's gas is marketed increased during the later part of 1995 compared to prices received in the later part of 1994 and the first several months of 1995. Substantially all of the Program's natural gas reserves are being sold in the "spot market." Due to the highly competitive nature of the spot market, prices on the spot market are subject to wide seasonal and regional pricing fluctuations. In addition, such spot market sales are generally short-term in nature and are dependent upon the obtaining of transportation services provided by pipelines. 4 The Program's spot gas prices increased from approximately $1.67 per Mcf at December 31, 1994 to approximately $2.00 per Mcf at December 31, 1995. Such prices were on an MMBTU basis and differ from the prices actually received by the Program due to transportation and marketing costs, BTU adjustments, and regional price and quality differences. Future prices will likely be different from (and may be lower than) the prices in effect on December 31, 1995. In many past years, year-end prices have tended to be higher, and in some cases significantly higher, than the yearly average price actually received by the Program for at least the year following the year-end valuation date. Management is unable to predict whether future gas prices will (i) stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease. Insurance Coverage The Program is subject to all of the risks inherent in the exploration for and production of oil and gas, including blowouts, pollution, fires, and other casualties. The Program maintains insurance coverage as is customary for entities of a similar size engaged in operations similar to that of the Program, but losses can occur from uninsurable risks or in amounts in excess of existing insurance coverage. The occurrence of an event which is not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the Program's financial position and results of operations. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Well Statistics The following table sets forth the numbers of gross and net productive wells of the Program as of December 31, 1995. Well Statistics(1) As of December 31, 1995 Gross productive wells(2): Oil 1 Gas 10 -- Total 11 Net productive wells(3): Oil .24 Gas 1.51 ---- Total 1.75 - - ---------- 5 (1) The designation of a well as an oil well or gas well is made by Dyco based on the relative amount of oil and gas reserves for the well. Regardless of a well's oil or gas designation, it may produce oil, gas, or both oil and gas. (2) As used throughout this Annual Report, "Gross Well" refers to a well in which a working interest is owned. The number of gross wells is the total number of wells in which a working interest is owned. (3) As used throughout this Annual Report, "Net Well" refers to the sum of the fractional working interests owned in gross wells expressed as whole numbers and fractions thereof. For example, a 15% leasehold interest in a well represents one Gross Well, but 0.15 Net Well. Drilling Activities The Program participated in no drilling activities for the year ended December 31, 1995. Oil and Gas Production, Revenue, and Price History The following table sets forth certain historical information concerning the oil (including condensates) and natural gas production, net of all royalties, overriding royalties, and other third party interests, of the Program, revenues attributable to such production, and certain price and cost information. Net Production Data Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------- 1995 1994 1993 -------- -------- -------- Production: Oil (Bbls)(1) 398 567 671 Gas (Mcf)(2) 94,215 107,064 116,203 Oil and gas sales: Oil $ 6,685 $ 8,909 $ 11,410 Gas 127,800 170,095 213,572 ------- ------- ------- Total $134,485 $179,004 $224,982 ======= ======= ======= Total direct operating expenses $ 67,844 $ 61,076 $ 63,352 ======= ======= ======= 6 Direct operating expenses as a percentage of oil and gas sales 50.4% 34.1% 28.2% Average sales price: Per barrel of oil $16.80 $15.71 $17.00 Per Mcf of gas 1.36 1.59 1.84 Direct operating expenses per equivalent Mcf of gas(3) $ .70 $ .55 $ .53 - - ---------- (1) As used throughout this Annual Report, "Bbls" refers to barrels of 42 U.S. gallons and represents the basic unit for measuring the production of crude oil and condensate oil. (2) As used throughout this Annual Report, "Mcf" refers to volume of 1,000 cubic feet under prescribed conditions of pressure and temperature and represents the basic unit for measuring the production of natural gas. (3) Oil production is converted to gas equivalents at the rate of six Mcf per barrel, representing the estimated relative energy content of gas and oil, which rate is not necessarily indicative of the relationship of oil and gas prices. The respective prices of oil and gas are affected by market and other factors in addition to relative energy content. Proved Reserves and Net Present Value The following table sets forth the Program's estimated proved oil and gas reserves and net present value therefrom as of December 31, 1995. The schedule of quantities of proved oil and gas reserves was prepared by Dyco in accordance with the rules prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As used throughout this Annual Report, "proved reserves" refers to those estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Net present value represents estimated future gross cash flow from the production and sale of proved reserves, net of estimated oil and gas production costs (including production taxes, ad valorem taxes, and operating expenses), and estimated future development costs discounted at 10% per annum. Net present value attributable to the Program's proved reserves was calculated on the basis of current costs and prices at December 31, 1995. Such prices were not escalated except in certain circumstances where escalations were fixed and readily determinable in accordance with applicable contract provisions. The prices used by Dyco in calculating the net present 7 value attributable to the Program's proved reserves do not necessarily reflect market prices for oil and gas production subsequent to December 31, 1995. Furthermore, gas prices at December 31, 1995 were higher than the price used for determining the Program's net present value of proved reserves for the year ended December 31, 1994. There can be no assurance that the prices used in calculating the net present value of the Program's proved reserves at December 31, 1995 will actually be realized for such production. The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of available geological, engineering, and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of, among other things, additional development activity, production history, and viability of production under varying economic conditions; consequently, it is reasonably possible that material revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur in the near future. Although every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that the reserve estimates reported herein represent the most accurate assessment possible, the significance of the subjective decisions required and variances in available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates presented in connection with financial statement disclosures. Proved Reserves and Net Present Value From Proved Reserves As of December 31, 1995 Estimated proved reserves: Natural gas (Mcf) 316,119 Oil and liquids (Bbls) 1,114 Net present value (discounted at 10% per annum) $271,571 No estimates of the proved reserves of the Program comparable to those included herein have been included in reports to any federal agency other than the SEC. Additional information relating to the Program's proved reserves is contained in Note 4 to the Program's financial statements, included in Item 8 of this Annual Report. 8 Significant Properties As of December 31, 1995, the Program's properties consisted of 11 gross (1.75 net) productive wells in which the Program owned a working interest. The Program owned a non-working interest in one additional gross well. Affiliates of the Program operate 9 (75%) of its total wells. As of December 31, 1995, the Program's net interests in its properties resulted in estimated total proved reserves of 316,119 Mcf of natural gas and 1,114 barrels of oil, with a present value (discounted at 10% per annum) of estimated future net cash flow of $271,571. All of the Program's reserves are located in the Anadarko Basin of western Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle, which is an established oil and gas producing basin. Title to Oil and Gas Properties Management believes that the Program has satisfactory title to its oil and gas properties. Record title to substantially all of the Program's properties is held by Dyco as nominee. Title to the Program's properties is subject to customary royalty, overriding royalty, carried, working, and other similar interests and contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry, to liens for current taxes not yet due, and to other encumbrances. Management believes that such burdens do not materially detract from the value of such properties or from the Program's interest therein or materially interfere with their use in the operation of the Program's business. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS To the knowledge of the management of Dyco and the Program, neither Dyco, the Program, nor the Program's properties are subject to any litigation, the results of which would have a material effect on the Program's or Dyco's financial condition or operations. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF LIMITED PARTNERS There were no matters submitted to a vote of the limited partners during 1995. 9 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND RELATED LIMITED PARTNER MATTERS The Program does not have an established trading market for its units of limited partnership interest ("Units"). Pursuant to the terms of the Program's limited partnership agreement, Dyco, as General Partner, is obligated to annually offer a repurchase offer which is based on the estimated future net revenues from the Program's reserves and is calculated pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement. Such repurchase offer is recalculated monthly in order to reflect cash distributions made to the limited partners and other extraordinary events. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, Dyco's repurchase offer per Unit and the amount of the Program's cash distributions per Unit for the same period. For purposes of this Annual Report, a Unit represents an initial subscription of $5,000 to the Program. Repurchase Cash Price Distributions ---------- ------------- 1994: First Quarter $106 $ - Second Quarter 88 30 Third Quarter 88 - Fourth Quarter 63 25 1995: First Quarter $ 63 $ - Second Quarter 108 - Third Quarter 88 20 Fourth Quarter 88 - 1996: First Quarter $ 88 (1) - - ---------- (1) To be declared in March 1996. The Program has 2,021 Units outstanding and approximately 678 limited partners of record. 10 ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

11 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations General ------- The following general discussion should be read in conjunction with the analysis of results of operations provided below. In management's view, it is not possible to predict accurately either the short-term or long-term prices for oil or gas. Specifically, due to the oversupply of natural gas in recent years, certain of the Program's gas producing properties have suffered, and continue to suffer during portions of the year, production curtailments and seasonal reductions in the prices paid by purchasers. Additional curtailments and seasonal or regional price reductions will adversely affect the operations and financial condition of the Program. Gas sales prices, which have generally declined significantly since the mid-1980s, increased during the fourth quarter of 1995. See "Item 1. Business - Competition and Marketing." Actual future prices received by the Program will likely be different from (and may be lower than) the prices in effect on December 31, 1995. In many past years, year- end prices have tended to be higher, and in some cases significantly higher, than the yearly average price actually received by the Program for at least the year following the year-end valuation date. Management is unable to predict whether future gas prices will (i) stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease. The amount of the Program's cash flow, however, is dependent on such future gas prices. Year Ended December 31, 1995 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1994 ------------------------------------- Total oil and gas sales decreased 24.9% for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1994. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in both the volumes of oil and natural gas sold and the average price of natural gas sold. Volumes of oil and natural gas sold decreased 169 barrels and 12,849 Mcf, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1994. The decrease in the volumes of oil and natural gas sold was primarily due to a fluid loading problem on one well. Average oil prices increased to $16.80 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $15.71 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 1994, while average natural gas prices decreased to $1.36 per Mcf for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $1.59 per Mcf for the year ended December 31, 1994. 12 Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and production taxes) increased 11.1% for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1994. This increase was primarily due to surface and subsurface repair and maintenance expenses and compression expenses incurred on a few wells during 1995 in order to improve the recovery of reserves. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to 50.4% for the year ended December 31, 1995 from 34.1% for the year ended December 31, 1994. This percentage increase was primarily due to (i) the decrease in oil and gas sales and (ii) the dollar increase in oil and gas production expenses discussed above. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties decreased $15,060 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1994. This decrease was primarily due to upward revisions of previous reserve estimates. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 12.9% for the year ended December 31, 1995 from 18.1% for the year ended December 31, 1994. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the dollar decrease in depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties, partially offset by the decrease in oil and gas sales. General and administrative expenses increased $1,519 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1994 primarily due to an increase in both professional fees and printing and postage expenses. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to 16.1% for the year ended December 31, 1995 from 11.3% for the year ended December 31, 1994. This percentage increase was primarily due to the decrease in oil and gas sales. Year Ended December 31, 1994 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1993 ------------------------------------- Total oil and gas sales decreased 20.4% for the year ended Decem- ber 31, 1994 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1993. This decrease was due to decreases in the volumes and average prices of oil and natural gas sold. Volumes of oil and natural gas sold decreased slightly by 104 barrels and 9,139 Mcf, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the similar period in 1993. Average oil and natural gas prices decreased to $15.71 per barrel and $1.59 per Mcf for the year ended December 31, 1994 from averages of $17.00 per barrel and $1.84 per Mcf for the year ended December 31, 1993. 13 Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and production taxes) decreased slightly by 3.6% for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1993. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to 34.1% for the year ended December 31, 1994 compared to 28.2% for the year ended December 31, 1993. This percentage increase was due primarily to the decreases in the average prices of oil and natural gas sold and the fixed nature of a portion of oil and gas production expenses. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties decreased by $6,997 for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1993. This decrease was primarily due to the decreases in volumes of oil and natural gas sold. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense remained relatively constant at 18.1% for the year ended December 31, 1994 compared to 17.5% for the year ended December 31, 1993. General and administrative expenses decreased by $4,447 for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1993. This dollar decrease was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees during the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the similar period in 1993. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses remained relatively constant at 11.3% for the year ended December 31, 1994 compared to 11.0% for the year ended December 31, 1993. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net proceeds from operations less necessary operating capital are distributed to the limited partners on a quarterly basis. See "Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Limited Partnership Units and Related Limited Partner Matters." 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 reserves, thereby resulting in a positive economic impact. Assuming production levels for the year ended December 31, 1995, the Program's proved reserve quantities at December 31, 1995 would have a life of approximately 3.4 years for gas reserves and 2.8 years for oil reserves. The Program's available capital from the limited partners' subscriptions has been spent on oil and gas drilling activities and there should be no further material capital resource commitments in the future. The Program has no debt commitments. Cash for operational purposes will be provided by current oil and gas production. 14 There can be no assurance as to the amount of the Program's future cash distributions. The Program's ability to make cash distributions depends primarily upon the level of available cash flow generated by the Program's operating activities, which will be affected (either positively or negatively) by many factors beyond the control of the Program, including the price of and demand for oil and natural gas and other market and economic conditions. Even if prices and costs remain stable, the amount of cash available for distributions will decline over time (as the volume of production from producing properties declines) since the Program is not replacing production through acquisitions of producing properties and drilling. Inflation and Changing Prices Prices obtained for oil and gas production depend upon numerous factors, including the extent of domestic and foreign production, foreign imports of oil, market demand, domestic and foreign economic conditions in general, and governmental regulations and tax laws. The general level of inflation in the economy did not have a material effect on the operations of the Program in 1995. Oil and natural gas prices have fluctuated during recent years and generally have not followed the same pattern as inflation. See "Item 2. Properties - Oil and Gas Production, Revenue, and Price History." 15 ITEM 8.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Nature of Operations The Dyco Oil and Gas Program 1986-X Limited Partnership (the "Program"), a Minnesota limited partnership, commenced operations on December 12, 1986. Dyco Petroleum Corporation ("Dyco") is the General Partner of the Program. Affiliates of Dyco owned 501.15 (24.8%) of the Program's Units at December 31, 1995. The Program's sole business is the development and production of oil and natural gas with a concentration on natural gas. Substantially all of the Program's natural gas reserves are being sold regionally in the "spot market." Due to the highly competitive nature of the spot market, prices on the spot market are subject to wide seasonal and regional pricing fluctuations. In addition, such spot market sales are generally short-term in nature and are dependent upon the obtaining of transportation services provided by pipelines. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Program considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are not insured, which cause the Program to be subject to risk. Credit Risk Accrued oil and gas sales which are due from a variety of oil and natural gas purchasers subject the Program to a concentration of credit risk. Some of these purchasers are discussed in Note 3 - Major Customers. 21 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. Capitalized costs are depleted on the gross revenue method using estimates of proved reserves. The full cost amortization rates per equivalent Mcf of gas produced during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 were $0.18, $0.29, and $0.33, respectively. 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 year during which such excess occurs. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission rules provide that if prices decline subsequent to year end, any excess that results from these declines may also be charged to expense during the current year. 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. Deferred Charge Deferred Charge represents costs deferred for lease operating expenses incurred in connection with the Program's underproduced gas imbalance position. At December 31, 1995, cumulative total gas sales volumes for underproduced wells were less than the Program's pro-rata share of total gas production from these wells by 24,432 Mcf, resulting in prepaid lease operating expenses of $13,956. At December 31, 1994, cumulative total gas sales volumes for underproduced wells were less than the Program's pro- rata share of total gas production from these wells by 12,191 Mcf, resulting in prepaid lease operating expenses of $5,563. Accrued Liability Accrued Liability represents charges accrued for lease operating expenses incurred in connection with the Program's overproduced gas imbalance position. At December 31, 1995, cumulative total gas sales volumes for overproduced wells exceeded the Program's pro-rata share of total gas production from these wells by 17,015 Mcf, resulting in accrued lease operating expenses of $9,719. There was no such amount recorded at December 31, 1994. 22 Oil and Gas Sales The Program's oil and condensate production is sold, title passed, and revenue recognized at or near the Program's wells under short-term purchase contracts at prevailing prices in accordance with arrangements which are customary in the oil industry. Sales of natural gas applicable to the Program's interest in producing oil and gas leases are recorded as income when the gas is metered and title transferred pursuant to the gas sales contracts covering the Program's interest in natural gas reserves. During such times as the Program's sales of gas exceed its pro rata ownership in a well, such sales are recorded as income unless total sales from the well have exceeded the Program's share of estimated total gas reserves underlying the property at which time such excess is recorded as a liability. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, no such liability was recorded. Use of Estimates in Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Further, accrued oil and gas sales, the deferred charge, the gas imbalance payable, and the accrued liability all involve estimates which could materially differ from the actual amounts ultimately realized or incurred in the near term. Oil and gas reserves (see Note 4) also involve significant estimates which could materially differ from the actual amounts ultimately realized. Income Taxes Income or loss for income tax purposes is includable in the income tax returns of the partners. Accordingly, no recognition has been given to income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. 23 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 years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, such expenses totaled $21,713, $20,194, and $24,641, respectively, of which $16,080, $16,080, and $15,924, were paid 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, together with any compressor rentals, consulting, or other services provided. The Program sells gas at market prices to Premier Gas Company ("Premier") and other similar gas marketing firms. Such firms may then resell such gas to third parties at market prices. Premier was an affiliate of the Program until December 6, 1995. During 1995, 1994, and 1993, these sales totaled $125,252, $170,094, and $210,574, respectively. At December 31, 1995 and 1994 accrued oil and gas sales included $23,100 and $27,140, respectively, due from Premier. 3. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following purchaser individually accounted for more than 10% of the combined oil and gas revenues of the Program for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993: Purchaser 1995 1994 1993 --------- ----- ----- ----- Premier 93.1% 95.0% 93.6% In the event of interruption of purchases by this significant customer or the cessation or material change in availability of open-access transportation by the Program's pipeline transporters, the Program may encounter difficulty in marketing its gas and in maintaining historic sales levels. Alternative purchasers or transporters may not be readily available. 4. SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION The following supplemental information regarding the oil and gas activities of the Program is presented pursuant to the disclosure requirements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. 24 Capitalized Costs The Program's capitalized costs and accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization, and valuation allowance were as follows: December 31, -------------------------- 1995 1994 ------------ ------------ Proved properties $9,193,178 $9,192,361 Unproved properties, not subject to depreciation, depletion, and amortization - - --------- --------- $9,193,178 $9,192,361 Less accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization, and valuation allowance ( 9,110,776) ( 9,093,381) --------- --------- Net oil and gas properties $ 82,402 $ 98,980 ========= ========= Costs Incurred Costs incurred by the Program in connection with its oil and gas property acquisition, exploration, and development activities were as follows: December 31, ---------------------- 1995 1994 1993 ------ ------ ------ Acquisition of properties $ - $ - $ - Exploration costs - - - Development costs 817 - 2,411 ----- ----- ----- Total costs incurred $ 817 $ - $2,411 ===== ===== ===== 25
Quantities of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves - Unaudited Set forth below is a summary of the changes in the net quantities of the Program's proved crude oil and natural gas reserves for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993. Proved reserves were estimated by petroleum engineers employed by affiliates of Dyco. All of the Program's reserves are located in the United States and there are no proved undeveloped reserves. 1995 1994 1993 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ Oil Gas Oil Gas Oil Gas (Bbls) (Mcf) (Bbls) (Mcf) (Bbls) (Mcf) ------- --------- ------- --------- ------- --------- Proved reserves, beginning of year 1,385 344,116 3,497 332,848 2,949 405,003 Revisions of previous estimates 127 66,218 (1,545) 118,332 1,219 44,048 Sales of reserves - - - - - - Extensions and discoveries - - - - - - Production ( 398) ( 94,215) ( 567) (107,064) ( 671) (116,203) ----- ------- ----- ------- ----- ------- Proved reserves, end of year 1,114 316,119 1,385 344,116 3,497 332,848 ===== ======= ===== ======= ===== ======= Proved developed reserves: Beginning of year 1,385 344,116 3,497 332,848 2,949 405,003 ----- ------- ----- ------- ----- ------- End of year 1,114 316,119 1,385 344,116 3,497 332,848 ===== ======= ===== ======= ===== =======
26 The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of available geological, engineering, and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of, among other things, additional development activity, production history, and viability of production under varying economic conditions; con- sequently, it is reasonably possible that material revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur in the near future. Although every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that the reserve estimates reported herein represent the most accurate assessment possible, the significance of the subjective decisions required and variances in available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates presented in connection with financial statement disclosures.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Program is a limited partnership and, therefore, has no officers or directors. The following table summarizes the amounts paid by the Program as compensation and reimbursements to Dyco and its affiliates for the three years ended December 31, 1995: 29 Compensation/Reimbursement to Dyco and its affiliates Three Years Ended December 31, 1995 Type of Compensation/Reimbursement (1) Expense - - -------------------------------------- ------------------------- 1995 1994 1993 ------- ------- ------- Compensation: Operations $ (2) $ (2) $ (2) Gas Marketing $ (3) $ (3) $ (3) Reimbursements: General and Administrative, Geological, and Engineering Expenses and Direct Expenses(4) $16,080 $16,080 $15,924 - - ---------- (1) The authority for all of such compensation and reimbursement is the limited partnership agreement of the Program. With respect to the Operations activities noted in the table, management believes that such compensation is equal to or less than that charged by unaffiliated persons in the same geographic areas and under the same conditions. (2) Affiliates of the Program serve as operator of a substantial majority of the Program's wells. Dyco, as General Partner, contracts with such affiliates for services as operator of the wells. As operator, such affiliates are compensated at rates provided in the operating agreements in effect and charged to all parties to such agreement. The dollar amount of such compen- sation paid by the Program to such affiliates is impossible to quantify as of the date of this Annual Report. (3) Premier, an affiliate of the Program until December 6, 1995, purchased a portion of the Program's gas at market prices and resold such gas at market prices directly to end-users and local distribution companies. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 the Program sold $125,252, $170,094, and $210,574, respectively, of gas to Premier. (4) The Program reimburses Dyco and its affiliates for reasonable and necessary general and administrative, geological, and engineering expenses and direct expenses incurred in connection with their management and operation of the Program. The directors, officers, and employees of Dyco and its affiliates receive no direct remuneration from the Program for their services to the Program. See "Salary Reimbursement Table" below. The allocable general and administrative, geological, and engineering expenses are apportioned on a reasonable basis between the Program's business and all other oil and natural gas activities of Dyco and its affiliates, including Dyco's management and operation of affiliated oil and gas limited partnerships. The allocation to the Program of these costs is made by Dyco as General Partner. 30 As noted in the Compensation/Reimbursement Table above, the directors, officers, and employees of Dyco and their affiliates receive no direct remuneration from the Program for their services. However, to the extent such services represent direct involvement with the Program, as opposed to general corporate functions, such persons' salaries are allocated to and reimbursed by the Program. Such allocation to the Program's general and administrative, geological, and engineering expenses of the salaries of directors, officers, and employees of Dyco and its affiliates is based on internal records maintained by Dyco and its affiliates, and represents investor relations, legal, accounting, data processing, management, and other functions directly attributable to the Program's operations. The following table indicates the approximate amount of general and administrative expense reimbursement attributable to the salaries of the directors, officers, and employees of Dyco and its affiliates for the three years ended December 31, 1995: 31

No officer or director of Dyco or its affiliates provides full-time services to the Program and no individual's salary or other compensation reimbursement from the Program equals or exceeds $100,000 per annum.
32 In addition to the compensation/reimbursements noted above, during the three years ended December 31, 1995, the Samson Companies were in the business of supplying field and drilling equipment and services to affiliated and unaffiliated parties in the industry. Such companies may have provided equipment and services for wells in which the Program has an interest. These equipment and services were provided at prices or rates equal to or less than those normally charged in the same or comparable geographic area by unaffiliated persons or companies dealing at arm's length. The operators of these wells bill the Program for a portion of such costs based upon the Program's interest in the well. ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT The following table provides information as to the beneficial ownership of the Program's Units as of December 31, 1995 by each beneficial owner of more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Units and by the directors, officers, and affiliates of Dyco. The address of each of such persons is Samson Plaza, Two West Second Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103. Number of Units Beneficially Owned (Percent Beneficial Owner of Outstanding) ------------------------------- --------------- Samson Properties Incorporated 501.15 (24.8%) All directors, officers, and affiliates of Dyco as a group and Dyco (8 persons) 501.15 (24.8%) To the best knowledge of the Program and Dyco, there were no officers, directors, or 5% owners who were delinquent filers of reports required under section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 33 ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Dyco and certain of its affiliates engage in oil and gas activities independently of the Program which result in conflicts of interest that cannot be totally eliminated. The allocation of acquisition and drilling opportunities and the nature of the compensation arrangements between the Program and Dyco also create potential conflicts of interest. Dyco and its affiliates own a significant amount of the Program's Units and therefore have an identity of interest with other limited partners with respect to the operations of the Program. In order to attempt to assure limited liability for limited partners as well as an orderly conduct of business, management of the Program is exercised solely by Dyco. The partnership agreement of the Program grants Dyco broad discretionary authority with respect to the Program's participation in drilling prospects and expenditure and control of funds, including borrowings. These provisions are similar to those contained in prospectuses and partnership agreements for other public oil and gas partnerships. Broad discretion as to general management of the Program involves circumstances where Dyco has conflicts of interest and where it must allocate costs and expenses, or opportunities, among the Program and other competing interests. Dyco does not devote all of its time, efforts, and personnel exclusively to the Program. Furthermore, the Program does not have any employees, but instead relies on the personnel of the Samson Companies. The Program thus competes with the Samson Companies (including other currently sponsored oil and gas programs) for the time and resources of such personnel. The Samson Companies devote such time and personnel to the management of the Program as are indicated by the circumstances and as are consistent with Dyco's fiduciary duties. Affiliates of the Program are solely responsible for the negotia- tion, administration, and enforcement of oil and gas sales agreements covering the Program's leasehold interests. Until December 6, 1995, Dyco had delegated the negotiation, administration, and enforcement of its oil and gas sales agreements to Premier. In addition to providing such administrative services, Premier purchased and resold gas directly to end-users and local distribution companies. Because affiliates of the Program who provide services to the Program have fiduciary or other duties to other members of the Samson Companies, contract amendments and negotiating positions taken by them in their effort to enforce contracts with purchasers may not necessarily repre- sent the positions that the Program would take if it were to administer its own contracts without involvement with other members of the Samson Companies. On the other hand, management believes that the Program's negotiating strength and contractual positions have been enhanced by virtue of its affiliation with the Samson Companies. 34 For a description of certain other relationships and related transactions see "Item 11. Executive Compensation." PART IV ITEM 14. EXHIBITS, FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES, AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a) Financial Statements and Schedules.
