                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The financial  statements  presented are those of May Limited Partnership 1984-1
(the "Partnership").  The interim financial data are unaudited;  however, in the
opinion of the general  partner,  the  interim  data  include  all  adjustments,
consisting  only  of  normal  recurring   adjustments,   necessary  for  a  fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods.  These financial statements
should be read in  conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes thereto
included in the Partnership's December 31, 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $648,000 for the nine months ended
September  30, 1997 and $662,000 was  distributed  to partners.  A  distribution
payable to partners of record as of  September  30, 1997 was declared in October
1997.  The  distribution  amount is $165,000,  payable  $103,000 to May Drilling
Partnership  1984-1  partners  and  $62,000  to  the  general  partner.   Future
distributions  are dependent on future prices for the  Partnership's  production
and the production level of the Partnership's remaining oil and gas reserves.

Results of Operations

Third Quarter 1997 Compared to the Third Quarter 1996

Oil Revenue

Oil revenue  decreased  $46,000  during the third quarter of 1997 as compared to
the corresponding period in 1996 as the result of a decrease in production and a
decrease in the average oil price.  Oil production  decreased 27% on the Freddie
Aker #1 due to a decrease in the state  allowable  production  limits as well as
normal  production  declines.  The average oil price  decreased  from $21.86 per
barrel in 1996 to $19.24 per barrel in 1997.

Gas Revenue

Gas revenue  decreased  $48,000  during the third quarter of 1997 as compared to
the  corresponding  period  in 1996 due to a 28%  decrease  in  production.  The
decrease in  production is due to a decrease in the state  allowable  production
limits as well as normal  production  declines.  The average gas price increased
slightly from $2.70 per mcf in 1996 to $2.71 per mcf in 1997.

Lease Operating

Lease  operating  expense  increased  $2,000 during the third quarter of 1997 as
compared with the third quarter of 1996 due to increased maintenance activity on
the Freddie Aker #1 well.

Production Taxes

Production  taxes decreased  $7,000 during the third quarter of 1997 as compared
to the  corresponding  period  in 1996 due to  decreased  production  previously
discussed.

General and Administrative

General and administrative  expense increased $1,000 during the third quarter of
1997 as  compared  with the third  quarter of 1996 as a result of an increase in
the allocation of overhead from the general partner.

Depletion

Depletion  expense increased $5,000 during the third quarter of 1997 as compared
with the third quarter of 1996 due to increased capital costs during 1997.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September
30, 1996

The comparisons for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and the nine months
ended  September  30,  1996 are  consistent  with those  discussed  in the third
quarter 1997 compared to the third quarter of 1996 except for the following:

Oil Revenue

Oil revenue decreased  $118,000 during the first nine months of 1997 as compared
to the  corresponding  period in 1996 primarily due to a decrease in production,
partially  offset by a slight increase in the average oil price. The average oil
price increased from $20.53 per barrel in 1996 to $20.56 per barrel in 1997. Oil
production  decreased  32% due to lower state  allowable  production  limits and
normal production declines.

Gas Revenue

Gas revenue decreased  $243,000 during the first nine months of 1997 as compared
to the  corresponding  period in 1996  primarily  as the result of a decrease in
production and a decrease in price.  Gas production  decreased 35% primarily due
to  lower  state  allowable  production  limits  as  well as  normal  production
declines.  The average gas price  decreased  from $3.09 per mcf in 1996 to $2.92
per mcf in 1997.

Other

Other income is comprised of insurance  proceeds  which  reimbursed a portion of
expense incurred in a prior period to settle certain litigation.

Professional Services and Other

Professional  services and other expense  increased $2,000 during the first nine
months of 1997 as compared  with the first nine months of 1996  primarily due to
an increase in numerous miscellaneous  expenses,  none of which are individually
significant.
