PART I
------
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
May Drilling Partnership 1984-2 (the "Drilling or General Partnership") and May
Limited Partnership 1984-2 (the "Limited Partnership") were organized by May
Petroleum Inc. ("May") to explore for and develop oil and gas reserves
primarily in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Funds received from the sale and
production of oil and gas reserves are used to pay the obligations of the
Limited Partnership. Funds not required by the Limited Partnership as working
capital are distributed to the participants in the Drilling Partnership and the
general partner.
The general partner of the Limited Partnership is EDP Operating, Ltd., which is
one of the operating partnerships for Hallwood Energy Partners, L. P. ("HEP").
The Drilling Partnership is the sole limited partner of the Limited Partnership.
The Limited Partnership does not have any subsidiaries, nor does it engage in
any other kind of business. The Limited Partnership has no employees and is
operated by Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. ("HPI"), a subsidiary of HEP. In February
1996, HPI employed 133 full-time employees.
Pursuant to the terms of the general partnership agreement and the limited
partnership agreement, HEP is obligated, from time to time, to contribute
certain amounts, in property, cash or unreimbursed services, to the Limited
Partnership. As of December 31, 1995, all such required contributions had been
accrued.
PARTICIPATION IN EXPENSES AND REVENUES
The principal expenses and revenues of the Limited Partnership are shared by the
general partner and the Drilling Partnership as set forth in the following
table. The charges and credits to participants in the Drilling Partnership are
shared among the participants in proportion to their ownership of units of
participation.
<TABLE>

<F2>
(2) Such items were shared 70% by the Drilling Partnership and
30% by the general partner until December 31, 1984. As of
December 31, 1984, and as of December 31 of each year
thereafter, the sharing of such items is adjusted so the
general partner's allocation equals the percentage that the
amount of Limited Partnership expenses allocated to the
general partner bears to the aggregate amount of Limited
Partnership expenses allocated to the general partner and
the Drilling Partnership, plus 15 percentage points, but in
no event will the general partner's allocation exceed 50%.
The sharing ratio for each of the last three years was:
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1995 1994 1993
------ ------ ------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Limited Partner 68.6% 68.8% 68.9%
General Partner 31.4% 31.2% 31.1%
</TABLE>
In 1996, the sharing ratio will be 68.4% to the limited partner and 31.6% to the
general partner.
To the extent that the characterization of any expense of the Limited
Partnership depends on its deductibility for federal income tax purposes, the
proper characterization is determined by the general partner (according to its
intended characterization on the Limited Partnership's federal income tax
return) in good faith at the time the expense is to be charged or credited.
Such characterization will control related charges and credits to the partners
regardless of any subsequent determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a
court of law that the reported expenses should be otherwise characterized for
tax purposes.
COMPETITION
Oil and gas must compete with coal, atomic energy, hydro-electric power and
other forms of energy. See also "Marketing" for a discussion of the market
structure for oil and gas sales.
REGULATION
Production and sale of oil and gas is subject to federal and state governmental
regulations in a variety of ways including environmental regulations, labor law,
interstate sales, excise taxes and federal and Indian lands royalty payments.
Failure to comply with these regulations may result in fines, cancellation of
licenses to do business and cancellation of federal, state or Indian leases.
The production of oil and gas is subject to regulation by the state regulatory
agencies in the states in which the Limited Partnership does business. These
agencies make and enforce regulations to prevent waste of oil and gas and to
protect the rights of owners to produce oil and gas from a common reservoir.
The regulatory agencies regulate the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning
allowable production rates to wells capable of producing oil and gas.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The Limited Partnership and the General Partnership are partnerships for federal
income tax purposes. Consequently, they are not taxable entities; rather, all
income, gains, losses, deductions and credits are passed through and taken into
account by the partners on their individual federal income tax returns. In
general, distributions are not subject to tax so long as such distributions do
not exceed the partner's adjusted tax basis. Any distributions in excess of the
partner's adjusted tax basis are taxed generally as capital gains.
MARKETING
The oil and gas produced from the properties owned by the Limited Partnership
has typically been marketed through normal channels for such products. Oil has
generally been sold to purchasers at field prices posted by the principal
purchasers of crude oil in the areas where the producing properties are located.
The majority of the Limited Partnership's gas production is sold on the spot
market and is transported in intrastate and interstate pipelines. Both oil and
natural gas are purchased by refineries, major oil companies, public utilities
and other users and processors of petroleum products.
Factors which, if they were to occur, might adversely affect the Limited
Partnership include decreases in oil and gas prices, the availability of a
market for production, rising operational costs of producing oil and gas,
compliance with and changes in environmental control statutes, and increasing
costs and difficulties of transportation.
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 purchases by each of the
following companies exceeded 10% of the total oil and gas revenues of the
Limited Partnership.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1995 1994 1993
------ ------ ------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Koch Oil Company 20% 38%
Louisiana Gas System 52%
Conoco Inc. 72% 60%
</TABLE>
Although the Limited Partnership sells the majority of its production to one
purchaser, there are numerous other purchasers in the area, so the loss of its
significant customer would not adversely affect the Limited Partnership's
operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The exploration for, and development of, oil and gas involve the extraction,
production and transportation of materials which, under certain conditions, can
be hazardous or can cause environmental pollution problems. In light of the
present general interest in environmental problems, the general partner cannot
predict what effect possible future public or private action may have on the
business of the Limited Partnership. The general partner is continually taking
actions it believes necessary in its operations to ensure conformity with
applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations and does not
presently anticipate that the compliance with federal, state and local
environmental regulations will have a material adverse effect upon capital
expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the Limited Partnership in
the oil and gas industry.
INSURANCE COVERAGE
The Limited Partnership is subject to all the risks inherent in the exploration
for, and development of, oil and gas, including blowouts, fires and other
casualties. The Limited Partnership maintains insurance coverage as is
customary for entities of a similar size engaged in operations similar to the
Limited Partnership's, but losses can occur from uninsurable risks or in amounts
in excess of existing insurance coverage. The occurrence of an event which is
not insured or not fully insured could have an adverse impact upon the Limited
Partnership's earnings and financial position.
ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES
The Limited Partnership's oil and gas reserves are concentrated in one prospect
in south Louisiana. Natural gas accounts for 57% of estimated future gross
revenues in the Limited Partnership's reserve report as of December 31, 1995.
SIGNIFICANT PROSPECT
At December 31, 1995, the following prospect accounted for all of the Limited
Partnership's proved oil and gas reserves. Reserve quantities were obtained
from the December 31, 1995 reserve report prepared by HPI's petroleum engineers.
MONTET PROSPECT. The Montet prospect is located in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana.
The Limited Partnership's interest in the prospect contains one productive well
and has estimated remaining net proved reserves of 34,000 bbls of oil and
335,000 mcf of gas as of December 31, 1995. The Limited Partnership's working
interest in this well is 13.1%. The prospect produces from one zone, the Bol
Mex 3 formation at approximately 15,275 feet.
ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
For a description of legal proceedings affecting The Limited Partnership, please
refer to Item 8-Note 3.
ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF STOCKHOLDERS
No matter was submitted to a vote of participants during the fourth quarter of

Increase (decrease) in cash $ (26) $ 36
====== ======
</TABLE>
Cash provided by operating activities in 1995 was used primarily for
distributions to the partners. Future distributions depend on, among other
things, continuation of current or higher oil and gas prices and markets for
production.
The Limited Partnership has net working capital of $580,000 at December 31,
1995. This working capital, together with cash flows generated from operations,
may be used to fund future distributions.
Proved reserves and discounted future net revenues (discounted at 10% and before
general and administrative expenses) attributable to proved reserves were
estimated at 34,000 bbls and 335,000 mcf valued at $1,243,000 in 1995 and 31,000
bbls and 280,000 mcf valued at $946,000 in 1994. The Partnership's oil and gas
reserves were revised upward during 1995 based upon the continued performance of
the Freddie Aker.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
1995 COMPARED TO 1994
- ---------------------
OIL REVENUE
Oil revenue decreased $32,000 during 1995 as compared with 1994. The decrease
is comprised of a 14% decrease in production, partially offset by an increase in
the average price from $16.18 per barrel in 1994 to $17.67 per barrel in 1995.
The decrease in production from 35,520 barrels in 1994 to 30,712 barrels in 1995
is primarily due to decreased state allowable production limits combined with
normal production declines.
GAS REVENUE
Gas revenue decreased $249,000 during 1995 as compared with 1994. The decrease
is due to a decrease in the average gas price from $2.27 per mcf during 1994 to
$1.98 per mcf during 1995 combined with a 19% decrease in production. The
decrease in production from 380,349 mcf in 1994 to 309,054 mcf in 1995 is due to
decreased state allowable production limits as well as normal production
declines.
LEASE OPERATING
Lease operating expense increased $3,000 during 1995 as compared with 1994
primarily due to increased maintenance activity during 1995.
PRODUCTION TAXES
Production taxes decreased $6,000 during 1995 as compared with 1994 as a result
of decreased oil and gas revenue during 1995.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses increased $2,000 during 1995 as compared
with 1994 primarily due to an increase in the allocation of overhead from the
general partner.
DEPLETION
Depletion expense increased $2,000 during 1995 as compared with 1994 due to an
increase in capitalized costs during 1995.
LITIGATION SETTLEMENT
Litigation settlement expense during 1995 represents the costs of a lawsuit
settlement which is further discussed in Item 8 - Note 3 of this Form 10-K.
1994 COMPARED TO 1993
- ---------------------
OIL REVENUE
Oil revenue increased $84,000 in 1994 as compared to 1993. Production increased
22% from 29,000 bbls in 1993 to 35,520 bbls in 1994. This increase is offset by
a decrease in the average oil price from $17.44 per barrel in 1993 to $16.18 per
barrel in 1994.
GAS REVENUE
Gas revenue increased $252,000 as compared to 1993. Gas production increased
27% from 300,452 mcf in 1993 to 380,349 mcf in 1994. This increase is offset by
a decrease in the average gas price from $2.45 per mcf in 1993 to $2.27 per mcf
in 1994.
LEASE OPERATING
Lease operating expense decreased $3,000 as compared to 1993, due to decreased
maintenance activity.
PRODUCTION TAXES
Production taxes increased $25,000 in 1994, due to increased revenues on the
Freddie Aker #1.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expense decreased $9,000 in 1994 as compared to 1993,
due to a decrease in the allocation of overhead from the general partner.
DEPLETION
Depletion expense decreased $31,000 as compared to 1993, because the oil and gas
properties are fully depleted.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
TO THE PARTNERS OF MAY DRILLING PARTNERSHIP 1984-2 AND
MAY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 1984-2:
We have audited the financial statements of May Drilling Partnership 1984-2
("General Partnership") and May Limited Partnership 1984-2 ("Limited
Partnership") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1995, listed in the accompanying index at Item
8. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the General Partnership and the Limited
Partnership at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of operations and
cash flows of the Limited Partnership for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

MAY DRILLING PARTNERSHIP 1984-2
AND
MAY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 1984-2
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS
GENERAL PARTNERSHIP
May Drilling Partnership 1984-2, a Texas general partnership (the "General
Partnership"), was organized by May Petroleum Inc. ("May") for the purpose of
oil and gas exploration through May Limited Partnership 1984-2 (the "Limited
Partnership"). The General Partnership was formed on September 18, 1984, with
investors ("Participants") subscribing an aggregate of $8,633,000 in assessable
$1,000 units. After the expenditure of the initial contributions of the
Participants, additional mandatory assessments from each Participant are
provided for under the terms of the general partnership agreement in an amount
up to 25% of the initial contribution of the Participant. During 1985, May
assessed the Participants 5% of initial contributions. No additional
assessments have been made since 1985.
The general partnership agreement requires that the manager, Hallwood Energy
Partners, L. P. ("HEP"), offer to repurchase partnership interests from
Participants for cash at amounts to be determined by appraisal of the Limited
Partnership's net assets no later than December 31, 1988, and during the two
succeeding years, if such net assets are positive. The manager has made
repurchase offers in each year since 1989 and intends to make a repurchase offer
in 1996.
As the General Partnership is the sole limited partner of the Limited
Partnership, its results of operations, cash flows and changes in partners'
capital are equal to the limited partner's share of the Limited Partnership's
results of operations, cash flows and changes in partners' capital as set forth
herein. Therefore, separate statements of operations, cash flows and changes in
partners' capital are not presented for the General Partnership.
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
The Limited Partnership, a Texas limited partnership, was organized by May and
the General Partnership, for the purpose of oil and gas exploration and the
production of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products. The Limited
Partnership's oil and gas reserves are concentrated in one prospect in south
Louisiana. Among other things, the terms of the Limited Partnership agreement
(the "Agreement") give the general partner the authority to borrow funds. The
Agreement also requires that the general partner's total capital contributions
to the Limited Partnership as of each year end, including unrecovered general
partner acreage and equipment advances, must be compared to total Limited
Partnership expenditures from inception to date, and if such contributions are
less than 15% of such expenditures, an additional contribution in the amount of
the deficiency is required. As of December 31, 1995, all such contributions had
been accrued.
On June 30, 1987, May sold to HEP all of its economic interest in the Limited
Partnership and account receivable balances due from the Limited Partnership.
HEP became the general partner of the Limited Partnership in 1988.
SHARING OF COSTS AND REVENUES
Capital costs, as defined by the Agreement, for commercially productive wells
and the costs related to the organization of the Limited Partnership are borne
by the general partner. Noncapital costs and direct expenses, as defined by the
Agreement, are charged 1% to the general partner and 99% to the limited partner.
Oil and gas sales, operating expenses and general and administrative overhead
are shared so that the general partner's allocation will equal the percentage
that the amount of Limited Partnership expenses, as defined, allocated to the
general partner bears to the aggregate amount of Limited Partnership expenses
allocated to the general partner and the limited partner, plus 15 percentage
points, but in no event will the general partner's allocation exceed 50%. The
sharing ratio for each of the last three years was as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1995 1994 1993
------ ------ ------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Limited Partner 68.6% 68.8% 68.9%
General Partner 31.4% 31.2% 31.1%
</TABLE>
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, purchases by each of the
following companies exceeded 10% of the total oil and gas revenues of the
Limited Partnership:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1995 1994 1993
------ ------ ------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Koch Oil Company 20% 38%
Louisiana Gas System 52%
Conoco Inc. 72% 60%
</TABLE>
Although the Limited Partnership sells the majority of its production to one
purchaser, there are numerous other purchasers in the area, so the loss of its
significant customer would not adversely affect the Limited Partnership's
operations.
INCOME TAXES
No provision for federal income taxes is included in the financial statements of
the Limited Partnership or the General Partnership because, as partnerships,
they are not subject to federal income tax and the tax effects of their
activities accrue to the partners. The partnerships' tax returns, the
qualification of the General and Limited Partnerships as partnerships for
federal income tax purposes, and the amount of taxable income or loss are
subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such
examinations result in changes to the partnerships' taxable income or loss, the
tax liability of the partners could change accordingly.
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
The Limited Partnership follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and
gas properties and, accordingly, capitalizes all costs associated with the
exploration and development of oil and gas reserves.
The capitalized costs of evaluated properties, including the estimated future
costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the units of production
basis. Full cost amortization per dollar of gross oil and gas revenues was $.01
in 1995, $-0- in 1994 and $.03 in 1993.
Capitalized costs are limited to an amount not to exceed the present value of
estimated future net cash flows. No valuation adjustment was required in 1995,
1994 or 1993.
Generally no gains or losses are recognized on the sale or disposition of oil
and gas properties. Maintenance and repairs are charged against income when
incurred.
GAS BALANCING
The Limited Partnership uses the sales method for accounting for gas balancing.
Under this method, the Limited Partnership recognizes revenue on all of its
sales of production, and any over production or under production is recovered at
a future date.
As of December 31, 1995, the net imbalance to the Limited Partnership's interest
is not considered material. Current imbalances can be made up with production
from the existing well.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements for the Limited Partnership and
General Partnership 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 these estimates.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. ("HPI"), a subsidiary of the general partner, pays all
costs and expenses of operations and receives all revenues associated with the
Limited Partnership's properties. At month end, HPI distributes revenues in
excess of costs to the Limited Partnership. The amounts due from HPI were
$75,000 and $86,000 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These
balances represent net revenues less operating costs and expenses.
CASH FLOWS
All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' amounts to conform to
the classifications used in the current year.
(2) GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD
HPI conducts the day to day operations of the Limited Partnership and other
affiliated partnerships of HEP. The costs of operating the entities are
allocated to each partnership based upon the time spent on that partnership.
General and administrative overhead allocated by HPI to the Limited Partnership
totaled $45,000 in 1995, $44,000 in 1994 and $52,000 in 1993.
(3) LEGAL PROCEEDING
In the fourth quarter of 1995, the parties settled the lawsuit styled Stutes v.
Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. et al. The plaintiff in the lawsuit alleged that as a
result of exposure to benzene in the petroleum he was hauling from various wells
owned and operated by the Limited Partnership and the approximately 80 other
named defendants, he contracted myelogenous leukemia. The Limited Partnership's
share of the settlement not covered by insurance was $7,000.
