                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (UNAUDITED)

================================================================================

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The accompanying condensed interim financial statements for Enstar Income
Program 1984-1, L.P. (the "Partnership") as of September 30, 2001, and for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, are unaudited. These
condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion
of management, the condensed interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of such periods. The results of operations for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, are not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire year.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES

    The Partnership has a management and service agreement (the "Management
Agreement") with Enstar Cable Corporation (the "Manager"). The Management
Agreement provides for a monthly management fee of 5% of gross revenues,
excluding revenues from the sale of cable television systems or franchises,
payable to the Manager. The Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of Enstar
Communications Corporation (ECC), the corporate general partner. Management fee
expense approximated $45,900 and $58,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $140,900 and $184,900 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Management fees are
non-interest bearing.

    The Management Agreement provides that the Partnership reimburse the Manager
for direct expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership, and for the
Partnership's allocable share of operational costs associated with services
provided by the Manager. Additionally, Charter Communications Holding Company,
LLC and its affiliates (collectively, "Charter") provide other management and
operational services for the Partnership. These expenses are charged to the
properties served based primarily on the Partnership's allocable share of
operational costs associated with services provided. The total amount charged to
the Partnership for these services approximated $48,500 and $92,100 for the
three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $168,700 and
$274,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
These fees are non-interest bearing.

    Substantially all programming services are purchased through Charter.
Charter charges the Partnership for these costs based on its actual costs. The
Partnership recorded programming fees of $218,300 and $239,400 for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $645,400 and
$731,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Programming fees are included in service costs in the accompanying condensed
statements of operations.

3. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER UNIT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST

    Net income (loss) per unit of limited partnership interest is based on the
average number of units outstanding during the periods presented. For this
purpose, net income (loss) has been allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1%
to the General Partner. The General Partner does not own units of partnership
interest in the Partnership, but rather holds a participation interest in the
income, losses and distributions of the Partnership.

4. SALE OF CABLE SYSTEM

    During 2000, the Partnership sold cable systems serving Kershaw, South
Carolina for an aggregate sale price of $5.2 million. Summarized unaudited pro
forma operating results of the Partnership as though such disposition had
occurred on January 1, 2000, with adjustments to give effect to amortization of
franchise, interest expense, and certain other adjustments, follows.

operations had these transactions been completed as of the assumed date or which
may be obtained in the future.

5. PROPOSED SALES TRANSACTIONS

    The Partnership, together with certain affiliates (collectively, the
"Selling Partnerships"), entered into a purchase and sale agreement, dated as of
June 21, 2000, as amended as of September 29, 2000 (the "Agreement"), with
Multimedia Acquisition Corp., an affiliate of Gans Multimedia Partnership
("Gans"). The Agreement provided for Gans to acquire the assets comprising the
Partnership's Snow Hill, North Carolina and Brownsville, Tennessee cable
systems, as well as certain assets of the other Selling Partnerships.

    Following a series of discussions and meetings, the Partnership and Gans
determined that they were not able to agree on certain further amendments to the
Agreement required to satisfy conditions precedent to close the transactions. In
light of these conditions and existing economic and financial market conditions,
and their impact on Gans' inability to arrange financing in order to close the
acquisitions, on April 18, 2001, the parties agreed to terminate the Agreement.

    The Partnership's corporate general partner will continue to operate the
Partnership's cable television systems and will continue to investigate
potential divestiture transactions for the benefit of its unitholders.

6. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations", No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and No.
143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 141 requires all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 is required to be implemented
for all acquisitions initiated after June 30, 2001 and all business combinations
accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is
July 1, 2001 or later. Adoption of SFAS No. 141 will not impact the consolidated
financial statements of the Partnership.

    Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets
are no longer subject to amortization over their useful lives, rather, they are
subject to at least annual assessments for impairment. Also, under SFAS No. 142,
an intangible asset should be recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset
is obtained through contractual or other legal rights or if the intangible asset
can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Such intangibles will
be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 will be implemented by the
Partnership on January 1, 2002 and all goodwill and intangible assets acquired
after June 30, 2001 will be

                                   (UNAUDITED)

================================================================================

immediately subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Upon adoption, the
Partnership will no longer amortize indefinite lived intangible assets, which
consist primarily of cable franchise operating rights. The Partnership will test
these assets for impairment at least annually. Other than during any periods in
which the Partnership may record a charge for impairment, the Partnership
expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 142 will result in increased income as a
result of reduced amortization expense. Based on the Partnership's preliminary
evaluation, the estimated amortization costs incurred during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001, which will not be recurring costs subsequent to
adoption, were $2,200 and $6,200, respectively.

    Under SFAS No. 143, the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation is required to be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if
a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement
costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.
SFAS No. 143 will be implemented by the Partnership on January 1, 2002. Adoption
of SFAS No. 143 will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements of the Partnership.

    In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No.
144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of
long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of and supersedes
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 144 establishes a single
accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and resolves
implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 144 will be implemented
by the Partnership on January 1, 2002. The Partnership is currently in process
of assessing the future impact of adoption of SFAS No. 144.

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

INTRODUCTION

    This report includes certain forward-looking statements regarding, among
other things, our future results of operations, regulatory requirements,
competition, capital needs and general business conditions applicable to the
Partnership. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties
including, without limitation, the uncertainty of legislative and regulatory
changes and the rapid developments in the competitive environment facing cable
television operators such as the Partnership. In addition to the information
provided herein, reference is made to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2000 for additional information regarding such matters
and the effect thereof on the Partnership's business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Revenues decreased from $1,159,400 to $917,500, or 20.9%, and from
$3,698,500 to $2,817,000, or 23.8%, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in
2000. The decreases were primarily due to a decline in the number of customers
as a result of the sale of our Kershaw cable system. The remaining decrease was
due to a decline in basic and premium service customers. As of September 30,
2001 and 2000, the Partnership had approximately 7,800 and 8,100 basic service
customers, respectively, and 4,400 and 6,100 premium service customers,
respectively.

    Service costs decreased from $476,500 to $355,400, or 25.4%, and from
$1,267,600 to $1,152,700, or 9.1%, for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2000.
Service costs represent programming costs and other costs directly attributable
to providing cable services to customers. The decreases were primarily due to
the sale of the Kershaw cable system on August 31, 2000 and the decline in basic
and premium service customers described above.

    Gross margin decreased from $682,900 to $562,100, or 17.7%, and from
$2,430,900 to $1,664,300, or 31.5%, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in
2000. As a percentage of revenues, gross margin increased from 58.9% to 61.3%,
and decreased from 65.7% to 59.1%, for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2000. The
fluctuations in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of revenue were
due to the decreased in revenues and service costs described above, during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the corresponding
periods in 2000.

    General and administrative expenses increased from $264,600 to $268,700, or
1.5%, and from $627,300 to $757,300, or 20.7%, for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods
in 2000. The increases were due primarily to a new excise tax enforced by the
state of Tennessee.

    General partner management fees and reimbursed expenses represent
administrative costs reimbursed to Charter by the Partnership based on Charter's
actual cost incurred. These costs decreased from $150,100 to $94,400, or 37.1%,
and from $459,600 to $309,600, or 32.6%, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in
2000. The decreases were due primarily to reduced administrative costs as a
result of the sale of the Kershaw cable system.

    Depreciation and amortization expense decreased from $223,800 to $206,300,
or 7.8%, and from $649,600 to $600,500, or 7.6%, for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods
in 2000. The decreases were due primarily to the sale of our Kershaw cable
system offset partially by capital expenditures during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 relating to cable systems upgrades.

    Due to the factors described above, operating income decreased from $44,400
to an operating loss of $7,300, or 116.4%, and from $694,400 to an operating
loss of $3,100, or 100.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2001, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2000.

    Interest income decreased from $35,700 to $17,000, or 52.4%, and from
$87,400 to $59,200, or 32.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2001, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2000, primarily
due to lower average cash balances available for investment during the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the corresponding period in
2000.

    Interest expense decreased from $18,500 to $5,300, or 71.4%, and from
$53,900 to $17,900, or 66.8%, for the three and nine



                                       9

months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the corresponding
periods in 2000, due to lower average outstanding borrowings under our loan
facility during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and the
expiration of the loan facility on August 31, 2001.

    Gain on sale of cable system of $4,234,700 and $4,210,300 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, related to the sale of our Kershaw system,
completed on August 31, 2000.

    Casualty gain of $0 and $79,800 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000, related to an insurance reimbursement received in the first
quarter of 2000 for damages caused by Hurricane Floyd in September 1999. The
reimbursement was used for plant repairs and refunds to customers for cable
outages.

    Other income of $2,900 and other expense of $343,000 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, represents costs and other income
associated with the termination of the Agreements with Gans.

    Due to the factors described above, our net income decreased from $4,296,300
to $7,300, or 99.8%, and from $5,018,000 to a net loss of $304,800, or 106.1%,
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, as
compared to the corresponding periods in 2000.

    Based on our experience in the cable television industry, we believe that
income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA,
and related measures of cash flow serve as important financial analysis tools
for measuring and comparing cable television companies in several areas, such as
liquidity, operating performance and leverage. EBITDA is not a measurement
determined under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and does not
represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA should not be considered by the reader as an alternative to net income as
an indicator of financial performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a
measure of liquidity. In addition, the definition of EBITDA may not be identical
to similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA decreased from
$5,634,100 to $254,400, or 95.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
as compared to the corresponding period in 2000. As a percentage of revenues,
EBITDA decreased from 152.3% to 9.0%, during the nine months ended September 30,
2001, as compared to the corresponding period in 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Our primary objective is to distribute to our partners all available cash
flow from operations and proceeds from the sale of cable systems, if any, after
providing for expenses, debt service and capital requirements. In general, these
capital requirements involve expansion, improvement and upgrade of our existing
cable systems.

    Our operating activities provided $742,200 and $1,619,800 in cash during the
nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Changes in accounts
receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets provided $49,900 and used $331,800
in cash in the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively, due primarily
to fluctuations in receivable collections. Changes in liabilities owed to
affiliates and third party creditors provided $396,600 and $471,900 in cash
during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Investing activities used $514,300 during the first nine months of 2001
primarily due to capital expenditures and provided $4,745,700 in cash during the
first nine months of 2000 primarily due to proceeds from the sale of cable
systems. Financing activities used $3,500 and $249,900 in cash during the first
nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively, primarily due to distributions to
partners.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

    Each of our cable systems needs to be upgraded, as substantially all of the
available channel capacity in our cable television systems is being utilized. We
presently estimate that the entire upgrade program will cover twelve franchise
areas and require aggregate capital expenditures of approximately $8,300,000. Of
the twelve franchise areas to be upgraded, existing franchise agreements
currently require upgrading with respect to eight franchise areas and were
requested to be completed by June 2000, December 2001 and February 2002. These
required upgrades are estimated to cost approximately $4,600,000. The
Partnership did not complete the first required upgrade by June 30, 2000, due to
the sale of the system located in Kershaw, South Carolina.

    The Partnership relies upon the availability of cash generated from
operations and possible borrowings to fund its ongoing liquidity requirements
and capital requirements. Our capital expenditures were $508,300 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001.



                                       10

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

    The Partnership was party to a loan agreement with Enstar Finance Company,
LLC, a subsidiary of Enstar Communications Corporation that matured on August
31, 2001. The loan facility was not extended or replaced. Cash generated by
operations of the Partnership, together with available cash balances will be
used to fund capital expenditures as required by franchise authorities. However,
our cash reserves will be insufficient to fund our entire upgrade program. If
our systems are not sold, we will need to rely on increased cash flow from
operations or new sources of financing in order to meet our future liquidity
requirements and complete our planned upgrade program. There can be no assurance
that such cash flow increases can be attained, or that additional future
financing will be available on terms acceptable to us. If we are not able to
attain such cash flow increases, or obtain new sources of borrowings, we will
not be able to fully complete our cable systems upgrades. As a result, the value
of our systems would be lower than that of systems rebuilt to a higher technical
standard.

    We believe it is critical for the Partnership to conserve cash to fund its
anticipated capital expenditures. Accordingly, the Partnership does not
anticipate an increase in distributions to partners at this time.

SALE OF CABLE SYSTEM

    During 2000, the Partnership sold cable systems serving Kershaw, South
Carolina for an aggregate sale price of $5.2 million. Summarized unaudited pro
forma operating results of the Partnership as though such disposition had
occurred on January 1, 2000, with adjustments to give effect to amortization of
franchise, interest expense, and certain other adjustments, follows.

PROPOSED SALES TRANSACTIONS

    The Partnership, together with certain affiliates (collectively, the
"Selling Partnerships"), entered into a purchase and sale agreement, dated as of
June 21, 2000, as amended as of September 29, 2000 (the "Agreement"), with
Multimedia Acquisition Corp., an affiliate of Gans Multimedia Partnership
("Gans"). The Agreement provided for Gans to acquire the assets comprising the
Partnership's Snow Hill, North Carolina and Brownsville, Tennessee cable
systems, as well as certain assets of the other Selling Partnerships.

    Following a series of discussions and meetings, the Partnership and Gans
determined that they were not able to agree on certain further amendments to the
Agreement required to satisfy conditions precedent to close the transaction. In
light of these conditions and existing economic and financial market conditions,
and their impact on Gans' inability to arrange financing in order to close the
acquisition, on April 18, 2001, the parties agreed to terminate the Agreement.

    The Partnership's corporate general partner will continue to operate the
Partnership's cable television systems and will continue to investigate
potential divestiture transactions for the benefit of its unitholders.

    Insurance coverage is maintained for all of the cable television properties
owned or managed by Charter to cover damage to cable distribution plant and
customer connections and against business interruptions resulting from such
damage. This coverage is subject to a significant annual deductible which
applies to all of the cable television properties owned or managed by Charter,
including those of the Partnership.

    Approximately 83% of our customers are served by our system in Brownsville,
Tennessee and neighboring communities. Significant damage to the system due to
seasonal weather conditions or other events could have a material adverse effect
on our


                                       11
<PAGE>
liquidity and cash flows. We continue to purchase insurance coverage in amounts
our management views as appropriate for all other property, liability,
automobile, workers' compensation and other types of insurable risks.

CERTAIN TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES

    The city of Covington, Tennessee rejected our franchise renewal proposal in
June 1999. The franchise agreement with the city expired in 1994 and we have
continued to operate our cable system in Covington and pay franchise fees to the
city. In March 2000, Charter submitted another proposal to the city on behalf of
the Partnership. The city suspended the hearing to consider Charter's renewal
proposal, and in May 2000 issued a resolution denying its consent to transfer
controlling interest in Enstar from an affiliate of Charter. In November 2000,
the city sold $5,300,000 in municipal bonds to finance construction of a
municipally owned cable system. Should the determination not to renew the
franchise be upheld, or if the Partnership did not have the authority to
transfer the affiliate's interest to Charter, then the Partnership would have no
right to continue operations within the city unless the city issued a new
franchise. The loss of the Partnership's franchise and the related loss of
customers would have significant adverse impact on the Partnership's financial
condition and results of operations.

    In January 2000, the franchise authority in Bolivar, Tennessee authorized
its municipal utility to construct and operate a competing cable system in that
franchise area. As we have in Covington, the Partnership has continued to
operate our cable system in Bolivar and pay franchise fees to the franchise
authority. Although the municipal utility has not obtained funds to build a
cable system, we believe that if a competing system were built, the loss of
customers would have an adverse impact on the Partnership's financial condition
and results of operations. As of September 30, 2001, there were approximately
1,700 and 1,200 basic customers in the cities of Covington and Bolivar,
respectively.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations", No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and No.
143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 141 requires all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 is required to be implemented
for all acquisitions initiated after June 30, 2001 and all business combinations
accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is
July 1, 2001 or later. Adoption of SFAS No. 141 will not impact the consolidated
financial statements of the Partnership.

    Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets
are no longer subject to amortization over their useful lives, rather, they are
subject to at least annual assessments for impairment. Also, under SFAS No. 142,
an intangible asset should be recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset
is obtained through contractual or other legal rights or if the intangible asset
can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Such intangibles will
be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 will be implemented by the
Partnership on January 1, 2002 and all goodwill and intangible assets acquired
after June 30, 2001 will be immediately subject to the provisions of SFAS No.
142. Upon adoption, the Partnership will no longer amortize indefinite lived
intangible assets, which consist primarily of cable franchise operating rights.
The Partnership will test these assets for impairment at least annually. Other
than during any periods in which the Partnership may record a charge for
impairment, the Partnership expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 142 will
result in increased income as a result of reduced amortization expense. Based on
the Partnership's preliminary evaluation, the estimated amortization costs
incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, which will
not be recurring costs subsequent to adoption, were $2,200 and $6,200,
respectively.

    Under SFAS No. 143, the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation is required to be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if
a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement
costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.
SFAS No. 143 will be implemented by the Partnership on January 1, 2002. Adoption
of SFAS No. 143 will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements of the Partnership.

    In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No.
144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of
long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of and supersedes
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 144 establishes a single
accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and resolves
implementation issues related to SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 144 will be implemented
by the Partnership on January 1, 2002. The Partnership is currently in process
of assessing the future impact of adoption of SFAS No. 144.

OTHER EVENTS

    Effective October 30, 2001, Carl E. Vogel was appointed to replace Steven A.
Schumm as the sole director of Enstar Communications Corporation, the
Partnership's corporate general partner.

ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN; TERRORISM; AND ARMED CONFLICT

    Although we do not believe that the recent terrorist attacks and the
subsequent armed conflict and related events have resulted in any material
changes to the Partnership's business and operations for the period ended
September 30, 2001, it is difficult to assess the impact that these events,
combined with the general economic slowdown, will have on future operations.
These events, combined with the general economic slowdown, could result in
reduced spending by customers and advertisers, which could reduce our revenues
and operating cash flow. Additionally, an economic slowdown could affect our
ability to collect accounts receivable. If we experience reduced operating
revenues, it could negatively affect our ability to make expected capital
expenditures and our ability to obtain financing at reasonable rates, if at all.
Terrorist attacks could interrupt or disrupt our ability to deliver our services
(or the services provided to us by programmers) and could cause unforeseen
damage to the Partnership's physical facilities. Terrorism and the related
events may have other adverse effects on the Partnership, in ways that cannot be
presently predicted.

INFLATION

    Certain of our expenses, such as those for wages and benefits, equipment
repair and replacement, and billing and marketing generally increase with
inflation. However, we do not believe that our financial results have been, or
will be, adversely affected by inflation in a material way, provided that we are
able to increase our service rates periodically, of which there can be no
assurance.
