                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          NOTE 1 - GENERAL

          The  financial  statements presented  are  those  of May  Limited
          Partnership 1983-1  (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, 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  


          NOTE 2 - LEGAL

          In June  1993 and June  1995, a total  of 15 lawsuits  were filed
          against  the Partnership  in  the 15th  Judicial District  Court,
          Lafayette   Parish, Louisiana, Docket Nos.  93-2332-F through 93-
          2345-F and 952601-3B, each styled Lamson Petroleum Corporation v.
          Hallwood Petroleum, Inc.  et al.   The plaintiffs in  the lawsuit
          claim  that they have an  additional valid lease covering streets
          and roads in  the units  of the A.  L. Boudreaux #1  well, G.  S.
          Boudreaux #1 well, Paul Castille #1 well, Mary Guilbeau  #1 well,
          Evangeline Shrine Club #1 well and Duhon #1 well, which represent
          approximately 3% to 4%  of the limited partnership's interest  in
          these properties and are entitled to a portion of  the production
          from the wells since February 1990.  The limited  partnership has
          not recognized revenue attributable to the contested leases since
          January 1993.  These revenues, totalling approximately $23,000 at
          March 31, 1996, have been placed in escrow pending  resolution of
          the lawsuits.   At this time,  the Partnership believes  that the
          difference between the  amount already in  escrow as a  result of
          the litigation and  the amount of  any liability that  may result
          upon resolution of this matter will not be material.

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

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          The  Partnership generated  $40,000 of  cash flow  from operating
          activities  and made  no  distributions during  the three  months
          ended  March 31,  1996.   A distribution  payable to  partners of
          record  as of  March 31, 1996  was declared  in April  1996.  The
          distribution amount is $101,000,  payable $58,000 to May Drilling
          Partnership 1983-1  partners and $43,000 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

          FIRST QUARTER 1996 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1995

          OIL REVENUE

          Oil  revenue increased $2,000 during the first quarter of 1996 as
          compared with the  same period  during 1995 primarily  due to  an
          increase  in the average oil price from $17.63 per barrel in 1995
          to $19.03  per barrel  in 1996,   combined  with  an increase  in
          production.    Oil  production  increased 14%  primarily  due  to
          increased state allowable production limits.

          GAS REVENUE

          Gas revenue increased $45,000 during the first quarter of 1996 as
          compared  to the corresponding  period in  1995 primarily  as the
          result of an increase in the average gas price from $1.66 per mcf
          in 1995 to $3.28 mcf in 1996.  Gas production remained consistent
          at 28,000 mcf in 1995 and in 1996.

          DEPLETION

          Depletion expense  decreased $2,000  during the first  quarter of
          1996 as compared to the corresponding period in 1995 as a  result
          of lower capitalized costs in 1996 as compared with 1995.
