                          NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)



NOTE 1    -   GENERAL

The financial  statements  presented are those of May Limited Partnership 1983-2
(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, 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership generated $179,000 of cash flow from operating activities during
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and  distributed  $184,000 to partners.  A
distribution  payable to partners of record as of March 31, 1998 was declared in
April 1998. The distribution  amount is $158,000 payable $91,640 to May Drilling
Partnership  1983-2  partners  and  $66,360  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 1998 Compared to First Quarter 1997

Oil Revenue

Oil  revenue  decreased  $6,000 in the first  quarter of 1998 as compared to the
first quarter of 1997 as a result of a decrease in price partially  offset by an
increase in oil  production.  The average  oil price  decreased  from $22.64 per
barrel in 1997 to $16.11 per barrel in 1998. Oil production  increased 5% due to
workover procedures performed during the second quarter of 1997.

Gas Revenue

Gas revenue  decreased  $21,000  during the first quarter of 1998 as compared to
the first  quarter of 1997 as the result of a  decrease  in gas price  partially
offset by an increase in production.  The average gas price decreased from $3.15
per mcf in 1997 to $2.35 per mcf in 1998.  Gas  production  increased 20% due to
workover procedures performed during the second quarter of 1997.

Interest Income

Interest income increased $1,000 during the first quarter of 1998 as compared to
the first quarter of 1997 due to a higher average cash balance during 1998.

Lease Operating

Lease  operating  expense  increased  $4,000  for the first  quarter  of 1998 as
compared to the first quarter of 1997 primarily due to an increase in production
taxes caused by the increase in production discussed above.


<PAGE>


General and Administrative

General and administrative  expense decreased $1,000 during the first quarter of
1998  as  compared  to the  first  quarter  of  1997  due to a  decrease  in the
allocation of overhead from the general partner.

Depletion

Depletion  expense increased $5,000 during the first quarter of 1998 as compared
with the first quarter of 1997 as a result of a higher depletion rate due to the
increase in production discussed above.
