                          NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The financial statements presented  are those of May Limited  Partnership 1983-3
(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, 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  


NOTE 2 - LEGAL

In June 1995,  an additional lawsuit  was filed against  the Partnership in  the
15th Judicial District Court,  Lafayette  Parish, Louisiana, Docket  No. 952601-
3B, 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, Mary Guilbeau #1 well and Duhon #1 well and are entitled to a
portion  of the  production  from  the  wells.   The  Partnership  has  not  yet
determined the amount of  its interest in the properties which is  at issue.  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 OPERATION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES<PAGE>
The Partnership generated $213,000 of cash flow
from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 
made distributions of $163,000.  A distribution was declared in October 1995. 
The distribution amount is $125,000, payable $72,000 to May Drilling Partnership
1983-3 partners and $53,000 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 1995 COMPARED TO THE THIRD QUARTER 1994

OIL REVENUES

Oil revenues increased $3,000  in the third quarter  of 1995 as compared  to the
corresponding  period in  1994 as the  result of  an 11%  increase in production
partially offset  by a decrease in the average  oil price from $17.36 per barrel
in  1994 to $17.12  per barrel in  1995.  The  increase in production  is due to
higher state allowable production limits.


GAS REVENUES

Gas revenues increased $14,000 during  the third quarter of 1995 as  compared to
the  corresponding period  in 1994 as  the result  of an  increase in production
partially offset by a decrease in price.  Gas production increased 39% primarily
due to an  increase in state allowable production limits.  The average gas price
decreased from $1.95 per mcf in 1994 to $1.61 per mcf in 1995.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income  decreased $1,000 during the  third quarter of 1995  as compared
with the third quarter of 1994 due to a lower average cash balance.

LEASE OPERATING EXPENSE

Lease operating expense increased  $10,000 during the third  quarter of 1995  as
compared to  the corresponding period in  1994 due to an  increase in production
tax expense resulting from the 15% increase in oil and gas revenue.

DEPLETION EXPENSE

Depletion expense increased $10,000 during the third quarter of 1995 as compared
to the  corresponding period in  1994 as  a result  of a  higher depletion  rate
resulting from the increase in production as previously discussed.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND OTHER

Professional services  and other expense decreased  $5,000 due to the  timing of
payments made for professional services.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1994

The comparisons for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and the nine months
ended  September 30,  1994  are consistent  with  those discussed  in the  third
quarter 1995 compared to the third quarter 1994 except for the following:

OIL REVENUE

Oil revenue increased $2,000 during the first nine months of 1995 as compared to
the  same period  in 1994.   The  increase is  comprised of  an increase  in the
average oil price  from $15.81 per barrel  in 1994 to $17.74 per  barrel in 1995
partially  offset by  an 8% decline  in oil  production primarily  due to normal
production declines.

GAS REVENUE

Gas revenue decreased $133,000 during  the nine months ended September  30, 1995
as compared with the corresponding period in 1994.  The decrease is comprised of
a decrease in the  average price from $2.25 per mcf in 1994  to $1.70 per mcf in
1995  combined with  a 6%  decrease in  gas production  primarily due  to normal
production declines.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and  administrative expenses  decreased $6,000  during  the nine  months
ended September 30, 1995 as compared to  the corresponding period in 1994 due to
a decrease in the allocation of overhead from the general partner.
