                          NOTES 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, 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  


NOTE 2 - LEGAL

In June 1996, the Limited Partnership and the other parties to the lawsuits
styled Lamson Petroleum Corporation v. Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. et al. settled
the lawsuits.  The plaintiffs in the lawsuits claimed they had valid leases
covering streets and roads in the units of the A. L. Boudreaux #1 well, G. S.
Boudreaux #1 well, Paul Castille #1 well, Evangeline Shrine Club #1 well and
Duhon #1 well, which represented approximately 3% to 4% of the Limited
Partnership s interest in these properties, and they were entitled to a portion
of the production from the wells dating from February  1990.  In the settlement,
the Limited Partnership and the plaintiffs agreed to cross-convey interests in
certain leases to one another, and the Limited Partnership agreed to pay the
plaintiffs $75,000.  The Limited Partnership has not recognized revenue
attributable to the contested leases since January 1993.  These revenues,
totaling $72,000, had been  placed in escrow pending the resolution of the
lawsuits.  The excess of the cash paid over the escrowed amounts, is reflected
as litigation settlement expense in the accompanying financial statements.  The
cross-conveyance of the interests in the leases will result in a decrease in the
Limited Partnership s reserves of $45,000 in future net revenues, discounted at
10%.
 

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership generated $381,000 of cash flow from operating activities during
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and made distributions of $357,000.  A
distribution was declared in July 1996.  The distribution amount is $149,000,
payable $86,000 to May Drilling Partnership 1983-3 partners and $63,000 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

SECOND QUARTER 1996 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 1995

OIL REVENUES

Oil revenues increased $9,000 in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to the
corresponding period in 1995 as the result of a 23% increase in production
combined with an increase in the average oil price from $18.52 per barrel in
1995 to $20.84 per barrel in 1996.  The increase in production is primarily due
to higher state allowable production limits.



GAS REVENUES

Gas revenues increased $107,000 during the second quarter of 1996 as compared to
the corresponding period in 1995 as the result of an increase in production
combined with an increase in price.  Gas production increased 37% primarily due
to an increase in state allowable production limits.  The average gas price
increased from $1.85 per mcf in 1995 to $2.65 per mcf in 1996.

LEASE OPERATING

Lease operating expense decreased $3,000 during the second quarter of 1996 as
compared to the corresponding period in 1995 due to a decrease in operating
expenses resulting from the implementation of cost savings measures during 1995.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expense increased $1,000 during the second quarter of
1996 as compared with the second quarter of 1995 due to an increase in the
allocation of overhead from the general partner.

DEPLETION 

Depletion expense increased $4,000 during the second quarter of 1996 as compared
to the corresponding period in 1995 as a result of a higher depletion rate
resulting from the increase in production previously discussed.

LITIGATION SETTLEMENT

Litigation settlement expense represents the settlement of the Lamson lawsuit
which is described in Item 1 - Note 2 of this Form 10-Q.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

The comparisons for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the six months ended
June 30, 1995 are consistent with those discussed in the second quarter 1996
compared to the second quarter 1995 except for the following:

OIL  REVENUE

Oil revenue increased $16,000 during the first six months of 1996 as compared to
the corresponding period in 1995.  The increase is comprised of a 20% increase
in production combined with an increase in oil prices from $18.06 per barrel in
1995 to  $20.04 per barrel in 1996.  The increase in production is primarily due
to increased state allowable production limits.

GAS REVENUE

Gas revenue increased $258,000 during the first six months of 1996 as compared
with the same period during 1995.  The increase is comprised of a 28% increase
in gas production combined with an increase in gas prices from $1.75 per mcf in 
1995 to $2.97 per mcf in 1996.  The increase in production is primarily due to
an increase in state allowable production limits.
