                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


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 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 $25,000.  The Limited Partnership has not recognized revenue
attributable to the contested leases since January 1993.  These revenues,
totaling $24,000, 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 $15,000 in future net revenues, discounted at
10%.
 

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership generated $102,000 of cash flow from operating activities and
made distributions of $101,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996. 
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 REVENUE

Oil revenue increased $4,000 during the second quarter of 1996 as compared with
the same period during 1995 primarily due to an increase in the average oil
price from $18.53 per barrel in 1995 to $20.84 per barrel in 1996,  combined
with an increase in production.  Oil production increased 24% primarily due to
increased state allowable production limits.


GAS REVENUE

Gas revenue increased $37,000 during the second quarter of 1996 as compared to
the corresponding period in 1995 primarily as the result of an increase in the
average gas price from $1.84 per mcf in 1995 to $2.64 mcf in 1996.  Gas
production increased approximately 37% in the second quarter of 1996 as compared
with the second quarter of 1995 primarily due to increased state allowable
production limits.

LEASE OPERATING

Lease operating expense decreased $3,000 during the second quarter of 1996 as
compared with the second quarter of 1995 primarily due to decreases in operating
expenses resulting from cost savings measures implemented during 1995.

DEPLETION

Depletion expense increased $1,000 during the second quarter of 1996 as compared
to the corresponding period in 1995 as a result of a higher depletion rate
caused by the increase in oil and gas production discussed above.

LITIGATION SETTLEMENT

Litigation settlement expense represents the settlement of the Lamson lawsuit
which is further 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 of 1995 except for the following:

OIL  REVENUE

Oil revenue increased $6,000 during the first six months of 1996 as compared to
the corresponding period in 1995.  The increase is comprised of a 19% increase
in production combined with an increase in oil prices from $18.06 per barrel in
1995 to  $19.94 per barrel in 1996.  The increase in production is due to
increased state allowable production limits. 

GAS REVENUE

Gas revenue increased $82,000 during the first six months of 1996 as compared
with the same period during 1995.  The increase is comprised of a 16% increase
in gas production combined with an increase in gas prices from $1.74 per mcf in
1995 to $2.95 per mcf in 1996.  The increase in production is due to increased
state allowable production limits.

DEPLETION

Depletion expense decreased $1,000 during the first six months of 1996 as
compared with the same period during 1995 as a result of lower capitalized costs
in 1996 as compared with 1995.
