                          NOTE 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, 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership  generated $87,000 of cash flow from operating activities during
the six months ended June 30, 1997. A distribution payable to partners of record
as of June 30,  1997 was  declared  in July  1997.  The  distribution  amount is
$100,000,  payable  $58,000 to May  Drilling  Partnership  1983-1  partners  and
$42,000 to the general  partner.  The ability of the  Partnership to make future
distributions is 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 1997 Compared to Second Quarter 1996

Oil Revenue

Oil revenue  decreased $5,000 during the second quarter of 1997 as compared with
the same period during 1996  primarily due to a decrease in production  combined
with a decrease in the average oil price.  The average oil price  decreased from
$20.84 per barrel in 1996 to $19.78 per barrel in 1997. Oil production decreased
40% primarily  due to the temporary  shut-in of two wells during May and June of
1997 while workover procedures were performed.

Gas Revenue

Gas revenue  decreased  $35,000 during the second quarter of 1997 as compared to
the  corresponding  period in 1996  primarily  as the  result of a  decrease  in
production  combined with a decrease in price. Gas production  decreased 37% due
to the temporary shut-in of two wells during May and June of 1997 while workover
procedures were performed. The average gas price decreased from $2.64 per mcf in
1996 to $2.26 per mcf in 1997.

Interest

Interest  income  increased  $1,000 during the second  quarter of 1997 as 
compared with the second  quarter of 1996 due to a higher average balance.

Lease Operating

Lease operating  expense  decreased  $4,000 during the second quarter of 1997 as
compared with the second quarter of 1996 primarily due to lower production taxes
resulting from the decrease in oil and gas revenue discussed above.


<PAGE>



General and Administrative

General and  administrative  expenses decreased $4,000 during the second quarter
of 1997 as  compared  with the same  period  in 1996  due to a  decrease  in the
allocation of overhead from the general partner.

Depletion

Depletion expense decreased $4,000 during the second quarter of 1997 as compared
to the corresponding period in 1996 as a result of a lower depletion rate during
1997 resulting from the decrease in oil and gas production discussed above.

Litigation Settlement

Litigation  settlement  expense during the second quarter of 1996 represents the
expense associated with the settlement of a property related lawsuit.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996

The  comparisons for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and the six months ended
June 30, 1996 are  consistent  with those  discussed in the second  quarter 1997
compared to the second quarter of 1996 except for the following:

Oil Revenue

Oil revenue  decreased $6,000 during the first six months of 1997 as compared to
the  corresponding  period in 1996  primarily  due to a decrease in  production,
partially  offset by an increase in the average oil price. The average oil price
increased  from  $19.94 per  barrel in 1996 to $21.34  per  barrel in 1997.  Oil
production  decreased 31%  primarily  due to the temporary  shut-in of two wells
during May and June of 1997 while workover procedures were performed.

Gas Revenue

Gas revenue decreased $57,000 during the first six months of 1997 as compared to
the  corresponding  period in 1996  primarily  as the  result of a  decrease  in
production  combined  with a decrease in price.  Gas  production  decreased  30%
primarily due to the temporary  shut-in of two wells during May and June of 1997
while workover  procedures were performed.  The average gas price decreased from
$2.95 per mcf in 1996 to $2.76 per mcf in 1997.

Professional Services and Other

Professional  services and other expense  increased  $2,000 during the first six
months of 1997 as compared  with the first six months of 1996.  The  increase is
primarily due to the timing of these expenses.
