                         MAY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 1983-1
                          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, 1997 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 $53,000 of cash flow from operating activities during
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and distributed  $83,000 to partners.  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

First Quarter 1998 Compared to First Quarter 1997

Oil Revenue

Oil revenue  decreased  $2,000 during the first quarter of 1998 as compared with
the first  quarter of 1997.  The  decrease  is  comprised  of a decrease  in the
average  oil price from  $22.56 per barrel in 1997 to $16.12 per barrel in 1998,
partially  offset by an 8% increase  in  production  due to workover  procedures
performed during the second quarter of 1997.

Gas Revenue

Gas revenue decreased $6,000 during the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the
first quarter of 1997, as the result of a decrease in price, partially offset by
an increase in production. The average gas price decreased from $3.19 per mcf in
1997 to $2.42 per mcf in 1998.  Gas  production  increased  20% due to  workover
procedures performed during the second quarter of 1997.

Interest

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

Lease Operating

Lease  operating  expense  increased  $1,000 during the first quarter of 1998 as
compared  with the first quarter of 1997  primarily due to increased  production
taxes related to the increased oil and gas production discussed above.



<PAGE>


Depletion

Depletion  expense increased $2,000 during the first quarter of 1998 as compared
to the first quarter of 1997 as a result of a higher  depletion rate during 1998
resulting from the increase in oil and gas production discussed above.

Professional Services and Other

Professional  services  and other  expense  decreased  $1,000  during  the first
quarter of 1998 as  compared  with the first  quarter of 1997.  The  decrease is
comprised of a net decrease in miscellaneous  other expenses,  none of which are
individually significant.
