                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The financial statements presented  are those of May Limited  Partnership 1983-2
(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 1993  and June  1995, a  total of  15 lawsuits  were filed  against the
Partnership in the 15th  Judicial District Court, Lafayette   Parish, Louisiana,
Docket  Nos.  93-2332-F through  93-2345-F  and  952601-3B, each  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, Paul
Castille  #1 well,  Mary Guilbeau #1  well, Evangeline  Shrine Club  #1 well and
Duhon  #1  well,  which   represent  approximately  3%  to  4%  of  the  limited
partnership's interest  in these properties and are entitled to a portion of the
production from the wells since February 1990.  The limited  partnership has not
recognized revenue  attributable to  the contested  leases  since January  1993.
These revenues, totalling  approximately $61,000  at March 31,  1996, have  been
placed  in  escrow pending  resolution  of  the lawsuits.    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

The Partnership generated $142,000 of cash flow from operating activities during
the three  months ended March  31, 1996 and  made distributions  of $86,000.   A
distribution payable to partners of record as of March 31, 1996 was declared  in
April  1996.   The  distribution amount  is  $243,000, payable  $141,000 to  May
Drilling  Partnership 1983-2  partners  and  $102,000  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

FIRST QUARTER 1996 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1995

OIL REVENUE

Oil revenue  increased $5,000 in  the first quarter  of 1996 as compared  to the
corresponding period in 1995 as the result of an increase in production combined
with  an increase  in  the average  oil  price.   Oil  production increased  16%
primarily due  to an increase in state allowable production limits.  The average
oil price increased from $17.63 per barrel in 1995 to $19.44 per barrel in 1996.


GAS REVENUE

Gas  revenue increased $130,000 during the first  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 10% primarily due
to  an increase  in state allowable  production limits.   The  average gas price
increased from $1.65 per mcf in 1995 to $3.20 per mcf in 1996. 

LEASE OPERATING 

Lease  operating expense  decreased $2,000  for  the first  quarter  of 1996  as
compared to the corresponding period in  1995 primarily due to a decrease  in ad
valorem tax expense.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE 

General  and administrative expense increased $2,000 during the first quarter of
1996  as compared  to the  first  quarter of  1995  due to  an  increase in  the
allocation of overhead from the general partner.

DEPLETION 

Depletion expense decreased $2,000 during the  first quarter of 1996 as compared
with the  first quarter of 1995  as a result  of lower capitalized  costs during
1996 as compared with 1995.
