MAY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 1984-3
NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
The financial statements presented are those of May Limited Partnership 1984-3
(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, 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The terms of the partnership agreements governing the General Partnership and
the Limited Partnership provide for a fifteen year term of existence which
extends through November 7, 1999. The partnerships are expected to be liquidated
in December 1999. As a result, the General Partnership and the Limited
Partnership changed their basis of accounting from the going concern basis to
the liquidation basis effective December 31, 1998. Accordingly, assets have been
valued at estimated realizable value, net of estimated disposition costs, and
liabilities have been adjusted to estimated settlement amounts, as follows (in
thousands):

<S> <C> <C>
Appreciation of oil and gas properties $ 300 $ 89
Deferral of appreciated gain on oil and gas properties (300) (89)
</TABLE>
The Company received a fair market appraisal of its properties as of March 1,
1999. This fair market appraisal has been updated by the Limited Partnership's
in-house engineers to reflect the recent increase in oil and gas prices and the
results of the workover procedures performed on the Freddie Aker #1 well. When
the appraised value is compared to the historical net carrying value of the
Limited Partnership's oil and gas properties, there is an appreciation of
$300,000 and $89,000 at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
Because of the inherent uncertainty about the timing and amount of the gain that
may ultimately be realized, such estimated gain has been deferred at September
30, 1999 and December 31, 1998.
The statements of operations for the three months and the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, and cash flows of the Limited Partnership for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 have been prepared using the historical cost
(going concern) basis of accounting on which the General Partnership and the
Limited Partnership had previously reported their financial condition and
results of operations.
After November 7, 1999, the general partner began winding-up the Drilling
Partnership and the Limited Partnership. This process includes preparing a final
accounting, paying the liabilities of the Partnerships, and making a liquidating
distribution in accordance with the capital accounts of the partners. The
Limited Partnership owns a minority interest in one well. The general partner
anticipates that it will distribute any cash remaining after the payment of
liabilities, and will assign working interests in the well to the partners.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Limited Partnership distributed $333,000 to partners during the first nine
months of 1999. The Limited Partnership did not pay a distribution for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999.
<PAGE>
Issues Related to the Year 2000
Although the Limited Partnership will most likely be liquidated prior to the
Year 2000, it is continuing to pursue its Year 2000 Plan so that it will be
prepared, if necessary, to address Year 2000 problems.
General. The following Year 2000 statements constitute a Year 2000 Readiness
Disclosure within the meaning of the Year 2000 Information and Readiness
Disclosure Act of 1998. The Year 2000 problem has arisen because many existing
computer programs use only the last two digits to refer to a year. Therefore,
these computer programs do not properly recognize and process date sensitive
information beyond 1999. In general, there are two areas where Year 2000
problems may exist for the Limited Partnership: information technology such as
computers, programs and related systems ("IT") and non-information technology
systems such as embedded technology on a silicon chip ("Non IT").
The Plan. The Limited Partnership's Year 2000 Plan (the "Plan") has four phases:
(i) assessment, (ii) inventory, (iii) remediation, testing and implementation
and (iv) contingency plans. Approximately twelve months ago, the Limited
Partnership began its phase one assessment of its particular exposure to
problems that might arise as a result of the new millennium. The assessment and
inventory plans have been substantially completed and have assessed and
identified the Limited Partnership IT systems that must be updated or replaced
in order to be Year 2000 compliant. In particular, the software used by the
Limited Partnership for reservoir engineering must be updated or replaced.
Remediation, testing and implementation was substantially completed by September
30, 1999, and the contingency plans phase of the Plan is scheduled to be
completed by November 30, 1999.
To date, the Limited Partnership has determined that its IT systems are either
compliant or can be made compliant without material cost. However, the effects
of the Year 2000 problem on IT systems are exacerbated because of the
interdependence of computer systems in the United States. The Limited
Partnership's assessment of the readiness of third parties whose IT systems
might have an impact on the Limited Partnership's business has thus far not
indicated any material problems; the process of inquiring of third parties and
reviewing their responses is underway but is not complete.
With regard to the Limited Partnership's Non IT systems, the Limited Partnership
believes that most of these systems can be brought into compliance on schedule.
Because Non IT systems are embedded chips, it is difficult to determine with
complete accuracy where all such systems are located. However, to the best
knowledge of the general partner, the Limited Partnership's assessment of third
party readiness is complete.
Estimated Costs. Although it is difficult to estimate the total costs of
implementing the Plan through January 1, 2000 and beyond, the Limited
Partnership's preliminary estimate is that such costs will not be material.
However, although management believes that its estimates are reasonable, there
can be no assurance, for the reasons stated in the next paragraph, that the
actual cost of implementing the Plan will not differ materially from the
estimated costs.
Potential Risks. The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could
result in an interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business
activities or operations. This risk exists both as to the Limited Partnership's
IT and Non IT systems, as well as to the systems of third parties. Such failures
could materially and adversely affect the Limited Partnership's results of
operations, cash flow and financial condition. Due to the general uncertainty
inherent in the Year 2000 problem, resulting in large part from the uncertainty
of the Year 2000 readiness of third party suppliers, vendors and transporters,
the Limited Partnership is unable to determine at this time whether the
consequences of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on the Limited
Partnership's results of operations, cash flow or financial condition. Primarily
because of its reliance on third party suppliers, the Limited Partnership is not
currently able to determine the consequences of Year 2000 failures, however, its
current assessment is that its area of greatest potential risk is in connection
with the transporting and marketing of the oil and gas produced by the Limited
Partnership. The Limited Partnership has contacted the various purchasers and
pipelines with which it regularly does business to determine their state of
readiness for the Year 2000. While the purchasers and pipelines contacted by the
Limited Partnership will not guarantee their January 2000 readiness, to date,
none have indicated that they expect to encounter any serious problems.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In the interest of providing the partners with certain information regarding the
Limited Partnership's future plans and operations, certain statements set forth
in this Form 10-Q relate to management's future plans and objectives. Such
statements are forward-looking statements. Although any forward-looking
statements contained in this Form 10-Q or otherwise expressed by or on behalf of
the Limited Partnership are, to the knowledge and in the judgment of the
officers and directors of the general partner, expected to prove true and come
to pass, management is not able to predict the future with absolute certainty.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties
which may cause the Limited Partnership's actual performance and financial
results in future periods to differ materially from any projection, estimate or
forecasted result. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things,
volatility of oil and gas prices, competition, risks inherent in the Limited
Partnership's oil and gas operations, risk of mechanical failure, the inexact
nature of interpretation of seismic and other geological and geophysical data,
imprecision of reserve estimates, the Limited Partnership's ability to replace
and expand oil and gas reserves, and such other risks and uncertainties
described from time to time in the Limited Partnership's periodic reports and
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the dates for
completion of the phases of the Year 2000 Plan are based on the Limited
Partnership's best estimates, which were derived using numerous assumptions of
future events. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem,
resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of
third-parties and the interconnection of computer systems, the Limited
Partnership cannot ensure its ability to timely and cost-effectively resolve
problems associated with the Year 2000 issue that may affect its operations and
business. Accordingly, partners are cautioned that certain events or
circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected, estimated or predicted.
Results of Operations
Third Quarter 1999 Compared to Third Quarter 1998
Gas Revenue
Gas revenue decreased $46,000 during the third quarter of 1999 compared to the
third quarter of 1998 due to a decrease in production partially offset by an
increase in the average gas price. Gas production decreased 62% due to increased
rates of water production on the Freddie Aker #1 well in Louisiana. The average
gas price increased from $2.27 per mcf in 1998 to $3.03 per mcf in 1999.
Oil Revenue
Oil revenue decreased $18,000 in the third quarter of 1999 compared to the third
quarter of 1998 as a result of a decrease in production partially offset by an
increase in the average oil price. Oil production decreased 62% on the Freddie
Aker #1 due to increased rates of water production on the well. The average oil
price increased from $12.21 per barrel in 1998 to $19.58 per barrel in 1999.
Interest
Interest income decreased $2,000 during the third quarter of 1999 compared to
the third quarter of 1998 due to a lower average cash balance during 1999.
Lease Operating
Lease operating expense decreased $1,000 during the third quarter of 1999
compared to the third quarter of 1998 due to decreased maintenance activity on
the Freddie Aker #1 well.
Production Taxes
Production taxes decreased $4,000 during the third quarter of 1999 compared to
the third quarter of 1998 due to decreased production previously discussed.
<PAGE>
Depletion
Depletion expense increased $15,000 during the third quarter of 1999 compared to
the third quarter of 1998 due to an increase in capitalized costs resulting from
workover procedures performed on the Freddie Aker #1 well.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September
30, 1998
The comparisons for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 are consistent with those discussed in the third
quarter 1999 compared to the third quarter of 1998 except for the following.
Gas Revenue
Gas revenue decreased $197,000 during the first nine months of 1999 as compared
to the corresponding period in 1998 due to a decrease in production. Gas
production decreased 55% due to increased rates of water production on the
Freddie Aker #1 well. The average gas price remained constant at $2.52 per mcf
in 1998 and in 1999.
Oil Revenue
Oil revenue decreased $87,000 during the first nine months of 1999 as compared
to the corresponding period in 1998 due to a decrease in production, partially
offset by an increase in the average oil price. Oil production decreased 53% due
to increased rates of water production on the Freddie Aker #1 well. The average
oil price increased from $13.46 per barrel in 1998 to $14.40 per barrel in 1999.
