                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The financial  statements presented are those of  May Limited Partnership 1983-3
(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, 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 $68,000 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 $156,000 of cash flow from operating activities during
the three  months ended  March 31, 1996  and made  distributions of $94,000.   A
distribution was declared in April  1996.  The distribution amount  is $263,000,
payable $152,000 to May Drilling Partnership 1983-3 partners and $111,000 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.<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FIRST QUARTER 1996 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1995

OIL REVENUES

Oil revenues increased  $7,000 in the first  quarter of 1996 as  compared to the
corresponding  period in  1995 as  the result  of a  17% increase  in production
combined with  an increase in the  average oil price  from $17.63 per  barrel in
1995 to $19.24 per barrel in 1996.  The  increase in production is due to higher
state allowable production limits.

GAS REVENUES

Gas revenues  increased $151,000 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 20% primarily due
to an  increase in state  allowable production  limits.  The  average gas  price
increased from $1.66 per mcf in 1995 to $3.31 per mcf in 1996.

LEASE OPERATING

Lease operating  expense decreased $2,000  during the first  quarter of  1996 as
compared  to the  corresponding period  in 1995  due to  a reduction  in general
maintenance activity.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General  and administrative expense increased $3,000 during the first quarter of
1996  as compared  with the  first quarter  of 1995  due to  an increase  in the
allocation of overhead from the general partner.
