                          NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (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, 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 $340,000 of cash flow from operating activities during
the six months  ended June 30,  1998 and  distributed  $353,000 to  partners.  A
distribution  payable to partners of record as of June 30, 1998 was  declared in
July 1998. The  distribution  amount is $150,000 payable $86,250 to May Drilling
Partnership  1983-3  partners  and  $63,750  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

Second Quarter 1998 Compared to Second Quarter 1997

Gas Revenue

Gas revenue  increased  $89,000 during the second quarter of 1998 as compared to
the  second  quarter  of 1997,  as the  result  of an  increase  in price and an
increase in  production.  The average gas price  increased from $2.26 per mcf in
1997 to  $2.48  per mcf in  1998.  Gas  production  increased  61%  because  two
temporarily  shut-in  wells were back on line.  The two wells  were  temporarily
shut-in while workover  procedures  were performed  during the second quarter of
1997.

Oil Revenue

Oil revenues  remained constant in the second quarter of 1998 as compared to the
second quarter of 1997.  The average oil price  decreased from $18.91 per barrel
in 1997 to  $13.14  per  barrel  in  1998,  and oil  production  increased  51%.
Production  increased  because two temporarily  shut-in wells were back on line.
The two wells were temporarily  shut-in while workover procedures were performed
during the second quarter of 1997.

Lease Operating

Lease operating  expense  increased $13,000 during the second quarter of 1998 as
compared  to the  second  quarter  of 1997  due to  increased  production  taxes
resulting from increased production discussed above.

Depletion

Depletion  expense  increased  $14,000  during  the  second  quarter  of 1998 as
compared to the second  quarter of 1997 as a result of a higher  depletion  rate
resulting from the increased production discussed above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

The  comparisons for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and the six months ended
June 30, 1997 are  consistent  with those  discussed in the second  quarter 1998
compared to the second quarter of 1997 except for the following:

Gas Revenue

Gas revenue increased $70,000 during the first six months of 1998 as compared to
the  corresponding  period in 1997 due to an increase in  production,  partially
offset  by a  decrease  in price.  Gas  production  increased  39%  because  two
temporarily  shut-in  wells were back on line.  The two wells  were  temporarily
shut-in while workover  procedures  were performed  during the second quarter of
1997.  The average gas price  decreased  from $2.79 per mcf in 1997 to $2.45 per
mcf in 1998.

Oil Revenue

Oil revenue  decreased $6,000 during the first six months of 1998 as compared to
the  corresponding  period in 1997 due to a decrease  in the  average oil price,
partially  offset by an increase in production.  The average oil price decreased
from  $21.01 per barrel in 1997 to $14.55  per  barrel in 1998.  Oil  production
increased 26% because two  temporarily  shut-in wells were back on line. The two
wells were  temporarily  shut-in  while to workover  procedures  were  performed
during the second quarter of 1997.

Professional Services and Other

Professional  services and other expense  decreased  $1,000 during the first six
months of 1998 as compared with the first six months of 1997  primarily due to a
net  decrease in  numerous  miscellaneous  items none of which are  individually
significant.
