ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
May Drilling Partnership 1983-3 (the "Drilling or General Partnership") and May Limited Partnership 1983-3 (the "Limited Partnership") were organized by May Petroleum Inc. ("May") to explore for and develop oil and gas reserves primarily in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Funds received from the sale and production of oil and gas reserves are used to pay the obligations of the Limited Partnership. Funds not required by the Limited Partnership as working capital are distributed to the participants in the Drilling Partnership and the general partner.
The general partner of the Limited Partnership is EDP Operating, Ltd., which is one of the operating partnerships for Hallwood Energy Partners, L. P. ("HEP"). The Drilling Partnership is the sole limited partner of the Limited Partnership. The Limited Partnership does not have any subsidiaries, nor does it engage in any other kind of business. The Limited Partnership has no employees and is operated by Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. ("HPI"), a subsidiary of HEP. In February 1996, HPI employed 133 full-time employees.
Pursuant to the terms of the general partnership agreement and the limited partnership agreement, HEP is obligated, from time to time, to contribute certain amounts, in property, cash or unreimbursed services, to the Limited Partnership. As of December 31, 1995, all such required contributions had been made.
PARTICIPATION IN EXPENSES AND REVENUES
The principal expenses and revenues of the Limited Partnership are shared by the general partner and the Drilling Partnership as set forth in the following table. The charges and credits to participants in the Drilling Partnership are shared among the participants in proportion to their ownership of units of participation.
In 1996, the sharing ratio will be 57.7% to the limited partner and 42.3% to the general partner.
To the extent that the characterization of any expense of the Limited Partnership depends on its deductibility for federal income tax purposes, the proper characterization is determined by the general partner (according to its intended characterization on the Limited Partnership's federal income tax return) in good faith at the time the expense is to be charged or credited. Such characterization will control related charges and credits to the partners regardless of any subsequent determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a court of law that the reported expenses should be otherwise characterized for tax purposes.
COMPETITION
Oil and gas must compete with coal, atomic energy, hydro-electric power and other forms of energy. See also "Marketing" for a discussion of the market structure for oil and gas sales.
REGULATION
Production and sale of oil and gas is subject to federal and state governmental regulations in a variety of ways including environmental regulations, labor law, interstate sales, excise taxes and federal, state and Indian lands royalty payments. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in fines, cancellation of licenses to do business and cancellation of federal, state or Indian leases.
The production of oil and gas is subject to regulation by the state regulatory agencies in the states in which the Limited Partnership does business. These agencies make and enforce regulations to prevent waste of oil and gas and to protect the rights of owners to produce oil and gas from a common reservoir. The regulatory agencies regulate the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning allowable production rates to wells capable of producing oil and gas.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The Limited Partnership and the General Partnership are partnerships for federal income tax purposes. Consequently, they are not taxable entities; rather, all income, gains, losses, deductions and credits are passed through and taken into account by the partners on their individual federal income tax returns. In general, distributions are not subject to tax so long as such distributions do not exceed the partner's adjusted tax basis. Any distributions in excess of the partner's adjusted tax basis are taxed generally as capital gains.
MARKETING
The oil and gas produced from the properties owned by the Limited Partnership has typically been marketed through normal channels for such products. Oil has generally been sold to purchasers at field prices posted by the principal purchasers of crude oil in the areas where the producing properties are located. The majority of the Limited Partnership's gas production is sold on the spot market and is transported in intrastate and interstate pipelines. Both oil and natural gas are purchased by refineries, major oil companies, public utilities and other users and processors of petroleum products.
Factors which, if they were to occur, might adversely affect the Limited Partnership include decreases in oil and gas prices, the availability of a market for production, rising operational costs of producing oil and gas, compliance with and changes in environmental control statutes and increasing costs and difficulties of transportation.
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER
For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, purchases by the following company exceeded 10% of the total oil and gas revenues of the Limited Partnership:
Although the Limited Partnership sells the majority of its production to one purchaser, there are numerous other purchasers in the area, so the loss of its significant customer would not adversely affect the Limited Partnership's operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The exploration for, and development of, oil and gas involve the extraction, production and transportation of materials which, under certain conditions, can be hazardous or can cause environmental pollution problems. In light of the present general interest in environmental problems, the general partner cannot predict what effect possible future public or private action may have on the business of the Limited Partnership. The general partner is continually taking all action necessary in its operations to ensure conformity with applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations and does not presently anticipate that the compliance with federal, state and local environmental regulations will have a material adverse effect upon capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the Limited Partnership in the oil and gas industry.
INSURANCE COVERAGE
The Limited Partnership is subject to all the risks inherent in the exploration for, and development of, oil and gas, including blowouts, fires and other casualties. The Limited Partnership maintains insurance coverage as is customary for entities of a similar size engaged in operations similar to the Limited Partnership's, but losses can occur from uninsurable risks or in amounts in excess of existing insurance coverage. The occurrence of an event which is not insured or not fully insured could have an adverse impact upon the Limited Partnership's earnings and financial position.
ITEM 2

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES
The Limited Partnership's oil and gas reserves are concentrated in prospects in south Louisiana. The Limited Partnership's reserves are predominantly natural gas, which accounts for 86% of estimated future gross revenues in the Limited Partnership's reserve report as of December 31, 1995.
SIGNIFICANT PROSPECTS
At December 31, 1995, the following prospects accounted for approximately 97% of the Limited Partnership's proved oil and gas reserves. Reserve quantities were obtained from the December 31, 1995 reserve report prepared by HPI's petroleum engineers.
BOUDREAUX PROSPECT. The Boudreaux prospect is located in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana. The Limited Partnership's interest in the prospect has remaining net proved reserves of 36,800 bbls of oil and 1,711,000 mcf of gas as of December 31, 1995, all of which are developed and producing at December 31, 1995. The Limited Partnership's working interest in this prospect ranges up to 3.5%.
MEAUX PROSPECT. The Meaux prospect is located in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana. The Limited Partnership's interest in the prospect has remaining net proved reserves of 800 bbls of oil and 77,000 mcf of gas as of December 31, 1995, all of which are developed and producing at December 31, 1995. The Limited Partnership's working interest in this prospect is 19.8%.

ITEM 6

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Material changes in the Limited Partnership's cash position for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 are summarized as follows:
Cash provided by operating activities in 1995 was used for distributions to the partners and additions to oil and gas properties. The Limited Partnership has net working capital of $316,000. This working capital, together with future net cash flows generated from operations may be used to fund future distributions. Future distributions depend on, among other things, continuation of current or higher oil and gas prices, markets for production and future development costs, and the outcome of the litigation described in Item 8, Note 3.
The Limited Partnership's ability to generate funds adequate to meet its future needs will be largely dependent upon its ability to continue to develop further its existing reserves. Proved reserves and discounted future net revenues (discounted at 10% and before general and administrative expenses) from proved reserves were estimated at 39,000 bbls and 1,844,000 mcf valued at $3,206,000 in 1995 and 39,000 bbls and 1,870,000 mcf valued at $2,872,000 in 1994. The increase in discounted future net revenues and the fluctuation in the quantities resulted from an increase in year end oil and gas prices as well as changes in the estimated rates of production on certain wells.
During 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long- Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121 provides the standards for accounting for the impairment of various long- lived assets. The Limited Partnership is required to adopt SFAS 121 no later than 1996. The Limited Partnership uses the full cost method of accounting for its only long-lived assets, which requires an impairment to be recorded when total capitalized costs exceed the present value, discounted at 10%, of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS 121 is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Limited Partnership.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - ---------------------
1995 COMPARED TO 1994 - ---------------------
OIL REVENUE
Oil revenue increased $11,000 during 1995 as compared with 1994. The increase is comprised of an increase in the average oil price from $16.03 per barrel in 1994 to $17.68 per barrel in 1995 combined with a 2% increase in production as shown in the table below. The increase in production is due to increased state allowable production limits, partially offset by normal production declines as well as the temporary abandonment of one well and sale of another during the second quarter of 1994.
GAS REVENUE
Gas revenue decreased $40,000 during 1995 as compared with 1994. The decrease is due to a decrease in the average gas price from $2.15 per mcf during 1994 to $1.84 per mcf during 1995, partially offset by an 8% increase in production as shown below. The increase in production is due to increased state allowable production limits, partially offset by normal production declines as well as the temporary abandonment of one well and the sale of another during the second quarter of 1994.
The following table summarizes the Limited Partnership's share of production from the Limited Partnership's significant properties for 1995 and 1994.
LEASE OPERATING
Lease operating expense decreased $23,000 during 1995 as compared with 1994 primarily due to the sale of the Warwick Richard #1 during the second quarter of 1994 and the temporary abandonment of the Duhon #1.
PRODUCTION TAXES
Production taxes increased $16,000 during 1995 as compared with 1994 as a result of the settlement of a lawsuit which resulted in lower production taxes during 1994.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses decreased $27,000 during 1995 as compared with 1994 due to a decrease in the allocation of overhead from the general partner.
DEPLETION
Depletion expense increased $12,000 during 1995 as compared with 1994 due to a higher depletion rate caused by the 8% increase in oil and gas production during 1995.
LITIGATION SETTLEMENT
Litigation settlement expense during 1995 primarily represents amounts paid in connection with the settlement of a royalty dispute on the Duhon #1 well.
1994 COMPARED TO 1993 - ---------------------
OIL REVENUES
Oil revenues decreased $61,000 in 1994 as compared to 1993. The average oil price decreased from $17.88 per barrel in 1993 to $16.03 per barrel in 1994. Oil production decreased 36% as shown in the table below, primarily due to the reduction in state allowable production limits, as well as normal production declines. GAS REVENUES
Gas revenues decreased $461,000 as compared to 1993. The average gas price decreased from $2.26 per mcf in 1993 to $2.15 per mcf in 1994. Gas production decreased 42% as shown in the table below, primarily due to the reduction in state allowable production limits, as well as normal production declines.
The following table summarizes the Limited Partnership's share of production from the Limited Partnership's significant properties for 1994 and 1993.
LEASE OPERATING
Lease operating expense decreased $14,000 as compared to 1993, primarily due to the sale of the Warwick Richard #1 during the second quarter of 1994.
PRODUCTION TAXES
Production taxes decreased $45,000 in 1994 as compared to 1993, primarily due to the decrease in revenues mentioned previously.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses decreased $26,000 in 1994 as compared to 1993, due to a decrease in allocation of overhead from the general partner.
DEPLETION
Depletion expense decreased $68,000 as compared to 1993, primarily due to a lower depletion rate. LITIGATION SETTLEMENT
Litigation settlement expense during 1993 represents the costs of a lawsuit settlement which is discussed in Item 8

MAY DRILLING PARTNERSHIP 1983-3 AND MAY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 1983-3
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS
GENERAL PARTNERSHIP
May Drilling Partnership 1983-3, a Texas general partnership (the "General Partnership"), was organized by May Petroleum Inc. ("May") for the purpose of oil and gas exploration through May Limited Partnership 1983-3 (the "Limited Partnership"). The General Partnership was formed on November 7, 1983, with investors ("Participants") subscribing an aggregate of $11,629,000 in assessable $1,000 units. After the expenditure of the initial contributions of the Participants, additional mandatory assessments from each Participant are provided for under the terms of the general partnership agreement in an amount up to 25% of the initial contribution of the Participant. No additional assessments were made.
The general partnership agreement requires that the manager, Hallwood Energy Partners, L. P. ("HEP"), offer to repurchase partnership interests from Participants for cash at amounts to be determined by appraisal of the Limited Partnership's net assets no later than December 31, 1988, and during the two succeeding years, if such net assets are positive. The manager has made repurchase offers in all years since 1989 and intends to make a repurchase offer in 1996.
As the General Partnership is the sole limited partner of the Limited Partnership, its results of operations, cash flows and changes in partners' capital are equal to the limited partner's share of the Limited Partnership's results of operations, cash flows and changes in partners' capital as set forth herein. Therefore, separate statements of operations, cash flows and changes in partners' capital are not presented for the General Partnership.
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
The Limited Partnership, a Texas limited partnership, was organized by May and the General Partnership, for the purpose of oil and gas exploration and the production of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products. The Limited Partnership's oil and gas reserves are located in prospects in south Louisiana. Among other things, the terms of the Limited Partnership agreement (the "Agreement") give the general partner the authority to borrow funds. The Agreement also requires that the general partner's total capital contributions to the Limited Partnership as of each year end, including unrecovered general partner acreage and equipment advances, must be compared to total Limited Partnership expenditures from inception to date, and if such contributions are less than 15% of such expenditures, an additional contribution in the amount of the deficiency is required. At December 31, 1995, no additional contributions were necessary to comply with this requirement.
On June 30, 1987, May sold to HEP all of its economic interest in the Limited Partnership and account receivable balances due from the Limited Partnership. HEP became the general partner of the Limited Partnership in 1988.
SHARING OF COSTS AND REVENUES
Capital costs, as defined by the Agreement, for commercially productive wells and the costs related to the organization of the Limited Partnership are borne by the general partner. Noncapital costs and direct expenses, as defined by the Agreement, are charged 1% to the general partner and 99% to the limited partner. Oil and gas sales, operating expenses and general and administrative overhead are shared so that the general partner's allocation will equal the percentage that the amount of Limited Partnership expenses, as defined, allocated to the general partner bears to the aggregate amount of Limited Partnership expenses allocated to the general partner and the limited partner, plus 15 percentage points, but in no event will the general partner's allocation exceed 50%. The sharing ratio for each of the last three years was as follows:
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER
For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, purchases by the following company exceeded 10% of the total oil and gas revenues of the Limited Partnership:
Although the Limited Partnership sells the majority of its production to one purchaser, there are numerous other purchasers in the area, so the loss of its significant customer would not adversely affect the Limited Partnership's operations.
INCOME TAXES
No provision for federal income taxes is included in the financial statements of the Limited Partnership or the General Partnership because, as partnerships, they are not subject to federal income tax and the tax effects of their activities accrue to the partners. The partnerships' tax returns, the qualification of the General and Limited Partnerships as partnerships for federal income tax purposes, and the amount of taxable income or loss are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such examinations result in changes to the partnerships' taxable income or loss, the tax liability of the partners could change accordingly.
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
The Limited Partnership follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties and, accordingly, capitalizes all costs associated with the exploration and development of oil and gas reserves.
The capitalized costs of evaluated properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit of production basis. Full cost amortization per dollar of gross oil and gas revenues was $.21 in 1995, $.18 in 1994 and $.16 in 1993.
Capitalized costs are limited to an amount not to exceed the present value of estimated future net cash flows. No valuation adjustment was required in 1995, 1994 or 1993. Significant price declines in the future could cause the Limited Partnership to experience valuation adjustments and could reduce the amount of future cash flow available for distributions and operations.
Generally no gains or losses are recognized on the sale or disposition of oil and gas properties. Maintenance and repairs are charged against income when incurred.
During 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long- Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121 provides the standards for accounting for the impairment of various long- lived assets. The Limited Partnership is required to adopt SFAS 121 no later than 1996. The Limited Partnership uses the full cost method of accounting for its only long-lived assets, which requires an impairment to be recorded when total capitalized costs exceed the present value, discounted at 10%, of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS 121 is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Limited Partnership.
GAS BALANCING
The Limited Partnership uses the sales method for accounting for gas balancing. Under this method, the Limited Partnership recognizes revenue on all of its sales of production, and any over production or under production is recovered at a future date.
As of December 31, 1995, the net imbalance to the Limited Partnership interest is not considered material. Current imbalances can be made up with production from existing wells or from wells which will be drilled as offsets to current producing wells.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements for the Limited Partnership and General Partnership in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. ("HPI"), a subsidiary of the general partner, pays all costs and expenses of operations and receives all revenues associated with the Limited Partnership's properties. At month end, HPI distributes revenues in excess of costs to the Limited Partnership.
The amounts due from HPI were $39,000 and $11,000 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These balances represent net revenues less operating costs and expenses.
CASH FLOWS
All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' amounts to conform to the classifications used in the current year.
(2) GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD
HPI conducts the day to day operations of the Limited Partnership and other affiliated partnerships of HEP. The costs of operating the entities are allocated to each partnership based upon the time spent on that partnership. General and administrative overhead allocated by HPI to the Limited Partnership totaled $80,000 in 1995, $103,000 in 1994 and $143,000 in 1993.
(3) LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In June 1993, 14 lawsuits were filed against the Limited Partnership in the 15th Judicial District Court, Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, Docket Nos. 93-2332-F through 93-2345-F, styled Lamson Petroleum Corporation v. Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. et al. The plaintiffs in the lawsuits claim that they have valid leases covering streets and roads in the units of the A. L. Boudreaux #1 well, G. S. Boudreaux #1 well, Mary Guilbeau #1 well and Duhon #1 well, which represents 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 dating from February 1990. The Limited Partnership has not recognized revenue attributable to the contested leases since January 1993. These revenues, totaling $61,000 at December 31, 1995, have been placed in escrow pending resolution of the lawsuits. At this time, the Limited Partnership believes that the difference between the escrowed amount and the amount of any liability that may result upon resolution of this matter will not be material.
In February 1994, the Limited Partnership and the other parties to the lawsuit styled SAS Exploration, Inc. v. Hall Financial Group, Inc. et al. settled the lawsuit. The plaintiffs alleged that certain leases in the A. L. Boudreaux #1 and A. M. Duhon #1 wells expired and terminated at the end of their primary terms as a result of production being from the Bol Mex 4 Sand rather than the A. B. Sand. In the settlement, the Limited Partnership and the plaintiffs cross- conveyed interests in certain leases to one another and the Limited Partnership paid the plaintiffs $306,000. The cash paid by the Limited Partnership was reflected as litigation settlement expense in the December 31, 1993 financial statements. The interest conveyance resulted in a decrease in the Limited Partnership's reserves as of December 31, 1993 totaling 197,000 mcf of gas, 4,100 barrels of oil and $371,000 in future net revenues, discounted at 10%.
