PART I



|ITEM 1. | Business
|------- | --------

Mewbourne Energy Partners 08-A,
L.P. (the Registrant or the Partnership) is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 7, 2008 (date of inception). Mewbourne Development Corporation (MD), a Delaware
Corporation, has been appointed as the Registrants managing general partner. MD has no significant equity interest in the Registrant.

Limited and general partner interests in the Registrant were offered at $5,000 each to accredited investors in a private placement pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, with a maximum offering amount of $73,000,000 (14,600 interests). On August 4, 2008, the offering of limited and general partnership interests in the
Registrant was closed, with interests aggregating $73,000,000 originally being sold to accredited investors of which $68,105,000 were sold to accredited investors as general partner interests and $4,895,000 were sold to accredited investors as
limited partner interests.

The Registrant engages primarily in oil and gas development and production and is not involved in any other
industry segment. The Program is governed by a Drilling Program Agreement between the Registrant, MD and Mewbourne Oil Company (MOC), the program manager and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mewbourne Holdings, Inc., which is also the parent
of MD. MD does not make any capital contributions directly to the Registrant; rather, MD makes its capital contributions directly to the Program. See the financial statements in Item 8 of this report for a summary of the Registrants
revenue, income and identifiable assets.

The sale of crude oil and natural gas produced by the Registrant will be affected by a number of
factors that are beyond the Registrants control. These factors include the price of crude oil and natural gas, the fluctuating supply of and demand for these products, competitive fuels, refining, transportation, extensive federal and state
regulations governing the production and sale of crude oil and natural gas, and other competitive conditions. It is impossible to predict with any certainty the future effect of these factors on the Registrant.

The market for crude oil is such that the Registrant anticipates it will be able to sell all the crude oil it can produce. Natural gas will be sold to
local distribution companies, gas marketers and end users on the spot market. The spot market reflects immediate sales of natural gas without long-term contractual commitments. The future market condition for natural gas cannot be predicted with any
certainty, and the Registrant may experience delays in marketing natural gas production and fluctuations in natural gas prices.

Many aspects
of the Registrants activities are highly competitive including, but not limited to, the acquisition of suitable drilling prospects and the procurement of drilling and related oil field equipment, and are subject to governmental regulation,
both at Federal and state levels. The Registrants ability to compete depends on its financial resources and on the managing general partners staff and facilities, none of which are significant in comparison with those of the oil and gas
exploration, development and production industry as a whole. Federal and state regulation of oil and gas operations generally includes drilling and spacing of wells on producing acreage, the imposition of maximum allowable production rates, the
taxation of income and other items, and the protection of the environment.

The Registrant does not have any employees of its own. MD is
responsible for all management functions. Mewbourne Oil Company (MOC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mewbourne Holdings, Inc., which is also the parent of the Registrants managing general partner, has been appointed Program Manager
and is responsible for activities in accordance with a Drilling Program Agreement entered into by the Registrant, MD and MOC. At March 31, 2011, MOC employed 252 persons, many of whom dedicated a part of their time to the conduct of the
Registrants business during the period for which this report is filed.

The production of oil and gas is not considered subject to
seasonal factors although the price received by the Registrant for natural gas sales will generally tend to increase during the winter months. Order backlog is not pertinent to the Registrants business.

|ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

Oil and natural gas prices
are volatile. A decline in prices could adversely affect the Registrants financial position, financial results, and cash flows.

Revenues, operating results, and profitability depend primarily upon the prices received for oil and natural gas sales. Prices also affect the amount of
cash flow available for distribution. In addition, cost ceiling write-downs may be necessary in the future if prices fall significantly.

Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile and they are likely to continue to be volatile. Wide fluctuations in oil and natural
gas prices may result from relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, market uncertainty and other factors that are beyond the Registrants control, including:



| |  |  | worldwide and domestic supplies of oil and natural gas;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | weather conditions;
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | the level of consumer demand;
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | the price and availability of alternative fuels;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the proximity and capacity of natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the price and level of foreign imports;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | political instability or armed conflict in oil-producing regions; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | overall domestic and global economic conditions.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------

These factors and the volatility of the energy markets make it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in oil and natural gas prices would
not only reduce revenue, but could reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that can be produced economically and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on the Registrants financial condition, results of operations and reserves.
Further, oil and natural gas prices do not necessarily move in tandem. Because approximately 63% of the Registrants reserves at December 31, 2010 were natural gas reserves, the Registrant is more affected by movements in natural gas
prices.

The actual quantities and present value of proved reserves may prove to be lower than estimated.

This report contains estimates of proved reserves. These estimates are based upon various assumptions, including assumptions required by the SEC relating
to oil and natural gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is complex. The process involves significant decisions and assumptions in
the evaluation of available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. Therefore, these estimates are inherently imprecise.

Actual future production, oil and natural gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves most likely will vary from
these estimates. Such variations may be significant and could materially affect the estimated quantities and present value of proved reserves. In addition, the Registrant may adjust estimates of proved reserves to reflect production history, results
of exploration and development drilling, prevailing oil and natural gas prices and other factors, many of which are beyond the Registrants control. The Registrants properties may also be susceptible to hydrocarbon drainage from
production by operators on adjacent properties.

##### Table of Contents

Future price declines may result in a write-down of asset carrying values.

The Registrant utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for costs related to oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all such costs (for
both productive and nonproductive properties) are capitalized and amortized on an aggregate basis over the estimated lives of the properties using the unit-of-production method. However, these capitalized costs are subject to a ceiling test which
limits such pooled costs to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10% plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties. The full-cost ceiling is
evaluated at the end of each quarter using the oil and gas pricing guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. A significant decline in oil and natural gas prices from current levels, or other factors, without other mitigating
circumstances, could cause a future write-down of capitalized costs and a non-cash charge against future earnings.

The Registrants
ceiling test calculations indicated no impairment of oil and natural gas properties during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Oil and
natural gas drilling and producing operations can be hazardous and may expose the Registrant to environmental liabilities.

Oil and natural
gas operations are subject to many risks, including well blowouts, cratering and explosions, pipe failure, fires, formations with abnormal pressures, uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas, brine or well fluids, and other environmental hazards and
risks. If any of these risks occurs, the Registrant could sustain substantial losses as a result of:



| |  |  | injury or loss of life;
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pollution or other environmental damage;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | clean-up responsibilities;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | regulatory investigations and administrative, civil and criminal penalties; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | injunctions resulting in limitation or suspension of operations.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------

There is inherent risk of incurring significant environmental costs and liabilities in exploration and production operations due to generation, handling, and disposal of materials, including wastes and
petroleum hydrocarbons. The Registrant may incur joint and several, strict liability under applicable U.S. federal and state environmental laws in connection with releases of petroleum hydrocarbons and wastes on, under or from leased or owned
properties, some of which have been used for oil and natural gas exploration and production activities for a number of years, often by third parties not under the Registrants control. While the Registrant maintains insurance against some, but
not all, of the risks described above, the Registrants insurance may not be adequate to cover casualty losses or liabilities. Also, in the future the Registrant may not be able to obtain insurance at premium levels that justify its purchase.

In addition, in response to studies suggesting that emissions of certain gases may be contributing to
warming of the earths atmosphere, many states are beginning to consider initiatives to track and record these gases, generally referred to as greenhouse gases, with several states having already adopted regulatory initiatives aimed
at reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. Methane, a primary component of natural gas, and carbon dioxide, a byproduct of the burning of natural gas, are included among the types of gases targeted by greenhouse gas initiatives and laws. This
movement is in its infancy but regulatory initiatives or legislation placing restrictions on emissions of methane or carbon dioxide that may be imposed in various states of the United States could adversely affect operations of oil and gas wells and
the demand for oil and gas products.

Property Interests

The Registrants properties consist primarily of interests in properties on which oil and gas wells are located. Such property interests
are often subject to landowner royalties, overriding royalties and other oil and gas leasehold interests.

Fractional working interests in
developmental oil and gas prospects, located primarily in the Anadarko Basin of Western Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle, and the Permian Basin of New Mexico and West Texas, were acquired by the Registrant, resulting in the Registrants
participation in the drilling of oil and gas wells. At December 31, 2010, the Registrant owned working interests in 160 producing wells. The Registrant participated in the drilling of wells for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009,
as shown in the following table:

General

The Registrant was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on March 7, 2008. The
offering of limited and general partnership interests began May 1, 2008 as a part of an offering registered under the name Mewbourne Energy Partners 08 Drilling Program. The offering of limited and general partner interests in the Registrant
concluded August 4, 2008, with total investor partner contributions of $73,000,000.

The Registrant was formed to engage primarily in the
business of drilling development wells, to produce and market crude oil and natural gas produced from such properties, to distribute any net proceeds from operations to the general and limited partners and to the extent necessary, acquire leases
which contain drilling prospects. The economic life of the Registrant depends on the period over which the Registrants oil and gas reserves are economically recoverable.

|Average price/mcf |  | $    | 5.74       |  |      | $ | 4.41      | 

Oil and gas revenues. As shown in the
table above, total oil and gas sales rose by $7,422,890, a 44.6% increase, for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to year ended December 31, 2009.

Of this increase, $2,007,570 and $2,706,594 were due to increases in the average prices of oil and gas sold, respectively. Average prices rose to $75.10 from $59.39 per bbl and to $5.74 from $4.41 per mcf
for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.

Also included in the increase were $182,787
and $2,525,939 due to increases in the volumes of oil and gas sold, respectively. The volumes sold increased by 2,434 bbls and 440,276 mcf for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 due to the
greater number of wells in operation in 2010.

Interest income. Interest income decreased to $2,218 for the year ended December 31, 2010
from $6,581 for the year ended December 31, 2009 as cash was utilized for drilling and completion costs.

Lease operations. Lease
operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased to $1,913,145 from $1,097,806 for the year ended December 31, 2009 due to a greater number of wells being in operation in 2010.

Production taxes. Production taxes during the year ended December 31, 2010 increased to $1,240,338 from $842,605 for the year ended
December 31, 2009 due to increased revenue.

Administrative and general expenses. Administrative and general expenses increased to
$703,817 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $373,287 for the year ended December 31, 2009 due to increased administrative expenses allocable to the Partnership and higher legal and reporting costs.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization rose to $5,358,344 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from
$4,945,993 for the year ended December 31, 2009 due to increases in production.

Cost ceiling write-down. The $12,496,218 cost ceiling
write-down at March 31, 2009 was a result of decreased oil and gas prices on that date. There were no cost ceiling write-downs during 2010.

##### Table of Contents

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash decreased by $4,051,015 during the year ended December 31, 2010. Cash was utilized primarily for drilling and completion costs and cash distributions to partners. All wells for which funds have
been committed have been drilled. Any incidental future capital expenditures incurred will be paid with current available cash and revenues generated through oil and gas sales. Revenues which, in the sole judgment of the managing general partner,
are not required to meet the Registrants obligations will be distributed to the partners at least quarterly in accordance with the Registrants Partnership Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements 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 those estimates.

Significant
estimates inherent in the Registrants financial statements include the estimate of oil and gas reserves and future abandonment costs. Changes in oil and gas prices and the changes in production estimates could have a significant effect on
reserve estimates. The reserve estimates directly impact the computation of depreciation, depletion, and amortization, asset retirement obligation, and the ceiling test for the Registrants oil and gas properties.

All financing activities of the Registrant are reported in the financial statements. The Registrant does not engage in any off-balance sheet financing
arrangements. Additionally, the Registrant has no contractual obligations but has a financial obligation to plug and abandon non-producing properties as discussed below.

Full Cost Method of Accounting

The Registrant follows the full-cost method of accounting for its
oil and gas activities. Under the full-cost method, all productive and non-productive costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties are capitalized. Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas
properties subject to amortization is computed on the units-of-production method based on the proved reserves underlying the oil and gas properties. Oil and gas properties are subject to a quarterly ceiling test that limits such costs to the
aggregate of the present value of future net cash flows of proved reserves and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties. The present value of future net cash flows has been prepared by using the oil and gas pricing guidelines
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, projected development and production costs and a 10 percent annual discount rate.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Partnership
has recognized an estimated liability for future plugging and abandonment costs. A liability for the estimated fair value of the future plugging and abandonment costs is recorded with a corresponding increase in the full cost pool at the time a new
well is drilled. Depreciation expense associated with estimated plugging and abandonment costs is recognized in accordance with the full cost methodology.

##### Table of Contents

The Partnership estimates a liability for plugging and abandonment costs based on historical experience and
estimated well life. The liability is discounted using the credit-adjusted risk-free rate. Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in well plugging and abandonment costs or well useful lives, or if federal or state regulators enact new
well restoration requirements. The Partnership recognizes accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining life of the well.

A reconciliation of the Partnerships liability for well plugging and abandonment costs for the year ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is as follows:

Organization and Related Party Transactions

The Partnership was organized on March 7, 2008 in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware. MD, a Delaware Corporation, has been appointed as the Registrants managing general partner.
MD has no significant equity interest in the Registrant. Mewbourne Oil Company (MOC) is operator of oil and gas properties owned by the Partnership. Mewbourne Holdings, Inc. is the parent of both MD and MOC. Substantially all transactions are with
MD and MOC.

In the ordinary course of business, MOC will incur certain costs that will be passed on to well owners of the well for which the
costs were incurred. The Partnership will receive their portion of these costs based upon their ownership in each well incurring the costs. These costs are referred to as operator charges and are standard and customary in the oil and gas industry.
Operator charges include recovery of gas marketing costs, fixed rate overhead, supervision, pumping, and equipment furnished by the operator, some of which will be included in the full cost pool pursuant to Rule 4-10(c)(2) of Regulation S-X.
Reimbursement to MOC for operator charges totaled $1,208,437 and $3,097,027 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operator charges are billed in accordance with the Program and Partnership Agreements

In consideration for services rendered by MD in managing the business of the Partnership, the Partnership during each of the initial three years of the
Partnership pays to MD a management fee in the amount equal to 7/10s of 1% of the subscriptions by the investor partners to the Partnership. Management fees can only be paid out of funds available for distributions. Under this arrangement,
management fees of $511,000 were allocated to the Partnership for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Partnership includes the management fee as part of the full cost pool pursuant to Rule 4-10(c)(2) of
Regulation S-X.

##### Table of Contents

In general, during any particular calendar year, the total amount of administrative expenses allocated to
the Partnership by MOC shall not exceed the greater of (a) 3.5% of the Partnerships gross revenue from the sale of oil and natural gas production during each year (calculated without any deduction for operating costs or other costs and
expenses) or (b) the sum of $50,000 plus .25% of the capital contributions of limited and general partners. Administrative expenses can only be paid out of funds available for distributions. Under this arrangement, $728,206 and $349,857 were
allocated to the Partnership during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Partnership participates in oil and
gas activities through a Drilling Program Agreement (the Program). The Partnership and MD are parties to the Program Agreement. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to MD and the Partnership as follows:

|ITEM 9A. | Controls and Procedures
|-------- | -----------------------

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this
report, MDs management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of MDs principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Registrants disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, MDs principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Registrants
disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the
Registrant to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Registrants periodic reports.

(b) MD
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

MDs management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of MDs management, including MDs principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, MD conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Partnerships internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on MDs evaluation under the framework in Internal Control  Integrated Framework, MDs management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2010. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Registrants registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation
by the Registrants registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Registrant to provide only managements report in this annual report. There have been no changes in
MDs internal controls for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 or in other factors which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the internal controls over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Partners of Mewbourne Energy Partners 08-A L.P. and to the Board of Directors of Mewbourne Development Corporation

Tyler, Texas

We have audited the accompanying
balance sheets of Mewbourne Energy Partners 08-A L.P. (Partnership) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, change in partners capital and cash flows for the year ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits includes consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnerships internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Mewbourne Energy Partners 08-A, L.P.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business

Mewbourne Energy
Partners 08-A, L.P., (the Registrant or the Partnership), a Delaware limited partnership engaged primarily in oil and gas development and production in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, was organized on March 7, 2008. The
offering of limited and general partner interests began May 1, 2008 as a part of a private placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and concluded August 4, 2008, with
total investor contributions of $73,000,000 originally being sold to accredited investors of which $68,105,000 were sold to accredited investors as general partner interests and $4,895,000 were sold to accredited investors as limited partner
interests. During 2010 all general partner equity interests were converted to limited partner equity interests. The managing general partner has no significant equity interest in the Partnership.

The Programs sole business is the development and production of oil and gas with a concentration on gas. A substantial portion of the
Programs gas production is being sold regionally in the spot market. Due to the highly competitive nature of the spot market, prices are subject to seasonal and regional pricing fluctuations. In addition, such spot market sales are generally
short-term in nature and are dependent upon obtaining transportation services provided by pipelines. The prices received for the Programs oil and gas are subject to influences such as global consumption and supply trends.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements 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 those estimates.

Significant estimates inherent in the Registrants financial statements include the estimate of oil
and gas reserves and future abandonment costs. Changes in oil and gas prices and the changes in production estimates could have a significant effect on reserve estimates. The reserve estimates directly impact the computation of depreciation,
depletion, and amortization, asset retirement obligation, and the ceiling test for the Registrants oil and gas properties.

Full Cost
Accounting

The Partnership follows the full-cost method of accounting for its oil and gas activities. Under the full-cost method, all
productive and non-productive costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties are capitalized. Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties subject to amortization is computed on the
units-of-production method based on the proved reserves underlying the oil and gas properties. At December 31, 2010 and 2009 all capitalized costs were subject to amortization. Proceeds from the sale or other disposition of properties are
credited to the full cost pool. Gains and losses are not recognized unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved oil and gas reserves. Capitalized costs are subject to a quarterly
ceiling test that limits such costs to the aggregate of the present value of future net cash flows of proved reserves and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties. There was a cost ceiling write-down of $12,496,218 during the year
ended December 31, 2009. This occurred on March 31, 2009 due to lower oil and gas prices on that date. There were no cost ceiling write-downs during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Cash

The Partnership maintains all its cash in
one financial institution. At various times throughout the year, the cash amount may be in excess of the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued guidance on determining the estimated fair value for financial instruments. This disclosure states that the fair value of financial
instruments is determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. Such estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable
approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Partnership has recognized an estimated liability for future plugging and abandonment costs. The estimated liability is based on historical experience
and estimated well life. The liability is discounted using the credit-adjusted risk-free rate. Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in well plugging and abandonment costs or well useful lives, or if federal or state regulators enact
new well restoration requirements. The Partnership recognizes accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining life of the well.

A reconciliation of the Partnerships liability for well plugging and abandonment costs for the year ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is as follows:



|                                     |  |      |           |   |      |   |           |

|Balance, beginning of period         |  | $    | 1,049,107 |   |      | $ | 125,091   | 
|Liabilities incurred                 |  |      | 136,918   |   |      |   | 896,563   | 
|Liabilities reduced due to revisions |  |      | (628      | ) |      |   |          |

Oil and Gas Sales

The Programs oil and condensate production is sold and revenue recognized at or near the Programs wells under short-term purchase contracts at
prevailing prices in accordance with arrangements which are customary in the oil industry. Sales of gas applicable to the Programs interest are recorded as revenue when the gas is metered and title transferred pursuant to the gas sales
contracts covering the Programs interest in gas reserves. The Partnership uses the sales method to recognize oil and gas revenue whereby revenue is recognized for the amount of production taken regardless of the amount for which the
Partnership is entitled based on its working interest ownership. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, no material gas imbalances between the Partnership and other working interest owners existed.

Substantially all of the Partnerships accounts receivable result from oil and natural gas sales to third parties in the oil and natural gas
industry. This concentration of customers may impact the Partnerships overall credit risk in that these entities may be similarly affected by changes in economic and other conditions. Historically, the Partnership has not experienced
significant credit losses on such receivables. No bad debt expense was recorded in 2010 or 2009. The Partnership cannot ensure that such losses will not be realized in the future.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and, as a
result, income of the Partnership is reported on the tax returns of the partners and no recognition is given to income taxes in the financial statements. The Partnerships financial reporting basis of its net assets exceeded the tax basis of
its net assets by $34,184,615 and $33,544,727 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

3. Organization and Related Party Transactions:

The Partnership was organized on March 7, 2008 in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware. MD, a Delaware Corporation, has been appointed as the Registrants managing general partner.
MD has no significant equity interest in the Registrant. Mewbourne Oil Company (MOC) is operator of oil and gas properties owned by the Partnership. Mewbourne Holdings, Inc. is the parent of both MD and MOC. Substantially all transactions are with
MD and MOC.

In the ordinary course of business, MOC will incur certain costs that will be passed on to well owners of the well on which the
costs were incurred. The Partnership will be charged their portion of these costs based upon their ownership in each well incurring the costs. These costs are referred to as Operator charges and are standard and customary in the oil and gas
industry. Operator charges include recovery of gas marketing costs, fixed rate overhead, supervision, pumping, and equipment furnished by the operator, some of which will be included in the full cost pool pursuant to Rule 4-10(c)(2) of Regulation
S-X. Reimbursement to MOC for operator charges totaled $1,208,437 and $3,097,027 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Operator charges are billed in accordance with the Program and Partnership Agreements.

In consideration for services rendered by MD in managing the business of the Partnership, the Partnership during each of the initial three years of the
Partnership pays to MD a management fee in the amount equal to 7/10s of 1% of the subscriptions by the investor partners to the Partnership. Management fees can only be paid out of funds available for distributions. Under this arrangement,
management fees of $511,000 were allocated to the Partnership for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Partnership includes the management fee as part of the full cost pool pursuant to Rule 4-10(c)(2) of
Regulation S-X.

In general, during any particular calendar year, the total amount of administrative expenses allocated to the Partnership by
MOC shall not exceed the greater of (a) 3.5% of the Partnerships gross revenue from the sale of oil and natural gas production during each year (calculated without any deduction for operating costs or other costs and expenses) or
(b) the sum of $50,000 plus .25% of the capital contributions of limited and general partners. Administrative expenses can only be paid out of funds available for distributions. Under this arrangement, $728,206 and $349,857 were allocated to
the Partnership during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Partnership participates in oil and gas activities
through a Drilling Program Agreement (the Program). The Partnership and MD are parties to the Program Agreement. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to MD and the Partnership as follows:

|Organization and offering costs (1)                                                                    |  |             | 0   | % |    |  | 100 | %
|Lease acquisition costs (1)                                                                            |  |             | 0   | % |    |  | 100 | %
|Tangible and intangible drilling costs (1)                                                             |  |             | 100 | % |    |  | 0   | %
|Operating costs, reporting and legal expenses, general and administrative expenses and all other costs |  |             | 70  | % |    |  | 30  | %



|(1) | As noted above, pursuant to the Program, MD must contribute 100% of organization and offering costs and lease acquisition costs which should approximate 20% of total
capital costs. To the extent that organization and offering costs and lease acquisition costs are less than 20% of total capital costs, MD is responsible for tangible drilling costs until its share of the Programs total capital costs reaches
approximately 20%. The Partnerships financial statements reflect its respective proportionate interest in the Program.

Estimated Net Quantities of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves:

Reserve estimates as well as certain information regarding future production and discounted cash flows were determined by the Partnerships independent petroleum consultants, Forrest A.
Garb & Associates Inc., in accordance with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the FASBs accounting standard. The Partnership considers reserve estimates to be reasonable; however, due to inherent
uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data, estimates of oil and gas reserves are imprecise and subject to change over time as additional information becomes available.

These reserve estimates have been prepared using projected costs and the average first-of-the-month natural gas and oil prices for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and the twelve months
ended December 31, 2009.

##### Table of Contents

There have been no favorable or adverse events that have caused a significant change in estimated proved
reserves since December 31, 2010. The Partnership has no long-term supply agreements or contracts with governments or authorities in which it acts as producer nor does it have any interest in oil and gas operations accounted for by the equity
method. All reserves are located onshore within the United States. All proved reserves are developed; therefore, the Partnership has no proved undeveloped properties for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Technologies Used in Reserves Estimation

Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural
gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and
government regulations. The term reasonable certainty implies a high degree of confidence that the quantities of oil technologies that an entity can use to establish reserves. The SEC now allows use of techniques that have been proved
effective by actual production from projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir or by other evidence using reliable technology that establishes reasonable certainty. Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies
(including computational methods) that have been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation. To achieve reasonable
certainty, our technical team employs technologies that have been demonstrated to yield results with consistency and repeatability. The technologies and economic data used in the estimation of our proved reserves may include, but are not limited to,
empirical evidence through drilling results and well performance, well logs, geologic maps and available downhole and production data, seismic data, well test data and reservoir simulation modeling.
