NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



|1. | Description of Business
|-- | -----------------------

Mewbourne Energy Partners 04-A, L.P. (the Registrant or the Partnership), a Delaware limited partnership, is engaged
primarily in oil and gas development and production in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, and was organized on January 27, 2004. The offering of limited and general partnership interests began June 10, 2004 as a part of an offering
registered under the name Mewbourne Energy Partners 04-05 Drilling Program, (the Program), and concluded August 20, 2004, with total investor contributions of $30,000,000 originally being sold to 1,118 subscribers of which
$27,235,000 were sold to 1,022 subscribers as general partner interests and $2,765,000 were sold to 96 subscribers as limited partner interests. During 2006, all general partner equity interests were converted to limited partner equity interests. In
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, Mewbourne Development Corporation (MD), a Delaware Corporation, has been appointed as the Partnerships managing general partner. MD has no significant equity interest in the
Partnership.



|2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|-- | ------------------------------------------

Reference is hereby made to the Registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2009, which contains a summary of significant accounting policies
followed by the Partnership in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are also followed in preparing the quarterly report included herein.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to
present fairly our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and partners capital for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the final results expected for the
full year.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On April 20, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-14, Accounting for
Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas: Amendments to Paragraph 932-10-S99-1 to make the definitions in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 932-10-S99-1 consistent with those in the SEC Final Rule, Modernization of Oil and Gas
Accounting. The Partnership adopted the new standards effective December 31, 2009. This update had no effect on the Partnerships financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



|3. | Accounting for Oil and Gas Producing Activities
|-- | -----------------------------------------------

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 June 30, 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 on the sale or other disposition of properties 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 were no cost ceiling write-downs
during the six months ended June 30, 2010. There was a cost ceiling write-down of $4,737,908 at March 31, 2009 but none at June 30, 2009.

|4. | 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 ownership interests, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 and the
year ended December 31, 2009 is as follows:



|                             |  |               |         |                   |   |

|4. | Related Party Transactions
|-- | --------------------------

In accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, Mewbourne Development Corporation (MD), a Delaware Corporation, has been
appointed as the Partnerships managing general partner. MD has no significant equity interest in the Partnership. 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 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. Services and operator charges are billed in accordance with the program and partnership agreements.

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.

|Operating costs, reporting and legal expenses, general and administrative expenses and all other costs |  | 70%         |  | 30% 



|(1) | 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.

Item 2.  Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Mewbourne Energy Partners 04-A, L.P. was formed January 27, 2004. The offering of limited and general partnership interests began
June 10, 2004 and concluded August 20, 2004, with total investor contributions of $30,000,000. During 2006, all general partner equity interests were converted to limited partner equity interests.

Future capital requirements and operations will be conducted with available funds generated from oil and gas activities. No bank borrowing is
anticipated. The Partnership had net working capital of $344,500 at June 30, 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010,
the Partnership made cash distributions to the investor partners in the amount of $1,072,595 as compared to $1,549,436 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Partnership expects that cash distributions will continue during 2010 as
additional oil and gas revenues are sufficient to produce cash flows from operations.

The sale of crude oil and natural gas produced by
the Partnership will be affected by a number of factors that are beyond the Partnership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 Partnership.

Oil and gas revenues. As shown in
the above table, total oil and gas sales increased by $170,843, a 32.8% increase, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Of this increase, $28,097 and $153,837 were due to increases in the average prices of oil and gas sold, respectively. Average prices rose to $75.66
from $53.78 per bbl and to $4.04 from $3.01 per mcf for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. In addition, $9,987 was due to an increase in the volume of oil sold by 132 bbls.

Those increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $21,078 due to a decline in the volume of gas sold. The volume sold decreased by
5,221 mcf for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in volume of gas sold was due to normal declines in production.

Lease operations. Lease operating expense during the three month period ended June 30, 2010 increased to $119,632 from $113,082 due to more
well repairs and workovers during the three month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Production taxes. Production taxes during the three month period ended June 30, 2010 increased to $51,862 from $37,144 for the three month
period ended June 30, 2009 due to higher revenue.

Administrative and general expense. Administrative and general expense for the
three month period ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $46,323 from $69,739 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. The overall decrease was due to decreased administrative expenses allocable to the Partnership for the three month
period ended June 30, 2010 and lower general expenses for reporting costs.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation,
depletion and amortization for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $102,010 from $117,064 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 due to a lower amortizable base at June 30, 2010. The reduced amortizable
base was due to the March 31, 2009 cost ceiling write-down of $4,737,908.

Of this decrease, $2,935 and $197,081 were due to decreases in the volumes of oil and gas sold by 39 bbls and 42,307 mcf, respectively. These were
due to normal declines in production. Also included in this decrease was $29,252 due to a decrease in the average price of gas sold. The average price fell to $4.66 from $4.75 per mcf for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2009.

the average price of oil sold. The average oil price rose to $75.26 from $46.15 per bbl for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Lease operations. Lease operating expense during the six month period ended June 30, 2010 increased to $260,796 from $241,752 due more well
repairs and workovers during the six month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Production taxes. Production taxes during the six month period ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $111,154 from $127,826 for the six month
period ended June 30, 2009 due to lower revenue.

Administrative and general expense. Administrative and general expense for the
six month period ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $80,227 from $118,670 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009. The overall decrease was due to decreased administrative expenses allocable to the Partnership for the six month period
ended June 30, 2010 and lower general expenses for reporting costs.

depletion and amortization for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $199,931 from $384,925 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 due to a lower amortizable base at June 30, 2010. The reduced amortizable base
was due to the March 31, 2009 cost ceiling write-down.

Cost ceiling write-down. There were no cost ceiling write-downs during the
six months ended June 30, 2010. There was a cost ceiling write-down of $4,737,908 at March 31, 2009 but none at June 30, 2009. The write-down was the result of lower oil and gas prices on that date.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk



|1. | Interest Rate Risk
|-- | ------------------

The Partnership Agreement
allows borrowings from banks or other financial sources of up to 20% of the total capital contributions to the Partnership without investor approval. Should the Partnership elect to borrow monies for additional development activity on Partnership
properties, it will be subject to the interest rate risk inherent in borrowing activities. Changes in interest rates could significantly affect the Partnerships results of operations and the amount of net cash flow available for partner
distributions. Also, to the extent that changes in interest rates affect general economic conditions, the Partnership will be affected by such changes.



|2. | Commodity Price Risk
|-- | --------------------

The Partnership does not
expect to engage in commodity futures trading or hedging activities or enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for trading or other speculative purposes. The Partnership currently expects to sell a significant amount of its
production from successful oil and gas wells on a month-to-month basis at market prices. Accordingly, the Partnership is at risk for the volatility in commodity prices inherent in the oil and gas industry, and the level of commodity prices will have
a significant impact on the Partnerships results of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, a 10% change in the price received for natural gas production would have had an approximate $131,000 impact on revenue.



|3. | Exchange Rate Risk
|-- | ------------------

The Partnership currently has
no income from foreign sources or operations in foreign countries that would subject it to currency exchange rate risk. The Partnership does not currently expect to purchase any prospects located outside of either the United States or United States
coastal waters in the Gulf of Mexico.

Item 4.   Disclosure Controls and Procedures

MD maintains a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and
other disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. MDs Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
disclosure controls and procedures with the assistance and participation of other members of management. Based upon that evaluation, MDs Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures
are effective for gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information the Partnership is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
Since MDs December 31, 2009 annual report on internal control over financial reporting, and for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, there have been no changes in MDs internal controls or in other factors which have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.
