NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Accounting Policies

Reference is hereby made to the Registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2006, 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.

2. Accounting for Oil and Gas Producing Activities

Mewbourne Energy
Partners 05-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
February 14, 2005. The offering of limited and general partnership interests began June 1, 2005 as a part of an offering registered under the name Mewbourne Energy Partners 04-05 Drilling Program, (the Program), and concluded
July 29, 2005, with total investor contributions of $30,000,000 originally being sold to 1,128 subscribers of which $26,844,000 were sold to 998 subscribers as general partner interests and $3,156,000 were sold to 130 subscribers as limited
partner interests. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, all general partner interests were converted to limited partner interests and accordingly all partnership interests have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as
limited partner 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 equity
interest in the Partnership.

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 March 31, 2007, all capitalized costs were subject to amortization while at March 31, 2006, approximately $5.6 million of capitalized costs
were excluded from 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 was no cost ceiling write-down for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. There was a cost ceiling write-down of $1,859,166 for the three month period ended
March 31, 2006.

3. 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 three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2006 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 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. Services and 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 will
pay to MD a management fee in the amount equal to .7% of the subscriptions by the investor partners to the partnership. Effective January 1, 2006 the Partnership has elected to include the management fee as part of the full cost pool pursuant
to Rule 4-10(c)(6)(iii) and (iv) 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.

|(1) | Pursuant to the Program, MD must contribute 100% of organization and offering costs and lease acquisition costs which 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%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Mewbourne Energy Partners 05-A, L.P. was formed February 14, 2005. The offering
of limited and general partnership interests began June 1, 2005 and concluded July 29, 2005, with total investor contributions of $30,000,000. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, all general partner interests were converted to
limited partner interests and accordingly all partnership interests have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as limited partner interests.

The Partnership has acquired interests in oil and gas prospects for the purpose of development drilling. The Partnership participated in the drilling of 86 wells. 83 wells were drilled and were productive and 3 wells were drilled and
abandoned.

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 $(38,044) at March 31, 2007.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the
Partnership made cash distributions to the investor partners in the amount of $1,715,000 as compared to $1,075,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The Partnership expects that cash distributions will continue during 2007 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.

As shown in the table above, total oil and gas sales increased $724,253 (52.4%) for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. Of this increase, $198,149 and $536,149, respectively, were related to increases in volumes of oil and gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold increased 3,559 bbls of oil
and 79,140 mcf of gas for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in volumes of oil and gas sold was primarily due to the addition of 40 new wells completed since
March 31, 2006. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $4,657 and $5,388, respectively, related to decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold. Average oil and gas prices decreased to $55.68 per bbl and $6.79 per mcf for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $60.46 per bbl and $6.82 per mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Interest income. Interest
income was $1,583 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $129,263 during the three month period ended March 31, 2006. Interest income decreased in 2007 as available cash was utilized for drilling and equipping of wells
during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Lease operations and production taxes. Lease operating expense during the period ended March 31, 2007
totaled $141,613 compared to $49,641 for the period ended March 31, 2006. Production taxes during the period ended March 31, 2007 totaled $164,293 as compared to $107,515 for the period ended March 31, 2006. Lease operating expenses
and production taxes increased as additional wells were drilled and completed during 2006.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation,
depletion and amortization for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 total $544,476, which is comparable to $556,804 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006.

Cost ceiling write-down. There was no cost ceiling write-down for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. There was a cost ceiling write-down of $1,859,166 for the three month period ended March 31,
2006.

Administrative and general expense. Administrative and general expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 total $97,227 compared
to $35,838 for the period ended March 31, 2006. The overall increase is due to increased administrative expenses allocated to the partnership by MOC and higher general expenses for reporting costs.

|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 vast majority 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 three months ended March 31, 2007, a 10% change in the price received for natural gas production would have had an approximate $185,000
impact on our 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. There have been no changes in MDs internal controls for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 or in other factors which have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the internal controls over financial reporting.
