NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



|1. | Accounting Policies
|-- | -------------------

Reference is hereby made to the Registrants
Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2008, 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. We have evaluated the impact on these condensed financial statements of all subsequent events through August 14, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement SFAS No. 165  In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165). SFAS
No. 165 establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has
evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date; that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. Consistent with SFAS No. 165 requirements for public entities, we
evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued. SFAS No. 165 should not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports, either through recognition or disclosure, in its financial
statements. SFAS No. 165 is effective for reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 on June 15, 2009 did not impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See the above
paragraph for the related disclosure.



|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
2007, 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.

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, 2009 and 2008, 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 was a cost ceiling write-down of $4,960,963 at March 31, 2009 but none at June 30, 2009. There were no cost ceiling write-downs during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

|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 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, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008 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. 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 six 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)(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.

|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.

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 2007, 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 $27,647 at June 30, 2009.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Partnership
made cash distributions to the investor partners in the amount of $1,544,241 as compared to $2,646,387 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The Partnership expects that cash distributions will continue during 2009 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 decreased by $2,309,852, an 83.8%
decline, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Of this decrease, $294,831 and $1,508,128
were due to decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold, respectively. Average prices fell to $48.87 from $120.89 per bbl and to $3.14 from $9.42 per mcf for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2008. In addition, $108,403 and $398,490 were due to decreases in the volumes of oil and gas sold by 2,218 bbls and 126,965 mcf. The decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold were primarily due to normal declines in production and to
the curtailment of some of the Partnerships wells during April, 2009 and May, 2009.

Lease operations. Lease operating expense during the three month
period ended June 30, 2009 decreased to $81,152 from $110,560 due to fewer well repairs and workovers in the three month period ended June 30, 2009.

Production taxes. Production taxes during the three month period ended June 30, 2009 decreased to $27,083 from $169,730 for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 due to lower revenue.

Administrative and general expense. Administrative and general expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 decreased to $64,024 from $107,371 for the
three month period ended June 30, 2008. The overall decrease was due to decreased administrative expenses allocable to the Partnership for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 and lower general expenses for reporting costs.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 decreased to
$132,160 from $416,802 for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 due to a lower amortizable base at June 30, 2009. The reduced amortizable base was due to the March 31, 2009 cost ceiling write-down of $4,960,963.

month period ended June 30, 2008. The overall decrease was due to decreased administrative expenses allocable to the Partnership for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and lower general expenses for reporting costs.

for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 due to a lower amortizable base at June 30, 2009. The reduced amortizable base was due to the March 31, 2009 cost ceiling write-down.

Cost ceiling write-down. There was a cost ceiling write-down of $4,960,963 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. There were no cost ceiling write-downs during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

|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, 2009, a 10% change in the price received for natural gas production would have had an approximate $120,000 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, 2008 annual report on internal control over financial reporting, and for the quarter ended June 30, 2009,
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.
