NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



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

Reference is hereby made to the Registrants
Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2007, 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 adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements on January 1,
2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is applicable whenever another accounting pronouncement
requires or permits assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 does not expand or require any new fair value measures. However, the application of this statement may change current practice. In February 2008, the FASB
decided that an entity need not apply this standard to non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until 2009. Accordingly, our adoption of this standard in
2008 was limited to financial assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We are still in the process of evaluating this standard with respect to its effect
on non-financial assets and liabilities and therefore have not yet determined the impact that it will have on our financial statements upon full adoption in 2009. Non-financial assets and liabilities for which we have not applied the provisions of
SFAS No. 157 include those measured at fair value in impairment testing.



|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 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 March 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.



|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, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007 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 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.

|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%.

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 eighty-six wells. Eighty-three wells were drilled and were productive and three 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 $(471,402) at March 31, 2008. The Partnership anticipates retaining revenue to increase working capital.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership made cash distributions to the investor partners in the amount of $1,326,533 as compared to $1,715,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
The Partnership expects that cash distributions will continue during 2008 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 decreased $78,397 (3.7%) for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. Of this decrease, $104,810 and $539,233, respectively, were related to decreases in volumes of oil and gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 1,096 bbls of oil
and 65,809 mcf of gas for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease in volumes of oil and gas sold was primarily due to the normal declines in production. These decreases were
partially offset by increases of $181,009 and $384,637, respectively, related to increases in the average prices of oil and gas sold. Average oil and gas prices increased to $95.62 per bbl and $8.19 per mcf for the three months ended March 31,
2008 from $55.68 per bbl and $6.79 per mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Lease operations and production taxes. Lease operating expense
during the period ended March 31, 2008 totaled $159,112, which was comparable to $141,613 for the period ended March 31, 2007. Production taxes during the period ended March 31, 2008 totaled $160,214 which was comparable to $164,293
for the period ended March 31, 2007.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the three month period
ended March 31, 2008 total $383,690, compared to $544,476 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was consistent with the decrease in the volume of oil and gas produced.

Administrative and general expense. Administrative and general expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 total $74,681 compared to $97,227 for the
period ended March 31, 2007. The overall decrease is due to decreased administrative expenses allocable to the partnership for the period ended March 31, 2008 and lower 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 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 three months ended March 31, 2008, a 10% change in the price received for natural gas production would have had an approximate $170,000 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. Since MDs December 31, 2007 annual report on internal control over financial reporting, and for the quarter ended March 31, 2008,
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.
