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 Programs 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.

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 September 30, 2006, approximately $130,000 of capitalized costs were excluded from amortization, while at September 30, 2005, approximately
$1,700,000 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 a cost ceiling write-down of $11,239,303 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. The cost ceiling write-down was
principally caused by the lower gas prices at September 30, 2006.

3. Asset Retirement Obligations

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 143, Accounting for 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 nine months
ended September 30, 2006, is as follows:



|                             |  |   |        
|---------------------------- |  | - | -------
|Balance, beginning of period |  | $ | 26,373 
|Liabilities incurred         |  |   | 70,372 
|Accretion expense            |  |   | 3,716  
|Balance, end of period       |  | $ | 100,461

4. Related Party Transactions

Mewbourne Development Corporation (MD) is managing general partner and 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. 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 7/10s of 1% of the subscriptions by the investor partners to the Partnership. Effective 01/01/2006 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.

5. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Partnership recorded non-cash increases to our oil and gas properties related to the incurrence of additional accounts payable to MOC totaling $73,034.

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

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.

The Partnership has
acquired interests in oil and gas prospects for the purpose of development drilling. The Partnership has participated in the drilling of 85 wells. 82 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 $1,424,885 at September 30, 2006.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Partnership made
cash distributions to the investor partners in the amount of $4,435,000. The Partnership expects that cash distributions will continue during 2006 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.

Results of Operations

Revenues and other income for the three months period ended September 30, 2006 totaled $2,675,371, and consisted of oil and gas sales of $2,648,015 and interest
income of $27,356. Production volumes during the period ended September 30, 2006 were approximately 5,745 bbls of oil and 390,144 mcf of gas at corresponding average realized prices of $66.89 per bbl of oil and $5.80 per mcf of gas. Expenses
totaling $7,532,670, consisting primarily of lease operating expenses in the amount of $142,246, production taxes in the amount of $211,085, depreciation, depletion, and amortization in the amount of $985,536, and a cost ceiling write-down in the
amount of $6,120,960 resulted in net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 of $4,857,299. The Partnerships oil and gas production should increase during the remainder of 2006 as production from recently completed wells
is sold. Interest income should decrease for the remainder of 2006 as available cash is utilized for drilling and equipping of wells. The Partnership expects that drilling and completion costs will decrease during the remainder of 2006 and that
production costs, operating expenses and depletion provisions will increase.

Revenues and other income for the nine months period ended September 30,
2006 totaled $5,879,407, and consisted of oil and gas sales of $5,612,532 and interest income of $266,875. Production volumes during the period ended September 30, 2006 were approximately 9,354 bbls of oil and 832,279 mcf of gas at
corresponding average realized prices of $66.15 per bbl of oil and $6.00 per mcf of gas. Expenses totaling $14,371,365, consisting primarily of lease operating expenses in the amount of $259,998, production taxes in the amount of $437,140,
depreciation, depletion, and amortization in the amount of $2,263,138, and a cost ceiling write-down in the amount of $11,239,303 resulted in net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 of $8,491,958. The cost ceiling write-down
was caused by the lower gas price at September 30, 2006. The Partnerships oil and gas production should increase during the remainder of 2006 as production from recently completed wells is sold. Interest income should decrease for the
remainder of 2006 as available cash is utilized for drilling and equipping of wells. The Partnership expects that drilling and completion costs will decrease during the remainder of 2006 and that production costs, operating expenses and depletion
provisions will increase.

The Partnerships operations did not commence until the third quarter of 2005. Revenues and other income from the period
from February 14, 2005 (date of inception) through September 30, 2005 totaled $170,774, and consisted of gas sales of $25,810 and interest income of $144,964. Production volumes were approximately 2,798 mcf of gas at corresponding average
realized prices of $9.22 per mcf of gas. Expenses totaling $14,061, consisting primarily of lease operating expenses in the amount of $566, production taxes in the amount of $1,881, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization in the amount of
$8,855 resulted in net income for the period of $156,713.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2006, a 10% change in the price received for natural gas production would have
had an approximate $499,000 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 as of September 30, 2006 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 MDCs internal controls or in other factors which has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect the
internal controls over financial reporting
