NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



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

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.



|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

In February 2010, FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires additional information to be disclosed principally in respect of Level 3 fair
value measurements and transfers to and from Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. In addition, enhanced disclosure is required concerning inputs and valuation techniques used to determine Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is
generally effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009; however, the requirements to disclose separately purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2010 (and for interim periods within such years). Early adoption is allowed. The Partnership does not anticipate any effect from this on its financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-03, Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures to provide
consistency with the new SEC rules. The ASU amends existing standards to align the reserves calculation and disclosure requirements under US GAAP with the requirements in the SEC rules. The Partnership adopted the new standards effective
December 31, 2009. The new standards are applied prospectively as a change in estimate.

|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 March 31, 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 was no cost ceiling
write-down at March 31, 2009, whereas at March 31, 2010 there was a $4,960,963 cost ceiling write-down.

In January 2009, the
SEC issued revisions to the natural gas and oil reporting disclosures, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting, Final Rule (the Final Rule). In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) updated
its oil and gas estimation and disclosure requirements to align its requirements with the SECs modernized oil and gas reporting rules. The update amends the definition of proved reserves to use the average of first-day-of-the-month prices
during the twelve months preceding the end of the reporting period, adds definitions used in estimating and disclosing proved oil and natural gas quantities and expands the disclosures required for equity-method investments. The update must be
applied prospectively as a change in accounting principle that is inseparable from a change in accounting estimate and is effective for entities with annual reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. The Partnership adopted the new
standards effective December 31, 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 or well plugging and abandonment costs, 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, 2010 and the
year ended December 31, 2009 is as follows:



|                             |  |                |         |                   |   |

|5. | 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.

##### Table of Contents

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.

The Partnership
participates in oil and gas activities through a Drilling Program Agreement (the Program). The Partnership and MD are parties to the Program. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to MD and the Partnership as follows:

|Operating costs, reporting and legal expenses, general andadministrative 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 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 $850,682 at March 31, 2010.

During the three months ended March 31,
2010, the Partnership made cash distributions to the investor partners in the amount of $824,999 as compared to $995,130 for the three months ended March 31, 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 $361,627, a 38.7% increase, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Of this increase, $90,994 and $194,236 were due to increases in the average prices of oil and gas sold, respectively. Average prices rose to $74.85
from $36.97 per bbl and to $5.92 from $4.82 per mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Also included in this increase were $8,683 and $67,714 due to increases in the volumes of oil and gas sold, respectively. The volumes sold
increased by 116 bbls and 11,429 mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. These increases in the volumes sold from 2010 to 2009 were primarily due to the curtailment of some of the
Partnerships wells during 2009.

Lease operations. Lease operating expense during the three month period ended March 31, 2010
increased to $127,269 from $104,380 due to more well repairs and workovers in the three month period ended March 31, 2010.

Production taxes. Production taxes during the three month period ended March 31, 2010 increased to $99,795 from $68,988 for the three month
period ended March 31, 2009 due to higher oil and gas revenue.

Administrative and general expense. Administrative and general
expense decreased to $41,398 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 from $57,785 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 due to decreased administrative expenses allocable to the Partnership.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 decreased
to $186,329 from $357,445 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the lower amortizable base as a result of the $4,960,963 cost ceiling writedown in 2009.

Cost ceiling write-down. There was no cost ceiling write-down at March 31, 2010. There was a $4,960,963 cost ceiling write-down at
March 31, 2009 due to 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 three months ended March 31, 2010, a 10% change in the price received for natural gas production would have had an approximate $111,000
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 March 31, 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.
