NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Mewbourne Energy Partners 01-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 23, 2001. The offering of limited and general partnership interests began June 12, 2001 as a part of an offering registered under the name Mewbourne Energy Partners 01-02 Drilling Program, (the “Program”), and concluded August 28, 2001, with total investor contributions of $15,000,000 originally being sold to 569 subscribers of which $13,513,000 were sold to 528 subscribers as general partner interests and $1,487,000 were sold to 41 subscribers as limited partner interests. During 2003, 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.

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.

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, 2010, whereas on March 31, 2009 there was a $1,667,687 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.

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:

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:

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Mewbourne Energy Partners 01-A, L.P. was formed February 23, 2001. The offering of limited and general partnership interests began June 12, 2001 and concluded August 28, 2001, with total investor contributions of $15,000,000. During 2003, 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 $113,802 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 $100,000 as compared to $243,194 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.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009:

Oil and gas revenues. As shown in the above table, total oil and gas sales decreased by $89,924, a 30.1% decline, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Of this decrease, $9,962 and $50,288 were due to decreases in the volumes of oil and gas sold by 133 bbls and 9,524 mcf, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to normal declines in production. Also, $40,539 of the decrease was due to a decline in the average price of gas sold. The average price fell to $5.28 from $6.14 per mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Those decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenue of $10,865 due to an increase in the average price of oil sold. The average price increased to $74.90 from $36.10 per bbl for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Lease operations. Lease operating expense during the three month period ended March 31, 2010 decreased to $81,638 from $93,712 due to fewer 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 decreased to $16,070 from $23,472 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 due to lower oil and gas revenue.

Administrative and general expense. Administrative and general expense decreased to $10,959 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 from $14,228 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 $20,249 from $62,856 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the lower amortizable base as a result of the $1,667,687 cost ceiling writedown in 2009.

Cost ceiling write-down. There was no cost ceiling write-down at March 31, 2010. There was a $1,667,687 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

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.

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 $20,000 impact on revenue.

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.
