NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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 November 16, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.

Mewbourne Energy Partners 07-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 March 1, 2007. The offering of limited and general partner interests began May 1, 2007 as a part of a private placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as a part of the Mewbourne Energy Partners 07 Drilling Program, (the “Program”), and concluded August 13, 2007 with total investor contributions of $70,000,000 originally being sold to accredited investors, of which $65,710,000 were sold to accredited investors as general partner interests and $4,290,000 were sold to accredited investors as limited partner interests. During 2009, 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 September 30, 2009, all capitalized costs were subject to amortization, while at September 30, 2008, approximately $3.1 million 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 $13,601,516 at March 31, 2009 but none at June 30, 2009 or September 30, 2009. There was a cost ceiling write-down of $8,077,590 at September 30, 2008 but none at March 31, 2008 or June 30, 2008.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008 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. 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. The Partnership will include the management fee as part of the full cost pool pursuant to 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.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Mewbourne Energy Partners 07-A, L.P. (“the Partnership”) was formed March 1, 2007. The offering of limited and general partnership interests began May 1, 2007 and concluded August 13, 2007, with total investor contributions of $70,000,000. During 2009, all general partner equity interests were converted to limited partner equity interests.

The Registrant owns fractional working interests in developmental oil and gas prospects, which has resulted in participation in the drilling of oil and gas wells. At September 30, 2009, the Registrant owned working interests in one hundred thirteen producing wells.

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 $2,765,644 at September 30, 2009.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Partnership made cash distributions to the investor partners in the amount of $12,400,000 as compared to $14,375,001 for the nine months ended September 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.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008:

Oil and gas revenues. As shown in the above table, total oil and gas sales fell by $7,893,035, a 73.7 % decrease, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Of this decrease, $1,591,397 and $4,047,991 were due to decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold, respectively. Average prices fell to $64.60 from $115.09 per bbl and to $3.63 from $8.46 per mcf for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008. In addition, $1,036,943 and $1,216,704 were due to decreases in the volumes of oil and gas sold by 16,051 bbls of oil and 335,492 mcf of gas. The decrease in volumes sold was primarily due to normal declines in production, in which some wells was substantial.

Lease operations. Lease operating expense during the three month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased to $283,846 from $411,177 due to fewer well repairs and workovers in the three month period ended September 30, 2009.

Production taxes. Production taxes during the three month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased to $143,975 from $737,505 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 due to lower revenue.

Administrative and general expense. Administrative and general expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased to $18,265 from $297,420 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The overall decrease was due to decreased administrative expenses allocable to the Partnership for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 and lower general expenses and credits for reporting costs.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased to $758,139 from $2,728,509 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 due to a lower amortizable base at September 30, 2009. The reduced amortizable base was due to cost ceiling write-downs of $13,601,516 at March 31, 2009 and $8,077,590 at September 30, 2008.

Results of Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008:

Oil and gas revenues. As shown in the above table, total oil and gas sales fell by $12,586,002, a 55.8% decrease, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Of this decrease, $3,602,681 and $8,661,193 were due to decreases in the average prices of oil and gas sold, respectively. Average prices fell to $50.20 from $114.11 per bbl and to $4.26 from $9.20 per mcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In addition, $196,566 and $125,562 were due to decreases in the volumes of oil and gas sold by 3,916 bbls of oil and 29,450 mcf of gas. The decrease in volumes sold was primarily due to normal declines in production.

Lease operations. Lease operating expense during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 increased to $897,606 from $623,822 due to fewer well repairs and workovers in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

Production taxes. Production taxes during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased to $565,361 from $1,563,205 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 due to lower revenue.

Administrative and general expense. Administrative and general expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased to $473,841 from $522,784 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. The overall decrease was due to decreased administrative expenses allocable to the Partnership for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and lower general expenses and credits for reporting costs.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased to $3,177,490 from $5,526,830 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 due to a lower amortizable base at September 30, 2009. The reduced amortizable base was due to cost ceiling write-downs of $13,601,516 at March 31, 2009 and $8,077,590 at September 30, 2008.

Cost ceiling write-down. There was a cost ceiling write-down of $13,601,516 at March 31, 2009 but none at June 30, 2009 or September 30, 2009. There was a cost ceiling write-down of $8,077,590 at September 30, 2008 but none at March 31, 2008 or June 30, 2008. The write-downs were the result of lower oil and gas prices on those dates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting standards codification and the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles. The accounting standards codification is intended to be the source of authoritative US GAAP and reporting standards as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Its primary purpose is to improve clarity and use of existing standards by grouping authoritative literature under common topics. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Effective July 1, 2009, the Partnership will describe the authoritative guidance used within the footnotes but will cease using numerical references. The accounting standards codification does not change or alter existing US GAAP, and there is no expected impact on the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. In April 2009, the FASB issued a staff position requiring fair value disclosures in both interim as well as annual financial statements in order to provide more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial position and results of operations.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets. The guidance requires additional disclosures for transfers of financial assets and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Partnership does not anticipate any impact of the guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

Modernization of Natural Gas and Oil Reporting. 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 addition to changing the definition and disclosure requirements for natural gas and oil reserves, the Final Rule changes the requirements for determining quantities of natural gas and oil reserves. The Final Rule also changes certain accounting requirements under the full cost method of accounting for natural gas and oil activities. The amendments are designed to modernize the requirements for the determination of natural gas and oil reserves, aligning them with current practices and updating them for changes in technology. The Final Rule is effective for annual reports on Form 10-K for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. The Partnership currently is assessing the impact of adoption but does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2009, a 10% change in the price received for natural gas production would have had an approximate $735,000 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, 2008 annual report on internal control over financial reporting, and for the quarter ended September 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.
