NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED Jones Intercable, Inc.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS and Subsidiaries
(1) This Form 10-Q is being filed by Jones Intercable, Inc. (the
"Company") in conformity with the SEC requirements for unaudited financial
statements and does not contain all of the necessary footnote disclosures
required for a fair presentation of the Balance Sheets, Statements of
Operations and Statements of Cash Flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, this data
includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals,
necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at August 31, 1995
and May 31, 1995 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three
months ended August 31, 1995 and 1994. Results of operations for these periods
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
(2) The Company has entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Cable
TV Fund 12-B, Ltd., a Colorado limited partnership ("Fund 12-B"), one of the
Company's managed limited partnerships that owns the cable television system
serving areas in and around Augusta, Georgia (the "Augusta System"), providing
for the sale by Fund 12-B to the Company of the Augusta System for a purchase
price of $142,618,000 in cash, subject to normal closing adjustments. The
purchase price was determined by averaging the three separate independent
appraisals of the fair market value of the Augusta System. The closing of this
transaction was contingent upon the approval of the transaction by the holders
of the majority of the limited partnership interests in Fund 12-B. Such
approval was received in September 1995. The Company expects that its
acquisition of the Augusta System will occur in October 1995. The Company, as
general partner of Fund 12-B, expects to receive a distribution from Fund 12-B
of approximately $13,205,800 upon the closing of the transaction, which will be
recorded as a reduction in the basis of the assets purchased as a result of the
Company's continuing interest in the Augusta System. The Augusta System passes
approximately 102,000 homes and serves approximately 67,000 basic subscribers.
The Augusta System is contiguous with the cable television system owned by the
Company serving areas in and around North Augusta, South Carolina (the "North
August System"). Together, the Augusta System and the North Augusta System
will, upon closing of the Company's acquisition of the Augusta System, form an
operating cluster that will serve approximately 81,700 basic subscribers and
pass approximately 125,700 homes.
(3) On May 31, 1995, the Company entered into separate asset purchase

Fund, Ltd. pursuant to which the Company intends to acquire cable television
systems serving Manassas, Manassas Park, Haymarket and portions of
unincorporated Prince William County, all in Virginia (the "Manassas System").
The total purchase price for the Manassas System is $71,000,000, subject to
normal closing adjustments. The Manassas System passes approximately 39,000
homes and serves approximately 26,000 basic subscribers, and is located
approximately 20 miles from the Company's cable television system serving
Alexandria, Virginia. The acquisition of the Manassas System is subject to a
number of conditions, including the approval of the applicable governmental
authorities to the transfer of the franchises for the Manassas System and the
consent of various other third parties. These transactions are expected to
close during 1995. The Company will pay Jones Financial Group, Ltd.
("Financial Group"), an affiliate of the Company, a fee of $896,000 upon
closing of these transactions for acting as the Company's financial advisor in
connection with these transactions. All fees payable to Financial Group are
based upon 90% of the estimated commercial rate charged by unaffiliated
brokers.
(4) On June 30, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Columbia
Associates, L.P., an unaffiliated party, to acquire the cable television
systems serving Dale City, Lake Ridge, Woodbridge, Fort Bevoir, Triangle,
Dumfries, Quatico, Accoquan and portions of Prince William County, all in the
state of Virginia. These systems serve approximately 50,000 subscribers and
pass approximately 64,100 homes. The purchase price is $123,000,000, subject
to normal closing adjustments. The acquisition of such systems is subject to a
number of conditions including the consent of governmental franchising
authorities and other regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, and other
matters. The Company will pay Financial

separate independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Carmel System.
The Carmel System passes approximately 24,400 homes and serves approximately

agreement (the "TWEAN Exchange Agreement") with Time Warner

television system operator. Pursuant to the TWEAN Exchange Agreement, the
Company will convey to TWEAN the Carmel System, the Orangeburg System and the

Pleasant, Upper Marlboro, and portions of Prince George's County, all in
Maryland (the "Prince George's County System"), and portions of Fairfax County,
Virginia (the "Reston System"). These systems serve approximately 85,000
subscribers.
The closing of the transaction contemplated by the TWEAN Exchange
Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining
necessary governmental and other third party consents. The parties intend to
complete the transaction during the first half of 1996, but there can be no
assurance that all conditions will be satisfied or waived by that time. Either

<PAGE> 9
to acquire from the Venture the cable television system serving the City of
Manitowoc, Wisconsin (the "Manitowoc System"). The purchase price is

the fair market value of the Manitowoc System. The Company, as general partner
of the partnerships which form the Venture, will receive a distribution of
approximately $3,900,000 upon the closing of this transaction. The Manitowoc
System passes approximately 15,400 homes and serves approximately 10,500 basic
subscribers. The Company expects to acquire and then to trade the Manitowoc
System, along with certain other properties, to an unaffiliated cable
television system operator during the first half of 1996, as discussed below.
On September 5, 1995, the Company entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Jones Spacelink Income Partners 87-1, L.P., a Colorado limited

On September 5, 1995, the Company entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Jones Spacelink Income/Growth Fund 1-A, Ltd., a Colorado limited
partnership managed by the Company, to acquire from that partnership the cable
television system serving the areas in and around Ripon, Wisconsin (the "Ripon
System"). The purchase price is $3,712,667, which is the average of three
separate independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Ripon System.
The Ripon System passes approximately 2,500 homes and serves approximately
2,450 basic subscribers. The Company expects to acquire and then to trade the
Ripon System, along with certain other properties, to an unaffiliated cable

On September 5, 1995, the Company entered into a second asset

On September 1, 1995, the Company entered into an asset exchange
agreement (the "Time Warner Exchange Agreement") with Time Warner Entertainment
Company, L.P. ("Time Warner"), an unaffiliated cable television operator.
Pursuant to the Time Warner Exchange Agreement, the Company will convey to Time
Warner the cable television system serving Hilo, Hawaii (the "Hilo System") and
the cable television system serving Kenosha, Wisconsin (the "Kenosha System")
as well as the Manitowoc System, the Lodi System, the Ripon System and the Lake
Geneva System. The Hilo System and the Kenosha System serve approximately

from Time Warner the cable television systems serving the communities in and
around Savannah, Georgia (the "Savannah System") and cash in the amount of
$4,000,000, subject to normal closing adjustments. Taking into account the
aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Company for the Lodi System, the
Lake Geneva System, the Ripon System and the Manitowoc System and the estimated
valuation of the Hilo System and the Kenosha System, less the $4,000,000 cash
purchase price to be paid by Time Warner to the Company, the aggregate
consideration to be paid for the Savannah System is approximately $119,195,000.

<PAGE> 10
The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Time Warner
Exchange Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including
obtaining necessary governmental and other third party consents. The parties
intend to complete the transactions during the half quarter of 1996, but there
can be no assurance that all conditions will be satisfied or waived by that
time. Either party may terminate the Time Warner Exchange Agreement if the
transactions are not completed on or before September 30, 1996. The Company
will pay Financial Group a $1,286,332 fee upon the completion of the Time
Warner Exchange Agreement as compensation to it for acting as the Company's
financial advisor.
The closings of the Company's acquisitions of the Manitowoc System,
the Lodi System, the Ripon System and the Lake Geneva System are not contingent
upon the closing of the Time Warner exchange.
(7) The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries directly own 6,225,796
ADSs of Bell Cablemedia plc. Prior to the quarter ended August 31, 1995, the
ADSs were reflected at historical cost since the securities were considered
restricted for accounting purposes. Due to certain events, including the
registration of the Company's ADSs, these securities are now classified as
unrestricted and, as a result, are reflected at their estimated fair market
value as of August 31, 1995 in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities." Since the ADSs are considered available for sale, the
unrealized holding gain is reflected as a separate component of shareholders'
investment.
(8) Net income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock and Common Stock
is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
periods. Common stock equivalents were not significant to the computation of
primary earnings (loss) per share. Conversion of the Convertible Subordinated
Debentures to Class A Common Stock was assumed for calculation of fully diluted
earnings per share and is not presented for the period in which the calculation
was anti-dilutive.
(9) For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. No amounts were paid or received
relating to income taxes during the three months ended August 31, 1995 and
1994. Approximately $12,320,000 and $11,628,000 of interest expense was paid
during the three months ended August 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. No
material non-cash investing or financing transactions were recorded during the
first three months of fiscal 1995 and 1994.
(10) On September 12, 1995, the Company filed an application with the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to change its fiscal year end from May 31 to
December 31. Subject to approval by the IRS, the Company intends to change its
fiscal year end effective December 31, 1995.
(11) Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company intends to grow by implementing a balanced strategy
directed at acquiring cable television systems from Company-managed limited
partnerships and from third parties. In addition, the Company may purchase
cable television systems from its managed partnerships, and then trade such
properties for cable television properties owned by unaffiliated parties. The
Company will attempt to cluster systems in certain markets as opportunities
arise. The Company also intends to maintain and enhance the value of its
current cable television systems through capital expenditures. Such
expenditures will include, among others, cable television plant extensions and
the upgrade and rebuild of certain systems. The Company also intends to
implement new services as they are developed and become economically viable.
Such acquisitions and capital expenditures are subject to the availability of
cash on hand, cash generated from operations, debt and/or equity financing.
In conjunction with the Company's acquisition strategy, the Company
has entered into agreements to acquire the cable television systems serving
areas in and around Augusta, Georgia (the "Augusta System"), Manassas, Virginia
(the "Manassas System"), Dale City, Virginia (the "Dale City System"), portions
of Prince George's County, Maryland (the "Prince George's County System"),
portions of Fairfax County, Virginia (the "Reston System") and Savannah,
Georgia (the "Savannah System"). The transactions to acquire the Augusta
System, the Manassas System and the Dale City System are expected to be
completed in calendar 1995. The transactions to acquire the Prince George's
County System, the Reston System and the Savannah System are expected to be
completed in the first half of calendar 1996. These transactions are
described in detail in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
The transactions described above will increase the Company's basic
subscriber base by approximately 247,000 to approximately 560,000 basic
subscribers. In addition, these transactions are part of the Company's
strategy of clustering its cable systems. The Augusta System and the Savannah
System are in relatively close proximity to the Company's North Augusta, South
Carolina cable television system. The Manassas System, the Dale City System,
the Prince George's County System and the Reston System are near the Company's
properties in the Washington/Baltimore area.
The Augusta System, the Manassas System and the Dale City System will
be purchased with cash. To acquire the Prince George's County System and the
Reston System, the Company will purchase three cable television properties (the
Carmel System, the Orangeburg System and the Tampa System) from certain of its
managed limited partnerships and then transfer such properties to an
unaffiliated party in exchange for the Prince George's County System and the
Reston System. To acquire the Savannah System, the Company will purchase four
cable television properties (the Manitowoc System, the Lodi System, the Ripon
System and the Lake Geneva System) from certain of its managed limited
partnerships and then transfer such properties, together with the Company-owned
cable television systems serving Kenosha, Wisconsin and Hilo, Hawaii, to an
unaffiliated party in exchange for the Savannah System.

The total capital required to complete the above transactions is
approximately $547,390,000. Such capital will be provided from the resources
discussed below.
From time to time, the Company has made loans to its managed limited
partnerships, although it is not required to do so. As of August 31, 1995, the
Company has advanced funds to various managed partnerships and other affiliates
of the Company totaling approximately $8,514,000, a decrease of approximately
$1,355,000 over the amount advanced at May 31, 1995. Of the total balance of
$8,514,000, an advance to Cable TV Fund 15-A Ltd., ("Fund 15-A"), one of the
Company's managed limited partnerships, accounts for approximately $4,590,000,
or 54%. The Company advanced funds to Fund 15-A primarily to fund that
partnership's capital expenditures. In November 1994, Fund 15-A completed the
refinancing of its credit facility and repaid a portion of the then-outstanding
advances. The credit facility provides liquidity to Fund 15-A, subject to
leverage covenants. It is anticipated that Fund 15-A will repay this advance
over time with borrowings available under the credit facility. The remainder
of the advances represent funds for capital expansion and improvements of
properties owned by partnerships where additional credit sources were not then
available to the partnerships none of which individually is significant. These
advances reduce the Company's available cash and its liquidity. The Company
anticipates the repayment of these advances over time. The Company does not
anticipate significant increases in the amount advanced during fiscal 1996.
These advances bear interest at rates equal to the Company's weighted average
cost of borrowing.
The Company purchased property, plant and equipment totaling
approximately $14,354,000 during the three months ended August 31, 1995. Such
expenditures were principally the result of the following: (a) the upgrade and
rebuild of the cable plant in the Alexandria, Virginia and North Augusta, South
Carolina systems; and (b) new extension projects, drop materials, converters
and various maintenance projects in the Pima County, Arizona; Anne Arundel,
Maryland and Charles County, Maryland systems. Estimated capital expenditures,
excluding acquisitions, through May 31, 1996 are approximately $26,000,000.
Funding for such expenditures is expected to be provided by cash on hand, cash
generated from operations and borrowings available under the Company's credit
facility, as discussed below.
On October 12, 1995, the Company redeemed the remaining outstanding
7.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") due 2007, at a
price equal to 101.5% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. The
total principal amount of the debentures was $43,100,000, $23,732,000 of which
were held by the Company and $19,368,000 of which were held by unaffiliated
investors. The Debentures were repurchased with cash on hand.
Sources of Funds
The Company's cash balance at August 31, 1995, was $260,134,000.
Such balance reflects the remaining cash from the investments in the Company by
Bell Canada International Inc. ("BCI") in December 1994 and the proceeds from
the Company's sale of $200 million of Senior Notes in March 1995. It is
anticipated that this cash will be used for the acquisitions discussed above.
On December 8, 1992, the Company entered into a $300,000,000 reducing
revolving credit agreement with a number of commercial banks. The amount of
borrowings available under this agreement was $300,000,000 through May 31,
1995, after which availability is reduced quarterly until expiration on
November 30, 2000. The maximum amount available will reduce 14 1/2% to
$256,500,000 during fiscal 1996. As of August 31, 1995, no amounts were
outstanding under this credit agreement. Interest on amounts outstanding under
the credit agreement range from LIBOR plus .75% to LIBOR plus 1.625% depending
upon whether certain financial ratios have been achieved. The Company is
currently renegotiating its credit arrangements to increase the maximum amount
available to $500,000,000 to provide liquidity for the acquisitions and capital
expenditures discussed above.
The Company has filed a registration statement relating to the sale
of $600 million of senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities,
subordinated debt securities and Class A Common Stock. The registration
statement is not yet effective. When effective, the Company may, from time to
time, issue securities not to exceed $600 million pursuant to this registration
statement. Proceeds would be used for general corporate purposes, which may
include acquisitions of cable television systems from managed partnerships
and/or from unaffiliated parties, refinancings of indebtedness, working
capital, capital expenditures, and repurchases and redemptions of securities.
Assuming the successful renegotiation of the Company's credit
arrangements, the Company has sufficient sources of capital available,
consisting of cash on hand, cash generated from operations and available
borrowings from the renegotiated credit facility, to complete the above
described acquisitions and meet its operational needs.

Regulatory Matters
Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act"), which became effective on
December 4, 1992. This legislation has caused significant changes to the
regulatory environment in which the cable television industry operates. The
1992 Cable Act generally imposes a greater degree of regulation of the cable
television industry. Under the 1992 Cable Act's definition of effective
competition, nearly all cable systems in the United States, including almost
all of those owned and managed by the Company, are subject to rate regulation
of basic cable services. In addition, the 1992 Cable Act allows the FCC to
regulate rates for non-basic service tiers other than premium services in
response to complaints filed by franchising authorities and/or cable
subscribers.
The Company, as a result of rate orders issued by the FCC, has filed
cost-of-service showings for the following Company-owned cable television
systems: Jefferson County, Colorado; Charles County, Maryland; Pima County,
Arizona; Alexandria, Virginia; and North Augusta, South Carolina. For these
systems, the Company anticipates no further reductions in revenues or operating
income before depreciation and amortization resulting from the FCC's rate
regulations, The cost-of-service showings have not yet received final approval
from franchising authorities, however, and there can be no assurance that the
cost-of-service showings will prevent further rate reductions until such final
approvals are received.
The FCC's rate regulations contain provisions for increasing rates
for added channels, external costs and inflation. The Company has been able to
increase rates recently in certain of its systems under such provisions. Such
increases, together with a reduction in the cost of implementing the 1992 Cable
Act compared to such costs in prior periods, are expected to cause the
Company's revenue and cash flow to increase in fiscal 1996.
Currently, there is legislation before Congress which, if enacted,
would significantly change the regulatory environment in which the cable
industry operates. Such legislation may eliminate rate regulation and allow
telephone companies and others to enter the cable television business and, in
turn, may allow cable operators into the telephone and other telecommunications
businesses. While the Company is encouraged by provisions of the legislation,
it is too early to assess the impact such legislation, if enacted, would have
on the Company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
The Company derives its revenues from four primary sources:
subscriber fees from Company-owned cable television systems, management fees
from revenues earned by managed limited partnerships, fees and distributions
payable upon the sale of cable television properties owned by managed limited
partnerships and revenues from non-cable television subsidiaries. Total
revenues for the three months ended August 31, 1995 totaled $43,258,000, an
increase of $10,830,000, or 33%, over the total of $32,428,000 for the three
months ended August 31, 1994. This increase is reflective of the Company's
acquisition of the assets of Jones Spacelink, Ltd. ("Spacelink") on December
20, 1994 and was offset, in part, by the sale of the Company's Gaston County,
North Carolina cable television system (the "Gaston System") on July 22, 1994.
Disregarding the effect of these transactions, total revenues would have
increased $2,849,000, or 9%, for the three months ended August 31, 1995.
The Company's subscriber service fees increased $5,881,000, or 23%,
to $31,294,000 for the three months ended August 31, 1995 from $25,413,000 in
the same period of 1994. The net effect of the acquisition of Spacelink's
assets and the sale of the Gaston System accounted for $3,606,000, or 61%, of
the increase in subscriber service fees. The remainder of the increase was
primarily due to increases in basic subscribers, pay per view revenue and basic
service rate adjustments.
-13-
<PAGE> 14
The Company receives management fees generally equal to 5% of the
gross operating revenues of its managed partnerships. Management fees totaled
$5,409,000 for the three months ended August 31, 1995 as compared to $4,504,000
in the same period of 1994, an increase of approximately 20%. The growth of
management fee revenue is the result of the acquisition of Spacelink's assets,
which included general partner interests in a number of managed limited
partnerships, as well as increases in operating revenues of the Company's
managed partnerships. Partnership revenues increased as a result of increases
in basic subscribers, increases in advertising sales revenue and basic service
rate adjustments. Disregarding the effect of the acquisition of Spacelink's
assets, management fees increased approximately 8 percent.
In its capacity as the general partner of its managed partnerships,
the Company also receives revenues in the form of fees and distributions upon
the sale of cable television properties owned by such partnerships. No such
revenues were received during the three months ended August 31, 1995 or 1994.
The Company also operates certain non-cable subsidiaries. Such
subsidiaries include Jones Satellite Programming ("JSP"), a distributor of
satellite programming to satellite dish owners; Jones Futurex, Inc.
("Futurex"), a manufacturer of various electronic components; and Jones
Satellite Networks, Inc. ("JSN"), a distributor of radio programming to radio
stations. Futurex and JSN were acquired as part of the acquisition of
Spacelink's assets. Non-cable revenue totaled $6,555,000 for the three months
ended August 31, 1995 compared to $2,511,000 in fiscal 1994, an increase of
161%. The acquisition of Futurex and JSN accounted for $3,811,000, or 94%, of
the increase in revenue. The remainder of the increase is due to an increase
in revenues of JSP.
Costs and Expenses
Operating, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of
costs associated with the administration of Company-owned cable television
systems, the administration of managed partnerships and the administration of
the non-cable television entities. The Company is reimbursed by its managed
partnerships for costs associated with the administration of the partnerships.
The principal administrative cost components are salaries paid to corporate and
system personnel, programming expenses, professional fees, subscriber billing
costs, data processing costs, rent for leased facilities, cable system
maintenance expenses and consumer marketing expenses.
Cable operating expenses increased $4,060,000, or 29%, to
$18,226,000 for the three months ended August 31, 1995 compared to $14,166,000
for the similar period in 1994. The acquisition of Spacelink's assets, net of
the sale of the Gaston System, accounted for $2,992,000, or 74%, of this
increase. Disregarding the effect of these transactions, cable operating
expenses would have increased $1,068,000, or 8%. This increase was due
primarily to increases in premium and satellite programming costs.
Cable general and administrative expense increased $476,000, or 31%,
to $2,034,000 for the three months ended August 31, 1995 from $1,558,000 in the
same period in 1994. The acquisition of Spacelink's assets primarily
accounted for this increase.
Non-cable operating, general and administrative expenses increased
$3,971,000, or 140%, to $6,808,000 for the three months ended August 31, 1995
compared to $2,837,000 in the same period in 1994. The acquisition of Futurex
and JSN primarily accounted for this increase.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2,565,000, or 23%,
for the three months ended August 31, 1995 totaling $13,577,000 in the current
quarter compared to $11,012,000 in 1994. This increase was due to the
acquisition of Spacelink's assets and to capital additions in fiscal 1995.
Interest expense increased $4,086,000, or 44%, from $9,282,000 in
1994 to $13,368,000 for the three months ended August 31, 1995. This increase
is due primarily to the sale of $200 million of Senior Notes on March 23, 1995.
-14-
<PAGE> 15
Equity in losses of affiliated entities increased $376,000, or 69%,
from $547,000 in 1994 to $923,000 for the three months ended August 31, 1995.
This increase is due primarily to the acquisition of Spacelink's assets, which
included an additional 13% interest in Mind Extension University, Inc. as well
as general partner interests in a number of cable television limited
partnerships.
Interest income increased $3,952,000 for the three months ended
August 31, 1995 from $1,141,000 in the same period in 1994 to $5,093,000 in the
current year. This increase was due primarily to the increase in the Company's
cash on hand during the quarter resulting from the BCI investment in December
1994 and the sale of $200 million of Senior Notes in March 1995.
The Company recognized a gain of $15,496,000 in July 1994 on the
sale of its Gaston System. No similar gains were recognized during the three
months ended August 31, 1995.
Net loss totaled $6,420,000 for the three months ended August 31,
1995. For the three months ended August 31, 1994, the Company recorded net
income of $10,293,000. This change is primarily the result of the gain
recognized on the sale of the Gaston System in July 1994.
The Company anticipates the continued recognition of operating income
prior to depreciation and amortization charges, but net losses resulting from
depreciation, amortization and interest expenses may continue in the future.
To the extent the Company recognizes liquidation distributions from its managed
partnerships and/or gains on the sale of Company-owned systems in the future,
such losses may be reduced or eliminated; however, there is no assurance as to
the timing or recognition of these distributions and sales.

Exhibit 28
REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Jones Intercable, Inc.:
We have made a review of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
of JONES INTERCABLE, INC. (a Colorado corporation) and subsidiaries as of
August 31, 1995, and the related condensed consolidated statements of
operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended August 31, 1995 and
1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists primarily of applying analytical review
procedures to the financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters. It is sub stantially less in scope than
an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Jones Intercable, Inc., and
subsidiaries as of May 31, 1995 (not presented herein), and, in our report
dated August 11, 1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement.
In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 1995, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.
