(3) On September 5, 1995, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement
with Cable TV Joint Fund 11, a joint venture ("Joint Fund 11") among Cable
TV Fund 11-A, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 11-B, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 11-C, Ltd. and
Cable TV Fund 11-D, Ltd., Colorado limited partnerships managed by the
Company, to acquire from Joint Fund 11 the cable television system serving
the City of Manitowoc, Wisconsin (the "Manitowoc System"). The purchase
price is the average of three separate independent appraisals of the fair
market value of the Manitowoc System. The closing of the sale will occur,
if at all, on a date upon which the Company and the Venture mutually agree
by September 30, 1996. The closing of this transaction is contingent upon
the City of Manitowoc's approval of the transfer of the City of Manitowoc
cable television franchise and the approval of the transaction by a
majority of the limited partners of each of the four partnerships that form
Joint Fund 11. Joint Fund 11 has not yet received consent from the City of
Manitowoc to transfer the cable television franchise. Negotiations will
continue. If all conditions precedent to closing are not eventually
satisfied or waived, the Company's obligation to purchase the Manitowoc
System will terminate on
-9-
<PAGE>
September 30, 1996. The Company, as general partner of the partnerships
which form Joint Fund 11, will receive a distribution of approximately
$3,900,000 upon the closing of this transaction. The Manitowoc System
passes approximately 16,000 homes and serves approximately 10,700 basic
subscribers.
(4) On May 3, 1996, the Company entered into a letter of intent with an
unaffiliated party to sell the cable television systems serving areas in
and around Walnut Valley and Oxnard, both in the state of California, for
$104,000,000. The closing of this transaction is subject to a number of
conditions including the negotiation of definitive asset purchase
agreements and obtaining necessary governmental and other third party
consents.
(5) On April 1, 1996, Cable TV Fund 11-B, Ltd. ("Fund 11-B"), one of the
Company's managed limited partnerships, sold the cable television system
serving areas in and around Lancaster, New York to an unaffiliated third
party for $84,000,000. Upon closing, Fund 11-B repaid its indebtedness, a
sales tax liability and a $2,100,000 brokerage fee to The Jones Group,
Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The remaining proceeds
were distributed to Fund 11-B's partners. The Company, as general partner
of Fund 11-B, received a distribution of $14,006,000 related to this
transaction. Funds received in payment of the brokerage fee and the
general partner distribution were used to reduce amounts outstanding on the
Company's revolving credit facility.
(6) 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.
(7) 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 March 31, 1996 and
1995. Approximately $22,509,000 and $15,473,000 of interest expense was
paid during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
No material non-cash investing or financing transactions were recorded

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
- -------------------------------------------------
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -----------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company historically has grown by acquiring and developing cable
television systems for both itself and its managed limited partnerships,
primarily in suburban areas with attractive demographic characteristics. The
Company intends to liquidate its Company-managed limited partnerships as such
partnerships achieve their investment objectives and as opportunities for sales
of partnership cable television systems arise in the marketplace over the next
several years.
The Company is implementing a balanced strategy of acquiring cable
television systems from Company-managed limited partnerships and from third
parties. As part of this process, certain systems owned by the Company and its
managed partnerships may be sold to third parties and Company-owned systems may
be exchanged for systems owned by other cable system operators. It is the
Company's plan to cluster its cable television properties, to the extent
feasible, in geographic areas. Clustering systems should enable the Company to
obtain operating efficiencies, and it should position the Company to capitalize
on new revenue and business opportunities as the telecommunications industry
evolves. 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
institute new services as they are developed and become economically viable.
Acquisitions of cable television systems, the development of new services
and capital expenditures for system extensions and upgrades are subject to the
availability of cash generated from operations, borrowings under the Company's
$500 million revolving credit facility, debt and/or equity financing. In
addition, the Company may explore other financing options such as private equity
capital and/or the sale of non-strategic assets. There can be no assurance that
the capital resources necessary to accomplish the Company's acquisition and
development plans will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the
Company, or at all.
In conjunction with the Company's acquisition strategy, the Company has
acquired the Manassas System, the Prince Georges County System, the Reston
System and the Savannah System during 1996. The acquisition of such systems has
increased the Company's basic subscriber base by approximately 139,000 basic
subscribers to approximately 574,000 basic subscribers. In addition, these
transactions are part of the Company's strategy to cluster its cable systems.
The Manassas System, the Prince Georges County System and the Reston System are
near other Company-owned and Company-managed systems in the Washington DC area.
The Savannah System is in relative close proximity to the Company's Augusta
System. These transactions are described in detail in Note 2 of the Notes to
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Manassas System was purchased for $71,000,000. Funding was provided by
borrowings available under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Prince
Georges County System and the Reston System were acquired in exchange for three
systems that the Company purchased from managed partnerships. The $176,479,000
of capital required by this transaction was provided by borrowings available
under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Savannah System was acquired
in exchange for two Company owned cable television systems and three cable
television systems purchased from managed partnerships. The $47,500,000 of
capital required by this transaction was provided by borrowings available under
the Company's revolving credit facility.
From time to time, the Company makes loans to its managed partnerships,
although it is not required to do so. As of March 31, 1996, the Company had
advanced funds to various managed partnerships and other affiliates of the
Company totaling approximately $11,833,000, a decrease of approximately
$2,478,000 over the amount advanced at December 31, 1995. Of the total balance
of $11,833,000, an advance to Cable TV Fund
-11-
<PAGE>
14 A/B Venture ("Fund 14 A/B"), a venture between two of the Company's managed
partnerships, accounted for approximately $4,055,000, or 34%. The Company
advanced funds to Fund 14 A/B primarily to fund that venture's capital
requirements. It is anticipated that Fund 14 A/B will repay this advance in the
second quarter with borrowings from Fund 14 A/B's renegotiated credit facility.
An advance to Spacelink Fund 4, Ltd. ("Fund 4"), net of reserve, accounted for
approximately $3,312,000, or 28%, of the advance. Funds were advanced to Fund 4
to fund operations and capital expenditures as well as to repay amounts
outstanding on Fund 4's credit facility. The Company expects to recover this
advance upon the eventual liquidation of Fund 4. The Company has reserved the
portion of its advance to Fund 4 that exceeds the fair value of Fund 4's assets.
In addition, an advance to Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd. ("Fund 14-A") accounted for
approximately $2,328,000, or 20%, of the outstanding balance. It is anticipated
that Fund 14-A will repay this advance in the fourth quarter upon the sale of
its cable television system serving Turnersville, New Jersey. The remainder of
the advances represent funds for capital expansion and improvements of
properties owned by 22 partnerships where additional credit sources were not
then available to the partnerships. None of these advances are individually
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 to
its managed partnerships during 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
$15,618,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1996. Such expenditures
were principally the result of the following: (a) the upgrade and rebuild of the
cable plant in the Alexandria, Virginia and Augusta, Georgia systems; and (b)
new extension projects, drop materials, converters and various maintenance
projects in the Pima County, Arizona; Anne Arundel, Maryland; and Augusta,
Georgia systems. Estimated capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, for
the remainder of 1996 are approximately $63,000,000. Funding for such
expenditures is expected to be provided by cash generated from operations and
borrowings available under the Company's credit facility, as discussed below.
Sources of Funds
On October 31, 1995, the Company, through Jones Cable Holdings, Inc.
("JCH"), a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a $500,000,000 reducing
revolving credit facility with a group of commercial banks. This credit
facility required the transfer of a majority of the Company's cable television
properties to JCH. The entire $500,000,000 commitment is available through
March 31, 1999, at which time the commitment will be reduced quarterly with a
final maturity of December 31, 2004. As of March 31, 1996, $284,000,000 was
outstanding under this agreement. Interest on outstanding obligations ranges
from Base Rate to Base Rate plus 1/8% or LIBOR plus 5/8% to LIBOR plus 1 1/8%
based on certain leverage covenants. In addition, a commitment fee of 3/16% to
3/8% on the unused commitment is also required. The effective interest rate on
amounts outstanding at March 31, 1996 was 5.97%.
On April 1, 1996, Cable TV Fund 11-B, Ltd. ("Fund 11-B"), one of the
Company's managed limited partnerships, sold the cable television system serving
areas in and around Lancaster, New York to an unaffiliated third party for
$84,000,000. Upon closing, Fund 11-B repaid its indebtedness, a sales tax
liability and a $2,100,000 brokerage fee to The Jones Group, Ltd., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. The remaining proceeds were distributed to
Fund 11-B's partners. The Company, as general partner of Fund 11-B, received a
distribution of $14,006,000 related to this transaction. Funds received in
payment of the brokerage fee and the general partner distribution were used to
reduce amounts outstanding on the Company's revolving credit facility.
On May 3, 1996, the Company entered into a letter of intent with an
unaffiliated party to sell the cable television systems serving areas in and
around Walnut Valley and Oxnard, both in the state of California, for
$104,000,000. The closing of this transaction is subject to a number of
conditions including the negotiation of definitive asset purchase agreements and
obtaining necessary governmental and other third party consents.

<PAGE>
The Company has an effective 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 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.
The Company has sufficient sources of capital available, consisting of
cash generated from operations and available borrowings from its credit
facility, to meet its operational needs. Future acquisitions of cable
television systems are subject to the availability of additional debt and/or
equity financing as discussed above.
Regulatory Matters
As a result of rate orders issued by the FCC, cost-of-service showings
have been filed for the following Company-owned cable television systems:
Jefferson County, Colorado; Charles County, Maryland; Dale City, Virginia;
Manassas, Virginia; Pima County, Arizona; Alexandria, Virginia; and Augusta,
Georgia. The cost-of-service showings have not yet received final approval from
regulatory 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.
On January 31, 1996, Congress passed the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(the "1996 Act") which substantially revised the federal laws regulating the
Company's cable television business. The President signed the 1996 Act into law
on February 8, 1996. Among other things, the 1996 Act promotes increased
competition from the delivery of video, data and other services by local
telephone companies (also known as local exchange carriers or "LECs") and
others, permits cable television operators to provide local voice and data
communications services and deregulates the customer programming service rates
of smaller operators upon enactment and other operators in 1999. The 1996 Act
allows telephone companies to provide cable television services within their
telephone service areas operating as conventional cable systems, or "open video
systems" that afford access to other video providers. Telephone companies
offering stand-alone cable television service or cable television service in
connection with an open video system could provide substantial competition to
the Company's owned and managed systems. The 1996 Act also permits entities to
provide local telecommunications services in competition with the LECs. The
1996 Act establishes local exchange competition as a national policy by
preempting laws that prohibit competition in the local exchange and establishes
uniform requirements and standards for entry, competitive carrier
interconnection and unbundling of LEC monopoly services. One premise of the
1996 Act is that additional regulatory flexibility for LECs is necessary to
allow them to respond to competition. Depending on the degree and form of
regulatory flexibility afforded the LECs, the Company's ability to compete to
provide telephony services may be adversely affected.
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 March 31, 1996, totaled $66,987,000, an increase of $23,885,000, or
55%, over the total of $43,102,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.
This increase reflects the Company's acquisition of the following cable
television systems: the Augusta System on October 20, 1995; the Dale City
System on November 29, 1995; the Manassas System on January 10, 1996; the Prince
Georges County System on February 29, 1996; and the Reston System on February
29, 1996 (the "Acquired Systems"). Disregarding the effect of the acquisition
of the Acquired Systems, total revenues would have increased $6,906,000, or 17%.
-13-
<PAGE>
The Company's subscriber service fees increased $20,502,000, or 64%, to
$52,342,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $31,840,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995. The effect of the acquisition of the
Acquired Systems accounted for $17,474,000, or 85%, of this increase.
Disregarding the effect of the acquisition of the Acquired Systems, subscriber
service fees would have increased $3,028,000, or 10%. This increase was due
primarily to an increase in the number of basic subscribers and basic service
rate adjustments in the cable television systems owned by the Company.
The Company receives management fees generally equal to 5% of the gross
operating revenues of its managed partnerships. Management fees totaled
$5,080,000 for three months ended March 31, 1996, a decrease of $147,000, or 3%,
over the total of $5,227,000 reported for the months ended March 31, 1995. The
decrease in management fees is a result of the sale of certain managed systems
in 1995 and 1996. Disregarding the effect of the sale of managed systems,
management fees increased 8%.
In its capacity as the general partner of its managed partnerships, the
Company also receives revenues in the form of distributions upon the sale of
cable television properties owned by such partnerships. No such revenues were
recognized during the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. In
addition, The Jones Group, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, earns
brokerage fees upon the sale of managed cable television systems to third
parties. No such fees were recognized during the three month periods ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995.
The Company also operates certain non-cable subsidiaries. Such
subsidiaries include Jones Satellite Programming, Inc. ("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. Non-cable
revenue totaled $9,565,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, an
increase of $3,530,000, or 58%, over the $6,035,000 recorded for the three
months ended March 31, 1995. This increase was due primarily to an increase in
the sales of Futurex.
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 $9,008,000, or 48%, to $27,884,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $18,876,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995. The acquisition of the Acquired Systems accounted
for approximately 82% of this increase. Disregarding the effect of the
acquisition of the Acquired Systems, cable operating expense would have
increased $1,659,000, or 10%. This increase was due primarily to increases in
premium and satellite programming costs, personnel costs and property tax
expense.
Cable general and administrative expense increased $969,000, or 49%, to
$2,937,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $1,968,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995. This increase is due to the revenue increase
resulting from the acquisition of the Acquired Systems, since the allocation of
general and administrative expenses is based on revenues of owned and managed
cable television systems. Disregarding the effect of the acquisition of the
Acquired Systems, cable general and administrative expenses decreased $64,000,
or 4%. The decrease is due to effective cost controls relating to general and
administrative expense.
-14-
<PAGE>
Non-cable operating, general and administrative expense increased
$3,547,000, or 56%, to $9,932,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from
$6,385,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995. This increase is due
primarily to an increase in the expenses of Futurex.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $13,347,000, or 111%, to
$25,361,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $12,014,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995. Depreciation and amortization relating to
the Acquired Systems was primarily responsible for this increase.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased $2,986,000, or 77%, to $873,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from $3,859,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995, due primarily to the increase in depreciation and amortization expense.
The cable television industry generally measures the performance of a cable
television company in terms of cash flow or operating income before depreciation
and amortization. The value of a cable television company is often determined
using multiples of cable television system cash flow. This measure is not
intended to be a substitute or improvement upon the items disclosed on the
financial statements, rather it is included because it is an industry standard.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization increased $10,361,000, or
65%, to $26,234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $15,873,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1995. Disregarding the effect of the
acquisition of the Acquired Systems, operating income before depreciation and
amortization would have increased $1,764,000, or 12%.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense increased $5,465,000, or 57%, to $15,099,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from $9,634,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995. This increase was due to interest on the $200 million of Senior Notes
sold in March 1995 and to higher outstanding balances on the Company's revolving
credit facility. Proceeds from the $200 million Senior Notes and borrowings
under the credit facility were used in the acquisition of the Acquired Systems.
Equity in losses of affiliated entities decreased $60,000, or 6%, to
$886,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $946,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in
the net losses of the managed partnerships.
Interest income decreased to $1,026,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 from $2,924,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995, due to a
reduction in cash and cash equivalents.
Net loss increased $10,934,000 to $14,789,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 from $3,855,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995, due
primarily to the increases in depreciation and amortization expense and interest
expense.
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 general partner 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 or sales.

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 March
31, 1996, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and
cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. 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 substantially 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 December 31, 1995 (not presented herein), and, in our report
dated March 1, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement. In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1996, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it
has been derived.
