(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     GENERAL

     Maryland Cable Partners, L.P., ("MCP" or the "Partnership") began
     operations on September 30, 1994 as a result of the reorganization of
     Maryland Cable, Inc. (MCI), under Chapter 11 of the United States
     Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
     District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court).

     The Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring, operating and
     developing cable television systems.  The Partnership currently owns and
     operates a cable television system in communities generally located in the
     state of Maryland, and in and around the District of Columbia.

     CASH EQUIVALENTS

     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers all
     highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less
     to be cash equivalents.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment in existence on the reorganization date are recorded
     at appraised values.  Property and equipment additions subsequent to the
     effective date of the reorganization are recorded at cost, including all
     direct costs and certain indirect costs associated with the construction of
     cable television transmission and distribution systems, and the cost of new
     customer installations.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
     incurred and equipment replacements and betterments are capitalized.
     Property held under capital lease is stated at the present value of minimum
     lease payments.

     Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based
     on estimated useful lives as follows:  buildings, 15 years; cable systems,
     3 to 10 years; and vehicles and other, 3 to 10 years.  Property held under
     capital lease is amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter
     of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.

Notes to Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Franchise rights and goodwill are amortized on a straight-line basis over
     ten years.  Organization costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over
     five years.  The Partnership assesses the recoverability of intangible
     assets as well as the related amortization lives by determining whether the
     carrying value of the intangible assets can be recovered over the remaining
     lives through projected undiscounted future cash flows.

(1)  CONTINUED

     RECOVERABILITY OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     In 1996, the Partnership adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting
     Standards Board's statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
     Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
     Assets to be Disposed of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded
     on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are
     present and either the discounted future cash flows estimated to be
     generated by those assets or the fair market value are less then the
     assets' carrying amount.  SFAS No. 121 also addresses the accounting for
     long-lived assets expected to be disposed of.  The adoption of SFAS No. 121
     did not impact the financial position or results of operations of the
     Partnership.

     In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, the Partnership
     periodically reviews the carrying amounts of long-lived assets, franchise
     rights, going concern value, and other assets to determine whether current
     events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
     not be recoverable.  The Partnership recognizes an impairment loss when the
     sum of expected future cash flows is less then the carrying amount of an
     asset.  Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate future
     cash flows.  Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such
     estimates.

     REVENUES

     Revenues from basic and premium service are recognized when the service is
     provided. Installation revenues are recognized to the extent of direct
     selling costs incurred.  The remainder, if any, is deferred and amortized
     to income over the estimated average period over which customers are
     expected to remain connected to the cable television system.  During the
     years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, installation revenues were less
     than direct selling costs incurred.  Advance payments received from
     customers are deferred and included in accounts payable and accrued
     liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.

     INCOME TAXES

     The Partnership has not provided for income taxes since such taxes are the
     responsibility of the individual partners.

     DISCLOSURE OF CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

(4)  LONG-TERM DEBT

     The Partnership has outstanding borrowings on long-term debt arrangements
     at December 31, 1996 and 1995 as follows (in thousands):

                                                          1996        1995
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Long-term debt                                    $ 83,282      86,622
     Capital lease obligations                               32          32
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                         83,314      86,654

     Less current maturities                             83,288       3,150
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       $     26      83,504
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Amended Credit Facility provides for initial borrowings up to
     $87,172,000 in the form of two term loans, term loan A of $35,000,000 and
     term loan B of $52,172,000. Amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit
     Facility bear interest at either (i) the base rate or (ii) the London
     Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), in each case plus a margin of 2.00 percent
     to 3.25 percent. In addition, a marketing fee of .25 percent is added to
     the applicable margin. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the interest rate on
     the debt outstanding, which was calculated based on the LIBOR rate, was 7.6
     percent and 7.9 percent, respectively, for term loan A and 8.4 percent and
     8.6 percent, respectively, for term loan B. Term loan A is paid in
     quarterly installments ranging from $550,000 to $2,375,000 commencing in
     September 1995.

     The Amended Credit Facility is collateralized by all tangible and
     intangible assets of the Partnership and a pledge of all partnership
     interests in the Partnership. The Amended Credit Facility requires the
     Partnership to maintain various financial ratios related to the amount of
     outstanding indebtedness and cash flows and restricts the incurrence of
     additional indebtedness and payment of management fees. The carrying value
     of the long-term debt is considered to approximate fair value as the rates
     are variable based upon market rates.

     In connection with the acquisition of the Partnership by Jones
     Communications of Maryland, Inc. in January 1997 (note 9), both loans, plus
     accrued interest, were repaid in February 1997. Accordingly, the balance of
     both notes at December 31, 1996 is classified as current in the
     accompanying financial statements.

(5)  THE PARTNERSHIP

     The Partnership was formed on September 30, 1994, as a result of the
     reorganization of MCI, as described in further detail in note l(a) to the
     financial statements. On September 30, 1994, each partner agreed to
     contribute to the Partnership securities and other assets for which the
     fair market value would equal the partners' pro rata share of the
     Partnership. The general partner holds a 1.0 percent interest in the
     Partnership. Initially, ML Opportunity received a 4.9 percent common
     limited partnership interest in the Partnership, however, all of ML
     Opportunity's common limited partnership interest was purchased by certain
     of the holders of previously outstanding senior subordinated discount notes
     in accordance with the reorganization of the Partnership. Those discount
     noteholders who did not execute the option to purchase common limited
     partnership interests still have the opportunity to do so, and their
     economic interests are currently reflected as "Unattributed" in the
     Partnership Agreement. The remaining interests in the partnership were
     allocated 94.1 percent to the discount noteholders pro rata based on the
     outstanding principal amounts of their discount notes.

     The discount noteholders were also given the opportunity to subscribe to
     the offering of preferred limited partnership interests in an amount equal
     to such holder's pro rata share of $650,000, the aggregate value of the
     preferred limited partnership interests. Preferred limited partnership
     interests receive priority returns equal to 11.0 percent per annum,
     compounded semiannually, cumulative to the extent not paid on the specified
     dates, of the average daily balance of the adjusted capital contribution of
     each preferred limited partner. Accumulated priority returns not paid as of
     December 31, 1996 and 1995, approximate $177,000 and $93,000, respectively.
     The holders of preferred limited partnership interests do not share in the
     profit or loss of the Partnership but receive priority returns on their
     capital contributions.

     During 1995, certain of the limited partners contributed an additional
     $2,000,000 to the Partnership. Income and losses have been allocated to the
     partners of the Partnership in accordance with the terms of the partnership
     agreement.

(6)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Partnership has a management agreement with Marcus Cable Operating
     Company, L.P. ("Marcus"), an affiliated entity, whereby Marcus provides
     various general, administrative, and operating services to the Partnership.
     The management fee paid is

     4.7 percent of revenues. Pursuant to the management agreement, the
     Partnership incurred management fees of approximately $2,336,000 and
     $2,199,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Management fees payable to
     Marcus at December 31, 1996 and 1995 of approximately $13,000 and $8,000,
     respectively, have been included in accounts payable and accrued
     liabilities within the accompanying financial statements. During 1996 and
     1995, in addition to the management fee, Marcus also charged the
     Partnership approximately $14,000 and $55,000, respectively, for certain
     travel expenses associated with the management of the Partnership.

(7)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

     The Partnership sponsors a 401(k) plan for its employees whereby employees
     that qualify for participation under the plan can contribute up to 15
     percent of their salary, on a before tax basis, subject to a maximum
     contribution limit as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The
     Partnership matches participants' contributions up to a maximum of 2
     percent of a participants' salary. For the years ended December 31, 1996
     and 1995, the Partnership made contributions to the plan of approximately
     $82,000 and $75,000, respectively.


(8)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company rents pole space from various companies under agreements which
     are generally cancelable on short notice and leases office space. Lease and
     rental costs charged to expense for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
     1995 were approximately $191,000 and $291,000, respectively. The
     Partnership also has several noncancellable operating leases for office
     space and capital leases for office equipment. Future minimum lease
     payments under these operating leases and capital lease payments at
     December 31, 1996 are $200,000, $39,000, $12,000, and $5,000 in 1997, 1998,
     1999, and 2000, respectively.

     In October 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer Protection
     and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act"). During May 1993,
     pursuant to authority granted to it under the 1992 Cable Act, the Federal
     Communications Commission ("FCC") issued its rate regulation rules which
     became effective September 1, 1993. These rate regulation rules required
     certain cable systems in franchise areas which receive certification and
     are not subject to effective competition, as defined, to set rates for
     basic and cable programming services, as well as related equipment and
     installations, pursuant to general cost-of-service standards or FCC
     prescribed benchmarks. These FCC benchmarks were based on an average 10
     percent competitive differential between competitive and non-competitive
     systems. Effective September 1, 1993, regulated cable systems not electing
     cost-of-service were required to reduce rates to the higher of the
     prescribed benchmarks or rates that were 10 percent below those in effect
     on September 1, 1992.

     In February 1994, the FCC announced further changes in its rate regulation
     rules and announced its interim cost-of-service standards. In connection
     with these changes, the FCC issued revised benchmark formulas, based on a
     revised competitive differential of 17 percent, which became effective on
     May 15, 1994 or if certain conditions were met, on July 14, 1994. Regulated
     cable systems were required to reduce rates to the higher of the new FCC
     prescribed benchmarks or rates that were 17 percent below those in effect
     on September 1, 1992.

(8)  CONTINUED

     On February 1, 1996 Congress passed S.652, "The Telecommunications Act of
     1996" (the "Act"), which was subsequently signed into law on February 8,
     1996. This new law will alter federal, state and local laws and regulations
     for telecommunications providers and services, including the Company. There
     are numerous rulemakings to be undertaken by the FCC which will interpret
     and implement the Act. It is not possible at this time to predict the
     outcome of such rulemakings. Several aspects of the Act impact cable
     television, including the elimination of regulation of the cable
     programming service tier as of March 31, 1999.

     The Partnership believes that it has complied with all provisions of the
     1992 Cable Act, including the rate setting provisions promulgated by the
     FCC. However, in jurisdictions which have chosen not to certify, refunds
     covering a one-year period of basic service may be ordered upon
     certification if the Partnership is unable to justify its rates. The amount
     of refund liability, if any, to which the Partnership could be subject in
     the event that these systems' rates are successfully challenged by
     franchising authorities is not currently estimable.
     
     Franchising authorities in various communities in which the Partnership
     operates its cable television system have initiated basic service rate
     regulation pursuant to Section 623 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
     amended (the "Communications Act"), and corresponding regulations of the
     FCC. Complaints have been filed with the FCC by various subscribers and
     franchising authorities pursuant to Section 623 of the Communications Act
     and corresponding FCC regulations challenging the reasonableness of the
     Partnership's rate for its cable programming service tier. The prior owner
     of the Cable television system, MultiVision Cable TV, and the Partnership
     have submitted rate justifications to these franchising authorities and
     filed responses to the rate complaints with the FCC. Management of the
     Partnership and its legal counsel believe that the outcome of the local
     rate proceedings and the rate complaints at the FCC cannot be predicted at
     this time.


(9)  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On January 31, 1997, Jones Communications of Maryland, Inc., a subsidiary
     of Jones Intercable, Inc., acquired substantially all of the assets and
     liabilities of the Partnership

     for a purchase price of $235 million. In connection with the terms of the
     purchase agreement, the loans described in note 4 were repaid in full in
     February 1997.

                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


       On January 31, 1997, Jones Intercable, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
"Company"), pursuant to an agreement with Maryland Cable Partners, L.P., an
unaffiliated party, purchased the cable television system serving the
communities of Berwyn Heights, Bladensburg, Bowie, Brentwood, Cheverly, College
Park, Colmar Manor, Cottage City, Edmonston, Glenarden, Greenbelt, Hyattsville,
Landover Hills, Laurel, Mt. Rainer, New Carrollton, North Brentwood, Riverdale,
Takoma Park, University Park and portions of South Prince Georges County, all in
the State of Maryland (the "North Prince Georges County System").  The purchase
price was $231,367,000.  The purchase of the North Prince Georges County System
was funded by borrowings under JCH's revolving credit facility.  The Company
paid Jones Financial Group, Ltd. ("Financial Group") a fee of $2,115,000 upon
closing of this transaction for acting as the Company's financial advisor in
connection with this transaction.  All fees paid to Financial Group by the
Company are based upon 90% of the estimated commercial rate charged by
unaffiliated financial advisors. The North Prince Georges County System is
contiguous to the Company's South Prince Georges County System.  The acquisition
of the North Prince Georges County System allows the Company to serve all
160,000 subscribers in Prince Georges County and brings the Company's owned and
managed subscriber count in the Washington, D.C. area to approximately 400,000
subscribers.

       The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects the
acquisition of the North Prince Georges County System as if the transaction had
occurred as of December 31, 1996.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 reflects the acquisition of the
North Prince Georges County System, as well as the acquisition of the cable
television systems serving areas in and around Manassas, Virginia (the "Manassas
System"), South Prince Georges County, Maryland (the "Prince Georges County
System"), Reston, Virginia (the "Reston System"), Savannah, Georgia (the
"Savannah System"), the sale of Jones Galactic Radio, Inc. and the sale of Jones
Satellite Programming, Inc.'s assets as if the transactions had occurred on
January 1, 1996.

       The capital required to complete the acquisition of the North Prince
Georges County System was provided by JCH's Revolving Credit Facility.

       The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements.  The
Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations is based on historical data and may
not be indicative of actual results obtained due to these transactions.

                          NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1)  The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects the acquisition
     of the North Prince Georges County System as if the transaction had
     occurred as of December 31, 1996.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of
     Operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 reflects the acquisition of
     the Savannah System, as well as the acquisition of the cable television
     systems serving areas in and around Manassas, Virginia (the "Manassas
     System"), South Prince Georges County, Maryland (the "Prince Georges County
     System") and Reston, Virginia (the "Reston System"), Savannah, Georgia (the
     "Savannah System"), the sale of Jones Galactic Radio, Inc. and the sale of
     the assets of Jones Satellite Programming, Inc., as if the transactions had
     occurred on January 1, 1996.

(2)  The basis for the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations
     is the historical financials of the Company, the Savannah System, the South
     Prince Georges County System, the Reston System and the Manassas System.
     The depreciation and amortization of the acquired systems has been adjusted
     to reflect the Company's basis in the assets.  Interest expense has been
     adjusted as a result of changes in debt balances due to the above
     transactions.  In addition, management fee revenue has been reduced to
     reflect the sale of certain partnership systems in connection with the
     above acquisitions.
