PART I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
THE PARTNERSHIP. Cable TV Fund 12-C, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
Colorado limited partnership that was formed pursuant to the public offering of
limited partnership interests in the Cable TV Fund 12 Limited Partnership
Program (the "Program"), which was sponsored by Jones Intercable, Inc. (the
"General Partner"). Cable TV Fund 12-A, Ltd. ("Fund 12-A"), Cable TV Fund
12-B, Ltd. ("Fund 12-B") and Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd. ("Fund 12-D") are the
other partnerships that were formed pursuant to the Program. In 1986, the
Partnership, Fund 12-B and Fund 12-D formed a general partnership known as
Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture"), in which the Partnership owns a
15 percent interest, Fund 12-B owns a 9 percent interest and Fund 12-D owns a
76 percent interest. The Partnership and the Venture were formed for the
purpose of acquiring and operating cable television systems.
The Partnership does not directly own any cable television systems. The
Venture owns the cable television systems serving Palmdale, Lancaster and
Rancho Vista and the military installation of Edwards Airforce Base, all in
California (the "Palmdale/Lancaster System"); Albuquerque, New Mexico (the
"Albuquerque System") and Tampa, Florida (the "Tampa System"). See Item 2.
The Palmdale/Lancaster System, Albuquerque System and Tampa System may
collectively be referred to as the "Systems."
CABLE TELEVISION SERVICES. The Systems offer to their subscribers various
types of programming, which include basic service, tier service, premium
service, pay-per-view programs and packages including several of these services
at combined rates.
Basic cable television service usually consists of signals of all four
national television networks, various independent and educational television
stations (both VHF and UHF) and certain signals received from satellites.
Basic service also usually includes programs originated locally by the system,
which may consist of music, news, weather reports, stock market and financial
information and live or videotaped programs of a public service or
entertainment nature. FM radio signals are also frequently distributed to
subscribers as part of the basic service.
The Systems offer tier services on an optional basis to their subscribers.
A tier generally includes most of the cable networks such as Entertainment and
Sports Programming Network (ESPN), Cable News Network (CNN), Turner Network
Television (TNT), Family Channel, Discovery and others, and the cable
television operators buy tier programming from these networks. The Systems
also offer a package that includes the basic service channels and the tier
services.
The Systems also offer premium services to their subscribers, which consist
of feature films, sporting events and other special features that are presented
without commercial interruption. The cable television operators buy premium
programming from suppliers such as HBO, Showtime, Cinemax or others at a cost
based on the number of subscribers the cable operator serves. Premium service
programming usually is significantly more expensive than the basic service or
tier service programming, and consequently cable operators price premium
service separately when sold to subscribers.
The Systems also offer to subscribers pay-per-view programming.
Pay-per-view is a service that allows subscribers to receive single programs,
frequently consisting of motion pictures that have recently completed their
theatrical exhibitions and major sporting events, and to pay for such service
on a program-by-program basis.
REVENUES. Monthly service fees for basic, tier and premium services
constitute the major source of revenue for the Systems. In addition,
advertising sales are becoming a significant source of revenues for the
Systems. As a result of the adoption by the FCC of new rules under the Cable
Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable
Act"), and several rate regulation orders, the Systems' rate structures for
cable programming services and equipment have been revised. See Regulation and
Legislation. At December 31, 1994, the Systems' monthly basic service rates
ranged from $7.95 to $14.25, monthly basic and
2
<PAGE> 3
tier ("basic plus") service rates ranged from $15.00 to $21.77 and monthly
premium services ranged from $3.00 to $10.95 per premium service. Charges for
additional outlets have been eliminated, and charges for remote controls and
converters have been "unbundled" from the programming service rates. In
addition, the Partnership earns revenues from the Systems' pay-per-view
programs and advertising fees. Related charges may include a nonrecurring
installation fee that ranges from $1.99 to $50.00; however, from time to time
the Systems have followed the common industry practice of reducing or waiving
the installation fee during promotional periods. Commercial subscribers such
as hotels, motels and hospitals are charged a nonrecurring connection fee that
usually covers the cost of installation. Except under the terms of certain
contracts with commercial subscribers and residential apartment and condominium
complexes, the subscribers are free to discontinue the service at any time
without penalty. For the year ended December 31, 1994, of the total fees
received by the Systems, basic service and tier service fees accounted for
approximately 62% of total revenues, premium service fees accounted for
approximately 16% of total revenues, pay-per-view fees were approximately 3% of
total revenues, advertising fees were approximately 7% of total revenues and
the remaining 12% of total revenues came principally from equipment rentals,
installation fees and program guide sales. The Partnership is dependent upon
the timely receipt of service fees to provide for maintenance and replacement
of plant and equipment, current operating expenses and other costs of the
Systems.
The Partnership's business consists of providing cable television services
to a large number of customers, the loss of any one of which would have no
material effect on the Partnership's business. Each of the Systems has had
some subscribers who later terminated the service. Terminations occur
primarily because people move to another home or to another city. In other
cases, people terminate on a seasonal basis or because they no longer can
afford or are dissatisfied with the service. The amount of past due accounts
in the Systems is not significant. The General Partner's policy with regard to
past due accounts is basically one of disconnecting service before a past due
account becomes material.
The Partnership does not depend to any material extent on the availability
of raw materials; it carries no significant amounts of inventory and it has no
material backlog of customer orders. The Partnership has no employees because
all properties are managed by employees of the General Partner. The General
Partner has engaged in research and development activities relating to the
provision of new services but the amount of the Partnership's funds expended
for such research and development has never been material.
Compliance with Federal, state and local provisions that have been enacted
or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment has had no material
effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the
Partnership.
FRANCHISES. The Systems are constructed and operated under non-exclusive,
fixed-term franchises or other types of operating authorities (referred to
collectively herein as "franchises") granted by local governmental authorities.
The Systems' franchises require that franchise fees ranging from 3% of basic
and installation revenues to 5% of gross revenues of the cable system be paid
to the governmental authority that granted the franchise, that certain channels
be dedicated to municipal use, that municipal facilities, hospitals and schools
be provided cable service free of charge and that any new cable plant be
substantially constructed within specific periods. (See Item 2 for a range of
franchise expiration dates of the Systems.)
The responsibility for franchising of cable television systems generally is
left to state and local authorities. There are, however, several provisions in
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, that govern the terms and
conditions under which cable television systems provide service, including the
standards applicable to cable television operators seeking renewal of a cable
television franchise. In addition, the 1992 Cable Act also made several
procedural changes to the process under which a cable operator seeks to enforce
its renewal rights which could make it easier in some cases for a franchising
authority to deny renewal. Generally, the franchising authority can finally
decide not to renew a franchise only if it finds that the cable operator has
not substantially complied with the material terms of the franchise, has not
provided reasonable service in light of the community's needs, does not have
the financial, legal and technical ability to provide the services being
proposed for the future, or has not presented a reasonable proposal for future
service. A final decision of non-renewal by the franchising
3
<PAGE> 4
authority is appealable in court. The General Partner and its affiliates
recently have experienced lengthy negotiations with some franchising
authorities for the granting of franchise renewals and transfers. Some of the
issues involved in recent renewal negotiations include rate reregulation,
customer service standards, cable plant upgrade or replacement and shorter
terms of franchise agreements. The inability of the Partnership to renew a
franchise, or lengthy negotiations or litigation involving the renewal process
could have an adverse impact on the business of the Partnership.
COMPETITION. Cable television systems currently experience competition
from several sources, but two technologies, Multichannel Multipoint
Distribution Service ("MMDS") systems, commonly called wireless cable systems,
and Direct Broadcast Satellite ("DBS") systems, which distribute programming to
home satellite dishes, currently pose the greatest potential threat to the
cable television industry.
MMDS systems will likely focus on providing service to residents of rural
areas that are not served by cable television systems, but providers of
programming via MMDS systems will generally have the potential to compete
directly with cable television systems in urban areas as well, and in some
areas of the country, MMDS systems are now in direct competition with cable
television systems. To date, the Partnership has not lost a significant number
of subscribers, nor a significant amount of revenue, to MMDS operators
competing with its cable television systems.
DBS operators deliver premium channel services and specialized programming
to subscribers by high-powered DBS satellites on a wide-scale basis, and two
major companies began operations in 1994. Subscribers are able to receive DBS
services virtually anywhere in the United States with a rooftop or wall-mounted
antenna. In some instances, DBS systems may serve as a complement to cable
television operations by enabling cable television operators to offer
additional channels of programming without the construction of additional cable
plant. DBS companies use video compression technology to increase the channel
capacity of their satellite systems to provide a wide variety of program
services that are competitive with those of cable television systems.
Cable television systems also compete with broadcast television, private
cable television systems known as Master Antenna Television ("MATV"),
Satellite Master Antenna Television ("SMATV") and Television Receive-Only Earth
Stations ("TVRO"). MATV and SMATV generally serve multi-unit dwellings such as
condominiums, apartment complexes and private residential communities, and
TVROs are satellite receiving antenna dishes that are used by "backyard users."
There is also potential competition from an emerging technology, Local
Multipoint Distribution Service ("LMDS"). When it is authorized for service,
the LMDS, sometimes referred to as cellular television, could have the
capability of delivering approximately 50 channels, or if two systems were
combined 100 channels, of video programming to a subscriber's home, which
capacity could be increased by using video compression technology. The General
Partner believes that there are not any current fully operational LMDS systems.
Although the Systems have not yet encountered competition from a telephone
company entering into the business of providing video services to subscribers,
the Systems could potentially face competition from telephone companies doing
so. A Federal cross-ownership restriction has historically limited entry into
the cable television business by potentially strong competitors such as
telephone companies. This restriction, which is contained in the 1984 Cable
Act, has generally prohibited telephone companies from owning or operating
cable television systems within their own telephone service areas, but several
recent court decisions have eliminated this restriction. In addition, the FCC
is authorizing telephone companies to provide video dialtone service within
their service areas. Legislation is also pending in Congress that would
permit telephone companies to provide video programming thorough separate
subsidiaries. The General Partner cannot predict at this time to what extent
current restrictions will be modified to permit telephone companies to provide
cable television services within their own service areas in competition with
cable television systems. See Regulation and Legislation, Ownership and Market
Structure for a description of the potential participation of the telephone
industry in the delivery of cable television services. Entry into the market
by telephone companies as direct competitors of the Systems could
4
<PAGE> 5
adversely impact the profitability of the Systems. If a telephone company were
to become a direct competitor of the Venture in an area served by a Venture
System, the Venture could be at a competitive disadvantage because of the
relative financial strength of a telephone company compared to the Venture.
Depending on a number of factors, such competition could also result in cable
television systems providing the same types of services now provided by the
telephone industry.
The FCC has established a new wireless telecommunications service known as
Personal Communications Service ("PCS"). It is envisioned that PCS would
provide portable non-vehicular mobile communications services similar to that
available from cellular telephone companies, but at a lower cost. PCS would be
delivered by placing numerous microcells in a particular area to be covered,
accessible to both residential and business customers. Because of the need to
link the many microcells necessary to deliver this service economically, many
parties are investigating integration of PCS with cable television operations.
Several cable television multiple systems operators and others, including
affiliates of the General Partner, hold or have requested experimental licenses
from the FCC to test PCS technology. The FCC has established spectrum
auctioning procedures for PCS licenses and the licenses are being auctioned in
a series of auction events.
Cable television franchises are not exclusive, so that more than one cable
television system may be built in the same area (known as an "overbuild"), with
potential loss of revenues to the operator of the original cable television
system. The Systems currently face no direct competition from other cable
television operators.
COMPETITION FOR SUBSCRIBERS IN THE SYSTEMS. Following is a summary of
current competition from DBS, MMDS, SMATV and TVRO operators in the Systems'
franchise areas:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Albuquerque System There is one MMDS operator who has not as yet launched, but is
believed to be in the position to launch, a 15 channel MMDS
service in the system's service area. There are two SMATV
operators that provide minimal competition. One operator serves
about 2,000 residential and mobile home park units, and the
second serves 3 apartment complexes of approximately 1,000 units.
Albuquerque was a test market for DBS, and approximately 100
customers have been lost to DBS.
Palmdale/Lancaster System There are no MMDS operators in the system's service area. There
are 6 SMATV operators that service 7,000 units and 8 TVRO
operators that provide moderate competition. There are two DBS
operators that are marketing aggressively; however, at this time
they do not provide significant competition.
Tampa System There is one MMDS operator, a few SMATV operators that primarily
serve multi-unit dwellings and several TVRO dealers in the Tampa
System's service area. These operators provide minimal
competition. DBS marketing has begun in the Tampa System's
service area but provides minimal competition at this time.
</TABLE>
REGULATION AND LEGISLATION. The cable television industry is regulated
through a combination of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), some
state governments, and most local governments. In addition, the Copyright Act
of 1976 imposes copyright liability on all cable television systems. Cable
television operations are subject to local regulation insofar as systems
operate under franchises granted by local authorities.
Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. On
October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act"), which
5
<PAGE> 6
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 allows for a greater degree of
regulation of the cable television industry. Under the 1992 Cable Act's
definition of effective competition, nearly all cable television systems in the
United States, including those owned and managed by the General Partner, 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. In April 1993, the FCC adopted
regulations governing rates for basic and non-basic services. The FCC's rules
became effective on September 1, 1993.
In compliance with these rules, the General Partner reduced rates charged
for certain regulated services effective September 1, 1993. These reductions
resulted in some decrease in revenues and operating income before depreciation
and amortization; however, the decrease was not as severe as originally
anticipated. The General Partner has undertaken actions to mitigate a portion
of these reductions primarily through (a) new service offerings in some
systems, (b) product re-marketing and re-packaging and (c) marketing efforts
directed at non-subscribers.
On February 22, 1994, however, the FCC adopted several additional rate
orders including an order which revised its earlier-announced regulatory
scheme with respect to rates. The FCC's new regulations generally require rate
reductions, absent a successful cost-of-service showing, of 17% of September
30, 1992 rates, adjusted for inflation, channel modifications, equipment costs,
and increases in programming costs. However, the FCC held rate reductions in
abeyance in certain systems. The new regulations became effective on May 15,
1994, but operators could elect to defer rate reductions to July 14, 1994, so
long as they made no changes in their rates and did not restructure service
offerings between May 15 and July 14.
On February 22, 1994, the FCC also adopted interim cost-of-service
regulations. Rate reductions will not be required where it is successfully
demonstrated that rates for basic and other regulated programming services are
justified and reasonable using cost-of-service standards. The FCC established
an interim industry-wide 11.25% permitted rate of return, and requested
comments on whether this standard and other interim cost-of-service standards
should be made permanent. The FCC also established a presumption that
acquisition costs above a system's book value should be excluded from the rate
base, but the FCC will consider individual showings to rebut this presumption.
The need for special rate relief will also be considered by the FCC if an
operator demonstrates that the rates set by a cost-of-service proceeding would
constitute confiscation of investment, and that, absent a higher rate, the
return necessary to operate and to attract investment could not be maintained.
The FCC will establish a uniform system of accounts for operators that elect
cost-of-service rate regulation, and the FCC has adopted affiliate transaction
regulations. After a rate has been set pursuant to a cost-of-service showing,
rate increases for regulated services will be indexed for inflation, and
operators will also be permitted to increase rates in response to increases in
costs beyond their control, such as taxes and increased programming costs.
After analyzing the effects of the two methods of rate regulation, the
Venture elected to file cost-of-service showings in all of its systems. The
General Partner anticipates no further reduction in revenues or operating
income before depreciation and amortization resulting from the FCC's rate
regulations. At this time, the regulatory authorities have not aproved the
cost-of-service showings and there can be no assurance that the Venture's
cost-of-service showings will prevent further rate reductions until such final
approval is received.
Among other issues addressed by the FCC in its February rate orders was the
treatment of packages of a la carte channels. The FCC in its rate regulations
adopted April 1, 1993, exempted from rate regulation the price of packages of a
la carte channels upon the fulfillment of certain conditions. On November 10,
1994, the FCC reversed its policy regarding rate regulation of packages of a la
carte services. A la carte services that are offered in a package will now be
subject to rate regulation by the FCC, although the FCC indicated that it
cannot envision circumstances in which any price for a collective offering of
premium channels that have traditionally been offered on a per-channel basis
would be found to be unreasonable.
On November 10, 1994, the FCC also announced a revision to its regulations
governing the manner in which cable operators may charge subscribers for new
cable programming services. In addition to the present
6
<PAGE> 7
formula for calculating the permissible rate for new services, the FCC
instituted a three-year flat fee mark-up plan for charges relating to new
channels of cable programming services. Commencing on January 1, 1995,
operators may charge for new channels of cable programming services added after
May 14, 1994 at a rate of up to 20 cents per channel, but may not make
adjustments to monthly rates totaling more than $1.20 plus an additional 30
cents for programming license fees per subscriber over the first two years of
the three-year period for these new services. Operators may charge an
additional 20 cents in the third year only for channels added in that year plus
the costs for the programming. Operators electing to use the 20 cent per
channel adjustment may not also take a 7.5% mark-up on programming cost
increases, which is permitted under the FCC's current rate regulations. The
FCC has requested further comment as to whether cable operators should continue
to receive the 7.5% mark-up on increases in license fees on existing
programming services.
The FCC also announced that it will permit operators to offer a "new
product tier" ("NPT"). Operators will be able to price this tier as they elect
so long as, among other conditions, other channels that are subject to rate
regulation are priced in conformity with applicable regulations and operators
do not remove programming services from existing tiers and offer them on the
NPT.
There have been several lawsuits filed by cable operators and programmers
in Federal court challenging various aspects of the 1992 Cable Act, including
provisions relating to mandatory broadcast signal carriage, retransmission
consent, access to cable programming, rate regulations, commercial leased
channels and public access channels. On April 8, 1993, a three-judge Federal
district court panel issued a decision upholding the constitutionality of the
mandatory signal carriage requirements of the 1992 Cable Act. That decision
was appealed directly to the United States Supreme Court. The United States
Supreme Court vacated the lower court decision on June 27, 1994 and remanded
the case to the district court for further development of a factual record.
The Supreme Court's majority determined that the must-carry rules were content
neutral, but that it was not yet proven that the rules were needed to preserve
the economic health of the broadcasting industry. In the interim, the
must-carry rules will remain in place during the pendency of the proceedings in
district court. In 1993, a Federal district court for the District of Columbia
upheld provisions of the 1992 Cable Act concerning rate regulation,
retransmission consent, restrictions on vertically integrated cable television
operators and programmers, mandatory carriage of programming on commercial
leased channels and public, educational and governmental access channels and
the exemption for municipalities from civil damage liability arising out of
local regulation of cable services. The 1992 Cable Act's provisions providing
for multiple ownership limits for cable operators and advance notice of free
previews for certain programming services have been found unconstitutional. In
November 1993, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
held that the FCC's regulations implemented pursuant to Section 10 of the 1992
Cable Act, which permit cable operators to ban indecent programming on public,
educational or governmental access channels or leased access channels, were
unconstitutional, but the court has agreed to reconsider its decision. All of
these decisions construing provisions of the 1992 Cable Act and the FCC's
implementing regulations have been or are expected to be appealed.
Ownership and Market Structure. The FCC rules and Federal law generally
prohibit the direct or indirect common ownership, operation, control or
interest in a cable television system, on the one hand, and a local television
broadcast station whose television signal reaches any portion of the community
served by the cable television system, on the other hand. The FCC recently
lifted its ban on the cross-ownership of cable television systems by broadcast
networks. The FCC revised its regulations to permit broadcast networks to
acquire cable television systems serving up to 10% of the homes passed in the
nation, and up to 50% of the homes passed in a local market. Neither the
Partnership nor the General Partner has any direct or indirect ownership,
operation, control or interest in a television broadcast station, or a
telephone company, and they are thus presently unaffected by the
cross-ownership rules.
The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act") and FCC
regulations generally prohibit the common operation of a cable television
system and a telephone company within the same service area. Until recently, a
provision of a Federal court antitrust consent decree also prohibited the
regional Bell operating companies ("RBOCs") from engaging in cable television
operations. This prohibition was recently removed when the court retaining
jurisdiction over the consent decree ruled that the RBOCs could provide
information services
7
<PAGE> 8
over their facilities. This decision permits the RBOCs to acquire or construct
cable television systems outside of their own service areas.
The 1984 Cable Act prohibited local exchange carriers, including the RBOCs,
from providing video programming directly to subscribers within their local
exchange telephone service areas, except in rural areas or by specific waiver
of FCC rules. Several Federal district courts have struck down the 1984 Cable
Act's telco/cross-ownership provision as facially invalid and inconsistent with
the First Amendment. The United States Courts of Appeals for the Fourth and
the Ninth Circuits have upheld the appeals of two of these district court
decisions, and the United States Justice Department is expected to request the
United States Supreme Court to review these two decisions. This Federal
cross-ownership rule is particularly important to the cable industry since
these telephone companies already own certain facilities needed for cable
television operation, such as poles, ducts and associated rights-of-way.
The FCC amended its rules in 1992 to permit local telephone companies to
offer "video dialtone" service for video programmers, including channel
capacity for the carriage of video programming and certain noncommon carrier
activities such as video processing, billing and collection and joint marketing
arrangements. In its video dialtone order, which was part of a comprehensive
proceeding examining whether and under what circumstances telephone companies
should be allowed to provide cable television services, including video
programming to their customers, the FCC concluded that neither the 1984 Cable
Act nor its rules apply to prohibit the interexchange carriers (i.e., long
distance telephone companies such as AT&T) from providing such services to
their customers. Additionally, the FCC also concluded that where a local
exchange carrier ("LEC") makes its facilities available on a common carrier
basis for the provision of video programming to the public, the 1984 Cable Act
does not require the LEC or its programmer customers to obtain a franchise to
provide such service. This aspect of the FCC's video dialtone order was upheld
on appeal by the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The FCC
recently issued an order reaffirming its initial decision, and this order has
been appealed. Because cable operators are required to bear the costs of
complying with local franchise requirements, including the payment of franchise
fees, the FCC's decision could place cable operators at a competitive
disadvantage vis-a-vis services offered on a common carrier basis over local
telephone company provided facilities. In its Reconsideration Order, the FCC,
among other actions, refused to require telephone companies to justify cost
allocations prior to the construction of video dialtone facilities, and
indicated that it would provide guidance on costs that must be included in
proposed video dialtone tariffs. The FCC also established dual Federal/state
jurisdiction over video dialtone services based on the origination point of the
video dialtone programming service. In a separate proceeding, the FCC has
proposed to increase the numerical limit on the population of areas qualifying
as "rural" and in which LECs can provide cable service without a FCC waiver.
On January 12, 1995, the FCC adopted a Fourth Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking in its video dialtone docket. The FCC tentatively concluded that it
should not ban telephone companies from providing their own video programming
over their video dialtone platforms in those areas in which the cable/telephone
cross-ownership rules have been found unconstitutional. The FCC requested
comments on this issue and on further refinements of its video dialtone
regulatory framework concerning, among other issues, telephone programmer
affiliation standards, the establishment of structural safeguards to prevent
cross-subsidization of video dialtone and programming activities, and the
continuation of the FCC's ban prohibiting telephone companies from acquiring
cable systems within their telephone service areas for the provision of video
dialtone services. The FCC will also consider whether a LEC offering video
dialtone service must secure a local franchise if that LEC also engages in the
provision of video programming carried on its video dialtone platform. The FCC
has also proposed to broadly interpret its authority to waive the
cable/telephone cross-ownership ban upon a showing by telephone companies that
they comply with the safeguards which the FCC establishes as a condition of
providing video programming.
A number of bills that would have permitted telephone companies to provide
cable television service within their own service areas were considered during
the last Congress, but none were adopted. These bills would have permitted the
provision of cable television service by telephone companies in their own
service areas conditioned on the establishment of safeguards to prevent
cross-subsidization between telephone and cable television operations and the
provision of telecommunication services by cable television systems. Similar
8
<PAGE> 9
legislation is expected to be considered by Congress during its current
session. The outcome of these FCC, legislative or court proceedings and
proposals or the effect of such outcome on cable system operations cannot be
predicted.

in some cases in 1993 as a result of the FCC's rate regulations, overall
revenues may have decreased due to the elimination of charges for additional
outlets and certain equipment. In cable television systems, basic subscribers
can subscribe to more than one pay TV service. Thus, the total number of pay
services subscribed to by basic subscribers are called pay units. As of
December 31, 1994, the Venture's Systems operated approximately 4,400 miles of
cable plant, passing approximately 424,0900 homes, representing an approximate
55% penetration rate. Figures for numbers of subscribers, miles of cable plant
and homes passed are compiled from the General Partner's records and may be
subject to adjustments.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
CABLE TV FUND 12-C
Results of Operations
All of Cable TV Fund 12-C's ("Fund 12-C's") operations are represented
by its approximate 15 percent interest in Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the
"Venture"). Thus, Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Venture should
be consulted for pertinent comments regarding Fund 12-C's performance.
Financial Condition
Fund 12-C's investment in the Venture has decreased by $1,967,232 when
compared to the December 31, 1993 balance, representing a deficit of
$3,002,488. This deficit is due to Fund 12-C's share of Venture losses, which
are principally the result of depreciation and amortization charges being
greater than equity invested. These losses are expected to be recovered upon
liquidation of the Venture.

<PAGE> 13
CABLE TV FUND 12-BCD VENTURE
Results of Operations
1994 Compared to 1993
Revenues of Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture") increased
$3,691,546, or approximately 4 percent, from $89,131,530 in 1993 to $92,823,076
in 1994. Between December 31, 1993 and 1994, the Venture added 14,878 basic
subscribers, an increase of approximately 7 percent. This increase in basic
subscribers accounted for approximately 37 percent of the increase in revenues.
Increases in advertising sales revenue accounted for approximately 28 percent
of the increase in revenues. Increases in premium service and pay-per-view
revenues accounted for approximately 27 percent of the increase. The increase
in revenues would have been greater but for the reduction in basic rates due to
new basic rate regulations issued by the FCC in May 1993 with which the Venture
complied effective September 1, 1993. No other single factor significantly
affected the increase in revenues.
Operating, general and administrative expenses in the Venture's
systems increased $4,057,270, or approximately 8 percent, from $52,073,984 in
1993 to $56,131,254 in 1994. Operating, general and administrative expense
represented 58 percent and 60 percent of revenue in 1993 and in 1994,
respectively. The increase in operating, general and administrative expense
was due to increases in subscriber related costs, programming fees and
marketing related costs. No other single factor significantly affected the
increase in operating, general and administrative expenses. Management fees
and allocated overhead from Jones Intercable, Inc. increased $1,086,904, or
approximately 10 percent, from $10,505,360 in 1993 to $11,592,264 in 1994 due
to the increase in revenues, upon which such fees and allocations are based,
and an increase in allocated expenses from Jones Intercable, Inc. Depreciation
and amortization expense decreased $992,963, or approximately 4 percent, from
$25,651,237 in 1993 to $24,658,274 in 1994. The decrease is due to the
maturation of the Venture's asset base.
The Venture's operating income decreased $459,665 or approximately 51
percent, from $900,949 in 1993 to $441,284 in 1994. This decrease is the
result of increases in operating, general and administrative expenses and
management fees and allocated overhead from Jones Intercable, Inc. exceeding
the increases in revenue and offset by the decreases in depreciation and
amortization expenses. Operating income before depreciation and amortization
decreased $1,452,628, or approximately 5 percent, from $26,552,186 in 1993 to
$25,099,558 in 1994. This decrease is due to the increase in operating,
general and administrative expenses and management fees and allocated overhead
from Jones Intercable, Inc. exceeding the increase in revenues.
Interest expense increased $1,318,943, or 11 percent, from $11,989,130
in 1993 to $13,308,073 in 1994 due to higher interest rates and higher
outstanding balances on interest bearing obligations.
Net loss increased $1,291,826, or approximately 11 percent, from
$11,584,416 in 1993 to $12,876,242 in 1994 due to the factors discussed above.
1993 Compared to 1992
Revenues of the Venture increased $5,564,003, or approximately 7
percent, from $83,567,527 in 1992 to $89,131,530 in 1993. Between December 31,
1992 and 1993, the Venture added 7,498 basic subscribers, an increase of
approximately 4 percent. This increase in basic subscribers accounted for
approximately 32 percent of the increase in revenues. Basic service rate
adjustments were responsible for approximately 38 percent of the increase in
revenues. Increases in advertising sales revenue accounted for approximately
12 percent of the increase in revenues. Increases in pay-per-view revenue
accounted for approximately 14 percent of the increase. The increase in
revenues would have been greater but for the reduction in basic rates due to
the basic rate regulations issued by the FCC in May 1993 with which the Venture
complied effective September 1, 1993. No other single factor significantly
affected the increase in revenues.
13
<PAGE> 14
Operating, general and administrative expenses in the Venture's
systems increased $3,941,804, or approximately 8 percent, from $48,132,180 in
1992 to $52,073,984 in 1993. Operating, general and administrative expense
represented 58 percent of revenue in 1993 and in 1992. The increase in
operating, general and administrative expense was due to increases in
subscriber related costs, programming fees and marketing related costs. No
other single factor significantly affected the increase in operating, general
and administrative expenses. Management fees and allocated overhead from Jones
Intercable, Inc. increased $746,870, or approximately 8 percent, from
$9,758,490 in 1992 to $10,505,360 in 1993 due to the increase in revenues, upon
which such fees and allocations are based, and an increase in allocated
expenses from Jones Intercable, Inc. Depreciation and amortization expense
decreased $1,113,583, or approximately 4 percent, from $26,764,820 in 1992 to
$25,651,237 in 1993. The decrease was due to the maturation of the Venture's
asset base.
The Venture recorded operating income of $900,949 for 1993 compared to
an operating loss of $1,087,963 for 1992. This change is the result of
increases in revenue and the decreases in depreciation and amortization
expenses exceeding the increases in operating, general and administrative
expenses and management fees and allocated overhead from Jones Intercable, Inc.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization increased $875,329, or
approximately 3 percent, from $25,676,857 in 1992 to $26,552,186 in 1993. This
increase was due to the increase in revenues exceeding the increase in
operating, general and administrative expenses and administrative fees and
allocated overhead from Jones Intercable, Inc.
Interest expense decreased $33,744, or less than 1 percent, from
$12,022,874 in 1992 to $11,989,130 in 1993 due to lower interest rates on
interest bearing obligations, which were offset, in part, by higher balances on
such obligations. The 1992 expense primarily represented the Sunbelt
litigation settlement. The settlement was accrued by the Venture in 1992 and
paid by the Venture in March 1993.
Net loss decreased $3,299,949, or approximately 22 percent, from
$14,884,365 in 1992 to $11,584,416 in 1993 due to the factors discussed above.
These losses are expected to continue in the future.
Financial Condition
Capital expenditures for the Venture totaled approximately $21,000,000
during 1994. Service drops to homes accounted for approximately 30 percent of
the capital expenditures. New plant construction accounted for approximately
19 percent of the capital expenditures. Approximately 7 percent of capital
expenditures was for converters. The upgrade of the Venture's Albuquerque, New
Mexico system accounted for approximately 5 percent of capital expenditures.
The remaining expenditures related to various system enhancements. These
capital expenditures were funded primarily from cash generated from operations
and borrowings under the Venture's credit facility. Expected capital
expenditures for 1995 are approximately $20,000,000. Service drops to homes
are anticipated to account for approximately 32 percent. Approximately 23
percent of budgeted capital expenditures is for new plant construction. The
remainder of the expenditures are for various system enhancements in all of the
Venture's systems. Funding for these expenditures is expected to be provided
by cash on hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings from the
Venture's credit facility. The Venture has sufficient sources of capital
available in its ability to generate cash from operations and to borrow under
its credit facility to meet its presently anticipated needs.
The Venture's debt arrangements consist of $93,000,000 of Senior Notes
placed with a group of institutional lenders and a revolving credit agreement
with a group of commercial bank lenders.
The Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate of 8.64 percent and a
final maturity date of March 31, 2000. The Senior Notes call for interest only
payments for the first four years, with interest and accelerating amortization
of principal payments for the next four years. Interest is payable
semi-annually. The Senior Notes carry a "make-whole" premium, which is a
prepayment penalty, if the notes are prepaid prior to maturity. The make-whole
premium protects the lenders in the event that prepaid funds are reinvested at
a rate below 8.64 percent, and is calculated per the note agreement.
The revolving credit period on the Venture's $90,000,000 credit
facility expired on March 31, 1994. The then-outstanding balance of
$84,300,000 converted to a term loan payable in quarterly installments which
began June 30, 1994. The Venture repaid $758,700 of this loan in the second
quarter. In September 1994, however, the General Partner completed
negotiations to extend the revolving credit period and revised the commitment
to $87,000,000. The balance outstanding at December 31, 1994 was $86,541,300.
Under the new terms of this credit facility, the loan will
14
<PAGE> 15
convert to a term loan on March 31, 1996 with quarterly installments beginning
June 30, 1996 and a final payment due March 31, 2000. Interest is at the
Venture's option of LIBOR plus 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, the CD rate plus
1.375 percent to 1.875 percent or the Base Rate plus 0 percent to .50 percent.
The effective interest rates on amounts outstanding on the Venture's term
credit facility as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 were 7.26 percent and 5.08
percent, respectively.
Both lending facilities are equal in standing with the other, and both
are equally secured by the assets of the Venture.
Regulation and Legislation
On October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act") which became
effective on December 4, 1992. The 1992 Cable Act generally allows for a
greater degree of regulation in the cable television industry. In April 1993,
the FCC adopted regulations governing rates for basic and non-basic services.
These regulations became effective on September 1, 1993. Such regulations
caused reductions in rates for certain regulated services. On February 22,
1994, the FCC adopted several additional rate orders including an order which
revised its earlier-announced regulatory scheme with respect to rates. The
Venture has filed cost-of-service showings for its systems and thus anticipates
no further reductions in rates. The cost-of-service showings have not yet
received final approval from franchising authorities, however, and there can be
no assurance that the Partnership's cost-of-service showing will prevent
further rate reductions until such final approval is received. See Item 1 for
further discussion of the provisions of the 1992 Cable Act and the FCC
regulations promulgated thereunder.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of Cable TV Fund 12-C:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CABLE TV
FUND 12-C (a Colorado limited partnership) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the related statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit) and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the General Partner's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cable TV
Fund 12-C as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CABLE TV FUND 12-C
(A Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS' INTERESTS
Formation and Business
Cable TV Fund 12-C ("Fund 12-C"), a Colorado limited
partnership, was formed on October 9, 1985, under a public program sponsored by
Jones Intercable, Inc. Fund 12-C was formed to acquire, construct, develop and
operate cable television systems. Jones Intercable, Inc. is the "General
Partner" and manager of Fund 12-C. The General Partner and its subsidiaries
also own and operate cable television systems. In addition, the General
Partner manages cable television systems for other limited partnerships for
which it is general partner and, also, for affiliated entities.
Fund 12-C owns an interest of approximately 15 percent in
Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture"), through capital contributions
made in 1986 of $20,700,000. The Venture acquired certain cable television
systems in New Mexico, California, and Florida during 1986. The Venture
incurred losses of $12,876,242, $11,584,416 and $14,884,365 in 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively, of which $1,967,232, $1,769,867 and $2,274,033,
respectively, were allocated to Fund 12-C.
Contributed Capital
The capitalization of Fund 12-C is set forth in the
accompanying statements of partners' capital (deficit). No limited partner is
obligated to make any additional contributions to partnership capital.
The General Partner purchased its interest in Fund 12-C by
contributing $1,000 to partnership capital.
All profits and losses of Fund 12-C are allocated 99 percent
to the limited partners and 1 percent to the General Partner, except for income
or gain from the sale or disposition of cable television properties, which will
be allocated to the partners based upon the formula set forth in the
Partnership Agreement, and interest income earned prior to the first
acquisition by Fund 12-C of a cable television system, which was allocated 100
percent to the limited partners.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Records
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on
the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Fund 12-C's tax returns are also prepared on the
accrual basis.
Investment in Cable Television Joint Venture
The investment in the Venture is accounted for under the
equity method due to Fund 12-C's influence on the Venture as a general partner.
The operations of the Venture are significant to Fund 12-C and should be
reviewed in conjunction with these financial statements. Reference is made to
the accompanying financial statements of the Venture on pages 25 to 34.
22
<PAGE> 23
(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES
Management Fees and Distribution Ratios
The General Partner manages Fund 12-C and the Venture and
receives a fee for its services equal to 5 percent of the gross revenues of the
Venture, excluding revenues from the sale of cable television systems or
franchises.
Any partnership distributions made from cash flow (defined as
cash receipts derived from routine operations, less debt principal and interest
payments and cash expenses) are allocated 99 percent to the limited partners
and 1 percent to the General Partner. Any distributions other than interest
income on limited partnership subscriptions earned prior to the acquisition of
Fund 12-C's first cable television system or from cash flow, such as from the
sale or refinancing of a system or upon dissolution of the Fund 12-C, will be
made as follows: first, to the limited partners in an amount which, together
with all prior distributions, will equal the amount initially contributed by
the limited partners; the balance, 75 percent to the limited partners and 25
percent to the General Partner.
(4) INCOME TAXES
Income taxes have not been recorded in the accompanying
financial statements because they accrue directly to the partners. The Federal
and state income tax returns of Fund 12-C are prepared and filed by the General
Partner.
Fund 12-C's tax returns, the qualification of the partnership
as such for tax purposes, and the amount of distributable partnership income or
loss are subject to examination by Federal and state taxing authorities. If
such examinations result in changes with respect to Fund 12-C's qualification
as such, or in changes with respect to Fund 12- C's recorded income or loss,
the tax liability of the general and limited partners would likely be changed
accordingly.
Taxable loss reported to the partners is different from that
reported in the statements of operations due to the difference in depreciation
recognized under generally accepted accounting principles and the expense
allowed for tax purposes under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System
(MACRS). There are no other significant differences between taxable loss and
the net loss reported in the statements of operations.

CABLE TV FUND 12-BCD VENTURE
(A General Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS' INTERESTS
Formation and Business
On March 17, 1986, Cable TV Funds 12-B, 12-C and 12-D (the
"Venture Partners") formed Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture"). The
Venture was formed for the purpose of acquiring certain cable television
systems serving Tampa, Florida; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Palmdale,
California. Jones Intercable, Inc. ("Intercable"), the "General Partner" of
each of the Venture Partners, manages the Venture. Intercable and its
subsidiaries also own and operate cable television systems. In addition,
Intercable manages cable television systems for other limited partnerships for
which it is general partner and, also, for affiliated entities.
Contributed Capital
The capitalization of the Venture is set forth in the
accompanying statements of partners' capital.
All Venture distributions, including those made from cash
flow, from the sale or refinancing of Partnership property and on dissolution
of the Venture, shall be made to the Venture Partners in proportion to their
approximate respective interests in the Partnership as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Cable TV Fund 12-B 9%
Cable TV Fund 12-C 15%
Cable TV Fund 12-D 76%
----
100%
====
</TABLE>
Venture Acquisitions and Sales
The Venture owns and operates the cable television systems
serving certain areas in and around Albuquerque, New Mexico; Palmdale,
California; and Tampa, Florida.
On September 20, 1991, the Venture entered into a purchase and
sale agreement with an unaffiliated party to sell the cable television system
serving the area in and around California City, California for $2,620,000.
Closing on this transaction occurred on April 1, 1992. The proceeds were used
to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Venture's credit
facility.
The Venture's acquisitions were accounted for as purchases
with the individual purchase prices allocated to tangible and intangible assets
based upon an independent appraisal. The method of allocation of purchase
price was as follows: first, to the fair value of the net tangible assets
acquired; second, to the value of subscriber lists; third, to franchise costs;
and fourth, to cost in excess of interests in net assets purchased. Brokerage
fees paid to an affiliate of Intercable and other system acquisition costs were
capitalized and included in the cost of intangible assets.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Records
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The Venture's tax returns are also prepared on
the accrual basis.

following remaining estimated useful lives:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Franchise costs 2 - 10 years
Cost in excess of interests in net assets purchased 31 years
</TABLE>
Revenue Recognition
Subscriber prepayments are initially deferred and recognized
as revenue when earned.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Venture
considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the 1994 presentation.
(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH JONES INTERCABLE, INC. AND AFFILIATES
Brokerage Fees
The Jones Group, Ltd., an affiliate of Intercable, performs
brokerage services for the Venture in connection with Venture acquisitions and
sales. For brokering two acquisitions in the Tampa System for the Venture, The
Jones Group, Ltd. was paid fees totaling $13,120, or 4 percent of the
transaction prices, during 1992. Additionally, The Jones Group, Ltd. received
$65,500, or 2.5 percent of the transaction price, during 1992 for brokering a
sale in the Palmdale System. There were no brokerage fees paid during the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993.
Management Fees and Reimbursements
Intercable manages the Venture and receives a fee for its
services equal to 5 percent of the gross revenues of the Venture, excluding
revenues from the sale of cable television systems or franchises. Management
fees paid to Intercable for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992
were $4,641,154, $4,456,577 and $4,178,376, respectively.
The Venture reimburses Intercable for certain allocated
overhead and administrative expenses. These expenses represent the salaries
and related benefits paid to corporate personnel, rent, data processing
services and other corporate facilities costs. Such personnel provide
engineering, marketing, administrative, accounting, legal and investor
relations services to the Venture. Allocations of personnel costs are based
primarily on actual time spent by employees of
31
<PAGE> 32
Intercable with respect to each entity managed. Remaining overhead costs are
allocated based on total revenues and/or the cost of assets managed for the
entity. Effective December 1, 1993, the allocation method was changed to be
based only on revenue, which Intercable believes provides a more accurate
method of allocation. Systems owned by Intercable and all other systems owned
by partnerships for which Intercable is the general partner are also allocated
a proportionate share of these expenses. Intercable believes that the
methodology used in allocating overhead and administrative expenses is
reasonable. Overhead and administrative expenses allocated to the Venture by
Intercable during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 were
$6,951,110, $6,048,783 and $5,580,114, respectively.
The Venture was charged interest during 1994 at an average
interest rate of 10 percent on the amounts due Intercable, which approximated
Intercable's cost of borrowing. Total interest charged the Venture by
Intercable was $33,627, $15,477 and $126,073 during 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
Payments to/from Affiliates for Programming Services
The Venture receives programming from Superaudio, The Mind
Extension University and Jones Computer Network, affiliates of Intercable.
Payments to Superaudio totaled $135,346, $134,179 and $132,091 in 1994, 1993
and 1992, respectively. Payments to The Mind Extension University totaled
$124,043, $79,002 and $76,676 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Payments
to Jones Computer Network, which initiated service in 1994, totaled $71,961.
The Venture receives a commission from Product Information
Network, an affiliate of Intercable, based on a percentage of advertising sales
and number of subscribers. Product Information Network, which initiated
service in 1994, paid commissions to the Venture totalling $81,592.
(4) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
consisted of the following:

Capital lease obligations 861,448 898,697
------------ ------------
$180,402,748 $167,698,697
============ ============
</TABLE>
The Venture's debt arrangements consist of $93,000,000 of
Senior Notes placed with a group of institutional lenders and a revolving
credit agreement with a group of commercial bank lenders.
32
<PAGE> 33
The Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate of 8.64 percent
and a final maturity date of March 31, 2000. The Senior Notes call for
interest only payments for the first four years, with interest and accelerating
amortization of principal payments for the next four years. Interest is
payable semi-annually. The Senior Notes carry a "make-whole" premium, which is
a prepayment penalty, if the notes are prepaid prior to maturity. The
make-whole premium protects the lenders in the event that prepaid funds are
reinvested at a rate below 8.64 percent, and is calculated per the note
agreement.
The revolving credit period on the Venture's $90,000,000
credit facility expired on March 31, 1994. The then-outstanding balance of
$84,300,000 converted to a term loan payable in quarterly installments which
began June 30, 1994. The Venture repaid $758,700 of this loan in the second
quarter. In September 1994, however, the General Partner completed
negotiations to extend the revolving credit period and revised the commitment
to $87,000,000. The balance outstanding at December 31, 1994 was $86,541,300.
Under the new terms of this credit facility, the loan will convert to a term
loan on March 31, 1996 with quarterly installments beginning June 30, 1996 and
a final payment due March 31, 2000. Interest is at the Venture's option of
LIBOR plus 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, the CD rate plus 1.375 percent to
1.875 percent or the Base Rate plus 0 percent to .50 percent. The effective
interest rates on amounts outstanding on the Venture's term credit facility as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993 were 7.26 percent and 5.08 percent, respectively.
Both lending facilities are equal in standing with the other,
and both are equally secured by the assets of the Venture.
During 1992, the Venture incurred costs associated with
renegotiating its debt arrangements. These fees were capitalized and are being
amortized over the life of the debt agreements.
Installments due on debt principal for each of the five years
in the period ending December 31, 1999 and thereafter, respectively, are:
$258,434, $14,247,151, $18,716,325, $25,176,742, $31,723,304 and $90,280,792,
respectively.
(6) INCOME TAXES
Income taxes have not been recorded in the accompanying
financial statements because they accrue directly to the partners of Cable TV
Funds 12-B, 12-C and 12-D.
The Venture's tax returns, the qualification of the Venture as
such for tax purposes, and the amount of distributable income or loss, are
subject to examination by Federal and state taxing authorities. If such
examinations result in changes with respect to the Venture's qualification as
such, or in changes with respect to the Venture's recorded loss, the tax
liability of the Venture's general partners would likely be changed
accordingly.
Taxable losses reported to the partners is different from that
reported in the statements of operations due to the difference in depreciation
allowed under generally accepted accounting principles and the expense allowed

There are no other significant differences between taxable income or losses and
the net losses reported in the statements of operations.
(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television
Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act") which
became effective on December 4, 1992. The 1992 Cable Act generally allows for
a greater degree of regulation in the cable television industry. In April
1993, the FCC adopted regulations governing rates for basic and non-basic
services. These regulations became effective on September 1, 1993. Such
regulations caused reductions in rates for certain regulated services. On
February 22, 1994, however, the FCC adopted several additional rate orders
including an order which revised its earlier-announced regulatory scheme with
respect to rates. The Venture has filed cost-of-service showings in its
systems and anticipates no further reductions in rates. The cost-of-service
showings have not received final approval from franchising authorities.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Partnership has no employees; however, various personnel are required
to operate the cable television systems owned by the Partnership. Such
personnel are employed by the General Partner and, pursuant to the terms of the
limited partnership agreement of the Partnership, the cost of such employment
is charged by the General Partner to the Partnership as a direct reimbursement
item. See Item 13.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGERS
No person or entity owns more than 5 percent of the limited partnership
interests of the Partnership.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The General Partner and its affiliates engage in certain transactions with
the Partnership as contemplated by the limited partnership agreement of the
Partnership. The General Partner believes that the terms of such transactions
are generally as favorable as could be obtained by the Partnership from
unaffiliated parties. This determination has been made by the General Partner
in good faith, but none of the terms were or will be
37
<PAGE> 38
negotiated at arm's-length and there can be no assurance that the terms of such
transactions have been or will be as favorable as those that could have been
obtained by the Partnership from unaffiliated parties.
The General Partner charges the Partnership a management fee, and the
Partnership reimburses the General Partner for certain allocated overhead and
administrative expenses in accordance with the terms of the limited partnership
agreement of the Partnership. These expenses consist primarily of salaries and
benefits paid to corporate personnel, rent, data processing services and other
facilities costs. Such personnel provide engineering, marketing,
administrative, accounting, legal and investor relations services to the
Partnership. Allocations of personnel costs are based primarily on actual time
spent by employees of the General Partner with respect to the partnership
managed. Remaining overhead costs are allocated based on revenues and/or the
costs of assets managed for the Partnership. Systems owned by the General
Partner and all other systems owned by partnerships for which Jones Intercable,
Inc. is the general partner, are also allocated a proportionate share of these
expenses.
The General Partner also advances funds and charges interest on the balance
payable from the Partnership. The interest rate charged the Partnership
approximates the General Partner's weighted average cost of borrowing.
From time to time, The Jones Group, Ltd., an affiliate of the General
Partner, performs brokerage services for the Venture in connection with Venture
acquisitions and sales from or to unaffiliated entities.
The Systems receive stereo audio programming from Superaudio, a joint
venture owned 50% by an affiliate of the General Partner and 50% by an
unaffiliated party, educational video programming from Mind Extension
University, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, and computer video
programming from Jones Computer Network, Ltd., an affiliate of the General
Partner, for fees based upon the number of subscribers receiving the
programming.
Product Information Network ("PIN"), an affiliate of the General Partner,
provides advertising time for third parties on the Systems. In consideration,
the revenues generated from the third parties are shared two-thirds and
one-third between PIN and the Venture. During the year ended December 31,
1994, the Venture received revenues from PIN of $81,592.
The activities of Fund 12-C and Fund 12-D are limited to their equity
ownership in the Venture. See the following related party disclosure for the

Convenience of the Government", this Agreement does not obligate the Government

month before the expiration date set forth in paragraph 7 of this Agreement,
the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, of its
intention to seek a renewal of this Agreement. The Contractor's failure to
provide such notice within the prescribed 6-month period shall constitute an
irrevocable waiver of the Contractor's rights, arising under this Agreement or
any federal law or regulation, to seek renewal of this Agreement
b. In the event that the Contractor provides notice within the
prescribed 6-month period of its intention to seek renewal, the Government
shall consider renewal of this Agreement in accordance with the procedures
required by federal law and Air Force regulation or, in the absence of such law
or regulation, in any such manner as the Government may determine. However,

accordance with applicable federal law, this Agreement provides no right to
renewal and the Government may deny renewal for any good faith reason

conditions, or provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) repeated violations of the
same nonmaterial term, condition, or provision of this agreement and, after
receiving notice of such violation from the Contracting Officer, the Contractor
fails to correct such violation within a reasonable period of time as
determined by the Contracting Officer.
b. THE CONTRACTOR RECOGNIZES THAT FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FCC
CUSTOMER SERVICE STANDARDS, IDENTIFIED AT APPENDIX G,_ MAY BE GROUNDS FOR
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
10. NO GOVERNMENT LIABILITY ON EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT. Other
than any judicial, legal or regulatory remedies which may be available to the
Contractor, if the Government terminates this Agreement pursuant to paragraph
9, or if this Agreement expires pursuant to paragraph 7, the Contractor shall
not be entitled to any payment from the Government for any expense or cost
incurred by the Contractor in constructing, installing, maintaining, or
operating the cable system or for any other cost or expense incurred by the
Contractor in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement.
11. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT. The Contracting Officer,
by written notice, may terminate this Agreement for convenience of the
Government, in whole or in part, when it is in the Government's interest. If
this Agreement is terminated for convenience of the Government, the rights,
duties, and obligations of the parties, including compensation to the
Contractor, shall be in accordance with Part 49 of the FAR and all applicable
laws and remedies.
12. GOVERNMENT ACQUISITION OF THE CABLE SYSTEM. In the event of a national
emergency, the Government may require the Contractor to transfer ownership and
possession of the cable system, including all subscriber records, to the
Government. If such transfer is required, the Contractor shall be entitled to
the fair market value of the cable system, including, but not limited to, the
value of the this franchise in accordance with Federal law.
13. OPERATION AFTER EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION. If this agreement expires
without renewal or is terminated for any reason, the Contractor, if directed by
the Contracting Officer, shall continue to operate and maintain the cable
system pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for such period as the
Government may require, but not more than 6 months.
14. REMOVAL OF FACILITIES. If this Agreement expires without renewal or is
terminated in accordance with the terms of this agreement, the Government may
require the Contractor to remove from the Base, at the Contractor's expense,
all equipment, facilities, and materials of the cable system, and to restore
Government and private property to its previous condition.
15. FRANCHISE, POLE RENTAL, OR SIMILAR FEES:
a. To the extent permitted by Federal law, the Government may require
the Contractor to pay a reasonable franchise fee, pole or conduit rental fee,
and any other reasonable fee for the use of Government property or for the cost
of administering this franchise. In consideration for the rights granted by
this Agreement, the Contractor agrees to pay any such fee required by the
Government. The Government shall provide written notice to the Contractor 180
days before the effective date of any such fee.
b. To the extent permitted under Federal law, if the Contractor owns
or operates a cable system in a civilian community adjoining or within 50 miles
of the Base, the Contractor agrees that if the Government does not impose the
fees permitted under subparagraph a, the rates set forth in Appendix D of this
Agreement shall be lower than the rates charged in such civilian community by a
percentage equal to the percentage of the Contractor's gross revenues paid as
any of the fees set forth in subparagraph a to such civilian community, or its
franchising authority, less the percentage of any such fees imposed by the
Government, plus any authorized FCC external costs related to the Contractors
operation of the cable system on the base. If, for example, the adjoining
civilian community imposes a 5 percent franchise fee, and the Government does
not impose any franchise fee, the rates set
<PAGE> 8
forth in Appendix D shall be 5 percent lower than rates for similar service
charged by the Contractor in the adjoining community. If the Contractor does
not own or operate a cable system in a civilian community adjoining or within
50 miles of the Base, the contractor agrees that the rates set forth in
Appendix D of this Agreement will be maintained at a level reflecting the
extent to which the Government refrains from exercising its rights under
subparagraph a. The Contractor agrees to provide to the Government upon request
a list of rates charged by the Contractor in civilian communities and the amount
of franchise and similar fees charged by those communities.
c. The Contractor agrees that the obligations set forth in
subparagraph b, do not constitute regulation of rates, and that such
obligations are assumed by the Contractor in recognition of the unique
circumstances of providing cable service to a military installation and as
consideration for the rights granted to the Contractor by this Agreement.
d. The provisions of this paragraph do not apply to fees for
utilities, including electricity, gas, sewage, disposal, water, and telephone
service. The Contractor shall compensate the Government for the actual cost of
utilities supplied to the Contractor in the form of lower cable rates.
16. RATE REGULATION:
a. To the extent permitted by federal law, the Government without
further notice may regulate rates charged by the Contractor.
b. Rates for the following services are subject to regulation:
(1) Installation or rental of equipment which facilitates the
reception of cable service by hearing impaired individuals.
(2) Cable Service
17. RATES FOR CABLE SERVICE. All of the rates charged by the Contractor,
including connection charges, shall be set forth in Appendix D of this
Agreement. The Contractor may not increase the rates set forth in Appendix D,
except as provided in paragraph 18.
18. ADJUSTMENTS IN RATES:
a. The Contractor may unilaterally adjust all rates set forth in
Appendix D that are not subject to regulation, provided that:
(1) At least 60 days before the effective date of any increase
in rates the Contractor submits to the Contracting Officer a revised Appendix D
setting forth the new rates and, at least 60 days before the effective date of
any such increase, the Contractor provides written notice of such increase to
all subscribers; and,
(2) Service fees are uniform as to all subscribers and
connection fees are uniforn within the categories in Appendix D; and,
(3) The adjustment is otherwise consistent with this Agreement.
b. Except in conformance with Federal law, the Contractor shall not
increase rates subject to regulation without the express written consent of the
Contracting Officer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude the Contractor from
unilaterally adjusting its rates in conformance with FCC regulations subject to
the notification provisions specified in this section. The Contracting Officer
shall exercise reasonable judgement in its decision to grant or deny a rate
increase considering the following factors: the Contractor's ability to render
service and to derive a reasonable profit therefrom under the existing and
proposed rate schedule; the revenues and profits derived from the service for
which the increase is requested; the quality of the services offered by the
Contractor; the cost of the equipment used to provide the service; the extent
to which the Contractor has complied with this Agreement; and the fairness of
the proposed rates to current and potential subscribers.
<PAGE> 9
19. DISCONNECTIONS. Except in conformance with Federal law, the Contractor may
not charge any subscriber for disconnection from the cable system. If a
subscriber has prepaid its monthly service charge and is not delinquent in any
fees, then the subscriber shall be entitled to a prorated refund for service
during the month in which the disconnection occurs. Before reconnection, the
Contractor may require full payment of any prior delinquent fees from any
subscriber requesting reconnection.
20. INSURANCE, INDEMNIFICATION, AND LIABILITY:
a. The Contractor shall at all times maintain in full force and effect
a policy or policies of insurance. See Appendix C, Contract Clause 2.
b. The Contractor shall indemnify the Government against any and all
expenses, taxes, liabilities, claims and charges of whatever kind or nature
that may arise as a result of the activities of the Contractor or its agent or
employees, which results either contractually or from the negligence, gross
negligence, or intentional act of the Contractor.
c. The Contractor, at its expense, shall repair or replace, as
reasonably determined by the Government, any Government or private property
damaged or destroyed by the Contractor. If the Contractor fails to promptly
repair or replace any such property, the Government may repair or replace such
property and the Contractor shall be liable for the costs of such repair or
replacement.
21. NEW DEVELOPMENTS. The Contractor and Government recognize that, over the
term of this Agreement, cable television technology, the regulation of cable
television, and the programming services available for distribution will
undergo continual change; as a result of such change, the technology,
equipment, and services required by this Agreement may become obsolete,
uneconomical, or otherwise disadvantageous. The Contractor and the Government,
therefore, agree to consider in good faith proposals submitted by either party
for modification of this Agreement to permit the introduction of new equipment,
programming and technology or to otherwise improve cable television service to
the Base.
22. CONTRACTING OFFICER AS COMMON AGENT. The Contracting Officer may act as
common agent for all subscribers, including, individuals, non appropriated fund
activities, and appropriated fund activities, on all matters, including the
resolution of disputes concerning the Contractor's performance under any of
the terms or conditions of this Agreement. The Contracting Officer, however,
shall not act as collecting agent for fees due for services provided to
individuals and non appropriated fund activities, and the Government shall not
be liable for such fees. The Contractor will be reimbursed by the Government
for only those costs incurred for providing cable service to non-residential
buildings or areas, plus the applicable rate charged for the monthly cable
service, and only for which the Contracting Officer specifically has
authorized.
23. HEADINGS. The headings contained in this Agreement are to facilitate
reference only and shall not in any way affect the construction or
interpretation hereof.
24. SEVERABILITY:
a. Every provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable. If
any section, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or other portion of this
Agreement is for any reason held illegal, invalid, or unconstitutional, or is
preempted by any federal law, rule, or regulation, such portion shall be deemed
a separate, distinct, and independent portion and such holding or preemption
shall not effect the validity of the remaining portions and provisions of this
Agreement.
b. If, in the determination of the Government and the Contractor, the
portions preempted or held illegal, invalid, or unconstitutional are in the
determination of the Government and the Contractor, material, then the
Government and the Contractor shall have the right to modify the remaining
provisions of this Agreement to comply with such preemption or holding and to
mitigate the effect of such holding or pre-emption.

production of evidence necessary to ensure a fair hearing and to protect a
party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or
expense.
(f) Unless otherwise provided by the hearing officer, and to the
extent consistent with these rules, the form, scope, and use of the methods for
the production of evidence set forth in b and c above, shall be governed by the

they waive the opportunity to cross-examine or present evidence with respect to
such exhibits.

evidence and the credibility to be accorded witnesses.
(c) Generally, unless otherwise provided by statute or these rules,
the bearing officer shall consider the Federal Rules of Evidence as guidance in
making evidentiary rulings.

(b) The Findings of Fact, Conclusions, and Recommendation shall be
based solely on the record of the proceedings. If it is the recommendation of
the hearing officer that renewal be denied, such recommendation must be based
upon a finding supported by a preponderance of the evidence that the operator
has failed to satisfy one or more of the requirements set forth in Section
626(c)(1) of the Cable Act, 47 U.S.C. 546. In addition, such recommendation must
be consistent with Section 626(d) of the Cable Act, 47 U.S.C. 546.

Base support will be provided by the Government to the contractor in accordance
with the provisions of this clause. Failure by the contractor to comply with the
provisions of this clause will release the Government, without prejudice, from
its obligation to provide base support by the date(s) required. If warranted,

equipment, services (including automatic data processing), or other support
(excluding use of the Defense Switched Network (DSN) which the Government

requirement and the method by which it will be fulfilled (e.g., purchase,
rental, lease, GFP, etc.). Facilities will not be purchased under this clause.
Additionally, the contractor (or authorized representative) will not purchase,
or otherwise furnish any base support requirement provided by the clause (or
authorize others to do so), without prior written approval of the Contracting
Officer regarding the price, terms, and conditions of the proposed purchase, or
approval of other arrangements.

any part of the work or other requirement of the prime contract.
(6) "Supplies" means all property, except land and interests in land, that is
clearly identifiable for eventual use by or owned by the DoD at the time of
transportation by sea.

Mr. John Kellas

EAFB, CA 93524-1110
Dear John:
This letter is in response to your request for additional
information/clarification in reference to the November 9th ETHERNET cost
proposal. First of all, let me give clarification to the Service, Monthly
Charge, and Installation columns which appeared as follows on the November 9th
proposal:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
SERVICE MONTHLY CHARGE INSTALLATION
------- -------------- ------------
<S> <C> <C>
Flat Fee (For Five Years) $1,000 Waived
Bridge/Router Access/Site $ 200 Waived
Single PC/4-Mbit Access/Site $ 53 $130 (Private Installation)
Single PC/500-Kbit /Site $ 27 $130 (Private Installation)
</TABLE>
FLAT FEE:
This charge is to cover capital expenditure necessary to install the
transportation network for the ETHERNET (Please note that under the installation
heading here we inadvertently typed the word waived; it should have appeared N/A
for non-applicable). The $1,000 per month for 5 years or 60 months was based on
a capital expenditure of $47,071 with a 10% cost of money discount rate applied.
This equates to approximately $60,000 over a 5 year period (See Exhibit A for
specific breakout). If you prefer an up front one time cash payment as opposed
to the 60 month $1,000 payment, then the total amount for the transportation
network installation would be $47,071.
BRIDGER ROUTER:
This section refers to a 4-Mbit access site in which we would bear the cost for
installation and maintenance of the required data modulator. In general terms,
this would be for connections to LAN's. For the service and hardware there would
be a $200 monthly charge and no installation fee.
41551 Tenth Street West, Palmdale, CA 93551 805-947-3130
<PAGE> 44
SINGLE PC/4-MBIT:
This would apply to where the base or a private individual would hook a single
PC into a 4-Mbit access site. The cost to either the base or private individual
would be $53 per month. The installation fee for the base would be waived.
However, a private individual would be required to pay a $130 installation fee.
SINGLE PC/500-KBIT:
This is a slower 500-Kbit data stream designed for private individuals at a
reduced monthly charge of $27 and an installation fee of $130.
As with our standard cable TV service, installation is contingent on existing
plant's proximity to requested installation site.
Attached is a modified/reworded version of our original cost proposal (Exhibit
B). Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to
call me at (805) 947-3130.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO FRANCHISE AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT To Franchise Agreement ("Amendment"), Made and
Entered into on the 1st day of September 1994, by and between the City of
Tampa, Florida, a municipal corporation of the State of Florida (hereinafter
"City") and Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture, a Colorado Joint Venture (hereinafter
"Franchisee").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Franchisee is the successor to that certain Franchise
Agreement, which by reference incorporates, inter alia, the Bid Application for
the Cable Television Franchise submitted by Tampa Cable Television, Inc.,
(hereinafter "Franchise") dated December 30, 1982, between City and Tampa Cable
Television, Inc., ("TCT") as amended by the Amendment to Franchise Agreement
(hereinafter "First Amendment") dated October 6, 1986, between City and TCT and
approved by Jones Intercable, Inc., whereby City granted a nonexclusive
franchise for the construction and operation of a cable television system; and
WHEREAS, various obligations and commitments in the Franchise and the
First Amendment require modification; and
WHEREAS, City and Franchisee have held numerous discussions regarding
the outstanding issues and have reached a full and satisfactory resolution of
them; and
WHEREAS, City and Franchisee desire to resolve various matters in
dispute with regard to Franchisee's compliance with its obligations and
commitments under the Franchise and the First Amendment;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Franchisee has established a Summer Jobs Program providing
summer employment at the system for at least four (4) youths of high school age
who are residents of Tampa. Franchisee will continue this program until the end
of the Franchise term and will, in cooperation with City officials, utilize the
services of the Private Industry Council's summer jobs program and the Career
Experience Program in locating suitable applicants.
Section 2. Within ninety-six (96) hours of receipt by Franchisee of
notification from City of the feedpoint location desired by City, Franchisee
will provide City with a satellite uplink feed via IDB, Incorporated, uplink
carrier or another suitably qualified carrier from any location served by
Franchisee.
<PAGE> 2
Franchisee will be responsible for all cable system and other transportation
costs and all labor involved in establishing the uplink connection. City shall
be responsible for all uplink charges imposed by IDB or the substitute uplink
carrier.
Section 3. Franchisee shall maintain its origination facilities and
equipment, at a minimum, in the quality and condition existing on the effective
date of this Amendment. Franchisee commits to a minimum expenditure of Two
Hundred Seven Thousand Dollars ($207,000.00) annually on the production of
local origination programming through the end of the current Franchise term.
Section 4. Through the end of the current Franchise term, Franchisee
commits to a minimum expenditure of at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000.00) annually for maintenance and capital upgrade of public access
equipment and to a minimum expenditure of at least Four Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000.00) annually for providing public access
service at the level of programming in existence on the effective date of this
Amendment. Upon establishment of an independent entity for the administration
of public access production and programming, Franchisee shall transfer to such
entity all public access responsibility and ownership of the existing public
access center equipment. At such time as the independent entity is lawfully
established, it shall provide notice to Franchisee that it is ready to accept
ownership of the public access center equipment. Franchisee shall, within
thirty (30) days of such notification, provide the independent entity with a
"Certificate of Title Transfer" containing an itemization of the equipment
being transferred which shall correspond in all material respects with the
equipment listed on Schedule A hereto. In connection with the establishment of
said independent entity, City shall require that there be established by the
entity, prior to undertaking any administration of public access
responsibilities, operating rules which shall include prohibitions of any
obscene programming and appropriate and lawful limitations on indecent
programming. The operating rules shall also prohibit use of public access
channels for any commercial purpose or for any unlawful uses.
Section 5. In conjunction with a high school located in the City of
Tampa, Franchisee shall implement, as a test site, the American Memory Project
in order to provide high school students interactive access to multimedia
educational material from the Library of Congress. Following the implementation
of such Project, Franchisee shall issue a report to City.
Section 6. Franchisee shall construct an Institutional Network (the
"Network") using fiber optic technology. A description of the Network is
attached as Schedule B. Initial activation of the Network shall occur nine (9)
months after City has approved the design of the Network as specified in
Schedule B
2
<PAGE> 3
hereto with final completion ninety (90) days thereafter. Franchisee shall
coordinate the construction and location of the Network with City. Once the
Network is complete, City is responsible for any changes, modifications or
relocations made to the Network. City's use of the Network's transmission
facilities will be at no charge to City as long as City continues to use the
Network; however, City shall provide its own terminal equipment at its own
cost. Franchisee shall maintain ownership and operational control of the
Network, and shall maintain the Network at no cost to City. Franchisee shall
expend an amount of funds sufficient to develop and construct the Network as
specified in Schedule B.
Section 7. At such time as Franchisee or any cable television entity
related to Jones Intercable, Inc. commences testing of digital compression
technology, Franchisee shall conduct the same or similar tests in the City of
Tampa, provided such tests commence prior to January 1, 1996. Franchisee shall
issue a report to the City promptly upon completion of such tests.
Section 8. Franchisee may carry the "bulletin board" programming on
any public access channel during periods when not in use for public access
programming; provided, that Franchisee dedicates current Channel 19 for use as
a second Government Access Channel.
Section 9. Upon execution of this Amendment, Franchisee shall provide
City with a monetary grant in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000.00) to be used by City for the following City projects: the radio
towers acquisition and demolition; the Tampa Museum of Art forecourt
construction; and the Curtis Hixon public boat dock construction. City reserves
the right to revise the foregoing projects from time to time at its discretion
without obtaining the consent of Franchisee.
Section 10. City and Franchisee agree that this Amendment is for the
purpose of resolving various matters in dispute with regard to Franchisee's
compliance with its obligations and commitments under the Franchise and the
First Amendment including, without limitation, all matters itemized in the
letter to Franchisee from City dated July 10, 1990, all subsequent
correspondence, and any and all other claimed franchise compliance matters.
City releases Franchisee from any obligations provided in the Franchise or the
First Amendment that conflict with this Amendment.
Section 11. City and Franchisee agree that, provided that Franchisee
complies with the terms and conditions of this Amendment and the terms and
conditions of the Franchise and the First Amendment that are not in conflict
herewith, this Amendment evidences the parties resolution of the matters in
dispute referred to in Section 10 of this Amendment, and, as of the date of
execution of this Second Amendment, brings Franchisee into full compliance with
the terms, conditions and obligations of the Franchise and the First Amendment.
3
<PAGE> 4
Section 12. Franchisee shall not claim the costs associated with
compliance with this Amendment as "external" costs under Federal rate
regulation procedures. Accordingly, no costs associated with the resolution of
the matters in dispute referred to in Section 10 of this Amendment will be
passed on to Franchisee's subscribers.
Section 13. The parties acknowledge that certain terms and obligations
set forth in the Franchise and the First Amendment are inconsistent with
certain provisions of this Amendment. Accordingly, all terms or provisions of
the Franchise or the First Amendment conflicting with the amended terms set

Section 14. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements or
provisions of this Amendment shall be held to be contrary to any express
provision of law or contrary to any policy of express law, although not

whatsoever be held invalid or unenforceable, then such covenants, agreements or
provisions shall be null and void and shall be deemed separate from the
remaining covenants, agreements or provisions of this Amendment.
Section 15. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date set
forth above upon execution by City and Franchisee.
