NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
---------------------------------------
(1) This Form 10-Q is being filed in conformity with the SEC requirements for
unaudited financial statements and does not contain all of the necessary
footnote disclosures required for a complete presentation of the Balance Sheets
and Statements of Operations and Cash Flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, this data
includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals,
necessary to present fairly the financial position of Cable TV Fund 12-C, Ltd.
(the "Partnership") at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, its results of
operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and
September 30, 1997 and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended September
30, 1998 and 1997. Results of operations for these periods are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
The Partnership owns no properties directly. The Partnership owns a 15
percent interest in Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture"). The Venture
owns and operates the cable television system serving the areas in and around
Palmdale, California (the "Palmdale System"). As discussed below, the Venture's
cable television system serving the areas in and around Albuquerque, New Mexico
(the "Albuquerque System") was sold on June 30, 1998.
(2) Jones Intercable, Inc. (the "General Partner"), a publicly held Colorado
corporation, 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 by the Venture
to the General Partner during the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1998 attributable to the Partnership's 15 percent interest in the Venture
were $61,919 and $391,043, respectively, compared to $156,495 and $468,588,
respectively, for the comparable periods in 1997.
The Venture reimburses the General Partner for certain allocated overhead
and administrative expenses. These expenses represent the salaries and related
benefits paid for 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. Such services, and their related costs, are necessary to the operation
of the Venture and would have been incurred by the Venture if it was a stand
alone entity. Allocations of personnel costs are based on actual time spent by
employees of the General Partner with respect to each partnership managed.
Remaining expenses are allocated based on the pro rata relationship of the
Partnership's revenues to the total revenues of all systems owned or managed by
the General Partner and certain of its subsidiaries. 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 believes that the methodology used in
allocating overhead and administrative expenses is reasonable. Reimbursements
made by the Venture to the General Partner for allocated overhead and
administrative expenses during the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1998 attributable to the Partnership's 15 percent interest in the Venture
were $70,563 and $449,707, respectively, compared to $166,733 and $530,930,
respectively, for the comparable periods in 1997.
See Note 4 for disclosure of the total management fees and allocated
overhead and administrative expenses paid by the Venture.
(3) On June 30, 1998, the Venture sold the Albuquerque System to the General
Partner. The sales price of the Albuquerque System was $222,963,267, subject to
normal working capital closing adjustments. This price represented the average
of three separate, independent appraisals of the fair market value of the
Albuquerque System.
Upon the sale of the Albuquerque System, the Venture repaid its
outstanding Senior Notes balance of $41,544,890 plus accrued interest, plus a
make whole premium of $1,332,823 and, pursuant to an amendment to the Venture's
credit facility, the Venture distributed $125,000,000 to the three constituent
partnerships of the Venture in proportion to their ownership interests in the
Venture. The remaining proceeds were used to repay a portion of the outstanding
balance and accrued interest on its credit facility. The Partnership received
$19,097,217, or 15 percent of the $125,000,000 distribution, which the
Partnership distributed to its partners of record as of the closing date of the
sale of the Albuquerque System. This distribution was made in July 1998. The
limited partners of the Partnership, as a group, received $18,175,163 and the
General Partner received $922,054. Such distribution represents $382 for each
$500 limited partnership interest, or $764 for each $1,000 invested in the
Partnership.

<PAGE>
In March 1998, the Venture entered into a purchase and sale agreement to
sell the Palmdale System to the General Partner for a sales price of
$138,205,200, subject to customary closing adjustments. This sales price
represents the average of three separate independent appraisals of the fair
market value of the Palmdale System. The closing of this sale is subject to a
number of conditions, including the approval of the holders of a majority of the
limited partnership interests in each of the three partnerships that comprise
the Venture. The General Partner expects to conduct a vote of the limited
partners on the sale of the Palmdale System in November and December 1998.
Closing is expected to occur in December 1998.
Upon consummation of the proposed sale of the Palmdale System, based upon
financial information as of September 30, 1998, the Venture will settle working
capital adjustments, repay all of its remaining indebtedness, which totaled
approximately $50,827,000, will retain $1,000,000 to cover pending litigation
expenses and then the Venture will distribute the remaining sale proceeds of
$91,004,955 to the three constituent partnerships of the Venture in proportion
to their ownership interests in the Venture. The Partnership will receive
approximately $13,905,557, or 15 percent of the $91,004,955 distribution, which
the Partnership will distribute to its partners of record as of the closing date
of the sale of the Palmdale System. This distribution is expected to be made in
the first quarter of 1999. Because the limited partners will have already
received distributions in an amount in excess of the capital initially
contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners, taking into account the
distribution to the limited partners from the sale of the Albuquerque System,
the net proceeds from the Palmdale System's sale will be distributed 75 percent
to the limited partners ($10,429,168) and 25 percent to the General Partner
($3,476,389). Limited partners will receive $219 for each $500 limited
partnership interest, or $438 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership, from
the Partnership's portion of the net proceeds of the Palmdale System's sale.
Taking into account the distributions from the sale of the Albuquerque
System and the proposed sale of the Palmdale System, together with all prior
distributions, the General Partner expects that the Partnership's limited
partners will receive $773.50 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or
$1,547 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership, at the time the Partnership
is liquidated.
Although the sale of the Palmdale System will represent the sale of the
only remaining cable television system of the Venture and thus the only
remaining asset of the Partnership, the Venture and the Partnership will not
be dissolved until after the pending litigation challenging the Venture's
February 1996 sale of its Tampa, Florida cable television system to an affiliate
of the general Partner is finally resolved and terminated. The matter is
currently set for trial in May 1999, but there can be no assurance that this
case will be finally resolved and terminated in 1999. Indeed, this litigation
may require the continuation of the Venture and Partnership for several years
beyond 1999.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
---------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
On June 30, 1998, the Venture sold the Albuquerque System to the General
Partner. The sales price of the Albuquerque System was $222,963,267, subject to
normal working capital adjustments. This price represented the average of three
separate independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Albuquerque
System.
Upon the sale of the Albuquerque System, the Venture repaid its outstanding
Senior Notes balance of $41,544,890 plus accrued interest, plus a make whole

$19,097,217, or 15 percent of the $125,000,000 distribution, which the
Partnership distributed to its partners of record as of the closing date of the
sale of the Albuquerque System. This distribution was made in July 1998. The
limited partners of the Partnership, as a group, received $18,175,163 and the
General Partner received $922,054. Such distribution represents $382 for each
$500 limited partnership interest, or $764 for each $1,000 invested in the
Partnership.
In March 1998, the Venture entered into a purchase and sale agreement to
sell the Palmdale System to the General Partner for a sales price of
$138,205,200, subject to customary closing adjustments. This sales price
represents the average of three separate independent appraisals of the fair

Closing is expected to occur in December 1998.
Upon consummation of the proposed sale of the Palmdale System, based upon
financial information as of September 30, 1998, the Venture will settle working
capital adjustments, repay all of its remaining indebtedness, which totaled
approximately $50,827,000, will retain $1,000,000 to cover pending litigation

$91,004,955 to the three constituent partnerships of the Venture in proportion

the net proceeds from the Palmdale System's sale will be distributed 75 percent
to the limited partners ($10,429,168) and 25 percent to the General Partner
($3,476,389). Limited partners will receive $219 for each $500 limited
partnership interest, or $438 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership, from
the Partnership's portion of the net proceeds of the Palmdale System's sale.
Taking into account the distributions from the sale of the Albuquerque
System and the proposed sale of the Palmdale System, together with all prior
distributions, the General Partner expects that the Partnership's limited
partners will receive $773.50 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or
$1,547 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership, at the time the Partnership
is liquidated.
Although the sale of the Palmdale System will represent the sale of the
only remaining cable television system of the Venture and thus the only
remaining asset of the Partnership, the Venture and the Partnership will not
be dissolved until after the pending litigation challenging the Venture's
February 1996 sale of its Tampa, Florida cable television system to an affiliate

currently set for trial in May 1999, but there can be no assurance that this
case will be finally resolved and terminated in 1999. Indeed, this litigation
may require the continuation of the Venture and Partnership for several years
beyond 1999.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Venture generated net
cash from operating activities totaling $6,302,729, which was available to fund
capital expenditures and non-operating costs. Capital expenditures for the
9
<PAGE>
Venture totaled $11,493,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Approximately 44 percent of the Venture's capital expenditures was for service
drops to subscribers' homes, approximately 23 percent was for cable plant
extensions related to new homes passed and the remainder was for other capital
expenditures to maintain the value of the Venture's systems. These capital
expenditures were funded primarily from cash generated from operations and cash
on hand. Budgeted capital expenditures for the Palmdale System for the remainder
of 1998 are approximately $548,000, of which approximately 29 percent is for
cable plant extensions related to new homes passed, approximately 25 percent is
for service drops to subscribers' homes and the remainder is for other capital
expenditures to maintain the value of the Palmdale System. Funding for these
expenditures is expected to be provided by cash on hand, cash generated from
operations and, if necessary, borrowings from the Venture's credit facility. The
Venture is obligated to conduct its business in the ordinary course until the
Palmdale System is sold.
On June 30, 1998, in conjunction with the sale of the Albuquerque System,
the Senior Notes' balance of $41,544,890 plus accrued interest was repaid in
full together with a make whole premium of $1,332,823.
Pursuant to an amendment that became effective on the date of the
Albuquerque sale, the Venture repaid $54,000,000 on its credit facility, and the
commitment was reduced to $55,000,000. The balance outstanding on the Venture's
credit facility at September 30, 1998 was $50,530,620, leaving $4,469,380
available for future needs. At the Venture's option, the credit facility will be
payable in full on December 31, 2000, or will convert to a term loan that
matures on December 31, 2005 payable in consecutive quarterly amounts. Upon the
sale of the Palmdale System, the Venture will repay the then-outstanding balance
of the credit facility. Interest on the credit facility is at the Venture's
option of the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.125 percent, the Prime Rate
plus .125 percent, or the Certificate of Deposit Rate plus 1.25 percent. The
effective interest rates on amounts outstanding on the Venture's credit facility
as of September 30, 1998 and 1997 were 6.87 percent and 7.59 percent,
respectively.
The Venture has sufficient sources of capital available through its ability
to generate cash from operations and borrowings under its credit facility to
meet its needs until the Palmdale System is sold.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------- -- ----------
As a result of the sale of the Albuquerque System in June 1998, the
following discussion of the Venture's results of operations, through operating
income, pertains only to the results of operations of the Palmdale System for
all periods discussed.
Revenues in the Palmdale System increased $550,082, or approximately 7
percent, to $8,104,593 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from
$7,554,511 for the comparable period in 1997. Revenues increased $1,351,667, or
approximately 6 percent, to $23,502,515 for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 from $22,150,848 for the comparable period in 1997. These increases in
revenues were due primarily to basic service rate increases and an increase in
basic subscribers. Basic service rate increases accounted for approximately 34
percent and 52 percent of the increase in revenues for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1998. The increase in the number of basic subscribers
accounted for approximately 46 percent and 34 percent of the increases in
revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998. Basic
subscribers increased 1,768 subscribers, or approximately 3 percent, to 64,848
subscribers at September 30, 1998, from 63,080 subscribers at September 30,
1997. No other individual factor significantly affected the increase in
revenues.
Operating expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the operation
and administration of the Venture's cable television systems. The principal cost
components are salaries paid to system personnel, programming expenses,
professional fees, subscriber billing costs, rent for leased facilities, cable

The cable television industry generally measures the financial performance
of a cable television system in terms of operating cash flow (revenues less
operating expenses). This measure is not intended to be a substitute or
improvement upon the items disclosed on the financial statements, rather it is
included because it is an industry standard. Operating cash flow increased
$83,061, or approximately 2 percent, to $3,903,202 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 from $3,820,141 for the comparable period in 1997. Operating
cash flow increased $501,647, or approximately 5 percent, to $10,682,316 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $10,180,669 for the comparable period
in 1997. These increases were due to the increases in revenues exceeding the
increases in operating expenses.
Management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner increased
$85,128, or approximately 11 percent, to $867,031 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 from $781,903 for the comparable period in 1997. Management
fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner increased $159,602, or
approximately 7 percent, to $2,523,705 for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 from $2,364,103 for the comparable period in 1997. This increase was
primarily due to the increases in revenues, upon which such management fees and
allocations are based.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $433,956, or approximately
30 percent, to $1,904,309 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from
$1,470,353 for the comparable period in 1997. Depreciation and amortization
expense increased $1,128,452, or approximately 27 percent, to $5,330,252 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $4,201,800 for the comparable period
in 1997. These increases were due to capital additions and a change in the
estimated lives of certain assets.
Operating income decreased $436,023, or approximately 28 percent, to
$1,131,862 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $1,567,885 for the
comparable period in 1997. The Venture's operating income decreased $786,407, or
approximately 22 percent, to $2,828,359, for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 compared to $3,614,766 for the comparable period in 1997. These decreases
were due to the increases in management fees and allocated overhead from the
General Partner and depreciation and amortization expense exceeding the
increases in cash flow.
The Venture's interest expense decreased $1,908,045, or approximately 68
percent, to $898,545 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from
$2,806,590 for the comparable period in 1997. Interest expense decreased
$1,912,594, or approximately 23 percent, to $6,314,501 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 from $8,227,095 for the comparable period in 1997. These
decreases were primarily due to lower outstanding balances on the Venture's
interest bearing obligations. A portion of the Venture's outstanding debt was
repaid with the proceeds from the Albuquerque System sale.
The Venture recognized a gain of $147,792,730 related to the sale of the
Albuquerque System in June 1998. No similar gain was recognized in the first
nine months of 1997.
The Venture reported a net loss of $965,569 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to net income of $35,298 for the comparable period
in 1997. The Venture reported net income of $108,537,424 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 compared to a net loss of $1,168,274 for the comparable

Albuquerque System.
