              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED 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 fair 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-D, Ltd.
(the "Partnership") at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 and its
Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1995 and 1994 and its Statements of Cash Flows for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Results of operations for these periods are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include 100 percent
of the accounts of the Partnership and those of Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture
(the "Venture"), including the cable television systems serving Palmdale,
California; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Tampa, Florida, reduced by the
approximate 24 percent minority interest in the Venture.  All interpartnership
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

(2)      Jones Intercable, Inc. (the "General Partner"), a publicly held
Colorado corporation, manages the Partnership 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.
Management fees for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995
were $1,284,208 and $3,761,872, respectively, compared to $1,152,208 and
$3,434,542, respectively, for the similar 1994 periods.

          The Venture reimburses the General Partner 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
upon 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 by the Venture to the General Partner
for allocated overhead and administrative expenses for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1995 were $1,682,738 and $5,163,633, respectively,
compared to $1,564,687 and $4,978,660, respectively, for the similar 1994
periods.

(3)      In August 1995, the Venture entered into a purchase and sale agreement
pursuant to which it agreed to sell its Tampa, Florida system (the "Tampa
System") to the General Partner for a sales price of $110,395,667, subject to
working capital adjustments.  This price is the average of three separate,
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Tampa System.  The
General Partner has assigned its rights and obligations under the purchase and
sale agreement to Jones Cable Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
General Partner.  Closing of the sale is expected to occur during the first
half of 1996.  Although the Venture's current debt arrangements do not allow
the Venture to make distributions, on November 8, 1995, the General Partner
accepted commitments from two commercial banks that will, subject to
negotiation of satisfactory documentation, amend the Venture's existing debt
arrangements to permit a $55,200,000 distribution to the Venture's partners.
The Partnership's portion of this distribution would be approximately
$41,696,000, which would be distributed to the limited partners.  This
distribution will give the Partnership's limited partners an approximate return
of $353 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership.  Because the Tampa System
does not constitute all or substantially all of the Venture's assets, no vote
of the limited partners of the Partnership is required in connection with this
transaction.  Jones Cable Holdings, Inc. expects to acquire and then to
transfer the Tampa System, along with certain other properties that it will
acquire from other managed partnerships, to an unaffiliated cable television
system operator during the first half of 1996, as discussed below.

         On August 11, 1995, the General Partner entered into an asset exchange
agreement (the "TWEAN Exchange Agreement") with Time Warner
Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership ("TWEAN"), an unaffiliated cable





                                      6

television system operator.  Pursuant to the TWEAN Exchange Agreement, Jones
Cable Holdings, Inc. will convey to TWEAN the Tampa System along with certain
other properties and cash in the amount of $3,500,000, subject to normal
closing adjustments.  In return, Jones Cable Holdings, Inc. will receive from
TWEAN the cable television systems serving Andrews Air Force Base, Capitol
Heights, Cheltenham, District Heights, Fairmount Heights, Forest Heights,
Morningside, Seat Pleasant, Upper Marlboro, and portions of Prince George's
County, all in Maryland, and portions of Fairfax County, Virginia.

         The pro forma effect of the sale of the Tampa System on the results of
the Venture's operations for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1995
and 1994, assuming the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the
periods, is presented in the following unaudited tabulation:

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

         For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Venture generated
net cash from operating activities totaling approximately $12,440,000, which is
available to fund capital expenditures and non-operating costs.  Capital
expenditures for the Venture totaled approximately $15,754,000 during the first
nine months of 1995.  These capital improvements were funded by cash on hand,
cash generated from operations, borrowings from the Venture's credit facility,
and advances from the General Partner.  Service drops to homes accounted for
approximately 49 percent of capital expenditures.  Approximately 23 percent
were for an upgrade of the Albuquerque system.  The remaining expenditures
related to various system enhancements in all of the Venture's systems.
Expected capital expenditures for the remainder of 1995 are approximately
$1,200,000.  Service drops to homes are anticipated to account for
approximately 61 percent of the expenditures.  The remainder of the
expenditures relates to 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, if necessary, in its discretion,
advances from the General Partner.

         In August 1995, the Venture entered into a purchase and sale agreement
pursuant to which it agreed to sell its Tampa, Florida system (the "Tampa
System") to the General Partner for a sales price of $110,395,667, subject to
working capital adjustments.  This price is the average of three separate,
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Tampa System.  The
General Partner has assigned its rights and obligations under the purchase and
sale agreement to Jones Cable Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
General Partner.  Closing of the sale is expected to occur during the first
half of 1996.  Although the Venture's current debt arrangements do not allow
the Venture to make distributions, on November 8, 1995, the General Partner
accepted commitments from two commercial banks that will, subject to
negotiation of satisfactory documentation, amend the Venture's existing debt
arrangements to permit a $55,200,000 distribution to the Venture's partners.
The Partnership's portion of this distribution would be approximately
$41,696,000, which would be distributed to limited partners.  This distribution
will give the Partnership's limited partners an approximate return of $353 for
each $1,000 invested in the Partnership.  Because the Tampa System does not
constitute all or substantially all of the Venture's assets, no vote of the
limited partners of the Partnership is required in connection with this
transaction.  Jones Cable Holdings, Inc. expects to acquire and then to
transfer the Tampa System, along with certain other properties that it will
acquire from other managed partnerships, to an unaffiliated cable television
system operator during the first half of 1996, as discussed below.

         On August 11, 1995, the General Partner entered into an asset exchange
agreement (the "TWEAN Exchange Agreement") with Time Warner
Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership ("TWEAN"), an unaffiliated cable
television system operator.  Pursuant to the TWEAN Exchange Agreement, Jones
Cable Holdings, Inc. will convey to TWEAN the Tampa System along with certain
other properties and cash in the amount of $3,500,000, subject to normal
closing adjustments.  In return, Jones Cable Holdings, Inc. will receive from
TWEAN the cable television systems serving Andrews Air Force Base, Capitol
Heights, Cheltenham, District Heights, Fairmount Heights, Forest Heights,
Morningside, Seat Pleasant, Upper Marlboro, and portions of Prince George's
County, all in Maryland, and portions of Fairfax County, Virginia.

         The Venture's debt arrangements currently consist of $93,000,000 of
Senior Notes placed with a group of institutional lenders and an $87,000,000
credit agreement with a group of commercial bank lenders.  However, as
discussed above, the General Partner has accepted commitments from two
commercial banks to amend the Venture's existing debt arrangements.  The
amendment will permit the Venture to distribute approximately $55,200,000 of
the Tampa System's sale proceeds and it will provide the Venture with
additional liquidity.

         The Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate of 8.64 percent and a
maturity date of March 31, 2000.  The Senior Notes call for interest only
payments through March 1996, 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
that protects the lenders in the event that prepaid funds are reinvested at a
rate below 8.64 percent.

         The balance outstanding on the Venture's existing credit agreement at
September 30, 1995 was $87,000,000.  Under terms of this credit facility, the
loan will convert to a term loan on March 31, 1996 with quarterly installments
beginning September 30, 1996 and a final payment due March 31, 2000.  However,
the proposed amendment discussed above will amend the existing amortization
schedule such that the amended credit facility will mature on December 31, 1999
with no principal payments required prior to such date.  Interest on the
amended credit facility shall be at the Venture's option of the London
Interbank Offered Rate plus .0625 percent to 1.125 percent or the Base Rate
plus 0 percent to .125 percent.  The effective interest rates on amounts
outstanding on the Venture's existing credit facility as of September 30, 1995
and 1994 were 7.38 percent and 6.44 percent, respectively.

         Both lending facilities are equal, and will continue to be equal, in
standing with the other, and both are equally secured by the assets of the
Venture.

         The General Partner presently believes that cash flows from operations
and, in its discretion, advances from the General Partner, will be sufficient
to fund capital expenditures and other liquidity needs of the Venture until the
refinancing of the debt arrangements and the closing of the sale of the Tampa
System.

Regulatory Matters

         The FCC's rate regulations related to the 1992 Cable Act contain
provisions for increasing rates for added channels, external costs and
inflation.  The Venture has been able to adjust rates recently under such
provisions.  Such adjustments, together with a reduction in the cost of
implementing the 1992 Cable Act compared to such costs in prior periods, are
expected to cause the Venture's revenue and cash flow to increase in fiscal
1996.

         Currently, there is legislation before Congress which, if enacted,
would significantly change the regulatory environment in which the cable
industry operates.  Such legislation may eliminate rate regulation and allow
telephone companies and others much broader entry into the cable television
business and, in turn, may allow cable operators into the telephone and other
telecommunications businesses.  While the General Partner is encouraged by
provisions of the legislation, it is too early to assess the impact such
legislation, if enacted, would have on the Venture.


                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Revenues in the Venture's systems totaled $25,684,165 for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $23,044,158 for the three months
ended September 30, 1994, an increase of $2,640,007, or approximately 11
percent.  For the nine month periods ended September 30, revenues totaled
$75,237,447 in 1995 compared to $68,690,849 in 1994, an increase of $6,546,598,
or approximately 10 percent.  Since September 30, 1994, the Venture has added
12,431 basic subscribers representing an increase of approximately 6 percent.
Basic subscribers increased to 235,248 at September 30, 1995 from 222,817 at
September 30, 1994.  This increase in the subscriber base accounted for
approximately 32 and 41 percent, respectively, of the three and nine month
increases in revenues.  Basic service rate adjustments accounted for
approximately 33 percent and pay per view revenue accounted for approximately
21 percent of the three month increase.  Basic service rate adjustments
primarily accounted for the remainder of the increases for the nine month
period.  No other single factor significantly affected the increases in
revenues.

         Operating expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the
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
system maintenance expenses and consumer marketing expenses.

         Operating expenses in the Venture's systems totaled $15,089,829 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $13,917,034 for the
similar 1994 period, an increase of $1,172,795, or approximately 8 percent.
For the nine month periods ended September 30, operating expenses totaled
$43,747,151 in 1995 compared to $41,274,181 in 1994, an increase of $2,472,970,
or approximately 6 percent.  Operating expenses represented 59 percent and 58
percent of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
respectively, compared to 60 percent for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1994.  Increased programming costs primarily accounted for the
increases in operating expenses for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995.  No other individual factor contributed significantly to
the increases in operating expenses.

         Management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner
totaled $2,966,946 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 compared to
$2,716,895 for the similar 1994 period, an increase of $250,051, or
approximately 9 percent.  For the nine month periods ended September 30,
management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner totaled
$8,925,505 in 1995 compared to $8,413,202 in 1994, an increase of $512,303, or
approximately 6 percent.  These increases were primarily due to the increases
in revenues, upon which such management fees are based, as well as increases in
allocated expenses from the General Partner.  The General Partner has
experienced increases in expenses, a portion of which is allocated to the
Venture.

         Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $6,742,379 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 compared to $5,955,556 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1994, an increase of $786,823, or approximately 13 percent.  For
the nine month periods ended September 30, depreciation and amortization
totaled $20,106,760 in 1995 compared to $18,488,878 in 1994, an increase of
$1,617,882, or approximately 9 percent.  These increases were due primarily to
capital additions during 1994.

         The Venture reported operating income of $885,011 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1995 compared to operating income of $454,673 for
the similar 1994 period, an increase of $430,338.  For the nine month periods
ended September 30, the Venture's operating income totaled $2,458,031 in 1995
compared to $514,588 in 1994, an increase of $1,943,443.  These increases were
due to the increases in revenues exceeding the increases in operating expenses,
management fees and allocated overhead expenses from the General Partner and
depreciation and amortization expense.

         The cable television industry generally measures the performance of a
cable television system in terms of cash flow or operating income before
depreciation and amortization.  The value of a cable television system is often
determined using multiples of cash flow.  This measure is not intended to be a
substitute or improvement upon the items disclosed on the financial statements,
rather it is included because it is an industry standard.  Operating income
before depreciation and amortization totaled $7,627,390 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995 compared to $6,410,229 for the similar 1994 period, an
increase of $1,217,161, or approximately 19 percent.  For the nine month
periods ended September 30, operating income before depreciation and
amortization totaled $22,564,791 in 1995 compared to $19,003,466 in 1994, an
increase of $3,561,325, or approximately 19 percent.  These increases were due
to the increases in revenues exceeding the increases in operating expenses and
management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner.

         Interest expense totaled $3,678,727 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 compared to $3,364,650 for the similar 1994 period, an
increase of $314,077, or approximately 9 percent.  For the nine month periods
ended September 30, interest expense totaled $11,594,350 in 1995 compared to
$9,680,988 in 1994, an increase of $1,913,362, or approximately 20 percent.
These increases were due primarily to higher balances on interest bearing
obligations and higher effective interest rates.

         Net loss totaled $2,844,115 for the three months ended September 30,
1995 compared to $2,840,520 for the similar 1994 period, an increase of $3,595.
For the nine month periods ended September 30, net loss totaled $9,107,269 in
1995 compared to $9,188,068 in 1994, a decrease of $80,799.  These changes were
due to the factors discussed above.

                         PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         On September 20, 1995, a civil action titled David Hirsch, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, Plaintiff vs. Jones Intercable,
Inc., Defendant, was filed in the District Court, County of Arapahoe, State of
Colorado (Case No. 95-CV-1800).  These legal proceedings relate to the August
1995 purchase and sale agreement between the Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the
"Venture"), a Colorado joint venture in which Cable TV Fund 12-B, Ltd., Cable
TV Fund 12-C, Ltd., and Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd., Colorado limited
partnerships, are general partners, and Jones Intercable, Inc. ("Intercable"),
pursuant to which the Venture agreed to sell to Intercable the Tampa, Florida
cable television system (the "Tampa System") owned by the Venture.  Intercable
is the general partner of each of Cable TV Fund 12-B, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 12-C,
Ltd. and Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd.  The plaintiff, a limited partner in Cable TV
Fund 12- D, Ltd., has brought the action styled as a class action on behalf of
himself and all other limited partners of Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd. against
Intercable seeking to recover damages caused by Intercable's alleged breaches
of its fiduciary duties to the limited partners of Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd. in
connection with the sale of the Tampa System by the Venture to Intercable.  The
complaint also requests unspecified injunctive relief.  Intercable believes
that it has meritorious defenses, and Intercable intends to defend this lawsuit
vigorously.

         a)  Exhibits

             27) Financial Data Schedule

         b)  Reports on Form 8-K

                 Report on Form 8-K dated September 20, 1995 reported that in
             August 1995, Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture"), a
             Colorado joint venture in which Cable TV Fund 12-B, Ltd., Cable TV
             Fund 12-C, Ltd. and Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd., Colorado limited
             partnerships, are general partners, entered into a purchase and
             sale agreement pursuant to which the Venture agreed to sell the
             Tampa, Florida cable television system (the "Tampa System") to
             Jones Intercable, Inc. ("Intercable").  Intercable is the general
             partner of each of Cable TV Fund 12-B, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 12-C,
             Ltd. and Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd. Closing of the purchase of the
             Tampa System by Intercable is expected to occur in early 1996. 
             Upon closing, Intercable anticipates exchanging the Tampa System
             with an unaffiliated cable television operator in return for
             systems owned by that operator.  On September 20, 1995, a civil
             action entitled David Hirsch, on behalf of himself and all others
             similarly situated, Plaintiff vs. Jones Intercable, Inc.,
             Defendant, was filed in the District Court, County of Arapahoe,
             State of Colorado (Case No. 95-CV-1800).  The Plaintiff has brought
             the action as a class action on behalf of himself and all other
             limited partners of Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd. (the "Partnership")
             against Intercable seeking to recover damages caused by
             Intercable's alleged breaches of its fiduciary duties to the
             limited partners of the Partnership in connection with the sale to
             Intercable of the Tampa System.  The complaint also requests
             unspecified injunctive relief. Intercable believes that it has
             meritorious defenses, and Intercable intends to defend this lawsuit
             vigorously.
