                        --------------------------------
                            (A Limited Partnership)

                    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 fair presentation of the Balance Sheets and
Statements of Operations and Cash Flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

     Jones Intercable Investors, L.P. (the "Partnership") owned and operated the
cable television system serving areas in and around Independence, Missouri (the
"Independence System"), which was sold on August 31, 1997.  Jones Intercable,
Inc., a publicly held Colorado corporation, is the "General Partner."  Because
the Partnership will be dissolved before the end of 1997, this Form 10-Q will be
the Partnership's last periodic report to be filed with the SEC.

(2)  On August 31, 1997, the Partnership sold its Independence System to Jones
Cable Holdings II, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner, for a
sales price of $171,213,667, which represented the average of three independent
appraisals of the fair market value of the Independence System. Trading of the
Partnership's Class A Units on the American Stock Exchange ceased at the close 
of business on August 29, 1997 and the Partnership's transfer agent closed the 
Partnership's transfer books on that date and no further transfers were allowed
after that date. The Partnership repaid its $35,000,000 outstanding balance on
its credit facility and paid a 2.5 percent brokerage fee of $4,280,342 to The
Jones Group, Ltd., a subsidiary of the General Partner, for acting as broker in
this transaction. The Partnership distributed the balance of the sale proceeds,
plus cash on hand and interest income, totaling $134,410,504 (or $16.15 per
Class A Unit) to its Class A Unitholders of record as of August 31, 1997 on
September 15, 1997. Because this distribution plus previous distributions made
to Class A Unitholders did not equal the preferred return to the limited
partners set forth in the Partnership Agreement, there was no General Partner
distribution related to this transaction. Since the Independence System was the
Partnership's only remaining asset, the Partnership has been liquidated and will
be dissolved by December 31, 1997.

(3)  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1997
presentation.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
     On August 31, 1997, the Partnership sold its Independence System to Jones
Cable Holdings II, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner, for a
sales price of $171,213,667, which represented the average of three independent
appraisals of the fair market value of the Independence System. Trading of the
Partnership's Class A Units on the American Stock Exchange ceased at the close 
of business on August 29, 1997 and the Partnership's transfer agent closed the 
Partnership's transfer books on that date and no further transfers were allowed
after that date. The Partnership repaid its $35,000,000 outstanding balance on
its credit facility and paid a 2.5 percent brokerage fee of $4,280,342 to The

plus cash on hand and interest income, totaling $134,410,504 (or $16.15 per
Class A Unit) to its Class A Unitholders of record as of August 31, 1997 on
September 15, 1997. Because this distribution plus previous distributions made
to Class A Unitholders did not equal the preferred return to the limited
partners set forth in the Partnership Agreement, there was no General Partner
distribution related to this transaction. Since the Independence System was the
Partnership's only remaining asset, the Partnership has been liquidated and will
be dissolved by December 31, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

     The Partnership sold its Independence System on August 31, 1997.  The
Partnership has been liquidated and will be dissolved by December 31, 1997.
