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 Jones Spacelink
Income/Growth Fund 1-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") at June 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998 and its results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 and its cash flows for the six month periods ended June
30, 1999 and 1998.
The Partnership owned and operated the cable television systems serving the
areas in and around the communities of Bluffton, Decatur, Monroe, Auburn,
Butler, Uniondale, Waterloo, Poneto, Vera Cruz and Garrett, and portions of the
unincorporated areas of Wells, Allen, Noble, Adams and DeKalb Counties, all in
the State of Indiana (the "Northeast Indiana Systems") until they were sold on
June 30, 1998. Jones Intercable, Inc., a publicly held Colorado corporation, is
the "General Partner" and manages the Partnership.
On April 7, 1999, Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") completed the acquisition
of a controlling interest in the General Partner. As of April 7, 1999, Comcast
owned approximately 12.8 million shares of the General Partner's Class A Common
Stock and approximately 2.9 million shares of the General Partner's Common
Stock, representing approximately 37% of the economic interest and 47% of the
voting interest in the General Partner. Also on that date, Comcast contributed
its shares in the General Partner to Comcast's wholly owned subsidiary, Comcast
Cable Communications, Inc. ("Comcast Cable"). The approximately 2.9 million
shares of Common Stock of the General Partner owned by Comcast represents
approximately 57% of the outstanding Common Stock, which class of stock is
entitled to elect 75% of the Board of Directors of the General Partner. As a
result of this transaction, the General Partner is now a consolidated public
company subsidiary of Comcast Cable.
Also on April 7, 1999, the bylaws of the General Partner were amended to
establish the size of the General Partner's Board of Directors as a range from
eight to thirteen directors and the board was reconstituted so as to have eight
directors and the following directors of the General Partner resigned: Robert E.
Cole, Josef J. Fridman, James J. Krejci, James B. O'Brien, Raphael M. Solot,
Robert Kearney, Howard O. Thrall, Siim Vanaselja, Sanford Zisman and Glenn R.
Jones. In addition, Donald L. Jacobs resigned as a director elected by the
holders of Class A Common Stock and was elected by the remaining directors as a
director elected by the holders of Common Stock. The remaining directors elected
the following persons to fill the vacancies on the board created by such
resignations: Ralph J. Roberts, Brian L. Roberts, John R. Alchin, Stanley Wang
and Lawrence S. Smith. All of the newly elected directors, with the exception of
Mr. Jacobs, are officers of Comcast. Also on April 7, 1999, the following
executive officers of the General Partner resigned: Glenn R. Jones, James B.
O'Brien, Ruth E. Warren, Kevin P. Coyle, Cynthia A. Winning, Elizabeth M.
Steele, Wayne H. Davis and Larry W. Kaschinske. The following persons were
appointed as executive officers of the General Partner on April 7, 1999: Ralph
J. Roberts, Brian L. Roberts, Lawrence S. Smith, John R. Alchin and Stanley
Wang.
Comcast is principally engaged in the development, management and
operation of broadband cable networks and in the provision of content through
programming investments. Comcast Cable is principally engaged in the
development, management and operation of broadband cable networks. The address
of Comcast's principal office is 1500 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
19102-2148, which is also now the address of the General Partner's principal
office. The address of Comcast Cable's principal office is 1201 Market Street,
Suite 2201, Wilmington, Delaware 19801.
(2) On June 30, 1998, the Partnership sold the Northeast Indiana Systems, its
only remaining operating assets, to an unaffiliated party for a sales price of
$23,500,000. From the sale proceeds, the Partnership repaid all of its
indebtedness, settled working capital adjustments, deposited $1,000,000 into an
interest-bearing indemnity escrow account and distributed remaining net sale
proceeds to its limited partners.
For a period of one year following the closing date, $1,000,000 of the sale
proceeds remained in escrow as security for the Partnership's agreement to
indemnify the buyer under the asset purchase agreement. The escrow period
expired on June 30, 1999, and no claims were made on the escrowed funds by the
buyer. From the escrowed funds, the Partnership will pay its remaining
liabilities, which totaled $111,897 at June 30, 1999, and it will hold the
balance to cover the expenses of the Partnership until the Partnership is
liquidated and dissolved. It will distribute any remaining balance to the
Partnership's limited partners only after the pending litigation in which the
Partnership is a named defendant has been resolved and terminated (See Part II,
Item 1).
Although the sale of the Northeast Indiana Systems represented the sale of
the only remaining operating assets of the Partnership, the Partnership will not
be dissolved until the pending litigation in which the Partnership is a named
defendant has been resolved and terminated.
(3) The General Partner manages the Partnership and received a fee for its
services equal to 5 percent of the gross revenues of the Partnership, excluding
revenues from the sale of cable television systems or franchises. Management
fees paid to the General Partner by the Partnership for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998 were $73,525 and $145,978, respectively. The General
Partner has not received and will not receive a management fee after June 30,
1998.
The Partnership will continue to reimburse the General Partner and certain
of its subsidiaries for certain administrative expenses. These expenses
represent the salaries and related benefits paid for corporate personnel. Such
personnel provide administrative, accounting, tax, legal, and investor relations
services to the Partnership. Such services, and their related costs, are
necessary to the administration of the Partnership. Reimbursements made to the
General Partner by the Partnership for overhead and administrative expenses for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 were $101 and $201,
respectively, compared to $95,454 and $181,831, respectively, for the similar
1998 periods.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
On June 30, 1998, the Partnership sold the Northeast Indiana Systems, its
only remaining operating assets, to an unaffiliated party for a sales price of
$23,500,000. From the sale proceeds, the Partnership repaid all of its
indebtedness, settled working capital adjustments, deposited $1,000,000 into an
interest-bearing indemnity escrow account and distributed remaining net sale
proceeds to its limited partners.
For a period of one year following the closing date, $1,000,000 of the sale
proceeds remained in escrow as security for the Partnership's agreement to
indemnify the buyer under the asset purchase agreement. The escrow period
expired on June 30, 1999, and no claims were made on the escrowed funds by the
buyer. From the escrowed funds, the Partnership will pay its remaining
liabilities, which totaled $111,897 at June 30, 1999, and it will hold the
balance to cover the expenses of the Partnership until the Partnership is
liquidated and dissolved. It will distribute any remaining balance to the
Partnership's limited partners only after the pending litigation in which the
Partnership is a named defendant has been resolved and terminated (See Part II,
Item 1).
Although the sale of the Northeast Indiana Systems represented the sale of
the only remaining operating assets of the Partnership, the Partnership will not
be dissolved until the pending litigation in which the Partnership is a named
defendant has been resolved and terminated.
Because the Partnership has sold all of its assets and further
distributions, if any, will be made to the limited partners of record as of the
closing date of the sale of the Partnership's last remaining cable television
system, new limited partners would not be entitled to any distributions from the
Partnership and transfers of limited partnership interests would have no
economic or practical value. The General Partner therefore has determined, in
accordance with the authority granted to it under Section 3.5 of the
Partnership's limited partnership agreement, that it will not process any
transfers of limited partnership interests in the Partnership during the
remainder of the Partnership's term.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Due to the Northeast Indiana Systems sale on June 30, 1998, which were the
Partnership's last remaining operating assets, a discussion of the results of
operations would not be meaningful.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In July 1999, the General Partner, each of its subsidiaries that serve
as general partners of managed public partnerships and most of its managed
public partnerships, including the Partnership, were named defendants in a case
styled Everest Cable Investors, LLC, Everest Properties, LLC, Everest Properties
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
II, LLC and KM Investments, LLC, plaintiffs v. Jones Intercable, Inc., et al.,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
defendants (Superior Court, Los Angeles County, State of California, Case No.
- ----------
C213638). Plaintiffs, all of which are affiliated with each other, are in the
business of, among other things, investing in limited partnerships that own and
operate cable television systems. Plaintiffs allege that one of the plaintiffs
has been a limited partner or has obtained a valid power-of-attorney from a
limited partner in each of the General Partner's managed public partnerships and
that they had formed a coordinated plan amongst themselves to acquire up to 4.9%
of the limited partnership interests in each of the General Partner's managed
public partnerships during the latter half of 1996. Plaintiffs' complaint
alleges that they were frustrated in this purpose by the General Partner's
refusal to provide plaintiffs with lists of the names and addresses of the
limited partners of the General Partner's managed public partnerships. The
complaint alleges that the General Partner's actions constituted a breach of
contract, a breach of the General Partner's implied covenant of good faith and
fair dealing owed to the plaintiffs as limited partners, a breach of the General
Partner's fiduciary duty owed to the plaintiffs as limited partners and tortious
interference with prospective economic advantage. Plaintiffs allege that the
General Partner's failure to provide them with the partnership lists prevented
them from making their tender offers and the plaintiffs claim that they have
been injured by such action in an amount to be proved at trial, but not less
than $17 million. Given the fact that this case was only recently filed and that
the time for the General Partner's response to the complaint has not yet
expired, the General Partner has not yet responded to this complaint. The
General Partner believes, however, that it and the defendant subsidiaries and
managed public partnerships have defenses to the plaintiffs' claims for relief,
and the General Partner intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously both on its
own behalf and on behalf of its subsidiaries and its managed public
partnerships.
