                    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, 2000 and December
31, 1999, its Statements of Operations for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 and its Statements of Cash Flows for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.

     The Partnership has sold all of its cable television systems. The
Partnership has continued in existence because of pending litigation, in which
the Partnership is a party. The General Partner cannot predict when the
Partnership will be dissolved.

     On April 7, 1999, Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") completed the acquisition
of a controlling interest in Jones Intercable, Inc. ("Jones Intercable"), the
Partnership's general partner until March 2, 2000. In December 1999, Comcast and
Jones Intercable entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which
Comcast agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Jones Intercable not
yet owned by Comcast. On March 2, 2000, Jones Intercable was merged with and
into Comcast JOIN Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast. As a
result of this transaction, Jones Intercable no longer exists and Comcast JOIN
Holdings, Inc. continued as the surviving corporation of the merger. On July 28,
2000, Comcast JOIN Holdings, Inc. was merged with and into Comcast Cable
Communications, Inc. ("Comcast Cable"), another wholly owned subsidiary of
Comcast. Comcast Cable is now the general partner of the Partnership. References
in these Notes to "the General Partner" refer to Comcast Cable. The General
Partner shares corporate offices with Comcast at 1500 Market Street,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102-2148.

(2)  The Partnership reimburses its general partner 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
until the Partnership is dissolved. Such costs were charged to other expense on
the Statements of Operations. Reimbursements made to the general partner by the
Partnership for administrative expenses were $6,891 and $19,212 for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $100 and
$201 respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

     Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. (as successor-in-interest to Jones
Intercable, Inc.), each of its subsidiaries that serve as general partners of
its managed cable partnerships and most of its managed cable partnerships,
including the Partnership, are named defendants in a case captioned Everest
                                                                    -------
Cable Investors, LLC, Everest Properties, LLC, Everest Properties II, LLC, KM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investments, LLC and KH Financial, Inc., plaintiffs v. Jones Intercable, Inc.,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
et al., defendants (Superior Court, Los Angeles County, State of California,
------------------
Case No. BC 213632), which was first filed in July 1999.

     Plaintiffs allege that they had formed a coordinated plan amongst
themselves to acquire up to 4.9% of the limited partnership interests in each of
the managed partnerships named as defendants, and that plaintiffs were
frustrated in this purpose by Jones Intercable's refusal to provide plaintiffs
with lists of the names and addresses of the limited partners of these
partnerships. The complaint alleges that Jones Intercable's actions constituted
a breach of contract, a breach of Jones Intercable's implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing owed to the plaintiffs as limited partners, a breach of
Jones Intercable's fiduciary duty owed to the plaintiffs as limited partners and
tortious interference with prospective economic advantage. Plaintiffs allege
that Jones Intercable's failure to provide them with the partnership lists
prevented them from making their tender offers and that they have been injured
by such action in an amount to be proved at trial, but not less than $17
million.

     In September 1999, the defendants filed demurrers to the plaintiffs'
complaint and a hearing on this matter was held in October 1999. In December
1999, the Court sustained the defendants' demurrers to each cause of action on
the grounds of uncertainty, but permitted the plaintiffs to amend their
complaint to attempt to cure the deficiencies in the pleadings that caused the
Court to sustain the demurrers. The plaintiffs filed their first amended
complaint in January 2000. In March 2000, the defendants filed demurrers to the
plaintiffs' first amended complaint and a hearing on the matter was held in
April 2000. In May 2000, the Court issued a ruling that sustained the
defendants' demurrers without leave to amend as to all plaintiffs except KM
Investments, LLC, and it sustained the defendants' demurrers with leave to amend
as to plaintiff KM Investments, LLC, and KM Investments, LLC has filed a second
amended complaint to attempt to cure the deficiencies in the pleadings.
Plaintiffs have stated an intention to appeal the rulings sustaining the
demurrers to the first amended complaint.

     Discovery in the case also has begun, and the defendants have responded to
the plaintiffs' first set of interrogatories and to the plaintiffs' first demand
for the production of documents. Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. believes
that the defendants have defenses to the plaintiffs' claims for relief and
challenges to the plaintiffs' claims for damages, and Comcast Cable
Communications, Inc. intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
