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 15-A, Ltd.
(the "Partnership") at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and its Statements
of Operations and Cash Flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000
and 1999. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with
the 2000 presentation.
The Partnership has sold all of its cable television systems. The
Partnership will be dissolved after the pending litigation in which the
Partnership is a named defendant has been resolved and terminated.
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. Comcast
JOIN Holdings, Inc. continues as the surviving corporation of the merger. As a
result of this transaction, Jones Intercable no longer exists and Comcast JOIN
Holdings, Inc. is now the general partner of the Partnership. References in
these Notes to "the General Partner" refer to Comcast JOIN Holdings, Inc. 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 operating costs
during the periods that the Partnership operated its cable television systems.
Subsequent to the sale of the Partnership's final cable television system, such
costs were charged to other expense. Reimbursements by the Partnership to the
general partner for overhead and administrative expenses for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were $29,260 and $387,292, respectively.
