             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 IDS/Jones Growth Partners
II, L.P. (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 financial statements include 100 percent of the
accounts of the Partnership and those of IDS/Jones Joint Venture Partners (the
"Venture") including the cable television systems serving the areas in and
around Aurora, Illinois, reduced by the minority interest in the Venture.  All
interpartnership accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

(2)      Jones Cable Corporation (the "Managing General Partner") 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 paid to the
Managing General Partner by the Venture for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1995 were $212,350 and $627,421, respectively, compared to
$193,321 and $572,686, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1994.

         IDS Cable II Corporation (the "Supervising General Partner") and IDS
Cable Corporation (the supervising general partner of IDS/Jones Growth Partners
89-B) participate in certain management decisions of the Venture and receive a
fee for their services equal to one-half percent of the gross revenues of the
Venture, excluding revenues from the sale of cable television systems or
franchises.  Supervision fees for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 were $21,235 and $62,742, respectively, compared to $19,332
and $57,269, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1994.

         The Venture reimburses Jones Intercable, Inc. ("JIC"), the parent of
the Managing General Partner, for certain allocated overhead and administrative
expenses.  These expenses represent the salaries and related benefits paid for
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 primarily on actual time
spent by employees of JIC 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 systems owned or managed by JIC and certain
of its affiliates.  Systems owned by JIC and all other systems owned by
partnerships for which JIC is the general partner are also allocated a
proportionate share of these expenses.  JIC believes that the methodology used
in allocating overhead and administrative expenses is reasonable.
Reimbursements to JIC for allocated overhead and administrative expenses during
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 were $292,694 and
$887,725, respectively, compared to $263,500 and $839,769, respectively, for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1994.  The Supervising
General Partner may also be reimbursed for certain expenses incurred on behalf
of the Partnership.  There were no reimbursements made to the Supervising
General Partner for allocated overhead and administrative expenses during the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

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

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

         The Partnership owns an approximate 66 percent interest in IDS/Jones
Joint Venture Partners (the "Venture").  The accompanying financial statements
include the accounts of the Partnership and the Venture, reduced by the
approximate 34 percent minority interest in the Venture.  The Venture owns the
cable television system serving certain areas in and around Aurora, Illinois.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Venture generated
net cash from operating activities totaling $481,892, which is available to
fund capital expenditures and non-operating costs.  During the first nine
months of 1995, the Venture expended approximately $2,668,000 on capital
expenditures.  Approximately 47 percent of the expenditures related to plant
extensions.  Approximately 31 percent of the expenditures related to
construction of service drops to subscriber homes.  The remainder of the
expenditures were used for various enhancements in the Aurora System.  Funding
for these expenditures was provided by borrowings from the Venture's credit
facility and cash generated from operations.  Anticipated capital expenditures
for the remainder of 1995 are approximately $587,000.  Approximately 68 percent
of the expenditures are for plant extensions.  Approximately 23 percent of the
expenditures are for construction of service drops to subscriber homes.
Funding for the expenditures is expected to be provided by cash on hand, cash
generated from operations and borrowings from the Venture's credit facility.

         On December 5, 1991, Jones Intercable, Inc. ("JIC") made an equity
investment in the Venture in the amount of $2,872,000 and a loan of $1,800,000
to the Venture.  On that date, IDS Management Corporation also made an equity
investment of $2,872,000 in the Venture and a loan to the Venture in the amount
of $1,800,000.  A portion of the $1,800,000 loan from IDS Management
Corporation has been repaid.  See discussion below.  The loans from JIC and IDS
Management Corporation are subordinate to the Venture's revolving credit and
term loan.  These loans matured in the fourth quarter of 1994.  IDS Management
Corporation extended its loan until December 5, 1995 and, although JIC has not
formally extended its loan, it has not demanded repayment.  In the first
quarter of 1994, JIC agreed to subordinate to all other Venture debt the
$1,406,647 advance to the Venture outstanding at March 30, 1994 and IDS
Management Corporation made an additional loan of $1,000,000 to the Venture to
fund principal repayments due at the end of March 1994 on the Venture's
then-outstanding term loan.  The interest rates on the respective loans, which
will vary from time to time, with respect to IDS Management Corporation's
loans, are at its cost of borrowing, and, with respect to JIC's loans, are at
its weighted average cost of borrowing.  It is anticipated that the remaining
loans will be repaid over time with borrowings from the Venture's revolving
credit and term loan, as discussed below.  If the December 5, 1991 loans are
not fully repaid, JIC and IDS Management Corporation, respectively, will have
the right, among other rights, to convert the unpaid portion of these loans to
equity in the Venture.

         In November 1994, the Venture entered into a revolving credit and term
loan agreement with a commercial bank.  This credit facility has a maximum
amount available of $45,000,000.  At September 30, 1995, $40,800,000 was
outstanding under this agreement, leaving $4,200,000 available for future needs
of the Venture.  Borrowings from this credit facility were used to repay the
balance of the Venture's previous term loan of $36,000,000, to repay to JIC
$1,000,000 advanced by JIC to fund the Venture's second quarter debt repayment
plus interest, to repay to IDS Management Corporation $880,000 of principal
plus interest on the $1,800,000 loan from IDS Management Corporation dated
December 5, 1991, to pay certain fees incurred in obtaining the new credit
facility and to provide liquidity for capital expenditures.  During the second
quarter of 1995, the Venture repaid IDS Management Corporation an additional
$120,000 of principal plus interest on the $1,800,000 loan dated December 5,
1991 leaving $800,000 of principal remaining to be repaid on this loan.  The
revolving credit period of the Venture's credit facility expires January 1,
1997, at which time the then-outstanding balance converts to a term loan
payable in 28 consecutive quarterly installments.  Interest on the new credit
facility is at the Venture's option of the Base Rate plus .75 percent, the
London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.75 percent or the Certificate of
Deposit Rate plus 1.875 percent.  The effective interest rates on outstanding
obligations to non-affiliates as of September 30, 1995 and 1994 were 7.73
percent and 6.10 percent, respectively.  The Venture anticipates repaying the
remaining notes outstanding to related parties with borrowings from this credit
facility.  As borrowings become available, subject to leverage covenants, the
related parties' notes will be repaid including accrued interest in the
following order:  first, to IDS Management Corporation the remaining $800,000
of the





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
$1,800,000 note dated December 5, 1991; second, to JIC the $1,800,000 note
dated December 5, 1991; third, to IDS Management Corporation the $1,000,000
note dated March 30, 1994; and fourth, to JIC the $1,406,647 subordinated
advance.

         In January 1995, the Venture entered into an interest rate protection
contract covering outstanding debt obligations of $25,000,000.  The Venture
paid a fee of $105,000.  The agreement protects the Venture from LIBOR interest
rates that exceed 9 percent for two years from the date of the agreement.  The
fee is being charged to interest expense over the life of the agreement using
the straight-line method.

         As a result of their equity contributions to the Venture, IDS
Management Corporation and JIC each have an approximate 5 percent equity
interest in the Venture, the Partnership has an approximate 66 percent interest
and IDS/Jones 89-B has an approximate 24 percent interest.  If any unpaid
portion of the December 5, 1991 subordinated loans are converted to equity, the
ownership percentages will be adjusted accordingly.

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 Managing 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 of the Venture totaled $4,247,004 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1995 compared to $3,866,424 for the comparable 1994 period,
an increase of $380,580, or approximately 10 percent.  Revenues totaled
$12,548,419 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to
$11,453,715 for the comparable 1994 period, an increase of $1,094,704, or
approximately 10 percent.  Increases in the subscriber base and basic service
rate adjustments primarily accounted for the increase in revenues for the three
and nine month periods.  An increase in the subscriber base accounted for
approximately 53 percent and 57 percent, respectively, of the increase in
revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995.  The
number of basic subscribers increased by 2,963 subscribers, or approximately 7
percent, from 40,008 at September 30, 1994 to 42,971 at September 30, 1995.
Basic service rate adjustments accounted for approximately 47 percent and 38
percent, respectively, of the increases in revenues for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1995.  No other individual factor was
significant to 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 totaled $2,453,694 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1995 compared to $2,173,770 for the comparable 1994 period, an
increase of $279,924, or approximately 13 percent.  Operating expenses totaled
$7,334,738 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $6,429,420
for the comparable 1994 period, an increase of $905,318, or approximately 14
percent.  Operating expenses represented 58 percent and 56 percent,
respectively, of revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1995 and 1994.  Increases in programming fees and personnel expenses, due
in part to the increase in the subscriber base, primarily accounted for the
increase in operating expenses for the three and nine month periods.  No other
individual factors contributed significantly to the increase.

         Management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partners
totaled $526,279 for the three month period ended September 30, 1995 compared
to $476,153 for the comparable 1994 period, an increase of $50,126, or

nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $1,469,724 for the comparable
1994 period, an increase of $108,164, or approximately 7 percent.  The
increases for the three and nine month periods were due to the increase in
revenues, upon which such management fees are based, as well as increases in
allocated expenses from JIC.  JIC has experienced increases in expenses, a
portion of which is allocated to the Venture.

         Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $2,466,310 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1995 compared to $2,651,059 for the comparable
1994 period, a decrease of $184,749, or approximately 7 percent.  Depreciation
and amortization expense totaled $7,872,219 for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 compared to $7,910,448 for the comparable 1994 period, a decrease of
$38,229, or less than 1 percent.  These decreases were primarily due to the
maturation of a portion of the asset base.

         Operating loss totaled $1,199,279 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1995 compared to $1,434,558 for the comparable 1994 period, a
decrease of $235,279, or approximately 16 percent.  Operating loss totaled
$4,236,426 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $4,355,877,
a decrease of $119,451, or approximately 3 percent.  The decreases for the
three and nine month periods were due to the increases in revenues and the
decreases in depreciation and amortization expense exceeding the increases in
operating expenses and management fees and allocated overhead from the General
Partners.

         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 expense totaled $1,267,031 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1995 compared to $1,216,501 for the comparable
1994 period, an increase of $50,530, or approximately 4 percent.  Operating
income before depreciation and amortization expense totaled $3,635,793 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $3,554,571 for the comparable
1994 period, an increase of $81,222, or approximately 2 percent.  The increases
for the three and nine month periods were due to the increases in revenues
exceeding the increases in operating expenses and management fees and allocated
overhead from the General Partners.

         Interest expense totaled $908,219 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1995 compared to $726,878 for the comparable 1994 period, an
increase of $181,341, or approximately 25 percent.  Interest expense totaled
$2,802,227 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $1,932,460
for the comparable 1994 period, an increase of $869,767, or approximately 45
percent.  The increases were due to higher effective interest rates and higher
outstanding balances on interest bearing obligations.

         The Venture's loss totaled $2,073,301 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1995 compared to $2,227,007 for the comparable 1994 period, a
decrease of $153,706, or approximately 7 percent.  Net loss totaled $7,043,759
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $6,451,151 for the
comparable 1994 period, an increase of $592,608, or approximately 9 percent.
These changes were due to the factors discussed above.  Such losses are
expected to continue.
