                         JONES GROWTH PARTNERS II L.P.
                         -----------------------------
                            (A Limited Partnership)

                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    ---------------------------------------

(1)  This Form 10-Q is being filed in conformity with the Securities and
Exchange Commission 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 of normal
recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Jones
Growth Partners II L.P. (the "Partnership") at June 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996, its results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1997 and 1996 and its statements of cash flows for the six month periods
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. Results of operations for these periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

     The Partnership owns and operates the cable television system serving the
areas in and around the communities of Yorba Linda, certain portions of Anaheim
Hills, and certain portions of unincorporated Orange County, all in the state of
California (the "Yorba Linda System").

     The Partnership was formed pursuant to a public offering of limited
partnership interests sponsored by Jones Spacelink Cable Corporation (the
"General Partner"). The General Partner is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jones
Intercable, Inc. ("Intercable"), a Colorado corporation. Intercable and certain
of its affiliates also own and operate cable television systems for their own
account and for the account of other managed limited partnerships.

(2) On August 16, 1996, the Partnership entered into an asset purchase agreement
providing for the sale of the Yorba Linda System by the Partnership to an
unaffiliated party (the "Purchaser") for a sales price of $36,000,000, subject
to normal closing adjustments. The sale was subject to the approval of the
holders of a majority of the limited partnership interests in the Partnership.
As of June 25, 1997, the holders of a majority of the limited partnership
interests had voted to approve the sale of the Yorba Linda System. Closing of
this sale nevertheless is still subject to the approval of the City of Yorba
Linda, which formally has disapproved the transfer of the Yorba Linda cable
television franchise to the Purchaser. The original outside closing date was
June 30, 1997 but the asset purchase agreement was amended on June 30, 1997 to
permit the Partnership and the Purchaser to continue to seek the required 
approval from the City of Yorba Linda to the transfer of the cable television
franchise to the Purchaser. The sale of the Yorba Linda System will not close if
such approval is not obtained and there can be no assurance that such approval
will be obtained. The Partnership or the Purchaser may terminate the asset
purchase agreement upon notice to the other if the required approval of the City
of Yorba Linda cannot be obtained.

     If the Yorba Linda System is sold, the Partnership will repay its
outstanding indebtedness, which totaled $12,470,250 at June 30, 1997, and then
the Partnership will distribute the sale proceeds, net of closing adjustments,
to its limited partners. Because limited partners will not receive distributions
in an amount equal to 100 percent of the capital initially contributed to the
Partnership by the limited partners plus an amount equal to 8 percent per annum,
cumulative and noncompounded, on an amount equal to their initial capital
contributions, the General Partner will not receive any of the sale proceeds if
the Yorba Linda System is sold. If the Yorba Linda System is sold to the
Purchaser, the limited partners of the Partnership, as a group, will receive
approximately $24,157,389. If the Yorba Linda System is sold to the Purchaser,
limited partners will receive from $1,095 to $1,355 for each $1,000 limited
partnership interest from the net proceeds of the Yorba Linda System's sale. The
specific amount of a limited partner's distribution will be dependent upon a
limited partner's date of investment.  If the Yorba Linda System is not sold to 
the Purchaser, the General Partner will seek to sell the Yorba Linda System to 
another party, but there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in 
the near term or at the price the Purchaser has agreed to pay.

(3)   The General Partner manages the Partnership and receives 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, 1997 were $101,943 and $204,977, respectively, compared
to $95,865 and $188,972 for the comparable periods in 1996.

     The Partnership reimburses the General Partner and certain of its
affiliates for certain allocated general and administrative costs.  These
expenses represent the salaries and related benefits paid for corporate
personnel, office rent and related facilities expense.  Such personnel provide
engineering, marketing, administrative, accounting, legal, and investor
relations services to the Partnership.  Such services, and their related costs,
are necessary to the operation of the Partnership and would have been incurred
by the Partnership if it was a stand alone entity.  Allocations of personnel
costs are based primarily on actual time spent by employees of the General
Partner and certain of its affiliates with respect to each partnership managed.
Remaining expenses are allocated based on the pro rata relationship of the
Partnership's 

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
revenues to the total revenues of all cable television systems owned or managed
by Intercable and certain of its affiliates. Systems owned by Intercable and all
other systems owned by partnerships for which Intercable is the general partner
are also allocated a proportionate share of these expenses. The General Partner
believes that the methodology used in allocating general and administrative
costs is reasonable. Reimbursements by the Partnership to the General Partner
for allocated general and administrative costs for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1997 were $124,217 and $272,299, respectively, compared
to $129,974 and $256,598 for the comparable periods in 1996.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

     On August 16, 1996, the Partnership entered into an asset purchase
agreement providing for the sale of the Yorba Linda System by the Partnership to
an unaffiliated party (the "Purchaser") for a sales price of $36,000,000,
subject to normal closing adjustments. The sale was subject to the approval of
the holders of a majority of the limited partnership interests in the
Partnership. As of June 25, 1997, the holders of a majority of the limited
partnership interests had voted to approve the sale of the Yorba Linda System.
Closing of this sale nevertheless is still subject to the approval of the City
of Yorba Linda, which formally has disapproved the transfer of the Yorba Linda
cable television franchise to the Purchaser. The original outside closing date
was June 30, 1997 but the asset purchase agreement was amended on June 30, 1997
to permit the Partnership and the Purchaser to continue to seek the required
approval from the City of Yorba Linda to the transfer of the cable television
franchise to the Purchaser. The sale of the Yorba Linda System will not close if
such approval is not obtained and there can be no assurance that such approval
will be obtained. The Partnership or the Purchaser may terminate the asset
purchase agreement upon notice to the other if the required approval of the City
of Yorba Linda cannot be obtained.

     If the Yorba Linda System is sold, the Partnership will repay its
outstanding indebtedness, which totaled $12,470,250 at June 30, 1997, and then
the Partnership will distribute the sale proceeds, net of closing adjustments,
to its limited partners.  Because limited partners will not receive
distributions in an amount equal to 100 percent of the capital initially
contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners plus an amount equal to 8
percent per annum, cumulative and noncompounded, on an amount equal to their
initial capital contributions, the General Partner will not receive any of the
sale proceeds if the Yorba Linda System is sold.  If the Yorba Linda System is
sold to the Purchaser, the limited partners of the Partnership, as a group, will
receive approximately $24,157,389.  If the Yorba Linda System is sold to the
Purchaser, limited partners will receive from $1,095 to $1,355 for each $1,000
limited partnership interest from the net proceeds of the Yorba Linda System's
sale.  The specific amount of a limited partner's distribution will be dependent
upon a limited partner's date of investment.  If the Yorba Linda System is not 
sold to the Purchaser, the General Partner will seek to sell the Yorba Linda 
System to another party, but there can be no assurance that it will be able to 
do so in the near term or at the price the Purchaser has agreed to pay.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership generated net cash
from operating activities of $1,652,397, which is available to fund capital
expenditures and non-operating costs. The Partnership's capital expenditures for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 totaled approximately $572,000.
Approximately 45 percent of the expenditures related to construction of service
drops to subscribers' homes.  Approximately 24 percent related to new plant
construction and approximately 18 percent of the expenditures related to the
purchase of converters.  The remainder of the expenditures related to various
enhancements in the Yorba Linda System.  Such expenditures were funded from cash
on hand and cash flow from operations.  As a result of the pending sale of the
Yorba Linda System, remaining budgeted capital expenditures for 1997, which
total approximately $1,003,000, will be only for various enhancements necessary
to maintain the value of the Yorba Linda System until it is sold.  These
expenditures will be funded from cash flow from operations and, if necessary and
in its discretion, advances from the General Partner.  Depending upon the timing
of the closing of the sale of the Yorba Linda System, the Partnership likely
will make only the portion of budgeted capital expenditures scheduled to be made
during the Partnership's continued ownership of the Yorba Linda System.

     At June 30, 1997, $12,470,250 was outstanding under the Partnership's term
loan agreement, which is payable in 24 consecutive quarterly installments that
began on March 31, 1997.  A total of $319,750 in principal payments were paid as
of June 30, 1997.  The principal payments due for the remainder of 1997 total
$319,750.  The loan will be repaid in full if and when the Yorba Linda System is
sold.  Generally, the interest on the outstanding principal balance is at the
Partnership's option of the Prime Rate plus 1/4 percent to 1/2 percent, or the
Eurodollar option plus 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 percent, depending upon the ratio of the
partnership debt to operating cash flow.  The effective interest rates on
amounts outstanding as of June 30, 1997 and 1996 were 6.94 percent and 7.01
percent, respectively.

     The Partnership will rely on cash on hand, cash flow from operations and,
if necessary and in its discretion, advances from the General Partner to fund
capital expenditures and other liquidity needs of the Partnership until the
Yorba Linda System is sold.

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

     Revenues of the Partnership increased $121,564, or approximately 6 percent,
to $2,038,864 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $1,917,300 for the
comparable 1996 period.  This increase in revenues was primarily due to basic
service rate increases and an increase in pay per view revenues, each of which
accounted for approximately 49 percent of the increase in revenues.  Revenues of
the partnership increased $320,114, or approximately 8 percent, to $4,099,544
for the six month period ended June 30, 1997, from $3,779,430 for the comparable
1996 period.  This increase in revenues was primarily due to basic service rate
increases and an increase in the number of basic subscribers.  Basic service
rate increases accounted for approximately 44 percent of the increase in
revenues and an increase in the number of basic subscribers accounted for
approximately 24 percent of the increase in revenues.  The number of basic
subscribers increased 422, or approximately 3 percent, to 17,224 subscribers at
June 30, 1997 from 16,802 subscribers at June 30, 1996.  No other individual
factor was significant to the increases in revenues.

     Operating expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the
administration of the Partnership'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 marketing expenses.

     Operating expenses increased $31,466, or approximately 3 percent, to
$1,104,792 for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to $1,073,326
for the comparable 1996 period.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997,
operating expenses increased $116,674, or approximately 6 percent, to $2,210,720
from $2,094,046 for the comparable 1996 period.  These increases in operating
expenses were primarily due to increases in programming costs.  Operating
expenses accounted for approximately 54 percent and 56 percent of revenues for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and approximately 54 percent and
55 percent of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  No
other individual factor significantly affected the increase in operating
expenses.

     The cable television industry generally measures the financial performance
of a cable television system in terms of operating cash flow (revenues less
operating expenses). 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 cash flow increased
$90,098, or approximately 11 percent, to $934,072 for the three month period
ended June 30, 1997 from $843,974 for the comparable period in 1996. For the six
month period ended June 30, 1997, operating cash flow increased $203,440, or
approximately 12 percent, to $1,888,824 from $1,685,384 for the comparable
period in 1996. These increases were due to the increases in revenues exceeding
the increases in operating expenses.

     Management fees and allocated administrative costs from the General Partner
increased $321, or less than one percent, to $226,160 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 from $225,839 for the similar period in 1996.  Management fees and
allocated administrative costs from the General Partner increased $31,706, or
approximately 7 percent, to $477,276 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from
$445,570 for the similar period in 1996.  These increases were primarily due to
the increases in revenues, upon which such management fees are based.

     Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $82,410, or approximately 8
percent, to $918,344 for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 from
$1,000,754 for the similar period in 1996.  Depreciation and amortization
expense decreased $124,024, or approximately 6 percent, to $1,877,377 for the
six month period ended June 30, 1997 from $2,001,401 for the similar period in
1996.  These decreases were due to the maturation of the Partnership's
depreciable asset base.

     Operating loss decreased $172,187, or approximately 45 percent, to $210,432
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $382,619 for the similar 1996
period.  Operating loss decreased $295,758, or approximately 39 percent, to
$465,829 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $761,587 for the similar
1996 period.  These decreases were due to the increases in revenues and the
decreases in depreciation and amortization expenses exceeding the increases in
operating expenses and management fees and allocated administrative costs from
the General Partner.

     Interest expense decreased $13,207, or approximately 6 percent, to $213,524
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $226,731 for the comparable
1996 period.  Interest expense decreased $37,354, or approximately 8 percent, to
$428,746 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to $466,100 for
the comparable 1996 period.  These decreases were due to lower outstanding
balances and lower effective interest rates on interest bearing obligations.

     The Partnership reported other income of $945,853 and $945,928 for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to other expenses of
$13,492 and $13,681 for the comparable 1996 periods.  These changes were a
result of a property tax refund received during the second quarter of 1997.

     The Partnership reported net income of $521,897 for the three month period
ended June 30, 1997 compared to a net loss of $622,842 for the similar 1996
period.  The Partnership reported net income of $51,353 for the six month period
ended June 30, 1997 compared to a net loss of $1,241,368 for the similar 1996
period.  These changes were the result of the factors discussed above.
