NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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 Jones Programming Partners 2-A, Ltd.
(the "Partnership") as of September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 and
its results of operations and its cash flows for the three and 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. Certain prior year amounts have
been reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.
(2) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED ENTITIES
The General Partner is entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership
for its direct and indirect expenses allocable to the operations of
the Partnership, which shall include, but not be limited to, rent,
supplies, telephone, travel, legal expenses, accounting and auditing
expenses, preparation and distribution of reports to investors and
salaries of any full or part-time employees. Although the General
Partner is entitled to reimbursement for all direct and indirect
expenses allocable to the Partnership, the Partnership was charged
$3,317 and $1,674 for direct expenses only for the three month periods
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. For the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, $8,781 and $3,261,
respectively, were charged to the Partnership for direct expenses.
(3) INVESTMENT IN AND ADVANCES FOR FILM PRODUCTION
"Charlton Heston Presents: The Bible"
In 1992, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, entered
into an agreement with Agamemnon Films, an unaffiliated party, to
produce four one-hour programs for television, entitled "Charlton
Heston Presents: The Bible" (the "Bible Programs"). The production
costs of the Bible Programs were approximately $2,130,000. In
addition, the Partnership paid a $240,000 production and overhead fee
to the General Partner. In return for agreeing to fund these
production costs, the Partnership acquired all rights to the Bible
Programs in all markets and in all media in perpetuity. The
Partnership subsequently assigned half of its ownership of the Bible
Programs to an unaffiliated party for an investment of $1,000,000
toward the production costs for the Bible Programs. After
consideration of the reimbursement, the Partnership's total investment
in the Bible Programs is $1,369,764 and its net investment, after
consideration of amortization, was $499,023 as of September 30, 1995.
From inception to September 30, 1995, the Partnership has recognized
approximately $964,000 of gross revenue from this film, which includes
$250,000 from the Arts & Entertainment Network (the "A&E"), which was
used to finance the program's production.
"Household Saints"
In 1993, the Partnership acquired a one-third ownership interest in a
film scheduled for world-wide theatrical release entitled "Household
Saints." The budgeted production costs of "Household Saints" were
approximately $5,000,000, and the final production costs were
approximately $5,300,000. For a one-third ownership interest in the
film, the Partnership contributed one-third of the budgeted production
costs, or $1,666,667. Two unaffiliated entities contributed similar
amounts. Prior to June 30, 1995, the Partnership had invested
approximately $1,913,918 in the film, which included a production and
overhead fee of $100,000 paid to the General Partner by the
Partnership. Prior to June 30, 1995, the Partnership's net limited
investment in the film, after consideration of amortization, was
$1,389,166. From inception to June 30, 1995, the Partnership had
recognized $603,198 of gross revenue from this film.
6
<PAGE> 7
In January 1995, the General Partner's Board of Directors agreed in
principle to purchase the Partnership's interest in "Household Saints"
from the Partnership at a price equal to the Partnership's net
investment in the film of $1,389,166. The Partnership's limited
partnership agreement allows the General Partner to purchase completed
programming projects from the Partnership so long as the purchase
price is an amount no less than the average of three separate
independent appraisals of the project's fair market value. The
General Partner subsequently obtained three separate independent
appraisals of the fair market value of the Partnership's interest in
"Household Saints." Sunrise Capital of Bainbridge Island, Washington
appraised the Partnership's interest in the film at $141,495 as of
March 15, 1995. GB Investment Corporation of New York, New York
appraised the Partnership's interest in the film at $310,856 as of
April 10, 1995. Kagan Media Appraisals Inc. of Carmel, California
appraised the Partnership's interest in the film at $443,000 as of
April 27, 1995. The average of the three independent appraisals of
the fair market value of the Partnership's interest in "Household
Saints" was $298,450. Closing of the sale occurred on June 30, 1995.
The purchase price was paid $500,000 in cash at closing, $500,000 in
the form of a non-interest bearing promissory note payable in full 12
months from the closing date and $389,166 in the form of a
non-interest bearing promissory note payable in full 24 months from
the closing date. Because both promissory notes were non-interest
bearing, the Partnership recognized imputed interest of $122,860,
thereby reducing the notes' carrying value of $766,306 and incurring a
loss on sale of the film of $122,860. This loss will be offset by the
Partnership in the form of interest income recognized as the related
discount on the promissory notes is amortized to interest income over
the next 24 months. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
interest income of $21,267 has been recognized from amortization of
the related discount.
"The Whipping Boy"
In 1993, the Partnership acquired the rights to the Newbury
Award-winning book "The Whipping Boy." "The Whipping Boy" was
produced as a two-hour telefilm which premiered in the North American
television market on The Disney Channel. The film's final cost was
approximately $4,100,000. As of September 30, 1995, the Partnership
had invested $2,661,487 in the film, which included a $468,000
production and overhead fee paid to the General Partner. The film was
co-produced by the General Partner and Gemini Films, a German company.
The completed picture was delivered to The Disney Channel in the
second quarter of 1994. The Partnership's net investment in the film,
after consideration of amortization, was $1,059,754 as of September
30, 1995. From inception to September 30, 1995, the Partnership has
recognized approximately $2,101,000 of gross revenue from this film,
of which $2,100,000 represents the initial license fee from The Disney
Channel that was used to finance the film's production.

JONES PROGRAMMING PARTNERS 2-A, LTD.
(A Limited Partnership)
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and amounts
received from the domestic and international distribution of its programming.
As of September 30, 1995, the Partnership had $498,150 in cash.
On June 30, 1995, the Partnership sold its interest in "Household Saints" to
the General Partner for $1,389,166. The purchase price was paid $500,000 in
cash at closing, $500,000 in the form of a non-interest bearing promissory note
payable in full 12 months from the closing date and $389,166 in the form of a
non-interest bearing promissory note payable in full 24 months from the closing
date. The General Partner has determined that the sale proceeds from
"Household Saints" will contribute to the liquidity and capital resources of
the Partnership, allowing the Partnership to fund its operating needs and
enabling the Partnership to fund future distributions to the limited partners.
At a minimum, the Partnership will distribute enough of the sale proceeds to
the limited partners to cover the limited partners' federal income tax
liability, if any, resulting from the sale.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership has declared
distributions to partners totalling $425,343, of which $141,781 was paid in May
1995 and $141,781 in August 1995, with the remaining $141,781 to be paid in
November 1995. These distributions are made using cash on hand, interest
income and cash provided by operating activities. Distributions are expected
to continue, although no determination has been made regarding any specific
level of future distributions. Distributions reduce the financial flexibility
of the Partnership.
The General Partner believes that the Partnership has, and will continue to
have, sufficient liquidity to fund its operations and to meet its obligations.
Liquidity will come primarily from the Partnership's programming projects as
follows:
"Charlton Heston Presents: The Bible"
In 1992, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, entered into an
agreement with Agamemnon Films, an unaffiliated party, to produce four one-hour
programs for television, entitled "Charlton Heston Presents: The Bible" (the
"Bible Programs") for A&E. The production costs of the Bible Programs were
approximately $2,370,000, which included a $240,000 production and overhead fee
to the General Partner. In return for agreeing to fund these production costs,
the Partnership acquired all rights to the Bible Programs in all markets and in
all media in perpetuity.
In order to reduce the Partnership's financial exposure, the General Partner,
on behalf of the Partnership, assigned one-half of the Partnership's interest
in the Bible Programs to GoodTimes Home Video Corporation ("GoodTimes"), an
unaffiliated entity directly involved in the specialty home video and
international television distribution business, for an investment by GoodTimes
of $1,000,000. The Partnership and GoodTimes funded Jones Documentary Film
Corporation ("JDFC"), which in turn contracted with Agamemnon Films for the
production of the Bible Programs. JDFC was formed to insulate the Partnership
and GoodTimes from certain risks and potential liabilities associated with the
production of programming in foreign countries because the Bible Programs were
filmed on location in the Holy Lands.
The Partnership and JDFC granted the General Partner the exclusive rights to
distribute the Bible Programs. To accomplish this, the General Partner, on its
own behalf, and GoodTimes entered into an agreement to form J/G Distribution
Company to distribute the Bible Programs. J/G Distribution Company was formed
as of June 24, 1992 and the Partnership granted it the sole and exclusive right
to exhibit and distribute, and to license others to exhibit and distribute, the
Bible Programs in all markets, all languages, and all media in perpetuity. J/G
Distribution Company holds the copyright for the benefit of the Partnership (50
percent interest) and GoodTimes (50 percent interest). J/G Distribution
Company is currently distributing the Bible Programs in the retail home video
market. As of September 30, 1995, gross sales made by J/G Distribution Company
totalled $1,427,398, of which $713,699 has been retained by J/G Distribution
Company for its fees and marketing costs, with the remaining $713,699 belonging
50 percent to the Partnership and 50
8
<PAGE> 9
percent to Goodtimes. Additionally, $250,000 was received directly by the
Partnership as its share of the initial license fee from A&E. As of September
30, 1995, the Partnership had received both $356,850 from J/G Distribution and
the $250,000 from A&E.
In 1994, J/G Distribution Company, an affiliate of the General Partner, and
Jones Interactive, Inc. ("JII"), also an affiliate of the General Partner,
entered into an agreement to produce a CD-ROM version of the Bible Programs.
No Partnership funds have been or will be utilized in the production of the
CD-ROM version; however, after production costs, distribution fees and costs
associated with distribution are recovered, a percentage of net revenues
(currently being negotiated) will flow to the Partnership. The production is
being done on two separate discs, one for the New Testament, which was
completed in the third quarter of 1995, and a second disc for the Old
Testament, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1995.
Distribution of the CD-ROM version will be done in the United States and Canada
by affiliates of J/G Distribution Company. As of September 30, 1995, the
agreement to produce the CD-ROM version was being renegotiated, with final
agreement terms, including the percentage of net revenues payable to the
Partnership, expected in late 1995. The Partnership plans to recover its
remaining net investment in the Bible Programs of $499,023 from net revenues
generated from domestic and international home video markets.
"The Whipping Boy"
In August 1993, the Partnership acquired the rights to the Newbury
Award-winning book "The Whipping Boy." The project was co-developed by the
Partnership and The Disney Channel and produced by the General Partner and
German and French co-production partners. The completed telefilm was
delivered to The Disney Channel in the second quarter of 1994 and premiered in
the North American television market in July 1994. As of September 30, 1995,
the Partnership had invested $2,661,487 in the film, which included a $468,000
production and overhead fee payable to the General Partner. The Partnership
has received approximately $2,100,000 from The Disney Channel for licensing
certain rights to the film to The Disney Channel.
The Partnership was responsible for approximately one-half of the $4,100,000
production cost, with the balance of the production budget funded by Gemini
Films and other co-production partners and/or territorial advances from the
film's international distributors. The amount contributed to the product
budget by the Partnership was partially reimbursed by the license advances
totaling $2,100,000 received from the Disney Channel.
Gemini Films will have, in perpetuity, the copyright and all exploitation
rights to the film in German language territories (defined as Germany, Austria,
German-speaking Switzerland and German-speaking Luxembourg). Although these
exploitation rights will remain the sole property of Gemini Films, Gemini Films
will account to the Partnership for any revenue therefrom.
The Partnership will own the worldwide copyright, excluding German language
territories, in perpetuity. Although the Partnership will own all exploitation
rights in all media in North America, which is defined as the United States,
Canada and their respective territories and possessions, the Partnership will
account to Gemini Films for any revenue generated therefrom.
From the movie's North American revenues, the Partnership will first be
entitled to recover its investment plus interest. Thereafter, the Partnership
will receive 90 percent of all North American revenues and Gemini Films will
receive 10 percent of such revenues. With respect to international revenues
from the movie's distribution, after Gemini Films recovers $250,000 of its
investment in the movie's production budget, any funded overages and interest
out of net international revenues, the Partnership will receive 20 percent of
net international revenues and Gemini Films will receive 80 percent of net
international revenues.
The General Partner and Gemini Films have selected Canal Plus Distribution as
the company that will distribute and exploit the movie outside of North
America. Canal Plus Distribution will earn distribution fees of 15 percent of
the film's gross receipts outside of North America, and it will be reimbursed
for its expenses capped at 10 percent of the film's gross receipts outside of
North America (excluding dubbing costs). Canal Plus Distribution will be
responsible for accounting and remitting to Gemini Films the net revenues from
the film's distribution in all markets and in all media outside of North
America. Gemini Films will be responsible for forwarding the Partnership's
share of such revenues within 10 days of receipt of such funds from Canal Plus.
The Partnership plans to recover its remaining net investment in this film of
$1,059,754 primarily from net revenues generated from domestic home video and
television distribution.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues of the Partnership decreased $2,131,111, from $2,313,149 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1994 to $182,038 for the similar period in
1995. Revenues of the Partnership decreased $647,516, from $727,006 for the
three month period ended September 30, 1994 to $79,490 for the similar period
in 1995. These decreases were the result of decreased sales of the
Partnership's programming during 1995. In 1995, the Partnership recognized
revenue of $-0- from "Household Saints," $181,339 from "Charlton Heston
Presents: The Bible" (the "Bible Programs") and $699 from "The Whipping Boy"
compared to 1994 revenues from these three films of $41,155, $171,994, and
$2,100,000, respectively.
Filmed entertainment costs decreased $1,900,664, from $2,066,789 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1994 to $166,125 for the similar period in
1995. Filmed entertainment costs decreased $610,797, from $683,384 for the
three month period ended September 30, 1994 to $72,587 for the similar period
in 1995. These decreases were the result of decreased revenues as mentioned
above. Filmed entertainment costs are amortized over the life of each film in
the ratio that current gross revenue bear to anticipated total gross revenues.
Distribution fees and expenses decreased $14,189, from $104,839 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1994 to $90,650 for the similar period in
1995. Distribution fees and expenses decreased $55,421, from $95,146 for the
three month period ended September 30, 1994 to $39,725 for the similar period
in 1995. These decreases were the result of decreased home video sales of
"Charlton Heston Presents: The Bible" under the Partnership's distribution
agreement with J/G Distribution Company as well as the overall decrease in
Partnership revenues as mentioned above. Distribution fees and expenses relate
to the compensation due and costs incurred by distributors in selling the
Partnership's film productions in domestic and international markets.
Operating, general and administrative expenses increased $2,674 and $3,654,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 as
compared to the same periods in 1994. These increases were primarily due to an
increase in direct costs allocable to the operations of the Partnership that
were charged to the Partnership by the General Partner in 1995 as compared to
1994.
Loss on sale of film production increased $122,860 from $-0- for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994 to $122,860 for the similar period in 1995.
This increase was the result of the sale of "Household Saints" to the General
Partner on June 30, 1995. The loss resulted from the Partnership's recognition
of imputed interest on two non-interest bearing promissory notes received from
