DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE: None


This Annual Report on Form 10-K is for the year ending December 31,
1999. This Annual Report modifies and supersedes documents filed by the
Partnership prior to the filing of this Annual Report. The Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") allows the Partnership to "incorporate by
reference" into this Annual Report information that it files with the SEC, which
means that the Partnership can disclose important information to limited
partners by referring them directly to those documents. Information incorporated
by reference is considered to be part of this Annual Report. In addition,
information that the Partnership files with the SEC in the future will
automatically update and supersede information contained in this Annual Report.
Certain information contained in this Annual Report contains "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in
this Annual Report that address activities, events or developments that the
Partnership or the General Partner expects, believes or anticipates will or may
occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are based upon certain assumptions and are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Actual events or results may differ from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.


PART I.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

THE PARTNERSHIP. Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
Colorado limited partnership. Comcast JOIN Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, is the general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner").
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring and operating cable
television systems. The Partnership no longer owns any cable television systems.
In January 1999, the Partnership sold its last operating asset, the cable
television system serving the areas in and around Littlerock, California (the
"Littlerock System"). Although the sale of the Littlerock System represented the
sale of the last remaining operating asset of the Partnership, the Partnership
will not be dissolved until all pending litigation relating to the Partnership
has been resolved and terminated.

NEW GENERAL PARTNER. 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, as
discussed below. As of December 31, 1999, Comcast owned approximately 2.9
million shares of Jones Intercable's Common Stock and approximately 13.8 million
shares of Jones Intercable's Class A Common Stock, representing 39.6% of the
economic interest and 48.3% of the voting interest in Jones Intercable. Comcast
contributed its shares in Jones Intercable to its wholly owned subsidiary,
Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. ("Comcast Cable"). The approximately 2.9
million shares of Common Stock of Jones Intercable owned by Comcast Cable
represented shares having the right to elect approximately 75% of the Board of
Directors of Jones Intercable. As of April 7, 1999, Jones Intercable became a
consolidated public company subsidiary of Comcast Cable.

In connection with Comcast's acquisition of a controlling interest in
Jones Intercable on April 7, 1999, all of the persons who were executive
officers of Jones Intercable as of that date terminated their employment with
Jones Intercable. Also on that date, Jones Intercable's Board of Directors
elected new executive officers, each of whom also was an officer of Comcast.
Effective April 7, 1999, Jones Intercable and Comcast entered into a management
agreement pursuant to which employees of Comcast have undertaken the
administration of the Partnership. As of July 7, 1999, all persons who were
employed at Jones Intercable's former corporate offices in Englewood, Colorado
had terminated their employment with Jones Intercable.

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 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 this Annual Report 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.

DISPOSITION OF CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEM BY THE PARTNERSHIP. In January
1999, the Partnership sold the Littlerock System to a subsidiary of Jones
Intercable for a sales price of $10,720,400. The sales price represented the
average of three separate, independent appraisals of the fair market value of
the Littlerock System. From the proceeds of the Littlerock System's sale, the
Partnership settled working capital adjustments and retained $1,000,000 of the
sale proceeds for a reserve for the administrative expenses of the Partnership,
including expenses the Partnership may incur related to pending litigation,
repaid all of its indebtedness and then the Partnership distributed the
remaining sale proceeds of $9,985,361 to its limited partners of record as of
January 29, 1999. This distribution was made in February 1999. Because the
distributions to the limited partners from the sales of the Partnership's cable
systems did not return to the limited partners 125 percent of the capital
initially contributed by the limited partners to the Partnership, Jones
Intercable did not receive a general partner distribution from the Littlerock
System's sale proceeds. Limited partners received $38 for each $500 limited
partnership interest, or $76 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership, from
the Partnership's net proceeds of the Littlerock System's sale. Taking into
account all distributions made from the sales of the Partnership's cable
television systems, the limited partners of the Partnership have received $432
for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $864 for each $1,000 invested in
the Partnership.

Because transferees of limited partnership interests following the
record date for the distribution of the Littlerock System's sale proceeds
(January 29, 1999) would not be entitled to any distributions from the
Partnership, a transfer of limited partnership interests following such record
date would have no economic value. The General Partner therefore has determined
that, pursuant to the authority granted to it by the Partnership's limited
partnership agreement, the General Partner will approve no transfers of limited
partnership interests after January 29, 1999.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
------------------

As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership does not own any cable
television systems.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-------------------------

LITIGATION CHALLENGING JONES INTERCABLE'S ACQUISITION OF THE LITTLEROCK SYSTEM

In June 1999, Jones Intercable was named a defendant in a case
captioned City Partnership Co., derivatively on behalf of Cable TV Fund 14-B,
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ltd., plaintiff v. Jones Intercable, Inc., defendant and Cable TV Fund 14-B,
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ltd., nominal defendant (U.S. District Court, District of Colorado, Civil Action
- -----------------------
No. 99-WM-1051) brought by City Partnership Co., a limited partner of the
Partnership. The plaintiff's complaint alleges that Jones Intercable breached
its fiduciary duty to the plaintiff and to the other limited partners of the
Partnership in connection with the Partnership's sale of the Littlerock System
to a subsidiary of Jones Intercable in January 1999. The complaint alleges that
Jones Intercable acquired the Littlerock System at an unfairly low price that
did not accurately reflect the market value of the Littlerock System. The
plaintiff also alleges that the proxy solicitation materials delivered to the
limited partners of the Partnership in connection with the vote of the limited
partners on the Partnership's sale of the Littlerock System contained inadequate
and misleading information concerning the fairness of the transaction, which the
plaintiff claims caused Jones Intercable to breach its fiduciary duty of candor
to the limited partners and which the plaintiff claims constituted acts and
omissions in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. Plaintiff also claims that Jones Intercable breached the contractual
provision of the Partnership's limited partnership agreement requiring that the
sale price be determined by the average of three separate, independent
appraisals, challenging both the independence and the currency of the
appraisals. The complaint finally seeks declaratory injunctive relief to prevent
Jones Intercable from making use of the Partnership's funds to finance Jones
Intercable's defense of this litigation. Jones Intercable has filed motions to
dismiss certain of the plaintiff's claims for relief. The General Partner
believes that the procedures followed by Jones Intercable in conducting the vote
of the limited partners of the Partnership on the sale of the

3


Littlerock System, including the fairness opinion in the proxy statement
delivered to the limited partners of the Partnership, were proper and that
Partnership's sale of the Littlerock System at a price determined by averaging
three separate, independent appraisals was in accordance with the express
provisions of the Partnership's limited partnership agreement. The General
Partner intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

In August 1999, Jones Intercable was named a defendant in a case
captioned Gramercy Park Investments, LP, Cobble Hill Investments, LP and
--------------------------------------------------------------
Madison/AG Partnership Value Partners II, plaintiffs v. Jones Intercable, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and Glenn R. Jones, defendants, and Cable TV Fund 12-B, Ltd., Cable TV Fund
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
12-C, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd. and Cable TV Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14-B, Ltd., nominal defendants (U.S. District Court, District of Colorado, Civil
- ------------------------------
Action No. 99-B-1508)("Gramercy Park") brought as a class and derivative action
by limited partners of the named partnerships. The plaintiffs' complaint alleges
that the defendants made false and misleading statements to the limited partners
of the named partnerships in connection with the solicitation of proxies and the
votes of the limited partners on the sales of the Albuquerque, Palmdale,
Littlerock and Calvert County cable communication systems by the named
partnerships to Jones Intercable or one of its subsidiaries in violation of
Sections 14 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
plaintiffs specifically allege that the proxy statements delivered to the
limited partners in connection with the limited partners' votes on these sales
were false, misleading and failed to disclose material facts necessary to make
the statements made not misleading. The plaintiffs' complaint also alleges that
the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the plaintiffs and to the
other limited partners of the named partnerships and to the named partnerships
in connection with the various sales of the Albuquerque, Palmdale, Littlerock
and Calvert County cable communications systems to subsidiaries of Jones
Intercable. The complaint alleges that Jones Intercable acquired these cable
communications systems at unfairly low prices that did not accurately reflect
the market values of the systems. The plaintiffs seek on their own behalf and on
behalf of all other limited partners compensatory and nominal damages, the costs
and expenses of the litigation, including reasonable attorneys' and experts'
fees, and punitive and exemplary damages.

In August 1999, Jones Intercable was named a defendant in a case
captioned William Barzler, plaintiff v. Jones Intercable, Inc. and Glenn R.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Jones, defendants and Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd., nominal defendant (U.S.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
District Court, District of Colorado, Civil Action No. 99-B-1604)("Barzler")
brought as a class and derivative action by a limited partner of the named
partnership. The substance of the plaintiff's complaint is similar to the
allegations raised in the Gramercy Park case except that it relates only to
-------------
the sale of the Littlerock System by the Partnership.

In September 1999, Jones Intercable was named a defendant in a case
captioned Sheryle Trainer, plaintiff v. Jones Intercable, Inc. and Glenn R.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Jones, defendants, and Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd., nominal defendant (U.S.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
District Court, District of Colorado, Civil Action No. 99-B-1751)("Trainer")
brought as a class and derivative action by a limited partner of the named
partnership. The substance of the plaintiff's complaint is similar to the
allegations raised in the Gramercy Park case except that it relates only to the
sale of the Littlerock System by the Partnership.

In September 1999, Jones Intercable was named a defendant in a case
captioned Mary Schumacher, Charles McKenzie and Geraldine Lucas, plaintiffs
------------------------------------------------------------------
v. Jones Intercable, Inc. and Glenn R. Jones, defendants and Cable TV Fund 12-B,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ltd., Cable TV Fund 12-C, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 14-A,
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ltd. and Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd., nominal defendants (U.S. District Court,
- -----------------------------------------------------
District of Colorado, Civil Action No. 99-WM-1702)("Schumacher") brought as a
class and derivative action by three limited partners of the named partnerships.
The substance of the plaintiffs' complaint is similar to the allegations raised
in the Gramercy Park case.
-------------

In September 1999, Jones Intercable was named a defendant in a case
captioned Robert Margolin, Henry Wahlgren and Joan Wahlgren, plaintiffs v. Jones
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Intercable, Inc. and Glenn R. Jones, defendants and Cable TV Fund 12-B, Ltd.,
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cable TV Fund 12-C, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd. and
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd., nominal defendants (U.S. District Court, District of
- --------------------------------------------
Colorado, Civil Action No. 99-B-1778)("Margolin") brought as a class and
derivative action by three limited partners of the named partnerships. The
substance of the plaintiffs' complaint is similar to the allegations raised in
the Gramercy Park case.

The General Partner believes that the procedures followed by Jones
Intercable in conducting the votes of the limited partners of the various
partnerships on the sales of the Albuquerque, Palmdale, Littlerock and Calvert
County systems and the disclosures in the proxy statements delivered to the
limited partners in connection with the limited partners' votes on these sales
were proper and complete, and the General Partner believes that the various sale
transactions were fair because they were at prices determined by averaging three
separate, independent appraisals of the various cable communications systems
sold in accordance with the express provisions of the partnerships' limited
partnership agreements. The General Partner intends to defend these lawsuits
vigorously.

In November 1999, the United States District Court for the District of
Colorado entered an order consolidating all of the cases challenging Jones
Intercable's acquisitions of the Albuquerque, Palmdale, Littlerock and Calvert
County systems because these cases involve common questions of law and fact.

LITIGATION RELATING TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIP LIST REQUESTS

In July 1999, Jones Intercable, each of its subsidiaries that serve as
general partners of Jones Intercable's managed partnerships and most of Jones
Intercable's managed partnerships, including the Partnership, were named
defendants in a case captioned Everest Cable Investors, LLC, Everest
-------------------------------------
Properties, LLC, Everest Properties II, LLC and KM Investments, LLC, plaintiffs
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v. Jones Intercable, Inc., et al., defendants (Superior Court, Los Angeles
- ---------------------------------------------
County, State of California, Case No. BC 213632).

Plaintiffs allege that certain of them formed a plan 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 alleged 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, Jones Intercable and the defendant subsidiaries and
managed partnerships filed a notice of 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 in part but the Court gave the
plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint to attempt to cure the deficiencies in
the pleadings. The plaintiffs filed their first amended complaint in January
2000.

Discovery in the case also has begun, and Jones Intercable and the
defendant subsidiaries and managed partnerships have responded to the
plaintiffs' first set of interrogatories and the plaintiffs' first demand for
the production of documents. The General Partner believes that the defendants
have defenses to the plaintiffs' claims for relief and challenges to the
plaintiffs' claims for damages, and the General Partner intends to defend this
lawsuit vigorously.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.

PART II.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK
AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS

While the Partnership is publicly held, there is no public market for
the limited partnership interests, and it is not expected that a market will
develop in the future. As of December 31, 1999, the number of equity security
holders in the Partnership was 15,450.

(c) Net income resulted primarily from the sale of the Littlerock System by
Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd., in January 1999.


ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion contains, in addition to historical
information, forward-looking statements that are based upon certain assumptions
and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Partnership owned the Littlerock System until its sale on January
29, 1999. The Partnership owned the Surfside System until its sale on June 30,
1998. The Partnership also owned a 73 percent interest in Cable TV Fund 14-A/B,
Ltd. (the "Venture"). The Venture sold its only asset, the Broward System, on
March 31, 1998, and the Venture was liquidated and dissolved in October 1998.
The accompanying financial statements historically include 100 percent of the
accounts of the Partnership and those of the Venture, reduced by the 27 percent
minority interest in the Venture owned by Cable TV Fund 14-A Ltd.

On January 29, 1999, the Partnership sold the Littlerock System to a
subsidiary of Jones Intercable for $10,720,400. Upon the closing of the sale of
the Littlerock System, the Partnership retained a portion of the sale proceeds
for a reserve for the continuing administrative expenses of the Partnership,
repaid all of its indebtedness and then distributed the net sale proceeds of
$9,985,361 to the Partnership's limited partners of record as of January 29,
1999. This distribution was made in February 1999. Such distribution represented
approximately $38 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $76 for each
$1,000 invested in the Partnership. Because the distributions to the limited
partners from the sales of the Broward System, the Surfside System and the
Littlerock System did not return 125 percent of the capital initially
contributed by the limited partners to the Partnership, Jones Intercable did not
receive a general partner distribution from the Littlerock System's sale
proceeds.

Taking into account the distribution from prior system sales and the
distribution from the sale of the Littlerock System, the limited partners of the
Partnership have received a total of $432 for each $500 limited partnership
interest, or $864 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership.

7


Although the sale of the Littlerock System represented the sale of the
only remaining cable television system of the Partnership, the Partnership will
not be dissolved until after all pending litigation relating to the Partnership
is finally resolved and terminated (see note 7).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Due to the Littlerock System sale on January 29, 1999, which was the
Partnership's last remaining operating asset, a full discussion of the results
of operations would not be meaningful. For the period ended December 31, 1999,
the Partnership had total revenues of $237,069 and generated operating income of
$19,245. Other expense of $612,631 incurred in 1999 primarily related to various
costs associated with the sale of the Partnership's Littlerock System and the
administration of the Partnership. Because of the gain of $5,492,858 on the sale
of the Littlerock System, the Partnership realized net income of $4,890,713, or
$18.70 per limited partnership interest, for the year ended December 31, 1999.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited financial statements of the Partnership for the year ended
December 31, 1999 follow.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Partners of Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CABLE
TV FUND 14-B, Ltd. (a Colorado limited partnership) and subsidiary as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, partners' capital (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the general partner's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cable TV Fund 14-B,
Ltd. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CABLE TV FUND 14-B, LTD.
(A Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS' INTERESTS

Formation and Business

Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), a Colorado limited
partnership, was formed on September 9, 1987, under a public program sponsored
by Jones Intercable, Inc. ("Jones Intercable"). The Partnership was formed to
acquire, construct, develop and operate cable television systems.

Formation of Joint Venture

On January 8, 1988, Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd. ("Fund 14-A") and the
Partnership formed Cable TV Fund 14-A/B Venture (the "Venture"). Fund 14-A
contributed $18,975,000 to the capital of the Venture for a 27 percent ownership
interest and the Partnership contributed $51,025,000 to the capital of the
Venture for a 73 percent ownership interest. The Venture was liquidated and
dissolved in October 1998 (discussed below).

Cable Television System Acquisitions

The Partnership acquired the cable television system serving Surfside,
South Carolina (the "Surfside System") in 1988 and the cable television system
serving Littlerock, California (the "Littlerock System") in 1989. The Venture
acquired the cable television system serving areas in and around Broward County,
Florida (the "Broward System") in 1988.

New General Partner

On April 7, 1999, Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") completed the
acquisition of a controlling interest in Jones Intercable, the Partnership's
general partner until March 2, 2000, as discussed below. As of December 31,
1999, Comcast owned approximately 2.9 million shares of Jones Intercable's
Common Stock and approximately 13.8 million shares of Jones Intercable's Class A
Common Stock, representing 39.6% of the economic interest and 48.3% of the
voting interest in Jones Intercable. Comcast contributed its shares in Jones
Intercable to its wholly owned subsidiary, Comcast Cable Communications, Inc.
("Comcast Cable"). The approximately 2.9 million shares of Common Stock of Jones
Intercable owned by Comcast Cable represented shares having the right to elect
approximately 75% of the Board of Directors of Jones Intercable. As of April 7,
1999, Jones Intercable became a consolidated public company subsidiary of
Comcast Cable.

In connection with Comcast's acquisition of a controlling interest in
Jones Intercable on April 7, 1999, all of the persons who were executive
officers of Jones Intercable as of that date terminated their employment with
Jones Intercable. Also on that date, Jones Intercable's Board of Directors
elected new executive officers, each of whom also was an officer of Comcast.
Effective April 7, 1999, Jones Intercable and Comcast entered into a management
agreement pursuant to which employees of Comcast have undertaken the
administration of the Partnership. As of July 7, 1999, all persons who were
employed at Jones Intercable's former corporate offices in Englewood, Colorado
had terminated their employment with Jones Intercable.

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 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. Comcast JOIN Holdings, Inc. shares corporate offices
with Comcast at 1500 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102-2148.

Cable Television System Sales

On March 31, 1998, the Venture sold the Broward System to an
unaffiliated third party for $140,000,000. From the proceeds of the Broward
System sale, the Venture settled working capital adjustments, repaid the
outstanding balance on its credit facility, which totaled $39,902,968 at March
31, 1998 and paid a brokerage fee of $3,420,216. The Venture then distributed
the remaining net sale proceeds of $95,708,056 to the two constituent
partnerships of the Venture in proportion to their ownership interests in the
Venture. Accordingly, the Partnership received 73 percent of the net sale
proceeds, or $69,771,054. The Partnership distributed its net sale proceeds to
its limited partners of record as of March 31, 1998. Such distribution
represented

15


approximately $267 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $534 for each
$1,000 invested in the Partnership. Because the distributions to the limited
partners from the sale of the Broward System did not return to the limited
partners 125 percent of the capital initially contributed to the Partnership by
the limited partners, Jones Intercable did not receive any general partner
distribution from the Broward System's sale. Because the Broward System
represented the only asset of the Venture, the Venture was liquidated and
dissolved in October 1998.

On June 30, 1998, the Partnership sold the Surfside System to an
unaffiliated third party for $51,500,000. Upon the closing of the sale of the
Surfside System, the Partnership retained a portion of the sale proceeds for
working capital purposes, repaid all of its indebtedness, paid a brokerage fee
totaling $1,287,500, paid a deferred acquisition fee of $920,000 and then
distributed the net sale proceeds of approximately $33,096,952 to the
Partnership's limited partners of record as of June 30, 1998. This distribution
was made in August 1998. Such distribution represented approximately $127 for
each $500 limited partnership interest, or $254 for each $1,000 invested in the
Partnership. Because the distributions to the limited partners from the sale of
the Broward System and the Surfside System did not return to the limited
partners 125 percent of the capital initially contributed by the limited
partners to the Partnership, Jones Intercable did not receive a general partner
distribution from the Surfside System's sale proceeds.

On January 29, 1999, the Partnership sold the Littlerock System to a
subsidiary of Jones Intercable for $10,720,400. Upon the closing of the sale of
the Littlerock System, the Partnership retained a portion of the sale proceeds
for a reserve for the continuing administrative expenses, repaid all of its
indebtedness and then distributed the net sale proceeds of approximately
$9,985,361 to the Partnership's limited partners of record as of January 29,
1999. This distribution was made in February 1999. Such distribution represented
approximately $38 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $76 for each
$1,000 invested in the Partnership. Because the distributions to the limited
partners from the sales of the Broward System, the Surfside System and the
Littlerock System did not return 125 percent of the capital initially
contributed by the limited partners to the Partnership, Jones Intercable did not
receive a general partner distribution from the Littlerock System's sale
proceeds.

Taking into account the distribution from the prior system sales and
the distribution from the sale of the Littlerock System, the limited partners of
the Partnership have received a total of $432 for each $500 limited partnership
interest, or $864 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership.

Although the sale of the Littlerock System represented the sale of the
only remaining cable television system of the Partnership, the Partnership will
not be dissolved until after all pending litigation relating to the Partnership
is finally resolved and terminated (see note 7).

Contributed Capital

The capitalization of the Partnership is set forth in the accompanying
Statements of Partners' Capital (Deficit). No limited partner is obligated to
make any additional contribution to partnership capital.

Jones Intercable purchased its interest in the Partnership by
contributing $1,000 to partnership capital.

All profits and losses of the Partnership are allocated 99 percent to
the limited partners and 1 percent to Jones Intercable, except for income or
gain from the sale or disposition of cable television properties, which are
allocated to the partners based upon the formula set forth in the Partnership's
partnership agreement and interest income earned prior to the first acquisition
by the Partnership of a cable television system, which was allocated 100 percent
to the limited partners.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Records

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The Partnership's tax returns are also prepared on the
accrual basis.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

16


Principles of Consolidation

As a result of the Partnership's ownership interest in the Venture of
73 percent until it was liquidated and dissolved, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements historically present the Partnership's and the Venture's
financial condition on a consolidated basis with the ownership interest of Fund
14-A in the Venture shown as a minority interest. The Venture did not have any
ownership interest in the Surfside System or Littlerock System. These systems
were owned 100 percent by the Partnership. All interpartnership accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation was provided using the straight-line method over the
following estimated service lives:

Cable distribution systems 5 - 15 years
Equipment and tools 5 - 7 years
Office furniture and equipment 3 - 5 years
Buildings 30 years
Vehicles 3 - 4 years

Replacements, renewals and improvements were capitalized and
maintenance and repairs were charged to expense as incurred.

Property, plant and equipment and the corresponding accumulated
depreciation were written off as certain assets became fully depreciated and
were no longer in service.

Intangible Assets

Costs assigned to franchises and costs in excess of interests in net
assets purchased were amortized using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:

Franchise costs 1 - 10 years
Costs in excess of interests in net assets purchased 29 - 31 years


(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH JONES INTERCABLE AND AFFILIATES

Brokerage Fees

The Intercable Group, Ltd. performed brokerage services for the
Partnership. For brokering the acquisition of the Surfside System for the
Partnership, The Intercable Group, Ltd. earned a fee totaling $1,920,000, or 4
percent of the purchase price, during the year ended December 31, 1988, of which
$920,000 had been deferred until the sale of the Surfside System on June 30,
1998. For brokering the sales of the Broward System and the Surfside System, The
Intercable Group, Ltd. earned fees totaling $3,500,000 and $1,287,500,
respectively, or 2.5 percent of the respective purchase prices, for the year
ended December 31, 1998.

Management Fees, Distribution Ratios and Reimbursements

Jones Intercable managed the Partnership and the Venture and received a
fee for its services equal to 5 percent of the gross revenues of the Partnership
and the Venture, excluding revenues from the sale of cable television systems or
franchises. Jones Intercable has not received and will not receive a management
fee after January 29, 1999. Management fees paid to Jones Intercable by the
Partnership and the Venture for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
were $11,854, $776,209 and $2,046,467, respectively.

Any partnership distributions made from cash flow (defined as cash
receipts derived from routine operations, less debt principal and interest
payments and cash expenses) were allocated 99 percent to the limited partners
and 1 percent to the general partner. Any distributions other than interest
income on limited partner subscriptions earned prior to the acquisition of the
Partnership's first cable television system or from cash flow, such as from the
sale or refinancing of a system or upon dissolution of the Partnership, were
made as follows: first, to the limited partners in an amount which, together
with all prior distributions, will equal 125 percent of the amount initially
contributed to the Partnership capital by the limited partners; the balance, 75
percent to the limited partners and 25 percent to the general partner.

17


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 made
to Jones Intercable for allocated overhead and administrative expenses during
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $82,371, $932,655 and
$2,353,371, respectively.

The Partnership was charged interest during 1999 at an average interest
rate of 7.18 percent on the amounts due Jones Intercable, which approximated
Jones Intercable's weighted average cost of borrowing. Total interest charged to
the Partnership by Jones Intercable was $8,699, $17,658 and $2,678, for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Payments to/from Affiliates for Programming Services

Prior to the sale of the Littlerock System the Partnership received
programming from Superaudio, Knowledge TV, Inc., Jones Computer Network, Ltd.,
Great American Country, Inc. and Product Information Network, all of which were
affiliates of Jones Intercable until April 7, 1999. (see Note 1)

Payments to Superaudio by the Partnership totaled $450, $23,402 and
$57,469 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Payments to Knowledge TV, Inc. by
the Partnership totaled $415, $26,403 and $63,921 in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Payments to Jones Computer Network, Ltd., whose service was
discontinued in April 1997, totaled $14,633 in 1997. Payments by the Partnership
to Great American Country, Inc. totaled $360, $24,623 and $22,309 in 1999, 1998
and 1997.

Prior to the sale of the Littletock System the Partnership received
commissions from Product Information Network based on a percentage of
advertising revenue and number of subscribers. Product Information Network paid
commissions to the Partnership totaling $14, $51,065 and $125,785 in 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

(6) INCOME TAXES

18


Income taxes have not been recorded in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements because they accrue directly to the partners. The federal
and state income tax returns of the Partnership are prepared and filed by the
general partner.

The Partnership's tax returns, the qualification of the Partnership as
such for tax purposes, and the amount of distributable Partnership income or
loss are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such
examinations result in changes with respect to the Partnership's qualification
as such, or in changes with respect to the Partnership's recorded income or
loss, the tax liability of the general and limited partners would likely be
changed accordingly.

Taxable income reported to the partners is different from that reported
in the consolidated statements of operations due to the difference in
depreciation recognized under generally accepted accounting principles and the
expense allowed for tax purposes under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery
System (MACRS). There are no other significant differences between taxable
income and the net income reported in the consolidated statements of operations.

(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------

Litigation Challenging Jones Intercable's Acquisition of the Littlerock System
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In June 1999, Jones Intercable was named a defendant in a case
captioned City Partnership Co., derivatively on behalf of Cable TV Fund 14-B,
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ltd., plaintiff v. Jones Intercable, Inc., defendant and Cable TV Fund 14-B,
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ltd., nominal defendant (U.S. District Court, District of Colorado, Civil Action
- -----------------------
No. 99-WM-1051) brought by City Partnership Co., a limited partner of the
Partnership. The plaintiff's complaint alleges that Jones Intercable breached
its fiduciary duty to the plaintiff and to the other limited partners of the
Partnership in connection with the Partnership's sale of the Littlerock System
to a subsidiary of Jones Intercable in January 1999. The complaint alleges that
Jones Intercable acquired the Littlerock System at an unfairly low price that
did not accurately reflect the market value of the Littlerock System. The
plaintiff also alleges that the proxy solicitation materials delivered to the
limited partners of the Partnership in connection with the vote of the limited
partners on the Partnership's sale of the Littlerock System contained inadequate
and misleading information concerning the fairness of the transaction, which the
plaintiff claims caused Jones Intercable to breach its fiduciary duty of candor
to the limited partners and which the plaintiff claims constituted acts and
omissions in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. Plaintiff also claims that Jones Intercable breached the contractual
provision of the Partnership's limited partnership agreement requiring that the
sale price be determined by the average of three separate, independent
appraisals, challenging both the independence and the currency of the
appraisals. The complaint finally seeks declaratory injunctive relief to prevent
Jones Intercable from making use of the Partnership's funds to finance Jones
Intercable's defense of this litigation. Jones Intercable has filed motions to
dismiss certain of the plaintiff's claims for relief. The General Partner
believes that the procedures followed by Jones Intercable in conducting the vote
of the limited partners of the Partnership on the sale of the Littlerock System,
including the fairness opinion in the proxy statement delivered to the limited
partners of the Partnership, were proper and that Partnership's sale of the
Littlerock System at a price determined by averaging three separate, independent
appraisals was in accordance with the express provisions of the Partnership's
limited partnership agreement. The General Partner intends to defend this
lawsuit vigorously.

In August 1999, Jones Intercable was named a defendant in a case
captioned Gramercy Park Investments, LP, Cobble Hill Investments, LP and
--------------------------------------------------------------
Madison/AG Partnership Value Partners II, plaintiffs v. Jones Intercable, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and Glenn R. Jones, defendants, and Cable TV Fund 12-B, Ltd., Cable TV Fund
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
12-C, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd. and Cable TV Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14-B, Ltd., nominal defendants (U.S. District Court, District of Colorado, Civil
- ------------------------------
Action No. 99-B-1508) ("Gramercy Park") brought as a class and derivative action
by limited partners of the named partnerships. The plaintiffs' complaint alleges
that the defendants made false and misleading statements to the limited partners
of the named partnerships in connection with the solicitation of proxies and the
votes of the limited partners on the sales of the Albuquerque, Palmdale,
Littlerock and Calvert County cable communication systems by the named
partnerships to Jones Intercable or one of its subsidiaries in violation of
Sections 14 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
plaintiffs specifically allege that the proxy statements delivered to the
limited partners in connection with the limited partners' votes on these sales
were false, misleading and failed to disclose material facts necessary to make
the statements made not misleading. The plaintiffs' complaint also alleges that
the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the plaintiffs and to the
other limited partners of the named partnerships and to the named partnerships
in connection with the various sales of the Albuquerque, Palmdale, Littlerock
and Calvert County cable communications systems to subsidiaries of Jones
Intercable. The complaint alleges that Jones Intercable acquired these cable
communications systems at unfairly low prices that did not accurately reflect
the market values of the systems. The plaintiffs seek on their own behalf and on
behalf of all other limited partners compensatory and nominal damages, the costs
and expenses of the litigation, including reasonable attorneys' and experts'
fees, and punitive and exemplary damages.

In August 1999, Jones Intercable was named a defendant in a case
captioned William Barzler, plaintiff v. Jones Intercable, Inc. and Glenn R.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jones, defendants and Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd., nominal defendant (U.S. District

captioned Robert Margolin, Henry Wahlgren and Joan Wahlgren, plaintiffs v. Jones
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Intercable, Inc. and Glenn R. Jones, defendants and Cable TV Fund 12-B, Ltd.,
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cable TV Fund 12-C, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd. and
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd., nominal defendants (U.S. District Court, District of
- --------------------------------------------
Colorado, Civil Action No. 99-B-1778) ("Margolin") brought as a class and
derivative action by three limited partners of the named partnerships. The
substance of the plaintiffs' complaint is similar to the allegations raised in
the Gramercy Park case.
-------------

The General Partner believes that the procedures followed by Jones
Intercable in conducting the votes of the limited partners of the various
partnerships on the sales of the Albuquerque, Palmdale, Littlerock and Calvert
County systems and the disclosures in the proxy statements delivered to the
limited partners in connection with the limited partners' votes on these sales
were proper and complete, and the General Partner believes that the various sale
transactions were fair because they were at prices determined by averaging three
separate, independent appraisals of the various cable communications systems
sold in accordance with the express provisions of the partnerships' limited
partnership agreements. The General Partner intends to defend these lawsuits
vigorously.

In November 1999, the United States District Court for the District of
Colorado entered an order consolidating all of the cases challenging Jones
Intercable's acquisitions of the Albuquerque, Palmdale, Littlerock and Calvert
County systems because these cases involve common questions of law and fact.

Litigation Relating to Limited Partnership List Requests
- --------------------------------------------------------

In July 1999, Jones Intercable, each of its subsidiaries that serve as
general partners of Jones Intercable's managed partnerships and most of Jones
Intercable's managed partnerships, including the Partnership, were named
defendants in a case captioned Everest Cable Investors, LLC, Everest Properties,
-------------------------------------------------
LLC, Everest Properties II, LLC and KM Investments, LLC, plaintiffs v. Jones
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intercable, Inc., et al., defendants (Superior Court, Los Angeles County, State
- ------------------------------------
of California, Case No. BC 213632).

Plaintiffs allege that certain of them formed a plan 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 alleged 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, Jones Intercable and the defendant subsidiaries and
managed partnerships filed a notice of 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 in part but the Court gave the
plaintiffs' leave to amend their complaint to attempt to cure the deficiencies
in the pleadings. The plaintiffs filed their first amended complaint in January
2000.

20


Discovery in the case also has begun, and Jones Intercable and the
defendant subsidiaries and managed partnerships have responded to the
plaintiffs' first set of interrogatories and the plaintiffs' first demand for
the production of documents. The General Partner believes that the defendants
have defenses to the plaintiffs' claims for relief and challenges to the
plaintiffs' claims for damages, and the General Partner intends to defend this
lawsuit vigorously.

accounting, legal and investor relations services to the Partnership. The
Partnership will continue to reimburse its general partner for actual time spent
