PART I.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS


THE PARTNERSHIPS. Cable TV Fund 12-A, Ltd. ("Fund 12-A"), Cable TV
Fund 12-B, Ltd. ("Fund 12-B"), Cable TV Fund 12-C, Ltd. ("Fund 12-C"), and
Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd. ("Fund 12-D") (collectively, the "Partnerships") are
Colorado limited partnerships that were formed during the public offering of
limited partnership interests in the Cable TV Fund 12 Limited Partnership
Program, which was sponsored by Jones Intercable, Inc., a Colorado corporation
(the "General Partner"). The Partnerships are engaged in the acquisition,
construction, development and operation of cable television systems in five
states. Fund 12-A owns cable television systems serving the areas in and
around Lake County, Orland Park and Park Forest, Illinois (the "Northern
Illinois System") and Ft. Myers, Florida (the "Ft. Myers System"). Fund 12-B
directly owns a cable television system serving Augusta, Georgia (the "Augusta
System"). Fund 12-B, Fund 12-C and Fund 12-D formed a general partnership
known as Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture"), in which Fund 12-B owns
a 9 percent interest, Fund 12-C owns a 15 percent interest and Fund 12-D owns a
76 percent interest. The Venture owns the cable television systems serving
Palmdale, Lancaster and Rancho Vista and the military installation of Edwards
Airforce Base, all in California (the "Palmdale/Lancaster System");
Albuquerque, New Mexico (the "Albuquerque System") and Tampa, Florida (the
"Tampa System"). See Item 2. The Northern Illinois System, Ft. Myers System,
Augusta System, Palmdale/Lancaster System, Albuquerque System and Tampa System
may collectively be referred to as the "Systems."

CABLE TELEVISION SERVICES. The Systems offer to their subscribers
various types of programming, which include basic service, tier service,
premium service, pay-per-view programs and packages including several of these
services at combined rates.

Basic cable television service usually consists of signals of all four
national television networks, various independent and educational television
stations (both VHF and UHF) and certain signals received from satellites.
Basic service also usually includes programs originated locally by the system,
which may consist of music, news, weather reports, stock market and financial
information and live or videotaped programs of a public service or
entertainment nature. FM radio signals are also frequently distributed to
subscribers as part of the basic service.

The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992
(the "1992 Cable Act") contains new broadcast signal carriage requirements, and
the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") has adopted regulations
implementing these statutory carriage requirements. These new rules allow
local commercial broadcast television stations either to elect required
carriage ("must carry") status or to require a cable system to negotiate for
"retransmission consent rights." The deadline for the negotiation of
agreements for retransmission consent was October 6, 1993. No broadcast
stations carried on





-2-
3
Partnership-owned cable television systems that elected retransmission consent
have withheld consent to the retransmission of their signals. However, certain
of these broadcast stations are being carried pursuant to temporary extensions
of retransmission consent authority provided by the stations. Although there
is no assurance that the General Partner will be able to conclude
retransmission negotiations with all of these stations, the General Partner
expects to reach agreements without having to terminate the carriage of any
signal. If a broadcast station currently being carried pursuant to a temporary
extension is dropped and if a significant number of a system's subscribers were
to disconnect their service because of such action, there could be a negative
impact on the system. However, because in most cases only one station in any
market is being carried pursuant to an extension agreement, termination of one
station's carriage would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on
any system.

In most systems, tier services are also offered on an optional basis
to subscribers. Those channels generally include most of the cable networks
such as Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (ESPN), Cable News Network
(CNN), Turner Network Television (TNT), Family Channel, Discovery and others.
The systems also offer a package that includes the basic service channels and
the tier services.

Cable television systems also offer premium services to their
subscribers, which consist of feature films, sporting events and other special
features that are presented without commercial interruption. The cable
television operators buy premium programming from suppliers such as HBO,
Showtime, Cinemax or others at a cost based on the number of subscribers the
cable operator serves. Premium service programming usually is significantly
more expensive than the basic service or tier service programming, and
consequently cable operators price premium service separately when sold to
subscribers.

New cable television services have been introduced as the cable
television industry has developed and increased its penetration level. One
relatively new service currently being marketed by many cable television
operators is pay-per-view programming. Pay-per-view is a service that allows
subscribers to receive single programs, frequently consisting of motion
pictures that have recently completed their theatrical exhibitions and major
sporting events, and to pay for such service on a program-by-program basis.

REVENUES. Monthly service fees for basic, tier and premium services
constitute the major source of revenue for the Systems. As of September 1,
1993, as a result of the requirements of the 1992 Cable Act, the Systems' rate
structures for cable programming services and equipment were revised. As of
December 31, 1993, the Systems' monthly basic service rates ranged from $7.95
to $14.25 and basic and tier ("basic plus") service rates ranged from $15.00 to
$23.20 for residential subscribers. Charges for additional outlets were
eliminated, and charges for remote controls and converters were "unbundled"
from the programming service rates. The Systems' monthly rates for premium
services range from $2.00 to $11.95 per premium service. In addition, the
Partnerships earn revenues from the Systems' pay-per-view programs and
advertising fees. Related charges may include a nonrecurring installation fee
that ranges from $5.00 to $50.00; however, from time to time the





-3-
4
Systems have followed the common industry practice of reducing or waiving the
installation fee during promotional periods. Commercial subscribers such as
hotels, motels and hospitals are charged a nonrecurring connection fee that
usually covers the cost of installation. Except under the terms of certain
contracts with commercial subscribers and residential apartment and condominium
complexes, the subscribers are free to discontinue the service at any time
without penalty. For the year ended December 31, 1993, of the total fees
received by the Systems, basic service and tier service fees accounted for
approximately 66% of total revenues, premium service fees accounted for
approximately 16% of total revenues, pay-per-view fees were approximately 2% of
total revenues, advertising fees were approximately 6% of total revenues and
the remaining 10% of total revenues came principally from equipment rentals,
installation fees and program guide sales. The Partnerships are dependent upon
the timely receipt of service fees to provide for maintenance and replacement
of plant and equipment, current operating expenses and other costs of the
Systems.

The Partnerships' business consists of providing cable television
services to a large number of customers, the loss of any one of which would
have no material effect on the Partnerships' business. Each of the Systems has
had some subscribers who later terminated the service. Terminations occur
primarily because people move to another home or to another city. In other
cases, people terminate on a seasonal basis or because they no longer can
afford or are dissatisfied with the service. The amount of past due accounts
in the Systems is not significant. The General Partner's policy with regard to
past due accounts is basically one of disconnecting service before a past due
account becomes material.

The Partnerships do not depend to any material extent on the
availability of raw materials; they carry no significant amounts of inventory
and they have no material backlog of customer orders. The Partnerships have no
employees because all properties are managed by employees of the General
Partner. The General Partner has engaged in research and development
activities relating to the provision of new services but the amount of the
Partnerships' funds expended for such research and development has never been
material.

Compliance with federal, state and local provisions that have been
enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment
or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment has had no material
effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the
Partnerships.

FRANCHISES. The Systems are constructed and operated under
non-exclusive, fixed-term franchises or other types of operating authorities
(referred to collectively herein as "franchises") granted by local governmental
authorities. The Systems' franchises require that franchise fees ranging from
2% of basic revenues to 5% of gross revenues of the cable system be paid to the
governmental authority that granted the franchise, that certain channels be
dedicated to municipal use, that municipal facilities, hospitals and schools be
provided cable service free of charge and that any new cable plant be
substantially constructed within specific periods. (See Item 2. for a range of
franchise expiration dates of the Systems.)





-4-

The responsibility for franchising of cable television systems
generally is left to state and local authorities. There are, however, several
provisions in the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, that govern the terms
and conditions under which cable television systems provide service, including
the standards applicable to cable television operators seeking renewal of a
cable television franchise. In addition, the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 also makes several procedural changes to
the process under which a cable operator seeks to enforce renewal rights. See
Item 1. Regulation and Legislation. Generally, the franchising authority can
decide not to renew a franchise only if it finds that the cable operator has
not substantially complied with the material terms of the franchise, has not
provided reasonable service in light of the community's needs, does not have
the financial, legal and technical ability to provide the services being
proposed for the future, or has not presented a reasonable proposal for future
service. A final decision of non-renewal by the franchising authority is
appealable in court. The General Partner and its affiliates recently have
experienced lengthy negotiations with some franchising authorities for the
granting of franchise renewals and transfers. Some of the issues involved in
recent renewal negotiations include rate reregulation, customer service
standards, cable plant upgrade or replacement and shorter terms of franchise
agreements. The inability of a Partnership to renew a franchise, or lengthy
negotiations or litigation involving the renewal process could have an adverse
impact on the business of a Partnership. The inability of a Partnership to
transfer a franchise could have an adverse impact on the ability of a
Partnership to accomplish its investment objectives.

COMPETITION. The Systems face competition from a variety of
alternative entertainment media, such as: Multichannel Multipoint Distribution
Service ("MMDS"), which is often called a "wireless cable service" and is a
microwave service authorized to transmit television signals and other
communications on a complement of channels, which when combined with
instructional fixed television and other channels, is able to provide a
complement of television signals potentially competitive with cable television
systems; Satellite Master Antenna Television System ("SMATV"), commonly called
a "private" cable television system, which is a system wherein one central
antenna is used to receive signals and deliver them to, for example, an
apartment complex; and Television Receive-Only Earth Stations ("TVRO"), which
are satellite receiving antenna dishes that are used by "backyard users" to
receive satellite delivered programming directly in their homes. Programming
services sell their programming directly to owners of TVROs as well as through
third parties. The competition from MMDS and TVRO potentially diminishes the
pool of subscribers to the Systems because persons who subscribe to MMDS
services or who own backyard satellite dishes are not likely to subscribe to
all of the Systems' cable television services.

In the near future, the Systems will also face competition from direct
satellite to home transmission ("DBS"). DBS can provide to individuals on a
wide-scale basis premium channel services and specialized programming through
the use of high-powered DBS satellites that transmit such programming to a
rooftop or side-mounted antenna. There are currently no DBS operators in the
areas served by the Systems. DBS systems' ability to compete with the cable
television industry will depend on, among other factors, the ability to obtain
access to





-5-
6
programming and the availability of reception equipment at reasonable prices.
The first DBS satellite was recently launched, and it is anticipated that DBS
services will become available throughout the United States during 1994.

The Systems also face competition from video cassette rental outlets
and movie theaters in the Systems' service areas. The General Partner believes
the preponderance of video cassette recorder ("VCR") ownership in the Systems'
service areas may be a positive rather than a negative factor because
households that have VCRs are attracted to non-commercial programming delivered
by the Systems, such as movies and sporting events on cable television, that
they can tape at their convenience.

Cable television franchises are not exclusive, so that more than one
cable television system may be built in the same area (known as an
"overbuild"), with potential loss of revenues to the operator of the original
cable television system. Other than as described below, the Systems currently
face no direct competition from other cable television operators.

Although the Partnerships have not yet encountered competition from a
telephone company entering into the cable television business, the
Partnerships' Systems could potentially face competition from telephone
companies doing so. Bell Atlantic, a regional Bell operating company ("RBOC"),
has announced its intention, if permitted by the courts, to build a cable
television system in Alexandria, Virginia, and has won a lawsuit to obtain such
authority. The case is on appeal. The General Partner currently owns and
manages the cable television system in Alexandria, Virginia. Another RBOC,
Ameritech, has also indicated its intention to build and operate a cable
television system in Naperville, Illinois, a location where the General Partner
manages a system on behalf of one of its managed limited partnerships. Other
RBOCs have indicated their intention to enter the cable television market, and
have filed lawsuits similar to the one being pursued by Bell Atlantic and
Ameritech. Widespread competition through overbuilds by RBOCs could have a
negative impact on companies like the General Partner that are already
established cable television system operators.

COMPETITION FOR SUBSCRIBERS IN THE PARTNERSHIPS' SYSTEMS. Following
is a summary of competition from MMDS, SMATV and TVRO operators in the
Partnerships' franchise areas.

Albuquerque System Two SMATV operators serve approximately
3,190 units in trailer parks and
apartments.

Augusta System Two SMATV operators serve two apartment
complexes; one TVRO dealer principally
operates in areas which are not serviced
by cable.





-6-
7


Ft. Myers System One MMDS operator provides negligible
competition; five SMATV operators provide
service to motels and an occasional
apartment complex; and twelve TVRO dealers
serve a customer base that is confined
primarily to rural areas.


Northern Illinois System The General Partner is not aware of any
MMDS or TVRO satellite dish dealers in the
system's service area. There are a limited
number of SMATV operators in the system's
service area, but they do not provide
significant competition.


Palmdale/Lancaster System No MMDS operators; numerous SMATV operators
provide some competition in several
apartment complexes, hotels, motels,
trailer parks and two hospitals. There are
numerous TVRO dealers in the service area.
Approximately 2% of the homes in the
service area have TVRO systems.


Tampa System One MMDS operator provides minimal
competition; ten SMATV operators provide
moderate competition; thirty TVRO dealers
provide minimal competition.

REGULATION AND LEGISLATION. The cable television industry is
regulated through a combination of the Federal Communications Commission
("FCC"), some state governments, and most local governments. In addition, the
Copyright Act of 1976 imposes copyright liability on all cable television
systems. Cable television operations are subject to local regulation insofar
as systems operate under franchises granted by local authorities.

Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. On
October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act"), which became effective on
December 4, 1992. This legislation effected significant changes to the
regulatory environment in which the cable television industry operates. The
1992 Cable Act generally allows for a greater degree of regulation of the cable
television industry. Under the 1992 Cable Act's definition of effective
competition, nearly all cable television systems in the United States,
including those owned and managed by the General Partner, are subject to rate
regulation of basic cable services. In addition, the 1992 Cable Act allows the
FCC to regulate rates for non-basic service tiers other than premium services
in response to complaints filed by franchising authorities and/or cable
subscribers. In April 1993, the FCC adopted regulations governing rates for
basic and non-basic services and ordered an interim freeze on these rates
effective on April 15, 1993. The rate freeze recently was extended by the FCC
until the earlier of May 15, 1994, or the date on which a cable system's basic
service rate is regulated by a franchising authority. The FCC's





-7-
8
rate regulations became effective on September 1, 1993. On February 22, 1994,
the FCC announced a revision of its rate regulations which it believes will
generally result in a further reduction of rates for basic and non-basic
services.

The 1992 Cable Act encourages competition with existing cable systems
by allowing municipalities, which are otherwise legally qualified, to own and
operate their own cable systems without having to obtain a franchise; prevents
franchising authorities from granting exclusive franchises; or unreasonably
refusing to award additional franchises covering an existing cable system's
service area. The 1992 Cable Act also makes several procedural changes to the
process under which a cable operator seeks to enforce renewal rights which
could make it easier in some cases for a franchising authority to deny renewal.
The 1992 Cable Act prohibits the common ownership of cable systems and
co-located MMDS or SMATV systems, and absent certain exceptions, the sale or
transfer of ownership of a cable system within 36 months after its acquisition
or initial construction. The 1992 Cable Act also precludes video programmers
affiliated with cable companies from favoring cable operators over competitors
and requires such programmers to sell their programs to other multichannel
video distributors. This provision may limit the ability of cable program
suppliers to offer exclusive programming arrangements with cable companies and
could affect the volume discounts that program suppliers currently offer to the
General Partner in its capacity as a multiple system operator. The 1992 Cable
Act has eliminated the latitude of operators to set rates for commercially
leased access channels and requires that leased access rates be set according
to a formula determined by the FCC.

The 1992 Cable Act contains new broadcast signal carriage
requirements, and the FCC has adopted regulations implementing the statutory
requirements. These new rules allow a local commercial broadcast television
station to elect whether to demand that a cable television system carry its
signal, or to require the cable television system to negotiate with the station
for "retransmission consent." A cable television system is generally required
to devote up to one-third of its activated channel capacity for the mandatory
carriage of local commercial broadcast television stations, and non-commercial
television stations are also given mandatory carriage rights, although such
stations are not given the option to negotiate retransmission consent for the
carriage of their signals by cable television systems. Additionally, cable
television systems also are required to obtain retransmission consent from all
"distant" commercial television stations (except for commercial
satellite-delivered independent "superstations"), commercial radio stations and
certain low-power television stations carried by cable television systems. See
Item 1. Cable Television Services.

There have been several lawsuits filed by cable television operators
and programmers in Federal court challenging various aspects of the 1992 Cable
Act, including provisions relating to mandatory broadcast signal carriage,
retransmission consent, access to cable programming, rate regulation,
commercial leased channels and public access channels. On April 8, 1993, a
three-judge Federal district court panel issued a decision upholding the
constitutional validity of the mandatory signal carriage requirements of the
1992 Cable Act. That decision has been appealed directly to the United States
Supreme Court. Appeals have





-8-
9
been filed in the Federal appellate court challenging the validity of the FCC's
retransmission consent rules.

Ownership and Market Structure. The FCC rules and federal law
generally prohibit the direct or indirect common ownership, operation, control
or interest in a cable television system, on the one hand, and a local
television broadcast station whose television signal reaches any portion of the
community served by the cable television system, on the other hand. The FCC
recently lifted its ban on the cross-ownership of cable television systems by
broadcast networks. The FCC revised its regulations to permit broadcast
networks to acquire cable television systems serving up to 10% of the homes
passed in the nation, and up to 50% of the homes passed in a local market.
Neither the Partnerships nor the General Partner has any direct or indirect
ownership, operation, control or interest in a television broadcast station, or
a telephone company, and they are thus presently unaffected by the
cross-ownership rules.

The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act") and
FCC regulations generally prohibit the common operation of a cable television
system and a telephone company within the same service area. Until recently, a
provision of a Federal court antitrust consent decree also prohibited the
regional Bell operating companies ("RBOCs") from engaging in cable television
operations. This prohibition was recently removed when the court retaining
jurisdiction over the consent decree ruled that the RBOCs could provide
information services over their facilities. This decision permits the RBOCs to
acquire or construct cable television systems outside of their own service
areas.

The 1984 Cable Act prohibited local exchange carriers, including the
RBOCs, from providing video programming directly to subscribers within their
local exchange telephone service areas, except in rural areas or by specific
waiver of FCC rules. This statutory provision has recently been challenged on
constitutional grounds by Bell Atlantic, one of the RBOCs. The court held
that the 1984 Cable Act cross-ownership provision is unconstitutional, and it
issued an order enjoining the United States Justice Department from enforcing
the cross-ownership ban. The National Cable Television Association, an
industry group of which the General Partner is a member, has appealed this
landmark decision, and the case could ultimately be reviewed by the United
States Supreme Court. This federal cross-ownership rule is particularly
important to the cable industry since these telephone companies already own
certain facilities needed for cable television operation, such as poles, ducts
and associated rights-of-way.

The FCC has conducted a comprehensive proceeding examining whether and
under what circumstances telephone companies should be allowed to provide cable
television services, including video programming, to their customers. The FCC
has concluded that under the 1984 Cable Act interexchange carriers (such as
AT&T, which provide long distance services) are not subject to the restrictions
which bar the provision of cable television service by local exchange carriers.
In addition, the FCC concluded that neither a local exchange carrier providing
a video dialtone service nor its programming suppliers leasing the dialtone
service are required to obtain a cable television franchise. This
determination has been appealed. If video dialtone services become widespread
in the future, cable television systems





-9-
10
could be placed at a competitive disadvantage because cable television systems
are required to obtain local franchises to provide cable television service and
must comply with a variety of obligations under such franchises.

The FCC has tentatively concluded that construction and operation of
technologically advanced, integrated broadband networks by carriers for the
purpose of providing video programming and other services would constitute good
cause for waiver of the cable/telephone cross-ownership prohibitions. In July
1989, the FCC granted a California telephone company a waiver of the cross-
ownership restrictions based on a showing of "good cause," but the FCC's
decision was reversed on appeal, and as a result of this decision, the FCC may
be required to follow a stricter policy in granting such waivers in the future.

As part of the same proceeding, the FCC recommended that Congress
amend the 1984 Cable Act to allow Local Exchange Carriers ("LECs") to provide
their own video programming services over their facilities. The FCC recently
decided to loosen ownership and affiliation restrictions currently applicable
to telephone companies, and has proposed to increase the numerical limit on the
population of areas qualifying as "rural" and in which LECs can provide cable
service without a FCC waiver.

Legislation is pending in Congress which would permit the LECs to
provide cable television service within their own operating areas conditioned
on establishing separate video programming affiliates. The legislation would
generally prohibit, however, telephone companies from acquiring cable systems
within their own operating areas. The legislation would also enable cable
television companies and others, subject to regulatory safeguards, to offer
telephone services by eliminating state and local barriers to entry.

charges for additional outlets and certain equipment. In cable television
systems, basic subscribers can subscribe to more than one pay TV service.
Thus, the total number of pay services subscribed to by basic subscribers are
called pay units. Figures for numbers of subscribers, miles of cable plant and

the Venture is not in compliance with certain provisions of the franchise
agreement. Specifically, the City has claimed that the Venture is not in
compliance with local origination programming requirements, institutional
network requirements, and other facilities, equipment and service obligations
under the franchise. The Venture has responded to the claim with a detailed
demonstration that many of the City's claims are erroneous and that the
remaining unmet obligations should be modified. The City of Tampa and the
Venture have reached an agreement in principle with respect to the settlement
of the franchise dispute. A definitive settlement agreement is in the process
of being negotiated.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On July 15, 1992, the General Partner received a Civil Investigative
Demand (the "CID") from the Department of Justice ("DOJ") in connection with
an investigation to determine whether there is or has been a violation of
Section 2 of the Sherman Act as a consequence of the General Partner's alleged
refusal to carry a television broadcast station on cable television systems.
The interrogatories and document requests included in the CID request
information relating to systems owned or managed by the General Partner in
Los Angeles County, and elsewhere, including the Palmdale/Lancaster System
owned by the Venture. Specific reference is made in the CID to KHIZ,
Channel 64. The General Partner has responded to a variety of requests for
information and documents from the DOJ but has had no communication from the
DOJ since March 1992.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

CABLE TV FUND 12-C

Results of Operations

All of Cable TV Fund 12-C's ("Fund 12-C's") operations are represented
by its approximate 15 percent interest in Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the
"Venture"). Thus, Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Venture should
be consulted for pertinent comments regarding Fund 12-C's performance.

Financial Condition

Fund 12-C's investment in the Venture has decreased by $1,769,867 when
compared to the December 31, 1992 balance, representing a deficit of
$1,035,256. This deficit is due to Fund 12-C's Share of Venture losses, which
are principally the result of depreciation and amortization charges being
greater than equity invested. These losses are expected to be recovered upon
liquidation of the Venture.

CABLE TV FUND 12-BCD VENTURE

Results of Operations

1993 Compared to 1992

Revenues of Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture") increased
$5,564,003, or approximately 7 percent, from $83,567,527 in 1992 to $89,131,530
in 1993. Between December 31, 1992 and 1993, the Venture added 7,498 basic
subscribers, an increase of approximately 4 percent. This increase in basic
subscribers accounted for approximately 32 percent of the increase in revenues.
Basic service rate adjustments were responsible for approximately 38 percent of
the increase in revenues. Advertising sales revenue accounted for
approximately 12 percent of the increase in revenues. Increases in pay per
view revenue accounted for approximately 14 percent of the increase. The
increase in revenues would have been greater but for the reduction in basic
rates due to new basic rate regulation issued by the FCC in May 1993 with which
the Venture complied effective September 1, 1993. In addition, on February 22,
1994, the FCC announced a further rulemaking which, when implemented, could
reduce rates further. No other single factor significantly affected the
increase in revenues.

Operating, general and administrative expenses in the Venture's
systems increased $3,941,804, or approximately 8 percent, from $48,132,180 in
1992 to $52,073,984 in 1993. Operating, general and administrative expense
represented 58 percent of revenue in 1993 and in 1992. The increase in
operating, general and administrative expense was due to increases in
subscriber related costs, programming fees and marketing related costs. No
other single factor significantly affected the increase in operating, general
and administrative expenses. Management fees and allocated overhead from Jones
Intercable, Inc. increased $746,870, or approximately 8 percent, from
$9,758,490 in 1992 to $10,505,360 in 1993 due to the increase in revenues, upon
which such fees and allocations are based, and an increase in allocated
expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1,113,583, or
approximately 4 percent, from $26,764,820 in 1992 to $25,651,237 in 1993. The
decrease is due to the maturation of the Venture's asset base.

The Venture recorded operating income of $900,949 for 1993 compared to
an operating loss of $1,087,963 for 1992. This change is the result of
increases in revenue and the decreases in depreciation and amortization
expenses exceeding the increases in operating, general and administrative
expenses and management fees and allocated overhead from Jones Intercable Inc.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization increased $875,329, or
approximately 3 percent, from $25,676,857 in 1992 to $26,552,186 in 1993. This
increase is due to the increase in revenues exceeding the increase in
operating, general, and administrative expenses and administrative fees and
allocated overhead from Jones Intercable, Inc.

Interest expense decreased $33,744, or less than 1 percent, from
$12,022,874 in 1992 to $11,989,130 in 1993 due to lower interest rates on
interest bearing obligations, which were offset, in part, by higher balances on
such obligations. The Venture recorded other expense of $556,309 in 1993
compared to other expense of $2,708,833 in 1992. The 1992 expense primarily
represented the Sunbelt litigation settlement as discussed in Note 6 of notes
to financial statements of the Venture. The settlement was accrued by the
Venture in 1992 and paid by the Venture in March 1993.

Net loss decreased $3,299,949, or approximately 22 percent, from
$14,884,365 in 1992 to $11,584,416 in 1993 due to the factors discussed above.
These losses are expected to continue in the future.

1992 Compared to 1991

Revenues of the Venture increased $5,518,022, or approximately 7
percent, from $78,049,505 in 1991 to $83,567,527 in 1992. Between December 31,
1991 and 1992, the Venture added 3,670 basic subscribers, an increase of
approximately 2 percent. This increase in basic subscribers accounted for
approximately 17 percent of the increase in revenues. Basic service rate
adjustments were responsible for approximately 46 percent of the increase in
revenues. Advertising sales revenue accounted for approximately 14 percent of
the increase in revenues. Increases in equipment rental revenue accounted for
approximately 13 percent of the increase. No other single factor significantly
affected the increase in revenues.





18
19
Operating, general and administrative expenses in the Venture's
systems increased $4,487,834, or approximately 10 percent, from $43,644,346 in
1991 to $48,132,180 in 1992. Operating, general and administrative expense
represented 58 percent of revenue in 1992 compared to 56 percent in 1991. The
increase in operating, general and administrative expense was due to increases
in personnel related costs, programming fees and property taxes, which were
partially offset by decreases in marketing related costs and copyright fees.
No other single factor significantly affected the increase in operating,
general and administrative expenses. Management fees and allocated overhead
from Jones Intercable, Inc. increased $1,215,796, or approximately 14 percent,
from $8,542,694 in 1991 to $9,758,490 in 1992 due to the increase in revenues,
upon which such fees and allocations are based, and an increase in allocated
expenses from Jones Intercable, Inc. Depreciation and amortization expense
decreased $4,028,233, or approximately 13 percent, from $30,793,053 in 1991 to
$26,764,820 in 1992. The decrease is due to the maturation of the Venture's
asset base.

Operating loss decreased $3,842,625, or approximately 78 percent, from
$4,930,588 in 1991 to $1,087,963 in 1992 as a result of the increase in
revenues and the decreases in depreciation and amortization exceeding the
increases in operating, general and administrative expenses and management fees
and allocated overhead from Jones Intercable, Inc.

Interest expense decreased $898,899, or approximately 7 percent, from
$12,921,773 in 1991 to $12,022,874 in 1992 due primarily to lower interest
rates on interest bearing obligations, despite higher balances on such
obligations. The Venture recorded other expense of $2,708,833 in 1992 compared
to other income of $23,761 in 1991. This increase was due to the Sunbelt
litigation settlement as discussed above. This settlement was paid by the
Venture in March 1993.

Net loss decreased $2,944,235, or approximately 17 percent, from
$17,828,600 in 1991 to $14,884,365 in 1992 due primarily to the reductions in
operating loss and interest expense which were offset, in part, by the
litigation settlement discussed above. These losses are the result of the
factors discussed above and are expected to continue in the future.

Financial Condition

Capital expenditures for the Venture totaled approximately $18,711,600
during 1993. Service drops to homes accounted for approximately 29 percent of
the capital expenditures. Approximately 18 percent of these capital
expenditures related to plant extensions in all of the Venture's systems. The
completion of a rebuild of the Venture's Palmdale, California system accounted
for approximately 17 percent of capital expenditures. Approximately 12 percent
of capital expenditures was for fiber upgrades. The remaining expenditures
related to various system enhancements. These capital expenditures were funded
primarily from cash generated from operations and borrowings under the
Venture's credit facility. Expected capital expenditures for 1994 are
approximately $25,914,000. The upgrade of the Albuquerque, New Mexico system
is expected to account for approximately 31 percent. Plant extensions in all
of the Venture's systems are expected to account for approximately 15 percent.
Service drops to homes are anticipated to account for approximately 23 percent.
The remainder of the expenditures are for various system enhancements in all of
the Venture's systems. Funding for these expenditures is expected to be
provided by cash on hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings from
the Venture's credit facility. Subject to the regulatory matters discussed
below and assuming successful renegotiation of its credit facility, the Venture
has sufficient sources of capital available in its ability to generate cash
from operations and to borrow under its credit facility to meet its presently
anticipated needs.

During the first quarter of 1992, the Venture renegotiated its debt
arrangements, which increased the maximum amount of debt available to
$183,000,000. Such new debt arrangements consist of $93,000,000 of Senior
Notes placed with a group of institutional lenders and a renegotiated
$90,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of commercial bank lenders.
The Venture used the funds from the Senior Notes to repay approximately
$88,000,000 of the $155,000,000 outstanding on its previous credit facility and
to repay advances from Intercable. The Venture used borrowings under its new
credit facility to repay the remaining balance on its previous credit facility.

The Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate of 8.64 percent and a
final maturity date of March 31, 2000. The Senior Notes call for interest only
payments for the first four years, with interest and accelerating amortization
of principal payments for the next four years. Interest is payable
semi-annually. The Senior Notes carry a "make-whole" premium, which is a
prepayment penalty, if they are prepaid prior to maturity. The make-whole
premium protects the lenders in the event that the funds are reinvested at a
rate below 8.64 percent, and is calculated per the note agreement.





19
20
The Venture's current revolving credit facility has a maximum amount
available of $90,000,000. As of December 31, 1993, $73,800,000 was outstanding
under the Venture's revolving credit agreement, leaving the Venture with
$16,200,000 of available borrowing capacity until March 31, 1994. The
revolving credit period will expire on March 31, 1994, at which time the
principal balance converts to a term loan payable in quarterly installments
with a final maturity date of March 31, 2000. The General Partner is
negotiating to to extend the revolving credit period for one year. Interest is
at the Venture's option of LIBOR plus 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, the CD rate
plus 1.375 percent to 1.875 percent or the Base Rate plus 0 percent to .50
percent. An annual commitment fee of .5 percent is required on the unused
portion of the facility until it converts to a term loan.

Both lending facilities are equal in standing with the other, and both
are equally secured by the assets of the Venture.

Regulation and Legislation


On October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act") which became
effective on December 4, 1992. This legislation has effected significant
changes to the regulatory environment in which the cable television industry
operates. The 1992 Cable Act generally allows for a greater degree of
regulation of the cable television industry. Under the 1992 Cable Act's
definition of effective competition, nearly all cable television systems in the
United States, including those owned and managed by the General Partner, are
subject to rate regulation of basic cable services. In addition, the 1992
Cable Act allows the FCC to regulate rates for non-basic service tiers other
than premium services in response to complaints filed by franchising
authorities and/or cable subscribers. In April 1993, the FCC adopted
regulations governing rates for basic and non-basic services. These
regulations, with which the Venture complied, became effective on September 1,
1993. See Item 1 for further discussion of the provisions of the 1992 Cable
Act.

Based on Intercable's assessment of the FCC's rulemakings concerning
rate regulation under the 1992 Cable Act, the Venture reduced the rates it
charged for certain regulated services. On an annualized basis, such rate
reductions will result in an estimated reduction in the Venture's revenue of
approximately $4,500,000, or approximately 5 percent, and a decrease in
operating income before depreciation and amortization of approximately
$4,300,000, or approximately 10 percent. In addition, on February 22, 1994,
the FCC announced a further rulemaking which, when implemented, could reduce
rates further. Based on the foregoing, the General Partner believes that the
new rate regulations will have a negative effect on the Venture's revenues and
operating income before depreciation and amortization. The General Partner has
undertaken actions to mitigate a portion of these reductions primarily through
(a) new service offerings, (b) product re-marketing and re-packaging and
(c)marketing efforts directed at non- subscribers. To the extent such
reductions are not mitigated, the values of the Venture's cable television
systems, which are calculated based on cash flow, could be adversely impacted.

The 1992 Cable Act contains new broadcast signal carriage
requirements, and the FCC has adopted regulations implementing the statutory
requirements. These new rules allow a local commercial broadcast television
station to elect whether to demand that a cable system carry its signal or to
require the cable system to negotiate with the station for "retransmission
consent." Additionally, cable systems also are required to obtain
retransmission consent from all "distant" commercial television stations
(except for commercial satellite-delivered independent "superstations"),
commercial radio stations and certain low-power television stations carried by
cable systems. The retransmission consent rules went into effect on October 6,
1993. In the cable television system owned by the Venture, no broadcast
stations withheld their consent to retransmission of their signal. Certain
broadcast signals are being carried pursuant to extensions offered to the
General Partner by broadcasters, including a one-year extension for carriage of
the CBS station owned and operated by the CBS network in Chicago. The General
Partner expects to conclude retransmission consent negotiations with those
stations whose signals are being carried pursuant to extensions, without having
to terminate the distribution of any of those signals. However, there can be
no assurance that such will occur. If any broadcast station currently being
carried pursuant to an extension is dropped, there could be a negative effect
on the system if a significant number of subscribers were to disconnect their
service.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Partners of Cable TV Fund 12-C:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CABLE TV
FUND 12-C (a Colorado limited partnership) as of December 31, 1993 and 1992,
and the related statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit) and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. 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 12-C as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CABLE TV FUND 12-C
(A Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1) ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS' INTERESTS

Formation and Business

Cable TV Fund 12-C ("Fund 12-C"), a Colorado limited
partnership, was formed on October 9, 1985, under a public program sponsored by
Jones Intercable, Inc. Fund 12-C was formed to acquire, construct, develop and
operate cable television systems. Jones Intercable, Inc. is the "General
Partner" and manager of Fund 12-C. The General Partner and its subsidiaries
also own and operate cable television systems. In addition, the General
Partner manages cable television systems for other limited partnerships for
which it is general partner and, also, for affiliated entities.

Fund 12-C owns an interest of approximately 15 percent in
Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture"), through capital contributions
made in 1986 of $20,700,000. The Venture acquired certain cable television
systems in New Mexico, California, and Florida during 1986. The Venture
incurred losses of $11,584,416, $14,884,365 and $17,828,600 in 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively, of which $1,769,867, $2,274,033 and $2,723,854,
respectively, were allocated to Fund 12-C.

Contributed Capital

The capitalization of Fund 12-C is set forth in the
accompanying statements of partners' capital (deficit). No limited partner is
obligated to make any additional contributions to partnership capital.

The General Partner purchased its interest in Fund 12-C by
contributing $1,000 to partnership capital.

All profits and losses of Fund 12-C are allocated 99 percent
to the limited partners and 1 percent to the General Partner, except for income
or gain from the sale or disposition of cable television properties, which will
be allocated to the partners based upon the formula set forth in the
Partnership Agreement, and interest income earned prior to the first
acquisition by Fund 12-C of a cable television system, which was allocated 100
percent to the limited partners.


(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Records

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on
the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Fund 12-C's tax returns are also prepared on the
accrual basis.

Investment in Cable Television Joint Venture

The investment in the Venture is accounted for under the
equity method due to Fund 12-C's influence on the Venture as a general partner.
The operations of the Venture are significant to Fund 12-C and should be
reviewed in conjunction with these financial statements. Reference is made to
the accompanying financial statements of the Venture on pages 29 to 41.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the 1993 presentation.





27
28
(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES

Management Fees and Distribution Ratios

The General Partner manages Fund 12-C 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.

Any partnership distributions made from cash flow (defined as
cash receipts derived from routine operations, less debt principal and interest
payments and cash expenses) are allocated 99 percent to the limited partners
and 1 percent to the General Partner. Any distributions other than interest
income on limited partnership subscriptions earned prior to the acquisition of
Fund 12-C's first cable television system or from cash flow, such as from the
sale or refinancing of a system or upon dissolution of the Fund 12-C, will be
made as follows: first, to the limited partners in an amount which, together
with all prior distributions, will equal the amount initially contributed by
the limited partners; the balance, 75 percent to the limited partners and 25
percent to the General Partner.


(4) INCOME TAXES

Income taxes have not been recorded in the accompanying
financial statements because they accrue directly to the partners. The Federal
and state income tax returns of Fund 12-C are prepared and filed by the General
Partner.

Fund 12-C'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 Fund 12-C's qualification
as such, or in changes with respect to Fund 12-C's recorded income or loss, the
tax liability of the general and limited partners would likely be changed
accordingly.

Taxable loss reported to the partners is different from that
reported in the 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 loss and
the net loss reported in the statements of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Partners of Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CABLE TV
FUND 12-BCD VENTURE (a Colorado general partnership) as of December 31, 1993
and 1992, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. These
financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility
of the General Partners' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and schedules 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 12-BCD Venture as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in the
index of financial statements are presented for purposes of complying with the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic
financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

CABLE TV FUND 12-BCD VENTURE
(A General Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1) ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS' INTERESTS

Formation and Business

On March 17, 1986, Cable TV Funds 12-B, 12-C and 12-D (the
"Venture Partners") formed Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture"). The
Venture was formed for the purpose of acquiring certain cable television
systems serving Tampa, Florida; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Palmdale,
California. Jones Intercable, Inc. ("Intercable"), the "General Partner" of
each of the Venture Partners, manages the Venture. Intercable and its
subsidiaries also own and operate cable television systems. In addition,
Intercable manages cable television systems for other limited partnerships for
which it is general partner and, also, for affiliated entities.

Contributed Capital

The capitalization of the Venture is set forth in the
accompanying statements of partners' capital.

All Venture distributions, including those made from cash
flow, from the sale or refinancing of Partnership property and on dissolution
of the Venture, shall be made to the Venture Partners in proportion to their
approximate respective interests in the Partnership as follows:

Cable TV Fund 12-B 9%
Cable TV Fund 12-C 15%
Cable TV Fund 12-D 76%
---
100%
===

Venture Acquisitions and Sales

The Venture owns and operates the cable television systems
serving certain areas in and around Albuquerque, New Mexico; Palmdale,
California; and Tampa, Florida.

On September 20, 1991, the Venture entered into a purchase and
sale agreement with an unaffiliated party to sell the cable television system
serving the area in and around California City, California for $2,620,000.
Closing on this transaction occurred on April 1, 1992. The proceeds were used
to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Venture's credit
facility.

The Venture's acquisitions were accounted for as purchases
with the individual purchase prices allocated to tangible and intangible assets
based upon an independent appraisal. The method of allocation of purchase
price was as follows: first, to the fair value of the net tangible assets
acquired; second, to the value of subscriber lists; third, to franchise costs;
and fourth, to cost in excess of interests in net assets purchased. Brokerage
fees paid to an affiliate of Intercable and other system acquisition costs were
capitalized and included in the cost of intangible assets.


(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Records

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





35
36
Property, Plant and Equipment

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

Distribution systems 5 - 15 years
Buildings 20 years
Equipment and tools 3 - 5 years
Premium television service equipment 5 years
Earth receive stations 5 - 15 years
Vehicles 3 years
Other property, plant and equipment 5 years

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

Intangible Assets

Costs assigned to franchises and subscriber lists and cost in
excess of interests in net assets purchased are amortized using the
straight-line method over the following remaining estimated useful lives:

Franchise costs 3 years
Subscriber lists 1 year
Cost in excess of interests in net assets purchased 32 years

Revenue Recognition

Subscriber prepayments are initially deferred and recognized
as revenue when earned.


(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH JONES INTERCABLE, INC. AND AFFILIATES

Brokerage Fees

The Jones Group, Ltd., an affiliate of the General Partner,
performs brokerage services for the Venture in connection with Venture
acquisitions and sales. For brokering two acquisitions in the Tampa System for
the Venture, The Jones Group, Ltd. was paid fees totaling $13,120, or 4 percent
of the transaction prices, during 1992. Additionally, The Jones Group, Ltd.
received $65,500, or 2.5 percent of the transaction price, during 1992 for
brokering a sale in the Palmdale System. For brokering the acquisitions of two
SMATV systems in the Tampa System for the Venture, The Jones Group, Ltd. was
paid fees totaling $55,400, or 4 percent of the original purchase prices,
during 1991. There were no brokerage fees paid during the year ended December
31, 1993.

Management Fees and Reimbursements

Intercable manages 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 Intercable for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991
were $4,456,577, $4,178,376 and $3,902,475, respectively.

The Venture reimburses Intercable for certain allocated
overhead and administrative expenses. These expenses represent the salaries
and related benefits paid to 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 the General Partner with respect
to each entity managed. Remaining overhead costs are allocated based on total
revenues and/or the cost of assets managed for the entity. 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.
Intercable believes





36
37

that the methodology used in allocating overhead and administrative expenses is
reasonable. Overhead and administrative expenses allocated to the Venture by
Intercable during the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 were
$6,048,783, $5,580,114 and $4,640,219, respectively.

The Venture was charged interest during 1993 at an average
interest rate of 10.61 percent on the amounts due Intercable, which
approximated Intercable's cost of borrowing. Total interest charged the
Venture by Intercable was $15,477, $126,073 and $171,942 during 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively.

Payments to Affiliates for Programming Services

The Venture receives programming from Superaudio and The Mind
Extension University, affiliates of Intercable. Payments to Superaudio totaled
$134,179, $132,091 and $120,851 in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.
Payments to The Mind Extension University totaled $79,002, $76,676 and $72,218
in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.


(4) DEBT



Debt consists of the following: December 31,
----------------------------------

1993 1992
------------- ------------

Lending institutions-
Revolving credit and term loan $ 73,800,000 $ 66,400,000
Senior secured notes 93,000,000 93,000,000

Capital lease obligations 898,697 1,040,488
------------- ------------
$167,698,697 $160,440,488


During the first quarter of 1992, the Venture renegotiated its
debt arrangements, which increased the maximum amount of debt available to
$183,000,000. The Venture's debt arrangements consist of $93,000,000 of Senior
Notes placed with a group of institutional lenders and a $90,000,000 revolving
credit agreement with a group of commercial bank lenders.

The Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate of 8.64 percent
and a final maturity date of March 31, 2000. The Senior Notes call for only
interest payments for the first four years, with interest and accelerating
amortization of principal payments for the next four years. Interest is
payable semi-annually. The Senior Notes carry a "make-whole" premium, which is
a prepayment penalty, if they are prepaid prior to maturity. The make-whole
premium protects the lenders in the event that the funds are reinvested at a
rate below 8.64 percent, and is calculated per the note agreement.

The Venture's current revolving credit facility has a maximum
amount available of $90,000,000. As of December 31, 1993, $73,800,000 was
outstanding under the current revolving credit agreement, leaving the Venture
with $16,200,000 of available borrowing capacity until March 31, 1994. The
revolving credit period is scheduled to expire on March 31, 1994, at which time
the principal balance will convert to a term loan payable in quarterly
installments with a final maturity date of March 31, 2000. The General Partner
is negotiating to extend the revolving credit period for one year. Interest is
at the Venture's option of LIBOR plus 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, the CD rate
plus 1.375 percent to 1.875 percent or the Base Rate plus 0 percent to .50
percent. An annual commitment fee of .5 percent is required on the unused
portion of the facility. The effective interest rates on amounts outstanding
on the Venture's revolving credit facility as of December 31, 1993 and 1992
were 4.08 percent and 5.29 percent, respectively.

Both lending facilities are equal in standing with the other,
and both are equally secured by the assets of the Venture.

During 1992, the Venture incurred costs associated with
renegotiating its debt arrangements. These fees were capitalized and are being
amortized over the life of the debt agreements.

During 1988, the Venture entered into an interest rate cap
agreement covering outstanding debt obligations of an additional $25,000,000.
The Venture paid a fee of $957,500. The agreement protects the Venture from
interest rates that exceed 10 percent for five years from the date of the
agreement. The fee was charged to interest expense over the life of this
agreement using the straight-line method.

Installments due on debt principal for each of the five years
in the period ending December 31, 1998 and thereafter, respectively, are:
$2,262,209, $4,697,609, $7,945,609, $30,201,870, $36,681,000 and $85,910,400,
respectively.


(5) INCOME TAXES

Income taxes have not been recorded in the accompanying
financial statements because they accrue directly to the partners of Cable TV
Funds 12-B, 12-C and 12-D.

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

Taxable losses reported to the partners is different from that
reported in the statements of operations due to the difference in depreciation
allowed 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 or losses and
the net losses reported in the statements of operations.


(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act") which became
effective on December 4, 1992. The 1992 Cable Act generally allows for a
greater degree of regulation in the cable television industry. In April 1993,
the FCC adopted regulations governing rates for basic and non-basic services.
These regulations became effective on September 1, 1993. Such regulations
caused reductions in rates for certain regulated services. On February 22,
1994, the FCC announced a further rulemaking which, when implemented, could
reduce rates further. The General Partner plans to mitigate a portion of these
reductions primarily through (a) new service offerings, (b) product
re-marketing and re- packaging and (c) marketing efforts directed at
non-subscribers.

The 1992 Cable Act contains new broadcast signal carriage
requirements, and the FCC has adopted regulations implementing the statutory
requirements. These new rules allow a local commercial broadcast television
station to elect whether to demand that a cable system carry its signal or to
require the cable system to negotiate with the station for "retransmission
consent." Additionally, cable systems also are required to obtain
retransmission consent from all "distant" commercial television stations
(except for commercial satellite-delivered independent "superstations"),
commercial radio stations and certain low-power television stations carried by
cable systems. The retransmission consent rules went into effect on October 6,
1993. In the cable television systems owned by the Venture, no broadcast
stations withheld their consent to retransmission of their signal. Certain
broadcast signals are being carried pursuant to extensions offered to the





38
39
General Partner by broadcasters, including a one-year extension for carriage of
the CBS station owned and operated by the CBS network in Chicago. The General
Partner expects to conclude retransmission consent negotiations with those
stations whose signals are being carried pursuant to extensions, without having
to terminate the distribution of any of those signals. However, there can be
no assurance that such will occur. If any broadcast station currently being
carried pursuant to an extension is dropped, there could be a negative effect
on the system if a significant number of subscribers were to disconnect their
service.

In February 1993, the General Partner entered into a
settlement agreement related to litigation brought by Sunbelt Television, Inc.
against the Venture in the amount of $2,850,000. As of December 31, 1992, the
Venture had accrued $2,850,000, which was reflected as an increase in other
expense in the 1992 statement of operations. The settlement was paid by the
Venture in March 1993.

Offices and other facilities are rented under various
long-term lease arrangements. Rent paid under such lease arrangements totaled
$454,229, $450,295 and $345,994, respectively, for the years ended December 31,
1993, 1992 and 1991. Minimum commitments under operating leases for the five
years in the period ending December 31, 1998 and thereafter are as follows:



1994 $ 504,514
1995 463,103
1996 457,600

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Partnerships have no employees; however, various personnel are
required to operate the cable television systems owned by the Partnerships.
Such personnel are employed by the General Partner and, pursuant to the terms
of the limited partnership agreements of the Partnerships, the cost of such
employment is charged by the General Partner to the Partnerships as a direct
reimbursement item. See Item 13.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGERS

No person or entity owns more than 5 percent of the limited
partnership interests in any of the Partnerships.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The General Partner and its affiliates engage in certain transactions
with the Partnerships as contemplated by the limited partnership agreements of
the Partnerships and as disclosed in the prospectus for the Partnerships. The
General Partner believes that the terms of such transactions, which are set
forth in the Partnerships' limited partnership agreements, are generally as
favorable as could be obtained by the Partnerships from unaffiliated parties.
This determination has been made by the General Partner in good faith, but none
of the terms were or will be negotiated at arm's-length and there can be no
assurance that the terms of such transactions have been or will be as favorable
as those that could have been obtained by the Partnerships from unaffiliated
parties.

The General Partner charges the Partnerships for management fees, and
the Partnerships reimburse the General Partner for certain allocated overhead
and administrative expenses in accordance with the terms of the limited
partnership agreements of the Partnerships. These expenses consist primarily
of salaries and benefits paid to corporate personnel, rent, data processing
services and other facilities costs. Such personnel provide engineering,
marketing, administrative, accounting, legal and investor relations services to
the Partnerships. Allocations of personnel costs are based primarily on actual
time spent by employees of the General Partner with respect to each Partnership
managed. Remaining overhead costs are allocated based on revenues and/or the
cost of assets managed for the Partnerships. Systems owned by the General
Partner and all other systems owned by partnerships for which Jones Intercable,
Inc. is the general partner are also allocated a proportionate share of these
expenses.

The General Partner also advances funds and charges interest on the
balance payable from the Partnerships. The interest rate charged the
Partnerships approximates the General Partner's weighted average cost of
borrowing. Affiliates of the General Partner have received amounts from the
Partnerships for performing brokerage services.

46


The Systems receive stereo audio programming from Superaudio, a joint
venture owned 50% by an affiliate of the General Partner and 50% by an
unaffiliated party, for a fee based upon the number of subscribers receiving
the programming. These systems also receive educational video programming from
Mind Extension University, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, for a fee
based upon the number of subscribers receiving the programming.

The charges to the Partnerships for related transactions are as
follows for the periods indicated:
