NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
---------------------------------------
(Unaudited)

(1) The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 has been derived from
the audited balance sheet as of that date. The condensed balance sheet as of
September 30, 2002, the condensed statement of operations for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the condensed statement of cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 have been prepared
by Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd. (the "Partnership") and have not been audited by the
Partnership's independent auditors. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows as of September 30, 2002 and for all periods presented
have been made.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the
Partnership's annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or
omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's
December 31, 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods presented
are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

The Partnership owns no properties. The Partnership has continued in
existence because of pending litigation in which the Partnership is a party. It
cannot be predicted when the Partnership will be dissolved.

(2) 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 for the administration of the Partnership
until the Partnership is dissolved. Such charges were included in administrative
expenses and other, net in the accompanying condensed statement of operations.
Reimbursements made to the general partner by the Partnership for administrative
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were $11,442, $23,878, $38,733 and
$85,488, respectively.

Litigation Challenging Jones Intercable's Acquisitions of Certain Cable Systems

In June 1999, Jones Intercable was named a defendant in a case
captioned City Partnership Co., derivatively on behalf of Cable TV Fund 12-C,
Ltd., Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd. and Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture, plaintiff v.
Jones Intercable, Inc., defendant and Cable TV Fund 12-C, Ltd., Cable TV Fund
12-D, Ltd. and Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture, nominal defendants (U.S. District
Court, District of Colorado, Civil Action No. 99-WM-1155) (the "City
Partnership" case) brought by City Partnership Co., a limited partner of the
named partnerships. The plaintiff's complaint alleges that Jones Intercable
breached its fiduciary duty to the plaintiff and to the other limited partners
of the partnerships and to the Venture in connection with the Venture's sale of
the Palmdale, California cable communications system (the "Palmdale System") to
a subsidiary of Jones Intercable in December 1998. The complaint alleges that
Jones Intercable acquired the Palmdale System at an unfairly low price that did
not accurately reflect the market value of the Palmdale System. The plaintiff
also alleges that the proxy solicitation materials delivered to the limited
partners of the partnerships in connection with the votes of the limited
partners on the Venture's sale of the Palmdale 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 partnerships' limited partnership agreements 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 partnerships' funds to finance Jones
Intercable's defense of this litigation.

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-

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
---------------------------------------------------
(Unaudited)

A, Ltd. and Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd., nominal defendants (U.S. District Court,
District of Colorado, Civil Action No. 99-B-1508) (the "Gramercy Park" case)
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 Palmdale System, the Albuquerque, New Mexico cable
communications system (the "Albuquerque System"), the Littlerock, California
cable communications system (the "Littlerock System") and the Calvert County,
Maryland cable communications system (the "Calvert County System") 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 System, the Palmdale
System, the Littlerock System and the Calvert County System 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 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 Schumacher 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 Margolin plaintiffs' complaint is similar to the allegations
raised in the Gramercy Park case.

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. The
cases are presented as both class and derivative actions. In June 2001, the
plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification. In August 2001, the General
Partner filed a brief in opposition to plaintiffs' motion for class
certification. In September 2002, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion for
class certification.

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 these lawsuits vigorously.

Litigation Relating to Limited Partnership List Requests

In July 1999, Jones Intercable, each of its subsidiaries that served 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).

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Concluded)
---------------------------------------------------
(Unaudited)

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. Defendants demurred to the amended complaint in March 2000. In May 2000,
the Court sustained the defendants' demurrers without leave to amend as to all
plaintiffs except KM Investments, the sole plaintiff that was a limited partner
in any of the partnerships, thereby dismissing all claims on the merits except
those of KM Investments. In August 2000, all plaintiffs except KM Investments
appealed this ruling to the California State Court of Appeal for the Second
Appellate District. In June 2001, the appellate court ruled that all of the
plaintiffs have standing to bring the action, and the trial court's judgment was
reversed. The case is now proceeding to discovery and the trial date, originally
scheduled for October 2002, has been rescheduled for January 2003.

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.

The only asset of the Partnership at September 30, 2002 was its cash on

cannot be predicted when the Partnership will be dissolved.
