NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
---------------------------------------
(1) This Form 10-Q is being filed in conformity with the SEC requirements
for unaudited financial statements and does not contain all of the necessary
footnote disclosures required for a complete presentation of the Balance Sheets
and Statements of Operations and Cash Flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, this data
includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals,
necessary to present fairly the financial position of Jones Spacelink
Income/Growth Fund 1-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") at September 30, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, its Statements of Operations for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and its Statements of Cash Flows for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. Certain prior period
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.
The Partnership has sold all of its cable television systems. The
Partnership's only current asset is cash on hand. It is anticipated that the
Partnership will be fully liquidated and dissolved by December 31, 2000.
Prior to its dissolution, the Partnership will accrue funds to cover its
remaining administrative costs. All cash remaining after such accrual is made
will be distributed to the Partnership's partners pursuant to the distribution
procedures established by the Partnership's limited partnership agreement. It is
expected that all limited partners will receive final distribution checks from
the Partnership before the end of December 2000.
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. 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 with and into Comcast JOIN Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of Comcast. As a result of this transaction, Jones Intercable no longer exists
and Comcast JOIN Holdings, Inc. continued as the surviving corporation of the
merger. On August 1, 2000 Comcast JOIN Holdings, Inc. was merged with and into
Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. ("Comcast Cable"), another wholly owned
subsidiary of Comcast. Comcast Cable is now the general partner of the
Partnership. References in these Notes to "the General Partner" refer to Comcast
Cable. The General Partner shares corporate offices with Comcast at 1500 Market
Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102-2148.
(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 to the administration of the
Partnership until the Partnership is dissolved. Such costs were charged to other
expense on the Statements of Operations. Reimbursements made to the general
partner by the Partnership for administrative expenses were $4,909 and $24,121
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively,
compared to $3,170 and $3,371 respectively, for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1999.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
The Partnership has sold all of its cable television systems. The
Partnership's only current asset is cash on hand. It is anticipated that the
Partnership will be fully liquidated and dissolved by December 31, 2000.
Prior to its dissolution, the Partnership will accrue funds to cover its
remaining administrative costs. All cash remaining after such accrual is made
will be distributed to the Partnership's partners pursuant to the distribution
procedures established by the Partnership's limited partnership agreement. It is
expected that all limited partners will receive final distribution checks from
the Partnership before the end of December 2000.
The Partnership's current and periodic reporting obligations under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Partnership's quarterly and
annual reporting obligations under Section 3.7 of the Partnership's limited
partnership agreement will cease upon the Partnership's termination. As a
result, it is expected that this quarterly report on SEC Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000 will be the Partnership's final detailed
financial report to limited partners.
During the first quarter of 2001, the General Partner will deliver final
tax reports on Form 1065, Schedule K-1 to all limited partners of record as of
the date of the Partnership's dissolution. If, as expected, the Partnership is
dissolved before the end of 2000, the Partnership and its partners will have no
tax reporting obligations beyond the taxable year 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
The Partnership has sold all of its cable television systems. The
Partnership earned interest income of $24,257 on its cash on hand. Other expense
of $67,656 incurred in the first nine months of 2000 related to various costs
associated with the administration and liquidation of the Partnership.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Partnership and the General Partner are among the defendants in a
case captioned Everest Cable Investors, LLC, et al., plaintiffs v. Jones
---------------------------------------------------------
Intercable, Inc., et al., defendants (Superior Court, Los Angeles County, State
- ------------------------------------
of California, Case No. BC 213632). The case was originally filed in July 1999.
Subsequently, demurrers were sustained as to a substantial portion of the
action, and the court did not allow the plaintiffs to seek to amend and re-file
their claims. As a result, the plaintiffs elected to appeal the ruling of the
trial court as to the validity of their claims which had been dismissed. While
the appeal is pending, the trial court agreed to the parties' joint request to
stay the portion of the action that was not dismissed by the trial court when it
sustained the demurrers.
The Partnership has continued in existence since the sale of its cable
television system assets. The General Partner has determined, however, that it
is in the best interests of the Partnership and its limited partners to
liquidate and dissolve the Partnership before the end of the year 2000.
Although, prior to its dissolution, the Partnership will accrue funds to
pay for its remaining administrative expenses, the Partnership will not accrue
funds to cover its potential liabilities related to this litigation. Instead,
the General Partner will remain liable for the Partnership's liabilities, if
any, related to this case.
