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 fair presentation of the Balance Sheets and
Statements of Operations and Cash Flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, this data includes
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to
present fairly the financial position of Cable TV Fund 12-B, Ltd.
("Partnership") at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and its Statements of
Operations and Cash Flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and
1995. Results of operations for these periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the full year.
As a result of the sale of the cable television system serving areas in and
around Augusta, Georgia (the "Augusta System"), the Partnership owns no
properties directly. The Partnership continues to own a 9 percent interest in
Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture"). The Venture owns and operates the
cable television systems serving certain areas in and around Albuquerque, New
Mexico and Palmdale, California. As discussed below, the Venture sold the cable
television system serving the areas in and around Tampa, Florida (the "Tampa
System") on February 28, 1996.
(2) Jones Intercable, Inc., a publicly held Colorado corporation (the "General
Partner"), manages the Partnership and receives a fee for its services equal to
5 percent of the gross revenues of the Partnership, excluding revenues from the
sale of cable television systems or franchises. The Partnership owns no
properties directly. It holds cable television systems only through its
investment in the Venture. Management fees paid by the Venture to the General
Partner during the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
(attributable to the Partnership's 9 percent interest in the Venture) were
$108,073, and $110,886, respectively.
The Venture reimburses the General Partner for certain allocated overhead
and administrative expenses. These expenses represent the salaries and related
benefits paid for 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 primarily based on actual time
spent by employees of the General Partner with respect to each partnership
managed. Remaining expenses are allocated based on the pro rata relationship of
the Partnership's revenues to the total revenues of all systems owned or managed
by the General Partner and certain of its subsidiaries. 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 believes that the methodology used in
allocating overhead and administrative expenses is reasonable. Reimbursements
made by the Venture to the General Partner for allocated overhead and
administrative expenses during the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and
1995 (attributable to the Partnership's 9 percent interest in the Venture) were
$146,979 and $167,549, respectively. See Note 4 for disclosure of the total
management fees and allocated overhead and administrative expenses paid by the
Venture.
(3) On February 28, 1996, the Venture sold the Tampa System to JCH for a sales
price of $110,395,667, subject to normal working capital closing adjustments.
This price represented the average of three separate, independent appraisals of
the fair market value of the Tampa System. In February 1996, the Venture's debt
arrangements were amended to permit a $55,000,000 distribution to the Venture's
partners from the sale proceeds, and the balance of the sale proceeds were used
to reduce Venture indebtedness. The Partnership's portion of this distribution
was $5,049,000, of which approximately $3,787,000 was distributed to limited
partners and approximately $1,262,000 was distributed to the General Partner in
March 1996. The Partnership also then distributed $1,200,000 of proceeds
remaining from the sale of the Augusta System, of which $900,000 was distributed
to limited partners and $300,000 was distributed to the General Partner. These
distributions have given the Partnership's limited partners an approximate
return of $1,798 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership.

The pro forma effect of the sale of the Tampa System on the results of the
Venture's operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,

MANAGEMENTS'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
----------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
On February 28, 1996, the Venture sold the Tampa System to JCH for a sales
price of $110,395,667, subject to normal working capital closing adjustments.
This price represented the average of three separate, independent appraisals of
the fair market value of the Tampa System. In February 1996, the Venture's debt
arrangements were amended to permit a $55,000,000 distribution to the Venture's
partners from the sale proceeds, and the balance of the sale proceeds were used
to reduce Venture indebtedness. The Partnership's portion of this distribution
was $5,049,000, of which approximately $3,787,000 was distributed to limited
partners and approximately $1,262,000 was distributed to the General Partner in
March 1996. The Partnership also then distributed $1,200,000 of proceeds
remaining from the sale of the Augusta System, of which $900,000 was distributed
to limited partners and $300,000 was distributed to the General Partner. These
distributions have given the Partnership's limited partners an approximate
return of $1,798 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership.
The Partnership owns a 9 percent interest in the Venture. The
Partnership's investment in the Venture is accounted for under the equity
method. The Partnership's share of losses generated by the Venture have exceeded
the Partnership's initial investment in the Venture; therefore, the investment
is classified as a liability. This liability decreased by $1,274,677, which
represents the Partnership's share of income generated by the Venture for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, reduced by the distribution from the Venture.
Capital expenditures for the Venture totaled approximately $5,128,000
during the first quarter of 1996. New plant construction accounted for
approximately 42 percent of the capital expenditures. Service drops to homes
accounted for approximately 41 percent of the capital expenditures. The
remaining expenditures related to various system enhancements. These capital
expenditures were funded primarily from cash generated from operations and
borrowings from the General Partner. Expected capital expenditures for the
remainder of 1996 are approximately $10,100,000. Service drops to homes are
anticipated to account for approximately 46 percent. Approximately 26 percent of
budgeted capital expenditures is for new plant construction. 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 amended
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.
The Venture's debt arrangements at March 31, 1996 consisted of $59,350,000
of Senior Notes placed with a group of institutional lenders and a $120,000,000
credit facility 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 payments of interest
only to March 1996, with interest and accelerating principal payments required
for the four years thereafter, payable semi-annually in March and September. In
February 1996, the Venture was required to make a principal repayment of
approximately $33,650,000 from proceeds received from the sale of the Tampa
System. The Senior Notes carry a "make-whole" payment, which is a prepayment
penalty, in the event the notes are prepaid prior to maturity. The make-whole
payment protects the lenders in the event that prepaid funds are reinvested at a
rate below 8.64 percent. The Venture was required to pay a make-whole payment
in February 1996 of approximately $2,217,000. The principal and interest
payment of approximately $1,978,000 due in 1996, is expected to be funded from
cash on hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Venture's
new credit facility.
Upon the sale of the Tampa System and, as required under the Venture's
credit facility, $22,000,000 of the sales proceeds were used to reduce amounts
outstanding under its then-existing $87,000,000 credit facility. In February
1996, the Venture increased the amount available to $120,000,000 to meet the
Venture's long-term financing requirements. The balance outstanding on the
Venture's amended credit facility at March 31, 1996 was $76,430,620, leaving
$43,569,380 outstanding. The credit facility matures on December 31, 1999 or,
at the Venture's option, on December 31, 2004. In the
8
event the Venture elects the latter maturity date, the credit facility shall
amortize in consecutive quarterly amounts. Interest on the amended credit
facility is at the Venture's option of the London Interbank Offered Rate plus
.625 percent to 1.375 percent, the Base Rate plus 0 percent to .375 percent or
the Certificate of Deposit Rate plus .75 percent to 1.50 percent. The effective
interest rates on amounts outstanding on the Venture's credit facility as of
March 31, 1996 and 1995 were 8.1 percent and 8.4 percent, respectively.
Both lending facilities are equal in standing with the other, and both are
equally secured by the assets of the Venture.
The General Partner believes that cash generated from operations and
borrowings from the Venture's amended credit facility will be sufficient to fund
capital expenditures and other liquidity needs of the Venture.
REGULATION AND LEGISLATION
- --------------------------
The Venture has filed cost-of-service showings in response to rulemakings
concerning the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992
(the "1992 Cable Act") for its systems and thus anticipates no further
reductions in rates in these systems. The cost-of-service showings have not yet
received final approvals from regulatory authorities, however, and there can be
no assurance that the Venture's cost-of-service showings will prevent further
rate reductions in these systems until such final approvals are received.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), which became law on
February 8, 1996, substantially revised the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, including the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 and the 1992
Cable Act, and has been described as one of the most significant changes in
communications regulation since the original Communications Act of 1934. The
1996 Act is intended, in part, to promote substantial competition in the
telephone local exchange and in the delivery of video and other services. As a
result of the 1996 Act, local telephone companies (also known as local exchange
carriers or "LECs") and other service providers are permitted to provide video
programming, and cable television operators are permitted entry into the
telephone local exchange market. The FCC is required to conduct rulemaking
proceedings over the next several months to implement various provisions of the
1996 Act.
Among other provisions, the 1996 Act modified the 1992 Cable Act by
deregulating the cable programming service tier of large cable operators
effective March 31, 1999 and the cable programming service tier of "small" cable
operators in systems providing service to 50,000 or fewer subscribers effective
immediately. The 1996 Act also revised the procedures for filing cable
programming service tier rate complaints and adds a new effective competition
test.
It is premature to predict the specific effects of the 1996 Act on the
cable industry in general or the Venture in particular. The FCC will be
undertaking numerous rulemaking proceedings to interpret and implement the 1996
Act. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of those
proceedings or their effect on the Venture.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
As a result of the Partnership's sale of the Augusta System, its results of
operations are represented by its 9 percent interest in the Venture.
Revenues in the Venture's systems totaled $23,545,320 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to $24,158,092 for the similar 1995 period, a
decrease of $612,772, or approximately 3 percent. This decrease was due to the
sale of the Tampa System. Disregarding the effect of the Tampa System sale,
revenues would have increased $1,336,588, or approximately 8 percent. Basic
service rate adjustments accounted for approximately 43 percent of the increase
in revenues. At March 31, 1996, the Venture's Albuquerque, New Mexico and
Palmdale, California cable television systems had 175,697 basic subscribers
compared to 167,940 at March 31, 1995, an increase of approximately 5 percent.
This increase in basic subscribers accounted for approximately 35 percent of the
increase in revenues. Pay television increases accounted for approximately 15
percent of the increase in revenues. No other single factor significantly
affected the increase in revenues.
Operating expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the
administration of the Partnership's cable television systems. The principal
cost components are salaries paid to system personnel, programming expenses,
professional fees, subscriber billing costs, rent for leased facilities, cable
system maintenance expenses and consumer marketing expenses.
9
Operating expenses in the Venture's systems totaled $14,741,425 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $14,088,828 for the similar 1995
period, an increase of $652,597, or approximately 5 percent. Disregarding the
effect of the Tampa System sale, operating expenses would have increased
$563,416, or approximately 5 percent. Operating expenses for the Venture's
Albuquerque, New Mexico and Palmdale, California cable television systems
represented 58 percent of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
compared to 60 percent for the three months ended March 31, 1995. The increases
in operating expenses were due to increases in programming costs, personnel
costs and plant related costs. No other individual factor contributed
significantly to the increase in operating expenses.
Management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner totaled
$2,778,348 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared to $3,033,059 for the
similar 1995 period, a decrease of $254,711, or approximately 8 percent. This
decrease was due to the sale of the Tampa System. Disregarding the effect of
the Tampa System sale, management fees and allocated overhead from the General
Partner would have increased $21,706, or approximately 1 percent. This increase
was primarily due to the increase in revenues, upon which such fees are based.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $6,117,468 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 compared to $6,683,999 for the similar 1995 period, a
decrease of $566,531, or approximately 8 percent. Disregarding the effect of
the Tampa System sale, depreciation and amortization expense would have
increased $25,130, or approximately 1 percent. This was due primarily to
capital additions during 1995.
The Venture reported an operating loss of $91,921 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 compared to operating income of $352,206 for the similar 1995
period. Disregarding the effect of the Tampa System sale, the Venture would
have reported operating income of $525,211 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1996 compared to an operating loss of $201,122 for the similar 1995
period. This change was due to the increases in revenues in the Partnership's
Albuquerque, New Mexico and Palmdale, California cable television systems
exceeding the increases in operating expenses, management fees and allocated
overhead expenses from the General Partner and depreciation and amortization
expense.
The cable television industry generally measures the financial performance
of a cable television system in terms of cash flow or operating income before
depreciation and amortization. The value of a cable television system is often
determined using multiples of cash flow. This measure is not intended to be a
substitute or improvement upon the items disclosed on the financial statements,
rather it is included because it is an industry standard. Operating income
before depreciation and amortization totaled $6,025,547 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to $7,036,205 for the similar 1995 period, a
decrease of $1,010,658, or approximately 14 percent. If not for the sale of the
Tampa System, operating income before depreciation and amortization would have
increased $751,463, or approximately 16 percent. This increase was due to the
increase in revenues in the Partnership's Albuquerque, New Mexico and Palmdale,
California cable television systems exceeding the increases in operating
expenses and management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner.
Interest expense totaled $3,161,193 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 compared to $3,945,142 for the similar 1995 period, a decrease of $783,949,
or approximately 20 percent. This decrease in interest expense was primarily
due to the lower outstanding balance on the Partnership's interest bearing
obligations.
The Venture recognized a gain of $72,137,615 related to the sale of the
Tampa System in February 1996. No similar gain was recognized in 1995.
The Venture reported net income of $68,885,363 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 compared to a net loss of $3,579,533 for the similar 1995 period
due to the gain on the sale of the Tampa System.
