JONES CABLE INCOME 1-A, LTD. By Jones Intercable, Inc., General Partner Dated: May 20, 1997 By: /s/ Larry Kaschinske -------------------- Larry Kaschinske Vice President/Controller (30018) 4 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF JONES CABLE INCOME FUND 1-A, LTD. On March 11, 1997, Jones Cable Income Fund 1-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") sold the cable television system serving Milwaukie, Oregon (the "Milwaukie System") to an unaffiliated party for a sales price of $8,200,000, subject to normal working capital closing adjustments. From the sale proceeds, the Partnership repaid $3,200,000 of the amount outstanding under its credit facility, paid a brokerage fee of 2.5 percent of the sales price, or $205,000, to The Jones Group, Ltd., a subsidiary of the General Partner, for acting as a broker in this transaction, and then made a distribution of $4,505,000 to the Partnership's limited partners. This distribution gave the Partnership's limited partners an approximate return of $530 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership. This distribution, together with all prior distributions, has given the Partnership's limited partners a return of approximately $1,512 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership. Because the distributions made on the sale of the Milwaukie System together with all prior distributions made by the Partnership do not total the amounts originally contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners plus the liquidation preference as set forth in the partnership agreement, the General Partner did not receive any general partner distribution on the sale of the Milwaukie System. Because the sale of the Milwaukie System did not represent the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, no vote of the limited partners of the Partnership was required to approve the sale. The Partnership will continue to own and operate its Owatonna/Glencoe, Minnesota System. Because the Milwaukie System was sold on March 11, 1996, the effect of the sale is reflected on the Partnership's Balance Sheet as set forth in Form 10-Q filed on May 13, 1997. Accordingly, no balance sheet data is included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information. The following unaudited pro forma statements of operations assume that the Partnership had sold the Milwaukie System on January 1, 1996. The pro forma adjustments were based on the historical performance of the Milwaukie System. In addition, adjustment was made to reflect the decrease in interest expense due to the repayment of amounts outstanding on the partnership's credit facility with proceeds for the sale. ALL OF THE FOLLOWING UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION IS BASED UPON AMOUNTS AS OF MARCH 31, 1997. FINAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER FROM SUCH INFORMATION. 5 JONES CABLE INCOME FUND 1-A, LTD.
