                                    -------

                               ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
                               -----------------

          The Partnership.    Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
Colorado limited partnership that was formed pursuant to the public offering of
limited partnership interests in the Cable TV Fund 14 Limited Partnership
Program (the "Program"), which was sponsored by Jones Intercable, Inc. (the
"General Partner").  Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd. ("Fund 14-B") is the other
partnership that was formed pursuant to the Program.  The Partnership and Fund
14-B formed a general partnership known as Cable TV Fund 14-A/B Venture (the
"Venture").  The Partnership and the Venture were formed for the purpose of
acquiring and operating cable television systems.

          The Partnership directly owns cable television systems serving the
areas in and around Buffalo, Minnesota (the "Buffalo System"), Naperville,
Illinois (the "Naperville System") and Calvert County, Maryland (the "Calvert
County System"), all of which are in the process of being sold.  The Venture
owned and operated the cable television system serving certain areas in Broward
County, Florida (the "Broward System") until its sale on March 31, 1998.  The
Partnership owned a 27 percent interest in the Venture until it was liquidated
and dissolved in October 1998.  The Buffalo System, the Naperville System and
the Calvert County System may collectively be referred to as the "Systems."

          It is anticipated that Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") will acquire a
controlling interest in the General Partner during April 1999.  As a result of
this transaction, it is expected that the current management of the General
Partner and a majority of the Board of Directors of the General Partner will be
replaced by Comcast.

          Disposition of Cable Television System by the Venture.

          Broward System.  In March 1998, the Venture sold the Broward System to
          --------------                                                        
an unaffiliated third party for $140,000,000.  The agreement provided that the
contract price of $140,000,000 would be reduced $2,472 for each of the Broward
System's equivalent basic subscribers less than 56,637 at closing.  At March 31,
1998, the Broward System had 55,346 equivalent basic subscribers, which reduced
the sales price by $3,191,352.  When final closing adjustments were completed on
June 30, 1998, however, additional equivalent basic subscribers that were not
able to be counted as basic subscribers of the Broward System at the March 31,
1998 closing (because they were relatively recent subscribers at such date) were
able to be counted as equivalent basic subscribers of the Broward System.  These
basic subscribers brought the equivalent basic subscriber count up to 56,637 and
the sales price accordingly was adjusted upward by $3,191,352 to $140,000,000.

          From the proceeds of the Broward System sale at the initial closing,
the Venture settled working capital adjustments, repaid the outstanding balance
on its credit facility, which totaled $39,902,968, and paid a 2.5 percent
brokerage fee of $3,420,216 to The Intercable Group, Ltd., a subsidiary of the
General Partner ("The Intercable Group"), for acting as a broker in this
transaction.  The Venture then distributed the remaining net sale proceeds, or
$94,039,000, to the Partnership and Fund 14-B in proportion to their ownership
interests in the Venture.  Accordingly, the Partnership received 27 percent of
the net sale proceeds, or $25,484,569, which the Partnership distributed in
April 1998 to its limited partners of record as of March 31, 1998.  Such
distribution represented approximately $159 for each $500 limited partnership
interest, or $318 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership.

                                       2

 
          From the additional proceeds of the Broward System sale at final
closing, the Venture settled final working capital adjustments and paid a 2.5
percent brokerage fee of $79,784 to The Intercable Group. The Venture then
distributed the remaining additional net sale proceeds, or $1,669,056, to the
Partnership and Fund 14-B in proportion to their ownership interests in the
Venture. Accordingly, the Partnership received 27 percent of the additional net
sale proceeds, or $452,433. The Partnership retained the $452,433 for working
capital purposes. Because the distributions to the limited partners from the
sale of the Broward System, together with all prior distributions, did not
return to the limited partners 125 percent of the capital initially contributed
to the Partnership by the limited partners, the General Partner did not receive
any general partner distribution from the Broward System's sale. Because the
Broward System represented the only asset of the Venture, the Venture was
liquidated and dissolved in October 1998.

Proposed Dispositions of Cable Television Systems by the Partnership.

          Buffalo System.  On November 6, 1998, the Partnership entered into a
          --------------                                                      
purchase and sale agreement, as amended, to sell the Buffalo System to an
unaffiliated party for a sales price of $26,605,000, subject to customary
closing adjustments. Closing of the sale is expected to occur in late March
1999. The holders of a majority of the limited partnership interests approved
this sale in a vote conducted by the General Partner in the first quarter of
1999. Upon the proposed sale of the Buffalo System, based upon financial
information as of December 31, 1998, the Partnership will repay $13,302,500
outstanding on its revolving credit facility, pay a brokerage fee to The
Intercable Group totaling $665,125, representing 2.5 percent of the sales price,
for acting as a broker in this transaction, settle working capital adjustments
and deposit $1,200,000 into an indemnity escrow account. The remaining net sale
proceeds of approximately $10,856,000 will be distributed to the Partnership's
limited partners of record as of the closing date of the sale of the Buffalo
System. Because the distribution to the limited partners from the sale of the
Buffalo System, together with all prior distributions, will not return to the
limited partners more than 125 percent of the capital initially contributed to
the Partnership by the limited partners, all of the net proceeds from the sale
of the Buffalo System will be distributed to the limited partners. The limited
partner distribution from the sale of the Buffalo System will represent $68 for
each $500 limited partnership interest, or $136 for each $1,000 invested in the
Partnership.

          For a period of 90 days following the closing date, $1,200,000 of the
sale proceeds will remain in escrow as security for the Partnership's agreement
to indemnify the buyer under the asset purchase agreement. The Partnership's
primary exposure, if any, relates to the representations and warranties made
about the Buffalo System in the asset purchase agreement. Any amounts remaining
from this interest-bearing indemnity escrow account and not claimed by the buyer
at the end of the escrow period, plus interest earned on the escrowed funds,
will be returned to Partnership. From this amount, the Partnership will pay any
remaining liabilities and the Partnership will then distribute the balance to
its partners. The Partnership will continue in existence at least until any
amounts remaining from the indemnity escrow account have been distributed. If
any disputes with respect to the indemnification arise, the Partnership would
not be dissolved until such disputes were resolved.

          Naperville System.  On August 7, 1998, the Partnership entered into an
          -----------------                                                     
asset purchase agreement to sell the Naperville System to an unaffiliated party
for a sales price of $23,000,000, subject to customary closing adjustments.
Closing of the sale, which is expected to occur in April 1999, has been approved
by a majority of the limited partners in a vote conducted by the General Partner
in December 1998. Upon the proposed sale of the Naperville System, based upon
financial information as of December 31, 1998, the Partnership will repay the
balance outstanding on its revolving credit facility, estimated to total
$9,747,500, pay a brokerage fee to The Intercable Group of $575,000,
representing 2.5 percent of the sales price, for acting as a broker in this
transaction, settle working capital adjustments and deposit $696,000 into an
interest-bearing indemnity escrow account. The remaining net sale proceeds of
approximately $11,039,000 will be distributed to the Partnership's limited
partners of record as of the closing date of the sale of the Naperville System.
Based upon financial information as of December 31, 1998, this distribution will
provide the Partnership's limited partners an approximate return of $69 for each
$500 limited partnership interest, or $138 for each $1,000 invested in the
Partnership. Because the distribution to the limited partners from the proposed
sale of the Naperville System, together with all prior distributions, will not
return to the

                                       3

 
limited partners 125 percent of the capital initially contributed to the
Partnership by the limited partners, the General Partner will not receive a
general partner distribution from the sale of the Naperville system.

          In connection with the planned sale of the Naperville System, on March
5, 1999 the Partnership entered into a signal and service agreement with the
cable television company that will purchase the Naperville System.  Pursuant to
the terms of this agreement, the purchaser will provide certain services to the
Partnership relating to the operation of the Naperville System until the closing
of the sale, which is expected to occur in mid-April 1999.  The Partnership will
pay the puchaser fees and expense reimbursements related to this agreement, and
the Partnership will also indemnify the purchaser in connection with the
services it provides to the Partnership.  The management fees and expense
reimbursements that the Partnership otherwise would pay to the General Partner
will be reduced to offset the fees and expenses paid to the purchaser of the
Naperville System pursuant to the signal and service agreement.

          The $696,000 of the sale proceeds to be placed in the interest-bearing
indemnity escrow account will remain in escrow until November 15, 1999 as
security for the Partnership's agreement to indemnify the buyer under the asset
purchase agreement. The Partnership's primary exposure, if any, relates to the
representations and warranties made about the Naperville System in the asset
purchase agreement. Any amounts remaining from this interest-bearing indemnity
escrow account and not claimed by the buyer at the end of the escrow period,
plus interest earned on the escrowed funds, will be returned to the Partnership.
From this amount, the Partnership will pay any remaining liabilities and the
Partnership will then distribute the balance to its partners. The Partnership
will continue in existence at least until any amounts remaining from the
indemnity escrow account have been distributed. If any disputes with respect to
the indemnification arise, the Partnership would not be dissolved until such
disputes were resolved.

          Calvert County System.  On June 29, 1998, the Partnership entered into
          ---------------------                                                 
a purchase and sale agreement to sell the Calvert County System to an indirect
subsidiary of the General Partner, for a sales price of $39,388,667, subject to
customary closing adjustments.  The purchase price was determined by the average
of three separate independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Calvert
County System.  Closing of the sale, which is expected to occur in April 1999,
is subject to several conditions, including necessary governmental and other
third party consents and the approval of the holders of a majority of the
limited partnership interests in a vote conducted by the General Partner in
March and April 1999.  Upon the proposed sale of the Calvert County System,
which is expected to occur after the sale of the Buffalo System and the sale of
the Naperville System, the Partnership will pay certain fees and expenses of the
transaction and distribute the net sale proceeds of approximately $38,985,000 to
the Partnership's partners of record as of the closing date of the sale of the
Calvert County System.  Because at the time of the Calvert County System's sale,
the distributions expected to be made to the limited partners from the Calvert
County System sale and from prior sales of cable television systems will have
returned to the limited partners more than 125 percent of the amounts originally
contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners, the General Partner will
receive a general partner distribution from the proceeds of the sale of the
Calvert County System.  It is estimated that the limited partners, as a group,
will receive $33,757,000 from the sale of the Calvert County System and that the
General Partner will receive a general partner distribution of $5,228,000 from
the net sale proceeds.  The limited partner distribution from the sale of the
Calvert County System will represent $211 for each $500 limited partnership
interest, or $422 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership.

          Taking into account all distributions of the Partnership's portion of
the net proceeds from the prior sales of cable television systems and the
anticipated distributions from the proposed sales of the Partnership's remaining
cable television systems in 1999 (excluding escrowed proceeds), the General
Partner expects that the limited partners of the Partnership will receive
approximately $723 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $1,446 for
each $1,000 invested in the Partnership.

                                       4

 
          Following the close of the sales of the Buffalo System, the Naperville
System, the Calvert County System and the expiration of the indemnity escrow
periods, assuming there are no pending disputes, it is anticipated that the
Partnership will be dissolved before the end of 1999.


                              ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
                              -------------------

          The Partnership owns the Buffalo System, the Naperville System and the
Calvert County System, all of which are expected to be sold before the end of
April 1999.


                           ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
                           --------------------------

          Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd. v. City of Naperville and Ameritech New
          ----------------------------------------------------------------
Media, Inc. and City of Naperville v. Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd., United States
- --------------------------------------------------------------               
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, Case No.
96C 5962.  The Partnership is plaintiff and counter-defendant in a suit
challenging certain actions arising from the City of Naperville's grant of a
franchise to Ameritech New Media, Inc. ("Ameritech NMI").  Specifically, the
Partnership alleges that under Cable Act standards, the City should have
modified the Partnership's Naperville franchise because certain provisions of
the franchise are unduly burdensome in a competitive environment.  Further, the
Partnership alleges that the franchise granted by the City to Ameritech NMI is
materially more favorable than the franchise granted to the Partnership, that
this is contrary to Illinois law and that the Ameritech NMI franchise therefore
is void.  This suit also challenges the City's assertion that the Partnership
has breached its franchise in various ways, particularly by withholding certain
payments due to the City.  In its countersuit, the City seeks a declaratory
ruling that the Partnership has breached its franchise by withholding those same
payments and seeks to impose liquidated damages on the Partnership for such
breach.  On cross motions to dismiss and for partial summary judgment, the Court
issued a number of rulings that sustained the Partnership's right to proceed on
the majority of its claims.  The Court has also ruled that, in reviewing the
City's denial of modification, it will make its own factual determinations based
on a full evidentiary record to be developed by the parties.  A trial date has
not yet been set and it is anticipated that this litigation will be settled in 
connection with the proposed sale of the Naperville System in April 1999.


          ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
          ------------------------------------------------------------

                      -----------------------------------

          While the Partnership is publicly held, there is no public market for
the limited partnership interests, and it is not expected that a market will
develop in the future. During 1998, limited partners of the Partnership
conducted registered and unregistered tender offers for interests in the
Partnership at prices ranging from $160 to $305 per interest. As of February 16,
1999, the number of equity security holders in the Partnership was 11,260.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- -------  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
         OF OPERATIONS
         -------------

     The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") and Cable TV Fund 14-
A/B Venture (the "Venture") contains, in addition to historical information,
forward-looking statements that are based upon certain assumptions and are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.  The Partnership's and Venture's
actual results may differ significantly from the results predicted in such
forward-looking statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

     The Partnership sold two of its systems in 1997 and the Venture sold its
cable television system serving areas in and around Broward County, Florida (the
"Broward System") in March 1998.  The Partnership also has entered into
agreements to sell its cable television systems serving Buffalo, Minnesota (the
"Buffalo System"), which is expected to close in the first quarter of 1999, its
Naperville, Illinois (the "Naperville System") and Calvert County, Maryland (the
"Calvert County System"), which are expected to close in the second quarter of
1999. There is no assurance as to the timing or terms of any sales.

Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd.-
- ------------------------ 

     The Partnership is in various stages of selling its three remaining cable
television systems.  These transactions are discussed below in the order of
anticipated sale closing date.

     On November 6, 1998, the Partnership entered into an asset purchase
agreement, as amended, to sell the Buffalo System to an unaffiliated party for a
sales price of $26,605,000, subject to customary closing adjustments.  Closing
of the sale is expected to occur in March 1999. The holders of a majority of the
limited partnership interests approved this sale in a vote conducted by the
General Partner in the first quarter of 1999. Upon the proposed sale of the
Buffalo System, based upon financial information as of December 31, 1998, the
Partnership will repay $13,302,500 outstanding on its revolving credit facility,
pay a brokerage fee to The Intercable Group, Ltd. ("The Intercable Group"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner, totaling $665,125, representing
2.5 percent of the sales price, for acting as a broker in this transaction,
settle working capital adjustments and deposit $1,200,000 into an indemnity
escrow account. The remaining net sale proceeds of approximately $10,856,000
will be distributed to the Partnership's limited partners of record as of the
closing date of the sale of the Buffalo System. Based upon financial information
as of December 31, 1998, this distribution will give the Partnership's limited
partners an approximate return of $68 for each $500 limited partnership
interest, or $136 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership. Because the
distribution to the limited partners from the sale of the Buffalo System
together with all prior distributions, will not return to the limited partners
125 percent of the capital initially contributed to the Partnership by the
limited partners, the General Partner will not receive a general partner
distribution from the sale of the Buffalo System.

     For a period of 90 days following the closing date, $1,200,000 of the sale
proceeds will remain in escrow as security for the Partnership's agreement to
indemnify the purchaser under the asset purchase agreement.  The Partnership's
primary exposure, if any, will relate to the representations and warranties made
about the Buffalo System in the asset purchase agreement.  Any amounts remaining
from this interest-bearing indemnity escrow account that are not claimed by the
purchaser at the end of the 90-day period, plus interest earned on the escrowed
funds, will be returned to the Partnership.  From this amount, the Partnership
will pay any remaining liabilities and it will then distribute the balance to
the Partnership's partners.  Because the distribution to the limited partners
from the sale of the Partnership's remaining systems, together with all prior
distributions, will return to the limited partners more than 125 percent of the
capital initially contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners, the
General Partner will receive a distribution from the escrowed proceeds.  If the
entire $1,200,000 escrow amount is distributed to the partners, of which there
can be no assurance, the limited partners as a group would receive 75 percent
($900,000) and the General Partner would receive 25 percent ($300,000) of the
net escrow proceeds.

     On August 7, 1998, the Partnership signed an asset purchase agreement to
sell its Naperville System to an unaffiliated party for a sales price of
$23,000,000, subject to customary closing adjustments.  Closing of the sale,
which is expected to occur in April 1999, has been approved by a majority of the
limited partners in a vote conducted by the General Partner in December 1998.
Upon the proposed sale of the Naperville System, based upon financial
information as of December 31, 1998, the Partnership will repay the balance
outstanding on its revolving credit facility, estimated to total $9,747,500, pay
a brokerage fee to The Intercable Group totaling $575,000, representing 2.5
percent of the sales price, for acting as a broker in this transaction, settle
working capital adjustments, and then deposit $696,000 into an indemnity escrow
account.  The remaining net sale proceeds of approximately $11,039,000 will be
distributed to the Partnership's limited partners of record as of the closing
date of the sale of the Naperville System.  Based upon financial information as
of December 31, 1998, this distribution will give the Partnership's limited
partners an approximate return of $69 for each $500 limited partnership
interest, or $138 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership. Because the
distribution to the limited partners from the sale of the Naperville System and
the Buffalo System, together with all prior

                                       7

 
distributions, will not return to the limited partners 125 percent of the
capital initially contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners, the
General Partner will not receive a general partner distribution from the sale of
the Naperville System.

     In connection with the planned sale of the Naperville System, on March 5,
1999 the Partnership entered into a signal and service agreement with the cable
company that will purchase the system.  Pursuant to the terms of this agreement,
the purchaser will provide certain services to the Partnership relating to the
operations of the Naperville System until the closing of the sale, which is
expected to occur in mid-April 1999.  The Partnership will pay the purchaser
fees and expense reimbursements related to this agreement and the Partnership
will also indemnify the purchaser in connection with the service it provides to
the Partnership.  The management fees and expense reimbursements that the
Partnership otherwise would pay to the General Partner will be reduced to offset
the fees and expenses paid to the purchaser of the system pursuant to the signal
and service agreement.

     The $696,000 of sale proceeds to be placed in the interest-bearing
indemnity escrow account will remain in escrow from the closing date until
November 15, 1999 as security for the Partnership's agreement to indemnify the
buyer under the asset purchase agreement. The Partnership's primary exposure, if
any, will relate to the representations and warranties to be made about the
Naperville System in the asset purchase agreement. Any amounts remaining from
this interest-bearing indemnity escrow account and not claimed by the buyer at
the end of the escrow period, plus interest earned on the escrowed funds, will
be returned to the Partnership. From this amount, the Partnership will pay any
remaining liabilities and it will then distribute the balance to the
Partnership's partners. Because the distribution to the limited partners from
the sale of the Partnership's remaining systems, together with all prior
distributions, will return to the limited partners more than 125 percent of the
capital initially contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners, the
General Partner will receive a distribution from the escrowed proceeds. If the
entire $696,000 escrow amount is distributed to the partners, of which there can
be no assurance, the limited partners as a group would receive 75 percent
($522,000) and the General Partner would receive 25 percent ($174,000) of the
net escrow proceeds.

     On June 29, 1998, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sale
agreement to sell the Calvert County System to a subsidiary of the General
Partner for a sales price of $39,388,667, subject to customary closing
adjustments.  The purchase price was determined by the average of three separate
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Calvert County System.
Closing of the sale, which is expected to occur in April 1999, will be subject
to several conditions, including necessary governmental and other third party
consents and the approval of the holders of a majority of the limited
partnership interests in a vote conducted by the General Partner in March and
April 1999.  Upon the proposed sale of the Calvert County System, based upon
financial information as of December 31, 1998, the Partnership will pay certain
fees and expenses of the transaction and distribute the remaining net sale
proceeds of approximately $38,985,000 to the Partnership's partners of record as
of the closing date of the sale of the Calvert County System.  The limited
partners, as a group, will receive $33,757,000, and the General Partner will
receive a $5,228,000 general partner distribution from the net sale proceeds;
thus, the limited partners would receive approximately $211 for each $500
limited partnership interest, or $422 for each $1,000 invested in the
Partnership from the sale of the Calvert County System.

     The Partnership will continue in existence at least until any amounts
remaining from the indemnity escrow accounts have been distributed.  The
Partnership will be liquidated and dissolved upon the final distribution of any
amounts remaining from the Buffalo System's and Naperville System's indemnity
escrow accounts. If any disputes with respect to indemnification arise, the
Partnership would not be dissolved until such disputes were resolved, which
could result in the Partnership continuing in existence beyond 1999.

     Taking into account all distributions from prior sales and the anticipated
distributions of the net proceeds from the proposed sales of the Partnership's
remaining systems (excluding escrowed proceeds) in 1999, the General Partner
expects that the limited partners of the Partnership will receive approximately
$723 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $1,446 for each $1,000
invested in the Partnership.

     For the twelve months ended December 31, 1998, the Partnership generated
net cash from operating activities totaling $5,483,420, which is available to
fund capital expenditures and non-operating costs.  For the twelve months ended
December 31, 1998, capital expenditures totaled approximately $6,601,000 for all
of the Partnership's systems.  Approximately 38 percent of the expenditures
related to new plant construction associated with new homes passed in all of the
Partnership's systems.  Approximately 38 percent of the expenditures related to
construction of service drops to subscriber's homes.  The remainder was for
other capital expenditures to maintain the value of the Partnership's systems.
These expenditures were funded by cash generated from operations, borrowings
under the Partnership's credit facility and cash on hand.  Budgeted capital
expenditures for all of the Partnership's remaining systems for 1999 are
approximately $1,267,000.  These capital expenditures are to maintain the value
of the Partnership's remaining systems until they are sold.  Funding for the
improvements is expected to come from cash on hand, cash generated from
operations and, if necessary, borrowings under its credit facility.  The
Partnership is obligated to conduct its business in the ordinary course until
its systems are sold.

                                       8

 
     The Partnership is a party to a $27,700,000 revolving credit facility, of
which $23,050,000 was outstanding at December 31, 1998, leaving $4,650,000
available for future borrowings.  The revolving credit facility expires on
September 30, 2000, at which time the then-outstanding balance is payable in
full.  The revolving credit facility requires that one-half of the proceeds from
the next Partnership system sale be used to reduce amounts outstanding and that
the credit facility be repaid in full on the second system sale.  Based on the
current expected order of system sale closings, the Partnership will repay
approximately $13,302,500 upon the closing of the sale of the Buffalo System,
which is expected to occur in March 1999, and the maximum amount of borrowings
available under the revolving credit facility will be reduced to $14,397,500.
The remaining balance will be repaid upon the sale of the Naperville System,
which is expected to occur in April 1999.  Interest on the revolving credit
facility's outstanding balance is at the Partnership's option of the London
Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.125 percent, the Certificate of Deposit Rate plus
1.25 percent or the Base Rate plus .125 percent.  The effective interest rates
on amounts outstanding as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 were 6.38 percent and
6.79 percent, respectively.

     Ameritech, which provides telephone service in a multi-state region
including Illinois, is providing cable television service in Naperville,
Illinois, the community served by the Partnership's Naperville System.  This
competition has had an adverse effect on the Naperville System's revenues and
cash flow.  The General Partner is taking prudent steps necessary to meet this
competition from Ameritech and, to the extent possible, to safeguard the value
of the Naperville System until it is sold.  These steps include a judicial
challenge to the terms on which a franchise was issued to Ameritech.  The City
of Naperville has filed a countersuit against the Partnership declaring that the
Partnership has breached its franchise agreement by withholding franchise
payments and seeks to impose liquidated damages on the Partnership for such
breach.  Litigation is currently pending in federal court against both the City
of Naperville and Ameritech and includes claims made by the City of Naperville
against the Partnership.  A trial date has not yet been set.

     The Partnership has sufficient sources of capital available from cash on
hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings available under its
revolving credit facility to meet its needs until its systems are sold.

Cable TV Fund 14-A/B Venture-
- ---------------------------- 

     On March 31, 1998, the Venture sold the Broward System to an unaffiliated
third party for $140,000,000.  The agreement provided that the contract sales
price of $140,000,000 would be reduced $2,472 for each of the Broward System's
equivalent basic subscribers less than 56,637 at closing.  At March 31, 1998,
the Broward System had 55,346 equivalent basic subscribers, which reduced the
sales price by $3,191,352.  When final closing adjustments were completed on
June 30, 1998, however, additional equivalent basic subscribers that were not
able to be counted as basic subscribers of the Broward System at the March 31,
1998 closing (because they were relatively recent subscribers at such date) were
able to be counted as equivalent basic subscribers of the Broward System.  These
basic subscribers brought the equivalent basic subscriber count up to 56,637 and
the sales price accordingly was adjusted upward by $3,191,352 to $140,000,000.

     From the proceeds of the Broward System sale at initial closing, the
Venture settled working capital adjustments, repaid the outstanding balance on
its credit facility, which totaled $39,902,968 at March 31, 1998 and paid a 2.5
percent brokerage fee of $3,420,216 to The Intercable Group for acting as a
broker in this transaction.  The Venture then distributed the remaining net sale
proceeds, or $94,039,000, to the two constituent partnerships of the Venture in
proportion to their ownership interests in the Venture.  Accordingly, the
Partnership received 27 percent of the net sale proceeds, or $25,484,569.  In
April 1998, the Partnership distributed its net sale proceeds to its limited
partners of record as of March 31, 1998.  Such  distribution represented
approximately $159 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $318 for each
$1,000 invested in the Partnership.

     From the additional proceeds of the Broward System sale at final closing,
the Venture settled final working capital adjustments and paid a 2.5 percent
brokerage fee of $79,784 to The Intercable Group.  The Venture then distributed
the remaining additional net sale proceeds, or $1,669,056, to the two
constituent partnerships of the Venture in proportion to their ownership
interests in the Venture.  Accordingly, the Partnership received 27 percent of
the additional net sale proceeds, or $452,433.  The Partnership retained the
$452,433 for working capital purposes.  Because the distributions to the limited
partners from the sale of the Broward System, together with all prior
distributions, did not return to the limited partners 125 percent of the capital
initially contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners, the General
Partner did not receive any general partner distribution from the Broward
System's sale.  Because the Broward System represented the only asset of the
Venture, the Venture was liquidated and dissolved in October 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd. -
- ------------------------  

1998 Compared to 1997-

     Revenues of the Partnership decreased $3,183,818, or approximately 12
percent, to $23,458,429 in 1998 compared to $26,642,247 in 1997.  This decrease
was primarily a result of the sales of the Turnersville System on January 10,
1997 and the Central Illinois System on June 30, 1997.  Disregarding the effect
of the sales of the Turnersville System and the Central Illinois System,
revenues would have increased $184,468, or approximately 1 percent, to
$23,458,429 in 1998 from $23,273,961 in 1997.  This increase was primarily due
to increases in the number of basic subscribers and basic rates in the
Partnership's Buffalo System and Calvert County System.  This increase was
partially offset by a reduction in revenues in the Partnership's Naperville
System due to competition from Ameritech.

     Operating expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the operation
and 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 marketing expenses.

     Operating expenses decreased $1,186,504, or approximately 7 percent, to
$15,199,086 in 1998 compared to $16,385,590 in 1997.  This decrease was
primarily a result of the sales of the Turnersville System and the Central
Illinois System.  Disregarding the effect of the Turnersville System and the
Central Illinois System sales, operating expenses would have increased $797,275,
or approximately 6 percent, to $15,199,086 in 1998 from $14,401,811 in 1997.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in programming expenses.
Operating expenses represented 65 percent and 62 percent, respectively, of
revenues in 1998 and 1997.

     Management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner decreased
$213,821, or approximately 7 percent, to $2,644,584 in 1998 compared to
$2,858,405 in 1997.  This decrease was primarily a result of the sales of the
Turnersville System and the Central Illinois System.  Disregarding the effect of
the Turnersville System and the Central Illinois System sales, management fees
and allocated overhead from the General Partner would have increased $143,855,
or approximately 6 percent, to $2,644,584 in 1998 from $2,500,729 in 1997.  This
increase was due to an increase in expenses allocated from the General Partner.

     Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1,448,713, or
approximately 14 percent, to $8,662,922 in 1998 compared to $10,111,635 in 1997.
This decrease was a result of the sales of the Turnersville System and the
Central Illinois System.  Disregarding the effect of the Turnersville System and
the Central Illinois System sales, depreciation and amortization expense would
have increased $420,101, or approximately 5 percent, to $8,662,922 in 1998 from
$8,242,821 in 1997.  This increase was a result of capital additions to the
Partnership's other systems during 1998.

     Operating loss increased $334,780, or approximately 12 percent, to
$3,048,163 in 1998 compared to $2,713,383 in 1997.  Disregarding the effect of
the Turnersville System and the Central Illinois System sales, operating loss
would have increased $1,176,763, or approximately 63 percent, to $3,048,163 in
1998 from $1,871,400 in 1997.  This increase was a result of the increases in
operating expenses, management fees and allocated overhead from the General
Partner and increase in depreciation and amortization expense exceeding the
increase in revenues.

     Interest expense decreased $282,114, or approximately 15 percent, to
$1,641,112 in 1998 compared to $1,923,226 in 1997.  This decrease was primarily
due to lower outstanding balances on interest bearing obligations during 1998.
Portions of the proceeds from the sales of the Turnersville System and the
Central Illinois System were used to reduce the Partnership's debt.

     The Partnership recognized a gain on the sale of the Turnersville System of
$62,923,951 and a gain on the sale of the Central Illinois System of $7,050,021
during 1997.  No similar gains were recognized during 1998.

     The Partnership reported loss before equity in net income of cable
television joint venture of $4,385,113 in 1998 compared to income before equity
in net loss of cable television joint venture of $63,361,130 in 1997.  This
change was primarily a result of the gain on the sales of the Turnersville
System and the Central Illinois System in 1997.

1997 Compared to 1996-

     Revenues of the Partnership decreased $21,166,472, or approximately 44
percent, to $26,642,247 in 1997 compared to $47,808,719 in 1996.  This decrease
was primarily a result of the sales of the Turnersville System on January 10,
1997 and the Central Illinois System on June 30, 1997.  Disregarding the effect
of the sales of the Turnersville System and the Central Illinois 

                                       10

 
System, revenues would have decreased $1,800,522, or approximately 7 percent, to
$23,273,961 in 1997 from $25,074,483 in 1996. This decrease in revenues was due
to the Naperville System's loss of subscribers due to competition from
Ameritech.

     Operating expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the operation
and 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 marketing expenses.

     Operating expenses decreased $11,640,742, or approximately 42 percent, to
$16,385,590 in 1997 compared to $28,026,332 in 1996.  This decrease was
primarily a result of the sales of the Turnersville System and the Central
Illinois System.  Disregarding the effect of the Turnersville System and the
Central Illinois System sales, operating expenses would have decreased
$1,277,130, or approximately 8 percent, to $14,401,811 in 1997 from $15,678,941
in 1996.  This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in subscriber related
expenses as a result of the Naperville System's loss of subscribers due to
competition from Ameritech.  Operating expenses represented 62 percent and 63
percent, respectively, of revenues in 1997 and 1996.

     Management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner decreased
$2,694,146, or approximately 49 percent, to $2,858,405 in 1997 compared to
$5,552,551 in 1996.  This decrease was primarily a result of the sales of the
Turnersville System and the Central Illinois System.  Disregarding the effect of
the Turnersville System and the Central Illinois System sales, management fees
and allocated overhead from the General Partner would have decreased $459,314,
or approximately 16 percent, to $2,500,729 in 1997 from $2,960,043 in 1996.
This decrease was due to the decrease in revenues, upon which such management
fees and allocations are based.

     Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $4,516,091, or
approximately 31 percent, to $10,111,635 in 1997 compared to $14,627,726 in
1996.  This decrease was a result of the sales of the Turnersville System and
the Central Illinois System.  Disregarding the effect of the Turnersville System
and the Central Illinois System sales, depreciation and amortization expense
would have increased $1,161,639, or approximately 16 percent, to $8,242,821 in
1997 from $7,081,182 in 1996.  This increase was a result of capital additions
to the Partnership's other systems during 1997.

     Operating loss increased $2,315,493 to $2,713,383 in 1997 compared to
$397,890 in 1996.  Disregarding the effect of the Turnersville System and the
Central Illinois System sales, operating loss increased $1,225,717 to $1,871,400
in 1997 from $645,683 in 1996.  This increase was a result of the decrease in
revenues and the increase in depreciation and amortization expense exceeding the
decreases in operating expenses and management fees and allocated overhead from
the General Partner.

     Interest expense decreased $4,026,632, or approximately 68 percent, to
$1,923,226 in 1997 compared to $5,949,858 in 1996.  This decrease was primarily
due to lower outstanding balances on interest bearing obligations during 1997.
Portions of the proceeds from the sales of the Turnersville System and the
Central Illinois System were used to reduce the Partnership's debt.

     The Partnership recognized a gain on the sale of the Turnersville System of
$62,923,951 and a gain on the sale of the Central Illinois System of $7,050,021
during 1997.  No similar gains were recognized during 1996.

     The Partnership reported income before equity in net loss of cable
television joint venture of $63,361,130 in 1997 compared to a loss before equity
in net loss of cable television joint venture of $6,555,931 in 1996.  This
change was primarily a result of the gain on the sales of the Turnersville
System and the Central Illinois System.

Year 2000 Issue
- ---------------

     The Year 2000 issue is the result of many computer programs being written
such that they will malfunction when reading a year of "00."  This problem could
cause system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of business
processes.  Due to the pending sales of all of the Partnership's cable
television systems in 1999 and the anticipated liquidation and dissolution of
the Partnership before the end of 1999, the Year 2000 issue will not have a
material effect on the Partnership.

                                       11

 
ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

     Interest Rate Risk
     ------------------
 
     The Partnership utilizes variable rate long-term debt from its credit
facility to partially finance capital expenditures.  Such debt arrangements
expose the Partnership to market risk related to changes in interest rates.  The
Partnership will repay all amounts outstanding on its credit facility upon the
sale of the Naperville System in April 1999.  Therefore, the Partnership's risk
from changes in interest rates is not expected to be significant.



ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The audited financial statements of the Partnership and the Venture for the

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                    ----------------------------------------


To the Partners of Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd.:

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CABLE TV FUND 14-A, LTD.
(a Colorado limited partnership) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit) and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998.  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 14-A, Ltd. as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(1)  ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS' INTERESTS
     ------------------------------------

     Formation and Business
     ----------------------

     Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), a Colorado limited
partnership, was formed on February 6, 1987, under a public program sponsored by
Jones Intercable, Inc. ("Intercable"), a publicly held Colorado corporation.
The Partnership was formed to acquire, construct, develop and operate cable
television systems.  Intercable is the "General Partner" and manager of the
Partnership.  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
other affiliated entities.

     On January 8, 1988, the Partnership and Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd. ("Fund 14-
B") formed Cable TV Fund 14-A/B Venture (the "Venture"), to acquire the cable
television system serving areas in and around Broward County, Florida (the
"Broward System").  The Partnership contributed $18,975,000 to the capital of
the Venture for 27 percent ownership interest and Fund 14-B contributed
$51,025,000 to the capital of the Venture for 73 percent ownership interest.  As
discussed below, the Venture sold the Broward System on March 31, 1998.  Because
the Broward System represented the only asset of the Venture, the Venture was
liquidated and dissolved in October 1998.

     Cable Television System Acquisitions
     ------------------------------------

     The Partnership acquired the cable television systems serving certain areas
in and around the communities of Turnersville, New Jersey (the "Turnersville
System"); Buffalo, Minnesota (the "Buffalo System"); Naperville, Illinois (the
"Naperville System"); and Calvert County, Maryland (the "Calvert County System")
in 1987.  In 1991, the Partnership purchased additional cable television systems
serving certain communities in rural central Illinois (the "Central Illinois
System").  As discussed below, the Partnership sold the Turnersville System on
January 10, 1997 and the Central Illinois System on June 30, 1997.

     Cable Television System Sales - Partnership
     -------------------------------------------

        On January 10, 1997, the Partnership sold the Turnersville System to an
unaffiliated party for a sales price of $84,500,000.  From the sale proceeds,
the Partnership repaid $57,387,500 of the balance outstanding on its credit
facility (of which $52,500,000 was required to be repaid under the terms of the
Partnership's credit facility), paid The Intercable Group, Ltd. ("The Intercable
Group"), a subsidiary of the General Partner, a brokerage fee of $2,112,500,
representing 2.5 percent of the sales price, for acting as a broker in this
transaction and distributed the remaining net sale proceeds of $25,000,000 to
its limited partners in January 1997.  Such distribution represented
approximately $156 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $312 for each
$1,000 invested in the Partnership.  Because the $25,000,000 distribution to the
limited partners did not return 125 percent of the capital initially contributed
to the Partnership by the limited partners, the General Partner did not receive
a general partner distribution from the proceeds of the sale of the Turnersville
System.  Because the sale of the Turnersville System did not represent a sale of
all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets, no vote of the limited
partners of the Partnership was required to approve this sale.

     On June 30, 1997, the Partnership sold the Central Illinois System to an
unaffiliated party for a sales price of $20,005,280.  The Partnership repaid
$9,800,000 of the balance outstanding on its credit facility, paid a 2.5 percent
brokerage fee of $502,500 to The Intercable Group for acting as a broker in this
transaction, settled working capital adjustments and distributed $9,547,500 of
the sale proceeds to its limited partners in July 1997.  Such distribution
represented approximately $60 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or
$120 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership.  Because the distributions to
the limited partners from the sales of the Turnersville System and the Central
Illinois System did not return 125 percent of the capital initially contributed
to the Partnership by the limited partners, the General Partner did not receive
a general partner distribution from the proceeds of the sale of the Central
Illinois System.  Because the sale of the Central Illinois System did not
represent a sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets, no
vote of the limited partners of the Partnership was required to approve this
sale.

     The pro forma effect of the sales of the Turnersville System and the
Central Illinois System on the results of the Partnership's operations for the
year ended December 31, 1997, assuming the transaction had occurred at the
beginning of the year, is presented in the following unaudited tabulation:

     Cable Television System Sale - Venture
     --------------------------------------

     On March 31, 1998, the Venture sold the Broward System to an unaffiliated
third party for $140,000,000.  The agreement provided that the contract sales
price of $140,000,000 would be reduced $2,472 for each of the Broward System's
equivalent basic subscribers less than 56,637 at closing.  At March 31, 1998,
the Broward System had 55,346 equivalent basic subscribers, which reduced the
sales price by $3,191,352.  When final closing adjustments were completed on
June 30, 1998, however, additional equivalent basic subscribers that were not
able to be counted as basic subscribers of the Broward System at the March 31,
1998 closing (because they were relatively recent subscribers at such date) were
able to be counted as equivalent basic subscribers of the Broward System.  These
basic subscribers brought the equivalent basic subscriber count up to 56,637 and
the sales price accordingly was adjusted upward by $3,191,352 to $140,000,000.

     From the proceeds of the Broward System sale at initial closing, the
Venture settled working capital adjustments, repaid the outstanding balance on
its credit facility, which totaled $39,902,968 at March 31, 1998 and paid a 2.5
percent brokerage fee of $3,420,216 to The Intercable Group for acting as a
broker in this transaction.  The Venture then distributed the remaining net sale
proceeds, or $94,039,000, to the two constituent partnerships of the Venture in
proportion to their ownership interests in the Venture.  Accordingly, the
Partnership received 27 percent of the net sale proceeds, or $25,484,569.  In
April 1998, the Partnership distributed its net sale proceeds to its limited
partners of record as of March 31, 1998.  Such  distribution represented
approximately $159 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $318 for each
$1,000 invested in the Partnership.

     From the additional proceeds of the Broward System sale at final closing,
the Venture settled final working capital adjustments and paid a 2.5 percent
brokerage fee of $79,784 to The Intercable Group.  The Venture then distributed
the remaining additional net sale proceeds, or $1,669,056, to the two
constituent partnerships of the Venture in proportion to their ownership
interests in the Venture.  Accordingly, the Partnership received 27 percent of
the additional net sale proceeds, or $452,433.  The Partnership retained the
$452,433 for working capital purposes.  Because the distributions to the limited
partners from the sale of the Broward System, together with all prior
distributions, did not return to the limited partners 125 percent of the capital
initially contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners, the General
Partner did not receive any general partner distribution from the Broward
System's sale.  Because the Broward System represented the only asset of the
Venture, the Venture was liquidated and dissolved in October 1998.

     Pending Cable Television System Sales
     -------------------------------------

     The Partnership is in various stages of selling its three remaining cable
television systems.  These transactions are discussed below in the order of
anticipated sale closing date.

     Buffalo System
     --------------

     On November 6, 1998, the Partnership entered into an asset purchase
agreement, as amended, to sell the Buffalo System to an unaffiliated party for a
sales price of $26,605,000, subject to customary closing adjustments.  Closing
of the sale is expected to occur in March 1999. The holders of a majority of the
limited partnership interests approved this sale in a vote conducted by the
General Partner in the first quarter of 1999. Upon the proposed sale of the
Buffalo System, based upon financial information as of December 31, 1998, the
Partnership will repay $13,302,500 outstanding on its revolving credit facility,
pay a brokerage fee to The Intercable Group totaling $665,125, representing 2.5
percent of the sales price, for acting as a broker in this transaction, settle

                                       20

 
working capital adjustments and deposit $1,200,000 into an indemnity escrow
account. The remaining net sale proceeds of approximately $10,856,000 will be
distributed to the Partnership's limited partners of record as of the closing
date of the sale of the Buffalo System. Based upon financial information as of
December 31, 1998, this distribution will give the Partnership's limited
partners an approximate return of $68 for each $500 limited partnership
interest, or $136 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership. Because the
distribution to the limited partners from the sale of the Buffalo System,
together with all prior distributions, will not return to the limited partners
125 percent of the capital initially contributed to the Partnership by the
limited partners, the General Partner will not receive a general partner
distribution from the sale of the Buffalo System.

     For a period of 90 days following the closing date, $1,200,000 of the sale
proceeds will remain in escrow as security for the Partnership's agreement to
indemnify the purchaser under the asset purchase agreement.  The Partnership's
primary exposure, if any, will relate to the representations and warranties made
about the Buffalo System in the asset purchase agreement.  Any amounts remaining
from this interest-bearing indemnity escrow account that are not claimed by the
purchaser at the end of the 90-day period, plus interest earned on the escrowed
funds, will be returned to the Partnership.  From this amount, the Partnership
will pay any remaining liabilities and it will then distribute the balance to
the Partnership's partners.  Because the distribution to the limited partners
from the sale of the Partnership's remaining systems, together with all prior
distributions, will return to the limited partners more than 125 percent of the
capital initially contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners, the
General Partner will receive a distribution from the escrowed proceeds.  If the
entire $1,200,000 escrow amount is distributed to the partners, of which there
can be no assurance, the limited partners as a group would receive 75 percent
($900,000) and the General Partner would receive 25 percent ($300,000) of the
net escrow proceeds.

     Naperville System
     -----------------

     On August 7, 1998, the Partnership signed an asset purchase agreement to
sell its Naperville System to an unaffiliated party for a sales price of
$23,000,000, subject to customary closing adjustments.  Closing of the sale,
which is expected to occur in April 1999, has been approved by a majority of the
limited partners in a vote conducted by the General Partner in December 1998.
Upon the proposed sale of the Naperville System, based upon financial
information as of December 31, 1998, the Partnership will repay the balance
outstanding on its revolving credit facility, estimated to total $9,747,500, pay
a brokerage fee to The Intercable Group totaling $575,000, representing 2.5
percent of the sales price, for acting as a broker in this transaction, settle
working capital adjustments, and then deposit $696,000 into an indemnity escrow
account. The remaining net sale proceeds of approximately $11,039,000 will be
distributed to the Partnership's limited partners of record as of the closing
date of the sale of the Naperville System. Based upon financial information as
of December 31, 1998, this distribution will give the Partnership's limited
partners an approximate return of $69 for each $500 limited partnership
interest, or $138 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership. Because the
distribution to the limited partners from the sale of the Naperville System and 
the Buffalo System, together with all prior distributions, will not return to
the limited partners 125 percent of the capital initially contributed to the
Partnership by the limited partners, the General Partner will not receive a
general partner distribution from the sale of the Naperville System.

     In connection with the planned sale of the Naperville System, on March 5,
1999 the Partnership entered into a signal and service agreement with the cable
company that will purchase the system.  Pursuant to the terms of this agreement,
the purchaser will provide certain services to the Partnership relating to the
operations of the Naperville System until the closing of the sale, which is
expected to occur in mid-April 1999.  The Partnership will pay the purchaser
fees and expense reimbursements related to this agreement and the Partnership
will also indemnify the purchaser in connection with the service it provides to
the Partnership.  The management fees and expense reimbursements that the
Partnership otherwise would pay to the General Partner will be reduced to offset
the fees and expenses paid to the purchaser of the system pursuant to the signal
and service agreement.

     The $696,000 of sale proceeds to be placed in the interest-bearing
indemnity escrow account will remain in escrow from the closing date until
November 15, 1999 as security for the Partnership's agreement to indemnify the
buyer under the asset purchase agreement. The Partnership's primary exposure, if
any, will relate to the representations and warranties to be made about the
Naperville System in the asset purchase agreement. Any amounts remaining from
this interest-bearing indemnity escrow account and not claimed by the buyer at
the end of the escrow period, plus interest earned on the escrowed funds, will
be returned to the Partnership. From this amount, the Partnership will pay any
remaining liabilities and it will then distribute the balance to the
Partnership's partners. Because the distribution to the limited partners from
the sale of the Partnership's remaining systems, together with all prior
distributions, will return to the limited partners more than 125 percent of the
capital initially contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners, the
General Partner will receive a distribution from the escrowed proceeds. If the
entire $696,000 escrow amount is distributed to the partners, of which there can
be no assurance, the limited partners as a group would receive 75 percent
($522,000) and the General Partner would receive 25 percent ($174,000) of the
net escrow proceeds.

                                       21

 
     Calvert County System
     ---------------------

     On June 29, 1998, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sale
agreement to sell the Calvert County System to a subsidiary of the General
Partner for a sales price of $39,388,667, subject to customary closing
adjustments.  The purchase price was determined by the average of three separate
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Calvert County System.
Closing of the sale, which is expected to occur in April 1999, will be subject
to several conditions, including necessary governmental and other third party
consents and the approval of the holders of a majority of the limited
partnership interests in a vote conducted by the General Partner in March and
April 1999.  Upon the proposed sale of the Calvert County System, based upon
financial information as of December 31, 1998, the Partnership will pay certain
fees and expenses of the transaction and distribute the remaining net sale
proceeds of approximately $38,985,000 to the Partnership's partners of record as
of the closing date of the sale of the Calvert County System.  The limited
partners, as a group, will receive $33,757,000, and the General Partner will
receive a $5,228,000 general partner distribution from the net sale proceeds;
thus, the limited partners would receive approximately $211 for each $500
limited partnership interest, or $422 for each $1,000 invested in the
Partnership from the sale of the Calvert County System.

     The Partnership will continue in existence at least until any amounts
remaining from the indemnity escrow accounts have been distributed.  The
Partnership will be liquidated and dissolved upon the final distribution of any
amounts remaining from the Buffalo System's and Naperville System's indemnity
escrow accounts. If any disputes with respect to indemnification arise, the
Partnership would not be dissolved until such disputes were resolved, which
could result in the Partnership continuing in existence beyond 1999.

     Anticipated Total Distributions
     -------------------------------

     Taking into account all distributions from prior sales and the anticipated
distributions of the net proceeds from the proposed sales of the Partnership's
remaining systems (excluding escrowed proceeds) in 1999, the General Partner
expects that the limited partners of the Partnership will receive approximately
$723 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $1,446 for each $1,000
invested in the Partnership.

     Contributed Capital, Commissions and Syndication Costs
     ------------------------------------------------------

     The capitalization of the Partnership is set forth in the accompanying
statements of partners' capital (deficit).  No limited partner is obligated to
make any additional contribution to partnership capital.

     Intercable purchased its interest in the Partnership by contributing $1,000
to partnership capital.

     All profits and losses of the Partnership are allocated 99 percent to the
limited partners and 1 percent to Intercable, 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's agreement and
interest income earned prior to the first acquisition by the Partnership 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.
The Partnership's tax returns are also prepared on the accrual basis.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner's management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Investment in Cable Television Joint Venture
     --------------------------------------------

     In addition to its wholly owned systems, the Partnership owned a 27 percent
interest in the Venture through a capital contribution made in March 1988 of
$18,975,000.  The Venture acquired the Broward System in March 1988.  The
Venture reported net income of $83,036,505 in 1998, of which $22,599,271 was
allocated to the Partnership, and the Partnership also received distributions
totaling $25,937,002 from the Venture's sale of the Broward System. The Venture
incurred losses of $2,310,292 and $3,008,309 in 1997 and 1996, respectively, of
which $626,089 and $815,252, respectively, was allocated to the 

                                       22

 
Partnership. The investment was accounted for on the equity method. The Venture
sold the Broward System on March 31, 1998 and the Venture was liquidated and
dissolved in October 1998.

     Property, Plant and Equipment
     -----------------------------

     Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided primarily using
the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives:
 
               Cable distribution systems        5 - 15  years
               Equipment and tools               5 -  7  years
               Office furniture and equipment    3 -  5  years
               Buildings                             30  years
               Vehicles                          3 -  4  years

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

     Property, plant and equipment and the corresponding accumulated
depreciation are written off as certain assets become fully depreciated and are
no longer in service.

     Intangible Assets
     -----------------

     Costs assigned to intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-
line method over the following remaining estimated useful lives:

               Franchise costs                   1 - 11  years
               Costs in excess of interests 
                in net assets purchased              29  years

     Revenue Recognition
     -------------------

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

(3)  TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES
     ----------------------------------------------------

     Management Fees, Distribution Ratios and Reimbursements
     -------------------------------------------------------

     Intercable 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.  Management fees paid
to Intercable by the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996 (exclusive of the Partnership's 27 percent interest in the Venture) were
$1,172,921, $1,332,112 and $2,390,436, respectively.

     Any 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
Intercable.  Any distributions other than interest income on limited partner
subscriptions earned prior to the acquisition of the Partnership's first cable
television system or from cash flow, such as from the sale or refinancing of a
system or upon dissolution of the Partnership, will be made as follows:  first,
to the limited partners in an amount which, together with all prior
distributions, will equal 125 percent of the amount initially contributed to the
Partnership capital by the limited partners; the balance, 75 percent to the
limited partners and 25 percent to Intercable.

     The Partnership reimburses Intercable 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 related facilities costs.  Such personnel provide engineering,
marketing, administrative, accounting, legal and investor relations services to
the Partnership.  Such services, and their related costs, are necessary to the
operation of the Partnership and would have been incurred by the Partnership if
it was a stand alone entity.  Allocations of personnel costs are based primarily
on actual time spent by employees of Intercable 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 Intercable and certain of its subsidiaries.  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 that the methodology used in allocating overhead and administrative
expenses is reasonable.  Reimbursements made to Intercable by the Partnership
for allocated overhead and 

                                       23

 
administrative expenses (exclusive of the Partnership's 27 percent interest in
the Venture) were $1,471,663, $1,526,293 and $3,162,115 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

     The Partnership was charged interest during 1998 at an average interest
rate of 7.05 percent on the amounts due Intercable, which approximated
Intercable's weighted average cost of borrowing.  Total interest charged to the
Partnership by Intercable was $3,728, $2,783 and $250,004 for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     Payments to/from Affiliates for Programming Services
     ----------------------------------------------------

     The Partnership receives or has received programming from Superaudio,
Knowledge TV, Inc., Jones Computer Network, Ltd., Great American Country, Inc.
and Product Information Network, all of which are affiliates of Intercable.

     Payments to Superaudio totaled $39,430, $40,647 and $63,513 in 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively.  Payments to Knowledge TV, Inc. totaled $40,959, $46,123
and $71,736 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Payments to Jones Computer
Network, Ltd., whose service was discontinued in April 1997, totaled $22,173 and
$61,374 in 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Payments to Great American Country,
Inc. totaled $32,421, $28,314 and $35,100 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     The Partnership receives a commission from Product Information Network
based on a percentage of advertising revenue and number of subscribers.  Product
Information Network paid commissions to the Partnership totaling $63,159,
$87,685 and $90,304 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

(4)  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
     -----------------------------

     Property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, consisted
of the following:

     Debt consisted of the following:        1998           1997

                                         ============   ============


     The Partnership is a party to a $27,700,000 revolving credit facility, of
which $23,050,000 was outstanding at December 31, 1998, leaving $4,650,000
available for future borrowings.  The revolving credit facility expires on
September 30, 2000, at which time the then-outstanding balance is payable in
full.  The revolving credit facility requires that one-half of the proceeds from
the next Partnership system sale be used to reduce amounts outstanding and that
the credit facility be repaid in full on the second system sale.  Based on the
current expected order of system sale closings, the Partnership will repay
approximately $13,302,500 upon the closing of the sale of the Buffalo System,
which is expected to occur in March 1999, and the maximum 

                                       24

 
amount of borrowings available under the revolving credit facility will be
reduced to $14,397,500. The remaining balance will be repaid upon the sale of
the Naperville System, which is expected to occur in April 1999. Interest on the
revolving credit facility's outstanding balance is at the Partnership's option
of the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.125 percent, the Certificate of
Deposit Rate plus 1.25 percent or the Base Rate plus .125 percent. The effective
interest rates on amounts outstanding as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 were 6.38
percent and 6.79 percent, respectively. Disregarding the proposed cable
television system sales, installments due on debt principal for the five years
in the period ending December 31, 2003, respectively, are: $114,663,
$23,164,663, $114,663, $38,221 and $-0-.

     At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the carrying amount of the Partnership's
long-term debt did not differ significantly from the estimated fair value of the
financial instruments.  The fair value of the Partnership's long-term debt is
estimated based on the discounted amount of future debt service payments using
rates of borrowing for a liability of similar risk.

(6)  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 the Partnership are prepared and filed by the General
Partner.

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

     Taxable income 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 income and the net income
reported in the statements of operations.

(7)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
     -----------------------------

     The Partnership rents office and other facilities under various long-term
lease arrangements.  Rent paid under such lease arrangements totaled $199,248,
$206,236 and $296,719, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997
and 1996.  Minimum commitments under operating leases for each of the five years
in the period ending December 31, 2003 and thereafter are as follows:
 
          1999          $129,498
          2000             2,250
          2001             1,000
          2002             1,000
          2003             1,000
          Thereafter           -
                        --------
 
                        $134,748
                        ========

     From the Partnership's sale of the Naperville System, $696,000 of sale
proceeds will be placed in an interest-bearing indemnity escrow account and will
remain in escrow from the closing date until November 15, 1999 as security for
the Partnership's agreement to indemnify the buyer under the asset purchase
agreement.  The Partnership's primary exposure, if any, will relate to the
representations and warranties to be made about the Naperville System in the
asset purchase agreement.  Any amounts remaining from this interest-bearing
indemnity escrow account and not claimed by the buyer at the end of the escrow
period, plus interest earned on the escrowed funds, will be returned to the
Partnership.  From this amount, the Partnership will pay any remaining
liabilities and it will then distribute the balance to the Partnership's
partners.

     From the Partnership's sale of the Buffalo System, $1,200,000 of the sale
proceeds will be placed in an interest-bearing indemnity escrow account for 90
days following the closing date as security for the Partnership's agreement to
indemnify the purchaser under the asset purchase agreement.  The Partnership's
primary exposure, if any, will relate to the representations and warranties made
about the Buffalo System in the asset purchase agreement.  Any amounts remaining
from this interest-bearing indemnity escrow account that are not claimed by the
purchaser at the end of the 90-day period, plus interest earned on the escrowed
funds, will be returned to the Partnership.  From this amount, the Partnership
will pay any remaining liabilities and it will then distribute the balance to
the Partnership's partners.

                        ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
                        --------------------------------

           The Partnership has no employees; however, various personnel are
required to operate the Systems. Such personnel are employed by the General

     ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGERS
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

           As of February 16, 1999, Madison/AG Partnership Value Partners II,
Madison/AG Partnership Value Partners III, ISA Partnership Liquidity Investors
and Cobble Hill Investments, L.P., all with an address of P.O. Box 7533, Incline

Holder Matters.)


            ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
            --------------------------------------------------------

           The General Partner and its affiliates engage in certain transactions
with the Partnership and, until the disposition of the Broward System in March
1998, the General Partner and its affiliates engaged in certain transactions
with the Venture. The General Partner believes that the terms of such
transactions are generally as favorable as could be obtained 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 from unaffiliated parties.

Transactions with the General Partner

           The General Partner manages the Partnership and, until the
disposition by the Venture in March 1998 of the Broward System, the General
Partner managed the Venture, and receives or received, respectively, a fee for
its services of 5 percent of the gross revenues of the Partnership or the
Venture, respectively, excluding revenues from the sale of cable television
systems or franchises.

           The Partnership reimburses the General Partner for certain allocated
overhead and administrative expenses.  These expenses represent the salaries and
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.  Allocations
of personnel costs are based primarily 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.  Prior to
the sale of the Broward System in March 1998, the Venture also reimbursed the
General Partner for certain allocated overhead and administrative expenses.

           The General Partner has from time to time advanced funds to the
Partnership and the Venture and charged interest on the balance payable. The
interest rate charged approximated the General Partner's weighted average cost
of borrowing.

Transactions with Affiliates

           Jones International, Ltd. ("International"), a company owned by Glenn
R. Jones, and certain of its subsidiaries provide various services to the
Partnership, including affiliation agreements for the distribution of

                                       31

 
programming owned by affiliated companies on cable television systems owned by

Networks, Ltd., an affiliate of the General Partner. Superaudio, a joint venture
between Jones Galactic Radio, Inc. and an unaffiliated entity, provides audio
programming to the Systems.

           The Product Information Network Venture (the "PIN Venture") is a
venture among a subsidiary of Jones International Networks, Ltd., an affiliate
of the General Partner, and two unaffiliated cable system operators. The PIN
Venture operates the Product Information Network ("PIN"), which is a 24-hour
network that airs long-form advertising generally known as "infomercials." The
PIN Venture generally makes incentive payments of approximately 60 percent of
its net advertising revenue to the cable systems that carry its programming. The
Partnership's and the Venture's systems carry PIN for all or part of each day.
Revenues received by the Partnership from the PIN Venture relating to the
Partnership's owned cable television systems totaled approximately $63,159 for
the year ended December 31, 1998. Revenues received by the Venture from the PIN
Venture relating to the Broward System totaled approximately $63,159 for the
