NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
---------------------------------------
(1) This Form 10-Q is being filed in conformity with the SEC requirements for
unaudited financial statements and does not contain all of the necessary
footnote disclosures required for a complete presentation of the Balance Sheets
and Statements of Operations and Cash Flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, this data
includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals,
necessary to present fairly the financial position of Jones Spacelink
Income/Growth Fund 1-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") at September 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998 and its Statements of Operations for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and its Statements of Cash Flows for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.
The Partnership owned and operated the cable television systems serving the
areas in and around the communities of Bluffton, Decatur, Monroe, Auburn,
Butler, Uniondale, Waterloo, Poneto, Vera Cruz and Garrett, and portions of the
unincorporated areas of Wells, Allen, Noble, Adams and DeKalb Counties, all in
the State of Indiana (the "Northeast Indiana Systems") until they were sold on
June 30, 1998. Jones Intercable, Inc., a publicly held Colorado corporation, is
the "General Partner" and manages the Partnership.
On April 7, 1999, Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") completed the acquisition
of a controlling interest in the General Partner for aggregate consideration of
$706.3 million. Comcast acquired an additional 1.0 million shares of the General
Partner's Class A Common Stock on June 29, 1999 for $50.0 million in a private
transaction. Upon completion of these transactions, Comcast owns approximately
13.8 million shares of the General Partner's Class A Common Stock and
approximately 2.9 million shares of the General Partner's Common Stock,
representing 39.6% of the economic interest and 48.3% of the voting interest in
the General Partner. Comcast has contributed its shares in the General Partner
to its wholly owned subsidiary, Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. ("Comcast
Cable"). The approximately 2.9 million shares of Common Stock owned by Comcast
Cable represent shares having the right to elect approximately 75% of the Board
of Directors of the General Partner. The General Partner is now a consolidated
public company subsidiary of Comcast Cable.
In connection with Comcast's acquisition of a controlling interest in the
General Partner on April 7, 1999, all of the persons who were executive officers
of the General Partner as of that date terminated their employment with the
General Partner. The General Partner's Board of Directors has elected new
executive officers, each of whom also is an officer of Comcast. As of July 7,
1999, all persons who were employed at the General Partner's former corporate
offices in Englewood, Colorado had terminated their employment with the General
Partner. The General Partner's corporate offices are now located at 1500 Market
Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102-2148.
(2) On June 30, 1998, the Partnership sold the Northeast Indiana Systems, its
only remaining operating assets, to an unaffiliated party for a sales price of
$23,500,000. From the sale proceeds, the Partnership repaid all of its
indebtedness, settled working capital adjustments, deposited $1,000,000 into an
interest-bearing indemnity escrow account and distributed remaining net sale
proceeds to its limited partners.
For a period of one year following the closing date, $1,000,000 of the sale
proceeds remained in escrow as security for the Partnership's agreement to
indemnify the buyer under the asset purchase agreement. The escrow period has
expired and the Partnership received the escrowed funds plus interest in October
1999 because no claims were made on the escrowed funds by the buyer. From the
escrowed funds, the Partnership repaid its remaining liabilities, which totaled
$118,797 at September 30, 1999, and it will hold the balance in reserve to cover
the administrative expenses of the Partnership until the Partnership is
liquidated and dissolved. Although the sale of the Northeast Indiana Systems
represented the sale of the only remaining operating assets of the Partnership,
the Partnership will not be dissolved until the pending litigation in which the
Partnership is a named defendant has been resolved and terminated.
(3) The General Partner manages the Partnership and received 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 General
Partner has not received and will not receive a management fee after June 30,
1998. Management fees paid to the General
5
Partner by the Partnership for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1998 were $-0- and $145,978, respectively.
The Partnership will continue to reimburse the General Partner and certain
of its subsidiaries for certain administrative expenses. These expenses
represent the salaries and related benefits paid for corporate personnel. Such
personnel provide administrative, accounting, tax, legal, and investor relations
services to the Partnership. Such services, and their related costs, are
necessary to the administration of the Partnership until the Partnership is
dissolved. Such costs were charged to operating costs during the periods that
the Partnership operated its cable television systems. Subsequent to the sale of
the Partnership's final cable television system, such costs were charged to
other expense. Reimbursements made to the General Partner by the Partnership for
overhead and administrative expenses for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1999 were $3,170 and $3,371, respectively, compared to $-0- and
$181,831, respectively, for the similar 1998 periods.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
On June 30, 1998, the Partnership sold the Northeast Indiana Systems, its
only remaining operating assets, to an unaffiliated party for a sales price of
$23,500,000. From the sale proceeds, the Partnership repaid all of its
indebtedness, settled working capital adjustments, deposited $1,000,000 into an
interest-bearing indemnity escrow account and distributed remaining net sale
proceeds to its limited partners.
For a period of one year following the closing date, $1,000,000 of the sale
proceeds remained in escrow as security for the Partnership's agreement to
indemnify the buyer under the asset purchase agreement. The escrow period has
expired and the Partnership received the escrowed funds plus interest in October
1999 because no claims were made on the escrowed funds by the buyer. From the
escrowed funds, the Partnership repaid its remaining liabilities, which totaled
$118,797 at September 30, 1999, and it will hold the balance in reserve to cover
the administrative expenses of the Partnership until the Partnership is
liquidated and dissolved. Although the sale of the Northeast Indiana Systems
represented the sale of the only remaining operating assets of the Partnership,
the Partnership will not be dissolved until the pending litigation in which the
Partnership is a named defendant has been resolved and terminated.
Because the Partnership has sold all of its assets and no further
distributions are expected to be made, transfers of limited partnership
interests would have no economic or practical value. The General Partner
therefore has determined, in accordance with the authority granted to it under
Section 3.5 of the Partnership's limited partnership agreement, that it will not
process any transfers of limited partnership interests in the Partnership during
the remainder of the Partnership's term.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Due to the Northeast Indiana Systems sale on June 30, 1998, which were the
Partnership's last remaining operating assets, a discussion of the results of
operations would not be meaningful.
