Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 30, 1995, Jones Programming Partners 2-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), a
Colorado limited partnership, sold its one-third ownership interest in
Household Saints to Jones Entertainment Group, Ltd. (the "General Partner"),
the Colorado corporation that serves as the Partnership's General Partner, for
$1,389,166.  The General Partner purchased the Partnership's interest in
Household Saints at a purchase price sufficient to enable the Partnership to
recover its net investment in the film.

The General Partner had obtained three independent appraisals of the fair
market value of the Partnership's interest in Household Saints.  The average of
the three independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Partnership's
interest in Household Saints was $298,450.  Appraisals were obtained by the
General Partner because the Partnership's limited partnership agreement allows
the General Partner to purchase completed programming projects from the
Partnership if the purchase price is an amount no less than the average of
three independent fair market value appraisals.

The purchase price was paid $500,000 in cash at closing on June 30, 1995,
$500,000 in the form of a non-interest bearing promissory note payable on June
30, 1996 and $389,166 in the form of a non-interest bearing promissory note
payable on June 30, 1997.

The General Partner has not yet determined how the proceeds from the sale of
Household Saints will be used by the Partnership.  It is possible that the
Partnership will use a portion of the sale proceeds to invest in an additional
programming project.  The General Partner has also not yet determined what
portion of the sale proceeds from Household Saints will be distributed to the
limited partners.  At a minimum, however, the Partnership will distribute
enough of the sale proceeds to the limited partners to cover the limited
partners' federal income tax liability, if any, resulting from the sale.
