NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) This Form 10-Q is being filed in conformity with the SEC requirements
for unaudited financial statements and does not contain all of the necessary
footnote disclosures required for a fair presentation of the Balance Sheets and
Statements of Operations and Cash Flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, this data includes
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to
present fairly the financial position of Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd. (the
"Partnership") at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 and its Statements of
Operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and
its Statements of Cash Flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
1994. Results of operations for these periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the full year.
As a result of the Partnership's ownership interest in Cable TV Fund
14-A/B Venture (the "Venture") of approximately 73 percent, the accompanying
financial statements present the Partnership's and the Venture's financial
condition and results of operations on a consolidated basis, with the ownership
interest of Cable TV Fund 14-A, Ltd. in the Venture shown as a minority
interest. The Venture owns and operates the cable television system serving
certain areas in Broward County, Florida. The Venture does not have any
ownership interest in the cable television systems serving Surfside, South
Carolina (the "Surfside System") or Little Rock, California (the "Little Rock
System"). These systems are owned 100 percent by the Partnership. All
interpartnership accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior
year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.
(2) Jones Intercable Inc., a publicly held Colorado corporation (the
"General Partner"), manages the Partnership and the Venture and receives a fee
for its services equal to five percent of the gross revenues of the Partnership
and the Venture, excluding revenues from the sale of cable television systems or
franchises. Management fees paid to the General Partner by the Partnership and
the Venture for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 were
$424,321 and $848,708, respectively, as compared to $397,057 and $792,932,
respectively, for the similar 1994 periods.
The Partnership and the Venture reimburse the General Partner for
certain allocated overhead and administrative expenses. These expenses include
salaries and related benefits paid for corporate personnel, rent, data
processing services and other corporate facilities costs. Such personnel provide
engineering, marketing, accounting, administrative, legal and investor relations
services to the Partnership and the Venture. 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. The General Partner believes
that the methodology used in allocating overhead and administrative expenses is
reasonable. Reimbursements made to the General Partner by the Partnership and
the Venture for allocated overhead and administrative expenses for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1995 were $566,404 and $1,208,729,
respectively, as compared to $588,321 and $1,195,668, respectively, for the
similar 1994 periods.

(A Limited Partnership)
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Partnership owns an approximate 73 percent interest in the
Venture. The accompanying financial statements include 100 percent of the
accounts of the Partnership and those of the Venture system, reduced by the 27
percent minority interest in the Venture.
The Venture
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Venture generated net cash
from operating activities totaling $3,209,430, which is available to fund
capital expenditures and non-operating costs. During the first six months of
1995, capital expenditures in the Venture-owned Broward County System totaled
approximately $1,900,000. Approximately 30 percent of these expenditures related
to new plant construction. Approximately 23 percent of these expenditures
related to service drops to homes. Rebuild of the cable plant accounted for
approximately 12 percent of these expenditures. The remainder of the
expenditures was for various enhancements in the Broward County System. Such
expenditures were funded primarily from cash generated from operations.
Anticipated capital expenditures for the remainder of 1995 are approximately
$1,300,000. Approximately 30 percent will relate to service drops to homes.
Approximately 26 percent will relate to new plant construction. Approximately 14
percent will relate to plant rebuilds in the Broward County System. The
remainder of the anticipated expenditures is for various enhancements in the
Broward County System. These capital expenditures are expected to be funded from
cash on hand and cash generated from operations.
The balance outstanding on the Venture's term loan at June 30, 1995
was $40,950,468. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments which began
March 31, 1993 and is payable in full by December 31, 1999. In June 1994, the
General Partner completed negotiations to lower the level of principal payments
in order to provide liquidity for capital expenditures. The Venture paid
$585,000 in principal installments during the second quarter and a total of
$1,170,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1995. Installments due during
the remainder of 1995 total $1,170,000. Funding for these installments is
expected to come from cash on hand and cash generated from operations. Interest
is at the Venture's option of Prime plus 1/2 percent, LIBOR plus 1-1/2 percent
or CD rate plus 1-5/8 percent. The effective interest rates on amounts
outstanding as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 were 7.64 percent and 6.0 percent,
respectively.
In January 1993, the Venture entered into an interest rate cap
agreement covering outstanding debt obligations of $25,000,000. The Venture paid
a fee of $246,250. The agreement protects the Venture from LIBOR interest rates
that exceeded 7 percent for three years from the date of the agreement.
The General Partner believes that the Venture has sufficient sources
of capital to service its presently anticipated needs from cash on hand and cash
generated from operations.
The Partnership
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership generated net
cash from operating activities totaling $972,652, which is available to fund
capital expenditures and non-operating costs. The Partnership expended
approximately $1,300,000 on capital additions in its wholly-owned Surfside,
South Carolina and Little Rock, California systems during the first six months
of 1995. New plant construction accounted for approximately 20 percent and
service drops to homes accounted for approximately 15 percent of these
expenditures. The remainder of the expenditures was for various enhancements in
the Partnership's systems. Funding for these expenditures was provided by cash
on hand and cash generated from operations. Anticipated capital expenditures for
the remainder of 1995 are approximately $700,000. Approximately 35 percent is
designated for plant construction in both of the Partnership's systems. Service
drops to homes are expected to account for approximately 33 percent. The
remainder of these expenditures is for various enhancements in each of the
Partnership's systems. Funding for these improvements will be provided by cash
generated from operations and borrowings under the Partnership's credit
facility.
8
9
The Partnership's credit agreement had an original commitment of
$20,000,000. Such commitment consisted of a $10,000,000 reducing revolving
credit facility and a $10,000,000 term loan. The reducing revolving credit
reduced to $9,500,000 on December 31, 1993, reduced to $8,500,000 on December
31, 1994 and is payable in full on December 31, 1995. At June 30, 1995,
$6,700,000 was outstanding under this revolving credit facility, leaving
$1,800,000 available until year end for the needs of the Partnership. The
$10,000,000 term loan is payable in quarterly installments which began March 31,
1993 and the term loan matures on December 31, 1995. As of June 30, 1995,
$8,500,000 was outstanding on this term loan. The Partnership paid $375,000 in
principal installments during the second quarter and a total of $750,000 during
the six months ended June 30, 1995. The General Partner intends to renegotiate
the credit facilities during 1995. Currently, interest on the outstanding
principal balance on each loan is at the Partnership's option of Prime plus .20
percent, LIBOR plus 1.20 percent or CD rate plus 1.325 percent. The effective
interest rates on amounts outstanding as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 were 7.01
percent and 5.89 percent, respectively.
In January 1993, the Partnership entered into an interest rate cap
agreement covering outstanding debt obligations of $8,000,000 for a fee of
$77,600. The agreement protects the Partnership from LIBOR interest rates that
exceed 7 percent for three years from the date of the agreement.
Assuming the General Partner is able to renegotiate the Partnership's
existing credit facilities to extend the repayment schedules beyond year end,
the General Partner believes that the Partnership has sufficient sources of
capital from cash on hand and cash generated from operations to service its
presently-anticipated needs.
