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 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 12-B, Ltd.
("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.
The Partnership owns and operates the cable television system serving
certain areas in and around Augusta, Georgia (the "Augusta System"). In
addition, the Partnership owns an approximate 9 percent interest in Cable TV
Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture"). The Venture owns and operates the cable
television systems serving certain areas in and around Albuquerque, New Mexico;
Palmdale, California; and Tampa, Florida.
(2) Jones Intercable, Inc. (the "General Partner"), a publicly held
Colorado corporation, 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 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 (excluding the
Partnership's 9 percent interest in the Venture) were $368,583 and $718,166,
respectively, as compared to $339,050 and $670,289, respectively, for the
similar 1994 periods.
The Partnership reimburses the General Partner 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 facilities costs. Such personnel provide
engineering, marketing, administrative, accounting, legal and investor
relations services to the Partnership. Allocations of personnel costs are
based primarily on actual time spent by employees of the General Partner with
respect to each partnership managed. Remaining overhead costs are allocated
based on revenues of the partnership as a percentage of the total revenues of
owned and managed systems of the General Partner. 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. Amounts charged the
Partnership by the General Partner for allocated overhead and administrative
expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 (excluding the
Partnership's 9 percent interest in the Venture) were $480,562 and $1,000,991,
respectively, as compared to $508,892 and $1,013,085, respectively, for the
similar 1994 periods.
(3) The Partnership has agreed to sell the Augusta System to the General
Partner for a sales price of $142,618,000, subject to working capital
adjustments. The sales price was determined by averaging three separate
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Augusta System as of
December 31, 1994. Closing of the sale is subject to a number of conditions,
including the approval of the transaction by the holders of a majority of the
Partnership's limited partnership interests. The General Partner expects to
conduct a vote of the limited partners of the Partnership during August or
September 1995 to seek limited partner approval of the sale of the Augusta
System. Subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, the transaction is
expected to close during 1995. This sale agreement pertains only to the
Augusta System, not to the Partnership's interest in the systems owned by the
Venture. The limited partners' portion of net proceeds from the sale
(approximately $95,134,890, or approximately $1,714 for each $1,000 invested
in the Partnership) will be distributed to the limited partners shortly after
closing. The Partnership will retain its interest in the Venture.
(4) In August 1995, the Venture entered into a purchase and sale agreement
pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Tampa, Florida system (the "Tampa
System") to the General Partner for a sales price of $110,395,667, subject to
working capital adjustments. This price is the
6
7
average of three separate, independent appraisals of the fair market value of
the Tampa System. Closing of the sale is expected to occur before the end of
1995. The Venture's current debt arrangements do not allow the Venture to make
distributions. The General Partner will attempt to rengegotiate the Venture's
credit arrangements to allow for distributions. There is no assurance such
refinancing can be completed. If the refinancing is successfully completed,
the Venture expects to distribute approximately $3,800,000 to the Partnership,
which the Partnership in turn will distribute to its limited partners, giving
the Partnership's limited partners an approximate return of $68 for each $1,000
invested in the Partnership. This amount is in addition to the $1,714 for each
$1,000 invested in the Partnership to be returned to the limited partners from
the Augusta System sale. Because the Tampa System does not constitute all or
substantially all of the Venture's assets, no vote of the limited partners of
the Partnership is required in connection with this transaction.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Partnership
The Partnership has agreed to sell the Augusta System to the General
Partner for a sales price of $142,618,000, subject to working capital
adjustments. The sales price was determined by averaging three separate
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Augusta System as of
December 31, 1994. Closing of the sale is subject to a number of conditions,
including the approval of the transaction by the holders of a majority of the
Partnership's limited partnership interests. The General Partner expects to
conduct a vote of the limited partners of the Partnership during August or
September 1995 to seek limited partner approval of the sale of the Augusta
System. Subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, the transaction is
expected to close during 1995. This sale agreement pertains only to the
Augusta System, not to the Partnership's interest in the systems owned by the
Venture. The limited partners' portion of net proceeds from the sale
(approximately $95,134,890, or approximately $1,714 for each $1,000 invested
in the Partnership) will be distributed to the limited partners shortly after
closing. The Partnership will retain its interest in the Venture.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership generated net
cash from operating activities totaling $4,019,324, which was available to fund
capital expenditures and debt principal repayments. During the first six
months of 1995, capital expenditures totaled approximately $2,191,000 in the
Augusta System. Approximately 36 percent of these expenditures related to the
construction of service drops to subscribers' homes. Approximately 13 percent
of these expenditures related to the construction of new cable plant. The
remaining expenditures were used for various system enhancements. Such
expenditures were funded by cash generated from operations. Expected capital
additions for the remainder of 1995 total approximately $2,293,000.
Approximately 24 percent of the anticipated capital expenditures are for new
plant extensions. Approximately 22 percent will be for the construction of
service drops to subscriber's homes. The remainder of the anticipated capital
expenditures will be used for various enhancements in the Augusta System.
Funding for these expenditures is expected to be provided by cash on hand and
cash generated from operations. Depending upon the timing of the closing of the
sale of the Augusta System to the General Partner discussed above, the
Partnership will make only that portion of the budgeted capital expenditures
scheduled to be made until such closing.
The balance outstanding on the Partnership's credit facility as of
June 30, 1995 was $37,284,375. In December 1994, the General Partner
refinanced the Partnership's credit facility to extend the life of the term
loan to December 31, 1999. The term loan will continue to be payable in
consecutive quarterly installments. The Partnership repaid $2,485,625 during
the first six months of 1995. Installments due during the remainder of 1995
total $2,485,625 and will be paid from cash on hand and cash generated from
operations. Interest on this agreement is at the Partnership's option of the
base rate plus 1/2 percent, where base rate is defined as the greater of the
Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 percent, or the CD rate plus
1-5/8 percent or the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1-1/2 percent. The
effective interest rates on outstanding obligations as of June 30, 1995 and
1994 were 8.01 percent and 5.86 percent, respectively. This loan is expected
to be repaid in full upon closing of the sale of the Augusta System to the
General Partner.
The General Partner believes that cash flows from operations will be
sufficient to fund capital expenditures and other liquidity needs of the
Partnership.
The Venture
In addition to the Augusta System, which is 100 percent owned, the
Partnership owns an approximate 9 percent interest in Cable TV Fund 12-BCD
Venture (the "Venture"). The Partnership's investment in the Venture,
accounted for
10
11
under the equity method, decreased by $574,958 during the six months ended June
30, 1995. This decrease represents the Partnership's proportionate share of
losses generated by the Venture. These losses are expected to continue during
the remainder of 1995.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Venture generated net cash
from operating activities totaling $8,458,494, which is available to fund
capital expenditures and non-operating costs. Capital expenditures for the
Venture totaled approximately $10,274,000 during the first six months of 1995.
These capital additions were funded by cash generated from operations,
borrowings from the Venture's credit facility, and advances from the General
Partner. Service drops to homes accounted for approximately 36 percent of the
first six months capital expenditures and approximately 25 percent were for the
upgrade of the Albuquerque system. The remaining expenditures related to
various system enhancements in all of the Venture's systems. Expected capital
expenditures for the remainder of 1995 are approximately $6,690,000. Service
drops to homes are anticipated to account for approximately 39 percent of the
expected expenditures. The upgrade of cable television plant in the
Albuquerque system is expected to account for approximately 27 percent of the
capital additions. The remainder of the expenditures relates to various system
enhancements in all of the Venture's systems. Funding for these expenditures
is expected to be provided by cash generated from operations and, if necessary,
in its discretion, advances from the General Partner.
In August 1995, the Venture entered into a purchase and sale agreement
pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Tampa, Florida system (the "Tampa
System") to the General Partner for a sales price of $110,395,667, subject to
working capital adjustments. This price is the average of three separate,
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Tampa System. Closing
of the sale is expected to occur before the end of 1995. The Venture's
current debt arrangements do not allow the Venture to make distributions. The
General Partner will attempt to rengegotiate the Venture's credit arrangements
to allow for distributions. There is no assurance such refinancing can be
completed. If the refinancing is successfully completed, the Venture expects
to distribute approximately $3,800,000 to the Partnership, which the
Partnership in turn will distribute to its limited partners, giving the
Partnership's limited partners an approximate return of $68 for each $1,000
invested in the Partnership. This amount is in addition to the $1,714 for each
$1,000 invested in the Partnership to be returned to the limited partners from
the Augusta System sale. Because the Tampa System does not constitute all or
substantially all of the Venture's assets, no vote of the limited partners of
the Partnership is required in connection with this transaction.
The Venture's debt arrangements consist of $93,000,000 of Senior Notes
placed with a group of institutional lenders and an $87,000,000 credit
agreement with a group of commercial bank lenders. The Venture intends to
renegotiate its credit facilities to allow for distributions to the limited
partners of the Venture's constituent partners of a portion of the Tampa System
sales proceeds.
The Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate of 8.64 percent and a
maturity date of March 31, 2000. The Senior Notes call for interest only
payments through March 1996, with interest and accelerating amortization of
principal payments for the next four years. Interest is payable semi-annually.
The Senior Notes carry a "make-whole" premium, which is a prepayment penalty
that protects the lenders in the event that prepaid funds are reinvested at a
rate below 8.64 percent.
The balance outstanding on the credit agreement at June 30, 1995 was
the full $87,000,000. Under the terms of this credit facility, the loan will
convert to a term loan on March 31, 1996 with quarterly installments beginning
June 30, 1996 and a final payment due March 31, 2000. Interest is at the
Venture's option of LIBOR plus 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, the CD rate plus
1.375 percent to 1.875 percent or the Base Rate plus 0 percent to .50 percent.
The effective interest rates on amounts outstanding on the Venture's term
credit facility as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 were 8.32 percent and 7.44
percent, respectively.
Both lending facilities are equal in standing with the other, and both
are equally secured by the assets of the Venture.
The General Partner presently believes that cash flows from operations
and, in its discretion, advances from the General Partner, will be sufficient
to fund capital expenditures and other liquidity needs of the Venture until the
refinancing of the debt arrangements and the closing of the sale of the Tampa
System.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Partnership
Revenues in the Augusta system increased $590,658, or approximately 9
percent, to $7,371,663 in the three month period ended June 30, 1995 from
$6,781,005 for the similar 1994 period. Revenues increased $957,540, or
approximately 7 percent, to $14,363,321 in the first six months of 1995 from
