Item 2. Sale of Assets
On February 28, 1996, Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture"), a
Colorado joint venture comprised of Cable TV Fund 12-B, Ltd. ("Fund 12-B"),
Cable TV Fund 12-C, Ltd. ("Fund 12-C") and Cable TV Fund 12-D, Ltd. ("Fund
12-D"), Colorado limited partnerships, sold the cable television system serving
areas in and around Tampa, Florida (the "Tampa System") to Jones Cable
Holdings, Inc. ("JCH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jones Intercable, Inc.,
the general partner of each of Fund 12-B, Fund 12-C and Fund 12-D (the "General
Partner"). The sales price of the Tampa System was $110,395,667, subject to
normal working capital closing adjustments. This price represented the average
of three separate, independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Tampa
System. Because the Venture's debt arrangements did not allow the Venture to
make distributions on the sale of Venture assets, in February 1996 the
Venture's debt arrangements were amended to permit a $55,000,000 distribution
to the Venture's partners from the sale proceeds, and the balance of the sale
proceeds were used to reduce Venture indebtedness. Fund 12-B's portion of this
distribution is approximately $5,048,000, of which approximately $3,786,000
will be distributed to limited partners and $1,227,000 will be distributed to
the General Partner in April 1996. Fund 12-B also will distribute in April
1996 $1,200,000 of cash on hand, of which $900,000 will be distributed to
limited partners and $300,000 will be distributed to the General Partner.
These distributions will give Fund 12-B's limited partners an approximate
return of $84 for each $1,000 invested in Fund 12-B. This amount is in
addition to the $1,714 for each $1,000 invested in Fund 12-B returned to the
limited partners from the sale of another cable television system previously
owned by Fund 12-B. Because the Tampa System did not constitute all or
substantially all of the Venture's assets, no vote of the limited partners of
Fund 12-B was required in connection with this transaction.
On February 29, 1996, JCH consummated an agreement with Time Warner
Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership ("TWEAN"), an unaffiliated cable
television system operator, pursuant to which JCH conveyed the Tampa System,
along with certain other cable television systems owned by JCH, and cash in the
amount of $3,500,000, subject to normal closing adjustments, to TWEAN in
exchange for the cable television systems serving Andrews Air Force Base,
Capitol Heights, Cheltenham, District Heights, Fairmount Heights, Forest
Heights, Morningside, Seat Pleasant, Upper Marlboro, and portions of Prince
Georges County, all in Maryland, and a portion of Fairfax County, Virginia.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
OF CABLE TV FUND 12-BCD VENTURE
The following unaudited pro forma balance sheet assumes that as of
September 30, 1995, Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture") had sold the
cable television system serving areas in and around Tampa, Florida (the "Tampa
System") for $110,395,667. The funds available to the Venture, adjusting for
the estimated net closing adjustments of the Tampa System, are expected to
total approximately $110,041,000. Such funds will be used to repay
indebtedness of the Venture, and $55,000,000 will be distributed to the
partners of the Venture. The unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations
assume that the Tampa System was sold as of January 1, 1994. The Venture will
continue to own the cable television systems serving areas in and around
Albuquerque, New Mexico (the "Albuquerque System") and Palmdale, California
(the "Palmdale System").
