PART I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
THE PARTNERSHIP. Cable TV Fund 11-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a Colorado
limited partnership that was formed pursuant to the public offering of limited
partnership interests in the Cable TV Fund 11 Limited Partnership Program (the
"Program"), which was sponsored by Jones Intercable, Inc. (the "General
Partner"). Cable TV Fund 11-B, Ltd. ("Fund 11-B"), Cable TV Fund 11-C, Ltd.
("Fund 11-C") and Cable TV Fund 11-D, Ltd. ("Fund 11-D") are the other
partnerships that were formed pursuant to the Program. The Partnership, Fund
11-B, Fund 11-C and Fund 11-D formed a general partnership known as Cable TV
Joint Fund 11 (the "Venture") in which the Partnership owns an 18 percent
interest, Fund 11-B owns an 8 percent interest, Fund 11-C owns a 27 percent
interest and Fund 11-D owns a 47 percent interest. The Partnership and the
Venture were formed for the purpose of acquiring and operating cable television
systems.
The Partnership does not directly own any cable television systems. The
Partnership's only asset is its 18 percent ownership interest in the Venture,
and the Venture's only asset is the cable television system serving subscribers
in Manitowoc, Wisconsin (the "Manitowoc System").
PROPOSED DISPOSITION OF CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEM. On September 5, 1995, the
Venture entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which it agreed to
sell the Manitowoc System to the General Partner for a sales price of
$15,735,667, subject to normal working capital closing adjustments. This sales
price represents the average of three separate independent appraisals of the
fair market value of the Manitowoc System obtained by the General Partner, and
it was the only bid tendered in a public bidding process for the Manitowoc
System. The General Partner has assigned its rights and obligations under the
asset purchase agreement to Jones Cable Holdings, Inc. ("JCH"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the General Partner. The sale of the Manitowoc System is subject
to a number of conditions, including approval of the transaction by the
holders of a majority of the limited partnership interests in each of the four
partnerships that comprise the Venture and approvals from governmental
authorities and other third parties necessary to the transfer of the Manitowoc
System. If all conditions precedent to JCH's obligation to close are not
eventually satisfied or waived, JCH's obligation to purchase the Manitowoc
System will terminate on September 30, 1996.
In order to sell the Manitowoc System, the Venture must obtain the consent
of the City of Manitowoc and third parties with whom the Venture has contracts
related to the Manitowoc System, such as pole attachment agreements or other
service agreements, to the transfer thereof. The Venture was unsuccessful in its
efforts to sell the Manitowoc System in June 1990, at the time of the Venture's
sale of its remaining Wisconsin cable television systems, due to the refusal of
the City of Manitowoc to consent to the transfer of the system's franchise.
Negotiations with the City of Manitowoc with respect to the renewal and transfer
of the Manitowoc System's franchise are continuing, and the Manitowoc System
currently is being operated pursuant to a temporary extension of the franchise's
term. The General Partner hopes that the City ultimately will agree to the
renewal and transfer of the franchise and that the City will not take any action
that will prevent the closing of the sale of the Manitowoc System, but given
the current status of the Venture's negotiations with the City there can be no
assurance that the sale will occur as planned.
The General Partner intends to conduct votes of the limited partners of
each of the four partnerships that comprise the Venture to seek their approval
of the Manitowoc System's sale. Because the limited partners of each of the
four partnerships that comprise the Venture previously approved the sale of
the Manitowoc System in 1990 only to have such sale frustrated by the refusal
by the City of Manitowoc to consent to the transfer of the Manitowoc System's
franchise, the General Partner believes it prudent to conduct the votes of the
limited partners
2
3
only after the City of Manitowoc consents to the transfer of the franchise. As
discussed above, there can be no assurance that the City will consent to the
transfer of the Manitowoc System's franchise.
If the proposed sale of the Manitowoc System is closed, the Venture will
pay all of its indebtedness, which totaled $55,175 at December 31, 1995,
including the $45,258 owed to the General Partner, and then the net sale
proceeds and the Venture's cash on hand, which total $18,420,800, will be
distributed to the four constituent partnerships of the Venture in proportion to
their ownership interests in the Venture. The Partnership accordingly will
receive 18 percent of such proceeds, estimated to total approximately
$3,356,700. From this amount, the Partnership will repay its $10,781 debt to the
General Partner and the Partnership will distribute the remaining $3,345,900 to
its partners. Because limited partners have already received distributions in an
amount in excess of the capital initially contributed to the Partnership by the
limited partners, the Partnership's portion of the net proceeds from the
Manitowoc System's sale will be distributed 75 percent to the limited partners
and 25 percent to the General Partner. Based upon pro forma financial
information as of December 31, 1995, as a result of the Manitowoc System's sale,
the limited partners of the Partnership, as a group, will receive approximately
$2,509,400 and the General Partner will receive approximately $836,500. Limited
partners will receive $54 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $107
for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership, from the Partnership's portion of
the net proceeds of the Manitowoc System's sale. Once the Partnership has
completed the distribution of its portion of the net proceeds from the sale of
the Manitowoc System, limited partners of the Partnership will have received a
total of $1,265 for each $500 limited partnership interest, or $2,530 for each
$1,000 invested in the Partnership, taking into account the prior distributions
to limited partners made in 1988 and 1990. After the Partnership distributes its
portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Manitowoc System to its partners,
the Partnership will be dissolved and liquidated.
Although it previously was announced that the General Partner intended to
acquire and then transfer the Manitowoc System to Time Warner Entertainment
Company, L.P. ("Time Warner") as part of a larger exchange of cable television
systems between the General Partner and Time Warner, the General Partner and
Time Warner have agreed to exclude the Manitowoc System from that exchange.
CABLE TELEVISION SERVICES. The Manitowoc System offers to its subscribers
various types of programming, which include basic service, tier service, premium
service, pay-per-view programs and packages including several of these services
at combined rates.
Basic cable television service usually consists of signals of all four
national television networks, various independent and educational television
stations (both VHF and UHF) and certain signals received from satellites. Basic
service also usually includes programs originated locally by the system, which
may consist of music, news, weather reports, stock market and financial
information and live or videotaped programs of a public service or entertainment
nature. FM radio signals are also frequently distributed to subscribers as part
of the basic service.
The Manitowoc System offers tier services on an optional basis to its
subscribers. A tier generally includes most of the cable networks such as
Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (ESPN), Cable News Network (CNN),
Turner Network Television (TNT), Family Channel, Discovery and others, and the
cable television operators buy tier programming from these networks. The
Manitowoc System also offers a package that includes the basic service channels
and the tier services.
The Manitowoc System also offers premium services to its subscribers, which
consist of feature films, sporting events and other special features that are
presented without commercial interruption. The cable television operators buy
premium programming from suppliers such as HBO, Showtime, Cinemax or others at a
cost based on the number of subscribers the cable operator serves. Premium
service programming usually is significantly more expensive than the basic
service or tier service programming, and consequently cable operators price
premium service separately when sold to subscribers.
3
4
The Manitowoc System also offers to subscribers pay-per-view programming.
Pay-per-view is a service that allows subscribers to receive single programs,
frequently consisting of motion pictures that have recently completed their
theatrical exhibitions and major sporting events, and to pay for such service on
a program-by-program basis.
REVENUES. Monthly service fees for basic, tier and premium services
constitute the major source of revenue for the Manitowoc System. At December 31,
1995, the Manitowoc System's monthly basic service rate was $11.08, the monthly
basic and tier ("basic plus") service rate was $20.66 and the monthly premium
services ranged from $4.97 to $9.95 per premium service. In addition, the
Venture earns revenues from pay-per-view programs and advertising fees. Related
charges may include a nonrecurring installation fee that ranges from $6.10 to
$35.00; however, from time to time the Manitowoc System has followed the common
industry practice of reducing or waiving the installation fee during promotional
periods. Commercial subscribers such as hotels, motels and hospitals are charged
a nonrecurring connection fee that usually covers the cost of installation.
Except under the terms of certain contracts with commercial subscribers and
residential apartment and condominium complexes, the subscribers are free to
discontinue the service at any time without penalty. For the year ended December
31, 1995, of the total fees received by the Manitowoc System, basic service and
tier service fees accounted for approximately 71% of total revenues, premium
service fees accounted for approximately 17% of total revenues, pay-per-view
fees were approximately 1% of total revenues, advertising fees were
approximately 7% of total revenues and the remaining 4% of total revenues came
principally from equipment rentals, installation fees and program guide sales.
The Venture is dependent upon the timely receipt of service fees to provide for
maintenance and replacement of plant and equipment, current operating expenses
and other costs of the Manitowoc System.
FRANCHISES. The Venture holds one franchise for the City of Manitowoc,
which technically has expired. Negotiations between the Venture and the City of
Manitowoc with respect to the renewal of the Manitowoc System's franchise are
continuing, and the Manitowoc System currently is being operated pursuant to a
temporary extension of the franchise's term. The General Partner hopes that the
City soon will agree to the renewal of the franchise, but given the current
status of negotiations with the City, there can be no assurance of this. If the
current franchise is not renewed, the General Partner, on the Venture's behalf,
will avail itself of all remedies and recourse granted to cable operators under
federal and applicable state and local laws in order to preserve the Venture's
right to provide cable services in the City of Manitowoc. The Venture also would
seek the return of the $1,850,000, plus interest, that the Venture deposited
with the City of Manitowoc in connection with the settlement of the Venture's
lawsuit against the City. The settlement agreement provides for the return of
this amount to the Venture if the City fails to renew the franchise.
COMPETITION. Cable television systems currently experience competition from
several sources. A potential source of significant competition is Direct
Broadcast Satellite ("DBS") services that use video compression technology to
increase channel capacity and provide packages of movies, network and other
program services that are competitive with those of cable television systems.
Two companies offering DBS services began operations in 1994, and two other
companies offering DBS service recently began operations. In addition, a joint
venture has won the right to provide a DBS service through a FCC spectrum
auction. Not all subscribers terminate cable television service upon acquiring a
DBS system. The General Partner has observed that a number of DBS subscribers
also elect to subscribe to cable television service in order to obtain the
greatest variety of programming on multiple television sets, including local
video services programming not available through DBS service.
Although neither the Venture nor the General Partner has yet encountered
competition from a telephone company providing video services as a cable
operator or video dialtone operator, it is anticipated that the cable television
systems owned or managed by the General Partner will face such competition in
the near future. Legislation recently enacted into law will make it possible for
companies with considerable resources to enter the business. For example, in
February 1996, one of the regional Bell operating companies entered into an
agreement to acquire the nation's third largest cable television company. In
addition, several telephone companies have
4
5
begun seeking cable television franchises from local governmental authorities as
a consequence of litigation that successfully challenged the constitutionality
of the cable television/telephone company cross-ownership rules. The General
Partner cannot predict at this time when and to what extent telephone companies
will provide cable television service within service areas in competition with
cable television systems owned or managed by the General Partner. The General
Partner is aware of the following imminent competition from telephone companies:
Ameritech, one of the seven regional Bell operating companies, which provides
telephone service in a multi-state region including Illinois, has just obtained
a franchise that will allow it to provide cable television service in
Naperville, Illinois, a community currently served by a cable system owned by
another one of the public limited partnerships managed by the General Partner.
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company of Virginia and Bell Atlantic Video
Service Company, both subsidiaries of Bell Atlantic, another of the regional
Bell operating companies, have announced their intention to build a cable
television system in Alexandria, Virginia in competition with a cable television
system owned by the General Partner. Bell Atlantic is preparing for the
operation of a telecommunications and video business in northern Virginia,
including the Alexandria metropolitan area. The FCC has granted GTE Virginia's
application for authority to construct, operate, own and maintain video dialtone
facilities in northern Virginia, including in the service area of a cable
television system owned by the General Partner. To date, GTE has not begun
construction of a video distribution system. The entry of telephone companies as
direct competitors could adversely affect the profitability and market value of
the General Partner's owned and managed systems.
Additional competition is present from several sources, including the
following: Master Antenna Television and Satellite Master Antenna Television
systems that serve multi-unit dwellings such as condominiums, apartment
complexes, motels, hotels and private residential communities; private cable
television/telephonic companies that have secured exclusive contracts to provide
video and telephony services to multi-unit dwellings and similar complexes; and
multichannel, multipoint distribution service ("MMDS") systems, commonly called
wireless cable which generally focus on providing service to residents of rural
areas. In addition, the FCC has established a new wireless telecommunications
service known as Personal Communications Service ("PCS") that would provide
portable non-vehicular mobile communications services similar to that available
from cellular telephone companies, but at a lower cost. Several cable television
multiple system operators hold or have requested experimental licenses from the
FCC to test PCS technology.
REGULATION AND LEGISLATION. The cable industry is regulated under the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act") and the Cable
Communications Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act") and the regulations
implementing these statutes. The Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC")
has promulgated regulations covering such areas as the registration of cable
television systems and other communications businesses, carriage of television
broadcast programming, consumer education and lockbox enforcement, origination
cablecasting and sponsorship identification, children's programming, the
regulation of basic cable and cable programming service rates in areas where
cable television systems are not subject to effective competition, signal
leakage and frequency use, technical performance, maintenance of various
records, equal employment opportunity, and antenna structure notification,
marking and lighting. In addition, cable operators periodically are required to
file various informational reports with the FCC. The FCC has the authority to
enforce these regulations through the imposition of substantial fines, the
issuance of cease and desist orders and/or the imposition of administrative
sanctions, such as the revocation of FCC licenses needed to operate certain
transmission facilities often used in connection with cable operations. State or
local franchising authorities, as applicable, also have the right to enforce
various regulations, impose fines or sanctions, issue orders or seek revocation
subject to the limitations imposed upon such franchising authorities by federal,
state and local laws and regulations. Several states have assumed regulatory
jurisdiction of the cable television industry, and it is anticipated that other
states will do so in the future. To the extent the cable television industry
begins providing telephone service, additional state regulations will be applied
to the cable television industry. Cable television operations are subject to
local regulation insofar as systems operate under franchises granted by local
authorities.
The following is a summary of federal laws and regulations materially
affecting the cable television industry, and a description of state and local
laws with which the cable industry must comply.

Telecommunications Act of 1996. The 1996 Act, which became law on February
28, 1996, substantially revised the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
including the 1984 Cable Act and the 1992 Cable Act, and has been described as
one of the most significant changes in communications regulation since the
original Communications Act of 1934. The 1996 Act is intended, in part, to
promote substantial competition in the telephone local exchange and in the
delivery of video and other services. As a result of the 1996 Act, local
telephone companies (also known as local exchange carriers or "LECs") and other
service providers are permitted to provide video programming, and cable
television operators are permitted entry into the telephone local exchange
market. The FCC is required to conduct rulemaking proceedings over the next
several months to implement various provisions of the 1996 Act.
Among other provisions, the 1996 Act modified the 1992 Cable Act by
deregulating the cable programming service tier of large cable operators
effective March 31, 1999 and the cable programming service tier of small cable
operators (those that provide service to 50,000 or fewer subscribers) effective
immediately. The 1996 Act also revised the procedures for filing a cable
programming service tier rate complaint and adds a new effective competition
test.
The most far-reaching changes in the communications business will result
from the telephony provisions of the 1996 Act. The statute expressly preempts
any legal barriers to competition in the local telephone business that
previously existed in state and local laws and regulations. Many of these
barriers had been lifted by state actions over the last few years, but the 1996
Act completes the task. The 1996 Act also establishes new requirements for
maintaining and enhancing universal telephone service and new obligations for
telecommunications providers to maintain privacy of customer information. The
1996 Act establishes uniform requirements and standards for entry, competitive
carrier interconnection and unbundling of LEC monopoly services.
The 1996 Act repealed the cable television/telephone cross-ownership ban
adopted in the 1984 Cable Act. The federal cross-ownership ban was particularly
important to the cable industry because telephone companies already own certain
facilities such as poles, ducts and associated rights of way. While this ban had
been overturned by several courts, formal removal of the ban ended the last
legal constraints on telephone company plans to enter the cable market. Under
the 1996 Act, telephone companies in their capacity as common carriers now may
lease capacity to others to provide cable television service. Telephone
companies have the option of providing video service as cable operators or
through "open video systems" ("OVS"), a regulatory regime that may provide more
flexibility than traditional cable service. The 1996 Act exempts OVS operators
from many of the regulatory obligations that currently apply to cable operators,
such as rate regulation and franchise fees, although other requirements are
still applicable. OVS operators, although not subject to franchise fees as
defined by the 1992 Cable Act, are subject to fees charged by local franchising
authorities or other governmental entities in lieu of franchise fees. (Under
certain circumstances, cable operators also will be able to offer service
through open video systems.) In addition, the 1996 Act eliminated the
requirement that telephone companies file Section 214 applications (applications
to provide video dialtone services) with the FCC before providing video service.
This limits the opportunity of cable operators to mount challenges at the FCC
regarding telephone company entry into the video market. The 1996 Act also
contains restrictions on buying out incumbent cable operators in a telephone
company's service area, especially in suburban and urban markets.
Other parts of the 1996 Act also will affect cable operators. Under the
1996 Act, the FCC is required to revise the current pole attachment rate
formula. This revision will result in an increase in the rates paid by entities,
including cable operators, that provide telecommunication services. The rates
will be phased in after a five-year period. (Cable operators that provide only
cable services will be unaffected.) Under the V-chip provisions of the 1996 Act,
cable operators and other video providers are required to pass along any program
rating information that programmers include in video signals. Cable operators
also are subject to new scrambling requirements for sexually explicit
programming, and cable operators that provide Internet access or other online
services are subject to the new indecency limitations for computer services. In
addition, cable operators that
6
7
provide Internet access or other online services are subject to the new
indecency limitations for computer services, although these provisions already
have been challenged in court. These provisions already have been challenged,
and the courts have preliminarily enjoined the enforcement of these
content-based provisions.
Under the 1996 Act, a franchising authority may not require a cable
operator to provide telecommunications services or facilities, other than an
institutional network, as a condition to a grant, renewal or transfer of a cable
franchise, and franchising authorities are preempted from regulating
telecommunications services provided by cable operators and from requiring cable
operators to obtain a franchise to provide such services. The 1996 Act also
repealed the 1992 Cable Act's anti-trafficking provision, which generally
required the holding of cable television systems for three years.
It is premature to predict the specific effects of the 1996 Act on the
cable industry in general or the Partnership in particular. The FCC shortly will
be undertaking numerous rulemaking proceedings to interpret and implement the
1996 Act. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of those
proceedings or their effect on the Partnership.
Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. The 1992
Cable Act, which became effective on December 4, 1992, caused significant
changes to the regulatory environment in which the cable television industry
operates. The 1992 Cable Act generally mandated a greater degree of regulation
of the cable television industry. Under the 1992 Cable Act's definition of
effective competition, nearly all cable television systems in the United States,
including those owned and managed by the General Partner, became subject to rate
regulation of basic cable services. In addition, the 1992 Cable Act allowed the
FCC to regulate rates for non-basic service tiers other than premium services in
response to complaints filed by franchising authorities and/or cable
subscribers. In April 1993, the FCC adopted regulations governing rates for
basic and non-basic services. The FCC's rules became effective on September 1,
1993. In compliance with these rules, the General Partner on behalf of the
Venture reduced rates charged for certain regulated services in the Manitowoc
System effective September 1, 1993.
On February 22, 1994, however, the FCC adopted several additional rate
orders including an order which revised its earlier-announced regulatory scheme
with respect to rates. The FCC's new regulations generally required rate
reductions, absent a successful cost-of-service showing, of 17 percent of
September 30, 1992 rates, adjusted for inflation, channel modifications,
equipment costs, and increases in programming costs. Further rate reductions for
cable systems whose rates are below the revised benchmark levels, as well as
reductions that would require operators to reduce rates below benchmark levels
in order to achieve a 17 percent rate reduction, were held in abeyance pending
completion of cable system cost studies. The FCC recently requested some of
these "low price" systems to complete cost study questionnaires. After review of
these questionnaires, the FCC could decide to permanently defer any further rate
reductions, or require the additional 7 percent rate roll back for some or all
of these systems. The FCC has also adopted its proposed upgrade methodology by
which operators would be permitted to recover the costs of upgrading their
plant.
After analyzing the effects of the two methods of rate regulation, the
Venture complied with the new benchmark regulations and further reduced rates in
the Manitowoc System.
On November 10, 1994, the FCC also announced a revision to its regulations
governing the manner in which cable operators may charge subscribers for new
cable programming services. In addition to the present formula for calculating
the permissible rate for new services, the FCC instituted a three-year flat fee
mark-up plan for charges relating to new channels of cable programming services.
Commencing on January 1, 1995, cable system operators may charge for new
channels of cable programming services added after May 14, 1994 at a rate of up
to 20 cents per channel, but may not make adjustments to monthly rates totaling
more than $1.20 plus an additional 30 cents for programming license fees per
subscriber over the first two years of the three-year period for these new
services. Operators may charge an additional 20 cents in the third year only for
channels added in that year plus the costs for the programming. Operators
electing to use the 20 cent per channel adjustment may not also take a 7.5
percent mark-up on programming cost increases, which is permitted under the
FCC's current
7
8
rate regulations. The FCC has requested further comment as to whether cable
operators should continue to receive the 7.5 percent mark-up on increases in
license fees on existing programming services.
The FCC also announced that it will permit operators to offer a "new
product tier" ("NPT"). Operators will be able to price the NPT as they elect so
long as, among other conditions, other channels that are subject to rate
regulation are priced in conformity with applicable regulations and operators do
not remove programming services from existing tiers and offer them on the NPT.
In September 1995, the FCC authorized a new, alternative method of
implementing rate adjustments which will allow cable operators to increase rates
for programming annually on the basis of projected increases in external costs
(inflation, costs for programming, franchise-related obligations and changes in
the number of regulated channels) rather than on the basis of cost increases
incurred in the preceding calendar quarter. Operators that elect not to recover
all of their accrued external costs and inflation pass-throughs each year may
recover them (with interest) in subsequent years.
In December 1995, the FCC adopted final cost-of-service rate regulations
requiring, among other things, cable operators to exclude 34 percent of system
acquisition costs related to intangible and tangible assets used to provide
regulated services. The FCC also reaffirmed the industry-wide 11.25 percent
after tax rate of return on an operator's allowable rate base, but initiated a
further rulemaking in which it proposes to use an operator's actual debt cost
and capital structure to determine an operator's cost of capital or rate of
return. After a rate has been set pursuant to a cost-of-service showing, rate
increases for regulated services are indexed for inflation, and operators are
permitted to increase rates in response to increases in costs beyond their
control, such as taxes and increased programming costs.
The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
recently upheld the FCC's rate regulations implemented pursuant to the 1992
Cable Act, but ruled that the FCC impermissibly failed to permit cable operators
to adjust rates for certain cost increases incurred during the period between
the date the 1992 Cable Act was passed through the initial date of rate
regulation. The FCC has not yet implemented the court's ruling.
There have been several lawsuits filed by cable operators and programmers
in federal court challenging various aspects of the 1992 Cable Act including its
provisions relating to mandatory broadcast signal carriage, retransmission
consent, access to cable programming, rate regulations, commercial leased
channels and public access channels. On April 8, 1993, a three-judge federal
district court panel issued a decision upholding the constitutionality of the
mandatory signal carriage requirements of the 1992 Cable Act. That decision was
appealed directly to the United States Supreme Court. The United States Supreme
Court vacated the lower court decision on June 27, 1994 and remanded the case to
the district court for further development of a factual record. On December 12,
1995, the three-judge federal district court again upheld the must-carry rules'
validity. This decision has been appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
In 1993, a federal district court upheld provisions of the 1992 Cable Act
concerning rate regulation, retransmission consent, restrictions on vertically
integrated cable television operators and programmers, mandatory carriage of
programming on commercial leased channels and public, educational and
governmental access channels and the exemption for municipalities from civil
damage liability arising out of local regulation of cable services. The 1992
Cable Act's provisions providing for multiple ownership limits for cable
operators and advance notice of free previews for certain programming services
have been found unconstitutional and these decisions have been appealed. The
FCC's regulations relating to the carriage of indecent programming, which were
recently upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia, have been appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
Franchising. The responsibility for franchising or other authorization of
cable television systems is left to state and local authorities. There are,
however, several provisions in the 1984 Cable Act that govern the terms and
conditions under which cable television systems provide service. These include
uniform standards and policies that are applicable to cable television operators
seeking renewal of a cable television franchise. The
8
9
procedures established provide for a formal renewal process should the
franchising authority and the cable television operator decline to use an
informal procedure. A franchising authority unable to make a preliminary
determination to renew a franchise is required to hold a hearing in which the
operator has the right to participate. In the event a determination is made not
to renew the franchise at the conclusion of the hearing, the franchising
authority must provide the operator with a written decision stating the specific
reasons for non-renewal. Generally, the franchising authority can finally decide
not to renew a franchise only if it finds that the cable operator has not
substantially complied with the material terms of the present franchise, has not
provided reasonable service in light of the community's needs, does not have the
financial, legal or technical ability to provide the services being proposed for
the future, or has not presented a reasonable proposal for future service. A
final decision of non-renewal by the franchising authority is appealable in
court.
A provision of the 1996 Act preempts franchising authorities from
regulating telecommunications services provided by cable operators and from
requiring cable operators to obtain a franchise to provide such services. A
franchising authority may not require a cable operator to provide
telecommunications services or facilities, other than an institutional network,
as a condition to a grant, renewal or transfer of a cable franchise.
GENERAL. The Venture's business consists of providing cable television
services to a large number of customers, the loss of any one of which would have
no material effect on the Venture's business. The Manitowoc System has had some
subscribers who later terminated the service. Terminations occur primarily
because people move to another home or to another city. In other cases, people
terminate on a seasonal basis or because they no longer can afford or are
dissatisfied with the service. The amount of past due accounts in the Manitowoc
System is not significant. The General Partner's policy with regard to past due
accounts is basically one of disconnecting service before a past due account
becomes material.
The Venture does not depend to any material extent on the availability of
raw materials; it carries no significant amounts of inventory and it has no
material backlog of customer orders. Neither the Venture nor the Partnership has
any employees because all properties are managed by employees of the General
Partner. The General Partner has engaged in research and development activities
relating to the provision of new services but the amount of the Venture's funds
expended for such research and development has never been material.
Compliance with federal, state and local provisions that have been enacted
or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment has had no material
effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the
Venture.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Manitowoc System was acquired by the Venture in April 1984. The
following sets forth (i) the monthly basic plus service rate charged to
subscribers and (ii) the number of basic subscribers and pay units for the
Manitowoc System. The monthly basic service rate set forth herein represents the
basic service rate charged to the majority of the subscribers within the
Manitowoc System. In cable television systems, basic subscribers can subscribe
to more than one pay TV service. Thus, the total number of pay services
subscribed to by basic subscribers are called pay units. As of December 31,
1995, the Manitowoc System operated cable plant passing approximately 16,000
homes, representing an approximate 71% penetration rate. Figures for numbers of
subscribers and homes passed are compiled from the General Partner's records and
may be subject to adjustments.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
CABLE TV FUND 11-A, LTD.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On June 30, 1988, Cable TV Fund 11-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") sold
the cable television system serving portions of Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
This was the Partnership's only directly owned operating system and, as a
result, the Partnership has had no operations since this transaction. The
Partnership retains its 18 percent ownership interest in Cable TV Joint Fund 11
("Joint Fund 11"). Refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations for Joint Fund 11 for details pertaining to
its operations.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Partnership's original investment in Joint Fund 11 was $8,200,000
and is accounted for using the equity method. When compared to the December
31, 1994 balance, this investment has increased by $82,703 to $1,314,503 at
December 31, 1995 from $1,231,800 at December 31, 1994. This increase
represents the Partnership's proportionate share of income generated by Joint
Fund 11. Refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations for Joint Fund 11 for details pertaining to its
financial condition.
On September 5, 1995, Joint Fund 11 entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Manitowoc System to the
General Partner for a sales price of $15,735,667, subject to normal working
capital closing adjustments. The closing of the sale of the Manitowoc System
is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the holders of
a majority of the limited partnership interests in each of the four
partnerships that comprise Joint Fund 11 in votes to be conducted in 1996 and
the successful renewal and transfer of the Manitowoc System's franchise.
If the proposed sale of the Manitowoc System is closed, Joint Fund 11
will pay all of its indebtedness, which totaled $55,175 at December 1995,
including $45,258 owed to the General Partner, and then the net sale proceeds
plus cash on hand will be distributed to the four constituent partnerships of
Joint Fund 11 in proportion to their ownership interests in Joint Fund 11.
The Partnership accordingly will receive 18 percent of such proceeds,
estimated to total approximately $3,356,700. Proceeds of approximately
$3,345,900 will be available for the Partnership to distribute, which is net
of $10,781 payable to the General Partner by the Partnership. Because limited
partners have already received distributions in an amount in excess of the
capital initially contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners, the
Partnership's portion of the net proceeds from the Manitowoc System's sale
will be distributed 75 percent to the limited partners and 25 percent to the
General Partner. Based upon pro forma financial information as of
December 31, 1995, as a result of the Manitowoc System's sale, the limited
partners of the Partnership, as a group, will receive approximately $2,509,400
and the General Partner will receive approximately $836,500. As a result, it
is anticipated that the limited partners will receive approximately $54 for
each $500 limited partnership interest, or approximately $107 for each $1,000
invested in the Partnership, from the Partnership's portion of the net
proceeds of the Manitowoc System's sale. After the Partnership distributes
its portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Manitowoc System to its
partners, the Partnership will be dissolved and liquidated.
CABLE TV JOINT FUND 11
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1995 compared to 1994
Revenues in Joint Fund 11's Manitowoc System totaled $3,632,675 in
1995 compared to $3,296,103 in 1994, an increase of $336,572, or approximately
10 percent. An increase in the subscriber base accounted for approximately 55
percent of the increase in revenues in 1995. The number of basic subscribers
increased by 602 subscribers, or approximately 6 percent, to 11,436 at December
31, 1995 from 10,834 at December 31, 1994. The number of premium subscribers
increased by 635 subscriptions, or approximately 9 percent, to 7,726 at
December 31, 1995 from 7,091 at December 31, 1994. Basic service rate
increases accounted for approximately 14 percent of the increase in revenues.
An increase in advertising sales activity accounted for approximately 22
percent of the increase in revenues. No other individual factor contributed
significantly to the increase in revenues.
12
13
Operating expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the
administration of the Manitowoc System. The principal cost components are
salaries paid to system personnel, programming expenses, professional fees,
subscriber billing costs, rent for leased facilities, cable system maintenance
expenses and consumer marketing expenses.
Operating expenses in the Manitowoc System totaled $2,327,354 in 1995
compared to $2,026,763 in 1994, an increase of $300,591, or approximately 15
percent. Operating expenses represented approximately 64 percent of revenues
in 1995 compared to approximately 61 percent of revenues in 1994. The increase
in expenses was primarily due to an increase in programming fees, property tax
expense and advertising sales related expenses. The increase in advertising
sales related expenses was due, in part, to an increase in advertising sales
activity. No other individual factor significantly affected the increase in
operating expenses.
Management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner
totaled $463,691 for 1995 compared to $437,558 in 1994, an increase of $26,133,
or approximately 6 percent. The increase was due to the increase in revenues,
upon which such fees and allocations are based, and increases in allocated
expenses from the General Partner.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $545,237 in 1995
compared to $522,593 in 1994, an increase of $22,644, or approximately 4
percent, due to capital additions in 1995 and 1994.
Operating income totaled $296,393 in 1995 compared to $309,189 in
1994, a decrease of $12,796, or approximately 4 percent. The decrease was due
to the increases in operating expenses, management fees and allocated overhead
from the General Partner and depreciation and amortization expense exceeding
the increase in revenues.
The cable television industry generally measures the performance of a
cable television system in terms of cash flow or operating income before
depreciation and amortization. The value of a cable television system is often
determined using multiples of cash flow. This measure is not intended to be a
substitute or improvement upon the items disclosed on the financial statements,
rather it is included because it is an industry standard. Operating income
before depreciation and amortization totaled $841,630 for 1995 compared to
$831,782 in 1994, an increase of $9,848, or approximately 1 percent. The
increase was due to the increase in revenues exceeding the increases in
operating expenses and management fees and allocated overhead from the General
Partner.
Interest income totaled $166,280 in 1995 compared to $87,134 in 1994,
an increase of $79,146, or approximately 91 percent. This increase was due to
higher cash balances and higher interest rates on interest-bearing accounts in
1995.
Interest expense totaled $10,003 in 1995 compared to $15,716 in 1994,
a decrease of $5,713, or approximately 36 percent. The decrease was due to
lower outstanding balances on interest bearing obligations in 1995.
Net income of Joint Fund 11 totaled $453,912 in 1995 compared to
$373,181 in 1994, an increase of $80,731, or approximately 22 percent. The
increase was due primarily to the increase in interest income.
1994 compared to 1993
Revenues in the Manitowoc System totaled $3,296,103 in 1994 compared
to $3,292,675 in 1993, an increase of $3,428, or less than 1 percent. An
increase in the subscriber base primarily accounted for the increase in
revenues. Basic service subscribers increased 1,066, or approximately 11
percent, to 10,834 at December 31, 1994 from 9,768 at December 31, 1993.
Premium service subscriptions increased 1,795, or approximately 34 percent, to
7,091 at December 31, 1994 from 5,296 at December 31, 1993. The increase in
revenues would have been greater but for reductions in basic service rates due
to basic service rate regulations issued by the FCC in May 1993 and February
1994. No other individual factor was significant to the increase in revenues.
Operating expenses in the Manitowoc System totaled $2,026,763 in 1994
compared to $1,947,068 in 1993, an increase of $79,695, or approximately 4
percent. The increase in operating expenses was due primarily to increases in
programming fees and marketing related costs due to increases in basic service
subscribers and premium service subscriptions. These increases were partially
offset by a decrease in copyright fees. No other individual factor contributed
significantly to the increase in operating expenses. Operating expenses
represented approximately 61 percent of revenues in 1994 compared to
approximately 59 percent of revenues in 1993.
13
14
Management fees and allocated overhead from the General Partner
totaled $437,558 in 1994 compared to $411,577 in 1993, an increase of $25,981,
or approximately 6 percent. The increase was due to an increase in allocated
expenses from the General Partner. The General Partner experienced increases
in expenses in 1994.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $522,593 in 1994
compared to $517,441 in 1993, an increase of $5,152, or approximately 1
percent, due to capital additions in 1994 and 1993.
Operating income in the Manitowoc System totaled $309,189 in 1994
compared to $416,589 in 1993, a decrease of $107,400, or approximately 26
percent. The decrease was due to the increases in operating expenses,
allocated overhead from the General Partner and depreciation and amortization
expense exceeding the increase in revenues.
Interest expense for Joint Fund 11 totaled $15,716 in 1994 compared to
$22,912 in 1993, a decrease of $7,196, or approximately 31 percent, due to a
lower outstanding balance on interest bearing obligations. Other expense
totaled $7,426 in 1994 compared to $248,912 in 1993, primarily as a result of
Joint Fund 11 incurring costs associated with the litigation with the City of
Manitowoc during 1993. No such costs were incurred in 1994.
Net income for Joint Fund 11 totaled $373,181 in 1994 compared to
$246,536 in 1993, an increase of $126,645, or approximately 51 percent, due
primarily to the decrease in litigation costs discussed above.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
On September 5, 1995, Joint Fund 11 entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Manitowoc System to the
General Partner for a sales price of $15,735,667, subject to normal working
capital closing adjustments. This sales price is the average of three separate
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Manitowoc System and the
General Partner's offer was the only bid tendered in a public bidding process
for the Manitowoc System. The General Partner has assigned its rights and
obligations under the asset purchase agreement to Jones Cable Holdings, Inc.
("JCH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner. The closing of the
sale will occur on a date upon which Joint Fund 11 and JCH mutually agree by
September 30, 1996. The sale of the Manitowoc System is subject to a number of
conditions, including approval of the transaction by the holders of a majority
of the Partnership's limited partnership interests and approvals from
governmental authorities and other third parties necessary to the transfer of
the Manitowoc System. If all conditions precedent to JCH's obligation to
close are not eventually satisfied or waived, JCH's obligation to purchase the
Manitowoc System will terminate on September 30, 1996.
In order to sell the Manitowoc System, Joint Fund 11 must obtain the
consent of the City of Manitowoc and third parties with whom Joint Fund 11 has
contracts related to the Manitowoc System, such as pole attachment agreements
or other service agreements, to the transfer thereof. Joint Fund 11 was
unsuccessful in its efforts to sell the Manitowoc System in June 1990, at the
time of Joint Fund 11's sale of its remaining Wisconsin cable television
systems, due to the refusal of the City of Manitowoc to consent to the transfer
of the system's franchise. Negotiations with the City of Manitowoc with
respect to the renewal and transfer of the Manitowoc System's franchise are
continuing, and the Manitowoc System currently is being operated pursuant to a
temporary extension of the franchise's term until March 29, 1996. The General
Partner hopes that the City ultimately will agree to the renewal and transfer
of the franchise and that the City will not take any action that will prevent
the closing of the sale of the Manitowoc System, but given the current status
of negotiations with the City there can be no assurance that the sale will
occur as planned.
If the proposed sale of the Manitowoc System is closed, Joint Fund 11
intends to distribute the sale proceeds, after the repayment of debt, to Cable
TV Fund 11-A, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 11-B, Ltd., Cable TV Fund 11-C, Ltd. and
Cable TV Fund 11-D, Ltd. Net sales proceeds plus Joint Fund 11's cash on hand,
which are expected to total approximately $18,420,800, will be distributed as
follows: Cable TV Fund 11-A, Ltd. will receive approximately $3,356,700; Cable
TV Fund 11-B, Ltd. will receive approximately $1,432,700; Cable TV Fund 11-C,
Ltd. will receive approximately $4,994,100 and Cable TV Fund 11-D, Ltd. will
receive approximately $8,637,300. After Joint Fund 11 distributes the proceeds
from the sale of the Manitowoc System to its partners, Joint Fund 11 will be
liquidated and dissolved.
Joint Fund 11 had no bank debt outstanding at December 31, 1995.
During 1995, Joint Fund 11 expended approximately $311,000 for capital
expenditures in the Manitowoc System. These expenditures were used for various
projects to maintain the value of the system. These expenditures were funded
from cash generated from operations.
14
15
Capital expenditures in 1996 for the Manitowoc System will consist of
expenditures necessary to maintain the value of the Manitowoc System until it
is sold. Joint Fund 11 has sufficient liquidity and capital resources,
including cash on hand and its ability to generate cash from operations, to
meet its anticipated needs.
REGULATION AND LEGISLATION
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), which became law
on February 8, 1996, substantially revised the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, including the 1984 Cable Act and the 1992 Cable Act, and has been
described as one of the most significant changes in communications regulation
since the original Communications Act of 1934. The 1996 Act is intended, in
part, to promote substantial competition in the telephone local exchange and in
the delivery of video and other services. As a result of the 1996 Act, local
telephone companies (also known as local exchange carriers or "LECs") and other
service providers are permitted to provide video programming, and cable
television operators are permitted entry into the telephone local exchange
market. The FCC is required to conduct rulemaking proceedings over the next
several months to implement various provisions of the 1996 Act.
Among other provisions, the 1996 Act modified the 1992 Cable Act by
deregulating the cable programming service tier of large cable operators
including Joint Fund 11 effective March 31, 1999 and the cable programming
service tier of "small" cable operators in systems providing service to 50,000
or fewer subscribers effective immediately. The 1996 Act also revised the
procedures for filing cable programming service tier rate complaints and adds a
new effective competition test.
It is premature to predict the specific effects of the 1996 Act on the
cable industry in general or Joint Fund 11 in particular. The FCC will be
undertaking numerous rulemaking proceedings to interpret and implement the 1996
Act. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of those
proceedings or their effect on Joint Fund 11. See Item 1.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of Cable TV Fund 11-A, Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CABLE TV FUND 11-A,
LTD. (a Colorado limited partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit) and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the General Partner's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cable TV Fund 11-A,
Ltd. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CABLE TV FUND 11-A, LTD.
(A Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS' INTERESTS
Formation and Business
Cable TV Fund 11-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), a Colorado limited
partnership, was formed on March 4, 1983, under a public program sponsored by
Jones Intercable, Inc. The Partnership was formed to acquire, construct,
develop and operate cable television systems. Jones Intercable, Inc.
("Intercable") is the "General Partner" and manager of the Partnership. The
General Partner and its subsidiaries also own and operate cable television
systems. In addition, Intercable manages cable television systems for other
limited partnerships for which it is general partner and, also, for affiliated
entities. In June 1988, the Partnership sold its only remaining operating
system. The Partnership owns an 18 percent interest in Cable TV Joint Fund 11
("Joint Fund 11") through capital contributions made during 1984 of $8,200,000.
Joint Fund 11 owns and operates the cable television system serving areas in
and around the city of Manitowoc, Wisconsin (the "Manitowoc System").
Proposed Sale of Cable Television System
On September 5, 1995, Joint Fund 11 entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Manitowoc System to the
General Partner for a sales price of $15,735,667, subject to normal working
capital closing adjustments. The closing of the sale of the Manitowoc System
is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the holders of
a majority of the limited partnership interests in each of the four
partnerships that comprise Joint Fund 11 in votes to be conducted in 1996 and
the successful renewal and transfer of the Manitowoc System's franchise.
If the proposed sale of the Manitowoc System is closed, Joint Fund 11
will pay all of its indebtedness, which totaled $55,175 at December 1995,
including $45,258 owed to the General Partner, and then the net sale proceeds
plus cash on hand will be distributed to the four constituent partnerships of
Joint Fund 11 in proportion to their ownership interests in Joint Fund 11.
The Partnership accordingly will receive 18 percent of such proceeds,
estimated to total approximately $3,356,700. Proceeds of approximately
$3,345,900 will be available for the Partnership to distribute, which is net
of $10,781 payable to the General Partner by the Partnership. Because limited
partners have already received distributions in an amount in excess of the
capital initially contributed to the Partnership by the limited partners, the
Partnership's portion of the net proceeds from the Manitowoc System's sale
will be distributed 75 percent to the limited partners and 25 percent to the
General Partner. Based upon pro forma financial information as of
December 31, 1995, as a result of the Manitowoc System's sale, the limited
partners of the Partnership, as a group, will receive approximately $2,509,400
and the General Partner will receive approximately $836,500. As a result, it
is anticipated that the limited partners will receive approximately $54 for
each $500 limited partnership interest, or approximately $107 for each $1,000
invested in the Partnership, from the Partnership's portion of the net
proceeds of the Manitowoc System's sale. After the Partnership distributes
its portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Manitowoc System to its
partners, the Partnership will be dissolved and liquidated.
Contributed Capital
The capitalization of the Partnership is set forth in the accompanying
statements of partners' capital (deficit). No limited partner is obligated to
make any additional contribution to partnership capital.
Intercable purchased its interest in the Partnership by contributing
$1,000 to partnership capital.
All profits and losses of the Partnership are allocated 99 percent to
the limited partners and 1 percent to Intercable, except for income or gain
from the sale or disposition of cable television properties, which were
allocated to the partners based upon the formula set forth in the Partnership
Agreement and interest income earned prior to the first acquisition by the
Partnership of a cable television system, which was allocated 100 percent to
the limited partners.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Records
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The Partnership tax returns are also prepared on the accrual
basis.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner's management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment in Cable Television Joint Venture
The Partnership's investment in Joint Fund 11 is accounted for under
the equity method due to the Partnership's influence on Joint Fund 11 as a
General Partner. When compared to the December 31, 1994 balance, this
investment has increased by $82,703. This increase represents the
Partnership's proportionate share of income generated by Joint Fund 11 during
1995. The operations of Joint Fund 11 are significant to the Partnership and
should be reviewed in conjunction with these financial statements. Reference
is made to the accompanying financial statements of Joint Fund 11 on pages 25
to 33.
(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES
Management Fees and Distribution Ratios
Intercable manages the Partnership and Joint Fund 11 and receives a
fee for its services equal to 5 percent of the gross revenues of Joint Fund 11,
excluding revenues from the sale of cable television systems or franchises.
Any distributions made from cash flow (defined as cash receipts
derived from routine operations, less debt principal and interest payments and
cash expenses) are allocated 99 percent to the limited partners and 1 percent
to Intercable. Any distributions other than interest income on limited partner
subscriptions earned prior to the acquisition of the Partnership's first cable
television system or from cash flow, such as from sale or refinancing of the
system or upon dissolution of the Partnership, are made as follows: first, to
the limited partners in an amount which, together with all prior distributions,
will equal the amount initially contributed to the partnership capital by the
limited partners; the balance, 75 percent to the limited partners and 25
percent to Intercable. During 1988, approximately $40,607,700 was distributed
to the limited partners as a result of the sale of the cable television system
serving the areas in and around Anne Arundel County, Maryland. This amount
included the return of initial contributed capital of $23,362,500. Also,
$5,748,975 was distributed to Intercable. In July 1990, a distribution of
$21,322,144 was made to partners from funds received from Joint Fund 11, of
which 75 percent ($15,991,608) was distributed to the limited partners and 25
percent ($5,330,536) was distributed to Intercable. Any future distributions
will be made 75 percent to the limited partners and 25 percent to Intercable.
(4) INCOME TAXES
Income taxes have not been recorded in the accompanying financial
statements because they accrue directly to the partners. The federal and state
income tax returns of the Partnership are prepared and filed by Intercable.
The Partnership's tax returns, the qualification of the Partnership as
such for tax purposes, and the amount of distributable income or loss are
subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such
examinations result in changes with respect to the Partnership's qualification
as such, or in changes with respect to the Partnership's recorded income or
loss, the tax liability of the General and limited partners would likely be
changed accordingly.
Taxable income reported to the partners is different from that
reported in the statements of operations due to the difference in depreciation
allowed under generally accepted accounting principles and the expense allowed
for tax purposes under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS).
There are no other significant differences between taxable income or losses and
the net income or losses reported in the statements of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of Cable TV Joint Fund 11:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CABLE TV JOINT FUND
11 (a Colorado general partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statements of operations, partners' capital and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the General Partners' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cable TV Joint Fund
11 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CABLE TV JOINT FUND 11
(A General Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS' INTERESTS
Formation and Business
Cable TV Joint Fund 11 ("Joint Fund 11"), a Colorado general
partnership, was formed on February 1, 1984, through a joint venture agreement
made by and among Cable TV Fund 11-A, Ltd. ("Fund 11-A"), Cable TV Fund 11-B,
Ltd. ("Fund 11-B"), Cable TV Fund 11-C, Ltd. ("Fund 11-C") and Cable TV Fund
11-D, Ltd ("Fund 11-D"), all Colorado limited partnerships (the "Joint Venture
Partners"). Joint Fund 11 was formed to acquire, construct, develop and
operate cable television systems. Joint Fund 11 owns and operates the cable
television system serving areas in and around the city of Manitowoc, Wisconsin
(the "Manitowoc System"). Jones Intercable, Inc. ("Intercable"), who is the
"General Partner" of each of the Joint Venture Partners, manages Joint Fund 11.
Intercable and its subsidiaries also own and operate other cable television
systems. In addition, Intercable manages cable television systems for other
limited partnerships for which it is general partner and, also, for affiliated
entities.
Proposed Sale of Cable Television System
On September 5, 1995, Joint Fund 11 entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Manitowoc System to the
General Partner for a sales price of $15,735,667, subject to normal working
capital closing adjustments. This sales price is the average of three separate
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Manitowoc System and the
General Partner's offer was the only bid tendered in a public bidding process
for the Manitowoc System. The General Partner assigned its rights and
obligations under the asset purchase agreement to Jones Cable Holdings, Inc.
("JCH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner. The closing of the
sale will occur on a date upon which Joint Fund 11 and JCH mutually agree by
September 30, 1996. The sale of the Manitowoc System is subject to a number of
conditions, including approval of the transaction by the holders of a majority
of the Partnership's limited partnership interests and approvals from
governmental authorities and other third parties necessary to the transfer of
the Manitowoc System. If all conditions precedent to JCH's obligation to
close are not eventually satisfied or waived, JCH's obligation to purchase the
Manitowoc System will terminate on September 30, 1996.
In order to sell the Manitowoc System, Joint Fund 11 must obtain the
consent of the City of Manitowoc and third parties with whom Joint Fund 11 has
contracts related to the Manitowoc System, such as pole attachment agreements
or other service agreements, to the transfer thereof. Joint Fund 11 was
unsuccessful in its efforts to sell the Manitowoc System in June 1990, at the
time of Joint Fund 11's sale of its remaining Wisconsin cable television
systems, due to the refusal of the City of Manitowoc to consent to the transfer
of the system's franchise. Negotiations with the City of Manitowoc with
respect to the renewal and transfer of the Manitowoc System's franchise are
continuing, and the Manitowoc System currently is being operated pursuant to a
temporary extension of the franchise's term until March 29, 1996. The General
Partner hopes that the City ultimately will agree to the renewal and transfer
of the franchise and that the City will not take any action that will prevent
the closing of the sale of the Manitowoc System, but given the current status
of negotiations with the City there can be no assurance that the sale will
occur as planned.
If the proposed sale of the Manitowoc System is closed, Joint Fund 11
will pay all of its indebtedness, which totaled $55,175 at December 1995,
including $45,258 owed to the General Partner, and then the net sales proceeds
plus cash on hand will be distributed to the Joint Venture Partners in
proportion to their ownership interests in Joint Fund 11. The net sales
proceeds will be distributed as follows: Fund 11-A will receive approximately
$3,356,700; Fund 11-B will receive approximately $1,432,700; Fund 11-C will
receive approximately $4,994,100 and Fund 11-D will receive approximately
$8,637,300.
Contributed Capital, Sharing Ratios and Distribution
The capitalization of Joint Fund 11 is set forth in the accompanying
statements of partners' capital. Profits and losses of Joint Fund 11 are
allocated to the partners in proportion to their respective partnership
interests.
30
31
All partnership distributions, including those made from cash flow
(defined as cash receipts derived from routine operations, less debt principal
and interest payments and cash expenses), from the sale or refinancing of
partnership property and on dissolution of Joint Fund 11, are made to the
partners also in proportion to their approximate respective interests in Joint
Fund 11 as follows:
Cable TV Fund 11-A, Ltd. 18%
Cable TV Fund 11-B, Ltd. 8%
Cable TV Fund 11-C, Ltd. 27%
Cable TV Fund 11-D, Ltd. 47%

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Records
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Joint Fund 11's tax returns are also prepared on the accrual
basis.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner's management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the
following estimated service lives:
Cable distribution systems 5-15 years
Equipment and tools 3-5 years
Buildings 20 years
Office furniture and equipment 5 years
Vehicles 3 years
Replacements, renewals and improvements are capitalized and
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Intangible Assets
Costs assigned to franchises and subscriber lists were amortized using
the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
Revenue Recognition
Subscriber prepayments are initially deferred and recognized as
revenue when earned.
(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH JONES INTERCABLE, INC. AND AFFILIATES
Management Fees and Reimbursements
Intercable manages Joint Fund 11 and receives a fee for its services
equal to 5 percent of the gross revenues, excluding revenues from the sale of
the cable television systems or franchises. Management fees paid to Intercable
during 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $181,634, $164,805 and $164,634, respectively.
Intercable is reimbursed for certain allocated overhead and
administrative expenses. These expenses represent the salaries and related
benefits paid to corporate personnel, rent, data processing services and other
corporate facilities costs.
31
32
Such personnel provide engineering, marketing, administrative, accounting,
legal and investor relations services to Joint Fund 11. Allocations of
personnel costs are primarily based upon actual time spent by employees of
Intercable 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 Intercable and certain of
its subsidiaries. Systems owned by Intercable and all other systems owned by
partnerships for which Intercable is the general partner are also allocated a
proportionate share of these expenses. Intercable believes that the
methodology used in allocating overhead and administrative expenses is
reasonable. The amount of allocated overhead and administrative expenses
charged to Joint Fund 11 during 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $282,057, $272,753 and
$246,943, respectively.
Joint Fund 11 was charged interest during 1995 at an average interest
rate of 10.5 percent on the amounts due Intercable, which approximated
Intercable's weighted average cost of borrowings. Total interest charged
during 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $6,848, $13,306 and $21,071, respectively.
Payments to/from Affiliates for Programming Services
Joint Fund 11 receives programming from Superaudio, Mind Extension
University, Jones Computer Network and Product Information Network, all of
which are affiliates of Intercable.
Payments to Superaudio totaled $6,318, $6,105 and $6,040 in 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively. Payments to Mind Extension University totaled $6,759,
$5,532 and $3,515 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Payments to Jones
Computer Network, which initiated service in 1994, totaled $12,760 and $3,316
in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Joint Fund 11 receives a commission from Product Information Network
based on a percentage of advertising revenue and number of subscribers. Product
Information Network, which initiated service in 1994, paid commissions to Joint
Fund 11 totaling $4,559 and $510 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Debt consists of capital lease obligations with maturities of 1 to 4
years. Installments due on debt principal for the five years in the period
ending December 31, 2000, respectively, are: $2,776, $2,776, $2,776, $1,589,

(6) INCOME TAXES
Income taxes have not been recorded in the accompanying financial
statements because they accrue to the partners of Funds 11-A, 11-B, 11-C and
11-D, which are general partners in Joint Fund 11.
Joint Fund 11's tax returns, the qualification of the Partnership as
such for tax purposes, and the amount of distributable partnership income or
loss are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If
such examinations result in changes with respect to Joint Fund 11's
qualification as such, or in changes with respect to Joint
32
33
Fund 11's recorded income or loss, the tax liability of the general and
limited partners would likely be changed accordingly.
Taxable income reported to the partners is different from that
reported in the statements of operations due to the difference in depreciation
allowed under generally accepted accounting principles and the expense allowed
for tax purposes under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS).
There are no other significant differences between taxable income and the net
income reported in the statements of operations.

the Partnership required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, were not filed within the required time. None of these
individuals own any limited partnership interests in the Partnership.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Partnership has no employees; however, various personnel are required
to operate the Manitowoc System. Such personnel are employed by the General
Partner and, the cost of such employment is charged by the General Partner to
the Venture as a direct reimbursement item. See Item 13.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGERS
No person or entity owns more than 5 percent of the limited partnership
interests of the Partnership.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The General Partner and its affiliates engage in certain transactions with
the Venture. The General Partner believes that the terms of such transactions
are generally as favorable as could be obtained by the Venture from unaffiliated
parties. This determination has been made by the General Partner in good faith,
but none of the terms were or will be negotiated at arm's-length and there can
be no assurance that the terms of such transactions have been or will be as
favorable as those that could have been obtained by the Venture from
unaffiliated parties.
The General Partner charges a management fee, and the General Partner is
reimbursed for certain allocated overhead and administrative expenses. These
expenses represent the salaries and benefits paid to 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 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 also advances funds and charges interest on the balance
payable. The interest rate charged approximates the General Partner's weighted
average cost of borrowing.
The Manitowoc System receives stereo audio programming from Superaudio, a
joint venture owned 50% by an affiliate of the General Partner and 50% by an
unaffiliated party, educational video programming from Mind Extension
University, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, and computer video
programming from Jones Computer Network, Ltd., an affiliate of the General
Partner, for fees based upon the number of subscribers receiving the
programming.
Product Information Network ("PIN"), an affiliate of the General Partner,
provides advertising time for third parties on the Manitowoc System. In
consideration, the revenues generated from the third parties are shared between
PIN and the Venture. During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Venture
