                            (A Limited Partnership)

                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)      This Form 10-Q is being filed in conformity with the Securities and
Exchange Commission 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 Jones Spacelink Income/Growth Fund 1-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") at
September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and its results of operations for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and its cash
flows for the nine month periods ended September 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, a Colorado limited partnership, was formed on May 12,
1988, pursuant to a public offering of limited partner interests sponsored by
Jones Spacelink, Ltd. ("Spacelink").  On December 20, 1994, Jones Intercable,
Inc. ("Intercable"), a Colorado corporation that was a subsidiary of Spacelink,
acquired substantially all of the assets of Spacelink, including Spacelink's
general partner interest in the Partnership.  Intercable now is the general
partner and manager of the Partnership.  All references herein to the "General
Partner" relating to matters prior to December 20, 1994 are to Spacelink, and
all references to the "General Partner" relating to matters after that date are
to Intercable.  Intercable and certain of its subsidiaries also own and operate
cable television systems for their own account and for the account of other
managed limited partnerships.

         The Partnership owns and operates the cable television systems serving
the areas in and around the communities of Bluffton, Decatur, Monroe, Auburn,
Butler, Uniondale, Waterloo and Garett, and the unincorporated areas of Wells,
Allen, Noble, Adams and DeKalb Counties, all in the State of Indiana (the
"Bluffton systems").  In addition, the Partnership owns the cable television
system serving the communities of Lake Geneva and areas of Walworth County, all
in the State of Wisconsin (the "Lake Geneva System") and the cable television
system serving the communities of Ripon and areas of Fond-du-Lac County, all in
the State of Wisconsin (the "Ripon System").

(2)      On September 5, 1995, the Partnership entered into two asset purchase
agreements pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Lake Geneva System and the
Ripon System to Intercable for a sales price of $6,345,667 for the Lake Geneva
System and a sales price of $3,712,667 for the Ripon System.  The sales price
for each of the Lake Geneva System and the Ripon System represents the average
of three separate independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Lake
Geneva System and the Ripon System, respectively.  Intercable has assigned its
rights and obligations under the asset purchase agreements to Jones Cable
Holdings, Inc., a Colorado corporation that is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Intercable.  After its acquisition of the Lake Geneva System and the Ripon
System, Jones Cable Holdings, Inc. intends to convey these systems, together
with other cable television systems that it owns and/or will acquire, to Time
Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("Time Warner"), an unaffiliated cable
television system operator, in return for which Time Warner will convey to
Jones Cable Holdings, Inc. the cable television systems serving communities in
and around Savannah, Georgia.  The closings of Lake Geneva System and Ripon
System sales are not contingent upon the closing of the Time Warner exchange.

         The closings of the sales of the Lake Geneva System and the Ripon
System are expected to occur during the first half of 1996.  No vote of limited
partners is required in connection with this transaction because the Lake
Geneva System and the Ripon System individually and collectively do not
represent the sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets.
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership's current credit agreement,
distribution of the proceeds from the sales of the Lake Geneva System and the
Ripon System is not permitted, and the proceeds must be applied to reducing the
Partnership's outstanding indebtedness.  The Partnership will attempt to
refinance its credit agreement to permit a distribution to its limited partners
of a portion of the proceeds from the sales of the Lake Geneva System and the
Ripon System.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership's
credit facility will be refinanced and thus there can be no assurance of a
distribution to the limited partners of any portion of the sales proceeds.  
The pro forma effect of the sale of the Lake Geneva System and the Ripon 
System on the results of the Partnership's operations for the nine month 
periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, assuming the transaction had
occurred at the beginning of the periods, is presented in the following
unaudited tabulation:

(3)      Intercable manages the Partnership and receives a fee for its services
equal to five percent of the gross revenues of the Partnership, excluding
revenues from the sale of cable television systems or franchises.  Management
fees paid to the General Partner by the Partnership for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1995 were $86,224 and $254,921, respectively,
compared to $81,939 and $239,944, respectively, for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1994.

         The Partnership reimburses the General Partner for certain allocated
general and administrative expenses.  These expenses include salaries and
benefits paid to corporate personnel, office rent and related facilities
expense.  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 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
Intercable is the general partner are also allocated a proportionate share of
these expenses.  The General Partner believes that the methodology used in
allocating general and administrative costs is reasonable.  General and
administrative expenses allocated to the Partnership by the General Partner
were $140,678 and $399,948 for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1995, respectively, compared to $122,431 and $384,650 for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1994, respectively.

(4)      A primary objective of the Partnership is to provide quarterly cash
distributions to the partners, principally from cash flow from operations
remaining after principal and interest payments and the creation of any
reserves necessary for the operation of the Partnership.  The Partnership
declared distributions to be paid to the partners in the amount of $312,500 for
each of the three month periods ended March 31, 1995, June 30, 1995 and
September 30, 1995.  The distributions were primarily from first, second and
third quarter 1995 cash flows.  The first quarter distribution was paid in May
1995, the second quarter distribution was paid in August 1995 and the third
quarter distribution will be paid in November 1995.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                              FINANCIAL CONDITION


         For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership
generated cash from operating activities totaling $1,014,481, which is
available to fund capital expenditures and non-operating costs.  During the
first nine months of 1995, the Partnership purchased plant and equipment for
its cable television systems totaling approximately $1,006,000.  Approximately
33 percent of these expenditures were for service drops to homes.
Approximately 33 percent were for plant extensions.  The remainder of these
expenditures were for various enhancements throughout all of the Partnership's
cable television systems.  The capital expenditures were funded primarily from
cash flow from operations and borrowings from the Partnership's revolving
credit facility.  Anticipated capital expenditures for the remainder of 1995
are estimated to be approximately $137,000, and will be financed primarily from
cash flow from operations and borrowings from the Partnership's credit
facility.  It is estimated that approximately 54 percent of these expenditures
will be for upgrades to cable television plant and approximately 45 percent for
service drops to homes.

         In September 1994, the Partnership renegotiated the terms of its
credit facility to extend the revolving credit period and to increase the
amount available to $14,000,000 to provide the Partnership with a source of
funding for capital expenditures. The then-outstanding principal balance on the
revolving credit facility will convert on December 31, 1996 to a term loan with
a final maturity date of December 31, 1999.  At September 30, 1995, $11,300,000
was outstanding, leaving $2,700,000 for future borrowings.  Interest on the
outstanding principal balance is at the Partnership's option of Prime plus 3/8
percent or London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1-3/8 percent.  The effective
interest rates on outstanding obligations as of September 30, 1995 and 1994
were 7.1 percent and 6.2 percent, respectively.

         A primary objective of the Partnership is to provide quarterly cash
distributions to the partners, principally from cash flow from operations
remaining after principal and interest payments and the creation of any
reserves necessary for the operation of the Partnership.  The Partnership
declared distributions to be paid to the partners in the amount of $312,500 for
each of the three month periods ended March 31, 1995, June 30, 1995 and
September 30, 1995.  The distributions were primarily from first, second and
third quarter 1995 cash flows.  The first quarter distribution was paid in May
1995, the second quarter distribution was paid in August 1995 and the third
quarter distribution will be paid in November 1995.

         The General Partner presently believes cash flow from operations and
available borrowings from the Partnership's revolving credit facility will be
sufficient to fund capital expenditures and other liquidity needs of the
Partnership over the near-term.

         On September 5, 1995, the Partnership entered into two asset purchase
agreements pursuant to which it agreed to sell the Lake Geneva System and the
Ripon System to Intercable for a sales price of $6,345,667 for the Lake Geneva
System and a sales price of $3,712,667 for the Ripon System.  The sales price
for each of the Lake Geneva System and the Ripon System represents the average
of three separate independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Lake
Geneva System and the Ripon System, respectively.  Intercable has assigned its
rights and obligations under the asset purchase agreements to Jones Cable
Holdings, Inc., a Colorado corporation that is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Intercable.  After its acquisition of the Lake Geneva System and the Ripon
System, Jones Cable Holdings, Inc. intends to convey these systems, together
with other cable television systems that it owns and/or will acquire, to Time
Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("Time Warner"), an unaffiliated cable
television system operator, in return for which Time Warner will convey to
Jones Cable Holdings, Inc. the cable television systems serving communities in
and around Savannah, Georgia.  The closings of Lake Geneva System and Ripon
System sales are not contingent upon the closing of the Time Warner exchange.

         The closings of the sales of the Lake Geneva System and the Ripon
System are expected to occur during the first half of 1996.  No vote of limited
partners is required in connection with this transaction because the Lake
Geneva System and the Ripon System individually and collectively do not
represent the sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets.
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership's current credit agreement,
distribution of the proceeds from the sales of the Lake Geneva System and the
Ripon System is not permitted, and the proceeds must be applied to reducing the
Partnership's outstanding indebtedness.  The Partnership will attempt to
refinance its credit agreement to permit a distribution to its limited partners
of a portion of the proceeds from the sales of the Lake Geneva System and the
Ripon System.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership's
credit facility will be refinanced and thus there can be no assurance of a
distribution to the limited partners of any portion of the sales proceeds. 
Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements for the pro 
forma effect of the sale of the Lake Geneva System and the Ripon System on the
results of the Partnership's operations for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, assuming the transaction had occurred at the
beginning of the periods.

Regulatory Matters

         The FCC's rate regulations related to the 1992 Cable Act contain
provisions for increasing rates for added channels, external costs and
inflation.  The Partnership has been able to adjust rates recently under such
provisions.  Such adjustments, together with a reduction in the cost of
implementing the 1992 Cable Act compared to such costs in prior periods, are
expected to cause the Partnership's revenue and cash flow to increase in fiscal
1996.

         Currently, there is legislation before Congress which, if enacted,
would significantly change the regulatory environment in which the cable
industry operates.  Such legislation may eliminate rate regulation and allow
telephone companies and others much broader entry into the cable television
business and, in turn, may allow cable operators into the telephone and other
telecommunications businesses.  While the General Partner is encouraged by
provisions of the legislation, it is too early to assess the impact such
legislation, if enacted, would have on the Partnership.


                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Revenues of the Partnership increased $85,701, or approximately 5
percent, to $1,724,483 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 from
$1,638,782 for the three months ended September 30, 1994.  Revenues of the
Partnership increased $299,536, or approximately 6 percent, to $5,098,421 for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 from $4,798,885 for the
comparable period in 1994.  These increases in revenue were primarily the
result of increases in the number of basic subscribers.  An increase in the
number of basic subscribers accounted for approximately 95 and 67 percent,
respectively, of the increase for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995.  The number of basic subscribers increased by 1,149
subscribers, to 19,877 at September 30, 1995 from 18,728 at September 30, 1994.
No other individual factor significantly affected the increase in revenues.

          Operating expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the
administration of the Partnership's cable television systems.  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 increased $115,984, or approximately 15 percent, to
$908,207 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $792,223 for the
three months ended September 30, 1994.  Operating expenses represented
approximately 53 percent and 49 percent, respectively, of revenues for the
three month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Of this total increase
in operating expenses, programming expenses increased approximately $71,586,
representing approximately 62 percent of the total increase.  Operating
expenses increased $224,913, or approximately 9 percent, to $2,573,217 for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1995 to $2,348,304 for the comparable
period in 1994.  Of this total increase in operating expenses, programming
costs increased approximately $113,958, representing approximately 51 percent
of the total increase.  No other individual factor significantly affected the
increase in operating expenses for the periods discussed.

         Management fees and allocated administrative costs from the General
Partner increased $22,532, or approximately 11 percent, to $226,902 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 from $204,370 for the similar period in 1994.
Management fees and allocated administrative costs from the General Partner
increased $30,275, or approximately 5 percent from $654,869 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1995 to $624,594 for the similar period in 1994.
These increases were primarily due to increases in revenues, upon which such
management fees are based, as well as increases in allocated expenses from the
General Partner.  The General Partner has experienced increases in expenses, a
portion of which is allocated to the Partnership.

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased $28,720, or
approximately 3 percent, to $794,531 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995
from $765,811 for the comparable 1994 period.  Depreciation and amortization
expense increased $86,404, or approximately 4 percent, to $2,385,950 for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1995 from $2,299,546 for the comparable
period in 1994.  The increase was a result of capital additions during 1995.

         Operating loss increased $81,535, or approximately 66 percent, to
$205,157 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 from $123,622 for the
comparable 1994 period.  Operating loss increased $42,056, or approximately 9
percent, to $515,615 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 from $473,559
for the similar period in 1994.  The





                                       9

increases were the result of the increases in operating expenses, management
fees and allocated administrative expenses from the General Partner and
depreciation and amortization expense exceeding the increases 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 expense decreased $52,815, or
approximately 8 percent, to $589,374 for the three months ended September 30,
1995, from $642,189 for the three months ended September 30, 1994.  This
decrease was due to the increases in operating expenses and management fees and
allocated administrative costs from the General Partner exceeding the increase
in revenues.  Operating income before depreciation and amortization expense
increased $44,348, or approximately 2 percent to $1,870,335 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1995 from $1,825,987 for the similar 1994 period.
This increase was due to the increases in revenues exceeding the increases in
operating expenses and management fees and allocated administrative expenses
from the General Partner.

         Interest expense increased $32,395, or approximately 17 percent, to
$224,025 for the three month period ended September 30, 1995 from $191,630 for
the three month period ended September 30, 1994.  Interest expense increased
$117,011, or approximately 21 percent, to $554,437 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1995 from $671,448 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1994.  This increase was primarily the result of higher effective
interest rates on interest bearing obligations.

         Net loss increased $113,244, or approximately 36 percent to $427,979
for the three month period ended September 30, 1995 from $314,735 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1994.  Net loss increased $152,565, or
approximately 15 percent to $1,190,664 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1995 from $1,038,099 for the nine month period ended September
30, 1994.  These losses were the result of the factors discussed above and are
expected to continue in the future.
