Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1993

Item 1. Regulation and Legislation. Generally, the franchising authority can decide not to renew a franchise only if it finds that the cable operator has not substantially complied with the material terms of the franchise, has not provided reasonable service in light of the community's needs, does not have the financial, legal and 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. The General Partner and its affiliates recently have experienced lengthy negotiations with some franchising authorities for the granting of franchise renewals and transfers. Some of the issues involved in recent renewal negotiations include rate reregulation, customer service standards, cable plant upgrade or replacement and shorter terms of franchise agreements. The inability of a Partnership to renew a franchise, or lengthy negotiations or litigation involving the renewal process could have an adverse impact on the business of a Partnership. The inability of a Partnership to transfer a franchise could have an adverse impact on the ability of a Partnership to accomplish its investment objectives.
COMPETITION. The Systems face competition from a variety of alternative entertainment media, such as: Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service ("MMDS"), which is often called a "wireless cable service" and is a microwave service authorized to transmit television signals and other communications on a complement of channels, which when combined with instructional fixed television and other channels, is able to provide a complement of television signals potentially competitive with cable television systems; Satellite Master Antenna Television System ("SMATV"), commonly called a "private" cable television system, which is a system wherein one central antenna is used to receive signals and deliver them to, for example, an apartment complex; and Television Receive-Only Earth Stations ("TVRO"), which are satellite receiving antenna dishes that are used by "backyard users" to receive satellite delivered programming directly in their homes. Programming services sell their programming directly to owners of TVROs as well as through third parties. The competition from MMDS and TVRO potentially diminishes the pool of subscribers to the Systems because persons who subscribe to MMDS services or who own backyard satellite dishes are not likely to subscribe to all of the Systems' cable television services.
In the near future, the Systems will also face competition from direct satellite to home transmission ("DBS"). DBS can provide to individuals on a wide-scale basis premium channel services and specialized programming through the use of high-powered DBS satellites that transmit such programming to a rooftop or side-mounted antenna. There are currently no DBS operators in the areas served by the Systems. DBS systems' ability to compete with the cable television industry will depend on, among other factors, the ability to obtain access to
programming and the availability of reception equipment at reasonable prices. The first DBS satellite was recently launched, and it is anticipated that DBS services will become available throughout the United States during 1994.
The Systems also face competition from video cassette rental outlets and movie theaters in the Systems' service areas. The General Partner believes the preponderance of video cassette recorder ("VCR") ownership in the Systems' service areas may be a positive rather than a negative factor because households that have VCRs are attracted to non-commercial programming delivered by the Systems, such as movies and sporting events on cable television, that they can tape at their convenience.
Cable television franchises are not exclusive, so that more than one cable television system may be built in the same area (known as an "overbuild"), with potential loss of revenues to the operator of the original cable television system. Other than as described below, the Systems currently face no direct competition from other cable television operators.
Although the Partnerships have not yet encountered competition from a telephone company entering into the cable television business, the Partnerships' Systems could potentially face competition from telephone companies doing so. Bell Atlantic, a regional Bell operating company ("RBOC"), has announced its intention, if permitted by the courts, to build a cable television system in Alexandria, Virginia, and has won a lawsuit to obtain such authority. The case is on appeal. The General Partner currently owns and manages the cable television system in Alexandria, Virginia. Another RBOC, Ameritech, has also indicated its intention to build and operate a cable television system in Naperville, Illinois, a location where the General Partner manages a system on behalf of one of its managed limited partnerships. Other RBOCs have indicated their intention to enter the cable television market, and have filed lawsuits similar to the one being pursued by Bell Atlantic and Ameritech. Widespread competition through overbuilds by RBOCs could have a negative impact on companies like the General Partner that are already established cable television system operators.
COMPETITION FOR SUBSCRIBERS IN THE PARTNERSHIPS' SYSTEMS. Following is a summary of competition from MMDS, SMATV and TVRO operators in the Partnerships' franchise areas.
Albuquerque System Two SMATV operators serve approximately 3,190 units in trailer parks and apartments.
Augusta System Two SMATV operators serve two apartment complexes; one TVRO dealer principally operates in areas which are not serviced by cable.
Ft. Myers System One MMDS operator provides negligible competition; five SMATV operators provide service to motels and an occasional apartment complex; and twelve TVRO dealers serve a customer base that is confined primarily to rural areas.
Northern Illinois System The General Partner is not aware of any MMDS or TVRO satellite dish dealers in the system's service area. There are a limited number of SMATV operators in the system's service area, but they do not provide significant competition.
Palmdale/Lancaster System No MMDS operators; numerous SMATV operators provide some competition in several apartment complexes, hotels, motels, trailer parks and two hospitals. There are numerous TVRO dealers in the service area. Approximately 2% of the homes in the service area have TVRO systems.
Tampa System One MMDS operator provides minimal competition; ten SMATV operators provide moderate competition; thirty TVRO dealers provide minimal competition.
REGULATION AND LEGISLATION. The cable television industry is regulated through a combination of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), some state governments, and most local governments. In addition, the Copyright Act of 1976 imposes copyright liability on all cable television systems. Cable television operations are subject to local regulation insofar as systems operate under franchises granted by local authorities.
Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. On October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act"), which became effective on December 4, 1992. This legislation effected significant changes to the regulatory environment in which the cable television industry operates. The 1992 Cable Act generally allows for 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, are subject to rate regulation of basic cable services. In addition, the 1992 Cable Act allows 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 and ordered an interim freeze on these rates effective on April 15, 1993. The rate freeze recently was extended by the FCC until the earlier of May 15, 1994, or the date on which a cable system's basic service rate is regulated by a franchising authority. The FCC's
rate regulations became effective on September 1, 1993. On February 22, 1994, the FCC announced a revision of its rate regulations which it believes will generally result in a further reduction of rates for basic and non-basic services.
The 1992 Cable Act encourages competition with existing cable systems by allowing municipalities, which are otherwise legally qualified, to own and operate their own cable systems without having to obtain a franchise; prevents franchising authorities from granting exclusive franchises; or unreasonably refusing to award additional franchises covering an existing cable system's service area. The 1992 Cable Act also makes several procedural changes to the process under which a cable operator seeks to enforce renewal rights which could make it easier in some cases for a franchising authority to deny renewal. The 1992 Cable Act prohibits the common ownership of cable systems and co-located MMDS or SMATV systems, and absent certain exceptions, the sale or transfer of ownership of a cable system within 36 months after its acquisition or initial construction. The 1992 Cable Act also precludes video programmers affiliated with cable companies from favoring cable operators over competitors and requires such programmers to sell their programs to other multichannel video distributors. This provision may limit the ability of cable program suppliers to offer exclusive programming arrangements with cable companies and could affect the volume discounts that program suppliers currently offer to the General Partner in its capacity as a multiple system operator. The 1992 Cable Act has eliminated the latitude of operators to set rates for commercially leased access channels and requires that leased access rates be set according to a formula determined by the FCC.
The 1992 Cable Act contains new broadcast signal carriage requirements, and the FCC has adopted regulations implementing the statutory requirements. These new rules allow a local commercial broadcast television station to elect whether to demand that a cable television system carry its signal, or to require the cable television system to negotiate with the station for "retransmission consent." A cable television system is generally required to devote up to one-third of its activated channel capacity for the mandatory carriage of local commercial broadcast television stations, and non-commercial television stations are also given mandatory carriage rights, although such stations are not given the option to negotiate retransmission consent for the carriage of their signals by cable television systems. Additionally, cable television systems also are required to obtain retransmission consent from all "distant" commercial television stations (except for commercial satellite-delivered independent "superstations"), commercial radio stations and certain low-power television stations carried by cable television systems. See Item 1. Cable Television Services.
There have been several lawsuits filed by cable television operators and programmers in Federal court challenging various aspects of the 1992 Cable Act, including provisions relating to mandatory broadcast signal carriage, retransmission consent, access to cable programming, rate regulation, commercial leased channels and public access channels. On April 8, 1993, a three-judge Federal district court panel issued a decision upholding the constitutional validity of the mandatory signal carriage requirements of the 1992 Cable Act. That decision has been appealed directly to the United States Supreme Court. Appeals have
been filed in the Federal appellate court challenging the validity of the FCC's retransmission consent rules.
Ownership and Market Structure. The FCC rules and federal law generally prohibit the direct or indirect common ownership, operation, control or interest in a cable television system, on the one hand, and a local television broadcast station whose television signal reaches any portion of the community served by the cable television system, on the other hand. The FCC recently lifted its ban on the cross-ownership of cable television systems by broadcast networks. The FCC revised its regulations to permit broadcast networks to acquire cable television systems serving up to 10% of the homes passed in the nation, and up to 50% of the homes passed in a local market. Neither the Partnerships nor the General Partner has any direct or indirect ownership, operation, control or interest in a television broadcast station, or a telephone company, and they are thus presently unaffected by the cross-ownership rules.
The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act") and FCC regulations generally prohibit the common operation of a cable television system and a telephone company within the same service area. Until recently, a provision of a Federal court antitrust consent decree also prohibited the regional Bell operating companies ("RBOCs") from engaging in cable television operations. This prohibition was recently removed when the court retaining jurisdiction over the consent decree ruled that the RBOCs could provide information services over their facilities. This decision permits the RBOCs to acquire or construct cable television systems outside of their own service areas.
The 1984 Cable Act prohibited local exchange carriers, including the RBOCs, from providing video programming directly to subscribers within their local exchange telephone service areas, except in rural areas or by specific waiver of FCC rules. This statutory provision has recently been challenged on constitutional grounds by Bell Atlantic, one of the RBOCs. The court held that the 1984 Cable Act cross-ownership provision is unconstitutional, and it issued an order enjoining the United States Justice Department from enforcing the cross-ownership ban. The National Cable Television Association, an industry group of which the General Partner is a member, has appealed this landmark decision, and the case could ultimately be reviewed by the United States Supreme Court. This federal cross-ownership rule is particularly important to the cable industry since these telephone companies already own certain facilities needed for cable television operation, such as poles, ducts and associated rights-of-way.
The FCC has conducted a comprehensive proceeding examining whether and under what circumstances telephone companies should be allowed to provide cable television services, including video programming, to their customers. The FCC has concluded that under the 1984 Cable Act interexchange carriers (such as AT&T, which provide long distance services) are not subject to the restrictions which bar the provision of cable television service by local exchange carriers. In addition, the FCC concluded that neither a local exchange carrier providing a video dialtone service nor its programming suppliers leasing the dialtone service are required to obtain a cable television franchise. This determination has been appealed. If video dialtone services become widespread in the future, cable television systems
could be placed at a competitive disadvantage because cable television systems are required to obtain local franchises to provide cable television service and must comply with a variety of obligations under such franchises.
The FCC has tentatively concluded that construction and operation of technologically advanced, integrated broadband networks by carriers for the purpose of providing video programming and other services would constitute good cause for waiver of the cable/telephone cross-ownership prohibitions. In July 1989, the FCC granted a California telephone company a waiver of the cross- ownership restrictions based on a showing of "good cause," but the FCC's decision was reversed on appeal, and as a result of this decision, the FCC may be required to follow a stricter policy in granting such waivers in the future.
As part of the same proceeding, the FCC recommended that Congress amend the 1984 Cable Act to allow Local Exchange Carriers ("LECs") to provide their own video programming services over their facilities. The FCC recently decided to loosen ownership and affiliation restrictions currently applicable to telephone companies, and has proposed to increase the numerical limit on the population of areas qualifying as "rural" and in which LECs can provide cable service without a FCC waiver.
Legislation is pending in Congress which would permit the LECs to provide cable television service within their own operating areas conditioned on establishing separate video programming affiliates. The legislation would generally prohibit, however, telephone companies from acquiring cable systems within their own operating areas. The legislation would also enable cable television companies and others, subject to regulatory safeguards, to offer telephone services by eliminating state and local barriers to entry.
ITEM 2.



ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The cable television systems owned at December 31, 1993 by the Partnerships are described below.
The following tables set forth (i) the monthly basic plus service rates charged to subscribers, (ii) the number of basic subscribers and pay units, (iii) the number of homes passed by cable plant, (iv) the miles of cable plant and (v) the range of franchise expiration dates for the cable television systems owned and operated by the Partnerships. The monthly basic plus service rates set forth herein represent, with respect to systems with multiple headends, the basic plus service rate charged to the majority of the subscribers within the system. While the charge for basic plus service may have increased in some cases as a result of the FCC's rate regulations, overall revenues to the Partnerships may have decreased due to the elimination of charges for additional outlets and certain equipment. 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. Figures for numbers of subscribers, miles of cable plant and homes passed are compiled from the General Partner's records and may be subject to adjustments.
As of December 31, 1993, the number of homes passed and the miles of cable plant were 21,869 and 300, respectively. Franchise expiration dates range from March 1996 to June 2001.
As of December 31, 1993, the number of homes passed and the miles of cable plant were 16,751 and 262, respectively. Franchise expiration date is August 1994. The renewal of this franchise is currently being negotiated.
As of December 31, 1993, the number of homes passed and the miles of cable plant were 9,182 and 81, respectively. Franchise expiration date is November 1995.
As of December 31, 1993, the number of homes passed and the miles of cable plant were 64,507 and 664, respectively. Franchise expiration dates range from December 1999 to January 2002.
As of December 31, 1993, the number of homes passed and the miles of cable plant were 100,100 and 1,602, respectively. Franchise expiration dates range from December 1998 to October 2003.
As of December 31, 1993, the number of homes passed and the miles of cable plant were 85,768 and 937, respectively. Franchise expiration dates range from September 1994 to October 2005. Any franchises expiring in 1994 are in the process of franchise renewal negotiations.
As of December 31, 1993, the number of homes passed and the miles of cable plant were 200,500 and 2,202, respectively. Franchise expiration dates range from January 1999 to August 2001.
As of December 31, 1993, the number of homes passed and the miles of cable plant were 127,800 and 1,093, respectively. The Tampa franchise expires in December 1997. The City of Tampa has notified the Venture of its belief that the Venture is not in compliance with certain provisions of the franchise agreement. Specifically, the City has claimed that the Venture is not in compliance with local origination programming requirements, institutional network requirements, and other facilities, equipment and service obligations under the franchise. The Venture has responded to the claim with a detailed demonstration that many of the City's claims are erroneous and that the remaining unmet obligations should be modified. The City of Tampa and the Venture have reached an agreement in principle with respect to the settlement of the franchise dispute. A definitive settlement agreement is in the process of being negotiated.
PROGRAMMING SERVICES
Programming services provided by the Systems include local affiliates of the national broadcast networks, local independent broadcast channels, the traditional satellite services (e.g., American Movie Classics (AMC), Arts & Entertainment (ARTS), Black Entertainment Network (BET), C-SPAN, The Discovery Channel (DISC), Lifetime (LIFE), Entertainment Sports Network (ESPN), Home Shopping Network (HSN), Mind Extension University (MEU), Music Television (MTV), Nickelodeon (NICK), Turner Network Television (TNT), The Nashville Network (TNN), Video Hits One (VH-1), and superstations WOR, WGN and
TBS. The Partnerships' Systems also provide a selection, which varies by system, of premium channel programming (e.g., Bravo (BRVO), Cinemax (CMAX), The Disney Channel (DISN), Encore (ENC), Home Box Office (HBO), Showtime (SHOW) and The Movie Channel (TMC)).
ITEM 3.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On July 15, 1992, the General Partner received a Civil Investigative Demand (the "CID") from the Department of Justice ("DOJ") in connection with an investigation to determine whether there is or has been a violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act as a consequence of the General Partner's alleged refusal to carry a television broadcast station on cable television systems. The interrogatories and document requests included in the CID request information relating to systems owned or managed by the General Partner in Los Angeles County, and elsewhere, including the Palmdale/Lancaster System owned by the Venture. Specific reference is made in the CID to KHIZ, Channel 64. The General Partner has responded to a variety of requests for information and documents from the DOJ but has had no communication from the DOJ since March 1992.

Item 7.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
CABLE TV FUND 12-D
Results of Operations
All of Cable TV Fund 12-D's ("Fund 12-D's") operations are represented by its approximate 76 percent interest in Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the " Venture"). Thus, Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Venture should be consulted for pertinent comments regarding Partnership performance.
Financial Condition
Fund 12-D's investment in the Venture has decreased by $8,751,100 when compared to the December 31, 1992 balance representing a deficit of $4,072,166. This deficit is due to Fund 12-D's share of Venture losses, which are principally the result of deprecation and amortization charges being greater than equity invested. These losses are expected to be recovered upon liquidation of the Venture.
CABLE TV FUND 12-BCD VENTURE
Results of Operations
1993 Compared to 1992
Revenues of Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture") increased $5,564,003, or approximately 7 percent, from $83,567,527 in 1992 to $89,131,530 in 1993. Between December 31, 1992 and 1993, the Venture added 7,498 basic subscribers, an increase of approximately 4 percent. This increase in basic subscribers accounted for approximately 32 percent of the increase in revenues. Basic service rate adjustments were responsible for approximately 38 percent of the increase in revenues. Advertising sales revenue accounted for approximately 12 percent of the increase in revenues. Increases in pay per view revenue accounted for approximately 14 percent of the increase. The increase in revenues would have been greater but for the reduction in basic rates due to new basic rate regulation issued by the FCC in May 1993 with which the Venture complied effective September 1, 1993. In addition, on February 22, 1994, the FCC announced a further rulemaking which, when implemented, could reduce rates further. No other single factor significantly affected the increase in revenues.
Operating, general and administrative expenses in the Venture's systems increased $3,941,804, or approximately 8 percent, from $48,132,180 in 1992 to $52,073,984 in 1993. Operating, general and administrative expense represented 58 percent of revenue in 1993 and in 1992. The increase in operating, general and administrative expense was due to increases in subscriber related costs, programming fees and marketing related costs. No other single factor significantly affected the increase in operating, general and administrative expenses. Management fees and allocated overhead from Jones Intercable, Inc. increased $746,870, or approximately 8 percent, from $9,758,490 in 1992 to $10,505,360 in 1993 due to the increase in revenues, upon which such fees and allocations are based, and an increase in allocated expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1,113,583, or approximately 4 percent, from $26,764,820 in 1992 to $25,651,237 in 1993. The decrease is due to the maturation of the Venture's asset base.
The Venture recorded operating income of $900,949 for 1993 compared to an operating loss of $1,087,963 for 1992. This change is the result of increases in revenue and the decreases in depreciation and amortization expenses exceeding the increases in operating, general and administrative expenses and management fees and allocated overhead from Jones Intercable Inc. Operating income before depreciation and amortization increased $875,329, or approximately 3 percent, from $25,676,857 in 1992 to $26,552,186 in 1993. This increase is due to the increase in revenues exceeding the increase in operating, general, and administrative expenses and administrative fees and allocated overhead from Jones Intercable, Inc.
Interest expense decreased $33,744, or less than 1 percent, from $12,022,874 in 1992 to $11,989,130 in 1993 due to lower interest rates on interest bearing obligations, which were offset, in part, by higher balances on such obligations. The Venture recorded other expense of $556,309 in 1993 compared to other expense of $2,708,833 in 1992. The 1992 expense primarily represented the Sunbelt litigation settlement as discussed in Note 6 of notes to financial statements of the Venture. The settlement was accrued by the Venture in 1992 and paid by the Venture in March 1993.
Net loss decreased $3,299,949, or approximately 22 percent, from $14,884,365 in 1992 to $11,584,416 in 1993 due to the factors discussed above. These losses are expected to continue in the future.
1992 Compared to 1991
Revenues of the Venture increased $5,518,022, or approximately 7 percent, from $78,049,505 in 1991 to $83,567,527 in 1992. Between December 31, 1991 and 1992, the Venture added 3,670 basic subscribers, an increase of approximately 2 percent. This increase in basic subscribers accounted for approximately 17 percent of the increase in revenues. Basic service rate adjustments were responsible for approximately 46 percent of the increase in revenues. Advertising sales revenue accounted for approximately 14 percent of the increase in revenues. Increases in equipment rental revenue accounted for approximately 13 percent of the increase. No other single factor significantly affected the increase in revenues.
Operating, general and administrative expenses in the Venture's systems increased $4,487,834, or approximately 10 percent, from $43,644,346 in 1991 to $48,132,180 in 1992. Operating, general and administrative expense represented 58 percent of revenue in 1992 compared to 56 percent in 1991. The increase in operating, general and administrative expense was due to increases in personnel related costs, programming fees and property taxes, which were partially offset by decreases in marketing related costs and copyright fees. No other single factor significantly affected the increase in operating, general and administrative expenses. Management fees and allocated overhead from Jones Intercable, Inc. increased $1,215,796, or approximately 14 percent, from $8,542,694 in 1991 to $9,758,490 in 1992 due to the increase in revenues, upon which such fees and allocations are based, and an increase in allocated expenses from Jones Intercable, Inc. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $4,028,233, or approximately 13 percent, from $30,793,053 in 1991 to $26,764,820 in 1992. The decrease is due to the maturation of the Venture's asset base.
Operating loss decreased $3,842,625, or approximately 78 percent, from $4,930,588 in 1991 to $1,087,963 in 1992 as a result of the increase in revenues and the decreases in depreciation and amortization exceeding the increases in operating, general and administrative expenses and management fees and allocated overhead from Jones Intercable, Inc.
Interest expense decreased $898,899, or approximately 7 percent, from $12,921,773 in 1991 to $12,022,874 in 1992 due primarily to lower interest rates on interest bearing obligations, despite higher balances on such obligations. The Venture recorded other expense of $2,708,833 in 1992 compared to other income of $23,761 in 1991. This increase was due to the Sunbelt litigation settlement as discussed above. This settlement was paid by the Venture in March 1993.
Net loss decreased $2,944,235, or approximately 17 percent, from $17,828,600 in 1991 to $14,884,365 in 1992 due primarily to the reductions in operating loss and interest expense which were offset, in part, by the litigation settlement discussed above. These losses are the result of the factors discussed above and are expected to continue in the future.
Financial Condition
Capital expenditures for the Venture totaled approximately $18,711,600 during 1993. Service drops to homes accounted for approximately 29 percent of the capital expenditures. Approximately 18 percent of these capital expenditures related to plant extensions in all of the Venture's systems. The completion of a rebuild of the Venture's Palmdale, California system accounted for approximately 17 percent of capital expenditures. Approximately 12 percent of capital expenditures was for fiber upgrades. The remaining expenditures related to various system enhancements. These capital expenditures were funded primarily from cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Venture's credit facility. Expected capital expenditures for 1994 are approximately $25,914,000. The upgrade of the Albuquerque, New Mexico system is expected to account for approximately 31 percent. Plant extensions in all of the Venture's systems are expected to account for approximately 15 percent. Service drops to homes are anticipated to account for approximately 23 percent. The remainder of the expenditures are for various system enhancements in all of the Venture's systems. Funding for these expenditures is expected to be provided by cash on hand, cash generated from operations and borrowings from the Venture's credit facility. Subject to the regulatory matters discussed below and assuming successful renegotiation of its credit facility, the Venture has sufficient sources of capital available in its ability to generate cash from operations and to borrow under its credit facility to meet its presently anticipated needs.
During the first quarter of 1992, the Venture renegotiated its debt arrangements, which increased the maximum amount of debt available to $183,000,000. Such new debt arrangements consist of $93,000,000 of Senior Notes placed with a group of institutional lenders and a renegotiated $90,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of commercial bank lenders. The Venture used the funds from the Senior Notes to repay approximately $88,000,000 of the $155,000,000 outstanding on its previous credit facility and to repay advances from Intercable. The Venture used borrowings under its new credit facility to repay the remaining balance on its previous credit facility.
The Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate of 8.64 percent and a final maturity date of March 31, 2000. The Senior Notes call for interest only payments for the first four years, with interest and accelerating amortization of principal payments for the next four years. Interest is payable semi-annually. The Senior Notes carry a "make-whole" premium, which is a prepayment penalty, if they are prepaid prior to maturity. The make-whole premium protects the lenders in the event that the funds are reinvested at a rate below 8.64 percent, and is calculated per the note agreement.
The Venture's current revolving credit facility has a maximum amount available of $90,000,000. As of December 31, 1993, $73,800,000 was outstanding under the Venture's revolving credit agreement, leaving the Venture with $16,200,000 of available borrowing capacity until March 31, 1994. The revolving credit period will expire on March 31, 1994, at which time the principal balance converts to a term loan payable in quarterly installments with a final maturity date of March 31, 2000. The General Partner is negotiating to to extend the revolving credit period for one year. Interest is at the Venture's option of LIBOR plus 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, the CD rate plus 1.375 percent to 1.875 percent or the Base Rate plus 0 percent to .50 percent. An annual commitment fee of .5 percent is required on the unused portion of the facility until it converts to a term loan.
Both lending facilities are equal in standing with the other, and both are equally secured by the assets of the Venture.
Regulation and Legislation
On October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act") which became effective on December 4, 1992. This legislation has effected significant changes to the regulatory environment in which the cable television industry operates. The 1992 Cable Act generally allows for 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, are subject to rate regulation of basic cable services. In addition, the 1992 Cable Act allows 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. These regulations, with which the Venture complied, became effective on September 1, 1993. See Item 1 for further discussion of the provisions of the 1992 Cable Act.
Based on Intercable's assessment of the FCC's rulemakings concerning rate regulation under the 1992 Cable Act, the Venture reduced the rates it charged for certain regulated services. On an annualized basis, such rate reductions will result in an estimated reduction in the Venture's revenue of approximately $4,500,000, or approximately 5 percent, and a decrease in operating income before depreciation and amortization of approximately $4,300,000, or approximately 10 percent. In addition, on February 22, 1994, the FCC announced a further rulemaking which, when implemented, could reduce rates further. Based on the foregoing, the General Partner believes that the new rate regulations will have a negative effect on the Venture's revenues and operating income before depreciation and amortization. The General Partner has undertaken actions to mitigate a portion of these reductions primarily through (a) new service offerings, (b) product re-marketing and re-packaging and (c)marketing efforts directed at non- subscribers. To the extent such reductions are not mitigated, the values of the Venture's cable television systems, which are calculated based on cash flow, could be adversely impacted.
The 1992 Cable Act contains new broadcast signal carriage requirements, and the FCC has adopted regulations implementing the statutory requirements. These new rules allow a local commercial broadcast television station to elect whether to demand that a cable system carry its signal or to require the cable system to negotiate with the station for "retransmission consent." Additionally, cable systems also are required to obtain retransmission consent from all "distant" commercial television stations (except for commercial satellite-delivered independent "superstations"), commercial radio stations and certain low-power television stations carried by cable systems. The retransmission consent rules went into effect on October 6, 1993. In the cable television system owned by the Venture, no broadcast stations withheld their consent to retransmission of their signal. Certain broadcast signals are being carried pursuant to extensions offered to the General Partner by broadcasters, including a one-year extension for carriage of the CBS station owned and operated by the CBS network in Chicago. The General Partner expects to conclude retransmission consent negotiations with those stations whose signals are being carried pursuant to extensions, without having to terminate the distribution of any of those signals. However, there can be no assurance that such will occur. If any broadcast station currently being carried pursuant to an extension is dropped, there could be a negative effect on the system if a significant number of subscribers were to disconnect their service.

INDEX
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of Cable TV Fund 12-D:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CABLE TV FUND 12-D (a Colorado limited partnership) and subsidiary as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the General Partner's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules 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 12-D as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in the index of financial statements are presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CABLE TV FUND 12-D (A Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS' INTERESTS
Formation and Business
Cable TV Fund 12-D ("Fund 12-D"), a Colorado limited partnership, was formed on February 5, 1986, under a public program sponsored by Jones Intercable, Inc. Fund 12-D was formed to acquire, construct, develop and operate cable television systems. Jones Intercable, Inc., is the "General Partner" and manager of Fund 12-D. The General Partner and its subsidiaries also own and operate cable television systems. In addition, the General Partner manages cable television systems for other limited partnerships for which it is general partner and, also, for affiliated entities.
Contributed Capital
The capitalization of Fund 12-D is set forth in the accompanying consolidated statements of partners' capital (deficit). No limited partner is obligated to make any additional contributions to partnership capital. The General Partner purchased its interest in Fund 12-D by contributing $1,000 to partnership capital.
All profits and losses of Fund 12-D are allocated 99 percent to the limited partners and 1 percent to the General Partner, except for income or gain from the sale or disposition of cable television properties, which will be allocated to the partners based upon the formula set forth in the Partnership Agreement, and interest income earned prior to the first acquisition by Fund 12-D of a cable television system, which was allocated 100 percent to the limited partners.
Formation of Joint Venture and Venture Acquisitions and Sales
On March 17, 1986, Funds 12-B, 12-C and 12-D formed Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture"). The Venture was formed for the purpose of acquiring certain cable television systems. The Venture owns and operates the cable television systems serving certain areas in and around Albuquerque, New Mexico; Palmdale, California; and Tampa, Florida.
On September 20, 1991, the Venture entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an unaffiliated party to sell the cable television system serving the area in and around California City, California for $2,620,000. Closing on this transaction occurred on April 1, 1992. The proceeds were used to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Venture's credit facility.
The Venture's acquisitions were accounted for as purchases with the individual purchase prices allocated to tangible and intangible assets based upon an independent appraisal. The method of allocation of purchase price was as follows: first, to the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired; second, to the value of subscriber lists; third, to franchise costs; and fourth, to cost in excess of interests in net assets purchased. Brokerage fees paid to an affiliate of the General Partner and other system acquisition costs were capitalized and included in the cost of intangible assets.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Records
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Fund 12-D's tax returns are also prepared on the accrual basis.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include 100 percent of the accounts of Fund 12-D and those of the Venture reduced by the approximate 24 percent minority interest in the Venture. All inter-partnership accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated service lives:
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 and cost in excess of interests in net assets purchased are amortized using the straight-line method over the following remaining estimated useful lives:
Revenue Recognition
Subscriber prepayments are initially deferred and recognized as revenue when earned.
(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES
Brokerage Fees
The Jones Group, Ltd., an affiliate of the General Partner, performs brokerage services for the Venture in connection with Venture acquisitions and sales. For brokering two acquisitions in the Tampa System for the Venture, The Jones Group, Ltd. was paid fees totaling $13,120, or 4 percent of the transaction prices, during 1992. Additionally,The Jones Group, Ltd. received $65,500, or 2 percent of the transaction price, during 1992 for brokering a sale in the Palmdale System. For brokering the acquisitions of two SMATV systems in the Tampa System for the Venture, The Jones Group, Ltd. was paid fees totaling $55,400, or 4 percent of the original purchase prices, during 1991. There were no brokerage fees paid during the year ended December 31, 1993.
Management Fees, Distribution Ratios and Reimbursement
The General Partner manages Fund 12-D and the Venture and receives a fee for its services equal to 5 percent of the gross revenues of the Venture, excluding revenues from the sale of cable television systems or franchises. Management fees paid to the General Partner by the Venture were $4,456,577, $4,178,376 and $3,902,475 during 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Any partnership 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 the General Partner. Any distributions other than interest income on limited partnership subscriptions earned prior to the acquisition of Fund 12-D's first cable television or from cash flow, such as from the sale or refinancing of a system or upon dissolution of the partnership, will be made as follows: first, to the limited partners in an amount which, together with all prior distributions, will equal the amount initially contributed by the limited partners; the balance, 75 percent to the limited partners and 25 percent to the General Partner.
The Venture reimburses the General Partner 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. 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 entity managed. Remaining overhead costs are allocated based on total revenues and/or assets managed for the partnership. Systems owned by the General Partner and all other systems owned by partnerships for which Jones Intercable, Inc. is the general partner are also allocated a proportionate share of these expenses. The General Partner believes that the methodology used in allocating overhead and administrative is reasonable. Overhead and administrative expenses allocated to the Venture by the General Partner were $6,048,783, $5,580,114 and $4,640,219 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
The Venture was charged interest during 1993 at an average interest rate of 10.61 percent on the amounts due the General Partner, which approximated the General Partner's weighted average cost of borrowing. Total interest charged the Venture by the General Partner was $15,477, $126,073 and $171,942 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Payments to Affiliates for Programming Services
The Venture receives programming from Superaudio and The Mind Extension University, affiliates of the General Partner. Payments to Superaudio totaled $134,179, $132,091 and $120,851 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Payments to The Mind Extension University totaled $79,002, $76,676, and $72,218 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
(4) DEBT
During the first quarter of 1992, the Venture renegotiated its debt arrangements, which increased the maximum amount of debt available to $183,000,000. The Venture's arrangements consist of $93,000,000 of Senior Notes placed with a group of institutional lenders and a $90,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of commercial bank lenders.
The Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate of 8.64 percent and a final maturity date of March 31, 2000. The Senior Notes call for interest only payments for the first four years, with interest and accelerating amortization of principal payments for the next four years. Interest is payable semi-annually. The Senior Notes carry a "make-whole" premium, which is a prepayment penalty, if they are prepaid prior to maturity. The make-whole premium protects the lenders in the event that the funds are reinvested at a rate below 8.64 percent, and is calculated per the note agreement.
The Venture's current revolving credit facility has a maximum amount available of $90,000,000. As of December 31, 1993, $73,800,000 was outstanding under the current revolving credit agreement, leaving the Venture with $16,200,000 of available borrowing capacity until March 31, 1994. The revolving credit period is scheduled to expire on March 31, 1994, at which time the principal balance will convert to a term loan payable in quarterly installments with a final maturity date of March 31, 2000. The General Partner is negotiating to extend the revolving credit period for one year. Interest is at the Venture's option of LIBOR plus 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, the CD rate plus 1.375 percent to 1.875 percent or the Base Rate plus 0 percent to .50 percent. An annual commitment fee of .5 percent is required on the unused portion of the facility. The effective interest rates on amounts outstanding on the Venture's revolving credit facility as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 were 5.08 percent and 5.29 percent, respectively.
Both lending facilities are equal in standing with the other, and both are equally secured by the assets of the Venture.
During 1992, the Venture incurred costs associated with renegotiating its debt arrangements. These fees were capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the debt agreements.
During 1988, the Venture entered into an interest rate cap agreement covering outstanding debt obligations of an additional $25,000,000. The Venture paid a fee of $957,500. The agreement protects the Venture from interest rates that exceed 10 percent for five years from the date of the agreement. The fee was charged to interest expense over the life of this agreement using the straight-line method.
Installments due on debt principal for each of the five years in the period ending December 31, 1998 and thereafter, respectively, are: $2,262,209, $4,697,609, $7,945,609, $30,201,870, $36,681,000 and $85,910,400, respectively.
(5) INCOME TAXES
Income taxes have not been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because they accrue directly to the partners. The Federal and state income tax returns of Fund 12-D are prepared and filed by the General Partner.
Fund 12-D'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 Fund 12-D's qualification as such, or in changes with respect to the Fund 12-D's recorded income or loss, the tax liability of the general and limited partners would likely be changed accordingly.
Taxable losses reported to the partners is different from that reported in the consolidated 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 losses reported in the consolidated statements of operations.
(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act") which became effective on December 4, 1992. The 1992 Cable Act generally allows for a greater degree of regulation in the cable television industry. In April 1993, the FCC adopted regulations governing rates for basic and non-basic services. These regulations became effective on September 1, 1993. Such regulations caused reductions in rates for certain regulated services. On February 22, 1994, the FCC announced a further rulemaking which, when implemented, could reduce rates further. The General Partner plans to mitigate a portion of these reductions primarily through (a) new service offerings, (b) product re-marketing and re-packaging and (c) marketing efforts directed at non-subscribers.
The 1992 Cable Act contains new broadcast signal carriage requirements, and the FCC has adopted regulations implementing the statutory requirements. These new rules allow a local commercial broadcast television station to elect whether to demand that a cable system carry its signal or to require the cable system to negotiate with the station for "retransmission consent." Additionally, cable systems also are required to obtain retransmission consent from all "distant" commercial television stations (except for commercial satellite-delivered independent "superstations"), commercial radio stations and certain low-power television stations carried by cable systems. The retransmission consent rules went into effect on October 6, 1993. In the cable television systems owned by the Venture, no broadcast stations withheld their consent to retransmission of their signal. Certain broadcast signals are being carried pursuant to extensions offered to the General Partner by broadcasters, including a one-year extension for carriage of the CBS station owned and operated by the CBS network in Chicago. The General Partner expects to conclude retransmission consent negotiations with those stations whose signals are being carried pursuant to extensions, without having to terminate the distribution of any of those signals. However, there can be no assurance that such will occur. If any broadcast station currently being carried pursuant to an extension is dropped, there could be a negative effect on the system if a significant number of subscribers were to disconnect their service.
In February 1993, the General Partner entered into a settlement agreement related to litigation brought by Sunbelt Television, Inc. against the Venture in the amount of $2,850,000. As of December 31, 1992, the Venture had accrued $2,850,000, which was reflected as an increase in other expense in the 1992 statement of operations. This settlement was paid by the Venture in March 1993.
Office and other facilities are rented under various long-term lease arrangements. Rent paid under such lease arrangements totaled $454,229, $450,295, $345,994, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991. Minimum commitments under operating leases for the five years in the period ending December 31, 1998 and thereafter are as follows:
1994 $ 504,514 1995 463,103 1996 457,600 1997 460,542 1998 463,879 Thereafter 1,927,432 ----------- $ 4,277,070 ===========

Management Fees and Reimbursements
Intercable manages the Venture and receives a fee for its services equal to 5 percent of the gross revenues of the Venture, excluding revenues from the sale of cable television systems or franchises.

The Venture reimburses Intercable 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.

The effective interest rates on amounts outstanding on the Venture's revolving credit facility as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 were 4.08 percent and 5.29 percent, respectively.
Both lending facilities are equal in standing with the other, and both are equally secured by the assets of the Venture.
During 1992, the Venture incurred costs associated with renegotiating its debt arrangements. These fees were capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the debt agreements.
During 1988, the Venture entered into an interest rate cap agreement covering outstanding debt obligations of an additional $25,000,000. The Venture paid a fee of $957,500. The agreement protects the Venture from interest rates that exceed 10 percent for five years from the date of the agreement. The fee was charged to interest expense over the life of this agreement using the straight-line method.
Installments due on debt principal for each of the five years in the period ending December 31, 1998 and thereafter, respectively, are: $2,262,209, $4,697,609, $7,945,609, $30,201,870, $36,681,000 and $85,910,400, respectively.
(5) INCOME TAXES
Income taxes have not been recorded in the accompanying financial statements because they accrue directly to the partners of Cable TV Funds 12-B, 12-C and 12-D.
The Venture's tax returns, the qualification of the Venture 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 Venture's qualification as such, or in changes with respect to the Venture's recorded loss, the tax liability of the Venture's general partners would likely be changed accordingly.
Taxable losses 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 losses reported in the statements of operations.
(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act") which became effective on December 4, 1992. The 1992 Cable Act generally allows for a greater degree of regulation in the cable television industry. In April 1993, the FCC adopted regulations governing rates for basic and non-basic services. These regulations became effective on September 1, 1993. Such regulations caused reductions in rates for certain regulated services. On February 22, 1994, the FCC announced a further rulemaking which, when implemented, could reduce rates further. The General Partner plans to mitigate a portion of these reductions primarily through (a) new service offerings, (b) product re-marketing and re- packaging and (c) marketing efforts directed at non-subscribers.
The 1992 Cable Act contains new broadcast signal carriage requirements, and the FCC has adopted regulations implementing the statutory requirements. These new rules allow a local commercial broadcast television station to elect whether to demand that a cable system carry its signal or to require the cable system to negotiate with the station for "retransmission consent." Additionally, cable systems also are required to obtain retransmission consent from all "distant" commercial television stations (except for commercial satellite-delivered independent "superstations"), commercial radio stations and certain low-power television stations carried by cable systems. The retransmission consent rules went into effect on October 6, 1993. In the cable television systems owned by the Venture, no broadcast stations withheld their consent to retransmission of their signal. Certain broadcast signals are being carried pursuant to extensions offered to the
General Partner by broadcasters, including a one-year extension for carriage of the CBS station owned and operated by the CBS network in Chicago. The General Partner expects to conclude retransmission consent negotiations with those stations whose signals are being carried pursuant to extensions, without having to terminate the distribution of any of those signals. However, there can be no assurance that such will occur. If any broadcast station currently being carried pursuant to an extension is dropped, there could be a negative effect on the system if a significant number of subscribers were to disconnect their service.
In February 1993, the General Partner entered into a settlement agreement related to litigation brought by Sunbelt Television, Inc. against the Venture in the amount of $2,850,000. As of December 31, 1992, the Venture had accrued $2,850,000, which was reflected as an increase in other expense in the 1992 statement of operations. The settlement was paid by the Venture in March 1993.
Offices and other facilities are rented under various long-term lease arrangements. Rent paid under such lease arrangements totaled $454,229, $450,295 and $345,994, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991. Minimum commitments under operating leases for the five years in the period ending December 31, 1998 and thereafter are as follows:

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The General Partner and its affiliates engage in certain transactions with the Partnerships as contemplated by the limited partnership agreements of the Partnerships and as disclosed in the prospectus for the Partnerships. The General Partner believes that the terms of such transactions, which are set forth in the Partnerships' limited partnership agreements, are generally as favorable as could be obtained by the Partnerships 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 Partnerships from unaffiliated parties.

These expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits paid to corporate personnel, rent, data processing services and other facilities costs. Such personnel provide engineering, marketing, administrative, accounting, legal and investor relations services to the Partnerships. Allocations of personnel costs are based primarily on actual time spent by employees of the General Partner with respect to each Partnership managed. Remaining overhead costs are allocated based on revenues and/or the cost of assets managed for the Partnerships. 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 from the Partnerships.
