The Partnership has continued in existence because of pending litigation in which the Partnership is a party. It cannot be predicted when the Partnership will be dissolved. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- The Partnership has sold all of its cable television systems. Interest income of $10,794 was earned during the first six months of 2001 on the cash balance on hand. Other expense of $104,902 incurred in the first six months of 2001 related to various costs associated with the administration of the Partnership. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Partnership is a nominal defendant in several cases consolidated under the caption City Partnership Co., derivatively on behalf of Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd., plaintiff v. Jones Intercable, Inc., defendant and Cable TV Fund 14-B, Ltd., nominal defendant (U.S. District Court, District of Colorado, Civil Action No. 99-WM-1051)(consolidated with 99-WM-1155, 99-WM-1702, 99-B-1508, 99-B-1604, 99-B-1751 and 99-B-1778). The plaintiffs in these cases are challenging the terms of, and the procedures of the limited partner votes approving, Jones Intercable's acquisitions of the cable television systems serving Albuquerque, New Mexico, Calvert County, Maryland and Palmdale and Littlerock, California formerly owned by the Partnership and/or other partnerships of which Jones Intercable was the general partner. Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. is the Partnership's current general partner as successor to Jones Intercable. The cases are presented as both class and derivative actions. In June 2001, the plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification. In August 2001, defendant Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. filed a brief in opposition to plaintiffs' motion for class certification. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for September 2001. If the plaintiffs' motion for class certification is denied, the cases would proceed only as derivative actions. The Partnership together with Jones Intercable and certain of Jones Intercable's other managed partnerships are defendants in a case captioned Everest Cable Investors, LLC, et al., plaintiffs v. Jones Intercable, Inc., et al., defendants (Superior Court, Los Angeles County, State of California, Case No. BC 213632) originally filed in July 1999. The plaintiffs filed their first amended complaint in January 2000. In that complaint the plaintiffs allege that certain of them formed a venture to acquire limited partnership interests in the partnerships and that plaintiffs were frustrated in this purpose by Jones Intercable's alleged refusal to provide plaintiffs with lists of the names and addresses of the limited partners of the partnerships. Plaintiffs further allege that their failure to obtain the partnership lists prevented them from making tender offers for the partnerships' limited partnership interests causing them economic loss. In March 2000 the defendants demurred to the plaintiffs' first amended complaint and in May 2000 the trial court sustained the defendants' demurrers without leave to amend as to all but the one plaintiff that was a limited partner of any of the partnerships. The plaintiffs appealed this ruling to the California State Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District. In June 2001, the appellate court ruled that all of the plaintiffs have standing to bring the action and the trial court's judgment was reversed. The case will now proceed to discovery and trial.
