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 Programming Partners 2-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and its results of operations and its cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. Results of operations for these periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. (2) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED ENTITIES ------------------------------------- The General Partner is entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership for its direct and indirect expenses allocable to the operations of the Partnership, which shall include, but not be limited to, rent, supplies, telephone, travel, legal expenses, accounting expenses, preparation and distribution of reports to investors and salaries of any full or part-time employees. Although the General Partner is entitled to reimbursement for all direct and indirect expenses allocable to the Partnership, the Partnership was charged $2,715 and $3,834 for direct expenses only for the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, $9,144 and $5,464, respectively, of direct expenses only were charged to the Partnership. (3) INVESTMENT IN AND ADVANCES FOR FILM PRODUCTION ---------------------------------------------- "Charlton Heston Presents: The Bible" ----------------------------------- In May 1992, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, entered into an agreement with Agamemnon Films, an unaffiliated party, to produce four one-hour programs for television, entitled "Charlton Heston Presents: The Bible" (the "Bible Programs"). The production costs of the Bible Programs were approximately $2,130,000. In addition, the Partnership paid a $240,000 production and overhead fee to the General Partner. In return for agreeing to fund these production costs, the Partnership acquired all rights to the Bible Programs in all markets and in all media in perpetuity. The Partnership subsequently assigned half of its ownership of the Bible Programs to an unaffiliated party for an investment of $1,000,000 toward the production costs for the Bible Programs. After consideration of the reimbursement, the Partnership's total investment in the Bible Programs was $1,369,764 and its net investment, after consideration of amortization, was $315,245 as of June 30, 1996. From inception to June 30, 1996, the Partnership has recognized $1,154,782 of gross revenue from this film, of which $461,349 has been retained by the distributors of the film for their fees and marketing costs. Of the remaining $693,433, the Partnership had received $663,522 as of June 30, 1996, and the remaining $29,911 was received in July 1996. "The Whipping Boy" ---------------- In August 1993, the Partnership acquired the rights to the Newbury Award- winning book "The Whipping Boy." "The Whipping Boy" was produced as a two- hour telefilm which premiered in the North American television market on The Disney Channel. The film's final cost was approximately $4,100,000. As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership had invested $2,661,487 in the film, which included a $468,000 production and overhead fee paid to the General Partner. The film was co-produced by the General Partner and Gemini Films, a German company. The completed picture was delivered to The Disney Channel in the second quarter of 1994. The Partnership's net investment in the film, after consideration of amortization, was $974,213 as of June 30, 1996. From inception to June 30, 1996, the Partnership has recognized $2,213,190 of gross revenue from this film, of which $2,100,000 represents the initial license fee from The Disney Channel that was used to finance the film's production. Of the remaining $113,190, $6,969 has been retained by the distributors of the film for their fees and marketing costs 6 and $21,606 had been received by the Partnership as of June 30, 1996. The remaining $84,615 was received in July 1996. 7 JONES PROGRAMMING PARTNERS 2-A, LTD. ------------------------------------ (A Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF --------------------------------------- FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL CONDITION ------------------- Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Partnership's principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, amounts to be received from the General Partner in payment of the promissory note discussed below and amounts received from the domestic and international distribution of the Partnership's programming. As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership had $668,296 in cash. It is not anticipated that the Partnership will invest in any additional programming projects, but instead will focus on the distribution of its existing projects. The Partnership had outstanding amounts receivable totaling $114,526 as of June 30, 1996. These amounts were received by the Partnership in July 1996. On June 30, 1995, the Partnership sold its interest in the film "Household Saints" to the General Partner for $1,389,166. The purchase price was paid $500,000 in cash at closing, $500,000 in the form of a non-interest bearing promissory note which was paid in June 1996 and $389,166 in the form of a non- interest bearing promissory note payable in June 1997. The sale proceeds from "Household Saints" will contribute to the liquidity and capital resources of the Partnership, helping enable the Partnership to fund its operating needs and future distributions to the limited partners. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership declared distributions to partners totaling $283,562, of which $141,781 was paid in May 1996 with the remaining $141,781 to be paid in August 1996. These distributions will be made using cash on hand, proceeds from promissory note repayment, interest income and cash provided by operating activities. Distributions are expected to continue, although no determination has been made regarding any specific level of distributions. The General Partner believes that the Partnership has, and will continue to have, sufficient liquidity to fund its operations and to meet its obligations. Cash flow from operating activities will be generated primarily from the Partnership's programming projects as follows: "Charlton Heston Presents: The Bible" ------------------------------------ In 1992, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, entered into an agreement with Agamemnon Films, an unaffiliated party, to produce four one-hour programs for television, entitled "Charlton Heston Presents: The Bible" (the "Bible Programs") for Arts and Entertainment Network ("A&E"). The production costs of the Bible Programs were approximately $2,370,000, which included a $240,000 production and overhead fee to the General Partner. In return for agreeing to fund these production costs, the Partnership acquired all rights to the Bible Programs in all markets and in all media in perpetuity. In order to reduce the Partnership's financial exposure, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, assigned one-half of the Partnership's interest in the Bible Programs to GoodTimes Home Video Corporation ("GoodTimes"), an unaffiliated entity directly involved in the specialty home video and international television distribution business, for an investment by GoodTimes of $1,000,000. The Partnership and GoodTimes funded Jones Documentary Film Corporation ("JDFC"), which in turn contracted with Agamemnon Films for the production of the Bible Programs. JDFC was formed to insulate the Partnership and GoodTimes from certain risks and potential liabilities associated with the production of programming in foreign countries because the Bible Programs were filmed on location in the Holy Lands. The Partnership and JDFC granted the General Partner the exclusive rights to distribute the Bible Programs. To accomplish this, the General Partner, on its own behalf, and GoodTimes entered into an agreement to form J/G Distribution Company to distribute the Bible Programs. J/G Distribution Company was formed in June 1992 and the Partnership granted it the sole and exclusive right to exhibit and distribute, and to license others to exhibit and distribute, the Bible Programs in all markets, all languages, and all media in perpetuity. J/G Distribution Company holds the 8 copyright for the benefit of the Partnership (50 percent interest) and GoodTimes (50 percent interest). J/G Distribution Company is currently distributing the Bible Programs in the retail home video market. As of June 30, 1996, gross sales made by J/G Distribution Company totaled $1,809,396, of which $904,698 has been retained by J/G Distribution Company for its fees and marketing costs, with the remaining $904,698 belonging 50 percent to the Partnership and 50 percent to GoodTimes. Additionally, $250,000 was received directly by the Partnership as its share of the initial license fee from A&E. As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership had received $422,438 from J/G Distribution and $250,000 from A&E. The remaining $29,911 due from J/G Distribution was received in July 1996. In 1994, J/G Distribution Company, an affiliate of the General Partner, and Jones Interactive, Inc. ("JII"), also an affiliate of the General Partner, entered into an agreement to produce a CD-ROM version of the Bible Programs. No Partnership funds have been or will be utilized in the production of the CD-ROM version; however, after production costs, distribution fees and costs associated with distribution are recovered, five percent of net revenues (as defined in the agreement) will flow to the Partnership. Revenue proceeds to be received by the Partnership under this agreement, if any, are not anticipated to be significant. The production was done on two separate discs, one for the New Testament, which was completed in the third quarter of 1995, and a second disc for the Old Testament, which was completed in the first quarter of 1996. Distribution of the CD-ROM version will be done in the United States and Canada by affiliates of J/G Distribution Company. The Partnership plans to recover its remaining net investment in the Bible Programs of $315,245 from net revenues generated from domestic and international home video markets. "The Whipping Boy" ---------------- In August 1993, the Partnership acquired the rights to the Newbury Award-winning book "The Whipping Boy." The project was co-developed by the Partnership and The Disney Channel and produced by the General Partner and German and French co- production partners. The completed telefilm was delivered to The Disney Channel in the second quarter of 1994 and premiered in the North American television market in July 1994. As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership had invested $2,661,487 in the film, which included a $468,000 production and overhead fee payable to the General Partner. The Partnership has received approximately $2,100,000 from The Disney Channel for licensing certain rights to the film to The Disney Channel. The Partnership was responsible for approximately one-half of the $4,100,000 production cost, with the balance of the production budget funded by Gemini Films and other co-production partners and/or territorial advances from the film's international distributors. The amount contributed to the production budget by the Partnership was partially reimbursed by the license advances totaling $2,100,000 received from the Disney Channel. Gemini Films will have, in perpetuity, the copyright and all exploitation rights to the film in German language territories (defined as Germany, Austria, German- speaking Switzerland and German-speaking Luxembourg). Although these exploitation rights will remain the sole property of Gemini Films, Gemini Films will account to the Partnership for any revenue therefrom. The Partnership will own the worldwide copyright, excluding German language territories, in perpetuity. Although the Partnership will own all exploitation rights in all media in North America, which is defined as the United States, Canada and their respective territories and possessions, the Partnership will account to Gemini Films for any revenue generated therefrom. From the movie's North American revenues, the Partnership will first be entitled to recover its investment plus interest. Thereafter, the Partnership will receive 90 percent of all North American revenues and Gemini Films will receive 10 percent of such revenues. With respect to international revenues from the movie's distribution, after Gemini Films recovers $250,000 of its investment in the movie's production budget, any funded overages and interest out of net international revenues, the Partnership will receive 20 percent of net international revenues and Gemini Films will receive 80 percent. In March 1995, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated party granting rights to distribute "The Whipping Boy" in the non-theatrical domestic markets. Non-theatrical markets include 16mm sales and rentals, in-flight, oil rigs, ships at sea, military installations, libraries, restaurants, hotels, motels or other 9 institutional or commercial enterprises. As of June 30, 1996, gross sales made under this agreement totaled $27,876, of which $6,969 was retained by the distributor for its fees and the remaining $20,907 was remitted to the Partnership. In May 1995, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, entered into a distribution agreement with an unaffiliated party granting rights to distribute "The Whipping Boy" in the domestic home video market for a period not to exceed five years. As of June 30, 1996, net sale proceeds made under this agreement totaled $84,615 and were remitted to the Partnership in July 1996. The General Partner and Gemini Films have selected Canal Plus Distribution as the company that will distribute and exploit the movie outside of North America. Canal Plus Distribution will earn distribution fees of 15 percent of the film's gross receipts outside of North America, and it will be reimbursed for its expenses capped at 10 percent of the film's gross receipts outside of North America (excluding dubbing costs). Canal Plus Distribution will be responsible for accounting and remitting to Gemini Films the net revenues from the film's distribution in all markets and in all media outside of North America. Gemini Films will be responsible for forwarding the Partnership's share of such revenues within 10 days of receipt of such funds from Canal Plus. The Partnership plans to recover its remaining net investment in this film of $974,213 primarily from net revenues generated from domestic home video and television distribution. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- Revenues of the Partnership increased $59,683, from $101,398 for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 to $161,081 for the similar period in 1996 and increased $58,533, from $102,548 for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 to $161,081 for the similar period in 1996. These increases were primarily the result of increased domestic home video and non-theatrical sales of "The Whipping Boy" during 1996, which totaled $101,259 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $699 for the same period in 1995. This increase in sales of "The Whipping Boy" was partially offset by decreased sales of "Charlton Heston Presents: The Bible" (the "Bible Programs"), which totaled $59,822 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $101,849 for the same period in 1995. Filmed entertainment costs increased $39,140, from $92,488 for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 to $131,628 for the similar period in 1996 and increased $38,090, from $93,538 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $131,628 for the similar period in 1996. These increases were mainly due to increased revenues from "The Whipping Boy" as discussed above. Filmed entertainment costs are amortized over the life of each film in the ratio that current gross revenues bear to anticipated total gross revenues. Distribution fees and expenses decreased $16,278, from $50,350 for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 to $34,072 for the similar period in 1996. For the six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, distribution fees and expenses decreased $16,853, from $50,925 in 1995 to $34,072 in 1996. These decreases were the result of decreased home video sales of the "Bible Programs" under the Partnership's distribution agreement with J/G Distribution Company. Distribution fees and expenses relate to the compensation due and costs incurred by unaffiliated parties in selling the Partnership's programming in the domestic and international markets. The timing and amount of distribution fees and expenses vary depending upon the individual market in which programming is distributed. Loss on sale of film production decreased from $122,860 to $-0- for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1996. This decrease was the result of the sale of "Household Saints" to the General Partner on June 30, 1995. The loss resulted from the Partnership's recognition of imputed interest on two non-interest bearing promissory notes received from the General Partner as part of the sale agreement. Operating, general and administrative expenses decreased $2,383 and $1,388, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the similar period in 1995. These decreases were primarily due to decreases in direct costs allocable to the operations of the Partnership that were charged to the Partnership by the General Partner during the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 1995 and in taxes and fees paid by the Partnership during the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 in comparison to 1995. Interest income increased $24,081, from $1,644 for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 to $25,725 for the similar period in 1996 and increased $48,153, from $3,847 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $52,000 for the similar period in 1996. These increases in interest income were primarily the result of $45,551 in interest income recognized 10 during 1996 relating to the amortization of the discount on the two promissory notes received from the General Partner as part of the June 1995 sale of the film "Household Saints." 11 Part II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
