   (c)   Narrative Description of Business

   (c)(1)(i)  A marine cargo container is a reusable metal container designed
for the efficient carriage of cargo with a minimum of exposure to loss from
damage or theft.  Containers are manufactured to conform to worldwide standards
of container dimensions and container ship fittings adopted by the
International Standards Organization ("ISO") in 1968.  The standard container
is either 20' long x 8' wide x 8'6" high (one twenty-foot equivalent unit
("TEU"), the standard unit of physical measurement in the container industry)
or 40' long x 8' wide x 8'6" high (two TEU).  Standardization of the
construction, maintenance and handling of containers allows containers to be
picked up, dropped off, stored and repaired effectively throughout the world.
This standardization is the foundation on which the container industry has
developed.

   Standard dry cargo containers are rectangular boxes with no moving parts,
other than doors, and are typically made of steel.  They are constructed to
carry a wide variety of cargos ranging from heavy industrial raw materials to
light-weight finished goods.  Specialized containers include, among others,
refrigerated containers for the transport of temperature-sensitive goods and
tank containers for the carriage of liquid cargo.  Dry cargo containers
constitute approximately 85% of the worldwide container fleet.  Refrigerated
and tank containers constitute approximately 7% of the worldwide container
fleet, with open-tops and other specialized containers constituting the
remainder.

   One of the primary benefits of containerization has been the ability of the
shipping industry to effectively lower freight rates due to the efficiencies
created by standardized intermodal containers.  Containers can be handled much
more efficiently than loose cargo and are typically shipped via several modes
of transportation, including truck, railway and ship.  Containers require
loading and unloading only once and remain sealed until arrival at the final
destination, significantly reducing transport time, labor and handling costs
and losses due to damage and theft.  Efficient movement of containerized cargo
between ship and shore reduces the amount of time that a ship must spend in
port and reduces the transit time of freight moves.

   The logistical advantages and reduced freight rates brought about by
containerization have been a major catalyst for world trade growth during the
last twenty-five years, which in turn has generated increased demand for
containerization.  The world container fleet has grown from an estimated
270,000 TEU in 1969 to 9,198,000 TEU at the end of 1995, and according to
recent industry data, growth of containerized shipping since 1987 has generally
averaged two to three times that of average GDP growth in industrialized
countries.

                                       3
<PAGE>   4
   The Registrant believes that growth of containerization will continue to
outpace GDP growth and the growth in world trade over the next five years for
the following reasons:

   -  Lower freight rates resulting from containerization are generating new
      cargos that previously were not economical to export.  Containerization
      provides inexpensive, timely and secure transport to manufacturers
      allowing them to take advantage of regional opportunities in technology
      or labor, and to move products to different locations at various stages
      of production;

   -  Intermodal traffic is expected to continue to grow, and industrialized
      countries are continuing to improve intermodal infrastructure (i.e.,
      railways, roads and ports);

   -  Shippers continue to demand transportation of cargo by containers rather
      than break-bulk;

   -  Countries with rapidly-growing economies in emerging markets are
      continuing to build new container port facilities that accommodate an
      increased flow of containerized trade; and

   -  Recent trade agreements, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement
      ("NAFTA") and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ("GATT"), should
      further stimulate world trade, and, therefore containerized trade.

   The container leasing industry has been a significant contributor to the
growth of containerization, and, in 1995, had an approximately 47% share of the
total world container fleet with ocean carriers holding most of the remainder.
To an ocean carrier, the primary benefits of leasing rather than owning
containers are the following:

   -  Reduced Capital Expenditures.  Leasing is an attractive option to ocean
      carriers because ownership of containers requires significant capital
      expenditures.  Carriers constantly evaluate their investment strategy,
      with container purchasing competing directly with other expenditure
      requirements, such as ship purchases, ship conversions and terminal
      improvements.  Container leasing allows ocean carriers to invest capital
      in assets that are more central to their business.

   -  Improved Asset Management.  Trade flow imbalances and seasonal demands
      frequently leave ocean carriers with regional surpluses or shortages of
      containers, requiring costly repositioning of empty containers.  Leasing
      companies help ocean carriers manage these trade imbalances by providing
      the inventory to service demand, reducing the costs of maintaining local
      inventories and minimizing repositioning expenses.  By matching different
      carriers' container needs, leasing companies can reduce their own risks
      of container inventory imbalances and seasonality through a portfolio of
      lessees as well as variations in lease terms.

   -  Increased Container Fleet Flexibility.  Ocean carriers benefit from the
      variety of lease types offered by leasing companies such as the master
      lease, long-term and short-term lease and direct financing lease.  These
      various leases give ocean carriers flexibility in sizing their fleets
      while minimizing capital costs.  For example, master lease agreements
      give ocean carriers the option of adjusting the size of their fleets,
      with the flexibility to pick-up and drop-off containers at various
      locations around the world.

   Dry cargo containers are the most-commonly used type of container in the
shipping industry.  The Registrant's dry cargo container fleet is constructed
of all Corten(R) steel (Corten(R) roofs, walls, doors and undercarriage), a
high-tensile steel yielding greater damage and corrosion resistance than mild
steel.

   The Registrant's containers are leased primarily to ocean-going steamship
companies operating in major trade routes (see Item 1(d)).  Most if not all of
the Registrant's marine dry cargo containers are leased pursuant to operating
leases, primarily master leases where the containers are leased to the ocean
carrier on a daily basis for any desired length of time, with the flexibility
of picking up and dropping off containers at various agreed upon locations
around the world and, secondarily, term leases (1-5 years) and one-way or
round-trip leases.

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
   Master lease agreements.  A master lease is designed to provide greater
flexibility by allowing customers to pick-up and drop-off containers where and
when needed, subject to restrictions and availability, on pre-agreed terms.
The commercial terms of master leases are generally negotiated annually.
Master leases also define the number of containers that may be returned within
each calendar month and the return locations and applicable drop-off charges.
Because of the increased flexibility they offer, master leases usually command
higher per-diem rates and generate more ancillary fees (including pick-up,
drop-off, handling and off-hire fees) than term leases.

   Term lease agreements.  Term lease agreements include short-term and
long-term leases.  Long-term lease agreements define the number of containers
to be leased, the pick-up and drop-off locations, the applicable per-diem
rental rate for the duration of the lease and the early termination penalties
that may apply in the event of early redelivery.  Ocean carriers use long-term
leases when they have a need for identified containers for a specified term.
Long-term leases usually are not terminated early by the customer and provide
the Registrant with stable and relatively predictable sources of revenue,
although per-diem rates and ancillary charges are lower under long-term leases
than under master lease agreements.  Short-term lease agreements have a
duration of less than one year and include one-way, repositioning and
round-trip leases.  They differ from master leases in that they define the
number and the term of containers to be leased.  Ocean carriers use one-way
leases to manage trade imbalances (where more containerized cargo moves in one
direction than another) by picking up a container in one port and dropping it
off at another after one or more legs of a voyage.  Except for direct financing
leases, lease rates typically are highest for short-term leases.

   Under these leases, customers are responsible for paying all taxes and
service charges arising from container use, maintaining the containers in good
and safe operating condition while on lease and paying for repairs upon
redelivery, other than ordinary wear and tear.  Some leases provide for a
"damage protection plan" whereby lessees, for an additional payment (which may
be in the form of a higher per-diem rate), are relieved of the responsibility
of paying some of the repair costs upon redelivery of the containers.  The
Leasing Company has historically provided this service on a limited basis to
selected customers.  Repairs provided under such plans are carried out by the
same depots, under the same procedures, as are repairs to containers not
covered by such plans.  Customers also are required to insure leased containers
against physical damage and loss, and against third party liability for loss,
damage, bodily injury or death.

   All containers are inspected and repaired when redelivered by a customer,
and customers are obligated to pay for all damage repair, excluding wear and
tear, according to standardized industry guidelines.  Depots in major port
areas perform repair and maintenance which is verified by independent surveyors
or the Leasing Company's technical and operations staff.

   Before any repair or refurbishment is authorized on older containers in the
Registrant's fleet, the Leasing Company's technical and operations staff
reviews the age, condition and type of container and its suitability for
continued leasing.  The Leasing Company compares the cost of such repair or
refurbishment with the prevailing market resale price that might be obtained
for that container and makes the appropriate decision whether to repair or sell
the container.

   The non-cancelable terms of the operating leases of the Registrant's
containers will not be sufficient to return to the Registrant as lessor the
purchase price of the equipment.  In order to recover the original investment
in the equipment and achieve an adequate return thereon, it is necessary to
renew the lease, lease the equipment to another lessee at the end of the
initial lease term, or sell the equipment.

   The Registrant estimates that a dry cargo or refrigerated container may be
used as a leased marine cargo container for a period ranging from 10 to 15
years.  The Registrant disposes of used containers in a worldwide market for
used containers in which buyers include wholesalers, mini-storage operators,
construction companies and others.  As the Registrant's fleet ages, a larger
proportion of its revenue will be derived from selling its containers.

   The Leasing Company will make payments to the Registrant based upon rentals
collected from ocean carriers after deducting certain operating expenses
associated with the containers, such as the base management fee payable to CCC,
certain expense reimbursements to CCC, the costs of maintenance and repairs not
performed by lessees, independent agent fees and expenses, depot expenses for
handling, inspection and storage, and additional insurance.

   The Registrant's sales and marketing operations are conducted through the
Leasing Company, in the United Kingdom, with support provided by area offices
and dedicated agents located in San Francisco, California; Iselin, New Jersey;
Windsor, England; Hamburg; Antwerp; Auckland; Genoa; Singapore; Hong Kong;
Sydney; Tokyo; Taipei; Seoul; Rio de Janeiro; and Shanghai.  Each of the
Leasing Company's area offices and dedicated agents is staffed with local
people familiar with the customers and language of the region.  The Leasing
Company's marketing directors have been employed in the container industry in
their respective regions for an average of 15 years, building direct personal
relationships with the local ocean carriers and locally based representatives
of other ocean carriers.

   The Leasing Company also maintains agency relationships with over 20
independent agents around the world, who are generally paid a commission based
upon the amount of revenues they generate in the region or the number of
containers that are leased from their area on behalf of the Registrant.  They
are located in jurisdictions where the volume of the Leasing Company's business
necessitates a presence in the area but is not sufficient to justify a
fully-functioning Leasing Company office or dedicated agent.  These agents
provide marketing support to the area offices covering the region, together
with limited operational support.

   In addition, the Leasing Company relies on the services of over 300
independently-owned and operated depots around the world to inspect, repair,
maintain  and store containers while off-hire.  The Leasing Company's area
offices authorize all container movements into and out of the depot and
supervise all repair and maintenance performed by the depot.  The Leasing
Company's technical staff sets the standards for repair of its owned and
managed fleet throughout the world and monitors the quality of depot repair
work.  The depots provide a vital link to the Leasing Company's operations,
as the redelivery of a container into a depot is the point at which the
container is off-hired from one customer and repaired in preparation for
re-leasing to the next, and the point when the Leasing Company's area offices
report the container's movements onto the Leasing Company's equipment tracking
system.  The Leasing Company's computer system has the capability to
accommodate future developments, such as allowing depots access to record
directly on the system the on-hire and off-hire activity of containers
delivered into the depot.  It also has the capability of verifying the terms of

   (c)(1)(v)  The Registrant's containers are leased globally, therefore,
seasonal fluctuations are minimal.  Other economic and business factors to
which the transportation industry in general and the container leasing industry
in particular are subject, include inflation and fluctuations in general
business conditions and fluctuations in supply and demand for equipment
resulting from, among other things, obsolescence, changes in the methods or
economics of a particular mode of transportation or changes in governmental
regulations or safety standards.

   (c)(1)(vi)  The Registrant established an initial working capital reserve of
approximately $228,000 (1% of subscription proceeds raised).  In addition, the
Registrant may reserve additional amounts from anticipated cash distributions
to the partners to meet working capital requirements.

   Amounts due under master leases are calculated at the end of each month and
billed approximately six to eight days thereafter.  Amounts due under
short-term and long-term leases are set forth in the respective lease
agreements and are generally payable monthly.  However, payment is normally
received within 45-100 days of receipt.  Past due penalties are not customarily
collected from lessees, and accordingly are not generally levied by the Leasing
Company against lessees of the Registrant's containers.

   (c)(1)(vii)  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, no single lessee
accounted for 10% or more of the Registrant's rental income.  The Registrant
does not believe that its ongoing business is dependent upon a single customer,
although the loss of one or more of its largest customers could have an adverse
effect upon its business.

   (c)(1)(viii)  Inapplicable.

   (c)(1)(ix)  Inapplicable.

   (c)(1)(x)  Competition among container leasing companies is based upon
several factors, including the location and availability of inventory, lease
rates, the type, quality and condition of the containers, the quality and
flexibility of the service offered and the confidence in and professional
relationship with the lessor.  Other factors include the speed with which a
leasing company can prepare its containers for lease and the ease with which a
lessee believes it can do business with a lessor or its local area office.  The
Leasing Company believes that it, on behalf of the Registrant, competes
favorably on all of these factors.

   The Leasing Company, on behalf of the Registrant, competes with various
container leasing companies in the markets in which it conducts business,
including Genstar Container Corp., Transamerica Leasing, Triton Container
International Ltd., Trans Ocean Ltd., Textainer Corp. and others.  In a series
of recent consolidations, one of the major leasing companies, as well as some
smaller ones, have been acquired by competitors.  It is estimated that at the
end of 1995, the ten largest leasing companies (including the Leasing Company)
represented 94% of the global leased fleet.  Genstar Container Corp. and
Transamerica Leasing, the two largest container leasing companies, had
approximately 50% of the  worldwide leased container fleet at the end of 1995.
Some of the Leasing Company's competitors have greater financial resources than
the Leasing Company and may be more capable of offering lower per-diem rates on
a larger fleet.  In the Leasing Company's experience, however, ocean carriers
will generally lease containers from more than one leasing company in order to
minimize dependence on a single supplier.  In addition, not all container
leasing companies compete in the same market, as some supply only dry cargo
containers and not specialized containers, while others offer only long- term
leasing.

   (c)(1)(xii)  Inapplicable.

   (c)(1)(xiii)  The Registrant, as a limited partnership, is managed by CCC,
the managing general partner, and accordingly does not itself have any
employees.  CCC has 27 employees, consisting of 5 officers, 4 other managers
and 18 clerical and staff personnel.

   (d)   Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export
Sales

   The Registrant's business is not divided between foreign or domestic
operations.  The Registrant's business is the leasing of containers worldwide
to ocean-going steamship companies.  To this extent, the Registrant's
operations are subject to the fluctuations of worldwide economic and political
conditions that may affect the pattern and levels of world trade.

   Rental income from leases to foreign customers constituted approximately 90%
of the Registrant's total rental income for the years 1995, 1994 and 1993.  The
Registrant believes that the profitability of, and risks associated with,
leases to foreign customers is generally the same as those of leases to
domestic customers.  The Registrant's leases generally require all payments to
be made in United States currency.



Item 2.  Properties

   As of December 31, 1995, the Registrant owned 4,766 twenty-foot, 2,707
forty-foot and 72 forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo containers suitable for
transporting cargo by rail, sea or highway. The average age and manufacturers'
invoice cost of the containers in the Registrant's fleet as of December 31,
1995 was as follows:

</TABLE>

   Utilization by lessees of the Registrant's containers fluctuates over time
depending on the supply of and demand for containers in the Registrant's
inventory locations.  During 1995, utilization averaged 88%.

   During 1995, the Registrant disposed of 544 twenty-foot, 408 forty-foot and
two forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo containers at an average book gain of
$326 per container.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result
of Operations


Liquidity and Capital Resources

   At December 31, 1995, the Registrant had $1,728,584 in cash and cash
equivalents, a decrease of $40,919 and $284,700 from the December 31, 1994 and
1993 balances, respectively.  The Registrant's declining fleet size, as well as
lower per-diem rental rates during 1995, contributed to the decline in cash.

   During the Registrant's first 10 years of operations, its primary objective
was to generate cash flow from operations for distribution to its limited
partners.  Aside from the initial working capital reserve retained from gross
subscription proceeds (equal to approximately 1% of such proceeds), the
Registrant relies primarily on container rental receipts to meet this objective
as well as to finance current operating needs.  No credit lines are maintained
to finance working capital.  Commencing in 1994, the Registrant's 11th year of
operations, the Registrant began to focus its attention on the disposition of
its fleet in accordance with another of its original objectives, realizing the
residual value of its containers after the expiration of their economic useful
lives, estimated to be 10-15 years after placement in leased service.  Since
that time, the Registrant has been actively disposing of its fleet, while cash
proceeds from equipment disposals, in addition to cash from operations, have
provided the cash flow for distributions to the limited partners.  During 1995,
the Registrant disposed of 544 twenty-foot and 408 forty-foot dry cargo
containers, compared to 440 twenty-foot and 331 forty-foot dry cargo containers
disposed of during 1994.  The decision to dispose of containers is influenced
by various factors including age, condition, suitability for continued leasing
as well as the geographical location of the container when disposed. Cash
generated from sales proceeds increased from $298,758 in 1993 to $1,113,578 and
$1,140,812 in 1994 and 1995, respectively.

   The Registrant's allowance for doubtful accounts increased from $294,133 in
1994 to $355,354 in 1995.  The Leasing Company has either negotiated specific
payment terms or is pursuing other alternatives in an attempt to collect the
outstanding receivable balances.  During 1995, the Leasing Company concentrated
on improving the credit quality of its customer portfolio.  The Registrant
expects to gain long-term benefits from the improvement in the credit quality
of this customer portfolio, as the allowance for doubtful accounts and related
expenses should decline in subsequent periods.





                                       10
<PAGE>   11
   Cash distributions from operations were originally allocated 5% to the
general partners and 95% to the limited partners.  Distributions of sales
proceeds were allocated 100% to the limited partners.  In 1991, pursuant to
Section 6.1(c) of the Partnership Agreement, the allocations of distributions
from operations among the general partners and limited partners were adjusted
to 8% and 92%, respectively.  The allocations of distributions of cash from
sales proceeds among the general partners and limited partners were adjusted to
3% and 97%, respectively.  This sharing arrangement remained in place until
1992, at which time the limited partners received from the Registrant aggregate
distributions in an amount equal to their adjusted capital contributions, plus
an 8% cumulative, (compounded daily), annual return on their adjusted capital
contributions.  Thereafter, all distributions have been allocated 18% to the
general partners and 82% to the limited partners, pursuant to Sections 6.1(b)
and (c) of the Partnership Agreement.

   Cash distributions from operations to the general partners in excess of 8%
of distributable cash are considered to be incentive fees and are compensation
to the general partners.  Incentive fees, which are based on the operating
performance of the fleet and sales proceeds, increased $50,212, or
approximately 10% from 1994.

         From inception through February 29, 1996, the Registrant has
distributed $39,509,017 in cash from operations and $2,511,684 in cash from
sales proceeds to its limited partners.  This represents total distributions of
$42,020,701, or 191% of the Registrant's original limited partners' investment.
Distributions to the partners are determined and paid quarterly, based
primarily on each quarter's cash flow from operations and cash generated from
container sales.  The Registrant will continue to distribute to its partners
all cash generated from operations and sales proceeds, to the extent possible,
periodically increasing or decreasing working capital reserves, as deemed
appropriate by CCC.

   The container leasing market generally softened during the fourth quarter of
1995 and has remained so during the early months of 1996.  Demand for leased
containers remains stable in some areas of the world; however, sluggish
activity in other markets, particularly in Southeast Asia, has resulted in an
increase in container inventories.  The current market conditions cannot be
attributed to any one factor; rather, a series of factors, in combination, have
resulted in a slowdown in leasing activity.  Some of the contributing factors
are:  a slowdown in some European economies, as well as in some Far East
exporting countries; increased efficiencies in the shipping industry through
the formation of alliances between shipping lines; and a prolonged seasonal
slowdown in container demand during the holiday season.  Although some further
softening in market conditions may be anticipated, the volume of world trade
continues to grow and the long-term outlook is a positive one.


Results of Operations

1995 - 1994

   In 1995, the Registrant's operations were impacted by its declining fleet
size, increasingly competitive market conditions, including, but not limited
to, the container leasing market's resistance to higher per-diem rental rates,
an expanding supply of containers within the container industry, as well as
increased efficiencies in the shipping industry.  The Registrant's net lease
revenue, which decreased by approximately 4% when compared to 1994, is
determined by deducting direct operating expenses, management fees and
reimbursed administrative expenses, from rental revenues billed by the Leasing
Company from the leasing of the Registrant's containers.  The Registrant's net
lease revenue is directly related to the size of its fleet and the utilization
and per-diem rental rates of the equipment owned by the Registrant.

   During 1995, the Registrant's average fleet size (as measured in twenty-foot
equivalent units ("TEU")) was 11,015 TEU, as compared to 12,202 TEU in 1994.
At December 31, 1995, 76% of the original equipment remained in the
Registrant's fleet, and was comprised of the following:

   Utilization rates increased slightly from an average of 87% during 1994 to
an average of 88% during 1995.  At the same time, per- diem rental rates were
less than 1% lower than 1994 levels.  The combined effect of theses changes and
the declining fleet size, resulted in a 7% decline in gross rental revenues.
However, ancillary revenue, a component of gross rental revenue, increased
approximately 15% during 1995.  Ancillary revenue contributed to approximately
16% and 13% of the Registrant's total gross rental revenue in 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Ancillary revenue was comprised of pick-up, drop-off, handling
and off-hire charges, as well as drop-off and pick-up credits.

   The Registrant disposed of 544 twenty-foot and 408 forty-foot marine dry
cargo containers during 1995, as compared to 440 twenty- foot and 331
forty-foot marine dry cargo containers during 1994.  As a result, approximately
13% of  the Registrant's net earnings during 1995 were from gain on disposal of
equipment, as compared to 15% for 1994.  The decision to repair or dispose of a
container is made when it is returned by a lessee.  This decision is influenced
by various factors including the age, condition, suitability for continued
leasing, as well as the geographical location of the container when disposed.
These factors also influence the amount of sales proceeds received and the
related gain on container disposals.  As the Registrant accelerates the
disposal of its containers in subsequent periods, net gain on disposals will
contribute significantly to the Registrant's net earnings.

   The Registrant's aging and declining fleet contributed to a 9% decline in
depreciation expense during 1995.  The Leasing Company makes payments to the
Registrant based upon the rentals collected from ocean carriers after deducting
certain operating expenses associated with the containers, such as base
management fees and reimbursed administrative expense payable to CCC and its
affiliates, the costs of maintenance and repairs not performed by lessees,
independent agent fees and expenses, depot expenses for handling, inspection
and storage, and additional insurance.  Rental equipment direct operating
expenses decreased primarily as result of the declining fleet size.  Base
management fees declined by $56,996, or approximately 13%, during 1995.
Incentive fees, which are based on the operating performance of the fleet and
sales proceeds, increased $50,212, or approximately 10%, during 1995.

1994 - 1993

   The container leasing industry began to benefit from a global economic
recovery during the latter half of 1994, experiencing an improvement in
conditions that existed during 1993, including an upward trend in utilization
rates, a reduction in container inventories, and a stabilization of declining
per-diem rental rates during the fourth quarter of 1994.  Despite these
conditions, net lease revenue declined approximately 16% when compared to 1993.
During 1994, the Registrant operated a fleet averaging 12,202 TEU (twenty-foot
equivalent units), a decline from an average of 13,002 TEU during 1993.  The
Registrant's average per-diem rental rates during 1994 were 4% lower than 1993
levels.  However, utilization averaged 87% during 1994, an increase of 1% from
the average rate of 86% experienced during 1993.

   Rental equipment direct operating expenses increased during 1994 as a result
of increased turnover activity, storage, handling, repositioning expenses and
repair and maintenance expenses incurred on the aging fleet.  Additionally, the
provision for doubtful accounts increased from $111,947 in 1993 to $306,785 in
1994.

   Approximately 15% of the Registrant's net earnings during 1994 was from gain
on disposal of equipment, as compared to approximately 5% during the prior
year.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



The Partners
IEA Income Fund VI,
A California Limited Partnership:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of IEA Income Fund VI, A
California Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statements of operations, partners' capital and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  These financial
statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule 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 IEA Income Fund VI, A
California Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplementary information included
in Schedule 1 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements.  This information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993


(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


     (a)   Nature of Operations

          IEA Income Fund VI, A California Limited Partnership (the
          "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the laws of
          the State of California on August 1,1984 for the purpose of owning
          and leasing marine cargo containers.  The managing general partner is
          Cronos Capital Corp. ("CCC"); the associate general partners are four
          individuals.  CCC, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the
          "Leasing Company"), manages and controls the business of the
          Partnership.

          The Partnership commenced operations on December 4, 1984, when the
          minimum subscription proceeds of $1,000,000 were obtained.  The
          Partnership offered 60,000 units of limited partnership interest at
          $500 per unit, or $30,000,000.  The offering terminated on October
          11, 1985, at which time 43,920 limited partnership units had been
          purchased.

          As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership owned and operated 4,766
          twenty-foot, 2,707 forty-foot and 72 forty-foot high-cube marine dry
          cargo containers.


     (b)  Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement

          Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, all
          authority to administer the business of the Partnership is vested in
          CCC.  CCC has entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the
          Leasing Company has the responsibility to manage the leasing
          operations of all equipment owned by the Partnership.  Pursuant to
          the Agreement, the Leasing Company is responsible for leasing,
          managing and re-leasing the Partnership's containers to ocean
          carriers and has full discretion over which ocean carriers and
          suppliers of goods and services it may deal with.  The Leasing Agent
          Agreement permits the Leasing Company to use the containers owned by
          the Partnership, together with other containers owned or managed by
          the Leasing Company and its affiliates, as part of a single fleet
          operated without regard to ownership.  Since the Leasing Agent
          Agreement meets the definition of an operating lease in Statement of
          Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, it is accounted for as
          a lease under which the Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company
          is lessee.

          The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provides that the Leasing
          Company will make payments to the Partnership based upon rentals
          collected from ocean carriers after deducting direct operating
          expenses and management fees to CCC.  The Leasing Company leases
          containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which
          are either master leases or term leases (mostly one to five years).
          Master leases do not specify the exact number of containers to be
          leased or the term that each container will remain on hire but allow
          the ocean carrier to pick up and drop off containers at various
          locations; rentals are based upon the number of containers used and
          the applicable per-diem rate.  Accordingly, rentals under master
          leases are all variable and contingent upon the number of containers
          used.  Most containers are leased to ocean carriers under master
          leases; leasing agreements with fixed payment terms are not material
          to the financial statements.  Since there are no material minimum
          lease rentals, no disclosure of minimum lease rentals is provided in
          these financial statements.

                              IEA INCOME FUND VI,
                        A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     (c)  Basis of Accounting

          The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting.  Revenue
          is recorded when earned.

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires the Partnership to
          make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
          assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
          liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
          amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.


     (d)  Allocation of Net Earnings and Partnership Distributions

          Net earnings have been allocated between general and limited partners
          in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.

          Actual cash distributions differ from the allocations of net earnings
          between the general and limited partners as presented in these
          financial statements.  The Partnership makes quarterly distributions
          to its partners (general and limited) from distributable cash from
          operations (allocated 95% to the limited partners and 5% to the
          general partners) or sales proceeds (allocated 100% to the limited
          partners).  However, if the amount of the limited partners' capital
          contributions invested in equipment exceeds the minimum percentage
          required by Section 3.5 of the Partnership Agreement, and the limited
          partners have received cumulative distributions equal to their
          capital contributions, the general partners' interest in
          distributions from operations and sales proceeds will be increased by
          one percentage point for each 1% of the limited partners' capital
          contribution invested in equipment in excess of 80%.

          During 1991, this threshold was reached and, accordingly,
          distributions from distributable cash (allocated 92% to the limited
          partners and 8% to the general partners) and sales proceeds
          (allocated 97% to the limited partners and 3% to the general
          partners) were adjusted.  These allocations remained in effect until
          1992, at which time the limited partners received from the
          Partnership aggregate distributions in an amount equal to their
          adjusted capital contributions plus an 8% cumulative, compounded
          (daily), annual return on their adjusted capital contributions;
          thereafter, all partnership distributions have been allocated 82% to
          the limited partners and 18% to the general partners.


     (e)  Acquisition Fees

          Acquisition fees paid to CCC were based on 5% of the equipment
          purchase price.  These fees were capitalized and included in the cost
          of the rental equipment.


     (f)  Depreciation of Containers

          Rental equipment is depreciated over a twelve-year life on a
          straight-line basis to its estimated salvage value.


     (g)  Income Taxes

          The Partnership is not subject to income taxes, consequently no
          provision for income taxes has been made.  The Partnership files an
          annual information tax return, prepared on the accrual basis of
          accounting.  At December 31, 1995, the tax basis of total partners'
          capital was $5,837,662.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     (h)  Foreign Operations

          The Partnership's business is not divided between foreign or domestic
          operations.  The Partnership's business is the leasing of containers
          worldwide to ocean-going steamship companies and does not fit the
          definition of reportable foreign operations within Financial
          Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 14 "Financial Reporting for
          Segments of a Business Enterprise."  Any attempt to separate
          "foreign" operations from "domestic" operations would be dependent on
          definitions and assumptions that are so subjective as to render the
          information meaningless and potentially misleading.


     (i)  Financial Statement Presentation

          The Partnership has determined that for accounting purposes the
          Leasing Agent Agreement is a lease, and the receivables, payables,
          gross revenues and operating expenses attributable to the containers
          managed by the Leasing Company are, for accounting purposes, those of
          the Leasing Company and not of the Partnership.  Consequently, the
          Partnership's balance sheets and statement of operations display the
          payments to be received by the Partnership from the Leasing Company
          as the Partnership's receivables and revenues.


(2)  Short-term Investments

     Short-term investments are carried at cost which approximates market
     value.  Short-term investments with an original maturity of less than
     three months are considered cash equivalents.


(3)  Net Investment in Direct Financing Lease

     During 1988, the Partnership purchased equipment which was subsequently
     leased to an existing customer pursuant to an eight-year direct finance
     lease.

     The following are the minimum lease payments and components of the net
     investment in direct financing lease as of December 31, 1995:

(4)  Net Lease Receivables Due from Leasing Company

     Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company are determined by
     deducting direct operating payables and accrued expenses, base management
     fees payable, reimbursed administrative expenses and incentive fees
     payable to CCC and its affiliates from the rental billings payable by the
     Leasing Company to the Partnership under operating leases to ocean
     carriers for the containers owned by the Partnership.  Net lease
     receivables at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 were as follows:

(5)  Damage Protection Plan

     The Leasing Company offers a repair service to several lessees of the
     Partnership's containers, whereby the lessee pays an additional rental fee
     for the convenience of having the Partnership incur the repair expense for
     containers damaged while on lease.  This revenue is recorded when earned
     according to the terms of the rental contract.  A reserve has been
     established to provide for the estimated costs incurred by this service.
     This reserve is a component of net lease receivables due from the Leasing
     Company (see note 4).  The Partnership is not responsible in the event
     repair costs exceed predetermined limits, or for repairs that are required
     for damages not defined by the damage protection plan agreement.


(6)  Net Lease Revenue

     Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses,
     management fees and reimbursed administrative expenses to CCC from the
     rental revenue billed by the Leasing Company under operating leases to
     ocean carriers for the containers owned by the Partnership.  Net lease
     revenue for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, was as
     follows:

Item 11.   Executive Compensation

   The Registrant pays a management fee and will reimburse the managing general
partner for various administrative expenses.

   The Registrant also makes quarterly distributions to its partners (general
and limited) from distributable cash from operations (allocated 95% to the
limited partners and 5% to the general partners) or sales proceeds (allocated
100% to the limited partners).  However, if the amount of the limited partners'
capital contributions invested in equipment exceeds the minimum percentage
required by Section 3.5 of the Limited Partnership Agreement, and the limited
partners have received cumulative distributions equal to their capital
contributions, the general partners' interest in distributions from operations
and sales proceeds will be increased by one percentage point for each 1% of the
limited partners' capital contribution invested in equipment in excess of 80%.

   During 1991, this threshold was reached and, accordingly, distributions from
distributable cash (allocated 92% to the limited partners and 8% to the general
partners) and sales proceeds (allocated 97% to the limited partners and 3% to
the general partners) were adjusted.  These allocations remained in effect
until 1992, at which time the limited partners received from the Registrant
aggregate distributions in an amount equal to their adjusted capital
contributions plus an 8% cumulative, compounded (daily), annual return on their
adjusted capital contributions; thereafter, all partnership distributions have
been allocated 82% to the limited partners and 18% to the general partners.

   The Registrant does not pay or reimburse CCC or the associate general
partners for any remuneration payable by them to their executive officers,
directors or any other controlling persons.  However, the Registrant does
reimburse the managing general partner for certain services pursuant to Section
4.4 of the Partnership Agreement.  These services include but are not limited
to (i) salaries and related salary expenses for services which could be
performed directly for the Registrant by independent parties, such as legal,
accounting, transfer agent, data processing, operations, communications,
duplicating and other such services; (ii) performing administrative services
necessary to the prudent operations of the Registrant.
