PART I

Item 1.  Business.

        (a)  General Development of Business

        AMERICAN INCOME 6 LIMITED  PARTNERSHIP (the "Partnership") was organized
as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act
(the "Uniform Act") on June 25, 1986 for the purpose of acquiring and leasing to
third parties a diversified  portfolio of capital  equipment.  Partners' capital
initially  consisted of  contributions  of $1,000 each from the General  Partner
(AFG Leasing  Associates II) and the Initial  Limited Partner (John L. Lee). The
sole General  Partner of the  Partnership is  wholly-owned  by American  Finance
Group ("AFG"), a Massachusetts  partnership and its Affiliates. On September 30,
1986, the Partnership  issued 60,519 limited  partnership units (the "Units") to
1,188 Limited  Partners,  including four Units  purchased by the Initial Limited
Partner. Initially, the General Partner had the following five general partners:
AFG Leasing  Incorporated,  a Massachusetts  corporation,  Kestutis J. Makaitis,
Daniel J.  Roggemann,  Martin F. Laughlin,  and Geoffrey A.  MacDonald.  Messrs.
Makaitis,  Roggemann and Laughlin subsequently elected to withdraw as Individual
General Partners.  The General Partner is not required to make any other capital
contributions except as may be required under the Uniform Act and Section 6.1(c)
of the Amended and Restated  Agreement and  Certificate  of Limited  Partnership
(the  "Restated  Agreement,  as amended").  In accordance  with the terms of the
Restated  Agreement,  as amended,  AFG purchased  1,513 Units  ($378,250) in the
Partnership,  representing 2.5% of the total capital  contributions  received by
the Partnership.  In 1995, AFG tendered all of its Units to Atlantic Acquisition
Limited Partnership. (See Item 13 herein.)

        (b)  Financial Information About Industry Segments

        The Partnership is engaged in only one industry segment: the business of
acquiring capital equipment and leasing the equipment to creditworthy lessees on
a full-payout or operating lease basis.  (Full-payout  leases are those in which
aggregate  noncancellable rents equal or exceed the Purchase Price of the leased
equipment.  Operating  leases  are those in which the  aggregate  noncancellable
rental  payments  are less than the  Purchase  Price of the  leased  equipment.)
Industry segment data is not applicable.

        (c)  Narrative Description of Business

        The  Partnership  was  organized to acquire a  diversified  portfolio of
capital  equipment  subject to various  full-payout and operating  leases and to
lease the  equipment  to third  parties as  income-producing  investments.  More
specifically, the Partnership's primary investment objectives are to acquire and
lease equipment which will:

        1. Generate quarterly cash distributions; and

        2. Maintain substantial residual value for ultimate sale.

        The  Partnership  has the  additional  objective  of  providing  certain
federal income tax benefits.

        The  Closing  Date of the  Offering  of  Units  of the  Partnership  was
September 30, 1986. The initial  purchase of equipment and the associated  lease
commitments occurred on September 30, 1986. The acquisition of the equipment and
its  associated  leases  is  described  in  detail  in  Note 3 to the  financial
statements included in Item 14, herein. The Partnership is expected to terminate
by December 31, 1997.

        The Partnership has no employees;  however, it entered into a Management
Agreement  with  AFG  (the  "Manager")   coincident  with  the  commencement  of
operations.  The Manager's role, among other things, is to (i) evaluate, select,
negotiate, and consummate the acquisition of equipment, (ii) manage the leasing,
re-leasing,  financing,  and  refinancing  of  equipment,  and (iii) arrange the
resale of equipment.  The Manager is compensated  for such services as described
in the  Restated  Agreement,  as amended,  Item 13 herein,  and in Note 4 to the
financial statements included in Item 14, herein.

        The  Partnership's  investment in equipment is, and will continue to be,
subject  to  various  risks,  including  physical  deterioration,  technological
obsolescence  and defaults by lessees.  A principal  business risk of owning and
leasing equipment is the possibility that aggregate lease revenues and equipment
sale proceeds will be  insufficient  to provide an acceptable  rate of return on
invested capital after payment of all debt service costs and operating expenses.
Consequently,  the  success of the  Partnership  is largely  dependent  upon the
ability of the General  Partner  and its  Affiliates  to forecast  technological
advances,  the ability of the lessees to fulfill their lease obligations and the
quality and marketability of the equipment at the time of sale.

        In  addition,  the leasing  industry is very  competitive.  Although all
funds  available for  acquisitions  have been invested in equipment,  subject to
noncancellable  lease  agreements,  the Partnership will encounter  considerable
competition  when  equipment is re-leased or sold at the  expiration  of primary
lease  terms.  The  Partnership,  which  is  now  in the  latter  stages  of its
operations   phase,  will  compete  with  lease  programs  offered  directly  by
manufacturers   and  other  equipment  leasing   companies,   including  limited
partnerships  organized and managed similarly to the Partnership,  and including
other AFG sponsored  partnerships and trusts, which may seek to re-lease or sell
equipment  within their own portfolios to the same customers as the Partnership.
Many competitors have greater  financial  resources and more experience than the
Partnership, the General Partner and the Manager.

        Generally,  the Partnership is prohibited from  reinvesting the proceeds
generated by refinancing or selling equipment. Accordingly, the Partnership will
begin to liquidate its  portfolio of equipment at the  expiration of the initial
and renewal lease terms and to distribute the net  liquidation  proceeds.  As an
alternative  to  sale,  the  Partnership  may  enter  re-lease  agreements  when
considered  advantageous by the General  Partner and the Manager.  In accordance
with the Partnership's  stated investment  objectives and policies,  the General
Partner is considering  winding-up the Partnership's  operations,  including the
liquidation of its entire portfolio.

        Revenue from major individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of
lease  revenue  during  the years  ended  December  31,  1995,  1994 and 1993 is
incorporated  herein by reference to Note 2 to the  financial  statements in the
1995 Annual Report.  Refer to Item 14(a)(3) for lease  agreements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

        Default by a lessee under a lease may cause  equipment to be returned to
the  Partnership at a time when the General  Partner or the Manager is unable to
arrange for the  re-lease or sale of such  equipment.  This could  result in the
loss of a material portion of anticipated  revenues and significantly weaken the
Partnership's ability to repay related debt.

        AFG is a successor to the business of American  Finance  Group,  Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation engaged since its inception in 1980 in various aspects
of the equipment leasing business. In 1990, certain members of AFG's management,
principally  Geoffrey A. MacDonald,  Chief  Executive  Officer and co-founder of
AFG,  established AFG Holdings  (Massachusetts)  Limited Partnership  ("Holdings
Massachusetts") to acquire ownership and control of AFG. Holdings  Massachusetts
effected  this  event by  acquiring  all of the  equity  interests  of AFG's two
partners,  AFG Holdings Illinois Limited Partnership  ("Holdings  Illinois") and
AFG Corporation.  Holdings  Massachusetts  incurred significant  indebtedness to
finance this acquisition, a significant portion of which was scheduled to mature
in 1995.

        On December 16, 1994, the senior lender to Holdings  Massachusetts  (the
"Senior Lender") assumed control of its security  interests in Holdings Illinois
and AFG  Corporation  and sold all such  interests to GDE  Acquisitions  Limited
Partnership,  a Massachusetts  limited partnership owned and controlled entirely
by Gary D. Engle,  President and member of the Executive  Committee of AFG. As a
result of this transaction, GDE Acquisitions Limited Partnership acquired all of
the assets,  rights and  obligations  of AFG from the Senior  Lender and assumed
control of AFG.  Geoffrey A. MacDonald remains as Chief Executive Officer of AFG
and member of its Executive Committee.

Item 5.  Market for the Partnership's Securities and Related Security Holder
           Matters.

        (a) Market Information

        There is no  public  market  for the  resale  of the Units and it is not
anticipated that a public market for resale of the Units will develop.

        (b) Approximate Number of Security Holders

        At  December  31,  1995,  there  were  1,063  Limited  Partners  in  the
Partnership.

        (c) Dividend History and Restrictions

        Pursuant  to Article  VI of the  Restated  Agreement,  as  amended,  the
Partnership's  Distributable  Cash From Operations and  Distributable  Cash From
Sales or Refinancings are determined and distributed to the Partners  quarterly.
Each quarter's distribution may vary in amount. Distributions may be made to the
General Partner prior to the end of the fiscal quarter;  however,  the amount of
such distribution reflects only amounts to which the General Partner is entitled
at the time such Distribution is made. Currently, there are no restrictions that
materially limit the Partnership's ability to distribute Distributable Cash From
Operations  and  Distributable  Cash  From  Sales  or  Refinancings  or that the
Partnership  believes are likely to materially limit the future  distribution of
Distributable  Cash  From  Operations  and  Distributable  Cash  From  Sales  or
Refinancings.   The   Partnership   expects  to  continue  to   distribute   all
Distributable  Cash  From  Operations  and  Distributable  Cash  From  Sales  or
Refinancings on a quarterly basis.

</TABLE>

        Distributions  payable  were  $152,827 and $267,445 at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively.

        "Distributable  Cash From Operations" means the net cash provided by the
Partnership's  normal operations after general expenses and current  liabilities
of the  Partnership  are paid,  reduced by any reserves for working  capital and
contingent  liabilities  to be  funded  from such  cash,  to the  extent  deemed
reasonable by the General Partner, and increased by any portion of such reserves
deemed by the General Partner not to be required for Partnership  operations and
reduced by all accrued and unpaid  Equipment  Management Fees and, after Payout,
further  reduced  by all  accrued  and  unpaid  Subordinated  Remarketing  Fees.
Distributable  Cash From Operations does not include any Distributable Cash From
Sales or Refinancings.

        "Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means Cash From Sales or
Refinancings as reduced by (i)(a) amounts  realized from any loss or destruction
of equipment which the General Partner determines shall be reinvested in similar
equipment for the remainder of the original  lease term of the lost or destroyed
equipment,  or in isolated instances, in other equipment, if the General Partner
determines  that  investment  of such proceeds  will  significantly  improve the
diversity of the Partnership's  equipment portfolio,  and subject in either case
to  satisfaction of all existing  indebtedness  secured by such equipment to the
extent  deemed  necessary or  appropriate  by the General  Partner,  and (b) the
proceeds  from the sale of an interest in  equipment  pursuant to any  agreement
governing a joint venture which the General Partner  determines will be invested
in additional  equipment or interests in equipment and which  ultimately  are so
reinvested and (ii) any accrued and unpaid Equipment  Management Fees and, after
Payout, any accrued and unpaid Subordinated Remarketing Fees.

        "Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means cash received by the Partnership
from sale or  refinancing  transactions,  as  reduced  by  (i)(a)  all debts and
liabilities  of the  Partnership  required  to be  paid as a  result  of sale or
refinancing  transactions,  whether or not then due and payable  (including  any
liabilities  on an item of equipment sold which are not assumed by the buyer and
any  remarketing  fees  required to be paid to persons not  affiliated  with the
General Partner, but not including any Subordinated  Remarketing Fees whether or
not  then  due and  payable)  and (b)  any  reserves  for  working  capital  and
contingent  liabilities funded from such cash to the extent deemed reasonable by
the General Partner and (ii) increased by any portion of such reserves deemed by
the General Partner not to be required for Partnership operations.  In the event
the  Partnership  accepts  a note in  connection  with any  sale or  refinancing
transaction,  all payments subsequently received in cash by the Partnership with
respect  to such note  shall be  included  in Cash From  Sales or  Refinancings,
regardless  of the  treatment  of such  payments by the  Partnership  for tax or
accounting  purposes.  If the Partnership receives purchase money obligations in
payment for equipment sold,  which are secured by liens on such  equipment,  the
amount  of such  obligations  shall  not be  included  in  Cash  From  Sales  or
Refinancings until the obligations are fully satisfied.

        Each   distribution   of   Distributable   Cash  From   Operations   and
Distributable  Cash From Sales or Refinancings of the Partnership  shall be made
99% to the Limited  Partners and 1% to the General Partner before Payout and 85%
to the Limited Partners and 15% to the General Partner after Payout.

        "Payout" is defined as the first time when the  aggregate  amount of all
distributions to the Limited Partners of Distributable  Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings equals the aggregate amount of the
Limited Partners' original capital contributions plus a cumulative annual return
of 10% (compounded daily and calculated beginning with the Partnership's Closing
Date) on their aggregate unreturned capital contributions.  For purposes of this
definition,  capital contributions shall be deemed to have been returned only to
the extent that  distributions of cash to the Limited Partners exceed the amount
required to satisfy the cumulative  annual return of 10%  (compounded  daily) on
the  Limited  Partners'  aggregate   unreturned  capital   contributions,   such
calculation  to be  based  on the  aggregate  unreturned  capital  contributions
outstanding on the first day of each fiscal quarter.

        Distributable  Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or
Refinancings   ("Distributions")  are  distributed  within  60  days  after  the
completion  of each  quarter,  beginning  with the  first  full  fiscal  quarter
following the  Partnership's  Closing Date. Each  Distribution is described in a
statement sent to the Limited Partners.

</TABLE>

        As  provided  under  the  terms  of  the  Management  Agreement,  AFG is
compensated  for its  services to the  Partnership.  Such  services  include all
aspects  of  acquisition,  management  and sale of  equipment.  For  acquisition
services, AFG is compensated by an amount equal to 4.75% of Equipment Base Price
paid by the  Partnership.  For  management  services,  AFG is  compensated by an
amount  equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of gross lease rental  revenues  earned by
the Partnership or (ii) fees which the General Partner reasonably believes to be
competitive for similar services for similar  equipment.  Both of these fees are
subject to certain limitations defined in the Management Agreement. Compensation
to AFG for services  connected to the sale of  equipment  is  calculated  as the
lesser of (i) 3% of gross sale proceeds or (ii) one-half of reasonable brokerage
fees  otherwise  payable  under  arm's  length  circumstances.  Payment  of  the
remarketing fee is subordinated to Payout and is subject to certain  limitations
defined in the Management Agreement.

        Interest expense - affiliate represents interest incurred on legal costs
in connection with a state sales tax dispute  involving  certain equipment owned
by the Partnership and other affiliated  investment  programs  sponsored by AFG.
Legal costs incurred by AFG to resolve this matter and the interest  thereon was
allocated  to  the   Partnership   and  other  affected   investment   programs.
Administrative charges represent amounts owed to AFG, pursuant to Section 9.4 of
the Restated Agreement,  as amended, for persons employed by AFG who are engaged
in providing administrative services to the Partnership.  Reimbursable operating
expenses  due to third  parties  represent  costs  paid by AFG on  behalf of the
Partnership which are reimbursed to AFG.

        All equipment was acquired  from AFG, one of its  affiliates,  including
other equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG, or from third-party  sellers.
The Partnership's  Purchase Price was determined by the method described in Note
2 to the financial statements, included in Item 14, herein.

        All rents and proceeds  from the sale of equipment  are paid directly to
either  AFG or to a  lender.  AFG  temporarily  deposits  collected  funds  in a
separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership.
At December 31, 1995,  the  Partnership  was owed $198,811 by AFG for such funds
and the interest thereon. All of these funds were remitted to the Partnership in
January 1996.

        On August 18, 1995, Atlantic Acquisition Limited Partnership ("AALP"), a
newly formed  Massachusetts  limited partnership owned and controlled by certain
principals of AFG,  commenced a voluntary cash Tender Offer (the "Offer") for up
to  approximately  45% of the outstanding  units of limited partner  interest in
this  Partnership and 20 affiliated  partnerships  sponsored and managed by AFG.
The  Offer  was  subsequently  amended  and  supplemented  in order  to  provide
additional  disclosure  to  unitholders;  increase the offer  price;  reduce the
number of units sought to approximately 35% of the outstanding units; and extend
the expiration date of the Offer to October 20, 1995. Following  commencement of
the Offer,  certain legal actions were initiated by interested  persons  against
AALP, each of the general partners (4 in total) of the 21 affected programs, and
various other affiliates and related parties. One action, a class action brought
in the United  States  District  Court for the  District of  Massachusetts  (the
"Court") on behalf of the unitholders  (limited partners),  sought to enjoin the
Offer and obtain  unspecified  monetary damages. A settlement of this litigation
was approved by the Court on November 15, 1995. A second class  action,  brought
in the  Superior  Court of the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  (the  "Superior
Court") seeking to enjoin the Offer,  obtain unspecified  monetary damages,  and
intervene in the first class action,  was dismissed by the Superior  Court.  The
Plaintiffs  have filed an appeal in this  matter.  The  limited  partners of the
Partnership   tendered   approximately  7,791  units  or  12.87%  of  the  total
outstanding  units of the Partnership to AALP. The operations of the Partnership
are not expected to be adversely affected by these proceedings or settlements.

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

                Year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the year
          ended December 31, 1994 and the year ended December 31, 1994
                  compared to the year ended December 31, 1993

Overview

        As  an  equipment  leasing   partnership,   American  Income  6  Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized to acquire a diversified portfolio
of  capital  equipment  subject to lease  agreements  with  third  parties.  The
Partnership   was  designed  to  progress   through  three   principal   phases:
acquisitions, operations, and liquidation. During the operations phase, a period
of  approximately  six  years,  all  equipment  in the  Partnership's  portfolio
progresses  through various stages.  Initially,  all equipment  generates rental
revenues  under  primary  term  lease   agreements.   During  the  life  of  the
Partnership, these agreements expire on an intermittent basis and equipment held
pursuant to the related  leases are  renewed,  re-leased  or sold,  depending on
prevailing  market  conditions and the assessment of such conditions by American
Finance Group ("AFG") to obtain the most  advantageous  economic  benefit.  Over
time,  a greater  portion  of the  Partnership's  original  equipment  portfolio
becomes  available for  remarketing  and cash generated from operations and from
sales or  refinancings  begins to fluctuate.  Ultimately,  all equipment will be
sold and the Partnership will be dissolved. In accordance with the Partnership's
stated  investment  objectives and policies,  the General Partner is considering
the winding-up of the Partnership's operations, including the liquidation of its
entire portfolio. The Partnership's operations commenced in 1986.

Results of Operations

        For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership  recognized  lease
revenue of $1,254,620  compared to $1,522,008 and $1,699,684 for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The decrease in lease revenue between
1993 and 1995 was  expected and  resulted  principally  from primary and renewal
lease term  expirations and the sale of equipment.  The  Partnership  also earns
interest  income from  temporary  investments  of rental  receipts and equipment
sales proceeds in short-term instruments.

        The Partnership's  equipment  portfolio includes certain assets in which
the Partnership  holds a proportionate  ownership  interest.  In such cases, the
remaining interests are owned by AFG or an affiliated  equipment leasing program
sponsored by AFG.  Proportionate  equipment ownership enables the Partnership to
further  diversify its equipment  portfolio by participating in the ownership of
selected assets,  thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could result
from a  concentration  in any single  equipment  type,  industry or lessee.  The
Partnership  and each  affiliate  individually  report,  in  proportion to their
respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets,  liabilities,
revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment.

        In 1995, the Partnership sold equipment which had been fully depreciated
to existing  lessees and third parties.  These sales resulted in a net gain, for
financial  statement  purposes,  of  $29,196  compared  to a net gain in 1994 of
$4,572 on equipment having a net book value of $147,267,  and a net gain in 1993
of $167,492 on equipment having a net book value of $68,466.

        It cannot be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in
a net  gain or a net  loss to the  Partnership,  as  such  transactions  will be
dependent  upon  the  condition  and  type  of  equipment  being  sold  and  its
marketability  at the time of sale.  In  addition,  the  amount  of gain or loss
reported for financial  statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of
accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment being sold.

        The ultimate  realization of residual value for any type of equipment is
dependent  upon many  factors,  including  AFG's  ability  to sell and  re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions,  industry trends, technological advances,
and many other  events can  converge to enhance or detract  from asset values at
any given  time.  AFG  attempts  to monitor  these  changes in order to identify
opportunities  which may be  advantageous  to the  Partnership  and  which  will
maximize total cash returns for each asset.

        The total economic  value realized upon final  disposition of each asset
is  comprised  of all primary  lease term  revenues  generated  from that asset,
together with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds  realized
upon the  asset's  sale in  addition to all other cash  receipts  obtained  from
renting  the  asset  on  a  re-lease,   renewal  or  month-to-month  basis.  The
Partnership   classifies   such  residual  rental  payments  as  lease  revenue.
Consequently, the amount of gain or loss reported in the financial statements is
not necessarily  indicative of the total residual value the Partnership achieved
from leasing the equipment.

        Depreciation expense was $977,717, $994,884 and $1,088,489 for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,  respectively.  For financial  reporting
purposes,  to the  extent  that an  asset is held on  primary  lease  term,  the
Partnership  depreciates  the  difference  between (i) the cost of the asset and
(ii) the estimated  residual  value of the asset on a  straight-line  basis over
such term.  For purposes of this policy,  estimated  residual  values  represent
estimates of equipment  values at the date of primary lease  expiration.  To the
extent  that an asset is held beyond its primary  lease  term,  the  Partnership
continues  to  depreciate  the  remaining  net  book  value  of the  asset  on a
straight-line  basis over the asset's remaining economic life (See Note 2 to the
financial statements herein).

        Interest  expense  was  $23,910  or 1.9% of lease  revenue in 1995,  
$77,424  or 5.1% of lease  revenue in 1994 and $107,797 or 6.3% of lease revenue
in 1993.  In the future, interest expense will be minimal due to the scheduled 
maturity of the Partnership's debt obligation in 1996.

        Management  fees were 5% of lease revenue in each of the years ended 
December 31, 1995,  1994 and 1993 and will not change as a percentage of lease 
revenue in future years.

        Operating  expenses  consist  principally  of  administrative   charges,
professional  service costs,  such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing,
distribution and remarketing  expenses.  In certain cases,  equipment storage or
repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with equipment being
remarketed.  Collectively, operating expenses represented 5.4%, 3.9% and 4.3% of
lease  revenue  in 1995,  1994 and  1993,  respectively.  The  amount  of future
operating  expenses cannot be predicted with certainty;  however,  such expenses
are  usually  higher  during  the  acquisition  and  liquidation   phases  of  a
partnership.  Other  fluctuations  typically occur in relation to the volume and
timing of remarketing activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows

        The  Partnership  by its  nature  is a  limited  life  entity  which was
established for specific purposes described in the preceding  "Overview".  As an
equipment leasing program,  the  Partnership's  principal  operating  activities
derive from asset rental transactions.  Accordingly, the Partnership's principal
source of cash from  operations is provided by the collection of periodic rents.
These cash inflows are used to satisfy debt service obligations  associated with
leveraged  leases,  and to pay management  fees and operating  costs.  Operating
activities  generated net cash inflows of $1,055,003,  $1,557,450 and $1,369,458
in 1995, 1994 and 1993,  respectively.  Future  renewal,  re-lease and equipment
sale activities will cause a gradual decline in the Partnership's lease revenues
and corresponding  sources of operating cash. Overall,  expenses associated with
rental  activities,  such as management  fees,  and net cash flow from operating
activities  will decline as the  Partnership  experiences a higher  frequency of
remarketing events.

        During 1995, the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships, executed
a  renegotiated  and extended  lease  agreement in connection  with two DC-10-40
aircraft  leased by  Northwest  Airlines,  Inc.  ("Northwest').  Pursuant to the
agreement,  Northwest will continue to lease these  aircraft until  September 3,
2000.  The  Partnership,  which owns a 17.2%  interest in these  aircraft,  will
receive  $516,000  each year through  December 31, 1999 and $387,000  during the
year ending December 31, 2000.  Additionally,  the lease agreement in connection
with a SAAB SF340A  aircraft,  in which the  Partnership  has a 21.7%  ownership
interest,  is scheduled to expire in June 1996. The Partnership's  proportionate
interest  in the  aircraft  had a cost and net  book  value  of  $1,703,602  and
$327,415,  respectively,  at December 31, 1995. The General  Partner is actively
pursuing the remarketing of this aircraft.

        Ultimately, the Partnership will dispose of all assets under lease. This
will occur principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will be sold
to the  existing  lessee or to a third  party.  Generally,  this will occur upon
expiration  of  each  asset's  primary  or  renewal/re-lease  term.  In  certain
instances, casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of an
asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in the collection of
stipulated cash  settlements  pursuant to terms and conditions  contained in the
underlying lease agreements.

        Cash  realized  from  asset  disposal  transactions  is  reported  under
investing  activities on the accompanying  Statement of Cash Flows. During 1995,
the Partnership realized $29,196 in equipment sale proceeds compared to $151,839
and $235,958 in 1994 and 1993,  respectively.  Future inflows of cash from asset
disposals  will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced by many factors
including,  but not limited to, the frequency  and timing of lease  expirations,
the type of equipment  being sold,  its  condition  and age,  and future  market
conditions.

        The Partnership  obtained long-term financing in connection with certain
equipment  leases.  The  origination  of such  indebtedness  and the  subsequent
repayments of principal are reported as components of financing activities. Cash
inflows  of  $275,724  in  1993  resulted  from  leveraging  a  portion  of  the
Partnership's  equipment  portfolio with third-party  lenders.  No leveraging of
equipment occurred in 1995 or 1994.

        Each note payable is recourse  only to the specific  equipment  financed
and to the minimum  rental  payments  contracted to be received  during the debt
amortization  period (which  period  generally  coincides  with the lease rental
term). As rental payments are collected,  a portion or all of the rental payment
is used to repay the associated  indebtedness.  The amount of cash used to repay
debt in 1994  increased in contrast to the prior year as a result of  leveraging
obtained in 1993.  The  Partnership's  notes payable will be fully  amortized by
noncancellable rents in 1996.

        Cash  distributions to the General and Limited Partners are declared and
generally paid within  fifteen days following the end of each calendar  quarter.
The payment of such  distributions  is  presented  as a component  of  financing
activities. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership declared total
cash  distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash
From Sales and  Refinancings  of $802,336.  In  accordance  with the Amended and
Restated  Agreement  and  Certificate  of  Limited  Partnership  (the  "Restated
Agreement,  as  amended"),  the Limited  Partners  were  allocated  99% of these
distributions, or $794,313, and the General Partner was allocated 1%, or $8,023.
The fourth quarter 1995 cash distribution was paid on January 22, 1996.

        Cash distributions paid to the Limited Partners consist of both a return
of and a return on  capital.  To the extent that cash  distributions  consist of
Cash From Sales or Refinancings,  substantially  all of such cash  distributions
should be viewed as a return of capital. Cash distributions do not represent and
are not indicative of yield on investment.  Actual yield on investment cannot be
determined  with any certainty  until  conclusion of the Partnership and will be
dependent upon the collection of all future  contracted rents, the generation of
renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at
its disposal date. Future market conditions,  technological changes, the ability
of  AFG  to  manage  and  remarket  the  assets,   and  many  other  events  and
circumstances,  could  enhance or detract from  individual  asset yields and the
collective performance of the Partnership's equipment portfolio.

        The  future  liquidity  of the  Partnership  will be  influenced  by the
foregoing and will be greatly dependent upon the collection of contractual rents
and the outcome of residual  activities.  The General Partner  anticipates  that
cash proceeds resulting from these sources will satisfy the Partnership's future
expense  obligations.  However, the amount of cash available for distribution in
future periods will fluctuate.  Equipment lease  expirations and asset disposals
will cause the Partnership's net cash from operating activities to diminish over
time; and equipment sale proceeds will vary in amount and period of realization.
In addition,  the Partnership may be required to incur asset  refurbishment  and
upgrade costs in connection  with future  remarketing  activities.  Accordingly,
fluctuations in the level of quarterly cash  distributions will occur during the
life of the Partnership.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



To the Partners of American Income 6 Limited Partnership:

        We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of financial  position of
American  Income 6 Limited  Partnership as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the
related statements of operations,  changes in partners' capital,  and cash flows
for each of the  three  years in the  period  ended  December  31,  1995.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements 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 American Income 6
Limited  Partnership  at  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  conducted  for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic  financial   statements  taken  as  a  whole.  The  Additional   Financial
Information  identified  in the  Index  to  Annual  Report  to the  Partners  is
presented for purposes of additional  analysis and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements.  Such 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.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS

         The  Partnership  was  organized  as a  limited  partnership  under the
Massachusetts  Uniform  Limited  Partnership Act (the "Uniform Act") on June 25,
1986,  for the purpose of acquiring  and leasing to third  parties a diversified
portfolio  of  capital  equipment.  Partners'  capital  initially  consisted  of
contributions  of $1,000 each from the General  Partner (AFG Leasing  Associates
II) and the Initial  Limited  Partner (John L. Lee). The General  Partner of the
Partnership is wholly owned by American  Finance Group ("AFG"),  a Massachusetts
partnership  and its Affiliates.  On September 30, 1986, the Partnership  issued
60,519  limited  partnership  units (the  "Units")  to 1,188  Limited  Partners,
including four Units purchased by the Initial Limited  Partner.  Initially,  the
General   Partner  had  the  following  five  general   partners:   AFG  Leasing
Incorporated,  a  Massachusetts  corporation,  Kestutis J.  Makaitis,  Daniel J.
Roggemann,  Martin F.  Laughlin and  Geoffrey A.  MacDonald.  Messrs.  Makaitis,
Roggemann and Laughlin  subsequently  elected to withdraw as Individual  General
Partners.  The  General  Partner  is not  required  to make  any  other  capital
contributions except as may be required under the Uniform Act and Section 6.1(c)
of the Amended and Restated  Agreement and  Certificate  of Limited  Partnership
(the  "Restated  Agreement,  as amended").  In accordance  with the terms of the
Restated  Agreement,  as amended,  AFG purchased  1,513 Units  ($378,250) in the
Partnership,  representing 2.5% of the total capital  contributions  received by
the Partnership.  In 1995, AFG tendered all of its Units to Atlantic Acquisition
Limited Partnership (see Note 4 herein.).

         AFG is a successor to the business of American  Finance Group,  Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation engaged since its inception in 1980 in various aspects
of the equipment leasing business. In 1990, certain members of AFG's management,
principally  Geoffrey A. MacDonald,  Chief  Executive  Officer and co-founder of
AFG,  established AFG Holdings  (Massachusetts)  Limited Partnership  ("Holdings
Massachusetts") to acquire ownership and control of AFG. Holdings  Massachusetts
effected  this  event by  acquiring  all of the  equity  interests  of AFG's two
partners,  AFG Holdings Illinois Limited Partnership  ("Holdings  Illinois") and
AFG Corporation.  Holdings  Massachusetts  incurred significant  indebtedness to
finance this acquisition, a significant portion of which was scheduled to mature
in 1995.

         On December 16, 1994, the senior lender to Holdings  Massachusetts (the
"Senior Lender") assumed control of its security  interests in Holdings Illinois
and AFG  Corporation  and sold all such  interests to GDE  Acquisitions  Limited
Partnership,  a Massachusetts  limited partnership owned and controlled entirely
by Gary D. Engle,  President and member of the Executive  Committee of AFG. As a
result of this transaction, GDE Acquisitions Limited Partnership acquired all of
the assets,  rights and  obligations  of AFG from the Senior  Lender and assumed
control of AFG.  Geoffrey A. MacDonald remains as Chief Executive Officer of AFG
and member of its Executive Committee.

        Significant operations commenced September 30, 1986 when the Partnership
made its initial  equipment  purchase.  Pursuant to the Restated  Agreement,  as
amended, Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or
Refinancings will be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partner  until  Payout and 85% to the  Limited  Partners  and 15% to the General
Partner after Payout.  Payout will occur when the Limited Partners have received
distributions equal to their original investment plus a cumulative annual return
of 10% (compounded daily) on undistributed invested capital.

        Under the terms of a Management  Agreement  between the  Partnership and
AFG,  management  services are provided by AFG to the  Partnership at fees which
the General Partner believes to be competitive for similar  services.  (Also see
Note 4.)

                        Notes to the Financial Statements

                                   (Continued)

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Cash Flows

        The Partnership considers liquid investment instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  From time to time, the
Partnership  invests  excess  cash with  large  institutional  banks in  reverse
repurchase  agreements  with  overnight  maturities.  Under  the  terms  of  the
agreements,  title to the underlying  securities passes to the Partnership.  The
securities  underlying  the agreements  are book entry  securities.  The reverse
repurchase  agreements  are secured by U.S.  Treasury Bills or interests in U.S.
Government securities.

Revenue Recognition

        Rents are payable to the Partnership monthly, quarterly or semi-annually
and no  significant  amounts are calculated on factors other than the passage of
time. The leases are accounted for as operating  leases and are  noncancellable.
Rents  received  prior to their due dates are deferred.  Future minimum rents of
$3,582,551 are due as follows:


        For the year ending December 31,       1996             $     805,259
                                               1997                   756,655
                                               1998                   756,655
                                               1999                   756,655
                                               2000                   507,327

                                              Total              $  3,582,551


        Future  minimum  rents  include  lease  revenue to be  generated  from a
renegotiated and extended renewal lease agreement with Northwest Airlines,  Inc.
The renewal  agreement will generate  annual rental income to the Partnership of
approximately  $516,000 each year through December 31, 1999, and $387,000 during
the year ended December 31, 2000.

         Revenue from major  individual  lessees which  accounted for 10% or more of lease revenue  during each of the past
three years is as follows:

<S>                                                       <C>                        <C>                      <C>

Northwest Airlines, Inc.                                  $     763,508             $     887,520             $     845,724
United Technologies Corporation                           $     366,381             $     451,173             $     454,963

</TABLE>

        During  1995,  the renewal  lease  agreement  with  United  Technologies
Corporation ("United  Technologies"),  scheduled to expire on December 15, 1996,
was renogotiated to extend the renewal period through December 15, 2000.  United
Technologies leases two flight simulators which are owned in a trust between the
Partnership   and  other   affiliated   partnerships.   The   Partnership   owns
approximately  30%  of  these  assets  at  an  original  cost  of  approximately
$4,923,000.  Rents due  under  the  renegotiated  lease  are  $795,500  per year
beginning December 16, 1995. The Partnership's  pro-rata share of these rents is
$240,655 per year. At the end of the renewal  period,  the lessee has the option
to purchase the equipment for $345,900,  with the  Partnership's  share of these
proceeds being $104,642.
        During 1993, the General Partner  lowered the aggregate  amount reserved
against potentially uncollectable rents to $21,000. This resulted in an increase
in lease  revenue of $32,000 in 1993.  The reserve was reviewed  and  considered
adequate as of December 31, 1994 and 1995. It cannot be  determined  whether the
Partnership will recover any past due rents in the future;  however, the General
Partner will pursue the collection of all such items.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires the use of estimates and  assumptions
that affect the amounts  reported in the financial  statements and  accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Equipment on Lease

        All equipment was acquired  from AFG, one of its  affiliates,  including
other equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG, or from third-party  sellers.
Equipment  cost  represents  asset  base  price  plus  acquisition  fees and was
determined in accordance with the Restated  Agreement,  as amended,  and certain
regulatory  guidelines.  Asset base price is affected by the relationship of the
seller  to the  Partnership  as  summarized  herein.  Where  the  seller  of the
equipment  was AFG or an  affiliate,  asset  base price was the lower of (i) the
actual  price paid for the  equipment  by AFG or the  affiliate  plus all actual
costs accrued by AFG or the  affiliate  while  carrying the  equipment  less the
amount  of all  rents  earned  by AFG or the  affiliate  prior  to  selling  the
equipment or (ii) fair market value as determined by the General  Partner in its
best judgment,  including all liens and  encumbrances on the equipment and other
actual expenses. Where the seller of the equipment was a third party who did not
manufacture  the  equipment,  asset  base  price  was the lower of (i) the price
invoiced  by the third  party or (ii) fair  market  value as  determined  by the
General  Partner.  Where the seller of the  equipment was a third party who also
manufactured  the  equipment,  asset base price was the  manufacturer's  invoice
price, which price was considered to be representative of fair market value.

Depreciation

        The Partnership's  depreciation  policy is intended to allocate the cost
of equipment  over the period  during which it produces  economic  benefit.  The
principal period of economic benefit is considered to correspond to each asset's
primary  lease  term,  which term  generally  represents  the period of greatest
revenue  potential for each asset.  Accordingly,  to the extent that an asset is
held on primary lease term, the Partnership  depreciates the difference  between
(i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated  residual value of the asset on
a  straight-line  basis over such term.  For purposes of this policy,  estimated
residual values  represent  estimates of equipment values at the date of primary
lease  expiration.  To the extent that an asset is held beyond its primary lease
term,  the  Partnership  continues to depreciate the remaining net book value of
the asset on a  straight-line  basis over the asset's  remaining  economic life.
Periodically,  the General Partner evaluates the net carrying value of equipment
to determine whether it exceeds  estimated net realizable value.  Adjustments to
reduce the net carrying value of equipment are recorded in those instances where
estimated net realizable value is considered to be less than net carrying value.

        The ultimate  realization of residual value for any type of equipment is
dependent  upon many  factors,  including  AFG's  ability  to sell and  re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions,  industry trends, technological advances,
and many other  events can  converge to enhance or detract  from asset values at
any given  time.  AFG  attempts  to monitor  these  changes in order to identify
opportunities  which may be  advantageous  to the  Partnership  and  which  will
maximize total cash returns for each asset.



<PAGE>


Accrued Liabilities - Affiliate

        Unpaid  operating  expenses paid by AFG on behalf of the Partnership are
reported as Accrued Liabilities Affiliate. (See Note 4.)

Allocation of Profits and Losses

        For  financial  statement  purposes,  net income or loss is allocated to
each Partner  according to their  respective  ownership  percentages (99% to the
Limited  Partners  and  1% to  the  General  Partner).  See  Note  6  concerning
allocation of income or loss for income tax purposes.

Net Income and Cash Distributions Per Unit

        Net income  and cash  distributions  per Unit are based on 60,519  Units
outstanding during each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995
and computed  after  allocation of the General  Partner's 1% share of net income
and cash distributions.

Provision for Income Taxes

        No   provision   or  benefit  from  income  taxes  is  included  in  the
accompanying  financial  statements.  The Partners are responsible for reporting
their proportionate shares of the Partnership's taxable income or loss and other
tax attributes on their tax returns.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 121,  Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of,  which  requires  impairment  losses to be recorded on
long-lived  assets used in operations  when indicators of impairment are present
and the  undiscounted  cash flows  estimated to be generated by those assets are
less  than  the  assets'  carrying  amount.  Statement  121 also  addresses  the
accounting  for  long-lived  assets that are  expected  to be  disposed  of. The
Partnership  will adopt Statement 121 in the first quarter of 1996 and, based on
current circumstances, does not believe the impact of adoption to be material to
the financial statements of the Partnership.

NOTE 3 - EQUIPMENT

        The  following is a summary of  equipment  owned by the  Partnership  at
December 31, 1995. In the opinion of AFG, the acquisition  cost of the equipment

                                      Total equipment cost            12,177,042

                Equipment, net of accumulated depreciation        $   2,321,599
</TABLE>

        In certain cases, the cost of the Partnership's  equipment  represents a
proportionate ownership interest. The remaining interests are owned by AFG or an
affiliated  equipment leasing program sponsored by AFG. The Partnership and each
affiliate  individually  report,  in  proportion to their  respective  ownership
interests,  their  respective  shares  of  assets,  liabilities,  revenues,  and
expenses  associated  with  the  equipment.  Proportionate  equipment  ownership
enables  the  Partnership  to  further  diversify  its  equipment  portfolio  by
participating in the ownership of selected assets,  thereby reducing the general
levels of risk which could result from a concentration  in any single  equipment
type,  industry or lessee.  At December 31, 1995,  the  Partnership's  equipment
portfolio   included   equipment   having  a  proportionate   original  cost  of
$12,071,000, representing approximately 99% of total equipment cost.

        Certain of the equipment and related lease payment  streams were used to
secure term loans with third-party  lenders.  The preceding summary of equipment
includes leveraged equipment having an original cost of approximately $1,704,000
and a net book value of  approximately  $327,000 at December 31, 1995. (See Note
5.)

        Generally, the costs associated with maintaining, insuring and operating
the Partnership's  equipment are incurred by the respective  lessees pursuant to
terms specified in their individual lease agreements with the Partnership.

        As equipment  is sold to third  parties,  or otherwise  disposed of, the
Partnership  recognizes a gain or loss equal to the  difference  between the net
book value of the equipment at the time of sale or disposition  and the proceeds
realized  upon  sale or  disposition.  The  ultimate  realization  of  estimated
residual  value in the equipment is dependent  upon,  among other things,  AFG's
ability to maximize  proceeds from selling or re-leasing  the equipment upon the
expiration of the primary lease terms. At December 31, 1995, the Partnership was
not holding any  equipment  not subject to a lease and no equipment was held for
sale or re-lease.

        As  provided  under  the  terms  of  the  Management  Agreement,  AFG is
compensated  for its  services to the  Partnership.  Such  services  include all
aspects  of  acquisition,  management  and sale of  equipment.  For  acquisition
services, AFG is compensated by an amount equal to 4.75% of Equipment Base Price
paid by the  Partnership.  For  management  services,  AFG is  compensated by an
amount  equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of gross lease rental  revenues  earned by
the Partnership or (ii) fees which the General Partner reasonably believes to be
competitive for similar services for similar  equipment.  Both of these fees are
subject to certain limitations defined in the Management Agreement. Compensation
to AFG for services  connected to the sale of  equipment  is  calculated  as the
lesser of (i) 3% of gross sale proceeds or (ii) one-half of reasonable brokerage
fees  otherwise  payable  under  arm's  length  circumstances.  Payment  of  the
remarketing fee is subordinated to Payout and is subject to certain  limitations
defined in the Management Agreement.

        Interest expense - affiliate represents interest incurred on legal costs
in connection with a state sales tax dispute  involving  certain equipment owned
by the Partnership and other affiliated  investment  programs  sponsored by AFG.
Legal costs incurred by AFG to resolve this matter and the interest  thereon was
allocated  to  the   Partnership   and  other  affected   investment   programs.
Administrative charges represent amounts owed to AFG, pursuant to Section 9.4 of
the Restated Agreement,  as amended, for persons employed by AFG who are engaged
in providing administrative services to the Partnership.  Reimbursable operating
expenses  due to third  parties  represent  costs  paid by AFG on  behalf of the
Partnership which are reimbursed to AFG.

        All equipment was acquired  from AFG, one of its  affiliates,  including
other equipment leasing programs sponsored by AFG, or from third-party  sellers.
The Partnership's  Purchase Price was determined by the method described in Note
2.

        All rents and proceeds  from the sale of equipment  are paid directly to
either  AFG or to a  lender.  AFG  temporarily  deposits  collected  funds  in a
separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership.
At December 31, 1995,  the  Partnership  was owed $198,811 by AFG for such funds
and the  interest  thereon.  These  funds were  remitted to the  Partnership  in
January 1996.

        On August 18, 1995, Atlantic Acquisition Limited Partnership ("AALP"), a
newly formed  Massachusetts  limited partnership owned and controlled by certain
principals of AFG,  commenced a voluntary cash Tender Offer (the "Offer") for up
to  approximately  45% of the outstanding  units of limited partner  interest in
this  Partnership and 20 affiliated  partnerships  sponsored and managed by AFG.
The  Offer  was  subsequently  amended  and  supplemented  in order  to  provide
additional  disclosure  to  unitholders;  increase the offer  price;  reduce the
number of units sought to approximately 35% of the outstanding units; and extend
the expiration date of the Offer to October 20, 1995. Following  commencement of
the Offer,  certain legal actions were initiated by interested  persons  against
AALP, each of the general partners (4 in total) of the 21 affected programs, and
various other affiliates and related parties. One action, a class action brought
in the United  States  District  Court for the  District of  Massachusetts  (the
"Court") on behalf of the unitholders  (limited partners),  sought to enjoin the
Offer and obtain  unspecified  monetary damages. A settlement of this litigation
was approved by the Court on November 15, 1995. A second class  action,  brought
in the  Superior  Court of the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  (the  "Superior
Court") seeking to enjoin the Offer,  obtain unspecified  monetary damages,  and
intervene in the first class action,  was dismissed by the Superior  Court.  The
Plaintiffs  have filed an appeal in this  matter.  The  limited  partners of the
Partnership   tendered   approximately  7,791  units  or  12.87%  of  the  total
outstanding  units of the Partnership to AALP. The operations of the Partnership
are not expected to be adversely affected by these proceedings or settlements.


NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE

        Notes payable at December 31, 1995 consisted of an  installment  note of
$66,261  payable  to a  bank.  The  installment  note is  non-recourse,  with an
interest rate of 6.35% and is  collateralized by the equipment and assignment of
the related lease  payments.  The  installment  note will be fully  amortized by
noncancellable rents during the year ending December 31, 1996.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

        The Partnership is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes.
Accordingly,  no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accounts of
the Partnership.

        For financial statement purposes,  the Partnership  allocates net income
or loss to each  class  of  partner  according  to  their  respective  ownership
percentages  (99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General  Partner).  This
convention  differs from the income or loss allocation  requirements  for income
tax and Dissolution Event purposes as delineated in the Restated  Agreement,  as
amended.  For income tax purposes,  the Partnership  allocates net income or net
loss in accordance  with such  agreement.  The Restated  Agreement,  as amended,
requires that upon dissolution of the  Partnership,  the General Partner will be
required to contribute to the  Partnership  an amount equal to the lesser of (a)
any  negative  balance  which may exist in the  General  Partner's  tax  capital
account  or  (b)  the  excess  of  1.01%  of  the  total  Capital  Contributions
contributed by the Limited  Partners over the Capital  Contributions  previously
contributed by the General  Partner.  At December 31, 1995, the General  Partner
had a positive tax capital account balance.

NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On January 1, 1995,  AFG entered into a series of  agreements  with PLM
International,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  headquartered  in San  Francisco,
California   ("PLM"),   whereby  PLM  would:  (i)  purchase,   in  a  multi-step
transaction,  certain  of  AFG's  assets  and  (ii)  provide  accounting,  asset
management  and  investor  services  to AFG and  certain  of  AFG's  affiliates,
including the Partnership and all other equipment  leasing  programs  managed by
AFG (the "Investment Programs").

         On January 3,  1996,  AFG and PLM  executed  an  amendment  to the 1995
agreements  whereby PLM  purchased:  (i) AFG's lease  origination  business  and
associated  contracts,  (ii) the rights to the name "American Finance Group" and
associated logo, and (iii) certain  furniture,  fixtures and computer  software.
PLM hired AFG's  marketing force and certain other support  personnel  effective
January  1,  1996 in  connection  with  the  transaction  and  relinquished  its
responsibilities  under  the  1995  agreements  to  provide  accounting,   asset
management  and investor  services to AFG,  its  affiliates  and the  Investment
Programs after  December 31, 1995.  Accordingly,  AFG and its affiliates  retain
ownership  and control and all  authority and rights with respect to each of the
general partners or managing  trustees of the Investment  Programs;  and AFG, as
Manager,  will continue to provide  accounting,  asset  management  and investor
services to the Partnership.

         Pursuant to the 1996 amendment to the 1995 agreements,  AFG and certain
of its affiliates agreed not to compete with the lease origination business sold
to PLM for a period  of five  years.  AFG  reserved  the  right to  satisfy  all
equipment  needs  of the  Partnership  and all  other  Investment  Programs  and
reserved certain other rights not material to the  Partnership.  AFG also agreed
to change its name,  except where it is used in connection  with the  Investment
Programs.  AFG's management considers the amendment to the 1995 agreements to be
in the best interest of AFG and the Partnership.

              for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993



        The  Partnership  classifies  all rents from leasing  equipment as lease
revenue.  Upon  expiration  of the primary  lease terms,  equipment may be sold,
rented on a  month-to-month  basis or re-leased for a defined period under a new
or extended lease agreement.  The proceeds  generated from selling or re-leasing
the equipment, in addition to any month-to-month  revenues,  represent the total
residual  value  realized for each item of equipment.  Therefore,  the financial
statement gain or loss, which reflects the difference between the net book value
of the equipment at the time of sale or  disposition  and the proceeds  realized
upon sale or  disposition,  may not  reflect  the  aggregate  residual  proceeds
realized by the Partnership for such equipment.
