                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1        INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The summarized  financial  information  contained  herein is unaudited;
         however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only
         of  recurring  accruals)  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of  such
         financial  information have been included.  The accompanying  financial
         statements, footnotes and discussion should be read in conjunction with
         the financial  statements,  related footnotes and discussions contained
         in the National  Lease Income Fund 6 L.P.  (the  "Partnership")  annual
         report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1995.  The results
         of  operations  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1996 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Leases

         The  Partnership  accounts for all of its leases in accordance with the
         operating and financing methods.  For operating leases,  rental revenue
         is  recognized  on  a  straight-line   basis  and  expenses  (including
         depreciation) are charged to operations as incurred.

         For financing leases, unearned income is recognized as revenue over the
         respective lease term so as to produce a constant rate of return on the
         net  investment.  For the three  months  ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
         rental revenue earned on a month-to-month basis comprised approximately
         3% and 2%, respectively, of total rental revenue recognized.

         Leased equipment and equipment held for lease or sale

         The cost of  leased  equipment  and  equipment  held for  lease or sale
         represents  the initial cost of the equipment to the  Partnership  plus
         miscellaneous  acquisition  and  closing  costs,  and is carried at the
         lower of depreciated cost or net realizable value.

         Depreciation  is  computed  using  the  straight-line  method  over the
         estimated  useful  lives of such assets (five years for  equipment  for
         management information systems, eight years for telephone equipment and
         aerial lift platforms,  12 years for intercity buses and 13 to 18 years
         for  aircraft  and   aircraft-related   equipment).   The   Partnership
         capitalizes  major  additions  to its  aircraft  and  depreciates  such
         capital  improvements over the remaining  estimated useful life of such
         aircraft.

         When  equipment  is  sold  or  otherwise  disposed  of,  the  cost  and
         accumulated  depreciation  (and any  related  allowance  for  equipment
         impairment)  are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on such
         sale or disposal is reflected in  operations.  Normal  maintenance  and
         repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Partnership provides
         allowances for equipment  impairment  based upon a quarterly  review of
         all equipment in its portfolio,  when management  believes that,  based
         upon market analysis,  appraisal  reports and leases currently in place
         with respect to specific  equipment,  the  investment in such equipment
         may not be recoverable.

         Deferred costs

         Deferred costs  represent the payments made by the  Partnership,  based
         upon the terms of a certain lease,  for maintenance  which enhanced the
         marketability  with respect to the return of certain aircraft leased to
         Alaska Airlines, Inc. ("Alaska"). Deferred costs are amortized over the
         terms of the remarketed lease.

         Note receivable

         Note receivable  represents  financing provided by the Partnership to a
         lessee of certain  aircraft for  modifications  made to such  aircraft.
         Such note will be repaid at a rate of 9.31% per annum.

3        CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

         The corporate  general  partner of the  Partnership,  ALI Capital Corp.
         (the "Corporate General Partner"),  the managing general partner of the
         Partnership,  ALI Equipment Management Corp.  ("Equipment  Management")
         and Integrated  Resources  Equipment  Group,  Inc.  ("IREG") are wholly
         owned subsidiaries of Presidio Capital Corp.  ("Presidio").  Z Square G
         Partners  II was  the  associate  general  partner  of the  Partnership
         through February 27, 1995. On February 28, 1995,  Presidio Boram Corp.,
         a subsidiary of Presidio,  became the associate general partner.  Other
         limited  partnerships and similar investment  programs have been formed
         by Equipment  Management or its  affiliates to acquire  equipment  and,
         accordingly,  conflicts of interest may arise  between the  Partnership
         and such other limited partnerships. Affiliates of Equipment Management
         have also engaged in business  related to the  management  of equipment
         and the sale of various  types of equipment  and may transact  business
         with the Partnership.

         Subject  to the  rights  of the  Limited  Partners  under  the  Limited
         Partnership  Agreement,  Presidio will control the Partnership  through
         its direct or  indirect  ownership  of all of the  shares of  Equipment
         Management, the Corporate General Partner and, as of February 28, 1995,
         the  associate  general  partner.   Presidio  is  managed  by  Presidio
         Management Company, LLC ("Presidio  Management"),  a company controlled
         by a director of Presidio.  Presidio  Management is responsible for the
         day-to-day   management  of  Presidio  and,  among  other  things,  has
         authority to designate directors of Equipment Management, the Corporate
         General  Partner  and the  associate  general  partner.  In March 1996,
         Presidio   Management   assigned  its  agreement  for  the   day-to-day
         management of Presidio to Wexford Management LLC ("Wexford").

         Presidio is a liquidating  company.  Although Presidio has no immediate
         plans to do so, it will  ultimately seek to dispose of the interests it
         acquired from Integrated Resources, Inc. through liquidation;  however,
         there can be no  assurance  of the  timing of such  transaction  or the
         effect it may have on the Partnership.
<PAGE>
3        CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (continued)

         In March 1995, Presidio elected new directors for Equipment Management.
         Wexford  Management  Corp.,  formerly  Concurrency   Management  Corp.,
         provides management and administrative services to Presidio, its direct
         and indirect  subsidiaries,  as well as to the  Partnership.  Effective
         January 1, 1996,  Wexford  Management  Corp.  assigned its agreement to
         provide  management  and  administrative  services to Presidio  and its
         subsidiaries  to Wexford.  During the three months ended March 31, 1996
         reimbursable expenses to Wexford by the Partnership amounted to $9,800.

         The Partnership has a management agreement with IREG, pursuant to which
         IREG would  receive 5% of annual  gross  rental  revenues on  operating
         leases;  2% of annual gross rental revenues on full payout leases which
         contain net lease provisions; and 1% of annual gross rental revenues if
         services are performed by third parties under the active supervision of
         Equipment Management,  as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement.
         The  Partnership  incurred  equipment  management  fees of $38,080  and
         $63,435  for  the  three   months   ended  March  31,  1996  and  1995,
         respectively.

         During  the  operating  and  sale  stage  of the  Partnership,  IREG is
         entitled to a partnership  management fee equal to 4% of  distributable
         cash from operations as defined in the Limited  Partnership  Agreement,
         subject to increase  after the limited  partners have received  certain
         specified minimum returns on their investment. The Partnership incurred
         partnership management fees of $24,000 and $48,000 for the three months
         ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         The general  partners  are  entitled to 1% of  distributable  cash from
         operations,  cash from sales or financing  and cash from the  equipment
         reserve  account and, in general,  an  allocation  of 1% of taxable net
         income or loss of the Partnership.

         During the operating and liquidating stage of the Partnership, IREG may
         be entitled to receive certain other fees which are subordinated to the
         receipt by the limited partners of their original  invested capital and
         certain specified minimum returns on their investment.

         Upon the ultimate liquidation of the Partnership,  the general partners
         may  be  required  to  remit  to  the  Partnership   certain   payments
         representing  capital account deficit  restoration based upon a formula
         provided within the Limited  Partnership  Agreement.  Such  restoration
         amount may be less than the recorded general partners'  deficit,  which
         could  result in  distributions  to the  limited  partners of less than
         recorded equity.

         In April 1995, Equipment Management and certain affiliates entered into
         an agreement with Fieldstone Private Capital Group, L.P. ("Fieldstone")
         pursuant  to  which   Fieldstone   performs   certain   management  and
         administrative  services relating to the Partnership as well as certain
         other  partnerships  in which  Equipment  Management  serves as general
         partner.  Substantially  all costs  associated  with the  retention  of
         Fieldstone will be paid by Equipment Management.

4        DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS

         Distributions  payable to the Limited  Partners and General Partners of
         $750,013 ($2.50 per unit) and $7,575, respectively,  at March 31, 1996,
         were paid in May 1996.

5        EQUIPMENT SALES - 1996

         From  January  1 to  March  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  sold  certain
         equipment  for  management  information  systems and  telecommunication
         equipment (originally accounted for as operating and financing leases),
         which it had  originally  purchased  for  purchase  prices  aggregating
         $1,785,997  inclusive of associated  acquisition  fees, to unaffiliated
         third parties for an aggregate sales price of $196,829.  Such equipment
         had net carrying  values  aggregating  $251,764 (net of allowances  for
         equipment  impairment  aggregating  $122,997  provided in prior periods
         with respect to such equipment) when sold.

6        COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         (a)   Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.

         On September 21, 1993, Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. ("Hawaiian"),  filed for
         reorganization  under Chapter 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy  Code
         (the "Bankruptcy  Code").  Hawaiian had leased two Rolls Royce aircraft
         engines (the "Hawaiian Engines"),  owned by the Partnership,  under two
         separate engine leases (the "Hawaiian  Leases").  The Hawaiian  Engines
         were not encumbered by third party debt.

         Hawaiian had suffered  serious  financial  difficulties  since at least
         1990 and had,  through June 1994,  made rental  payments that were less
         than  the  scheduled  amounts  due,  based  on  a  series  of  proposed
         restructuring  plans whereby  lease  rentals under the Hawaiian  Leases
         were reduced.

         In September 1993, the Partnership  discovered that one of the Hawaiian
         Engines had been substantially  damaged and was of nominal net carrying
         value.  Although such engine was held in storage by Hawaiian,  Hawaiian
         continued  to  remit  payments  on  such  engine  as if it was in  use.
         Further,  in March 1994, the  Partnership was notified by Hawaiian that
         the  second  engine  was  also in  storage  and in need of  substantial
         repairs (estimated by the Partnership to cost approximately  $800,000).
         Hawaiian  continued to remit weekly  payments  relating to the Hawaiian
         Engines through June 9, 1994.

         On June 27, 1994,  Hawaiian filed a motion with the bankruptcy court to
         reject the Hawaiian  Leases and on July 11, 1994, the bankruptcy  court
         approved such motion.

         The  Partnership  had filed proofs of claims in  Hawaiian's  bankruptcy
         case.  Hawaiian and the  Partnership  have entered into an agreement to
         settle the  Partnership's  claims with respect to the Hawaiian Engines.
         Hawaiian has settled the claims  through the issuance of Hawaiian stock
         to the Partnership  (see Note 7). The Partnership  anticipates  that it
         will  encounter  severe  competition in attempting to sell the Hawaiian
         Engines  due to  their  condition  as well as due to a  surplus  in the
         market with respect to such engines.  Hawaiian  emerged from bankruptcy
         on September 12, 1994.
<PAGE>
6        COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

         (a)   Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (continued)

         At  March  31,  1996,  the  Hawaiian  Engines  (net of  allowances  for
         equipment impairment  aggregating $2,595,000 provided in prior periods)
         were fully  depreciated and are all included in Equipment held for sale
         or lease.

         (b)   Continental Micronesia, Inc.

         On March 31, 1993, the Partnership  leased two Boeing 727-227  Advanced
         aircraft to Continental  Airlines,  Inc.  ("Continental") for a term of
         approximately  69 months  to be used by  Continental's  Air  Micronesia
         operation (the "Air Mike Leases").

         Such aircraft had been  originally  leased to Alaska through August 14,
         1992. In conjunction with the return of such aircraft by Alaska, it was
         determined that certain  physical  attributes of the aircraft  exceeded
         the related minimum return conditions  provided for in the leases. As a
         result, the Partnership paid Alaska  approximately  $647,000 to reflect
         the  value  associated  with  such  attributes.  Such  amount  has been
         reflected on the balance sheets, net of amortization, at March 31, 1996
         and December 31, 1995, as Deferred Costs and will be amortized over the
         term of the lease renewal with Continental.

         Each Air Mike  Lease  provides  for a  monthly  base  rent of  $69,250,
         subject  to  adjustments   for  rental  credits   relating  to  initial
         modifications  (the  "Initial  Modifications")  which  include  Traffic
         Collision Avoidance Systems, windshear detection and upgraded avionics,
         aggregating   approximately   $1,308,000   for  both   aircraft.   Such
         modifications  were funded by  Continental  and are being repaid by the
         Partnership  through  the  application  of  rental  credits  such  that
         Continental will recoup the aggregate cost of the Initial Modifications
         over a 36-month  period with  interest at 9.31% per annum.  As of March
         31, 1996, the remaining  balance of credit to be applied by Continental
         towards  such  modification  costs was  approximately  $251,000 and was
         included on the balance sheet as Deferred Aircraft Upgrade Payable.

         Further,  Continental  has made  certain  other  modifications  to such
         aircraft  for which the  Partnership  has agreed to  provide  financing
         through  credits  ("Lessor  Financing  Credits")  against  base  rental
         payments due under the Air Mike Leases.  The lessee will then repay any
         Lessor  Financing  Credits through monthly  installments  which will be
         amortized at the rate of 9.31% per annum over 36 months.  Through March
         31, 1996,  the  Partnership  had  provided  all the required  financing
         aggregating  approximately  $1,443,000.  Such  amount,  net of  amounts
         repaid,  was  reflected on the balance  sheet at March 31, 1996 as Note
         Receivable.  At March 31, 1996, the net carrying value of both aircraft
         aggregated  approximately  $8,524,000  (net of allowances for equipment
         impairment  aggregating  approximately  $10,000,000  provided  in prior
         periods).
<PAGE>
6        COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

         (c)   Skyhook, Inc.

         In December  1989,  Skyhook,  Inc.,  the lessee of certain  aerial lift
         platforms,  defaulted  on its lease with the  Partnership  and  shortly
         thereafter  filed for  protection  from its  creditors  pursuant to the
         provisions  of Chapter 11 of the United  States  Bankruptcy  Code.  The
         Partnership recovered and disposed of all of the aerial lift platforms.
         The lease had been  guaranteed by the  individual  owner of the lessee.
         The Partnership has filed suit against the individual  guarantor in New
         York  State  Supreme  Court,  Westchester  County.  The  equipment  was
         originally purchased for a price of approximately $1,523,000 (inclusive
         of  associated  acquisition  fees  and  expenses).   During  1993,  the
         guarantor  served  an  amended  answer  and  counterclaim  against  the
         Partnership   alleging  lack  of  commercial   reasonableness   in  the
         Partnership's  disposition of the equipment and that the original lease
         transaction was usurious.  The amended answer and  counterclaim  sought
         approximately $1,200,000 in damages. In March 1996, the Partnership and
         the defendant  settled the  litigation.  The settlement  provides for a
         payment of $7,000 to the  Partnership  and a full and final  release of
         any claims against the Partnership.  The action has been dismissed with
         prejudice.

         (d)   Southwest Airlines Co.

         On November  30,  1994,  the leases with the  Southwest  Airlines,  Co.
         ("Southwest") of two Boeing 737-200 aircraft (the "Southwest Aircraft")
         were scheduled to expire in accordance with their original  terms.  The
         associated  nonrecourse  debt was repaid  upon the receipt of the final
         rental  installment.  Southwest  and the  Partnership  agreed to extend
         Southwest's  leases  for one  additional  year  for a  monthly  rent of
         approximately 28% of the original lease rate. The Partnership  provided
         an allowance for equipment impairment of $750,000 to recognize the loss
         in value of such aircraft for the year ended December 31, 1994.

         On  November  30,  1995,  the  lease  extensions  with  Southwest  were
         scheduled to expire in accordance  with their terms.  Southwest and the
         Partnership agreed to a two year extension of each lease which provides
         for monthly rental of 125% of the previous lease rate.

         The  net  carrying   value  of  the   Southwest   Aircraft   aggregated
         approximately   $4,563,000  (net  allowance  for  equipment  impairment
         aggregating approximately $10,400,000 previously provided) at March 31,
         1996.

7        REALIZED GAIN ON ACQUISITION AND SALE OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES

         In June 1995, the Partnership  received  approximately 86,000 shares of

         consideration of its general  unsecured claims filed against  Hawaiian.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Partnership  declared  a cash  distribution  of $2.50  per unit of  limited
partnership interest totaling $757,588 for the three months ended March 31, 1996
(the "1996  Period"),  which  represented  cash from  operations of $560,759 and
sales of $196,829 generated during the current period. As of March 31, 1996, the
Partnership  had  operating  reserves  of  approximately  $1,634,000,  which was
comprised of  undistributed  cash from  operations and sales,  of  approximately
$134,000, as well as the general working capital reserve of $1,500,000.

The leasing  arrangements  entered into by the  Partnership  with respect to its
equipment generally provided for fixed or minimum rentals,  and as such, provide
reasonable  assurance that all of the  Partnership's  operating  needs,  such as
administrative costs and management fees, will be met in the foreseeable future.

Although  expenses levels have been reduced,  the Partnership  anticipates  that
most of its  future  administrative  expenses  (i.e.,  accounting  and  investor
services  including  printing)  are  fixed and will not  decrease  significantly
during  the  Partnership's  future  operating  period.  Other  expenses  such as
insurance and fees to affiliate will decline during such period.

Set forth below is a description of various transactions which have impacted the
liquidity of the Partnership during 1996 and 1995:

(i)      On September 21, 1993, Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. ("Hawaiian"),  filed for
         reorganization  under Chapter 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy Code.
         Hawaiian had leased two Rolls Royce  aircraft  engines  (the  "Hawaiian
         Engines"),  owned by the Partnership,  under two separate engine leases
         (the "Hawaiian  Leases").  The Hawaiian  Engines were not encumbered by
         third party debt.

         Hawaiian had suffered  serious  financial  difficulties  since at least
         1990 and had,  through June 1994,  made rental  payments that were less
         than  the  scheduled  amounts  due,  based  on  a  series  of  proposed
         restructuring  plans whereby  lease  rentals under the Hawaiian  Leases
         were reduced.  Hawaiian has continued to remit weekly payments relating
         to the Hawaiian Engines through June 9, 1994.

         On June 27, 1994,  Hawaiian filed a motion with the bankruptcy court to
         reject the Hawaiian  Leases and on July 11, 1994, the bankruptcy  court
         approved such motion.

         The  Partnership  had filed proofs of claims in  Hawaiian's  bankruptcy
         case.  Hawaiian emerged from bankruptcy on September 12, 1994. Hawaiian
         and  the   Partnership   entered   into  an  agreement  to  settle  the
         Partnership's claims with respect to the Hawaiian Engines. Hawaiian has
         settled  the claims  through  the  issuance  of  Hawaiian  stock to the
         Partnership.  In June  1995,  the  Partnership  received  approximately
         86,000  shares  of Class A Common  stock  in the  reorganized  Hawaiian
         Airlines,  Inc., in consideration of its general unsecured claims filed
         against Hawaiian.  During 1995, the Partnership sold all shares for net
         proceeds aggregating $398,377. The Partnership anticipates that it will
         encounter severe competition in attempting to sell the Hawaiian Engines
         due to their  condition  as well as due to a surplus in the market with
         respect to such engines.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

(i) (continued)

         At  March  31,  1996,  the  Hawaiian  Engines  (net of  allowances  for
         equipment impairment  aggregating  $2,595,000 previously provided) were
         fully depreciated.

(ii)     On March 31, 1993, the  Partnership  leased two Boeing 727-227  Advance
         aircraft to Continental  Airlines,  Inc.  ("Continental") for a term of
         approximately  69 months  to be used by  Continental's  Air  Micronesia
         operation (the "Air Mike Leases").

         Such  aircraft  had been  originally  leased to Alaska  Airlines,  Inc.
         ("Alaska")  through August 14, 1992. In conjunction  with the return of
         such aircraft,  it was determined that certain  physical  attributes of
         the aircraft  exceeded the related minimum return  conditions  provided
         for  in  the  leases.   As  a  result,   the  Partnership  paid  Alaska
         approximately  $647,000  to  reflect  the  value  associated  with such
         attributes.  Such amount has been  reflected on the balance sheets on a
         gross basis,  net of  amortization,  at March 31, 1996 and December 31,
         1995,  as  Deferred  Costs and will be  amortized  over the term of the
         lease renewal with Continental.

         Each Air Mike  Lease  provides  for a  monthly  base  rent of  $69,250,
         subject  to  adjustments   for  rental  credits   relating  to  initial
         modifications  (the  "Initial  Modifications")  which  include  Traffic
         Collision Avoidance Systems, windshear detection and upgraded avionics,
         aggregating   approximately   $1,308,000   for  both   aircraft.   Such
         modifications  were funded by  Continental  and are being repaid by the
         Partnership  through  the  application  of  rental  credits  such  that
         Continental will recoup the aggregate cost of the Initial Modifications
         over a 36-month  period with  interest at 9.31% per annum.  As of March
         31, 1996, the remaining  balance of credit to be applied by Continental
         towards such  modifications  costs was  approximately  $251,000 and was
         included on the balance sheets as Deferred Aircraft Upgrade Payable.

         Further,  Continental  has  made  certain  other  modifications  to the
         aircraft  for which the  Partnership  has agreed to  provide  financing
         through  credits  ("Lessor  Financing  Credits")  against  base  rental
         payments due under the Air Mike Leases.  The lessee will then repay any
         Lessor  Financing  Credits  through  monthly  payments  which  will  be
         amortized at the rate of 9.31% per annum over 36 months.  Through March
         31,  1996,  the   Partnership   had  provided   financing   aggregating
         approximately  $1,443,000.  Such  amount,  net of amounts  repaid,  was
         reflected on the balance sheet at March 31, 1996 as Note Receivable. At
         March 31, 1996,  the net  carrying  value of both  aircraft  aggregated
         approximately  $8,524,000  (net of allowances for equipment  impairment
         aggregating approximately $10,000,000 provided in prior periods).

(iii)    On  November  30,  1994,  the  leases  with  Southwest  Airlines,   Co.
         ("Southwest") of two Boeing 737-200 aircraft (the "Southwest Aircraft")
         were scheduled to expire in accordance with their original  terms.  The
         associated  nonrecourse  debt was repaid  upon the receipt of the final
         rental  installment  for the  initial  lease  term.  Southwest  and the
         Partnership agreed to extend Southwest's leases for one additional year
         for a monthly rent of approximately  28% of the original lease rate. On
         November 30, 1995,  the  extensions  with  Southwest  were scheduled to
         expire  in  accordance   with  their  terms,   and  Southwest  and  the
         Partnership  agreed to extend the leases  for two  additional  years at
         125% of the current  lease rate.  At March 31,  1996,  the net carrying
         value of the Southwest  Aircraft  aggregated  approximately  $4,563,000
         (net of allowances for equipment impairment  aggregating of $10,400,000
         previously provided).

(iv)     On October 31, 1994, the lease with Simmons Airlines,  Inc. ("Simmons")
         of  two  Shorts  360  aircraft  (the  "Simmons  Aircraft")  expired  in
         accordance with its original terms. The associated nonrecourse debt was
         repaid upon the receipt of the final rental installment. In conjunction
         with the return of the Simmons Aircraft, it was determined that certain
         attributes  of two of the engines were below  certain  thresholds.  The
         Partnership contributed  approximately $133,000 in order to enhance the
         value of such engines. In April 1995, the Simmons Aircraft were sold to
         an unaffiliated third party for net sales proceeds of $1,425,000.  Such
         aircraft had net carrying values aggregating  approximately  $1,493,000
         (net of allowances for equipment  impairment  aggregating of $2,930,000
         previously provided) when sold.

(v)      On July 31, 1995 the lease with Aloha  Airlines,  Inc.  ("Aloha") for a
         Boeing 737-200 Advanced  aircraft was scheduled to expire in accordance
         with its  original  terms.  The  Partnership  and Aloha  entered into a
         short-term  lease  extension  of a  maximum  of two  and a half  months
         terminating on October 15, 1995.  During the lease extension Aloha paid
         rent on a  utilization  arrangement  based  on $225  per  cycle  with a
         monthly  minimum  of $53,500  and a monthly  maximum  of  $90,000.  The
         Partnerships had the option, which it exercised, to early terminate the
         lease on  September  7, 1995.  Aloha paid the  Partnership  a financial
         adjustment  of  $515,000  in  lieu of  complying  with  certain  return
         conditions  provided  for in the lease.  Aloha also made an  additional
         payment of $15,000 for a damaged  Auxiliary  Power Unit.  In  September
         1995, the Partnership sold the Aloha aircraft to an unaffiliated  third
         party for net sales  proceeds of  $2,461,000.  Such  aircraft had a net
         carrying  value of  approximately  $2,719,000  (net of  allowances  for
         equipment  impairment  aggregating of $3,500,000  previously  provided)
         when sold.

As of March 31, 1996,  the  Partnership  remained the owner of four aircraft and
related  engines  as well  as two  additional  aircraft  engines,  which  in the
aggregate  represented  approximately  98% of  its  remaining  equipment,  on an
original cost basis. Such foregoing aircraft and engines had an original cost of
approximately $56,820,000 (net carrying value of approximately $13,088,000). All
associated nonrecourse debt related to the aircraft has been repaid.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

The  substantial  costs  required  to  maintain  and bring  used  aircraft  into
compliance with FAA noise and maintenance  requirements  are the primary factors
which have adversely  affected the narrow body aircraft market.  The Partnership
has  encountered  severe  competition  in attempting to re-lease its aircraft as
they have come off lease due to a surplus in the market of narrow-body  aircraft
similar  to the  aircraft  owned  by the  Partnership.  Additionally,  there  is
competition  from newer and more fuel  efficient  aircraft which comply with the
FAA noise  requirements.  The Partnership  also believes that as a result of the
factors  listed above there has been a significant  decline in the re-sale value
of narrow-body aircraft.

As the Partnership's aircraft come off-lease,  the Partnership may need to use a
portion of its operating reserves and/or its cash flow, which would otherwise be
available  for  distribution,  to  upgrade  or  enhance  these  aircraft  if the
Partnership  determines that such expenditures are in its best interest in order
to maximize the  remarketing  value.  The  Partnership  is currently  evaluating
strategies,  including  potential  engine  upgrades  to conform  to  regulations
covering maintenance and upgrading of aging aircraft.  The Partnership's ability
to make distributions may be impacted by its obligation to pay such costs.

At March 31, 1996,  the  Partnership  remained  the owner of  equipment  with an
original cost of approximately  $57,709,000 of which approximately $4,440,000 is
off-lease and approximately  $338,000 is leased on a month-to-month  basis (both
on an original cost basis).  The  Partnership  will continue with its efforts to
maximize  the value of its  remaining  equipment  portfolio.  The  Partnership's
anticipated  cash from  operations  after deducting  operating  expenses for the
remainder  of 1996,  based on firm term leases in place,  is not  sufficient  to
maintain previous distribution levels.  Distribution levels will fluctuate based
upon remarketing  success of the Partnership's  equipment including any proceeds
generated by the sale of significant  assets (such as aircraft) and requirements
for operating reserves, if any.

At the present time, the level of fees payable to IREG for services  rendered to
the  Partnership  and  other  affiliated   equipment  leasing   partnerships  is
declining.  The effect of this situation cannot be determined at this point. The
management  agreements  between the  Partnership  and IREG may be  terminated by
either party to such agreements.

In April 1995, the Managing General Partner and certain  affiliates entered into
an agreement  with  Fieldstone  pursuant to which  Fieldstone  performs  certain
management and  administrative  services  relating to the Partnership as well as
certain  other  partnerships  in which the Managing  General  Partner  serves as
general  partner.  Substantially  all costs  associated  with the  retention  of
Fieldstone will be paid by the Managing General Partner.

On February 28, 1995, Presidio Boram Corp., a subsidiary of Presidio, became the
Associate  General  Partner,  upon the withdrawal of Z Square G Partners II, the
former Associate General Partner.

Inflation  and  changing  prices  have  not  had  any  material  effect  on  the
Partnership's  revenues since its inception nor does the Partnership  anticipate
any material effect on its business from these factors.
<PAGE>
Results of Operations

Net income  decreased  for the three  months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
the three months ended March 31,  1995,  as the  reduction in revenue and (loss)
gain on disposition of equipment exceeded the reduction in expenses.

Revenues decreased overall for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to
the  corresponding  period of the prior year. Rental income decreased due to the
expiration  of certain  leases in  accordance  with the  original  terms of such
leases  subsequent to the prior year's  period.  The sale of the Aloha  aircraft
prior to the current period accounted for  approximately 85% of the total rental
income reduction.

Interest  income on finance leases  decreased due to expiration of all leases in
accordance with the original lease terms and sale of equipment subsequent to the
prior year's period.

Expenses  decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the
corresponding period of the prior year as follows:

Fees to affiliates  decreased due to the decrease in equipment  management  fees
resulting from a reduction in rentals on which such fees are based;

Depreciation  expense  decreased due to the elimination of depreciation  expense
resulting from the disposition or sale of certain equipment during or subsequent
to the prior year's  period,  as well as to the fact that certain  equipment was
fully  depreciated  during or prior to the current year's period.  Additionally,
the Partnership provided allowances for equipment impairment in the prior year's
period not incurred in the current year.  Loss on the  disposition  of equipment
was  approximately  $55,000 for the current  period as compared to a net gain of
approximately $331,000 in the prior period.

Operating  expenses decreased due to expenses relating to the return and storage
of the Simmons Aircraft in the prior period;  interest expense  decreased due to
increased  principal  payments on Air Mike rent  credits in the current  period;
offset by an increase in general and administrative  expense due to higher level
costs in conjunction with the settlement of the Skyhook litigation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 -   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


(i)      During December 1989, Skyhook,  Inc., the lessee of certain aerial lift
         platforms,  defaulted  on its lease with the  Partnership  and  shortly
         thereafter  filed for  protection  from its  creditors  pursuant to the
         provisions  of  Chapter  11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code.  The  Partnership
         recovered and disposed of all of the aerial lift  platforms.  The lease
         had  been  guaranteed  by  the  individual  owner  of the  lessee.  The
         Partnership  filed suit  against the  individual  guarantor in New York
         State Supreme Court,  Westchester  County. The equipment was originally
         acquired for a purchase price of approximately $1,523,000 (inclusive of
         associated  acquisition fees and expenses).  During 1993, the guarantor
         served an amended  answer and  counterclaim  against  the  Partnership,
         alleging  lack  of  commercial   reasonableness  in  the  Partnership's
         disposition  of the equipment and that the original  lease  transaction
         was usurious.  The amended answer and counterclaim sought approximately
         $1,200,000 in damages. In March 1996, the Partnership and the defendant
         settled the litigation. The settlement provides for a payment of $7,000
         to the  Partnership  and a full and final release of any claims against
         the Partnership. The action has been dismissed with prejudice.

(ii)     The Partnership filed proofs of claims in the Hawaiian  Airlines,  Inc.
         ("Hawaiian")  bankruptcy  case  covering the  outstanding  rentals from
         October 2, 1990  through  September  21, 1993 and covering the casualty
         value of the damaged engine, as well as administrative  claims covering
         the use of a second engine (collectively, the "Hawaiian Engines") and a
         McDonnell  Douglas  DC-9-51  aircraft  (the  "Hawaiian  Aircraft")  for
         periods  subsequent to September 21, 1993. The proofs of claims and the
         administrative  claims  also  included  claims  for any  other  damages
         resulting from Hawaiian's  actions with respect to the Hawaiian Engines
         and the Hawaiian Aircraft either pre- or post-petition.  Because of the
         foreclosure on the Hawaiian  Aircraft,  the  Partnership  has agreed to
         withdraw  its claims as to the  Hawaiian  Aircraft,  since the Hawaiian
         Lender filed  substantially  duplicate  claims.  Hawaiian  emerged from
         bankruptcy on September 12, 1994.  Hawaiian and the Partnership entered
         into an  agreement to settle the  Partnership`s  claims with respect to
         the  Hawaiian  Engines.  Hawaiian  has settled  the claims  through the
         issuance  of  Hawaiian  stock to the  Partnership.  In June  1995,  the
         Partnership  received  approximately  86,000  shares  of Class A Common
         stock in the reorganized  Hawaiian Airlines,  Inc., in consideration of
         its general unsecured claims filed against  Hawaiian.  During 1995, the
         Partnership sold all shares for net proceeds aggregating $398,377.
