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 discussions 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, 1997. The
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 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.
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 computer
equipment 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.
The allowance is inherently subjective and is based upon management's
best estimate of current conditions and assumptions about expected
future conditions. The Partnership may provide for additional losses in
subsequent periods and such losses could be material.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 was repaid in January 1998 with interest 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 controls the Partnership through its
direct or indirect ownership of all of the shares of Equipment
Management, the Corporate General Partner and the associate general
partner. Effective July 31, 1998, Presidio is indirectly controlled by
NorthStar Capital Investment Corp., a Maryland corporation. Effective
as of August 28, 1997, Presidio entered into a management agreement
with NorthStar Presidio Management Company, LLC ("NorthStar Presidio")
pursuant to which NorthStar Presidio provides the day-to-day management
of Presidio and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, reimbursable expenses
due to NorthStar Presidio from the Partnership amounted to $9,172.
The Partnership has a management agreement with IREG, pursuant to which
IREG receives 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 $73,991 and
$108,194 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
<PAGE>
NATIONAL LEASE INCOME FUND 6 L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (continued)
During the operating and liquidating stage of the Partnership, IREG is
entitled to a partnership management fee equal to 4% of 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 $126,000 and $29,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.
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 performed certain management and
administrative services relating to the Partnership as well as certain
other partnerships in which Equipment Management serves as general
partner. Fieldstone continued to perform such services until July 31,
1998.
4 DISTRIBUTION TO PARTNERS
Distribution payable to the Limited Partners and General Partners of
$3,720,062 ($12.40 per unit) and $37,576, respectively, at September
30, 1998 were paid in November 1998.
5 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
a. 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
<PAGE>
NATIONAL LEASE INCOME FUND 6 L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
5 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
a. Continental Micronesia, Inc. (continued)
operation (the "Air Mike Leases"). Each Air Mike Lease provided for a
monthly base rent of $69,250, subject to adjustments for rent 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 were repaid
by the Partnership through the application of rent credits such that
Continental recouped the aggregate cost of the Initial Modifications
over a 36-month period with interest at 9.31% per annum.
In addition, Continental has made certain other modifications to such
aircraft. The Partnership provided financing for the rent credits
("Lessor Financing Credits") against the base rental payments due under
the Air Mike Leases. The lessee repaid Lessor Financing Credits through
monthly installments which were amortized at the rate of 9.31% per
annum over 36 months. Through September 30, 1998, the Partnership had
provided financing aggregating approximately $1,308,000. As discussed
in Note 6, the Partnership sold one of the aircraft to an unaffiliated
third party during the third quarter of 1998. Additionally, the
Partnership has agreed to extend the term of the lease with respect to
the second aircraft until December 31, 1999 at the same lease rate. The
net carrying value of the aircraft aggregated $3,327,375 (one aircraft)
and $7,215,657 (two aircraft) (net of allowances for equipment
impairment aggregating $5,004,725 and $10,009,450 provided in prior
periods) at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.
In April 1993, Continental transferred all of its rights and
obligations under the Air Mike Leases to Air Micronesia, a stand-alone
air carrier affiliated with Continental.
b. Tax assessment
In July 1998, the Partnership received proposed notices of assessment
from the State of Hawaii with respect to general excise tax ("GET")
aggregating approximately $1,757,000 (including interest and penalties)
for the years 1987 through 1995. The state is alleging that GET is owed
by the Partnership with respect to rents received from Aloha Airlines,
Inc. ("Aloha") and Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. ("Hawaiian") under the
leases between the Partnership and each of the airlines.
The leases with both Aloha and Hawaiian provided for full
indemnification of the Partnership for such taxes, but the bankruptcy
of Hawaiian may relieve Hawaiian of its indemnification obligation for
any periods prior to September 21, 1993, when Hawaiian and its
affiliates sought bankruptcy protection. In any event, it is the
Partnership, as taxpayer, which is ultimately liable for GET, if it is
applicable.
<PAGE>
NATIONAL LEASE INCOME FUND 6 L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
5 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
b. Tax assessment (continued)
The State of Hawaii has not previously applied the GET to rentals
received by a lessor of aircraft where the lessor's only contact with
the State of Hawaii is that it has leased its aircraft to airlines
which are based in the state. Aloha and Hawaiian, as well as the
Partnership, have separately engaged tax counsel and both airlines are
cooperating with the Partnership in vigorously contesting the proposed
assessments.
Final notices of assessment have not yet been issued. Although there
can be no assurance that the contest of the assessments will be
successful, the Partnership believes that the state's position on the
applicability of GET in this instance is without merit. The Partnership
has not recorded any provision or liability as a result of the proposed
notices of assessment.
6. AIRCRAFT SALE
On September 23, 1998, the Partnership closed the sale of one Boeing
727-227 aircraft to an unaffiliated third party for proceeds of
$3,893,000, exclusive of selling expenses of approximately $130,000. At
the time of sale, the aircraft had a net carrying value of
approximately $3,405,000 at the time of sale.
<PAGE>
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 $12.40 per unit of limited
partnership interest totaling $3,757,638 which was paid in November 1998. After
giving effect to the foregoing distribution, the Partnership had cash available
of approximately $2,051,000, inclusive of the original general working capital
reserve of $1,500,000.
As the Partnership's aircraft come off-lease, the Partnership may need to use
cash 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 of such aircraft.
Furthermore, because of market conditions, the Partnership may be required to
bear some of the related costs of compliance with mandatory federal regulations
covering maintenance and upgrading of aging aircraft.
The anticipated cash flow for the remainder of 1998, together with available
reserves, 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. The Partnership's ability to make future distributions will
be impacted by its obligation to pay such costs.
Set forth below is a description of various transactions which have impacted the
liquidity of the Partnership during 1998 and 1997:
(i) 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").
Each Air Mike Lease provided 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 were repaid by the
Partnership through the application of rental credits such that
Continental recouped the aggregate cost of the Initial Modifications
over a 36-month period with interest at 9.31% per annum.
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 repaid any Lessor
Financing Credits through monthly payments which were amortized at the
rate of 9.31% per annum over 36 months. Through September 30, 1998, the
Partnership had provided financing aggregating approximately $1,308,000
and all of such amount have been repaid.
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership
collected proceeds of approximately $3,763,000 or $12.42 per Unit from
the sale of one of the two aircraft leased to Continental as discussed
in Note 6. Additionally, the Partnership has agreed to extend the lease
of the second aircraft until December 31, 1999 at the same lease rate.
At September 30, 1998, the net carrying value of the one remaining
aircraft aggregated $3,327,375 (net of allowances for equipment
impairment aggregating $5,004,725 provided in prior periods).
(ii) On December 5, 1997, the leases of two Boeing 737-200 aircraft (the
"Southwest Aircraft") were scheduled to expire in accordance with their
terms. The Partnership and Southwest agreed to a short term extension
of such leases to facilitate the orderly return of the Aircraft. In
January 1998, one of the aircraft was returned and the second was
returned in August 1998. At September 30, 1998, the net carrying value
of the Southwest Aircraft aggregated $2,463,880 (net of allowances for
equipment impairment aggregating $10,400,000 previously provided).
As of September 30, 1998, the Partnership remained the owner of three aircraft
and related engines as well as additional aircraft engine components, which in
the aggregate represented 100% of its remaining equipment, on an original cost
basis. Such aircraft and engine had an original cost of approximately
$40,630,000 (net carrying value of approximately $5,790,000). All associated
nonrecourse debt related to the aircraft has been repaid.
The Partnership intends to attempt to sell the three remaining aircraft as
promptly as possible with a view towards liquidating the Partnership's entire
portfolio and winding up the business of the Partnership prior to the end of
1999.
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 July 1998, the Partnership received a proposed notices of assessment from the
State of Hawaii with respect to general excise tax ("GET") aggregating
approximately $1,757,000 (including interest and penalties) for the years 1987
through 1995. The state is alleging that GET is owed by the Partnership with
respect to rents received from Aloha Airlines, Inc. ("Aloha") and Hawaiian
Airlines, Inc. ("Hawaiian") under the leases between the Partnership and each of
the airlines.
The leases with both Aloha and Hawaiian provided for full indemnification of the
Partnership for such taxes, but the bankruptcy of Hawaiian may relieve Hawaiian
of its indemnification obligation for any periods prior to September 21, 1993,
when Hawaiian and its affiliates sought bankruptcy protection. In any event, it
is the Partnership, as taxpayer, which is ultimately liable for GET, if it is
applicable.
The State of Hawaii has not previously applied the GET to rentals received by a
lessor of aircraft where the lessor's only contact with the State of Hawaii is
that it has leased its aircraft to airlines which are based in the state. Aloha
and Hawaiian, as well as the Partnership, have separately engaged tax counsel
and both airlines are cooperating with the Partnership in vigorously contesting
the proposed assessments.
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
Final notices of assessment have not yet been issued. Although there can be no
assurance that the contest of the assessments will be successful, the
Partnership believes that the state's position on the applicability of GET in
this instance is without merit. The Partnership has not recorded any provision
or liability as a result of the proposed notices of assessment.
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.
Results of Operations
Net income increased for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1998 as compared to the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997
principally due to the gain recognized from the sale of an aircraft as discussed
in Note 6 and the overall reduction in expenses which was offset by the
reduction in revenue.
Revenues decreased overall for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1998 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. Rental income
decreased due to the expiration of the Southwest lease in accordance with its
terms subsequent to the prior year's period and the sale of one Boeing 727
aircraft which was leased to Continental Micronesia Inc.
Interest income increased for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998
compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year due to higher cash
balances available for short term investments, but decreased slightly for the
three months period ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period in
1997.
Operating expenses increased for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year
due to costs associated with the off-lease aircraft in order to comply with
certain airworthiness directives issued by the Federal Aviation Authority as
well as expenses related to the return and storage of the aircraft.
Depreciation expense decreased for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year
due to the disposition of certain equipment subsequent to the prior year's
period, as well as to the fact that certain equipment reached salvage value
prior to the current year's period.
Fees to affiliates decreased for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year
due to a decrease in partnership management fees resulting from a decrease in
