                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   GENERAL

     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,
     1999. The financial information contained herein is unaudited. In the
     opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
     such financial information have been included. All adjustments are of a
     normal recurring nature. The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 was derived
     from audited financial statements at such date.

     The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
     for the full year.

2.   CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTION WITH RELATED PARTIES

     The general partners of the Partnership are ALI Equipment Management Corp.
     (the "Managing General Partner"), ALI Capital Corp. ("Corporate General
     Partner") and Presidio Boram Corp. ("Associate General Partner"), all of
     which are direct or indirect subsidiaries of Presidio Capital Corp.
     ("Presidio").

     Subject to the provisions of the Agreement of Limited Partnership
     ("Partnership Agreement"), Presidio controls the Partnership through its
     direct or indirect ownership of all of the shares of the Managing General
     Partner, the Corporate General Partner and the Associate General Partner
     (collectively the "General Partners"). On August 28, 1997, an affiliate of
     NorthStar Capital Partners acquired all of the Class B shares of Presidio.
     This acquisition, when aggregated with previous acquisitions, caused
     NorthStar Capital Partners to acquire indirect control of the General
     Partners. Effective July 31, 1998, Presidio is indirectly controlled by
     NorthStar Capital Investment Corp. ("NorthStar"), a Maryland corporation.

     On August 28, 1997, Presidio entered into a management agreement with
     NorthStar Presidio Management Company, LLC ("NorthStar Presidio"). Under
     the terms of the management agreement, NorthStar Presidio provided, until
     October 21, 1999, the day-to-day management of Presidio and its direct and
     indirect subsidiaries and affiliates. During the nine months ended
     September 30, 1999 reimbursable expenses to NorthStar Presidio from the
     Partnership amounted to $15,000.

     On October 21, 1999, Presidio entered into a new Services Agreement with
     AP-PCC III, L.P. (the "Agent") pursuant to which the Agent was retained and
     is compensated by Presidio to provide asset management and investor
     relation services to the Partnership and other entities affiliated with the
     Partnership, which were previously provided by NorthStar Presidio.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.   CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTION WITH RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED)

     As a result of this agreement, the Agent has the duty to direct the day to
     day affairs of the Partnership, including, without limitation, reviewing
     and analyzing potential sale, financing or restructuring proposals
     regarding the Partnership's assets, preparation of all Partnership reports,
     maintaining Partnership records and maintaining bank accounts of the
     Partnership. The Agent is not permitted, however, without the consent of
     Presidio, or as otherwise required under the terms of the Partnership
     Agreement to, among other things, cause the Partnership to acquire an asset
     or file for bankruptcy.

     The Partnership has a management agreement with Integrated Resources
     Equipment Group, Inc. ("IREG") pursuant to which IREG receives equipment
     management fees of 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 Partnership Agreement. The Partnership
     incurred equipment management fees of $31,163, for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1999. No such fees were incurred during 2000.

     During the operating and liquidating stage of the Partnership, IREG may be
     entitled to a partnership management fee equal to 4% of cash from
     operations as defined in the Partnership Agreement, subject to increase
     after the limited partners have received certain specified minimum returns
     on their investment. In addition, 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.

     The general partners are entitled to 1% of distributable cash from
     operations, cash from sales or financing and cash from the equipment
     reserve accounts and an allocation of 1% of taxable net income or loss of
     the Partnership. The general partner received $69,400 in distributions for
     the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

3.   AIRCRAFT SALES

     On April 20, 1999, the Partnership sold one Boeing 737-200 aircraft to an
     unaffiliated third party for proceeds of approximately $1,250,000,
     exclusive of selling expenses of approximately $52,000. At the time of
     sale, the aircraft had a net carrying value of approximately $1,198,000. At
     March 31, 1999, the Partnership recorded a provision for equipment
     impairment of approximately $34,000 with respect to this aircraft.

     On May 5, 1999, a Boeing 737-200 aircraft owned by the Partnership was sold
     to an unaffiliated third party for proceeds of approximately $1,100,000,
     exclusive of selling expenses of approximately $49,000. At the time of
     sale, the aircraft had a net carrying value of approximately $1,051,000. At
     March 31, 1999, the Partnership recorded a provision for equipment
     impairment of approximately $181,000 with respect to this aircraft.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3.   AIRCRAFT SALES (CONTINUED)

     On September 23, 1999, the Partnership sold an aircraft engine and
     components to an unaffiliated third party for proceeds of $22,709. At the
     time of sale, the engine and components had a net carrying value of zero.

     On October 20, 1999, the Partnership sold one Boeing 727-227 aircraft to an
     unaffiliated third party for proceeds of approximately $2,261,000,
     exclusive of selling expenses of approximately $125,000. At the time of
     sale, the aircraft had a net carrying value of approximately $2,136,000. At
     September 30, 1999, the Partnership recorded an additional provision for
     equipment impairment of $245,000 with respect to this aircraft. During the
     quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Partnership had recorded a provision for
     equipment impairment of $572,000.

4.   DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS

     In February 2000, the Partnership declared and paid a $3,000,000
     distribution to partners, of which the Limited Partners collectively
     received $2,970,000 or $9.90 per unit. In June 2000, the Partnership
     declared and paid a $3,940,000 distribution to partners, of which the
     Limited Partners collectively received $3,900,600 or $13.00 per unit.

5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     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 the Partnership owes GET 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.

     The Partnership recently reached a settlement with Aloha pursuant to which
     Aloha agreed to indemnify the Partnership for any costs it may ultimately
     incur. The Partnership has further been advised that Hawaiian is pursuing a
     legislative remedy. In addition, both the Partnership and Hawaiian have
     independently filed an appeal with the taxing authority of the State of
     Hawaii challenging such assessment. 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.

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

     The matters discussed in this Form 10-Q contain certain forward-looking
     statements and involve risks and uncertainties (including changing market
     conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed in the
     disclosure contained in this Form 10-Q and the other filings with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Partnership from time to
     time. The discussion of the Partnership's liquidity, capital resources and
     results of operations, including forward-looking statements pertaining to
     such matters, does not take into account the effects of any changes to the
     Partnership's operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ
     materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a
     result of a number of factors, including those identified herein.

     This Item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
     other items contained elsewhere in the report.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Partnership's level of liquidity based upon cash and cash equivalents
     decreased by $6,855,889 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as
     compared to December 31, 1999. The decrease is due to a $6,940,000
     distribution to partners which was partially offset by $84,111 of cash
     provided by operating activities.

     In February 2000, the Partnership declared and paid a $3,000,000
     distribution to partners, of which the Limited Partners collectively
     received $2,970,000 or $9.90 per unit. In June 2000, the Partnership
     declared and paid a $3,940,000 distribution to partners, of which the
     Limited Partners collectively received $3,900,600 or $13.00 per unit. It is
     anticipated at this time that no further distributions will be made to
     partners until the resolution of the Hawaiian GET matter (see below).

     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 the Partnership owes GET 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

     The Partnership recently reached a settlement with Aloha pursuant to which
     Aloha agreed to indemnify the Partnership for any costs it may ultimately
     incur. The Partnership has further been advised that Hawaiian is pursuing a
     legislative remedy. 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.

     Upon resolution of the tax examination relating to the GET, the Managing
     General Partner will then prepare a final accounting of the Partnership's
     assets and liabilities, commence the dissolution and termination of the
     Partnership and make a final distribution to partners.

     Results of Operations

     Net income increased for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, as
     compared to the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, principally
     due to a decrease in costs and expenses partially offset by decreased
     revenues. Net loss decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
     as compared to 1999 due to a decrease in costs and expense partially offset
     by decreased revenue.

     Revenues decreased overall for the three and nine month periods ended
     September 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior
     year. Rental income decreased due to the sale of all equipment prior to
     2000.

     Interest income increased for the nine month period ended September 30,
     2000, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year due to higher
     cash balances available for short term investments. Interest income
     decreased for the three month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to
     the corresponding period of prior year due to a lower cash balances
     available for short term investment resulting from distributions to
     partners in February and June 2000.

     Expenses decreased overall for the three and nine month periods ended
     September 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior
     year primarily due to no equipment operations in 2000.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Partnership is not subject to market risk as its cash and cash
     equivalents are invested in short term money market mutual funds. The
     Partnership has no loans outstanding.
