                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The summarized financial information of National Lease Income Fund 6 L.P.
     (the "Partnership") 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 Partnership's annual report on
     Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The accounting policies
     used in preparing these financial statements are consistent with those
     described in the December 31, 1999 financial statements. The results of
     operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31,
     2000.

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 rights of the limited partners in 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.

     In 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 the
     day-to-day management of Presidio and its direct and indirect subsidiaries
     and affiliates. During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
     reimbursable expenses to NorthStar Presidio from the Partnership amounted
     to $0 and $7,500, respectively.

     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 to
     provide asset management and investor relation services to the Partnership
     and other entities affiliated with the Partnership.

     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.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

     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 $20,775, for the six months ended
     June 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 six months ended June 30, 2000.

3.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     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 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.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


3.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

     Tax assessment (Continued)

     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. 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.

4.   AIRCRAFT SALE

     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.

                             FORM 10-Q JUNE 30, 2000


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 $6,842,365 during the six months ended June
          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
          $97,635 of cash provided by operating activities.

          As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had sold all of its equipment
          with a view towards wrapping up the business affairs of the
          Partnership.

          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 not anticipated at this time that any 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 three and six month periods ended June
          30, 2000, as compared to the three and six months periods ended June
          30, 1999, principally due to a decrease in costs and expenses
          partially offset by decreased revenues.

          Revenues decreased overall for the three and six month periods ended
          June 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 three and six month periods ended
          June 30, 2000, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year
          due to higher cash balances available for short term investments.

          Expenses decreased overall for the three and six month periods ended
          June 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding period 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.
