                          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 three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily
      indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31,
      2000.

2     CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

      The general  partners of the  Partnership  are ALI Equipment  Management
      Corp.  ("Equipment  Management"),  ALI Capital Corp.  and Presidio Boram
      Corp.,  all of who are  direct  or  indirect  subsidiaries  of  Presidio
      Capital Corp. ("Presidio").

      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, as of February 28, 1995, the associate
      general partner. On August 28, 1997, an affiliate of NorthStar Capital
      Partners acquired all of the Class B shares of Presidio, the corporate
      parent of the general partners. 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 three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
      reimbursable expenses to NorthStar Presidio from the Partnership amounted
      to $0 and $1,200, 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's
      Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") to, among
      other things, cause the Partnership to sell or acquire an asset or file

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


2     CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
      (continued)

      In order to facilitate the provision by the Agent of the asset management
      services and the investor relation services, effective October 25,1999,
      the officers and directors of the General Partner resigned and nominees of
      the Agent were elected as the officers and directors of the General
      Partner. The Agent is an affiliate of Winthrop Financial Associates, a
      Boston based company that provides asset management services, investor
      relation services and property management services to over 150 limited
      partnerships which own commercial property and other assets. The General
      Partner does not believe that this transaction will have a material effect
      on the operations of the Partnership.

      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 Limited Partnership Agreement. The
      Partnership incurred equipment management fees of $10,388, for the three
      months ended March 31, 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 Limited Partnership Agreement, subject to
      increase after the limited partners have received certain specified
      minimum returns on their investment.

      The management agreements between the Partnership and IREG may be
      terminated by either party to such agreements.

      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 $30,000 in distributions for
      the three months ended March 31, 2000.

      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.

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.

      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.

                           FORM 10-Q - MARCH 31, 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 uncertainties (including changing market
conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed in the
disclosures 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 consolidated 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 $2,856,153 during the three months ended March 31, 2000, as
compared to December 31, 1999. The decrease is due to a $3,000,000 distribution
to partners which was partially offset by $143,847 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 record as of January 1, 2000 of this amount, the Limited Partners
collectively received $2,970,000 or $9.90 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.

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.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

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.

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-month period ended March 31, 2000 as compared
to the corresponding period of the prior year principally due to a decrease in
costs and expenses partially offset by decreased revenues.

Revenues decreased for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 as compared
to the corresponding period of the prior year by $159,838. Rental income
decreased due to the sale of all equipment prior to 2000.

Interest income increased for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000
compared to the corresponding period of the prior year due to higher cash
balances available for short term investments.

Expenses decreased by $447,771 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000
as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due to no
equipment operations in 2000. General and administrative expense decreased due
to lower professional fees.

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.
