                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     ======================================


1.  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          The accompanying  condensed interim financial statements for the three
months  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are  unaudited.  These  condensed  interim
financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the audited  financial
statements and notes thereto  included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In  the  opinion  of  management,   such  statements   reflect  all  adjustments
(consisting  only  of  normal  recurring   adjustments)  necessary  for  a  fair
presentation  of the results of such periods.  The results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of results for
the entire year.

2.  TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES

          The partnership  has a management and service  agreement with a wholly
owned subsidiary of our corporate  general partner for a monthly  management fee
of 5% of revenues,  excluding revenues from the sale of cable television systems
or franchises.  Management fee expense approximated $41,800 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000.

          In addition to the monthly  management  fee, we reimburse  the manager
for  direct  expenses  incurred  on  behalf  of the  partnership,  and  for  the
partnership's  allocable  share of operational  costs  associated  with services
provided  by  the  manager.  All  cable  television  properties  managed  by the
corporate general partner and its subsidiaries are charged a proportionate share
of  these  expenses.   Charter  Communications  Holding  Company,  LLC  and  its
affiliates  provide  other  management  services for the  partnership  that were
provided by Falcon Communications, L.P. and its affiliates prior to November 12,
1999.  Corporate office  allocations and district office expenses are charged to
the  properties  served based  primarily on the  respective  percentage of basic
customers  served within the designated  service areas. The total amount charged
to the partnership for these services  approximated $74,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000.  Management fees and reimbursed expenses due the corporate
general partner are non-interest bearing.

          On June 30, 1997, the corporate general partner contributed a $269,300
receivable  balance  from  the  partnership  for past  due  management  fees and
reimbursed expenses as an equity contribution to its subsidiary,  Enstar Finance
Company, LLC. This balance remains an outstanding obligation of the partnership.
In the normal  course of  business,  we pay  interest  and  principal  to Enstar
Finance Company, our primary lender.

          We also receive  certain  system  operating  management  services from
Charter and other affiliates of the corporate general partner in addition to the
manager.  We reimburse the affiliates for our allocable share of the affiliates'
operational  costs.  The total amount charged to the partnership for these costs
approximated  $13,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2000.  No  management
fee is payable to the affiliates by the  partnership and there is no duplication
of reimbursed expenses and costs paid to the manager.

2.  TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES (Continued)

          Substantially  all programming  services have been  purchased  through
Charter since November 12, 1999. Before that time, substantially all programming
services were purchased  through Falcon  Communications.  Falcon  Communications
charged  the  Partnership  for  these  costs  based on an  estimate  of what the
corporate general partner could negotiate for such programming  services for the
15 partnerships  managed by the corporate  general  partner as a group.  Charter
charges the  partnership  for these costs  based on its costs.  The  partnership
recorded  programming  fee expense of $163,900  for the three months ended March
31, 2000.  Programming  fees are included in service costs in the  statements of
operations.

3.  EARNINGS PER UNIT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST

          Earnings and losses per unit of limited partnership  interest is based
on the average number of units  outstanding  during the periods  presented.  For
this  purpose,  earnings  and  losses  have been  allocated  99% to the  Limited
Partners and 1% to the general  partners.  The general partners do not own units
of  partnership  interest in the  partnership,  but rather hold a  participation
interest in the income, losses and distributions of the partnership.

4.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

          In April 2000, the corporate  general  partner signed two  non-binding
letters of intent, which,  together,  cover the sale of all of the partnership's
cable  television  systems.  The  sale  of  all  or  substantially  all  of  the
partnership's  assets is  subject  to  approval  by a  majority  of the  limited
partners,  and any sale agreement will provide for standard closing  conditions,
such as obtaining regulatory approvals.  Each of the prospective buyers seeks to
purchase a large group of cable  television  systems,  which includes certain of
the partnership's systems as well as certain systems owned by other partnerships
under the common control of the partnership's  corporate general partner.  There
is no assurance that both definitive  sale  agreements will be executed,  and if
so, whether the proposed sales will be consummated. Even if the limited partners
do approve  the sales, consummation  of the sales is subject to certain  factors
beyond the partnership's control,  including receipt of regulatory approvals and
approval of the sales by other selling partnerships.

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

INTRODUCTION

          The 1992 Cable Act required the Federal Communications  Commission to,
among other things, implement extensive regulation of the rates charged by cable
television systems for basic and programming  service tiers,  installation,  and
customer premises equipment leasing.  Compliance with those rate regulations has
had a negative impact on our revenues and cash flow. The 1996 Telecommunications
Act substantially  changed the competitive and regulatory  environment for cable
television and  telecommunications  service providers.  Among other changes, the
1996  Telecommunications  Act ended the regulation of cable programming  service
tier rates on March 31,  1999.  There can be no  assurance  as to what,  if any,
further  action  may be taken  by the  FCC,  Congress  or any  other  regulatory
authority or court, or their effect on our business. Accordingly, our historical
financial  results as described below are not  necessarily  indicative of future
performance.

          This report includes  certain  forward-looking  statements  regarding,
among other things, our future results of operations,  regulatory  requirements,
competition,  capital needs and general  business  conditions  applicable to the
partnership.  Such  forward-looking  statements  involve risks and uncertainties
including,  without  limitation,  the  uncertainty of legislative and regulatory
changes and the rapid  developments in the competitive  environment facing cable
television  operators such as the  partnership.  In addition to the  information
provided here,  reference is made to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended  December 31, 1999 for additional  information  regarding such matters and
the effect thereof on our business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          Our revenues decreased from $867,600 to $837,200,  or by 3.5%, for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the first three months of 1999.
Of the  $30,400  decrease,  approximately  $51,000 was due to  decreases  in the
number of subscriptions for basic,  premium,  tier and equipment rental services
and  $7,200  was due to  decreases  in  other  revenue  producing  items.  These
decreases  were  partially  offset by a $27,800  increase  due to  increases  in
regulated  service rates that we  implemented  in 1999. As of March 31, 2000, we
had approximately 8,600 basic subscribers and 1,700 premium service units.

          Our service costs  decreased  from $309,200 to $262,900,  or by 15.0%,
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the  equivalent  period
in 1999. Service costs represent costs directly  attributable to providing cable
services to customers.  The decrease was primarily due to lower programming fees
and franchise  costs. The decrease in programming fees resulted from lower rates
that Charter has extended to the partnership.

          Our general and  administrative  expenses  increased  from $124,300 to
$140,500,  or by 13.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to
the first quarter of 1999,  primarily due to increases in customer billing costs
and personnel expenses.

          Management  fees and  reimbursed  expenses  decreased from $130,000 to
$115,800,  or by 10.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to
the first  quarter of 1999.  Management  fees  decreased  in direct  relation to
decreased revenues as described above. Reimbursed

                    ENSTAR INCOME/GROWTH PROGRAM SIX-A,L.P.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

expenses decreased principally due to lower allocated personnel costs, telephone
expense and corporate office expenses.

          Our depreciation and amortization  expense  increased from $257,200 to
$260,700,  or by 1.4%,  for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to
the  corresponding  period  in 1999,  due to the  depreciation  of  plant  asset
additions.

          Our operating income increased from $46,900 to $57,300,  or 22.2%, for
the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the first three months of
1999,  primarily due to decreases in programming fees and reimbursed expenses as
described above.

          Our interest income increased from $6,000 to $7,600,  or by 26.7%, for
the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the first three months of
1999, primarily due to higher average cash balances available for investment and
due to higher average interest rates earned during 2000.

          Our interest  expense  decreased from $37,200 to $34,700,  or by 6.7%,
for the three  months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the first three months
of 1999,  primarily  due to lower  average  outstanding  borrowings in the first
quarter of 2000.

          Due to the factors  described  above,  our net income  increased  from
$15,700 to $30,200,  or by 92.4%,  for the three  months ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to the prior year period.

          Based on our experience in the cable television  industry,  we believe
that operating  income before  depreciation  and  amortization,  or EBITDA,  and
related  measures of cash flow serve as important  financial  analysis tools for
measuring and comparing  cable  television  companies in several areas,  such as
liquidity,  operating  performance  and  leverage.  EBITDA is not a  measurement
determined under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and does not
represent  cash generated  from  operating  activities in accordance  with GAAP.
EBITDA should not be considered by the reader as an alternative to net income as
an indicator of financial  performance  or as an  alternative to cash flows as a
measure of liquidity. In addition, the definition of EBITDA may not be identical
to similarly titled measures used by other companies.  EBITDA as a percentage of
revenues  increased  from 35.1% to 38.0% during the three months ended March 31,
2000 as compared to the corresponding period in 1999. The increase was primarily
caused by lower  programming  fees and reimbursed  expenses as described  above.
EBITDA  increased  from $304,100 to $318,000,  or by 4.6%,  for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the first three months of 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          Our primary objective,  having invested net offering proceeds in cable
television  systems,  is to distribute  to our partners all available  cash flow
from  operations  and proceeds  from the sale of cable  systems,  if any,  after
providing for expenses, debt service and capital requirements. In general, these
capital requirements involve expansion,  improvement and upgrade of our existing
cable systems.

          In accordance with the partnership  agreement,  the corporate  general
partner has implemented a plan for liquidating  the  partnership.  In connection
with that strategy, the corporate

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

general  partner has entered into an agreement with a cable broker to market the
partnership's  cable systems to third parties.  Should the  partnership  receive
offers  from third  parties  for such  assets and should the  corporate  general
partner  enter into one or more  agreements  to sell such assets,  the corporate
general  partner  will  prepare  a proxy  or  written consent  solicitation  for
submission to the limited  partners for the purpose of approving or disapproving
such sale. If all of the  partnership's  assets are sold, the corporate  general
partner will proceed to liquidate the  partnership  following the  settlement of
all final  liabilities of the  partnership.  We can give no assurance,  however,
that we will be able to generate a sale of the partnership's cable assets.

          In April 2000, the corporate  general  partner signed two  non-binding
letters of intent, which,  together,  cover the sale of all of the partnership's
cable  television  systems.  The  sale  of  all  or  substantially  all  of  the
partnership's  assets is  subject  to  approval  by a  majority  of the  limited
partners,  and any sale agreement will provide for standard closing  conditions,
such as obtaining regulatory approvals.  Each of the prospective buyers seeks to
purchase a large group of cable  television  systems,  which includes certain of
the partnership's systems as well as certain systems owned by other partnerships
under the common control of the partnership's  corporate general partner.  There
is no assurance that both definitive  sale  agreements will be executed,  and if
so, whether the proposed sales will be consummated. Even if the limited partners
do approve  the sales, consummation  of the sales is subject to certain  factors
beyond the partnership's control,  including receipt of regulatory approvals and
approval of the sales by other selling partnerships.

          Two of the partnership's  franchise areas, which together serve 63% of
the  partnership's  total customer base,  require  upgrades to increase  channel
capacity.  One of the upgrades is required in an existing  franchise  agreement.
The  estimated  cost to  upgrade  the  cable  system in this  franchise  area is
approximately  $2.5 million and must be completed by June 2000. The  partnership
has  petitioned  for a six-month  extension of the  completion  date and expects
approval of the extension.  Another of the partnership's franchise agreements is
under  negotiation  for renewal and the  partnership  believes  that the renewed
franchise agreement may require the partnership to upgrade its cable plant at an
estimated  cost of $1.5 million  within 24 months.  The full upgrade  program is
estimated  to require  aggregate  capital  expenditures  of  approximately  $4.0
million.   In  addition  to  the  required  upgrade  described  above,   capital
expenditures  budgeted for 2000 are $802,700 for the replacement of other assets
and to extend the partnership's  cable plant into new service areas. As of March
31, 2000 capital spending  approximated  $110,900,  which included  expenditures
related to the upgrade.

          We are  party to a loan  agreement  with  Enstar  Finance  Company,  a
subsidiary of the corporate general partner.  The loan agreement  provides for a
revolving  loan  facility of $3.6 million.  Total  outstanding  borrowings  were
$1,050,000  at March  31,  2000.  We  expect to  increase  borrowings  under the
facility in the future to fund the upgrade of our  systems.  However,  borrowing
capacity and our present cash reserves will be  insufficient  to fund our entire
upgrade program. Consequently, if our systems are not sold, we will need to rely
on increased  cash flow from  operations or new sources of financing in order to
meet our future liquidity requirements. There can be no assurance that such cash
flow  increases can be attained,  or that  additional  future  financing will be
available to us on acceptable terms. If we are not able to attain such cash flow
increases, or obtain new sources of borrowings,  we will not be able to complete
our full upgrade  program.  As a result,  the value of our systems will be lower
than that of systems rebuilt to a higher technical standard.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

          Our loan  facility  matures  on August  31,  2001,  at which  time all
amounts  then  outstanding  are due in full.  Borrowings  bear  interest  at the
lender's base rate (9.0% at March 31, 2000) plus 0.625%,  or at an offshore rate
plus 1.875%.  Under  certain  circumstances,  we are required to make  mandatory
prepayments,  which  permanently  reduce the maximum  commitment  under the loan
facility. The loan facility contains certain financial tests and other covenants
including,   among  others,   restrictions   on   incurrence  of   indebtedness,
investments,  sales of assets,  acquisitions and other  covenants,  defaults and
conditions. We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants at March 31,
2000.  The loan  facility  does not  restrict  the payment of  distributions  to
partners  unless an event of default  exists  thereunder or our ratio of debt to
cash flow is greater than 4 to 1. However,  due to the upgrade program discussed
above,  the corporate  general partner  believes it is critical to conserve cash
and borrowing  capacity and,  consequently,  has concluded  that it would not be
prudent for the partnership to resume paying distributions at this time.

          The corporate  general  partner  contributed  its $269,300  receivable
balance  from us for past due  management  fees and  reimbursed  expenses  as an
equity  contribution  to  Enstar  Finance  Company.   This  balance  remains  an
outstanding obligation of ours.

          Falcon  Communications  purchased  insurance  coverage  for all of the
cable  television  properties  owned or managed  by it to cover  damage to cable
distribution plant and subscriber connections and against business interruptions
resulting  from such damage.  This coverage is subject to a  significant  annual
deductible  which  applies to all of the cable  television  properties  formerly
owned or  managed  by Falcon  Communications  through  November  12,  1999,  and
currently managed by Charter, including those of the partnership.

          Approximately  73% of our  subscribers  are  served  by our  system in
Flora,  Illinois and neighboring  communities.  Significant damage to the system
due to seasonal weather conditions or other events could have a material adverse
effect on our  liquidity  and cash flows.  We  continue  to  purchase  insurance
coverage in amounts our management  views as appropriate for all other property,
liability, automobile, workers' compensation and other types of insurable risks.

          We have not  experienced  any  system  failures  or other  disruptions
caused by Year 2000  problems  since  January 1, 2000  through  the date of this
report,  and do not  anticipate  that we will  encounter  any Year 2000 problems
going  forward.  We did not  incur  expense  in the first  three  months of 2000
related to the Year 2000 date change.

          Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
          ------------------------------------------

          Our  operating  activities  provided  $144,100  more cash in the three
months ended March 31, 2000 than in the corresponding period in 1999. Changes in
receivables  and  prepaid  expenses  provided  $180,900  more  cash in the first
quarter of 2000 than in the  comparable  1999 period due to  differences  in the
timing of receivable  collections and the payment of prepaid  expenses.  We used
$54,900  more  cash  to  pay  amounts  owed  to  third  party  creditors  due to
differences in the timing of payments.

          We used  $116,900 more cash in investing  activities  during the three
months ended March 31, 2000 than in the  comparable  three months of 1999 due to
an  increase  of $91,900 in  expenditures  for  tangible  assets and $25,000 for
intangible assets. Financing activities provided

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

$28,300  less cash  during the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 than in the
corresponding  period of 1999.  We used $21,800 less cash to pay amounts owed to
the corporate  general  partner and other  affiliates  due to differences in the
timing of payments.  We used $6,500 more cash in the first  quarter of 2000 than
in the first three months of 1999 for the payment of deferred loan costs related
to our loan facility.


INFLATION

          Certain  of our  expenses,  such as  those  for  wages  and  benefits,
equipment repair and replacement,  and billing and marketing  generally increase
with inflation. However, we do not believe that our financial results have been,
or will be, adversely  affected by inflation in a material way, provided that we
are able to increase our service  rates  periodically,  of which there can be no
assurance.

ITEMS 1-4.        Not applicable.

ITEM 5.           Other Information.

                  In April  2000,  the  corporate  general  partner  signed  two
                  non-binding letters of intent, which, together, cover the sale
                  of all of the partnership's cable television systems. The sale
                  of all or  substantially  all of the  partnership's  assets is
                  subject to approval by a majority of the limited partners, and
                  any  sale   agreement   will  provide  for  standard   closing
                  conditions,  such as obtaining regulatory  approvals.  Each of
                  the  prospective  buyers  seeks to  purchase a large  group of
                  cable  television  systems,  which  includes  certain  of  the
                  partnership's  systems  as well as  certain  systems  owned by
                  other   partnerships   under  the   common   control   of  the
                  partnership's corporate general partner. There is no assurance
                  that both definitive sale agreements will be executed,  and if
                  so,  whether the proposed sales will be  consummated.  Even if
                  the limited partners do approve the sales, consummation of the
                  sales is subject to certain  factors beyond the  partnership's
                  control,   including  receipt  of  regulatory   approvals  and
                  approval of the sales by other selling partnerships.
