POLARIS AIRCRAFT INCOME FUND VI,
A California Limited Partnership
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Accounting Principles and Policies
In the opinion of management, the financial statements presented herein include
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary to
summarize fairly Polaris Aircraft Income Fund VI's (the Partnership's) financial
position and results of operations. The financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions of the Quarterly Report to the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). These statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995, included in the Partnership's 1997 Annual Report to the SEC on
Form 10-K (Form 10-K).
2. Related Parties
Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Partnership paid or agreed to pay
the following amounts for the current quarter to the general partner, Polaris
Investment Management Corporation, in connection with services rendered or
payments made on behalf of the Partnership:
Payments for
Three Months Ended Payable at
June 30, 1998 June 30, 1998
------------- -------------
Out-of-Pocket Administrative and
Operating Expense Reimbursements $34,819 $38,064
3. Partners' Capital
The Partnership Agreement (the Agreement) stipulates different methods by which
revenue, income and loss from operations and gain or loss on the sale of
aircraft are to be allocated to the general partner and the limited partners.
Such allocations are made using income or loss calculated under GAAP for book
purposes, which varies from income or loss calculated for tax purposes.
Cash available for distributions, including the proceeds from the sale of
aircraft, is distributed 10% to the general partner and 90% to the limited
partners.
The different methods of allocating items of income, loss and cash available for
distribution combined with the calculation of items of income and loss for book
and tax purposes result in book basis capital accounts that may vary
significantly from tax basis capital accounts. The ultimate liquidation and
distribution of remaining cash will be based on the tax basis capital accounts
following liquidation, in accordance with the Agreement.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
As discussed below under "Liquidity and Cash Distributions," Polaris Investment
Management Corporation, (PIMC or the General Partner), is in the process of
winding up the business of Polaris Aircraft Income Fund VI (the Partnership).
During 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining portfolio of 2 used aircraft to
Triton Aviation Services VI LLC (Triton).
Partnership Operations
The Partnership recorded a net loss of $19,747, or $0.28 per limited partnership
unit for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to net income of
$1,043,780, or $14.71 per limited partnership unit, for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. The Partnership recorded a net loss of $45,001, or $0.64 per
limited partnership unit for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to net
income of $1,247,283, or $17.31 per limited partnership unit, for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Current year operating results declined substantially,
compared to the same periods in 1997, due to the sale of the Partnership's
remaining aircraft in 1997, as discussed above.
Operating expenses increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
as compared to the same period in 1997, due to an increase in legal expenses
related to the sale of the remaining aircraft.
Liquidity and Cash Distributions
Liquidity - As previously discussed, the Partnership sold its remaining aircraft
during 1997. Polaris Investment Management Corporation, the general partner, has
determined that the Partnership maintain cash reserves as a prudent measure to
ensure that the Partnership has available sufficient funds to satisfy
anticipated contingencies and expenses in connection with winding up its
business.
Cash Distributions - The Partnership is now in the process of winding up its
business. With the exception of reserves maintained for anticipated expenses and
costs of winding up, the Partnership distributed all of its available cash
during 1997. Consequently, the timing and amount of future cash distributions,
if any, are not yet known and will depend upon whether the Partnership's
reserves exceed its actual expenses and contingencies in winding up and on the
time required to complete the winding up process.
