                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                   (unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation

      The consolidated  financial statements of ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six
(the  "Partnership") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "SEC")  and, in the opinion of
management,  include  all  adjustments  (consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary  for a fair  statement  of income  for each  period  shown.
Certain information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in consolidated
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles  have  been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to such SEC  rules and
regulations.  Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make
the information  represented not misleading.  The results for the interim period
are  not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  for  the  full  year.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
consolidated  financial  statements and notes included in the Partnership's 1996
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.    Net Investment in Leveraged Lease

       In September 1996 the Partnership acquired, subject to a leveraged lease,
the residual interest in an aircraft.  The aircraft is an A-300B4-203  currently
on lease to Airbus. The purchase price was $19,595,956, consisting of $1,409,839
in  cash,  the  assumption  of  non-recourse  senior  debt  of  $12,495,956  and
non-recourse junior debt of $5,590,161.

The net investment in the leveraged leases as of March 31, 1997 consisted of the
following:

Non-cancelable minimum rents receivable (net of principal and
  interest on non-recourse debt)                              $        -
Estimated unguaranteed residual values                             4,000,000
Initial direct costs                                                 504,448
Unearned income                                                   (2,363,807)
                                                              --------------
                                                              $    2,140,641

       The  non-cancelable  rents are being paid  directly to the lenders by the
lessees to satisfy the principal and interest on the non-recourse debt assumed.

       Prior to the  acquisition,  the free  cash  flow  (rent in  excess of the
senior debt payments or junior debt) was financed by an affiliated  partnership,
ICON Cash Flow  Partners,  L.P.,  Series E. On January 29, 1997 the  Partnership
re-financed the junior debt with a third party.

3.    Redemption of Limited Partnership Units

      The General  Partner  consented to the  Partnership  redeeming 125 limited
partnership  units during 1997. The redemption  amount was calculated  following
the specified  redemption  formula as per the  Partnership  agreement.  Redeemed
units have no voting rights and do not share in  distributions.  The Partnership
agreement  limits the number of units  which can be redeemed in any one year and
redeemed  units may not be  reissued.  Redeemed  limited  partnership  units are
accounted for as a deduction from partners equity.

4.    Investment in Joint Ventures

      The  Partnership  Agreement  allows  the  Partnership  to  invest in joint
ventures  with other  limited  partnerships  sponsored  by the  General  Partner
provided that the  investment  objectives of the joint  ventures are  consistent
with that of the Partnership.

      ICON Asset Acquisition LLC

      On February 3, 1995 the  Partnership  and two  affiliates,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners, L.P., Series B ("Series B"), and ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series
C ("Series C") formed ICON Asset  Acquisition  L.L.C. I ("ICON Asset Acquisition
LLC") as a special purpose limited liability company. ICON Asset Acquisition LLC
was formed for the purpose of acquiring,  managing and  securitizing a portfolio
of leases. The Partnership, Series B and Series C contributed $8,700,000 (77.68%
interest),   $1,000,000  (8.93%  interest)  and  $1,500,000  (13.39%  interest),
respectively,  to ICON Asset  Acquisition  LLC. On February 17, 1995, ICON Asset
Acquisition LLC purchased an existing portfolio of leases. The purchase price of
the portfolio  totaled  $27,854,266,  and the underlying  equipment  consists of
graphic  arts  and  printing  equipment.   On  September  5,  1995,  ICON  Asset
Acquisition  LLC securitized  substantially  all of its portfolio and became the
beneficial  owner of a trust and the  Prudential  Insurance  Company  of America
("Prudential")  the  lender to the  trust.  On  January  28,  1997,  ICON  Asset
Acquisition LLC re-financed its outstanding  $7,780,000 obligation to Prudential
with proceeds it received from a loan from ICON Cash Flow Partners, L.P., Series
E ("Series E"), an affiliate of the Partnership.  The loan is short-term, and is
expected to be  re-financed  by June 30,  1997.  ICON Asset  Acquisition  LLC is
charged an  interest  rate that is equal to Series  E's cost of funds,  which is
approximately 8.0%.

      The Partnership's  consolidated  financial  statements include 100% of the
accounts of ICON Asset  Acquisition LLC with the affiliates'  share reflected as
"Minority interests in joint ventures."

      ICON Cash Flow LLC I

      In  September  1994 the  Partnership  and an  affiliate,  ICON  Cash  Flow
Partners,  L.P.,  Series E ("Series E"), formed a joint venture,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners  L.L.C.  I ("ICON Cash Flow LLC I"), for the purpose of  acquiring  and
managing an aircraft currently on lease to Alaska Airlines, Inc. The Partnership
and Series E contributed  1% and 99% of the cash required for such  acquisition,
respectively,  to ICON  Cash  Flow LLC I.  ICON  Cash  Flow LLC I  acquired  the
aircraft,  assuming non-recourse debt and utilizing  contributions received from
the Partnership and Series E. The lease is an operating lease. Profits,  losses,
excess cash and disposition proceeds are allocated 1% to the Partnership and 99%
to Series E. The General  Partner  manages and controls the business  affairs of
both the  Partnership  and Series E. As a result of this common  control and the
Partnership's  ability to influence  the  activities of the joint  venture,  the
Partnership's investment in the joint

     ICON Cash Flow LLC II

     In March 1995 the  Partnership  and an affiliate,  ICON Cash Flow Partners,
L.P.,  Series E ("Series E"),  formed a joint  venture,  ICON Cash Flow Partners
L.L.C.  II ("ICON Cash Flow LLC II"),  for the purpose of acquiring and managing
an aircraft  currently on lease to Alaska  Airlines,  Inc. The  Partnership  and
Series E  contributed  99% and 1% of the  cash  required  for such  acquisition,
respectively,  to ICON Cash Flow LLC II.  ICON  Cash  Flow LLC II  acquired  the
aircraft,  assuming non-recourse debt and utilizing  contributions received from
the Partnership and Series E. The lease is an operating lease. Profits,  losses,
excess cash and disposition proceeds are allocated 99% to the Partnership and 1%
to Series E. The Partnership's consolidated financial statements include 100% of
ICON Cash Flow LLC II.  Series E's  investment in ICON Cash Flow LLC II has been
reflected as "Minority interest in joint venture."

ICON Receivables 1997-A LLC

     On March 11,  1997,  the  Partnership  and two  affiliates,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P., Series D and ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven,  (collectively
"the Members"),  contributed and assigned $6,712,631,  $5,794,273 and $6,582,150
in equipment  lease and finance  receivables and residuals with a net book value
of  $5,553,962,  $4,874,857 and  $5,465,238,  respectively  to ICON  Receivables
1997-A LLC  ("1997-A"),  a special  purpose entity  created by the Members.  The
Members received a 34.94%, 30.67% and 34.39% interest,  respectively,  in 1997-A
based on the present value of their related contributions. 1997-A was formed for
the purpose of originating new leases, managing existing contributed assets and,
eventually,  securitizing its portfolio. In order to fund the acquisition of new
leases,   1997-A  obtained  a  warehouse   borrowing  facility  from  Prudential
Securities Credit  Corporation (the  "Facility").  Borrowings under the Facility
are  based  on the  present  value  of the  new  leases,  provided  that  in the
aggregate, the amount outstanding cannot exceed $20,000,000. Outstanding amounts
under the  Facility  bear  interest  equal to Libor  plus 1.5%.  Collections  of
receivables from new leases are used to pay down the Facility,  however,  in the
event of a default,  all of 1997- A's assets are available to cure such default.
The net proceeds from the expected  securitization  of these assets will be used
to pay-off the remaining  Facility  balance and the  remaining  proceeds will be
distributed to the Members in accordance with their  membership  interests.  The
Partnership accounts for its investment in 1997- A under the equity method.

     Revenues  for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1997  were  $1,878,227,
representing  a decrease of $654,980 or 26% from 1996.  The decrease in revenues
was  attributable to a decrease in finance income of $512,943 or 29%, a decrease
in rental income of $201,050 or 33% and a decrease in interest  income and other
of $69,940 or 61%. The decrease in income was partially offset by an increase in
income  from  leveraged  lease of  $86,544,  an  increase  in income from equity
investment in joint  ventures of $21,395 and an increase in net gain on sales or
remarketing  of equipment of $21,104.  The decrease in finance and rental income
resulted from a decrease in the average size of the finance and operating  lease
portfolios  from 1996 to 1997.  Interest  income  and other  decreased  due to a
decrease in the average cash balance from 1996 to 1997. The net gain on sales or
remarketing  of equipment  increased  due to an increase in the number of leases
maturing,  and the underlying equipment being sold or remarketed,  for which the
proceeds  received  were  in  excess  of the  remaining  carrying  value  of the
equipment.  Income  from equity  investment  in joint  ventures  and income from
leveraged lease increased due to the Partnerships  increased investment in these
transactions in December 1996 and March 1997.

     Expenses  for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1997  were  $1,777,531,
representing  a decrease of $999,340 or 36% from 1996.  The decrease in expenses
was  attributable  to a  decrease  in  interest  expense of  $515,231  or 44%, a
decrease in management  fees of $221,639 or 45%, a decrease in provision for bad
debt of $150,000,  a decrease in general and  administrative  of $101,015 or 60%
and a decrease in administrative  expense and  reimbursements of $92,270 or 41%.
These  increases were partially  offset by an increase in amortization of IDC of
$86,427.  Interest  expense  decreased  due to a decrease  in the  average  debt
outstanding from 1996 to 1997.  Management fees,  general and administrative and
administrative expense reimbursements decreased due to a decrease in the average
size of the  portfolio  from 1996 to 1997 and as the  result of the  Partnership
contributing a portion of its portfolio to a joint venture. Based on an analysis
of delinquency, an assessment of overall risk and historical loss experience, it
was determined that no provision for bad debt was required for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997.

     Net income  (loss) for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was
$100,696  and  ($243,754),  respectively.  The net income  (loss)  per  weighted
average limited  partnership  unit  outstanding was $.26 and ($.64) for 1997 and
1996, respectively.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                                 March 31, 1997

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Partnership's primary sources of funds for the three months ended March
31,  1997 and 1996  were  net  cash  provided  by  operations  of  $427,979  and
$1,690,687,  respectively,  and proceeds from sales of equipment of $821,791 and
$270,677,  respectively.  These funds were used to purchase  equipment,  to fund
cash distributions and to make payments on borrowings.  The Partnership  intends
to continue  to purchase  additional  equipment  and to fund cash  distributions
utilizing cash provided by operations and proceeds from sales of equipment.

     Cash distributions to limited partners for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1996,  which were paid  monthly,  totaled  $1,028,723  and  $1,030,903,
respectively,  of which  $99,689 and $0 was  investment  income and $929,034 and
$1,030,903 was a return of capital,  respectively.  The monthly  annualized cash
distribution  rate to limited  partners  was  10.75%,  of which 1.03% and 0% was
investment  income and 9.72% and 10.75% was a return of  capital,  respectively.
The limited partner  distribution  per weighted average unit outstanding in 1997
and 1996 was $2.69 and $2.69, respectively,  of which $.26 and $0 was investment
income and $2.43 and $2.69 was a return of capital, respectively.

     On March 11,  1997,  the  Partnership  and two  affiliates,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P., Series D and ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven,  (collectively
"the Members"),  contributed and assigned $6,712,631,  $5,794,273 and $6,582,150
in equipment  lease and finance  receivables and residuals with a net book value
of  $5,553,962,  $4,874,857 and  $5,465,238,  respectively  to ICON  Receivables
1997-A LLC  ("1997-A"),  a special  purpose entity  created by the Members.  The
Members received a 34.94%, 30.67% and 34.39% interest,  respectively,  in 1997-A
based on the present value of their related contributions. 1997-A was formed for
the purpose of originating new leases, managing existing contributed assets and,
eventually,  securitizing its portfolio. In order to fund the acquisition of new
leases,   1997-A  obtained  a  warehouse   borrowing  facility  from  Prudential
Securities Credit  Corporation (the  "Facility").  Borrowings under the Facility
are  based  on the  present  value  of the  new  leases,  provided  that  in the
aggregate, the amount outstanding cannot exceed $20,000,000. Outstanding amounts
under the  Facility  bear  interest  equal to Libor  plus 1.5%.  Collections  of
receivables from new leases are used to pay down the Facility,  however,  in the
event of a default,  all of 1997- A's assets are available to cure such default.
The net proceeds from the expected  securitization  of these assets will be used
to pay-off the remaining  Facility  balance and the  remaining  proceeds will be
distributed to the Members in accordance with their  membership  interests.  The
Partnership accounts for its investment in 1997- A under the equity method.

     As of March 31, 1997, except as noted above,  there were no known trends or
demands,  commitments,  events or  uncertainties  which  are  likely to have any
material  effect on  liquidity.  As cash is  realized  from  closings of limited
partnership  units,   operations,   sales  of  equipment  and  borrowings,   the
Partnership  will invest in equipment leases and financings where it deems it to
be prudent while retaining  sufficient cash to meet its reserve requirements and
recurring obligations as they become due.
