                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                               September 30, 1997

                                   (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  lease as of September 30, 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 ........................................      429,636
Unearned income .............................................      516,609
                                                                ----------
                                                                $4,946,245

       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 ("Series E"). On January 29, 1997 the
Partnership re-financed the junior debt with a third party.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

3.    Redemption of Limited Partnership Units

      The General Partner  consented to the Partnership  redeeming 2,186 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  Series E, an  affiliate  of the
Partnership. 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."

      On  September  19,  1997,  ICON  Asset  Acquisition  LLC sold  its  entire
investment  in leases  to ICON Cash Flow  Partners  L.P.  Six  ("L.P.  Six") for
$6,819,996.  The  proceeds  from the sale  were used to  payoff  its  obligation
($4,730,328  at September 19, 1997) to Series E. The remaining  proceeds will be
distributed to the Partnership,  Series B and Series C upon final liquidation of
the remaining net assets of ICON Asset Acquisition LLC.

      ICON Cash Flow LLC I

      In September  1994 the  Partnership  and an affiliate,  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  which was 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 was 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
venture is accounted  for under the equity  method.  The lease  expired in April
1997.

      In June,  1997 ICON Cash Flow LLC I remarketed  the aircraft  (formally on
lease to Alaska Airlines, Inc.). The aircraft was leased to Aero Mexico. The new
lease is an operating lease which expires in October 2002.

      ICON Receivables 1997-A LLC

      In March 1997 the  Partnership,  ICON Cash Flow Partners,  L.P.,  Series D
("Series  D"), and L.P.  Seven,  contributed  and assigned  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 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
"1997-A  Facility").  Borrowings  under the  1997-A  Facility  were based on the
present value of the new leases.  Outstanding  amounts under the 1997-A Facility
bore interest equal to Libor plus 1.5%.

      On  September  19,  1997 the  Partnership  and  Series E  contributed  and
assigned  equipment lease and finance  receivables and residuals with a net book
value of $5,346,909 and  $15,698,027,  respectively to 1997-A.  The partnership,
Series D, Series E and L.P. Seven (collectively the "1997-A Members") received a
31.03%, 17.81% 31.19% and 19.97% interest,  respectively, in 1997-A based on the
present value of their related contributions.

      On  September  19,  1997,  1997-A  securitized  substantially  all  of its
equipment  leases and finance  receivables and residuals.  The net proceeds from
the  securitization  totaled  $47,140,183,  of which $16,658,877 was used to pay
down  the  1997-A  Facility,  and the  remaining  proceeds,  after  establishing
reserves for expenses,  were  distributed  to the 1997-A  Members based on their
respective interests. 1997-A became the beneficial owner of a trust. The trustee
for the  trust  is  Texas  Commerce  Bank  ("TCB").  In  conjunction  with  this
securitization,  the  portfolio  as  well  as the  General  Partner's  servicing
capabilities  were  rated  "AA" by Duff &  Phelps  and  Fitch,  both  nationally
recognized rating agencies. The General Partner, as servicer, is responsible for
managing, servicing, reporting on and administering the portfolio. 1997-A remits
all monies received from the portfolio to TCB. TCB is responsible for disbursing
to the  noteholders  their  respective  principal and interest and to 1997-A the
excess of cash  collected  over debt  service  from the  portfolio.  The  1997-A
Members  receive their pro rata share of any excess cash on a monthly basis from
1997-A.  The Partnership's  share of the gross proceeds from the  securitization
totaled $9,543,757.  The Partnership accounts for its investment in 1997-A under
the equity method of  accounting.  The  Partnership's  original  investment  was
recorded  at  cost  and is  adjusted  by  its  share  of  earnings,  losses  and
distributions thereafter.

       ICON Receivables 1997-B LLC

      In August 1997 the Partnership, Series E and L.P. Seven (collectively, the
"1997-B Members") formed ICON Receivables 1997-B LLC ("1997-B"), for the purpose
of originating lease transactions and ultimately securitizing its portfolio. The
1997-B  Members  contributed  $250,000  (8.33%  interest),   $2,250,000  (75.00%
interest) and $500,000 (16.67%  interest),  respectively to 1997-B.  In order to
fund the acquisition of additional leases, 1997-B obtained a warehouse borrowing
facility from Prudential  Securities Credit Corporation (the "1997-B Facility").
Borrowings  under the 1997-B  Facility are based on the present value of the new
leases,  provided that in the aggregate,  the amount  outstanding  cannot exceed
$13,000,000.  Outstanding  amounts under the 1997-B Facility bear interest equal
to Libor plus 1.5%.  Collections of receivables from leases are used to pay down
the 1997-B Facility,  however, in the event of a default, all of 1997-B'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  1997-B
Facility  balance and the remaining  proceeds will be  distributed to the 1997-B
Members in accordance with their membership interests.  The Partnership accounts
for its  investment  in  1997-A  under the  equity  method  of  accounting.  The
Partnership's  original  investment  was recorded at cost and is adjusted by its
share of earnings, losses and distributions thereafter.

1997-B as of and for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1997 is  summarized

Item 2.  General Partner's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

    The Partnership's portfolio consisted of a net investment in finance leases,
operating  leases,  leveraged  leases,  equity investment in a joint venture and
financings,  of 51%,  31%, 9%, 5% and 4% of total  investments  at September 30,
1997, respectively, and 69%, 22%, 2%, less than 1% and 7% of total investment at
September 30, 1996.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

    For the three  months ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996,  the  Partnership
leased or financed  equipment  with an initial cost of $92,699 and  $20,889,581,
respectively, to 1 and 23 lessees or equipment users, respectively.

    Revenues  for the three  months ended  September  30, 1997 were  $1,968,515,
representing  a decrease of $417,204 or 17% from 1996.  The decrease in revenues
was due to a decrease  in finance  income of  $639,690 or 40%, a decrease in net
gain on sales or  remarketing  of  equipment  of $78,346  or 70%, a decrease  in
interest  income and other of $33,937 or 53% from  1996.  These  decreases  were
partially  offset by an  increase  in the rental  income of  $151,997 or 25%, an
increase  in income from equity  investment  in joint  venture of $96,228 and an
increase  in income  from  leveraged  leases of $86,544  or 100% from 1996.  The
decrease in finance income resulted from the decrease in the average size of the
finance lease  portfolio from 1996 to 1997. The net gain on sales or remarketing
decreased due to a decrease in the number of leases maturing, and the underlying
equipment being sold or remarketed. Interest income and other decreased due to a
decrease in the average cash balance from 1996 to 1997.  Rental income increased
due to the Partnership's  increased investment in operating leases.  Income from
equity  investment in joint ventures and income from leveraged  lease  increased
due to the Partnership's  increased investment in these transactions in December
1996 and June 1997.

    Expenses  for the three  months ended  September  30, 1997 were  $1,904,152,
representing  a decrease of $466,484 or 20% from 1996.  The decrease in expenses
was due to a decrease  in  interest  expense of  $249,361  or 23%, a decrease in
provision  for bad debts of  $125,000  or 63%, a  decrease  in  depreciation  of
$50,692 or 24%, a decrease of general and  administrative  expense of $49,867 or
35%,  a  decrease  in  minority  interest  in joint  venture of $9,048 or 65%, a
decrease in  management  fees of $1,959 or 1% and a decrease  in  administrative
fees of $1,153 or 1%. These  decreases were  partially  offset by an increase in
amortization of initial direct cost of $20,596 or 7%. Interest expense decreased
due  to  a  decrease  in  the  average  debt  outstanding  from  1996  to  1997.
Depreciation decreased due to the Partnership's reduced investment.  General and
administrative  decreased due to a decrease in legal fees and printing  charges.
Amortization of initial direct costs increased due to an increase 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 nine months
ended September 30, 1997.

    Net  income  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1997 and 1996 was
$64,363 and $15,083,  respectively.  The net income per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $.17 and $.04, respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

    For the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996,  the  Partnership
leased or financed equipment with an initial cost of $1,918,026 and $30,008,132,
respectively,  to 5 and  149  lessees  or  equipment  users,  respectively.  The
weighted average initial  transaction term relating to these transactions was 25
and 52 months, respectively.

    Revenues  for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1997 were  $5,883,745,
representing a decrease of $1,716,993 or 23% from 1996. The decrease in revenues
was due to a decrease  in finance  income of  $1,739,069  or 33%, a decrease  in
interest  income and other of $160,048  or 60%, a decrease  in rental  income of
$152,204 or 8% and a decrease in net gain on sales or  remarketing  of equipment
of  $88,908  or 27% from  1996.  These  decreases  were  partially  offset by an
increase in income from equity  investment  in joint  venture of $252,576 and an
increase in income  from  leveraged  leases of  $170,660 or 100% from 1996.  The
decrease in finance and rental  income  resulted  from a decrease in the size of
the average finance and operating  lease  portfolios from 1996 to 1997. Net gain
on sales or remarketing  of equipment  decreased due to a decrease in the number
of leases  maturing,  and the  underlying  equipment  being sold or  remarketed.
Interest  income and other  decreased  due to a  decrease  in the  average  cash
balance from 1996 to 1997.  Income from equity  investment in joint ventures and
income  from  leveraged  lease  increased  due  to the  Partnership's  increased
investment in these transactions in December 1996 and June 1997.

    Expenses  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 were  $5,878,514
representing a decrease of $1,861,886 or 24% from 1996. The decrease in expenses
was due to a decrease in interest  expense of  $1,041,848  or 29%, a decrease in
provision  for bad  debts  of  $375,000  or  83%,  a  decrease  in  general  and
administrative  expense of  $216,395 or 43%, a decrease  in  management  fees of
$188,531 or 18%, a decrease in administrative  expense reimbursements of $77,805
or 16%, a decrease in  depreciation  of $50,692 or 8% and a decrease in minority
interest  in joint  venture of $12,735 or 22% from 1996.  These  decreases  were
partially  offset by an  increase  in  amortization  of initial  direct  cost of
$101,120  or 10% from 1996.  Interest  expense  decreased  due to a decrease  in
average debt outstanding from 1996 to 1997. 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 nine months ended  September
30, 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.

    Net income (loss) for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996 was
$5,231 and $(139,662),  respectively.  The net loss per weighted average limited
partnership unit was $.01 and $(.36), respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The  Partnership's  primary  sources  of  funds  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 were cash provided by operations of $11,867,401  and
$9,544,216,  respectively,  proceeds from sales of equipment of  $2,430,490  and
$3,688,805,  respectively and proceeds from note payable affiliate of $7,780,328
in 1997.  These  funds were used to make  payments on  borrowings,  to fund cash
distributions  and to purchase  equipment.  The Partnership  intends to purchase
additional   equipment  and  to  fund  cash   distributions   utilizing  capital
contributions,  cash from  operations,  proceeds  from  sales of  equipment  and
borrowings.

    Cash  distributions  to limited partners for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996, which were paid monthly,  totaled  $3,079,868 and $3,090,799,
respectively,  of which $5,179 and $0 was  investment  income and $3,074,689 and
$3,090,799 was a return of capital,  respectively.  The monthly  annualized cash
distribution  rate to  limited  partners  was  10.75%,  of which .02% and 0% was
investment  income and 10.73% and 10.75% was a return of capital,  respectively,
calculated as a percentage of each partners  initial capital  contribution.  The
limited partner  distribution per weighted average unit outstanding for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1997 and 1996 was $8.06 of which  $.01 and $0 was
investment income and $8.05 and $8.06 was a return of capital, respectively.

      In March 1997 the  Partnership,  ICON Cash Flow Partners,  L.P.,  Series D
("Series  D"), and L.P.  Seven,  contributed  and assigned  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 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
"1997-A  Facility").  Borrowings  under the  1997-A  Facility  were based on the
present value of the new leases.  Outstanding  amounts under the 1997-A Facility
bore interest equal to Libor plus 1.5%.

      On  September  19,  1997 the  Partnership  and  Series E  contributed  and
assigned  equipment lease and finance  receivables and residuals with a net book
value of $5,346,909 and  $15,698,027,  respectively to 1997-A.  The partnership,
Series D, Series E and L.P. Seven (collectively the "1997-A Members") received a
31.03%, 17.81% 31.19% and 19.97% interest,  respectively, in 1997-A based on the
present value of their related contributions.

         On September  19, 1997,  1997-A  securitized  substantially  all of its
equipment  leases and finance  receivables and residuals.  The net proceeds from
the  securitization  totaled  $47,140,183,  of which $16,658,877 was used to pay
down  the  1997-A  Facility,  and the  remaining  proceeds,  after  establishing
reserves for expenses,  were  distributed  to the 1997-A  Members based on their
respective interests. 1997-A became the beneficial owner of a trust. The trustee
for the  trust  is  Texas  Commerce  Bank  ("TCB").  In  conjunction  with  this
securitization,  the  portfolio  as  well  as the  General  Partner's  servicing
capabilities  were  rated  "AA" by Duff &  Phelps  and  Fitch,  both  nationally
recognized rating agencies. The General Partner, as servicer, is responsible for
managing, servicing, reporting on and administering the portfolio. 1997-A remits
all monies received from the portfolio to TCB. TCB is responsible for disbursing
to the noteholders their respective principal and interest and to 1997-A the

excess of cash  collected  over debt  service  from the  portfolio.  The  1997-A
Members  receive their pro rata share of any excess cash on a monthly basis from
1997-A.  The Partnership's  share of the gross proceeds from the  securitization
totaled $9,543,757.  The Partnership accounts for its investment in 1997-A under
the equity method of  accounting.  The  Partnership's  original  investment  was
recorded  at  cost  and is  adjusted  by  its  share  of  earnings,  losses  and
distributions thereafter.

      In August 1997 the Partnership, Series E and L.P. Seven (collectively, the
"1997-B Members") formed ICON Receivables 1997-B LLC ("1997-B"), for the purpose
of originating lease transactions and ultimately securitizing its portfolio. The
1997-B  Members  contributed  $250,000  (8.33%  interest),   $2,250,000  (75.00%
interest) and $500,000 (16.67%  interest),  respectively to 1997-B.  In order to
fund the acquisition of additional leases, 1997-B obtained a warehouse borrowing
facility from Prudential  Securities Credit Corporation (the "1997-B Facility").
Borrowings  under the 1997-B  Facility are based on the present value of the new
leases,  provided that in the aggregate,  the amount  outstanding  cannot exceed
$13,000,000.  Outstanding  amounts under the 1997-B Facility bear interest equal
to Libor plus 1.5%.  Collections of receivables from leases are used to pay down
the 1997-B Facility,  however, in the event of a default, all of 1997-B'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  1997-B
Facility  balance and the remaining  proceeds will be  distributed to the 1997-B
Members in accordance with their membership interests.  The Partnership accounts
for its  investment  in  1997-A  under the  equity  method  of  accounting.  The
Partnership's  original  investment  was recorded at cost and is adjusted by its
share of earnings, losses and distributions thereafter.

    As of September 30, 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.
