                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

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 1,552 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 August 31, 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 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

    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."  As of June 30, 1997,  the
lease with Alaska  Airlines,  Inc. was terminated and the aircraft was re-leased
to Aero Mexico.

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.

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, financings,  leveraged leases and equity investment in a joint
venture of 65%,  28%, 4%, 3% and less than 1% of total  investments  at June 30,
1997, respectively, and 71%, 21%, 7%, 0% and less than 1% of total investment at
June 30, 1996.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

   For the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership  leased or
financed  equipment with an initial cost of $84,184 and $806,246,  respectively,
to 1 and 105 lessees or equipment users, respectively.

   Revenues  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1997  were   $2,125,975,
representing  a decrease of $555,927 or 21% from 1996.  The decrease in revenues
was due to a decrease in finance income of $586,436 or 32%, a decrease in rental
income of $103,151 or 17%, a decrease in interest income and other of $56,171 or
65% and a decrease in net gain on sales or  remarketing  of equipment of $31,666
or 20% from 1996. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in income
from equity  investment  in joint  venture of $134,953 or 86% 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.  Rental  income  decreased  due  to  the
Partnership's reduced investment in operating leases.  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  decreased  due to a decrease in the number of
leases maturing,  and the underlying equipment being sold or remarketed.  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  June  30,  1997  were   $2,196,831,
representing  a decrease of $396,062 or 124% from 1996. The decrease in expenses
was due to a decrease  in  interest  expense of  $277,256  or 21%, a decrease in
provision  for  bad  debs of  $100,000  or  100%,  a  decrease  of  general  and
administrative  expense  of $65,513 or 34% and a  decrease  in  amortization  of
initial direct costs of $5,903 or 2% from 1996.  These  decreases were partially
offset by an  increase  in  management  fees of $35,067 or 13%,  an  increase in
administrative  expense  reimbursements  of  $15,618 or 12% and an  increase  in
minority  interest in joint venture of $1,925 or 1% from 1996.  Interest expense
decreased due to a decrease in the average debt  outstanding  from 1996 to 1997.
General and  administrative  and  amortization of initial direct costs 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 six months ended June 30, 1997.

   Net income  (loss)  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997 and 1996 was
$(70,856) and $89,009,  respectively. The net income (loss) per weighted average
limited partnership unit was $(.18) and $.23, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

   For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,  the  Partnership  leased or
financed   equipment  with  an  initial  cost  of  $1,825,327  and   $9,118,552,
respectively,  to 5 and  126  lessees  or  equipment  users,  respectively.  The
weighted average initial  transaction term relating to these transactions was 25
and 52 months, respectively.

   Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $4,005,089, representing
a decrease of $1,209,930 or 23% from 1996. The decrease in revenues was due to a
decrease in finance  income of $1,099,379 or 31%, a decrease in rental income of
$304,201 or 25%, a decrease in interest  income and other of $126,111 or 63% and
a decrease in net gain on sales or  remarketing  of  equipment  of $10,562 or 5%
from 1996.  These decreases were partially  offset by an increase in income from
leveraged  leases of  $173,975  or 100% and an  increase  in income  from equity
investment  in joint  venture of  $156,348  or 51% 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 six months ended June 30, 1997 were $3,974,362, representing
a decrease of $1,395,402 or 221% from 1996.  The decrease in expenses was due to
a decrease in interest  expense of $792,487 or 32%, a decrease in provision  for
bad debts of 250,000 or 100%, a decrease in management  fees of $186,572 or 25%,
a decrease in general and administrative  expense of $166,528 or 46%, a decrease
in  administrative  expense  reimbursements  of $76,652 or 21% and a decrease in
minority  interest in joint venture of $3,687 or 8% from 1996.  These  decreases
were partially  offset by an increase in  amortization of initial direct cost of
$80,524 or 12% from 1996.  Interest expense decreased due to decrease in 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 six months ended June 30, 1997.

   Net income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $30,727
and  $(154,745),  respectively.  The  net  loss  per  weighted  average  limited
partnership unit was $.08 and $(.40), respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The Partnership's  primary sources of funds for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 were cash provided by operations  of  $1,957,710  and  $3,581,056,
respectively,  proceeds  from sales of equipment of $1,921,587  and  $2,446,193,
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.

respectively,  of which $30,419 and $0 was investment  income and $2,025,462 and
$2,061,269 was a return of capital,  respectively.  The monthly  annualized cash
distribution  rate to  limited  partners  was  10.75%,  of which .16% and 0% was
investment  income and 10.60% 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 six
months  ended  June  30,  1997 and  1996  was  $5.38  of  which  $.08 and $0 was

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 $25,000,000. 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 June 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.
