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 1998
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.    Net Investment in Leveraged Lease

      In September 1996 the Partnership acquired,  subject to a leveraged lease,
the beneficial  interest in an aircraft.  In December 1998 the Partnership  sold
its interest in the  aircraft to Airbus  Industrie.  The proceeds  from the sale
totaled  $20,834,705 and were used to pay off the debt and a third party under a
residual  sharing  agreement.  The  remaining  proceeds  were  retained  by  the
Partnership and the  Partnership  recognized an $884,876 gain on the sale of the
beneficial interest.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

      The  Partnership  has  investments  in  five  joint  ventures  with  other
Partnerships  sponsored  by the  General  Partner.  (See  Note 4 for  additional
information relating to the joint ventures.)

4.    Investment in Joint Ventures

      The Partnership and affiliates  formed five joint ventures for the purpose
of acquiring and managing various assets.

     The joint venture  described  below is majority  owned and is  consolidated
with the Partnership.

     ICON Cash Flow Partners L.L.C. 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  which was 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."  The  original  lease term
expired in April 1997 and Alaska Airlines,  Inc. returned the aircraft.  In June
1997 ICON Cash Flow LLC II released the  aircraft to Aero Mexico.  The new lease
is an operating lease which expires in September 2002.

     The four  joint  ventures  described  below are less than 50% owned and are
accounted for following the equity method.

     ICON Cash Flow Partners L.L.C. 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 is an
operating  lease.  Profits,  losses,  excess cash and  disposition  proceeds are
allocated  1% to  the  Partnership  and  99%  to  Series  E.  The  Partnership's
investment in the joint venture is accounted  for under the equity  method.  The
original lease term expired in April 1997 and Alaska Airlines, Inc. returned the
aircraft.  In June  1997  ICON Cash Flow LLC I  released  the  aircraft  to Aero
Mexico. The new lease is an operating lease which expires in October 2002.

     ICON Receivables 1997-B L.L.C.

     In  August  1997  the  Partnership,  Series E and L.P.  Seven  formed  ICON
Receivables 1997-B L.L.C. ("1997-B"),  for the purpose of originating leases and
securitizing its portfolio. The Partnership, Series E and L.P. Seven contributed
cash and received an 8.33%, 75.00% and 16.67% interest, respectively, in 1997-B.
The Partnership's cash  contributions  amounted to $250,000 in 1997 and $163,978
in 1998. In order to fund the acquisition of leases, 1997-B obtained a warehouse
borrowing  facility from Prudential  Securities Credit  Corporation (the "1997-B
Warehouse   Facility").   In  October  1998,   1997-B   completed  an  equipment
securitization.  The net proceeds from the  securitization  of these assets were
used  to  pay-off  the  remaining  1997-B  Warehouse  Facility  balance  and any
remaining  proceeds were  distributed to the 1997-B  members in accordance  with
their  membership  interests.  The  Partnership  accounts for its  investment in
1997-B  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 Boardman Funding L.L.C.

     In December 1998 the Partnership and three affiliates, Series C, L.P. Seven
and ICON Income  Fund Eight A L.P.  ("Eight  A") formed  ICON  Boardman  Funding
L.L.C.  ("ICON BF"), for the purpose of acquiring a lease with Portland  General
Electric.  The purchase price totaled $27,421,810,  and was funded with cash and
non-recourse debt assumed in the purchase price. The Partnership, Series C, L.P.
Seven and Eight A received a .5%, .5%, .5% and 98.5% interest,  respectively, in
ICON BF. The Partnership's  original  investment was recorded at cost of $56,960
and is adjusted by its share of earnings, losses and distributions,  thereafter.
Simultaneously  with the acquisition of the Portland  General  Electric lease by
ICON BF, a portion of the rent  receivable in excess of the senior debt payments
was acquired by the Partnership from ICON BF for $3,801,108.

     On March 30,  1999,  ICON BF acquired  the  Partnership's  investment  in a
portion  of the rent  receivable  in  excess of the  senior  debt  payments  for
$3,097,637  and  financed,  with a third party,  all of the rent  receivable  in
excess of the senior debt payments. There was no gain or loss to the Partnership
on this  transaction.  ICON BF  received  $7,643,867  from  the  financing.  The
proceeds  from  the  financing,   net  of  the  purchase  of  the  Partnership's
investment,  were distributed to the members of ICON BF in accordance with their
ownership  interests.  The $3,097,637 is included on the  Partnership's  balance
sheet in accounts receivable from General Partner and affiliates, net.

                        ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Six

                                 March 31, 1999

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,   investments  in  unconsolidated  joint  ventures,
financings and leveraged leases of 51%, 42%, 5%, 2% and 0% of total  investments
at  March  31,  1999,  respectively,  and  53%,  35%,  4%,  4% and  4% of  total
investments at March 31, 1998, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998

     For the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 the  Partnership  did not enter
into any new leases or  financing  agreements.  For the three months ended March
31,  1998,  the  Partnership  leased or financed  additional  equipment  with an
initial cost of $190,413 to 4 lessees or equipment  users. At March 31, 1999 the
weighted average remaining transaction term of the portfolio was 21 months.

     Revenues  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999  were  $1,688,470
representing  an increase of $106,035 or 7% from 1998.  The increase in revenues
was due to an  increase  in net gain on sales or  remarketing  of  equipment  of
$123,892 or 132%, an increase in finance  income of $100,531 or 16%, an increase
in rental income of $24,014 or 4% and an increase in income from  investments in
unconsolidated  joint  ventures of $5,892 or 5%. These  increases were partially
offset by a decrease  in income from  leveraged  leases of $95,696 or 100% and a
decrease in  interest  income and other of $52,598 or 88%.  The  increase in net
gain on sales or  remarketing  of  equipment  resulted  from an  increase in the
number of leases maturing and an increase in the amount of underlying  equipment
being  sold or  remarketed  for which  proceeds  received  were in excess of the
remaining  carrying  value.  Although  the  average  size of the  finance  lease
portfolio  decreased from 1998 to 1999, finance income increased because finance
income in 1999  included an adjustment  related to a finance  lease  acquired in
September 1998.  Rental income  increased due to increased  rentals in 1999 as a
result of the  Partnership's  revision of the  operating  lease with Aerovias de
Mexico,  S.A. de C.V.  ("Aero  Mexico") in April of 1998. The increase in income
from equity  investment in joint  ventures was due to an increase in the average
size of the finance lease  portfolio of one of the  underlying  joint  ventures,
ICON  Receivables  1997-B,  from  1998 to 1999.  The  decrease  in  income  from
leveraged leases was a result of the Partnership's 1998 termination of its lease
with Airbus  Industrie.  The decrease in interest income and other was primarily
due to a decrease in interest  income  resulting  from a decrease in the average
cash balance from 1998 to 1999.

     Expenses  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999  were   $983,196
representing  a decrease  of  $492,767 or 33%.  The  decrease in expenses  was a
result of a decrease in amortization of initial direct costs of $152,137 or 74%,
a decrease in interest  expense of $128,008 or 22%, a decrease in provision  for
bad debt taken of $100,000 or 100%, a decrease in management  fees of $90,809 or
36%, a decrease in administrative  expense reimbursements of $37,005 or 30%, and
a  decrease  in  depreciation  expense  of $3,180 or 2%.  These  decreases  were
partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expense of $17,857
or 41%. The decreases in amortization  of initial direct costs,  management fees
and  administrative  expense  reimbursements  were a result of a decrease in the
average size of the finance lease portfolio from 1998 to 1999.  Interest expense
decreased as a result of a decrease in the average debt outstanding from 1998 to
1999. As a result of an analysis of delinquency,

assessment  of overall  risk and a review of  historical  loss  experience,  the
Partnership  determined  that no additional  provision for bad debt was required
for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1999.  The  increase  in  general  and
administrative  expense was a result of increased professional fees incurred for
the  refinancing  of the debt related to the Aero Mexico lease in April 1998 and
increased printing and postage costs.

     Net income for the three  months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was $705,274
and  $106,472,  respectively.  The  net  income  per  weighted  average  limited
partnership unit outstanding was $1.84 and $.28 for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Partnership's primary sources of funds for the three months ended March
31,  1999 and 1998  were  net  cash  provided  by  operations  of  $443,938  and
$1,296,563, respectively, and proceeds from sales of equipment of $1,227,776 and
$530,118,  respectively.  These funds were used to fund cash  distributions,  to
make payments on borrowings and to purchase  equipment in 1998. 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,
1999 and 1998,  which were paid  monthly,  totaled  $1,019,828  and  $1,022,275,
respectively,  of which $698,221 and $105,407 was investment income and $321,607
and $916,868 was a return of capital,  respectively. The monthly annualized cash
distribution  rate to limited partners was 10.75%,  of which 7.36% and 1.11% was
investment income and 3.39% and 9.64% was a return of capital, respectively. The
limited partner  distribution  per weighted average unit outstanding in 1999 and
1998 was $2.69 of which $1.84 and $.28 was investment  income and $.85 and $2.41
was a return of capital, respectively.

      In March 1997 the  Partnership,  ICON Cash Flow Partners,  L.P.,  Series D
("Series D"), and ICON Cash Flow Partners L.P. Seven ("L.P. Seven"), contributed
and  assigned  equipment  lease and finance  receivables  and  residuals to ICON
Receivables  1997-A LLC  ("1997-A"),  a special  purpose  entity created for the
purpose  of  originating  leases,   managing  existing  contributed  assets  and
securitizing its portfolio.  In September 1997 the  Partnership,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P.,  Series E ("Series E") and L.P. Seven  contributed and assigned
additional  equipment lease and finance receivables and residuals to 1997-A. The
Partnership,  Series D, Series E and L.P. Seven 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.  In September 1997, 1997-A securitized  substantially all
of its equipment leases and finance receivables and residuals. 1997-A became the
beneficial owner of a trust. 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  formed  ICON
Receivables  1997-B LLC  ("1997-B"),  a special  purpose  entity  formed for the
purpose of originating  leases and securitizing its portfolio.  The Partnership,
Series  E and L.P.  Seven  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 leases,  1997-B obtained a warehouse  borrowing
facility from Prudential  Securities  Credit  Corporation (the "1997-B Warehouse
Facility"). In October 1998, 1997-B completed an equipment  securitization.  The
net proceeds  from the  securitization  of these assets were used to pay-off the
remaining  1997-B  Warehouse  Facility  balance and any remaining  proceeds were
distributed to the 1997-B members in accordance with their membership interests.
The  Partnership's  original  investment was recorded at cost and is adjusted by
its share of earnings, losses and distributions thereafter.

     In  December  1998 the  Partnership  and three  affiliates,  ICON Cash Flow
Partners,  L.P.,  Series C ("Series C"), L.P. Seven and ICON Income Fund Eight A
L.P.  ("Eight A") formed ICON Boardman  Funding LLC ("ICON BF"), for the purpose
of acquiring a lease with Portland General Electric.  The purchase price totaled
$27,421,810,  and was  funded  with cash and  non-recourse  debt  assumed in the
purchase  price.  The  Partnership,  Series C, L.P. Seven and Eight A received a
 .5%, .5%, .5% and 98.5% interest,  respectively,  in ICON BF. The  Partnership's
original  investment was recorded at cost of $56,960 and will be adjusted by its
share of earnings, losses and distributions, thereafter. Simultaneously with the
acquisition of the Portland  General Electric lease by ICON BF, a portion of the
rent  receivable  in excess of the senior  debt  payments  was  acquired  by the
Partnership from ICON BF for $3,801,108.

     On March 30,  1999,  ICON BF acquired  the  Partnership's  investment  in a
portion  of the rent  receivable  in  excess of the  senior  debt  payments  for
$3,097,637  and  financed,  with a third party,  all of the rent  receivable  in
excess of the senior debt payments. There was no gain or loss to the Partnership
on this  transaction.  ICON BF  received  $7,643,867  from  the  financing.  The
proceeds  from  the  financing,   net  of  the  purchase  of  the  Partnership's
investment,  were distributed to the members of ICON BF in accordance with their
ownership  interests.  The $3,097,637 is included on the  Partnership's  balance
sheet in accounts receivable from General Partner and affiliates, net.

     As of March 31, 1998 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  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.

Year 2000 Issue

    The Year 2000 issue arose because many existing  computer programs have been
written  using two digits rather than four to define the  applicable  year. As a
result,  programs could  interpret  dates ending in "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year  2000.  In  certain  cases,  such  errors  could  result in system
failures  or  miscalculations   that  disrupt  the  operation  of  the  affected
businesses.

    The Partnership  uses computer  information  systems provided by the General
Partner and has no computer information systems of its own. The software related
to the General  Partner's primary computer  information  systems are provided by
third party vendors.  The General Partner has formally  communicated  with these
vendors and has received  assurance that their programs are Year 2000 compliant.
In addition,  the General Partner has gathered  information  about the Year 2000
readiness of  significant  vendors and  third-party  servicers  and continues to
monitor  developments  in this area.  All of the  General  Partner's  peripheral
computer  technologies,  such as its  network  operating  system and third party
software  applications,  including  payroll  and  electronic  banking  have been
evaluated and have been found to be Year 2000 compliant.  The ultimate impact of
the Year 2000  issue on the  Partnership  will  depend to a great  extent on the
manner in which the issue is addressed by the Partnership's lessees. Each of the
Partnership's  lessees will have a material  self interest in resolving any Year
2000 issue, however, non-compliance on the part of a lessee could result in lost
or  delayed  revenues  to the  Partnership.  The  effect  of  this  risk  to the
Partnership is not determinable.

The General  Partner is  responsible  for costs  relating to the  assessment and
development of its Year 2000 compliance remediation plan, as well as the testing
of the hardware and software owned or licensed for its personal  computers.  The
General  Partner's  costs  incurred to date and  expected  future  costs are not
material.
