                         AMERICAN LEASING INVESTORS VI-A
                             (A limited partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1        ORGANIZATION

         American  Leasing  Investors  VI-A  (the   "Partnership"),   a  limited
         partnership, was organized under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of
         California  as of October 3, 1983,  for the purpose of investing in and
         leasing equipment.  Through June 30, 1996, the Partnership  liquidated,
         through  sales  and  dispositions,  all of its  original  portfolio  of
         equipment.

         In accordance  with the terms of the  Agreement of Limited  Partnership
         (the "Limited  Partnership  Agreement") ALI Equipment  Management Corp.
         ("Equipment   Management"),  the  managing   general   partner  of  the
         Partnership,  prepared a final accounting of the  Partnership's  assets
         and  liabilities  and completed the  dissolution and termination of the
         Partnership. In August 1996, the limited partners received a final cash
         distribution of $169.13 per Limited  Partnership  Unit ("Unit"),  which
         represented  distributable  cash from sales,  as defined in the Limited
         Partnership  Agreement,  available for distribution after providing for
         the liquidation of the Partnership's liabilities.

2        INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The summarized  financial  information  contained  herein is unaudited;
         however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only
         of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of such
         financial  information have been included.  The accompanying  financial
         statements, footnotes and discussion should be read in conjunction with
         the financial  statements,  related footnotes and discussions contained
         in the  Partnership's  annual  report on Form  10-K for the year  ended
         December 31, 1995.

3        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Equipment Held for Sale

         The  cost of  equipment  held  for  sale  (formerly,  leased  equipment
         accounted for under the financing method)  represented the initial cost
         of the equipment to the Partnership plus miscellaneous  acquisition and
         closing costs,  and was carried at the lower of depreciated cost or net
         realizable  value.  Depreciation  was not taken on  equipment  held for
         sale.

         When  equipment  was  sold or  otherwise  disposed  of,  the  cost  and
         accumulated  depreciation  (and any  related  allowance  for  equipment
         impairment) were removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on such
         sale or disposal was reflected in operations.  Normal  maintenance  and
         repairs  were  charged  to  operations  as  incurred.  The  Partnership
         provided  allowances  for equipment  impairment  based upon a quarterly
         review of all  equipment in its  portfolio,  when  management  believed
         that,  based  upon  market  analysis,   appraisal  reports  and  leases
         currently in place with respect to specific  equipment,  the investment
         in such equipment might not be recoverable.


4        CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

         The corporate  general  partner of the  Partnership,  ALI Capital Corp.
         (the "Corporate General Partner"),  Equipment Management and Integrated
         Resources  Equipment Group, Inc. ("IREG") are wholly owned subsidiaries
         of  Presidio  Capital  Corp.  ("Presidio").   CDG  Associates  was  the
         associate general partner of the Partnership through February 27, 1995.
         On February 28, 1995,  Presidio  Boram Corp., a subsidiary of Presidio,
         became the associate  general partner.  Other limited  partnerships and
         similar investment programs have been formed by Equipment Management or
         its  affiliates to acquire  equipment  and,  accordingly,  conflicts of
         interest  may arise  between  the  Partnership  and such other  limited
         partnerships.  Affiliates of Equipment  Management have also engaged in
         businesses  related  to the  management  of  equipment  and the sale of
         various  types  of  equipment  and  may  transact   business  with  the
         Partnership.

         Subject  to the  rights  of the  Limited  Partners  under  the  Limited
         Partnership Agreement,  Presidio controlled the Partnership through its
         direct  or  indirect  ownership  of  all  of the  shares  of  Equipment
         Management, the Corporate General Partner and, as of February 28, 1995,
         the  associate  general  partner.   Presidio  is  managed  by  Presidio
         Management Company, LLC ("Presidio  Management"),  a company controlled
         by a director of Presidio.  Presidio  Management is responsible for the
         day-to-day   management  of  Presidio  and,  among  other  things,  has
         authority to designate directors of Equipment Management, the Corporate
         General  Partner  and the  associate  general  partner.  In March 1996,
         Presidio   Management   assigned  its  agreement  for  the   day-to-day
         management of Presidio to Wexford Management LLC ("Wexford").

         In March 1995, Presidio elected new directors for Equipment Management.
         Wexford  Management  Corp.,  formerly  Concurrency   Management  Corp.,
         provides management and administrative services to Presidio, its direct
         and indirect  subsidiaries,  as well as to the  Partnership.  Effective
         January 1, 1996,  Wexford  Management  Corp.  assigned its agreement to
         provide  management  and  administrative  services to Presidio  and its
         subsidiaries  to Wexford.  During the six months  ended June 30,  1996,
         reimbursable  expenses  to  Wexford  by  the  Partnership  amounted  to
         $12,252.

         The Partnership had a management agreement with IREG, pursuant to which
         IREG received 5% of annual gross rental  revenues on operating  leases;
         2% of  annual  gross  rental  revenues  on  full  payout  leases  which
         contained net lease provisions;  and 1% of annual gross rental revenues
         if  services   were   performed  by  third  parties  under  the  active
         supervision of IREG, as defined in the Limited  Partnership  Agreement.
         The Partnership did not incur equipment  management fees during the six
         months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

         During  the  operating  and  sale  stage of the  Partnership,  IREG was
         entitled to a partnership  management fee equal to 4% of  distributions
         of  distributable  cash from  operations,  as  defined  in the  Limited
         Partnership  Agreement,  subject to increase after the limited partners
         have received certain specified minimum returns on their investment. No
         such  amounts were  incurred  during the six months ended June 30, 1996
         and 1995.

4        CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (continued)

         The general  partners  are  entitled to 1% of  distributable  cash from
         operations  and cash from sales and an  allocation of 1% of taxable net
         income or loss of the Partnership.

         The   Limited   Partnership    Agreement   provides,    under   certain
         circumstances,  for  the  general  partners  to make  certain  payments
         representing  Capital  Account  Deficit  Restoration  upon  termination
         and/or liquidation of the Partnership.  No such amount was deemed to be
         required  to  be  paid  by  the  general  partners   pursuant  to  such
         provisions.

         In April 1995, Equipment Management and certain affiliates entered into
         an agreement with Fieldstone Private Capital Group, L.P. ("Fieldstone")
         pursuant  to  which   Fieldstone   performs   certain   management  and
         administrative  services relating to the Partnership as well as certain
         other  partnerships  in which  Equipment  Management  serves as general
         partner.  Substantially  all costs  associated  with the  retention  of
         Fieldstone will be paid by Equipment Management.

5        LEASE TERMINATION

         On July 1, 1994, upon the receipt of the final rental installment,  the
         lease of one Fokker F-28 Mark 4000 aircraft (the  "Aircraft")  with one
         spare Rolls Royce  555-15 Spey engine (the "Spare  Engine")  expired in
         accordance with its terms.  The associated  nonrecourse debt was repaid
         upon the receipt of the final rental installment.  The Aircraft and the
         Spare Engine were the  Partnership's  remaining  assets and represented
         approximately 47% of the original equipment acquired by the Partnership
         on an  original  cost basis.  The  Aircraft  and the Spare  Engine were
         returned to the  Partnership  and placed into a storage  facility  (see
         Note 6).

6        AIRCRAFT SALE

         On June 7, 1996, the Partnership  completed the process of disposing of
         its remaining  equipment,  the Aircraft and Spare Engine.  The Aircraft
         and  Spare  Engine  were  sold  to  an  unaffiliated  third  party  for
         approximately   $2,282,100  less  selling   expenses  of  approximately
         $130,600.  At the time of sale, such equipment had a net carrying value
         of approximately $1,596,400.

7        DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS

         Distributions  payable to Limited  Partners  and  General  Partners  of
         $2,083,513  ($169.13 per unit) and $21,046,  respectively,  at June 30,
         1996, were paid in August 1996.


ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                                       
         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership  liquidated all
         of  its  remaining  equipment.   The  Partnership  paid  a  final  cash
         distribution  of $169.13 per unit of limited  partnership  interest for
         the six months ended June 30, 1996.

         The  Partnership's  remaining  asset,  a Fokker F-28 Mark 4000 aircraft
         (the  "Aircraft")  with one spare Rolls  Royce  555-15 Spey engine (the
         "Spare  Engine")  represented  approximately  47% of the  Partnership's
         original portfolio.  The associated debt was repaid upon the receipt of
         the final rental installment on July 1, 1994 at which time the lease of
         the Aircraft and the Spare Engine were  terminated in  accordance  with
         its terms.  The  Aircraft  and the Spare  Engine  were  returned to the
         Partnership and placed into a storage facility, until they were sold on
         June 7, 1996.

         In  accordance  with the terms of the  Limited  Partnership  Agreement,
         Equipment  Management  prepared a final accounting of the Partnership's
         assets and liabilities and completed the dissolution and termination of
         the Partnership.  In August 1996, the limited partners received a final
         cash distribution,  which represented  distributable cash from the sale
         of the Aircraft and the Spare Engine,  available for distribution after
         providing for the liquidation of the Partnership's liabilities.

         The Aircraft with the Spare Engine did not generate any cash flow while
         in storage.  On June 7, 1996,  the  Aircraft  and the Spare Engine were
         sold to an unaffiliated  third party for approximately  $2,282,100 less
         selling expenses of approximately  $130,600.  At the time of sale, such
         equipment had a net carrying value of approximately $1,596,400.

         Results of Operations

         The net income  increased for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
         1996 as compared to the quarter and six months  ended June 30, 1995 due
         to the gain recognized on the sale of the Aircraft and Spare Engine and
         an increase in interest income, as well as a reduction in expenses.

         The Partnership did not incur  depreciation  expense during the quarter
         and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995; the remaining  asset owned
         by  the  Partnership  was  accounted  for  as  a  financing  lease  and
         terminated  at July  1,  1994  in  accordance  with  its  lease  terms.
         Operating expenses  decreased  significantly for the periods ended June
         30, 1996, as compared to the  corresponding  periods of the prior year,
         due to a reduction in expenses  incurred  related to the storage of the
         Aircraft  and the Spare  Engine,  which had been  off-lease  since July
         1994, as well as a reduction in administrative costs.
