We have also audited the financial statement schedule included on pages 20 to 23 of this Annual Report. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the General Partners. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the General Partners, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Corporate Property Associates 6 - a California limited partnership and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the Schedule of Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation as of December 31, 1996, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial information required to be included therein pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Rule 12-28. /s/Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Basis of Consolidation: Theconsolidated financial statements include the accounts of Corporate Property Associates 6 and two 99% owned subsidiaries, CPA(R) Burnhaven Limited Partnership and CPA(R) Peerless Limited Partnership, (collectively, the "Partnership"). Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates Real Estate Leased to Others: Real estate is leased to others on a net lease basis, whereby the tenant is generally responsible for all operating expenses relating to the property, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, renewals and betterments. The Partnership diversifies its real estate investments among various corporate tenants engaged in different industries and by property type throughout the United States. The leases are accounted for under either the direct financing or operating methods. Such methods are described below: Direct financing method - Leases accounted for under the direct financing method are recorded at their net investment (Note 5). Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income over the lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the Partnership's net investment in the lease. Operating method - Real estate is recorded at cost, revenue is recognized as rentals are earned and expenses (including depreciation) are charged to operations as incurred. The Partnership assesses the recoverability of its real estate assets, including residual interests, based on projections of undiscounted cash flows over the life of such assets. In the event that such cash flows are insufficient, the assets are adjusted to their estimated net realizable value. Substantially all of the Partnership's leases provide for either scheduled rent increases, periodic rent increases based on formulas indexed to increases in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") or sales overrides. Operating Real Estate: Land, buildings and personal property are carried at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized to the property accounts, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently. Continued - 11 - 10 CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 6 - a California limited partnership and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES to CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued Depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the components of the particular properties, which range from 5 to 30 years. Cash Equivalents: The Partnership considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of generally three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Items classified as cash equivalents include commercial paper and money market funds. Substantially all of the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1995 and 1996 were held in the custody of three financial institutions. Other Assets: Included in the assets are deferred charges incurred in connection with mortgage note financings which are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the mortgages. Income Taxes: A partnership is not liable for Federal income taxes as each partner recognizes his proportionate share of the partnership income or loss in his tax return. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is recognized for financial statement purposes. Deferred Rental Income: A lease amendment fee of $3,800,000 received in 1995 in connection with the amendment of one of the Partnership's leases is being amortized as deferred rental income from the date of the amendment through the end of the initial term of the lease (15-1/2 years). Reclassifications: Certain 1994 and 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 financial statement presentation. 2. Partnership Agreement: The Partnership was organized on July 23, 1984 under the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of California for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and leasing industrial and commercial real estate. The Corporate General Partner purchased 100 Limited Partnership Units in connection with the Partnership's public offering. The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2004, or sooner, in accordance with the terms of the Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Agreement"). Continued - 12 - 11 CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 6 - a California limited partnership and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES to CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued The Agreement provides that the General Partners are allocated 6% (1% to the Individual General Partner, William P. Carey, and 5% to the Corporate General Partner, Carey Corporate Property, Inc. ("Carey Property"), an affiliate of the General Partner), and the Limited Partners are allocated 94% of the profits and losses as well as distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations, as defined. The partners are also entitled to receive net proceeds from the sale of the Partnership properties as defined in the Agreement. In accordance with the Agreement, the General Partners, were allocated the gain on the sale of real estate as well as the related tax gain in order to reduce their negative balances because they had negative capital balances at the beginning of the year. The General Partners may be entitled to receive a subordinated preferred return, measured based upon the cumulative proceeds arising from the sale of Partnership assets. Pursuant to the subordination provisions of the Agreement, the preferred return may be paid only after the limited partners receive 100% of their initial investment from the proceeds of asset sales and a cumulative annual return of 6% since the inception of the Partnership. The General Partners interest in such preferred return amounts to $18,099 based upon the cumulative proceeds from the sale of assets since the inception of the Partnership through December 31, 1996. The Partnership's ability to satisfy the subordination provisions of the Agreement may not be determinable until liquidation of a substantial portion of the Partnership's assets has been made, formal plans of liquidation are adopted or limited partnership units are converted to other securities which provide the security holder with greater liquidity than a limited partnership unit. Management believes that as of the report date, ultimate payment of the preferred return is reasonably possible but not probable, as defined pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5. 3. Transactions with Related Parties: The Partnership holds its 35% interest in hotel properties in Alpena and Petoskey, Michigan and its 34.4828% ownership interest in a hotel property in Livonia, Michigan as tenants-in-common with affiliates who own the remaining interests. The Partnership's interests in the assets and liabilities of the hotel properties are accounted for on a proportional basis. The Partnership holds a $1,151,000 note receivable made by Corporate Property Associates 5 ("CPA(R):5"), an affiliate. The note bears interest at the rate of 13.48% through August 1, 1999, at which time the interest rate will reset to the Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) at that date. The note matures on May 1, 2012, at which time the entire outstanding principal balance will be due. Under certain circumstances, the principal balance on the note may be reduced. Under the Agreement, W.P. Carey & Co., Inc. ("W.P. Carey") and other affiliates are entitled to receive a property management fee and reimbursement of certain expenses incurred in connection with the Partnership's operations. General and administrative expense reimbursements consist primarily of the actual cost of personnel needed in providing administrative services necessary to the operation of the Partnership. Property management fee and general and administrative expense reimbursements are summarized as follows: 1994 1995 1996 ---- ---- ---- Property management fee $ 97,849 $156,629 $111,048 General and administrative expense reimbursements 154,562 152,795 115,128 -------- -------- -------- $252,411 $309,424 $226,176 ======== ======== ======== Continued - 13 - 12 CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 6 - a California limited partnership and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES to CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued During 1994, 1995 and 1996, fees aggregating $96,539, $102,893 and $44,215, respectively, were incurred for legal services performed by a firm in which the Secretary of W.P. Carey, Carey Property and other affiliates is a partner. The Partnership is a participant in an agreement with W.P. Carey and other affiliates for the purpose of leasing office space used for the administration of real estate entities and W.P. Carey and for sharing the associated costs. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Partnership's share of rental, occupancy and leasehold improvement costs is based on adjusted gross revenues as defined. Net expenses incurred in 1994, 1995 and 1996 were $61,327, $94,719 and $108,362, respectively. 4. Real Estate Leased to Others Accounted for Under the Operating Method and Operating Real Estate: A.

Hotel Property in Livonia, Michigan: In November 1987, the Partnership and Corporate Property Associates 7 ("CPA(R):7"), an affiliate, purchased a Holiday Inn in Livonia, Michigan with 34.4828% and 65.5172% interests, respectively, as tenants-in-common and entered into a net lease with Brock Hotel Corporation which subsequently changed its name to Integra - A Hotel and Restaurant Company ("Integra"). Integra subsequently assigned its interest in the lease to a wholly-owned subsidiary, Livonia Inn Management, Inc. while Integra remained the guarantor of the lease. Continued - 17 - 16 CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 6 - a California limited partnership and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES to CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued As a result of Integra's financial condition, the subsidiary stopped paying rent in May 1992 with Integra subsequently filing a voluntary bankruptcy petition in July 1992. Both of these events were defaults under the lease as well as under the mortgage note collateralized by the Livonia property. In August 1992, pursuant to a letter of agreement, the Partnership and CPA(R):7 assumed control of the hotel operations. In March 1994, the Partnership and CPA(R):7 executed a settlement agreement with the Hallwood Group, Inc. ("Hallwood Group"), Integra's largest shareholder, under which the Partnership and CPA(R):7 agreed to surrender a promissory note made by Hallwood Group, which had been pledged by Integra to the Partnership and CPA(R):7 as additional collateral to Integra's lease obligation, in exchange for $150,000 in cash, a $500,000 promissory note from Hallwood Group and an equity participation having a potential value of up to $500,000 from the Hallwood Group. The $500,000 note bears interest at 8% per annum and matures no later than March 8, 1998 and, subject to certain conditions, is redeemable at an earlier date. The note is collateralized by the Hallwood Group's pledge of 89,269 of its limited partnership units of Hallwood Realty Partners, L.P. ("Hallwood Realty"), a publicly traded limited partnership. The pledged units represent 5.2% of all outstanding limited partnership units of Hallwood Realty. Under the settlement agreement, the Hallwood Group has the obligation to pay to the Partnership and CPA(R):7 an amount equal to 25% of the increase in value of the Hallwood Realty units up to $500,000, from March 1994 to the note maturity date. If the price per unit increases to $45 or greater, the Partnership and CPA(R):7 may, subject to certain restrictions, receive a payment from the Hallwood Group representing the 25% appreciation of the pledged units prior to the note maturity date. At December 31, 1996, the pledged limited partnership units had a market value of $24 1/2 per unit. The Partnership's share of the cash proceeds and the note receivable of $224,138 are included in other income 1994. During 1996, the Partnership and CPA(R):7 received $221,000 (of which the Partnership's share was $77,000) from the bankruptcy trustee in partial settlement of the Partnership's and CPA(R):7's claim against Integra. 11. Extraordinary Gain on Extinguishment of Debt: In May 1995, the Partnership and Anthony's Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("Anthony's") entered into a settlement agreement at which time the Partnership withdrew its eviction suit against Anthony's. The Partnership had filed an eviction notice because Anthony's had not paid a scheduled monthly rent increase of $10,485 which had been effective since March 1992 and had made only two monthly rental payments between February 1994 and April 1995. In connection with the settlement agreement, Anthony's made lump sum payments aggregating $1,550,000 in settlement of a rent arrearage of $1,712,098. Of the $1,550,000 received $561,710 was applied to 1995 rents receivable for the period from January 1, 1995 through May 31, 1995 with the remaining $988,290 applied to prior period rents. The amounts related to prior periods, had been included in the Partnership's reserve for uncollected rents. Net of the legal costs of the settlement of $300,476, the Partnership recognized $687,814 on the settlement which was included as other income in 1995. Under the settlement, the Partnership and Anthony's agreed to modify the existing lease. Under the lease modification agreement, Anthony's monthly rental payment decreased from $112,342 to $73,000 and the expiration of the initial term of the lease was extended to May 2007 from February 2002. The amended lease also provides for rental increases in 1998, 2001 and 2005. Continued - 18 - 17 CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 6 - a California limited partnership and SUBSIDIARIES NOTES to CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued In May 1995, the Partnership paid off and satisfied the mortgage loan collateralized by the Anthony's properties. The lender accepted a payment of $5,440,000 to satisfy an outstanding principal balance of $6,853,966 and accrued interest thereon of $705,387. In connection with the satisfaction of the debt, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on the extinguishment of debt of $2,088,268, net of certain related legal costs in 1995. To pay off the mortgage obligation, the Partnership used the $1,550,000 received from Anthony's under the settlement agreement and obtained $4,000,000 of financing from its credit agreement (see Note 6B). 12. Gain on Sales of Real Estate: On January 26, 1996 and April 26, 1996, the Partnership sold property in Dalton, Georgia and Birmingham Alabama, respectively, leased to AutoZone, Inc. ("AutoZone"), at an aggregate price of $603,285, net of selling costs, realizing a gain of $70,878 on the sales. AutoZone's leases allow it to sever properties from its leases and purchase such properties which it judges to be unsuitable for its retail business. The Partnership was required to assign the proceeds of the sales to its lender as a partial prepayment on the mortgage loan collateralized by the AutoZone property. In connection with the sales, annual rent of the AutoZone lease was reduced by $67,635; however, cash flow increased as annual debt service on the mortgage loan was reduced by $98,197 as a result of a reamortization of the loan. 13 Environmental Matters: All of the Partnership's properties, other than the hotel properties, are currently leased to corporate tenants. All of the properties are subject to environmental statutes and regulations regarding the discharge of hazardous materials and related remediation obligations. The Partnership generally structures a lease to require the tenant to comply with all laws. In addition, substantially all of the Partnership's net leases include provisions which require tenants to indemnify the Partnership from all liabilities and losses related to their operations at the leased properties. The costs for remediation, which are expected to be performed and paid by the affected tenant, are not expected to be material. In the event that the Partnership absorbs a portion of any costs because of a tenant's failure to fulfill its obligations, the General Partners believe such expenditures will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. In 1994, based on the results of Phase I environmental reviews performed in 1993, the Partnership voluntarily conducted Phase II environmental reviews on various of its properties. The Partnership believes, based on the results of such Phase I and Phase II reviews, that its properties are in substantial compliance with Federal and state environmental statutes and regulations. Portions of certain properties have been documented as having a limited degree of contamination, principally in connection with leakage from underground storage tanks or surface spills. For those conditions which were identified, the Partnership advised the affected tenant of the Phase II findings and of its obligation to perform required remediation. 14. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The Partnership estimates that the fair value of mortgage notes payable approximates the carrying amount of such mortgage notes at December 31, 1996. The fair value of debt instruments was evaluated using a discounted cash flow with discount rates which take into account the credit of the tenants and interest rate risk. The Partnership note payable is a variable rate obligation indexed to the three-month LIBOR. Accordingly, the carrying amount of the note payable approximates fair value as of December 31, 1996. - 19 - 18 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
