Financial Statements The unaudited Financial Statements of Atlas-Energy for the Nineties-Public #6 Ltd. (the "Partnership") for the period January 1, 1999 to March 31, 1999 Item 2. Description of Business The Partnership has placed into production 44.45 net wells to the Clinton/Medina formation in Mercer and Lawrence Counties, Pennsylvania. As of March 31, 1999, all 44.45 net wells are in production. The first quarterly distribution was on June 8, 1998 for natural gas production during January, February and March, 1998. Net Production revenue for the three months was $399,398 which includes landowner royalties. Expenses for this period include $75.00 per month per well for administrative costs and $275.00 per month per well for pumpers fees. For the next twelve months management believes that the Partnership has adequate capital. No other wells will be drilled and, therefore, no additional funds will be required. Although management does not anticipate that the Partnership will have to do so, any additional funds which may be required will be obtained from production revenues from Partnership wells or from borrowings by the Partnership from Atlas or its affiliates, although Atlas is not contractually committed to make such a loan. No borrowings will be obtained from third parties. PART II Item 1. Legal Proceeding None Item 2. Changes in Securities None Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None Item 4.

A PENNSYLVANIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP March 31, 1999 1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements as of March 31, 1999 and for the three months then ended have been prepared by the management of the Partnership without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Partnership believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited December 31, 1998 financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for presentation have been included. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Partnership uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties and drill and equip wells are capitalized. Oil and gas properties are periodically assessed and when unamortized costs exceed expected future net cash flows, a loss is recognized by a charge to income. Capitalized costs of oil and gas wells and leases are depreciated, depleted and amortized by the unit of production method. In 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities. This statement requires costs of start-up activities and organization costs, as defined, to be expensed as incurred. The partnership is required to adopt the provisions of SOP 98-5 effective January 1, 1999 and as a result has written-off the unamortized organization and syndication costs as a charge against Partners' Capital. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto. Results of Operations - --------------------- Three Months (Quarter) Ended March 31, 1999 - ------------------------------------------- Net production revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are up $254,834 (176%) due primarily to normal inclines in natural gas production from 67,314 Mcf in the three months ended March 31, 1998 to 224,614 Mcf in the current three months. The production inclines are net of increases in revenues and operating costs attributable to wells being on-line for the full period in the current three months compared with the prior year. Natural gas prices decreased by $.42/Mcf to $2.03/Mcf during the current three months. Financial Position - ------------------ Liquidity - --------- The partnership's working capital decreased 22% from $434,461 at December 31, 1998 to $340,589 at March 31, 1999. The decrease is attributable to normal declines in natural gas production which resulted in lower receivables for gas produced but not yet sold at the end of the reporting period. Capital Resources - ----------------- There were no new material commitments for capital expenditures during the period and the Partnership does not expect any in the foreseeable future.
