PART I

ITEM 1: BUSINESS
- - -----------------

The Registrant, Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-VI A (the
"Partnership"), is a Delaware Limited Partnership organized in September 1987
pursuant to an Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership Agreement"), under the Revised Delaware Uniform Limited Partnership
Act. The Partnership's General Partners are Realmark Properties, Inc. (the
"Corporate General Partner"), a Delaware corporation, and Joseph M.
Jayson (the "Individual General Partner").

The Registrant commenced the public offering of its limited partnership
units, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended on November 10, 1987, and concluded the
offering on November 10, 1988, having raised a total of $15,737,790 before
deducting sales commissions and expenses of the offering.

The Partnership's primary business and its only industry segment is to own
and operate income-producing real property for the benefit of its limited
partners. As of December 31, 1996 the Partnership owned four (4) apartment
complexes totaling 680 units. The Partnership also owns an office complex
consisting of three buildings with a combined 92,000 square feet of rentable
space. Additionally, the Partnership is a partner in the Carriage House of
Englewood (formerly Gold Key) and Research Triangle Joint Ventures. The Joint
Venture agreements provide the Partnership with a 40% ownership in a 144 unit
apartment complex located in Dayton, Ohio (Carriage House of Englewood) and a
50% ownership in an office/distribution facility in Raleigh, North Carolina. See
also Item 7.

The business of the Partnership is not seasonal. As of December 31, 1996,
the Partnership did not directly employ any persons in a full-time position. All
persons who regularly rendered services on behalf of the Partnership through
December 31, 1996 were employees of the Corporate General Partner or its
affiliates.

The Partnership investment objectives are to (1) provide a return of
capital plus capital gains from the sale of appreciated properties; (2) provide
partners with cash distributions until properties are sold; (3) preserve and
protect partners capital and; (4) increase Partnership equity through the
reduction of mortgage loans.

Occupancy for each complex as of December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was as
follows:
1996 1995 1994

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- - ------- ---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
- - --------------------------------

The Partnership operated through much of 1996 with occupancy problems and
high delinquencies at its residential properties, thus resulting in poor cash
flow. Management is putting considerable efforts into a marketing program to
both attract new tenants and to maintain existing tenants. A great deal of
energy is being spent on not only advertising campaigns, but also the monitoring
of such ads. Managers at the complexes are trying to determine the effectiveness
of the ads being placed and the medium in which they are being placed.
Additionally, managers at all properties have been instructed to concentrate
heavily on collection efforts. The commercial properties in this Partnership
(including the Joint Venture property) continue to operate at almost 100%
occupancy. The market in the areas where these buildings are located is deemed
by management to be very strong and continually growing; expansion of existing
buildings is strongly being considered to help improve cash flow for the entire
Partnership.

The Partnership made no distributions during the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994. The General Partners hope to once again declare a
distribution in the coming year, but at this date, all cash is being utilized to
fund necessary improvements to the properties.

In July of 1996, Carriage House of Englewood (formerly Gold Key Apartments)
came under contract for sale during July 1996. The Partnership is a 40% joint
venture owner of this property. The sale is subject to a number of contingencies
and is cancelable at any time by the buyer. Until such time as all of the buyers
due diligence procedures are performed, no closing date can be established. At
December 31, 1996 it is unclear as to whether this sale will close, so the
General Partners continue to look for a buyer for this property as it is felt
that this is in the best interests of the venturers.

Management has once again implemented corrective action plans in response
to the going concern considerations discussed in Notes 8 and 11 to the financial
statements. These plans include tighter cash management through the closer
monitoring of expenses such as payroll, advertising and maintenance, which have
typically been the expenses that have increased from year to year. Additionally,
tighter credit policies have been put into place as a means of avoiding the
collection problems which the property incurred during the past several years. A
concerted effort at correcting the cash flow shortages and continual losses will
hopefully lead to the ultimate cure of such problems. Management feels that
there is a need to refinance some properties in this Partnership in order to
improve cash flow; the future viability of the Partnership is dependent upon
management's continuing efforts to reduce expenses, increase revenues and on the
ability of management to sell and/or refinance properties.



Results of Operations:
- - ----------------------

For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership incurred a net loss
of $986,192 or $6.08 per limited partnership unit. This is a large decrease from
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 when losses incurred totaled
$1,306,904 or $8.06 per limited partnership unit and $1,560,603 or $9.62 per
limited partnership unit, respectively.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- - ------- ---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Con't.)
------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations (Con't.):
- - -------------------------------

Partnership revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled
$4,039,286, consisting of rental income of $3,699,350 and other income, which
includes interest, laundry income, and other miscellaneous sources of income of
$339,936. The decrease in rental revenue from that of the previous year-end is
the result of decreasing occupancies at Countrybrook Estates, Stonegate
Townhouses, Beaver Creek and The Commons, all of which averaged in the mid-80's
through 1996. Inducon - Columbia and the Partnership's joint venture interest in
Research Triangle were once again the "bright spots" for the Partnership. Both
of these properties experienced high occupancy, good cash collections and
positive cash flow from operations. In order to limit vacancies and improve cash
collections, management continues to offer incentive programs, such as free
months rent or discounted rents for signed leases. Even when such a program is
successful, however, it does result in a short-term decrease in revenues until
full rent is paid. Rental revenues in the year ended December 31, 1995 amounted
to $3,985,317 and in the year ended December 31, 1994 totaled $3,485,626.
Continued vacancies and delinquencies at Carriage House of Englewood (formerly
Gold Key Joint Venture) have also plagued this Partnership as a joint venturer.
Increasing occupancy, as well as decreasing delinquencies, remains the major
focus of management. Tighter credit policies and extended and attractive
incentive programs continue to be management's means of reaching the income
levels needed to improve the cash flow in the Partnership.

Partnership expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled
$4,860,288, a considerable decrease over the expenses of the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 which were $5,312,606 and $5,021,157, respectively.
Almost the entire decrease may be attributed to lower property operations costs
incurred during 1996. Throughout the year, decreases were seen in payroll and
associated costs, repairs and maintenance expenses and contracted services.
Management has focused on closely monitoring expenses and identifying ways of
controlling and cutting them through utility savings devices, increasing
in-house maintenance work, etc. Other expenses remained fairly constant as
compared to the previous year.

The Partnership expects to incur slightly higher property operations
expenses in the coming year due to the costs associated with preparing the
residential units for new tenants (i.e. cleaning, painting, appliance and
carpeting costs). Although this work is necessary in order to increase rental
revenue(s) generated, management continues to keep in mind that expenditures
must be closely monitored so as not to worsen the cash flow from operations of
the Partnership which was slightly negative in 1996. One means of controlling
such expenses has been management's success at obtaining large price discounts
on paint, carpeting and appliances through negotiations with large national
companies, such as Whirlpool.

The Carriage House of Englewood Joint Venture had a net loss of $299,092
for the year ended December 31, 1996. This loss is indicative of the problems
the property in this venture has had with high vacancy losses and extreme
delinquencies. The loss for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $229,583 or
$1.42 per limited partnership unit and $175,458 or $1.08 per limited partnership
unit for the year ended December 31, 1994. In accordance with the joint venture
agreement, 40% of income and losses is to be passed through to the Partnership
and the balance to the other joint venturer.

The Research Triangle Industrial Park West Joint Venture had a net loss of
$91,104 for the year ended December 31, 1996. This loss is a fairly significant
decrease as compared to that of 1995 which amounted to $185,878 and that of 1994
which was $233,478, primarily due to the increase in rental income which the
property has generated. Regular increases in rental income can be expected due
to rental escalation clauses in several of the tenants' leases. In accordance
with the joint venture agreement, one-half of the loss is allocated to each
joint venturer.

Results of Operations (Con't.):

For the year ended December 31, 1996, the tax basis loss was $600,196 or
$3.70 per limited partnership unit compared to a tax loss of $882,192 or $5.44
per unit for the year ended December 31, 1995 and a tax loss of $1,249,237 or
$7.70 per limited partnership unit for the year ended December 31, 1994. The
Partnership agreement provides for the taxable income or losses to be allocated
97% to the Limited Partners and 3% to the General Partners, and in accordance
with this and the Internal Revenue Code, the loss for the year ended December
31, 1996 was allocated in this fashion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Partners
Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership - VI A

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Realmark Property Investors
Limited Partnership- VI A as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 14. These
financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of
the General Partners. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
financial statements and the 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Realmark Property Investors Limited
Partnership-VI A at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our
opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

The accompanying financial statements and financial statement schedule have been
prepared assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 11, the Partnership's recurring losses and three mortgages
maturing in 1997 raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in
Note 11. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994


1. FORMATION AND OPERATION OF PARTNERSHIP:
---------------------------------------

Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-VI A (the "Partnership"), a
Delaware Limited Partnership, was formed on September 21, 1987, to invest in a
diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate investments.

In November 1987, the Partnership commenced the public offering of units of
limited partnership interest. Other than matters relating to the organization,
it had no business activities and, accordingly, had not incurred any expenses or
earned any income until the first interim closing (minimum closing) of the
offering, which occurred on February 12, 1988. All items of income and expense
arose subsequent to this date. As of December 31, 1996, 157,378 units of limited
partnership interest were sold and outstanding, including 30 units held by an
affiliate of the General Partners. The offering terminated on November 10, 1988
with gross offering proceeds of $15,737,790. The General Partners are Realmark
Properties, Inc., the Corporate General Partner and Joseph M. Jayson, the
Individual General Partner. Joseph M. Jayson is the sole stockholder of J.M.
Jayson & Company, Inc. Realmark Properties, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
J.M. Jayson & Company, Inc.

Under the partnership agreement, the General Partners and their affiliates
can receive compensation for services rendered and reimbursement for expenses
incurred on behalf of the Partnership (see Note 6).

The partnership agreement also provides that distribution of funds,
revenues, costs and expenses arising from partnership activities, exclusive of
any sale or refinancing activities, are to be allocated 97% to the Limited
Partners and 3% to the General Partners.

Net income or loss and proceeds arising from a sale or refinancing of
property shall be distributed: first, to the Limited Partners an amount
equivalent to a 7% return on the average of their adjusted capital
contributions; second, to the Limited Partners an amount equal to the return of
their capital investment; third, to the corporate General Partner a 3% property
disposition fee provided, however, that such fees shall be reduced, but not
below zero, by the amounts necessary to pay to Limited Partners whose
subscriptions were accepted by January 31, 1988, an additional cumulative annual
return (not compounded) equal to 2% of their Average Adjusted Capital
Contributions, and to Limited Partners whose subscriptions were accepted between
February 1, 1988 and March 31, 1988, an additional cumulative annual return (not
compounded) equal to 1% of their Average Adjusted Capital Contributions
commencing with the first fiscal quarter following the termination of the
offering of units; fourth, to the Limited Partners, an amount equal to their
capital contributions, then an amount equal to an additional 5% of the average
of their adjusted capital contributions; fifth, to all Partners, an amount equal
to their respective positive capital balances; and finally, in the ratio of 87%
to the Limited Partners and 13% to the General Partners.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
-------------------------------------------

(a) 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.

(b) Cash
----

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes the following items:
cash on hand; cash in checking; and money market savings.

(c) Property and Depreciation:
-------------------------

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. Generally, buildings and improvements
are depreciated over 25 years, and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over 5
years. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the respective assets and totaled $783,559, $829,055
and $760,840 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System is used to calculate depreciation
expense for tax purposes. For further discussion, see Note 3.

(d) Property Acquisition Costs:
--------------------------

Acquisition fees are paid to the General Partner as properties are
acquired, which generally occurs when a contract to purchase the property is
entered into. Acquisition fees are allocated to specific properties when actual
closing takes place. There were no capitalized acquisition fees at December 31,
1996.

(e) Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:
-----------------------------

The Partnership's interest in affiliated joint ventures is accounted for on
the equity method.

(f) Rental Income
-------------

Leases for residential rental properties have terms of one year or less.
Commercial leases have terms ranging from one to five years. Rental income is
recognized on the straight line method over the term of the lease.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Con't.):
---------------------------------------------------

(g) Rents Receivable
----------------

Due to the nature of these accounts, residential rents receivable are fully
reserved as of December 31, 1996 and 1995.


3. ACQUISITION OF RENTAL PROPERTY:
------------------------------

In February 1989, the Partnership acquired an 80 unit apartment complex
(Beaver Creek) located in Beaver County, Pennsylvania for a purchase price of
$1,879,943, which includes $347,404 in acquisition fees.

In June 1989, the Partnership acquired a 240 unit apartment complex
(Countrybrook Estates, formerly West Creeke) located in Louisville, Kentucky for
a purchase price of $5,670,984, which includes $334,285 in acquisition fees. In
September 1992, the Partnership abandoned the sewage treatment station located
on the grounds of the apartment complex which generated a net loss on disposal
for financial statement purposes of $74,671.

Inducon Joint Venture-Columbia (the "Venture") was formed pursuant to an
agreement dated March 16, 1988 between the Partnership and Trion Development
Group, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Corporation"). The primary purpose of
the Venture was to acquire or lease land and construct office/warehouse
buildings as income-producing property. The Partnership contributed initial
capital to the Venture of $1,064,950 which was used to fund the initial
development costs. On May 19, 1989 the Partnership purchased the Corporation's
interest in the Inducon Joint Venture-Columbia for $130,000. The office complex,
located in Columbia, South Carolina, consists of three buildings. The first
building was put into service in July 1989 and has a total cost of $1,793,276
which includes $311,358 in acquisition fees. The second and third buildings were
put into service in December 1991 and have a total cost of $2,346,548 which
includes $48,796 of capitalized interest.

In March 1990, the Partnership acquired a 130 unit apartment complex
(Stonegate) located in Mobile, Alabama for a purchase price of $4,145,367, which
includes $225,620 in acquisition fees.

In March 1991, the Partnership acquired a 230 unit apartment complex (The
Commons on Lewis Avenue, formerly Williamsburg Commons) located in Tulsa,
Oklahoma for a purchase price of $2,965,803, which includes $269,721 in
acquisition fees.

REALMARK PROPERTY INVESTORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-VI A
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)



3. ACQUISITION OF RENTAL PROPERTY (Con't.):
---------------------------------------

In September 1991, the Partnership entered into an agreement and formed a
joint venture with Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnerships II and VI B
(RPILP-II and RPILP-VI B), for the purpose of operating the 250 unit Foxhunt
Apartment complex located in Kettering, Ohio and owned by RPILP II. In April
1992, the Partnership's capital contribution of $389,935 plus interest was
returned by RPILP II and the Partnership's interest in the joint venture ended.

In May 1992, the Partnership entered into an agreement to form a joint
venture with Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership (RPILP) for the
purpose of operating the 144 unit Gold Key Apartments, an apartment complex
located in Dayton, Ohio and owned by RPILP.

In August 1992, the Partnership entered into a joint venture agreement for
the purpose of operating Research Triangle Industrial Park West, a 150,000
square foot office/warehouse facility located in Research Triangle Park, North
Carolina. The original joint venture agreement to develop and operate the
property, created between RPILP-II and Adaron Group (Adaron), was dissolved, and
the Partnership acquired all rights previously held by Adaron. The agreement
provides for 50% of any income or loss to be allocated to both the Partnership
and RPILP II.


4. MORTGAGES AND NOTES PAYABLE
---------------------------

In connection with the acquisition of rental property, the Partnership
obtained mortgages as follows:

Countrybrook Estates (formerly West Creeke)
-------------------------------------------

A mortgage with a balance of $3,950,483 and $3,977,436 at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively, bearing interest at 9.75%. The mortgage provides for
annual principal and interest payments of $413,568 payable in equal monthly
installments. The final payment was originally due on July 1, 1996, but has been
extended to June 1, 1997. Secured by the Countrybrook Estates Complex.

Inducon-Columbia
----------------

On July 27, 1989 a construction loan was approved. Interest on the amount
advanced is at the prime rate (8.25% at December 31, 1996), announced by the
Nations Bank, plus 1.25%. Interest was payable monthly commencing the first
month following the first advance, and continuing until July 10, 1994. On that
date the Partnership had the option of purchasing two one-year extensions by
paying, at the time of each extension, a fee equal to one-half of one percent of
the then outstanding principal balance. The Partnership exercised both of its
options, and extended the due date to July 10, 1996 at which time another
extension was granted to April 1997. On July 26, 1993, the construction loan was
restructured to allow up to $500,000 to be advanced solely for tenant upfit
expenses. All terms under the original agreement are still in effect.

As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, construction loan advances amounted to
$1,776,081 and $1,816,081, respectively. The loan is secured by the
Inducon-Columbia Office/Warehouse buildings.

4. MORTGAGES AND NOTES PAYABLE (Con't.)
------------------------------------

Stonegate
---------

A mortgage with a balance of $1,963,361 and $1,984,073 at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively. The mortgage provided for monthly principal and interest
payments of $18,800 through March 31, 1994. On April 1, 1994 the interest rate
changed to 1% over the corporate base rate charged by the Boatman's National
Bank. The corporate base rate was 9.25% on December 31, 1996. Monthly payments,
from April 1, 1994 through maturity on March 1, 1997 will equal $1,726 in
principal plus accrued interest. A final payment of $1,960,592 plus accrued
interest is due April 1, 1997. Secured by Stonegate Townhouses.

The Commons on Lewis Avenue
---------------------------

A mortgage with a balance of $1,883,236 and $1,895,000 at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively, provides for monthly principal and interest payments
calculated based upon an interest rate ranging from 8-12% annually (10% at
December 31, 1996). The mortgage is due April 1, 2001. Secured by The Commons on
Lewis Avenue apartment complex.

The aggregate maturities of the mortgages payable for each of the next five

1998 20,930
1999 21,081
2000 22,920
2001 1,790,807
-----------
TOTAL $9,573,161
===========



5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
-----------------------------------

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value of certain financial instruments. The fair value of cash,
accounts receivable, accounts receivable - affiliates, accounts payable,
accounts payable, accrued expenses and deposit liabilities approximate the
carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Management has estimated that the fair value of the mortgage payable on
Countrybrook Estates, Stonegate Townhouses and Inducon - Columbia approximate
their carrying values of $3,950,483, $1,963,361 and $1,776,081, respectively, as
the mortgages payable are due and callable in 1997.

Management has estimated that the fair value of the mortgage payable on The
Commons on Lewis Avenue, based on currently available rates, is approximately
$2,062,000. The carrying value of the mortgage is $1,883,236.

REALMARK PROPERTY INVESTORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-VI A
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
--------------------------

Management fees for the management of certain of the Partnership's
properties are paid to an affiliate of the General Partner. The management
agreement provides for 5% of gross monthly rental receipts of the complexes to
be paid as fees for administering the operations of the properties. These fees
totaled $175,892, $210,903 and $179,193 for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994 respectively.

According to the terms of the partnership agreement, the General Partner is
also entitled to receive a partnership management fee equal to 7% of net cash
flow (as defined in the partnership agreement), 2% of which is subordinated to
the limited partners having received an annual cash return equal to 7% of their
adjusted capital contributions. The Corporate General Partner is paid its 5%
partnership management fee annually as cash flow allows. As such, no fees were
charged for the year ended December 31, 1995. This fee totaled $18,000 and
$17,910 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1994, respectively.

The General Partners are also allowed to collect a property disposition fee
upon the sale of acquired properties. This fee is not to exceed the lesser of
50% of amounts customarily charged in arm's-length transactions by others
rendering similar services for comparable properties or 3% of the sales price.
The property disposition fee is subordinate to the Limited Partners receipt of a
cumulative annual return (not compounded) equal to 7% of their average adjusted
capital contributions and to repayment to the Limited Partners of an amount
equal to their original capital contributions. No properties have been sold as
of December 31, 1996 and accordingly, there have been no property disposition
fees paid or earned by the General Partners.

Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, the Corporate General
Partner charges the Partnership for reimbursement of certain costs and expenses
incurred by the corporate general partner and its affiliates in connection with
the administration of the Partnership and acquisition of properties. These
charges were for the Partnership's allocated share of costs and expenses such as
payroll, travel and communication costs related to partnership accounting,
partner communication and relations, and acquisitions of properties and are
included in property operations. Additionally, Partnership accounting and
portfolio management fees, investor services fees and brokerage fees are
allocated based on total assets, number of partners and number of units,
respectively. These costs amounted to $168,511, $165,517 and $156,310 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Accounts receivable - affiliates, which are payable on demand, amounted to
$0 and $802,099 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Construction management fees, computed as a percentage of amounts expended
for capital repairs and maintenance outside the scope of normal property
operations totaled $24,177 for the year ended December 31, 1994. No such fee was
charged for the years ended December 31, 1996 or 1995.

Computer service charges for the Partnership are paid or accrued to an
affiliate of the General Partners. The fee is based upon the number of apartment
units and totaled $11,460, $11,460 and $10,585 for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994 respectively.

7. INCOME TAXES
------------

No provision has been made for income taxes since the income or loss of the
partnership is to be included in the tax returns of the individual partners.

The tax returns of the Partnership are subject to examination by the
Federal and state taxing authorities. Under Federal and state income tax laws,
regulations and rulings, certain types of transactions may be accorded varying
interpretations and, accordingly, reported Partnership amounts could be changed
as a result of any such examination.

The reconciliation of net loss for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994 as reported in the statement of operations, and as would be reported
for tax purposes, is as follows:

8. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES:
----------------------------

On September 27, 1991, the Partnership entered into an agreement and formed
a Joint Venture with Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-II
(RPILP-II), and Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-VI B (RPILP-VI
B). The Joint Venture was formed for the purpose of operating an apartment
complex (Foxhunt Apartments located in Dayton, Ohio) owned by RPILP-II. Under
the terms of the original joint venture agreement, the partnership contributed
$390,000 and RPILP-VI B contributed $1,041,568 to buy out the wraparound
promissory note on the property. RPILP-II contributed the property net of the
first mortgage.

On April 1, 1992, the Partnership's interest in the joint venture was
bought out by RPILP-II for $389,935 plus interest at 15%. The joint venture
agreement had provided that any income, loss, gain, cash flow and sale proceeds
be allocated 63.14% to RPILP-II, 10.04% to the partnership and 26.82% to RPILP-
VI B.

On May 5, 1992, the Partnership entered into an agreement to form a joint
venture with Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership (RPILP) for the
purpose of operating Carriage House of Englewood (formerly the Gold Key
Apartments), an apartment complex located in Englewood, Ohio and owned by RPILP.
Under the terms of the original agreement, the Partnership contributed $497,912
and RPILP contributed the property net of the outstanding mortgage. On March 1,
1993, the Partnership contributed an additional $125,239 to the joint venture.

The original joint venture agreement provided that any income, loss, gain,
cash flow, or sale proceeds be allocated 68% to RPILP and 32% to the
Partnership. An amended joint venture agreement provides that any income, loss,
gain, cash flow, or sale proceeds be allocated 40% to the Partnership and 60% to
RPILP. Due to the recurring losses which has reduced its cash, there is
substantial doubt about the Carriage House of Englewood Joint Venture's ability
to continue as a going concern.

Due to the General Partners active relationship with each venturer, the
Partnership accounts for its interest on the equity method. The equity ownership
was determined based upon the cash paid into the joint venture by the
Partnership as a percentage of the General Partner's estimate of the fair market
value of the apartment complex and other assets at the date of inception.

In July 1996, the Partnership entered into a plan to dispose of the
property, plant and equipment of the joint venture with a carrying amount of
$1,191,451 at December 31, 1996 and a net loss of $299,092 for the year ended
December 31, 1996. Management has determined that a sale of the property is in
the best interests of the investors. As of December 31, 1996, an agreement,
cancelable by the buyer, has been signed with an anticipated sales price of
$3,700,000.

In connection with the pending sale, the joint venture has received
$220,000 in non-refundable deposits, of which $47,200 is represented by a note
receivable from the buyer.

Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF (the
"Statement") requires that assets to be disposed of be recorded at the lower of
carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. The Statement also requires
that such assets not be depreciated during the disposal period, as the assets
will be recovered through sale rather than through operations. In accordance
with this Statement, the long-lived assets of the Partnership, classified as
held for sale on the balance sheet, are recorded at the carrying amount which is
the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, and have not been
depreciated during the disposal period. Depreciation expense, not recorded
during the disposal period, for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled
approximately $44,000.

9. LEASES (LESSEE):
---------------

In connection with the development of property in Columbia, South Carolina,
the Partnership entered into a land lease agreement with the Richland-Lexington
Airport District for a period of sixty years. The lease covers two parcels of
land approximately 4.5 acres each, located within the boundaries of the Columbia
Metropolitan Airport in an area designated as a Foreign Trade Zone. The lease
requires minimum monthly rental payments of $9,084 and includes a rental
escalation clause based on the consumer price index for the remainder of the
term. The lease is being accounted for as an operating lease. The agreement also
includes an option to lease a third parcel of land measuring approximately 5.5
acres.

Minimum future rental payments for each of the next five years are as
follows:
Year Amount
---- ------

1997 $ 109,008
1998 109,008
1999 109,008
2000 109,008
2001 109,008


10. LEASES (LESSOR):
---------------

In connection with the Inducon - Columbia property, the Partnership has
entered into commercial lease agreements with terms from one to five years.
Minimum future rentals to be received for each of the next five years under
noncancelable operating leases are as follows:

Year Amount
---- ------

1997 $ 544,126
1998 396,906
1999 307,968
2000 67,303
2001 39,260


11. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS:
----------------------------

The Partnership has sustained recurring losses and, as discussed in Note 4,
final payments are due in 1997 for the Countrybrook Estates, Inducon - Columbia
and Stonegate Townhouses mortgages. Management is currently seeking refinancing
for these mortgages. These factors combined have raised substantial doubt about
the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is continuing its efforts to reduce expenses and increase rents
and also to sell or refinance existing properties.
