revenue,  income  and  loss  from  operations  and  gain or loss on the  sale of
aircraft are to be allocated  to the general  partner and the limited  partners.
Such  allocations are made using income or loss  calculated  under GAAP for book
purposes, which varies from income or loss calculated for tax purposes.

Cash  available  for  distributions,  including  the  proceeds  from the sale of
aircraft,  is  distributed  10% to the  general  partner  and 90% to the limited
partners.

The different methods of allocating items of income, loss and cash available for
distribution  combined with the calculation of items of income and loss for book
and  tax  purposes  result  in  book  basis  capital   accounts  that  may  vary
significantly  from tax basis capital  accounts.  The ultimate  liquidation  and
distribution  of remaining cash will be based on the tax basis capital  accounts
following liquidation, in accordance with the Agreement.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

As discussed below under "Liquidity and Cash Distributions,"  Polaris Investment
Management  Corporation,  (PIMC or the  General  Partner),  is in the process of
winding up the business of Polaris  Aircraft  Income Fund VI (the  Partnership).
During 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining  portfolio of 2 used aircraft to
Triton Aviation Services VI LLC (Triton).


Partnership Operations

The Partnership reported a net loss of $25,254, or $0.36 per limited partnership
unit,  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998,  compared to net income of
$203,503, or $2.60 per unit, for the same period in 1997. Current year operating
results declined substantially,  compared to the same period in 1997, due to the
sale of the Partnership's remaining aircraft in 1997, as discussed above.

Operating  expenses  increased  during the three  months ended March 31, 1998 as
compared  to the same  period  in 1997,  due to an  increase  in legal  expenses
related to the sale of the remaining aircraft.


Liquidity and Cash Distributions

Liquidity - As previously discussed, the Partnership sold its remaining aircraft
during 1997. Polaris Investment Management Corporation, the general partner, has
determined that the  Partnership  maintain cash reserves as a prudent measure to
ensure  that  the  Partnership  has  available   sufficient   funds  to  satisfy
anticipated  contingencies  and  expenses  in  connection  with  winding  up its
business.

Cash  Distributions  - The  Partnership  is now in the process of winding up its
business. With the exception of reserves maintained for anticipated expenses and
costs of winding  up, the  Partnership  distributed  all of its  available  cash
during 1997.  Consequently,  the timing and amount of future cash distributions,
if any,  are not yet  known  and will  depend  upon  whether  the  Partnership's
reserves exceed its actual expenses and  contingencies  in winding up and on the
time required to complete the winding up process.
