TEXTAINER EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND VI, L.P.
(a California Limited Partnership)

Notes To Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
(Amounts in thousands except for unit and per unit amounts)
(unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 1.   General

      Textainer  Equipment Income Fund VI, L.P. (the Partnership),  a California
      limited  partnership  with a maximum life of 21 years, was formed in 1995.
      The Partnership  owns a fleet of intermodal  marine cargo containers which
      are leased to international shipping lines.

      The accompanying  interim comparative  financial  statements have not been
      audited by an independent  public  accountant.  However,  all  adjustments
      (which  were only  normal and  recurring  adjustments)  which are,  in the
      opinion of management,  necessary to fairly present the financial position
      of the  Partnership  as of June 30, 2000 and December  31,  1999,  and the
      results of its operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for
      the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, have been made.

      The financial  information  presented herein should be read in conjunction
      with  the  audited  financial  statements  and  other  accompanying  notes
      included in the Partnership's  annual audited  financial  statements as of
      December 31, 1999, in the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

      Certain   estimates  and  assumptions  were  made  by  the   Partnership's
      management that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosures  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at the  date of the
      financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenue and  expenses
      during the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from those
      estimates.

Note 2.   Transactions with Affiliates

      Textainer Capital Corporation (TCC) is the managing general partner of the
      Partnership.  Textainer  Equipment  Management Limited (TEM) and Textainer
      Limited (TL) are the associate  general partners of the  Partnership.  The
      managing  general partner and associate  general partners are collectively
      referred to as the General  Partners and are  commonly  owned by Textainer
      Group  Holding  Limited  (TGH).  The  General  Partners  also  act in this
      capacity for other limited  partnerships.  The General Partners manage and
      control the affairs of the Partnership.

      In accordance with the Partnership Agreement,  sections 3.08 through 3.12,
      net earnings or losses and distributions  are generally  allocated 9.5% to
      the General Partners and 90.5% to the Limited Partners.  If the allocation
      of  distributions  exceeds the  allocation  of net  earnings and creates a
      deficit in a General Partner's capital account, the Partnership  Agreement
      provides for a special  allocation  of gross income equal to the amount of
      the deficit to be made to the General Partners.

      As part of the operation of the Partnership,  the Partnership is to pay to
      the General Partners an equipment  management fee, an incentive management
      fee and an equipment  liquidation fee. These fees are for various services
      provided in  connection  with the  administration  and  management  of the
      Partnership.  The Partnership incurred $26 and $51 of incentive management
      fees  during  the  three  and  six-month  periods  ended  June  30,  2000,
      respectively, and $26 and $57, respectively, for the comparable periods in
      1999. No equipment liquidation fees were incurred during these periods.

      The  Partnership's  containers are managed by TEM. In its role as manager,
      TEM has authority to acquire, hold, manage, lease, sell and dispose of the
      Partnership's  containers.  TEM holds, for the payment of direct operating
      expenses, a reserve of cash that has been collected from container leasing
      operations;  such cash is included in the amount due from affiliates,  net
      at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.

      Subject to certain reductions, TEM receives a monthly equipment management
      fee equal to 7% of gross revenues  attributable to operating leases and 2%
      of gross  revenues  attributable  to full  payout net  leases.  These fees
      totaled $101 and $200 for the three and  six-month  periods ended June 30,
      2000,  respectively,  and $91 and $182,  respectively,  for the comparable
      periods in 1999.  The  Partnership's  container  fleet is leased by TEM to
      third party lessees on operating master leases,  spot leases,  term leases
      and direct finance  leases.  The majority of the container fleet is leased
      under operating master leases with limited terms and no purchase option.

      Certain  indirect  general  and  administrative  costs  such as  salaries,
      employee  benefits,   taxes  and  insurance  are  incurred  in  performing
      administrative  services  necessary to the  operation of the  Partnership.
      These  costs  are  incurred   and  paid  by  TCC  and  TEM.   General  and
      administrative  costs  allocated to the  Partnership  during the three and
      six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 were as follows:

Note 4.   Container Rental Equipment

      New container  prices steadily  declined from 1995 through 1999.  Although
      container  prices began  increasing in 2000, the cost of new containers at
      year-end  1998,  during 1999 and the first half of 2000 was  significantly
      less than the average cost of  containers  purchased  in prior years.  The
      Partnership  evaluated  the  recoverability  of  the  recorded  amount  of
      container  rental equipment for containers to be held for continued use as
      well as for  containers  identified  for sale in the  ordinary  course  of
      business.  Based  on this  evaluation,  the  Partnership  determined  that
      reductions  to the  carrying  value of these  containers  was not required
      during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

      The Partnership will continue to evaluate the  recoverability  of recorded
      amounts of container  rental  equipment  and cautions that a write-down of
      container rental equipment and/or an increase in its depreciation rate may
      be required  in future  periods  for some or all of its  container  rental
      equipment.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

(Amounts in thousands except for unit and per unit amounts)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Financial Statements contain information which will assist in evaluating the
financial  condition of the  Partnership  as of and for the three and  six-month
periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  Please refer to the Financial  Statements
and Notes thereto in connection with the following discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From May 10,  1996  until  April  30,  1997,  the  Partnership  offered  limited
partnership  interests  to the  public.  The  Partnership  received  its minimum
subscription  amount of $1,100 on June 17,  1996,  and raised a total of $36,968
from the offering.

From time to time, the Partnership will redeem units from limited partners for a
specified  redemption  value,  which  is  set  by  formula.  Up  to  2%  of  the
Partnership's outstanding units may be redeemed each year, although the 2% limit
may be exceeded at the Managing General  Partner's  discretion.  All redemptions
are subject to the Managing  General  Partner's  good faith  determination  that
payment for the redeemed units will not (i) cause the Partnership to be taxed as
a  corporation,  (ii) impair the capital or  operations of the  Partnership,  or
(iii) impair the ability of the Partnership to pay  distributions  in accordance
with its distribution policy. Since inception,  the Partnership has not redeemed
any units.

The Partnership invests working capital,  cash flow from operations prior to its
distribution  to the partners and proceeds  from  container  sales that have not
been  used  to  purchase  containers  in  short-term,  liquid  investments.  The
Partnership's  cash is  affected  by  cash  provided  by or  used in  operating,
investing and financing  activities.  These activities  are discussed  in detail
below.

Limited partners are currently receiving monthly  distributions in an annualized
amount equal to 6% of their  original  investment.  During the six-month  period
ended June 30, 2000,  the  Partnership  declared cash  distributions  to limited
partners  pertaining to the period from December 1999 to May 2000, in the amount
of $1,109.  On a cash basis, all of these  distributions  were from current year
operating activities.  On a GAAP basis, $385 of these distributions was a return
of capital and the balance was from net earnings.

At June 30, 2000, the Partnership had no commitments to purchase containers.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999, was $1,958 and $1,379, respectively. The increase of $579, or 42%, was
primarily  attributable  to the increase in net earnings,  adjusted for non-cash
transactions.  Net  earnings,  adjusted  for  non-cash  transactions,  increased
primarily  due to the  increase  in rental  income  and the  decrease  in direct
container expenses. The reasons for these fluctuations are discussed in "Results
of Operations".

For the  six-month  periods  ended  June 30,  2000 net  cash  used in  investing
activities (the purchase and sale of containers)  was $54,  compared to net cash
provided by investing activities of $110, for the comparable period in 1999. The
fluctuation of $164 was primarily due to the increase in container purchases and
the decrease in proceeds from container  sales.  Container  purchases  increased
primarily due to the increase in cash  available for  container  purchases.  The
decrease in proceeds from container  sales was primarily due to the  Partnership
selling damaged  containers  located in low demand  locations at a lower average
sales price during the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 than the same period
in 1999. The sales prices  received on container  sales decreased as a result of
current  market  conditions,  which have  adversely  affected  the value of used
containers.  Until  conditions  improve  in  these  low  demand  locations,  the
Partnership  plans to continue  to sell  damaged  containers  there and may sell
other containers as well. The Partnership  sells containers when (i) a container
reaches the end of its useful life or (ii) an analysis  indicates  that the sale
is  warranted  based on existing  market  conditions  and the  container's  age,
location and condition.  Proceeds from container  sales will fluctuate  based on
the number of containers  sold and the actual price received on the sale.  Sales
proceeds will affect the rate of reinvestment in containers.

The rate of reinvestment is also affected by cash from operations  available for
reinvestment.  Subject to the General Partners' discretion, cash from operations
available  for  reinvestment  is generally  equal to cash  provided by operating
activities  less   distributions   and  redemptions   paid.   Distributions  and
redemptions  are  determined  by the  General  Partners in  accordance  with the
Partnership Agreement.  Consistent with its investment objectives and subject to
its distribution  policy,  the Partnership  intends to continue to reinvest cash
from operations  available for reinvestment  and all or a significant  amount of
the proceeds from container sales in additional  containers.  Although there has
been some recent  improvement  in market  conditions,  overall  existing  market
conditions  have had and may continue to have an adverse effect on the amount of
cash  provided by  operations  that is available  for the purchase of additional
containers.  Additionally, these market conditions have had an adverse effect on
the average sales price recently realized from container sales. Furthermore,  to
the extent new containers are purchased with sales proceeds, they are not likely
to equal the number of containers sold, as new container prices are likely to be
greater than the average  sales price of  containers  sold.  These  factors have
contributed to a lower than anticipated rate of reinvestment.  Market conditions
are  discussed  more fully  under  "Results  of  Operations".  A slower  rate of
reinvestment  will, over time,  affect the size of the  Partnership's  container
fleet.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  income from operations,  which consists  primarily of rental
income, container depreciation,  direct container expenses, management fees, and
reimbursement of administrative expenses was directly related to the size of the
container  fleet during the  six-month  periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, as
well as certain other factors as discussed  below. The following is a summary of
the container fleet (in units) available for lease during those periods:

                                                           2000             1999
                                                           ----             ----

             Beginning container fleet...............    10,642           10,718
             Ending container fleet..................    10,837           10,688
             Average container fleet.................    10,740           10,703

As noted above,  when containers are sold in the future,  sales proceeds are not
likely to be sufficient to replace all of the containers  sold,  which is likely
to result in a trend towards a smaller average  container  fleet.  Other factors
related to the  Partnership's  ability to reinvest  funds in new  containers are
discussed above under "Liquidity and Capital Resources".

Rental income and direct container expenses are also affected by the utilization
of the container fleet, which was 84% and 76% during the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  In addition, rental income is affected by
daily rental  rates,  which have  decreased  between the  periods,  as described
below.

The  following is a comparative  analysis of the results of  operations  for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

The  Partnership's  income from operations for the six-month periods ending June
30, 2000 and 1999 was $815 and $187,  respectively,  on rental  income of $2,850
and $2,601,  respectively.  The increase in rental  income of $249, or 10%, from
the six-month  period ended June 30, 1999 to the  comparable  period in 2000 was
attributable  to increases in container  rental income and other rental  income.
Income from container  rentals,  the major component of total revenue  increased
$246, or 11%,  primarily due to the increase in the average on-hire  utilization
of 11%, partially offset by the decrease in average rental rates of 2%.

The  improvement in  utilization  was due to  improvements  in demand for leased
containers and in the trade balance, primarily as a result of the improvement in
certain Asian  economies and a related  increase in exports out of Europe.  This
improvement  in demand,  coupled with container  lessors'  efforts to sell older
containers in low demand locations, has also reduced the container surplus.

However, the trade imbalance between Asia and North America still exists, and as
a consequence,  the build-up of  containers,  primarily on the East Coast of the
United States  persists.  The  Partnership has been unable to reposition a large
number of newer  containers to higher demand  locations in Asia,  due to lack of
available vessel capacity from the United States East Coast ports.

As a result,  the Partnership  continues to sell some containers  located in low
demand locations,  but primarily only those containers with significant  damage.
The average sales price for used  containers  has  decreased,  partly due to the
trade  imbalance  and the  accompanying  build up of  containers  in low  demand
locations.  Other  Partnerships  managed by the General  Partners  have recorded
write-downs and losses on certain older  containers,  many of which were located
in these low demand  locations.  There have been no such  losses or  write-downs
recorded by the Partnership  primarily due to the young age of the Partnership's
container  fleet.  Sales by the  Partnership in these low demand  locations have
been generally limited to damaged  containers.  However,  as the container fleet
ages,  the  Partnership  may incur losses and/or  write-downs on the sale of its
older containers  located in low demand locations if existing market  conditions
continue.  Additionally,  should the decline in economic  value of continuing to
own such containers turn out to be permanent, the Partnership may be required to
increase its  depreciation  rate or write-down  the value for some or all of its
container rental equipment.

The decline in the purchase price of new  containers  and the container  surplus
mentioned  above have  resulted in the decline in rental rates in recent  years.
However,  as a result of the improvement in demand and increases in the purchase
price of new containers,  rental rates have stabilized  during the first half of
2000.

The General  Partners are  cautiously  optimistic  that rental rates will remain
stable and the current level of utilization  will be maintained  during 2000 and
may improve if demand for leased  containers  and the trade balance  continue to
improve. However, the General Partners caution that utilization, lease rates and
container sale prices could also decline,  adversely affecting the Partnership's
operating results.

The  balance of other  rental  income  consists  of other  lease-related  items,
primarily  income from charges to lessees for dropping off containers in surplus
locations less credits  granted to lessees for leasing  containers  from surplus
locations  (location  income),  income from  charges to lessees for handling and
returning  containers (handling income) and income from charges to lessees for a
Damage  Protection Plan (DPP). For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, other rental income was comparable at $273 and $270, respectively.

Direct  container  expenses  decreased  $327, or 35%, from the six-month  period
ending  June  30,  1999 to the  equivalent  period  in  2000,  primarily  due to
decreases in repositioning and storage expenses of $186 and $131,  respectively.
Repositioning  expense decreased  primarily due to the decrease in the number of
containers  repositioned,   offset  by  an  increase  in  the  average  cost  of
repositioning  containers due to high demand for limited  vessel  capacity noted
above.  Storage expense decreased due to the increase in average utilization and
a decrease in the average storage cost per container.

Bad debt expense decreased from an expense of $32 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1999 to a benefit of $13 for the comparable period in 2000. The benefit
recorded for the  six-month  period ended June 30, 2000 was  primarily due to an
overall lower required reserve at June 30, 2000 than at December 31, 1999.

Depreciation  expense was comparable at $988 and $997 for the six-month  periods
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

New  container  prices  steadily  declined  from  1995  through  1999.  Although
container  prices  began  increasing  in  2000,  the cost of new  containers  at
year-end  1998,  during 1999 and the first half of 2000 was  significantly  less
than the average cost of containers  purchased in prior years.  The  Partnership
evaluated  the  recoverability  of  the  recorded  amount  of  container  rental
equipment for  containers to be held for continued use as well as for containers
identified  for  sale  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business.  Based  on  this
evaluation,  the Partnership determined that reductions to the carrying value of
these  containers was not required  during the six-month  periods ended June 30,
2000 and 1999. The Partnership will continue to evaluate the  recoverability  of
recorded amounts of container rental equipment and cautions that a write-down of
container rental  equipment  and/or an increase in its depreciation  rate may be
required in future periods for some or all of its container rental equipment.

Management  fees to affiliates  increased $12, or 5%, from the six-month  period
ended June 30, 1999 to the  comparable  period in 2000,  due to the  increase in
equipment  management fees, offset by the decrease in incentive management fees.
Equipment  management fees,  which are based on gross revenue,  increased due to
the increase in rental  income and were  approximately  7% of rental  income for
both periods.  Incentive  management fees, which are based on the  Partnership's
limited  and  general  partner   distributions  and  initial  partners'  capital
decreased  due to the decrease in the limited  partner  distribution  percentage
from 8% to 6% of partners' capital in March 1999.

General and administrative  costs to affiliates  decreased $25, or 15%, from the
six-month  period  ended June 30,  1999 to the  comparable  period in 2000.  The
decrease was  primarily due to a decrease in the  allocation  of overhead  costs
from TEM, as the  Partnership  represented a smaller  portion of the total fleet
managed by TEM.

Other income  increased $9 from the six-month  period ended June 30, 1999 to the
comparable  period in 2000 due to the increase in interest income of $23, offset
by the change in gain on sale of containers from a gain of $10 to a loss of $4.

Net earnings per limited partnership unit increased from $0.04 to $0.39 from the
six-month period ending June 30, 1999 to the same period in 2000, reflecting the
increase  in net  earnings  allocated  to  limited  partners  from  $66 to $724,
respectively.  The allocation of net earnings  included a special  allocation of
gross  income  to the  General  Partners  in  accordance  with  the  Partnership
Agreement.


The  following is a comparative  analysis of the results of  operations  for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

The Partnership's income from operations for the three-month periods ending June
30, 2000 and 1999 was $440 and $76, respectively, on rental income of $1,444 and
$1,304,  respectively.  The increase in rental  income of $140, or 11%, from the
three-month  period  ended June 30,  1999 to the  comparable  period in 2000 was
primarily  attributable to the increase in container rental income.  Income from
container rentals  increased $144, or 12%,  primarily due to the increase in the
average on-hire  utilization of 9%,  partially offset by the decrease in average
rental  rates of 3%. For the  three-month  period  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
other rental income was comparable at $131 and $135, respectively.

Direct container  expenses  decreased $210, or 42%, from the three-month  period
ending  June  30,  1999 to the  equivalent  period  in  2000,  primarily  due to
decreases in repositioning  and storage expenses of $132 and $62,  respectively.
Repositioning  expense decreased  primarily due to the decrease in the number of
containers  repositioned,   offset  by  an  increase  in  the  average  cost  of
repositioning  containers  due to the high  demand for limited  vessel  capacity
noted  above.   Storage  expense  decreased  due  to  the  increase  in  average
utilization and a decrease in the average storage cost per container.

Bad debt  expense  decreased  from an expense of $4 for the  three-month  period
ended June 30, 1999 to a benefit of $18 for the  comparable  period in 2000. The
benefit  recorded for the  three-month  period ended June 30, 2000 was primarily
due to an overall  lower  required  reserve  at June 30,  2000 than at March 31,
2000.

Depreciation  expense was comparable at $494 and $498 for the three-month
periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Management fees to affiliates  increased $10, or 9%, from the three-month period
ended June 30, 1999 to the  comparable  period in 2000,  due to the  increase in
equipment management fees, which increased due to the increase in rental income.
These fees were  approximately  7% of rental income for both periods.  Incentive
management fees were comparable at $26 for both periods.

General and  administrative  costs to  affiliates  decreased $4, or 5%, from the
three-month  period ended June 30, 1999 to the  comparable  period in 2000.  The
decrease was due to a decrease in the  allocation of overhead costs from TEM, as
the Partnership represented a smaller portion of the total fleet managed by TEM.

Other  income was $12 for both the  three-month periods  ended June 30, 2000 and
1999 as the increase in interest income of $14 offset the change in gain on sale
of containers of $14.

Net  earnings  per  limited  partnership  unit  increased  from  $0.01  for  the
three-month  period  ending  June 30, 1999 to $0.21 for the same period in 2000,
reflecting the increase in net earnings  allocated to limited  partners from $27
to $392,  respectively.  The  allocation  of net  earnings  included  a  special
allocation  of gross  income to the  General  Partners  in  accordance  with the
Partnership Agreement.

Although  substantially  all of the  Partnership's  income  from  operations  is
derived from assets employed in foreign operations, virtually all of this income
is  denominated  in United  States  dollars.  The  Partnership's  customers  are
international  shipping  lines,  which transport  goods on  international  trade
routes.  The  domicile  of the lessee is not  indicative  of where the lessee is
transporting  the  containers.  The  Partnership's  business risk in its foreign
operations lies with the  creditworthiness of the lessees, and the Partnership's
ability to keep its containers under lease,  rather than the geographic location
of the  containers or the domicile of the lessees.  The containers are generally
operated on the international high seas rather than on domestic  waterways.  The
containers are subject to the risk of war or other political, economic or social
occurrence  where  the  containers  are used,  which  may  result in the loss of
containers,  which,  in turn,  may have a material  impact on the  Partnership's
results of operations  and  financial  condition.  The General  Partners are not
aware of any  conditions as of June 30, 2000,  which would result in such a risk
materializing.

Other risks of the Partnership's  leasing  operations include  competition,  the
cost of  repositioning  containers  after  they come  off-lease,  the risk of an
uninsured  loss,  increases in maintenance  expenses or other costs of operating
the  containers,  and the effect of world trade,  industry trends and/or general
business and economic cycles on the Partnership's operations. See "Risk Factors"
in the Partnership's Prospectus, as supplemented,  for additional information on
risks of the Partnership's business.

Forward Looking Statements

The foregoing includes forward-looking statements and predictions about possible
or  future  events,  results  of  operations  and  financial  condition.   These
statements  and  predictions  may  prove  to  be  inaccurate,   because  of  the
assumptions  made by the  Partnership  or the  General  Partners  or the  actual
development  of  future  events.  No  assurance  can be given  that any of these
forward-looking statements or predictions will ultimately prove to be correct or
even substantially correct. The risks and uncertainties in these forward-looking
statements  include,  but are not  limited  to,  changes  in demand  for  leased
containers,  changes in global  business  conditions  and their  effect on world
trade,  future  modifications  in the way in  which  the  Partnership's  lessees
conduct their business or of the  profitability of their business,  increases or
decreases in new container  prices or the  availability  of financing  therefor,
alterations in the costs of maintaining and repairing used containers, increases
in competition,  changes in the Partnership's  ability to maintain insurance for
its  containers  and its  operations,  the effects of  political  conditions  on
worldwide  shipping and demand for global trade or of other general business and
economic cycles on the  Partnership,  as well as other risks detailed herein and
from time to time in the Partnership's  filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The  Partnership  does  not  undertake  any  obligation  to  update
forward-looking statements.
