                                     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

-------   ---------------------------------------
          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.

     The  Corporate  General  Partner is  entitled to a  continuing  Partnership
Management  Fee  equal to 7% of net cash  flow (as  defined  in the  Partnership
Agreement),  of which 2% is subordinated to the receipt by the Limited  Partners

adjusted Capital  Contributions (as defined in the Partnership  Agreement).  The
Corporate General Partner is paid its 5% Partnership  Management Fee annually as
cash flow allows. The 2% subordinated fee will not be paid or accrued until such
time as the Limited  Partners have  received  their 7% return and payment of the

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.

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

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.

     (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

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

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.

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.

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

     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.

     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

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

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
            ----                                       ------

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

            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.
