1.    GENERAL PARTNERS' DISCLOSURE
      ----------------------------

      In the opinion of the General  Partners  of  Realmark  Property  Investors
      Limited   Partnership   VI-A,  all   adjustments   necessary  for  a  fair
      presentation  of  the  Partnership's   financial   position,   results  of
      operations  and changes in cash flows for the six month periods ended June
      30,  1997 and  1996,  have  been made in the  financial  statements.  Such
      financial statements are unaudited and subject to any year-end adjustments
      which may be necessary.


2.    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
      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.
      The offering was concluded on November 10, 1988,  at which time  157,377.9
      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.,  a
      wholly-owned  subsidiary  of J.M.  Jayson &  Company,  Inc.  and Joseph M.
      Jayson,  the  Individual  General  Partner.  Joseph M.  Jayson is the sole
      shareholder 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.

      FORMATION AND OPERATION OF PARTNERSHIP (CONTINUED)
      --------------------------------------------------

      Net income or loss and proceeds  arising from a sale or refinancing  shall
      be distributed first to the limited partners in amounts equivalent to a 7%
      return on the average of their  adjusted  capital  contributions,  then an
      amount equal to their  capital  contributions,  then an amount equal to an
      additional 5% of the average of their adjusted capital contributions after
      the general  partners  receive a 3% property  disposition  fee.  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% based on
      their average  adjusted  capital  contributions,  and to limited  partners
      whose  subscriptions  were accepted  between February 1, 1988 and June 30,
      1988, an additional  cumulative annual return (not compounded) equal to 1%
      based on their average adjusted capital contributions  commencing with the
      first fiscal quarter  following the  termination of the offering of units,
      then to all  partners  in 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.

      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.

 3.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
       ------------------------------------------

      Cash
      ----

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

      Property and Depreciation
      -------------------------

      Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
      useful lives of the respective  assets.  Expenditures  for maintenance and
      repairs are expensed as incurred,  and major renewals and  betterments are
      capitalized. The Accelerated Cost Recovery System and Modified Accelerated
      Cost Recovery  System are used to determine  depreciation  expense for tax
      purposes.

      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
      ------------------------------------------------------

      Acquisition Fees
      ----------------

      Acquisition  fees  are  paid to the  general  partner  as  properties  are
      specified, 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. Acquisition fees paid for properties that
      ultimately are not acquired will be applied toward other  properties  that
      are acquired or reallocated to existing properties.

      Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
      -----------------------------

      The Partnership's  investment in affiliated real estate joint ventures are
      accounted for on the equity method.

      Rental Income
      -------------

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

      Rents Receivable
      ----------------

      Due to the nature of these  accounts,  residential  rents  receivable  are
      fully reserved as of June 30, 1997 and 1996.

4.    ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF RENTAL PROPERTY
      ----------------------------------------------

      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 and 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 development  costs. On May 19, 1989 the Partnership  purchased
      the minority  venturer's  interest in the Inducon Joint Venture - Columbia
      for $130,000.  The office  complex,  located in Columbia,  South Carolina,
      consists of four (4)  buildings.  The first phase was placed in service in
      July 1989 and has a total cost of $1,793,276,  which includes  $311,358 in
      acquisition fees. The second phase was put in service in December 1991 and
      has a total cost of  $1,815,206,  which  includes  $48,796 of  capitalized
      interest.

      In June  1989  the  Partnership  acquired  a 240  unit  apartment  complex

      Kentucky for a purchase  price of $5,670,984,  which included  $334,285 in

      VI-B (RPILP II and VI-B) for the purpose of operating the 250 unit Foxhunt
      Apartments  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  located in
      Englewood, 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 Durham, North Carolina.
      The original joint venture  agreement to develop and operate the property,
      created between Realmark Property Investors Limited  Partnership II (RPILP
      II) and Adaron Group (Adaron), was dissolved, and the Partnership acquired
      all rights held by Adaron.

      On July 27, 1989 a construction loan was approved.  Interest on the amount
      advanced is at the prime rate, as announced by Nations  Bank,  plus 1.25%.
      Interest  is payable in monthly  installments  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 has 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 June 30, 1997 and 1996 loan advances
      amounted to $1,750,000 and $1,816,081, respectively. The loan has not been
      formally extended, and is therefore due on demand as of June 30, 1997.

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

      Management  fees  for  the  management  of  certain  of the  Partnership's
      properties  are  paid  to  an  affiliate  of  the  General  Partners.  The
      management  agreement  provides  for 5% of gross  monthly  receipts of the
      complexes  to be paid as fees  for  administering  the  operations  of the
      properties.  These fees  totaled  $102,885  and $98,324 for the six months
      ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, 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.  There were no such
      fees paid or accrued for the six months ended June 30, 1997 or 1996.

      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 payments
      to the limited  partners of a cumulative  annual  return (not  compounded)
      equal to 7% of their average adjusted capital balances and to repayment to
      the  limited  partners  of an  amount  equal  to  their  original  capital
      contributions.  No  properties  have  been  sold as of June  30,  1997 and
      accordingly,  there have been no property  disposition fees paid or earned
      by the general partner.

      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 are for the  Partnership's  allocated  share of
      such costs and expenses as payroll, travel, communication costs related to
      partnership   accounting,   partner   communication  and  relations,   and
      acquisition  of   properties.   Partnership   accounting,   communication,
      marketing and  acquisition  expenses are allocated  based on total assets,
      number of partners and number of units, respectively.

      Computer  service charges for the  partnerships  are paid or accrued to an
      affiliate  of the  General  Partner.  The fee is based  upon the number of
      apartment  units and totaled $5,280 for both the six months ended June 30,
      1997 and 1996.

      Accounts  payable - affiliates  amounted to $27,397 at June 30, 1997. This
      balance is payable  to the  General  Partners  and/or  its  affiliates  on
      demand.

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.

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

      On September 27, 1991 the Partnership  entered into an agreement to form 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  the
      Foxhunt  Apartments  located in Dayton,  Ohio and owned by RPILP II. Under
      the terms of the original 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  accrued  interest at 15%.  The
      joint venture  agreement had provided that any income,  loss,  gain,  cash
      flow or sale  proceeds  be  allocated  63.14% to RPILP  II,  10.04% to the
      Partnership, and 26.82% to RPILP VI-B. The allocated net loss of the joint
      venture from the date of inception through April 1, 1992 was accounted for
      on the equity method due to the general partner's active relationship with
      each venturer.

      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  the Gold Key  Apartments  located in  Englewood,
      Ohio and owned by RPILP.  Under the terms of the  original  joint  venture
      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,  in
      the process increasing its ownership  percentage in the joint venture. The
      joint venture  agreement had provided that any income,  loss,  gain,  cash
      flow  or  sale  proceeds  be  allocated  68%  to  RPILP  and  32%  to  the
      Partnership.   The  additional  1993  capital   contribution  changed  the
      allocation to 60% and 40%, respectively.

      Due to the general partner's active  relationship with each venturer,  the
      Partnership  accounts  for its interest on the equity  method.  The equity
      ownership  has been  determined  based upon the cash paid into the general
      partner's  estimate of the fair market value of the apartment  complex and
      other assets at the date of inception.

      A summary of the assets, liabilities and partners' capital (deficiency) of
      the  joint  venture  as of June 30,  1997 and  December  31,  1996 and the
      results of its  operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

      On August 20, 1992 the Partnership  entered into a joint venture agreement
      for the purpose of operating  Research  Triangle  Industrial Park West, an
      office/warehouse  facility located in Durham, North Carolina. The original
      joint  venture  agreement  to develop  and operate  the  property  created
      between Realmark Property Investors Limited  Partnership II (RPILP II) and
      Adaron Group (Adaron) was dissolved, and the Partnership acquired Adaron's
      interest in the joint venture.  In the  transaction,  the Partnership paid
      $575,459 to Adaron and 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.

PART II  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
         OF OPERATIONS.
         --------------

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

The  Partnership  struggled this quarter with  continued low  occupancies at The
Commons on Lewis Avenue,  Countrybrook  Estates and Carriage  House of Englewood
(formerly  Gold  Key  Apartments).  The  other  properties  in  the  Partnership
continued  to  enjoy  stable,  and in many  cases,  high  occupancies.  Although
operating revenue decreased from the same six month period in the previous year,
total  expenses  also  decreased  by almost the same  amount  thus  causing  the
Partnership's net loss to remain almost unchanged. Management is optimistic that
the decrease in expenses will continue as more control is being  exercised  over
expenditures; with more control over spending now in place, management continues
to focus great effort on finding ways to increase operating revenue.

The Partnership  successfully  refinanced  several  mortgages  during the second
quarter of 1997.  The  refinancings  resulted in  decreased  interest  rates and
should therefore lead to increased cash flow. The refinancings  also resulted in
the setting up of repair and  replacement  escrow accounts which should help the
Partnership complete necessary improvements to the properties.

There were no  distributions  for the six month  periods  ended June 30,1997 and
1996. The Partnership has been utilizing its cash to fund capital  improvements;
management expects to continue making  improvements (e.g.  painting,  carpet and
appliance  replacements,  etc.)  to the  properties  in an  effort  to  increase
occupancies, so it is unlikely that any distributions will be made during 1997.


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

For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the  Partnership's  net loss was $84,687 or
$0.52 per limited partnership unit. Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 1996
amounted to $283,267 or $1.75 per unit.  For the six month period ended June 30,
1997,  the net loss  was  $363,397  or $2.24  per  limited  partnership  unit as
compared to $355,942  or $2.19 per  limited  partnership  unit for the six month
period ended June 30, 1996.

Results of Operations  (continued):
-----------------------------------

Partnership  revenue for the quarter  ended June 30, 1997 totaled  $988,798,  an
increase of approximately $84,000 from the 1996 amount of $905,024. Total rental
revenue  increased almost $13,500,  while interest and other income rose by just
over $70,000 thus making up most of the increase in total revenue.  The majority
of the increase in other income is the result of increases in laundry income and
cancellation  fees charged.  For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, there
was a significant decrease in rental revenue when compared to the same period in
the previous  year.  Such  decrease can be attributed to continued low occupancy
levels at Countrybrook  Estates  (formerly West Creeke) and The Commons on Lewis
Avenue.

Compared to the prior year, physical occupancy dropped, while rental concessions
and  delinquencies  drastically  increased from $106,886 in 1996 to $196,774 for
the first six months of 1997.  Management  continues to offer rental concessions
and other promotions in an attempt to increase the occupancies.

For  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1997,   Partnership  expenses  amounted  to
$1,034,119,  decreasing by almost $48,000 from the same 1996 quarter amount. For
the six month  period  ended June 30, 1997,  Partnership  expenses  decreased by
approximately $52,000 from the same period in 1996. A large decrease in property
operations  expenditures  was responsible for essentially all of the decrease in
expenses.  Although there were slight increases in various operations  expenses,
such as  payroll,  contracted  services  and  utilities,  significant  insurance
proceeds  were  received as a result of a flood that  occurred at  Countrybrook.
These funds were then used to complete  the  resulting,  as well as  additional,
repairs  and  maintenance  items  to the  property.  There  was an  increase  in
administrative  expenses  between  the two six  month  periods  totaling  almost
$105,000.  This  increase  continues,  as was noted during the first  quarter of
1997, to be the result of increased legal fees associated with  collections,  as
well as  increased  portfolio  management  charges,  investor  service  fees and
brokerage fees (the result of efforts to sell Countrybrook).

For the six month period ended June 30,  1997,  the Carriage  House of Englewood
Joint Venture generated a net loss of $149,543, an increase from the net loss of
$113,028 for the six month period ended June 30, 1996.  Pursuant to the terms of
the joint venture  agreement,  the Partnership was allocated $59,817 of the loss
in 1997 and $45,211 of the loss in 1996.
