                  Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
                                   (Unaudited)


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 nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
     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 September 30, 1996 and 1995.

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
     (Countrybrook  Estates,   formerly  West  Creeke)  located  in  Louisville,
     Kentucky for a purchase  price of $5,670,984,  which  included  $334,285 in
     acquisition fees.

     In March  1990 the  Partnership  purchased  a 131  unit  apartment  complex
     (Stonegate) located in Mobile,  Alabama for a purchase price of $4,145,367,
     which included $225,620 in acquisition fees.

     acquisition fees.

     In September  1991 the  Partnership  entered into an agreement and formed a
     joint venture with Realmark Property  Investors Limited  Partnership II and
     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.

5.   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  $3,957,540  and  $3,983,791 at September 30,
     1996 and  1995,  respectively,  bearing  interest  at 9.75%.  The  mortgage
     provides for annual principal and interest  payments of $413,570 payable in
     equal monthly  installments  with a final payment of $3,964,286 due on July
     1, 1996. A temporary  extension on this mortgage was granted to November 1,
     1996;  management  continues to try to find  permanent  financing  for this
     property.

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

     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. 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 September 30, 1996
     and 1995 loan advances amounted to $1,816,081 and $1,748,557, respectively.
     This mortgage came due in July,  but has been  temporarily  extended  until
     June of 1997.

     Stonegate
     ---------

     A mortgage  with a balance of  $1,968,539  and  $1,988,795 at September 30,
     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.  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.

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  $153,407 and $169,336 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
     and 1995, 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 nine months ended September 30, 1996 or 1995.

     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

     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 September 30, 1996 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.

     Accounts  receivable  - affiliates  amounted to $358,987 at  September  30,
     1996. As of December 31, 1996, this balance has been fully reimbursed.

     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 $7,290 for both the nine months ended September
     30, 1996 and 1995.

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  September  30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and the
     results of its operations for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and
     1995 is as follows:

     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   continues  to  operate  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. Additionally,  managers at
all  properties  have been  instructed  to  concentrate  heavily  on  collection
efforts.  As the end of the year  approaches,  the General Partner is optimistic
that the  efforts  being put forth  will  result in  increased  occupancies  and
therefore  improved cash flow.  The  commercial  properties in this  Partnership
(including the Joint Venture  property)  continue to operate at 100%  occupancy.
The  market  in the  areas  where  these  buildings  are  located  is  deemed by
management to be very strong,  and  expansion of existing  buildings is strongly
being  considered  to  help  improve  cash  flow  for  the  entire  Partnership.
Management is also seeking new  financing  for several of the  properties in the
Partnership in hopes of lowering the interest  rates being paid currently  which
would also improve cash flow.

Management  continues  to put a lot of  emphasis  on methods of  increasing  the
appeal of the  property  including,  but not  limited  to,  rental  concessions,
additional emphasis on advertising  campaigns,  and implementation of a plan for
capital  improvements  such as new  carpeting,  appliances and  improvements  to
landscaping.  National  carpet and paint companies have been contacted and price
comparison studies have been made to keep control over the costs associated with
improving the property.

The  Partnership  did not make any  distributions  during the nine month periods
ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995.  The General  Partner  does not  anticipate
resuming distributions until sufficient cash flow is generated.

The  General  Partner  has a  signed  contract  for  the  sale  of  the  Goldkey
Apartments,  although a firm closing date has not been established, and the sale
is dependent on the completion of due diligence and mortgage contingencies.

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

For the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1996,  the  Partnership's  net loss was
$379,533 or $2.34 per limited  partnership  unit. Net loss for the quarter ended
September  30, 1995  amounted to $396,016 or $2.44 per unit.  For the nine month
period ended  September 30, 1996, the net loss was $735,476 or $4.53 per limited
partnership  unit as compared to $774,415 or $4.77 per limited  partnership unit
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995.

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

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

Partnership revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 totaled $996,476, a
decrease of  approximately  $113,000 from the 1995 amount of  $1,109,279.  Total
rental revenue  dropped just over $14,000 from the same quarter in 1995; this is
a vast improvement  over the decrease  incurred in the previous quarter of 1996.
The  decrease  in rental  income  can be  attributed  to an  increase  in rental
concessions  and  other  promotions  offered  to  increase  occupancies  at  all
properties.  Economic  occupancy levels at Stonegate  dropped from the second to
the third quarter of 1996 by almost ten percent, which was very damaging to this
property's  performance;  occupancy at The Commons on Lewis Avenue also dropped,
however by only a slight amount.  Continued  vacancies and delinquencies at Gold
Key Apartments has also effected the Partnerships performance.

For the quarter  ended  September  30, 1996,  Partnership  expenses  amounted to
$1,295,819,  decreasing by $177,000 from the same 1995 quarter  amount.  For the
nine month period ended September 30, 1996,  Partnership  expenses  decreased by
approximately $351,000 from the same period in 1995. The most prominent decrease
can be seen in property operations  expenditures.  There were small decreases in
payroll and  associated  costs noted this quarter;  management  has tried to cut
back site personnel in order to help the cash flow  difficulties  encountered in
the Partnership.  Additionally,  management continues to make several changes in
personnel at the properties in favor of more experienced  resident  managers and
leasing staff. This quarter also saw a decrease in contracted  services expenses
as  compared  to those of the  prior  year  third  quarter.  Most  notably  were
decreases in landscaping charges at Beaver Creek and Countrybrook (formerly West
Creeke).  As was noted last quarter,  there were decreases in utility cost, with
water expenses decreases most significantly; the drop in these expenses can most
likely be  attributed  to the increase in  vacancies.  At most of the  complexes
insurance and real estate taxes remained fairly constant as compared to the same
nine month period in the  previous  year.  Continuing  with the pattern that has
been noted all year, there was also a large decrease in affiliate administrative
expenses resulting from decreases in investor service fees,  brokerage fees, and
decreased management fees due to dropping occupancy at several complexes.

On a tax basis,  the partnership had a net loss of $416,939 or $2.57 per limited
partner  unit for the nine month period  ended  September  30, 1996 versus a tax
loss of $493,697 or $3.04 per unit for the nine month period ended September 30,
1995.
