                  Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
                                   (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 three  month  periods  ended March 31, 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 March 31, 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.

     ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF RENTAL PROPERTY (CONTINUED)
     ----------------------------------------------------------

     In February  1989 the  Partnership  acquired an 80 unit  apartment  complex
     (Beaver Creek) located in Beaver County,  Pennsylvania for a purchase price
     of $1,872,887, which included $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  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.

     In March 1991 the Partnership  purchased a 230 unit apartment  complex (The
     Commons on Lewis Avenue,  formerly  Williamsburg Commons) located in Tulsa,
     Oklahoma for a purchase  price of $2,965,803,  which  included  $269,721 in
     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 $3,943,336  and  $3,970,941 at March 31, 1997
     and 1996,  respectively,  bearing interest at 9.75%. The mortgage  provides
     for annual  principal  and interest  payments of $413,568  payable in equal
     monthly  installments  with a final  payment of  $3,964,286  due on July 1,
     1996. The loan is 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,  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 March 31, 1997 and
     1996 loan advances amounted to $1,776,081 and $1,816,081, respectively. The
     loan is secured by the Inducon-Columbia Office/Warehouse buildings.

     Stonegate
     ---------

     A mortgage  with a balance of $1,958,116  and  $1,978,895 at March 31, 1997
     and 1996,  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.  Management  is  currently  looking  for new  financing  for this
     property.

     The  aggregate  maturities  of mortgages  payable for each of the next five
     years and thereafter are as follows:

                   Year              Amount
                   ----              ------

                   1997             $ 7,717,423
                   1998                  20,930
                   1999                  21,081

                   TOTAL            $ 9,573,161
                                    ===========

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  $55,121 and $30,030 for the three  months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 1997 or 1996.







                                      -12-

<PAGE>

     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 March 31, 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  $2,640 for both the three  months ended March
     31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

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 Carriage House of Englewood (formerly 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 March 31,  1997 and  December  31,  1996 and the
     results of its  operations  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997 and
     1996 is as follows:

     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

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

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

The  Partnership  experienced a poor quarter from a cash flow point of view; the
cash flow deficiency from operations amounted to just over $240,000.  Management
is concentrating on the implementation of controls over expenses, through closer
monitoring  of payroll  and other  operating  expenses,  to balance  the loss of
revenues which resulted in the first quarter of 1997 over that which  management
had expected.  More  aggressive  marketing  campaigns are being put in place and
reinforced  through  routine/regular  charting  of which ads are  successful  in
attracting  renters  and  through  which  sources  the ads are  bringing  in the
traffic.  Management  also  continues to offer  attractive  incentives  to lease
properties whose occupancies fall below 90%. It is hoped that the combination of
strategies  being  followed by management  will lead to the generation of higher
revenues, thus improving the cash flow of the Partnership.

There were no distributions  made during the three month periods ended March 31,
1997 and 1996. The Partnership does not anticipate resuming  distributions until
sufficient cash flow is generated to cover the Partnership's liabilities and set
up  reserves  for  construction  work  which  is  necessary  at  several  of the
residential complexes.

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

Partnership  operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 resulted
in a net loss of  $278,710 or $1.72 per  limited  partnership  unit versus a net
loss of  $140,253 or $0.86 per limited  partnership  unit for the quarter  ended
March 31, 1996.

The tax basis loss for the quarter  ended March 31, 1997 amounted to $182,211 or
$1.12 per limited  partnership  unit.  The tax loss for the three  month  period
ended March 31, 1996 totaled $34,074 or $0.21 per limited partnership unit.

Revenue for the three month  period  ended March 31, 1997  amounted to $973,925,
decreasing  approximately  $38,600  from the  quarter  ended March 31,  1996.  A
decrease in rental  revenue  was solely  responsible  for the  decrease in total
revenue when comparing the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.  Interest and
other income increased  slightly between the two quarters;  the just over $2,300
increase  can be  primarily  attributed  to an  increase  in  security  deposits
forfeited. Lower occupancy at Countrybrook Estates and The Commons accounted for
much of the decrease in rental  revenue;  also  responsible for the decrease are
substantially  high  concessions and discounts  offered as a means of increasing
occupancy in the coming months.






                                      -22-

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

For the three month period ended March 31, 1997, total expenses were $1,228,646,
an  increase  of just over  $124,000  from the same  quarter  in 1996.  Property
operations  expenditures increased approximately $26,000 between the two periods
due to increased repairs and maintenance costs,  contracted  services (an almost
35% increase can be noted due to higher costs  associated with outside  services
responsible for landscaping,  painting,  carpeting,  etc.), and utilities. There
was a slight decrease in payroll and related  expenses between the two quarters.
Management has been concentrating heavily on upgrading and better maintaining of
the complexes as cash flow permits in an effort to increase  occupancy,  as well
as to maintain current tenants.  Interest  expense  remained  relatively  stable
between the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Total administrative charges
increased  just over  $61,500  as legal  fees  (primarily  due to  collections),
portfolio   management  charges,   investor  service  fees  and  brokerage  fees
(primarily due to the efforts to sell Countrybrook Estates) all increased.

Management is confident that overall Partnership revenue will increase in future
periods.  Occupancy  throughout the  Partnership,  particularly at Beaver Creek,
Stonegate and Countrybrook Estates, should begin to escalate; the high occupancy
level at  Inducon-Columbia  is expected to remain constant in the coming months.
Total  expenses,  meanwhile,  are anticipated to stay slightly ahead of previous
levels as the expected occupancy increases should ultimately lead to an increase
in several variable expenses,  and as the repairs and maintenance work scheduled
is completed.

For the three month  period  ended March 31,  1997,  the Gold Key Joint  Venture
generated a net loss of $55,946, an improvement from the net loss of $68,679 for
the three month period ended March 31, 1996.  Pursuant to the terms of the joint
venture agreement, the Partnership was allocated $22,378 of the loss in 1997 and
$27,472 of the loss in 1996.

The Research Triangle Industrial Park Joint Venture had a net loss of $3,221 for
the three month period ended March 31, 1997 with $1,611 of the loss allocated to
the  Partnership.  For the three month period  ended march 31,  1996,  the Joint
Venture  had a net loss of $41,547  with  $20,774 of the loss  allocated  to the
Partnership.  The  Research  Triangle  Office  Complex  continues  to enjoy high
occupancy and positive cash flow.
