General talk about software patterns

What about refactoring the whole code into a State pattern (removing the Booleans and instead introduce individual states as state classes). I don’t know if it is acceptable in your situation but at least you can consider it.

Hello,
         If I had a class that has a lot of boolean flags and I have an IF condition that requires me to do a lot of AND/OR among these boolean conditions is there a design pattern that will help me to refactor this code ? Currently I have a piece of code that I am working with that has 6 boolean checks and its very hard to understand what its trying to do.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Thanks,
Aswin.
