Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
(a) Real Estate Associates Limited VI (the “Registrant”) has determined that there are errors in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, and that such financial statements should no longer be relied upon. Specifically, the Registrant has determined that management fee expense during this time period has been understated.
As a result of the Registrant’s determination, the Registrant will restate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 and will include such restated financial statements in an amended report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 and amended reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008. The Registrant intends to file its amended financial statements by January 20, 2009.
The certifying officers of the Registrant’s corporate general partner have reevaluated the adequacy of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures in light of the material error that was discovered. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal officer of the corporate general partner, who are the equivalent of the Registrant’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such periods noted above, the Registrant’s disclosure controls were not effective due to the Registrant’s failure to properly state management fee expense.
Authorized officers of the Registrant’s corporate general partner have discussed with the Registrant’s independent accountant the matters disclosed herein.
SIGNATURE
